description: Imaging spectrographs are popular instruments used to obtain solar data. They record quasi-monochromatic images at selected wavelength positions. By scanning the spectral range of the line, it is possible to obtain bidimensional maps of the FoV with a moderate spectral resolution. In this work, we evaluate the quality of spectropolarimetric inversions obtained from various wavelength samplings during umbral flashes. We computed numerical simulations of nonlinear wave propagation in a sunspot and constructed synthetic Stokes profiles in the Ca II 8542 Å line during an umbral flash using the NLTE code NICOLE. The spectral resolution of the Stokes profiles was downgraded to various cases with differences in the wavelength coverage. A large set of wavelength samplings was analyzed and the performance of the inversions was evaluated by comparing the inferred chromospheric temperature, velocity, and magnetic field with the actual values at the chromosphere of the numerical simulation. The errors in the inverted results depend to a large extent on the location of the wavelength points across the profile of the line. The inferred magnetic field improves with the increase of the spectral resolution. In the case of velocity and temperature, low spectral resolution data produce a match of the inverted atmospheres with the actual values comparable to wavelength samplings with finer resolution, while providing a higher temporal cadence in the data acquisition. We validated the NLTE inversions of spectropolarimetric data from the Ca II 8542 Å during umbral flashes, during which the atmosphere undergoes sudden dramatic changes due to the propagation of a shock wave. Our results favor the use of fine spectral resolution for analyses that focus on the inference of the magnetic field, whereas the estimation of temperature and velocity fluctuations can be performed with lower spectral resolution.

description: Abstract: The placenta is the interface between mother and fetus and inadequate function contributes to short and long-term ill-health. The placenta is absent from most large-scale RNA-Seq datasets. We therefore analyze long and small RNAs (~101 and 20 million reads per sample respectively) from 302 human placentas, including 94 cases of preeclampsia (PE) and 56 cases of fetal growth restriction (FGR). The placental transcriptome has the seventh lowest complexity of 50 human tissues: 271 genes account for 50% of all reads. We identify multiple circular RNAs and validate 6 of these by Sanger sequencing across the back-splice junction. Using large-scale mass spectrometry datasets, we find strong evidence of peptides produced by translation of two circular RNAs. We also identify novel piRNAs which are clustered on Chr1 and Chr14. PE and FGR are associated with multiple and overlapping differences in mRNA, lincRNA and circRNA but fewer consistent differences in small RNAs. Of the three protein coding genes differentially expressed in both PE and FGR, one encodes a secreted protein FSTL3 (follistatin-like 3). Elevated serum levels of FSTL3 in pregnant women are predictive of subsequent PE and FGR. To aid visualization of our placenta transcriptome data, we develop a web application (https://www.obgyn.cam.ac.uk/placentome/).

description: Bilayer two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) materials are attracting increasing attention due to their predicted high quality electronic and optical properties. Here we demonstrate dense, selective growth of WSe2 bilayer flakes by chemical vapor deposition with the use of a 1:10 molar mixture of sodium cholate and sodium chloride as the growth promoter to control the local diffusion of W-containing species. A large fraction of the bilayer WSe2 flakes showed a 0 and 60o twist between the two layers, while moire 15 and 30o-twist angles were also observed. Well-defined monolayer-bilayer junctions were formed in the as-grown bilayer WSe2 flakes, and these interfaces exhibited p-n diode rectification and an ambipolar transport characteristic. This work provides an efficient method for the layer-controlled growth of 2D materials, in particular, 2D transition metal dichalcogenides and promotes their applications in next-generation electronic and optoelectronic devices.

description: Increased bird density on egg production operations has led to high electricity consumption and manure handling problems. Anaerobic diqestion offers a source of energy (biogas) and a consistent method of manure management. This paper reports the results of a computer simulation model desiqned to evaluate the economic viability of biogas-to-electricity systems on four egg farms containing different numbers of hens. These results indicate that the economic viability of the investment analyzed is directly related to the number of hens and projected electricity prices.

