description: Standards are at the cornerstone to build a resilient European Single Market enabling companies to demonstrate compliance with EU regulations, creating a level playing field for businesses and increasing consumer confidence. Transferring R&I results to a standards-setting organisation further extends exploitation by spurring innovation. This ensures the uptake and wider use of new technologies and inventions, guaranteeing interoperability and compatibility, providing quality and safety levels, and codifying knowledge in clear and specific ways. This Webinar featured the entire HSbooster.eu Consortium and presented the unique opportunity offered by the newly launched initiative, whose key goal is to provide professional consultancy services to guide and support beneficiaries and consortia of Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe R&I projects to make sure they take the right strategic approach and contribute efficiently to the Standardisation process in critical areas envisaged in the recently issued European Standardisation Strategy.

description: Cross-flow turbines harness kinetic energy in wind or moving water. Due to their unsteady fluid dynamics, it can be difficult to predict the interplay between aspects of rotor geometry and turbine performance. This study considers the effects of three geometric parameters: the number of blades, the preset pitch angle, and the chord-to-radius ratio. The relevant fluid dynamics of cross-flow turbines are reviewed, as are prior experimental studies that have investigated these parameters in a more limited manner. Here, 223 unique experiments are conducted across an order of magnitude of diameter-based Reynolds numbers ($\approx 8\!\times\!10^4 - 8\!\times\!10^5$) in which the performance implications of these three geometric parameters are evaluated. In agreement with prior work, maximum performance is generally observed to increase with Reynolds number and decrease with blade count. The broader experimental space clarifies parametric interdependencies; for example, the optimal preset pitch angle is increasingly negative as the chord-to-radius ratio increases. As these experiments vary both the chord-to-radius ratio and blade count, the performance of different rotor geometries with the same solidity (the ratio of total blade chord to rotor circumference) can also be evaluated. Results demonstrate that while solidity can be a poor predictor of maximum performance, across all scales and tested geometries it is an excellent predictor of the tip-speed ratio corresponding to maximum performance. Overall, these results present a uniquely holistic view of relevant geometric considerations for cross-flow turbine rotor design and provide a rich dataset for validation of numerical simulations and reduced-order models.

description: The physical origin of the >0.1 GeV emission detected from Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) by the Fermi satellite has not yet been completely understood. In this work we consider the GeV light curves of ten GRBs with measured redshift detected by the Fermi-LAT. These light curves are characterised by a long-lived ($\gtrsim10^2$ seconds) emission, whose luminosity decays in time as a power-law. While the decay rate is similar for all GRBs (i.e. $L_{LAT}\propto t^{-1.2}$), the normalisation spans about two orders of magnitude in luminosity. However, after re-normalising the luminosities to the prompt energetics $E_{iso}$ the light curves overlap. We consider the scenario in which the temporally extended LAT emission is dominated by synchrotron radiation from electrons accelerated at the forward external shock. According to this model, at high-energies (i.e. above the typical synchrotron frequencies) a small dispersion of the $E_{iso}$-normalised light curves is expected. The fact that the LAT temporally extended emission follows this behaviour reinforces its interpretation in terms of afterglow radiation from external shocks. Assuming this scenario, we argue that the parameters $ε_e$ and $η_γ$ (i.e., the fraction of shock-dissipated energy gained by the electrons, and the efficiency of the mechanism producing the prompt radiation, respectively) must be narrowly distributed.

