description: Traditional dual fluid gasification enables a favorable product gas comprising hydrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and methane. This paper focus on Sorption Enhanced Reforming combined with Oxyfuel combustion, which constitutes an additional opportunity for CO2 sequestration. First experimental results in the test plants at TU Wien (100 kW) and at University Stuttgart (200 kW) have been implemented. Based on these results, the functionality of OxySER could be demonstrated and a concept for the commercial-scale use is developed. Furthermore, the profitability of OxySER, by application in a raw iron production plant for the generation of reduction gas, within a techno-economic assessment is investigated. The results of the techno-economic assessment show that the production of reduction gas via Sorption Enhanced Reforming in combination with Oxyfuel combustion can definitely compete with the natural gas route. The biggest potential to increase the profitability of the OxySER process offers the use of low-grade fuels like bark or sugarcane bagasse to decrease the fuel costs, which is the main cost driver.
EHDEN - D1.3 - RMM Effectiveness testing methods

description: Once a drug has been approved for use, regulatory authorities can introduce risk minimisation measures (RMM) to ensure and improve the safe use of a product. Typical examples of RMM include changes in the conditions of marketing authorisation and/or changes in the conditions of use or label characteristics. Evaluating the impact of such regulatory measures is needed to measure immediate as well as long-term effects on drug uptake and use in the community. Observational data are routinely used to assess the effectiveness of such RMMs. However, a recent study by the EMA (1) found that registries that are commonly required for post-marketing purposes frequently experience delays. Making use of existing multinational European data sources through EHDEN has the potential to speed data processing because of the standardization, hence accelerating such studies. In this work, the prototype of an RMM effectiveness testing tool has been developed. It enables users to apply a range of time-series change detection methods to a) determine the effect of known interventions/changes, and b) to detect plausible changes, in a data-driven manner. The tool is available in the form of a user-friendly, interactive web application. Users, such as regulators, can select the time- series, methods, and interventions of interest and view the results of the RMM test in real-time. A demo is included showing the changes over time in the use of drug for covid-19 treatment.

description: In this paper, we initiate a first information-theoretic study on multilevel NAND flash memory channels with intercell interference. More specifically, for a multilevel NAND flash memory channel under mild assumptions, we first prove that such a channel is indecomposable and it features asymptotic equipartition property; we then further prove that stationary processes achieve its information capacity, and consequently, as its order tends to infinity, its Markov capacity converges to its information capacity; eventually, we establish that its operational capacity is equal to its information capacity. Our results suggest that it is highly plausible to apply the ideas and techniques in the computation of the capacity of finite-state channels, which are relatively better explored, to that of the capacity of multilevel NAND flash memory channels.

description: We show that the electromagnetic quantum vacuum plays a primary role in gravitation and cosmology. - Photons are local oscillations of the electromagnetic vacuum field guided by a non-local vector potential wave function - The vacuum electric permittivity and magnetic permeability are intrinsic properties of the electromagnetic vacuum. - We show that the electron-positron elementary charge derive naturally from the electromagnetic quantum vacuum - The masses of all particles (leptons, mesons, baryons) and antiparticles are manifestations of the elementary charges and their corresponding magnetic moments. - The gravitation constant G is also related directly to the electromagnetic quantum vacuum putting in evidence the electromagnetic nature of gravity. We show that G is the same for matter and antimatter but gravitational forces appear to be repulsive between particles and antiparticles since their masses bear opposite signs. - Dark Energy and Dark Matter might originate from the electromagnetic quantum vacuum fluctuations. The calculated vacuum energy density, related to the cosmological constant considered responsible for the cosmic acceleration, is in good agreement with the astrophysical observations. - Under these conditions, the electromagnetic quantum vacuum might constitute the physical basis for a unified field theory.