description: Abstract: Background: Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO), the first step in the kynurenine pathway (KP), is upregulated in some cancers and represents an attractive therapeutic target given its role in tumour immune evasion. However, the recent failure of an IDO inhibitor in a late phase trial raises questions about this strategy. Methods: Matched renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and normal kidney tissues were subject to proteomic profiling. Tissue immunohistochemistry and gene expression data were used to validate findings. Phenotypic effects of loss/gain of expression were examined in vitro. Results: Quinolate phosphoribosyltransferase (QPRT), the final and rate-limiting enzyme in the KP, was identified as being downregulated in RCC. Loss of QPRT expression led to increased potential for anchorage-independent growth. Gene expression, mass spectrometry (clear cell and chromophobe RCC) and tissue immunohistochemistry (clear cell, papillary and chromophobe), confirmed loss or decreased expression of QPRT and showed downregulation of other KP enzymes, including kynurenine 3-monoxygenase (KMO) and 3-hydroxyanthranilate-3,4-dioxygenase (HAAO), with a concomitant maintenance or upregulation of nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT), the key enzyme in the NAD+ salvage pathway. Conclusions: Widespread dysregulation of the KP is common in RCC and is likely to contribute to tumour immune evasion, carrying implications for effective therapeutic targeting of this critical pathway

description: Im Zuge des Zweiten Weltkrieges wurden zahlreiche sowjetische Museen, Archive und Bibliotheken ausgeraubt oder zerstört. Als Antwort auf diese Schäden wurden im Februar 1945 seitens der Sowjetregierung die sog. Trophäenbrigaden gegründet, die mit der Ausfuhr der deutschen Kulturgüter als Kompensation für entstandene Verluste beauftragt waren. Entgegen der Vereinbarungen der Potsdamer Konferenz, die solche Konfiskationen nur in Ausnahmsfällen erlaubte, organisierten die sowjetischen Besatzer flächendeckende Beschlagnahmungen und Abtransporte der deutschen Kulturgüter als Kriegsbeute in die UdSSR. Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht den sowjetischen Kunst- und Kulturraub im besetzten Deutschland. Eine besondere Aufmerksamkeit wird den Konfiskationen der deutschen Bücher und deren Verteilung in die sowjetischen Bibliotheken gewidmet. Am Ende der Arbeit soll ein Überblick über die komplizierten deutsch-russischen Restitutionsverhandlungen, die bis heute zu keinem Ergebnis geführt haben, gegeben werden.

description: Abstract: The 90K protein, also known as Mac-2 BP or LGALS3BP, can activate the immune response in part by increasing major histocompatibility (MHC) class I levels. In studies on a non-immune cell model, the rat FRTL-5 cell line, we observed that transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1, like γ-interferon (IFN), increased 90K levels, despite its immunosuppressive functions and the ability to decrease MHC class I. To explain this paradoxical result, we investigated the mechanisms involved in the TGF-β1 regulation of 90K expression with the aim to demonstrate that TGF-β1 utilizes different molecular pathways to regulate the two genes. We found that TGF-β1 was able to increase the binding of Upstream Stimulatory Factors, USF1 and USF2, to an E-box element, CANNTG, at −1926 to −1921 bp, upstream of the interferon response element (IRE) in the 90K promoter. Thyrotropin (TSH) suppressed constitutive and γ-IFN-induced 90K expression by decreasing USF binding to the E-box. TGF-β1 was able to overcome TSH suppression at the transcriptional level by increasing USF binding to the E-box. We suggest that the ability of TGF-β1 to increase 90K did not result in an increase in MHC class I because of a separate suppressive action of TGF-β1 directly on the MHC class I gene. We propose that the increased levels of 90K may play a role, rather than in immune response, in the context of the TGF-β1-induced changing of the cellular microenvironment that predisposes to cell motility and cancer progression. Consistently, analyzing the publicly available cancer patient data sets cBioPortal, we found that 90K expression directly correlated with TGF-β1 and USFs and that high levels of 90K were significantly associated with increased mortality in patients affected by different types of cancer.

By `integrating in' the light W^\pm vector multiplets we derive a quantum corrected effective action which is manifestly SU(2) invariant and non-singular. This effective action is found to be consistent with a residual SL(2,Z) quantum symmetry on the line T=U. In an appropriate decompactification limit, we recover the known SU(2) invariant action in five dimensions.

