description: The near-Earth asteroid (25143) Itokawa was characterised in great detail by the Japanese Hayabusa mission. We revisited the available thermal observations in the light of the true asteroid properties with the goal to evaluate the possibilities and limitations of thermal model techniques. In total, we used 25 published ground-based mid-infrared photometric observations and 5 so far unpublished measurements from the Japanese infrared astronomical satellite AKARI in combination with improved H-G values. Our thermophysical model (TPM) approach allowed us to determine correctly the sense of rotation, to estimate the thermal inertia and to derive robust effective size and albedo values by only using a simple spherical shape model. A more complex shape model, derived from light-curve inversion techniques, improved the quality of the predictions considerably and made the interpretation of thermal light-curve possible. The radiometrically derived effective diameter value agrees within 2% of the true Itokawa size value. The combination of our TPM and the final Itokawa in-situ shape model was then used as a benchmark for deriving and testing radiometric solutions. The consolidated value for the surface-averaged thermal inertia is 700 $\pm$ 200 Jm$^{-2}$s$^{-0.5}$K$^{-1}$. We found that even the high resolution shape models still require additional small-scale roughness in order to explain the disk-integrated infrared measurements. Our description of the thermal effects as a function of wavelengths, phase angle, and rotational phase facilitates the planning of crucial thermal observations for sophisticated characterization of small bodies, including other potentially hazardous asteroids. Our analysis shows the power of radiometric techniques to derive the size, albedo, thermal inertia, and also spin-axis orientation from small sets of measurements at thermal infrared wavelengths.

description: One of the core activities of memory institutions is to provide access to heritage material from their collections so that it can be used in formal and informal educational activities. Although this type of access is beneficial for audiences, we argue that current digital technologies for access still require users to know in which collection they must look for a specific subject or type of content. Although collection aggregators, such as Europeana and Google Arts and Culture, have made it easier to access content across collections, there is still a lack of engaging interfaces which can draw the interest amongst a wide range of audiences for exploring heritage material. In this research, we propose a tangible interface for accessing Cultural Heritage (CH) content in the form of a pop-up book. Pop-up books are a highly engaging way to get audiences to interact with materials in archives and collections. Our approach is creative and playful as it takes advantage of both the narrative and the three-dimensional and tactile nature of pop-up books so that audiences can engage with digital content through Augmentation Reality (AR). The technical contributions of the paper include a method to enable real-time interaction between the physical elements of the book and the virtual content. Unlike other AR pop-up books that generate purely virtual pop-up content, our design preserves the original 3D model inside the books and generates virtual effects on those objects, making our application more appealing and engaging than other AR books. This approach and technical method are deployed using a commercially available pop-up book with stories about various famous landmarks in the city of London. Content drawn from heritage collections enriches the stories told in the book with additional visual content and interactions. Initial tests of this approach suggest that it has the potential to engage audiences who will not be traditionally inclined to access other platforms with CH content.

description: At laser intensities above 1023W/cm2 the interaction of a laser with a plasma is qualitatively different to the interactions at lower intensities. In this intensity regime solid targets start to become relativistically underdense, gamma-ray production by synchrotron emission starts to become an important feature of the dynamics and, at even higher intensities, electron-positron pair production by the non-linear Breit-Wheeler process starts to occur. Previous work in this intensity regime has considered ion acceleration1,2, identified different mechanisms for the underlying plasma physics of laser generation of gamma-rays3,4,5 considered the effect of target parameters on gamma-ray generation6 and considered the creation of solid density positronium plasma3. However a complete linked understanding of the important new physics of this regime is still lacking. In this paper, an analysis is presented of the effects of target density, laser intensity, target preplasma properties and other parameters on the conversion efficiency, spectrum and angular distribution of gamma-rays by synchrotron emission. An analysis of the importance of Breit-Wheeler pair production is also presented.

