description: The influence of animal nutrition on meat quality Sabrina Ratti Abstract: Food and Agriculture organization of the United Nations (FAO) define meat quality as compositional quality and palatability factors such as visual appearance, smell, firmness, juiciness, tenderness, and flavour. Recently, the attention has been focused on the improvement of meat quality parameters. The protection of lipids from oxidative phenomena is fundamental to preserve meat color, nutritional quality and increase shelf life, enhancing consumer acceptability. Otherwise, it is possible to enhance nutritional quality of meat and meat products, modifying fat content and fatty acid profile. Animal feeding is a key factor for improve meat quality parameters through dietary supplementation with different additives. Antioxidants are one of the major strategies for preventing lipid oxidation in meat products, decreasing oxidative phenomena and increasing shelf life. The search for safe and effective natural antioxidants has focused on plants extract. Dietary supplementation with antioxidant mixture containing polyphenols in swine, enhance color parameters and oxidative stability in Longissimus Dorsi muscle (trial 1 and 2). Moreover, the same plant extract improved oxidative stability and sensory parameter in donkey and horse Longissimus Lomborum muscle (trial 3). Also genetic type significantly affects cooked ham chemical profile, without affecting other quality parameters (trial 4). Nutritional quality of pork products are improved by dietary linseed supplementation, enhancing muscle and adipose tissue n-3 PUFA content. Meta-analysis data provides information to find the optimal dosage, source and length of linseed dietary supplementation in relation to slaughter weight and genetic type (trial 5). Our results point out the importance of animal dietary supplementation with plant extract and linseed, on oxidative stability, physical, chemical and sensory parameters of different type of meat and meat product.

description: We study a lossy source coding problem with secrecy constraints in which a remote information source should be transmitted to a single destination via multiple agents in the presence of a passive eavesdropper. The agents observe noisy versions of the source and independently encode and transmit their observations to the destination via noiseless rate-limited links. The destination should estimate the remote source based on the information received from the agents within a certain mean distortion threshold. The eavesdropper, with access to side information correlated to the source, is able to listen in on one of the links from the agents to the destination in order to obtain as much information as possible about the source. This problem can be viewed as the so-called CEO problem with additional secrecy constraints. We establish inner and outer bounds on the rate-distortion-equivocation region of this problem. We also obtain the region in special cases where the bounds are tight. Furthermore, we study the quadratic Gaussian case and provide the optimal rate-distortion-equivocation region when the eavesdropper has no side information and an achievable region for a more general setup with side information at the eavesdropper.

description: Many diffusion MRI researchers, including the Human Connectome Project (HCP), acquire data using multishell (e.g., WU-Minn consortium) and diffusion spectrum imaging (DSI) schemes (e.g., USC-Harvard consortium). However, these data sets are not readily accessible to high angular resolution diffusion imaging (HARDI) analysis methods that are popular in connectomics analysis. Here we introduce a scheme conversion approach that transforms multishell and DSI data into their corresponding HARDI representations, thereby empowering HARDI-based analytical methods to make use of data acquired using non-HARDI approaches. This method was evaluated on both phantom and in-vivo human data sets by acquiring multishell, DSI, and HARDI data simultaneously, and comparing the converted HARDI, from non-HARDI methods, with the original HARDI data. Analysis on the phantom shows that the converted HARDI from DSI and multishell data strongly predicts the original HARDI (correlation coefficient > 0.9). Our in-vivo study shows that the converted HARDI can be reconstructed by constrained spherical deconvolution, and the fiber orientation distributions are consistent with those from the original HARDI. We further illustrate that our scheme conversion method can be applied to HCP data, and the converted HARDI do not appear to sacrifice angular resolution. Thus this novel approach can benefit all HARDI-based analysis approaches, allowing greater analytical accessibility to non-HARDI data, including data from the HCP.

description: In this paper, employing the path integral method in the framework of a canonical description of a Schwarzschild black hole, we obtain the corrected inverse temperature and entropy of the black hole. The corrections are those coming from the quantum effects as well as from the Generalized Uncertainty Principle effects. Furthermore, an equivalence between the polymer quantization and the Generalized Uncertainty Principle description is shown provided the parameters characterizing these two descriptions are proportional.

