description: This study presents a data-driven reconstruction of daily runoff that covers the entirety of Switzerland over an extensive period from 1962 to 2023. To this end, we harness the capabilities of deep learning-based models to learn complex runoff-generating processes directly from observations, thereby facilitating efficient large-scale simulation of runoff rates at ungauged locations. By driving the resulting model with gridded temperature and precipitation data available since the 1960s, we provide a spatiotemporally continuous reconstruction of runoff. The efficacy of the developed model is thoroughly assessed through spatiotemporal cross-validation and compared against a distributed hydrological model, a model used operationally in Switzerland.

The developed data-driven model demonstrates not only competitive performance but also notable improvements over traditional hydrological modeling in replicating daily runoff patterns, capturing annual variability, and discerning long-term trends. The resulting long-term reconstruction of runoff is subsequently used to delineate significant shifts in Swiss water resources throughout the past decades. These are characterized by an increased occurrence of dry years, contributing to a negative decadal trend, particularly during the summer months. These insights are pivotal for the understanding and management of water resources, particularly in the context of climate change and environmental conservation. The reconstruction product is made available online.

Furthermore, the reduced data dependency and computational efficiency of our model pave the way for simulating diverse scenarios and conducting comprehensive climate attribution studies. This represents a substantial progression in the field, allowing for the analysis of thousands of scenarios in a time frame significantly shorter than traditional methods.

Dynamic face parsing in the wild
Creators: name: Wang, Yujiang
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2020

description: Landmark-based facial descriptors are widely utilised in face video analysis to obtain useful facial dynamics. Such a sparse facial representation is not capable of constructing the full dynamics of each facial component like eyes and mouths, while such dynamics can be essential to the recognition of higher-level features like facial expressions, emotions, identity, and so on. A dense facial descriptor such as the segmentation masks generated by face parsing, however, can effectively overcome those limitations by providing pixel-wise semantic information that is generally more discriminative and more desirable to facial analysis tasks. Recently, Deep Convolutional Neural Networks (DCNNs) have made impressive progress in semantic image segmentation, a task that performs per-pixel classifications. Those deep segmentation models can naturally generate pixel-level predictions for facial images, however, face parsing in the wild is still a challenging task. The model's ability to accurately segment different facial regions is crucial to generate high-quality face masks. Besides, how to adapt the segmentation models designed for static images to the continuous environment of face videos also requires consideration. To satisfy the real-time requirement under realistic scenarios, the acceleration problem needs to be resolved. This thesis investigates different aspects of in-the-wild face parsing and proposes several novel approaches of constructing robust face segmentation masks. To increase the robustness of eye segmentation against low-quality video scenarios, we encode the shape priors of eyes into the training procedure of deep segmentation model. Additionally, the segmentation model's sensitivity to semantic facial contours is enhanced by introducing the Dilated Convolutions with Lateral Inhibitions, which is a convolutional operator biologically inspired by human visual systems. To exploit information from both temporal and spatial domains in face videos, we propose a ConvLSTM-FCN model to generate temporal-smoothed face segmentation masks which are more tolerant to video variations. Eventually, we consider to accelerate the process of dynamic face parsing via Reinforcement Learning to learn a globally-optimised key scheduler. This thesis contributes towards in-the-wild face parsing from different aspects such as improving the fundamental network architectures and optimising the performance under realistic scenarios. It can benefit downstream tasks that require detailed facial dynamics such as facial expression recognition and lip-reading. It can also be inspiring to future works on semantic image/video segmentation, and to other works pursuing face parsing with higher visual qualities or with better working efficiency.

description: Nucleon electromagnetic form factors are fundamental quantities related to the charge and magnetization distributions inside the nucleon. Understanding the nucleon electromagnetic structure in terms of the underlying quark and gluon degrees of freedom of quantum chromodynamics is a challenging and urgent task. The nucleon electromagnetic form factors have been studied in the past extensively from unpolarized electron scattering experiments. With the development in polarized beam, recoil polarimetry, and polarized target technologies, polarization experiments have provided more precise data on these quantities. At the same time, significant theoretical progress in areas ranging from effective field theories to lattice QCD calculations, has been made in describing these data. In this article, we review recent experimental and theoretical progress on this subject. we also provide future outlook on this topic.

