description: EU citizens have rights when living in a member state other than their own. Bureaucratic discrimination undermines the operation of these rights. We go beyond extant research on bureaucratic discrimination in two ways. First, we move beyond considering mobile EU citizens as homogenous immigrant minority to assess whether EU citizens from certain countries face greater discrimination than others. Second, we analyse whether discrimination patterns vary between the general population and public administrators regarding attributes triggering discrimination and whether accountability prevents discrimination. In a pre-registered design, we conduct a population-based conjoint experiment in Germany including a sub-sample of public administrators. We find that (1) Dutch and fluent German speakers are preferred, i.e., positively discriminated, over Romanians and EU citizens with broken language skills, that (2) our way of holding people accountable was ineffective, and that (3) in all these regards discriminatory behaviour of public administrators is similar to behaviour of the general population.

description: BACKGROUND
Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG) presents a significant clinical challenge due to its inoperable nature and poor response to current treatments. Sonodynamic Therapy (SDT) is a non-invasive therapy that combines low-intensity ultrasound stimulation with a sonosensitizing agent. 5-Aminolevulinic Acid (5-ALA) as a sonosensitizer has yielded positive outcomes in in-vivo glioblastoma models, and a clinical trial (NCT05123534) for DIPG patients is currently ongoing. 5-ALA is a precursor of Protoporphyrin IX (PpIX), which preferentially accumulates in cancer cells and generates cytotoxic reactive oxygen species upon activation by ultrasound or light. Our work is aimed at investigating the accumulation of PpIX in in-vitro DIPG patient-derived cell models to predict the efficacy of 5-ALA SDT treatment.

METHODS
Patient derived DIPG cell lines (H3K27M, P53 mutant and wild type) were used to create three-dimensional spheroids. The spheroids were dosed with 5-ALA for 4 hours, and PpIX accumulation was quantified by measuring its fluorescence intensity within the cells. The spheroids were then exposed to controlled light stimulation as an in-vitro proxy for SDT.

RESULTS
We confirmed the uptake of 5-ALA and subsequent PpIX accumulation in all patient-derived DIPG spheroids. Light exposure of 5-ALA treated DIPG spheroids resulted in reduced viability of the tumor models, while 5-ALA itself did not show cytotoxic effects. The extent of PpIX accumulation and cytotoxicity upon PpIX light activation varied among DIPG models with higher sensitivity of p53 wild type cells. Further studies incorporating a larger number of DMG cells with p53 alterations are underway.

CONCLUSIONS
These findings indicate that SDT using 5-ALA as sonosensitizer may offer clinical benefits for treatment of DIPG, however treatment efficacy could vary considerably between patients. In vitro evaluation of PpIX accumulation and sensitivity to activation could potentially provide a means to stratify patients and to identify those most likely to benefit from 5-ALA-mediated SDT.

Harmonic coordinate method for simulating generic singularities
Creators: name: Garfinkle, David
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: This paper presents both a numerical method for general relativity and an application of that method. The method involves the use of harmonic coordinates in a 3+1 code to evolve the Einstein equations with scalar field matter. In such coordinates, the terms in Einstein's equations with the highest number of derivatives take a form similar to that of the wave equation. The application is an exploration of the generic approach to the singularity for this type of matter. The preliminary results indicate that the dynamics as one approaches the singularity is locally the dynamics of the Kasner spacetimes.

description: We used molecular dynamics simulations based on a potential model in analogy to the Tight Binding scheme in the Second Moment Approximation to simulate the effects of aluminum icosahedral grains (dispersoids) on the structure and the mechanical properties of an aluminum matrix. First we validated our model by calculating several thermodynamic properties referring to the bulk Al case and we found good agreement with available experimental and theoretical data. Afterwards, we simulated Al systems containing Al clusters of various sizes. We found that the structure of the Al matrix is affected by the presence of the dispersoids resulting in well ordered domains of different symmetries that were identified using suitable Voronoi analysis. In addition, we found that the increase of the grain size has negative effect on the mechanical properties of the nanocomposite as manifested by the lowering of the calculated bulk moduli. The obtained results are in line with available experimental data.

description: Magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) shocks are violent events that inject large amounts of energy in the interstellar medium (ISM) dramatically modifying its physical properties and chemical composition. Indirect evidence for the presence of such shocks has been reported from the especial chemistry detected toward a variety of astrophysical shocked environments. However, the internal physical structure of these shocks remains unresolved since their expected spatial scales are too small to be measured with current instrumentation. Here we report the first detection of a fully spatially resolved, MHD shock toward the Infrared Dark Cloud (IRDC) G034.77-00.55. The shock, probed by Silicon Monoxide (SiO) and observed with the Atacama Large Millimetre/sub-millimetre Array (ALMA), is associated with the collision between the dense molecular gas of the cloud and a molecular gas flow pushed toward the IRDC by the nearby supernova remnant (SNR) W44. The interaction is occurring on sub-parsec spatial scales thanks to the enhanced magnetic field of the SNR, making the dissipation region of the MHD shock large enough to be resolved with ALMA. Our observations suggest that molecular flow-flow collisions can be triggered by stellar feedback, inducing shocked molecular gas densities compatible with those required for massive star formation.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.

