description: Background Tocilizumab is an interleukin-6 inhibitor that reduces mortality and the need for invasive mechanical ventilation, while increasing the possibility of successful hospital discharge for hyperinflammatory patients with severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). No increase in adverse events or serious infections has been reported previously. Aim To describe the characteristics and outcomes of patients with severe COVID-19 in critical care who received tocilizumab, and to compare mortality and length of hospital stay for patients who received tocilizumab (N=41) with those who did not (N=33). Methods Retrospective review of data related to patients with COVID-19 who received tocilizumab in a critical care setting from 1st January to 31st December 2021.
 Findings Amongst COVID-19 survivors, those who had received tocilizumab had longer intensive care unit (ICU) stays (median length 21 vs 9 days) and hospital stays (45 vs 34 days) compared with those who had not received tocilizumab. Thirty-day mortality (29% vs 36%; P=0.5196) and 60-day mortality (37% and 42%; P=0.6138) were not significantly lower in patients who received tocilizumab. Serious bacterial and fungal infections occurred at higher frequency amongst patients who received tocilizumab [odds ratio (OR) 2.67, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.04–6.86; P=0.042], and at significantly higher frequency than in non-COVID-19 ICU admissions (OR 5.26, 95% CI 3.08–9.00; P<0.0001). Conclusions In this single-centre study, patients in critical care with severe COVID-19 who received tocilizumab had a greater number of serious bacterial and fungal infections, but this may not have been a direct effect of tocilizumab treatment.

description: Newt Gingrich's emergence as the front-runner for the Republican nomination for president, at least according to the most recent polls, is quite extraordinary. The comeback narrative is a common one in presidential politics, but it usually applies to a leading candidate who stumbles badly, but regains his footing in time for the early primaries. Gingrich's comeback is something very different. Since his political fall well over a decade ago, Gingrich had been more of a political gadfly and reminder of another era than a serious political force. Even during most of this campaign, Gingrich has not done much to suggest that he was capable of, or even interested in, playing more than a fringe role. However, with only about three weeks to go before the Iowa caucus, Gingrich has become a plausible candidate for his party's nomination for president.

description: We present an analysis of the Hubble diagram for 12 Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) observed in the near-infrared J and H bands. We select SNe exclusively from the redshift range 0.03 < z < 0.09 to reduce uncertainties coming from peculiar velocities while remaining in a cosmologically well-understood region. All of the SNe in our sample exhibit no spectral or B-band light-curve peculiarities and lie in the B-band stretch range of 0.8-1.15. Our results suggest that SNe Ia observed in the near-infrared (NIR) are the best known standard candles. We fit previously determined NIR light-curve templates to new high-precision data to derive peak magnitudes and to determine the scatter about the Hubble line. Photometry of the 12 SNe is presented in the natural system. Using a standard cosmology of (H_0, Omega_m, Lambda) = (70,0.27,0.73) we find a median J-band absolute magnitude of M_J = -18.39 with a scatter of 0.116 and a median H-band absolute magnitude of M_H = -18.36 with a scatter of 0.085. The scatter in the H band is the smallest yet measured. We search for correlations between residuals in the J- and H-band Hubble diagrams and SN properties, such as SN colour, B-band stretch and the projected distance from host-galaxy centre. The only significant correlation is between the J-band Hubble residual and the J-H pseudo-colour. We also examine how the scatter changes when fewer points in the near-infrared are used to constrain the light curve. With a single point in the H band taken anywhere from 10 days before to 15 days after B-band maximum light and a prior on the date of H-band maximum set from the date of B-band maximum, we find that we can measure distances to an accuracy of 6%. The precision of SNe Ia in the NIR provides new opportunities for precision measurements of both the expansion history of the universe and peculiar velocities of nearby galaxies.