title: Mansion on the Hill – A Monumental Late Neolithic House at Vinge, Zealand, Denmark
Creators: name: Johannsen, Jens Winther
Publisher: name: Journal of Neolithic Archaeology
Year: 2017

description: This paper presents the results of an excavation of the remains of a large, Late Neolithic two-aisled house in the northeastern part of Zealand, Denmark. The house shows a strong resemblance to the well-known Fosie-houses, but is almost three times as large as these structures. It is suggested that the building housed a Late Neolithic family, their farmhands and their livestock. Furthermore, the house’s monumentality signalled the power and wealth of its inhabitant(s) and is thus a clear indicator of the presence of an elite in the Scandinavian Late Neolithic society. The house is contemporaneous with the flourishing Únětice-centre in the Thuringia/Saxony-Anhalt region, from where copper and bronze were imported to Scandinavia. Although rooted in a Scandinavian building tradition, the Vinge house was probably influenced by the building of monumental houses in that area. The interactions with the Continent were likely based on a surplus in the Scandinavian Late Neolithic society generated by changes in agricultural strategies. These changes are reflected to some degree in the material from Vinge.

description: In this study, for the first time a comparison was done between sampling method of ammonia using NIOSH 6016 followed by spectrophotometry based on Nessler reagent (EPA method 350.2) to show the potential of spectrophotometry for determination of airborne concentrations of ammonia in occupational media. The study was performed in two phases. The first phase involved static preparation of different concentrations of ammonia, ranging from 0.02 to 0.4 mg in 5 L of air followed by sampling from these concentrations and extraction/analysis based on NIOSH 6016 spectrophotometric method. The average recovery of analysis in step 1 was 94.90%. In the second phase, 33 air samples, collected from a petrochemical company, were analysed by both spectrophotometry and ion chromatography approaches. A very good correlation (R2 = 0.9974) was found between the two methods. The results showed that combination of sampling and extraction noted in NIOSH 6016 with the analysis approach based on Nessler reagents can be assumed as a précised, reliable, easy and applied method for the evaluation of short/long-time personal exposures and also environmental concentrations in occupational places.

description: Geomagnetic research and drillings provide new results regarding settlement organisation and population size of three small settlements from the Pre-Cucuteni and Cucuteni AB period in the Suceva County in Romanian Bucovina. In these settlements from different stages of the Pre-Cucuteni complex domestic dwellings can be distinguished from clearly oversized (special?) buildings which are situated in central positions and which contain partly special inventories. Different principles of settlement organisation are visible which show each far-reaching references to the Central Balkans on the one hand and the Bug-Dnieper interfluve on the other hand. Consistently populations with less than 200 inhabitants are reconstructed based on analogies to other Cucuteni-Tripolye sites.

description: In this study, in order to remove of toxic Cr(VI) metal ions from aqueous solutions, three SPION@SiO2-N1-BODIPY, SPION@SiO2-N2-BODIPY andSPION@SiO2-N3-BODIPY nanoparticle adsorbents nanoparticle adsorbents with different amino groups were compared/investigated.The adsorption parameters such ascontact time, initial Cr (VI) concentration, adsorbent dosage, pH, and temperature experiments were investigated and also nanoparticle adsorbents with different amine groups were compared.The results showed that the nanoparticle containig more amines groups adsorbed more Cr(VI) with less dose amount used. When the adsorption capacity of SPION@SiO2-N1-BODIPY, SPION@SiO2-N2-BODIPYand SPION@SiO2-N3-BODIPY were compared to ones reported in the literatures, our nanoparticle adsorbents have the maximum adsorption capacities of 23.981, 33.003 and 43.478 mg/g at pH 2.0 and 25°C, respectively.The equilibrium data obtained wereexamined with various kinetics and isotherms equations.It is concluded that the adsorption processes of three nanoparticle adsorbents, Pseudo-second-order model and Langmuir models are well described.Briefly, the results showed that SPION@SiO2-N1-BODIPY, SPION@SiO2-N2-BODIPYand SPION@SiO2-N3-BODIPY nanoparticle adsorbents can be a great promise as effective adsorbents by removing toxic Cr(VI) metal ions from aqueous solutions and also determining the adsorption capabilities of nanoparticle adsorbents with different amine groups will help future studies.

