Pteridophytes as active components in gardening, agricultural and horticultural ecosystems in Japan
Creators: name: Kawano, Tomonori
Publisher: name: Advances in Horticultural Science
Year: 2015

description: Many members of Pteridophytes have been traditionally used in the designs of Japanese gardens and a large variety of ferns attract gardeners as greening pieces in the garden designs. However, details or examples of practical uses of ferns in traditional gardening in Japan have only rarely been introduced in non-Japanese literatures to date, despite the importance of ferns in Japanese gardening traditions. In addition to the discussion of ferns in gardening, the use and association of these plants in Japanese agricultural and horticultural sceneries are addressed. The presence and importance of 40 familiar fern species in local gardening, agricultural and horticultural ecosystems are also discussed, as well as the roles of introduced ferns as key elements of ecosystems and their interaction with neighboring biota. Finally, some examples of uses of fern species in environmental science and engineering are also reviewed.

description: Background: The ground state neutron density of a medium mass nucleus contains fundamental nuclear structure information and is at present relatively poorly known. Purpose: We explore if parity violating elastic electron scattering can provide a feasible and model independent way to determine not just the neutron radius but the full radial shape of the neutron density $ρ_n(r)$ and the weak charge density $ρ_W(r)$ of a nucleus. Methods: We expand the weak charge density of $^{48}$Ca in a model independent Fourier Bessel series and calculate the statistical errors in the individual coefficients that might be obtainable in a model parity violating electron scattering experiment. Results: We find that it is feasible to determine roughly six Fourier Bessel coefficients of the weak charge density of 48Ca within a reasonable amount of beam time. However, it would likely be much harder to determine the full weak density of a significantly heavier nucleus such as 208Pb. Conclusions: Parity violating elastic electron scattering can determine the full weak charge density of a medium mass nucleus in a model independent way. This weak density contains fundamental information on the size, surface thickness, shell oscillations, and saturation density of the neutron distribution in a nucleus. The measured $ρ_W(r)$, combined with the previously known charge density $ρ_{ch}(r)$, will literally provide a detailed textbook picture of where the neutrons and protons are located in an atomic nucleus.

description: Gladiolus is a valuable asexually propagated plant of horticultural importance. Here, in the present communication, in vitro embryogenesis protocol and 2C DNA content of embryo regenerated plant are described. Callus was first induced from corms on 2, 4-D and NAA + BAP amended MS medium and the frequency was maximum (75.12%) in 0.5 mg/l NAA + 0.5 mg/l BAP added medium. The callus differentiated into embryos on 2, 4-D at variable numbers (3.13-5.32/callus mass); the addition of 1.0 mg/l BAP and 0.25 mg/l NAA was found very efficient in proliferating embryos (7.99/callus mass). Direct somatic embryos were also formed on corm surfaces on 2, 4-D (0.5-1.0 mg/l) amended medium at varying numbers. The embryos did not progress to maturity in same induction medium, so other PGR treatments containing GA3 and ABA were added. The amendment of GA3 was more responsive compared to ABA and 0.5-1.0 mg/l of GA3 was identified as best effective treatment. The embryos showed a maximum of 62.15% maturity in 0.5 mg/l GA3 added medium after 8th of culture. On BAP containing medium the mature embryos converted into plantlets and highest germination (42.65%) was noticed on 0.5 mg/l BAP added medium. The 2C DNA content of regenerated plant was measured by flow cytometry and was noted to be 1.34 pg. The somatic embryo derived plantlets are true-to-type, stable and grew normally in outdoor conditions, genome size is identical to corm derived gladiolus plants. This is the first flow cytometric DNA analysis description in somatic embryo regenerated gladiolus plant.

description: Influenza A virus infection is a common respiratory tract infection. Alveolar hemorrhage has been reported in patients with influenza pneumonia and in mice infected with influenza A. In this study, we investigated the effect of two anticoagulants on alveolar hemorrhage after influenza A virus (IAV) infection of wild-type mice. Wild-type mice were anticoagulated with either warfarin or the direct thrombin inhibitor dabigatran etexilate and then infected with a mouse-adapted influenza virus (A/Puerto Rico/8/34 H1N1). Alveolar hemorrhage was assessed by measuring hemoglobin levels in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF). We also measured vascular permeability and viral genomes in the lung, as well as white blood cells, inflammatory mediators, and protein in BALF. Survival and body weight were monitored for 14 days after influenza A infection. In infected mice receiving either warfarin or dabigatran etexilate we observed decreased activation of coagulation in the BALF and increased alveolar hemorrhage. Warfarin but not dabigatran etexilate increased vascular permeability and mortality of influenza A-infected mice. Anticoagulation did not affect levels of influenza A genomes, white blood cells, inflammatory mediators, or protein in the BALF. Our study indicates that systemic anticoagulation increases alveolar hemorrhage in influenza A-infected mice.