The finite field restriction problem

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: This work studies the extension problem for subsets of finite fields. This remains an important unsolved problem in harmonic analysis, in both the Euclidean and finite field setting. We survey the partial results obtained to date, common techniques, and open conjectures. In the case of a homogeneous variety H over a d-dimensional finite field, the L² to L⁴ boundedness is proved whenever H contains no hyperplanes. This is accomplished by proving an incidence theorem for cones of this type, and applying a sufficient condition for L² to L²m obtained by Mockenhaupt and Tao in their 2004 introductory paper. We moreover present counterexamples for particular cones when Γ<4, establishing the 2 to 4 bound as optimal in Γ for general homogeneous varieties.

description: The k-truss is a type of cohesive subgraphs proposed recently for the study of networks. While the problem of computing most cohesive subgraphs is NP-hard, there exists a polynomial time algorithm for computing k-truss. Compared with k-core which is also efficient to compute, k-truss represents the "core" of a k-core that keeps the key information of, while filtering out less important information from, the k-core. However, existing algorithms for computing k-truss are inefficient for handling today's massive networks. We first improve the existing in-memory algorithm for computing k-truss in networks of moderate size. Then, we propose two I/O-efficient algorithms to handle massive networks that cannot fit in main memory. Our experiments on real datasets verify the efficiency of our algorithms and the value of k-truss.

description: Recent results of the Pierre Auger (Auger) fluorescence detectors indicate an increasingly heavy composition of ultra-high energy (UHE) cosmic rays (CRs). Assuming that this trend continues up to the highest energies observed by the Auger surface detectors we derive the constraints this places on the local source distribution of UHE CR nuclei. Utilizing an analytic description of UHE CR propagation we derive the expected spectra and composition for a wide range of source emission spectra. We find that sources of intermediate-to-heavy nuclei are consistent with the observed spectra and composition data above the ankle. This consistency requires the presence of nearby sources within 60 Mpc and 80 Mpc for silicon and iron only sources, respectively. The necessity of these local sources becomes even more compelling in the presence nano-Gauss local extragalactic magnetic fields.

description: We propose a setup for quantum memory based on a single two-level atom in a half cavity with a moving mirror. We show that various temporal shapes of incident photon can be efficiently stored and readout by shaping the time-dependent decay rate $γ(t)$ between the atom and the light. This is achieved uniquely by an appropriate motion of the mirror without the need for additional control laser or atomic level. We present an analytical expression for the efficiency of the process and study its dependence on the ratio between the incident light field bandwidth and the atomic decay rate. We discuss possible implementations and experimental issues, particularly for a single atom or ion in a half cavity quantum optical setup as well as a superconducting qubit in the context of circuit QED.

description: In the context of Industry 4.0, digital technologies and concepts are becoming more and more important in companies, as they can provide solutions to current challenges. The digital twin in particular can be used in various fields of application and thus create added value. However, the variety of different application possibilities as well as the difficult evaluation of the added value of the digital twin poses great challenges for companies. This publication therefore presents a method that offers companies a structured approach to identifying and subsequently evaluating possible uses of the digital twin based on their digital maturity. First, the digital maturity of a company is determined by means of a point-based questionnaire and a suitable identification method is proposed based on the result of the digital maturity. If a field of application could be identified with the proposed method, it is evaluated by a self-developed "Digital Twin Canvas" and, depending on the field of application, by a suitable simulation. By applying the method in various companies from different sectors, the method's functionality has been validated.
Another New Normal: How Can We Sustainably Fund Open Access Monographs -  Opening the Future
Creators: name: Grady, Tom
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: In early 2022 UKRI released a policy statement mandating OA monographs, with an implementation date of January 1st, 2024. This date will see a shift from a hypothetical future for OA books to a concrete policy with a hard deadline. In Europe, cOAlition S/Plan S  have mooted an OA books policy and here in the UK there are also potential implications of the next REF.
So it seems clear there is a pressing need for libraries and academic book publishers to grapple with the challenges and opportunities now. And perhaps chief among those is the question of how this 'new normal' of OA books will be paid for. The transition to OA should not leave smaller and medium-sized presses behind; nor should it rely on paying BPCs, which risks excluding any author without funding. And the transition must be sustainable for libraries. 
We'll demonstrate how BPCs worsen inequality by favouring the most wealthy institutions and authors, and we'll highlight some collective library funding efforts that seek to spread the funding of OA books so that no single institution bears a disproportionate cost. With the clock ticking on imminent policies, conversation is urgently needed on the practicalities of making mandates reality. We'll discuss what libraries can do to meet the challenge, and how supporting collective programmes will ensure that the transition to OA is a sustainable and bibliodiverse one. 
This session will feature two-way dialogue, perhaps even using breakouts if there are enough attendees. COPIM's role will be to recap the issues, keep ideas flowing, capture interesting points, prompt and even provoke the audience with challenging questions. We want to hear from expert library colleagues discussing practical ways in which libraries can get involved. We want to ask them as the experts how they are supporting, funding, advocating for, and sustaining OA monographs at their institution.

