description: A mathematical model was used to evaluate the effect of the aeration pattern and ammonium concentration in a partial nitritation-anammox sequencing batch reactor with granular and flocculent sludge. In the tested conditions, model results indicate that most of the aerobic ammonium oxidation potential would occur in the bulk liquid, with 70% of the ammonium-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) biomass in suspension rather than in granules. The simulated granular sludge consisted predominantly of anammox bacteria with AOB present in the outer layer of the granule (50 μm AOB layer, accounting for 3% of the granule weight). Simulation results indicated that when granules do not contain any AOB, the amount of granular biomass required to achieve the same level of nitrogen removal would strongly increase (in the simulated conditions, by a factor of three) due to anammox inhibition by oxygen. This underlines the importance of a small fraction of AOB present in the granular anammox sludge. The aeration pattern had an important impact on the nitrogen removal: a better performance was suggested for continuous aeration (90% N-removal) than for intermittent aeration (68–84% N-removal). Anammox inhibition during the periods of high oxygen concentration was identified as the main reason for the lower nitrogen removal in the intermittently aerated system. With increasing oxygen concentration, a higher residual (effluent) ammonium concentration was needed to assure nitrite-oxidizing bacteria repression in the system. This study contributes to further understand the complexity of a reactor with both granular and flocculent sludge and the impact of operation conditions on reactor performance.

Effect of acceleration on optimization of Adidas Bounce shoes
Creators: name: Dickson, Mathew James
name: Fuss, Franz
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Directional energy transfer is a term used to describe the phenomenon where energy is returned as force acting in a direction other than the direction in which energy was put into the system. Directional energy transfer in running shoes increases athletic performance as running speed by transferring energy to the direction of locomotion. The concept can be applied to the Adidas Bounce™ style shoe. The shoe uses tubes with a Θ-shaped cross section incorporated into the shoe sole. Directional energy transfer can be optimized if the Bounce tubes of Adidas shoes are rotated and the overall stiffness changed (by altering the tube length). There are a number of parameters that relate to directional energy transfer. These parameters are: energy transferred (as a percentage of vertical input energy); energy transferred (absolute quantity); energy returned in the horizontal direction and total system energy. The aim of this paper was to investigate whether the optimum solution changed if the runner accelerated during a stride. The simulations showed that there is very little change in optimum design angle and that if additional rearward deflection of the bounce tube is permissible performance (energy transferred and returned) actually improves when the runner accelerates.
A robust algorithm for optimisation and customisation of fractal dimensions of time series modified by nonlinearly scaling their time derivatives: mathematical theory and practical applications
Creators: name: Fuss, Franz
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Standard methods for computing the fractal dimensions of time series are usually tested with continuous nowhere differentiable functions, but not benchmarked with actual signals. Therefore they can produce opposite results in extreme signals. These methods also use different scaling methods, that is, different amplitude multipliers, which makes it difficult to compare fractal dimensions obtained from different methods. The purpose of this research was to develop an optimisation method that computes the fractal dimension of a normalised (dimensionless) and modified time series signal with a robust algorithm and a running average method, and that maximises the difference between two fractal dimensions, for example, a minimum and a maximum one. The signal is modified by transforming its amplitude by a multiplier, which has a non-linear effect on the signal's time derivative. The optimisation method identifies the optimal multiplier of the normalised amplitude for targeted decision making based on fractal dimensions. The optimisation method provides an additional filter effect and makes the fractal dimensions less noisy. The method is exemplified by, and explained with, different signals, such as human movement, EEG, and acoustic signals.

description: We measure electron transport through point contacts in an electron gas in AlGaAs/GaAs heterostructures and graphene for a range of temperatures, magnetic fields and electron densities. We find a magnetoconductance peak around B = 0. With increasing temperature, the width of the peak increases monotonically, while its amplitude first increases and then decreases. For GaAs point contacts the peak is particularly sharp at relatively low temperatures $T\approx$1.5 K: the curve rounds on a scale of few tens of $μ$T hinting at length scales of several millimeters for the corresponding scattering processes. We propose a model based on the transition between different transport regimes with increasing temperature: from ballistic transport to few electron-electron scatterings to hydrodynamic superballistic flow to hydrodynamic Poiseuille-like flow. The model is in qualitative and, in many cases, quantitative agreement with the experimental observations.

