description: Observability is important to ensure the reliability of microservice applications. These applications are often prone to failures, since they have many independent services deployed on heterogeneous environments. When employed "correctly", observability can help developers identify and troubleshoot faults quickly. However, instrumenting and configuring the observability of a microservice application is not trivial but tool-dependent and tied to costs. Practitioners need to understand observability-related trade-offs in order to weigh between different observability design alternatives. Still, these architectural design decisions are not supported by systematic methods and typically just rely on "professional intuition".
 To assess observability design trade-offs with concrete evidence, we advocate for conducting experiments that compare various design alternatives. Achieving a systematic and repeatable experiment process necessitates automation. We present a proof-of-concept implementation of an experiment tool - Observability eXperiment eNgine (OXN). OXN is able to inject arbitrary faults into an application, similar to Chaos Engineering, but also possesses the unique capability to modify the observability configuration, allowing for the straightforward assessment of design decisions that were previously left unexplored.

description: La complexité des sollicitations climatiques rend difficile la prédiction du comportement mécanique des parois en terre crue. Le premier argument en faveur de ce type de paroi est sa capacité à compenser les fluctuations d’humidité dans l’air et à améliorer ainsi le climat intérieur. Cependant, la durabilité de ce type de matériaux et leur sensibilité à l’humidité freine grandement leurs utilisations dans des structures dimensionnées pour des durées de vie importante. Dans ces travaux d’étude, il a développé un modèle couplé thermo-hygro-mécanique sous CAST3M permettant d’évaluer d’une part, la capacité de ce type de paroi à réguler l’ambiance intérieure, et estimer les gains sur le confort, et d’autre part, d’évaluer le risque d’apparition de désordres sous l’effet des sollicitations qui lui seront appliquée au quotidien. Dans ce sens, une étude comparative sur différentes configurations de cloisons (terre crue, légères en plâtre) sous des sollicitations climatiques annuelles proches de celle d’une maison individuelle de type T4 est réalisée. Les résultats obtenus montrent la capacité de stockage et de restitution d’humidité des systèmes constructifs en terre, avec un caractère plus au moins sensible aux variations climatiques. Il a été constaté que durant les journées présentant les plus basses humidités relatives (décembre), le champ hydrique génère des contraintes qui dépassent le critère de rupture.

description: Noether’s calculus of invariant variations yields exact identities from functional symmetries. The standard application to an action integral allows to identify conservation laws. Here we rather consider generating functionals, such as the free energy and the power functional, for equilibrium and driven many-body systems. Translational and rotational symmetry operations yield mechanical laws. These global identities express vanishing of total internal and total external forces and torques. We show that functional differentiation then leads to hierarchies of local sum rules that interrelate density correlators as well as static and time direct correlation functions, including memory. For anisotropic particles, orbital and spin motion become systematically coupled. The theory allows us to shed new light on the spatio-temporal coupling of correlations in complex systems. As applications we consider active Brownian particles, where the theory clarifies the role of interfacial forces in motility-induced phase separation. For active sedimentation, the center-of-mass motion is constrained by an internal Noether sum rule.

Subjects: subject: prisoner, knowledge, head injury, psychoeducation, intervention.

description: Introduction: Developing educational based interventions for head injury (HI) awareness within prison is a key area to support the growth of brain injury services for people at risk of HI. Prevalence rates of HI in the prison population are higher than the general population and associated with offending behaviour. 

Aims: To explore what prisoners know about symptoms and long-term effects of HI and develop a low-cost single-session psychoeducational group about HI which can be delivered to large numbers in prisons. 

Methods: A pre-post design recruiting male prisoners aged 18 and over serving a custodial sentence. The study had three stages; screening appointment (T1; N = 34), one-hour psychoeducation group about the symptoms and long-term effects of HI (T2; N = 19) and one-month follow-up appointment (T3; N = 11). HI knowledge was assessed by two open-ended measures (vignettes) and one close ended measure (HI symptom check list) at T1, T2 and T3. Two scores were calculated for participant knowledge as measured by their responses to vignettes; score 1 was number of symptoms or effects of HI which corresponded with the forced choice responses from the symptom checklist and score 2 was the number of symptoms or effects of HI which corresponded with the HI symptom checklist or symptoms or consequences of HI listed in SIGN 110 and 130. Rating scales were used to assess aggression and impulsivity at T1 and T3. Within-subject comparisons were made across study stages to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention. 

