description: Combined heat and power systems are known for their high efficiency. On the other hand, economic dispatching of these systems is very important in terms of total efficiency and reliability of the power system. The novelty of this study is to use the Filled Function Method (FFM) to solve this optimization problem in a way different from that to be found in the literature. Moreover, the Taguchi method is combined with the FFM for the first time to obtain the best initial parameters. So the proposed hybrid deterministic optimization algorithm is called the Taguchi-based Filled Function Method (TFFM). The most important advantage of the suggested TFFM is that it always gives the same result for the same inputs and all the solutions are in the feasible region. The method is applied to four different test systems and the results obtained are compared with those of recent powerful optimization algorithms. With the proposed optimization method, a significant performance increase of 5.676% was achieved.

description: This article applies the horse herd optimization (HHO) algorithm to convoluted economic dispatch (ED) problems. HHO mimics the social behaviour of horses of different ages using six significant traits: grazing, hierarchy, sociability, imitation, defence mechanism and roam. The efficacy of the HHO method is demonstrated on five different ED problems, namely, valve-point effects, prohibited feasible area, ramp rate limits and multiple fuels. The simulated outcomes of the recommended method are comparable to those obtained by established artificial intelligence methods. Comparative and statistical analyses demonstrate that the proposed HHO algorithm performs well and can produce superior results to some other well-known and established algorithms, namely, differential evolution (DE), success-history based adaptive differential evolution with linear population size reduction (L-SHADE) and covariance matrix adaptation–evolution strategy (CMA-ES).

description: Bei der Notgrabung einer kaiserzeitlichen Siedlung am Stadtrand von Hildesheim (Hildesheim-Bavenstedt) sind auch Reste der »Bernburger Kultur« geborgen worden. Dabei handelt es sich um Siedlungsspuren sowie um mehrere Hocker gräber. Unter diesen befindet sich ein Doppelgrab mit zwei durch Pfeilschüsse getöteten Menschen. Ein dritter ist hingegen mit einem Steinbeil erschlagen worden. Die Fundstelle liegt außerhalb des eigentlichen Verbreitungs gebietes dieser Kultur. Ihre Vorpostenlage lässt zusammen mit den anthropologischen und archäologischen Befunden den Versuch einer Landnahme durch Angehörige der »Bernburger Kultur« in der Region um Hildesheim erkennen, der offenkundig am Widerstand der Altsiedlern gescheitert ist.
description: During a rescue excavation of a settlement at the outskirts of Hildesheim (Hildesheim-Bavenstedt) dating to the Roman Principate remains of the »Bernburg Culture« were discovered. Settlement features and several crouched burials were dug out which include a double burial of two individuals who were killed by arrows. A third individual had been slain by a stone axe. The site is situated outside the actual distribution area of this culture. Its location, the anthropological and archaeological data indicate an attempted conquest of land around Hildesheim by members of the »Bernburg Culture« which was prevented by the local inhabitants.

The position detector is composed on 6 layers of 3D silicon detectors readout by FE-I4 chips developped for ATLAS. The fast timing detector is built from a quartz-based Cerenkov detector coupled to a microchannel plate photomultiplier tube, followed by the electronic elements that amplify, measure, and record the time of the event along with a stabilized reference clock signal, ensuring a time resolution of 10-15 picoseconds.

description: In this paper we fully describe functions generating the infinite totally nonnegative Hurwitz matrices. In particular, we generalize the well-known result by Asner and Kemperman on the total nonnegativity of the Hurwitz matrices of real stable polynomials. An alternative criterion for entire functions to generate a Pólya frequency sequence is also obtained. The results are based on a connection between a factorization of totally nonnegative matrices of the Hurwitz type and the expansion of Stieltjes meromorphic functions into Stieltjes continued fractions (regular $C$-fractions with positive coefficients).

