description: We investigate the effect of potential barriers in the form of step edges on the scattering properties of Bi$_2$Se$_3$(111) topological surface states by means of large-scale ab-initio transport simulations. Our results demonstrate the suppression of perfect backscattering, while all other scattering processes, which do not entail a complete spin and momentum reversal, are allowed. Furthermore, we find that the spin of the surface state develops an out of plane component as it traverses the barrier. Our calculations reveal the existence of quasi-bound states in the vicinity of the surface barriers, which appear in the form of an enhanced density of states in the energy window corresponding to the topological state. For double barriers we demonstrate the formation of quantum well states. To complement our first-principles results we construct a two-dimensional low-energy effective model and show that band bending plays a significant role in the scattering process. Our findings are discussed in the context of a number of recent experimental works.

description: Human peripheral blood monocytes comprise a subpopulation of 20 to 40% that is capable of responding to chemoattractants and a remaining subpopulation that cannot respond. We were able to obtain 99%-pure attractant-responsive monocytes by using a newly constructed separation chamber. The binding of the radioactive chemotactic peptide N-formylmethionyl-leucyl-[3H]phenylalanine to migrating and nonmigrating populations was then studied. The binding was saturable at room temperature in the presence of azide. Saturation occurred at 5 x 10(-8) M, and 50% of the maximal binding was obtained at 10(-8) M, the concentration that induced optimal chemotaxis. The nonmigrating monocytes did not bind the peptide under the same conditions, which shows that at least one reason for a nonresponsiveness to chemotaxin is apparently a lack of receptors. By Scatchard analysis we calculated an equilibrium dissociation constant ranging from 23 to 37 nM; the number of binding sites per cell ranged from 64,000 to 77,000. The binding was very rapid. Fifty percent of the optimal binding occurred at 3.5 min, and equilibrium was reached after 20 to 30 min. Chemotactic deactivation of the monocytes reduced the number of available binding sites by 60%.

Fast computation of uncertainty quantification measures in the geostatistical approach to solve inverse problems

description: We consider the computational challenges associated with uncertainty quantification involved in parameter estimation such as seismic slowness and hydraulic transmissivity fields. The reconstruction of these parameters can be mathematically described as Inverse Problems which we tackle using the Geostatistical approach. The quantification of uncertainty in the Geostatistical approach involves computing the posterior covariance matrix which is prohibitively expensive to fully compute and store. We consider an efficient representation of the posterior covariance matrix at the maximum a posteriori (MAP) point as the sum of the prior covariance matrix and a low-rank update that contains information from the dominant generalized eigenmodes of the data misfit part of the Hessian and the inverse covariance matrix. The rank of the low-rank update is typically independent of the dimension of the unknown parameter. The cost of our method scales as $\bigO(m\log m)$ where $m $ dimension of unknown parameter vector space. Furthermore, we show how to efficiently compute measures of uncertainty that are based on scalar functions of the posterior covariance matrix. The performance of our algorithms is demonstrated by application to model problems in synthetic travel-time tomography and steady-state hydraulic tomography. We explore the accuracy of the posterior covariance on different experimental parameters and show that the cost of approximating the posterior covariance matrix depends on the problem size and is not sensitive to other experimental parameters.

Coherent and stochastic contributions of compound resonances in atomic processes: Electron recombination, photoionization and scattering

description: In open-shell atoms and ions, processes such as photoionization, combination (Raman) scattering, electron scattering and recombination, are often mediated by many-electron compound resonances. We show that their interference (neglected in the independent-resonance approximation) leads to a coherent contribution, which determines the energy-averaged total cross sections of electron- and photon-induced reactions obtained using the optical theorem. In contrast, the partial cross sections (e.g., electron recombination, or photon Raman scattering) are dominated by the stochastic contributions. Thus, the optical theorem provides a link between the stochastic and coherent contributions of the compound resonances. Similar conclusions are valid for reactions via compound states in molecules and nuclei.

