description: We introduce a novel approach for the reconstruction of tubular shapes from skeletal representations. Our method processes all skeletal points as a whole, eliminating the need for splitting input structure into multiple segments. We represent the tubular shape as a truncated signed distance function (TSDF) in a voxel hashing manner, in which the signed distance between a voxel center and the object is computed through a simple geometric algorithm. Our method does not involve any surface sampling scheme or solving large matrix equations, and therefore is a faster and more elegant solution for tubular shape reconstruction compared to other approaches. Experiments demonstrate the efficiency and effectiveness of the proposed method. Code is avaliable at https://github.com/wlsdzyzl/Dragon.

description: Application of farmyard manure (FYM) is common practice to improve physical and chemical properties of arable soil and crop yields. However, studies on effects of FYM application mainly focussed on topsoils, whereas subsoils have rarely been addressed so far. We, therefore, investigated the effects of 36-year FYM application with different rates of annual organic carbon (OC) addition (0, 469, 938 and 1875 g C m−2 a−1) on OC contents of a Chernozem in 0–30 cm (topsoil) and 35–45 cm (subsoil) depth. We also investigated its effects on soil structure and hydraulic properties in subsoil. X-ray computed tomography was used to analyse the response of the subsoil macropore system (≥19 μm) and the distribution of particulate organic matter (POM) to different FYM applications, which were related to contents in total OC (TOC) and water-extractable OC (WEOC). We show that FYM-C application of 469 g C m−2 a−1 caused increases in TOC and WEOC contents only in the topsoil, whereas rates of ≥938 g C m−2 a−1 were necessary for TOC enrichment also in the subsoil. At this depth, the subdivision of TOC into different OC sources shows that most of the increase was due to fresh POM, likely by the stimulation of root growth and bioturbation. The increase in subsoil TOC went along with increases in macroporosity and macropore connectivity. We neither observed increases in plant-available water capacity nor in unsaturated hydraulic conductivity. In conclusion, only very high application of FYM over long periods can increase OC content of subsoil at our study site, but this increase is largely based on fresh, easily degradable POM and likely accompanied by high C losses when considering the discrepancy between OC addition rate by FYM and TOC response in soil.

description: We provide a quantum protocol to perform topological data analysis (TDA) via the distillation of quantum thermal states. Recent developments of quantum thermal state preparation algorithms reveal their characteristic scaling defined by properties of dissipative Lindbladians. This contrasts with protocols based on unitary evolution which have a scaling depending on the properties of the combinatorial Laplacian. To leverage quantum thermal state preparation algorithms, we translate quantum TDA from a real-time to an imaginary-time picture, shifting the paradigm from a unitary approach to a dissipative one. Starting from an initial state overlapping with the ground state of the system, one can dissipate its energy via channels unique to the dataset, naturally distilling its information. Therefore calculating Betti numbers translates into a purity estimation. Alternatively, this can be interpreted as the evaluation of the Rényi 2-entropy, Uhlmann fidelity or Hilbert-Schmidt distance relative to thermal states with the embedded topology of simplicial complexes. Our work opens the field of TDA toward a more physical interpretation of the topology of data.

description: We study the possibility of deterministic protocols for extracting work from quantum systems. Focusing on the two-point measurement work extraction scenario, we prove that, with enough copies of the system, such zero-fluctuation protocols always exist if the Hamiltonian has a rational spectrum. Leveraging this result, we show that for any Hamiltonian, it is possible to construct an unitary driving protocol on sufficiently many copies of the system with work fluctuations strictly bounded within an arbitrary interval $\pm δ$, albeit requiring exponentially many copies in $1/δ$.

BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic broke out in 2019 and rapidly spread across the globe. Most of the severe and dead cases are middle-aged and elderly patients with chronic systemic diseases. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to assess the association between fasting blood glucose (FPG) and body mass index (BMI) levels in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) under different conditions. METHODS: Experimental-related information (age, gender, BMI, and FPG on the second day of admission) from 86 COVID-19 cases (47 males and 39 females) with an average age of (39 ± 17) years was collected in April and November 2020. These cases were divided into three groups according to the most severe classification of each case determined by the clinical early warning indicators of severe-critically illness, the degree of progression, and the treatment plan shown in the diagnosis and treatment plan of COVID-19 pneumonia. Statistical models were used to analyze the differences in the levels of FPG and BMI, age, and gender among the three groups. RESULTS: 1. Experimental group: 21 patients with asymptomatic or and mild symptoms (group A), 45 patients with common non-progression (group B), and 20 patients with common progression and severe symptoms (group C). 2. The age differences among the three groups were statistically significant and elderly patients had a higher risk of severe disease (t= 4.1404, 3.3933, 9.2123, P= 0.0001, 0.0012, 0.0000). There was a higher proportion of females than males in the normal progression and severe disease cases (χ2= 5.512, P= 0.019). 3. The level of FPG was significantly higher in group C than in group A (t= 3.1655, P= 0.0030) and B (t= 2.0212, P= 0.0475). The number of diabetes or IFG in group C was significantly higher than in group A (χ2= 5.979, P= 0.014) and group B (χ2= 6.088, P= 0.014). 4. BMI was significantly higher in group C than in groups A (t= 3.8839, P= 0.0004) and B (t= 3.8188, P= 0.0003). The number of overweight or obese patients in group C was significantly higher than in groups A (χ2= 8.838, P= 0.003) and B (χ2= 10.794, P= 0.001). 5. Patients' age, gender, and FPG were independent risk factors for COVID-19 disease progression (β= 0.380, 0.191, 0.186; P= 0.000, 0.034, 0.045). CONCLUSION: The levels of FPG and BMI were significantly increased in the population with common progressive and severe COVID-19. FPG and age are independent risk factors for the progression of COVID-19.

description: In high-energy particle collisions, the primary collision products usually decay further resulting in tree-like, hierarchical structures with a priori unknown multiplicity. At the stable-particle level all decay products of a collision form permutation invariant sets of final state objects. The analogy to mathematical graphs gives rise to the idea that graph neural networks (GNNs), which naturally resemble these properties, should be best-suited to address many tasks related to high-energy particle physics. In this paper we describe a benchmark test of a typical GNN against neural networks of the well-established deep fully-connected feed-forward architecture. We aim at performing this comparison maximally unbiased in terms of nodes, hidden layers, or trainable parameters of the neural networks under study. As physics case we use the classification of the final state X produced in association with top quark-antiquark pairs in proton-proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, where X stands for a bottom quark-antiquark pair produced either non-resonantly or through the decay of an intermediately produced Z or Higgs boson.

description: The 3′ ends of almost all eukaryotic mRNAs are generated in an essential two-step processing reaction: endonucleolytic cleavage of an extended precursor followed by the addition of a poly(A) tail. By reconstituting the reaction from overproduced and purified proteins, we provide a minimal list of 14 polypeptides that are essential and two that are stimulatory for RNA processing. In a reaction depending on the polyadenylation signal AAUAAA, the reconstituted system cleaves pre-mRNA at a single preferred site corresponding to the one used in vivo. Among the proteins, cleavage factor I stimulates cleavage but is not essential, consistent with its prominent role in alternative polyadenylation. RBBP6 is required, with structural data showing it to contact and presumably activate the endonuclease CPSF73 through its DWNN domain. The C-terminal domain of RNA polymerase II is dispensable. ATP, but not its hydrolysis, supports RNA cleavage by binding to the hClp1 subunit of cleavage factor II with submicromolar affinity.

