description: This paper is about a monitoring campaign carried out in a commercial-industrial site near Bologna, Italy. The experimental catchment is part of a goods warehouse area, run over every day by several trucks. The watershed area is about 1.15 ha, almost completely impervious, including a parking area and a charge-discharge zone for trucks and also a small part of the warehouse building roofs. Storm water is collected by a small drainage system into a first foul flush tank, whose effective volume is about 36 m3. In order to study both hydraulic and water quality aspects, the site has been equipped with several instruments, like an automatic sampler, a rainfall gauge, a submerged level sensor and a turbidity meter. Rainfall data, tank water level and turbidity have been recorded continuously for 8 months; during that period 57 rainfall events (> 1 mm) have taken place (total rainfall of 451 mm). For 5 of those events, water samples were collected and analyzed to know chemical concentrations (SST, COD, metals and hydrocarbons) and ecotoxic inhibition (Vibrio fischeri). Laboratory results have been compared to turbidity and hydrological values recorded, in order to find possible relationships between punctual and continuous data.

description: This study presents the first radiocarbon-dated palynological record from a peat section (57°49′10.03"N; 114°03′31.37"E, 251 m above sea level) in the Mamakan area located in the lower Vitim River valley, about 350 km northeast of Lake Baikal. While the area is particularly renowned for its numerous multi-layered Upper Palaeolithic (ca. 50,000–14,000/10,000 cal yr BP) archaeological sites with rich cultural assemblages, there is also evidence for human occupation during the Mesolithic–Neolithic–Bronze Age period (ca. 14,000/10,000–3000 cal yr BP). However, the absence of accurately dated palaeoenvironmental records does not allow discussion of prehistoric human–environment interactions in this area. The records of pollen, spores and other non-pollen palynomorphs (NPPs) from the Mamakan site presented in this article document changes in the vegetation and climate of the study area between 6570 and 3630 cal yr BP. From 6570 to 6200 cal yr BP the vegetation around the site was dominated by sparse forests of mainly spruce and larch, indicating that the permafrost layer was located relatively close to the surface. Fir was part of the forest communities in habitats with a milder microclimate and a deeper permafrost layer. Around 6200 cal yr BP Scots pine started to spread across the study area. Until 4670 cal yr BP it dominated the pollen spectra of the Mamakan record, indicating warmer conditions. Climate cooling and higher soil moisture is indicated by the spread of Siberian pine and Siberian dwarf pine at the expense of Scots pine between 4670 and 3840 cal yr BP. From 3840 cal yr BP the Mamakan record suggests a landscape opening associated with the spread of Sphagnum-dominated bog vegetation and an increase in the occurrence of wildfires (3870–3820 cal yr BP), which were either natural in origin or caused by human activities. The spread of Scots pine paralleled by a decline in dark conifers (spruce and fir) and larch in the Lake Baikal Region (LBR) has been linked to a ‘hiatus’ in the Cis-Baikal archaeological records of the Middle Neolithic (6660–6060 cal yr BP). Around the Mamakan site this vegetation change occurred comparatively late, about 600 years later than in the regions around and east (e.g. Lake Baunt area) of Lake Baikal. The Mamakan pollen and NPP records, together with the available archaeological data, suggest that the environmental conditions in the lower Vitim River area may have sustained the hunter-gatherer lifestyle also during the ‘hiatus’ interval.

description: Agriculture based on broomcorn and foxtail millet has been identified as one of the main drivers of population expansion and/or resource and innovation transfer across Neolithic and Bronze Age Eurasia. However, accurate reconstruction of spatio-temporal patterns of millet spread within and outside China remains a challenging issue. Here we use a representative set of 27 millet-based radiocarbon (14C) dates from southern Primorye to reconstruct when millet cultivation became part of hunter-fisher-gatherer subsistence in this vast southeasternmost region of Russia. The spatio-temporal distribution of the 14C data demonstrates the following picture. After the earliest conventionally accepted (although not directly dated) appearance of millet at the Krounovka-1 site in the Suifen (Razdol'naya) River catchment west of Khanka Lake around 3521–3356 BCE (95.4% probability range of calibrated ages of wood charcoal), millet agriculture is registered at the site Gvozdevo-4 located on the southern coastal plains northeast of the mouth of the Tumen (Tumannaya) River in the first half of the 3rd millennium BCE. Several archaeological sites (Novoselishche-4, Bogolyubovka-1, Rettikhovka Geologicheskaya-1, Risovoe-4) with directly dated millet indicate the spread of millet cultivation across the fertile plains around Khanka Lake during the second half of the 3rd millennium BCE. The dates obtained from the Olga-10 site on the eastern coastal plains along the Sea of Japan suggest that millet contributed to the food economy there from the beginning of the 2nd millennium BCE. The presented dataset shows the presence of millet in the north-eastern part of the study region (i.e. at the Glazovka-gorodishche site) in the second half of the 1st millennium BCE. Our dataset demonstrates that millet has been cultivated in southern Primorye since the Late Neolithic, when small-scale agriculture was introduced by Zaisanovskaya culture groups archaeologically documented in the study region and neighbouring regions of China and North Korea. This indicates that millet was an integral part of the subsistence economy of the local populations throughout the entire period under review.

