description: One of the mechanisms responsible for antibiotic resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae is the enzymes produced by the bacteria; another important mechanism is the ability to form biofilm. In this study, antibiotic resistance, genes associated with virulence, and biofilm-forming properties of K. pneumoniae strains were investigated. A total of 100  K. pneumoniae isolates were obtained from different clinical samples identified by Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization time-of-flight Mass Spectrometry. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed with the Phoenix 100 apparatus. The biofilm forming properties of strains were determined by the microtiter plate method. For molecular analysis, genes encoding the carbapenemase enzyme (blaOXA-48, blaNDM-1, blaIMP, and blaVIM) and biofilm-related genes (treC, luxS, mrkA, and wza) were investigated by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). While 76% of clinical isolates were resistant to three or more antimicrobials, 24% were classified as non-multidrug resistant (non-MDR). When biofilm-forming capacities of clinical isolates were tested, it was determined that the resistant-isolates produced 59.2% strong biofilm, and susceptible-isolates produced 12.5% strong biofilm. According to PCR results, carbapenemase genes were determined as follows: blaOXA−48-70%, blaNDM-49%, and blaKPC-19%, blaOXA-48/blaNDM/blaKPC-12%, blaOXA-48/blaNDM-26%, and blaOXA-48/blaKPC-4%. The biofilm-associated genes in bacterial isolates were determined as follows: luxS-98%, treC-94%, mrkA-88%, and wza-15%. In addition, Hierarchical Clustering Tree and Heatmap analysis revealed an association between isolates that lacks resistance genes and isolates lacks biofilm-formation related genes that were included in MDR or non-MDR classes. As a result, biofilm should be considered in the treatment of MDR infections, and therapy should be planned accordingly. In addition, pursuing the data and genes of antibiotic resistance is significant for combating resistance.

description: We study steady-state spherically symmetric accretion of a galileon field onto a Schwarzschild black hole in the test fluid approximation. The galileon is assumed to undergo a stage of cosmological evolution, thus setting a non-trivial boundary condition at spatial infinity. The critical flow is found for some parameters of the theory. There is a range of parameters when the critical flow exists, but the solution is unstable. It is also shown that for a certain range of parameters the critical flow solution does not exist. Depending on the model the sound horizon of the flow can be either outside or inside of the Schwarzschild horizon. The latter property may make it problematic to embed the galileon theory in the standard black hole thermodynamics.

Furthering the development of in-home virtual assistant devices through the consideration of the temporal home: Participants augmented architectural floor plans

description: For a research study titled "Furthering the development of in-home virtual assistant devices through the consideration of the temporal home", participants augmented architectural floor plans.Abstract from paper:This paper extends current research on in-home virtual assistant (VA) devices, focusing on how future domestic VA devices can support the temporal structures and routines within the home. We recruited representatives from 15 households with varied compositions, ranging from single inhabitants to full nest families. Drawing upon P.G. Wodehouse’s The Inimitable Jeeves as inspiration, the methodology sought to imitate the relationship between a recruitment agency worker (researcher) and an employer (household participant) seeking to hire a human personal assistant (e.g., an ‘Amazon Echo Dot’ or ‘Google Home’ type of device) for their home. A ‘household audit’ comprising a guided household tour followed by an architectural survey was undertaken to determine the spatiotemporal routines within the home. Householder descriptions were scrutinized through the traditional Labovian narrative schema, with findings being discussed through Reddy et al’s notion of temporal features to examine how routine activities emerge and unfold within the home from a temporal perspective. We argue that the temporal concepts discussed by Reddy et al. are a useful lens for understanding the temporal nature of the activities that take place in a home and how VAs can better fulfil their roles as domesticated ‘human personal assistant’.

