description: Recently, the authors have demonstrated large-scale integrated systems with several million transistors and hundreds of photonic elements. Yielding such large-scale integrated systems requires a design-for-manufacture rigour that is embodied in the 10 000 to 50 000 design rules that these designs must comply within advanced complementary metal-oxide semiconductor manufacturing. Here, the authors present a photonic design automation tool which allows automatic generation of layouts without design-rule violations. This tool is written in SKILL, the native language of the mainstream electric design automation software, Cadence. This allows seamless integration of photonic and electronic design in a single environment. The tool leverages intuitive photonic layer definitions, allowing the designer to focus on the physical properties rather than on technology-dependent details. For the first time the authors present an algorithm for removal of design-rule violations from photonic layouts based on Manhattan discretisation, Boolean and sizing operations. This algorithm is not limited to the implementation in SKILL, and can in principle be implemented in any scripting language. Connectivity is achieved with software-defined waveguide ports and low-level procedures that enable auto-routing of waveguide connections.

description: In this study we report the results of study of novel ternary $Np_2PtGa_3$ compound. The x-ray-powder diffraction analysis reveals that the compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic CeCu$_2$-type crystal structure (space group Imma) with lattice parameters $a$ = 0.4409(2) nm, $b$ = 0.7077(3) nm and $c$ = 0.7683(3) nm at room temperature. The measurements of dc magnetization, specific heat and electron transport properties in the temperature range 1.7 - 300 K and in magnetic fields up to 9 T imply that this intermetallic compound belongs to a class of ferromagnetic Kondo systems. The Curie temperature of $T_C \sim$ 26 K is determined from the magnetization and specific heat data. An enhanced coefficient of the electronic specific heat of $γ$ = 180 mJ/(mol at. Np K$^2$) and -ln\T dependence of the electrical resistivity indicate the presence of Kondo effect, which can be described in terms of the S = 1 underscreened Kondo-lattice model. The estimated Kondo temperature $T_K \sim$ 24 K, Hall mobility of $\sim$ 16.8 cm$^2$/Vs and effective mass of $\sim$ 83 $m_e$ are consistent with assumption that the heavy-fermion state develops in $Np_2PtGa_3$ at low temperatures. We compare the observed properties of $Np_2PtGa_3$ to that found in $Np_2PtGa_3$ and discuss their difference in regard to change in the exchange interaction between the conduction and localized 5f electrons. We have used the Fermi wave vector $k_F$ to evaluate the Rudermann-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida (RKKY) exchange. Based on experimental data of the (U, Np)$_2$(Pd, Pt)Ga$_3$ compounds we suggest that the evolution of the magnetic ground states in these actinide compounds can be explained within the RKKY formalism.

Characterising the heat shock response in Trypanosoma congolense

Publisher: name: Lancaster University

description: Trypanosoma congolense causes significant economic burden across Sub-Saharan Africa, as it is the causative agent of Animal African Trypanosomiasis (AAT), a wasting disease affecting cattle which currently has no effective pharmaceutical treatment. T. congolense is a close relative of Trypanosoma brucei, they co-infect the same hosts so have been exposed to similar evolutionary selective pressures, and it is expected they will show similarities in host interactions. While T. brucei is a well-studied model organism, very little experimental work has been performed using T. congolense as tools have only recently been developed for genetic manipulation, but now is the time to use them to investigate the survival and infection mechanisms of the parasite. One of the major symptoms of AAT is a high fever which T. congolense responds to by eliciting the heat shock response, an important virulence factor which allows the parasite to survive in the host. The aim of this project is to characterise the T. congolense heat shock response, as understanding the mechanisms involved could pave the way for discovering novel drug targets in this parasite. It was found that T. congolense displays a very different heat shock response to T. brucei at both 41 °C and 42 °C, with 10% more cell death but less severe lag in growth in the 24 hours after heat shock. DHH1 and ZC3H11, proteins shown to be involved in heat shock, were successfully fluorescently tagged in BSF cells for both species, and a distinct re-localisation of DHH1 into foci can be seen in T. brucei cells upon heat shock but not in T. congolense. Flow cytometry analysis of cells in the period after heat shock revealed that both species arrest in G2/M, 4 hours after heat shock for T. brucei and 6 hours for T. congolense, which may be linked to cell cycle phase differentiation. Overall, T. congolense may have a more different heat shock response that T. brucei than expected. This is some of the first work investigating specific pathways in T. congolense and many techniques were successfully competed for the first time in this laboratory.

