description: Figure S1. In late pregnancy (A) and the equivalent time in the estrous cycle (D), the uterus becomes highly folded with few endometrial glands within these folds. In post-attachment pregnancy the endometrial glands are open, and glandular epithelial cells appear secretory in form (B), while in the equivalent stage of the estrous cycle, the glands are shrunken, compact, and glandular epithelial cells have shrunk in size (E). Towards the end of pregnancy the sub-epithelial stromal cell population is displaced and replaced by a network of sub-epithelial capillaries (C), however, in the estrous cycle, this epithelial cell population remains compact (F) which may prevent the formation of the sub-epithelial capillary network.; Figure S2.(A) Significantly over-represented gene ontology terms from the list of significantly down-regulated genes in estrous cycle (13 dpe) compared to non-reproductive uterus.

description: Since its first appearance, the jewel is not a mere expression of vanity and seduction, but it is associated with the decorative function with a multitude of meanings that transform it to all effects into a complex and fascinating communication code [1]. The jewel is a perfect combination of nature, technique and individual creativity that interprets the collective sensibility in the various eras. If we then join up it to its being made of precious metals, it becomes the most advantageous and profitable object of forgery [2]. The fakes and counterfeiters began at much the same time and flourished ever since. Most of the early productions are not very convincing, either stylistically or technically, this was due to a general lack of detailed stylistic information and an almost total ignorance of ancient technology. Until the middle of the last century there was no real science applied to the study of cultural heritage and the falsification or counterfeiting could be unmasked only by stylistic errors or anachronistic details detectable by visual observation although with the help of optical microscopes. With the establishment of Archaeometry, each diagnostic application became a real scientific research [3]. In the present work, the chemical and physical studies on ancient goldsmith’s art in the last forty years, highlight the peculiarity of the manufacturing technique and the scientific knowledge of the artisan, which allows not only to discover modern copies, falsifications or counterfeits, but also to unveil the modern experimental approaches implemented for a faithful reproduction of an ancient jewel.

Inhibition stabilized network model in the primary visual cortex

Year: 2012

subject: FOS: Clinical medicine

description: In this paper, we studied neural networks of both excitatory and inhibitory populations with inhibition stabilized network (ISN) models. In ISN models, the recurrent excitatory connections are so strong that the excitatory sub-network is unstable if the inhibitory firing rate is fixed; however, the entire network is stable due to inhibitory connections. In such networks, external input to inhibitory neurons reduced their responses due to the withdrawal of network excitation (Tsodyks et al., 1997). This paradoxical effect of the ISN was observed in recent surround suppression experiments in the primary visual cortex with direct membrane conductance measurements (Ozeki et al., 2009). In our work, we used a linearized rate model of both excitatory and inhibitory populations with weight matrices dependent on the locations of the neurons. We applied this model to study surround suppression effects and searched for networks with appropriated parameters. The same model was also applied in the study of spontaneous activities in awake ferrets. Both studies led to network solutions in the ISN regime, suggesting that ISN mechanisms might play an important role in the neural circuitry in the primary visual cortex.

description: Die Bewertung des Kapazitätsverbrauchs einer Eisenbahnstrecke nach UIC-Code 406 basiert auf der Streckenbelegung, die nach der sog. Kompressionsmethode durch Zusammenschieben der Sperrzeittreppen bestimmt wird. Obwohl die Methode nach UIC-Code 406 vordergründig für europäische Bahnen entwickelt wurde, könnte sie auch eine wichtige Rolle in Nordamerika spielen, z.B. zur Ermittlung der Infrastrukturmerkmale für die in der Zukunft zu erwartende Veränderung des Verkehrs. Die Schwierigkeiten, die sich bei der Anwendung der aktuellen Ausgabe des UIC-Codes 406 ergeben können, werden an mehreren Beispielen demonstriert. Anschließend werden die Nachteile, die sich durch die Fahrplanabhängigkeit der Kompressionsmethode ergeben, diskutiert. Auf dieser Basis werden Vorschläge für die Weiterentwicklung des UIC-Codes 406 sowie für alternative Methoden erarbeitet.
description: The evaluation of the consumed railway line capacity by using UIC Code 406 is based on the route occupancy. It is analytically calculated by compressing the blocking time stairways of a timetable. Although UIC Code 406 was especially developed for European railroads, capacity evaluations might also play a very important role in North America, e.g. for conforming the infrastructure characteristics considering the changes of traffic in the future. The difficulties that may arise from using the current issue of Code 406 are shown by several examples. Afterwards, the disadvantages that are implicated by the compression method as a timetable-dependent examination to get significant and comparable results are discussed. To achieve more significant examination results, some suggestions for UIC Code 406 further development and alternative evaluation methods are presented.