description: We investigate near the point of glass transition the expansion of the free energy corresponding to the generalized Sherrington--Kirkpatrick model with arbitrary diagonal operators U standing instead of Ising spins. We focus on the case when U is an operator with broken reflection symmetry. Such a consideration is important for understanding the behavior of spin-glass-like phases in a number of real physical systems, mainly in orientational glasses in mixed molecular crystals which present just the case. We build explicitly a full replica symmetry breaking (FRSB) solution of the equations for the orientational glass order parameters when the non-symmetric part of U is small. This particular result presents a counterexample in the context of usually adopted conjecture of the absence of FRSB solution in systems with no reflection symmetry.

description: We address the question of distance record-setting by a random walker in the presence of measurement error, $δ$, and additive noise, $γ$ and show that the mean number of (upper) records up to $n$ steps still grows universally as $< R_n> \sim n^{1/2}$ for large $n$ for all jump distributions, including Lévy flights, and for all $δ$ and $γ$. In contrast to the universal growth exponent of 1/2, the pace of record setting, measured by the pre-factor of $n^{1/2}$, depends on $δ$ and $γ$. In the absence of noise ($γ=0$), the pre-factor $S(δ)$ is evaluated explicitly for arbitrary jump distributions and it decreases monotonically with increasing $δ$ whereas, in case of perfect measurement $(δ=0)$, the corresponding pre-factor $T(γ)$ increases with $γ$. Our analytical results are supported by extensive numerical simulations and qualitatively similar results are found in two and three dimensions.

description: In the broadest sense, technology, which we can define as the knowledge of production, is an important component of social life. There is a close and complex link between technology and society. However, all segments of the society do not have equal access to technology, and in this sense, the neutrality of technology cannot be mentioned. Dominant social classes that hold power can use technology as a means of domination over other social classes. As a matter of fact, there is a similar situation in capitalist society. The capitalist class has used technology effectively to ensure and secure capital accumulation, as seen in the example of industrial revolutions. The developments in information and communication technologies since the 1970s should also be evaluated in this context. One of the key elements of the flexible accumulation model, which was introduced as a solution to the capital accumulation crisis experienced in this period, is information and communication technologies. With the possibilities offered by information and communication technologies, production has begun to digitalize and has gained the opportunity to overcome the limitations of space and time in the field of production and capital production. Capitalism has begun to digitalize and as a result, a new form of labor, ‘digital labor’ has begun to emerge. It is predicted that this digitalization process will accelerate with Industry 4.0, which is still in its formation stage; and as a result, the number of workers in the form of digital labor will increase even more. A similar estimation can be made for digital labor in Turkey. Our study aims to analyze digital labor in terms of technology, society and capital relations.

description: We derive the distribution of interferometric visibility for a source exhibiting strong diffractive scintillation, with particular attention to spectral resolution at or near the Nyquist limit. We also account for arbitrary temporal averaging, intrinsic variability within the averaging time, and the possibility of spatially-extended source emission. We demonstrate that the interplay between scintillation and self-noise induces several remarkable features, such as a broad "skirt" in the visibility distribution. Our results facilitate the interpretation of interferometric observations of pulsars at meter and decimeter wavelengths.

