Creators: name: Hüsch (Ed.), Sebastian
Publisher: name: Francke
Year: 2020

description: I present and discuss recent work in analytic philosophy of religion on apophaticism and divine ineffability. I focus on three questions: how can we call God ineffable without contradicting ourselves? How can we refer to an ineffable God? What is the point of talking about an ineffable God?

description: We present an extension of System F with higher-order context-free session types. The mixture of functional types with session types has proven to be a challenge for type equivalence formalization: whereas functional type equivalence is often rule-based, session type equivalence usually follows a semantic approach based on bisimulations. We propose a unifying approach that handles the equivalence of functional and session types together. We present three notions of type equivalence: a syntactic rule-based version, a semantic bisimulation-based version, and an algorithmic version by reduction to the problem of bisimulation of simple grammars. We prove that the three notions coincide and derive a decidability result for the type equivalence problem of higher-order context-free session types.

description: In this work, different proportions of N-doped carbon quantum dots/porous Co3O4 (NCQDs/p-Co3O4) NCQDs/Co3O4 composite photocatalysts were prepared by a simple self-assembly method. It was demonstrated by a series of characterizations that 50% NCQDs/Co3O4 has a good visible light response and low electrochemical impedance. The photocatalytic degradation of TC was investigated by the 50% NCQDs/p-Co3O4 composite photocatalyst, and the results showed that the degradation effect of TC reached 81.2% within 120 min. The higher photocatalytic activity of 50% NCQDs/p-Co3O4 was analyzed probably because NCQDs can improve the separation efficiency of photogenerated electron–hole pairs and p-Co3O4 can provide a larger specific surface area and thus has more active sites. This study provides a new strategy for improving the photodegradation activity of Co3O4 photocatalysts.

description: We extend the theory behind the Faial tool-chain, which can soundly prove that CUDA programs (aka, kernels) are data-race free using specialized behavioral types called memory access protocols (MAPs). In this paper we extend the theory of MAPs to characterize kernels for which alarms can be identified as true alarms. We introduce a core calculus for CUDA, which we named BabyCUDA, and a behavioral type system for it. We show that if a BabyCUDA program can be assigned a MAP, then any alarm raised by Faial for this program is a true alarm.

description: We study gravitational-wave production from bubble dynamics (bubble collisions and sound waves) during a cosmic first-order phase transition with an analytic approach. We first propose modeling the system with the thin-wall approximation but without the envelope approximation often adopted in the literature, in order to take bubble propagation after collisions into account. The bubble walls in our setup are considered as modeling the scalar field configuration and/or the bulk motion of the fluid. We next write down analytic expressions for the gravitational-wave spectrum, and evaluate them with numerical methods. It is found that, in the long-lasting limit of the collided bubble walls, the spectrum grows from $\propto f^3$ to $\propto f^1$ in low frequencies, showing a significant enhancement compared to the one with the envelope approximation. It is also found that the spectrum saturates in the same limit, indicating a decrease in the correlation of the energy-momentum tensor at late times. We also discuss the implications of our results to gravitational-wave production both from bubble collisions (scalar dynamics) and sound waves (fluid dynamics).

description: A novel platform of a polydiacetylene combined with rhodamine B (PDA-Rho) colorimetric chemosensor array was prepared from a diacetylene monomer and rhodamine B derivative. Rhodamine B derivative as the ion-recognition element was embedded in the polydiacetylene matrix. To fabricate chemosensor, diacetylene monomer connected rhodamine B derivatives (DA-Rho) was coated onto a filter paper surface via drop-casting technique and transformed to polydiacetylene by polymerization through ultraviolet (UV) irradiation. From the result, PDA-Rhoen exhibited high sensitivity and selectivity for Au3+ and could be monitored directly by naked eyes providing a fast, portable and easy-to-use as a molecular device in the real system. The DFT calculation results showed a stable complex between PDA-Rho and Au3+. We believe that, this method offers a sensitive and accurate process for Au3+ ion detection in real environmental and biological applications.