description: Le programme MOOGLI (MOdélisation et Observation du Golfe du Lion), qui relève du Programme National d'Océanographie Côtière, PNOC), a pour objectif l'étude de l'évolution saisonnière de la structure et du fonctionnement de l'écosystème du golfe du Lion. Cette région côtière est physiquement gouvernée par une structure hydrodynamique puissante, le courant Nord-Méditerranéen (CNM), et est soumise à d'importants apports continentaux par le Rhône. Le but majeur de ce programme est d'établir à l'aide de l'outil de modélisation un bilan annuel à méso-échelle du carbone et des éléments biogènes associés (azote et phosphore). Il s'agit de fournir des informations afin de réduire les incertitudes concernant le rôle joue par les zones côtières dans le fonctionnement du Système océanique global.La stratégie repose sur l'investigation rapide (en moins de 5 jours) de l'ensemble du golfe du Lion à l'aide d'un réseau de 56 radiales comprenant 4 stations chacune, complétées par des suivis de la dérive du panache du Rhône à l'aide de bouées dérivantes repérées par satellite (positionnement ARGOS). Sur chaque station sont réalisées des études hydrologiques, chimiques et biologiques (pêches zooplanctoniques) dans la colonne d'eau ainsi que des études au niveau des sédiments. La campagne MOOGLI2 est menée en fin de printemps afin de connaître les caractéristiques hydrologique et benthique après la floraison printanière qui a été étudiée en mars-avril au cours de la campagne MOOGLI1.

description: Our contribution takes into consideration the more significant aspects of the student movement in Chile since 2001, year of the so-called mochilazo, up to nowadays, adopting a perspective aimed to outline the features of a historic process still in progress and in continuous transformation. Special attention is paid to the so-called revolucion de los pinginos and, above all, to the university student movement of 2011, which has been considered by many Chilean sociologists as a new social movement, to be deemed similar to the ones arisen during the recent past also in Europe, that represented the awakening of the civil society in front of the official political affairs. In this respect the relevant bibliography largely refers to Chilean works and is quite disparate, since it consists of documentary texts (investigative reports, memoirs of the protagonists, interviews) as well as historical texts, as the Historia contemporànea de Chile written by Gabriel Salazar and Julio Pinto (2014) and the sociological analysis of Mario Garcs (2012) and of Manuel A. Garretn (2014).

In this paper, we demonstrate how this framework can be used to trace the consistency and completeness of technical documents that consist of a set of System Installation Design Principles used by Airbus to ensure the correctness of aircraft system installation. We show in particular, how the platform allows the integration of two types of reasoning: reasoning about the meaning of text using semantic parsing and description logic theorem proving; and reasoning about document structure using first-order relational logic and finite model finding for traceability analysis.

description: An adaptive and dynamic grid approach is developed for the numerical computations of wake vortex flow problems with ground interaction. The unnecessary grid points at the far field of the original, large, single zone grid are removed for computational efficiency. Next, the grid is modified into an adaptive one, where the fine core region keeps track of the vortices and can be split into two regions when the vortex separation distance exceeds a specified limit length. In the final step a multi zonal feature is added to this grid by means of two embedded grids placed at the vortex centers and the excess numerical dissipation at the initial stages of the computation due to the insufficient grid resolution is alleviated. Also continuous and automated simulation algorithms are developed for these grids in order to eliminate the user interaction during the computation. Four laminar 2D cases are investigated, by using a model wake vortex problem, with the grids of the three steps mentioned above including the original, large, single zone grid. The results are compared with each other to analyze the effects of these improvements and validated with available field measurements. Finally two laminar 3D cases are investigated with the single zone and multi-zone adaptive grids. Here the effects of the third dimension and multi-zonal approach are investigated. Also these 3D results are validated with the field measurements and compared with the corresponding 2D results.

description: ABSTRACT:

Updates to the EuroFIR thesauri have been made in response to requirements of EuroFIR compilers for maintaining their food composition databases. The updates have involved the Component, Method Indicator and Matrix Unit thesauri and the revised versions of these thesauri have been numbered 1.3. Issues related to the thesaurus entries are described and areas requiring further work or discussion have been identified. For carbohydrates in the Component Thesaurus, work has involved polysaccharides and polyols. New terms have been added for individual fatty acids and their totals, as well as for a number of trace elements. Other additions have been made for amino acids and organic acids, and improvements have been made for various component terms. For the Method Indicator thesaurus, several issues relating to the classification, non-reported methods and recipe calculation are addressed. The main area of work for specific terms has been on energy calculation methods, but some other issues relating to calculation methods are also addressed. One new term has been added to the Matrix Unit thesaurus.

