description: The exposure-dose-response characterization of an inhalation hazard established in an animal species needs to be translated to an equivalent characterization in humans relative to comparable doses or exposure scenarios. Here, the first geometry model of the conducting airways for rhesus monkeys is developed based upon CT images of the conducting airways of a 6-month-old male, rhesus monkey. An algorithm was developed for adding the alveolar region airways using published rhesus morphometric data. The resultant lung geometry model can be used in mechanistic particle or gaseous dosimetry models. Such dosimetry models require estimates of the upper respiratory tract volume of the animal and the functional residual capacity, as well as of the tidal volume and breathing frequency of the animal. The relationship of these variables to rhesus monkeys of differing body weights was established by synthesizing and modeling published data as well as modeling pulmonary function measurements on 121 rhesus control animals. Deposition patterns of particles up to 10 μm in size were examined for endotracheal and and up to 5 μm for spontaneous breathing in infant and young adult monkeys and compared to those for humans. Deposition fraction of respirable size particles was found to be higher in the conducting airways of infant and young adult rhesus monkeys compared to humans. Due to the filtering effect of the conducting airways, pulmonary deposition in rhesus monkeys was lower than that in humans. Future research areas are identified that would either allow replacing assumptions or improving the newly developed lung model.

description: Air pollution exposure affects autonomic function, heart rate, blood pressure and left ventricular function. While the mechanism for these effects is uncertain, several studies have reported that air pollution exposure modifies activity of the carotid body, the major organ that senses changes in arterial oxygen and carbon dioxide levels, and elicits downstream changes in autonomic control and cardiac function.

description: Increased use of renewable energy sources raise concerns about health effects of new emissions. We analyzed relative cardiopulmonary health effects of exhausts from (1) 100% soy biofuel (B100), (2) 20% soy biofuel + 80% low sulfur petroleum diesel (B20), and (3) 100% petroleum diesel (B0) in rats. Normotensive Wistar–Kyoto (WKY) and spontaneously hypertensive rats were exposed to these three exhausts at 0, 50, 150 and 500 μg/m3, 4 h/day for 2 days or 4 weeks (5 days/week). In addition, WKY rats were exposed for 1 day and responses were analyzed 0 h, 1 day or 4 days later for time-course assessment. Hematological parameters, in vitro platelet aggregation, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) markers of pulmonary injury and inflammation, ex vivo aortic ring constriction, heart and aorta mRNA markers of vasoconstriction, thrombosis and atherogenesis were analyzed. The presence of pigmented macrophages in the lung alveoli was clearly evident with all three exhausts without apparent pathology. Overall, exposure to all three exhausts produced only modest effects in most endpoints analyzed in both strains. BALF γ-glutamyl transferase (GGT) activity was the most consistent marker and was increased in both strains, primarily with B0 (B0>B100>B20). This increase was associated with only modest increases in BALF neutrophils. Small and very acute increases occurred in aorta mRNA markers of vasoconstriction and thrombosis with B100 but not B0 in WKY rats. Our comparative evaluations show modest cardiovascular and pulmonary effects at low concentrations of all exhausts: B0 causing more pulmonary injury and B100 more acute vascular effects. BALF GGT activity could serve as a sensitive biomarker of inhaled pollutants.

description: We develop the theory of left-invariant generalized pseudo-Riemannian metrics on Lie groups. Such a metric accompanied by a choice of left-invariant divergence operator gives rise to a Ricci curvature tensor and we study the corresponding Einstein equation. We compute the Ricci tensor in terms of the tensors (on the sum of the Lie algebra and its dual) encoding the Courant algebroid structure, the generalized metric and the divergence operator. The resulting expression is polynomial and homogeneous of degree two in the coefficients of the Dorfman bracket and the divergence operator with respect to a left-invariant orthonormal basis for the generalized metric. We determine all generalized Einstein metrics on three-dimensional Lie groups.

description: Topologically protected magnon surface states are highly desirable as an ideal platform to engineer low-dissipation spintronics devices. However, theoretical prediction of topological magnons in strongly correlated materials proves to be challenging because the ab initio density functional theory calculations fail to reliably predict magnetic interactions in correlated materials. Here, we present a symmetry-based approach, which predicts topological magnons in magnetically ordered crystals, upon applying external perturbations such as magnetic/electric fields and/or mechanical strains. We apply this approach to carry out an efficient search for magnetic materials in the Bilbao Crystallographic Server, where, among 198 compounds with an over 300-K transition temperature, we identify 12 magnetic insulators that support room-temperature topological magnons. They feature Weyl magnons with surface magnon arcs and magnon axion insulators with either chiral surface or hinge magnon modes, offering a route to realize energy-efficient devices based on protected surface magnons.