Results: Participant HI knowledge significantly increased from T1 to T2 (Score 1; d = 0.91, 95% CI [0.36, 1.46], and Score 2; d = 0.99, 95% CI [0.38, 1.60]) and was sustained at T3 (Score 1; d = 1.27, 95% CI [0.44, 2.11], and Score 2; r = 0.60). There were no improvements in ratings of aggression and impulsivity (T1 to T3). A between-group comparison of severity of HI and HI knowledge indicated knowledge was moderately greater for those with mild than moderate-severe HI. 

Conclusions: The psychoeducational group increased prisoners’ knowledge of HI and is an initial step towards the development an intervention suitable for delivery in Scottish prisons by NHS staff.

description: Extracting the speech of participants in a conversation amidst interfering speakers and noise presents a challenging problem. In this paper, we introduce the novel task of target conversation extraction, where the goal is to extract the audio of a target conversation based on the speaker embedding of one of its participants. To accomplish this, we propose leveraging temporal patterns inherent in human conversations, particularly turn-taking dynamics, which uniquely characterize speakers engaged in conversation and distinguish them from interfering speakers and noise. Using neural networks, we show the feasibility of our approach on English and Mandarin conversation datasets. In the presence of interfering speakers, our results show an 8.19 dB improvement in signal-to-noise ratio for 2-speaker conversations and a 7.92 dB improvement for 2-4-speaker conversations.

description: Les fluctuations saisonnières de la température et de la pluviométrie modifient la teneur en eau et les caractéristiques géo-mécaniques du sol. Dans le cas des conduites enterrées, où l’interaction sol-structure joue un rôle déterminant dans la répartition des efforts et des déplacements de ces conduites, ces modifications ont pour conséquence l’apparition de tassements différentiels et l’apparition de dégradations et de dysfonctionnements. Dans cette communication, on s’intéresse à l’effet de la variation de la teneur en eau du sol sur la réponse des conduites enterrées, tenant compte de la variabilité spatiale du sol. A cette fin, une analyse probabiliste menée sur un modèle simple, qui décrit l’interaction solconduite et qui prend en compte la variabilité spatiale et les variations de la teneur en eau du sol, a été réalisée.

description: This deliverable describes the key events organized in the first year of the ADMAIORA project, as devised in the preliminary dissemination, communication and exploitation plan. In particular, the first project-related scientific workshop has been organized during the IEEE/EMBS Engineering in Medicine and Biology Conference (EMBC) in Berlin by the Project Coordinator, Prof. Leonardo Ricotti. During this event, the project strategy and preliminary results were disseminated to a broad audience of potential users, stakeholders, and scientists.
A second non-technical workshop has also been organized by the Project Coordinator in collaboration with Dr. Gina Lisignoli from IOR and with the involvement of AMRER, an Italian association of rheumatic patients. Such a second event aimed at describing the project approach and preliminary results to patients affected by osteoarthritis and, in general, to elderly people affected by rheumatic problems, thus to make them aware of the technologies under development in ADMAIORA and to get a useful feedback from them. End-users concrete needs and their opinion of the different project aspects were collected and will be taken into serious consideration by the Consortium, to properly shape technical efforts towards impactful and user needs-compliant results.
The deliverable describes the objectives and the details of both events, including an analysis of the patients’ feedbacks.

LightSync : ultra light client for PoW blockchains
Creators: name: Moshrefi, Niusha
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: Full nodes in a blockchain network store and verify a copy of the whole blockchain. Unlike full nodes, light clients are low-capacity devices that want to validate cer- tain data on a blockchain. They query the data they want from a full node. If light clients do not verify the data they receive, full nodes might deceive them. SPV, introduced in the Bitcoin white paper, is a practical solution to this problem cur- rently used in many PoW blockchains. In SPV, the resources needed to verify a full node’s response grow linearly with the blockchain size, making it inefficient over the long run. Another issue with SPV is that the full nodes do not get compensated for the services they provide. In this work, we introduce LIGHTSYNC, a simple and cost-effective solution for light clients to verify the inclusion of certain data in a PoW blockchain. LIGHT- SYNC enjoys a number of salient features. First, the resources needed for running LIGHTSYNC remain constant no matter what the size of the blockchain is. Sec- ond, LIGHTSYNC is provably secure under the variable difficulty settings. Third, LIGHTSYNC can be implemented without the need for any excess built-in struc- ture.