description: The analytical expressions forming the basis of the analytical probabilistic stormwater model (APSWM) were derived and verified in a series of previous papers. Probabilistic description and representation of input storm events are the major difference between APSWM and conventional stormwater models that use design storms to represent local rainfall conditions. In this paper, the fundamentals of APSWM are summarized with an emphasis on comparing it with conventional stormwater models. This comparison reveals the many advantages of APSWM and delineates better the applicability of APSWM for the planning and design of stormwater management facilities. This comparison also identifies the limitations of both APSWM and the conventional design storm approach. A wider and proper application of APSWM in engineering practice is what motivated this summarizing and comparison study.
Developing joint interaction and detector systematics for the SK+T2K joint oscillation analysis
Creators: name: Barrow, Daniel
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: A joint oscillation analysis of atmospheric neutrinos at Super-Kamiokande (SK) and accelerator neutrinos at Tokai-to-Kamioka (T2K) is in preparation. Apart from the increase in statistics and the lifting of degeneracies providing improved constraints on oscillation parameters, the systematics in T2K and SK’s analyses share many common features and have been carefully studied for the joint analysis. SK is also T2K’s far detector, and a natural correlation between detector systematics exists. Two approaches have been developed; one studying the official inputs to each analysis and evaluating their correlations, and the other simultaneously fitting the underlying observables in the oscillation analysis. A sizeable fraction of SK’s “sub-GeV” events share phase space with T2K’s narrow-band beam. A joint neutrino interaction model has been developed, which allows reducing uncertainties on SK’s “sub-GeV” selections further by using high-statistics data collected at T2K’s near detector, ND280. Additional systematics are introduced to account for phase space not covered by ND280. This poster presents on these new developments and their utility in the joint analysis.

description: The uncontrolled expansion of the majority of the cities is generating many infrastructure problems and environmental impacts. The usual drainage systems have proved to be inefficient and excessively expensive. Alternative solutions, trying to compensate urbanisation and imperviousness effects are being researched, trying to favour source control. This paper presents an experimental study, developed at IPH-UFRGS (Institute for Hydraulic Research of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul), in Porto Alegre, Brazil, which seeks to monitor and analyse the behaviour of pervious pavements, when subjected to usual traffic conditions. A parking lot of 280 m2 was built, allowing intensive and continuous monitoring of two different types of pervious pavements: (i) asphalt; (ii) concrete garden blocks, filled with grass. Water quantity and quality data are collected in order to evaluate the performance of permeable pavements and to appraise its feasibility in specific soil and weather conditions of the city of Porto Alegre/Brazil. The preliminary results show a good performance of the permeable pavements: low values were observed both for runoff and maximum storage in the reservoirs. Low infiltration rates were also observed, as consequence of the clay soil, as expected from the previous soil characterisation tests, performed before the site construction.

description: Molecular metal oxides often adopt common structural frameworks (i.e. archetypes), many of them boasting impressive structural robustness and stability. However, the ability to adapt and to undergo transformations between different structural archetypes is a desirable material design feature offering applicability in different environments. Using systems thinking approach that integrates synthetic, analytical and computational techniques, we explore the transformations governing the chemistry of polyoxovanadates (POVs) constructed of arsenate and vanadate building units. The water-soluble salt of the low nuclearity polyanion [V6As8O26]4− can be effectively used for the synthesis of the larger spherical (i.e. kegginoidal) mixed-valent [V12As8O40]4− precipitate, while the novel [V10As12O40]8− POVs having tubular cyclic structures are another, well soluble product. Surprisingly, in contrast to the common observation that high-nuclearity polyoxometalate (POM) clusters are fragmented to form smaller moieties in solution, the low nuclearity [V6As8O26]4− anion is in situ transformed into the higher nuclearity cluster anions. The obtained products support a conceptually new model that is outlined in this article and that describes a continuous evolution between spherical and cyclic POV assemblies. This new model represents a milestone on the way to rational and designable POV self-assemblies.