description: Il desiderio non s’insegna: si testimonia. Nell’attitudine pedagogica di Pasolini rientra il tentativo di trasmettere ai giovani la capacità di desiderare. Ma è possibile trasmettere il desiderio? In che misura è ereditabile la capacità di desiderare? Testimoniare questa capacità, frutto di un impasto di tempi e di affetti, diviene l’ultimo compito che Pasolini scelse di assumersi, attraverso opere “indialettiche”, spalancate sulla contraddizione del vivere: la sceneggiatura del film mai realizzato su San Paolo, e poi Teorema, La nuova gioventù, Salò e Petrolio. Oltre le ragioni condivisibili della protesta studentesca, leggeva nel movimento le agitazioni insensate e velleitarie. Da un lato, vi coglieva la reazione legittima contro la mortificazione del desiderio voluta dal capitalismo consumista, e si sentì quindi compagno di strada degli studenti. Comprese però che non avevano riconosciuto l’altro obiettivo del Palazzo, il sostanziale rifiuto di quell’eccesso che è il godimento, ingestibile dal capitalismo perché fuori da ogni sua logica. Nella «misteriosa volontà a non essere figli» dei ragazzi del Sessantotto, Pasolini legge la rinuncia a farsi carico, sia pur criticamente, di qualsiasi eredità. La loro “colpa” di figli consisteva nell’acritica accettazione della vettorialità del tempo borghese, senza concepire la possibilità che si desse una storia alternativa, che si dovesse tornare indietro e ricominciare daccapo.

description: Spin-torque oscillators are strong candidates as nano-scale microwave generators and detectors. However, because of large amplitude-phase coupling (non-linearity), phase noise is enhanced over other linear auto-oscillators. One way to reduce nonlinearity is to use ferromagnetic layers as a resonator and excite them at localized spots, making a resonator-excitor pair. We investigated the excitation of oscillations in dipole-coupled ferromagnetic layers, driven by localized current at ferromagnetic nano-contacts. Oscillations possessed properties of optical-mode spin-waves and at low field ($\approx$200 Oe) had high frequency (15 GHz), a moderate precession amplitude (2--3$^\circ$), and a narrow spectral linewidth ($

description: In the industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), digital platforms have recently received significant attention. Although IIoT platforms revolve around similar business objectives, they address various use cases and, thus, differ considerably in their architectural setup. While research has already investigated IIoT platforms from a business or design perspective, little is known about their underlying technology stack and its implications. To unveil different IIoT platform configurations and better understand their architectural design, we systematically develop and validate a taxonomy of IIoT platforms’ architectural features based on related literature, real-world cases, and expert interviews. On this foundation, we identify and discuss five IIoT platform archetypes. Our findings contribute to the descriptive knowledge in this ambiguous research field while also elucidating the interplay of IIoT platforms’ architectural setup and their purpose. From a managerial viewpoint, our results may guide practitioners in comparing and selecting a suitable IIoT platform.

Mass ejection from neutron star mergers: different components and expected radio signals

Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)

description: In addition to producing a strong gravitational signal, a short gamma-ray burst (GRB), and a compact remnant, neutron star mergers eject significant masses at significant kinetic energies. This mass ejection takes place via dynamical mass ejection and a GRB jet but other processes have also been suggested: a shock-breakout material, a cocoon resulting from the interaction of the jet with other ejecta, and viscous and neutrino driven winds from the central remnant or the accretion disk. The different components of the ejected masses include up to a few percent of a solar mass, some of which is ejected at relativistic velocities. The interaction of these ejecta with the surrounding interstellar medium will produce a long lasting radio flare, in a similar way to GRB afterglows or to radio supernovae. The relative strength of the different signals depends strongly on the viewing angle. An observer along the jet axis or close to it will detect a strong signal at a few dozen days from the radio afterglow (or the orphan radio afterglow) produced by the highly relativistic GRB jet. For a generic observer at larger viewing angles, the dynamical ejecta, whose contribution peaks a year or so after the event, will generally dominate. Depending on the observed frequency and the external density, other components may also give rise to a significant contribution. We also compare these estimates with the radio signature of the short GRB 130603B. The radio flare from the dynamical ejecta might be detectable with the EVLA and the LOFAR for the higher range of external densities $n\gtrsim 0.5{\rm cm^{-3}}$.

description: Hoplodactylus delcourti is a presumably extinct species of diplodactylid gecko known only from a single specimen of unknown provenance. It is by far the largest known gekkotan, approximately 50% longer than the next largest-known species. It has been considered a member of the New Zealand endemic genus Hoplodactylus based on external morphological features including shared toe pad structure. We obtained DNA from a bone sample of the only known specimen to generate high-throughput sequence data suitable for phylogenetic analysis of its evolutionary history. Complementary sequence data were obtained from a broad sample of diplodactylid geckos. Our results indicate that the species is not most closely related to extant Hoplodactylus or any other New Zealand gecko. Instead, it is a member of a clade whose living species are endemic to New Caledonia. Phylogenetic comparative analyses indicate that the New Caledonian diplodactylid clade has evolved significantly more disparate body sizes than either the Australian or New Zealand clades. Toe pad structure has changed repeatedly across diplodactylids, including multiple times in the New Caledonia clade, partially explaining the convergence in form between H. delcourti and New Zealand Hoplodactylus. Based on the phylogenetic results, we place H. delcourti in a new genus.

description: We investigate local phase transitions of the solvent in the neighborhood of a solvophobic polymer chain which is induced by a change of the polymer-solvent repulsion and the solvent pressure in the bulk solution. We describe the polymer in solution by the Edwards model, where the conditional partition function of the polymer chain at a fixed radius of gyration is described by a mean-field theory. The contributions of the polymer-solvent and the solvent-solvent interactions to the total free energy are described within the mean-field approximation. We obtain the total free energy of the solution as a function of the radius of gyration and the average solvent number density within the gyration volume. The resulting system of coupled equations is solved varying the polymer-solvent repulsion strength at high solvent pressure in the bulk. We show that the coil-globule (globule-coil) transition occurs accompanied by a local solvent evaporation (condensation) within the gyration volume

description: Enterocyte invasion by the gastrointestinal pathogen Salmonella enterica is accompanied by loss of brush border and massive remodeling of the actin cytoskeleton, leading to microvilli effacement and formation of membrane ruffles. These manipulations are mediated by effector proteins translocated by the Salmonella Pathogenicity Island 1-encoded type III secretion system (SPI1-T3SS). To unravel the mechanisms of microvilli effacement and contribution of SPI1-T3SS effector proteins, the dynamics of host-pathogen interactions was analyzed using live cell imaging (LCI) of polarized epithelial cells (PEC) expressing LifeAct-GFP. PEC were infected with S. enterica wild-type and mutant strains with defined defects in SPI1-T3SS effector proteins, and pharmacological inhibition of actin assembly were applied. We identified that microvilli effacement involves two distinct mechanisms: i) F-actin depolymerization mediated by villin and ii), the consumption of cytoplasmic G-actin by formation of membrane ruffles. By analyzing the contribution of individual SPI1-T3SS effector proteins, we demonstrate that SopE dominantly triggers microvilli effacement and formation of membrane ruffles. Furthermore, SopE via Rac1 indirectly manipulates villin, which culminates in F-actin depolymerization. Collectively, these results indicate that SopE has dual functions during F-actin remodeling in PEC. While SopE-Rac1 triggers F-actin polymerization and ruffle formation, activation of PLCγ and villin by SopE depolymerizes F-actin in PEC. These results demonstrate the key role of SopE in destruction of the intestinal barrier during intestinal infection by Salmonella.