Geovistory: A research and data publication environment. To make ORD practices easily accessible
Creators: name: Beretta, Francesco

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: In the Humanities and Social Sciences (HSS) open research data practices are quite limited. New data management systems are being developed with different approaches and potential to make data reusable. (1) There are virtual research environments that come with rich visualization features but data are kept in silos and information across projects is not interconnected, nor data models aligned with standards, which greatly hampers the reuse potential. (2) Projects use Wikidata as a common knowledge graph to produce linked open data. This solution has the limitation that the data model is not based on established semantic modeling methods but rather on the spontaneous conceptualization of contributors. Hence, the meaning of data is not consistently defined and data reuse challenging. A new approach was initiated by the Digital History team of “Laboratoire de Recherche Historique Rhône-Alpes” with the symotih.org project and, together with KleioLab, a Swiss startup, further developed into the Geovistory ecosystem (geovistory.org). Geovistory
 provides two access points. First, a Toolbox, for researchers to produce, curate and analyze data. Second, a freely accessible data publication platform, in line with common Open Research Data requirement and the Linked Open Data vision. The data model is defined in OntoME according to CIDOC CRM (ISO21127) and an ecosystem of domain specific extensions (sdhss.org). Geovistory contributes to a growing knowledge graph for historical research providing open data for academia, GLAM institutions and the larger public. It thus bridges the gap of (a) easy-to-use multi-project research environments and (b) collaboratively curated, reliable socio-economic data to understand global contexts. Geovistory allows dealing with complexities, inconsistencies and contradictions within data. It innovates in the field of information systems for HSS in publishing open data that are interlinked with authority files and expressed with semantically clearly defined, extensible data models.

description: We consider the Cauchy problem for incompressible viscoelastic fluids in the whole space $\mathbb{R}^d$ ($d=2,3$). By introducing a new decomposition via Helmholtz's projections, we first provide an alternative proof on the existence of global smooth solutions near equilibrium. Then under additional assumptions that the initial data belong to $L^1$ and their Fourier modes do not degenerate at low frequencies, we obtain the optimal $L^2$ decay rates for the global smooth solutions and their spatial derivatives. At last, we establish the weak-strong uniqueness property in the class of finite energy weak solutions for the incompressible viscoelastic system.

description: We consider a full Navier-Stokes and $Q$-tensor system for incompressible liquid crystal flows of nematic type. In the two dimensional periodic case, we prove the existence and uniqueness of global strong solutions that are uniformly bounded in time. This result is obtained without any smallness assumption on the physical parameter $ξ$ that measures the ratio between tumbling and aligning effects of a shear flow exerting over the liquid crystal directors. Moreover, we show the uniqueness of asymptotic limit for each global strong solution as time goes to infinity and provide an uniform estimate on the convergence rate.

description: Galaxy shapes are not randomly oriented, rather they are statistically aligned in a way that can depend on formation environment, history and galaxy type. Studying the alignment of galaxies can therefore deliver important information about the physics of galaxy formation and evolution as well as the growth of structure in the Universe. In this review paper we summarise key measurements of galaxy alignments, divided by galaxy type, scale and environment. We also cover the statistics and formalism necessary to understand the observations in the literature. With the emergence of weak gravitational lensing as a precision probe of cosmology, galaxy alignments have taken on an added importance because they can mimic cosmic shear, the effect of gravitational lensing by large-scale structure on observed galaxy shapes. This makes galaxy alignments, commonly referred to as intrinsic alignments, an important systematic effect in weak lensing studies. We quantify the impact of intrinsic alignments on cosmic shear surveys and finish by reviewing practical mitigation techniques which attempt to remove contamination by intrinsic alignments.

