description: The market demands that software systems be adaptable to changes in requirements. Software must be evolvable to solve slightly different problems over time. The transition from real-world requirements to software is a human-intensive and potentially complex process that provides limited automated support for the analysis of alternative designs with respect to their evolvability. In this paper, we propose an analytical software design approach to localize changes to control flow requirements. We present an analytical and “heuristically good” design approach to generate control components that localize change and reduce the computational complexity of an optimal approach. We apply our heuristic to an example and summarize the results. Lastly, we propose future research and summarize our ideas.
Charge form factors and nucleon shape

description: To obtain further information on the geometric shape of the nucleon, the proton charge form factor is decomposed into two terms, which are connected respectively with a spherically symmetric and an intrinsic quadrupole part of the proton's charge density. Quark model relations are employed to derive expressions for both terms. In particular, the proton's intrinsic quadrupole form factor is obtained from a relation between the N -> Delta and neutron charge form factors. The proposed decomposition shows that the neutron charge form factor is an observable manifestation of an intrinsic quadrupole form factor of the nucleon. Furthermore, it affords an interpretation of recent electron-nucleon scattering data in terms of a nonspherical distribution of quark-antiquark pairs in the nucleon.

description: Recent advances in the physical vapor deposition (PVD) of protective fluoride films have raised the far-ultraviolet (FUV: 912-1600 Å) reflectivity of aluminum-based mirrors closer to the theoretical limit. The greatest gains, at more than 20%, have come for lithium fluoride-protected aluminum, which has the shortest wavelength cutoff of any conventional overcoat. Despite the success of the NASA FUSE mission, the use of lithium fluoride (LiF)-based optics is rare, as LiF is hygroscopic and requires handling procedures that can drive risk. With NASA now studying two large mission concepts for astronomy, Large UV-Optical-IR Surveyor (LUVOIR) and the Habitable Exoplanet Imaging Mission (HabEx), which mandate throughput down to 1000 Å, the development of LiF-based coatings becomes crucial. This paper discusses steps that are being taken to qualify these new enhanced LiF-protected aluminum (eLiF) mirror coatings for flight. In addition to quantifying the hygroscopic degradation, we have developed a new method of protecting eLiF with an ultrathin (10-20 Å) capping layer of a non-hygroscopic material to increase durability. We report on the performance of eLiF-based optics and assess the steps that need to be taken to qualify such coatings for LUVOIR, HabEx, and other FUV-sensitive space missions.

description: Rigorous engineering of safety-critical Cyber- Physical Systems (CPS) requires integration of heterogeneous modeling methods from different disciplines. It is often necessary to view this integration from the perspective of analyses – algorithms that read and change models. Although analytic integration supports formal contract-based verification of model evolution, it suffers from the limitation of analytic dependency loops. Dependency loops between analyses cannot be resolved based on the existing contract-based verification. This paper makes a step towards using rich architectural description to resolve circular analytic dependencies. We characterize the dependency loop problem and discuss three algorithmic approaches to resolving such loops: analysis iteration, constraint solving, and genetic search. These approaches take advantage of information in multi-view architectures to resolve analytic dependency loops
Development of Autophagy Modulators to Identify Novel Strategies to Treat Cancer and Neurodegeneration
Creators: name: Petros, Zoe A
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2024