description: Wildlife trail cameras, or “camera traps”, have become an effective tool in ecological research and conservation management across a variety of ecosystems to monitor a wide range of taxa. Camera trapping allows for extended survey time in traditionally hard-to-survey environments and has greatly increased our ability to detect cryptic species. One question ecologists commonly face is how much sampling effort is required to accurately estimate community composition. Despite the abundant literature that uses camera trapping techniques, few studies have occurred in coastal saltmarsh ecosystems. These ecosystems are being lost at a rapid rate from land conversion, pollution, and other anthropogenic stressors, and there is a critical need to better understand the role of coastal ecosystems as wildlife habitats across the globe. Here we analyzed camera trap data from 10 local coastal study plots in Hampton Roads, Virginia. Cameras collected data two weeks a month from May 2022 to Jan 2023, 24 hours per day, taking one photo per minute throughout their deployments. A total of 2.5 million photographs were taken over the study period. Photos were examined for all bird and mammal activity, identifying animals to the species level. Across all sites, we observed 25 different species ranging from migratory shorebirds (e.g., Spotted Sandpiper) to large mammals (e.g., White-tailed Deer). We used a rarefaction analysis to evaluate the accumulated number of detected species across days deployed. Our results demonstrate that the optimum sampling effort needed to achieve 90% detection is 39.6 camera-days (95% Confidence Intervals from 6 to 73) across all sites. Our findings suggest that camera traps are an effective technique in coastal environments when targeting medium to larger-sized terrestrial vertebrates such as wading birds and mammals. These results have broader implications for coastal restoration monitoring and have the potential to inform project monitoring methodology and design.

description: By the classical Martingale Representation Theorem, replication of random vectors can be achieved via stochastic integrals or solutions of stochastic differential equations. We introduce a new approach to replication of random vectors via adapted differentiable processes generated by a controlled ordinary differential equation. We found that the solution of this replication problem exists and is not unique. This leads to a new optimal control problem: find a replicating process that is minimal in an integral norm. We found an explicit solution of this problem. Possible applications to portfolio selection problems and to bond pricing models are suggested.

description: In the context of the random first order transition theory we use an extended mode coupling theory of the glass transition that includes activated events to account for spatiotemporal structures in aging and rejuvenating glasses. We numerically solve fluctuating dynamical equations for mobility and fictive temperature fields which capture both mobility generation through activated events and facilitation effects. Upon rejuvenating, a source of high mobility at a glass surface initiates a growth front of mobility which propagates into the unstable low mobility region. The speed of the front is consistent with experiments on the rejuvenation of stable glasses, which "melt" from their surface.

description: The formation and local symmetry of spin-lattice polaron has been investigated semiclassically in the planar Holstein t-J-like models within the exact diagonalization method. Due to the interplay of strong correlations and electron-lattice interaction, the doped hole may either move freely or lead to the localized spin-lattice distortion and form a Holstein polaron. The formation of polaron breaks the translational symmetry by suppression of antiferromagnetic correlations and inducement of ferromagnetic correlations locally. Moreover, the breaking of local rotational symmetry around the polaron has been shown. The ground state is generically a parity singlet and the first excited state maybe a parity doublet. Further consequences of the density of states spectra for comparison with future STM experiments are discussed.

RUOLO DEL CANALE HCN4 NEL SISTEMA DI CONDUZIONE CARDIACO
Creators: name: LIU, SHENG
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2013

description: Cardiac pacemaking is generated and modulated by the coordinated action of several processes. In mammals heart rhythm originates from specialized myocytes of the sinoatrial node (SAN) due to the presence of the spontaneous diastolic depolarization. The If (?funny? or pacemaker) current, whose molecular constituents are the Hyperpolarization-activated Cyclic Nucleotide-gated (HCN) channels, and mainly HCN4, is considered to play the most important role for the maintenance of cardiac automaticity. Most of the data on the role of this current were collected by in vitro experiments and only recently initial data on the role of If in intact animal have become available in our laboratory thanks to the knockout mouse technology, applied to the Hcn4 gene. We therefore set to further investigate the role of the HCN4 channels in the adult by creating a transgenic mouse line in which the Hcn4 gene can be deleted in a conditional and inducible manner, using the Cre/LoxP system. We recorded a reduced contribution of the If current evaluated in vivo by telemetric ECG recordings, and in vitro by single cell electrophysiology. In our ci-HCN4 knockout mice, deletion of HCN4 consistently leads the progressive development of severe bradycardia (~50% reduction) and AV block which always progressed to heart arrest and death of the animals in about 5 days; in control mice the same experiments did not result any rate modification or premature death. In ciHCN4-KO animals the residual If was also sensitive to ?-AR modulation, and the permanence of rate response to ?-AR stimulation was observed both in vivo and in vitro, but the ?-AR response of ciHCN4-KO animals was not able to reach the maximum value. Similar results were obtained by means of pharmacologic selective block using the If-specific reducing agent Ivabradine. The finding that If removal leads to AV conduction block was novel and the exact role of the If current in this contest still requires careful analysis and understanding. We therefore set to carry out an initial evaluation of the electrical properties of single cells isolated from ciHCN4-KO AVN and compare them to those of wild type AVN cells: cells isolated from ciHCN4-KO AV nodes showed a decrease in the If current density, and normal kinetics. In conclusion our results indicate that the functional presence of the HCN4 protein in the SAN and AVN of adult mice is required to maintain the heart rate to levels compatible with life.