description: Presented at the GHRSST XXIII international science team meeting, 27 June-1 July 2022, online and in-person (Barcelona). #GHRSST23 Short abstract There is a growing imperative to better marshal available ocean observations of different types in support of interdisciplinary marine science and ecosystem management applications for societal benefit. There is also a related need to develop improved data infrastructures and services for a more digitally integrated ocean observing system, one providing more seamless access to diverse observations for the oceans to enable their synergistic and efficient use also amongst emerging user communities and applications. COVERAGE is an international effort and 3 year pilot project within the Committee on Earth Observation Satellites (CEOS) involving interagency participation and engagement of the four CEOS Virtual Constellations, including SST-VC, that seeks to address these challenges. Its goal is to provide improved access to multi-agency, multidisciplinary remote sensing data for the oceans that are also better integrated with in-situ observations, also biological, that pose additional data interoperability challenges. COVERAGE focuses on implementing technologies, including emerging cloud-based solutions, to provide an advanced yet accessible data rich, web-based platform for integrated ocean data delivery and access: multi-parameter observations, easily discoverable and usable, organized thematically, and complemented by a set of integrated, value-added data services including data search, visualization and analytics. COVERAGE development is characterized by a phased, user-driven, open source approach organized around priority application use cases identified by agency partners. Here we provide an overview of the initiative and the status of current our Phase-C project, and showcase some of the COVERAGE’s core data service capabilities.

description: This work describes the synthesis and characterisation of a promising adsorbent nanocomposite based on magnetic multiwalled carbon nanotubes (m-MWCNTs) functionalised with 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (APTMS). Was developed a method based on dispersive magnetic solid phase extraction (DMSPE). It also details its use in the development of a rapid and simple preconcentration method for Cr(VI) ions in water samples with FAAS detection. The nanocomposite was characterised using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM); the textural data measurements were obtained using the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) and Barret-Joyner-Halenda (BJH) analyses. The maximum adsorption capacity of the m-MWCNT@APTMS nanocomposite for Cr(VI) ions was 13.37 mg g-1 at an equilibrium time of 20 min. The adsorption process followed the dual-site Langmuir-Freundlich model, while the kinetic data were well fitted by the pseudo-second-order model. The important variables that affect the performance of the MSPE method, such as the pH of the sample, adsorbent mass, preconcentration and elution time, and type of eluent were univariately optimised. Under the optimised condition, an aliquot of 20 mL of sample was preconcentrated using 40 mg of m-MWCNT@APTMS for 4 min under vortex agitation. After this, the nanoparticles were separated from the solution with a magnet, then, the adsorbed Cr(VI) ions in the adsorbent were eluted with 1.0 mL of 2.0 mol L-1 HNO3 for 1.0 min and submitted to FAAS detection. The linear range studied was of 0.02 -0.2 mg L-1. When the enrichment factor was 20, the LOD and LOQ to Cr(VI) ions were 3.18 and 10.7 µg L-1, respectively, presenting RSD of 0.18% and 0.28% for solutions of Cr(VI) at 0.08 mg L-1 and 0.18 mg L-1. Finally, the proposed method was applied for the speciation of Cr(VI) in water samples and the results were compared with reference technique (GF AAS).

In particular, by employing the random phase approximation, we quantify the impact of screening exerted by a metal gate located nearby a graphene flake. Finally, we calculate the spin- and circularly-symmetric Landau parameter, which can be experimentally extracted from independent measurements on the same setup of the quantum capacitance and quasiparticle velocity.

description: The last two decades of excavations in southwest Scania, Sweden, have given substantial new results regarding Early Neolithic society (4000–3300 cal. BC). The overall aim here is to discuss and synthesize these results, and a number of important excavations are also presented in detail. The results are both on a macro scale concerning overall settlement pattern, landscape use and the scale of monumental landscapes, and on a micro scale concerning, for example, houses and huts, monumental sites and their complexity, and pits and depositional practices on different types of sites. Also, the economy of the region as well as the socio-political organization are discussed based on interpretations of the material presented.