Our basic results include a projection formula for tropical multiplicities and a generalization of the Sturmfels-Tevelev multiplicity formula in tropical elimination theory to the case of a nontrivial valuation. For curves, we explore in detail the relationship between skeletal metrics and lattice lengths on tropicalizations and show that the maps from the analytification of a curve to the tropicalizations of its toric embeddings stabilize to an isometry on finite subgraphs. Other applications include generalizations of Speyer's well-spacedness condition and the Katz-Markwig-Markwig results on tropical j-invariants.

description: Abstract: The extensive peat bogs of Southern Scandinavia have yielded rich Mesolithic archaeological assemblages, with one of the most iconic artefacts being the bone point. Although great in number they remain understudied. Here we present a combined investigation of the typology, protein-based species composition, and absolute chronology of Maglemosian bone points. The majority of the bone points are made from cervids and bovines. However, changes both in species composition and barb morphology can be directly linked to a paucity of finds lasting nearly 600 years in Southern Scandinavia around 10,300 cal BP. We hypothesize that this hiatus was climate-driven and forced hunter-gatherers to abandon the lakes. Furthermore, the marked change in bone points coincides with a change in lithic technology. We, therefore, propose that the Maglemose culture in Southern Scandinavia is fundamentally divided into an Early Complex and a Late Complex.

An Efficient Interpolation Technique for Jump Proposals in Reversible-Jump Markov Chain Monte Carlo Calculations

description: Selection among alternative theoretical models given an observed data set is an important challenge in many areas of physics and astronomy. Reversible-jump Markov chain Monte Carlo (RJMCMC) is an extremely powerful technique for performing Bayesian model selection, but it suffers from a fundamental difficulty: it requires jumps between model parameter spaces, but cannot efficiently explore both parameter spaces at once. Thus, a naive jump between parameter spaces is unlikely to be accepted in the MCMC algorithm and convergence is correspondingly slow. Here we demonstrate an interpolation technique that uses samples from single-model MCMCs to propose inter-model jumps from an approximation to the single-model posterior of the target parameter space. The interpolation technique, based on a kD-tree data structure, is adaptive and efficient in modest dimensionality. We show that our technique leads to improved convergence over naive jumps in an RJMCMC, and compare it to other proposals in the literature to improve the convergence of RJMCMCs. We also demonstrate the use of the same interpolation technique as a way to construct efficient "global" proposal distributions for single-model MCMCs without prior knowledge of the structure of the posterior distribution, and discuss improvements that permit the method to be used in higher-dimensional spaces efficiently.

description: We consider the estimation of a regression function with random design and heteroscedastic noise in a nonparametric setting. More precisely, we address the problem of characterizing the optimal penalty when the regression function is estimated by using a penalized least-squares model selection method. In this context, we show the existence of a minimal penalty, defined to be the maximum level of penalization under which the model selection procedure totally misbehaves. The optimal penalty is shown to be twice the minimal one and to satisfy a non-asymptotic pathwise oracle inequality with leading constant almost one. Finally, the ideal penalty being unknown in general, we propose a hold-out penalization procedure and show that the latter is asymptotically optimal.

