description: This study presents a complementary geochemical and isotopic database (Ca2+, Mg2+, Na, K+, HCO 3--, SO42--, Cl --, trace elements and isotopes of H, O, C, S and Sr) for water samples from the Indus River Basin. These results, as well as published data for precipitation and river discharges were used to address the following aspects of the Indus River Basin: (1) water budget, annual solute fluxes, and denudation rate; (2) whether the summer monsoon or delayed runoff from winter precipitation dominates the discharge of the Indus and where does the water vapor for precipitation originate; (3) what are the sources and processes that control the distribution of solutes; (4) estimate the contribution of major ions to river water from carbonate and silicate weathering. The long-term mean annual precipitation water flux into the Indus River Basin is 398 km3. Based on major ion chemistry of rain and snow, the annual precipitation flux of Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) to the Indus River Basin is ∼ 844,400 tons. The Indus River annually transports ∼ 18 million tons of TDS that translates into a chemical denudation rate of 21 tons km--2. Oxygen and deuterium isotopes in the Indus River at Sukkur barrage for the Water Year March-94 to February-95 define the relationship deltaD = 7.5 (delta18O) + 10. This implies that despite aridity, significant evaporative enrichment is limited due to the short residence time of water and due to the minor contribution of runoff from the and middle and lower parts of the basin. Hydrochemistry of the Indus River is dominated by Ca2+ > Mg2+ > (Na+ +K+) and HCO 3-- > (SO42-- +Cl--) > Si. Sediment weathering is the dominant source for major cations, silicate weathering is important only locally. Three end member compositions control the Sr-isotope systematics of the Indus River. These are: (a) weathering of old silicate (silicic) rocks with high 87Sr/86Sr ratios and represented by rivers draining the Precambrian high grade metamorphic rocks of the Nanga Parbat-Haramosh massif and the "Central Crystallines" of the Higher Himalayas; (b) young silicate (mafic) rocks with the lowest 87Sr/ 86Sr ratios of all the Indus tributaries and represented by rivers draining mafic-ultramafic units of the Cretaceous Kohistan-Ladakh arcs; and (c) weathering of sedimentary carbonates with intermediate 87 Sr/86Sr, represented by the lowland tributaries draining sedimentary carbonates and shales of the West Pakistan Fold Belt.

description: With advances in combination antiretroviral therapy (cART), people living with HIV are now surviving to experience aging. Evidence suggests that individuals living with HIV are at greater risk for low bone mineral density (BMD), osteoporosis, and fractures. Better understanding of the pathophysiology of bone health in women living with HIV (WLWH) is important for treatment strategies. The goal of this study was to explore new biological factors linked to low BMD in WLWH. Standardized BMD measures of WLWH were compared to reference values from an unselected population of women from the same geographical region of the same age range. Linear regression analysis was used to assess relationships among health-related characteristics, cellular aging (measured by leukocyte telomere length; LTL), cART, and BMD of WLWH. WLWH (n = 73; mean age 43 ± 9 years) had lower BMD Z-scores at the lumbar spine (LS) (mean difference = −0.39, p < 0.001) and total hip (TH) (−0.29, p = 0.012) relative to controls (n = 290). WLWH between 50 and 60 years (n = 17) had lower Z-scores at the LS (p = 0.008) and TH (p = 0.027) compared to controls (n = 167). Among WLWH, LS BMD was significantly associated with LTL (R² = 0.09, p = 0.009) and BMI (R² = 0.06, p = 0.042). Spinal BMD was adversely affected in WLWH. Reduction of LTL was strongly associated with lower BMD and may relate to its pathophysiology and premature aging in WLWH.