description: A command system for manual control of the longitudinal load factor in flight path direction of an aircraft is designed that completes existing flight control command systems (e.g. with sidesticks that command normal load factor). The system is called nxControl. It aims to assist pilots during manual flight by reducing the workload for monitoring flight parameters as well as for controlling thrust and airbrakes. Important for the nxControl concept is the direct flight mechanical relation between longitudinal load factor and changes of the total aircraft energy. This paper presents the system concept and a prototype realization. The nxControl system consists of the control law that combines the actuation commands for engines and airbrakes, a new input device for the longitudinal load factor command and augmented display elements informing pilots about aircraft energy states to assure situation awareness. In order to investigate the feasibility of the concept as well as to evaluate consequences on human performance, a flight simulator study with airline pilots was conducted. The nxControl prototype was used by the pilots as expected. Changes in instrument scanning behaviour and thrust lever usage confirmed this. After just a short familiarization and practice, the pilots were able to perform standard flight tasks with nxControl without exceeding given tolerance limits. So, the results provide first evidence for the feasibility of the concept.

description: En el tercer módulo del Diplomado Claves en comunicación y periodismo contra las violencias basadas en género los y las estudiantes comprenderán cuáles han sido las narrativas y el lenguaje que han predominado en las prácticas periodísticas, así como la imperante necesidad de transformarlos. Además, aprenderán estrategias que les permitirán relatar historias relacionadas con las mujeres siguiendo buenas prácticas periodísticas y evitando el uso de un lenguaje sexista. Puesto que durante mucho tiempo los medios de comunicación han presentado de manera limitada los roles de las mujeres y han contribuido a difundir estereotipos de género. Por ello, es necesario reconsiderar las narrativas y el lenguaje utilizados para abordar temas relacionados con las mujeres. De igual forma, es esencial evaluar cuáles de esas narrativas necesitan cambios, y proponer formatos que ayuden a visibilizar a las mujeres desde sus derechos, sin discriminación y desde los roles no tradicionales. Finalmente, también encontrarán algunas recomendaciones para investigar y contar las historias relacionadas con las Violencias Basadas en Género (VBG), con el propósito de no revictimizar y usar el lenguaje adecuado en el momento de narrar estos hechos.

description: Abstract Background DNA hypermethylation events and other epimutations occur in many neoplasms, producing gene expression changes that contribute to neoplastic transformation, tumorigenesis, and tumor behavior. Some human cancers exhibit a hypermethylator phenotype, characterized by concurrent DNA methylation-dependent silencing of multiple genes. To determine if a hypermethylation defect occurs in breast cancer, the expression profile and promoter methylation status of methylation-sensitive genes were evaluated among breast cancer cell lines. Results The relationship between gene expression (assessed by RT-PCR and quantitative real-time PCR), promoter methylation (assessed by methylation-specific PCR, bisulfite sequencing, and 5-aza-2'deoxycytidine treatment), and the DNA methyltransferase machinery (total DNMT activity and expression of DNMT1, DNMT3a, and DNMT3b proteins) were examined in 12 breast cancer cell lines. Unsupervised cluster analysis of the expression of 64 methylation-sensitive genes revealed two groups of cell lines that possess distinct methylation signatures: (i) hypermethylator cell lines, and (ii) low-frequency methylator cell lines. The hypermethylator cell lines are characterized by high rates of concurrent methylation of six genes (CDH1, CEACAM6, CST6, ESR1, LCN2, SCNN1A), whereas the low-frequency methylator cell lines do not methylate these genes. Hypermethylator cell lines coordinately overexpress total DNMT activity and DNMT3b protein levels compared to normal breast epithelial cells. In contrast, most low-frequency methylator cell lines possess DNMT activity and protein levels that are indistinguishable from normal. Microarray data mining identified a strong cluster of primary breast tumors that express the hypermethylation signature defined by CDH1, CEACAM6, CST6, ESR1, LCN2, and SCNN1A. This subset of breast cancers represents 18/88 (20%) tumors in the dataset analyzed, and 100% of these tumors were classified as basal-like, suggesting that the hypermethylator defect cosegregates with poor prognosis breast cancers. Conclusion These observations combine to strongly suggest that: (a) a subset of breast cancer cell lines express a hypermethylator phenotype, (b) the hypermethylation defect in these breast cancer cell lines is related to aberrant overexpression of DNMT activity, (c) overexpression of DNMT3b protein significantly contributes to the elevated DNMT activity observed in tumor cells expressing this phenotype, and (d) the six-gene hypermethylator signature characterized in breast cancer cell lines defines a distinct cluster of primary basal-like breast cancers.

