title: GCI Rohrpassivsammler – An innovation for the integrative monitoring of water quality
Creators: name: Hein, Jörg-Helge
Publisher: name: Deutsche Geologische Gesellschaft - Geologische Vereinigung e.V. (DGGV)
Year: 2023

description:
The GCI Rohrpassivsammler (tube-installed passive collector) is an innovative measuring device that uses the accumulation of water contaminants onto collector materials for integrative monitoring of varying concentrations, even for trace substances over long periods of time. The precise and adjustable flow and substance-specific calibration allow for a high level of sensitivity and quantitative evaluation of the collection results.

The patented measuring principle can be used with all water sources. The device has been successfully tested at production wells (installed in a bypass) and with treated wastewater, for the detection of explosives, industrial chemicals, and pharmaceuticals. Currently, applications for the detection of PFAS, Monochlorobenzene, and Lead are prepared.

In the latest design, concentrations are measured at short time intervals using substance-specific (bio)sensors, e.g. for Valsartan and Valsartanic Acid. A special design for installation in filter sections of groundwater monitoring wells is being developed which measures the concentration in-situ instead of pumping water to the surface. This design was successfully tested for detection of NSO Heterocycles. Future development is aimed at applications for surface water.

Quality and operation parameters are recorded digitally and wirelessly transmitted from the field for online access and visualisation.

Research and development are the Berliner Wasserbetriebe (BWB), the Fraunhofer Institute (IZI-BB), the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM), the Technical University of Applied Sciences Wildau (TH Wildau) and the Institute for Bioprocessing and Analytical Measurement Techniques (IBA). Development was funded by the German federal government (ZIM) and the state of Brandenburg (BIG ILB).

description: Evidence for an anomalous annual periodicity in certain nuclear decay data has led to speculation concerning a possible solar influence on nuclear processes. We have recently analyzed data concerning the decay rates of Cl-36 and Si-32, acquired at the Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL), to search for evidence that might be indicative of a process involving solar rotation. Smoothing of the power spectrum by weighted-running-mean analysis leads to a significant peak at frequency 11.18/yr, which is lower than the equatorial synodic rotation rates of the convection and radiative zones. This article concerns measurements of the decay rates of Ra-226 acquired at the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) in Germany. We find that a similar (but not identical) analysis yields a significant peak in the PTB dataset at frequency 11.21/yr, and a peak in the BNL dataset at 11.25/yr. The change in the BNL result is not significant since the uncertainties in the BNL and PTB analyses are estimated to be 0.13/yr and 0.07/yr, respectively. Combining the two running means by forming the joint power statistic leads to a highly significant peak at frequency 11.23/yr. We comment briefly on the possible implications of these results for solar physics and for particle physics.

Subterm-based proof techniques for improving the automation and scope of security protocol analysis

Year: 2023

description: During the last decades, many advances in the field of automated security protocol analysis have seen the field mature and grow from being applicable to toy examples, to modeling intricate protocol standards and finding real-world vulnerabilities that extensive manual analysis had missed.

However, modern security protocols often contain elements for which such tools were not originally designed, such as protocols that construct, by design, terms of unbounded size, such as counters, trees, and blockchains. Protocol analysis tools such as Tamarin and ProVerif have some very restricted support, but typically lack the ability to effectively reason about dynamically growing unbounded-depth terms.

In this work, we introduce subterm-based proof techniques that are tailored for automated protocol analysis in the Tamarin prover. In several case studies, we show that these techniques improve automation (allow for analyzing more protocols, or remove the need for manually specified invariants), efficiency (reduce proof size for existing analyses), and expressive power (enable new kinds of properties). In particular, we provide the first automated proofs for TreeKEM, S/Key, and Tesla Scheme 2; and we show substantial benefits, most notably in WPA2 and 5G-AKA, two of the largest automated protocol proofs.