description: Autophagy is a catabolic process that helps maintain cellular homeostasis by degrading cellular contents via lysosome(s) and has been implicated in a variety of diseases, including inflammatory diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, and cancer. As a result, modulation of this pathway has emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy to treat various human diseases. Our work is centered around the identification of small-molecule autophagy modulators using both target-based and phenotype-based high-throughput screening methods. Current FDA-approved agents that inhibit autophagy include chloroquine (CQ) and hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) which inhibit autophagy at a late stage and lack specificity for the autophagy pathway, resulting in a variety of off-target effects. Our target-based approaches have aimed at identifying and synthetically optimizing selective autophagy inhibitors of the ATG5-ATG16L1-N interaction to assess their potential as a cancer therapeutic strategy. Currently there are few treatments available for Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) and Niemann-Pick Disease (NPC) and treatments for these diseases at the clinical level lack efficacy. Through our phenotypic screening efforts, our lab has focused on the discovery of small-molecule autophagy modulators to study the role of this pathway in AD and NPC. Phenotypic screening is agnostic to targets; therefore, the use of phenotypic methods to discover autophagy modulators requires subsequent target identification and validation experiments. Our efforts in developing new autophagy modulators and identifying their targets have allowed for the exploration of alternative therapeutic approaches for AD and NPC.

description: Der Klimawandel schreitet voran und die Folgen werden immer stärker sichtbar. Insbesondere in Städten besteht Handlungsbedarf, um mit den zunehmenden Wetterextremen wie Hitze, Trockenheit, Starkregen und Hochwasser umzugehen. Bei der Umsetzung von Klimaanpassungsmaßnahmen auf lokaler Ebene nehmen die Kommunen eine Schlüsselrolle ein. Im Rahmen ihrer Planungshoheit können sie Einfluss auf die räumliche Entwicklung und städtebauliche Ordnung in den Städten nehmen. Der Beitrag beschäftigt sich mit der Klima- anpassung in der Stadtplanung, den planungs- und fachrechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen und beleuchtet die Bedeutung der Planungsinstrumente bei der Umsetzung von Anpassungsmaßnahmen. Climate adaptation as a task of urban planning: Climate change is progressing and the consequences are becoming increasingly visible. Especially in cities, there is a need for action to deal with the increasing extreme weather like heat, drought, heavy rain and flooding. Local authorities play a key role in implementing climate adaptation measures at local level. Within the framework of their planning authority, they can influence the spatial development and urban planning order in the cities. The article deals with climate adaptation in urban planning, the planning and technical framework conditions and sheds light on the importance of planning instruments in the implementation of adaptation measures.

description: A CMOS harmonic signal LC oscillator driver for automotive applications working in a harsh environment with high safety critical requirements is described. The driver can be used with a wide range of external components parameters (LC resonance network of a sensor). Quality factor of the external LC network can vary two decades. Amplitude regulation of the driver is digitally controlled and the DAC is constructed as exponential with piece-wise-linear (PWL) approximation. Low current consumption for high quality resonance networks is achieved. Realized oscillator is robust, used in safety critical application and has low EMC emissions.

description: We have used multi-band high resolution HST WFPC2 and ACS observations combined with wide field ground-based observations to study the blue straggler star (BSS) population in the galactic globular cluster NGC 6388. As in several other clusters we have studied, the BSS distribution is found to be bimodal: highly peaked in the cluster center, rapidly decreasing at intermediate radii, and rising again at larger radii. In other clusters the sparsely populated intermediate-radius region (or ``zone of avoidance'') corresponds well to that part of the cluster where dynamical friction would have caused the more massive BSS or their binary progenitors to settle to the cluster center. Instead, in NGC 6388, BSS still populate a region that should have been cleaned out by dynamical friction effects, thus suggesting that dynamical friction is somehow less efficient than expected. As by-product of these observations, the peculiar morphology of the horizontal branch (HB) is also confirmed. In particular, within the (very extended) blue portion of the HB we are able to clearly characterize three sub-populations: ordinary blue HB stars, extreme HB stars, and blue hook stars. Each of these populations has a radial distribution which is indistinguishable from normal cluster stars.

description: In this contribution, we propose a generic online (also sometimes called adaptive or recursive) version of the Expectation-Maximisation (EM) algorithm applicable to latent variable models of independent observations. Compared to the algorithm of Titterington (1984), this approach is more directly connected to the usual EM algorithm and does not rely on integration with respect to the complete data distribution. The resulting algorithm is usually simpler and is shown to achieve convergence to the stationary points of the Kullback-Leibler divergence between the marginal distribution of the observation and the model distribution at the optimal rate, i.e., that of the maximum likelihood estimator. In addition, the proposed approach is also suitable for conditional (or regression) models, as illustrated in the case of the mixture of linear regressions model.

