description: The emission rate of a point dipole can be strongly increased in the presence of a well-designed optical antenna. Yet, optical antenna design is largely based on radio-frequency rules, ignoring, e.g., Ohmic losses and non-negligible field penetration in metals at optical frequencies. Here, we combine reciprocity and Poynting’s theorem to derive a set of optical-frequency antenna design rules for benchmarking and optimizing the performance of optical antennas driven by single quantum emitters. Based on these findings a novel plasmonic cavity antenna design is presented exhibiting a considerably improved performance compared to a reference two-wire antenna. Our work will be useful for the design of high-performance optical antennas and nanoresonators for diverse applications ranging from quantum optics to antenna-enhanced single-emitter spectroscopy and sensing.

description: The efficient frontier (EF) allows an investor to (in theory) maximise their return for a given level of risk. Portfolios on the EF may contain many assets, making their management difficult and possibly expensive. An investor may wish to impose an upper bound on the number of assets in their portfolio, leading to so-called cardinality constrained efficient frontiers (CCEFs). Recently, a new algorithm was developed to find CCEFs for small cardinalities. Relative to other algorithms for this problem, this algorithm is very intuitive, and its authors demonstrated that it performs at nearly the state-of-the-art. However, we have found that the algorithm seems to struggle in certain situations, particularly when faced with both bonds and equities. While preserving its intuitiveness, we modified the algorithm to improve its CCEFs. This improvement comes with longer runtimes, but we think many practitioners will prefer the algorithm with modifications. Some practitioners may prefer other algorithms, due to the runtimes or because some points on our CCEFs still fall short of optimality. However, in addition to its intuitiveness, our modified algorithms (and the original version) find low-risk points on the CCEF that a state-of-the-art algorithm does not.

description: Many ridesharing platforms operate with dual capacities. They employ full-timers, in addition to independent service providers (also known as self-schedulers). Unlike self-schedulers, full-timers work exclusively for a platform and have limited flexibility. While allocating demand between the two capacities, a platform could prioritize its own full-timers over self-schedulers (preferential policy). This preferential treatment is considered discriminatory and, hence, illegal, even though it may maximize profits. Ridesharing platforms, therefore, have to explore alternative operating policies to overcome this legal hurdle. This study is a step towards helping platform managers identify the best alternative (or at the least the second-best alternative) to the controversial preferential policy. It explores two alternative non-discriminatory policies—contingency capacity policy (self-schedulers get higher priority in demand allocation) and common-pool policy (equal preference to the two capacities). A major finding of this study is that the contingency capacity policy, the most altruistic among the three policies, can deliver optimal profits for asset-light platforms (platforms with fewer full-timers). Managers of asset-light platforms could leverage the altruistic nature of the contingency capacity policy to attract more self-schedulers to join the platform and derive a significant competitive advantage.

description: The continuous performance of networked infrastructures, such as transportation, telecommunications, and power transmission, is critical to the economic development and social well-being of society. To ensure their reliability in continuously meeting prescribed demand, cost-effective maintenance is essential. To this end, the influence of maintenance actions measures on the reliability of an infrastructure need to be considered both during their implementation and after their completion. To address this problem and to consider the uncertainty of future states, we model the multi-period optimisation of an infrastructure’s maintenance planning as a stochastic dynamic programming problem. An approximate dynamic programming approach is developed to deal with the computational complexity and solve the described problem. The proposed approach can help deal with the uncertainty of future infrastructure states by determining the optimal maintenance plan for each possible state in advance.

description: Adipose tissue (AT) inflammation is a central mechanism for metabolic dysfunction in both diet-induced obesity and age-associated obesity. Studies in diet-induced obesity have characterized the role of Fetuin A (Fet A) in Free Fatty Acids (FFA)-mediated TLR4 activation and adipose tissue inflammation. However, the role of Fet A & TLR4 in aging-related adipose tissue inflammation is unknown. In the current study, analysis of epidymymal fat pads of C57/Bl6 male mice, we found that, in contrast to data from diet-induced obesity models, adipose tissue from aged mice have normal Fet A and TLR4 expression. Interestingly, aged TLR4-deficient mice have diminished adipose tissue inflammation compared to normal controls. We further demonstrated that reduced AT inflammation in old TLR4-deficient mice is linked to impaired ER stress, augmented autophagy activity, and diminished senescence phenomenon. Importantly, old TLR4-deficient mice have improved glucose tolerance compared to age-matched wild type mice, suggesting that the observed reduced AT inflammation in aged TLR4- deficient mice has important physiological consequences. Taken together, our present study establishes novel aspect of aging-associated AT inflammation that is distinct from diet-induced AT inflammation. Our results also provide strong evidence that TLR4 plays a significant role in promoting aging adipose tissue inflammation.