description: In recent years the idea that metals, oil and, more generally, natural resources are not endless has been firmed. Furthermore, people become aware that humanity must not only increase the production of customer-goods, but they also must produce them with respect for the environment, trying to limit either dangerous processing techniques and hazardous materials. The elimination of many metals from alloys has also reduced the possibility to modify or to produce a wide range of precious jewels and new materials. For such reasons it is essential to develop new techniques for manipulation and preparation of precious jewellery products. Nowadays this economic policy drives many companies and even the single craftsmen to a cultural innovation and technological growth. Many small and medium-sized companies ask the University for a technological support, otherwise impossible to achieve alone for high costs. The basic research of University has become an important point for the development of the goldsmith sector and for the increase in production and variety of new jewels. This important collaboration between universities and industries is called “the Third Mission for the University”. This collaboration is important from a cultural, as well as from a productive point of view. Nowadays, the symbiosis “Research centre - Goldsmith company”, allows the company to expand internationally its market, thus making the whole industrial sector competitive and innovative. This union is extremely important not only for the goldsmith sector but for the entire National economy.

Gold and silver: perfection of metals in medieval and early modern alchemy
Creators: name: Abbri, Ferdinando
Publisher: name: Substantia
Year: 2019

description: For a long time alchemy has been considered a sort of intellectual and historiographical enigma, a locus classicus of the debates and controversies on the origin of modern chemistry. The present historiography of science has produced new approaches to the history of alchemy, and the alchemists’ roles have been clarified as regards the vicissitudes of Western and Eastern cultures. The paper aims at presenting a synthetic profile of the Western alchemy. The focus is on the question of the transmutation of metals, and the relationships among alchemists, chymists and artisans (goldsmiths, silversmiths) are stressed. One wants to emphasise the specificity of the history of alchemy, without any priority concern about the origins of chemistry.

description: The “Antichi Strumenti Orafi” Virtual Exhibition is a multidisciplinary project developed by The Department of History and Cultures of the University of Bologna in collaboration with the Garuti Collection’s owner, Adelmo Garuti. Garuti, a goldsmith in retirement, has been collecting tools and machineries related to his profession for years, and has placed them in Sasso Marconi (Bologna, Italy). This unique Collection shows the inside of the old goldsmiths’ workshops, giving us the opportunity to rediscover a world that has changed dramatically since the coming of Information Technology and 3D Computer Graphics in the gold working industry. This Virtual Exhibition (www.antichistrumentiorafi.it) (Fig. 1) shows the most relevant objects of the Garuti Collection and describes their functioning, so the visitor can follow each step of the precious metals working process. The objects can also speak on their own about the workshops they belonged and about their producers. That gives the visitor the opportunity to know something more about goldsmithing in Bologna - the main city represented in the Collection – and in general about this sector in Italy between the 19th and 20th century.

description: In this paper we study the formation of microbubbles upon the irradiation of an array of plasmonic Au nanoparticles with a laser in n-alkanes ($C_{n}H_{2n+2}$, with n = 5-10). Two different phases in the evolution of the bubbles can be distinguished. In the first phase, which occurs after a delay time τd of about 100 μs, an explosive microbubble, reaching a diameter in the range from 10 μm to 100 μm, is formed. The exact size of this explosive microbubble barely depends on the carbon chain length of the alkane, but only on the laser power $P_l$. With increasing laser power, the delay time prior to bubble nucleation as well as the size of the microbubble both decrease. In the second phase, which sets in right after the collapse of the explosive microbubble, a new bubble forms and starts growing due to the vaporization of the surrounding liquid, which is highly gas rich. The final bubble size in this second phase strongly depends on the alkane chain length, namely it increases with decreasing number of carbon atoms. Our results have important implications for using plasmonic heating to control chemical reactions in organic solvents.