description: We construct an exactly solvable quantum impurity model which consists of spin-1/2 conduction fermions and the spin-1/2 magnetic moment. The ground state is a Gutzwiller projected Fermi sea with non-orthonormal modes and its wave function in the site-occupation basis is a Jastrow-type homogeneous polynomial. The parent Hamiltonian has all-to-all inverse-square hopping terms between the conduction fermions and inverse-square spin-exchange terms between the conduction fermions and the magnetic moments. The low-lying energy levels, spin-spin correlation function, and von Neumann entanglement entropy of our model demonstrate that it exhibits the essential aspects of spin-1/2 Kondo physics. The machinery developed in this work can generate many other exactly solvable quantum impurity models.

description: Lima, die Hauptstadt Perus, ist eine typische Megastadt, in der die Ursachen der Wasserkrise zugleich in den natürlichen (klimatischen und demographischen) Gegebenheiten und den politisch-institutionellen Rahmenbedingungen liegen. Zuwanderung und Wirtschaftswachstum fallen mit einer nicht-nachhaltigen Nutzung von Wasser zusammen. Knapper werdende Wasserressourcen und häufiger auftretende Dürren als Folgen des Klimawandels verschärfen die Lage. Szenarien, die Klima-Projektionen mit verschiedenen gesellschaftlichen und technischen Annahmen über mögliche Wasserzukünfte kombinieren, zeigen auf, dass die zukünftige Wasserversorgung Limas stärker als vom Klimawandel selbst von Faktoren aus den Bereichen Governance, Management und Planung abhängig ist. Um die Wasserversorgung von Lima langfristig zu sichern, sind integrierte Maßnahmen-Mixe notwendig. Diese Maßnahmen müssen technische, gesellschaftliche und ökologische Aspekte gemeinsam betrachten. Ihre Umsetzung bedarf nicht nur Investitionen, sondern auch starker Leitbilder und Institutionen sowie der Kooperation aller Akteure des Wassersektors. Water scarcity in megacities – the example of Lima: Lima, the capital of Peru, is a typical megacity, in which a (potential) water crisis is caused at the same time by natural (climatic and demographic) as well as by political-institutional conditions. Migration and economic growth coincide with non-sustainable water use patterns. Climate change impacts, as increasing scarcity of water resources and more frequent droughts, exacerbate the situation. Scenarios combining climate projections with alternative societal and technical assumptions on possible water futures show that the future water supply of Lima depends more directly from factors regarding governance, management and planning – than from climate change itself. To assure the long term water supply of Lima, integrated policy-mixes are required. These policy-mixes need to jointly consider technical, societal and ecological aspects. Their realization requires not only investments, but also strong visions and institutions as well as the cooperation of all actors of the water sector.

description: Methylenimine (CH2NH) has been convincingly detected for the first time outside the Galactic center as part of a study of the hydrogenation of interstellar molecules. We have observed transitions from energy levels up to about 100 K above the ground state in the giant molecular clouds W51, Orion KL and G34.3+0.15. In addition, CH2NH was found at the "radical-ion peak" on the quiescent ridge of material in the Orion molecular cloud. The abundance ratio CH2NH/HCN at the radical-ion peak agrees with the predictions of recent gas-phase chemical models. This ratio is an order of magnitude higher in the warmer cloud cores, suggesting additional production pathways for CH2NH, probably on interstellar grains.

