description: Current outdoor localization techniques fail to provide the required accuracy for estimating the car's lane. In this paper, we present LaneQuest: a system that leverages the ubiquitous and low-energy inertial sensors available in commodity smart-phones to provide an accurate estimate of the car's current lane. LaneQuest leverages hints from the phone sensors about the surrounding environment to detect the car's lane. For example, a car making a right turn most probably will be in the right-most lane, a car passing by a pothole will be in a specific lane, and the car's angular velocity when driving through a curve reflects its lane. Our investigation shows that there are amble opportunities in the environment, i.e. lane "anchors", that provide cues about the car's lane. To handle the ambiguous location, sensors noise, and fuzzy lane anchors; LaneQuest employs a novel probabilistic lane estimation algorithm. Furthermore, it uses an unsupervised crowd-sourcing approach to learn the position and lane-span distribution of the different lane-level anchors. Our evaluation results from implementation on different android devices and 260Km driving traces by 13 drivers in different cities shows that LaneQuest can detect the different lane-level anchors with an average precision and recall of more than 90%. This leads to an accurate detection of the exact car's lane position 80% of the time, increasing to 89% of the time to within one lane. This comes with a low-energy footprint, allowing LaneQuest to be implemented on the energy-constrained mobile devices.

description: Some commonly used chemicals have teratogenic effects. Perchloroethylene (PCE) is a liquid that is widely used in various industries and drying clothes. In this study, the teratogenic effects of PCE in rat embryos were investigated. In this experimental study, 32 adult Wistar female rats in the weight range of 230-250 g were used. Female rats were randomly divided into 4 groups (n = 8). Control group (without PCE inhalation), experimental group G(I) (exposed to PCE 18 days prior to mating), experimental group G(II) (exposed to PCE 18 days after mating) and experimental group G(III) (exposed to PCE 18 days before and 18 days after mating). Pregnant rats were anesthetized on the 18th day of gestation and then serum and embryos were removed for the required studies. Embryos were examined for number, weight, sex, morphometric parameters of organs, and tissue samples were prepared for histological studies. Serum isolated from dams were evaluated for sexual and gonadal hormones. The results of this study showed that PCE has teratogenic effects on rat embryos. Infertility and reduced birth rate were other effects of PCE in rats. PCE has teratogenic effects and impairs the reproductive system of rats.
Using boosted decision trees to identify supernova neutrino interactions in DUNE

description: The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is an upcoming experiment dedicated to the study of neutrino oscillation physics, nucleon decay, and core-collapse supernova neutrinos. Set for operation in 2026, DUNE will utilize the world's largest liquid argon time-projection chamber. For a 10 kpc core-collapse supernova, DUNE will observe about 3000 events through various interaction channels. These channels provide different information about the supernova burst and neutrino properties. DUNE must be able to distinguish the channels from one another to extract this information with high precision. This poster outlines tagging studies using machine learning methods (adaptive boosted decision tree algorithm in scikit-learn). These studies used simulations of three relevant neutrino channels: inelastic neutrino-argon charged-current, neutral-current, and neutrino-electron elastic scatter interactions.

description: Food and feed contamination by non-legislated mycotoxins beauvericin (BEA) and enniatin B (ENB) is a worldwide health concern in the present. The principal objective of this work is to assess some of the existing protocols to discover the single nucleotide variants (SNVs) in transcriptomic data obtained by RNA-seq from Jurkat cells in vitro samples individually exposed to BEA and ENB at three concentration levels (1.5, 3 and 5 µM). Moreover, previous transcriptomic results will be compared with new findings obtained using a different protocol. SNVs rs201003509 in BEA exposed cells and the rs36045790 in ENB were found in the differentially expressed genes in all doses compared to controls by means of the Genome Analysis Toolkit (GATK) Best Practices workflow. SNV-RNA-seq complementary pipeline did not show any SNV. Concerning gene expression, discrepant results were found for 1.5 µM BEA exposed cells compared with previous findings. However, 354 overlapped differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified in the three ENB concentrations used, with 147 matches with respect to the 245 DEGs found in the previous results. In conclusion, the two discovery SNVs protocols based on variant calling from RNA-seq used in this work displayed very different results and there were SNVs found manually not identified by any pipeline. Additionally, the new gene expression analysis reported comparable but non identical DEGs to the previous transcriptomic results obtained from these RNA-seq data.