description: Deaths due to road traffic injuries, particularly motorcycle crashes, have increased rapidly in many African nations and context-specific strategies to improve preventative behaviors are needed. Although adhering to conspicuity measures by wearing reflective safety vests is a highly effective crash prevention strategy and mandated by law among motorcycle-taxi drivers in some African countries, actual use is currently low. We aimed to test whether eliminating cost-barriers through the provision of free reflective, fluorescent motorcycle safety vests would lead to increased utilization among a high-risk population of motorcycle-taxi drivers in Tanzania.

description: A multiplex is a collection of network layers, each representing a specific type of edges. This appears to be a genuine representation for many real-world systems. However, due to a variety of potential factors, such as limited budget and equipment, or physical impossibility, multiplex data can be difficult to observe directly. Often, only partial information on the layer structure of the system is available, whereas the remaining information is in the form of a single-layer network. In this work, we face the problem of reconstructing the hidden multiplex structure of an aggregated network from partial information. We propose an algorithm that leverages the layer-wise community structure that can be learned from partial observations to reconstruct the ground-truth topology of the unobserved part of the multiplex. The algorithm is characterized by a computational time that grows linearly with the network size. We perform a systematic study of reconstruction problems for both synthetic and real-world multiplex networks. We show that the ability of the proposed method to solve the reconstruction problem is affected by the heterogeneity of the individual layers and the similarity among the layers. On real-world networks, we observe that the accuracy of the reconstruction saturates quickly as the amount of available information increases. In genetic interaction and scientific collaboration multiplexes for example, we find that 10% of ground-truth information yields 70% accuracy, while 30% information allows for more than 90% accuracy.

description: Das Karlsruher Institut für Technologie, Department Wissenschaftskommunikation, hat zusammen mit Wissenschaft im Dialog und gefördert von der Robert Bosch Stiftung von 2017 bis 2020 im Projekt „Wissenschaft für alle“ systematisch untersucht, welche Bevölkerungsgruppen bisher nicht oder kaum von Wissenschaftskommunikation erreicht werden, warum sie nicht erreicht werden und wie man das ändern kann. Die im Rahmen eines Literaturreviews bestätigte Heterogenität und die Vielfalt der bisher nicht erreichten Gruppen macht es schwierig, diese klar zu definieren. Meist führen ein Zusammenspiel verschiedener Exklusionsfaktoren (-> Intersektionalität) bzw. ursächlich deren fehlende oder unzureichende Berücksichtigung seitens der Wissenschaftskommunikation zu einer Ausgrenzung. Daher wurde zur Systematisierung der Rechercheergebnisse in der vorliegenden Typologie der Fokus anstatt auf gesellschaftliche Gruppen auf diese Faktoren gelegt. Die Zuordnung der Faktoren zu drei Ebenen soll einen systematisierten Überblick geben, ist aber keinesfalls als Zuschreibung eines Defizits oder einer Schuld zu sehen. Die Verantwortung für die Gestaltung inklusiver Angebote liegt in allen Fällen bei den Wissenschaftsorganisationen. Dieses Wimmelbild richtet sich an Akteur*innen in der Wissenschaft und Wissenschaftskommunikation und soll zum Nachvollziehen und Reflektieren aller im Projekt identifizierten 31 Exklusionsfaktoren (mit einem * markierte Faktoren sind übergreifende Konzepte mehrerer anderer Faktoren) anregen. Die Faktoren sind den in der aufgestellten Typologie formulierten drei Kategorien zugeschrieben, aber frei in der Grafik verteilt. Die Visualisierungen zeigen beispielhafte Diskriminierungserfahrungen, Diversity-Defizite und symbolische Darstellungen von strukturellen Problemen.

description: Creating a sustainable workplace or educational setting is a challenge most institutes face. There are many factors which contribute to unstable workplaces, which ultimately lead to employee dissatisfaction, burnout and lack of commitment. Exploring the infinite game principles allows us to have sustainable organisations and workplaces that take care of their employees, and in turn, they can sustainably develop their environments (Al-Esmael et al. 2012). The research was conducted on how the infinite game principles can be used within the classroom to help exchange students feel more comfortable participating in future lectires. This resource provides teachers with a step to step guide on how they can incorporate the infonte game principles class.