description: The goal of this research is to apply an electrocoagulation process in continuous flow for the defluoridation of drinking water. Two sampling sites were studied, Temascalcingo (T), Mexico state and Jerecuaro (J), Guanajuato, with fluoride (F−) concentrations above the norms (2.3 mg L−1 and 4.5 mg L−1, respectively). In addition, a second Temascalcingo sample was enriched (TE) to 9.2 mg L−1 F− to study the effect of the F− concentration. A response surface design was proposed through a Box–Behnken model, and the variables studied were electrode system, flow-rate and current intensity. 51 experiments were performed with T-site to determine the best operating conditions for the system. These conditions were applied to the J-site. The experiments for T, Al/Al system achieves an F− concentration within permissible limits (0.72 mg L−1 F−) at 10 min of treatment, 0.2 A (Current density j 48.78 A m−2) and 10 mL min−1 with a removal efficiency of 68.69%, and after 160 min, the removal increased to 99.56%. AlMg/AlMg needs 10 min to achieve a concentration of 0.75 mg L−1 F− at 0.2 A (j 25 A m−2), 16 mL min−1 with a removal efficiency of 67.39%, and after 100 min, the removal is increased to 92.17%. An important and novel advantage is the use of AlMg allows an acceptable removal of F− (<1.5 mg L−1) at high and low concentrations in short periods of time; this also allows save energy costs and the effluent is free of residual aluminum, avoiding side effects.

description: We investigate the finite temperature expectation values of the charge and current densities for a massive fermionic field with nonzero chemical potential, $μ$, in the geometry of a straight cosmic string with a magnetic flux running along its axis. These densities are decomposed into the vacuum expectation values and contributions coming from the particles and antiparticles. The charge density is an even periodic function of the magnetic flux with the period equal to the quantum flux and an odd function of the chemical potential. The only nonzero component of the current density corresponds to the azimuthal current. The latter is an odd periodic function of the magnetic flux and an even function of the chemical potential. At high temperatures, the parts in the charge density and azimuthal current induced by the planar angle deficit and magnetic flux are exponentially small. The asymptotic behavior at low temperatures crucially depends whether the value $|μ|$ is larger or smaller than the mass of the field quanta, $m$. For $|μ|m$, the charge and current densities receive two contributions coming from the vacuum expectation values and from particles or antiparticles (depending on the sign of chemical potential). At large distances from the string the latter exhibits a damping oscillatory behavior with the amplitude inversely proportional to the square of the distance.

description: In this paper, we investigate an optimal boundary control problem for a two dimensional simplified Ericksen--Leslie system modelling the incompressible nematic liquid crystal flows. The hydrodynamic system consists of the Navier--Stokes equations for the fluid velocity coupled with a convective Ginzburg--Landau type equation for the averaged molecular orientation. The fluid velocity is assumed to satisfy a no-slip boundary condition, while the molecular orientation is subject to a time-dependent Dirichlet boundary condition that corresponds to the strong anchoring condition for liquid crystals. We first establish the existence of optimal boundary controls. Then we show that the control-to-state operator is Fréchet differentiable between appropriate Banach spaces and derive first-order necessary optimality conditions in terms of a variational inequality involving the adjoint state variables.

description: This thesis investigates the work of Castiel Vitorino Brasileiro, Aline Motta and Juliana dos Santos, three contemporary Brazilian artists who are proposing different ways of looking at the past while also addressing the interlocking forms of oppression at work in the present. Through their collaborations with relatives and ancestors, in which photography plays a crucial role, the artists reflect on the colonial trauma of over three centuries of genocide, slavery and colonization in Brazil. However, I argue that they go beyond that, proposing a way of reimagining frameworks of kinship as a form of redress. By articulating new lines of descent that constitute a (re)membering of those fragmented narratives that remain in the archives, I contend that the artists are addressing present structural, everyday racism while also performing and expanding the possibilities of inhabiting the future. In establishing a relation between their artistic practices, this thesis analyzes the ways they appeal to personal and collective memories brought to the foreground in family photographic records to conceive paths towards repairing, or at least naming, the wounds inflicted by the forms of class, gender and race violence that continue to plague the country. Moreover, this text reveals how their works invite a rearrangement of our perception of time and contribute to a critique of linear temporality, evincing the falseness of any narrative of the past as single, stable and flowing in only one direction. My research is guided by questions such as: How can photography serve as a medium of fabulation and of imagining family ties across time and space? If photographs help constitute a family’s affective archive, how can these intergenerational dialogues become a form of thinking about the future and inventing new lines of filiation? Furthermore, how can these gestures signal the way, if not toward healing, towards an ever-incomplete practice of redress?