description: We prove that, in a generic single-field model, the consistency relation for the 3-point function in the squeezed limit receives corrections that vanish quadratically in the ratio of the momenta, i.e. as (k_L/k_S)^2. This implies that a detection of a bispectrum signal going as 1/k_L^2 in the squeezed limit, that is suppressed only by one power of k_L compared with the local shape, would rule out all single-field models. The absence of this kind of terms in the bispectrum holds also for multifield models, but only if all the fields have a mass much smaller than H. The detection of any scale dependence of the bias, for scales much larger than the size of the haloes, would disprove all single-field models. We comment on the regime of squeezing that can be probed by realistic surveys.

description: An important problem in quantum information theory is the quantification of entanglement in multipartite mixed quantum states. In this work, a connection between the geometric measure of entanglement and a distance measure of entanglement is established. We present a new expression for the geometric measure of entanglement in terms of the maximal fidelity with a separable state. A direct application of this result provides a closed expression for the Bures measure of entanglement of two qubits. We also prove that the number of elements in an optimal decomposition w.r.t. the geometric measure of entanglement is bounded from above by the Caratheodory bound, and we find necessary conditions for the structure of an optimal decomposition.

description: The adoption of social media platforms by news organizations invariably coincides with transformations in the production, expression, and acceptance of news as public knowledge claims. This study explores how a special subset of Chinese journalists—the foreign-aimed journalists—negotiate their epistemic authority while producing transnational news on foreign platforms. Drawing on 26 in-depth interviews, findings reveal four major tensions as Chinese journalists strive to negotiate authority among foreign audiences: reaffirming professional boundaries; navigating the management directives; maintaining a state messaging position; and understanding digital infrastructure. This study further contextualizes how, parallel to digital transformations, cultural transformations around journalistic knowledge claims are linked to historically and socially embedded priorities and constraints. The established conceptualizations of digital journalistic authority require expansion, as China’s case illuminates the complex interplay between technology, politics, media regulation, and individual agency in shaping the epistemic landscape of contemporary journalism.

description: We develop the suggestion that dark matter could be a Bose-Einstein condensate. We determine the mass-radius relation of a Newtonian self-gravitating Bose-Einstein condensate with short-range interactions described by the Gross-Pitaevskii-Poisson system. We numerically solve the equation of hydrostatic equilibrium describing the balance between the gravitational attraction and the pressure due to quantum effects (Heisenberg's uncertainty principle) and short-range interactions (scattering). We connect the non-interacting limit to the Thomas-Fermi limit. We also consider the case of attractive self-interaction. We compare the exact mass-radius relation obtained numerically with the approximate analytical relation obtained with a Gaussian ansatz. An overall good agreement is found.

description: Predictions of the future state of the Earth's atmosphere suffer from the consequences of chaos: numerical weather forecast models quickly diverge from observations as uncertainty in the initial state is amplified by nonlinearity. One measure of the utility of a forecast is its shadowing time, informally given by the period of time for which the forecast is a reasonable description of reality. The present work uses the Lorenz 096 coupled system, a simplified nonlinear model of atmospheric dynamics, to extend a recently developed technique for lengthening the shadowing time of a dynamical system. Ensemble forecasting is used to make forecasts with and without inflation, a method whereby the ensemble is regularly expanded artificially along dimensions whose uncertainty is contracting. The first goal of this work is to compare model forecasts, with and without inflation, to a true trajectory created by integrating a modified version of the same model. The second goal is to establish whether inflation can increase the maximum shadowing time for a single optimal member of the ensemble. In the second experiment the true trajectory is known a priori, and only the closest ensemble members are retained at each time step, a technique known as stalking. Finally, a targeted inflation is introduced to both techniques to reduce the number of instances in which inflation occurs in directions likely to be incommensurate with the true trajectory. Results varied for inflation, with success dependent upon the experimental design parameters (e.g. size of state space, inflation amount). However, a more targeted inflation successfully reduced the number of forecast degradations without significantly reducing the number of forecast improvements. Utilized appropriately, inflation has the potential to improve predictions of the future state of atmospheric phenomena, as well as other physical systems.