description: This paper introduces the key concepts, applications, and potential of the ROS 2 Healthcare (ROS2HC) framework. In ROS2HC, the objective is to close the loop between robotic interventions and physiological human sensing for social, as sistive, rehabilitation, and medical robotics. To that end, we present a set of standard interfaces for common wearable sensors used by patients at home, or within lab or clinical settings. This comes together with an initial set of sensor drivers in ROS 2. ROS2HC is a comprehensive framework pushing the integration of robots working alongside humans through sensing and estimating physiological, emotional, and physical signals and states, with ready-to-use deep learning algorithms as ROS 2 nodes and extendable templates. With ROS2HC, we bridge wearable and external sensors for human condition monitoring, with both traditional and non-traditional robots: from social robots and manipulators in healthcare, to robotic wheelchairs, robotic beds or robotized therapy instruments and tools such as treadmills or walking aids. Importantly, we provide additional tooling for data logging and visualization. In contrast to typical frameworks based on ROS, a subset of the visualization tools is aimed at clinicians, therapists, and end-users, in addition to the standard debugging tools for robotic and AI developers.

description: This article aims to discuss the academic renewed interest on films set in a cinematic interpretation of the past. Separating fiction from truth should not be the first real purpose for ancient historians; furthermore scholars ought to commit to these studies without any disdain or patronizing superiority. Then, the author tries to examine the function played by the image of Rome in these movies, and the broad range of meanings shared by the representations of the city. Finally, the author analyses the evolutions in conceptualizing the eternity of Rome and the deep changes noticeable in many films from this point of view through the ages.

description:  This study analyzes work-life balance initiatives at Datasack Solutions, Karur. The research explores various factors influencing work-life balance, including workload distribution, working hours, job stress, and the organization's support systems. A descriptive research design was employed, with data gathered from 150 employees through surveys and interviews. The findings indicate that long working hours and high job stress are significant barriers to achieving work-life balance, while flexible work schedules, remote work options, and supportive management policies significantly contribute to improving employee satisfaction. The study also reveals a positive relationship between work-life balance initiatives and increased job satisfaction, employee engagement, and overall productivity. Recommendations for Datasack Solutions include the adoption of more flexible working hours, improving leave policies, and introducing wellness programs to enhance employee well-being, retention, and performance. The research highlights the importance of regularly evaluating and updating work-life balance initiatives to ensure they align with employee needs and foster a positive workplace culture.

description: This study investigated the impact of compost amendment on fungal structure of the replanted apple orchard in comparison with the original orchard without compost improvement. The V4 region of the fungal 18S rRNA gene was sequenced using high-throughput 454 pyrosequencing, and the data were analyzed using the Mothur pipeline. The results showed that the compost amendment modified the fungal community structure at all soil depths (0–20 and 20–40 cm) and sites (in-row and inter-row) considered, such as the relative abundances of Vampyrellidae (16.2%), Trichocomaceae (14.2%) and Rhizaspididae (2.5%) were increased while that of Glissomonadida (15.4%), Eugregarinorida (4.0%) and Thecofilosea (3.4%) were decreased. Overall, our findings show that compost amendment altered the fungal community compositions in replanted orchard soil.

description: Patients with liver cirrhosis have high mortality, often estimated by the Child–Pugh or MELD scores. Etiologies of cirrhosis are rapidly shifting, and it is unclear if these scores perform similarly across subgroups of patients. Here, we describe the characteristics and outcomes of a large contemporary cohort of patients with cirrhosis. This was a cohort study with retrospectively collected data. All patients with a verified diagnosis of cirrhosis during 2004–2017 at the Karolinska University Hospital, Sweden, were identified. Data at baseline to calculate Child–Pugh, MELD and confounders for mortality was collected. Competing risk regression was used to estimate risk for outcomes, adjusted for age, sex, baseline Child–Pugh score, etiology of cirrhosis and type 2 diabetes. We identified 2609 patients, with a median age of 61 years, and 68% men. Etiologies of cirrhosis shifted during the study period, with a −29% relative decrease in hepatitis C-cirrhosis and a + 154% increase in cirrhosis due to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. The highest overall mortality was seen in patients with alcohol-related cirrhosis. MELD and Child–Pugh scores predicted 3-month and 1 to 2-year mortality reasonably well, but with a lower predictive performance in alcohol-related cirrhosis. Men were more likely than women to receive a liver transplant (sHR = 1.39, 95%CI = 1.08–1.78). We confirm previous findings of a rapid shift in the etiologies of cirrhosis. Differences in sex in regard to access to liver transplantation deserve further attention.