description: A three-dimensional regional chemical transport model (CTM) with detailed aerosol microphysics, PMCAMx-UF, was applied to the European domain to simulate the contribution of direct emissions and secondary formation to total particle number concentrations during May 2008. PMCAMx-UF uses the Dynamic Model for Aerosol Nucleation and the Two-Moment Aerosol Sectional (TOMAS) algorithm to track both aerosol number and mass concentration using a sectional approach. The model predicts nucleation events that occur over scales of hundreds up to thousands of kilometers especially over the Balkans and Southeast Europe. The model predictions were compared against measurements from 7 sites across Europe. The model reproduces more than 70% of the hourly concentrations of particles larger than 10 nm (N10) within a factor of 2. About half of these particles are predicted to originate from nucleation in the lower troposphere. Regional nucleation is predicted to increase the total particle number concentration by approximately a factor of 3. For particles larger than 100 nm the effect varies from an increase of 20% in the eastern Mediterranean to a decrease of 20% in southern Spain and Portugal resulting in a small average increase of around 1% over the whole domain. Nucleation has a significant effect in the predictedN50 levels (up to a factor of 2 increase) mainly in areas where there are condensable vapors to grow the particles to larger sizes. A semi-empirical ternary sulfuric acid-ammonia-water parameterization performs better than the activation or the kinetic parameterizations in reproducing the observations. Reducing emissions of ammonia and sulfur dioxide affects certain parts of the number size distribution.

description: We introduce a near-linear complexity (geometric and meshless/algebraic) multigrid/multiresolution method for PDEs with rough ($L^\infty$) coefficients with rigorous a-priori accuracy and performance estimates. The method is discovered through a decision/game theory formulation of the problems of (1) identifying restriction and interpolation operators (2) recovering a signal from incomplete measurements based on norm constraints on its image under a linear operator (3) gambling on the value of the solution of the PDE based on a hierarchy of nested measurements of its solution or source term. The resulting elementary gambles form a hierarchy of (deterministic) basis functions of $H^1_0(Ω)$ (gamblets) that (1) are orthogonal across subscales/subbands with respect to the scalar product induced by the energy norm of the PDE (2) enable sparse compression of the solution space in $H^1_0(Ω)$ (3) induce an orthogonal multiresolution operator decomposition. The operating diagram of the multigrid method is that of an inverted pyramid in which gamblets are computed locally (by virtue of their exponential decay), hierarchically (from fine to coarse scales) and the PDE is decomposed into a hierarchy of independent linear systems with uniformly bounded condition numbers. The resulting algorithm is parallelizable both in space (via localization) and in bandwith/subscale (subscales can be computed independently from each other). Although the method is deterministic it has a natural Bayesian interpretation under the measure of probability emerging (as a mixed strategy) from the information game formulation and multiresolution approximations form a martingale with respect to the filtration induced by the hierarchy of nested measurements.

description: Many areas across Iran are subject to land subsidence, a sign of exceeding stress due to the over-extraction of groundwater during the past decades. This paper uses a huge dataset of Sentinel-1, acquired since 2014 in 66 image frames of 250×250km, to identify and monitor land subsidence across Iran. Using a two-step time series analysis, we first identify subsidence zones at a medium scale of 100m across the country. For the first time, our results provide a comprehensive nationwide map of subsidence in Iran and recognize its spatial distribution and magnitude. Then, in the second step of analysis, we quantify the deformation time series at the highest possible resolution to study its impact on civil infrastructure. The results spots the hazard posed by land subsidence to different infrastructure. Examples of road and railways affected by land subsidence hazard in Tehran and Mashhad, two of the most populated cities in Iran, are presented in this study.

description: We investigate blow-up properties for the initial-boundary value problem of a Keller-Segel model with consumption of chemoattractant when the spatial dimension is three. Through a kinetic reformulation of the Keller-Segel model, we first derive some higher-order estimates and obtain certain blow-up criteria for the local classical solutions. These blow-up criteria generalize the results in [4,5] from the whole space $\mathbb{R}^3$ to the case of bounded smooth domain $Ω\subset \mathbb{R}^3$. Lower global blow-up estimate on $\|n\|_{L^\infty(Ω)}$ is also obtained based on our higher-order estimates. Moreover, we prove local non-degeneracy for blow-up points.