description: ABSTRACTBiofiltration of volatile organic compounds is still considered an emerging technology. Its reliability remains questionable as no data is available regarding process intrinsic repeatability. Herein, two identically operated toluene biofiltration systems are comprehensively compared, during long-term operation (129 days). Globally, reactors responded very similarly, even during transient conditions, with, for example, strong biological activities from the first days of operation, and comparable periods of lower removal efficiency (81.2%) after exposure to high inlet loads (140 g.m-3.h-1). Regarding steady states, very similar maximum elimination capacities up to 99 g.m-3.h-1 were attained. Estimation of the process repeatability, with the paired samples Student´s t-test, indicated no statistically significant difference between elimination capacities. Repeatability was also established for several descriptors of the process such as the carbon dioxide and biomass production, the pH and organic content of the leachates, and the moisture content of the packing material. While some parameters, such as the pH, presented a remarkably low divergence between biofilters (coefficient of variability of 1.4%), others, such as the organic content of the leachates, presented higher variability (30.6%) due to an uneven biomass lixiviation associated with stochastic hydrodynamics and biomass repartitions. Regarding process efficiency, it was established that less than 10% of fluctuation is to be expected between the elimination capacities of identical biofilter set-ups. A further statistical comparison between the first halves of the biofilter columns indicated very similar coefficients of variability, confirming the repeatability of the process, for different biofilter lengths.

description: Magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene (MATBG) can host an intriguing variety of gate-tunable correlated states, including superconducting and correlated insulator states. Junction-based superconducting devices, such as Josephson junctions and SQUIDs, have been introduced recently and enable the exploration of the charge, spin, and orbital nature of superconductivity and the coherence of moiré electrons in MATBG. However, complementary fundamental coherence effects - in particular, the Little-Parks effect in a superconducting and the Aharonov-Bohm effect in a normal conducting ring - remained to be observed. Here, we report the observation of both these phenomena in a single gate-defined ring device where we can embed a superconducting or normal conducting ring in a correlated or band insulator. We directly observe the Little-Parks effect in the superconducting phase diagram as a function of density and magnetic field, confirming the effective charge of $2e$. By measuring the Aharonov-Bohm effect, we find that in our device, the coherence length of normal conducting moiré electrons exceeds a few microns at 50 mK. Surprisingly, we also identify a regime characterized by $h/e$-periodic oscillations but with superconductor-like nonlinear transport. Taken together, these experiments establish a novel device platform in MATBG, and more generally in tunable 2D materials, to unravel the nature of superconductivity and other correlated quantum states in these materials.

description: Cycling stress assessment, which quantifies cyclists' perceived stress imposed by the built environment and motor traffics, increasingly informs cycling infrastructure planning and cycling route recommendation. However, currently calculating cycling stress is slow and data-intensive, which hinders its broader application. In this paper, We propose a deep learning framework to support accurate, fast, and large-scale cycling stress assessments for urban road networks based on street-view images. Our framework features i) a contrastive learning approach that leverages the ordinal relationship among cycling stress labels, and ii) a post-processing technique that enforces spatial smoothness into our predictions. On a dataset of 39,153 road segments collected in Toronto, Canada, our results demonstrate the effectiveness of our deep learning framework and the value of using image data for cycling stress assessment in the absence of high-quality road geometry and motor traffic data.

description: We study the disorder-induced crossover between the two recently discovered thermalization slowing-down universality classes -- characterized by long- and short-range coupling -- in classical unitary circuits maps close to integrability. We compute Lyapunov spectra, which display qualitatively distinct features depending on whether the proximity to the integrable limit is short or long ranged. For sufficiently small nonlinearity, translationally invariant systems fall into the long-range class. Adding disorder to such a system triggers a transition to the short-range class -- implying a breaking of this invariance -- and in the very limit of vanishing non-linearity Anderson localization emerges. The crossover from long- to short-range class is attained by tuning the localization length, $ξ$, from $ξ\approx N$ to $ξ\ll N$, where $N$ is the system size. As a consequence, the Lyapunov spectrum becomes exponentially suppressed, depending on how strongly its translational invariance is destroyed. We expect that this disorder-induced crossover will lead to prethermalized phases and, following quantization, to many-body localization.