description: A silicon-tungsten (Si-W) sampling calorimeter, consisting of 19 alternate layers of silicon pad detectors (individual pad area of 1~cm$^2$) and tungsten absorbers (each of one radiation length), has been constructed for measurement of electromagnetic showers over a large energy range. The signal from each of the silicon pads is readout using an ASIC with a dynamic range from $-300$~fC to $+500$~fC. Another ASIC with a larger dynamic range, $\pm 600$~fC has been used as a test study. The calorimeter was exposed to pion and electron beams at the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) to characterise the response to minimum ionising particles (MIP) and showers from electromagnetic (EM) interactions. Pion beams of 120 GeV provided baseline measurements towards the understanding of the MIP behaviour in the silicon pad layers, while electron beams of energy from 5 GeV to 60 GeV rendered detailed shower profiles within the calorimeter. The energy deposition in each layer, the longitudinal shower profile, and the total energy deposition have been measured for each incident electron energy. Linear behaviour of the total measured energy ($E$) with that of the incident particle energy ($E_{0}$) ensured satisfactory calorimetric performance. For a subset of the data sample, selected based on the cluster position of the electromagnetic shower of the incident electron, the dependence of the measured energy resolution on $E_{0}$ has been found to be $σ/E = (15.36/\sqrt{E_0(\mathrm{GeV)}} \oplus 2.0) \%$.

description: We demonstrate a platform for phase and amplitude modulation in silicon nitride photonic integrated circuits via piezo-optomechanical coupling using tightly mechanically coupled aluminum nitride actuators. The platform, fabricated in a CMOS foundry, enables scalable active photonic integrated circuits for visible wavelengths, and the piezoelectric actuation functions without performance degradation down to cryogenic temperatures. As an example of the potential of the platform, we demonstrate a compact (~40 μm diameter) silicon nitride ring resonator modulator operating at 780 nm with intrinsic quality factors in excess of 1.5 million, >10 dB change in extinction ratio with 2 V applied, a switching time less than 4 ns, and a switching energy of 0.5 pJ/bit. We characterize the exemplary device at room temperature and 7 K. At 7 K, the device obtains a resistance of approximately 20 Teraohms, allowing it to operate with sub-picowatt electrical power dissipation. We further demonstrate a Mach-Zehnder modulator constructed in the same platform with piezoelectrically tunable phase shifting arms, with 750 ns switching time constant and 20 nW steady-state power dissipation at room temperature.

description: We explore the influence of the deformation on the nuclear matrix elements of the neutrinoless double beta decay (NME), concluding that the difference in deformation -or more generally in the amount of quadrupole correlations- between parent and grand daughter nuclei quenches strongly the decay. We correlate these differences with the seniority structure of the nuclear wave functions. In this context, we examine the present discrepancies between the NME's obtained in the framework of the Interacting Shell Model and the Quasiparticle RPA. In our view, part of the discrepancy can be due to the limitations of the spherical QRPA in treating nuclei which have strong quadrupole correlations. We surmise that the NME's in a basis of generalized seniority are approximately model independent, i. e. they are "universal".

description: Performing stimulation experiments at approximately 1 km depth in the Bedretto Underground Laboratory for Geosciences and Geoenergies necessitates identifying and characterizing the target fault zone for on-fault monitoring of induced fault-slip and seismicity, a current challenge in understanding seismogenic processes. We discuss the multidisciplinary approach for selecting the target fault zone for the experiments planned within the Fault Activation and Earthquake Ruptures (FEAR) project, aiming to induce fault-slip and seismicity up to a magnitude 1.0 earthquake while enhancing monitoring and control of fluid-injection experiments.

Structural geological mapping, remote sensing, exploration drilling and borehole logging, ground-penetration radar, and laboratory investigations were employed to identify and characterize the target fault – a ductile-brittle shear zone several meters wide with intensely fractured volume persisting over 100 m. Its orientation in the in-situ stress field favors reactivation in normal to strike-slip regimes. Laboratory tests showed slight velocity strengthening of the fault gouge. The fault's architecture, typical for crystalline environments, poses challenges for fluid flow, necessitating detailed hydraulic and stress characterization before each of the FEAR experiments. This multidisciplinary approach was crucial for managing rock volume heterogeneity and understand implications for the dense monitoring network. Successfully identifying the fault sets the stage for seismic activation experiments commencing in spring 2024.

