description: With the climate crisis progressing, the demand for scientific evidence from Climate Risk and Vulnerability Assessments (CRVA) has increased significantly in the last decade. Impact Chain-based CRVA (IC-based CRVA), an assessment method detailed in the Vulnerability Sourcebook, is capable of producing scientifically robust and actionable results that regularly find their way into decision-making. The method focuses on disentangling climate risk drivers within complex socio-ecological systems in a participatory and data-driven manner. Past applications have shown both methodological strengths and weaknesses and have revealed possible new application fields in research and policy. This article discusses a) advancements of the methodological toolset used in IC-based CRVA, and b) new application fields. The methodological advancements suggested herein are based on insights gained through eleven case studies set across Europe in different sectors during the course of the research project UNCHAIN. We propose advancements in the stakeholder engagement process, including methods to capture dynamics between risk factors, resolve contradictory worldviews of participants, uncover hidden vulnerabilities, use scenario-planning techniques, and retain consistency between Impact Chains across policy scales. Advances in the data-driven, operational modules include the integration of uncertainties via Probability Density Functions, using Reverse Geometric Aggregation to account for extreme risk factors and integrating macro-economic models to reflect possible future socio-economic exposure. Furthermore, we examine IC-based CRVAs’ applicability to address transboundary climate risks and climate risks for industry stakeholders. We conclude that the modular structure of IC-based CRVA permitted integrating various methodological advancements from different scientific disciplines and that, even after a decade in use, the method still offers possibilities to further its potential to understand and assess complex climate risks.
On the Ledrappier-Young formula for self-affine measures

description: Ledrappier and Young introduced a relation between entropy, Lyapunov exponents and dimension for invariant measures of diffeomorphisms on compact manifolds. In this paper, we show that a self-affine measure on the plane satisfies the Ledrappier-Young formula if the corresponding iterated function system (IFS) satisfies the strong separation condition and the linear parts satisfy the dominated splitting condition. We give sufficient conditions, inspired by Ledrappier and by Falconer and Kempton, that the dimensions of such a self-affine measure is equal to the Lyapunov dimension. We show some applications, namely, we give another proof for Hueter-Lalley's theorem and we consider self-affine measures and sets generated by lower triangular matrices.

description: We present a linear-optical scheme for a controlled-phase gate with tunable phase shift programmed by a qubit state. In contrast to all previous tunable controlled-phase gates, the phase shift is not hard-coded into the optical setup, but can be tuned to any value from 0 to pi by the state of a so-called program qubit. Our setup is feasible with current level of technology using only linear-optical components. We provide an experimental feasibility study to assess the gate's implementability. We also discuss options for increasing the success probability up to 1/12 which approaches the success probability of a optimal non-programmable tunable controlled-phase gate.

description: BACKGROUND Second-generation (atypical) antipsychotic drugs are widely used to treat psychosis, aggression, and agitation in patients with Alzheimer's disease, but their benefits are uncertain and concerns about safety have emerged. We assessed the effectiveness of atypical antipsychotic drugs in outpatients with Alzheimer's disease. METHODS In this 42-site, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, 421 outpatients with Alzheimer's disease and psychosis, aggression, or agitation were randomly assigned to receive olanzapine (mean dose, 5.5 mg per day), quetiapine (mean dose, 56.5 mg per day), risperidone (mean dose, 1.0 mg per day), or placebo. Doses were adjusted as needed, and patients were followed for up to 36 weeks. The main outcomes were the time from initial treatment to the discontinuation of treatment for any reason and the number of patients with at least minimal improvement on the Clinical Global Impression of Change (CGIC) scale at 12 weeks. RESULTS There were no significant differences among treatments with regard to the time to the discontinuation of treatment for any reason: olanzapine (median, 8.1 weeks), quetiapine (median, 5.3 weeks), risperidone (median, 7.4 weeks), and placebo (median, 8.0 weeks) (P=0.52). The median time to the discontinuation of treatment due to a lack of efficacy favored olanzapine (22.1 weeks) and risperidone (26.7 weeks) as compared with quetiapine (9.1 weeks) and placebo (9.0 weeks) (P=0.002). The time to the discontinuation of treatment due to adverse events or intolerability favored placebo. Overall, 24% of patients who received olanzapine, 16% of patients who received quetiapine, 18% of patients who received risperidone, and 5% of patients who received placebo discontinued their assigned treatment owing to intolerability (P=0.009). No significant differences were noted among the groups with regard to improvement on the CGIC scale. Improvement was observed in 32% of patients assigned to olanzapine, 26% of patients assigned to quetiapine, 29% of patients assigned to risperidone, and 21% of patients assigned to placebo (P=0.22). CONCLUSIONS Adverse effects offset advantages in the efficacy of atypical antipsychotic drugs for the treatment of psychosis, aggression, or agitation in patients with Alzheimer's disease.