description: This report focuses on the concept of openness of the suite of models populating the openENTRANCE platform. In this respect, the document provides an explanation of the necessary steps needed to define an open-source model, followed by a report of the experiences of the openENTRANCE modelling teams in opening the models they have developed and are maintaining. The core of the report is represented by a set of tables, one for each modelling, team containing information about the steps taken to revise, restructure and simplify the source code of their models as well as providing them with a user guide and a suitable opensource license. The deliverable can serve as a basis both for project stakeholders and for third parties, such as modelling teams interested in engaging in collaboration with the openENTRANCE platform also beyond the lifespan of the project, to understand the steps that have been taken to make the models suitable for a transparent interaction around a common platform. This will give researchers and modelers the possibility to use the models that have been included in the initial suite of tools operating around the openENTRANCE platform and facilitate future interactions between the created platform and third parties interested in exploiting its potentialities using their own models.

description: We calculate the current-voltage characteristic of metallic nanotubes at high bias voltage showing that a bottleneck exists for short nanotubes in contrast to large ones. We attribute this to a redistribution of lower-lying acoustic phonons caused by phonon-phonon scattering with hot optical phonons. The current-voltage characteristic and the electron and phonon distribution functions are derived analytically, and serve to obtain in a self-contained way the frequency shift and line broadening of the zone center optical phonons due to the electron-phonon coupling at high bias. We obtain a positive frequency shift from the zero bias shift and no broadening of the optical phonon mode at very high voltages, in agreement with recent experiments.

description: This report takes us a step closer to recognising our project’s ambition to develop, use and disseminate an open, transparent, and integrated modelling platform for assessing low-carbon transition pathways of the European energy system. Here, our team describes the interaction needed between models being used on the openENTRANCE project, to create an integrated modelling platform. These interactions, are achieved through formalised descriptions of openENTRANCE partners actions will perform with their modelling tools on the database to implement our case studies. This is a very significant step in making our models and tools open and transparent. By enabling data sharing between models in a consistent and standardised manner, we will see mutual benefits to each research area. Our project categorises the suite of energy modelling tools by which element of energy systems they are analysing and then links this suit of energy modelling tools together. Energy System Models Electricity Sector Pan-European and National Models vs Local Models Macro-economic models. openENTRANCE is creating links between these suits of models, so that the modelling tools can exchange information among them. This report also sets out the analyses to take place within the Case Studies as well as information exchange between the models that have been used in these Case Studies.

description: Raman spectroscopy is a rapid, noninvasive and sensitive method for analyzing the chemical composition and structure of various sample types. Over the last thirty years, this method has been used widely in entomology, from insect taxonomy to the detection of pest infestations in plants. This review describes the historical and contemporary applications of Raman spectroscopy in entomology. Researchers have demonstrated their unique advantages in identifying insect species, age and sex. The applicability in detecting agricultural pests has also been well proven. Two particularly promising future applications are: (1) the rapid and precise analysis of chemical and conformational structure; and (2) the detection and identification of insects in agricultural products. Interdisciplinary collaboration between entomologists, chemometricians and spectroscopists is needed to advance the application of this spectroscopic technique and to solve the problem of compositional analysis of complex samples and the determination of unknown components, thus providing a stronger technical basis for the prevention and control of harmful insects.