Specificity and reversibility of chemotactic deactivation of human monocytes

description: The chemotactic deactivation of human monocytes was studied to provide insight into the mechanism of chemotaxis. Deactivation was dependent on the dose of chemoattractant and time of incubation. A concentration in the cell suspension of 10(-8) M N-formylmethionylleucyl phenylalanine (FMLP) for 45 min at 37 degrees C led to 60% suppression of the subsequent specific chemotactic response. Higher concentrations of FMLP led to almost 100% specific suppression. Deactivation was specific under all conditions used. The response to a nonrelated chemoattractant, human serum-derived C5a, was unaffected by incubation in FMLP. Deactivation was also transient. If cells were deactivated at 37 degrees C with FMLP, they recovered within 6 h at 37 degrees C from this deactivation. Both phenomena, deactivation and recovery from deactivation, were temperature dependent. Monocytes could not be deactivated at 0 degrees C, and they did not recover from deactivation when kept at 0 degrees C. Thus, specific deactivation appears to require cellular metabolism, involving loss of receptors or blocking of a step between receptor occupancy and response.

description: We propose a new preheating mechanism through the coupling of the gravitational field to both the inflaton and matter fields, without direct inflaton-matter couplings. The inflaton transfers power to the matter fields through interactions with gravitational waves, which are exponentially enhanced due to an inflation-graviton coupling. One such coupling is the product of the inflaton to the Pontryagin density, as in dynamical Chern-Simons gravity. The energy scales involved are constrained by requiring that preheating happens fast during matter domination.

What drives consumers’ sustainable mobility behavior? An empirical investigation

Publisher: name: Visions for Sustainability
Year: 2023

description: The current mobility behavior of the consumers has threatened the life of the people and the eco-system. Thus, it becomes imperative to explore the motives and hurdles blocking the way towards a cleaner, safer and affordable mobility system. The present study therefore, investigates the determinants of consumers’ sustainable mobility behavior using the extended Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). For this, the study incorporates four additional variables (environmental knowledge, government actions, personal norms, and product attributes) into the original TPB model. Using a self-administered questionnaire, data is collected from a sample of 440 Indian consumers, and hypotheses are tested using structural equation modeling (SEM). The result reveals a significant positive impact of the product attributes, perceived behavioral control, attitude, environmental knowledge, and personal norms on the behavioral intentions of consumers to adopt sustainable mobility behavior, while social norms and government actions are not found to affect the consumer’s sustainable mobility intentions. Besides, the study finds that the respondents do not prefer to pool or share their private vehicles much and are also reluctant to use public transport for daily commute to their workplace. They pay greater importance to the quality, trust and user-friendliness of the products while making a consumption decision. The study thus suggests a mix of strategies that can be taken into consideration by the producers, marketers, and policymakers to encourage the consumers‘ sustainable mobility behavior.

We first present an analytic study and give a solid criterion to discriminate between cuspy and non-cuspy string configurations. We then describe a numerical code, built to test this analysis. Our numerical investigation allows us to look at the correlations between string network's parameters and the occurrence of cuspy phenomena. We show that the presence of large amplitude waves on the light string leads to cuspy events. We then relate the occurrence of cuspy events to features like the number of vibration modes on the string or the string's root-mean-square velocity.

description: A neutrophil chemotaxis assay was developd which permits rapid, quantitative assessment of migration across a membrane filter. The critical factor in the assay was the use of a 10 microns thick polycarbonate membrane without the usual polyvinylpyrrolidone coating. Migrated neutrophils remain adherent to the uncoated membrane, whereas 20-50% fall off polyvinylpyrrolidone-coated membranes. A major advantage of the method is that neutrophil chemotaxis can be readily quantified, since the migrated cells adhere to the membrane surface and are in one optical plane for counting. A 25 mm x 80 mm membrane sheet was used in a 48-well micro chemotaxis assembly, which requires only 20,000 neutrophils and 25 microliters of attractant per assay well. Neutrophil chemotaxis was complete within 10-20 min at 37 degrees C, with 20-30% of the cells migrating to N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine and 40-50% migrating to complement derived C5a.