description: Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis accounts for approximately 20% of cases of the nephrotic syndrome in children and 40% of such cases in adults, with an estimated incidence of 7 per 1 million.(1) It is the most common primary glomerular disorder causing end-stage renal disease in the United States, with a prevalence of 4%.(2) The cardinal feature is progressive glomerular scarring. Early in the disease course, glomerulosclerosis is both focal, involving a minority of glomeruli, and segmental, affecting a portion of the glomerular globe. With progression, more widespread and global glomerulosclerosis develops. Since the first clinical-pathological studies of the disease in the 1970s,(3) there has been renewed interest because of the increasing incidence of the disease,(4) better understanding of causation, and identification of the podocyte as the major cellular target.(5) The discovery that mutations in podocyte genes are associated with genetic focal segmental glomerulosclerosis has advanced the field of podocyte biology and stimulated new approaches to diagnosis and management.(6)

description: Figure S1. As a reference for our CO2 -flight arena system, we ran the same experiments using the model insect, Drosophila melanogaster. We ran trials with an adjusted CO2 treatment where we closed the valve 5 seconds after starting the experiment and left the air open at 0.5 SCFH. After two minutes, the CO2 levels dropped by 40-60% (e.g. if the initial value was 2600 ppm, 2 min later it measured ~1610 ppm). These low CO2 plumes enhanced fruit fly flight performance for all contrast gratings greater than 0.33 compared to air alone (Figure S1A). When CO2 was delivered at the same rate as we used for mosquitoes ( 2200-2800 ppm), Drosophila tracking during star-field optical flow as well as bar was strongly reduced (air n=11, CO2 n=15, p<0.001, Figure S1B,C).
Imperfect Mimicry and the Limits of Natural Selection

description: Mimicry—when one organism (the mimic) evolves a phenotypic resemblance to another (the model) due to selective benefits—is widely used to illustrate natural selection’s power to generate adaptations. However, many putative mimics resemble their models imprecisely, and such imperfect mimicry represents a specific challenge to mimicry theory and a general one to evolutionary theory. Here, we discuss 11 nonmutually exclusive hypotheses for imperfect mimicry. We group these hypotheses according to whether imperfect mimicry reflects: an artifact of human perception, which is not shared by any naturally occurring predators and therefore is not truly an instance of imperfect mimicry; genetic, developmental, or time-lag constraints, which (temporarily) prevent a response to selection for perfect mimicry; relaxed selection, where imperfect mimicry is as adaptive as perfect mimicry; or tradeoffs, where imperfect mimicry is (locally) more adaptive than perfect mimicry. We find that the relaxed selection hypothesis has garnered the most support. However, because only a few study systems have thus far been comprehensively evaluated, the relative contributions of the various hypotheses toward explaining the evolution of imperfect mimicry remain unclear. Ultimately, clarifying why imperfect mimicry exists should provide critical insights into the limits of natural selection in producing complex adaptations.