description: We investigate the critical behavior and the nature of the low-temperature phase of the $O(N)$ models treating the number of field components $N$ and the dimension $d$ as continuous variables with a focus on the $d\leq 2$ and $N\leq 2$ quadrant of the $(d,N)$ plane. We precisely chart a region of the $(d,N)$ plane where the low-temperature phase is characterized by an algebraic correlation function decay similar to that of the Kosterlitz-Thouless phase but with a temperature-independent anomalous dimension $η$. We revisit the Cardy-Hamber analysis leading to a prediction concerning the nonanalytic behavior of the $O(N)$ models' critical exponents and emphasize the previously not broadly appreciated consequences of this approach in $d<2$. In particular, we discuss how this framework leads to destabilization of the long-range order in favour of the quasi long-range order in systems with $d<2$ and $N<2$. Subsequently, within a scheme of the nonperturbative renormalization group we identify the low-temperature fixed points controlling the quasi long-range ordered phase and demonstrate a collision between the critical and the low-temperature fixed points upon approaching the lower critical dimension. We evaluate the critical exponents $η(d,N)$ and $ν^{-1}(d,N)$ and demonstrate a very good agreement between the predictions of the Cardy-Hamber type analysis and the nonperturbative renormalization group in $d<2$.

description: The fourth-order lattice Gel'fand-Dikii equations in quadrilateral form are investigated. Utilizing the direct linearization approach, we present some equations of the extended lattice Gel'fand-Dikii type. These equations are related to a quartic discrete dispersion relation and can be viewed as higher-order members of the extended lattice Boussinesq type equations. The resulting lattice equations given here are in five-component form, and some of them are multi-dimensionally consistent by introducing extra equations. Lax integrability is discussed both by direct linearization scheme and also through multi-dimensional consistent property. Some reductions of the five-component lattice equations to the four-component forms are considered.

In this article, we show that when $k\ge m-1\ge 3$, $P(G,L)-P(G,k)$ is bounded below by $\left ( (k-m+1)k^{n-3}+\frac{(k-m+3)c}{3} k^{n-5}\right )\sum\limits_{uv\in E}|L(u)\setminus L(v)|$, where $c\ge \frac{(m-1)(m-3)}{8}$, and in particular, if $G$ is $K_3$-free, then $c\ge {m-2\choose 2}+2\sqrt m-3$. Consequently, $P(G,L)\ge P(G,k)$ whenever $k\ge m-1$.

A study of the impact of substituting Warfarin with Direct Oral Anticoagulants (DOAC), in Atrial Fibrillation (AF) patients over 65 years old: The Patients’ and Clinicians’ Perspectives.
Creators: name: Richards, Patricia
Publisher: name: University of Westminster
Year: 2020

description: The need for this research was identified during the researcher’s daily practice in her Haematology clinic in London. The clinic specialises in anticoagulated patients, particularly those with the condition of Atrial Fibrillation. The researcher noted that while extensive research had been undertaken into the medical issues associated with the established oral anticoagulant Warfarin, the newer medication referred to as Direct Oral Anticoagulants (DOACs) was less broadly studied. Importantly, little was known about how patients coped on a daily basis with this new treatment. Furthermore, the practical and social impact of a switch from Warfarin to a DOAC for clinical reasons had rarely been studied from the patient’s perspective. An inductive, mixed-method research study was set up comprising two questionnaires and individual interviews. A sample of 56 patients, aged 65ys and over, grouped by age and sex, were selected from the clinic. The first questionnaire was a Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), which explored the participants’ levels of stress at three time points: the switch over, then at 30 and 90 days. Concurrently a Medical Outcome Study (SF-36), a health survey was administered. Twenty of these patients were also interviewed by the researcher on two occasions, at the switch over then at 90 days. Thematic analysis was undertaken on the transcripts to identify themes across the patients’ responses. The findings showed that the switch to a DOAC had a positive impact on most of the respondents. They felt liberated from several of the constraints of taking Warfarin, for example, of not needing regular clinical monitoring so being able to travel further and more often, and eating a wider, healthier diet. The patients also reported feeling less stressed in general at the 30 day point, this was sustained over the remainder of the study period. There were some small differences between the ages, the older patients reported fewer benefits from the switch, although remaining positive about the experience. No significant difference was noted between the sexes. Patients highlighted the importance of personal resilience throughout, but that good GP support was also crucial in their continued wellbeing.

