description:
The submarine Brothers arc volcano ~350 km NE of New Zealand is a unique site for studying active magmatic-hydrothermal ore formation. In 2018, IODP Expedition 376 cored the subsurface to provide insights into the third dimension and the evolution of the volcano and associated ore-forming system. We present new petrological and geochemical data on unaltered volcanic rocks from Brothers as well as from two adjacent volcanic ridges. Lavas erupted at these ridges represent potential mafic analogues to the dacites at Brothers. The volcano is located at the arc frontal end of a cross-arc volcanic chain that extends into the backarc. This cross-arc chain is assumed to be the surface expression of an anomalously warm zone in the mantle wedge and the devolatilization of the partially subducted Hikurangi Plateau enhance slab input. This increased flux facilitates the transfer of metals to the wedge and is efficiently liberating metals from residual sulfides in the mantle wedge. As a result, magmas erupted at Brothers volcano and the adjacent volcanic ridges are enriched in ore metals and metalloids. Whereas sulfide saturation is initially suppressed by a high melt oxidation state (Δ log fO2 of +1.5 FMQ), the dacitic lavas of Brothers volcano are depleted in chalcophile elements (e.g., Cu, Au), which limits its porphyry ore potential. This is due to late-stage sulfide segregation during magmatic differentiation. However, other metals and metalloids (e.g., Mo, As, Sb) are progressively enriched and ultimately transferred into the epithermal-hydrothermal system by fluids exsolving from the cooling magma.

description: Populations disproportionately affected by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are also at higher risk for oral diseases and experience oral health and oral health care disparities at higher rates. COVID-19 has led to closure and reduced hours of dental practices except for emergency and urgent services, limiting routine care and prevention. Dental care includes aerosol-generating procedures that can increase viral transmission. The pandemic offers an opportunity for the dental profession to shift more toward nonaerosolizing, prevention-centric approaches to care and away from surgical interventions. Regulatory barrier changes to oral health care access during the pandemic could have a favorable impact if sustained into the future.

description:
Iron metal and troilite co-exist in ordinary chondrites and iron meteorites [1,2]. Here, we present results from Fe metal equilibrium sulfidation experiments in evacuated silica glass tubes at 600-1200 °C. The two distinct phases, Fe and FeS, were analyzed for their δ56Fe and δ57Fe compositions with MC-ICP-MS (Thermo Scientific Neptune Plus). The materials were ablated using a Spectra-Physics Solstice femtosecond laser ablation system at the Institute of Mineralogy, University Hannover, see [3] for analytical details.

At 600–1000 °C the sulfidation reaction occurred in the solid state and Fe metal is coated by FeS, whereas above 1000 °C we observe Fe and FeS melts. We insured isotopic equilibration by running experiments with different durations. At 600 °C and 71h we observed kinetic fractionation effects, whereas after 260h the sulfide coating was isotopically homogeneous. Overall, FeS is systematically heavier compared to the Fe metal, and the isotopic fractionation decreases with increasing temperature from 600-1200 °C. However, a comparison of the experimental results with δ56Fe data from ordinary [1] and iron [2] meteorites shows the opposite fractionation trend. In the meteorites the FeS is always isotopically lighter compared to the Fe metal. We suggest that this is due to kinetic fractionation effects that occur during cooling of Fe-FeS melts in the meteorites, whereas our quenched experiments retained the equilibrium δ56Fe fractionation.

description: Social and economic factors relate to the prevention and control of infectious diseases. The purpose of this paper was to assess the distribution of COVID-19 morbidity rate in association with social and economic factors and discuss the implications for urban development that help to control infectious diseases. This study was a cross-sectional study. In this study, social and economic factors were classified into three dimensions: built environment, economic activities, and public service status. The method applied in this study was the spatial regression analysis. In the 13 districts in Wuhan, the spatial regression analysis was applied. The results showed that: 1) increasing population density, construction land area proportion, value-added of tertiary industry per unit of land area, total retail sales of consumer goods per unit of land area, public green space density, aged population density were associated with an increased COVID-19 morbidity rate due to the positive characteristics of estimated coefficients of these variables. 2) increasing average building scale, GDP per unit of land area, and hospital density were associated with a decreased COVID-19 morbidity rate due to the negative characteristics of estimated coefficients of these variables. It was concluded that it is possible to control infectious diseases, such as COVID-19, by adjusting social and economic factors. We should guide urban development to improve human health.