description: Recently in Ref. [1], one of the authors introduced the balanced partial entanglement (BPE), which has been proposed to be dual to the entanglement wedge cross-section (EWCS). In this paper, we explicitly demonstrate that the BPE could be considered as a proper measure of the total intrinsic correlation between two subsystems in a mixed state. The total correlation includes certain crossing correlations, which are minimized by particular balance conditions. By constructing a class of purifications from Euclidean path-integrals, we find that the balanced crossing correlations show universality and can be considered as the generalization of the Markov gap for the canonical purification. We also test the relation between the BPE and the EWCS in three-dimensional asymptotically flat holography. We find that the balanced crossing correlation vanishes for the field theory invariant under BMS3 symmetry (BMSFT) and dual to the Einstein gravity, indicating the possibility of a perfect Markov recovery. We further elucidate these crossing correlations as a signature of tripartite entanglement and explain their interpretation in both AdS and non-AdS holography.

The trees from the plastid dataset depict a clade of Dianthus that also includes Velezia and a few taxa of Petrorhagia. New combinations in Dianthus are provided for these species. The checklist of Dianthus in this new delimitation covers 1781 names, with 384 accepted species, 150 subspecies, 12 heterotypic varieties and two forms (not counting autonyms), 1050 synonyms, 22 hybrid names and 172 unresolved names, 3 names were excluded. Implications for the evolution of flower characters, life forms, biogeography, as well as sectional classification are discussed based on the phylogenetic framework.

Online Multi-Messenger Program of KM3NeT

description: KM3NeT is a multi-purpose cubic-kilometer neutrino observatory under construction in two different sites of the Mediterranean Sea. It consists of ORCA and ARCA (for Oscillation and Astroparticle Research with Cosmics in the Abyss, respectively) telescopes, currently taking data with the first set of detection lines in operation. Although having different primary goals, both detectors can be used for neutrino astronomy over a wide energy range, from a few tens of MeVs to PeV energies. In view of the growing field of time-domain astronomy, it is crucial to be able to promptly identify neutrino candidates. Real-time searches can significantly increase the discovery potential of transient cosmic accelerators and refine the pointing directions in the case of poorly localized triggers, such as gravitational waves. KM3NeT is implementing a fast online reconstruction and classification system for both detectors. Neutrino alerts will be sent nearly real-time to the astronomy community and they will consist of both self-triggered events of interest, such as multiplets and VHE events, and the results of online search for time/space coincidence given external electromagnetic and multi-messenger triggers. This poster presents KM3NeT online multi-messenger activities, the alert format, alert definitions, and the expected timeline of issuing public alerts.

description: The outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic unveiled an unprecedented scarcity of personal protective equipment (PPE) available in sanitary premises and for the population worldwide. This situation fostered the development of new strategies to reuse PPE that would ensure sterility and, simultaneously, preserve the filtering properties of the materials. In addition, the reuse of PPEs by reprocessing could reduce the environmental impact of the massive single-use and disposal of these materials. Conventional sterilization techniques such as steam or dry heat, ethylene oxide, and gamma irradiation may alter the functional properties of the PPEs and/or leave toxic residues. Supercritical CO2 (scCO2)-based sterilization is herein proposed as a safe, sustainable, and rapid sterilization method for contaminated face masks while preserving their performance. The functional (bacterial filtration efficiency, breathability, splash resistance, straps elasticity) properties of the processed FFP3 face masks were evaluated after 1 and 10 cycles of sterilization. Log-6 sterilization reduction levels were obtained for face masks contaminated with Bacillus pumilus endospores at mild operating conditions (CO2 at 39 °C and 100 bar for 30 min) and with low contents of H2O2 (150 ppm). Physicochemical properties of the FFP3 face masks remained unchanged after reprocessing and differences in efficacy were not observed neither in the filtration tests, following UNE-EN 14683, nor in the integrity of FFP3 filtration after the sterilization process. The herein presented method based on scCO2 technology is the first reported protocol achieving the reprocessing of FFP3 masks up to 10 cycles while preserving their functional properties.