description: New biomarkers of progression in patients with prostate cancer (PCa) are needed to improve their classification and clinical management. This systematic review investigated the relationship between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and PCa progression. A keyword search was performed in Pubmed, EMBASE, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane for publications between 2007 and 2022. We included articles with adjusted and significant associations, a median follow-up greater than or equal to 24 months, patients taken to radical prostatectomy (RP) as a first therapeutic option, and results presented based on biochemical recurrence (BCR). In the 27 articles selected, 73 SNPs were identified in 39 genes, organized in seven functional groups. Of these, 50 and 23 SNPs were significantly associated with a higher and lower risk of PCa progression, respectively. Likewise, four haplotypes were found to have a significant association with PCa progression. This article highlights the importance of SNPs as potential markers of PCa progression and their possible functional relationship with some genes relevant to its development and progression. However, most variants were identified only in cohorts from two countries; no additional studies reproduce these findings.

description: Drones are revolutionizing earth system observations, and are increasingly used for high resolution monitoring of water quality. The objective of this research was to test whether drone-based multispectral imagery could predict important water quality parameters in an ICOLL (intermittently closed and opened lake or lagoon). Three water quality sampling campaigns were undertaken, measuring temperature, salinity, pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), chlorophyll (CHL), turbidity, total suspended sediments (TSS), coloured dissolved organic matter (CDOM), green algae, crytophyta, diatoms, bluegreen algae and total algal concentrations. DistilM statistical analyses were conducted to reveal the bands accounting for the most variation across all water quality data, then linear correlations between specific band/band ratios and individual water quality parameters were performed. DistilM analyses revealed the NIR band accounted for most variation in March, the Green band in April and the RE band in May, and showed that the most important contributors varied significantly among campaigns and variables. Significant linear correlations with R2 > 0.4 were obtained for eleven of the water quality parameters tested, with the strongest correlation obtained for CHL and the green band (R2 0.72). The relative importance of predictor bands and observed water quality parameters varied temporally. We conclude that drones with a multispectral sensor can produce useful “snapshot” prediction maps for a range of water quality parameters, such as chlorophyll, bluegreen algae and dissolved oxygen. However, a single model was insufficient to reproduce the temporal variation of water parameters in dynamic estuarine systems.

description: Molecular clouds (MCs) in galaxies are complex places with many phases. It is, therefore, essential to study the physics and kinematics of the MCs using multiple emission lines. We probe the physics of the molecular gas and dust in the nearby spiral galaxy NGC 7331 using multiple emission lines, i.e. carbon monoxide (CO), 24μm and far-ultraviolet (FUV) data. 14 positions were targeted across the gaseous disc of NGC 7331. We found that CO intensities, gas mass, gas surface density, and 24μm-to-FUV flux ratio (i.e. the extinction) increase up to about 40 arcsec from the centre and then start to decrease. There is a positive correlation between most of the pair of parameters studied (except FUV flux density). The beam-averaged physical parameters on the eastern side of the disc show higher median values than those on the western side. Our results indicate that the star formation activity, stellar populations and overall physical properties of the ISM are different on either side of the disc. Our study provides notable insights into the complex nature of the interstellar medium (ISM) in galaxies and has the potential to provoke future higher-resolution studies yet to come.

description: Many single-cell observables are highly heterogeneous. A part of this heterogeneity stems from age-related phenomena: the fact that there is a nonuniform distribution of cells with different ages. This has led to a renewed interest in analytic methodologies including use of the "von Foerster equation" for predicting population growth and cell age distributions. Here we discuss how some of the most popular implementations of this machinery assume a strong condition on the ergodicity of the cell cycle duration ensemble. We show that one common definition for the term ergodicity, "a single individual observed over many generations recapitulates the behavior of the entire ensemble" is implied by the other, "the probability of observing any state is conserved across time and over all individuals" in an ensemble with a fixed number of individuals but that this is not true when the ensemble is growing. We further explore the impact of generational correlations between cell cycle durations on the population growth rate. Finally, we explore the "growth rate gain" - the phenomenon that variations in the cell cycle duration lead to an improved population-level growth rate - in this context. We highlight that, fundamentally, this effect is due to asymmetric division.