description: We investigate the energy dynamics in a generalized compass chain under an external magnetic field. We show that the energy current operators act on three contiguous sites in the absence of the magnetic field, and they are incorporated with inhomogenous Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions in the presence of the magnetic field. These complex interactions remain the Hamiltonian be an exactly solvable spin model. We study the effects of the three-site interactions and the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions on the energy spectra and phase diagram. The results have revealed that the energy current of the pristine quantum compass model is conserved due to the associated intermediate symmetries, and for other general cases such characteristic does not exist.

description:
New insights into the Lower Cretaceous sediments can be gained from a recently drilled core (KB Rehburg-2, Lower Saxony, Germany) covering 180 m of Berriasian strata. Stratigraphic assignment is based on ostracods and indicates Wealden 1-4. Palynofacies analysis was carried out to reconstruct the depositional environment of the sequence studied. This data was complemented by geochemical measurements (TOC, Stot, δ13Corg and RockEval pyrolysis) and sedimentological observations to reconstruct the paleoenvironmental conditions during the earliest Cretaceous in the LSB. The particulate organic matter (OM) shows good to very good preservation and is composed of diverse spores, pollen grains, algae and woody debris; marine particles such as dinoflagellates, acritarchs and prasinophytes occur only sporadically.

Data evaluation and integration reveals a predominantly lacustrine, freshwater to brackish depositional system with high continental OM input. Abundance peaks of Botryococcus algae occur throughout the sequence and indicate freshwater to brackish conditions. The rare occurrence of dinoflagellates and acritarchs can be interpreted as indicators of short-term marine ingressions into the LSB. Prasinophytes point to repeated salinity changes. The scarce abundance of dinoflagellate cysts differs significantly from existing studies in the LSB by Schneider et al. (2017), but correlation with two marine transgressive events is tentatively proposed (TE 1-2). This difference may result from a potentially more terrestrially dominated depositional system represented by the Rehburg-2 core.

description: Sedentary behavior is associated with poor physical and mental health. Targeting sedentary behavior is a simple strategy that may help counter physical and mental health concerns associated with COVID-19-related social restrictions. Of course, traditional strategies such as achieving optimal exercise and physical activity levels are also important and should be recommended. However, even under normal circumstances, the difficulty in promoting lasting exercise habits at multiple levels (e.g. individual, environment, policy) are well documented, and chances of maintaining or improving these factors is now even lower. Thus, relative to other lifestyle behaviors - sedentary behavior may be more amenable to change. Moreover, reducing sedentary behavior may be less susceptible to influence from factors associated with health disparities such as age, race, and socio-economic status compared to exercise or physical activity. Sedentary behavior is a feasible health strategy that should be targeted during COVID-19.

Polymer Electrolytes for Shape-Adjustable, Fast Rate, Long Lifespan Lithium Batteries
Creators: name: Jabbari, Vahid
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2023