organized according to CDIO principles. Autumn 2009 was the first time that the
‘full  CDIO package’ was realized.        The lessons learned from this first
round will be presented along with the changes they inspired : e.g. the
introduction of a successful mutual workshop between the geometry course and
the design course. This has realized the full potential of structural design
and firmly highlighted the creative potential in geometry to hesitant students.
The mutual workshop has also shown a potential as a general tool that can
enhance curriculum integration.
The Analysis and New Results from the Full Dataset of the Majorana Demonstrator

description: The Majorana Demonstrator experiment is searching for neutrinoless double-beta decay using p-type point contact (PPC) high purity germanium detectors enriched in Ge-76. The experiment has been operating under low-background active and passive shielding since 2015 and has concluded its data-taking with enriched detectors in March 2021 after accumulating a total exposure of approximately 65 kg-yr. The PPC detector geometry exhibits an excellent energy resolution and enables pulse-shape analysis techniques to reject multi-site and surface backgrounds. In preparation for setting a limit in the neutrinoless double-beta decay half-life in Ge-76, many improvements in the analysis techniques have been made for this final analysis in response to our further exploration of the experiment's capabilities. We will present the latest results from the neutrinoless double-beta decay search with the Majorana Demonstrator with a focus on its analysis techniques and performance.

description: Background: The haematoma block (HB) has been successfully used to minimise pain prior to otherwise painful closed reduction manoeuvres for distal radius fractures. However, the invasive manner of the procedure, which technically produces an open fracture, still raises the question, whether HBs increase the risk of infection compared to conventional intravenous analgesia (IA). The purpose of this study was to assess complication rates and safety of the HB procedure for the closed reduction of surgically treated distal radius fractures. Methods: We included 176 distal radius fractures in 170 patients in a retrospective mono-centric study, who underwent closed reduction and casting followed by definitive surgical care over a period of two years. Patients either received a HB or IA before closed reduction and were evaluated for minor and major complications over a follow-up period of four years. Results: Overall, 42 distal radius fractures were treated with a HB (23.9%) and 134 with IA (76.1%) before closed reduction. There were a single major (2.3%) and eight minor (19%) complications observed in the HB group compared to two major (1.4%) and 24 minor (17.9%) complications in the IA group. No significant differences were identified between the two groups. Sex and type of fracture had no effect on complication rates, however, younger patients experienced higher complication rates in comparison to older ones (p = 0.035). Conclusion: According to our data, the apprehensions that clinicians may have of creating open fractures through HB procedures, are unnecessary and may be abandoned confidently.

description: Purpose: This study aimed to calculate an applicable relative ratio threshold value instead of the absolute threshold value for simultaneous 68Ga prostate-specific membrane antigen/positron emission tomography ([68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 PET) in patients with prostate cancer (PCa). Materials and methods: Our study evaluated thirty-two patients and 170 focal prostate lesions. Lesions are classified into groups according to Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS). Standardized uptake values maximum (SUVmax), corresponding lesion-to-background ratios (LBRs) of SUVmax, and LBR distributions of each group were measured based on regions of interest (ROI). We examined LBR with receiver operating characteristic analysis to determine threshold values for differentiation between multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI)-positive and mpMRI-negative lesions. Results: We analyzed a total of 170 focal prostate lesions. Lesions number of PI-RADS 2 to 5 was 70, 16, 46, and 38. LBR of SUVmax of each PI-RADS scores was 1.5 (0.9, 2.4), 2.5 (1.6, 3.4), 3.7 (2.6, 4.8), and 6.7 (3.5, 12.7). Based on an optimal threshold ratio of 2.5 to be exceeded, lesions could be classified into MRI-positive lesion on [68Ga]Ga-PSMA PET with a sensitivity of 85.2%, a specificity of 72.0%, with the corresponding area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.83, p < 0.001. This value matches the imaging findings better. Conclusion: The ratio threshold value of SUVmax, LBR, has improved clinical and research applicability compared with the absolute value of SUVmax. A higher threshold value than the background’s uptake can dovetail the imaging findings on MRI better. It reduces the bias from using absolute background uptake value as the threshold value.