description: Abstract: Preimplantation embryos experience profound resetting of epigenetic information inherited from the gametes. Genome-wide analysis at single-base resolution has shown similarities but also species differences between human and mouse preimplantation embryos in DNA methylation patterns and reprogramming. Here, we have extended such analysis to two key livestock species, the pig and the cow. We generated genome-wide DNA methylation and whole-transcriptome datasets from gametes to blastocysts in both species. In oocytes from both species, a distinctive bimodal methylation landscape is present, with hypermethylated domains prevalent over hypomethylated domains, similar to human, while in the mouse the proportions are reversed. An oocyte-like pattern of methylation persists in the cleavage stages, albeit with some reduction in methylation level, persisting to blastocysts in cow, while pig blastocysts have a highly hypomethylated landscape. In the pig, there was evidence of transient de novo methylation at the 8–16 cell stages of domains unmethylated in oocytes, revealing a complex dynamic of methylation reprogramming. The methylation datasets were used to identify germline differentially methylated regions (gDMRs) of known imprinted genes and for the basis of detection of novel imprinted loci. Strikingly in the pig, we detected a consistent reduction in gDMR methylation at the 8–16 cell stages, followed by recovery to the blastocyst stage, suggesting an active period of imprint stabilization in preimplantation embryos. Transcriptome analysis revealed absence of expression in oocytes of both species of ZFP57, a key factor in the mouse for gDMR methylation maintenance, but presence of the alternative imprint regulator ZNF445. In conclusion, our study reveals species differences in DNA methylation reprogramming and suggests that porcine or bovine models may be closer to human in key aspects than in the mouse model.

description: Exoplanets have been observed around stars at all stages of stellar evolution, in many cases orbiting in configurations that will eventually lead to the planets being engulfed or consumed by their host stars, such as Hot Jupiters or ultra-short period planets. Furthermore, objects such as polluted white dwarfs provide strong evidence that the consumption of planets by stars is a common phenomenon. This consumption causes several significant changes in the stellar properties, such as changes to the stellar spin, luminosity, chemical composition, or mass loss processes. Here, we explore this wide variety of effects for a comprehensive range of stellar and planetary masses and stages of stellar evolution, from the main sequence over red giants to the white dwarfs. We determine that planet consumption can cause transient luminosity features that last on the order of centuries to millennia, and that the post-consumption stellar spins can often reach break-up speeds. Furthermore, stellar moss loss can be caused by this spin-up, as well as through surface grazing interactions, leading to to the formation of unusual planetary nebula shapes or collimated stellar gas ejections. Our results highlight several observable stellar features by which the presence or previous existence of a planet around a given star can be deduced. This will provide future observational campaigns with the tools to better constrain exoplanet demographics, as well as planetary formation and evolution histories.

description: Spittlebugs are responsible for the spread of Xylella fastidiosa in several European countries. This bacterium (X. fastidiosa subspecies multiplex) was found attacking almond trees in the Valencian Community (Eastern Spain) in 2017, producing the “Almond Leaf Scorch Disease”. Since then, Philaenus spumarius has been identified as the main insect species involved in transmission between plants. One key factor in understanding the epidemiology of the bacterium is to determine the host plant feeding preference of its insect vectors. One way to stablish this preference is studying the attraction of the vectors to the different plants, depending on the emitted volatile compounds.
 In this work, we are analyzing the attraction of P. spumarius to several host plants by using a Y-tube olfactometer. Individuals of P. spumarius came from a greeenhouse, where we reared the insects in semi-field conditions, or directly from the field. Common sowthistle (Sonchus oleraceus L.) has been used as a preferred host plant of the insect. Therefore bermuda grass (Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.), olive (Olea europea L., var Arbequina) and citrus (Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck, var Pineapple) have been compared against it. Besides activated common sowthistle (a plant previously attacked by insects) has been tested.
 The results have shown that: i) common sowthistle was preferred over no plant, ii) an activated common sowthistle was preferred over a not-activated plant, iii) common sowthistle was preferred over bermuda grass, iv) common sowthistle was preferred over citrus, and v) common sowthistle was similarly prefered to olive. In some cases, it seems that responses to plants depends on insect sex.
 The study is ongoing and more tests with P. spumarius, as well as the analysis of Neophilaenus campestris, are being carried out.

description: Plum leaf scald (PLS), caused by the vector-borne bacterium Xylella fastidiosa, is a major obstacle to the expansion of plum crops in Brazil. In other affected crops, this pathogen is naturally transmitted mainly by sharpshooter leafhoppers (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Cicadellinae). Despite the importance of PLS, the vector species responsible for bacterial spread in plums remain unknown. This study, therefore, aimed at determining the X. fastidiosa transmission ability of three sharpshooter species commonly found in plum orchards in southern and southeastern Brazil: Macugonalia cavifrons (Stål), Macugonalia leucomelas (Walker), and Sibovia sagata (Signoret). After a 72 h acquisition access period on plum trees infected with X. fastidiosa subsp. multiplex (sequence type 67), four insects of each of the species were transferred for an inoculation access period of 96 h to 10–20 healthy Prunus salicina Lindl. Bacterial infection in the plants was verified 7 months after inoculation by polymerase chain reaction. Results showed that the three sharpshooter species were able to transmit X. fastidiosa to plums, with mean transmission efficiencies by single insects of 16%, 14%, and 18% for M. cavifrons, M. leucomelas, and S. sagata, respectively. To our knowledge, this study is the first to identify vector species and prove the transmission of a PLS strain of X. fastidiosa subsp. multiplex by sharpshooters in Brazil.