description: The inner and outer shapes and orientations of core-Sersic galaxies may hold important clues to their formation and evolution. We have therefore measured the central and outer ellipticities and position angles for a sample of 24 core-Sersic galaxies using archival HST images and data. By selecting galaxies with core-Sersic break radii R_b---a measure of the size of their partially depleted core---that are > 0".2, we find that the ellipticities and position angles are quite robust against HST seeing. For the bulk of the galaxies, there is a good agreement between the ellipticities and position angles at the break radii and the average outer ellipticities and position angles determined over R_e/2 < R < R_e, where R_e is the spheroids' effective half light radius. However there are some interesting differences. We find a median "inner" ellipticity at R_b of e_med = 0.13 +- 0.01, rounder than the median ellipticity of the "outer" regions e_med = 0.20 +- 0.01, which is thought to reflect the influence of the central supermassive black hole at small radii. In addition, for the first time we find a trend, albeit weak (2 sigma significance), such that galaxies with larger (stellar deficit)-to- (supermassive black hole) mass ratios---thought to be a measure of the number of major dry merger events---tend to have rounder inner and outer isophotes, suggesting a connection between the galaxy shapes and their merger histories. We show that this finding is not simply reflecting the well known result that more luminous galaxies are rounder, but it is no doubt related.

description: The optical light profiles of nearby early type galaxies are known to exhibit a smooth transition from nuclear light deficits to nuclear light excesses with decreasing galaxy mass, with as much as 80 per cent of the galaxies with stellar masses below 10^10 Msun hosting a massive nuclear star cluster. At the same time, while all massive galaxies are thought to harbor nuclear super-massive black holes (SMBHs), observational evidence for SMBHs is slim at the low end of the mass function. Here, we explore the environmental dependence of the nucleation fraction by comparing two homogeneous samples of nearby field vs. cluster early type galaxies with uniform Hubble Space Telescope (HST) coverage. Existing Chandra X-ray Telescope data for both samples yield complementary information on low-level accretion onto nuclear SMBHs. Specifically, we report on dual-band (F475W & F850LP) Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) imaging data for 28 out of the 103 field early type galaxies that compose the AMUSE-Field Chandra survey, and compare our results against the companion HST and Chandra surveys for a sample of 100 Virgo cluster early types (ACS Virgo Cluster and AMUSE-Virgo surveys, respectively). We model the two-dimensional light profiles of the field targets to identify and characterize NSCs, and find a field nucleation fraction of 26% (+17%, -11%; at the 1-sigma level), consistent with the measured Virgo nucleation fraction of 30% (+17%, -12%), across a comparable mass distribution. Coupled with the Chandra result that SMBH activity is higher for the field, our findings indicate that, since the last epoch of star formation, the funneling of gas to the nuclear regions has been inhibited more effectively for Virgo galaxies, arguably via ram pressure stripping.

description: In Eneolithic Europe, the complexity of mortuary differentiation increased with the complexity of the society at large. Human remains from the Verteba Cave provide a unique opportunity to study the lives, deaths and cultural practices of the Cucuteni-Trypillia culture in Western Ukraine. The subterranean sanctuary of Verteba was without a doubt a rallying point of both religious and social significance. Therefore, this investigation focuses on the role and character of ritual activities, the diversity and variety of religious orientations in the Eneolithic period and the question of how and for what reason this particular cave was modified from a natural space to a sacred place. We also seek to clarify the research potential of the site in relation to highly developed and relatively wide-spread religion with direct implications for the Cucuteni-Trypillia social structure.

description: The IAM COMPACT model ensemble was strategically selected to be flexible enough to allow for the assessment of emerging issues in response to urgent policy needs. An early modelling exercise aimed to provide quick insights into the energy supply crisis in Europe, by exploring the trade-offs among different approaches to replacing Russian gas in the bloc, aiming to understand and quantify their implications to energy sustainability, affordability, and emissions within the EU.  

