description: This paper presents a nonperturbative method for solving eigenproblems. This method applies to almost all potentials and provides nonperturbative approximations for any energy level. The method converts an eigenproblem into a perturbation problem, obtains perturbation solutions through standard perturbation theory, and then analytically continues the perturbative solution into a nonperturbative solution. Concretely, we follow three main steps: (1) Introduce an auxiliary potential that can be solved exactly and treat the potential to be solved as a perturbation on this auxiliary system. (2) Use perturbation theory to obtain an approximate polynomial of the eigenproblem. (3) Use a rational approximation to analytically continue this approximate polynomial into the nonperturbative region.

description: We have developed a continuous model of indirect reciprocity and thereby investigated effects of mutation in assessment rules. Within this continuous framework, the difference between the resident and mutant norms is treated as a small parameter for perturbative expansion. Unfortunately, the linear-order expansion leads to singularity when applied to the leading eight, the cooperative norms that resist invasion of another norm having a different behavioral rule. For this reason, this study aims at a second-order analysis for the effects of mutation when the resident norm is one of the leading eight. We approximately solve a set of coupled nonlinear equations using Newton's method, and the solution is compared with Monte Carlo calculations. The solution indicates how the characteristics of a social norm can shape the response to its close variants appearing through mutation. Specifically, it shows that the resident norm should allow one to refuse to cooperate toward the ill-reputed, while regarding cooperation between two ill-reputed players as good, so as to reduce the impact of mutation.This study enhances our analytic understanding on the organizing principles of successful social norms.

Interdisziplinäres Labor Bild Wissen Gestaltung

description: Komplexe Probleme lassen sich nicht in den Grenzen eines einzelnen wissenschaftlichen Fachs lösen. Seit 2012 erforschen an der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin mehr als 40 verschiedene Disziplinen im Interdisziplinären Labor Bild Wissen Gestaltung grundlegende Gestaltungsprozesse der Wissenschaften.

Das Interdisziplinäre Labor ist ein Zusammenschluss aus Geistes-, Natur- und Technikwissenschaften, der Medizin und – erstmalig für Grundlagenforschung – auch der Gestaltungsdisziplinen Design und Architektur. Der Fokus liegt auf den fünf Forschungsschwerpunkten »Bild & Handlung«, »Formprozess & Modellierung«, »Active Matter«, »Architekturen des Wissens« und »Sammeln & Ausstellen«.

Forschungsergebnisse werden auch via Open Access veröffentlicht, wobei sich zwei Strategien unterscheiden lassen: Einerseits verfolgt das Interdisziplinäre Labor den ›grünen‹ Open Access-Weg. In Verhandlung mit den Verlagen werden einzelne Publikationen über deren Homepage oder per Self-Archiving auf der eigenen Webpräsenz sichtbar gemacht.

Andererseits veröffentlichen Forschende auch ›goldene‹ Open Access-Publikationen über Online-Journals, Plattformen bzw. Repositorien. Diese Formate sind ebenfalls über die eigene Homepage zu finden. Besonderes Augenmerk gilt zudem projektübergreifenden Publikationen, die im Eigenverlag gedruckt werden und grundsätzlich via Open Access zugänglich sind. Im Corporate Design des Labors gestaltet, werden ihre Inhalte über die Rubrik »Publikationen« kostenlos auf der Website zur Verfügung gestellt.

Das Team der Editorischen Koordination prüft noch geeignete Repositories, die allen Projektpartnern und deren Anforderungen gerecht werden. Für die Zukunft setzt das Interdisziplinäre Labor Bild Wissen Gestaltung unter anderem auf eine interdisziplinäre Plattform (die ID+ Stage) und eine App zur Durchforstung historischer biologischer Literatur – beide freizugänglich und kostenlos.

description: The pursuit of non-radiating sources and radiation-less motion for accelerated charged particles has captivated physicists for generations. Non-radiating sources represent intricate current charge configurations that do not emit radiation beyond their source domain. In this study, we investigate a single non-radiating source, comprising a low-index dielectric disk excited by a split ring resonator. Employing analytical and numerical methods, we demonstrate that this configuration supports an anapole state, exhibiting minimal or no radiation, effectively representing a non-radiating source. The radiation suppression is accomplished through the destructive interference of electric dipoles excited on the metallic and dielectric components of the proposed prototype. Transforming the design into a cost-effective device capable of suppressing radiation, we achieve impressive numerical and experimental agreement, affirming the formation of the anapole state using the lowest order multi-poles. Moreover, the devised anapole device is remarkably compact, constructed from a low-index dielectric, and employs readily available components. As a versatile platform, the proposed device can spearhead anapole research for diverse applications, including sensing, wireless charging, RFID tags, and other non-linear applications.