description: The soft-shell clam Mya arenaria is one of the most ancient invaders of European coasts and is present in many coastal ecosystems, yet little is known about its genetic structure in Europe. We collected 266 samples spanning a latitudinal cline from the Mediterranean to the North Sea and genotyped them at 12 microsatellite loci. In parallel, geometric morphometric analysis of shell outlines was used to test for associations between shell shape, latitude and genotype, and for a selection of shells we measured the thickness and organic content of the granular prismatic (PR), the crossed-lamellar (CL) and the complex crossed-lamellar (CCL) layers. Strong population structure was detected, with Bayesian cluster analysis identifying four groups located in the Mediterranean, Celtic Sea, along the continental coast of the North Sea and in Scotland. Multivariate analysis of shell shape uncovered a significant effect of collection site but no associations with any other variables. Shell thickness did not vary significantly with either latitude or genotype, although PR thickness and calcification were positively associated with latitude, while CCL thickness showed a negative association. Our study provides new insights into the population structure of this species and sheds light on factors influencing shell shape, thickness and microstructure.

description: Graphene quantum dots are promising candidates for qubits due to weak spin-orbit and hyperfine interactions. The hyperfine interaction, controllable via isotopic purification, could be the key to further improving the coherence. Here, we use isotopically enriched graphite crystals of both $^{12}$C and $^{13}$C grown by high-pressure-high-temperature method to exfoliate graphene layers. We fabricated Hall bar devices and performed quantum transport measurements, revealing mobilities exceeding $10^{5}$$\textrm{cm}^{2}/Vs$ and a long mean free path of microns, which are as high as natural graphene. Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations, quantum Hall effect up to the filling factor of one, and Brown-Zak oscillations due to the alignment of hBN and graphene are observed thanks to the high mobility. These results constitute a material platform for physics and engineering of isotopically-enriched graphene qubits.

Koidz, Agrimonia procera Wallr., Agrimonia eupatoria L. and Agrimonia leucantha Kunze were investigated on their antioxidant activity, measured using five different methods; the best was the extract from A. procera with IC50 values from 6 to 29 μg/mL. All the extracts displayed inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) at the tested concentration of 100 μg/mL. We found the highest inhibition of cholinesterase in the extract of A. japonica with inhibition 70.4% for AChE and 79.8% for BuChE. These findings are statistically significant in comparison with those of other extracts (p Agrimonia extracts can be affected especially by hexahydroxydiphenoyl (HHDP)-glucose and quercetin glycosides, and inhibition of cholinesterases by apigenin, luteolin and quercetin glycosides.

description: RATIONALE:Pulmonary non-tuberculous mycobacterial (PNTM) disease has increased over the past several decades, especially in older women. Abnormal mucociliary clearance and abnormal nasal nitric oxide (nNO) have been associated with PNTM disease in other patient cohorts. Mucociliary clearance can be affected by NO-cyclic guanosine monophosphate signalling and, therefore, modulation of the pathway may be possible with phosphodiesterase inhibitors such as sildenafil as a novel therapeutic approach. OBJECTIVE:To define ex vivo characteristics of PNTM disease affected by sildenafil. METHODS:Subjects with PNTM infections were recruited into an open-label dose-escalation trial of sildenafil. Laboratory measurements and mucociliary measurements-ciliary beat frequency, nNO and 24-hour sputum production-were collected throughout the study period. Patients received sildenafil daily during the study period, with escalation from 20 to 40 mg three times per day. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS:Increased ciliary beat frequency occurred after a single dose of 40 mg sildenafil and after extended dosing of 40 mg sildenafil. The increase ciliary beat frequency was not seen with 20 mg sildenafil dosing. There were no changes in sputum production, nNO production, Quality of Life-Bronchiectasis-NTM module (QOL-B-NTM) questionnaire or the St George's Respiratory Questionnaire during the study period. CONCLUSION:Sildenafil, 40 mg, increased ciliary beat frequency acutely as well as with extended administration.