description: Digital technologies have gained significant importance in the course of the 4th Industrial Revolution and these technologies are widely implemented, nowadays. However, it is necessary to bear in mind that an ill-considered use can quickly have a negative impact on the environment in which the technology is used. For more responsible and sustainable use, the regulation of digital technologies is therefore necessary today. Since the government is taking a very slow response, as the example of the AI Act shows, companies need to take action themselves today. In this context, one of the central questions for companies is: "Which digital technologies are relevant for manufacturing companies in terms of regulation? This paper conducted a quantitative Delphi study to answer this question. The results of the Delphi study are presented and evaluated within the framework of a data analysis. In addition, it will be discussed how to proceed with the results so that manufacturing companies can benefit from them. Furthermore, the paper contributes to the development of an AI platform in the German research project PAIRS by investigating the compliance relevance of artificial intelligence applications.
Mathematical modeling of interaction of wet particles and application to fluidized beds
Creators: name: Darabi, Pirooz
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: In many industrial operations, such as fluidized bed granulators, coaters, and fluid cokers, a binding or reacting liquid is introduced into the system. Due to the effects of liquid, the multi-phase transport phenomena of these systems are more complicated compared to conventional gas-solid fluidization systems. In this thesis, mathematical modeling is used to study the interaction of wet particles. First, a coalescence model is developed to describe the binary collision of wet particles. The model is in the form of a wet coefficient of restitution and is used to determine the critical velocity—the boundary between coalescence or rebound outcomes—for a range of capillary numbers. Model predictions are compared with the available experimental data and good agreement is found. The model accounts for both liquid viscosity and surface tension effects and is used to investigate the boundary between collisions with dominant capillary and respective viscous effects. Then, by incorporating time- and temperature-dependant variations of the viscosity and thickness of the liquid coating, the model is used to determine the agglomeration tendency of bitumen-coated coke particles in fluid cokers. A simplified mathematical model and numerical solution of the Navier-Stokes equations are used to study the rupture of stretching liquid bridges between two solid spherical particles. The simplified model considers the geometry of the problem in which the gas-liquid interface is represented with a parabola. The numerical simulations of the Navier Stokes equations are performed with FLUENT and are used to investigate the viscous, surface tension, inertial, gravitational, and contact angle effects on the rupture distance and liquid distribution. Finally, the interaction of multiple wet particles is addressed by implementing the wet coefficient of restitution proposed in this thesis, using MFIX, an open-source Discrete Element Method (DEM) tool. DEM simulations of a fluidized bed consisting of mono-sized solid spherical particles pre-coated with identical liquid coatings are performed, and the effect of coating viscosity and thickness on the fluidization behaviour is investigated. Snapshots of the instantaneous particle positions are presented, and time-averaged values of the bed centroid in the y-direction, wet coefficient of restitution, and relative normal collision velocity are analyzed.
Thermodynamics of genuine non-equilibrium states under feedback control

description: For genuine non-equilibrium states that even at fixed external control parameter exhibit dissipation, we extend the Hatano-Sasa equality to processes with feedback control. The resulting bound on the maximal extractable work is substantially sharper than what would follow from applying the Sagawa-Ueda equality to transitions involving such states. For repeated measurements at short enough intervals, the power thus extracted can even exceed the average cost of driving as demonstrated explicitly with a simple, analytically solvable example.