description: We analyze the conditions under which a statistical error analysis can be carried out in the case of $ππ$ scattering, namely the normality of residuals in the conventional $χ^2$-fit method. Here we check that the current and benchmarking analyses only present very small violations of the normality requirements. In particular, we show how it is possible to amend slightly the selection of the experimental data, and improve the normality of residuals. As an example, we discuss the $0^{++}$ channel and the implications for the $f_0(500)$ and $f_0(980)$ resonances, obtaining that the new selection of data provides very similar and compatible results. In addition, the effect on the $f_0(500)$ and $f_0(980)$ resonance pole parameters is almost negligible, which reinforces the central results and the uncertainty analysis performed in these benchmarking determinations.

description: Recent N-body simulations have shown that Einasto radial profiles provide the most accurate description of dark matter halos. Predictions based on the traditional NFW functional form may fail to describe the structural properties of cosmic objects at the percent level required by precision cosmology. We computed the systematic errors expected for weak lensing analyses of clusters of galaxies if one wrongly models the lens density profile. Even though the NFW fits of observed tangential shear profiles can be excellent, viral masses and concentrations of very massive halos (>~ 10^{15}M_Sun/h) can be over- and underestimated by ~10 per cent, respectively. Misfitting effects also steepen the observed mass-concentration relation, as observed in multi-wavelength observations of galaxy groups and clusters. Based on shear analyses, Einasto and NFW halos can be set apart either with deep observations of exceptionally massive structures (>~ 2\times10^{15}M_Sun/h) or by stacking the shear profiles of thousands of group-sized lenses (>~ 10^{14}M_Sun/h).

Two sampling sites were studied, Temascalcingo (T), Mexico state and Jerecuaro (J), Guanajuato, with fluoride (F-) concentrations above the norms (2.3 mg L-1 and 4.5 mg L-1, respectively). In addition, a second Temascalcingo sample was enriched (TE) to 9.2 mg L-1 F- to study the effect of the F- concentration. A response surface design was proposed through a Box-Behnken model, and the variables studied were electrode system, flow-rate and current intensity. 51 experiments were performed with T-site to determine the best operating conditions for the system. These conditions were applied to the J-site. The experiments for T, Al/Al system achieves an F- concentration within permissible limits (0.72 mg L-1 F-) at 10 min of treatment, 0.2 A (j11Current density 48.78 A m-2) and 10 mL min-1 with a removal efficiency of 68.69 %, and after 160 min, the removal increased to 99.56 %. AlMg/AlMg needs 10 min to achieve a concentration of 0.75 mg L-1 F- at 0.2 A (j 25 A m-2), 16 mL min-1 with a removal efficiency of 67.39 %, and after 100 min, the removal is increased to 92.17 %. An important and novel advantage is the use of AlMg allows an acceptable removal of F- (<1.5 mg L-1) at high and low concentrations in short periods of time; this also allows save energy costs and the effluent is free of residual aluminum, avoiding side effects. 1Current density

description: Bright signal outputs are needed for fluorescence detection of biomolecules at their native expression levels. Increasing the number of labels on a probe often results in crowding-induced self-quenching of chromophores, and maintaining the function of the targeting moiety (e.g., an antibody) is a concern. Here we demonstrate a simple method to accommodate thousands of fluorescent dye molecules on a single antibody probe while avoiding the negative effects of self-quenching. We use a bottlebrush polymer from which extend hundreds of duplex DNA strands that can accommodate hundreds of covalently attached and/or thousands of noncovalently intercalated fluorescent dyes. This polymer−DNA assembly sequesters the intercalated fluorophores against dissociation and can be tethered through DNA hybridization to an IgG antibody. The resulting fluorescent nanotag can detect protein targets in flow cytometry, confocal fluorescence microscopy, and dot blots with an exceptionally bright signal that compares favorably to commercially available antibodies labeled with organic dyes or quantum dots.

description: We review the production of gravitational waves by an electroweak first order phase transition. The resulting signal is a good candidate for detection at next-generation gravitational wave detectors, such as LISA. Detection of such a source of gravitational waves could yield information about physics beyond the Standard Model that is complementary to that accessible to current and near-future collider experiments. We summarise efforts to simulate and model the phase transition and the resulting production of gravitational waves.