We review experiments relevant to testing both the form of the proposed strategy and its adaptability and propose extensions of them which could test the limits of the adaptability in this simplest sensory processing system.

description: Geomorphological and palynological investigations have been undertaken of the floodplain and alluvial fill sediments of the rivers Ouse and Cuckmere, East Sussex. Results are presented from one of the sites studied, at Sharpsbridge near Newick, elucidating the nature and probable age of these deposits. It appears that valley alluviation in this area has been largely in response to anthropogenic valley side forest clearance dating back to the Mesolithic. It is of interest to note that the bulk of valley sedimentation in this part of the upper Sussex Ouse was completed by the close of the late Bronze-early Iron Age, despite later periods of forest clearance during Romano-British and Medieval times in association with the Wealden iron industry.

description: To develop a greater understanding of hyporheic zone microbial biogeochemistry, we sampled pore fluids from a piezometer array associated with the McCarran Ranch channel bar (MRCB); a partially submerged cobble island in the Truckee River, NV, USA. Flowing surface water and pumped pore fluids were characterized by prokaryotic community structure, metabolic potential, and aqueous physicochemistry. Concentrations of potential respiratory electron acceptors were highest in surface water and riverbed porewater and sequentially depleted in porewaters along the inferred flowpath (O2, then NO3−, then SO42−). Correspondingly, cultivable nitrate reducers/denitrifiers were most abundant in surface water and riverbed porewater, despite oxic conditions. Cultivable sulfate reducers were overall most abundant in surface water. Prokaryotic community reconstruction from 16S rRNA gene sequences indicates that the surface water community was less diverse than that of porewater and supports a shift in metabolic strategy, from aerobic heterotrophy in surface water (e.g., Comamonadaceae and Sporichthyaceae) to chemolithotrophy and anaerobic metabolisms (e.g., Hydrogenophaga spp., Ferribacterium spp., Methanobacterium spp.) along the hyporheic flow path. These data indicate that prokaryotic communities within the MRCB are phylogenetically and metabolically diverse and contribute to biogeochemical cycling in this common yet relatively understudied habitat.
Measured rates of copper and zinc leaching in the International Kinetic Database

description: The objective of the International Kinetic Database (IKD) is to characterize bulk reaction rates in alkaline, neutral, and acidic minesite drainage. The IKD currently contains 307 kinetic tests from around the world, and is growing. Of the 307 tests, 185 provided leaching rates for copper and zinc. Scatterplots of these rates against pre-test parameters such as solid-phase copper and acid-base accounting failed to reveal any clear relationships. Consequently, leaching rates cannot be predicted accurately from pre-test characterization of a sample. Some correlation was noted among leaching rates, sulfate (acid) production, neutralization rate, and aqueous pH. However, the strength of these correlations was too weak to allow the accurate estimation of one parameter from another. All these observations point to the importance of kinetic testing in the assessment and prediction of mine drainage, and the inability to estimate rates prior to testing.

Further Evidence for the Environmental Impact of Prehistoric Cultures in Sussex from Alluvial Fill Deposits in the Eastern Rother Valley

Publisher: name: Archaeology Data Service
Year: 2021

description: Sussex Archaeological Collections, 125, 1-9
description: The floodplain and valley fill deposits of the eastern Rother valley have been investigated by augering into the alluvium. The lithostratigraphy and biostratigraphy of the deposits are described and their palaeo-environmental significance evaluated. It appears that the inorganic component of these sediments has accumulated as a result of the impact of prehistoric cultures within the valley since at least the Neolithic period. The results demonstrate that this environmental impact was not site-specific but was widespread and at an apparently unprecedented scale. It is evident that the eastern High Weald was not therefore avoided by prehistoric man but was exploited in a manner hitherto largely unrecognized.
Non-additive fusion, Hubbard models and non-locality

description: In the framework of quantum groups and additive R-matrices, the fusion procedure allows to construct higher-dimensional solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation. These solutions lead to integrable one-dimensional spin-chain Hamiltonians. Here fusion is shown to generalize naturally to non-additive R-matrices, which therefore do not have a quantum group symmetry. This method is then applied to the generalized Hubbard models. Although the resulting integrable models are not as simple as the starting ones, the general structure is that of two spin-(s times s') sl(2) models coupled at the free-fermion point. An important issue is the probable lack of regular points which give local Hamiltonians. This problem is related to the existence of second order zeroes in the unitarity equation, and arises for the XX models of higher spins, the building blocks of the Hubbard models. A possible connection between some Lax operators L and R-matrices is noted.