description: Abbiamo studiato una strategia per migliorare i sintomi motori di topi che avevano ricevuto lesioni con una neurotossina specifica, MPTP, un modello murino di morbo di Parkinson, attraverso il trapianto di precursori cellulari post mortem nello striato. I precursori cellulari neurali post-mortem (PM-NPC) sono stati isolati dalla zona subventricolare (SVZ) dei ventricoli laterali del topo, coltivati in vitro e la loro capacit� di differenziarsi � stata studiata valutando l'espressione di diversi marcatori neurali. PM-NPC differenziano in neuroni e in gran parte a differenza di molti altri precursori, mantengono la capacit� di migrazione e integrazione, quando trapiantate nel cervello adulto. Abbiamo eseguito il trapianto di PM-NPC nei gangli della base di topi MPTP lesionati. PM-NPC trapiantate sopravvivono, differenziano e si integrano nel circuito di accoglienza, e modificano il comportamento motorio nei topi MPTP lesionati. I nostri dati suggeriscono che il trapianto di PM-NPC nel corpo striato � un approccio promettente per investigare i potenziali benefici di rimodellamento dei circuiti dei gangli basali nelle malattie neurodegenerative.

description: The present dissertation intends to describe how the legislation regarding the ?amministratore di sostegno?,as interpreted by some judges, interacts with the constitutional provisions concerning the right to self-determination and more specifically the right to self-therapy. The research is organized in three chapters. The first one analyzes the informed consent as expression of the right of self-determination and the protection of this right for incapable persons. The second chapter sets out to identify the main features of the discipline of the ?amministrazione di sostegno? with particular regard to those interpretations that extend the powers of the ?amministratore di sostegno? to the informed consent given on behalf of a third person. The last chapter is structured in three parts: the first one tries to point out the limits of a recostruction ex post of the incapable's will throught the analysis of a recent case that involves the "amministratore di sostegno".The second part examines in details the most emblematic examples in which the role of the ?amministratore di sostegno? may be involved in the jurisprudence application as a possible substitute of the living will. The last part of the present chapter aims to examine the role of the ?amministratore di sostegno? within the living will bill that is going to be adopted by Italian Parliament.

description: Using the $B_s$ meson wave function extracted from non-leptonic $B_s$ decays, we evaluate the short distance contribution of rare decays $B_s\to \ell^+\ell^-γ(\ell=e,μ)$ in the standard model, including all the possible diagrams. We focus on the contribution from four-quark operators which are not taken into account properly in previous researches. We found that the contribution is large, leading to the branching ratio of $B_s\to \ell^+\ell^-γ$ being nearly enhanced by a factor 3 and up to $1.7\times 10^{-8}$. The predictions for such processes can be tested in the LHC-b and B factories in near future.