description: The roman church of Saint Nectaire, like many churches in Auvergne, France, is richly decorated with carved capitals. Most of them represent figures or symbols of Christianity and are periodically illuminated by the sunlight that comes to strike them at different times of the day throughout the year. The periodicity of these occurrences, which seem to correspond to a "targeted" temporality around religious feasts, appeals to historians who foresee the possibility of a perpetual religious calendar marking the times of the Christian liturgy with regularity and precision. The observations made since 2009 by Daniel Tardy [Dan13] have made it possible to highlight the high number of luminous phenomena, particularly concerning the remarkable lighting of the choir capitals: this has made it possible to hypothesize peculiar coincidences between the day of the luminous event and the date of the Julian calendar (used from 46 B.C. to 1582 AD) corresponding to the Christian celebration of the illuminated figures. The presence of hills, however, recurrently masks the sun at the beginning and end of the day and prevents the illumination on a certain number of sculpted figures that one would expect, given the number of calendar occurrences already observed elsewhere. Considering its experience in the field of digital survey 3D modeling and real-time simulation in the field of heritage [ASL15], [MDSB14], [NMRS13], [SCN*13], [Sal18], the MAP laboratory created a complete numerical model of the church and to submit it to a virtual heliodon in order to predict the illumination of the interior decorative elements at "critical" moments throughout the year if the surrounding hills did not exist: the question of the primary location of the church is currently the subject of many conjectures. This experiment consists in a methodological approach whose purpose is to validate a solar simulation method on an existing building and to verify its validity by direct confrontation between the simulation produced and the observable effects in reality. This not only allows us to make hypotheses about the constructive history of the the church of Saint Nectaire, but also - in the near future- to apply this method to several nearby churches, similar in their history, their architecture and their religious iconography.

description: The absolute-magnitude distributions of seven supernova types are presented. The data used here were primarily taken from the Asiago Supernova Catalogue, but were supplemented with additional data. We accounted for both foreground and host-galaxy extinction. A bootstrap method is used to correct the samples for Malmquist bias. Separately, we generate volume-limited samples, restricted to events within 100 Mpc. We find that the superluminous events (M_B < -21) make up only about 0.1% of all supernovae in the bias-corrected sample. The subluminous events (M_B > -15) make up about 3%. The normal Ia distribution was the brightest with a mean absolute blue magnitude of -19.25. The IIP distribution was the dimmest at -16.75.

description: Cultural heritage preservation using photometric approaches received increasing significance in the past years. Capturing of these datasets is usually done with high-end cameras at maximum image resolution enabling high quality reconstruction results while leading to immense storage consumptions. In order to maintain archives of these datasets, compression is mandatory for storing them at reasonable cost. In this paper, we make use of the mostly static background of the capturing environment that does not directly contribute information to 3d reconstruction algorithms and therefore may be approximated using lossy techniques. We use a superpixel and figure-ground segmentation based near-lossless image compression algorithm that transparently decides if regions are relevant for later photometric reconstructions. This makes sure that the actual artifact or structured background parts are compressed with lossless techniques. Our algorithm achieves compression rates compared to the PNG image compression standard ranging from 1:2 to 1:4 depending on the artifact size.

description: Long-lived alpha and beta emitters in the $^{222}$Rn decay chain on detector surfaces may be the limiting background in many experiments attempting to detect dark matter or neutrinoless double-beta decay. Removal of tens of microns of material via electropolishing has been shown to be effective at removing radon daughters implanted into material surfaces. Some applications, however, require the removal of uniform and significantly smaller thicknesses. Here, we demonstrate that electropolishing < 1 $μ$m from stainless-steel plates reduces the contamination efficiently, by a factor > 100. Examination of electropolished wires with a scanning electron microscope confirms that the thickness removed is reproducible and reasonably uniform. Together, these tests demonstrate the effectiveness of removal of radon daughters for a proposed low-radiation, multi-wire proportional chamber (the BetaCage), without compromising the screener's energy resolution. More generally, electropolishing thin layers of stainless steel may effectively remove radon daughters without compromising precision-machined parts.

description: To meet the growing concern for the well-being of laboratory animals, group-housing is now recommended for rats. The aim of the present study was to examine the effects of group-housing and relative weight within the group on feeding behaviour in rats. Studies of the individual feeding behaviour of group-housed animals have been carried out in many farm animals. In these studies, when effects of group-housing and hierarchy on individual feeding behaviour are studied, the results are often confounded by differences in age, body weight, genetic differences and earlier experience of the animal. All these factors were standardised in the present study. The individual meal patterns of 12 male Sprague-Dawley rats, of the same weight and age, housed singly were compared to their meal patterns after two weeks of housing in groups of three per cage, The feed intake and the feeding behaviour were recorded by computerised balances in combination with time lapse video recordings, during the group-housing period. Although when group-housed the rats made the same number of visits to the food cup as when housed singly, they ate more quickly, ate less per visit, and hence spent less time per day eating. The increase in eating rate was significant for the rats assigned to be the medium weight or lightest in their groups but not for the rats designated to be heaviest in their groups, indicating that the relative weight of the rats had an effect on their eating behaviour.