description: There is increasing interest in membrane-aerated biofilm reactors (MABRs), due to their energy efficiency and ability to intensify wastewater treatment. While MABR membranes play a key role, supporting biofilms and transferring O2, little research has addressed how membrane types impact MABR performance. This research compared two types of membranes used in commercial MABRs: a silicone hollow-fiber membrane and a “micromembrane cord,” consisting of an inert cord surrounded by fine proprietary polymeric membranes. We used single-membrane MABRs to determine the oxygen mass transfer coefficient, Km, and explore biofilm development. The silicone membrane had a measured Km of 2.6 m/d, and the micromembrane cord had an apparent Km of 1 m/d. Pure MABR bundles (only biofilm) were operated with synthetic wastewater, and hybrid MABRs (suspended biomass and biofilm) with real wastewater, to explore behavior for a wide range of conditions. The maximum ammonium oxidation fluxes with synthetic wastewater were 7.8 gN/m2d for the silicone membrane and 4.3 gN/m2d for the micromembrane cord. However, at bulk NH4+ concentrations below 5 mgN/L, the ammonium oxidation fluxes were similar. A previously published MABR model effectively captured the behavior of each membrane. Nitrification fluxes with real wastewater were lower than synthetic wastewater, likely because of the presence of chemical oxygen demand (COD). Although the ammonium oxidation fluxes were higher for the silicone membranes for a given air supply pressure, the fluxes for the micromembrane cord could be increased using higher intramembrane air pressures. Overall, this research helped understand the impact of membrane types on nitrification fluxes.

description: The use of adjuvant first-generation epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKIs) in patients with resected EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains controversial. Therefore, we performed a systematic review with meta-analysis to investigate the overall survival (OS) in patients with resected NSCLC. Relevant studies were identified from the PubMed and EMBASE databases, and pooled hazard risks were obtained by random-effects models. Three prospective phase III and one phase II randomized controlled trials were identified, including a total of 839 patients who had undergone resection of EGFR-sensitive mutation in our analysis, 429 of whom received adjuvant first-generation TKIs therapy. For all patients with complete resection, adjuvant first-generation TKIs therapy was associated with improved disease-free survival (DFS) [hazard ratio (HR): 0.50, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.30–0. 82] but not OS (HR: 0.78, 95% CI: 0.48–1.27) compared with adjuvant chemotherapy. In addition, we reconstructed the OS curves of the ADJUVANT and IMPACT studies, and the pooled 3- and 5-year OS rates of stage II-III patients in the TKI group and chemotherapy group were 80% vs. 79% and 66% vs. 64%, respectively. We also reconstructed the DFS curves based on the ADJUVANT, IMPACT, and EVIDENCE studies, and the pooled 1-, 3- and 5-year DFS rates of stage II-III patients in the TKI group and chemotherapy group were 87% vs. 70%, 49% vs. 37% and 28% vs. 29%, respectively. In patients with completely resected EGFR-mutant NSCLC, adjuvant first-generation TKIs may delay disease progression but still fail to improve long-term survival compared with conventional chemotherapy.

description: The aim of this paper is to generalize the notion of conformal blocks to the situation in which the Lie algebra they are attached to is not defined over a field, but depends on covering data of curves. The result will be a sheaf of conformal blocks on the Hurwitz stack parametrizing Galois coverings of curves. Many features of the classical sheaves of conformal blocks are proved to hold in this more general setting, in particular the fusion rules, the propagation of vacua and the WZW connection.

description: This paper focuses on a newly developed transparent nADPCMB MLT speech coding algorithm. Our coder first decomposes the narrowband speech signal in subbands, a non linear ADPCM scheme is then performed in each subband. The signal subband decomposition is piloted by the equivalent Modulated Lapped Transform (MLT) filter bank. The novelty of this algorithm is the non linear approach, based on neural networks, to subband prediction coding. We have evaluated the performance of the nADPCMB MLT coding algorithm with a session of formal listening based on the five grade impairment scale standardized within ITU - T Recommendation P.800.