description: The most distant galaxies known are at z~10-11, observed 400-500 Myr after the Big Bang. The few z~10-11 candidates discovered to date have been exceptionally small- barely resolved, if at all, by the Hubble Space Telescope. Here we present the discovery of SPT0615-JD, a fortuitous z~10 (z_phot=9.9+/-0.6) galaxy candidate stretched into an arc over ~2.5" by the effects of strong gravitational lensing. Discovered in the Reionization Lensing Cluster Survey (RELICS) Hubble Treasury program and companion S-RELICS Spitzer program, this candidate has a lensed H-band magnitude of 25.7+/-0.1 AB mag. With a magnification of μ~4-7 estimated from our lens models, the de-lensed intrinsic magnitude is 27.6+/-0.3 AB mag, and the half-light radius is r_e<0.8 kpc, both consistent with other z>9 candidates. The inferred stellar mass (log [M* /M_Sun]=9.7^{+0.7}_{-0.5}) and star formation rate (\log [SFR/M_Sun yr^{-1}]=1.3^{+0.2}_{-0.3}) indicate that this candidate is a typical star-forming galaxy on the z>6 SFR-M* relation. We note that three independent lens models predict two counterimages, at least one of which should be of a similar magnitude to the arc, but these counterimages are not yet detected. Counterimages would not be expected if the arc were at lower redshift. However, the only spectral energy distributions capable of fitting the Hubble and Spitzer photometry well at lower redshifts require unphysical combinations of z~2 galaxy properties. The unprecedented lensed size of this z~10 candidate offers the potential for the James Webb Space Telescope to study the geometric and kinematic properties of a galaxy observed 500 Myr after the Big Bang.

description: We present a system for the boresighting of sensors using inertial measurement devices as the basis for developing a range of dynamic real-time sensor fusion applications. The proof of concept utilizes a COTS FPGA platform for sensor fusion and real-time correction of a misaligned video sensor. We exploit a custom-designed 32-bit soft processor core and C-based design & synthesis for rapid, platform-neutral development. Kalman filter and sensor fusion techniques established in advanced aviation systems are applied to automotive vehicles with results exceeding typical industry requirements for sensor alignment. Results of the static and the dynamic tests demonstrate that using inexpensive accelerometers mounted on (or during assembly of) a sensor and an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) fixed to a vehicle can be used to compute the misalignment of the sensor to the IMU and thus vehicle. In some cases the model predications and test results exceeded the requirements by an order of magnitude with a 3-sigma or 99% confidence.

description: CONTEXT: There has been a rapid growth in the use of data analytics to underpin evidence-based software engineering. However the combination of complex techniques, diverse reporting standards and poorly understood underlying phenomena are causing some concern as to the reliability of studies. OBJECTIVE: Our goal is to provide guidance for producers and consumers of software analytics studies (computational experiments and correlation studies). METHOD: We propose using "bad smells", i.e., surface indications of deeper problems and popular in the agile software community and consider how they may be manifest in software analytics studies. RESULTS: We list 12 "bad smells" in software analytics papers (and show their impact by examples). CONCLUSIONS: We believe the metaphor of bad smell is a useful device. Therefore we encourage more debate on what contributes to the validty of software analytics studies (so we expect our list will mature over time).

Analysis of the Train Communication Network Protocol Error Detection Capabilities

description: The Train Communication Network (TCN) has been adopted as an international standard for use in critical transportation applications on trains. This paper discusses the results of a general review of the specification for error detection properties as an important factor of overall system safety. In general, TCN has excellent error detection properties and is much more thoroughly specified in this regard than other embedded network protocols. The only significant recommendation for improvement is prohibiting the use of variable- or multiple-length frames for any particular frame ID value to guard against corruptions that can cause undetected changes in message lengths (current implementations use only single lengths, but this is not specifically required by the standard). Additionally, it is important that designers pay close attention to receiver circuitry to minimize vulnerability to “bit slips” that could cause phase shifting and resultant burst errors in received Manchester-encoded bit streams.

description: In this paper a general architecture suitable to interface several kinds of sensors for automotive applications is presented.