description: Coarse-grained Reconfigurable Arrays (CGRAs) are domain-agnostic accelerators that enhance the energy efficiency of resource-constrained edge devices. The CGRA landscape is diverse, exhibiting trade-offs between performance, efficiency, and architectural specialization. However, CGRAs often overprovision communication resources relative to their modest computing capabilities. This occurs because the theoretically provisioned programmability for CGRAs often proves superfluous in practical implementations.
 In this paper, we propose Plaid, a novel CGRA architecture and compiler that aligns compute and communication capabilities, thereby significantly improving energy and area efficiency while preserving its generality and performance. We demonstrate that the dataflow graph, representing the target application, can be decomposed into smaller, recurring communication patterns called motifs. The primary contribution is the identification of these structural motifs within the dataflow graphs and the development of an efficient collective execution and routing strategy tailored to these motifs. The Plaid architecture employs a novel collective processing unit that can execute multiple operations of a motif and route related data dependencies together. The Plaid compiler can hierarchically map the dataflow graph and judiciously schedule the motifs. Our design achieves a 43% reduction in power consumption and 46% area savings compared to the baseline high-performance spatio-temporal CGRA, all while preserving its generality and performance levels. In comparison to the baseline energy-efficient spatial CGRA, Plaid offers a 1.4x performance improvement and a 48% area savings, with almost the same power.

description: Adipose tissue dysfunction in aging is associated with inflammation, metabolic syndrome and other diseases. We propose that impaired protein homeostasis due to compromised lysosomal degradation (micro-autophagy) might promote aberrant ER stress response and inflammation in aging adipose tissue. Using C57BL/6 mouse model, we demonstrate that adipose tissue-derived stromal vascular fraction (SVF) cells from old (18-20 months) mice have reduced expression of autophagy markers as compared to the younger (4-6 months) cohort. Elevated expressions of ER-stress marker CHOP and autophagy substrate SQSTM1/p62 are observed in old SVFs compared to young, when treated with either vehicle or with thapsigargin (Tg), an ER stress inducer. Treatment with bafilomycin A1 (Baf), a vacuolar-type H (+)-ATPase, or Tg elevated expressions of CHOP, and SQSTM1/p62 and LC-3-II, in 3T3-L1-preadipocytes. We also demonstrate impaired autophagy activity in old SVFs by analyzing increased accumulation of autophagy substrates LC3-II and p62. Compromised autophagy activity in old SVFs is correlated with enhanced release of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and MCP-1. Finally, SVFs from calorie restricted old mice (CR-O) have shown enhanced autophagy activity compared to ad libitum fed old mice (ALO). Our results support the notion that diminished autophagy activity with aging contributes to increased adipose tissue ER stress and inflammation.

description: BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Resilience, the ability to resist or recover from adverse effects of a stressor, is of widespread interest in social, psychologic, biologic, and medical research and particularly salient as the capacity to respond to stressors becomes diminished with aging. To date, research on human resilience responses to and factors influencing these responses has been limited. METHODS: The National Institute on Aging convened a workshop in August 2015 on needs for research to improve measures to predict and assess resilience in human aging. Effects of aging-related factors in impairing homeostatic responses were developed from examples illustrating multiple determinants of clinical resilience outcomes. Research directions were identified by workshop participants. RESULTS: Research needs identified included expanded uses of clinical data and specimens in predicting or assessing resilience, and contributions from epidemiological studies in identifying long-term predictors. Better measures, including simulation tests, are needed to assess resilience and its determinants. Mechanistic studies should include exploration of influences of biologic aging processes on human resiliencies. Important resource and infrastructure needs include consensus phenotype definitions of specific resiliencies, capacity to link epidemiological and clinical resilience data, sensor technology to capture responses to stressors, better laboratory animal models of human resiliencies, and new analytic methods to understand the effects of multiple determinants of stress responses. CONCLUSIONS: Extending the focus of care and research to improving the capacity to respond to stressors could benefit older adults in promoting a healthier life span.