description: We apply an approach from cognitive linguistics by mapping Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT) to the visualization domain to address patterns of visual conceptual metaphors that are often used in science infographics. Metaphors play an essential part in visual communication and are frequently employed to explain complex concepts. However, their use is often based on intuition, rather than following a formal process. At present, we lack tools and language for understanding and describing metaphor use in visualization to the extent where taxonomy and grammar could guide the creation of visual components, e.g., infographics. Our classification of the visual conceptual mappings within scientific representations is based on the breakdown of visual components in existing scientific infographics. We demonstrate the development of this mapping through a detailed analysis of data collected from four domains (biomedicine, climate, space, and anthropology) that represent a diverse range of visual conceptual metaphors used in the visual communication of science. This work allows us to identify patterns of visual conceptual metaphor use within the domains, resolve ambiguities about why specific conceptual metaphors are used, and develop a better overall understanding of visual metaphor use in scientific infographics. Our analysis shows that ontological and orientational conceptual metaphors are the most widely applied to translate complex scientific concepts. To support our findings we developed a visual exploratory tool based on the collected database that places the individual infographics on a spatio-temporal scale and illustrates the breakdown of visual conceptual metaphors.

description: Abstract: The Human Silencing Hub (HUSH) complex is necessary for epigenetic repression of LINE-1 elements. We show that HUSH-depletion in human cell lines and primary fibroblasts leads to induction of interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs) through JAK/STAT signaling. This effect is mainly attributed to MDA5 and RIG-I sensing of double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs). This coincides with upregulation of primate-conserved LINE-1s, as well as increased expression of full-length hominid-specific LINE-1s that produce bidirectional RNAs, which may form dsRNA. Notably, LTRs nearby ISGs are derepressed likely rendering these genes more responsive to interferon. LINE-1 shRNAs can abrogate the HUSH-dependent response, while overexpression of an engineered LINE-1 construct activates interferon signaling. Finally, we show that the HUSH component, MPP8 is frequently downregulated in diverse cancers and that its depletion leads to DNA damage. These results suggest that LINE-1s may drive physiological or autoinflammatory responses through dsRNA sensing and gene-regulatory roles and are controlled by the HUSH complex.

description: Constraint Programming (CP) and Machine Learning (ML) face challenges in text generation due to CP's struggle with implementing "meaning'' and ML's difficulty with structural constraints. This paper proposes a solution by combining both approaches and embedding a Large Language Model (LLM) in CP. The LLM handles word generation and meaning, while CP manages structural constraints. This approach builds on GenCP, an improved version of On-the-fly Constraint Programming Search (OTFS) using LLM-generated domains. Compared to Beam Search (BS), a standard NLP method, this combined approach (GenCP with LLM) is faster and produces better results, ensuring all constraints are satisfied. This fusion of CP and ML presents new possibilities for enhancing text generation under constraints.

IT investment: Rationalizing ERP adoption

Organisational planning and management

description: This thesis explores how organisations justify adopting Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems. The data used for the study are electronically mediated justifications for ERP adoption presented by universities. An interpretive study of these using grounded theory is made, from which a model of ERP adoption is constructed. This model is then examined to explore the underlying values that support the rationales contained in the model. The perspectives on communication, rationality, legitimacy and domination provided by Max Weber and Jurgen Habermas are employed in this analysis. The conclusions reached are that in the context of ERP adoption, people occupy a subservient role to technology, process and organisation; that technology is intrinsically valued and that fundamental organisational values can be subverted.

description: Abstract: The adoptive transfer of regulatory T-cells (Tregs) is a promising therapeutic approach in transplantation and autoimmunity. However, because large cell numbers are needed to achieve a therapeutic effect, in vitro expansion is required. By comparing their function, phenotype and transcriptomic profile against ex vivo Tregs, we demonstrate that expanded human Tregs switch their metabolism to aerobic glycolysis and show enhanced suppressive function through hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha (HIF1A) driven acquisition of CD73 expression. In conjunction with CD39, CD73 expression enables expanded Tregs to convert ATP to immunosuppressive adenosine. We conclude that for maximum therapeutic benefit, Treg expansion protocols should be optimised for CD39/CD73 co-expression.
Explicit Bound State Description of Particles, Application to p-e- and e+-e- Systems

description: Based on a QED Lagrangian with additional photon-photon coupling an explicit bound state description is presented, attempting a physical correct and parameter free description of free particles. Applied to p-e- and e+-e- systems, with a "harmonic" boundary condition the deduced binding energies are consistent with Coulomb energies and radii in general agreement with other models. The sum of partial coupling strengths is in good agreement with alpha_QED sim 1/137, showing that this important constant can be deduced from first principles.