description: Essentials H1N1 Influenza A virus (IAV) infection is a hemostatic challenge for the lung. Tissue factor (TF) on lung epithelial cells maintains lung hemostasis after IAV infection. Reduced TF-dependent activation of coagulation leads to alveolar hemorrhage. Anticoagulation might increase the risk for hemorrhages into the lung during severe IAV infection. Summary: Background Influenza A virus (IAV) infection is a common respiratory tract infection that causes considerable morbidity and mortality worldwide. Objective To investigate the effect of genetic deficiency of tissue factor (TF) in a mouse model of IAV infection. Methods Wild-type mice, low-TF (LTF) mice and mice with the TF gene deleted in different cell types were infected with a mouse-adapted A/Puerto Rico/8/34 H1N1 strain of IAV. TF expression was measured in the lungs, and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was collected to measure extracellular vesicle TF, activation of coagulation, alveolar hemorrhage, and inflammation. Results IAV infection of wild-type mice increased lung TF expression, activation of coagulation and inflammation in BALF, but also led to alveolar hemorrhage. LTF mice and mice with selective deficiency of TF in lung epithelial cells had low basal levels of TF and failed to increase TF expression after infection; these two strains of mice had more alveolar hemorrhage and death than controls. In contrast, deletion of TF in either myeloid cells or endothelial cells and hematopoietic cells did not increase alveolar hemorrhage or death after IAV infection. These results indicate that TF expression in the lung, particularly in epithelial cells, is required to maintain alveolar hemostasis after IAV infection. Conclusion Our study indicates that TF-dependent activation of coagulation is required to limit alveolar hemorrhage and death after IAV infection.
Measurement of the centrality dependence of the charged-particle pseudorapidity distribution in proton--lead collisions at $\sqrt{s_{_{\rm{NN}}}} = 5.02$ TeV with the ATLAS detector

description: The centrality dependence of the mean charged-particle multiplicity as a function of pseudorapidity is measured in approximately 1 $μ$b$^{-1}$ of proton--lead collisions at a nucleon--nucleon centre-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s_{_{\rm{NN}}}} = 5.02$ TeV using the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. Charged particles with absolute pseudorapidity less than 2.7 are reconstructed using the ATLAS pixel detector. The $p$+Pb collision centrality is characterised by the total transverse energy measured in the Pb-going direction of the forward calorimeter. The charged-particle pseudorapidity distributions are found to vary strongly with centrality, with an increasing asymmetry between the proton-going and Pb-going directions as the collisions become more central. Three different estimations of the number of nucleons participating in the $p$+Pb collision have been carried out using the Glauber model as well as two Glauber--Gribov inspired extensions to the Glauber model. Charged-particle multiplicities per participant pair are found to vary differently for these three models, highlighting the importance of including colour fluctuations in nucleon--nucleon collisions in the modelling of the initial state of $p$+Pb collisions.

description: Male flower expression is considered an important aim in greenhouse cucumber breeding for creating paternal lines as a base for hybrid progeny. The study was carried out to evaluate the effects of different treatments on sex expression and fruit yield of cucumber in two different season (autumn-winter and spring-summer), in particular this research focuses on the influence of 1) usage of two chemical agents: silver thiosulphate [Ag(S2O3)2-3] and silver nitrate (AgNO3) at different concentration, respectively 200 and 500 ppm and 100, 200 and 300 ppm 2) plant development stages at the moment of the treatment (5, 10, and 15-leaf growth stages) and 3) application of single or double sprayings. Analysis of variance showed that season, chemical applications and number of spaying had significant effect on the induction of a higher number of male flowers. A positive significant effect of season suggested that longer days and higher temperature promote the formation of male flowers in cucumber. This study showed that male flower production was induced by all concentrations of silver ions, especially high concentrations. Important traits related to change of sex expression such as the number of days to male flowering and the number of male flowers are more affected by different interactions of studied factors in contrast to vegetative and yield related traits. Also, the quadruple interaction effects indicated that silver ion could change sex expression at higher temperatures and longer days (second season in summer) with high concentration when applied in 15 leaf stage for AgNO3 and 5 and 15 leaf growth stage for Ag(S2O3)2-3 with double spraying. Consequently, female lines can be induced to male flowering with silver ions, thus increasing the feasibility of large scale seed production of gynoecious × gynoecious cucumber hybrid.