Hedging bets with correlated quantum strategies

description: This paper studies correlations among independently administered hypothetical tests of a simple interactive type, and demonstrates that correlations arising in quantum information theoretic variants of these tests can exhibit a striking non-classical behavior. When viewed in a game-theoretic setting, these correlations are suggestive of a perfect form of hedging, where the risk of a loss in one game of chance is perfectly offset by one's actions in a second game. This type of perfect hedging is quantum in nature: it is not possible in classical variants of the tests we consider.

description:
Living benthic foraminifera are used as environmental proxies to evaluate the quality of marine ecosystems. This evaluation is usually based on diversity indices and/or on a group of indicative species with specific ecological requirements (tolerant to sensitive species). For this purpose, sorting and identification of living benthic foraminifera are needed which is time-consuming and requires taxonomical expert knowledge. In this study, we present an approach to automatically identify living (Rose Bengal stained) benthic foraminifera using the "ParticleTrieur" software (Marchant et al. 2020) and test its applicability for biomonitoring purposes. Samples from the intertidal mudflat of the Atlantic coast and the French Mediterranean coast were photographed by an automated machine consisting of a 3D printer moving in X, Y, and Z space and a camera connected to an objective with a ring light. Focus stacked images were always taken with the same exposure, stack height, and stack step. Through initial manual segmentation in the "Computer Vision Annotation Tool" (CVAT) and later training in the segmentation by artificial intelligence, living benthic foraminifera are cropped as individual images from full-field images. Using "ParticleTrieur", foraminifera images are manually labelled at the species level and a model is trained to automatically classify future images of interest. Convolutional Neural Network training is performed using Tensorflow libraries. The trained models will be applied to unclassified datasets to compare human and artificial intelligence classification concerning different ecological indices in both contrasted study areas.

description: The critical phenomena of the liquid-gas phase transition has been investigated in the reactions 78,86Kr+58,64Ni at beam energy of 35 MeV/nucleon using the Landau free energy approach with isospin asymmetry as an order parameter. Fits to the free energy of fragments showed three minima suggesting the system to be in the regime of a first order phase transition. The relation m =-{\partial}F/{\partial}H, which defines the order parameter and its conjugate field H, has been experimentally verified from the linear dependence of the mirror nuclei yield ratio data, on the isospin asymmetry of the source. The slope parameter, which is a measure of the distance from a critical temperature, showed a systematic decrease with increasing excitation energy of the source. Within the framework of the Landau free energy approach, isoscaling provided similar results as obtained from the analysis of mirror nuclei yield ratio data. We show that the external field is primarily related to the minimum of the free energy, which implies a modification of the source concentration Δused in isospin studies.

description: Counterfactual reasoning is an approach to infer what causes an observed effect by analyzing the hypothetical scenarios where a suspected cause is not present. The seminal works of Halpern and Pearl have provided a workable definition of counterfactual causality for finite settings. In this paper, we propose an approach to check causality that is tailored to reactive systems, i.e., systems that interact with their environment over a possibly infinite duration. We define causes and effects as trace properties which characterize the input and observed output behavior, respectively. We then instantiate our definitions for ω-regular properties and give automata-based constructions for our approach. Checking that an ω-regular property qualifies as a cause can then be encoded as a hyperproperty model checking problem.

description: Satellites passing overhead could assess water in kiwifruit canopy leaves and help identify when irrigation is needed. As councils tighten up on water allocations, keeping track of water use in kiwifruit and other orchards is important andwill become even more so as climate variability increases.
This article summarises the results of a Rural Professional Fund project that aimed to see if satellite monitoring of kiwifruit orchard canopies using microwave sensors called Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellites could more accurately show when irrigation is needed, given the variable soils within an individual orchard, and lead to better water management.

description: We apply the nonlinear realizations method for constructing new Galilean conformal mechanics models. Our starting point is the Galilean conformal algebra which is a non-relativistic contraction of its relativistic counterpart. We calculate Maurer-Cartan one-forms, examine various choices of the relevant coset spaces and consider the geometric inverse Higgs-type constraints which reduce the number of the independent coset parameters and, in some cases, provide dynamical equations. New Galilean conformally invariant actions are derived in arbitrary space-time dimension D=d+1 (no central charges), as well as in the special dimension D=2+1 with one "exotic" central charge. We obtain new classical mechanics models which extend the standard (D=0+1) conformal mechanics in the presence of d non-vanishing space dimensions.