Modeling the influence of water content in Callovo-Oxfordian argillite compression test

description: A unified elastic–plastic model is presented for argillites in this paper. Emphasis is put on the description of hydromechanical behavior of argillite under saturated and unsaturated condition in compression test. Base on the experimental investigation, the material’s behavior is characterized by important plastic deformation coupled with damage on the short-term scale. Furthermore, the water content has an important impact on mechanical behavior of argillite at different saturation degree. Using the unified approach proposed by Matallah and Christian La Borderie (2016), a general constitutive model is proposed for the poromechanical behavior of argillites in both saturated and unsaturated conditions. Main features observed in experiments are taken into account, particularly the elastic degradation due to microcracks, coupling between plastic deformation and induced damage and influence of water content on plastic flow on different time scales. The performance of the model is examined by simulation of plasticity tests with different hydraulic states. Finally, the model is applied to study the hydromechanical coupling in a resaturation–desaturation test.

Biochar-assisted thermophilic anaerobic digestion for enhanced municipal sludge treatment
Creators: name: Khoei, Shiva
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Anaerobic digestion (AD) has become a common bioconversion approach for recovering resources and energy from biomass in wastewater treatment plants. Thermophilic anaerobic digestion (TAD) offers a wide range of possible applications due to its high ability for energy production, fast hydrolysis rate, and high potential for pathogen elimination. The accumulation of volatile fatty acids (VFAs), which occurs due to the accelerated fermentation rates in TAD, contributes to digester failure by reducing methanogenic activity as a result of a pH reduction. A recently identified method of electron transfer, known as direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET), involves bacteria directly transferring electrons to methanogens. The addition of conductive materials can improve methanogenesis activity and encourage DIET between bacteria and methanogens. In addition, the adsorption capacity of these materials increases stability of ADs by adsorbing inhibitory compounds, such as VFAs and ammonia. In this study, the effects of powdered (<0.075 mm) biochar on TAD was investigated using biochemical methane potential (BMP) assays. The assays had substrate-to-inoculum ratios (SIR) of 2.2 and 4.4 g-volatile solids (VS)/g-VS and biochar dosing of 6 g/g-total solids (TS) inoculum. Initially, BMP assays (Scenarios 1,2 and 3) were performed to evaluate the role of biochar in increasing methane production and shortening the lag period using various substrates and inocula. Adding biochar enhanced the methane production rate compared to controls at SIR 4.4 g-VS/g-VS by 94% and 75% in assays utilizing acidified mixed sludge (MS) substrates at 70ºC, and 55ºC, respectively. All controls at higher organic loading rates experienced acute inhibition with lag phases from 12-52 days, while assays with biochar generated methane from day 4. In scenario 4, BMP assays using acidified substrate acclimated at 55ºC were conducted to reveal the potential of biochar in improving AD stability. Results indicated that biochar-supplemented digesters reduced the accumulation of VFAs, which the adsorption potential of biochar could cause. In addition, up to 14 mg of ammonia as a determinative inhibitory factor was removed by one gram of biochar. Biochar presents great potential to tackle VFA accumulation, abbreviate lag phase and increase methane rate, particularly at high organic loadings.

description: Abstract: Molecular chaperones contribute to the maintenance of cellular protein homoeostasis through assisting de novo protein folding and preventing amyloid formation. Chaperones of the Hsp70 family can further disaggregate otherwise irreversible aggregate species such as α-synuclein fibrils, which accumulate in Parkinson’s disease. However, the mechanisms and kinetics of this key functionality are only partially understood. Here, we combine microfluidic measurements with chemical kinetics to study α-synuclein disaggregation. We show that Hsc70 together with its co-chaperones DnaJB1 and Apg2 can completely reverse α-synuclein aggregation back to its soluble monomeric state. This reaction proceeds through first-order kinetics where monomer units are removed directly from the fibril ends with little contribution from intermediate fibril fragmentation steps. These findings extend our mechanistic understanding of the role of chaperones in the suppression of amyloid proliferation and in aggregate clearance, and inform on possibilities and limitations of this strategy in the development of therapeutics against synucleinopathies.