description: We perform a classification of the Lie point symmetries for the Black--Scholes--Merton Model for European options with stochastic volatility, $σ$, in which the last is defined by a stochastic differential equation with an Orstein--Uhlenbeck term. In this model, the value of the option is given by a linear (1 + 2) evolution partial differential equation in which the price of the option depends upon two independent variables, the value of the underlying asset, $S$, and a new variable, $y$. We find that for arbitrary functional form of the volatility, $σ(y)$, the (1 + 2) evolution equation always admits two Lie point symmetries in addition to the automatic linear symmetry and the infinite number of solution symmetries. However, when $σ(y)=σ_{0}$ and as the price of the option depends upon the second Brownian motion in which the volatility is defined, the (1 + 2) evolution is not reduced to the Black--Scholes--Merton Equation, the model admits five Lie point symmetries in addition to the linear symmetry and the infinite number of solution symmetries. We apply the zeroth-order invariants of the Lie symmetries and we reduce the (1 + 2) evolution equation to a linear second-order ordinary differential equation. Finally, we study two models of special interest, the Heston model and the Stein--Stein model.

description: In this issue of Trends in Cardiovascular Medicine, Witkowski et al. review studies proposing that tissue factor (TF) links coagulation and inflammation. Importantly, TF is a cofactor for the coagulation protease factor VIIa(FVIIa) and therefore it is theTF:FVIIa complex that initiates the coagulation cascade. Interestingly, it has structural homology to members of the class 2 cytokine receptor family. The primary role of the TF:FVIIa complex is to maintain hemostasis. Indeed, a complete deficiency of either TF or FVII is not compatible with life. Activation of the coagulation cascade by the TF:FVIIa complex generates a number of serine proteases that can activate cells and enhance inflammation by cleavage of protease activated receptors (PARs). For instance, FXa activates PAR2 and thrombin activates PAR1. Therefore, the TF:FVIIa complex has a secondary role as an enhancer of inflammation.

description: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) comprises of 75% of all lung cancers. Human full length tissue factor (flHTF), the physiological initiator of blood coagulation, is aberrantly expressed in certain solid tumors. FlHTF and its soluble isoform, alternatively spliced human tissue factor (asHTF), have been shown to contribute to thrombogenicity of the blood of healthy individuals. The aim of this study was to quantify flHTF and asHTF on mRNA and protein levels (using immunohistochemistry, immunoblotting, and ELISA) on a panel of human NSCLC tissue and plasma specimens. The tissue factor (TF) expression of 21 pulmonary adenomatous (AC) and 12 normal healthy tissues was assessed by real-time qRT-PCR. The TF protein concentration was quantified by ELISA in a subset of 11 AC and 9 normal tissue specimens as well as in the plasma of 13 lung cancer patients and 15 healthy controls. We found a significant increase in the ratio of flHTF/HGAPDH mRNA in AC (0.24±0.06 vs. 0.07±0.01; p=0.02 vs. controls) and in asHTF/HGAPDH mRNA (0.027±0.01 vs. 0.004±0.001; p=0.03 AC vs. controls). AsHTF mRNA expression was significantly lower in patients with stage IA disease compared to patients with higher grade stages, pointing to TF as being a marker of malignancy and metastases. TF protein of lung tumors was significantly increased in AC (p=0.004 vs. controls). TF in plasma was up-regulated in lung cancer patients (334.9±95.4 vs. 124.1±14.8 pg/ml; p=0.02 vs. controls). Immunohistochemical and immunoblotting data are in line with the increased TF expression, showing elevated blood thrombogenicity of NSCLC patients. The up-regulation of flHTF and, especially, asHTF in AC suggests not only a raised risk of thrombosis, but also of tumor progression, thereby, indicating a poor prognosis in these patients.