description: Inhibition of 5-lipoxygenase by anthralin (1) and 41 derivatives is determined: the acids 38 and 39, the lactones 40-42 and 9-anthrone (8) are the most potent inhibitors, the lactone 41 reaching the efficacy of nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA). The results were correlated with the hydrophilic/lipophilic balance of the test compounds and their clinical efficacy as far as known. There is no correlation between the "minimum structure" of Krebs and Schaltegger concerning antipsoriatic activity and the inhibitory effects against 5-lipoxygenase. Die Hemmung der 5-Lipoxygenase durch Dithranol (1) und 41 Derivate wird bestimmt: die Säuren 38 und 39, die Laktone 40-42 und 9-Anthron (8) sind die stärksten Inhibitoren, das Lakton 41 erreicht die Wirksamkeit der Nordihydroguajaretsäure. Die Ergebnisse werden mit den hydrophilen/lipophilen Eigenschaften der Verbindungen und - soweit bekannt - mit deren klinischer Wirksamkeit in Beziehung gesetzt: es besteht keine Korrelation zwischen der sog. "antipsoriatischen Minimalstruktur" nach Krebs und Schaltegger und der Hemmwirkung auf die 5-Lipoxygenase.

description: In this paper we introduce a new approach to determinant functors which allows us to extend Deligne's determinant functors for exact categories to Waldhausen categories, (strongly) triangulated categories, and derivators. We construct universal determinant functors in all cases by original methods which are interesting even for the known cases. Moreover, we show that the target of each universal determinant functor computes the corresponding K- theory in dimensions 0 and 1. As applications, we answer open questions by Maltsiniotis and Neeman on the K-theory of (strongly) triangulated categories and a question of Grothendieck to Knudsen on determinant functors. We also prove additivity and localization theorems for low-dimensional K-theory and obtain generators and (some) relations for various K1-groups.

description: Finding the Time-Optimal Parameterization of a given Path (TOPP) subject to kinodynamic constraints is an essential component in many robotic theories and applications. The objective of this article is to provide a general, fast and robust implementation of this component. For this, we give a complete solution to the issue of dynamic singularities, which are the main cause of failure in existing implementations. We then present an open-source implementation of the algorithm in C++/Python and demonstrate its robustness and speed in various robotics settings.

description: Tuwaiq Mountain Escarpment in the Central Saudi Arabia exposes the Late Jurassic carbonates, which are one of the world’s most prolific oil-producing strata in the subsurface. The outcrops provide a window of opportunity to study the architecture of these strata that is found usually complex due to heterogeneous lateral and vertical facies. These heterogeneities are sub-seismic in scale, thus, the information from outcrops bridge the gap between seismic and core data. This virtual field trip focuses on the Late Jurassic Hanifa Formation outcrops at Wadi Birk, central Saudi Arabia with an objective to highlight and display interwell scale heterogeneities associated with depositional architecture. The Hanifa Fm is one of the major hydrocarbon reservoirs in the subsurface of Saudi Arabia and is also in many respects analogous to the even more prolific overlying Arab D reservoirs. The virtual field trip will include a 4x4 km2 3D digital outcrop model (DOM). The VRGS (Virtual Geoscience) platform will be used to run this field trip. The participants will be taken to one of the most spectacular exposures of the Hanifa Formation at Wadi Birk in Central Saudi Arabia. Depositional facies (in outcrop and thin section), 3D Digital Outcrop Models, and geophysical (GPR, Seismic) and petrophysical datasets (Spectral Gamma Ray - SGR) will be discussed. The main learning outcome of this field trip is to show reservoir equivalent facies in the outcrops but also provide clues into the intricacies of the stratal architecture. It will be demonstrated that the layered architecture is actually not so layered (as usually observed and published). Depositional cycles will be defined based on geological, geophysical, and petrophysical datasets (measured sections, core, thin section, and SGR). The mapping of the depositional cycles within the 4x4 km2 area at Wadi Birk will aid in demonstrating that vertically and laterally the depocenters (sediment production) were migrating. These depocenters are a product of high sediment production by the buildups (stromatoporoid/coral), and relatively low sediment production or current winnowing in the inter-buildups areas. Further, the variability in the shape and sizes of the stromatoporoid/coral build-ups laterally adds more complexity to the thickness of a depositional cycle and provides clues to environmental dynamics. Uneven topography is healed during the deposition of the next cycle with the areas of higher accommodation availability becoming natural depocenters. The observations and results will be used as input into high-resolution static reservoir models to address the gap of our understanding in inter-well scale heterogeneities of similar subsurface hydrocarbon reservoirs.

 Note: the feeding habit of D. tesselatus is not adequately known. Lindquist (1986) suggested that it might feed on lichens, algae or plant leaves. In this study, specimens of this species were maintained for a week in a laboratory on leaves of M. guianensis and C. pubescens. During that period, the mites were observed feeding on those leaves on several occasions. Males and females were reared to adults, and became progressively more intensively green, suggesting the ingestion of leaf cell contents.