The latter is based on a microcontroller core (8051 IP by Oregano) plus a set of dedicated hardware dedicated to the complex signal processing required for sensor conditioning. The microcontroller handles also the communication with external devices (as a PC) for data output and fast prototyping. A case study is presented concerning the conditioning of a Gyro yaw rate sensor for automotive applications. Measured performance results outperform current state-of-the-art commercial devices.

description: We prove that the dimension of every poset whose comparability graph has maximum degree $Δ$ is at most $Δ\log^{1+o(1)} Δ$. This result improves on a 30-year old bound of Füredi and Kahn, and is within a $\log^{o(1)}Δ$ factor of optimal. We prove this result via the notion of boxicity. The "boxicity" of a graph $G$ is the minimum integer $d$ such that $G$ is the intersection graph of $d$-dimensional axis-aligned boxes. We prove that every graph with maximum degree $Δ$ has boxicity at most $Δ\log^{1+o(1)} Δ$, which is also within a $\log^{o(1)}Δ$ factor of optimal. We also show that the maximum boxicity of graphs with Euler genus $g$ is $Θ(\sqrt{g \log g})$, which solves an open problem of Esperet and Joret and is tight up to a $O(1)$ factor.

description: Presented are a methodology and a DFII-based tool for AC-stability analysis of a wide variety of closed-loop continuous-time (operational amplifiers and other linear circuits). The methodology used allows for easy identification and diagnostics of ac-stability problems including not only main-loop effects but also local-instability loops in current mirrors, bias circuits and emitter or source followers without breaking the loop. The results of the analysis are easy to interpret. Estimated phase margin is readily available. Instability nodes and loops along with their respective oscillation frequencies are immediately identified and mapped to the existing circuit nodes thus offering significant advantages compared to traditional "black-box" methods of stability analysis (Transient Overshoot, Bode and Phase margin plots etc.). The tool for AC-Stability analysis is written in SKILL? and is fully integrated in DFII? environment. Its "push-button" graphical user interface (GUI) is easy to use and understand. The tool can be invoked directly from Composer? schematic and does not require active Analog Artist? session. The tool is not dependent on the use of a specific fabrication technology or Process Design Kit customization. It requires OCEAN?, Spectre? and Waveform calculator capabilities to run.

The theory is (2,2) supersymmetric, and possesses an on-shell SO(5,5) duality symmetry which plays a key role in determining its couplings. The field content includes 16 vector fields that carry a chiral spinor representation of the duality group. We utilize the embedding tensor method which determines the appropriate combinations of these vectors that participate in gauging of a suitable subgroup of SO(5,5). The construction also introduces the magnetic duals of the 5 two-form potentials and 16 vector fields.

Analysis of Restraints to Translational and Rotational Motion from the Geometry of Contact

description: The automatic generation of high-level assembly plans from geometric models makes extensive use of restraints imposed by components on one another. The geometry of contact can be used to find the nature of these restraints. In this paper, we present a method to determine restraints to translational and rotational motion of planar as well as 3-D objects. A set of parameters that represent any possible translational/rotational motion is identified. A geometric representation of the space of motion parameters (M a) is created. Restraints due to individual mating surface elements are computed by identifying subspaces in M a which represent motion parameters that are ‘disallowed’ due to the contact. These are then superposed to generate the required solution. Restraints that are redundant are easily identified and are not computed. Information about restraints is used extensively in assembly planning - to determine degrees-of-freedom of components and subassemblies, to analyze the stability of subassemblies, to plan proper grasps, etc. We believe that the proposed representation can be used effectively in making these evaluations, taking us closer to generating correct assembly plans.

