0076 A Viennese Project in Valpovo (Croatia)
Creators: name: Horvat-Levaj, Katarina
name: Turkalj Podmanicki, Margareta
Publisher: name: RIHA Journal
Year: 2020

description: The Parish Church of the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary in Valpovo (1733–1736), exceptional both in its spatial organization and the design of its exterior, was constructed in specific circumstances in the aftermath of the liberation of Slavonia from the Ottoman occupation. The old lands of Valpovo, with the medieval fort of Morović, were, in accordance with the Habsburg politics, given as a feud to Baron Hilleprand by Charles VI. The baron initiated the construction of a monumental parish church on his estate by commissioning its design in Vienna, as evidenced by the rich archival material on Hilleprand's property housed at the State Archive in Osijek. In keeping with the provenance of its design, the church was built as a monumental structure consisting of a two-bay nave covered with domical vaults and flanked by a narrower semicircular groin-vaulted sanctuary and a facade belfry. The type represented by the church in Valpovo – single-aisled structure with two bays – was a sort of innovation by Johann Lucas von Hildebrandt, inspired by the famous church of San Fedele in Milan (1569) and often used by Hildebrandt in his own church projects built under the patronage of high Austrian nobility, such as the parish church in Seelowitz in Moravia (1722–27) with an integrated facade belfry, or the parish churches in Aspersdorf (1730), Stranzendorf (1733) and Großstelzendorf (1735–37). This architectural type was adopted and further developed by Hildebrandt's contemporaries, especially his immediate follower Franz Anton Pilgram, a Viennese architect whose design for the parish church in Münchendorf (1740) shows great similarity with the Valpovo church, both in its proportions and in the treatment of details. All this is hardly surprising if one keeps in mind the Viennese origin and the courtly status of the commissioner and donor of the parish church in Valpovo. It took more than two decades for the spatial features of this church to become popular in Slavonia, while its proportions and monumentality remained almost unsurpassed, with only few exceptions.

description: In this paper we compare the performances of the chi-square and median likelihood analysis in the determination of cosmological constraints using type Ia supernovae data. We perform a statistical analysis using the 307 supernovae of the Union 2 compilation of the Supernova Cosmology Project and find that the chi-square statistical analysis yields tighter cosmological constraints than the median statistic if only supernovae data is taken into account. We also show that when additional measurements from the Cosmic Microwave Background and Baryonic Acoustic Oscillations are considered, the combined cosmological constraints are not strongly dependent on whether one applies the chi-square statistic or the median statistic to the supernovae data. This indicates that, when complementary information from other cosmological probes is taken into account, the performances of the chi-square and median statistics are very similar, demonstrating the robustness of the statistical analysis.

description: The biological diagnosis of type I hypersensitivity reactions is based on the quantification of specific IgEs. However, the IgE titer is not always strongly related to the clinical symptoms or predictive of the evolution of the disease. The specificity and affinity of antibodies of other isotypes may contribute to the allergic status of the patients. The aim of this work was to develop a method that simultaneously detects the complex antibody response to various allergens and measures the avidity of the antibodies directed to each allergen (Cf Journal of immunological Methods, Volume 405, March 2014, Pages 23?28). We developed a tool to detect and measure the avidity of the various antibodies recognizing the major allergens of an allergenic source. Surface Plasmon Resonance imaging (SPRi) is a sensitive label-free method to detect and visualize biomolecular interactions. Our configuration allows the use of a pattern of various immobilized molecules and simultaneously follows up the kinetic curves of each spotted molecule

description: In clinical research objective, automated and high frequency measures of disease progression are hard to come by. Traditional physicianled tests are only done periodically, missing the fluctuations of disease activity that strongly affect patient's quality of life. They also lack the objectivity that is so important when developing medicines. By providing patients with mobile sensors they carry day in and day out to conduct tests and capture the data, we are addressing this need.

We designed a custom Android App asking patients to complete six “Active Tests” on a daily basis, wherever they are. After completing the Active Tests, patients will then pop their phone in their pockets and carry it around with them throughout the day. This is what we call “Passive Monitoring”.