description: Abstract: Many of the standard volcanic gas flux measurement approaches involve absorption spectroscopy in combination with wind speed measurements. Here, we present a new method using video images of volcanic plumes to measure the speed of convective structures combined with classical plume theory to estimate volcanic fluxes. We apply the method to a nearly vertical gas plume at Villarrica Volcano, Chile, and a wind-blown gas plume at Mount Etna, Italy. Our estimates of the gas fluxes are consistent in magnitude with previous reported fluxes obtained by spectroscopy and electrochemical sensors for these volcanoes. Compared to conventional gas flux measurement techniques focusing on SO2, our new model also has the potential to be used for sulfur-poor plumes in hydrothermal systems because it estimates the H2O flux.

description: We discuss the impact of recent developments in the theory of chaotic dynamical systems, particularly the results of Sinai and Ruelle, on microwave experiments designed to study quantum chaos. The properties of closed Sinai billiard microwave cavities are discussed in terms of universal predictions from random matrix theory, as well as periodic orbit contributions which manifest as `scars' in eigenfunctions. The semiclassical and classical Ruelle zeta-functions lead to quantum and classical resonances, both of which are observed in microwave experiments on n-disk hyperbolic billiards.

description: Non-linear electrodynamics (NLED) theories are well-motivated extensions of QED in the strong field regime, and have long been studied in the search for regular black hole (BH) solutions. We consider two well-studied and well-motivated NLED models coupled to General Relativity: the Euler-Heisenberg model and the Bronnikov model. After carefully accounting for the effective geometry induced by the NLED corrections, we determine the shadows of BHs within these two models. We then compare these to the shadow of the supermassive BH M87* recently imaged by the Event Horizon Telescope collaboration. In doing so, we are able to extract upper limits on the black hole magnetic charge, thus providing novel constraints on fundamental physics from this new extraordinary probe.

description: We use a five-component Digital Twin model for the Open Digital Twin Platform (ODTP) to capture quantities of interest from reality and represent higher order processes such as mobility in Switzerland. Digital Twins are represented in ODTP with Traces. A Trace describes how data moves through a digital twin from the data source to the last service providing output for users. Traces allow for the reproduction of a digital twin. ODTP relies on the cloud-based automation with micro-services to provide the five environments for the digital twin model. The first prototype “CH on the move” of the Swiss Mobility System uses MATSim , Eqasim and EasySynth to provide mobility simulations.

Bibliotheksmitarbeitende

description: Der sogenannte «Grundkurs» für neue Mitarbeitende – überwiegend Powerpointpräsentationen aller Teams, Gruppen und Sektionen während sechs bis sieben Halbtagen –, war nicht mehr zeitgemäß.

Ein Projektteam bestehend aus sieben Mitarbeitenden aller Sektionen wurde beauftragt, ein neues Format zu kreieren, das nicht wie bisher eine möglichst umfassende Informationsvermittlung, sondern das gemeinsame Erleben und Schaffen einer Zugehörigkeit zum neuen Arbeitgeber beinhaltet. Es wurde ein vierteiliges Onboardingformat entwickelt:

1) Auf der Plattform "Meet the Library" können alle Mitarbeitenden (nicht nur die Neuen) Informationen über Teams, Gruppen, Sektionen jederzeit und selbständig entdecken. Die Inhalte wurden von den Mitarbeitenden selbst erstellt.

2) Ein- bis zweimal pro Jahr findet ein Marktplatz statt: eine Auswahl an Tätigkeiten der einzelnen Teams sowie unterschiedliche Themen anhand von Hands-on-Beispielen von Mitarbeitenden für Mitarbeitende werden vorgestellt. Zielgruppe: neue und "alte" Mitarbeitende.

3) Ein Bibtrail legt den Fokus auf dem Besuch von Zweig-Bibliotheken außerhalb des Hauptgebäudes. Zielgruppe: neue Mitarbeitende

4) Das Meet again findet 100 Tage nach dem Marktplatz statt. Es ist ein informelles Treffen für den Austausch und Feedback zum Onboarding-Prozess.