description: Service robots for personal use in the home and the workplace require end-user development solutions for swiftly scripting robot tasks as the need arises. Many existing solutions preserve ease, efficiency, and convenience through simple programming interfaces or by restricting task complexity. Others facilitate meticulous task design but often do so at the expense of simplicity and efficiency. There is a need for robot programming solutions that reconcile the complexity of robotics with the on-the-fly goals of end-user development. In response to this need, we present a novel, multimodal, and on-the-fly development system, Tabula. Inspired by a formative design study with a prototype, Tabula leverages a combination of spoken language for specifying the core of a robot task and sketching for contextualizing the core. The result is that developers can script partial, sloppy versions of robot programs to be completed and refined by a program synthesizer. Lastly, we demonstrate our anticipated use cases of Tabula via a set of application scenarios.

LC polymersomes possess the properties of both liquid crystals and polymers, the two essential soft matters. LC polymersomes offer, on the one hand, novel examples of the interplay between orientational order and the curved geometry of a two dimensional membrane. Spherical, ellipsoidal and tetrahedral vesicles are discussed. On the other hand, LC polymersomes enable novel design of stimuli-responsive polymersomes using intramolecular conformational transition from nematic to isotropic phase of LC blocks. Photo-responsive polymersome bursting is highlighted.

description: The successful transition to a low-carbon economy hinges on innovative solutions and collaborative action on a global scale. Sustainable entrepreneurship is thereby recognized as a key driver in the creation and transformation of ecologically and socially sustainable economic systems. The purpose of this article is to contribute to this topic by understanding commercialization barriers for strong sustainability-oriented new technology ventures and to derive recommendations to overcome them. A qualitative multilevel approach is applied to identify barriers and drivers within the internal dynamic capabilities of the organization and within the organization’s external stakeholders. A model of barriers has been developed based on semi-structured interviews with new carbon dioxide utilization ventures and associated industry players in Canada, the USA, and the European Economic Area. Resulting recommendations to facilitate the (re-)design of a dedicated support system are proposed on four levels: (a) actors, (b) resources, (c) institutional settings, and (d) the coordination of the support system.

Since these products leave signatures in the spectra near maximum light, spectral features may be used to constrain the composition of the progenitor. We calculate the nucleosynthetic yields for three \snia simulations, assuming single degenerate, Chandrasekhar mass progenitors, for a wide range of progenitor metallicities, and calculate synthetic light curves and spectra to explore correlations between progenitor metallicity and the strength of spectral features. We use two 2D simulations of the deflagration-detonation-transition scenario with different $^{56}$Ni yields and the W7 simulation to control for differences between explosion models and total yields.

description: We investigate solution methods for large-scale inverse problems governed by partial differential equations (PDEs) via Bayesian inference. The Bayesian framework provides a statistical setting to infer uncertain parameters from noisy measurements. To quantify posterior uncertainty, we adopt Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) approaches for generating samples. To increase the efficiency of these approaches in high-dimension, we make use of local information about gradient and Hessian of the target potential, also via Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (HMC). Our target application is inferring the field of soil permeability processing observations of pore pressure, using a nonlinear PDE poromechanics model for predicting pressure from permeability. We compare the performance of different sampling approaches in this and other settings. We also investigate the effect of dimensionality and non-gaussianity of distributions on the performance of different sampling methods.

description: The mechanism of high temperature superconductivity in the iron-based superconductors remains an outstanding issue in condensed matter physics. The electronic structure, in particular the Fermi surface topology, is considered to play an essential role in dictating the superconductivity. Recent revelation of distinct electronic structure and possible high temperature superconductivity with a transition temperature Tc above 65 K in the single-layer FeSe films grown on the SrTiO3 substrate provides key information on the roles of Fermi surface topology and interface in inducing or enhancing superconductivity. Here we report high resolution angle-resolved photoemission measurement on the electronic structure and superconducting gap of a novel FeSe-based superconductor, (Li0.84Fe0.16)OHFe0.98Se, with a Tc at 41 K. We find that this single-phase bulk superconductor shows remarkably similar electronic behaviors to that of the superconducting single-layer FeSe/SrTiO3 film in terms of Fermi surface topology, band structure and nearly isotropic superconducting gap without nodes. These observations provide significant insights in understanding high temperature superconductivity in the single-layer FeSe/SrTiO3 film in particular, and the mechanism of superconductivity in the iron-based superconductors in general.