We have established an end to end approach and technology platform with great potential. Our experience will give other clinical studies the confidence that we can bring the required software and workflows to the clinic. Compliance and ethics hurdles have been cleared and investigators trained. We are already gaining experience with patient uptake and are developing the necessary data analysis techniques. Interpretation of mobile sensor data might soon replace traditional assessments.

description: On Jupiter's icy moon Europa, bands played a crucial role in its geological evolution. Large-scale bands such as Libya Linea (LL), which has previously not been studied with an applied method as other prominent Europan bands, offer insights into the icy moon's regional geologic history. To unravel the evolution of LL, our study employed a detailed topographic analysis, complementing a previous tectonic reconstruction (Collins et al., 2022, https://doi.org/10.1029/2022JE007492). While said reconstruction provided a comprehensive view of western LL's tectonic evolution, our study introduces a critical topographic dimension, revealing nuanced differences and emphasizing the importance of an investigation that included LL's eastern portions. We identified distinctive topographic signatures indicative of different deformation stages. The analysis of eastern LL, previously not studied in detail, allowed us to define and characterize the topographic signatures of younger and older parts of LL. In western LL, the topographic characteristics of some branches of LL aligned with those of young branches in its eastern parts, while the topographic signatures in other LL branches supported their previous interpretation as formed during early and intermediate deformation stages. Furthermore, the identification of transpressive features in western LL partially challenged the previous reconstruction, suggesting reworking processes at late evolutionary stages. Overall, our integrated topographic and morpho-stratigraphic analysis broadens the understanding of LL's evolution and bands on Europa in general. Additionally, the identification of a small area of putative cryovolcanic or diapiric activity adds intriguing elements for future exploration of this region with the Europa Clipper and JUICE spacecraft.

description: Diclofenac sodium, an aryl-acetic acid derivative, is one of the most frequently used NSAIDs worldwide, which was first approved in the United States in 1988 and currently over 5 million prescriptions are filled annually. The presence of the free carboxylic acid group in the diclofenac moiety, is mainly responsible for the associated side effects. A number of synthetic approaches have been developed which are associated with the chemical modification of ?COOH moiety with the aim of improving safety profile and in turn therapeutic window of diclofenac. Several studies have been described for the derivatization of the carboxylate function of diclofenac, with less acidic azoles, viz. 1, 3, 4-oxadiazole, etc. and resulted in an increased anti-inflammatory activity with reduced ulcerogenicity. Herein we report the synthesis of some newer derivatives of diclofenac acid by the modification of carboxylate moiety with 1, 3, 4-oxadiazole and their effect on anti-inflammatory activity and ulcerogenicity.

0102 The Confusion of the Battlefield

description: This contribution is devoted to the tapestry cycle of the Battle of Pavia conserved at the Museo Capodimonte in Naples. Seven tapestries compose this prestigious tapestry set that commemorates the first military success of Charles V: the battle held in Pavia on 24 February 1525. Up to now the tapestries have been interpreted as independent panels representing different episodes of the battle. In this contribution we will show that the seven panels actually originated in one single design, which we rediscovered by assembling them in a different sequence. In fact, the panels provide a description of the battle in a fabulous and unique panoramic landscape: the most monumental siege city view ever conceived in the sixteenth century. This discovery not only changes our lecture of the tapestries, but also raises numerous questions that should be addressed in future studies.

