Layered Uncertainty in Planetary Thermal History Models: Implications for Hypotheses Discrimination and Habitability Modeling

description: Multiple hypotheses/models have been put forward regarding the cooling history of the Earth. The search for life beyond Earth has brought these models into a new light as they connect to one of the two energy sources life can tap. The ability to discriminate between different Earth cooling models, and the utility of adopting such models to aid in the assessment of planetary habitability, has been hampered by a lack of uncertainty analysis. This motivates a layered uncertainty analysis for a range of thermal history models that have been applied to the Earth. The analysis evaluates coupled model input, initial condition, and structural uncertainty. Layered model uncertainty, together with data uncertainty and multiple working hypotheses (another form of uncertainty), means that results must be evaluated in a probabilistic sense even if the models are deterministic. For the Earth's cooling history uncertainty leads to ambiguity - multiple models, based on different hypotheses, can match data constraints. This has implications for using such models to forecast conditions for exoplanets that share Earth characteristics but are older than the Earth, i.e., it has implications for modeling the long-term life potential of terrestrial planets. Even for the most Earth-like planet we know of, the Earth itself, model uncertainty and ambiguity leads to large forecast spreads. Given that this comes from the planet with the most data constraints we should expect larger spreads for models of terrestrial planets in general. The layered uncertainty approach can be expanded by coupling planetary cooling models to climate models and propagating uncertainty between them to assess habitability from a probabilistic versus a binary view.

description: We calculate the partition function $Z(t)$ and the asymptotic integrated level density $N(E)$ for Yang-Mills-Higgs Quantum Mechanics for two and three dimensions ($n = 2, 3$). Due to the infinite volume of the phase space $Γ$ on energy shell for $n= 2$, it is not possible to disentangle completely the coupled oscillators ($x^2 y^2$-model) from the Higgs sector. The situation is different for $n = 3$ for which $Γ$ is finite. The transition from order to chaos in these systems is expressed by the corresponding transitions in $Z(t)$ and $N(E)$, analogous to the transitions in adjacent level spacing distribution from Poisson distribution to Wigner-Dyson distribution. We also discuss a related system with quartic coupled oscillators and two dimensional quartic free oscillators for which, contrary to YMHQM, both coupling constants are dimensionless.

Anisotropic topological magnetoelectric effect in axion insulators

description: Three-dimensional topological insulators or axion insulators exhibit the topological magnetoelectric effect, which is isotropic with a universal coefficient of proportionality quantized in units of $e^2/2h$. Here we study the finite-size effect of topological magnetoelectric effect, and find the magnetoelectric coefficients are anisotropic, namely $α_{xx}\neqα_{zz}$. Both of them are shown to converge to a quantized value when the thickness of topological insulator film $d$ increases reaching the three-dimensional bulk limit. The nonzero value of $(α_{xx}-α_{zz})\propto1/d$ could be measured by using the gyrotropic or nonreciprocal birefringence of terahertz light. The unique $1/d$ dependence on film thickness of the rotation angle of optical principle axes is the manifestation of topological magnetoelectric effect, which may also serve as a smoking gun signature for axion insulators.

Development of a novel marker vaccine platform for protection against Bluetongue Virus (BTV)