Hyperaccretion during tidal disruption events: weakly bound debris envelopes and jets

description: After the destruction of the star during a tidal disruption event (TDE), the cataclysmic encounter between a star and the supermassive black hole (SMBH) of a galaxy, approximately half of the original stellar debris falls back onto the hole at a rate that can initially exceed the Eddington limit by orders of magnitude. We argue that the angular momentum of this matter is too low to allow it to attain a disk-like configuration with accretion proceeding at a mildly super-Eddington rate, the excess energy being carried away by a combination of radiative losses and radially distributed winds. Instead, we propose that the infalling gas traps accretion energy until it inflates into a weakly-bound, quasi-spherical structure with gas extending nearly to the poles. We study the structure and evolution of such "Zero-Bernoulli accretion" flows (ZEBRAs) as a model for the super-Eddington phase of TDEs. We argue that such flows cannot stop extremely super-Eddington accretion from occurring, and that once the envelope is maximally inflated, any excess accretion energy escapes through the poles in the form of powerful jets. We compare the predictions of our model to Swift J1644+57, the putative super-Eddington TDE, and show that it can qualitatively reproduce some of its observed features. Similar models, including self-gravity, could be applicable to gamma-ray bursts from collapsars and the growth of supermassive black hole seeds inside quasi-stars.

Occlusion prevents the use of vascular loops for blood sampling and dosing in minipigs

description: Continous blood sampling and intravenous dosing are difficult in pigs, especially minipigs. A skin loop containing the jugular vein or the carotid artery has been used for solving this problem in other species of animals, but it has never been attempted in the pig. In this study eight such skin loops were made on minipigs, which technically caused only a few problems. Shortening the loop and widening the distance between the two parallel incisions reduced problems of necrosis and improper wound healing. A juvenile pig did not show such problems. However, in all loops excessive formation of fibrotie tissue occluded the vessel after approximately six days. We, therefore, conclude that although the surgical technique is possible: further modification, e.g, by insertion of a rigid artificial vessel or an in-dwelling catheter, is necessary, before vascular loops can he used as a method for continuous sampling and dosing in minipigs.

description: For the hierarchical normal and inverse gamma model, we calculate the Bayes posterior estimator of the variance parameter of the normal distribution under Stein’s loss function which penalizes gross overestimation and gross underestimation equally and the corresponding Posterior Expected Stein’s Loss (PESL). We also obtain the Bayes posterior estimator of the variance parameter under the squared error loss function and the corresponding PESL. Moreover, we obtain the empirical Bayes estimators of the variance parameter of the normal distribution with a conjugate inverse gamma prior by two methods. In numerical simulations, we have illustrated five aspects: The two inequalities of the Bayes posterior estimators and the PESLs; the moment estimators and the Maximum Likelihood Estimators (MLEs) are consistent estimators of the hyperparameters; the goodness-of-fit of the model to the simulated data; the numerical comparisons of the Bayes posterior estimators and the PESLs of the oracle, moment, and MLE methods; and the plots of the marginal densities for various hyperparameters. The numerical results indicate that the MLEs are better than the moment estimators when estimating the hyperparameters. Finally, we utilize the %bodyfat data of 250 men of various ages to illustrate our theoretical studies.

description: We have studied the physiological and behavioral responses in male rats to copulation and exercise. For this purpose, electrocardiographys (ECGs) were recorded from conscious and unrestrained rats using radiotelemetry system, Heart rate during copulation rose sharpiy following the induction of a receptive female, showed a peak of about 520 bpm during each ejaculation series, and then rapidly decreased. To compare the rate of decrease after ejaculation with that following vigorous exercise, we run male rats on a motor wheel until heart rate became to the same value during ejaculation. Foliewing the cessation of exercise, heart rate decreased gradually. The possible role of the autonomic nervous system in the changes of heart rate during copulation and exercise is discussed.