description: Mesothelioma has a poor prognosis, with a 5-year overall survival (OS) rate less than 5%. Immunotherapy has been proven as a promising alternative to platinum-based therapies in first-line treatment. Our systematic literature search included 7 randomized clinical trials involving 2,549 patients to evaluate the impact of immunotherapy on OS across different lines of therapy, histologic subtypes, and ECOG performance status, and to assess the correlation between OS, progression-free survival (PFS), and objective response rate (ORR). Immunotherapy significantly improved OS (HR 0.78, P = 0.0005) with a similar benefit observed in first-line and second/later-line treatment (P = 0.25) as well as in all ECOG statuses (P = 0.32). A significantly greater benefit was observed in non-epithelioid compared to epithelioid mesothelioma (P = 0.002). Additionally, a strong correlation was shown only between OS and PFS (r = 0.86, P = 0.01). Our results emphasize the importance of immunotherapy in mesothelioma and further support PFS as a surrogate endpoint.

description: Quantumness refers to the peculiar and counterintuitive characteristics exhibited by quantum systems. Tsirelson inequalities have emerged as a powerful tool in quantum theory to detect quantumness and entanglement of harmonic oscillators, spins undergoing uniform precession, and anharmonic systems. In this paper we harness the versatility of Tsirelson inequalities to address two distinct problems: detecting cheating in classic shell games and probing quantumness in spatially separated systems and harmonic oscillators. By adopting a black-box approach and a geometric characterization of the space of conditional probabilities, we demonstrate that Tsirelson inequalities can be used in both scenarios, enabling us to uncover quantum signatures and identify cheaters in a single unified framework. This connection provides an intuitive different perspective on quantumness of mechanical systems.

description: The study of geometrically frustrated many-body quantum systems is of central importance to uncover novel quantum mechanical effects. We design a scheme where ultracold bosons trapped in a one-dimensional state-dependent optical lattice are modeled by a frustrated Bose-Hubbard Hamiltonian. A derivation of the Hamiltonian parameters based on Cesium atoms, further show large tunability of contact and nearest-neighbour interactions. For pure contact repulsion, we discover the presence of two phases peculiar to frustrated quantum magnets: the bond-order-wave insulator with broken inversion symmetry and a chiral superfluid. When the nearest-neighbour repulsion becomes sizeable, a further density-wave insulator with broken translational symmetry can appear. We show that the phase transition between the two spontaneously-symmetry-broken phases is continuous, thus representing a one-dimensional deconfined quantum critical point not captured by the Landau-Ginzburg-Wilson symmetry-breaking paradigm. Our results provide a solid ground to unveil the novel quantum physics induced by the interplay of non-local interactions, geometrical frustration, and quantum fluctuations.

Cosmological Constraints from the eBOSS Lyman-$α$ Forest using the PRIYA Simulations

description: We present new cosmological parameter constraints from the eBOSS Lyman-$α$ forest survey. We use a new theoretical model and likelihood based on the PRIYA simulation suite. PRIYA is the first suite to resolve the Lyman-$α$ forest in a ($120$~Mpc/h~)$^3$ volume, using a multi-fidelity emulation technique. We use PRIYA to predict Lyman-$α$ forest observables with $\lesssim 1\%$ interpolation error over an $11$ dimensional ($9$ simulated, $2$ in post-processing) parameter space. We identify an internal tension within the flux power spectrum data. Once the discrepant data is removed, we find the primeval scalar spectral index measured at a pivot scale of $k_0 = 0.78$ Mpc$^{-1}$ to be $n_P = 1.009^{+0.027}_{-0.018}$ at 68\% confidence. This measurement from the Lyman-$α$ forest flux power spectrum alone is in reasonable agreement with Planck, and in tension with earlier eBOSS analyses. The amplitude of matter fluctuations is $σ_8 = 0.733^{+0.026}_{-0.029}$ at 68\% confidence, in agreement with Dark Energy Survey weak lensing measurements and other small-scale structure probes and in tension with CMB measurements from Planck and ACT. The effective optical depth to Lyman-$α$ photons from our pipeline is in good agreement with earlier high resolution measurements. We find a linear power at $z=3$ and $k = 0.009$ s/km of $Δ_L^2 = 0.302^{+0.024}_{-0.027}$ with a slope $n_\mathrm{eff} = -2.264^{+0.026}_{-0.018}$. Our flux power spectrum only chains prefer a low level of heating during helium reionization. When we add IGM temperature data we find $n_P = 0.983\pm 0.020$ and $σ_8 = 0.703^{+0.023}_{-0.027}$. Our chains prefer an early and long helium reionization event, as suggested by measurements from the helium Lyman-$α$ forest. In the near future we will use our pipeline to infer cosmological parameters from the DESI Lyman-$α$ data.