Implications of a 125 GeV Higgs for the MSSM and Low-Scale SUSY Breaking

description: Recently, the ATLAS and CMS collaborations have announced exciting hints for a Standard Model-like Higgs boson at a mass of approximately 125 GeV. In this paper, we explore the potential consequences for the MSSM and low scale SUSY-breaking. As is well-known, a 125 GeV Higgs implies either extremely heavy stops (>~ 10 TeV), or near-maximal stop mixing. We review and quantify these statements, and investigate the implications for models of low-scale SUSY breaking such as gauge mediation where the A-terms are small at the messenger scale. For such models, we find that either a gaugino must be superheavy or the NLSP is long-lived. Furthermore, stops will be tachyonic at high scales. These are very strong restrictions on the mediation of supersymmetry breaking in the MSSM, and suggest that if the Higgs truly is at 125 GeV, viable models of gauge-mediated supersymmetry breaking are reduced to small corners of parameter space or must incorporate new Higgs-sector physics.

description: We present the SPICA Coronagraphic Instrument (SCI), which has been designed for a concentrated study of extra-solar planets (exoplanets). SPICA mission provides us with a unique opportunity to make high contrast observations because of its large telescope aperture, the simple pupil shape, and the capability for making infrared observations from space. The primary objectives for the SCI are the direct coronagraphic detection and spectroscopy of Jovian exoplanets in infrared, while the monitoring of transiting planets is another important target. The specification and an overview of the design of the instrument are shown. In the SCI, coronagraphic and non-coronagraphic modes are applicable for both an imaging and a spectroscopy. The core wavelength range and the goal contrast of the coronagraphic mode are 3.5--27$μ$m, and 10$^{-6}$, respectively. Two complemental designs of binary shaped pupil mask coronagraph are presented. The SCI has capability of simultaneous observations of one target using two channels, a short channel with an InSb detector and a long wavelength channel with a Si:As detector. We also give a report on the current progress in the development of key technologies for the SCI.

description: Ischemic disease is among the deadliest and most disabling illnesses. Prominent examples include myocardial infarction and stroke. Most, if not all, underlying pathological changes, including oxidative stress, inflammation, and nutrient deprivation, are potent inducers of the integrated stress response (ISR). Four upstream kinases are involved in ISR signaling that sense a myriad of inputstress signals and converge on the phosphorylation of serine 51 of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2α (eIF2α). As a result, translation initiation is halted, creating a window of opportunity for the cell to repair itself and restore homeostasis. A growing number of studies show strong induction of the ISR in ischemic disease. Genetic and pharmacological evidence suggests that the ISR plays critical roles in disease initiation and progression. Here, we review the basic regulation of the ISR, particularly in response to ischemia, and summarize recent findings relevant to the actions of the ISR in ischemic disease. We then discuss therapeutic opportunities by modulating the ISR to treat ischemic heart disease, brain ischemia, ischemic liver disease, and ischemic kidney disease. Finally, we propose that the ISR represents a promising therapeutic target for alleviating symptoms of ischemic disease and improving clinical outcomes.

description: We report the observation of a reentrant quantum Hall state at the Landau level filling factor nu = 1 in a two-dimensional hole system confined to a 35-nm-wide (001) GaAs quantum well. The reentrant behavior is characterized by a weakening and eventual collapse of the nu = 1 quantum Hall state in the presence of a parallel magnetic field component B||, followed by a strengthening and reemergence as B|| is further increased. The robustness of the nu = 1 quantum Hall state during the transition depends strongly on the charge distribution symmetry of the quantum well, while the magnitude of B|| needed to invoke the transition increases with the total density of the system.

description: We present an experimental study of single electron emission in ZEPLIN-III, a two-phase xenon experiment built to search for dark matter WIMPs, and discuss applications enabled by the excellent signal-to-noise ratio achieved in detecting this signature. Firstly, we demonstrate a practical method for precise measurement of the free electron lifetime in liquid xenon during normal operation of these detectors. Then, using a realistic detector response model and backgrounds, we assess the feasibility of deploying such an instrument for measuring coherent neutrino-nucleus elastic scattering using the ionisation channel in the few-electron regime. We conclude that it should be possible to measure this elusive neutrino signature above an ionisation threshold of $\sim$3 electrons both at a stopped pion source and at a nuclear reactor. Detectable signal rates are larger in the reactor case, but the triggered measurement and harder recoil energy spectrum afforded by the accelerator source enable lower overall background and fiducialisation of the active volume.