description: Several bacterial strains are currently used as probioties. Sixteen of them belonging to the genera: Bifidobacterium. Enterococcus. Lactobacillus and Streptococcus, were selected to test short-ehain fatty acids (StJFAs) production in w‘tm and/‘er in viva. The probiotic strains were monoeultivated in specific media and/or monoassoeiated with NMRl-Kl germfree (GF) mice. The individual and total amounts of SCFAs were measured in the media and in the large intestinal content of the ex-GF mice. All the samples were assayed by gas-liquid chromatography. We found that commercially available media contain detectable amounts of acetic and propionic acids. When cultivated in vitro. none of the probiotie strains was able to increase the amounts of SCFAS present in the medium. Rather, a tendency to lowering the concentration of SCFAs following cultivation. was observed. We also found that commercially available laboratory rodents chow contained detectable amount of all SCFAs. When the probiotics were monoinoculated t0 GF animals, nine out of sixteen groups of mice showed higher amount of intestinal SCFAS than in the GF control group. Acetic acid was the dominant one. In all eases. however, the values of the SCFAs were far from those found in conventional mice. The results clearly underline the importance of working with laboratory animals with a known flora. i. e. gnotobiotie animals, when the biochemical “profile" eta prohiotie is worked out.

description: We consider a family of continuous time symmetric random walks indexed by $k\in \mathbb{N}$, $\{X_k(t),\,t\geq 0\}$. For each $k\in \mathbb{N}$ the matching random walk take values in the finite set of states $Γ_k=\frac{1}{k}(\mathbb{Z}/k\mathbb{Z})$ which is a subset of the unitary circle. The stationary probability for such process converges to the uniform distribution on the circle, when $k\to \infty$. We disturb the system considering a fixed $C^2$ potential $V: \mathbb{S}^1 \to \mathbb{R}$ and we will denote by $V_k$ the restriction of $V$ to $Γ_k$. Then, we define a non-stochastic semigroup generated by the matrix $k\,\, L_k + k\,\, V_k$, where $k\,\, L_k $ is the infinifesimal generator of $\{X_k(t),\,t\geq 0\}$. From the continuous time Perron's Theorem one can normalized such semigroup, and, then we get another stochastic semigroup which generates a continuous time Markov Chain taking values on $Γ_k$. The stationary probability vector for such Markov Chain is denoted by $π_{k,V}$. We assume that the maximum of $V$ is attained in a unique point $x_0$ of $\mathbb{S}^1$, and from this will follow that $π_{k,V}\to δ_{x_0}$. Our main goal is to analyze the large deviation principle for the family $π_{k,V}$, when $k \to\infty$. The deviation function $I^V$, which is defined on $ \mathbb{S}^1$, will be obtained from a procedure based on fixed points of the Lax-Oleinik operator and Aubry-Mather theory.

description: A $Σ$-construction of Solovay is extended to the case of intermediate sets which are not necessarily subsets of the ground model, with a more transparent description of the resulting forcing notion than in the classical paper of Grigorieff. As an application, we prove that, for a given name $t$ (not necessarily a name of a subset of the ground model), the set of all sets of the form $t[G]$ (the $G$-interpretation of $t$), $G$ being generic over the ground model, is Borel. This result was first established by Zapletal by a descriptive set theoretic argument.