description: The four quantitative scenarios for low-carbon futures of the pan-European energy system presented in the following report build upon the four storylines developed at the beginning of the openENTRANCE project. A storyline is a narrative describing ideas for future trajectories (pathways) of the energy transition. It is important to stress that a storyline should not be understood in the sense of a prediction about a most likely future development. Each of the four possible energy futures described in the openENTRANCE project could occur equally without stating a preference or bias for a single outcome. Instead, they should be understood as four possible energy futures, which could occur equally without having a preference for one of them. Consequently, the corresponding quantified scenarios, determined by means of the open source energy system model GENESYS-MOD, represent the more concrete empirical frames of the four possible future developments of the pan-European energy system. Since the ambition of the openENTRANCE project is to study low-carbon futures of the European energy system, three of the quantified scenarios comply with the (European fraction of the) 1.5°C global temperature increase limit. The fourth one (called ‘Gradual Development‘) approaches the 2.0°C target. This means that the remaining CO2 budget available for Europe (derived from the Integrated Assessment Model MESSAGEix-GLOBIOM) fixes one of the challenging external constraints in the openENTRANCE scenario modelling exercises. In addition, available technology portfolios/breakthroughs (notably this also includes the availability/non-availability of carbon dioxide removal technologies) in the different storylines/scenarios as well as maximum feasible technology exchange rates (triggered by corresponding CO2 price needs) are determining parameters for achieving carbon neutrality in Europe in the years 2040 or 2050. In this context, it is important to note that the gradients of modelling results in terms of technology progression exchange rates in individual cases/sub-sectors presented in the scenario results might be difficult to imagine what is feasible in the real, “physical” world. Nonetheless, the quantified scenario results not only show the needs of the energy system model GENESYS-MOD to find feasible solutions of the underlying analytical optimisation problem, but more importantly highlight: what needs to be done in the future European energy system if we seriously intend to reach the ambitious global heating targets.

description: Carr and Hawking showed that the proper size of a spherical overdense region surrounded by a flat FRW universe cannot be arbitrarily large as otherwise the region would close up on itself and become a separate universe. From this result they derived a condition connecting size and density of the overdense region ensuring that it is part of our universe. Carr used this condition to obtain an upper bound for the density fluctuation amplitude with the property that for smaller amplitudes the formation of a primordial black hole is possible, while larger ones indicate a separate universe. In contrast, we find that the appearance of a maximum is not a consequence of avoiding separate universes but arises naturally from the geometry of the chosen slicing. Using instead of density a volume fluctuation variable reveals that a fluctuation is a separate universe iff this variable diverges on superhorizon scales. Hence Carr's and Hawking's condition does not pose a physical constraint on density fluctuations. The dynamics of primordial black hole formation with an initial curvature fluctuation amplitude larger than the one corresponding to the maximum density fluctuation amplitude was previously not considered in detail and so we compare it to the well-known case where the amplitude is smaller by presenting embedding and conformal diagrams of both types in dust spacetimes.

description: Spin-echo experiments are often said to constitute an instant of anti-thermodynamic behavior in a concrete physical system that violates the second law of thermodynamics. We argue that a proper thermodynamic treatment of the effect should take into account the correlations between the spin and translational degrees of freedom of the molecules. To this end, we construct an entropy functional using Boltzmann macrostates that incorporates both spin and translational degrees of freedom. With this definition there is nothing special in the thermodynamics of spin echoes: dephasing corresponds to Hamiltonian evolution and leaves the entropy unchanged; dissipation increases the entropy. In particular, there is no phase of entropy decrease in the echo. We also discuss the definition of macrostates from the underlying quantum theory and we show that the decay of net magnetization provides a faithful measure of entropy change.