Investigation of the effects of root-lesion nematode on early growth of three apple rootstocks in microplots and its relationship with growth of mature ‘ambrosia/m.9’ trees across six commercial orchards
Creators: name: King, Lindsay
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: The root-lesion nematode, Pratylenchus penetrans, is a ubiquitous parasite of roots of temperate fruit trees. It affects early growth of trees replanted into old orchard sites where populations have built up, and may contribute to decline complexes of older trees. Most British Columbia, Canada apple acreage is planted with M.9 rootstock, but growers are increasingly considering updated Geneva-series rootstocks such as G.41 and G.935. Among these rootstocks, responses to P. penetrans, specifically, are poorly known. To compare the resistance and tolerance to P. penetrans of G.41, G.935 and M.9 rootstocks (‘Ambrosia’ scion), a field microplot experiment was established in spring of 2020 at the Summerland Research and Development Centre. The experimental design was a 2 x 3 factorial combination of: P. penetrans inoculation (+/-) and rootstock (G.41, G.935, M.9), with 20 replicate microplots of each of the six treatment combinations arranged in a randomized complete block design. The P. penetrans inoculum was 5400 P. penetrans per microplot or 54 L⁻¹ soil. In the establishment year (2020), P. penetrans caused significant reductions in aboveground growth. In 2021, shoot growth, root length and root surface area were reduced by P. penetrans. The nematode also reduced rates of photosynthesis, stomatal conductance and transpiration and increased stem water potential. In both years, the effects of P. penetrans were similar among rootstocks. These data suggest that while G.41 and G.935 may have other benefits over M.9, they are equally susceptible to P. penetrans. A multi-site field study was conducted from 2018 to 2021 to determine if Pratylenchus spp. population densities are significant determinants of site-to-site variation in growth and physiology of mature Ambrosia/M.9 trees, relative to other environmental variables. Across the six sites in the study, stepwise multiple regression selected Pratylenchus spp. population densities as significant predictors of photosynthesis along with soil water content, temperature and texture, and air temperature. Pratylenchus spp. levels were not related to transpiration rates or trunk cross-sectional area. Overall results suggest that P. penetrans alone has growth depressing effects on Ambrosia apple trees across the three assessed rootstocks; however, more work is needed to determine if these findings apply to mature trees.

description: It is typically assumed, without justification, that a weak coupling between a system and a bath is a necessary condition for the equivalence of a canonical ensemble and a microcanonical ensemble. For instance, in a canonical ensemble, temperature emerges if the system and the bath are uncoupled or weakly coupled. We investigate the validity region of this weak coupling approximation, using a coupled composite-spin system. Our results show that the spin coupling strength can be as large as the level spacing of the system, indicating that the weak coupling approximation has a much wider region of validity than usually expected.

Transport phenomena in radioisotope beam production targets
Creators: name: Egoriti, Luca
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: This thesis reports on the development of techniques to better investigate elemental transport phenomena in accelerator-based targets for RIB production through the ISOL method. This development has been carried out at TRIUMF, Canada's particle accelerator centre and home to ISAC-TRIUMF, a leading RIB facility where constant development is key to enable cutting-edge experiments performed in user facilities where the radioactive beams are delivered. Elemental diffusion and effusion in ISOL targets are frequently the major bottleneck for delivering RIBs with desired properties; this thesis focuses on developing systems to improve our understanding of their basic release phenomena, as well as enhance target performance. A major component of this thesis comprises the conceptualization, design, testing and irradiation of a spallation-driven two-step target for isotope production. Unlike every target irradiated for the past 25 years at ISAC, where protons induce nuclear reactions by directly impinging on a target material, this prototype produces spallation neutrons which subsequently induce fission in an annular uranium carbide target, and the reaction products are then extracted as a RIB. Besides unlocking new science with radioisotope beams having previously unavailable characteristics, this methodology brings several advantages for studying transport mechanisms at high-temperatures and in mixed particle fields. Such new features and capabilities provide a new parameter space for better understanding transport phenomena in harsh environments. Additionally, this thesis reports on radiotracer experiments performed on table-top systems and using activated materials, to systematically study the high-temperature diffusion and effusion phenomena in exotic materials and complex geometries. First studies were conducted to characterize the release performance of ISOL target samples, so that the most suited material could be irradiated in the ISAC station. Moreover, the first experimental investigations of the effusion phenomenon in ISOL targets are reported, which provide a better understanding of its principles and offers further ground for access to fundamental transport properties in these materials. Such approaches build on previous established work and extend it further to shed more light through systematic investigations. In turn, this will enable new target development activities based on experimental data and dependable models for predicting isotope transport and release.

description:
CO2 storage potential in sandstone formations in the German North Sea is investigated by GEOSTOR consortium. This contribution discusses some of the results from the investigation of the geotechnical impact of the storage process. We examine the injection pressure window with respect to the hydro-fractural risk of the reservoir layer or caprock in the vicinity of the injection well by performing coupled hydro-mechanical fracture analyses. Different modelling scales, formulations, failure parameters, and in-situ present day stresses are considered. The results show that 2D- or thin 3D-models may underestimate the material integrity and lead to early fracture initiation. Meanwhile, a medium-scale model of the geoformation may be advantageous in reducing computational burden while maintaining high accuracy. The results also show a good correlation with field-derived fracture gradients and formation strength tests data from the Dutch-German border.