description: To make a positive contribution to the development of Brussels as a Smart City, Brussels Smart City, a common project of the Brussels-Capital Region and the Centre d\'Informatique pour la Region Bruxelloise (CIRB), takes part in the Region\'s digital strategy. Through this project, the players involved want to use technology, digitalization and IT architecture to: make a positive contribution to urban life, stimulate the Brussels Region creating opportunities for urban development and building bridges between citizens, the private sector, academia and public institutions. Concerning UAVs, they have invested in a specialized unit of the federal police. This unit supports the 6 police zones and other partners in the security chain (such as Brussels Mobility or the SIAMU). The drones have become a complementary tool to the helicopter. [1] The number of professional UAV pilots in Belgium continues to grow: at present, there are more than one thousand professional pilots. Since 31 December 2020, flying with UAVs has been subject to new European regulations that stimulate much attention from the press. [2] Brussels Mobility is very interested to integrate UAVs as a complementary tool for mobility management. This paper will present in detail the different initiatives that have been taken in this field, and in particular with the federal police\'s drone team, and the future perspectives. Brussels is not the only city to take a close interest in this, Europe and other cities such as Dubai are working and sharing their progress [3]. Here we will present three concrete applications that have been carried out with drones within Brussels Mobility: the use of drones during our mega-control, the integration of drones during fire drills in the tunnels of Brussels and, finally, the use of a drone to count traffic before modifying a roadway. And last but not least, we will present you different ideas for integrating more UAVs in the future, for example : being able to rapidly deploy visualization systems in a short period of time in order to follow a traffic event or to help the surveillance of building sites. In summary, a series of initiatives to contribute to the development of a European capital smarter than ever !

description: We consider the problem of erasure/list decoding using certain classes of simplified decoders. Specifically, we assume a class of erasure/list decoders, such that a codeword is in the list if its likelihood is larger than a threshold. This class of decoders both approximates the optimal decoder of Forney, and also includes the following simplified subclasses of decoding rules: The first is a function of the output vector only, but not the codebook (which is most suitable for high rates), and the second is a scaled version of the maximum likelihood decoder (which is most suitable for low rates). We provide single-letter expressions for the exact random coding exponents of any decoder in these classes, operating over a discrete memoryless channel. For each class of decoders, we find the optimal decoder within the class, in the sense that it maximizes the erasure/list exponent, under a given constraint on the error exponent. We establish the optimality of the simplified decoders of the first and second kind for low and high rates, respectively.

description: In the Ising model on the simple cubic lattice, we describe the inverse temperature $β$ and other quantities relevant for the computation of critical quantities in terms of a dimensionless squared mass $M$. The critical behaviors of those quantities are represented by the linear differential equations with constant coefficients which are related to critical exponents. We estimate the critical temperature and exponents via an expansion in the inverse powers of the mass under the use of $δ$-expansion. The critical inverse temperature $β_{c}$ is estimated first in unbiased manner and then critical exponents are also estimated in biased and unbiased self-contained way including $ω$, the correction-to-scaling exponent, $ν$, $η$ and $γ$.