Liquid–Solid extraction of mercury (II) from aqueous solution by chelating resin Chelex-100
Creators: name: Amara-Rekkab, Afaf
name: Didi, Mohamed Amine
Publisher: name: European Chemical Bulletin
Year: 2014

description: The sorption of mercury (II) from aqueous medium on a chelating resin Chelex 100 has been studied in batch mode. Since the extraction kinetic was obtained, with a mixture of 0.1 g of resin and 5 mL of mercury (II) at 200. 59 mg/L of initial concentration, extraction equilibrium was reached within 180 min of mixing. The influence of some parameters such as initial mercury (II) ion concentration, initial pH of aqueous solution, ion strength  and the amounts of resin have been studied at fixed temperature (20±1 °C). The optimum pH value level for quantitative sorption was 5.7. The best performance obtained was 98.0% of extraction yield equivalent to 14.19 mg /g of resin. The pseudo-first- order equation, pseudo-second-order equation, the intra-particle diffusion model and Boyd’s diffusivity model were used to describe the kinetics data and rate constants were evaluated. The Freundlich and Langmuir adsorption models were applied to describe the equilibrium isotherms.

Publisher: name: European Chemical Bulletin
Year: 2014

description: As the search for renewable resources for removal of pollutants from the environment grows, the use of biological sorbents has received a great deal of attention. Biological sorbents such as human hair have been explored due to their ready availability, renewability and effectiveness. This manuscript reports a study of the dynamics of copper (II) ions uptake by human hair using conductivity and pH measurements. The adsorption of these ions demonstrated a logarithmic behaviour, resembling first order kinetics, although the analysis showed a deviation from the first order kinetics. The maximum uptake of 288 µg g-1 was reached after about 120 minutes of static equilibration using a solution of 100 ppm. Interestingly the adsorption seems to be intermediate between a simple chemisorption and ion exchange as evidenced by a deviation from the linearity when conductivity was plotted against the pH measurements. However there was a significant correlation (R2 = 0.9926) between conductivity and pH in the case of a classical ion exchange resin – Amberlite CG 50.

description: In these studies Saccharomyces cerevisiae NRRL Y-566 was used to produce ethanol from a concentrated glucose (250-300 gL-1) solution. When fermentation media were supplemented with CaCO3 and CaCl2, ethanol concentrations, yield, and productivities were improved significantly. In control batch fermentation, the culture was able to produce 20.87 gL-1 ethanol with a productivity of 0.25 gL-1h-1 when using 100 gL-1 sugar solution in feed. When supplemented with a solution of 0.40 gL-1 CaCl2, ethanol concentration, yield, and productivity were improved to 90.0 gL-1, 0.48, and 1.25 gL-1h-1 (500% increase), respectively. The effect of CaCO3 supplementation was not as pronounced as that of CaCl2. Using these parameters, the process economics for production of ethanol was performed and it was projected that supplementation with 0.40 gL-1 CaCl2 would result in the production of ethanol for $0.91 kg-1. It was also projected that improving productivity to 37.5 gL-1h-1 using cell recycle and supplementation with CaCl2 would result in the production of ethanol for $0.70 kg-1 employing S. cerevisiae NRRL Y-566. Using Z. mobilis in membrane cell recycle reactors and application of CaCl2 can result in achieving high productivities (500-600 gL-1h-1) and reduction in ethanol production price to $0.59 kg-1.

description: In the present work, we describe a low-cost, unreported and simple procedure for biosynthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) using Bacillus subtilis as eco-friendly reducing and capping agent. The synthesized ZnO NPs were characterized by UV-Vis spectroscopy, FTIR, XRD, SEM, TEM, PL and TGA techniques. The biosynthesis methods were carried out for its intrinsic advantages, as it is simple, cost-effective, environment-friendly and can be easily scaled up for large scale synthesis. The prepared nano-particles were used as catalyst for the fast and efficient synthesis of steroidal thiophenes. The one pot three-component mixture of steroidal ketones (1-3), malononitrile/ ethyl cyanoacetate and elemental sulfur were converted into the corresponding steroidal thiophenes (4-9) in moderate to high yields with excellent selectivity.