Parallel cross interpolation for high-precision calculation of high-dimensional integrals

description: We propose a parallel version of the cross interpolation algorithm and apply it to calculate high-dimensional integrals motivated by Ising model in quantum physics. In contrast to mainstream approaches, such as Monte Carlo and quasi Monte Carlo, the samples calculated by our algorithm are neither random nor form a regular lattice. Instead we calculate the given function along individual dimensions (modes) and use this data to reconstruct its behaviour in the whole domain. The positions of the calculated univariate fibers are chosen adaptively for the given function. The required evaluations can be executed in parallel both along each mode (variable) and over all modes. To demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed method, we apply it to compute high-dimensional Ising susceptibility integrals, arising from asymptotic expansions for the spontaneous magnetisation in two-dimensional Ising model of ferromagnetism. We observe strong superlinear convergence of the proposed method, while the MC and qMC algorithms converge sublinearly. Using multiple precision arithmetic, we also observed exponential convergence of the proposed algorithm. Combining high-order convergence, almost perfect scalability up to hundreds of processes, and the same flexibility as MC and qMC, the proposed algorithm can be a new method of choice for problems involving high-dimensional integration, e.g. in statistics, probability, and quantum physics.
Hi-Tech waste as “Urban Mines” of precious metals: new sustainable recovery methods

description: Precious metals (PMs) are valuable components of Hi-Tech goods such as electrical and electronic equipment, catalysts, advanced materials. These relatively recent applications and the growth of their market due to the fast technological development, heavily contribute to the high rate of element consumption and Hi-Tech waste accumulation of the modern consumer society. Looking at these wastes with new eyes, encouraged by the recent world-wide regulations aimed to the sustainable waste management and raw materials preservation, we can appreciate the value contained in and turn them in secondary resources of raw materials. In this context, a sustainable approach in PMs recovery from Hi-Tech waste, built on green chemistry principles and addressed to find a ready technological transfer, is described here.

description: Dragonflies (Odonata: Anisoptera) are often used as indicators of habitat type and quality due to their varied use of aquatic and terrestrial habitats. Species differ in their preferences for lotic and lentic waters, but community changes across ecotones, or transitional zones between distinct habitats (e.g. lotic and lentic), are not well understood. We quantified dragonfly species richness, abundance, and composition along a gradient of habitat types, including streams, stream mouths (ecotones), and open waters (lakes and ponds). We tested if dragonfly assemblages in aquatic ecotones differ from adjacent stream and open water habitats, and how species respond to riparian forest cover across these habitat types. Adult dragonflies were sampled in all habitat types at four sites in southwest Ohio during the summer of 2016. Riparian canopy cover and relative densities of algal mats and emergent vegetation were recorded. We sampled 157 individuals of 12 dragonfly species and found significant differences in community composition between stream and ecotone habitats, both forming subsets of the open water community. Canopy cover explained 55% and 75% of abundance and species richness variance across habitat types, respectively, but these relationships were strongest at ecotones. Finally, the Odonata Index of Wetland Integrity (OIWI), which uses sensitivities of adult odonates to habitat disturbances to evaluate wetland conditions, showed that species composition at ecotones uniquely represents the ecological integrity of the entire wetland system. Thus, transition zones may provide an effective and more efficient alternative to rapidly assess wetland quality for conservation monitoring than sampling the entire wetland.

The result of the microsimulation is fed into a re-router, which re-routes a certain percentage of all trips. This approach makes the traffic patterns in the microsimulation much more reasonable. Further, it is shown that the method described in this paper can lead to strong oscillations in the solutions.

Solving simultaneously Dirac and Ricatti equations
Creators: name: Casahorrán, Javier
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: Mathematical Physics (math-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We analyse the behaviour of the Dirac equation in $d=1+1$ with Lorentz scalar potential. As the system is known to provide a physical realization of supersymmetric quantum mechanics, we take advantage of the factorization method in order to enlarge the restricted class of solvable problems. To be precise, it suffices to integrate a Ricatti equation to construct one-parameter families of solvable potentials. To illustrate the procedure in a simple but relevant context, we resort to a model which has proved useful in showing the phenomenon of fermion number fractionalization.

Action functionals of single scalar fields and arbitrary--weight gravitational constraints that generate a genuine Lie algebra
Creators: name: Kouletsis, Ioannis
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1996
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We discuss the issue initiated by Kuchař {\it et al}, of replacing the usual Hamiltonian constraint by alternative combinations of the gravitational constraints (scalar densities of arbitrary weight), whose Poisson brackets strongly vanish and cast the standard constraint-system for vacuum gravity into a form that generates a true Lie algebra. It is shown that any such combination---that satisfies certain reality conditions---may be derived from an action principle involving a single scalar field and a single Lagrange multiplier with a non--derivative coupling to gravity.