description: Li metal is an ultimate anode for future high-energy-density rechargeable batteries, when in combination with high-capacity cathodes. However, commercial applications of Li metal batteries (LMBs) are impeded by critical issues triggered by dendritic growth of Li during plating/stripping processes. Therefore, the intrinsic chemical reactivity of Li metal, that reacts with almost all organic liquid electrolytes, make liquid electrolytes unsuitable in LMBs. Hence, finding effective strategies to suppress Li dendrites formation is critical for developing next generation high-energy-density Li batteries. Due to a key role of the electrolyte in enhancing the safety and functionality of LMBs, the main objective herein is to develop novel polymer electrolytes with high Li ions conductivity and stability against Li metal towards long lifespan LMBs. A novel lithophilic gel polymer electrolyte (GPE) for LMBs is demonstrated herein, enabling uniform and nondendritic Li electrodeposition, long cycle life, and high Columbic efficiency. The GPE is made by immobilization of one of the most widely used carbonate-based liquid electrolyte within a crosslinked polymer matrix. A stable Li/solid polymer electrolyte (SPE) interface is engineered via nitriding or phosphating of the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) using a phosphazene additive. The new nitrogen- and phosphorus-containing compounds own a very high Li ions conductivity, mechanical strength and stability against the Li metal. The engineered interface enabled an extended lifespan for LMBs. The confinement effect of parallelly-aligned graphene oxide at Li metal surface is also demonstrated herein as an effective strategy to suppress the dendritic growth of electrochemically deposited Li. This nondendritic growth of Li enables fast charge/discharge capability of the Li batteries and their prolonged lifespan. A smart, flexible Li battery with shape memory function is designed and developed, which has ability to restore its shape against severe mechanical deformations, such as bending, twisting, rolling or elongation. The shape memory function is induced by integration of a shape-adjustable SPE. The shape memory SPE is engineered based on a semi-crystalline, crosslinkable polyethylene oxide, a Li salt, and tetraglyme additive. A flexible pouch-type all-solid-state Li battery could also recover its original shape (planar) against extreme mechanical deformations upon applying heat.

description: Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) is one of the most prevalent attacks that an organizational network infrastructure comes across nowadays. We propose a deep learning based multi-vector DDoS detection system in a software-defined network (SDN) environment. SDN provides flexibility to program network devices for different objectives and eliminates the need for third-party vendor-specific hardware. We implement our system as a network application on top of an SDN controller. We use deep learning for feature reduction of a large set of features derived from network traffic headers. We evaluate our system based on different performance metrics by applying it on traffic traces collected from different scenarios. We observe high accuracy with a low false-positive for attack detection in our proposed system.

description: The classical part of the QCD partition function (the integrand) has, ignoring irrelevant exact zero modes of the Dirac operator, a local SU(2N_F) \supset SU(N_F)_L \times SU(N_F)_R \times U(1)_A symmetry which is absent at the Lagrangian level. This symmetry is broken anomalously and spontaneously. Effects of spontaneous breaking of chiral symmetry are contained in the near-zero modes of the Dirac operator. If physics of anomaly is also encoded in the same near-zero modes, then their truncation on the lattice should recover a hidden classical SU(2N_F) symmetry in correlators and spectra. This naturally explains observation on the lattice of a large degeneracy of hadrons, that is higher than the SU(N_F)_L \times SU(N_F)_R \times U(1)_A chiral symmetry, upon elimination by hands of the lowest-lying modes of the Dirac operator. We also discuss an implication of this symmetry for the high temperature QCD.

description: In the recent SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, public health experts have emphasized testing, tracking infected people, and tracing their contacts as an effective strategy to reduce the spread of the virus. Several diagnostic methods are reported for detecting the coronavirus in clinical, research, and public health laboratories. Some tests detect the infection directly by detecting the viral RNA and other tests detect the infection indirectly by detecting the host antibodies. A diagnostic test during the pandemic should help make an appropriate clinical decision in a short period of time. Recently reported diagnostic methods for SARS-CoV-2 have varying throughput, batching capacity, requirement of infrastructure setting, analytical performance, and turnaround times ranging from a few minutes to several hours. These factors should be considered while selecting a reliable and rapid diagnostic method to help make an appropriate decision and prompt public health interventions. This paper reviews recent SARS-CoV-2 diagnostic methods published in journals and reports released by regulatory agencies. We compared the analytical efficiency including limit of detection, sensitivity, specificity, and throughput. In addition, we also looked into ease of use, affordability, and availability of accessories. Finally, we discuss the limitations of the methods and provide our perspectives on priorities for future test development.