Recent studies have explored the influence of several factors on mask-wearing behaviour (e.g. political orientation and gender) but have yet to examine the role of domain-specific science knowledge. This cross-sectional study intends to investigate whether scientific knowledge about face masks is a strong and unique predictor of mask-wearing behaviour among UK and US residents.

The theory of Hawking radiation in laboratory analogues

Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: Hawking radiation, despite being known to theoretical physics for nearly forty years, remains elusive and undetected. It also suffers, in its original context of gravitational black holes, from practical and conceptual difficulties. Of particular note is the trans-Planckian problem, which is concerned with the apparent origin of the radiation in absurdly high frequencies. In order to gain better theoretical understanding and, it is hoped, experimental verification of Hawking radiation, much study is being devoted to laboratory systems which use moving media to model the spacetime geometry of black holes, and which, by analogy, are also thought to emit Hawking radiation. These analogue systems typically exhibit dispersion, which regularizes the wave behaviour at the horizon at the cost of a more complicated theoretical framework. This tutorial serves as an introduction to Hawking radiation and its analogues, developing the moving medium analogy for black holes and demonstrating how dispersion can be incorporated into this generalized framework.

description: Through the dual fluidized bed (DFB) steam gasification process, solid feedstock can be converted into a nitrogen-free product gas. Thereby, the DFB steam gasification offers a wellproven technology to produce heat, electricity, secondary liquid or gaseous energy carriers and valuable chemicals from wood as feedstock. DFB steam gasification was demonstrated for the gasification of wood at industrial scale between 8-32 MW fuel power at several sites. However, some of these plants suffered from difficult economic conditions if high-grade wood chips or even pellets were used as solid fuel. During the last years, a main research topic has been the utilization of low-cost residual and waste derived feedstocks. Therefore, a fuel flexible advanced reactor design was developed and constructed with 100 kW fuel power at TU Wien and tested since 2014. On the one hand, utilizing residues and waste fractions as feedstock provides a high potential to produce energy carriers, or commodities in a sustainable, ecofriendly and economic way. On the other hand, these feedstocks often have challenging fuel properties for thermo-chemical conversion processes. Although, various feedstocks were already tested at 100 kW fuel power, further investigations need to be done to prove or disprove operation stability at long-term test runs. For this reason, a scale-up to 1 MW fuel power is suggested to further study the long-term behavior of selected promising feedstock. The aim of this study is to provide design data for a basic engineering and to calculate key indicating parameters of a 1 MW fuel flexible plant.

description: Abstract Background Pharmacologic treatments are efficacious in reducing post-myocardial infarction (MI) morbidity and mortality. The potential influence of socioeconomic factors on the receipt of pharmacologic therapy has not been systematically examined, even though healthcare utilization likely influences morbidity and mortality post-MI. This study aims to investigate the association between socioeconomic factors and receipt of evidence-based treatments post-MI in a community surveillance setting. Methods We evaluated the association of census tract-level neighborhood household income (nINC) and Medicaid coverage with pharmacologic treatments (aspirin, beta [β]-blockers and angiotensin converting enzyme [ACE] inhibitors; optimal therapy, defined as receipt of two or more treatments) received during hospitalization or at discharge among 9,608 MI events in the ARIC community surveillance study (1993-2002). Prevalence ratios (PR, 95% CI), adjusted for the clustering of hospitalized MI events within census tracts and within patients, were estimated using Poisson regression. Results Seventy-eight percent of patients received optimal therapy. Low nINC was associated with a lower likelihood of receiving β-blockers (0.93, 0.87-0.98) and a higher likelihood of receiving ACE inhibitors (1.13, 1.04-1.22), compared to high nINC. Patients with Medicaid coverage were less likely to receive aspirin (0.92, 0.87-0.98), compared to patients without Medicaid coverage. These findings were independent of other key covariates. Conclusions nINC and Medicaid coverage may be two of several socioeconomic factors influencing the complexities of medical care practice patterns.
Cognitive remediation in Schizophrenia: Improving our theoretical understandings and translation into practice