Do Economics Departments with lower Tenure Probabilities pay Higher Faculty Salaries?
Creators: name: Ehrenberg, Ronald

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1998

description: The simplest competitive labor market model asserts that if tenure is a desirable job characteristic for professors, they should be willing to pay for it by accepting lower salaries. Conversely, if an institution unilaterally reduces the probability that its assistant professors receive tenure, it will have to pay higher salaries to attract new faculty. Our paper tests this theory using data on salary offers accepted by new assistant professors at economics departments in the United States during the 1974-75 to 1980-81 period, along with data on the proportion of new Ph.D.s hired by each department between 1970 and 1980 that received tenure in the department or at a comparable or higher quality department within the first eight years of receipt of their Ph.D.s. We find evidence that supports the hypothesis that a tradeoff existed. Equally importantly, departments that offered low tenure probabilities to assistant professors also paid higher salaries to their tenured faculty. We attribute this to low tenure probabilities inducing higher effort from assistant professors and thus leading to higher productivity of faculty ultimately promoted to tenure. © 1998 by the President and Fellows of Harvard College and the Massachusetts Institute of Technolog
The Supply of Quality in Child Care Centers

description: We use data from a sample of child care centers to estimate the relationships between cost and child care quality, and between revenue and quality. We use a measure of child care quality, designed by developmental psychologists, that is positively associated with child development. Taking the estimated cost-quality and revenue-quality relationships as given, we estimate the objective functions of firms and compute the quality supply function. The results indicate that the supply of quality is moderately elastic with respect to price and the wages of child care center workers. Implications of the results for child care policy are discussed. © 2002 by the President and Fellows of Harvard College and the Massachusetts Institute of Technolog

description: The design, characterization and applications of a novel charge integrating pulsed current-voltage I(V) measurement are described. Tunneling transport through thin metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) capacitors is measured over ten orders of magnitude of current. Short pulse widths (<j s), allow electrical characterization of these films under high current densities, without significant charge injection. A study of the quantum interference of electrons during Fowler-Nordheim (FN) conduction, is used to illustrate the measurement.

description: This thesis was prepared during the academic year 2022-2023. The purpose of the thesis is to investigate the porosity in a geological structure created through laser engraving. More specifically, chapter 1 presents introductory topics. The connection of laser uses and its offers to an accurate way of transferring digital porous models to physical samples is demonstrated. In chapter 2 a complete historical review of the operating principles of the laser and the types that have been invented throughout time is carried out. An importance reference is also made to the equipment machines used in this diploma. In chapter 3 there is a thorough training on the laser machine and the systems that are included so that the user becomes familiar with its operation. Chapter 4 focuses on the design and implementation of the experiment for the results of the geological structure, while an in-depth look at the design methodology of the geological structures is made. In the last chapter we will present the conclusions obtained from the results of the engraving and the experimental process of the pores.

description: We develop a Boltzmann-Langevin description of Coulomb drag effect in clean double-layer systems with large interlayer separation $d$ as compared to the average interelectron distance $λ_F$. Coulomb drag arises from density fluctuations with spatial scales of order $d$. At low temperatures, their characteristic frequencies exceed the intralayer equilibration rate of the electron liquid, and Coulomb drag may be treated in the collisionless approximation. As temperature is raised, the electron mean free path becomes short due to electron-electron scattering. This leads to local equilibration of electron liquid, and consequently drag is determined by hydrodynamic density modes. Our theory applies to both the collisionless and the hydrodynamic regimes, and it enables us to describe the crossover between them. We find that drag resistivity exhibits a nonmonotonic temperature dependence with multiple crossovers at distinct energy scales. At the lowest temperatures, Coulomb drag is dominated by the particle-hole continuum, whereas at higher temperatures of the collision-dominated regime it is governed by the plasmon modes. We observe that fast intralayer equilibration mediated by electron-electron collisions ultimately renders a stronger drag effect.