description: Aquaculture has become imperative to cover the demands for dietary animal protein. Simultaneously, it has to overcome prejudices from excessive use of antibiotics and environmental impacts. Natural supplements are traditionally applied orally. In this study, we demonstrated another pathway: the gills. Humic substances are immunostimulants and a natural part of every aquatic ecosystem, making them ideal to be used as bath stimulants. Five and 50 mg C/L of a fulvic acid-rich humic substance was added for 28 days to the water of juvenile rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). This fulvic acid is characterized by a high content of phenolic moieties with persistent free radicals and a high electron exchange capacity. The high concentration of the fulvic acid significantly increased growth and reduced the food conversion ratio and the response to a handling-stressor. Phagocytosis and potential killing activity of head kidney leukocytes were increased, as well as the total oxyradical scavenging capacity (TOSC) and lysozyme activity in the gills. In conclusion, immunostimulation via gills is possible with our fulvic acid, and the high phenolic content improved overall health and stress resistance of fish.
The Relationship Between the Distribution of Red Ochre Burials and Human Migration Routes Around the Mediterranean Sea

description: The Relationship Between the Distribution of Red Ochre Burials and Human
Migration Routes Around the Mediterranean Sea

The prevailing theory regarding human migration routes around the Mediterranean
suggests that early humans migrated out of Africa, starting from modern-day Egypt,
and split into two branches. One branch journeyed westward into Southern Europe,
and another ventured East to Asia. Regardless of which migration theory is most
widely accepted, evidence from human burials, particularly those with red ochre—a
pigment among the earliest used by humans—provides insights. Red ochre is
commonly used in human burials either in the form of grave decorations or for corpse
markings.
 
Fourteen excavated red ochre burial sites have been organized and arranged in
chronological order and by geological position. Maps provided indicate the geological
distribution of the burials, the time frame that the burials originated from, and whether
analysis was conducted on the samples to ensure red ochre usage.
 
It was observed that the distribution of red ochre burials did not follow the accepted
trends of human migration routes. The trends derived from the distribution proposed
an origin in central Europe, somewhere around Germany and France, rather than in
Africa. Most burial sites considered were located in fertile lands (displayed as green
on the maps), while a few sites found in or near deserts have less ancient origin.
 
The results suggest that the availability of red ochre near human settlements could
have interfered with the distribution of the burials, as most burial sites were located
near potential red ochre excavation sites. The lack of burial sites in desert areas and
 
the age of the desert burials suggest that trade routes could have been established for
the desert settlements to access foreign sources of red ochres.
 
The conclusion reached in the study is that the distribution of red ochre burials is not
in accord with accepted human migration routes. This shows that red ochre usage is
influenced by factors other than human migration, such as the availability of ochres
near settlements. The geological analysis supports this theory. This study has
connected published information and provides a different insight into the subject from
another point of view. For future projects, consideration of more burial sites in
Eastern Europe and West Asia could be helpful to evaluate the conclusion.

description: This year, the LEGEND (Large Enriched Germanium Experiment for Neutrinoless Double-beta decay) Collaboration has begun the construction of its initial phase, LEGEND-200, using the existing GERDA infrastructure, with a final 1000-kg installation (LEGEND-1000) planned. Using a custom simulation module based on Geant4, we are examining the neutron-induced background from multiple origins, such as cosmogenic activation and radioactivity in detector materials. A variety of detector, veto, and shielding options are being investigated, with the goal of optimizing the final design of LEGEND-1000, and understanding its dependence on the project's location. I will be discussing the progress and status of this work.
WATCHMAN Sensitivity to Remote Reactor Discovery
Creators: name: Akindele, Tomi
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: The Water Cherenkov Monitor of Antineutrinos (WATCHMAN) is a planned demonstration of far-field reactor monitoring for nonproliferation. To date, antineutrino experiments dedicated to nonproliferation used compact sctintillator based detectors situated on the order of meters from the reactor core. This proximity to the reactor requires accommodations by the host facility, while detectors situated on the order of kilometers will allow for unobtrusive monitoring and verification of reactor activities. This poster details the sensitivity of the WATCHMAN detector to exlude the existence of undeclared reactors from a specified radial distance, and the presence of a hidden reactor near a declared reactor facility through Monte Carlo. The energy resolution and the lack of sensitivity to the lower portion of the reactor antineutrino energy spectrum limits the ability of WATCHMAN to simultaneously identify the range and power of a nuclear reactor complex.