description: Data-driven methods have shown great potential in solving challenging manipulation tasks, however, their application in the domain of deformable objects has been constrained, in part, by the lack of data. To address this, we propose PokeFlex, a dataset featuring real-world paired and annotated multimodal data that includes 3D textured meshes, point clouds, RGB images, and depth maps. Such data can be leveraged for several downstream tasks such as online 3D mesh reconstruction, and it can potentially enable underexplored applications such as the real-world deployment of traditional control methods based on mesh simulations. To deal with the challenges posed by real-world 3D mesh reconstruction, we leverage a professional volumetric capture system that allows complete 360° reconstruction. PokeFlex consists of 18 deformable objects with varying stiffness and shapes. Deformations are generated by dropping objects onto a flat surface or by poking the objects with a robot arm. Interaction forces and torques are also reported for the latter case. Using different data modalities, we demonstrated a use case for the PokeFlex dataset in online 3D mesh reconstruction. We refer the reader to our website ( https://pokeflex-dataset.github.io/ ) for demos and examples of our dataset.

description: Background 3′-Untranslated regions (3′UTRs) play crucial roles in mRNA metabolism, such as by controlling mRNA stability, translation efficiency, and localization. Intriguingly, in some genes the 3′UTR is longer than their coding regions, pointing to additional, unknown functions. Here, we describe a protein-coding function of 3′UTRs upon frameshift-inducing alternative splicing in more than 10% of human and mouse protein-coding genes. Results 3′UTR-encoded amino acid sequences show an enrichment of PxxP motifs and lead to interactome rewiring. Furthermore, an elevated proline content increases protein disorder and reduces protein stability, thus allowing splicing-controlled regulation of protein half-life. This could also act as a surveillance mechanism for erroneous skipping of penultimate exons resulting in transcripts that escape nonsense mediated decay. The impact of frameshift-inducing alternative splicing on disease development is emphasized by a retinitis pigmentosa-causing mutation leading to translation of a 3′UTR-encoded, proline-rich, destabilized frameshift-protein with altered protein-protein interactions. Conclusions We describe a widespread, evolutionarily conserved mechanism that enriches the mammalian proteome, controls protein expression and protein-protein interactions, and has important implications for the discovery of novel, potentially disease-relevant protein variants.

description: This paper has three main objectives. First, we aim to derive from first principles a linear heat capacity model for proteins exhibiting two-state conformational transition dynamics, which includes, as a special case, the constant heat capacity model frequently referenced in the literature. Second, we present a protocol for inferring the Gibbs free energy of protein folding by fitting the linear heat capacity model to differential scanning calorimetry data. Third, we demonstrate this protocol using Mathematica software, applying it to real datasets and comparing the linear and constant heat capacity models. While most of our derivations are well established in the literature, we provide a step-by-step bridge from mathematical modeling to application, addressing a practical gap in existing resources that benefits researchers.

description: Background: The COVID-19 pandemic poses a challenge to global mental health. Loneliness and isolation may put people at higher risk for increased psychological distress. However, there is a lack of research investigating the development of COVID-19-related distress over time. Materials and Methods: We undertook an online survey among general population (N = 1903) in Germany throughout 6 months from the peak transmission period in April to the off-peak period by September 2020. Results: We found that the average prevalence of psychological distress caused by the COVID-19 pandemic significantly rose from 24% to 66% between the peak and off-peak transmission period, respectively. Unemployment rate and loneliness increased negative mental health outcomes, although the number of active COVID-19 cases decreased from April to September. Psychological distress scores increased mostly in female, young, and lonely people. Conclusions: Our results underline the importance of considering innovative alternatives to facilitate employment opportunities, distant contacts, and self-help over the course of the pandemic. Our study highlights the urgent need to pay attention to mental health services specifically targeting female, young, unemployed, and lonely people.

description: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a complex disease which currently affects more than 460 million people and is one of the leading cause of death worldwide. Its development implies numerous metabolic dysfunctions and the onset of hyperglycaemia-induced chronic complications. Multiple ligands can be rationally designed for the treatment of multifactorial diseases, such as DM, with the precise aim of simultaneously controlling multiple pathogenic mechanisms related to the disease and providing a more effective and safer therapeutic treatment compared to combinations of selective drugs. Starting from our previous findings that highlighted the possibility to target both aldose reductase (AR) and protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B), two enzymes strictly implicated in the development of DM and its complications, we synthesised 3-(5-arylidene-4-oxothiazolidin-3-yl)propanoic acids and analogous 2-butenoic acid derivatives, with the aim of balancing the effectiveness of dual AR/PTP1B inhibitors which we had identified as designed multiple ligands (DMLs). Out of the tested compounds, 4f exhibited well-balanced AR/PTP1B inhibitory effects at low micromolar concentrations, along with interesting insulin-sensitizing activity in murine C2C12 cell cultures. The SARs here highlighted along with their rationalization by in silico docking experiments into both target enzymes provide further insights into this class of inhibitors for their development as potential DML antidiabetic candidates.