Dynamic topographic patterns to control cell adhesion and mechanics
Creators: name: Rianna, Carmela
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II
Year: 2015

description: The research described in this thesis aimed to introduce a new class of cell−instructive materials, designed to study cell response to dynamic topographic signals. Understanding cellular reaction to the external environment is a central aspect in tissue engineering and biomedical science. A growing number of works is emphasizing the high sensitivity that cells display towards the chemical and physical features of the substrate to which they are connected. In particular, substrates of defined topography have emerged as powerful tools in the investigation of the mechanisms involved in cell−material interaction. The limitation of many of the proposed substrates is their static form, which does not allow to induce a programmed change during cell culture. This physical stasis has limited the potential of topographic substrates to control cells in culture. For this reason a study on dynamic and reversible platforms was conducted, aiming to investigate cell behavior in a more biomimetic way and to overcome the limit of static systems.

description: Hybrid density functional approximations (DFAs) offer compelling accuracy for ab initio electronic-structure simulations of molecules, nanosystems, and bulk materials, addressing some deficiencies of computationally cheaper, frequently used semilocal DFAs. However, the computational bottleneck of hybrid DFAs is the evaluation of the non-local exact exchange contribution, which is the limiting factor for the application of the method for large-scale simulations. In this work, we present a drastically optimized resolution-of-identity-based real-space implementation of the exact exchange evaluation for both non-periodic and periodic boundary conditions in the all-electron code FHI-aims, targeting high-performance CPU compute clusters. The introduction of several new refined Message Passing Interface (MPI) parallelization layers and shared memory arrays according to the MPI-3 standard were the key components of the optimization. We demonstrate significant improvements of memory and performance efficiency, scalability, and workload distribution, extending the reach of hybrid DFAs to simulation sizes beyond ten thousand atoms. As a necessary byproduct of this work, other code parts in FHI-aims have been optimized as well, e.g., the computation of the Hartree potential and the evaluation of the force and stress components. We benchmark the performance and scaling of the hybrid DFA based simulations for a broad range of chemical systems, including hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites, organic crystals and ice crystals with up to 30,576 atoms (101,920 electrons described by 244,608 basis functions).

Development of innovative formulations for
topical administration of vitamin K1
Creators: name: Campani, Virginia
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II
Year: 2015

description: The research activity has been focused on the study of new strategies for the dermal and transdermal administration of pharmacologically active molecules. In particular, the study was aimed to develop formulations based on nanocarriers for the administration of vitamin K1 (phylloquinone) in aerosol form on the skin. Recently, it was found that creams containing vitamin K1 was very useful in the prevention of acneiform reactions affecting the skin in patients receiving cetuximab for the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer. (Ocvirk Janja et al., 2010, Tomková et al., 2011). Different semisolid formulations containing vitamin K1, namely Rencoval®, VigorSkinK1® and VigorSkinK1 Plus®, are already present on the market. The purpose of this study was therefore to develop alternative strategies for the administration of vitamin K1 on the skin, overcoming the drawbacks associated with the use, for more administration in a day, of fatty formulations. Therefore, innovative aqueous formulations to be administered on the skin by aerosol, thus avoiding the use of semisolid preparations, have been designed and developed in this work. To nebulize the developed formulations, a patented device (Eautè), portable and pocket with battery was used. In the development of vitamin K1-containing formulation  alternative to the lipophilic formulations currently on the market, the possibility to increase the accumulation of vitamin in the epidermis and dermis was also taken into account. The formulative strategies used in this work start from previous published findings on lipid-based nanocarriers, such as liposomes, already used to administer different drugs on the skin. Then, the possibility to develop transfersomes and ethosomes to increase, compared to liposome-based formulations, the vitamin accumulation into the skin was investigated. Finally, the possibility to use lipid-free nanoemulsions, to propose formulative approaches less expensive for future commercial development, has been investigated. Thus, during all the experimental work, special attention was paid on the development of formulations suitable to be transferred to the industry (technological transfer). Thus, once designed the different formulations, their optimization has been aimed to combine high encapsulation of active compound, absent o low release of the encapsulated molecule during storage, long shelf-life, as well as increased accumulation into the skin.
This PhD work has been carried out in collaboration with the Xenus s.r.l. in the respect of a confidential agreement between the PhD student, the University Tutor prof. Giuseppe De Rosa and the scientific responsible of the company dr. Michele Pitaro, some experimental details of this work have been omitted in this thesis.