Emerging questions aside, the project builds on a detailed, multi-step policy response mechanism that co-defines the most pertinent policy questions with EC and national policymakers, groups these questions into Studies, co-designs a scenario framework and a series of critical aspects that the consortium is expected to explore, before carrying out modelling analyses aimed at addressing these questions, revisiting them, and co-creating policy prescriptions. As part of the first policy response mechanism cycle, seven such studies were put together, each documented in different deliverables; to address each, however, a common baseline must be defined, one that considers a reference scenario reflecting current policies, near-term pledges, and longer-term commitments. This deliverable thus documents this exercise, by analysing the trajectory of global CO2 emissions considering current mitigation efforts, including updated policies, NDCs for 2030, and new long-term strategies that were put in place in the run-up to or after COP26.  

The deliverable finally includes a set of mitigation scenarios for major emitting nations, namely India, China, and the USA, co-created with stakeholders as part of this first policy response mechanism cycle.

description: Obwohl seit über 140 Jahren Trepanationen archäologisch und anthropologisch untersucht werden, sind die Ursachen noch nicht erforscht. Verschiedene Theorien wurden im Laufe der Jahre aufgestellt und wieder verworfen. Immer noch werden in der Literatur medizinische Indikationen und rituelle Motive besprochen, um das Phänomen der Schädeloperationen zu deuten. Besonders der Status der trepanierten Individuen wird hervorgehoben, um die geringe Anzahl innerhalb der vielen schnurkeramischen Funde in Mitteldeutschland zu erklären. Trotzdem wurden die Trepanationen häufig nur in engen Zusammenhängen untersucht. Dabei bleibt meistens außer Acht, dass die Eingriffe im kulturbezogenen Kontext untersucht werden und dass vor allem ein interdisziplinärer Austausch verschiedener Fachrichtungen stattfinden muss. In dieser Arbeit wurde angestrebt, die archäologischen Zusammenhänge zu erfassen und auszuwerten. Außerdem wurden anthropologische Parameter aufgenommen und miteinander verglichen. Die Anfertigung eines Katalogs, sowie von vier Datenlisten ermöglicht, dass das vorhandene Material für weitere Untersuchungen zur Verfügung steht. Insgesamt wurden 18 Gräber mit Eingriffen mit 40 Vergleichsgräbern der Schnurkeramik verglichen. Als zentrale Fragestellung wurde der soziale Status der trepanierten Individuen untersucht. Durch ein eng eingegrenztes Untersuchungsgebiet und zeitlich auf eine Kulturgruppe beschränkt, wurde versucht die Stellung der Individuen innerhalb der Bevölkerungsgruppe zu analysieren. Dazu wurde einerseits der Gesamtkontext der Schnurkeramiker verglichen und andererseits ein kleinregionaler Bezug innerhalb einiger Gräberfelder hergestellt.

description: Benzoquinone (BQ, 1,4-dihydroxybenzene) and catechol (CC, 1,2-dihydroxybenzene) are considered as emerging microcontaminants due to their persistent toxicity for plants and animals. Therefore, it is of great importance to monitor these contaminants in groundwater. This work proposes a novel sensor based on a multiwalled carbon nanotubes functionalised with carbonyls, and iron oxide nanoparticles (MWCNT-COOH/Fe2O3) for simultaneous determination of BQ and CC. The nanomaterials were characterised by Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Cyclic Voltammetry (CV). The electrochemical determination of BQ and CC has been studied using differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) technique on glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified with MWCNT-COOH/Fe2O3 nanocomposite (MWCNT-COOH/Fe2O3/GCE). The developed new method under optimised experimental conditions was applied successfully for the simultaneous determination of BQ and CC in spiked underground water sample, pH 5.0 (Britton Robson – BR buffer). For DPV measurements, the following parameters were used after optimisation: Einitial = 0.0 V, Efinal = 0.40 V; scan rate = 0.01 V s−1 and pulse amplitude = 0.07 V. The linearity range of both analytes BQ and CC was 8–100 µmol L−1 with limits of detection (DLs) of 3.46 µmol L−1 and 1.52 µmol L−1, respectively. Good average results of recovery (n = 3) were obtained in spiked environmental samples for BQ (sample 1: 98.16%; sample 2: 100.55%) and CC (sample 1: 97.44%; sample 2: 97.84%), with precision (relative standard deviation) of 4.5% and 5.6%, respectively.

