description: Historically, basin and petroleum system modeling has mainly focused on understanding the burial and thermal history of sedimentary rocks as well as related hydrocarbon generation from kerogen (sedimentary organic matter) in source rocks; much less studies treated hydrocarbon migration and accumulation in great detail, although it is of uttermost importance for petroleum exploration and production. New 2D and 3D basin models in different parts of the Persian Gulf indicate the variable complexity of hydrocarbon migration in this region. A complex migration pattern including sequential filling, spilling and refilling of the structures are assumed for the northern part of the basin, whereas in the southern part simple lateral migration over distances of hundreds of kilometers is reasonable. Besides geometry of the basin, tectonic evolution of structural highs and facies variations are the controlling parameters on the direction of hydrocarbon migration and accumulation in the northern part. While there is a presumably minor effects of the fault systems on the burial and thermal history, their role as hydrocarbon conduits and therefore controlling the hydrocarbon accumulation and geochemical properties are of great importance. The results provide key information on charge history and understanding of the Cretaceous-Tertiary petroleum systems and genetic distribution of oil families in the Persian Gulf. It also reveals the possible causes of exploration failures and hints for future hydrocarbon exploration potential.
title: Critical Minerals in US Geothermal Brines: Opportunities and Challenges for their Extraction
Creators: name:  Neupane ,  Ghanashyam
Publisher: name: Deutsche Geologische Gesellschaft - Geologische Vereinigung e.V. (DGGV)
Year: 2021

description: Geothermal power plants produce a large volume of brine for power generation. Since these brines are the product of long-term water-rock interactions at elevated temperatures at depth, they contain dissolved chemical components including critical and strategic mineral commodities at various concentrations. Despite the low concentrations for many of these minerals, significant quantities of select minerals could be recovered due to the large volumes of brine utilized by geothermal power plants. Over the years, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Geothermal Technologies Office (GTO) has been funding research activities focusing on characterization of brine resources and development of extraction technologies for the rare earth elements, lithium, and other critical minerals from geothermal brines. The primary goal of the GTO’s efforts is to secure domestic sources for these critical materials as well as provide an additional revenue stream to the geothermal developers and make geothermal energy more competitive against other types of renewable energy. Our assessment of the US geothermal brines for their mineral contents indicates that several mineral commodities (e.g., Li, Mn, SiO2, etc.) are present in high enough concentrations and sufficient flow rates to be economically recovered from geothermal brines. In this presentation, we will provide a summary for mineral contents in geothermal brines in the US. Also we will provide a summary of past as well as current mineral extraction status, opportunities, and challenges for the commercial-scale deployment of mineral extraction technologies.

description: Introduction: Sarcopenia, defined by a progressive and generalized loss of muscle mass and muscle function, is associated with many harmful clinical consequences. Several studies have reported the impact of sarcopenia on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) using generic quality of life (QoL) questionnaires. The results of these observational studies are quite heterogenous. Indeed, generic tools may not be able to detect subtle effects of sarcopenia on QoL. Recently, a sarcopenia-specific HRQoL questionnaire was developed and validated in a population of sarcopenic subjects to more accurately assess the impact of sarcopenia on QoL. Areas covered: The purpose of this review is to present evidence regarding the impact of sarcopenia on QoL and to introduce a new specific HRQoL questionnaire, the SarQoL®. Expert commentary: The self-administered SarQoL®, initially developed in French, comprises 55 items translated into 22 questions. The questionnaire has been shown to be understandable, valid, consistent, and reliable and can therefore be recommended for clinical and research purposes. The questionnaire is now available in 11 different languages with another 20 translations in progress. The instrument’s sensitivity to change still needs to be assessed in future longitudinal studies.