description: The Jamming of soft spheres at zero temperature, the J-point, has been extensively studied both numerically and theoretically and can now be considered as a safe location in the space of models, where a street lamp has been lit up. However, a recent work by Ikeda et al, 2013 reveals that, in the Temperature/Packing fraction parameter space, experiments on colloids are actually rather far away from the scaling regime illuminated by this lamp. Is it that the J-point has little to say about real system? What about granular media? Such a-thermal, frictional, systems are a-priori even further away from the idealized case of thermal soft spheres. In the past ten years, we have systematically investigated horizontally shaken grains in the vicinity of the Jamming transition. We discuss the above issue in the light of very recent experimental results. First, we demonstrate that the contact network exhibits a remarkable dynamics, with strong heterogeneities, which are maximum at a packing fraction phi star, distinct and smaller than the packing fraction phi dagger, where the average number of contact per particle starts to increase. The two cross-overs converge at point J in the zero mechanical excitation limit. Second, a careful analysis of the dynamics on time scales ranging from a minute fraction of the vibration cycle to several thousands of cycles allows us to map the behaviors of this shaken granular system onto those observed for thermal soft spheres and demonstrate that some light of the J-point street-lamp indeed reaches the granular universe.

description: The Rossby wave instability, associated with density bumps in differentially rotating discs, may arise in several different astrophysical contexts, such as galactic or protoplanetary discs. While the linear phase of the instability has been well studied, the nonlinear evolution and especially the saturation phase remain poorly understood. In this paper, we test the non-linear saturation mechanism analogous to that derived for wave-particle interaction in plasma physics. To this end we perform global numerical simulations of the evolution of the instability in a two-dimensional disc. We confirm the physical mechanism for the instability saturation and show that the maximum amplitude of vorticity can be estimated as twice the linear growth rate of the instability. We provide an empirical fitting formula for this growth rate for various parameters of the density bump. We also investigate the effects of the azimuthal mode number of the instability and the energy leakage in the spiral density waves. Finally, we show that our results can be extrapolated to 3D discs.

description: Fibrosis is a chronic inflammation caused by the loss of innate compensational mechanisms. Naringin (NR) is a flavonoid with antineoplastic and anti-inflammatory effects. Here, we aimed to investigate the antifibrotic effects of NR and underlying mechanisms in a Hypochlorous acid (HOCl)-induced mouse model of skin fibrosis. A total of 24 six-week-old female BALB/c mice were randomly allocated into five groups: HOCl, Sham, PBS, HOCl + NR and DMSO and selected skin regions were treated for 6 weeks, until sacrifice. The histopathologic and collagenesis of skin resections were analyzed using H&E and PR staining. The mRNA levels of COL1, COL3 and αSMA genes were quantified. Serum samples were also used to evaluate TGF-β levels and LDH activity. HOCl could increase the relative collagen content, while NR administration on HOCl-treated biopsies decreased collagenesis. COL1, COL3 and αSMA mRNA levels were significantly increased among HOCl-treated skin samples, while NR treatment could decrease these mRNA levels of genes to the extent equal to the levels in the Sham group. Similarly, Naringin-treated samples could decrease TGF-β levels. We demonstrated that Naringin could exert protective effects against fibrotic complications of HOCL in skin tissue in vivo, by reducing the collagenesis and decreasing the levels of fibrosis-associated genes.

description: In an attempt to understand a recently discovered torque anomaly in quantum field theory with boundaries, we calculate the Casimir energy and torque of a scalar field subject to Dirichlet boundary conditions on an annular sector defined by two coaxial cylinders intercut by two planes through the axis. In this model the particularly troublesome divergence at the cylinder axis does not appear, but new divergences associated with the curved boundaries are introduced. All the divergences associated with the volume, the surface area, the corners, and the curvature are regulated by point separation either in the direction of the axis of the cylinder or in the (Euclidean) time; the full divergence structure is isolated, and the remaining finite energy and torque are extracted. Formally, only the regulator based on axis splitting yields the expected balance between energy and torque. Because of the logarithmic curvature divergences, there is an ambiguity in the linear dependence of the energy on the wedge angle; if the terms constant and linear in this angle are removed by a process of renormalization, the expected torque-energy balance is preserved.