description: The large deviations at various levels that are explicit for Markov jump processes satisfying detailed-balance are revisited in terms of the supersymmetric quantum Hamiltonian $H$ that can be obtained from the Markov generator via a similarity transformation. We first focus on the large deviations at level 2 for the empirical density ${\hat p}(C) $ of the configurations $C$ seen during a trajectory over the large time-window $[0,T]$ and rewrite the explicit Donsker-Varadhan rate function as the matrix element $I^{[2]}[{\hat p}(.) ] = \langle \sqrt{ {\hat p} } \vert H \vert \sqrt{\hat p} \rangle $ involving the square-root ket $\vert \sqrt{\hat p} \rangle $. [The analog formula is also discussed for reversible diffusion processes as a comparison.] We then consider the explicit rate functions at higher levels, in particular for the joint probability of the empirical density ${\hat p}(C) $ and the empirical local activities ${\hat a}(C,C') $ characterizing the density of jumps between two configurations $(C,C')$. Finally, the explicit rate function for the joint probability of the empirical density ${\hat p}(C) $ and of the empirical total activity ${\hat A} $ that represents the total density of jumps of a long trajectory is written in terms of the two matrix elements $ \langle \sqrt{ {\hat p} } \vert H \vert \sqrt{\hat p} \rangle$ and $\langle \sqrt{ {\hat p} } \vert H^{off} \vert \sqrt{\hat p} \rangle $, where $H^{off} $ represents the off-diagonal part of the supersymmetric Hamiltonian $H$. This general formalism is then applied to pure or random spin chains with single-spin-flip or two-spin-flip transition rates, where the supersymmetric Hamiltonian $H$ correspond to quantum spin chains with local interactions involving Pauli matrices of two or three neighboring sites.

Molecularly imprinted polymers with assistant recognition biomolecule for protein detection

Year: 2015

description: Molecularly imprinted polymers are ideal alternatives to natural recognition elements for a variety of reasons, including facile synthesis, greater chemical and long term stability, and reusability. One of the most challenging tasks in developing such polymers is provide them of a signal transduction capability, enabling to respond to a specific binding event. In this thesis, protein-imprinted polymers, capable of specific transduction of binding event into a fluorescence change were prepared using an assistant-peptide bearing an environment-sensitive fluorophore. The preparation has included the synthesis of the environment-sensitive peptide and subsequent incorporation into the polymer network through the imprinting process. Binding studies proved that MIP-SA-allyl-peptide has large absorption capacity and good affinity and selectivity toward BSA when compared with pure MIP. The greater binding properties of MIP-SA-allyl-peptide were found to derive from the assistant-peptide that suitably oriented into the cavity, acts as binding site in cooperation with the imprinted cavity. Furthermore, transduction signaling studies proved that MIP-SA-allyl-dansyl-peptide is able to detect and report the protein binding into a precise detection range. The proposed fluorescent-imprinted polymer provides a new and general strategy for protein-sensing platforms and opens up to the field of biosensors.