description: In this paper we study updating effects on cellular automata rule space. We consider a subset of 6144 order-3 automata from the space of 262144 bi-dimensional outer-totalistic rules. We compare synchronous to asynchronous and sequential updatings. Focusing on two automata, we discuss how update changes destroy typical structures of these rules. Besides, we show that the first-order phase-transition in the multiverse of synchronous cellular automata, revealed with the use of a recently introduced control parameter, seems to be robust not only to changes in update schema but also to different initial densities.

description: Σε αυτή τη διπλωματική εργασία μελετήθηκε η βελτιστοποίηση της λειτουργίας ενός μικροδικτύου με ανανεώσιμες πηγές ενέργειας και μονάδες αποθήκευσης ενέργειας. Στόχος είναι ο βέλτιστος χρονοπρογραμματισμός της λειτουργίας των επιμέρους ηλεκτρικών συσκευών μίας ομάδας διασυνδεδεμένων κατοικιών έτσι ώστε να ελαχιστοποιείται το συνολικό κόστος παροχής ηλεκτρικής ενέργειας στις κατοικίες του μικροδικτύου. Το μικροδίκτυο είναι διασυνδεδεμένο με το κεντρικό ηλεκτρικό δίκτυο, δίνοντας τη δυνατότητα ανταλλαγής ηλεκτρικής ενέργειας με αυτό σε περίπτωση που υπάρχει έλλειμα ή περίσσευμα ενέργειας. Υλοποιήθηκαν εναλλακτικοί τρόποι συγχρονισμένου χρονοπρογραμματισμού της λειτουργίας των ηλεκτρικών συσκευών των επιμέρους κατοικιών και διερευνήθηκε η απόδοση των αντίστοιχων αλγορίθμων σε σχέση με τις τιμές αγοράς/πώλησης της ηλεκτρικής ενέργειας, τον αριθμό διασυνδεδεμένων κατοικιών του μικροδικτύου και την εποχή του έτους. Τα αποτελέσματα έδειξαν ότι η διαδικασία του βέλτιστου χρονοπρογραμματισμού της λειτουργίας των επιμέρους ηλεκτρικών συσκευών στις κατοικίες του μικροδικτύου, μπορεί να προσφέρει μείωση του συνολικού κόστους ηλεκτρικής ενέργειας του μικροδικτύου κατά 11.3-26.5 %.

description: We propose the pure sea-quark contributions to the magnetic form factors of $Σ$ baryons, $G_{Σ^-}^u$ and $G_{Σ^+}^d$, as priority observables for the examination of sea-quark contributions to baryon structure, both in present lattice QCD simulations and possible future experimental measurement. $G_{Σ^-}^u$, the $u$-quark contribution to the magnetic form factor of $Σ^-$, and $G_{Σ^+}^d$, the $d$-quark contribution to the magnetic form factor of $Σ^+$, are similar to the strange quark contribution to the magnetic form factor of the nucleon, but promise to be larger by an order of magnitude. We explore the size of this quantity within chiral effective field theory, including both octet and decuplet intermediate states. The finite range regularization approach is applied to deal with ultraviolet divergences. Drawing on an established connection between quenched and full QCD, this approach makes it possible to predict the sea quark contribution to the magnetic form factor purely from the meson loop. In the familiar convention where the quark charge is set to unity $G_{Σ^-}^u = G_{Σ^+}^d$. We find a value of $-0.38^{+0.16}_{-0.17}\ μ_N$, which is about seven times larger than the strange magnetic moment of the nucleon found in the same approach. Including quark charge factors, the $u$-quark contribution to the $Σ^-$ magnetic moment exceeds the strange quark contribution to the nucleon magnetic moment by a factor of 14.