In addition, we propose a simple method based on a non-linearity in order to obtain a synthetic wide band signal from a narrow band signal.

description: A meta-analysis was designed and conducted to estimate the effect of tumoral microvessel density (MVD) on the survival of patients with osteosarcoma. There was no difference between high and low MVD regarding the overall (OS) and disease-free (DFS) survival. Low MVD tumors displayed a lower DFS at the third year of follow-up. Although primary metastases did not affect the mean MVD measurements, tumors with a good chemotherapy response had a higher MVD value. Although no significant differences between tumoral MVD, OS and DFS were found, good adjuvant therapy responders had a significant higher vascularization pattern.

description: We have analyzed the kinematics of open star clusters (OSCs) with the proper motions and distances calculated by Hao et al. based on Gaia EDR3 data. The mean line-of-sight velocities are known for a number of clusters from this list. We show that the Galactic rotation parameters determined from samples of OSCs with various ages are in good agreement between themselves. The most interesting results have been obtained from a sample of 967 youngest OSCs with a mean age of 18 Myr. In particular, we have found the following parameters of the angular velocity of Galactic rotation using only their proper motions and distances: $Ω_0 =28.01\pm0.15$ km s$^{-1}$ kpc$^{-1},$ $Ω^{'}_0=-3.674\pm0.040$ km s$^{-1}$ kpc$^{-2},$ and $Ω^{''}_0=0.565\pm0.023$ km s$^{-1}$ kpc$^{-3}$. The circular rotation velocity of the solar neighborhood around the Galactic center here is $V_0=226.9\pm3.1$ km s$^{-1}$ for the adopted Galactocentric distance of the Sun $R_0=8.1\pm0.1$ kpc. The parameters of the spiral density wave have been determined from the space velocities of 233 young clusters. The amplitudes of the radial and tangential velocity perturbations produced by the spiral density wave are $f_R=9.1\pm0.8$ km s$^{-1}$ and $f_θ=4.6\pm1.2$ km s$^{-1}$, respectively; the perturbation wavelengths are $λ_R=3.3\pm0.5$ kpc and $λ_θ=2.6\pm0.6$ kpc for the the adopted four-armed spiral pattern. The Sun's phase in the spiral density wave has been found to be $(χ_\odot)_R\approx-180^\circ$.

description: Contaminants from cooling water waste (CWW) generated by industries represent an environmental hazard if discharged into aquatic bodies and soil without treatment. Most treatment strategies are energy-demanding and costly; hence, low-cost and sustainable treatment alternative technologies are needed. The present study proposed cyanobacteria culture as a low-cost biological method to treat cooling water waste (CWW) while simultaneously producing carbohydrates. For this purpose, CWW from a cooling tower was evaluated in different dilutions with domestic wastewater (DW) (DW25% -CWW75%, DW50% -CWW50%, DW25% -CWW75%, DW100%, and CWW100%) (v/v). The CWW provided a high content of inorganic carbon and low content of N and P, which resulted in a high C/N ratio promoting a fast carbohydrate accumulation but low biomass production. In contrast, cultures with higher DW concentrations achieved similar results in 14 days. The best results were obtained with DW25% -CWW75%, achieving up to 52 ± 18% carbohydrate content on day 8, with the highest biomass concentration of 1.7 ± 0.12 g L-1 on day 14. This culture removed >94% of TAN, N-NO3- and P-PO43-, and 84 ± 10.82% of COD. This strategy could be a promising approach to treating CWW and DW from the same industry and producing value-added products and bioenergy.