description: We investigate the reasons behind the superior performance of belief propagation decoding of non-binary LDPC codes over their binary images when the transmission occurs over the binary erasure channel. We show that although decoding over the binary image has lower complexity, it has worse performance owing to its larger number of stopping sets relative to the original non-binary code. We propose a method to find redundant parity-checks of the binary image that eliminate these additional stopping sets, so that we achieve performance comparable to that of the original non-binary LDPC code with lower decoding complexity.

description: OKR is an approach that focuses on the company's goals through trust-based agreements between leaders and employees. With the OKR framework in its original form, strategic business goals are aligned with the employees' active involvement, which promotes intrinsic motivation, transparency, commitment, and alignment. Inspired by the successes at Google and Intel and shaped by its use in the tech industry, the use of Objectives and Key Results (OKR) increased across industries. Although companies within all sectors use the OKR framework, numerous implementation efforts fail. The challenges of practice are not fully addressed in the development of implementation concepts for OKR. One main reason is that these challenges are not addressed in scientific publications. The paper aims to investigate to what extent existing OKR frameworks need to be adapted to provide companies with implementation guidance. Firstly, OKR is terminologically placed in the context of academically widely discussed Performance Management Systems (PMS). Secondly, criteria for successful PMS implementation are identified and used as a baseline for analysing existing OKR implementation concepts. A systematic literature review shows the current state of research, identifying existing OKR implementation concepts from practice and theory. The OKR implementation concepts identified are systematically mapped to the series of identified criteria for PMS implementation. The result of the paper is that the existing OKR frameworks do not meet the necessary criteria for a successful implementation of PMS, thus the adaptation of existing OKR implementation concepts is required.

description: This document provides a framework for monitoring and evaluation of LOOPER (Learning Loops in the Public Realm) Urban Living Labs established in Brussels, Manchester and Verona. It is intended for use by the researchers and community partners involved in implementing the LOOPER Labs. The focus of monitoring and evaluation within LOOPER is determined by the LOOPER project objectives and the research questions derived from these, while also recognising that emphasis may be placed on different aspects within each Lab. For example, in a ‘hard to reach’ community, questions concerning how to engage local residents may come to the fore. Similarly, depending on the characteristics of Lab participants, different methodologies may be chosen to collect and record evaluation data. Therefore, within the framework outlined and drawing on the methodologies described, each Lab team will choose specific approaches appropriate for their local contexts and describe these in their implementation plans. A Logbook approach is proposed in order to capture the details that may help us to understand the complex processes of engagement and learning that underlie LOOPER. This can be kept in the form of a ‘diary’ or through completion of a series of worksheets. In both cases the same key questions must be addressed. Evaluation tasks and questions are organised within three units of analysis: (1) ‘activities’ (including encounters with citizens/local residents or other stakeholders; data collection activities; and any other activities related to the Lab); (2) ‘stages’ of the Lab cycle (or ‘learning loop’) and of each of the interventions tested in the final stage; and (3) the overall ‘Lab’ at each site and collectively. This deliverable aims to contribute to and/or coordinate with WP2,3,4,5,6,7,8 and corresponding deliverables as follows: D4.1 Implementation handbook for the urban living labs (M4) (UoM) D5.1, D6.1, D7.1 Implementation plans for Brussels, Verona and Manchester Labs (VUB, IUAV, UoM) (M5) Reports from each Lab on all stages D5.4, D6.4, D7.4 Evaluation reports including learning outcomes and policy transfer from Brussels, Verona and Manchester Labs (VUB, IUAV, UoM) (M32) D2.1 Report on data collection procedure framework (M3) (IUAV) D3.1 Guidelines for the co-design of alternative solutions (M4) (VUB) D3.2 Report on the methodology to include hard-to-reach groups (M7) (VUB) D3.3 Report on the specifications for integrating evaluation tools in the LOOPER platform (M10) (VUB) D3.4 Scientific publication on the integration of evaluation tools into the co-creation process (M35) (VUB) D8.1 Learning loop synthesis report and guidelines for the future application of the LOOPER methodology in living labs (M35) (UoM) D8.3 Synthesis for policy makers report (M33) (UoM)