description: This study represents an exploratory examination into the Canadian perception of various Japanese business practices. Salient features of Japanese business practices which Canadians may encounter when doing business with the Japanese are explained and assessed with respect to the need for their understanding and their seriousness as problem areas. This study is divided into two parts. In the first part, five major sociocultural concepts that underlie the Japanese business practices are examined: group orientation, vertical hierarchy, harmony, amae, and an implicit communication style. From these fundamental concepts all aspects of Japanese business practices are derived and originated. These practices include the more concrete customs of exchanging business cards, bowing, and gift giving to the less tangible aspects such as the time required to make decisions and the extensive use of personal connections. In the second part, the results of a survey on the Canadian perception are presented. These results indicate that Canadian businessmen perceive some significant differences between their business systems and practices and those of the Japanese but these differences are not considered to be serious problems in doing business with the Japanese. The three most problematic aspects are practices related to the process of decision making whereas the customs of exchanging business cards, gift giving and bowing are the least problematic.

description: This paper proposes a novel adaptive algorithm to extract facial feature points automatically such as eyebrows corners, eyes corners, nostrils, nose tip, and mouth corners in frontal view faces, which is based on cumulative histogram approach by varying different threshold values. At first, the method adopts the Viola-Jones face detector to detect the location of face and also crops the face region in an image. From the concept of the human face structure, the six relevant regions such as right eyebrow, left eyebrow, right eye, left eye, nose, and mouth areas are cropped in a face image. Then the histogram of each cropped relevant region is computed and its cumulative histogram value is employed by varying different threshold values to create a new filtering image in an adaptive way. The connected component of interested area for each relevant filtering image is indicated our respective feature region. A simple linear search algorithm for eyebrows, eyes and mouth filtering images and contour algorithm for nose filtering image are applied to extract our desired corner points automatically. The method was tested on a large BioID frontal face database in different illuminations, expressions and lighting conditions and the experimental results have achieved average success rates of 95.27%.

description: The study of the effects of spatially uniform fields on the steady-state properties of Axelrod's model has yielded plenty of controversial results. Here we re-examine the impact of this type of field for a selection of parameters such that the field-free steady state of the model is heterogeneous or multicultural. Analyses of both one and two-dimensional versions of Axelrod's model indicate that, contrary to previous claims in the literature, the steady state remains heterogeneous regardless of the value of the field strength. Turning on the field leads to a discontinuous decrease on the number of cultural domains, which we argue is due to the instability of zero-field heterogeneous absorbing configurations. We find, however, that spatially nonuniform fields that implement a consensus rule among the neighborhood of the agents enforces homogenization. Although the overall effects of the fields are essentially the same irrespective of the dimensionality of the model, we argue that the dimensionality has a significant impact on the stability of the field-free homogeneous steady state.

description: Selenite reduction in Clostridium pasteurianum was determined to be due to the constitutive activity of the hydrogenase I enzyme. 115 fold purification of this enzyme was achieved, with strong activity in both Tris and phosphate buffers being seen for selenite reduction. The Vmax for the reduction of selenite was determined to be 158 µmoles hydrogen uptake/min/mg protein, with the Km being 0.2 mM for selenite. The theoretical stoichiometry for the reduction of selenite to elemental selenium, 2 H2 consumed to 1 Se0 produced, was found be close to the experimentally determined value of 2.3:1, and no intermediates in the reduction process were found. The reductase activity was quite specific for selenite and tellurite substrates, and could be efficiently linked by a variety of electron carriers, including the presumed physiological carrier ferredoxin.

Although monodentate CF3-1-phosphabarrelenes show only a poor coordination ability, the chelating nature of the novel P,N-hybrid ligand gives access to various transition-metal complexes. Upon irradiation with UV light, the pyridyl-functionalized 1-phosphabarrelene undergoes a rather selective di-π-methane rearrangement in the coordination sphere of the metal center, leading to the formation of a complex based on a hitherto unknown pyridyl-functionalized 5-phosphasemibullvalene derivative. DFT calculations provide first insights into the mechanism of this reaction.