Am Vortrag werden wir das vierteilige Onboardingformat, das bisher zweimal durchgeführt wurde, vorstellen sowie Feedback von neuen wie «alten» Mitarbeitenden dazu präsentieren.

description: We proposed a scheme to realize a controlled-NOT quantum logic gate in a dimer of exchange coupled single-molecule magnets, $[\textrm{Mn}_4]_2$. We chosen the ground state and the three low-lying excited states of a dimer in a finite longitudinal magnetic field as the quantum computing bases and introduced a pulsed transverse magnetic field with a special frequency. The pulsed transverse magnetic field induces the transitions between the quantum computing bases so as to realize a controlled-NOT quantum logic gate. The transition rates between the quantum computing bases and between the quantum computing bases and other excited states are evaluated and analyzed.

description: Abstract: Meiosis is a core feature of eukaryotes that occurs in all major groups, including the early diverging excavates. In this group, meiosis and production of haploid gametes have been described in the pathogenic protist, Trypanosoma brucei, and mating occurs in the salivary glands of the insect vector, the tsetse fly. Here, we searched for intermediate meiotic stages among trypanosomes from tsetse salivary glands. Many different cell types were recovered, including trypanosomes in Meiosis I and gametes. Significantly, we found trypanosomes containing three nuclei with a 1:2:1 ratio of DNA contents. Some of these cells were undergoing cytokinesis, yielding a mononucleate gamete and a binucleate cell with a nuclear DNA content ratio of 1:2. This cell subsequently produced three more gametes in two further rounds of division. Expression of the cell fusion protein HAP2 (GCS1) was not confined to gametes, but also extended to meiotic intermediates. We propose a model whereby the two nuclei resulting from Meiosis I undergo asynchronous Meiosis II divisions with sequential production of haploid gametes.

description: We present first principles calculations of the electrostatic properties of Ba$_2$NaOsO$_6$ (BNOO), a 5$d^1$ Mott insulator with strong spin orbit coupling (SOC) in its low temperature quantum phases. In light of recent NMR experiments showing that BNOO develops a local octahedral distortion that is accompanied by the emergence of an electric field gradient (EFG) and precedes the formation of long range magnetic order [Lu et al., Nature Comm. 8, 14407 (2017), Liu et al., Phys. Rev. B. 97, 224103 (2018), Liu et al., Physica B. 536, 863 (2018)], we calculated BNOO's EFG tensor for several different model distortions. The local orthorhombic distortion that we identified as mostly strongly agreeing with experiment corresponds to a Q2 distortion mode of the Na-O octahedra, in agreement with conclusions given in [Liu et al., Phys. Rev. B. 97, 224103 (2018)]. Furthermore, we found that the EFG is insensitive to the type of underlying magnetic order. By combining NMR results with first principles modeling, we have thus forged a more complete understanding of BNOO's structural and magnetic properties, which could not be achieved based upon experiment or theory alone.

description: The bacterium Xylella fastidiosa causing diseases of relevant impact on several plant species worldwide, is mainly transmitted by xylem-feeding insects of the suborder Auchenorrhyncha. Given the fact that X. fastidiosa poses a serious threat for cultivations in Europe, the knowledge of vectors biology is of great importance. The aim of this study was to explore the genetic diversity (COI, cytb, ITS2) and the bacterial infection status (Wolbachia, Arsenophonus, Hamiltonella, Cardinium, Rickettsia) of different populations of spittlebug species that are either known vectors of the disease or potential vectors. To this end, populations of different spittlebug species were collected from Greece (Philaenus spumarius, P. signatus and Neophilaenus campestris), Italy and Germany (P. spumarius, P. italosignus, N. campestris and N. lineatus).
 Our study indicated different levels of genetic diversity between the insect species. In the Greek populations of P. spumarius, P. signatus and N. campestris, the ITS2 region was the less polymorphic, while the analyzed fragments of the mitochondrial genes displayed higher genetic diversity. Specimens of P. spumarius from Germany and Italy exhibited high genetic variability in the COI gene while N. campestris from Germany in the ITS2 region. N. lineatus and P. italosignus from Germany and Italy, respectively, displayed low genetic variation. Differences were also detected in the bacterial community harbored by the different insect species collected in the abovementioned countries. Most of the Greek populations harbored at least one symbiont. Rickettsia was the predominant one, while Cardinium was totally absent from all populations. On the other hand, German and Italian specimens displayed lower bacterial diversity, since very few specimens were associated with symbionts. There was no evidence for the presence of Cardinium and Hamiltonella in any of the four examined insect species.
 The results of this study will enhance the understanding of the insect-endosymbionts-pathogenic bacteria associations and provide important knowledge to develop strategies aiming to control the spread and transmission of the bacterium.