description: Wide-bandgap group III-nitride semiconductors are of special interest for applications in ultraviolet light emitting diodes, photodetectors, and lasers. However, epitaxial growth of high-quality III-nitride semiconductors on conventional single-crystalline substrates is challenging due to the lattice mismatch and differences in the thermal expansion coefficients. Recently, it has been shown that graphene, a two-dimensional material, can be used as a substrate for growing high-quality III–V semiconductors via quasi-van der Waals epitaxy and overcome the named challenges. Here, we report selective area growth of AlGaN nanopyramids on hole mask patterned single-layer graphene using metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy. The nanopyramid bases have a hexagonal shape with a very high nucleation yield. After subsequent AlGaN/GaN/AlGaN overgrowth on the six {101⎯⎯1} semi-polar side facets of the nanopyramids, intense room-temperature cathodoluminescence emission is observed at 365 nm with whispering gallery-like modes. This work opens up a route for achieving III-nitride opto-electronic devices on graphene substrates in the ultraviolet region for future applications.

description: The exploratory study reported here was intended to examine: how strongly subjectively reported driving avoidance behaviors (commonly referred to as self-regulation) and exposure were related to their objectively measured counterparts and whether it depended on the specific behavior; the extent to which gender and age play a role in the association between subjectively reported driving avoidance behaviors and exposure and their objectively measured counterparts; and the extent to which demographics, health and functioning, driving-related perceptions, and cognition influence the association between subjective and objective driving avoidance behaviors overall. The study used data from the Longitudinal Research on Aging Drivers (LongROAD) study, a multisite, prospective cohort study designed to generate empirical data for understanding the role of medical, behavioral, environmental, and technological factors in driving safety during the process of aging. Objective driving measures were derived from GPS/datalogger data from 2131 LongROAD participants’ vehicles. The corresponding subjective measures came from a comprehensive questionnaire administered to participants at baseline that asked them to report on their driving exposure, patterns, and other aspects of driving. Several other variables used in the analyses came from the comprehensive questionnaire and an in-person clinical assessment administered to participants at baseline. A series of simple linear and logistic models were fitted to examine the relationship between the subjective and objective driving measures of interest, and a multivariable analysis was conducted to examine the potential role of selected factors in the relationship between objective and subjective driving avoidance behaviors. Results of the models are presented and overall findings are discussed within the context of the existing research literature.

description: SiC-bonded diamond materials produced by pressureless reactive infiltration of diamond preforms with silicon show high hardness and wear resistance. These properties are due to the relatively high diamond volume content of approximately 50 vol% and the mechanically strong interface between diamond and SiC. To determine the bending strength of individual interfaces between diamond and SiC, micro-cantilevers were prepared by focused ion beam milling at 13 grain boundaries and in-situ bending tests were carried out in a scanning electron microscope. The determined strength of cantilevers showing interface fracture was 10.4 ± 4.0 GPa. Fracture surfaces were analyzed to verify the fracture behavior and initiation. In addition to fracture at the interface diamond/SiC, fracture occurred inside the SiC grains and at the SiC/silicon interface at comparable strength values. The results prove the high diamond/SiC-interface bonding strength.

description: Globally-consistent localization in urban environments is crucial for autonomous systems such as self-driving vehicles and drones, as well as assistive technologies for visually impaired people. Traditional Visual-Inertial Odometry (VIO) and Visual Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (VSLAM) methods, though adequate for local pose estimation, suffer from drift in the long term due to reliance on local sensor data. While GPS counteracts this drift, it is unavailable indoors and often unreliable in urban areas. An alternative is to localize the camera to an existing 3D map using visual-feature matching. This can provide centimeter-level accurate localization but is limited by the visual similarities between the current view and the map. This paper introduces a novel approach that achieves accurate and globally-consistent localization by aligning the sparse 3D point cloud generated by the VIO/VSLAM system to a digital twin using point-to-plane matching; no visual data association is needed. The proposed method provides a 6-DoF global measurement tightly integrated into the VIO/VSLAM system. Experiments run on a high-fidelity GPS simulator and real-world data collected from a drone demonstrate that our approach outperforms state-of-the-art VIO-GPS systems and offers superior robustness against viewpoint changes compared to the state-of-the-art Visual SLAM systems.