description: Background and Objectives: Ionizing radiation (IR) is associated with thrombotic vascular occlusion predicting a poor clinical outcome. Our study examined whether IR induced tissue factor (TF) expression and procoagulability. We further investigated coordinated gene alterations associated with TF upregulation in the myelomonocytic leukemia THP-1 cells. Design and Methods: TF expression was determined by quantitative Reverse Transcriptase (TaqMan®) PCR, TF ELISA and TF activity by a two stage chromogenic assay in the time course of days 1, 3, 7, 10, and 17 post IR. To detect IR-induced alterations in gene expression, Affymetrix HG U133 Plus 2.0 microarrays were used. Results: IR induced a significant increase in TF/GAPDH mRNA ratios and cellular TF protein on days 3 and 7 post IR (20 Gy [p≤0.01] and 40 Gy [p≤0.01 vs. control]), suggesting a late and persistent induction of TF. An increase in cellular TF activity was already found 1 day post IR (20 Gy and 40 Gy [p≥0.001] vs. control respectively), suggesting IR immediately alters the cellular thrombogenicity. TF upregulation post IR was confirmed in PBMNCs. Gene expression profiling showed IR increased the expression of inflammatory and apoptosis-related pathways known to be involved in the regulation of TF expression. Interpretation and Conclusions: TF upregulation together with inflammation and apoptosis may increase the thrombogenicity of tissues. The demonstrated upregulation of TF might play a pivotal role in radiation associated thrombosis.

Tissue factor-positive microparticles in blood associated with coagulopathy in cancer

description: Thrombotic events are the major complication in cancer patients, which contribute significantly to the patients’ morbidity and mortality. Upregulation of tissue factor (TF), the primary initiator of blood coagulation, on malignant tumors is associated with hypercoagulability, tumor angiogenesis and progression. Blood-borne TF is mostly present on the surface of circulating microparticles (MPs) and has been described to increase the systemic hypercoagulability in cancer patients. In this issue of Thrombosis and Haemostasis, Hron et al. describe an approximately two-fold increase in TF-positive MPs, that was associated with a four-fold increase in D-dimer level in the blood of Duke’s D colorectal cancer patients compared to tumor-free healthy age- and sex-matched controls. Surprisingly, the increase in TF-positive MPs seen in the circulating blood of these patients was attributed to MPs, which were mainly derived from platelets and – in trend – leukocytes.

Polynomially Low Error PCPs with polyloglog n Queries via Modular Composition

description: We show that every language in NP has a PCP verifier that tosses $O(\log n)$ random coins, has perfect completeness, and a soundness error of at most $1/\text{poly}(n)$, while making at most $O(\text{poly}\log\log n)$ queries into a proof over an alphabet of size at most $n^{1/\text{poly}\log\log n}$. Previous constructions that obtain $1/\text{poly}(n)$ soundness error used either $\text{poly}\log n $ queries or an exponential sized alphabet, i.e. of size $2^{n^c}$ for some $c>0$. Our result is an exponential improvement in both parameters simultaneously. Our result can be phrased as a polynomial-gap hardness for approximate CSPs with arity $\text{poly}\log\log n$ and alphabet size $n^{1/\text{poly}\log n}$. The ultimate goal, in this direction, would be to prove polynomial hardness for CSPs with constant arity and polynomial alphabet size (aka the sliding scale conjecture for inverse polynomial soundness error). Our construction is based on a modular generalization of previous PCP constructions in this parameter regime, which involves a composition theorem that uses an extra `consistency' query but maintains the inverse polynomial relation between the soundness error and the alphabet size. Our main technical/conceptual contribution is a new notion of soundness, which we refer to as {\em distributional soundness}, that replaces the previous notion of "list decoding soundness", and that allows us to prove a modular composition theorem with tighter parameters. This new notion of soundness allows us to invoke composition a super-constant number of times without incurring a blow-up in the soundness error.

description: Measurements of the polarization of radio emission are subject to a number of depolarization effects such as bandwidth depolarization, which is caused by the averaging effect of a finite channel bandwidth combined with the frequency-dependent polarization caused by Faraday rotation. There have been very few mathematical treatments of bandwidth depolarization, especially in the context of the rotation measure (RM) synthesis method for analyzing radio polarization data. We have found a simple equation for predicting if bandwidth depolarization is significant for a given observational configuration. We have derived and tested three methods of modifying RM synthesis to correct for bandwidth depolarization. From these tests we have developed a new algorithm that can detect bandwidth-depolarized signals with higher signal-to-noise than conventional RM synthesis and recover the correct source polarization properties (RM and polarized intensity). We have verified that this algorithm works as expected with real data from the LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey. To make this algorithm available to the community, we have added it as a new tool in the RM-Tools polarization analysis package.