description: Polycarbonate and stainless steel are commonly used cage body materials for laboratory rodents. The aim of this study was to assess preference of rats for the cage material. Altogether 64 male rats were used, 32 in two different facilities. The study cages were made of either stainless steel with a polycarbonate false inner half (Kuopio) or polycarbonate with a steel false inner half (Oulu). There were four different options for alignment of false cage halves and food hopper, and likewise two options for which end of the cage faced the wall. A video camera with time lapse recording of one second each minute was used. Weekly recording started at 16.00 and ended at 01.30, and each cage was recorded when the rats were aged four, five, six. seven and eight weeks, The results were processed separately for both facilities and for day and night. Statistical analysis was done with ANOVA using alignment of food hopper to false inner cage half and direction to the wall as the main effects during the daytime the location of the rats in nontransparent steel body cages is largely governed by the light intensity created by cage walls and hopper, but stainless steel was clearly preferred in three of four possible combinations. During the night the element of tight direction became less important, but again hopper and steel combination was more attractive than the hopper and polycarbonate combination. In polyearbonate cages with false steel inner half cages: the light intensity difference had a less prominent role. However, during the day, placing the feed hopper with steel was preferred. During the night, the even distribution was indicative of a slight preference to the familiar wall material, polycarbonate. In conclusion, in both study sites stainless steel was favored in 3 out 4 possible combinations during the day, During the dark, when transparency of the material was less critical, animals accustomed to a stainless steel cages preferred steel over polycarbonate, but for animals raised in polycarbonate cages neither steel nor polycarbonate was favored.

description: Augmented reality (AR) technology has provided museum visitors with more immersive experiences, but it has yet to reach its full potential for the conservators and historians who craft the exhibits and protect their cultural heritage. In this paper, we propose ConservatAR, an ongoing project that assists sculpture conservation in AR with physical simulation and data visualization. ConservatAR employs two techniques: a static analysis to predict tipping vulnerabilities for homogeneous sculptures, as well as a dynamic analysis for tipping detection and impact visualization of cracked and non-homogeneous sculptures during a user-controlled collapse. Formative user studies with conservators from the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston evaluate the usability and efficacy of our techniques, providing valuable insight on how AR can be best applied to art conservation.

description: The V-Horus Project aims to reconstruct archaeological artefacts using digital technologies and to visualize them in an immersive experience in Virtual Reality. The focus of the project has been the reconstruction and 3D visualization of artefacts from the Egyptian collection of the National Museum of Brazil, in Rio de Janeiro, many of them destroyed in the fire in 2018. In this article, the multidisciplinary development process of the virtual reconstruction of a mummy from the roman period (30 BC to 395 AD) and the partcipants'immersive experience are reported. The results show that this experiment, which explores techniques of virtual reality, digital reconstruction, gaming, and immersive narrative expands the possibilities of visualization and groupings of artefacts in a museum; manages to engage the public; and has great symbolic value in enabling the digital reconstruction of destroyed objects of the collection

description: The majority of animal models in antifungal tests use systemic infection and mortality and survival of infected animals as the experimental end—point. We developed a murine model of localised eandidiasis (murine myeotic mastitis) and assessed its effectiveness through infection with Candida albicans followed by intraperitoneal administration of the antifungal drugs flunazole (FLU) and amphotericin B (AmB). Lactating BALB/cJ mice at day 5 post partum were inoculated (two glands) with a high dose of a human pathogenic C. albicans wild-type strain SC5314. Animals were treated immediately after infection with either FLU or AmB intraperitoneally for 4 days and euthanized by intracardiae exsanguination and cervical dislocation following anaesthesia with a mixture of Ketamine arid Xylazine. One infected gland was fixed in formalin and examined histopathologically and the other was homogenised for quantitative fungal cultures. There were severe changes in the untreated control animals (some animals had systemic candidiasis) compared to the treatment groups which had milder lesions. Fungal burden, determined as log [colony forming units (CFU)/g of mammary gland tissue], was similar in the untreated control group (n = 10) and FLU treated group (n = 6). However, there was significantly lower CFU/g in the mammary glands in AmB treated animals (n : 6) compared to both control and FLU treated animals (p < 0.05). The results indicate that AmB is more effective in prevention of murine mycotic mastitis than FLU and that the murine mycotic mastitis model may be an attractive animal model for antifungal chemotherapy studies.