description: The sociology of knowledge approach to discourse assumes that cultural knowledge—and thus cultural spaces—are generated and shared through discourse. Actors’ shared perceptions of vulnerability and practices to create resilience should be interrelated with knowledge provided by the relevant discourses of local and historical influence. However, these assumptions have not been thoroughly examined. This study compares river-related knowledge (concerning human–river relationships: ecocentric and anthropocentric perspectives) in the German and Polish literary canons, with knowledge provided in the relevant public media and the shared knowledge of local populations in flood-prone city districts along the Odra River. It concludes that actors’ river-related knowledge interrelates with the knowledge produced by national and regional discourses and that culturally shared ideas of vulnerability and resilience are discursively embedded.

description: Through silicon vias (TSVs) are a key enabling technology for interconnection and realization of complex three-dimensional integrated circuit (3D-IC) components. In order to perform failure analysis without the need of destructive sample preparation, x-ray microscopy (XRM) is a rising method of analyzing the internal structure of samples. However, there is still a lack of evaluated scan recipes or best practices regarding XRM parameter settings for the study of TSVs in the current state of literature. There is also an increased interest in automated machine learning and deep learning approaches for qualitative and quantitative inspection processes in recent years. Especially deep learning based object detection is a well-known methodology for fast detection and classification capable of working with large volumetric XRM datasets. Therefore, a combined XRM and deep learning object detection workflow for automatic micrometer accurate defect location on liner-TSVs was developed throughout this work. Two measurement setups including detailed information about the used parameters for either full IC device scan or detailed TSV scan were introduced. Both are able to depict delamination defects and finer structures in TSVs with either a low or high resolution. The combination of a 0.4 objective with a beam voltage of 40 kV proved to be a good combination for achieving optimal imaging contrast for the full-device scan. However, detailed TSV scans have demonstrated that the use of a 20 objective along with a beam voltage of 140 kV significantly improves image quality. A database with 30,000 objects was created for automated data analysis, so that a well-established object recognition method for automated defect analysis could be integrated into the process analysis. This RetinaNet-based object detection method achieves a very strong average precision of 0.94. It supports the detection of erroneous TSVs in both top view and side view, so that defects can be detected at different depths. Consequently, the proposed workflow can be used for failure analysis, quality control or process optimization in R&D environments.

description: Due to their large contact and loading surfaces as well as high sensitivities to chemical changes, graphene-based materials (GBMs) are increasingly being employed into novel nanomedicine technologies. Here biomolecule—monolayer graphene—kidney tissue hybrid structures are studied using mapping micro-Raman and fluorescence spectroscopies. Because in this configuration graphene interacts with molecules on both sides, a double-sided graphene-enhanced Raman scattering (GERS) effect up to ≈10.1 is found for biomolecules adsorbed on graphene and amino acids in the kidney tissue below graphene. Moreover, graphene causes an efficient autofluorescence quenching (FLQ) up to ≈20% emitted by the kidney tissue. Despite the complexity of such layered materials, the intriguing simultaneous occurrence of double-sided GERS (a new development of GERS) and FLQ phenomena can be well explained by suitable molecular structure and energy level alignment between molecules and graphene. These result in effective charge transfer mediated by non-covalent interactions as indicated by correlative strain, doping, and defect analyses in graphene based on the Raman data and energy level calculations. Last, the advantages of using graphene over standard photobleaching are demonstrated. This work can be extended to other macromolecular entities toward integrating GBMs in versatile drug delivery, imaging, and sensing devices.

description: In the current research, magnesium and its alloys have been intensively studied as resorbable implant materials. Magnesium materials combine their good mechanical properties with bioactivity, which make them interesting for guided bone regeneration and for the application as barrier membranes. In this study, the in vitro degradation behavior of thin magnesium films was investigated in cell medium and simulated body fluid. Three methods were applied to evaluate corrosion rates: measurements of (i) the gaseous volume evolved during immersion, (ii) volume change after immersion, and (iii) polarization curves. In this comparison, measurements of H2 development in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium showed to be the most appropriate method, exhibiting a corrosion rate of 0.5 mm·year−1. Observed oxide and carbon contamination have a high impact on controlled degradation, suggesting that surface treatment of thin foils is necessary. The bioactivity test showed positive results; more detailed tests in this area are of interest.