description: Obesity is a risk factor for cardio-metabolic and neurological disease. The contribution of gut microbiota to derangements of the gut-brain axis in the context of obesity has been acknowledged, particularly through physiology modulation by short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). Thus, probiotic interventions and administration of SCFAs have been employed with the purpose of alleviating symptoms in both metabolic and neurological disease. We investigated the effects of four butyrate-producing bacteria from the Lachnospiraceae family on the development of metabolic syndrome and behavioural alterations in a mouse model of diet-induced obesity. Male mice were fed either a high-fat diet (HFD) or an ingredient-matched control diet for 2 months, and bacteria cultures or culture medium were given by gavage to HFD-fed mice every second day. Mice were assessed through a battery of metabolic and behaviour tests, and fluxes through the gut barrier and blood-brain barrier were determined using Dextran-based tracers. One of the administered bacteria from the Coprococcus genus, which produces butyrate and formate, afforded some degree of protection against the development of obesity and its complications. Results from this study, however, are insufficient to support brain health benefits of the bacteria tested. None of the bacteria modulated permeability through the gut or blood-brain barriers. Our results suggest health benefits of a bacteria from Lachnospiraceae family, and encourage further exploration of its use as probiotic.

description: The case study aims to assess the risk of agricultural drought in the province of Salzburg. The study utilizes various methods such as impact chains, stakeholder dialogues, workshops, and a quantitative risk assessment that co-develops the drivers of drought and adapts accordingly. The study applies causal loop diagrams, integrates systems modelling approaches, and uses a spatial regionalization approach that is independent of administrative boundaries. The study is at the beginning of adaptation planning and focuses on gathering qualitative data through stakeholder interactions and quantitative data from open government data portals. The expected results are spatial risk maps, insights on stakeholder consultation, and an improved methodology of impact chains. The case study takes into consideration various stakeholders including governmental institutions, farmer associations, farmers, insurance representatives, and scientists. The objective is to assess the drought risk in the municipality of Salzburg by taking into account not just the negative water balance but also procedural, financial, political and environmental aspects. The results are intended to raise awareness among the stakeholders and provide a holistic perspective on the risk aspects. The assessment focuses on the future risk and assesses if the probability of dry and wet years will increase between 2021-2050 and 2071-2100 compared to 1981-2010.

description: Combining techniques of cavity quantum electrodynamics, quantum measurement, and quantum feedback, we have realized the heralded transfer of a polarization qubit from a photon onto a single atom with 39% efficiency and 86% fidelity. The reverse process, namely, qubit transfer from the atom onto a given photon, is demonstrated with 88% fidelity and an estimated efficiency of up to 69%. In contrast to previous work based on two-photon interference, our scheme is robust against photon arrival-time jitter and achieves much higher efficiencies. Thus, it constitutes a key step toward the implementation of a long-distance quantum network.

A blind method to detrend instrumental systematics in exoplanetary light-curves
Creators: name: Morello, Giuseppe
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Earth and Planetary Astrophysics (astro-ph.EP)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The study of the atmospheres of transiting exoplanets requires a photometric precision, and repeatability, of one part in $\sim 10^4$. This is beyond the original calibration plans of current observatories, hence the necessity to disentangle the instrumental systematics from the astrophysical signals in raw datasets. Most methods used in the literature are based on an approximate instrument model. The choice of parameters of the model and their functional forms can sometimes be subjective, causing controversies in the literature. Recently, Morello et al. (2014, 2015) have developed a non-parametric detrending method that gave coherent and repeatable results when applied to Spitzer/IRAC datasets that were debated in the literature. Said method is based on Independent Component Analysis (ICA) of individual pixel time-series, hereafter "pixel-ICA". The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the limits and advantages of pixel-ICA on a series of simulated datasets with different instrument properties, and a range of jitter timescales and shapes, non-stationarity, sudden change points, etc. The performances of pixel-ICA are compared against the ones of other methods, in particular polynomial centroid division (PCD), and pixel-level decorrelation (PLD) method (Deming et al. 2014). We find that in simulated cases pixel-ICA performs as well or better than other methods, and it also guarantees a higher degree of objectivity, because of its purely statistical foundation with no prior information on the instrument systematics. The results of this paper, together with previous analyses of Spitzer/IRAC datasets, suggest that photometric precision and repeatability of one part in $10^4$ can be achieved with current infrared space instruments.