description: We present a study of a comparison of spin distributions of subhaloes found associated with a host halo. The subhaloes are found within two cosmological simulation families of Milky Way-like galaxies, namely the Aquarius and GHALO simulations. These two simulations use different gravity codes and cosmologies. We employ ten different substructure finders, which span a wide range of methodologies from simple overdensity in configuration space to full 6-d phase space analysis of particles.We subject the results to a common post-processing pipeline to analyse the results in a consistent manner, recovering the dimensionless spin parameter. We find that spin distribution is an excellent indicator of how well the removal of background particles (unbinding) has been carried out. We also find that the spin distribution decreases for substructure the nearer they are to the host halo's, and that the value of the spin parameter rises with enclosed mass towards the edge of the substructure. Finally subhaloes are less rotationally supported than field haloes, with the peak of the spin distribution having a lower spin parameter.

description: A weak topological insulator (WTI) bears, generally, an even number of Dirac cones on its surface; they are susceptible of doubling, while on the surface of a certain orientation it shows no Dirac cone. On this "dark" surface of a WTI, we predict the existence of a single pair of isolated 1D perfectly conducting channels that forms either a closed loop or a segment of a line. The former is associated typically with a single atomic-layer-thick island formed on the dark surface, while the latter is shown to be the consequence of a pair of crystal (screw) dislocations terminating on the dark surface.

description: Traditional products working independently are no longer sufficient, since threats are continually gaining in complexity, diversity and performance; In order to proactively block such threats we need more integrated information security solution. To achieve this objective, we will analyze a real-world security platform, and focus on some key components Like, NAC, Firewall, and IPS/IDS then study their interaction in the perspective to propose a new security posture that coordinate and share security information between different network security components, using a central policy server that will be the NAC server or the PDP (the Policy Decision Point), playing an orchestration role as a central point of control. Finally we will conclude with potential research paths that will impact NAC technology evolution.

description: Passive chipless wireless sensors have gained great attention in Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) applications, inventory tracking, and structural health monitoring, as they offer a prospective low-cost, scalable alternative to the state-of-the-art active sensors. While the popularity and demand for chipless sensors are on the rise, their applications are limited to low-noise environments and their caliber as low-cost, scalable devices has not been explored to a successful degree in challenging domains, such as precision agriculture, healthcare, and food packaging. Size, cost of materials, and complexity of the manufacturing process are the main obstacles to progress in the large-scale production of chipless sensors for practical applications.
 Conventional manufacturing processes, such as photolithography, are costly, cumbersome, and time intensive. While additive manufacturing techniques, such as printing technologies, have circumvented some of these challenges, printing techniques require costly inks and complex post-processing steps, such as drying and sintering, which limit their large-scale utilization. To overcome these challenges, this dissertation focuses on investigating the possibility of utilizing laser processing of conventional metalized films and polymers to develop cost-effective chipless sensors. This Scalable Laser Assisted Manufacturing (SLAM) process offers a platform for large-scale roll-to-roll production of high-resolution sensors for precision agriculture, healthcare, and food packaging applications.
 In this pursuit, the first study explores combining the SLAM process with 3D printing to develop a miniaturized, biodegradable, chipless sensor for soil moisture monitoring. In the second study, the SLAM process is further explored in the development of metalized stickers for healthcare applications focusing on urine bag management and early risk detection of urinary tract infections. In the third study, the capability of the SLAM process to form moisture-sensitive metal nanoparticles as a co-product of metal patterning is harnessed to develop a chipless humidity sensor. The SLAM process is further expanded in the fourth study by functionalizing metalized films with stimuli-responsive polymers to achieve specificity in detecting unique biomarkers of food spoilage. The SLAM platform described in this work opens up new avenues toward processing metalized fabric for the future of wearable electronics and implementing multi-functional sensors for precision agriculture.