description: The governing equations and numerical solution strategy to solve porohyperelastic problems as multiscale multiphysics media are provided in this contribution. The problem starts from formulating and non-dimensionalising a Fluid-Solid Interaction (FSI) problem using Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) technique at the pore level. The resultant ALE-FSI coupled systems of PDEs are expanded and analysed using the asymptotic homogenisation technique which yields three partially novel systems of PDEs, one governing the macroscopic/effective problem supplied by two microscale problems (fluid and solid). The latter two provide the microscopic response fields whose average value is required in real-time/online form to determine the macroscale response. This is possible efficiently by training an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) as a surrogate for the Direct Numerical Solution (DNS) of the microscale solid problem. The present methodology allows for solving finite strain (multiscale) porohyperelastic problems accurately using the direct derivative of the strain energy, for the first time. Furthermore, a simple real-time output density check is introduced to achieve an optimal and reliable training dataset from DNS. A Representative Volume Element (RVE) is adopted which is followed by performing a microscale (RVE) sensitivity analysis and a multiscale confined consolidation simulation showing the importance of employing the present method when dealing with finite strain poroelastic/porohyperelastic problems.

description: In quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) insulators, the interior is insulating but electrons can travel with zero resistance along one-dimensional conducting paths known as chiral edge channels (CECs). These CECs have been predicted to be confined to the one-dimensional (1D) edges and exponentially decay in the two-dimensional (2D) bulk. In this work, we present the results of a systematic study of QAH devices fashioned in a Hall bar geometry of different widths. At the charge neutral point, the QAH effect persists in a Hall bar device with a width of only ~72 nm, implying the intrinsic decaying length of CECs is less than ~36 nm. In the electron-doped regime, we find that the Hall resistance deviates quickly from the quantized value when the sample width is less than 1 um. Our theoretical calculations suggest that the deviation from the quantized Hall resistance in narrow QAH samples originates from the interaction between two opposite CECs mediated by disorder-induced bulk states in QAH insulators, consistent with our experimental observations.

description: The information content of atomic resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) images can often be reduced to a handful of parameters describing each atomic column, chief amongst which is the column position. Neural networks (NNs) are a high performance, computationally efficient method to automatically locate atomic columns in images, which has led to a profusion of NN models and associated training datasets. We have developed a benchmark dataset of simulated and experimental STEM images and used it to evaluate the performance of two sets of recent NN models for atom location in STEM images. Both models exhibit high performance for images of varying quality from several different crystal lattices. However, there are important differences in performance as a function of image quality, and both models perform poorly for images outside the training data, such as interfaces with large difference in background intensity. Both the benchmark dataset and the models are available using the Foundry service for dissemination, discovery, and reuse of machine learning models.

description: In the United States, firearms are involved in tens of thousands of deaths and injuries each year. The magnitude of this problem prompted the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) to issue a report in 2004 detailing the strengths and limitations of existing research on the relationship between firearms and violence. In response, a multidisciplinary group of experts in the field of firearms and violence formed the National Research Collaborative on Firearm Violence. The Collaborative met for 2 days in June 2005 to (1) critically review the main findings of the NAS report and (2) define a research agenda that could fill research and data gaps and inform policy that reduces gun‐related crime, deaths and injuries. This article summarizes the Collaborative's conclusions and identifies priorities for research and funding.

description: Van der Waals (vdW) magnets are appealing candidates for realising spintronic devices that exploit current control of magnetization (e.g. switching or domain wall motion), but so far experimental demonstrations have been sparse, in part because of challenges associated with imaging the magnetization in these systems. Widefield nitrogen-vacancy (NV) microscopy allows rapid, quantitative magnetic imaging across entire vdW flakes, ideal for capturing changes in the micromagnetic structure due to an electric current. Here we use a widefield NV microscope to study the effect of current injection in thin flakes ($\sim10$nm) of the vdW ferromagnet Fe$_3$GeTe$_2$ (FGT). We first observe current-reduced coercivity on an individual domain level, where current injection in FGT causes substantial reduction in the magnetic field required to locally reverse the magnetisation. We then explore the possibility of current-induced domain-wall motion, and provide preliminary evidence for such a motion under relatively low current densities, suggesting the existence of strong current-induced torques in our devices. Our results illustrate the applicability of widefield NV microscopy to imaging spintronic phenomena in vdW magnets, highlight the possibility of efficient magnetization control by direct current injection without assistance from an adjacent conductor, and motivate further investigations of the effect of currents in FGT and other vdW magnets.