description: This study entails the third part of a global flare energetics project, in which Ramaty High-Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager (RHESSI) data of 191 M and X-class flare events from the first 3.5 yrs of the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) mission are analyzed. We fit a thermal and a nonthermal component to RHESSI spectra, yielding the temperature of the differential emission measure (DEM) tail, the nonthermal power law slope and flux, and the thermal/nonthermal cross-over energy $e_{\mathrm{co}}$. From these parameters we calculate the total nonthermal energy $E_{\mathrm{nt}}$ in electrons with two different methods: (i) using the observed cross-over energy $e_{\mathrm{co}}$ as low-energy cutoff, and (ii) using the low-energy cutoff $e_{\mathrm{wt}}$ predicted by the warm thick-target bremsstrahlung model of Kontar et al. {\bf Based on a mean temperature of $T_e=8.6$ MK in active regions we find low-energy cutoff energies of $e_{\mathrm{wt}} =6.2\pm 1.6$ keV for the warm-target model, which is significantly lower than the cross-over energies $e_{\mathrm{co}}=21 \pm 6$ keV. Comparing with the statistics of magnetically dissipated energies $E_{\mathrm{mag}}$ and thermal energies $E_{\mathrm{th}}$ from the two previous studies, we find the following mean (logarithmic) energy ratios with the warm-target model: $E_{\mathrm{nt}} = 0.41 \ E_{\mathrm{mag}}$, $E_{\mathrm{th}} = 0.08 \ E_{\mathrm{mag}}$, and $E_{\mathrm{th}} = 0.15 \ E_{\mathrm{nt}}$. The total dissipated magnetic energy exceeds the thermal energy in 95% and the nonthermal energy in 71% of the flare events, which confirms that magnetic reconnection processes are sufficient to explain flare energies. The nonthermal energy exceeds the thermal energy in 85\% of the events, which largely confirms the warm thick-target model.

description:
Access to top research equipment facilitates top research. However, the research equipment needed may not always be available within individual institutes, while access to external facilities may not in all cases be affordable. This restricts the research that any individual can do and hampers scientific breakthroughs, particularly across disciplines. To overcome this limitation, two collaborative infrastructure networks were recently initiated: EPOS-NL (European Plate Observing System- Netherlands) and the EXCITE network. Both these networks pool facilities present at multiple institutes and provide free-of charge access to these, for Earth Scientists worldwide. Specifically, EPOS-NL (www.EPOS-NL.nl) provides access to geophysical labs in the Netherlands, for research within rock physics, microscopy, tomography and analogue modelling of tectonic processes. These labs can provide the means and expertise for research into the mechanical behavior and transport properties of the Earth’s crust and upper mantle. The EXCITE network (www.EXCITE-network.eu) provides trans-national access to 24 state-of-the-art microscopy and tomography facilities in Europe. As such it can help you gain insight into the processes governing the behavior of the Earth crust through microchemical analyses and 2D- to 4D imaging, and down to nanometer resolution. Access to EPOS-NL and EXCITE can be requested by applying to a bi-annual call, posted on their respective websites. This involves submitting a short (1-2 page) research proposal. Research proposals are peer-reviewed on the basis of excellence but generally have a high chance of success (~80% in previous rounds). Interested? Have a look on the EPOS-NL and EXCITE websites – and apply!

description: While we are still learning more about COVID-19, caused by the novel SARS-CoV-2 virus, finding alternative and already available methods to reduce the risk and severity of the disease is paramount. One such option is vitamin D, in the form of vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) supplementation, due to its potential antiviral properties. It has become apparent that older individuals have a greater risk of developing severe COVID-19, and compared to younger adults, the elderly have lower levels of vitamin D due to a variety of biological and behavioral factors. Older adults are also more likely to be diagnosed with Parkinson's disease (PD), with advanced age being the single greatest risk factor. In addition to its immune-system-modulating effects, it has been suggested that vitamin D supplementation plays a role in slowing PD progression and improving PD-related quality of life. We completed a review of the literature to determine the relationship between vitamin D, PD, and COVID-19. We concluded that the daily supplementation of 2000-5000 IU/day of vitamin D3 in older adults with PD has the potential to slow the progression of PD while also potentially offering additional protection against COVID-19.