description: Efficacy of polyacrylamide (PAM), a water-soluble soil conditioner, prepared with poor-quality water (low salinity, higher sodicity) commonly available to farm managers, is unknown. We studied the effects of treating aggregates of four soils with predominant smectitic or kaolinitic clay mineralogy with PAM solution prepared with poor-quality water (low salinity and high sodicity). Impact of PAM on pore size distribution (PSD) and structure stability of the soils and the relations between the stability indices obtained were studied from water retention curves derived at low suction (0–50 hPa). The retention curves were characterized by a modified van Genuchten model that yields (i) the model parameters α and n and (ii) a soil structure index (SI). Applying PAM modified the water retention curve shape, mostly in the smectite soils, and increased α and improved SI up to 3.3 and 1.7 times in the smectitic and kaolinitic soils, respectively, relative to the control. An observed exponential relationship between soil SI and parameter ɑ allowed predicting the effects of PAM addition on soil structure stability. The noted improvement in structure stability was comparable with results for conditions where PAM solution was prepared with good-quality water. Abbreviations: PAM, polyacrylamide; SAR, sodium adsorption ratio; EC, electrical conductivity; HEMC, high-energy moisture characteristic; VDP, volume of drainable pores; MS, modal suction; SI, structural index; PSD, pore size distribution.

description: A cosmological model based on Kaluza-Klein theory is studied. A metric, in which the scale factor of the compact space evolves as an inverse power of the radius of the observable universe, is constructed. The Freedmann-Robertson-Walker equations of standard four-dimensional cosmology are obtained precisely. The pressure in our universe is an effective pressure expressed in terms of the components of the higher dimensional energy-momentum tensor. In particular, this effective pressure could be negative and might therefore explain the acceleration of our present universe. A special feature of this model is that, for a suitable choice of the parameters of the metric, the higher dimensional gravitational coupling constant could be negative.

description: To determine the epoch of reionization precisely and to reveal the property of inhomogeneous reionization are some of the most important topics of modern cosmology. Existing methods to investigate reionization which use cosmic microwave background, Ly$α$ emitters, quasars, or gamma ray bursts, have difficulties in terms of accuracy or event rate. We propose that recently discovered fast luminous blue transients (FLBTs) have a potential as a novel probe of reionization. We study the detectability of FLBTs at the epoch of reionization with upcoming WFIRST Wide-Field Instruments (WFI), using a star formation rate derived from galaxy observations and an event rate of FLBTs proportional to the star formation rate. We find that if FLBTs occur at a rate of 1\% of the core-collapse supernova rate, 2 (0.3) FLBTs per year per deg$^2$ at $z>6$ ($z>8$) can be detected by a survey with a limiting magnitude of 26.5 mag in the near-infrared band and a cadence of 10 days. We conclude that the WFIRST supernova deep survey can detect $\sim20$ FLBTs at the epoch of reionization in the near future.

Spectroscopic follow-up of FIRBACK-South-Marano bright galaxies

description: We present optical spectroscopy of the brightest 170 microns sources in the FIRBACK South Marano (FSM) field. The survey is 90% complete at the 4 sigma level. The spectra are compared with those of a reference sample of faint IRAS (60 microns selected) sources observed in the same conditions . The galaxies in both samples are characterized by a predominance of emission-line spectra and moderate IR luminosities (10E10.5 < L_IR < 10E12 L_Sun). The fraction of AGN's is low (about 15%) and the majority of sources are nearby (z<0.3), dusty, star forming galaxies, with moderate star formation rates (a few 10 solar masses per year). The infrared emission of the FSM galaxies shows also a colder spectral energy distribution than was expected. The galaxies in both samples (IRAS faint sources and FSM) are essentially undistinguishable with the available data, and seem to represent a population of closeby, cold, star forming galaxies rather neglected up to now. Although their contribution to the far-IR background seems to be low, they deserve a more detailed study on their own. The contribution of fainter, presumably more distant, galaxies to the far-IR background will be discussed when we will have completed the follow-up of the fainter part of this 170 microns survey. It seems however already clear that the fraction of closeby, cold galaxies is much larger than expected by the earlier models, at least down to the sensitivity achieved by this ISO survey.

description: Four-dimensional scanning transmission electron microscopy (4D-STEM) is one of the most rapidly growing modes of electron microscopy imaging. The advent of fast pixelated cameras and the associated data infrastructure have greatly accelerated this process. Yet conversion of the 4D datasets into physically meaningful structure images in real-space remains an open issue. In this work, we demonstrate that, it is possible to systematically create filters that will affect the apparent resolution or even qualitative features of the real-space structure image, reconstructing artificially generated patterns. As initial efforts, we explore statistical model selection algorithms, aiming for robustness and reliability of estimated filters. This statistical model selection analysis demonstrates the need for regularization and cross-validation of inversion methods to robustly recover structure from high-dimensional diffraction datasets.