description: The UKIDSS Galactic Plane Survey (GPS) began in 2005 as a 7 year effort to survey ~1800 square degrees of the northern Galactic plane in the J, H, and K passbands. The survey included a second epoch of K band data, with a baseline of 2 to 8 years, for the purpose of investigating variability and measuring proper motions. We have calculated proper motions for 167 Million sources in a 900 square degree area located at l > 60 degrees in order to search for new high proper motion objects. Visual inspection has verified 617 high proper motion sources (> 200 mas/yr) down to K=17, of which 153 are new discoveries. Among these we have a new spectroscopically confirmed T5 dwarf, an additional T dwarf with estimated type T6, 13 new L dwarf candidates, and two new common proper motion systems containing ultracool dwarf candidates. We provide improved proper motions for an additional 12 high proper motion stars that were independently discovered in the WISE dataset during the course of this investigation.

description: Relativistic many-body methods at different levels of approximations are employed to gain insights into the passage of the electron correlations from lower to higher levels in the accurate determination of the electric dipole polarizability ($α_d$) and electric dipole moment (EDM) due to the electron-nucleus tensor-pseudotensor (T-PT) and nuclear Schiff moment (NSM) interactions of the $^{199}$Hg ground state. Moreover, plausible reasons for the differences in the previous calculations are pointed out. Comparison between the calculated and experimental results of $α_d$ indicates that our EDM calculations are about 3\% accurate which in combination with the measured value of $^{199}$Hg EDM yield limits for the T-PT coupling constant $C_T < 2.31 \times 10^{-9}$ and the NSM $S<1.55 \times 10^{-12}|e|fm^3$. From this limit of $S$ and the latest nuclear structure calculation, we get improved limits for the strong CP violating parameter $θ_{QCD} < 2.12 \times 10^{-10}$ and the combined up and down quark chromo-EDMs $(-0.004 \tilde{d}_u + 0.020 \tilde{d}_d) < 1.15 \times 10^{-27} |e| cm$.

description: To assess the burden of disease of chronic pain in Colombia. We estimated disability adjusted life years (DALYs) attributable to chronic pain using Global Burden of Disease (GBD) method. We identified diagnostic codes related to chronic pain considering lumbar pain, osteoarthritis, post-herpetic neuralgia, diabetic neuropathy, cancer-related pain, and others. We estimated the prevalent cases by sex and age-group using local administrative databases and literature. We assumed that pain would not cause premature death, so we only estimated years lived with disability using disability weights obtained from the GBD. We used a prevalence-based approach, without discounting or age-group adjustment. We calculated total DALYs and DALYs/100,000 inhabitants. We estimated a total of 5,545,019 patients with chronic pain. We calculated 491,626 DALYs or 976 DALYs/100,000 inhabitants attributable to chronic pain. Low back pain, osteoarthritis, and cancer-related pain were the most important groups. This study estimates that chronic pain contributes a significant quantity of DALYs, especially related to low back pain, osteoarthritis, and cancer-related pain. Chronic pain should be considered in the public health agenda.