description: Bluetongue virus (BTV) is an economically important member of the genus Orbivirus and closely related to African horse sickness virus (AHSV) and Epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus (EHDV). Currently, 26 different serotypes of BTV are known. The virus is transmitted by blood-feeding Culicoides midges and causes disease (bluetongue [BT]) in ruminants. In 2006/2007, BTV serotype 8 (BTV-8) caused widespread outbreaks of BT amongst livestock in Europe, which were eventually controlled employing a conventionally inactivated BTV vaccine. However, this vaccine did not allow the discrimination of infected from vaccinated animals (DIVA) by the commonly used VP7 cELISA. RNA replicon vectors based on propagation-incompetent recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) represent a novel vaccine platform that combines the efficacy of live attenuated vaccines with the safety of inactivated vaccines. Our goal was to generate an RNA replicon vaccine for BTV-8, which is safe, efficacious, adaptable to emerging orbivirus infections , and compliant with the DIVA principle. The VP2, VP5, VP3 and VP7 genes encoding the BTV-8 capsid proteins, as well as the non-structural proteins NS1 and NS3 were inserted into a VSV vector genome lacking the essential VSV glycoprotein (G) gene. Infectious virus replicon particles (VRP) were produced on a transgenic helper cell line providing the VSV G protein in trans. Expression of antigens in vitro was analysed by immunofluorescence using monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies. In a pilot study, sheep were immunized with two different VRP-based vaccine candidates, one comprising the BTV-8 antigens VP2, VP5, VP3, VP7, NS1, and NS3, the other one containing antigens VP3, VP7, NS1, and NS3. Control animals received VRPs containing an irrelevant antigen. Virus neutralizing antibodies and protection after BTV-8 challenge were evaluated and compared to animals immunized with the conventionally inactivated vaccine. Full protection was induced only when the two antigens VP2 and VP5 were included in the vaccine. To further evaluate if VP2 alone, a combination of VP2 and VP5 or VP5 alone were necessary for complete protection, we performed a second animal trial. Interestingly, VP2 as well as the combination of VP2 and VP5 but not VP5 alone conferred full protection in terms of neutralizing antibodies, and protection from clinical signs and viremia after BTV-8 challenge. These results show that the VSV replicon system represents a safe, efficacious and DIVA-compliant vaccine against BTV as well as a possible platform for protection against other Orbiviruses, such as AHSV and EHDV.

description: The HIV-1 integrase (IN) is a major target for the design of novel anti-HIV inhibitors. Among these, three inhibitors which embody a halobenzene ring derivative (HR) in their structures are presently used in clinics. High-resolution X-ray crystallography of the complexes of the IN-viral DNA transient complex bound to each of the three inhibitors showed in all cases the HR ring to interact within a confined zone of the viral DNA. The extension of its extracyclic CX bond is electron-depleted, owing to the existence of the "sigma-hole". It interacts favorably with the electron-rich rings of base G4. We have sought to increase the affinity of HR derivatives for the G4/C16 base pair. We thus designed thirteen novel derivatives and computed their Quantum Chemistry (QC) intermolecular interaction energies (delta(E)) with this base-pair. Most compounds had DE values significantly more favorable than those of the HR of the most potent halobenzene drug presently used in clinics, Dolutegravir. This should enable the improvement in a modular piece-wise fashion, the affinities of halogenated inhibitors for viral DNA (vDNA). In view of large scale polarizable molecular dynamics simulations on the entirety of the IN-vDNA-inhibitor complexes, validations of the SIBFA polarizable method are also reported, in which the evolution of each delta(SIBFA) contribution is compared to its QC counterpart along this series of derivatives.

description: We first compare the mathematical structure of quantum and classical mechanics when both are formulated in a C*-algebraic framework. By using finite von Neumann algebras, a quantum mechanical analogue of Liouville's theorem is then proposed. We proceed to study Poincare recurrence in C*-algebras by mimicking the measure theoretic setting. The results are interpreted as recurrence in quantum mechanics, similar to Poincare recurrence in classical mechanics.

description: As an intermediate product of phosphorus compounds in astrophysical chemistry, PH2+(11A′) has great significance in research on the PHn+ (n=0−4) systems. However, as a basis for studying its reaction mechanisms, PH2+(11A′) lacks an accurate global potential energy surface (PES) and related dynamic reports. In this investigation, based on a multi-reference configuration interaction approach with Davidson correction, an accurate global many-body expansion PES for PH2+ in its ground state was reported by fitting extensive ab initio energies, as calculated with the correlation-consistent basis set aug-cc-pVQZ. Meanwhile, the switching function formalism was adopted to explain and distinguish the transformation between P+(1D) and P+(3P) in one-body energy terms, which ensured the correct dissociation channel in the reaction process of P+(1D)+H2({X}1Σg+)→PH+(X2Π)+H(2S). The topographical characteristics of the title system PES were meticulously contrasted with those in other literature reports, which were consistent with previous experimental and theoretical values. Subsequently, the time-dependent wave packet approach was adopted to calculate the reaction probability and integral cross-section for the reaction P+(1D)+H2({X}1Σg+)(v=0,j=0)→PH+(X2Π)+H(2S) to verify the accuracy of the new PES. This dynamics study may help to further explain the thermochemical reactions of phosphorus-containing molecules in interstellar media.