description: “Digital sedimentary petrology” models represent the microstructure of clastic rocks in 3D and use forward process models to simulate diagenesis in response to evolving burial conditions. This modeling approach predicts textures and morphologies that can be readily compared with natural samples and laboratory experiments. These models are useful tools for studying diagenetic processes and also are designed to predict rock microstructure in undrilled areas of the subsurface. Digital petrology models are natural counterparts to “digital rock physics” models that use rock microstructure as input when simulating a broad array of fluid transport and geomechanical properties. Linking these models extends digital rock physics models beyond assessment of rock properties based on scans of physical samples to predicting rock properties in undrilled portions of the subsurface. Applications of this coupled modeling approach includes hydrocarbon and geothermal energy exploration and production, CO2 sequestration, hydrogen and compressed air storage, wastewater injection, and groundwater studies. Our work to date on the development of the Cyberstone™ digital sedimentary petrology model involves simulation of sediment deposition, grain rearrangement, mechanical compaction, chemical compaction (pressure solution as well as temperature dependent contact dissolution resulting from chemical corrosion), and growth of various cement types with various morphologies. Although the system was developed for clastic sedimentary rocks, we also have found it to be a useful tool for simulation of the evolution in fluid flow and geomechanical properties of evaporite rubble associated with the collapse of a chamber in a salt dome that is being used for nuclear waste disposal.

Nonlinear blind source separation exploiting spatial nonstationarity

Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: Methodology (stat.ME)

description: In spatial blind source separation the observed multivariate random fields are assumed to be mixtures of latent spatially dependent random fields. The objective is to recover latent random fields by estimating the unmixing transformation. Currently, the algorithms for spatial blind source separation can only estimate linear unmixing transformations. Nonlinear blind source separation methods for spatial data are scarce. In this paper we extend an identifiable variational autoencoder that can estimate nonlinear unmixing transformations to spatially dependent data and demonstrate its performance for both stationary and nonstationary spatial data using simulations. In addition, we introduce scaled mean absolute Shapley additive explanations for interpreting the latent components through nonlinear mixing transformation. The spatial identifiable variational autoencoder is applied to a geochemical dataset to find the latent random fields, which are then interpreted by using the scaled mean absolute Shapley additive explanations. Finally, we illustrate how the proposed method can be used as a pre-processing method when making multivariate predictions.

description: In adults, network integration of The Allostatic interoceptive brain network (AIN) has been associated with regulation and awareness of visceral states (Kleckner et al 2018; Zhang et al 2023). Adolescence is a time when connectivity in key subnetworks of the AIN increases, and when emotions become more turbulent. There is initial evidence that in early adolescence, AIN global efficiency at rest prospectively predicts the onset of depression (Frye et al. in prep). However, it is unknown to what extent individual differences in constructs such as emotional clarity or emotional attention might also contribute to this relationship. We hypothesize that greater AIN global efficiency in adolescents will predict greater emotional clarity and attention which, in turn, will predict lesser emotional dysregulation. To test this hypothesis, we will use data collected from 117 adolescents (Mage= 12.88, SD= 0.49) who completed a resting state fMRI scan and self-reported measures of emotional expertise (i.e., emotional clarity and attention), and several measures of emotional experience, including emotional reactivity and depression. Results promise to expand our knowledge about the role of AIN network connectivity and other important individual difference variables such as emotional attention and clarity in adolescents’ emotional experience.

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Lorentz Violation (LV) is posited as a possible relic effect of quantum gravity at low energy scales. The Standard-Model Extension provides an effective field-theoretic framework for examining possible deviations attributed to LV. With their high observational accuracy, pulsars serve as ideal laboratories for probing LV. In the presence of LV, both the spin precession of solitary pulsars and orbital dynamics of binary pulsars would undergo modifications. Observations of pulse profiles and times of arrival (TOAs) of pulses allow for an in-depth investigation of these effects, leading to the establishment of strict limits on LV coefficients. We revisit the project of limiting local LV with updated pulsar observations. We employ a new parameter estimation method and utilize state-of-the-art pulsar timing observation data and get new limits on 8 linear combinations of LV coefficients based on 25 tests from 12 different systems. Compared to previous limits from pulsars, precision has improved by a factor of two to three. Additionally, we explore prospects for further improvements from pulsars. Simulation results indicate that more observations of spin precession in solitary millisecond pulsars could significantly enhance the accuracy of spatial LV coefficients, potentially by three to four orders of magnitude. As observational data accumulate, pulsars are anticipated to increasingly contribute to the tests of LV.