description: This presentation —also available at https://julsraemy.ch/prezi/sts-ch-2023.html — focuses on situating data produced by humans and nonhumans engaged in the cultural heritage field and published on the Web in line with the Open Science and Citizen Science movements.It aims to map the associations among various communities of practice, particularly within libraries, archives and museums, and the precarious balance between exhaustiveness and a rigid structure of data description versus the potential for multiplying assertions, bypassing cataloguing rules and their underlying postcolonial constructs. The openness and interconnection of data makes it possible to examine the form of description as well as the method of publication, and inevitably to analyse the biases linked to the associated vocabularies, For instance, the Web, which has claimed to be a Semantic Web for several years now, has a centrepiece known as Resource Description Framework (RDF), a general method for describing and exchanging graph data and a Web standard since 2004. The Semantic Web offers major opportunities for the Humanities because it allows data to be reasoned together, to be understood by machines via RDF-based ontologies, a formal way to represent human-like knowledge. Developing infrastructures, or sites of assemblage, capable of creating and maintaining RDF statements and other related technologies or building on this standard to interconnect online records is not straightforward and requires a fair amount of socio-technical elements to be implemented. As a demonstration, I will look at the practices of two community-driven initiatives, mainly active in the cultural heritage field, through an Actor-Network Theory (ANT) lens, namely the International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF) and Linked Art, which have developed shared specifications and related services on agreed-upon design principles.

description: To maintain a stable Quality of Service (QoS), these systems require a sufficient allocation of resources. At the same time, over-provisioning can result in wasted energy and high operating costs. Therefore, to maximize resource utilization, autoscaling methods have been proposed that aim to efficiently match the resource allocation with the incoming workload. However, determining when and by how much to scale remains a significant challenge. Given the long-running nature of DSP jobs, scaling actions need to be executed at runtime, and to maintain a good QoS, they should be both accurate and infrequent. To address the challenges of autoscaling, the concept of self-adaptive systems is particularly fitting. These systems monitor themselves and their environment, adapting to changes with minimal need for expert involvement. This paper introduces Daedalus, a self-adaptive manager for autoscaling in DSP systems, which draws on the principles of self-adaption to address the challenge of efficient autoscaling. Daedalus monitors a running DSP job and builds performance models, aiming to predict the maximum processing capacity at different scale-outs. When combined with time series forecasting to predict future workloads, Daedalus proactively scales DSP jobs, optimizing for maximum throughput and minimizing both latencies and resource usage. We conducted experiments using Apache Flink and Kafka Streams to evaluate the performance of Daedalus against two state-of-the-art approaches. Daedalus was able to achieve comparable latencies while reducing resource usage by up to 71%.

description: Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LArTPC) is a type of particle imaging detectors that can record an image of charged particle trajectories with high (~mm/pixel) spatial resolution and calorimetric information. LArTPC is widely used in accelerator-based neutrino oscillation experiments, including Short Baseline Neutrino (SBN) program and Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE). The research team at SLAC leads the R&D of Machine Learning (ML) based full data reconstruction chain for LArTPCs, which aims at providing fully reconstructed event information that allows to infer the neutrino oscillation physics. In this poster, we present an overview of the full reconstruction chain, as well as details of its sub-module, the multi-particle interaction clustering using Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) which can address the challenge of disambiguating individual neutrino interaction at the DUNE near detector where we expect more than a dozen "neutrino pile-up" per event.

description: We use Hubble Space Telescope (HST) to reach the end of the white dwarf (WD) cooling sequence (CS) in the solar-metallicity open cluster NGC 6819. Our photometry and completeness tests show a sharp drop in the number of WDs along the CS at magnitudes fainter than mF606W = 26.050+/- 0.075. This implies an age of 2.25+/-0.20 Gyr, consistent with the age of 2.25+/-0.30 Gyr obtained from fits to the main-sequence turn-off. The use of different WD cooling models and initial-final-mass relations have a minor impact the WD age estimate, at the level of ~0.1 Gyr. As an important by-product of this investigation we also release, in electronic format, both the catalogue of all the detected sources and the atlases of the region (in two filters). Indeed, this patch of sky studied by HST (of size ~70 arcmin sq.) is entirely within the main Kepler-mission field, so the high-resolution images and deep catalogues will be particularly useful.

description: Abstract

In toll road construction, the availability of land significantly impacts the productivity of the work. The challenges encountered in the land acquisition process are not only related to land costs but also to the time required for its implementation. The existence of land that has not been fully acquired during the construction process is one of the main risk responses that impacts project duration. Risk management is crucial to reduce the occurrence of such risks. This research aims to identify the dominant risks in land acquisition for toll roads in DKI Jakarta Province. This study employed a descriptive research design with data analysis using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method. The research stages involve risk identification, risk analysis, and the development of response plans for dominant risks by experts. Data was collected through interviews and questionnaires, while secondary data such as literature, risk management of similar activities, and monthly reports were used to obtain information related to factors hindering the implementation of land acquisition for toll roads. There are four dominant risk factors that can affect land acquisition implementation: (1) The process of compensation for special land types (waqf, government-owned land, and village communal land) does not follow the procedures, (2) The implementation time of land acquisition does not comply with regulations, (3) Delays in certifying the acquired land, and (4) Delays in completing compensation for special land types.