description: Conspiracy theories have become a prominent topic for sociological research. But although emotions such as paranoia and panic are—sometimes dismissively—referred to in classical accounts of conspiracy theories and different emotions have been empirically linked to conspiracy beliefs, a comprehensive theoretical account of the emotional underpinnings of conspiracy theories is still lacking. In this contribution, I aim to fill this gap by proposing a theoretical model that focuses on the transformation and collectivisation of emotions, facilitated by conspiracy theories. Drawing on existing research, I first identify three groups of emotions relevant to conspiracy theories: (1) anxiety and fear, (2) excitement, fascination and awe and (3) anger, ressentiment and hate. Many of these emotions are both considered to drive individuals towards conspiratorial beliefs and are found to be evoked by conspiracy theories, which raises questions regarding their causal relationship to conspiracy theories. To clarify this conceptual ambiguity, I propose a processual account, according to which conspiracy theories enable the transformation of individual emotions which are marked by powerlessness and thus are frequently suppressed into emotions that are less harmful to the self and can be expressed and acted upon. Crucially, the resulting emotions are experienced collectively and consequently can drive the formation of emotional collectives. Thus, the emotional mechanism does not only motivate individuals to subscribe to conspiracy beliefs but also allows them to reassert their collective political agency and sense of control. In this process, however, the original emotional concern may be lost, resulting in potentially misdirected political actions.
Greater London Council House Condition Survey, 1979
Creators: name: Greater London Council
name: Department Of The Environment
Publisher: name: UK Data Service
Year: 1982

description: The development of housing policy in Greater London required knowledge of the existing condition and quality of the housing stock and of the scope for rehabilitating unsatisfactory properties. The last major survey (SN: 1625) was carried out in 1967 and was now seriously out of date. The 1979 survey was therefore designed to provide comprehensive information on the current state of the dwelling stock in London.

description: Based on the investigation on the properties of the water turbine governing system, an adaptive control strategy is proposed. The most important feature of this control strategy is that its control law is adjusted according to the operating modes of the system. A new control algorithm for a water turbine governing system in its unloaded unsynchronized operation is developed. Instead of using identification routine, a practical procedure for determining the controller parameters is established. A new load-change method is presented by combining the feedback and feedforward concept. This can bring some convenience to the operators of the power plant, economic benefit and stabilizing factor to the network. A new robustness stability design algorithm based on pole-shifting technique is developed for the case when the hydro-electric generating unit is operating in the synchronous mode. It can provide stability in the entire operation range. Simulation studies are performed with the proposed control strategy on a water turbine governing system. It is observed that better system response is achieved using the proposed strategy in comparison to the conventional control.

The quantum of action and finiteness of radiative corrections: Deconfining SU(2) Yang-Mills thermodynamics

description: The quantum of action $\hbar$, multiplying in certain powers perturbative vertices in 4D gauge theory, is related to the action of just-not-resolved selfdual and thermal gauge field configurations, calorons and anticalorons, of charge modulus unity. Appealing to the derivation of the effective theory for the deconfining phase of SU(2) Yang-Mills thermodynamics, we conclude that these vertex inducers convey a rapidly decreasing interaction strength between {\sl fundamental} plane waves when the momentum transfer is increased away from the scale of maximal, {\sl effective} resolution. This adds a deeper justification to the renormalization programme of perturbation theory which ignores the contribution to the partition function of nontrivially selfdual configurations. We also point out a connection between the QED fine-structure constant $α$ and the electric-magnetically dual of the effective gauge coupling in the deconfining phase, and we illustrate the workings of effective loops in the expansion of the pressure.
Qubit purification speed-up for three complementary continuous measurements