description: Learning an individualized dose rule in personalized medicine is a challenging statistical problem. Existing methods often suffer from the curse of dimensionality, especially when the decision function is estimated nonparametrically. To tackle this problem, we propose a dimension reduction framework that effectively reduces the estimation to a lower-dimensional subspace of the covariates. We exploit that the individualized dose rule can be defined in a subspace spanned by a few linear combinations of the covariates, leading to a more parsimonious model. The proposed framework does not require the inverse probability of the propensity score under observational studies due to a direct maximization of the value function. This distinguishes us from the outcome weighted learning framework, which also solves decision rules directly. Under the same framework, we further propose a pseudo-direct learning approach that focuses more on estimating the dimensionality-reduced subspace of the treatment outcome. Parameters in both approaches can be estimated efficiently using an orthogonality constrained optimization algorithm on the Stiefel manifold. Under mild regularity assumptions, the results on the asymptotic normality of the proposed estimators are established, respectively. We also derive the consistency and convergence rate for the value function under the estimated optimal dose rule. We evaluate the performance of the proposed approaches through extensive simulation studies and a warfarin pharmacogenetic dataset.

description: Gewässer prägen die Landschaft und gestalten auch das Bild unserer Städte und Gemeinden. Im urbanen Raum müssen Fließgewässer unterschiedliche Funktionen erfüllen. Diese Funktionen, so zeigt die Geschichte, unterliegen einem historischen Wandel, der von der Beziehung Mensch-Wasser geprägt ist. Obgleich die Gewässer mit der EU-Wasserrahmenrichtlinie zunehmend in den Fokus gerückt sind, ist die überwiegende Zahl der Gewässer in keinem guten Zustand. Der Klimawandel und die Urbanisierung wirken als zusätzliche Stressoren, welche die Funktionalität gefährden. Gleichwohl kann festgestellt werden, dass sich die Gewässer zunehmender Beliebtheit im Stadtbild erfreuen, gleichzeitig kommt es zur schleichenden Aufgabe öffentlichen Raums zugunsten privaten Eigentums. The City and the Country - Urban Waters in Transition: Waters shape the landscape as well as the image of our cities and communities. In urban areas, watercourses have to fulfill different functions, which are subject to historical change marked by the relationship between man and water. Although the waters under the EU Water Framework Directive have increasingly come into focus, the majority of the waters are not in good shape. Climate change and urbanization act as additional stressors that endanger the rivers’ functionality. Nevertheless, the waters have enjoyed increasing popularity in the cityscape, even as the public space is being gradually abandoned in favor of private property.

Algebra of transfer-matrices and Yang-Baxter equations on the string worldsheet in AdS(5) x S(5)

description: Integrability of the string worldsheet theory in AdS(5) x S(5) is related to the existence of a flat connection depending on the spectral parameter. The transfer matrix is the open-ended Wilson line of this flat connection. We study the product of transfer matrices in the near-flat space expansion of the AdS(5) x S(5) string theory in the pure spinor formalism. The natural operations on Wilson lines with insertions are described in terms of r- and s-matrices satisfying a generalized classical Yang-Baxter equation. The formalism is especially transparent for infinite or closed Wilson lines with simple gauge invariant insertions.

Color transparency and short-range correlations in exclusive pion photo- and electroproduction from nuclei

description: A relativistic and quantum mechanical framework to compute nuclear transparencies for pion photo- and electroproduction reactions is presented. Final-state interactions for the ejected pions and nucleons are implemented in a relativistic eikonal approach. At sufficiently large ejectile energies, a relativistic Glauber model can be adopted. At lower energies, the framework possesses the flexibility to use relativistic optical potentials. The proposed model can account for the color-transparency (CT) phenomenon and short-range correlations (SRC) in the nucleus. Results are presented for kinematics corresponding to completed and planned experiments at Jefferson Lab. The influence of CT and SRC on the nuclear transparency is studied. Both the SRC and CT mechanisms increase the nuclear transparency. The two mechanisms can be clearly separated, though, as they exhibit a completely different dependence on the hard scale parameter. The nucleon and pion transparencies as computed in the relativistic Glauber approach are compared with optical-potential and semi-classical calculations. The similarities in the trends and magnitudes of the nuclear transparencies indicate that they are not subject to strong model dependencies.