description: Staphylococcus aureus is an opportunistic pathogen that can cause severe infections of the human respiratory tract. The airway epithelium forms the first line of defense against this pathogen, but how exactly this layer of multiple differentiated cell types fends off an S. aureus challenge was so far poorly understood. Therefore, our present study aimed to assess how primary airway epithelial cells exert their protective effect against S. aureus infection. To this end we cultured primary bronchial and tracheobronchial epithelial cells at an air-liquid interface over a 28-day period, and we related the increase in transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER) to staphylococcal cell invasion. The results show that formation of a tight primary epithelial cell barrier sets a major limit to S. aureus invasion. The involvement of epithelial cell-cell junctions was corroborated with E-cadherin-deficient bronchial epithelial cells, which are significantly more susceptible to bacterial adhesion, invasion and cytotoxicity than their wild-type counterparts. As shown by RNA sequencing, prior to barrier formation, primary airway epithelial cells respond to an S. aureus challenge by increased expression of cadherin genes, implying a compensatory mechanism to reinforce epithelial junctions. Conversely, airway epithelial cells in a tight and differentiated mucociliary barrier respond to S. aureus by inducing cell death- and apoptosis-related pathways, potentially to eliminate infected cells. We conclude that formation of a tight epithelial barrier, combined with an appropriate temporal shift in the cellular responses to S. aureus-imposed ‘infection stress’, are critical aspects of the airway epithelial strategy to manage and resolve staphylococcal infections.

description: Presented at the GHRSST XXIII international science team meeting, 27 June-1 July 2022, online and in-person (Barcelona). #GHRSST23 Short abstract The FengYun-3E(FY-3E) satellite is the first early-morning orbit satellite in China’s polar orbiting meteorological satellite family. It was launched from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center of China on July 5, 2021. Its local time at descending node is 5:30 AM. The split window data of Medium Resolution Spectral Imager-Low Light(MERSI-LL) onboard FY-3E is used to estimate SST. Bias and RMSE of FY3E/MERSI-LL SST from January to February 2022 are -0.02 and 0.47 by comparison with in situ buoy data(iQUAM). Further validation against in situ and CMC will be discussed during the GHRSST23 meeting.

description: Integrated photonics promises solutions to questions of stability, complexity, and size in quantum optics. Advances in tunable and non-planar integrated platforms, such laser-inscribed photonics, continue to bring the realisation of quantum advantages in computation and metrology ever closer, perhaps most easily seen in multi-path interferometry. Here we demonstrate control of two-photon interference in a chip-scale 3D multi-path interferometer, showing a reduced periodicity and enhanced visibility compared to single photon measurements. Observed non-classical visibilities are widely tunable, and explained well by theoretical predictions based on classical measurements. With these predictions we extract a Fisher information approaching a theoretical maximum, demonstrating the capability of the device for quantum enhanced phase measurements.

description: In Russia, before 2022, the list of vital and essential drugs for HIV-infected patients previously untreated with antiretroviral drugs included the fixed-dose combination rilpivirine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate/emtricitabine (RPV/TDF/FTC) but not doravirine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate/lamivudine (DOR/TDF/3TC). An indirect comparison of the efficacy of DOR/TDF/3TC and RPV/TDF/FTC defined by virologic suppression (HIV-1 RNA of <50 copies/mL at week 48) was made. The per-patient drug costs over 1 year were compared in a cost-minimization analysis. A budget impact analysis considered the costs to the healthcare system of including DOR/TDF/3TC as a treatment option for eligible patients in Russia over a 3-year time horizon. The indirect treatment comparison of DOR/TDF/3TC and RPV/TDF/FTC in treatment-naïve patients with baseline HIV-1 RNA 100,000 copies/ml or less showed no statistically significant difference (RR 0.914, 95% CI 0.833–1.003). In the cost-minimization analysis, the per-patient cost of one year of treatment with RPV/TDF/FTC and DOR/TDF/3TC was, respectively, ₽320,975 and ₽151,192, for a saving of ₽169,783. In the budget impact analysis, the adoption of DOR/TDF/3TC into clinical practice is expected to reduce drug costs by ₽333 million (23.8%) in year 3. Fixed-dose combination DOR/TDF/3TC is equally effective and cost-saving compared to RPV/TDF/FTC from Russian vital and essential drugs list perspective.