Besides several compounds already evidenced in this species and related genera, i.e. micropyrone (1), arzanol (2), helipyrone (3), acetyl-bitalin derivatives (4, 5), gnaphaliol (6), caffeic acid (7), ursolic acid (8), 7-O-β-(d-glucopyranosyl)-5-methoxy-1(3H)-isobenzofuranone (9), gnaphaliol-9-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (11) and gnaphaliol-3-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (12), the presence of a new glycosidic phthalide, 6-O-β-(d-glucopyranosyl)-4-methoxy-1(3H)-benzofuranone (10), was evidenced for the first time, which resulted in a structural isomer of compound (9). The occurrence of this new benzofuranone derivative is an additional evidence of the deep intraspecific variability expressed by this species, which was also stated for the non-volatile components, and may be a distinctive trait of the population growing on La Maddalena Island.

description: INTRODUCTION:Management of newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes (T1D) in children and adolescents is challenging for patients, families and healthcare professionals. The objective of this study is to determine whether continued intensive metabolic control using hybrid closed-loop (CL) insulin delivery following diagnosis of T1D can preserve C-peptide secretion, a marker of residual beta-cell function, compared with standard multiple daily injections (MDI) therapy. METHODS AND ANALYSIS:The study adopts an open-label, multicentre, randomised, parallel design, and aims to randomise 96 participants aged 10-16.9 years, recruited within 21 days of diagnosis with T1D. Following a baseline mixed meal tolerance test (MMTT), participants will be randomised to receive 24 months treatment with conventional MDI therapy or with CL insulin delivery. A further 24-month optional extension phase will be offered to all participants to continue with the allocated treatment. The primary outcome is the between group difference in area under the stimulated C-peptide curve (AUC) of the MMTT at 12 months post diagnosis. Analyses will be conducted on an intention-to-treat basis. Key secondary outcomes are between group differences in time spent in target glucose range (3.9-10 mmol/L), glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) and time spent in hypoglycaemia (<3.9 mmol/L) at 12 months. Secondary efficacy outcomes include between group differences in stimulated C-peptide AUC at 24 months, time spent in target glucose range, glucose variability, hypoglycaemia and hyperglycaemia as recorded by periodically applied masked continuous glucose monitoring devices, total, basal and bolus insulin dose, and change in body weight. Cognitive, emotional and behavioural characteristics of participants and parents will be evaluated, and a cost-utility analysis performed to support adoption of CL as a standard treatment modality following diagnosis of T1D.

description: In this study, we reported the analysis of the medium polarity fraction obtained from an accession of Helichrysum microphyllum subsp. tyrrhenicum from La Maddalena Island. Besides several compounds already evidenced in this species and related genera, i.e. micropyrone (1), arzanol (2), helipyrone (3), acetyl-bitalin derivatives (4, 5), gnaphaliol (6), caffeic acid (7), ursolic acid (8), 7-O-β-(d-glucopyranosyl)-5-methoxy-1(3H)-isobenzofuranone (9), gnaphaliol-9-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (11) and gnaphaliol-3-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (12), the presence of a new glycosidic phthalide, 6-O-β-(d-glucopyranosyl)-4-methoxy-1(3H)-benzofuranone (10), was evidenced for the first time, which resulted in a structural isomer of compound (9). The occurrence of this new benzofuranone derivative is an additional evidence of the deep intraspecific variability expressed by this species, which was also stated for the non-volatile components, and may be a distinctive trait of the population growing on La Maddalena Island.

description: Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Miller.), a herbaceous, perennial and aromatic from Apiaceae family, which is used
for pharmaceutical, food, health and cosmatic are cultivated in different parts of Iran and much of the world. In
this study, the amount of trans-anethole in callus gained from tissue culture of fennel six belonging to different
regions of Iran and Turkey have been compared. Tissue culture is a randomized trial. Factor of evaluating in the
first node (hypocotyl) has been as explants and hormonal composition of 2,4-D+Kinetin and NAA+BAP was used
for callus induction. Callus extracts were extracted by using organic solvent and finally the effective compound
was determined, using GC/MS. The results show that the highest percentage of essential oil compounds in callus
of E,E 2,4-Decadienal of 46.22% and cineole were 1,8 of the 35.17 percent, respectively. Our results indicate that
the derived callus from fennel plants in the MS environment and with herbal hormone has been able to produce
volatile compounds.