To assess the geotechnical risk of induced seismicity on the offshore infrastructure, we enhanced our boundary element-finite element method dynamic simulator with the formulation to compute arbitrary layered half-space and double-couple dynamic sources. Verification of the numerical method shows an excellent agreement with the analytical solution. The hybrid method is able to take into account the spatially complex geometry of the geological structure. The results show that the impact of the storage process on the formations’ mechanical integrity or offshore infrastructure remains relatively low or manageable for the considered period.
On the universality of knot probability ratios

description: Let $p_n$ denote the number of self-avoiding polygons of length $n$ on a regular three-dimensional lattice, and let $p_n(K)$ be the number which have knot type $K$. The probability that a random polygon of length $n$ has knot type $K$ is $p_n(K)/p_n$ and is known to decay exponentially with length. Little is known rigorously about the asymptotics of $p_n(K)$, but there is substantial numerical evidence that $p_n(K)$ grows as $p_n(K) \simeq \, C_K \, μ_\emptyset^n \, n^{α-3+N_K}$, as $n \to \infty$, where $N_K$ is the number of prime components of the knot type $K$. It is believed that the entropic exponent, $α$, is universal, while the exponential growth rate, $μ_\emptyset$, is independent of the knot type but varies with the lattice. The amplitude, $C_K$, depends on both the lattice and the knot type. The above asymptotic form implies that the relative probability of a random polygon of length $n$ having prime knot type $K$ over prime knot type $L$ is $\frac{p_n(K)/p_n}{p_n(L)/p_n} = \frac{p_n(K)}{p_n(L)} \simeq [ \frac{C_K}{C_L} ]$. In the thermodynamic limit this probability ratio becomes an amplitude ratio; it should be universal and depend only on the knot types $K$ and $L$. In this letter we examine the universality of these probability ratios for polygons in the simple cubic, face-centered cubic, and body-centered cubic lattices. Our results support the hypothesis that these are universal quantities. For example, we estimate that a long random polygon is approximately 28 times more likely to be a trefoil than be a figure-eight, independent of the underlying lattice, giving an estimate of the intrinsic entropy associated with knot types in closed curves.

description: Machine learning models are vulnerable to membership inference attacks in which an adversary aims to predict whether or not a particular sample was contained in the target model’s training dataset. Existing attack methods have commonly exploited the output information (mostly, losses) solely from the given target model. As a result, in practical scenarios where both the member and nonmember samples yield similarly small losses, these methods are naturally unable to differentiate between them. To address this limitation, in this paper, we propose a new attack method, called TrajectoryMIA, which can exploit the membership information from the whole training process of the target model for improving the attack performance. To mount the attack in the common blackbox setting, we leverage knowledge distillation, and represent the membership information by the losses evaluated on a sequence of intermediate models at different distillation epochs, namely distilled loss trajectory, together with the loss from the given target model. Experimental results over different datasets and model architectures demonstrate the great advantage of our attack in terms of different metrics. For example, on CINIC-10, our attack achieves at least 6× higher true-positive rate at a low false-positive rate of 0.1% than existing methods. Further analysis demonstrates the general effectiveness of our attack in more strict scenarios.