description: The mitigation of the increasingly visible events and consequences of global warming and climate change are one of the biggest challenges of humankind. Ultimately, a global effort is necessary to implement corresponding corrective actions and strategies. A key aspect in this context is to limit GHG (greenhouse gas) emissions in the future. One of the most prominent representatives in terms of emissions is CO2. Moreover, limiting the remaining global CO2 budget in the energy and transport systems is one of the key necessities to comply with a maximum global temperature increase. The European Commission is fully committed to several climate-related challenges and takes responsibility for immediate decisive policy actions necessary. Recently, in November 2018, the long term strategic vision to reduce GHG emissions was presented, indicating how Europe can lead the way to climate neutrality (an economy with net-zero GHG emissions) in 2050 and beyond. Strategies and options have been explored on how this can be achieved by looking at all the key economic sectors. Anticipating climate neutrality in 2050 in a global context (i.e. 100% GHG emission reduction compared to 1990 level) would limit global temperature increase to 1.5 °C, and avoid some of the worst climate impacts and reduce the likelihood of extreme weather events and others. Logically, Europe cannot decide on policies and strategies on global level. However, Europe at least can act on the leading edge of implementing climate mitigation policies in Europe and thus act as a global role model. In the context, one of the main challenges is to anticipate the future development of the energy system. This, however, is not easy. From today’s point-of-view, it is virtually impossible to anticipate how a future energy system will look like in detail. Too many uncertainties in terms of possible future developments exist. Therefore, it is important to consider at least future narratives in terms of possible developments, cornerstones and features of a future energy system. This is exactly what this document, Deliverable D7.1, is about. The overall motivation of this document is to develop narratives of a few realistic and possible future energy worlds.

description: We study the growth of perturbations in a uniformly collapsing cloud of self-gravitating Brownian particles. This problem shares analogies with the formation of large-scale structures in a universe experiencing a "big-crunch" or with the formation of stars in a molecular cloud experiencing gravitational collapse. Starting from the barotropic Smoluchowski-Poisson system, we derive a new equation describing the evolution of the density contrast in the comoving (collapsing) frame. This equation can serve as a prototype to study the process of self-organization in complex media with structureless initial conditions. We solve this equation analytically in the linear regime and compare the results with those obtained by using the "Jeans swindle" in a static medium. The stability criteria, as well as the laws for the time evolution of the perturbations, are different. The Jeans criterion is expressed in terms of a critical wavelength $λ_J$ while our criterion is expressed in terms of a critical polytropic index $γ_{4/3}$. We also study the fragmentation process in the nonlinear regime. We determine the growth of the skewness, the long-wavelength tail of the power spectrum and find a self-similar solution to the nonlinear equations valid for large times. Finally, we consider dissipative self-gravitating Bose-Einstein condensates with short-range interactions and show that, in a strong friction limit, the dissipative Gross-Pitaevskii-Poisson system is equivalent to the quantum barotropic Smoluchowski-Poisson system. This yields a new type of nonlinear mean field Fokker-Planck equations including quantum effects.

description: For the first time, an attempt was made to differentiate the occupation of male workers from their fingernail clippings (80 samples aged between 20 to 60 years). ATR-FTIR spectroscopy coupled with statistical algorithms (PCA & PLS-DA) was utilized for characterization and discrimination purpose. ATR-FTIR spectral analysis depicted the presence of aldehyde, amine salt, amide I, II and III, Metal-O stretching and aliphatic & aromatic hydrocarbons in fingernail clippings, collected from different male occupants. Specifically, PCA and PLS-DA were used for exploratory and predictive data analysis. It was noticed that PCA just provided an indication of the number of distinct classes instead of classifying the data. On the other hand, PLS-DA has been found to be excellent for predicting the workplace on the basis of classifying male fingernail clippings from different occupational exposure. Using 10 unknown samples, the model was further validated, and each unknown sample’s prediction was found to be correct, yielding a 100% accuracy rate. When fingernail clippings are discovered at a crime scene as corroborative evidence, the findings of this study may be useful to a forensic expert. Furthermore, it aids in focusing and narrowing down the criminal inquiry depending on occupation. For this purpose, a database based on forensic examination of fingernail clippings could be created, for workplace discrimination based on occupational exposure.
Majorana Fermions in Semiconductor Nanowires