description: Shewanella oneidensis is an electroactive soil bacterium that has shown promise for environmental remediation of both inorganic and organic pollutants. The bacterium accomplishes this process through extracellular electron transfer (EET), which is capable of reducing both soluble and insoluble oxidized substrates. However, like many remediation platforms that rely on metabolic activity, S. oneidensis is sensitive to high concentrations of toxic pollutants and can demonstrate slow degradation kinetics. To improve the environmental remediation capacity of S. oneidensis, we used two strategies: a) activating a synergistic effect between metabolism and material effects and b) engineering of the EET pathway (MtrCAB) for increased enzymatic activity. For the first strategy, we combine the native respiration of S. oneidensis with the high adsorption capacities of metal-organic frameworks to generate a platform for the remediation of redox-active metals. In Chapter 2, we demonstrate that S. oneidensis can respire on Fe(III)-based metal-organic frameworks via the MtrCAB pathway and that, in conjunction with continued microbial respiration, these bio-functionalized materials can be leveraged for synergistic removal of Cr(VI). In Chapter 3, we extend this platform to the recovery of Au(III) using the metal-organic framework MIL-127. In Chapter 4, we demonstrate that exogenous proteins containing produced by the yeast Yarrowia lipolytica can be used to increase the Fe(III) reduction rate of S. oneidensis. The increased production of Fe(II) can be leveraged for improved bacteria-material remediation strategies. For the second strategy, we use directed evolution and rational design to increase the activity of the outer membrane cytochrome MtrC of S. oneidensis. In Chapter 5, we demonstrate that the directed evolution of S. oneidensis MtrC results in improved degradation performance of organic dyes. Together, this work demonstrates the advantage of increasing electron flux to redox-active substrates through both material effects and protein engineering. These strategies can be implemented to improve current remediation platforms that rely on adsorption or bacterial metabolism.

description: The interplay of electronic nematic modulations, magnetic order, superconductivity and structural distortions in strongly correlated electron materials calls for methods which allow characterizing them simultaneously - to allow establishing directly the relationship between these different phenomena. Spin-polarized STM enables studying both, electronic excitations as well as magnetic structure in the same measurement at the atomic scale. Here we demonstrate preparation of magnetic tips, both ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic, on single crystals of FeTe. This opens up preparation of spin-polarized tips without the need for sophisticated ultra-high vacuum preparation.

description: With growing interest in ethically- and environmentally-sound fashion systems, regional economic resilience, and community climate action, this research aimed to investigate the feasibility to upscale a localised and low-carbon textile system. Using a case study approach of the ‘Homegrown/Homespun’ textile initiative in Blackburn, East Lancashire, the thesis highlights the opportunities and tensions involved in upscale, focusing on a proposed flax and natural indigo supply chain. Guided by the triple bottom line (TBL) framework for sustainability (Elkington, 1998), a mixed-methods approach drew conclusions from primary and secondary quantitative and qualitative data. Contributing to a growing interdisciplinary field of research, the thesis is situated between the fields of environmental research, sustainable supply chain management, transitions research, and environmental psychology. The research findings recommend a gradual re-localisation, recognising the short-term trade-offs between elements of sustainability within a long-term vision towards a UK-based sustainable textiles industry. Collaborative endeavours across the industry are suggested to support economic feasibility, considering the current economic and infrastructural challenges. The carbon life cycle assessment (LCA) proposes flax-based denim to be a low-carbon fibre alternative, potentially with less than half the associated carbon impact of a cotton pair of jeans. A participatory action approach supported holistic and community-centric research into social sustainability within TBL. Findings from a small sample imply the ‘Homegrown/Homespun’ project facilitates the behavioural and psychological capability of the volunteering community to engage in environmental action. This research has supported a greater understanding of upscaling sustainable business models and considering the prospects for re-shoring garment manufacturing to a high-cost economy, building on existing literature. The thesis contributes an indepth account of upscaling efforts from small-scale initiatives grounded in sustainability principles and innovative thinking.

description: Il saggio si propone di analizzare il significato di un’espressione comune come “non vorrei dire un’eresia”, anche attraverso un’analisi del suo uso politico, condotta mediante corpora linguistici. La proposta di recuperare questo modo di dire, si fonda sul valore profondamente filosofico e non retorico, dell’espressione, che rimanda al significato etimologico del termine che ha il senso di scelta, in particolare di adozione di principi che orientano la condotta di vita. L’accostamento di eresia e filosofia consente di recuperare il modello di pensiero critico, di ritorno all’originario filosofare socratico considerato da Hannah Arendt cifra dell’autentica umanità e l’unico baluardo contro ogni forma di dominazione.