description: Cognitive Remediation is a well-known learning-based, cognitive skills training intervention that has been found to be effective in improving cognitive, psychosocial and occupational functioning in psychiatric populations. Over the years, Cognitive Remediation has emerged as a measurable, affordable, and dynamic approach to treatment in schizophrenia, with a large literature base to support its effectiveness. While there is a robust research literature that has been conducted internationally, this field is still developing in many countries. Thus, the broad aim of this thesis was to explore the efficacy of Cognitive Remediation in augmenting psychosocial, occupational and cognition outcomes, and evaluate its application to real world functioning, in an Australian psychiatric population. In addition to examining whether improvements could be made to an existing Cognitive Remediation package by developing visual training modules.
 Two main investigations were conducted. The primary aim of the first proposed research was to determine whether Cognitive Remediation is beneficial for jobseekers with severe mental illness participating in a vocational assisted program. Outcomes of this pilot revealed improved occupational, psychosocial and cognitive factors, yet work participation was less promising than expected. This information was consistent with the thematic content provided by individuals enrolled in the research.
 A second study was designed to examine whether we could improve the efficacy of an existing Cognitive Remediation package. We aimed to do this by completing a randomized controlled pilot study, using a set of novel visual processing training modules in addition to standard Cognitive Remediation compared with just standard Cognitive Remediation. Neurocognitive and psychological assessments were used to assess the effectiveness of this domain-specific visual-processing Cognitive Remediation program, which we called Visual Processing Training (VPT). No overall neurocognitive differences were observed between participants who experienced the VPT and those who did not. Both groups showed cognitive and psychosocial improvements, which concurred with qualitative data.
 This thesis is noteworthy as it contains a comprehensive set of subjective data on Cognitive Remediation in Australia. The findings highlight that Cognitive Remediation training is positively experienced by participants, as well as improving cognitive and intrinsic functioning. This data can be used to develop guidelines to improve Cognitive Remediation practice. Implications of our findings are discussed in terms of clinical, theoretical and translational elements.

description: Abstract: Background: Our previous research (Pediatrics 2010:126) found a strong association between caregiver oral health literacy (OHL) and children’s oral health status; however, we found a weak association with oral health behaviors (OHBs). We hypothesize that this may be due to social desirability bias (SDB). Our objectives were to compare caregivers’ responses to traditional OHB items and newer SDB-modulating items, and to examine the association of caregiver literacy with OHBs. Methods: We performed a cross-sectional study of 102 caregiver-child dyads, collecting data for OHBs using both traditional and new SDB-modulating items. We measured OHL using REALD-30, a validated word recognition test. We relied upon percent agreement and Cohen’s kappa (k) to quantify the concordance in caregivers’ responses and multivariate log-binomial regression to estimate the impact of OHL on OHBs. Results: Caregivers’ mean REALD-30 score was 20.7 (SD = 6.0), range 1-30. We found an association between OHL and 4 of 8 OHBs examined. A subset of behavior questions compared traditional versus SDB-modulating items: history of bottle-feeding: agreement = 95%, k = 0.83 (95% CL:0.68,0.99); daily tooth brushing: agreement = 78%, k = 0.25 (95% CL:0.04,0.46); fluoridated toothpaste use: agreement = 88%, k = 0.67 (95% CL:0.49,0.85). After controlling for caregivers’ race, marital status and study site, higher literacy scores remained associated with a decreased prevalence of parental report of “decided not brush the child’s teeth because it would be frustrating”. Conclusions: Agreement between responses was high for 2 of 3 behavior items. Item 3 (tooth brushing frequency) revealed discordance, likely due to SDB. Use of the SDB-modulating items appears to yield a better estimate of OHB.