description: We consider convection in an internally heated layer of fluid that is bounded below by a perfect insulator and above by a poor conductor. The poorly conducting boundary is modelled by a fixed heat flux. Using solely analytical methods, we find linear and energy stability thresholds for the static state, and we construct a lower bound on the mean temperature that applies to all flows. The linear stability analysis yields a Rayleigh number above which the static state is linearly unstable ($R_L$), and the energy analysis yields a Rayleigh number below which it is globally stable ($R_E$). For various boundary conditions on the velocity, exact expressions for $R_L$ and $R_E$ are found using long-wavelength asymptotics. Each $R_E$ is strictly smaller than the corresponding $R_L$ but is within 1%. The lower bound on the mean temperature is proven for no-slip velocity boundary conditions using the background method. The bound guarantees that the mean temperature of the fluid, relative to that of the top boundary, grows with the heating rate ($H$) no slower than $H^{2/3}$.

description: The best previous lower bounds for kissing numbers in dimensions 25 through 31 were constructed using a set $S$ with $|S| = 480$ of minimal vectors of the Leech Lattice, $Λ_{24}$, such that $\langle x, y \rangle \leq 1$ for any distinct $x, y \in S$. Then, a probabilistic argument based on applying automorphisms of $Λ_{24}$ gives more disjoint sets $S_i$ of minimal vectors of $Λ_{24}$ with the same property. Cohn, Jiao, Kumar, and Torquato proved that these subsets give kissing configurations in dimensions 25 through 31 of given size linear in the sizes of the subsets. We achieve $|S| = 488$ by applying simulated annealing. We also improve the aforementioned probabilistic argument in the general case. Finally, we greedily construct even larger $S_i$'s given our $S$ of size $488$, giving increased lower bounds on kissing numbers in $\mathbb{R}^{25}$ through $\mathbb{R}^{31}$.

title: Towards a cost-efficient method to apply anthropogenic gadolinium as a pseudo-natural tracer in monitoring waste water-derived xenobiotics in tap water

description:

Anthropogenic Gd in the aquatic environment originates from very stable water-soluble Gd complexes used as contrast agents in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). These contrast agents cannot be removed in waste water treatment plants and are released into surface waters with their clearwater discharge. Since the first discovery of anthropogenic Gd in tap water in Berlin in 1995, a strong increase was observed until 2012, mainly in the city’s western districts. For a follow-up study in 2021, we sampled these sites again to monitor evolving anthropogenic Gd levels in tap water over the past decade.

We adapted a method for automated preconcentration of seawater samples with low REY concentrations using a seaFAST system to the analysis of tap water. Comparing the results of this new protocol to those derived via the established manual method, we demonstrate the excellent agreement between these two approaches.

The general trend of strongly increasing anthropogenic Gd anomalies observed between 2009 and 2012 continued until 2021, closely following the increase of the number of MRI scans performed in Berlin. While the general spatial distribution confirms earlier observations of much stronger anthropogenic positive Gd anomalies in western than eastern districts, several eastern districts where no anthropogenic Gd had been observed in the past, now also show pronounced positive Gd anomalies, revealing the presence of waste water-derived xenobiotics in the tap water.