We apply our result to the logarithmic potential and arrive at a simple and elegant formula for the number of e-foldings. We evolve the field equations numerically and observe a remarkable agreement with the analytical result.

description: Public perception of environmental and health risks is often quite different from that of the best experts, and is heterogeneous among the population. Maybe because of a lack of credibility, public authorities do not seem to be able to reach any consensus, nor to reconcile quite disparate arguments. In our works (see, in particular, Salanié and Treich, 2003), we argue that the existence of divergent perceptions, or disagreements, is a fundamental aspect of the risks. This leads us to study, from our viewpoint of environmental economists, the impact that these disagreements may have on public policies.

description: More and more diseases have been found to be strongly correlated with disturbances in the microbiome constitution, e.g., obesity, diabetes, or some cancer types. Thanks to modern high-throughput omics technologies, it becomes possible to directly analyze human microbiome and its influence on the health status. Microbial communities are monitored over long periods of time and the associations between their members are explored. These relationships can be described by a time-evolving graph. In order to understand responses of the microbial community members to a distinct range of perturbations such as antibiotics exposure or diseases and general dynamical properties, the time-evolving graph of the human microbial communities has to be analyzed. This becomes especially challenging due to dozens of complex interactions among microbes and metastable dynamics. The key to solving this problem is the representation of the time-evolving graphs as fixed-length feature vectors preserving the original dynamics. We propose a method for learning the embedding of the time-evolving graph that is based on the spectral analysis of transfer operators and graph kernels. We demonstrate that our method can capture temporary changes in the time-evolving graph on both synthetic data and real-world data. Our experiments demonstrate the efficacy of the method. Furthermore, we show that our method can be applied to human microbiome data to study dynamic processes.

description: Maps are broadly relevant across various fields, serving as valuable tools for presenting spatial phenomena and communicating spatial knowledge. However, map-making is still largely confined to those with expertise in GIS and cartography due to the specialized software and complex workflow involved, from data processing to visualization. While generative AI has recently demonstrated its remarkable capability in creating various types of content and its wide accessibility to the general public, its potential in generating maps is yet to be fully realized. This paper highlights the key applications of generative AI in map-making, summarizes recent advancements in generative AI, identifies the specific technologies required and the challenges of using current methods, and provides a roadmap for developing a generative mapping system (GMS) to make map-making more accessible.

description: In this work, we investigate the connection and compatibility between $νn \rightarrow \barν \bar{n}$ reactions and $n$-$\bar{n}$ oscillations based on the $SU(3)_c \times SU(2)_L \times U(1)$ symmetry model with additional Higgs triplets. We explore the possibility that the scattering process $νn\rightarrow \barν\bar{n}$ produced by low-energy solar neutrinos gives rise to an unavoidable background in the measurements of $n$-$\bar{n}$ oscillations. We focus on two different scenarios, depending on whether the $(B-L)$ symmetry could be broken. We analyze the interplay of the various constraints on the two processes and their observable consequences. In the scenario where both $(B+L)$ and $(B-L)$ could be broken, we point out that if all the constraints, mainly arising from the type-II seesaw mechanism, are satisfied, the parameter space would be severely constrained. In this case, although the masses of the Higgs triplet bosons could be within the reach of a direct detection at the LHC or future high-energy experiments, the predicted $n$-$\bar{n}$ oscillation times would be completely beyond the detectable regions of the present experiments. In both scenarios, the present experiments cannot distinguish a $νn \rightarrow \barν \bar{n}$ reaction event from a $n$-$\bar{n}$ oscillation event within the accessible energy range. Nevertheless, if any of the two processes is detected, there could be signal associated with new physics beyond the Standard Model.

description: We show that the Bronnikov theorem on the nonexistence of regular electrically charged black holes can be circumvented. In the frame of nonlinear electrodynamics, we present the exact regular black hole solutions of a hybrid type. They are electrically charged, but contain a `dual' core confining a polarization of magnetic charges. The considered example is based on a modification of the Ayón-Beato & Garc\'ıa solution. It represents a very specific realization of the idea on confinement based on dual electrodynamics and dual superconductivity.

description: Engineered nanomaterials are potentially very useful for a variety of applications, but studies are needed to ascertain whether these materials pose a risk to human health. Here, we studied three benchmark nanomaterials (Ag nanoparticles, TiO2 nanoparticles, and multi-walled carbon nanotubes, MWCNTs) procured from the nanomaterial repository at the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission. Having established a sub-lethal concentration of these materials using two human cell lines representative of the immune system and the lungs, respectively, we performed RNA sequencing of the macrophage-like cell line after exposure for 6, 12, and 24 h. Downstream analysis of the transcriptomics data revealed significant effects on chemokine signaling pathways. CCR2 was identified as the most significantly upregulated gene in MWCNT-exposed cells. Using multiplex assays to evaluate cytokine and chemokine secretion, we could show significant effects of MWCNTs on several chemokines, including CCL2, a ligand of CCR2. The results demonstrate the importance of evaluating sub-lethal concentrations of nanomaterials in relevant target cells.
Embodied Belonging: In/exclusion, Health Care, and Well-Being in a World in Motion