description: This paper presents an analysis of the updated version of the Front-End Board (FEB) for the NectarCAM camera, developed for the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory (CTAO). The FEB is a critical component responsible for reading and converting signals from the camera's photo-multiplier tubes into digital data and generating module-level trigger signals. This study provides an overview of the design and performance of the new FEB version, including the use of an improved NECTAr3 chip with advanced features. The NECTAr3 chip contains a switched capacitor array for sampling signals at 1 GHz and a 12-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) for digitization upon receiving a trigger signal. The integration of the new NECTAr3 chip results in a significant reduction of NectarCAM's deadtime by an order of magnitude compared to the previous version. The paper also presents the results of laboratory testing, including measurements of timing performance, linearity, dynamic range, and deadtime, to characterize the new FEB's performance.

description: Quantum sensors leverage matter's quantum properties to enable measurements with unprecedented spatial and spectral resolution. Among these sensors, those utilizing nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond offer the distinct advantage of operating at room temperature. Nevertheless, signals received from NV centers are often complex, making interpretation challenging. This is especially relevant in low magnetic field scenarios, where standard approximations for modeling the system fail. Additionally, NV signals feature a prominent noise component. In this Letter, we present a signal-to-image deep learning model capable of automatically inferring the number of nuclear spins surrounding a NV sensor and the hyperfine couplings between the sensor and the nuclear spins. Our model is trained to operate effectively across various magnetic field scenarios, requires no prior knowledge of the involved nuclei, and is designed to handle noisy signals, leading to fast characterization of nuclear environments in real experimental conditions. With detailed numerical simulations, we test the performance of our model in scenarios involving varying numbers of nuclei, achieving an average error of less than $2\ \rm{kHz}$ in the estimated hyperfine constants.

FROM SILHOUETTE TO SOUL: INVESTIGATING THE DESIGN ELEMENTS THAT SHAPE CHARACTER APPEAL IN ANIMATION
Creators: name: Patankar, Sanjeevani Manoj
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2025
Subjects: classificationCode: 360502
subject: Computer gaming and animation

description: Animation is a powerful cinematic medium designed to visually tell stories through movement and expression. Central to its effectiveness is the concept of appeal, the visual and emotional qualities that make characters memorable and engaging. This thesis investigates the impact of six design elements on the overall perceived appeal of an animated character: facial and body proportions, exaggeration, color palette, costume design, silhouette, and skin tone. While advancements in character design and animation have a refined understanding of appeal, it remains unclear which specific traits are most impactful. To address this gap, 60 animated clips were created using two character rigs (one male, one female), each exhibiting one of three variations for each design element. Data was collected from 61 participants, who assessed the appeal of each character based on predefined criteria. A multifactor linear regression analysis revealed color palette as the most influential factor, followed by proportion, with skin tone being the least influential factor. While interaction effects between design elements were found to be statistically significant, their influence was minimal, suggesting each factor contributes independently to character appeal. Additionally, significant differences in appeal were found between specific characters, with the two female characters being rated significantly higher in appeal than their male counterparts. The findings of this thesis offer data-driven insights into how specific design choices shape audience perceptions of character appeal and contribute to a broader understanding of effective character design strategies while offering practical guidance for animators aiming to enhance viewer connection and engagement.

description: Supplementary information file for Facile microfluidic production of composite polymer core-shell microcapsules and crescent-shaped microparticles
Hypothesis: Core-shell microcapsules and crescent-shaped microparticles can be used as picolitre bioreactors for cell culture and microwells for cell trapping/immobilisation, respectively. Results: Monodisperse polylactic acid (PLA) core-shell microcapsules with a diameter above 200 lm, a shell thickness of 10 lm, and 96% water entrapment efficiency were produced by solvent evaporation from microfluidically generated W/O/W emulsion drops with core-shell structure, and used to encapsulate Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast cells in their aqueous cores. The morphological changes of the capsules stained with Nile red were studied over 14 days under different osmotic pressure and pH gradients. Findings: The shell retained its integrity under isotonic conditions, but buckling and particle crumbling occurred in a hypertonic solution. When the capsules containing 5 wt% aqueous Eudragit S 100 solution in the core were incubated in 10 4 M HCl solution, H+ diffused through the PLA film into the core causing an ionic gelation of the inner phase and its phase separation into polymer-rich and water-rich regions, due to the transition of Eudragit from a hydrophilic to hydrophobic state. Crescent-shaped composite microparticles with Eudragit cores and PLA shells were fabricated by drying core-shell microcapsules with gelled cores, due to the collapse of PLA shells encompassing water-rich crescent regions.