description: We use standard deep neural networks to classify univariate time series generated by discrete and continuous dynamical systems based on their chaotic or non-chaotic behaviour. Our approach to circumvent the lack of precise models for some of the most challenging real-life applications is to train different neural networks on a data set from a dynamical system with a basic or low-dimensional phase space and then use these networks to classify univariate time series of a dynamical system with more intricate or high-dimensional phase space. We illustrate this generalisation approach using the logistic map, the sine-circle map, the Lorenz system, and the Kuramoto--Sivashinsky equation. We observe that a convolutional neural network without batch normalization layers outperforms state-of-the-art neural networks for time series classification and is able to generalise and classify time series as chaotic or not with high accuracy.

description: The goal of this work has been to calibrate sensitivities and fragmentation pattern of various molecules as well as further characterize the lab model of the ROSINA Double Focusing Mass Spectrometer (DFMS) on board ESA’s Rosetta spacecraft bound to comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. The detailed calibration and characterization of the instrument is key to understand and interpret the results in the coma of the comet. A static calibration was performed for the following species: Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, H2O, N2, CO2, CH4, C2H6, C3H8, C4H10, and C2H4. The purpose of the calibration was to obtain sensitivities for all detectors and emissions, the fragmentation behavior of the ion source and to show the capabilities to measure isotopic ratios at the comet. The calibration included the recording of different correction factors to evaluate the data, including a detailed investigation of the detector gain. The quality of the calibration that could be tested for different gas mixtures including the calibration of the density inside the ion source when calibration gas from the gas calibration unit is introduced. In conclusion the calibration shows that DFMS meets the design requirements and that DFMS will be able to measure the D/H at the comet and help shed more light on the puzzle about the origin of water on Earth.

description: In this work we experimentally demonstrated the near-field thermal radiation enhancement over the blackbody limit by 11 times between highly doped silicon chips with 1x1 cm2 size at a vacuum gap distance of 190 nm under a temperature difference of 74.7 K above room temperature. SU-8 polymer posts, which significantly reduced the conduction less than 6% of the total heat transfer due to its low thermal conductivity, were carefully fabricated with different heights to directly create vacuum gaps from 507 nm down to 190 nm precisely determined in-situ by capacitance measurement. Experimental results were validated by theoretical calculations based on fluctuational electrodynamics, which revealed the enhancement mechanism mainly as coupled surface plasmon polariton. The experimental method developed here will facilitate the potential applications of near-field radiative devices made of electrically conductive materials like metals, graphene, and transparent conductive oxide besides heavily doped semiconductors for thermal energy conversion, radiative thermal rectification, and radiative heat modulation.

description: The perpendicular critical fields of a superconducting film have been strongly enhanced by using a nanoengineered lattice of magnetic dots (dipoles) on top of the film. Magnetic-field-induced superconductivity is observed in these hybrid superconductor / ferromagnet systems due to the compensation of the applied field between the dots by the stray field of the dipole array. By switching between different magnetic states of the nanoengineered field compensator, the critical parameters of the superconductor can be effectively controlled.

description: We use numerical simulations to study the dynamics of surface discharges, which are common in high-voltage engineering. We simulate positive streamer discharges that propagate towards a dielectric surface, attach to it, and then propagate over the surface. The simulations are performed in air with a two-dimensional plasma fluid model, in which a flat dielectric is placed between two plate electrodes. Electrostatic attraction is the main mechanism that causes streamers to grow towards the dielectric. Due to the net charge in the streamer head, the dielectric gets polarized, and the electric field between the streamer and the dielectric is increased. Compared to streamers in bulk gas, surface streamers have a smaller radius, a higher electric field, a higher electron density, and higher propagation velocity. A higher applied voltage leads to faster inception and faster propagation of the surface discharge. A higher dielectric permittivity leads to more rapid attachment of the streamer to the surface and a thinner surface streamer. Secondary emission coefficients are shown to play a modest role, which is due to relatively strong photoionization in air. In the simulations, a high electric field is present between the positive streamers and the dielectric surface. We show that the magnitude and decay of this field are affected by the positive ion mobility.