description: We consider qubit purification under simultaneous continuous measurement of the three non-commuting qubit operators σ_x, σ_y, σ_z. The purification dynamics is quantified by (i) the average purification rate, and (ii) the mean time of reaching given level of purity, (1-ε). Under ideal measurements (detector efficiency η=1), we show in the first case an asymptotic mean purification speed-up of 4 as compared to a standard (classical) single-detector measurement. However by the second measure --- the mean time of first passage T(ε) of the purity --- the corresponding speed-up is only 2. We explain these speed-ups using the isotropy of the qubit evolution that provides an equivalence between the original measurement directions and three simultaneous measurements, one with an axis aligned along the Bloch vector and the other with axes in the two complementary directions. For inefficient detectors, η=1-δ<1 the mean time of first passage T(δ,ε) increases since qubit purification competes with an isotropic qubit dephasing. In the asymptotic high-purity limit (ε, δ<< 1) we show that the increase possesses a scaling behavior: ΔT(δ,ε) is a function only of the ratio δ/ε. The increase ΔT(δ/ε) is linear for small argument but becomes exponential ~ exp(δ/2ε) for δ/ε large.

description: We use a Quadratic Maximum Likelihood (QML) method to estimate the angular power spectrum of the cross-correlation between cosmic microwave background and large scale structure maps as well as their individual auto-spectra. We describe our implementation of this method and demonstrate its accuracy on simulated maps. We apply this optimal estimator to WMAP 7-year and NRAO VLA Sky Survey (NVSS) data and explore the robustness of the angular power spectrum estimates obtained by the QML method. With the correction of the declination systematics in NVSS, we can safely use most of the information contained in this survey. We then make use of the angular power spectrum estimates obtained by the QML method to derive constraints on the dark energy critical density in a flat $Λ$CDM model by different likelihood prescriptions. When using just the cross-correlation between WMAP 7 year and NVSS maps with 1.8$^\circ$ resolution, the best-fit model has a cosmological constant of approximatively 70% of the total energy density, disfavouring an Einstein-de Sitter Universe at more than 2 $σ$ CL (confidence level).

description: The Josephson effect represents perhaps the prototype of macroscopic phase coherence and is at the basis of the most widespread interferometer, i.e., the superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID). Yet, in analogy to electric interference, Maki and Griffin predicted in 1965 that thermal current flowing through a temperature-biased Josephson tunnel junction is a stationary periodic function of the quantum phase difference between the superconductors. The interplay between quasiparticles and Cooper pairs condensate is at the origin of such phase-dependent heat current, and is unique to Josephson junctions. In this scenario, a temperature-biased SQUID would allow heat currents to interfere thus implementing the thermal version of the electric Josephson interferometer. The dissipative character of heat flux makes this coherent phenomenon not less extraordinary than its electric (non-dissipative) counterpart. Albeit weird, this striking effect has never been demonstrated so far. Here we report the first experimental realization of a heat interferometer. We investigate heat exchange between two normal metal electrodes kept at different temperatures and tunnel-coupled to each other through a thermal `modulator' in the form of a DC-SQUID. Heat transport in the system is found to be phase dependent, in agreement with the original prediction. With our design the Josephson heat interferometer yields magnetic-flux-dependent temperature oscillations of amplitude up to ~21 mK, and provides a flux-to-temperature transfer coefficient exceeding ~ 60mK/Phi_0 at 235 mK [Phi_0 2* 10^(-15) Wb is the flux quantum]. Besides offering remarkable insight into thermal transport in Josephson junctions, our results represent a significant step toward phase-coherent mastering of heat in solid-state nanocircuits, and pave the way to the design of novel-concept coherent caloritronic devices.

description: Clusters of galaxies, such as the Virgo cluster, host enormous quantities of dark matter, making them prime targets for efforts in indirect dark matter detection via potential radiative signatures from annihilation of dark matter particles and subsequent radiative losses of annihilation products. However, a careful study of ubiquitous astrophysical backgrounds is mandatory to single out potential evidence for dark matter annihilation. Here, we construct a multiwavelength spectral energy distribution for the central radio galaxy in the Virgo cluster, M87, using a state-of-the-art numerical Synchrotron Self Compton approach. Fitting recent Chandra, Fermi-LAT and Cherenkov observations, we probe different dark matter annihilation scenarios including a full treatment of the inverse Compton losses from electrons and positrons produced in the annihilation. It is shown that such a template can substantially improve upon existing dark matter detection limits.