description: Nonylphenol ethoxylate (NPE) is an endocrine-disrupting chemical that has bioaccumulative, persistent and toxic characteristics in different environmental matrices and is difficult to remove in sewage treatment plants. In this study, the effects of the initial concentration of NPE (0.2 ± 0.03 - 3.0 ± 0.02 mg.L-1) and ethanol (73.9 ± 5.0-218.6 ± 10.6 mg.L-1) were investigated using factorial design. Assays were carried out in anaerobic batch reactors, using the Zinder basal medium, yeast extract (200 mg.L-1), vitamin solution and sodium bicarbonate (10% v/v). The optimal conditions were 218.56 mg.L-1 of ethanol and 1596.51 µg.L-1 of NPE, with 92% and 88% of NPE and organic matter removal, respectively, and methane yield (1689.8 ± 59.6 mmol) after 450 h of operation. In this condition, bacteria potentially involved in the degradation of this surfactant were identified in greater relative abundance, such as Acetoanaerobium (1.68%), Smithella (1.52%), Aminivibrio (0.91%), Petrimonas (0.57%) and Enterobacter (0.47%), as well as archaea Methanobacterium and Methanoregula, mainly involved in hydrogenotrophic pathway.

description: The drug 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HPβCD) reduces lysosomal cholesterol accumulation in Niemann-Pick disease, type C (NPC) and has been advanced to human clinical trials. However, its mechanism of action for reducing cholesterol accumulation in NPC cells is uncertain and its molecular target is unknown. We found that methyl-β-cyclodextrin (MβCD), a potent analog of HPβCD, restored impaired macroautophagy/autophagy flux in Niemann-Pick disease, type C1 (NPC1) cells. This effect was mediated by a direct activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), an upstream kinase in the autophagy pathway, through MβCD binding to its β-subunits. Knockdown of PRKAB1 or PRKAB2 (encoding the AMPK β1 or β2 subunit) expression and an AMPK inhibitor abolished MβCD-mediated reduction of cholesterol storage in NPC1 cells. The results demonstrate that AMPK is the molecular target of MβCD and its activation enhances autophagy flux, thereby mitigating cholesterol accumulation in NPC1 cells. The results identify AMPK as an attractive target for drug development to treat NPC.

description: In this paper, we compare the quantum corrections to the Schwarzschild black hole temperature due to quadratic and linear-quadratic generalized uncertainty principle, with the corrections from the quantum Raychaudhuri equation. The reason for this comparison is to connect the deformation parameters $β_0$ and $ α_0$ with $η$ which is the parameter that characterizes the quantum Raychaudhuri equation. The derived relation between the parameters appears to depend on the relative scale of the system (black hole), which could be read as a beta function equation for the quadratic deformation parameter $β_0$. This study shows a correspondence between the two phenomenological approaches and indicates that quantum Raychaudhuri equation implies the existence of a crystal-like structure of spacetime.

IceTop gamma-hadron separation and angular error estimation using machine learning techniques

description: The IceCube Neutrino Observatory, located at the South Pole, combines two detector systems to study high-energy cosmic-ray events. The surface array, called IceTop, indirectly detects cosmic rays within the 100 TeV to EeV range through ice-Cherenkov tanks, providing reconstructed observables such as primary energy and direction. The in-ice optical array detects high-energy muonic components of air showers. Together, these detectors could enhance particle-type discrimination, though at the cost of a narrower field of view for source searches. This work in progress aims to differentiate between photon- and cosmic-ray-induced air showers detected by IceTop. This is done using a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) that processes time, charge, and lateral distance distributions. Furthermore, to support gamma-ray source searches, we apply a boosted decision tree for estimating directional reconstruction errors. These tree-based models excel in regression and classification tasks, where we use numerous reconstruction fit parameters as inputs to obtain the angular error on an event-by-event basis.