description: In this introduction, we propose the notion of ‘embodied belonging’ as a fruitful analytical heuristic for scholars in medical and psychological anthropology. We envision this notion to help us gain a more nuanced understanding of the entanglements of the political, social, and affective dimensions of belonging and their effects on health, illness, and healing. A focus on embodied belonging, we argue, reveals how displacement, exclusion, and marginalization cause existential and health-related ruptures in people’s lives and bodies, and how affected people, in the struggle for re/emplacement and re/integration, may regain health and sustain their well-being. Covering a variety of regional contexts (Germany/Vietnam, Norway, the UK, Japan), the contributions to this special issue examine how embodied non/belonging is experienced, re/imagined, negotiated, practiced, disrupted, contested, and achieved (or not) by their protagonists, who are excluded and marginalized in diverse ways. Each article highlights the intricate trajectories of how dynamics of non/belonging inscribe themselves in human bodies. They also reveal how belonging can be utilized and drawn on as a forceful means and resource of social resilience, if not (self-)therapy and healing.
Rescaling interactions for quantum control

description: A powerful control method in experimental quantum computing is the use of spin echoes, employed to select a desired term in the system's internal Hamiltonian, while refocusing others. Here we address a more general problem, describing a method to not only turn on and off particular interactions but also to rescale their strengths so that we can generate any desired effective internal Hamiltonian. We propose an algorithm based on linear programming for achieving time-optimal rescaling solutions in fully coupled systems of tens of qubits, which can be modified to obtain near time-optimal solutions for rescaling systems with hundreds of qubits.

description: A seamless mosaic has been constructed including a 3D terrain model at 50 m grid-spacing and a corresponding terrain-corrected orthoimage at 12.5 m using a novel approach applied to ESA Mars Express High Resolution Stereo Camera orbital (HRSC) images of Mars. This method consists of blending and harmonising 3D models and normalising reflectance to a global albedo map. Eleven HRSC image sets were processed to Digital Terrain Models (DTM) based on an opensource stereo photogrammetric package called CASP-GO and merged with 71 published DTMs from the HRSC team. In order to achieve high quality and complete DTM coverage, a new method was developed to combine data derived from different stereo matching approaches to achieve a uniform outcome. This new approach was developed for high-accuracy data fusion of different DTMs at dissimilar grid-spacing and provenance which employs joint 3D and image co-registration, and B-spline fitting against the global Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter (MOLA) standard reference. Each HRSC strip is normalised against a global albedo map to ensure that the very different lighting conditions could be corrected and resulting in a tiled set of seamless mosaics. The final 3D terrain model is compared against the MOLA height reference and the results shown of this intercomparison both in altitude and planum. Visualisation and access mechanisms to the final open access products are described.

description: There are varieties of methods available for the exploration of solids using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Some of these methods are quite sophisticated, others require specialized equipment. This review is addressed to those for whom NMR is not the main research method. It discusses simple methods that can be applied to solids with little or no adaptation to a specific system. Despite their technical simplicity and ease of use, these methods are powerful analytical tools that provide unique insights into the structure, dynamics, and noncovalent interactions in homo- and heterogeneous systems. Particular attention is paid to the characterization of porous materials and solids containing phosphorus. 31P NMR of organometallic compounds has been used as an example of how theoretical calculations can help in deeper analysis of experimental data.
Control of transverse motion and X-ray emission of electrons accelerated in laser-driven wakefields by tuning laser spatial chirp

description: A method is proposed to control the transverse motion and X-ray emission of an electron beam in a laser driven wakefield by tuning the laser spatial chirp. The dispersion of a transversely chirped laser pulse and the transverse nonuniform refractive index of the plasma channel result in transverse laser centroid oscillations, which leads to periodic transverse oscillations of the laser-driven wake. Electrons accelerated inside the wake also undergo transverse oscillations making wiggler like motion. Both the oscillation period and amplitude can be controlled by tuning the laser chirp, the pulse duration or the plasma channel width. As a result, the far field spectral distributions of the X-ray emission can be flexibly manipulated.

description: We establish the local and global well-posedness of strong solutions to the two- and three-dimensional anelastic equations of stratified viscous flows. In this model, the interaction of the density profile with the velocity field is taken into account, and the density background profile is permitted to have physical vacuum singularity. The existing time of the solutions is infinite in two dimensions, with general initial data, and in three dimensions with small initial data.