description: We report the discovery of a faint L6 \pm 1 companion to the previously known M9 dwarf, 2MASS J01303563-4445411, based on our near-infrared imaging and spectroscopic observations with the 3m Infrared Telescope Facility SpeX imager/spectrometer. The visual binary is separated by 3. 28 \pm 0. 05 on the sky at a spectrophotometric distance of 40 \pm 14 pc. The projected physical separation is 130 \pm 50 AU, making it one of the widest VLM field multiples containing a brown dwarf companion. 2MASS J0130-4445 is only one of ten wide VLM pairs and only one of six in the field. The secondary is considerably fainter (ΔK ~ 2.35 mag) and redder (Δ (J - Ks) ~ 0.81 dex), consistent with component near-infrared types of M9.0 \pm 0.5 and L6 \pm 1 based on our resolved spectroscopy. The component types suggest a secondary mass well within the hydrogen-burning limit and an age-dependent mass ratio of 0.6-0.9. The system's space motion and spectroscopic indicators suggest an age of 2-4 Gyr while the model-dependent masses and binding energies suggest that this system is unlikely to have formed via dynamical ejection. The age, composition, and separation of the 2MASS J01303563-4445411 system make it useful for tests of VLM formation theories and of condensate cloud formation in L dwarfs.

HIV-1 integrase strand transfer inhibitor resistance to dolutegravir, bictegravir and cabotegravir

description: Antiretroviral drugs are basis of the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections. Combined antiretroviral therapy (ART) uses a combination of three antiretroviral drugs to inhibit viral replication and to prevent disease progression and has become a global standard for HIV treatment. Integrase strand transfer inhibitors (INSTIs) are the most recent class of antiretroviral drugs to reach the market. INSTIs function by inhibiting the 3’-processing ability of HIV integrase and preventing the incorporation of the HIV genome into the host’s deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). The use of raltegravir (RAL), elvitegravir (EVG) and dolutegravir (DTG) in clinical settings has increased since their approval, however there is a risk that the development of drug resistance would impact the treatment of the individual as well as the general population in the event of transmitted drug resistance. New integrase inhibitors, bictegravir (BIC) and cabotegravir (CAB), has been recently approve and has reached late phases of development, respectively. Due to the novelty of INSTIs, less is known about INSTI resistance than other drug classes that pre-date INSTIs. The main objectives discussed in this thesis are 1) the direct comparison of the effect of DTG, BIC and CAB on viruses harbouring known major INSTI mutations and 2) the development of a panel of patient-derived recombinant viruses with INSTI resistance with matched genotypes and phenotypes and the assessment of resistance to new INSTIs using recombinant viruses from the database. The resistance profiles of a set of patient-derived recombinant viruses harbouring the major mutations G140S/Q148H on its own and in combination with additional amino acid substitutions was determined for DTG, BIC and CAB. As a follow-up, a larger panel of recombinant viruses with unique permutations of amino acid substitutions in the integrase gene were generated using a limiting dilution PCR procedure. The resulting panel was assessed for INSTI resistance using a phenotypic assay in order to populate a database of matched genotype-phenotype data. High levels of resistance to the new INSTIs, BIC and CAB, were detected and BIC and CAB resistance was found to be highly correlated with DTG resistance, highlighting the similarity between the new and current INSTIs.

description: We investigate the distribution of the gas (ionized, neutral atomic and molecular), and interstellar dust in the complex star forming region NGC6357 with the goal of studying the interplay between the massive stars in the open cluster Pis24 and the surrounding interstellar matter. Our study of the distribution of the ionized gas is based on narrow-band Hhalfa, [SII], and [OIII] images obtained with the Curtis-Schmidt Camera at CTIO, Chile, and on radio continuum observations at 1465 MHz taken with the VLA with a synthesized beam of 40 arcsec. The distribution of the molecular gas is analyzed using 12CO(1-0) data obtained with the Nanten radiotelescope, Chile (angular resolution = 2.7 arcmin). The interstellar dust distribution was studied using mid-infrared data from the GLIMPSE survey and far-infrared observations from IRAS. NGC6357 consists of a large ionized shell and a number of smaller optical nebulosities. The optical, radio continuum, and near- and mid-IR images delineate the distributions of the ionized gas and interstellar dust in the HII regions and in previously unknown wind blown bubbles linked to the massive stars in Pis24 revealing surrounding photodissociation regions. The CO line observations allowed us to identify the molecular counterparts of the ionized structures in the complex and to confirm the presence of photodissociation regions. The action of the WR star HD157504 on the surrounding gas was also investigated. The molecular mass in the complex is estimated to be (4+/-2)X10^5 Mo. Mean electron densities derived from the radio data suggest electron densities > 200 cm^-3, indicating that NGC6357 is a complex formed in a region of high ambient density. The known massive stars in Pis24 and a number of newly inferred massive stars are mainly responsible for the excitation and photodissociation of the parental molecular cloud.