Human monocyte chemotaxis: migrating cells are a subpopulation with multiple chemotaxin specificities on each cell.

description: Only 20 to 40% of human blood monocytes were capable of responding to chemotaxins in vitro. This limit is not due to restrictions of the in vitro system, but is due to the existence of a migrating subpopulation. Over a wide range, the number of cells migrating toward a given concentration of chemotaxin was directly proportional to the number added to the chemotaxis chamber. These monocytes responded to all of the three stimuli used: human serum-derived C5a, human lymphocyte-derived chemotactic factor, and a synthetic peptide. It was possible to deactivate cells to one attractant, leaving the response to other attractants intact. This suggested that these attractants were recognized by different receptors. Several lines of evidence showed that most migrating cells had receptors for all three chemotaxins tested. Thus, if cells were assayed for migration to one attractant, no additional migration occurred when the remaining cells were assayed for migration to a different attractant. Furthermore, the same cells that had migrated toward one attractant were able to respond to other chemotaxins. We also found that a single attractant attracted as many cells as a combination of two or three attractants. Calculations from these data showed that at least 75% of the migrating monocytes have different receptors for all three attractants.

description: Measurements of the linear growth factor $D$ at different redshifts $z$ are key to distinguish among cosmological models. One can estimate the derivative $dD(z)/d\ln(1+z)$ from redshift space measurements of the 3D anisotropic galaxy two-point correlation $ξ(z)$, but the degeneracy of its transverse (or projected) component with galaxy bias $b$, i.e. $ξ_{\perp}(z) \propto\ D^2(z) b^2(z)$, introduces large errors in the growth measurement. Here we present a comparison between two methods which break this degeneracy by combining second- and third-order statistics. One uses the shape of the reduced three-point correlation and the other a combination of third-order one- and two-point cumulants. These methods use the fact that, for Gaussian initial conditions and scales larger than $20$ $h^{-1}$Mpc, the reduced third-order matter correlations are independent of redshift (and therefore of the growth factor) while the third-order galaxy correlations depend on $b$. We use matter and halo catalogs from the MICE-GC simulation to test how well we can recover $b(z)$ and therefore $D(z)$ with these methods in 3D real space. We also present a new approach, which enables us to measure $D$ directly from the redshift evolution of second- and third-order galaxy correlations without the need of modelling matter correlations. For haloes with masses lower than $10^{14}$ $h^{-1}$M$_\odot$, we find $10%$ deviations between the different estimates of $D$, which are comparable to current observational errors. At higher masses we find larger differences that can probably be attributed to the breakdown of the bias model and non-Poissonian shot noise.

description: The solution of Allen-Cahn variational inequalities with mass constraints is of interest in many applications. This problem can be solved both in its scalar and vector-valued form as a PDE-constrained optimization problem by means of a primal-dual active set method. At the heart of this method lies the solution of linear systems in saddle point form. In this paper we propose the use of Krylov-subspace solvers and suitable preconditioners for the saddle point systems. Numerical results illustrate the competitiveness of this approach.
Secondary invariants for string cobordism and tmf

Publisher: name: Universität Regensburg
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: 510 Mathematik

description: Using spectral invariants of Dirac operators we construct a secondary version of the Witten genus, namely a bordism invariant of string manifolds in dimensions 4m−1. We prove a secondary index theorem which relates this global-analytic construction with its homotopy-theoretic analog. The latter will be calculated through its factorization over topological modular forms.
Entomovector, an alternative way of controlling plant disease

description: Insects and plants have co-evolved to benefit one other since the beginning of time, but plant pathogens have also co-adapted for optimal dispersal. Abiotic factors mediate disease dispersal across short and long distances, but insect vectors such as pollinators can also play a role. Indeed, they are well-known for their ability to transfer viruses, fungal and bacterial spores, as well as pollen (Card et al., 2007). On the basis of this, the idea of using pollinators as vectors in a new, environmentally friendly management technique to disperse control agents against plant illnesses and insect pests into crop blooms emerged (Peng et al., 1992). Pollinators are not only necessary for pollination in this setting, but they also play an important dual role. Hokkanen and Menzler-Hokkanen (2007) coined the term ''entomovector technology,'' and describe it as the use of managed pollinators as disseminators of biological control agents against crop pests. The technique integrates many ecological components such as pollinators, biocontrol agents, and plant pathogens/insect pests (Kevan et al., 2008).
The hammock localization preserves homotopies