title: The BeamEDM experiment and the measurement of the neutron incoherent scattering length of 199Hg
Creators: name: Chanel, Estelle Ghislaine Amélie
Publisher: name: Universität Bern
Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: 530 Physics

description: BeamEDM is a proof-of-principle apparatus to search for a neutron electric dipole moment using a cold neutron beam with a combined Ramsey and time-of-flight technique. Employing a time-of-flight is essential, as it allows to distinguish the v × E systematic effect from an electric dipole moment signal. To date, four beamtimes have been performed both at the Paul Scherrer Institute in Switzerland and at the Institute Laue-Langevin in France. The first part of this thesis presents the development of the apparatus and the measurements performed over the different beamtimes. 
The nEDM experiment at the Paul Scherrer Institute uses ultra-cold neutrons to measure an electric dipole moment. It requires the use of a mercury co-magnetometer to monitor the magnetic field that the ultra-cold neutrons are probing. Both species can interact with each other via the neutron incoherent scattering length of mercury. This interaction takes the form of a shift in the neutron precession frequency whose sign depends on the mercury atoms' polarization. As the sign of the incoherent scattering length is unknown, the induced shift could be the cause of a systematic effect in the case of a neutron electric dipole measurement. The second part of this thesis details the apparatus, measurement, analysis, and result that has determined the sign of the incoherent scattering length of 199 Hg.
The Diamond Laplace for polygonal and polyhedral meshes

description: We introduce a construction for discrete gradient operators that can be directly applied to arbitrary polygonal surface as well as polyhedral volume meshes. The main idea is to associate the gradient of functions defined at vertices of the mesh with diamonds: the region spanned by a dual edge together with its corresponding primal element — an edge for surface meshes and a face for volumetric meshes. We call the operator resulting from taking the divergence of the gradient Diamond Laplacian. Additional vertices used for the construction are represented as affine combinations of the original vertices, so that the Laplacian operator maps from values at vertices to values at vertices, as is common in geometry processing applications. The construction is local, exactly the same for all types of meshes, and results in a symmetric negative definite operator with linear precision. We show that the accuracy of the Diamond Laplacian is similar or better compared to other discretizations. The greater versatility and generally good behavior come at the expense of an increase in the number of non-zero coefficients that depends on the degree of the mesh elements.

Weaponised Pluralism: Why Hindu Nationalists Need Muslim Friends
Creators: name: Pal, Felix
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2022

description: This dissertation seeks to answer the question, why do bigots act like pluralists? It examines the Muslim wing of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), the apex organisation of the violent Hindu nationalist movement, to understand why exclusivist ethno-religious organisations in democracies choreograph performances of minority inclusion, engagement and mixture. This thesis concludes that they do so as one solution to the political problem of appealing to potential pluralist supports while not alienating core bigoted constituencies. Indeed, not only do such pluralist performances not alienate bigots, counterintuitively, they appeal to them. Pluralist performances appeal to bigots through three key mechanisms: rituals of subservience dressed as intergroup engagement, the categorisation of Good and Bad minority members, and the co-optation of minority members into positions of symbolically significant power. Drawing on interview-based fieldwork conducted in India in 2018-19, primary source material from the RSS' Muslim wing, and participant observation of this Muslim wing's events, this thesis proposes the concept of weaponised pluralism, a political strategy where pluralist performances counterintuitively reinforce, rather than resolve, ethnic and religious hierarchies.