description: Methods for blind source separation based only on general properties such as source independence encounter difficulties when the degree of overlap and/or the dimensionality of the observations make the blind inference problem unresolvable. Such situations require additional constraints on the form of the individual sources, motivating the development of models able to capture in detail the consistency and variability of a single source's sound. With single-chain HMMs this requires a very large number of states, making the models marginally practical. Here we present two approaches to factorize the variability in detailed models. First is a coupled subband model, where each source signal is broken into multiple frequency bands, and separate but coupled HMMs are built for each band requiring many fewer states per model. In order to avoid the unnatural state combinations that would arise from independent models for each band, we couple adjacent bands resulting in a grid-like model for the full spectrum. Exact inference of such a model is intractable, but we have derived an efficient approximation based on variational methods.

description: Innovation is one of the key drivers of growth, development, and profitability, which increases competitive advantages and has recently been moving towards industry 4.0 technologically. This motivates companies to update their business models (BM) towards industry 4.0. Moreover, there is a technique with the primary characteristics for achieving this motivation called "cross-industry innovation". Cross-industry innovation is a new method of innovation that concerns the creative translation and imitation of existing solutions from other industries for responding to the needs of the current market, sectors, areas, or domains. The challenge is to find out how far managers can rely on that to innovate their BM towards Industry 4.0. The aim of this study was to investigate the application of cross-industry innovation for designing industry 4.0 BM and explore the extent to which companies can rely on it as it has not been used for this purpose previously. This study utilized a database analysis to compare cross-industry innovation practices with industry 4.0 BM's characteristics in terms of value proposition, value creation, and value capture levels. In addition, some interviews were conducted with companies that had previously implemented cross-industry innovation to validate and generalize the results. The results indicated that cross-industry innovation practices can better fulfill flexible and dynamic networks, connected information flows, high efficiency, high scalability, and high availability in terms of value creation as well as variabilization of prices and costs in terms of value capture. Therefore, it demonstrated that cross-industry innovation was a more dependable and applicable strategy for designing the BM of Industry 4.0 than current practices.

description: Training a 3D model classifier on a small dataset is very challenging. However, large datasets of partially classified models are now commonly available online. We use an external training set of models with associated text tags to automatically assign tags to both training and query models. The similarity between these tags, used in conjunction with a standard shape descriptor, yields a multiclassifier that outperforms the standalone shape descriptor.

description: Performing business processes are a critical asset for manufacturing companies operating on highly competitive markets. Conventional approaches to business process improvement, however, are vulnerable to subjectivity and high manual efforts in their execution. These challenges can be overcome with recent databased approaches that semi-automate process analysis and design. Those approaches formalize methodical knowledge on weakness detection, measure derivation and performance evaluation for business processes into a performance-related decision support. By enabling the databased automation of these tasks this formalization helps to reduce efforts and subjectivity in process analysis and design. However, practice lacks a procedure for applying this decision support in operative business process improvement. Moreover, this decision support only formalises methodological knowledge. Operative business process improvement in practice additionally requires the consideration of experts' contextual knowledge about the company and the business process itself. This paper presents a hybrid approach for the analysis and design of business processes using a databased decision support. First, existing phase models for business process improvement are consolidated into a reference model. Second, an expert-based assessment is conducted on how decision support extends, modifies or eliminates the conventional tasks of process analysis and design. In the third step, a hybrid phase model for process analysis and design is developed that integrates the formalised methodological knowledge of the decision support and contextual knowledge of experts.