description: To improve the efficiency of wireless data communications, new physical-layer transmission methods based on known-interference cancellation (KIC) have been developed. These methods share the common idea that the interference can be cancelled when the content of it is known. Existing work on KIC mainly focuses on single-hop or two-hop networks, with physical-layer network coding (PNC) and full-duplex (FD) communications as typical examples. This paper extends the idea of KIC to general multi-hop networks, and proposes an end-to-end KIC (E2E-KIC) transmission method together with its MAC design. With E2E-KIC, multiple nodes in a flow passing through a few nodes in an arbitrary topology can simultaneously transmit and receive on the same channel. We first present a theoretical analysis on the effectiveness of E2E-KIC in an idealized case. Then, to support E2E-KIC in multi-hop networks with arbitrary topology, we propose an E2E-KIC-supported MAC protocol (E2E-KIC MAC), which is based on an extension of the Request-to-Send/Clear-to-Send (RTS/CTS) mechanism in the IEEE 802.11 MAC. We also analytically analyze the performance of the proposed E2E-KIC MAC in the presence of hidden terminals. Simulation results illustrate that the proposed E2E-KIC MAC protocol can improve the network throughput and reduce the end-to-end delay.

The WP is implementing use cases to apply the developed methods in close collaboration with WP1 “Evidence Workflow Development” and WP5 “Data Workflow Implementation and Service Deployment”. The goal of these use cases is to drive the development of the analytical pipelines and their adoption. Many use cases have already been described in previous WP3 deliverables ahead of the schedule as described in the Description of Action (DoA). In this deliverable on the implementation of selected use cases we briefly describe additional use cases that are being executed. This work falls under Task 3.5 “Implementation of selected use cases in the data network” (M6-M60).

We prove that, on a suitably chosen sequence of time slices at this scaling, there is a decomposition of the map, up to an error with asymptotically vanishing energy, into a decoupled sum of rescaled solitons concentrating in the interior of the light cone and a term having asymptotically vanishing energy dispersion norm, concentrating on the null boundary and converging to a constant locally in the interior of the cone, in the energy space.

Everyday life and energy demand during UK greenfield and urban music festivals

description: Environmental sustainability at music festivals has been a focus of both academic and industry concern in recent years. However, work to improve sustainability, and address carbon emissions arising from energy demand at festivals, has predominantly focused upon the quantification of energy use at greenfield festivals and designing behaviour change interventions for festival organisers to implement. Rather than seeking to quantify the outcomes (energy use and carbon emissions) of what people do, I adopt a practice theory approach in order to open up new areas for consideration and ask questions about the composition of music festivals and the dynamics of their energy demand that have been under- addressed or overlooked in existing work. I adopt a multi-methods approach, comprising interviews with people involved in organising and running music festivals, observations of two greenfield and three urban music festivals and research into secondary sources on the history of greenfield music festivals. I argue that everyday life at greenfield festivals is made up of varied, interconnected and dynamic social practices that have evolved through repeated performances both at and outside of festivals. I also demonstrate that materiality is central to the performance of these practices, arguing that it is crucial to understand the provisioning of materials as it sequences and recursively shapes the performance of everyday life practices. I also consider how the various material settings in which everyday life is enacted during music festivals also affects everyday life. Exploring how everyday life is lived during both UK greenfield and urban music festivals generates insights into how festival organisers attend to the energy demanding practices of festival-goers, resulting in disproportionate attention to the (un)sustainability of greenfield festivals. By investigating how energy use arises from the performance of everyday life practices, my research takes a step towards understanding the social embeddedness of the energy demand of music festivals. This indicates possible directions of change in the provision for and performances of practices at greenfield music festivals and points to the recursive relationships between different aspects of festival-goer and festival organiser provisioning and marketplace competition that are driving this change.