Linear implicit approximations of invariant measures of semi-linear SDEs with non-globally Lipschitz coefficients

description: This article investigates the weak approximation towards the invariant measure of semi-linear stochastic differential equations (SDEs) under non-globally Lipschitz coefficients. For this purpose, we propose a linear-theta-projected Euler (LTPE) scheme, which also admits an invariant measure, to handle the potential influence of the linear stiffness. Under certain assumptions, both the SDE and the corresponding LTPE method are shown to converge exponentially to the underlying invariant measures, respectively. Moreover, with time-independent regularity estimates for the corresponding Kolmogorov equation, the weak error between the numerical invariant measure and the original one can be guaranteed with convergence of order one. In terms of computational complexity, the proposed ergodicity preserving scheme with the nonlinearity explicitly treated has a significant advantage over the ergodicity preserving implicit Euler method in the literature. Numerical experiments are provided to verify our theoretical findings.

description: Presentations from the SSHOC Webinar "Quanlify with ease: Combining quantitative and qualitative corpus analysis" (16 April 2020), by Andreas Blaette. There are many reasons why researchers in the humanities and the social sciences want to combine the quantitative, data-driven and algorithmic analysis of text with qualitative inspection, hermeneutic approaches and interpretation. One important reason is to attain intersubjectivity and to warrant the validity of findings. Indeed, there are technological solutions for “quanlification” (validation of quantitative findings through qualitative means). Such approaches, however, are mostly integrated software solutions, local or server-based, that strongly limit possibilities to develop, test and deploy new workflows. During this webinar, Andreas Blätte, professor of Public Policy and Regional Politics at the University of Duisburg-Essen, discussed the idea and the implementation of “quanlify”, a framework currently under development in the PolMine Project, which is implemented in the statistical programming language R. The package pursues a strongly modular design that would enable R users with intermediate skills to flexibly combine elements of workflows that comprise quantitative and qualitative features into comprehensible code, handy GUIs or interactive dashboards that can be used on- and offline. ABOUT THE WEBINAR SPEAKER Andreas Blätte is a professor of Public Policy and Regional Politics at the University of Duisburg-Essen. He is a political scientist by training, but has developed a strong interest in data and analytical tools for using corpora in the social sciences and the humanities. He has published three R packages (polmineR, RcppCWB and cwbtools) that are available via CRAN. His prime substantial research interest is the discursive dimension of migration and integration policy. ABOUT THE WEBINAR HOST Christoph Leonhardt works as a research associate at the Institute of Political Science of the University of Duisburg-Essen. Aside from the creation of language resources, his current research interests include the relationship between political discourse and institutional change, in particular combining perspectives of Political Science and Computational Social Science.
The effect of surface skewness on the super/postcritical coefficient of drag of roughened cylinders
Creators: name: Fuss, Franz
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Surface skewness (Rsk) is a further roughness parameter in addition to maximal (Rz) and average (Ra) roughness. So far, the aerodynamics and flow transition of spherical and cylindrical bodies were tested at different Rz and constant Rsk or variable Rz and variable Rsk. The purpose of this study is to test surfaces of different Rsk and same Rz. Eight surfaces of constant relative roughness of 0.9% and variable Rsk from -5 to+5 including infinite skew (smooth surface) were rapid prototyped and wrapped around a cylinder. The drag force of the cylinder was recorded in a wind tunnel at speeds from 20-140 kph at 10 kph increments. The larger Rsk, the 'rougher' is the surface profile, i.e. the larger is the postcritical coefficient of drag, and the smaller is the critical Reynolds number.
Towards tangle calculus for Khovanov polynomials

description: We provide new evidence that the tangle calculus and "evolution" are applicable to the Khovanov polynomials for families of long braids inside the knot diagram. We show that jumps in evolution, peculiar for superpolynomials, are much less abundant than it was originally expected. Namely, for torus and twist satellites of a fixed companion knot, the main (most complicated) contribution does not jump, all jumps are concentrated in the torus and twist part correspondingly, where these jumps are necessary to make the Khovanov polynomial positive. Among other things, this opens a way to define a jump-free part of the colored Khovanov polynomials, which differs from the naive colored polynomial just "infinitesimally". The separation between jumping and smooth parts involves a combination of Rasmussen index and a new knot invariant, which we call "Thickness".