description: We present cosmological parameter constraints from a tomographic weak gravitational lensing analysis of ~450 deg2 of imaging data from the Kilo Degree Survey (KiDS). For a flat λCDM cosmology with a prior on H0 that encompasses the most recent direct measurements, we find S8 ≡ σ8 √ωm/0.3 = 0.745±0.039. This result is in good agreement with other low redshift probes of large scale structure, including recent cosmic shear results, along with pre-Planck cosmic microwave background constraints. A 2.3-σ tension in S8 and `substantial discordance' in the full parameter space is found with respect to the Planck 2015 results. We use shear measurements for nearly 15 million galaxies, determined with a new improved `self-calibrating' version of lens fit validated using an extensive suite of image simulations. Four-band ugri photometric redshifts are calibrated directly with deep spectroscopic surveys. The redshift calibration is confirmed using two independent tech- niques based on angular cross-correlations and the properties of the photometric redshift probability distributions. Our covariance matrix is determined using an analytical approach, verified numeri- cally with large mock galaxy catalogues. We account for uncertainties in the modelling of intrinsic galaxy alignments and the impact of baryon feedback on the shape of the non-linear matter power spectrum, in addition to the small residual uncertainties in the shear and redshift calibration. The cosmology analysis was performed blind. Our high-level data products, including shear correlation functions, covariance matrices, redshift distributions, and Monte Carlo Markov Chains.

description: Based on the analytical framework advanced in ENGAGE Working Paper 18, this article assesses the European Union's (EU) ability to implement integrated external action in conflict prevention, mediation and resolution. The article builds on the analysis of four crisis/conflict theatres around the world (Kosovo, Somalia, Iran and Colombia), where the EU became involved at different phases of the conflict cycle. Each section thus considers the rationale of the EU’s engagement in the specific type of conflict or crisis, as well as its main objectives and interests; then reviews the instruments deployed; and analyses both the horizontal coherence between institutions and the vertical coherence between the EU level and the Member States initiatives, when they exist. Finally, each case study tries to evaluate the EU's performance in terms of how it is perceived by other parties and, above all, whether the EU has the capacity to act autonomously.

Overall, this paper argues that the gap between CSDP and other strands of the EU's external action that fall under the scope of Community policies tends to undermine the horizontal coherence of the EU action in crisis/conflict management. Even if the EU is able to act in profoundly diverse crises and obtain some results, the tools at its disposal do not always enable the EU to translate potential into actual influence. The article also concludes that the EU's ability to act autonomously depends on external factors beyond its control, and that in some cases, such as in the Iran and partially in the Kosovo cases, it is far from assured. The presence and position of third parties – in particular the United States – in the crisis theatres is indeed an important variable that influences the results and autonomy of EU action.

description: We discuss the environment of local hard X-ray selected active galaxies, with reference to two independent group catalogues. We find that the fraction of these AGN in S0 host galaxies decreases strongly as a function of galaxy group size (halo mass) - which contrasts with the increasing fraction of galaxies of S0 type in denser environments. However, there is no evidence for an environmental dependence of AGN in spiral galaxies. Because most AGN are found in spiral galaxies, this dilutes the signature of environmental dependence for the population as a whole. We argue that the differing results for AGN in disc-dominated and bulge-dominated galaxies are related to the source of the gas fuelling the AGN, and so may also impact the luminosity function, duty cycle and obscuration. We find that there is a significant difference in the luminosity function for AGN in spiral and S0 galaxies, and tentative evidence for some difference in the fraction of obscured AGN.

description: The present study investigated text reconstruction performance of EFL university-level students reading a fairly long naturally-occurring popular magazine article taking two factors into consideration: degree of text content explicitness and EFL reading ability level. More specifically, it attempted to examine a deeper level of text representation, or what Kintsch and his associates label the situation model (Kintsch & van Dijk, 1978; van Dijk & Kintsch, 1983; Kintsch, 1974, 1988, 1992, 1994, 1998), by subjects of two reading ability levels in EFL [high and low]. Subjects performed an immediate written reconstructive recall after reading one of the two versions [fully explicit and less explicit ] of a popular science article. This recall or text representation reflected (1) the comprehension or the reconstruction of the text as a whole, (2) the distribution of information in the text, i.e., in terms of its macro and microstructure, and (3) any correct inferences that may have been generated. In addition, the study considered the influence of text difficulty, topic interest, and topic familiarity in the reconstructive representation. Ninety-two Brazilian university-level subjects participated in this study. Comprehension was measured quantitatively in terms of: (1) the number of propositions recalled from reading one of the two versions, (2) textbase recall, and (3) inferential recall. In both text versions, six hierarchical levels of information were considered. There were four main findings of the present study: (1) Text version had an impact on the reconstructive process. Readers benefited from reading a less explicit version of the text regardless of their reading ability level, although high reading ability level readers outperformed low reading ability ones. (2) The fully explicit version had an advantage over the less explicit version only with respect to the construction of the textbase representation. (3) Results respected the Hierarchy Principle, that is, higher-level propositions were better and more frequently recalled than lower-level ones. (4) Text difficulty and topic familiarity were not determining factors in the reconstructive representation. Topic interest, however, was shown to be a significant factor in the construction of the textbase as well as in the reconstructive process as a whole of low reading ability subjects. The findings of the present study are broadly consistent with those reported in earlier cognitive research in the area of text representation, particularly with those which examined text comprehension in the context of the Kintsch & van Dijk (Kintsch & van Dijk, 1978; van Dijk & Kintsch, 1983, Kintsch, 1974, 1988, 1992, 1994, 1998) model of reading comprehension.