description: As the realm of spectral imaging applications extends its reach into the domains of mobile technology and augmented reality, the demands for compact yet high-fidelity systems become increasingly pronounced. Conventional methodologies, exemplified by coded aperture snapshot spectral imaging systems, are significantly limited by their cumbersome physical dimensions and form factors. To address this inherent challenge, diffractive optical elements (DOEs) have been repeatedly employed as a means to mitigate issues related to the bulky nature of these systems. Nonetheless, it's essential to note that the capabilities of DOEs primarily revolve around the modulation of the phase of light. Here, we introduce an end-to-end computational spectral imaging framework based on a polarization-multiplexed metalens. A distinguishing feature of this approach lies in its capacity to simultaneously modulate orthogonal polarization channels. When harnessed in conjunction with a neural network, it facilitates the attainment of high-fidelity spectral reconstruction. Importantly, the framework is intrinsically fully differentiable, a feature that permits the joint optimization of both the metalens structure and the parameters governing the neural network. The experimental results presented herein validate the exceptional spatial-spectral reconstruction performance, underscoring the efficacy of this system in practical, real-world scenarios. This innovative approach transcends the traditional boundaries separating hardware and software in the realm of computational imaging and holds the promise of substantially propelling the miniaturization of spectral imaging systems.

description: Binaural reproduction for headphone-based listening is an active research area due to its widespread use in evolving technologies such as augmented and virtual reality (AR and VR). On the one hand, these applications demand high quality spatial audio perception to preserve the sense of immersion. On the other hand, recording devices may only have a few microphones, leading to low-order representations such as first-order Ambisonics (FOA). However, first-order Ambisonics leads to limited externalization and spatial resolution. In this paper, a novel head-related transfer function (HRTF) preprocessing optimization loss is proposed, and is minimized using nonlinear programming. The new method, denoted iMagLS, involves the introduction of an interaural level difference (ILD) error term to the now widely used MagLS optimization loss for the lateral plane angles. Results indicate that the ILD error could be substantially reduced, while the HRTF magnitude error remains similar to that obtained with MagLS. These results could prove beneficial to the overall spatial quality of first-order Ambisonics, while other reproduction methods could also benefit from considering this modified loss.

description: For the perturbative model of a plane gravitational wave on a flat background of Minkowski space-time, electromagnetic radiation from a charged cloud in the field of a gravitational wave, detected by a remote observer, was found. It is shown that the charge density in the cloud does not change, and the radiation is generated by currents induced by the gravitational wave. The angular distribution of the radiation is obtained. If the refractive index of the cloud medium is greater than unity, Cherenkov-type radiation is generated.

description: Objective: The present study aimed at elucidating the influence of polymorphic stability of lipid excipients on the physicochemical characters of different solid lipid microparticles (SLM), with the focus on the alteration of protein distribution in SLM. Methods: Labeled lysozyme was incorporated into SLM prepared with different excipients, i.e. trimyristin (TG14), glyceryl distearate (GDS), and glyceryl monostearate (GMS), by water-oil-water (w/o/w) or solid-oil-water (s/o/w) method. The distribution of lysozyme in SLM and the release of the protein from SLM were evaluated by confocal laser scanning microscopy. The storage stability of SLM was characterized by HPLC, differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray powder diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy. Results: Lysozyme was displayed as small scattered domains inside GDS and GMS SLM, whereas it was incorporated in the core of TG14 SLM formulated by the w/o/w method or evenly distributed in TG14 SLM prepared by the s/o/w method. Stability study at 37 °C revealed that only TG14 SLM made by the w/o/w method was able to maintain the lysozyme amount both on the particle surface and released from the SLM. Elevated storage temperature induced polymorphic transition of lipids in GDS and GMS SLM, which was, however, not remarkable for the TG14 SLM. Conclusions: Lipid excipients and particle preparation methods were found to differently affect the lysozyme distribution in SLM, owning to varied storage stabilities of the lipids. The present study provides updated knowledge for rational development of lipid-based formulations for oral delivery of peptide or protein drugs.
Measurement and interpretation of same-sign $W$ boson pair production in association with two jets in $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV with the ATLAS detector