Kinetic- spectrophotometric determination of trace amounts of sulfide with malachite green in micellar medium
Creators: name: Alizadeh, Nina

Publisher: name: European Chemical Bulletin
Year: 2014

description: The determination of trace amount of sulfide based on the addition reaction of sulfide with malachite green at pH= 7.5 and 25 ºC has been investigated in micellar media. Surfactants studied include  non-ionic surfactant, Trition-x-100, anionic surfactant, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), cationic surfactant, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC). The reaction is followed spectrophotometrically by measuring the decrease in absorbance of the indicator at lmax= 630 nm by the fixed time method. The reaction in the presence of Trition-x-100 is faster than in the absence of surfactant in medium. No significant change was observed with SDS, CTAB and CPC. Under the optimum experimental conditions decreases in the absorbance of malachite green is proportional to the concentration of sulfide in the range 25-1750 ng.ml-1 with a fixed time method at the first 5, 15 and 25 seconds from initiation of the reaction. The detection limit and quantification limit of the proposed kinetic method were 0.166, 0.207and 0.281μgml-1(Dt=5,15 and 25)and 0. 555, 0.692and 0.959μgml-1(Dt=5,15and 25) respectively. To confirm the usefulness of the proposed method, sulfide was determined in river, spring, fish farm, and tap water wastewater samples without any purification or using masking reagents.

description: Although it is conjectured that a phase transition from hadronic to deconfined quark matter in the ultrahigh-density environment of Neutron Stars (NS), the nature of phase transition remains an unresolved mystery. Furthermore, recent efforts reveal that the finite surface tension effects can lead to a mixed phase with different geometric shapes (so-called "pasta" phases), leading to a smooth phase transition from hadronic to quark matter in the NS interior. Depending on whether there is a strong or a pasta-induced smooth first-order phase transition, one may expect a third family of stable, compact stars or "twin stars" to appear, with the same mass but different radii compared to NSs. The possibility of identifying twin stars using astrophysical observations has been a subject of interest. This study investigates the potential of probing the nature of the hadron-quark phase transition through future gravitational wave (GW) detections from fundamental ($f$-) mode oscillations in Neutron Stars. Using a newly developed model that parametrizes the hadron-quark phase transition with ``pasta phases," we calculate $f$-mode characteristics within a full general relativistic framework. We then use Universal Relations in GW asteroseismology to derive stellar properties from the detected mode parameters. Our findings suggest that detecting GWs from $f$-modes with third-generation GW detectors offers a promising scenario for the existence of twin stars. However, we also estimate various uncertainties in determining the mode parameters and conclude that these uncertainties make it more challenging to identify the nature of the hadron-quark phase transition.

description: This study hypothesized that changes in anatomical traits and cuticular waxes throughout the phenological stages of Borreria densiflora DC. play a role in glyphosate tolerance. An experiment was conducted in 4x2x3 + 1 factorial scheme. The first factor was four phenological stages of B. densiflora; the second was two glyphosate doses ; the third was leaf collection time after herbicide application, plus an untreated control. Results showed that glyphosate efficacy decreased with plant maturity, with higher susceptibility in early stages. Metabolic adaptations during flowering suggested tolerance to the herbicide. Changes in wax composition correlated with reduced absorption, highlighting their role in herbicide response.

description: Purcell's planar three-link microswimmer is a classic model of swimming in low-Reynolds-number fluid, inspired by motion of flagellated microorganisms. Many works analyzed this model, assuming that the two joint angles are directly prescribed in phase-shifted periodic inputs. In this work, we study a more realistic scenario by considering an extension of this model which accounts for joints' elasticity and mechanical actuation of periodic torques, so that the joint angles are dynamically evolving. Numerical analysis of the swimmer's dynamics reveals multiplicity of periodic solutions, depending on parameters of the inputs - frequency and amplitude of excitation, joints' stiffness ratio, as well as joint's activation. We numerically study swimming direction reversal, as well as bifurcations, stability transitions, and symmetry breaking of the periodic solutions, which represent the effect of buckling instability observed in swimming microorganisms. The results demonstrate that this variant of Purcell's simple model displays rich nonlinear dynamic behavior with actuated-elastic joints. Similar results are also obtained when studying an extended model of a six-link microswimmer.