description: Abstract Background Osteoarthritis (OA) prevalence differs by race. General joint hypermobility (GJH) may be associated with OA, but differences by race are not known. This community-based study examined the frequency of GJH and its relationship with knee, hip, and lumbar spine OA by race (African American vs. Caucasian). Methods Data were from the Johnston County OA project, collected 2003–2010. GJH was defined as Beighton score ≥4. OA symptoms were defined as the presence of pain, aching, or stiffness on most days separately at the knee, hip, and lower back. Radiographic OA (rOA) of the knee or hip was defined as Kellgren-Lawrence grade 2–4. Lumbar spine rOA was disc space narrowing grade ≥1 and osteophyte grade ≥2 in ≥ 1 at the same lumbar level. Lumbar spine facet rOA was present in ≥ 1 lumbar levels. Separate logistic regression models stratified by race were used to examine the association between hypermobility and rOA or OA symptoms at each joint site, adjusting for age, sex, previous joint injury, and body mass index (BMI). Results Of 1987 participants, 1/3 were African-American and 2/3 were women (mean age 65 years, mean BMI 31 kg/m2). Nearly 8% of Caucasians were hypermobile vs. 5% of African-Americans (p = 0.03). Hypermobility was associated with lower back symptoms in Caucasians (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 1.54, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.00, 2.39), but not in African-Americans (aOR 0.77, 95% CI 0.34, 1.72). Associations between hypermobility and other knee, hip, or lumbar spine/facet OA variables were not statistically significant. Conclusions General joint hypermobility was more common in Caucasians than African-Americans. Although there were no associations between hypermobility and rOA, the association between hypermobility and lower back symptoms may differ by race.

description: We study the behaviour of double-stranded RNA under twist and tension using oxRNA, a recently developed coarse-grained model of RNA. Introducing explicit salt-dependence into the model allows us to directly compare our results to data from recent single-molecule experiments. The model reproduces extension curves as a function of twist and stretching force, including the buckling transition and the behaviour of plectoneme structures. For negative supercoiling, we predict denaturation bubble formation in plectoneme end-loops, suggesting preferential plectoneme localisation in weak base sequences. OxRNA exhibits a positive twist-stretch coupling constant, in agreement with recent experimental observations.

description: The goal of WP3 “Personalized Medicine” is to establish a standardized process to enable personalized decision-making that can be utilized for multiple outcomes of interest and can be applied to observational healthcare data from any patient subpopulation. In the first report (D3.2) on the implementation of the analytical pipeline for personalized medicine, we introduced the analytical pipelines for Patient-Level Prediction and Population-Level Effect Estimation. Furthermore, we discussed our initial work for the development of a pipeline for Risk Stratified Effect Estimation to assess heterogeneity of treatment effect. In the second report (D3.4) we provided an update on the work done in the second year, including heterogeneity of treatment effect (HTE), and disease trajectory analyses. That deliverable included an overview of use cases in which the analytical pipelines have been applied and described the advances made in methodological research, the start of a natural language processing pipeline, and work done to develop a pipeline for disease trajectories. In this third report we introduce new additional analytical tools and provide a further update on the methodological research. This work falls under Task 3.2. “Development of an integrated patient-level prediction pipeline” (M6-M60), Task 3.3 “Development of an integrated risk-effect estimation pipeline” (M6-M60), and Task 3.4 “Development of a pipeline for disease trajectory analysis” (M12-M36).

description: Perspective article on why Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder (DMDD) versus Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) should be understood as reactive versus proactive aggression, respectively. Such a perspective will narrow the gap between research and diagnostic definitions/clinical practice. Also, a lot of research efforts could be saved by building on established phenomena in this way, as well as moving forward the DSM-5/ICD-11 debate on these disorders. Most importantly, this recognition of DMDD and ODD as reactive versus proactive aggression could make us take giant leaps in developing appropriate treatments for these children.