description: This paper presents the measurement of fiducial and differential cross sections for both the inclusive and electroweak production of a same-sign $W$-boson pair in association with two jets ($W^\pm W^\pm jj$) using 139 fb$^{-1}$ of proton-proton collision data recorded at a centre-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The analysis is performed by selecting two same-charge leptons, electron or muon, and at least two jets with large invariant mass and a large rapidity difference. The measured fiducial cross sections for electroweak and inclusive $W^\pm W^\pm jj$ production are $2.92 \pm 0.22\, \text{(stat.)} \pm 0.19\, \text{(syst.)}$ fb and $3.38 \pm 0.22\, \text{(stat.)} \pm 0.19\, \text{(syst.)}$ fb, respectively, in agreement with Standard Model predictions. The measurements are used to constrain anomalous quartic gauge couplings by extracting 95% confidence level intervals on dimension-8 operators. A search for doubly charged Higgs bosons $H^{\pm\pm}$ that are produced in vector-boson fusion processes and decay into a same-sign $W$ boson pair is performed. The largest deviation from the Standard Model occurs for an $H^{\pm\pm}$ mass near 450 GeV, with a global significance of 2.5 standard deviations.

description: Objectives: The objectives for this study were to examine the associations between metabolic biomarkers of obesity including insulin resistance, vascular dysfunction, systemic inflammation, genetic susceptibility and ultrasound proven gallstone disease or cholecystectomy in a population-based cross-sectional study. Material and methods: A total of 2650 participants were included, of whom 422 had gallstone disease. Associations between selected metabolic biomarkers and gallstone disease were estimated by multivariable logistic regression models and expressed as odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI). Results: Gallstone disease was associated with fasting glucose (OR 1.14, 95% CI [1.05;1.24]), fasting insulin (OR 1.03, 95% CI [1.01;1.05]), homeostasis model assessment insulin resistance (OR 1.18, 95% CI [1.02;1.36]), the metabolic syndrome (OR 1.51, 95% CI [1.16;1.96]), white blood cell count (OR 1.07, 95% CI [1.00;1.15]) and C-reactive protein (OR 1.03, 95% CI [1.01;1.05]). A tendency towards an association for soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor was also found (OR 1.08, 95% CI [0.99;1.18]). The MC4R(rs17782313) (OR 1.27, 95% CI [1.02;1.58]), MAP2K5(rs2241423) (OR 1.80, 95% CI [1.04;3.41]), NRXN3(rs10146997) (OR 1.26, 95% CI [1.01;1.57]), HHEX(rs1111875) (OR 1.29, 95% CI [1.03;1.62]), FAIM2(rs7138803) (OR 0.66, 95% CI [0.48;0.91]), and apolipoprotein E4 allele (OR 0.76, 95% CI [0.59;0.98]) were associated with gallstone disease. Urinary albumin was not associated with gallstone disease. The association between BMI and gallstone disease was explained by insulin resistance. Conclusions: Biomarkers of insulin resistance, systemic inflammation and genetic obesity or type 2 diabetes risk alleles seem to be associated with gallstone disease. Future studies should explore temporal associations and genetic associations in other populations in order to clarify targets for prevention or intervention.

description: This research explores the social dynamics of a religious movement, The Salvation Army. A series of interviews with Salvation Army officers showed that the organisation’s evangelical and social service ministries are often engaged in intraorganisational contestation, competition and conflict. Theoretical insights from the sociology of religion are applied to these interviews and written sources, to better understand what is driving and shaping this conflict within The Salvation Army and similar patterns in other faith-based organisations.

description: When planning abundance surveys, the impact of search effort on the quality of the density estimates is rarely considered. We constructed a time-budget modeling framework for abundance surveys using principles from optimal foraging theory. We link search effort to the number of sample units surveyed, searcher detection probability, the number of detections made, and the precision of the estimated resource density. This framework allowed us to determine how a surveyor should behave to produce optimal density estimates. Using data collected from quadrat and removal surveys of zebra mussels (Dreissena polymorpha) in central Minnesota,  we applied this framework to evaluate potential improvements. By tuning searcher behavior, we find that density estimates from removal surveys of zebra mussels could be improved by up to 60% in some cases, without changing the overall survey effort. Our framework also predicts a critical population density where the best survey method switches from removal surveys at low densities to quadrat surveys at high densities, consistent with past empirical work. Our results provide insights into how to improve the performance of many survey methods in high-density environments by either tuning searcher behavior or decoupling the estimation of resource density and detection probability.