description: Avermectin (AVM) is the parent molecule of the family of macrocyclic lactone compounds that are generated by the bacterium Streptomyces avermitilis which exhibits a broad spectrum of activity and potency as a parasiticide. In this study, a comprehensive forced degradation study was carried out on AVM following ICH guidelines to identify and characterize its degradation products (DPs). AVM was subjected to acidic, alkaline, oxidative, thermal, and photolytic stress conditions. Forced degraded samples were analyzed using a gradient elution on an ACE UltraCore 2.5 SuperC18 column (150 × 4.6 mm, 2.5 µm particle size) to achieve sufficient separation of the active ingredient, impurities, and degradation products. AVM was susceptible to degradation under all conditions tested, with 7 major degradation products and one critical process impurity identified. Several minor degradation products and process impurities were also identified. The DPs were identified using liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry in comparison with the tandem mass spectrometry fragmentation profile of AVM B1a. Additionally, the identity of monosaccharide B1a, 8a-OH B1a, and 26-epimer B1a were elucidated through 1D and 2D nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Understanding the stability and degradation profile of Avermectin will allow for improved drug product formulations of not only Avermectin active ingredient but also be applicable to all compounds of the avermitilis family.

description: We present a method to obtain a high-significance detection of relativistic effects on cosmological scales. Measurements of such effects would be instrumental for our understanding of the Universe, as they would provide a further confirmation of the validity of general relativity as the correct description of the gravitational interaction, in a regime very far from that of strong gravity, where it has been tested to exquisite accuracy. Despite its relevance, the detection of relativistic effects has hitherto eluded us, mainly because they are stronger on the largest cosmic scales, plagued by cosmic variance. Our work focuses on the cosmological probe of galaxy clustering, describing the excess probability of finding pairs of galaxies at a given separation due to them being part of the same underlying cosmic large-scale structure. We focus on the two-point correlation function of the distribution of galaxies in Fourier space -- the power spectrum -- where relativistic effects appear as an imaginary contribution to the real power spectrum. By carefully tailoring cuts in magnitude/luminosity, we are able to obtain two samples (bright and faint) of the same galaxy population, whose cross-correlation power spectrum allows for a detection of the relativistic contribution. In particular, we optimise the definition of the samples to maximise the detection significance of the relativistic Doppler term for both a low-$z$ Bright Galaxy Sample and a high-$z$ H$α$ emission line galaxy population.

description: Microarchitectural timing side channels have been thoroughly investigated as a security threat in hardware designs featuring shared buffers (e.g., caches) or parallelism between attacker and victim task execution. However, contradicting common intuitions, recent activities demonstrate that this threat is real even in microcontroller SoCs without such features. In this paper, we describe SoC-wide timing side channels previously neglected by security analysis and present a new formal method to close this gap. In a case study on the RISC-V Pulpissimo SoC, our method detected a vulnerability to a previously unknown attack variant that allows an attacker to obtain information about a victim's memory access behavior. After implementing a conservative fix, we were able to verify that the SoC is now secure w.r.t. the considered class of timing side channels.

description: Acute kidney injury (AKI) induced by sodium aescinate injection is a significant clinical issue, but the mechanisms responsible for this nephrotoxicity are not fully understood. Conventional reversed-phase liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (RPLC-MS) often fails to provide a comprehensive metabolite profile in urine due to its limitations in effectively analyzing metabolites with varying polarities. This study aims to address this issue by utilizing a combination of hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) and reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) to investigate the urine metabolites in a rat model of sodium aescinate induced AKI and to explore potential metabolic pathways associated with this condition. A combination of HILIC and RPLC, equipped with quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry, was established for untargeted metabolomic profiling of urine samples from rats with sodium aescinate-induced AKI. Metabolomic profiling identified 61 differential metabolites that were significantly altered in the urine of AKI rats. Pathway enrichment analysis indicated that these metabolites were classified into 12 metabolic pathways. This study captures a broader spectrum of metabolites under HILIC and RPLC modes than a single mode, enhancing our understanding of the metabolic mechanisms involved in sodium aescinate-induced kidney injury.

description: Understanding the anisotropy of ultra high-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) is crucial for unraveling the origins and propagation mechanisms of these enigmatic particles. In this work, we studied the dipolar anisotropy of UHECRs in the diffusive regime by considering three cosmological models: the standard $Λ$CDM model, $f(R)$ gravity power-law model and the Starobinsky model. This work aims to see the role of the $f(R)$ gravity theory in understanding the anisotropy of UHECRs without condoning the standard cosmology. We found that the amplitude of the dipolar anisotropy is sensitive to these cosmological models, with the $f(R)$ power-law model predicting the largest amplitude, while the $Λ$CDM model predicting the smallest amplitude at most of the energies in the range considered. The predicted amplitude of the Starobinsky model lies within the range of the $Λ$CDM one. This work not only provides a way for exploration of UHECRs anisotropy within different cosmological contexts but also may pave the way for new avenues of research at the intersection of high-energy astrophysics.