description: We study multiband semiconducting nanowires proximity-coupled with an s-wave superconductor and calculate the topological phase diagram as a function of the chemical potential and magnetic field. The non-trivial topological state corresponds to a superconducting phase supporting an odd number of pairs of Majorana modes localized at the ends of the wire, whereas the non-topological state corresponds to a superconducting phase with no Majoranas or with an even number of pairs of Majorana modes. Our key finding is that multiband occupancy not only lifts the stringent constraint of one-dimensionality, but also allows having higher carrier density in the nanowire. Consequently, multiband nanowires are better-suited for stabilizing the topological superconducting phase and for observing the Majorana physics. We present a detailed study of the parameter space for multiband semiconductor nanowires focusing on understanding the key experimental conditions required for the realization and detection of Majorana fermions in solid-state systems. We include various sources of disorder and characterize their effects on the stability of the topological phase. Finally, we calculate the local density of states as well as the differential tunneling conductance as functions of external parameters and predict the experimental signatures that would establish the existence of emergent Majorana zero-energy modes in solid-state systems.

Measurements of inclusive W+jets production rates as a function of jet transverse momentum in ppbar collisions at sqrt{s}=1.96 TeV

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)

description: This Letter describes measurements of inclusive W (--> e nu) + n jet cross sections (n = 1-4), presented as total inclusive cross sections and differentially in the nth jet transverse momentum. The measurements are made using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.2 fb-1 collected by the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider, and achieve considerably smaller uncertainties on W +jets production cross sections than previous measurements. The measurements are compared to next-to-leading order perturbative QCD (pQCD) calculations in the n =1-3 jet multiplicity bins and to leading order pQCD calculations in the 4-jet bin. The measurements are generally in agreement with pQCD predictions, although certain regions of phase space are identified where the calculations could be improved.

description: The project ‘Open ENergy TRansition ANalyses for a low-carbon Economy’ – openENTRANCE develops an open, transparent and integrated modelling platform for assessing low-carbon transition pathways. The platform will gather a suite of state-of-the-art modelling tools and data for covering the multiple dimensions of a green and clean energy transition. openENTRANCE is a project funded by the European Commission under the Horizon 2020 framework and implemented by a consortium of 14 leading European research institutions, Universities and civil society organisations. The openENTRANCE project will produce a number of datasets concerning historic development and scenarios of future energy transitions in Europe. We are dedicated to the goal of the European Commission and the Horizon 2020 programme to make all academic work FAIR. All historical and scenario data sets will be made available via the “open platform” (developed in WP4)1, with
 references to supporting literature and hyperlinks (where possible) to the open-source modelling frameworks used to generate the scenarios. All academic publications and policy briefs resulting from this project will be made available either following the green or gold open access standard and will be published on a dedicated project website. The data will be useful for policymakers and researchers to assess quantified scenarios of the energy transition and related policy measures. The open platform will facilitate the reuse of results from openENTRANCE as reference in scientific work by other modelling teams and for science communication activities by NGOs and other organizations working on related topics.
Gravitational Interactions in a General Multibrane Model

description: The gravitational interactions of the four-dimensional effective theory describing a general $N$-brane model in five dimensions without radion stabilization are analyzed. Both uncompactified and orbifolded models are considered. The parameter space is constrained by requiring that there be no ghost modes in the theory, and that the Eddington parameterized post-Newtonian parameter $γ$ be consistent with observations. We show that we must reside on the brane on which the warp factor is maximized. The resultant theory contains $N-1$ radion modes in a nonlinear sigma model, with the target space being a subset of hyperbolic space. Imposing observational constraints on the relative strengths of gravitational interactions of dark and visible matter shows that at least 99.8% of the dark matter must live on our brane in this model.

description: Tuning a PI controller can be quite cumbersome
for the non-expert as the closed-loop control system has to
meet various requirements while the influence and interaction
of the two degrees of freedom are not always clear. This paper
addresses the design of an iterative PI controller autotuning
for drive systems with the idea of imitating a human expert.
In contrast to existing concepts, a new approach with multiple
tuning strategies is applied which gives a compact rule base that
is easy to modify. The performance of the proposed algorithm
is illustrated through motion control testbench trials.