description: Zielsetzung: Das Ziel der vorliegenden Studie war, die Wirkung der SnCl2/AmF-Vorbehandlung auf die Dentinhaftkraft von Komposit auf erodiertem Dentin - vermittelt durch die Adhäsivsysteme Clearfil SE oder Scotchbond Universal - zu prüfen. Materialien und Methoden: Aus extrahierten menschlichen Molaren wurden 160 Dentinprobekörper hergestellt (n=20 pro Gruppe; 8 Gruppen) und standardisiert aufgeraut. Die Hälfte der Dentinprobekörper unterlag danach einer artifiziellen Erosion mittels Durchlaufen von Demineralisations- und Remineralisationszyklen. Anschliessend wurden die Dentinprobekörper vorbehandelt und restauriert: Die Hälfte der Dentinprobekörper wurde mit SnCl2/AmF vorbehandelt und dann mit Clearfil SE oder Scotchbond Universal konditioniert. Die andere Hälfte der Dentinprobekörper wurde ohne weitere Vorbehandlung mit Clearfil SE oder Scotchbond Universal konditioniert. Die Restauration erfolgte bei allen Dentinprobekörpern mit demselben Komposit (Clearfil Majesty Esthetic). Die restaurierten Dentinprobekörper wurden nach 24 h in Stäbchen gesägt, durch Zug zum Bruch gebracht (Mikrozughaftkraft-Test (microtensile bond strength test, „µTBS-test“)); die Dentinhaftkraft (MPa) wurde gemessen und die Bruchmuster wurden bestimmt. Die Werte der Dentinhaftkraft wurden mittels nichtparametrischer ANOVA gefolgt von Mann-Whitney-U-Tests statistisch analysiert. Die Beurteilung der Bruchmuster wurde deskriptiv ausgewertet. Resultate: Die artifizielle Erosion führte bei den Dentinprobekörpern zu signifikant tieferer Dentinhaftkraft (p˂0.0001). Die Vorbehandlung mit SnCl2/AmF führte zu keinem signifikanten Unterschied bezüglich Dentinhaftkraft. Auch bestand kein signifikanter Unterschied der Dentinhaftkraft zwischen den beiden verwendeten Adhäsivsystemen Clearfil SE und Scotchbond Universal. Schlussfolgerung: Die Dentinhaftkraft von Komposit auf erodiertem Dentin vermittelt durch ein Adhäsivsystem war niedriger als auf nicht erodiertem Dentin. Die Dentinhaftkraft wurde durch die Vorbehandlung mit SnCl2/AmF nicht beeinflusst. Die beiden Adhäsivsysteme Clearfil SE und Scotchbond Universal führten zur selben, hohen Dentinhaftkraft.
The influence of attention on the relationship between temporal resolution power and general intelligence

description: Previous research showed repeatedly that individual differences in the temporal resolution power (TRP) of the central nervous system are related to individual differences in general intelligence. This relationship became to be known as the TRP hypothesis. However, the TRP hypothesis was challenged by the fact that temporal as well as non-temporal neural information processing afford considerable attentional resources and, hence, the relationship between TRP and general intelligence might be explained alternatively by attention as common source of variance. Therefore, the present study aimed to arrive at a better understanding of the interplay among TRP, attention, and general intelligence. For this purpose, a latent variable approach was used to dissociate attention-paced speed variance in latency-based measures of attention from all residual-based, non-experimental speed variance. That way, two potential mediators were derived, one representing a pure measure of perceptual attention and the other representing a conglomerate of the non-experimental processes not associated with the experimental manipulation of attention. A bootstrapped mediation analysis revealed that both mediators were not capable of mediating the relationship between TRP and general intelligence, hence, the present finding confirmed that TRP is a reliable and substantial determinant of individual differences in general intelligence. Future studies have to clarify the potential mediating role of more executive aspects of attention in order to elucidate the role of attention as an integral phenomena in the context of the TRP hypothesis.