Reclaiming reservoirs : native species revegetation of shorelines
Creators: name: Jackson, J. Leah
name: Hennebury, Krista
name: Baker, Doug
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: B.C.Hydro operates over 40 reservoirs in its utility system. In addition to supplying electricity, many of these reservoirs provide multiple uses to the local communities such as fishing, boating, swimming and wildlife viewing. The operation of a hydroelectric dams often produces fluctuations in reservoir levels due to inequalities in daily water use and seasonal inflows. These fluctuations, or drawdowns, limit the capability of native vegetation to survive along shorelines. Without the binding effects of plant roots, fine, silty materials are easily eroded by wind and water. Recently, B.C.Hydro has experimented with the reclamation of drawdown zones using native wetland plant species. Studies began in the early 1980's in response to dust problems caused by wind erosion when reservoirs were at low water levels. The early findings indicated that local wetland species were limited in the drawdown zones largely by the inability to develop quickly enough to survive water inundation. There is often a plentiful seed supply, however, once seeds establish they cannot withstand the prolonged high water periods. B.C.Hydro has used several simple methods to encourage seedling establishment in the drawdown zones of reservoirs. A broad nurse crop of local or temporary grass mixtures can protect young seedlings from wind and water erosion while providing necessary organic matter. Experimental nurse crops have been applied using broadcast, seed drills, hydro-seeding or heli-seeding methods. In addition, planting greenhouse grown seedlings in the drawdown zones has proven effective. The seed is collected from local plant communities to take advantage of the regional species adaptations to climate and soil conditions. Collected seeds are treated and germinated in a greenhouse to increase their chance of surviving inundation when replanted in the drawdown zone. There has also been some success with planting local willow cuttings in higher elevations of the drawdown zone. Vegetated reservoir shorelines benefit the local community by decreasing water and wind erosion and increasing the quality of visual and recreation resources. The benefits to the ecosystem include an increase in habitat productivity and diversity, and greater riparian habitat for fish and wildlife use.
Quantum Backlund transformation for the integrable DST model

description: For the integrable case of the discrete self-trapping (DST) model we construct a Backlund transformation. The dual Lax matrix and the corresponding dual Backlund transformation are also found and studied. The quantum analog of the Backlund transformation (Q-operator) is constructed as the trace of a monodromy matrix with an infinite-dimensional auxiliary space. We present the Q-operator as an explicit integral operator as well as describe its action on the monomial basis. As a result we obtain a family of integral equations for multivariable polynomial eigenfunctions of the quantum integrable DST model. These eigenfunctions are special functions of the Heun class which is beyond the hypergeometric class. The found integral equations are new and they shall provide a basis for efficient analytical and numerical studies of such complicated functions.

Assessing The Factual Accuracy of Generated Text

Subjects: subject: Computation and Language (cs.CL)

description: We propose a model-based metric to estimate the factual accuracy of generated text that is complementary to typical scoring schemes like ROUGE (Recall-Oriented Understudy for Gisting Evaluation) and BLEU (Bilingual Evaluation Understudy). We introduce and release a new large-scale dataset based on Wikipedia and Wikidata to train relation classifiers and end-to-end fact extraction models. The end-to-end models are shown to be able to extract complete sets of facts from datasets with full pages of text. We then analyse multiple models that estimate factual accuracy on a Wikipedia text summarization task, and show their efficacy compared to ROUGE and other model-free variants by conducting a human evaluation study.

description: We show how minimally-coupled matter fields of arbitrary spin, when coupled to Ricci-Based Gravity theories, develop non-trivial effective interactions that can be treated perturbatively only below a characteristic high-energy scale $Λ_Q$. Our results generalize to arbitrary matter fields those recently obtained for spin 1/2 fields in \cite{Latorre:2017uve}. We then use this interactions to set bounds on the high-energy scale $Λ_Q$ that controls departures of Ricci-Based Gravity theories from General Relativity. Particularly, for Eddington-inspired Born-Infeld gravity we obtain the strong bound $ |κ|<3.5 \times 10^{-14} \text{ m}^5 \text{kg}^{-1}\text{s}^{-2} $.

description: This paper analyzes how the development of innovation districts in industrial waterfront zones affects the social vulnerabilities of working class, minority and immigrant neighborhoods towards gentrification. Research uses Sunset Park, Brooklyn as a neighborhood case study and incorporates a mixed-methodology design through archival research and qualitative interviews. This study first defines the pre-existing risks and relationship between industrial use zoning and neighborhood social vulnerabilities through archival research of neighborhood history and recent urban developments. Qualitative data is generated through interviews of neighborhood residents, community activist organizations and non-profits of Sunset Park, Brooklyn, tenants of Industry City, advocates of Innovation Districts, and urban planners to understand the potential, social impacts of innovation districts and their adaptive re-use schemes upon working class neighborhoods.