description: Großstädte in Mitteleuropa sind aufgrund ihrer Lebensraumvielfalt in der Regel artenreicher als vergleich- bare Gebiete im ländlichen Raum. Flora und Fauna unterliegen ganz besonders in den Städten einer ständigen Veränderung: Arten verschwinden, andere kommen hinzu. Die Einwanderung oder Einschleppung von neuen Arten geschieht meist durch die Tätigkeit des Menschen bzw. wird erst durch diese ermöglicht. In Städten wie Frankfurt besteht ein erheblicher Teil der Pflanzenarten aus solchen „Neubürgern“. Viele eingewanderte oder eingeschleppte Pflanzen- und besonders Insektenarten stammen aus wärmeren Regionen. Trotz der neu eingewanderten Arten hat die Gesamtartenzahl in den letzten 200 Jahren abgenommen. Bei den in Frankfurt erloschenen Pflanzen lässt sich kein eindeutiger Bezug zur Erwärmung herstellen, entscheidend dafür waren bisher die unmittelbaren Eingriffe des Menschen, insbesondere Veränderungen in der Landnutzung. Changes in the Flora and Fauna of the City Frankfurt/Main in the last 200 years: Due to their diversity of biotopes, large cities in Central Europe usually house a higher species diversity than rural areas of comparable size. Flora and fauna are highly dynamic, with species disappearing or being introduced continuously. Appearance of new species in an area is in almost all of the cases due to the impact of man. In cities like Frankfurt/Main, a substantial part of the plant species growing outside cultivation is formed by these introduced or alien species. Many alien plant or animal species, especially insects, originate from regions with a warmer climate. In spite of many introduced species, the total plant species diversity has substantially decreased in the last 200 years in Frankfurt. Considering the plants, that have disappeared in Frankfurt in the last centuries, there is no case that can unequivocally be attributed to warmer climate. The basic causes are changes in agriculture and forestry.

description: Carbon monoxide (CO) provides crucial information about the molecular gas properties of galaxies. While $^{12}$CO has been targeted extensively, isotopologues such as $^{13}$CO have the advantage of being less optically thick and observations have recently become accessible across full galaxy discs. We present a comprehensive new dataset of $^{13}$CO(1-0) observations with the IRAM 30-m telescope of the full discs of 9 nearby spiral galaxies from the EMPIRE survey at a spatial resolution of $\sim$1.5kpc. $^{13}$CO(1-0) is mapped out to $0.7-1r_{25}$ and detected at high signal-to-noise throughout our maps. We analyse the $^{12}$CO(1-0)-to-$^{13}$CO(1-0) ratio ($\Re$) as a function of galactocentric radius and other parameters such as the $^{12}$CO(2-1)-to-$^{12}$CO(1-0) intensity ratio, the 70-to-160$μ$m flux density ratio, the star-formation rate surface density, the star-formation efficiency, and the CO-to-H$_2$ conversion factor. We find that $\Re$ varies by a factor of 2 at most within and amongst galaxies, with a median value of 11 and larger variations in the galaxy centres than in the discs. We argue that optical depth effects, most likely due to changes in the mixture of diffuse/dense gas, are favored explanations for the observed $\Re$ variations, while abundance changes may also be at play. We calculate a spatially-resolved $^{13}$CO(1-0)-to-H$_2$ conversion factor and find an average value of $1.0\times10^{21}$ cm$^{-2}$ (K.km/s)$^{-1}$ over our sample with a standard deviation of a factor of 2. We find that $^{13}$CO(1-0) does not appear to be a good predictor of the bulk molecular gas mass in normal galaxy discs due to the presence of a large diffuse phase, but it may be a better tracer of the mass than $^{12}$CO(1-0) in the galaxy centres where the fraction of dense gas is larger.