description: Recently, the connection between Majorana fermions bound to defects in arbitrary dimensions, and complex momentum roots of the vanishing determinant of the corresponding bulk Bogoliubov-de Gennes (BdG) Hamiltonian, has been established (EPL, 2015, $\textbf{110}$, 67005). Based on this understanding, a formula has been proposed to count the number ($n$) of the zero energy Majorana bound states, which is related to the topological phase of the system. In this paper, we provide a proof of the counting formula and we apply this formula to a variety of 1d and 2d models belonging to the classes BDI, DIII and D. We show that we can successfully chart out the topological phase diagrams. Studying these examples also enables us to explicitly observe the correspondence between these complex momentum solutions in the Fourier space, and the localized Majorana fermion wavefunctions in the position space. Finally, we corroborate the fact that for systems with a chiral symmetry, these solutions are the so-called "exceptional points", where two or more eigenvalues of the complexified Hamiltonian coalesce.

Different samples of sources are considered: a) a clean sub-sample of the Fermi 3LAC catalog of blazars, b) a star-forming galaxy catalog, c) a sample of giant radio-galaxies, d) an jet-obscured AGN population, and e) a sample of 56 public very high energy track events from the IceCube experiment.\\ The results of a specific analysis for the blazar MG3 J225517+2409 are also reported. The blazar is showing evidence of flaring activity in Fermi data, and could be associated with a high energy track detected by IceCube in time-coincidence with the flare. An a posteriori significance of $2\sigma$ for the combination of ANTARES and IceCube data is reported.

description: Context: Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and meta-analyses can be used to detect variants that affect quantitative traits. Multi-breed GWAS may lead to increased power and precision compared with within-breed GWAS. However, not all causal variants segregate in all breeds, and variants that segregate in multiple breeds may have different allele frequencies in different breeds. It is not known how differences in minor allele frequency (MAF) affect multi-breed GWAS and meta-analyses. Aims Our aim was to study the impact of differences in MAF at causal variants on mapping power and precision. Methods We used real imputed sequence data to simulate quantitative traits in three dairy cattle breeds. Causal variants (QTN) were simulated according to the following three scenarios: variants with a similar MAF in all breeds, variants with a lower MAF in one breed than the other, and variants that each only segregated in one of the breeds. We analysed the simulated quantitative traits with three methods to compare mapping power and precision: within-breed GWAS, multi-breed GWAS and meta-analysis. Key results Our results indicated that the multi-breed analyses (multi-breed GWAS or meta-analysis) detected similar or more QTN than did within-breed GWAS, with improved mapping precision in most scenarios. However, when MAF differed between breeds, or variants were breed specific, the advantage of the multi-breed analyses over within breed GWAS decreased. Regardless of the type of QTN (similar MAF in all breeds, different MAF in different breeds, or only segregating in one breed), multi-breed GWAS and meta-analyses performed similar or better than did within-breed GWAS, demonstrating the benefits of multi-breed GWAS. We did not find large differences between the results obtained with the meta-analysis and multi-breed GWAS, confirming that a meta-analysis can be a suitable approximation of a multi-breed GWAS. Conclusions Our results showed that multi-breed GWAS and meta-analysis generally detect more QTN with improved precision than does within-breed GWAS, and that even with differences in MAF, multi-breed analyses did not perform worse than within-breed GWAS. Implications Our study confirmed the benefits of multi-breed GWAS and meta-analysis.

description: We find the analytic expressions for the Casimir free energy, entropy and pressure at low temperature in the configuration of two parallel plates made of magnetodielectic material. The cases of constant and frequency-dependent dielectic permittivity and magnetic permeability of the plates are considered. Special attention is paid to the account of dc conductivity. It is shown that in the case of finite static dielectric permittivity and magnetic permeability the Nernst heat theorem for the Casimir entropy is satisfied. If the dc conductivity is taken into account, the Casimir entropy goes to a positive nonzero limit depending on the parameters of a system when the temperature vanishes, i.e., the Nernst theorem is violated. The experimental situation is also discussed.