description: Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection worldwide with most people becoming infected at least once during their lifetime. Certain strains of HPV such as types 6 and 11 are oncogenic and are known to cause over 90% of anal cancers and anogenital warts. Men who have sex with men (MSM), especially those infected with HIV have a higher risk of acquiring HPV infection and developing associated disease due to immune system dysfunction. The burden of HPV related malignancies are more prevalent in MSM living with HIV than the general population. The NIAC recommends that MSM with HIV up to the age of 45 receive the HPV vaccine to reduce the prevalence of HPV related disease in this cohort of patients. The aim of this quality improvement (QI) project was to increase HPV vaccination uptake in MSM living with HIV. The Lean Six Sigma Model and DMAIC framework was selected to guide this QIP. Data was collected from 39 patient charts and demonstrated that 34% of MSM attending the HIV clinic had received at least 1 dose of the HPV vaccine. Interventions such as patient and healthcare provider education, a weekly ID nurse huddle and the addition of the HPV vaccine to the clinical review sheet and HIV ID record sheet were devised to reduce missed vaccination opportunities and increase vaccine uptake. The expected results of this project include an increased awareness of HPV related disease and increased uptake of the HPV vaccination in MSM living with HIV.

description: O jazz é uma música de músicos, exigente, desprotegida, arriscada. É sobretudo um símbolo, um significante com uma panóplia de significados. Conforma atitudes, associações variadas e muitas vezes contraditórias, quer do ponto de vista estético, racial, político, epistemológico, individual, social, filosófico. É uma música iconoclasta, idiossincrática, utópica, visceral. O jazz pode ser um estilo, definindo-se por aspectos tangíveis como a textura, o colorido sonoro, o fraseado, os instrumentos.

description: We derive a class of Navier--Stokes--Cahn--Hilliard systems that models two-phase flows with mass transfer coupled to the process of chemotaxis. These thermodynamically consistent models can be seen as the natural Navier--Stokes analogues of earlier Cahn--Hilliard--Darcy models proposed for modeling tumor growth, and are derived based on a volume-averaged velocity. Then we perform mathematical analysis on the simplified model variant with zero excess of total mass and equal densities. We establish the existence of global weak solutions in two and three dimensions for prescribed mass transfer terms. Under additional assumptions, we prove the global strong well-posedness in two dimensions with variable fluid viscosity and mobilities, which also includes a continuous dependence on initial data and mass transfer terms for the chemical potential and the order parameter in strong norms.

description: Many modern analytical methods are used to analyze samples issued from an experimental design; for example in medical, biological, chemical or agronomic fields. Those methods generate most of the time highly multivariate data like spectra or images, where the number of variables (descriptors) tends to be much larger than the number of experimental units. Therefore, multivariate statistical tools are needed to highlight variables that are consistently modified by experimental factors. In this context, two recent methods combining ANOVA and PCA, namely ASCA (ANOVA-Simultaneous Component Analysis) and APCA (ANOVA-Principal Component Analysis), were developed. They provide powerful visualization tool for multivariate structures in the space of each effect of the statistical model linked to the experimental design. Their main limitation is that they produce biased estimators of the factor effects when the design of experiment is unbalanced. This article presents the R package LMWiRe (Linear Models for Wide Responses) which implements ASCA+ and APCA+, an enhanced version of ASCA and APCA methods based on several principles from the theory of General Linear Models (GLM). In this paper the methodology is reviewed, the package structure and functions are presented, and a real-life metabolomics data set is used to clearly demonstrate the potential of ASCA+ and APCA+ methods to highlight true biomarkers corresponding to effects of interest in unbalanced designs.

description: Multi-path routing is effective to enhance network availability, by selecting multiple  failure-independent paths for reaching one destination in the hope to survive individual path failures. Researchers suggest to select IP-layer topologically disjoint paths, assuming that they are failure-independent and can hardly fail simultaneously. Unfortunately, failure correlations lurking behind the IP-layer topology can surreptitiously squash availability gained through multi-path routing, because selected paths can fail simultaneously. Spurred by this observation, we propose a new path metric and selection scheme resilient to failure correlations between topologically disjoint paths, by utilizing path availability history to reveal failure correlations. This paper presents a first stride towards the new direction of availability-oriented multi-path selection, with formal and systematic problem definition, modeling, algorithms, and evaluation of our scheme.