Internal and external effects on cognition: Evidence from memory training in very preterm-born children and cognition in patients with carotid artery stenosis before and after treatment

description: The present synopsis aims to integrate one study about memory training in very preterm-born children and two studies about cognition in patients with carotid artery stenosis before and after treatments. Preterm-born children are at increased risk of cognitive deficits and behavioural problems compared with peers born at term. This thesis determined whether memory training would improve cognitive functions in school-age very preterm-born children. Memory strategy training produced significant improvements in trained and non-trained cognitive functions; a core working memory training revealed significant effects on short-term memory and working memory tasks. Six months after training, children in both training groups showed better working memory performance than children in the waiting control group. This is evidence that memory training – an external influence on cognition – induces plastic changes in very preterm-born children. Patients with carotid artery stenosis are known to be at increased risk of cognitive impairment. We showed that patients with symptomatic or asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis were at higher risk for cognitive deficits than expected in a normative sample. This thesis seeks to link cognitive plasticity to internal factors like carotid stenosis. An external factor, which influences blood flow to the brain is the nature of the carotid artery stenosis treatment. Research on the effects of carotid artery stenosis treatment on cognition has produced inconsistent results. We found significant improvement in frontal lobe functions, visual memory and motor speed one year after treatment independent of the treatment type (best medical treatment, carotid artery stenting, carotid artery endarterectomy); providing evidence for ‘treatment-induced’ cognitive plasticity. Baseline performance was negatively associated with improvement in various cognitive functions after training in very preterm-born children and after treatment in patients with carotid artery stenosis. The present synopsis aims to integrate these findings into the current and relevant literature, and discuss consequences as well as methodological considerations resulting from the studies constituting the thesis at hand.

description: We study the equation of state of electron in strong magnetic fields which are greater than the critical value $B_c \simeq 4.4 \times 10^{13}$ Gauss. We find that such a strong magnetic field induces the anisotropic pressure of electron. We apply the result to the neutrino-driven wind in core-collapse supernovae and find that it can produce large entropy per baryon, $S \sim 400 k_B$. This mechanism might successfully account for the production of the heavy nuclei with mass numbers A = 80 -- 250 through the r-process nucleosynthesis.

description: We present new measures of complexity and their application to event related potential data. The new measures base on structures of recurrence plots and makes the identification of chaos-chaos transitions possible. The application of these measures to data from single-trials of the Oddball experiment can identify laminar states therein. This offers a new way of analyzing event-related activity on a single-trial basis.

description: Delay differential equations (DDEs) are widely used in mathematical modeling to describe physical and biological systems. Delays can impact model dynamics, resulting in oscillatory behavior. In physiological systems, this instability may signify (i) an attempt to return to homeostasis or (ii) system dysfunction. In this study, we analyze a nonlinear, nonautonomous, nonhomogeneous open-loop neurological control model describing the autonomic nervous system response to the Valsalva maneuver. Unstable modes have been identified as a result of parameter interactions between the sympathetic delay and time-scale. In a two-parameter bifurcation analysis, we examine both the homogeneous and nonhomogeneous systems. Discrepancies between solutions result from the presence of the forcing functions which stabilize the system. We use analytical methods to determine stability regions for the homogeneous system, identifying transcendental relationships between the parameters. We also use computational methods to determine stability regions for the nonhomogeneous system. The presence of a Hopf bifurcation within the system is discussed and solution types from the sink and stable focus regions are compared to two control patients and a patient with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS). The model and its analysis support the current clinical hypotheses that patients suffering from POTS experience altered nervous system activity.

description: Superconducting nickelates appear to be difficult to synthesize. Since the chemical reduction of ABO3 (A: rare earth; B transition metal) with CaH2 may result in both, ABO2 and ABO2H, we calculate the topotactic H binding energy by density functional theory (DFT). We find intercalating H is energetically favorable for LaNiO2 but not for Sr-doped NdNiO2. This has dramatic consequences for the electronic structure as determined by DFT+dynamical mean field theory: that of 3d9 LaNiO2 is similar to (doped) cuprates, 3d8 LaNiO2H is a two-orbital Mott insulator. Topotactical H might hence explain why some nickelates are superconducting and others are not.