description: Die Kunstfigur Conchita Wurst kombiniert gekonnt weibliche und männliche Attribute. Treffend wird sie als „Super-Weiblichkeit mit Bart“ (Hutfless/Schäfer 2014: o.S.) beschrieben. Werden in der Berichterstattung über Conchita Wurst die Kategorien ‚eindeutig weiblich‘ oder ‚eindeutig männlich‘ aufgebrochen? Die zentrale Forschungsfrage der Untersuchung lautet: „Wodurch kennzeichnet sich die mediale Verhandlung von (Un)Eindeutigkeiten bei Geschlecht am Beispiel von Conchita Wurst?“ Vor dem theoretischen Hintergrund der Queer Theory wird die Performativität von Geschlecht im Sinne Judith Butlers (1991; 1995) diskutiert. Mittels qualitativer Inhaltsanalyse nach Mayring werden Antworten auf die Forschungsfrage gesucht. Den Untersuchungsgegenstand bilden drei österreichische Qualitätszeitungen. Die Ambivalenz, die die Kunstfigur Conchita Wurst in sich trägt, indem sie die Schönheitserwartungen an eine Frau bei Weitem übertrifft, sie auf der anderen Seite jedoch mit einem Bart ‚stört‘, spiegeln sich auch in der Berichterstattung wider. Einerseits wird durch die bärtige Drag Queen das Thema geschlechtliche (Un)Eindeutigkeit in den Medien thematisiert, andererseits schnell in die heteronormativen Vorstellungen der Gesellschaft eingebettet.
Parameter Structure Identification Using the Level Set Methods

description: We introduce an inverse approach for efficiently identifying the spatial distribution
of binary materials (say, a lower permeable material D embedded in the background
material) using the level set method, given head measurements at some locations and
times. No assumption has been made on the shape, size, and locations of these
embedded zones, as well as the correlation structure and the proportion of two
materials. By this method, instead of handling D directly, the lower permeable zones
(or their boundaries) are represented by a level set function, which is negative in
the interior of D, positive in its exterior, and zero on its boundary. Since a level
set function uniquely defines the region of embedded zones, we manipulate D
explicitly through evolution of its boundary. Our aim is to find a level set function
such that the hydraulic head solved using the spatial distribution of lower permeable
zones defined by this level set function matches the observed values. Because D is
unknown, so is the level set function. In the method, we generate a sequence of level
set functions such that the regions they defined approach D. We start from an initial
level set function (i.e., an initial boundary of lower permeable zones) and
sequentially propagate the boundary by solving a level set equation. The speed of
propagation of boundary, which is an input to the level set equation, is related to
the sensitivity of head to permeability and the error between the measured head and
modeled head using the current time. A synthetic example shows that this method can
locate those embedded zones efficiently.

description: In continuous-variable quantum computing with qubits encoded in the infinite-dimensional Hilbert space of bosonic modes, it is a difficult task to realize strong and on-demand interactions between the qubits. One option is to engineer a beamsplitter interaction for photons in two superconducting cavities by driving an intermediate superconducting circuit with two continuous-wave drives, as demonstrated in a recent experiment [Gao et al., Phys. Rev. X 8, 021073 (2018)]. Here we show how quantum optimal control theory (OCT) can be used in a systematic way to improve the beamsplitter interaction between the two cavities. We find that replacing the two-tone protocol by a three-tone protocol accelerates the effective beamsplitter rate between the two cavities. The third tone's amplitude and frequency are determined by gradient-free optimization and make use of cavity-transmon sideband couplings. We show how to further improve the three-tone protocol via gradient-based optimization while keeping the optimized drives experimentally feasible. Our work exemplifies how to use OCT to systematically improve practical protocols in quantum information applications.

description: The roles extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) play in mineral attachment and weathering were studied using genetically modified biofilms of the rock-inhabiting fungus Knufia petricola strain A95. Mutants deficient in melanin and/or carotenoid synthesis were grown as air-exposed biofilms. Extracted EPS were quantified and characterised using a combination of analytical techniques. The absence of melanin affected the quantity and composition of the produced EPS: mutants no longer able to form melanin synthesised more EPS containing fewer pullulan-related glycosidic linkages. Moreover, the melanin-producing strains attached more strongly to the mineral olivine and dissolved it at a higher rate. We hypothesise that the pullulan-related linkages, with their known adhesion functionality, enable fungal attachment and weathering. The released phenolic intermediates of melanin synthesis in the Δsdh1 mutant might play a role similar to Fe-chelating siderophores, driving olivine dissolution even further. These data demonstrate the need for careful compositional and quantitative analyses of biofilm-created microenvironments.