description: Amenorrhea is important for women’s bone health. However, few have reported reproductive, anthropometric (body mass index [BMI], height) and bone health (areal bone mineral density [BMD], prevalent fractures) in a population-based study. The purposes of this cross-sectional study of women in the randomly-selected Canadian Multicentre Osteoporosis Study (CaMos) population were: (1) to describe reproductive, demographic, anthropometric and lifestyle variables; and (2) in menstruating women, to relate reproductive and other variables to BMD at the lumbar spine (L1-4, LS), femoral neck (FN) and total hip (TH) sites and to prevalent fragility fractures. This study describes the reproductive characteristics of 1532 women aged 30–60 years. BMD relationships with reproductive and other variables were described in the 499 menstruating women. Mean menarche age was 12.8 years, 96% of women were parous and 95% had used combined hormonal contraceptives (CHC). Infertility was reported by 9%, androgen excess by 13%, amenorrhea by 8% and nulliparity by 4%. LS BMD was negatively associated with amenorrhea and androgen excess and positively related to current BMI and height. A later age at menarche negatively related to FN BMD. BMI and height were strongly related to BMD at all sites. Prevalent fragility fractures were significantly associated with quartiles of both LS and TH BMD.

description: The hot-phonon bottleneck effect in lead-halide perovskites (APbX3) prolongs the cooling period of hot charge carriers, an effect that could be used in the next-generation photovoltaics devices. Using ultrafast optical characterization and first-principle calculations, four kinds of lead-halide perovskites (A=FA+/MA+/Cs+, X=I -/Br -) are compared in this study to reveal the carrier-phonon dynamics within. Here we show a stronger phonon bottleneck effect in hybrid perovskites than in their inorganic counterparts. Compared with the caesium-based system, a 10 times slower carrier-phonon relaxation rate is observed in FAPbI 3. The up-conversion of low-energy phonons is proposed to be responsible for the bottleneck effect. The presence of organic cations introduces overlapping phonon branches and facilitates the up-transition of low-energy modes. The blocking of phonon propagation associated with an ultralow thermal conductivity of the material also increases the overall up-conversion efficiency. This result also suggests a new and general method for achieving long-lived hot carriers in materials.
Applications of machine learning for real-time water quality monitoring in water distribution systems

description: Chlorine is the most widely used disinfectant globally, essential for maintaining safe drinking water. However, managing chlorine residuals in water distribution systems (WDS) is challenging due to chlorine decay, which is influenced by water quality, flow dynamics, and aging infrastructure. Traditional models and infrequent monitoring often lack the accuracy needed for real-time decision-making. To address these limitations, data-driven techniques and real-time monitoring have emerged as promising solutions for optimizing chlorine levels and ensuring regulatory compliance. This thesis applies machine learning (ML) techniques to improve chlorine residual predictions while enhancing model interpretability. The first study implemented neural networks, including Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks, and CNN-LSTM architectures, to predict chlorine residuals using historical water quality data. These models outperformed traditional hydraulic models, such as EPANET, achieving mean absolute errors (MAE) below 0.027 mg/L. ML models effectively captured complex non-linear relationships between operational parameters and chlorine decay, demonstrating superior accuracy and robustness. The second study focused on improving model transparency through Explainable AI (XAI) techniques, including SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP), Permutation Feature Importance (PFI), and Occlusion Analysis. These methods validated model logic, identified key input features, and assessed the impact of sensor placement on prediction accuracy. Results indicated that accurate predictions could be achieved with sensors placed far from the prediction site, reducing the need for dense sensor networks. Additionally, sample-specific analysis revealed patterns linking flow rates, temperature, and chlorine decay, aligning with expected water quality behaviors. This enables informed decision-making, such as adjusting operational parameters. By integrating ML models with XAI techniques, this research supports real-time, data-driven chlorine management, enhancing water quality monitoring while fostering confidence in AI-driven decision-making.