description: Глобализация и складывающаяся геополитическая обстановка крайне остро актуализировали необходимость тотального повышения конкурентоспособности экономики национального хозяйства Российской Федерации и глубокого ее интегрирования в мировую экономику. Эксперты отмечают множество недостатков реализуемой государственной политики РФ касательно развития и финансирования инноваций, выделяя, что она не позволила в заданные сроки обеспечить существенный качественный рост новаторской деятельности в регионах, а также вывода на международные рынки прорывных инновационной и высокотехнологичной промышленной продукции с надлежащим уровнем добавленной стоимости. Также при этом отмечается низкая восприимчивость большей части сотрудников к разнообразным нововведениям, и особенно, недопустимо низкий уровень развития инновационного потенциала человеческого капитала. Опыт экономически развитых стран показывает, что именно человеческий капитал выступает в качестве креативного ядра формирования устойчивой экономической динамики в условиях развития инновационной экономики. Нам представляется, что наличие в РФ крайне широкого уровня инновационной активности человеческого капитала есть следствие неэффективного управления процессом его построения и развития. Однозначно, что в таких условиях даже достаточные инвестиционные вложения в высокотехнологичные отрасли не позволяют обеспечить заданный эффект. Все это делает довольно проблематичным формирование инновационно ориентированной экономики, а значит, и достижения значимого роста ее конкурентоспособности. Безусловно, это подтверждает высокую значимость инновационной составляющей в формировании человеческого капитала в качестве ключевого фактора социо-эколого-экономического развития Российской Федерации, что и обусловило выбор темы нашего исследования.
A New Chemical Evolution Model for Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies based on Observed Long Star Formation Histories

description: We present a new chemical evolution model for dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs) in the Local Universe. Our main aim is to explain both their observed star formation histories and metallicity distribution functions simultaneously. Applying our new model for the four local dSphs, that is, Fornax, Sculptor, Leo II, and Sextans, we find that our new model reproduces the observed chemical properties of the dSphs consistently. Our results show that the dSphs have evolved with both a low star formation efficiency and a large gas outflow efficiency compared with the Milky Way, as suggested by previous works. Comparing the observed [alpha/Fe]--[Fe/H] relation of the dSphs with the model predictions, we find that our model favors a longer onset time of Type Ia supernovae (i.e., 0.5 Gyr) than that suggested in previous studies (i.e., 0.1 Gyr). We discuss the origin of this discrepancy in detail.

description: In the present work, we consider the mass in mass (or mass with mass) system of granular chains, namely a granular chain involving additionally an internal resonator. For these chains, we rigorously establish that under suitable "anti-resonance" conditions connecting the mass of the resonator and the speed of the wave, bell-shaped traveling wave solutions continue to exist in the system, in a way reminiscent of the results proven for the standard granular chain of elastic Hertzian contacts. We also numerically touch upon settings where the conditions do not hold, illustrating, in line also with recent experimental work, that non-monotonic waves bearing non-vanishing tails may exist in the latter case.

description: Anti-tumor necrosis factor (anti-TNF) adherence is suboptimal. ava®, a reusable electromechanical self-injection device (e-Device) developed for certolizumab pegol (CZP) administration, aims to overcome some barriers to increase adherence. This study evaluates patient experience of the e-Device and its training materials and determines patient device preference. CZP-treated patients were recruited from the Netherlands, Denmark and Sweden. Patients completed a pre-injection Assessment of Self-Injection (ASI) questionnaire investigating self-injection perception. After training, patients administered 3 consecutive self-injections using the e-Device, patient experience of each was assessed using the post-injection ASI. An additional questionnaire evaluated training materials. After Injection 3, patients indicated their preference: the e-Device or their previous device. 59 patients participated; most rated the e-Device highly for satisfaction, self-confidence and ease of use. The (negative) feelings and pain and skin reactions domains had low ratings. Post-injection ASI domain scores were similar following each of the 3 e-Device injections. Training materials were rated highly (video: 8.4/10; step-by-step guide: 8.4/10). 57.1% (32/56) patients preferred the e-Device over their previous self-injection device. Patients were satisfied with the e-Device and most preferred it over other self-injection devices. By improving patient experience, the e-Device may help increase medication adherence.