Using automated preconcentration for REY analysis in tap water, the microcontaminant Gd may now be applied as a reliable and cost-efficient pseudo-natural tracer for waste water-derived substances.

description: As of 28 April 2020, COVID-19 has been confirmed in 2.9 million people worldwide, with an estimated overall global mortality of up to 6.9%; it is even higher (up to 50%) in older populations with comorbidities. Healthcare systems around the world are stretched to the point of collapse, with no treatment proven to be effective. There is an urgent need for therapeutic interventions that can reduce the rate of respiratory
failure, the leading cause of mortality. The current focus is on the development of novel antiviral therapeutics, as well as vaccines.
Accumulating evidence suggests that a subgroup of patients
with COVID-19 develops a severe inflammatory response akin to macrophage activation syndrome (MAS)/hemophagocytic lympho-histiocytosis (HLH), orchimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell–mediated cytokine release syndrome (CRS), which may contribute to the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) seen in up to 20% of patient. Antibody therapies to block cytokines are used in the management of CRS in other settings and are highly effective. This approach may be useful to decrease pulmonary inflammation in patients suffering from COVID-19, but there is concern about the potential for increasing direct infection-related morbidity and mortality

description: Orthorhombic GdFeO$_3$ has attracted considerable attention in recent years because its magnetic structure is similar to that in the well-known BiFeO$_3$ material. We investigate electronic structure, magnetism, and optical properties of the orthorhombic GdFeO$_3$ in terms of density-functional-theory calculations. The modified Becke-Johnson (mBJ) exchange potential is adopted to improve on the description of the electronic structure. Our calculation show that the G-type antiferromagnetic (G-AFM ordering of Fe spins) phase of orthorhombic GdFeO$_3$ is stable compared to other magnetic phases. The semiconductor gap calculated with mBJ, substantially larger than that with GGA, is in good agreement with recent experimental values. Besides, we also investigate effect of the spin-orbit coupling on the electronic structure, and calculate with mBJ the complex dielectric functions and other optical functions of photon energy. The magnetic exchange interactions are also investigated, which gives a Neel temperature close to experimental observation. For comparison towards supporting our results, we study the electronic structure of rhombohedral (R3c) BiFeO$_3$ with mBJ. These lead to a satisfactory theoretical understanding of the electronic structure, magnetism, and optical properties of orthorhombic GdFeO$_3$ and can help elucidate electronic structures and optical properties of other similar materials.

Year: 2023

description:  In this research, I study the digital resistance to Asian-American hate, isolation, alienation, and ‘othering’ visibilized during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020-21 in the Global North. Specifically, I draw attention to the role of personal and artistic representations of Asian female bodies that perform both a resistance to hate, in the context of the pandemic, and an affirmation of ethnic and racial heritage and belonging of the self in North America. Through the engagement with #stopasianhate and #haterisavirus hashtags on Instagram, I uncover the rejection of historic and contemporary racial and gendered violence, harassment, xenophobia, and othering that emerges through visual activism and personal and artistic performativity online. I focus on the interplay between body politics and anti-racist feminist digital activism in order to understand how performativity of the self through photography and art can empower Asian-American female bodies.
Dans cette recherche, j'étudie la résistance numérique à la haine, à l'isolement, à l'aliénation et à « l'altérité » des Asiatiques-Américains, visible pendant la pandémie de Covid-19 en 2020.21 dans le l’hémisphère nord. Plus précisément, j'attire l'attention sur le rôle des représentations personnelles et artistiques des corps féminins asiatiques qui constituent à la fois une résistance à la haine, dans le contexte de la pandémie, et une affirmation de l'héritage ethnique et racial et de l'appartenance de soi en Amérique du Nord. À travers l'engagement des hashtags #stopasianhate et #haterisavirus sur Instagram, je découvre le rejet de la violence raciale et sexiste qui est historiques et contemporaines, le harcèlement, la xénophobie et l'altérité qui émergent à travers l'activisme visuel et la performativité personnelle et artistique en ligne. Je me concentre sur l'interaction entre la politique du corps et l'activisme numérique féministe antiraciste afin de comprendre comment la performativité du soi à travers la photographie et l'art peut donner plus de pouvoir aux corps des femmes asiatiques-américaines.