description: Fomalhaut is one of the most interesting and well studied nearby stars, hosting at least one planet, a spectacular debris ring, and two distant low-mass stellar companions (TW PsA and LP 876-10, a.k.a. Fomalhaut B & C). We observed both companions with Herschel, and while no disc was detected around the secondary, TW PsA, we have discovered the second debris disc in the Fomalhaut system, around LP 876-10. This detection is only the second case of two debris discs seen in a multiple system, both of which are relatively wide ($\gtrsim$3000 AU for HD 223352/40 and 158 kAU [0.77 pc] for Fomalhaut/LP 876-10). The disc is cool (24K) and relatively bright, with a fractional luminosity $L_{\rm disc}/L_\star = 1.2 \times 10^{-4}$, and represents the rare observation of a debris disc around an M dwarf. Further work should attempt to find if the presence of two discs in the Fomalhaut system is coincidental, perhaps simply due to the relatively young system age of 440 Myr, or if the stellar components have dynamically interacted and the system is even more complex than it currently appears.

description: Web services technology provides a platform on which we can develop distributed services. The interoperability among these services is achieved by various standard protocols. In recent years, several researches suggested that process algebras provide a satisfactory assistance to the whole process of web services development. Business transactions, on the other hand, involve the coordination and interaction between multiple partners. With the emergence of web services, business transactions are conducted using these services. The coordination among the business processes is crucial, so is the handling of faults that can arise at any stage of a transaction. BPEL models the behavior of business process interaction by providing a XML based grammar to describe the control logic required to coordinate the web services participating in a process flow. However BPEL lacks a proper formal description where the composition of business processes cannot be formally verified. Process algebra, on the other hand, facilitates a formal foundation for rigorous verification of the composition. This paper presents a comparison of web service composition between BPEL and process algebra, cCSP.

description: ''Ernst Grube - The Legacy'' is an immersive Virtual Reality documentary about the life of Ernst Grube, one of the last German Holocaust survivors. From interviews conducted inside a volumetric capture studio, dynamic full-body reconstructions of both, the contemporary witness and its interviewer, are recovered. The documentary places them in virtual recreations of historical sites and viewers experience the interviews with unconstrained motion. As a step towards the documentary's production, prior work presents reconstruction results for one interview. However, the quality is unsatisfying and does not meet the requirements of the historical context. In this paper, we take the next step and revise the used volumetric reconstruction pipeline. We show that our improvements to depth estimation and a new depth map fusion method lead to a more robust reconstruction process and that our revised pipeline produces high-quality volumetric assets. By integrating one of our assets into a virtual scene, we provide a first impression of the documentary's look and the convincing appearance of protagonists in the virtual environment.

description: We present the WCCR10 data set of ten ligand dissociation energies of large cationic transition metal complexes for the assessment of approximate exchange--correlation functionals. We analyze nine popular functionals, namely BP86, BP86-D3, B3LYP, B3LYP-D3, B97-D-D2, PBE, TPSS, PBE0, and TPSSh by mutual comparison and by comparison to experimental gas-phase data measured with well-known precision. The comparison of all calculated data reveals a large, system-dependent scattering of results with nonnegligible consequences for computational chemistry studies on transition metal compounds. Considering further the comparison with experiment, the non-empirical functionals PBE and TPSS turn out to be among the best functionals for our reference data set. The deviation can be lowered further by including Hartree--Fock exchange. Accordingly, PBE0 and TPSSh are the two most accurate functionals for our test set, but also these functionals exhibit deviations from experiment by up to 50 kJ/mol for individual reactions. As an important result we found no functional to be reliable for all reactions. Furthermore, for some of the ligand dissociation energies studied in this work, dispersion corrections yield results which increase the deviation from experiment. This deviation increases further if structure optimization including dispersion corrections is performed. Finally, we compare our results to other benchmark studies and highlight that the performance assessed for different density functionals depends significantly on the reference molecule set chosen.

Education Virtual Heritage Serious Game

description: Serious games are very used educational tools that are proposed as entertainment games but with educational elements within them. Their focus is to create a practical and enjoyable learning experience using the latest innovative technologies such as human-computer interaction and 3D visualization systems. We use these two technologies to develop a 3D puzzle game where the users have to reconstruct ancient historical artifacts by using their hands tracked through the Leap Motion controller. The game has incremental difficulty and will test users in increasingly demanding challenges by proposing experiential learning, trying to impress in their minds the information contained in the game through the feeling during the gameplay by implementing the "Learning by doing" concept. Finally, we designed a controlled experiment to evaluate the sentiment, user experience, usability, and effectiveness of our tool, which will be carried out in future developments.