description: Background and Purpose: Elevated sympathetic nervous system (SNS) activity is a characteristic of obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D) that contributes to target organ damage and cardiovascular risk. In this study we examined whether baseline metabolic status influences the degree of sympathoinhibition attained following equivalent dietary weight loss. Methods: Un-medicated obese individuals categorized as normal glucose tolerant (NGT, n=15), impaired glucose tolerant (IGT, n=24) and newly-diagnosed T2D (n=15) consumed a hypocaloric diet (29% fat, 23% protein, 45% carbohydrate) for 4-months. The three groups were matched for baseline age (56 + 1 years), body mass index (BMI, 32.9 + 0.7 kg/m2) and gender. Clinical measurements included whole-body norepinephrine kinetics, muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA, by microneurography), spontaneous cardiac baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) and oral glucose tolerance test. Results: Weight loss averaged -7.5 + 0.8, -8.1 + 0.5 and -8.0 + 0.9 % of body weight in NGT, IGT and T2D groups, respectively. T2D subjects had significantly greater reductions in fasting glucose, 2-h glucose and glucose area under the curve (AUC0-120) compared to NGT and IGT (group effect, P).

description: Background: Huntington Disease (HD) is an incurable autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder driven by an expansion repeat giving rise to the mutant huntingtin protein (mHtt), which is known to disrupt a multitude of transcriptional pathways. Pridopidine, a small molecule in development for treatment of HD, has been shown to improve motor symptoms in HD patients. In HD animal models, pridopidine exerts neuroprotective effects and improves behavioral and motor functions. Pridopidine binds primarily to the sigma-1 receptor, (IC50 ~ 100 nM), which mediates its neuroprotective properties, such as rescue of spine density and aberrant calcium signaling in HD neuronal cultures. Pridopidine enhances brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) secretion, which is blocked by putative sigma-1 receptor antagonist NE-100, and was shown to upregulate transcription of genes in the BDNF, glucocorticoid receptor (GR), and dopamine D1 receptor (D1R) pathways in the rat striatum. The impact of different doses of pridopidine on gene expression and transcript splicing in HD across relevant brain regions was explored, utilizing the YAC128 HD mouse model, which carries the entire human mHtt gene containing 128 CAG repeats. Methods: RNAseq was analyzed from striatum, cortex, and hippocampus of wild-type and YAC128 mice treated with vehicle, 10 mg/kg or 30 mg/kg pridopidine from the presymptomatic stage (1.5 months of age) until 11.5 months of age in which mice exhibit progressive disease phenotypes. Results: The most pronounced transcriptional effect of pridopidine at both doses was observed in the striatum with minimal effects in other regions. In addition, for the first time pridopidine was found to have a dose-dependent impact on alternative exon and junction usage, a regulatory mechanism known to be impaired in HD. In the striatum of YAC128 HD mice, pridopidine treatment initiation prior to symptomatic manifestation rescues the impaired expression of the BDNF, GR, D1R and cAMP pathways. Conclusions: Pridopidine has broad effects on restoring transcriptomic disturbances in the striatum, particularly involving synaptic transmission and activating neuroprotective pathways that are disturbed in HD. Benefits of treatment initiation at early disease stages track with trends observed in the clinic.

description: Bei einigen Anlagen der Holzwerkstoffindustrie wurde in den letzten Jahren ein Anstieg der Geruchsemissionswerte nachgewiesen. Gleichzeitig konnte jedoch eine verminderte Beschwerdesituation im Umfeld der Anlage festgestellt werden, was eher auf eine reduzierte Geruchsimmissionsbelastung hinweist. Das Forschungsvorhaben soll dazu beitragen, diesen scheinbaren Widerspruch zwischen den Geruchsemissionen und -immissionen aufzuklären. Hierfür wurden an einer repräsentativen Anlage die Geruchsemissionen und -immissionen olfaktorisch ermittelt, mittels Geruchsimmissionsprognose einander gegenübergestellt und diskutiert, ob ein Abgleich unter den vorliegenden Randbedingen möglich ist.