description: We present UES@WHT high-resolution spectra of the low-mass X-ray binary (LMXB) Cygnus X-2. We have derived the stellar parameters of the secondary star using $χ^{2}$ minimisation procedure, and taking into account any possible veiling from the accretion disk. We determine a metallicity higher than solar ([Fe/H]$=0.27\pm0.19$), as seen also in the neutron star X-ray binary Centaurus X-4. The high-quality of the secondary's spectrum allow us to determine the chemical abundances of O, Mg, Si, Ca, S, Ti, Fe and Ni. We found that some $α$-elements (Mg, Si, S, Ti) are enhanced, consistent with a scenario of contamination of the secondary star during the supernova event. Surprisingly oxygen appears to be under-abundant, whereas enhanced abundances of Fe and Ni are measured. Assuming that these abundances come from matter that has been processed in the SN and then captured by the secondary star, we explore different SN explosion scenarios with diverse geometries. A non-spherically symmetric SN explosion, with a low mass cut, seems to reproduce better the observed abundance pattern of the secondary star compared to the spherical case.

description: Major science goals of the upcoming Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) in China are the search for the proton decay and the detection of the diffuse supernova neutrino background. Both phenomena will show characteristic signals in the detector. Therefore, we evaluate the pulse shape discrimination performance of the future JUNO liquid scintillator (LS) using excitation by gamma radiation inducing recoil electrons as well as a pulsed neutron beam inducing recoil protons. We developed an experimental setup to characterize the time distribution of the light emission in the fluorescence process of the LS. Results for the fluorescence decay-time profiles of the future JUNO LS, obtained during two beam times at the 14 MV Tandem Van de Graaff Accelerator of the Maier-Leibnitz-Laboratorium (MLL), are presented. This work is supported by the DFG Research Unit JUNO, the Maier-Leibnitz-Laboratorium and the Cluster of Excellence ORIGINS.

description: The spin diffusion length for thermally excited magnon spins is measured by utilizing a non-local spin-Seebeck effect measurement. In a bulk single crystal of yttrium iron garnet (YIG) a focused laser thermally excites magnon spins. The spins diffuse laterally and are sampled using a Pt inverse spin Hall effect detector. Thermal transport modeling and temperature dependent measurements demonstrate the absence of spurious temperature gradients beneath the Pt detector and confirm the non-local nature of the experimental geometry. Remarkably, we find that thermally excited magnon spins in YIG travel over 120 $μ$m at 23 K, indicating that they are robust against inelastic scattering. The spin diffusion length is found to be at least 47 $μ$m and as high as 73 $μ$m at 23 K in YIG, while at room temperature it drops to less than 10 $μ$m. Based on this long spin diffusion length, we envision the development of thermally powered spintronic devices based on electrically insulating, but spin conducting materials.

description: During meiosis homologous chromosomes should be separated in a balanced way to ensure that each gamete will receive a complete chromosomal set. Desynapsis is a failure to maintain chromosome pairing until metaphase I because of a limited number of crossing-over, which leads to unbalanced chromosome segregation and the formation of sterile gametes. However, when desynapsis is combined with another meiotic mutation that restitutes the first meriotic division, then highly heterozygous fertile 2n gametes are produced. Such a modified meiosis, which approximates mitosis in its ability to maintain parental heterozygosity, is of great interest to breeders. Desynapsis inheritance was described as recessive, and the trait was tentatively mapped to chromosome 8 in a historical diploid S. tuberosum bi-parent population. We generated from the same cross, a large population segregating for desynapsis and 2n pollen production and, genotyped it using a skim-sequencing approach. During two growing seasons, desynapsis was assessed by combining microscopic observations on stainability and diameter of pollen grains indicative of their viability and ploidy. The trait was then mapped to a region of chromosome 8 colocalizing with the ortholog of AtMSH4, involved in the type I crossing over pathway. A seven base-pair insertion in the second exon of StMSH4 was identified in the allele associated with desynapsis in this population. An identical allele, apart from a 3,819 bp insertion in place of the seven bp one, was identified in clone RH89-039-16. Complementation test performed between StMSH4 alleles with the long and the short insertion resulted in desynapsis indicting that both alleles are non-functional.

description: Pulsed field emission from cold carbon-nanotube cathodes placed in a radiofrequency resonant cavity was observed. The cathodes were located on the backplate of a conventional $1+\frac{1}{2}$-cell resonant cavity operating at 1.3-GHz and resulted in the production of bunch train with maximum average current close to 0.7 Ampère. The measured Fowler-Nordheim characteristic, transverse emittance, and pulse duration are presented and, when possible, compared to numerical simulations. The implications of our results to high-average-current electron sources are briefly discussed.