description: Comets are thought to be the most pristine bodies present in the Solar System. In consequence of spending the majority of their existence beyond 30 AU, their composition can give insights on the physical and chemical conditions during their formation. Since August 2014 the European Space Agency spacecraft Rosetta accompanies the Jupiter family comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko on its way to perihelion and beyond. In this study the isotope fractionation of 34S are reported in H2S, OCS, SO2, S2, and CS2 at 67P. In addition for the first time the isotope fractionation for 33S is presented for cometary volatiles. The ratio 32S/33S is given for H2S, SO2 and a tentative value is given for CS2. With a mean value of -50 ± 22‰ and -306 ± 31‰ for δ34S and δ33S respectively, H2S shows a significant depletion in both 34S and 33S. For SO2 the depletion is less distinct with δ34S and δ33S being -67 ± 40‰ and -130 ± 53‰, respectively. The strongest depletion is present for CS2 with -114 ± 21‰and -276 ± 55‰, respectively. For OCS and S2 only δ34S could be determined which is -252 ± 77‰ and -357 ± 145‰, respectively. A comparison with sulfur isotopic ratios measured in SiC grains revealed that both SiC grains and the five volatile species have similar sulfur isotopic ratios. However, it is beyond the scope of this work to investigate the possibility of a link between SiC grains and cometary ices. Nevertheless, mass-dependent or mass-independent fractionation due to photo dissociation can be ruled out as sole cause of the seen depletion of 33S and 34S. Furthermore, an upper limit of (9.64 ± 0.19)·10.4 for D/H in HDS has been determined. This value is about a factor two higher than D/H in H2O for the same comet reported by (Altwegg et al., 2015). Besides the investigation concerning isotopic ratios of sulfur bearing species in this work the calibration and characterization of ROSINA/DFMS has been continued. Here it is reported about the deviation of the mass scale for MCP/LEDA low resolution spectra and the calibration measurements performed in the laboratory. Furthermore the outcome of the attempt to describe the sensitivity of DFMS with an empirical function will be discussed. The last part of the characterization of DFMS is dedicated to determine the so-called individual pixel gain for the laboratory and the flight model. Moreover, correlation between the depletion’s manifestation of the MCP with respect to the applied voltages has been investigated for both models. It has been found that further measurements are needed to understand the manifestation of depletion at the laboratory model. For the model on board of Rosetta it could be shown that most of the present feature are due to the usage of the MCP and suggestions have been made in order to answer the remaining question considering the depletion of the MCP.

description: We present preliminary results on the computation of the QCD running coupling constant in the MOM_tilde scheme and Landau gauge with two flavours of dynamical Wilson quarks. Gluon momenta range up to about 7 GeV (beta=5.6, 5.8 and 6.0) with a constant dynamical quark mass. This range already allows to exhibit some evidence for a sizeable 1/mu^2 correction to the asymptotic behaviour, as in the quenched approximation. We find Lambda_MS^(N_f=2) = 264(27) MeV x [a^{-1}(5.6,0.1560)/(2.19 GeV)], which leads to alpha_s(M_Z) = 0.113(3)(4). In view of the systematics error to be controlled, this encouraging result is more a preliminary indication than a real prediction.

description: Trapped fields of over 20 T are, in principle, achievable in bulk, single-grain high temperature cuprate superconductors. The principle barriers to realizing such performance are, firstly, the large tensile stresses that develop during the magnetization of such trapped-field magnets as a result of the Lorentz force, which lead to brittle fracture of these ceramic-like materials at high fields and, secondly, catastrophic thermal instabilities as a result of flux movement during magnetization. Moreover, for a batch of samples nominally fabricated identically, the statistical nature of the failure mechanism means the best performance (i.e. trapped fields of over 17 T) cannot be attained reliably. The magnetization process, particularly to higher fields, also often damages the samples such that they cannot repeatedly trap high fields following subsequent magnetization. In this study, we report the sequential trapping of magnetic fields of ~ 17 T, achieving 16.8 T at 26 K initially and 17.6 T at 22.5 K subsequently, in a stack of two Ag-doped GdBa2Cu3O7-δ bulk superconductor composites of diameter 24 mm reinforced with (1) stainless-steel laminations, and (2) shrink-fit stainless steel rings. A trapped field of 17.6 T is, in fact, comparable with the highest trapped fields reported to date for bulk superconducting magnets of any mechanical and chemical composition, and this was achieved using the first composite stack to be fabricated by this technique.