description: The hammock localization provides a model for a homotopy function complex in any Quillen model category. We prove that a homotopy between a pair of morphisms induces a homotopy between the maps induced by taking the hammock localization. We describe applications of this fact to the study of homotopy algebras over monads and homotopy idempotent functors. Among other things, we prove that, under Vopěnka's principle, every homotopy idempotent functor in a cofibrantly generated model category is determined by simplicial orthogonality with respect to a set of morphisms. We also give a new proof of the fact that left Bousfield localizations with respect to a class of morphisms always exist in any left proper combinatorial model category under Vopěnka's principle.

title: Are we sharing our data and software yet? Community, tools, incentives - and flexibility

description: The culture around sharing our data and software is evolving. Funders are starting to provide more clarity and requirements. Institutions are working to provide support and incentives. And journals are requiring that data be cited with some improvement on software as well. And yet, it is still difficult. Not all data can be shared. Not all data can be cited. As us celebrate our progress we must also strengthen our collaboration and efforts in addressing the current challenges and those to come. Achieving FAIR, open and reproducible research through data and software management and preservation is both difficult and rewarding. Governance and sovereignty as represented by the CARE Principles give us a framework to expand research stakeholders to the people and community. In this talk we will share approaches that the AGU is taking to share data and software with stakeholders of the research ecosystem for better science, decision-making, and transparency. Persistence is necessary. Flexibility is key.

Emergence and Sedimentation of Silicate Clouds in Substellar Atmospheres Using Spitzer IRS Spectra

description: We reprocess and analyze all 113 mid-infrared low-resolution spectra of field M5-T9 dwarfs observed with the Spitzer Infrared Spectrograph (IRS), focusing on the main water, methane, ammonia, and silicate absorption bands. Silicate absorption at 8-11 micron is broadly detected in objects with spectral types between L2 and L8, and peaks over L4-L6. An analysis of the correlation between silicate absorption strength, near-infrared color excesses, and previously reported photometric variability provides the most comprehensive evidence so far that cloud condensates in L dwarfs are made of silicates and for the first time observationally establishes their emergence and sedimentation between effective temperatures of 2000 K and 1300 K. Results from this analysis further confirm that these silicate clouds are responsible of the observed color scatter and photometric variability in L dwarfs. About 60% of the IRS spectra in our study are presented for the first time, and the full set of uniformly reduced spectra is now made publicly available. The data can be used for further studies of substellar atmospheres, and as context for ultracool dwarf and exoplanet observations with the James Webb Space Telescope.
A Chebotarev-type density theorem for divisors on algebraic varieties

Subjects: subject: 510 Mathematik

description: Let Z -> X be a finite branched Galois cover of normal projective geometrically integral varieties of dimension d >- 2 over a perfect field k. For such a cover, we prove a Chebotarev-type density result describing the decomposition behaviour of geometrically integral Cartier divisors. As an application, we classify Galois covers among all nite branched covers of a given normal geometrically integral variety X over k by the decomposition behaviour of points of a fixed codimension r with 0 < r < dimX.

Heatmaps showing all correlations and cytoscape graphs showing significant correlations ≥0.7 between inflammatory marker correlations between the ventral hippocampus and basolateral amygdala in male and female adolescent (A-C), young adult (D-F), and middle-aged (G-I) rats after cognitive bias testing. The thickness of the lines in B, C, E, F, H, and I are related to the strength of the correlation (stronger is thicker), whereas the color relates to the valence (positive (red) or negative (blue)) of the correlation. Correlations of inflammatory marker levels within the ventral hippocampus and basolateral amygdala were largely positive in all age groups, although correlations between regions were more negative in male and female young adults compared to the other age groups. In adolescence, there was a sex difference in the correlations between basolateral amygdala IL-6 and cytokines (IFN-γ, IL-1β, IL-4, IL-5, IL-10, IL-13, TNF-α) in the ventral hippocampus, with positive correlations in adolescent females compared to negative correlations in adolescent males. n=7-11 per group.