description: Contexte et objectifsLe bassin méditerranéen pris dans son ensemble, i.e. incluant ses mers et ses surfaces continentales adjacentes, subit des pressions anthropiques croissantes et est considéré comme un des « hot spot » du changement climatique (réchauffement et assèchement). Il est aujourd'hui devenu un environnement menacé tant du point de vue de ses équilibres écologiques que de ses ressources exploitables et des systèmes hydriques qui le font vivre.
Ainsi, des données récentes montrent que la mer Méditerranée subit de plein fouet l'impact du changement climatique, qu'il soit direct (réchauffement des eaux profondes et de surface, augmentation de la salinité) ou indirect (diminution d'apports d'eau douce par les fleuves, changement de régimes des vents, modification du rayonnement à travers l'atmosphère). D'autres données permettent également depuis peu de caractériser les pressions anthropiques dans de nombreux domaines (pollution, population en zone littorale, transport maritime, gestion des pêches), voire de définir des scénarios d'évolution fiables de la croissance de ces pressions.
Cependant, en dépit des efforts de recherche intensifs entrepris dans toute la zone méditerranéenne lato sensu depuis plus d'un siècle, une vision intégrée du fonctionnement de ce bassin fait toujours défaut, rendant impossible toute prévision fiable de son évolution globale et donc des mesures à préconiser pour résoudre les problèmes de gestion durable que cette évolution soulèvera.
Dans le domaine marin, cette situation est largement due au manque de coordination et au caractère non pérenne des systèmes d'observation mis en place au cours des dix dernières années, lesquels ne permettent qu'une analyse fragmentée, tant dans le temps et l'espace qu'au niveau des paramètres mesurés.

L'objectif de MOOSE est le suivi des masses d'eau, de la circulation thermohaline et des flux de matière en Méditerranée Nord occidentale. Pour ce faire, MOOSE va notamment s'employer à mettre en réseau les moyens d'observation existants afin de réaliser un ensemble de mesures cohérentes et homogènes.
Dans ce contexte, seront mises en oeuvre des opérations continentales de suivi des apports des fleuves (caractérisation chimique des eaux) et de suivi des dépôts atmosphériques (caractérisation chimique des particules), ainsi que différents types de mesures en mer : un suivi temporel haute fréquence des caractéristiques physiques des eaux (température, salinité et courants) à l'aide de cinq lignes de mouillage profondes (ancrées sur le fond marin aux sites de Dyfamed, MOLA, Planier et Antares) ; un suivi mensuel sur trois sites (Dyfamed MOLA et Antares) de la structure hydrologique des eaux (caractérisation physique, chimique et biologique de l'ensemble de la colonne d'eau) ; des radiales réalisées à l'aide de gliders (mesures de température, salinité, oxygène, fluorescence chlorophyllienne).

description: Les conséquences attendues du changement climatique en Méditerranée justifient pleinement un suivi accru du milieu marin. Il y a là un important challenge scientifique pour mieux comprendre et analyser les différentes composantes de cet écosystème (cf chantier MISTRALS) et une forte demande sociétale de la part des pays riverains avec une volonté affichée de mettre en place « une véritable stratégie européenne pour l'observation de la Méditerranée (cf appel d'offre BG12 et BG13). Dans ce cadre, l'objectif du réseau MOOSE est de maintenir un système d'observations, multi-site et intégré, destiné à suivre l'évolution du bassin nord-occidental de la Méditerranée (mer Ligure, golfe du Lion, bassin Provençal) dans le contexte des changements globaux (climatique et d'origine anthropique). Il s'agit en particulier de mesurer les grandes tendances et les anomalies sur le long terme caractérisant l'évolution de cette région marine dont le périmètre a été retenu comme sous-région par la Directive Cadre Stratégie des Milieux Marins (DCSMM).

description: Let a physical event constitute a simple loop in spacetime. This in turn calls for a generalized loop line element (= distance$^2$ between two neighboring loops) capable of restoring, at the shrinking loop limit, the special relativistic line element (= distance$^2$ between the two neighboring centers-of-mass, respectively). Sticking at first stage to a flat Euclidean/Minkowski background, one is led to such a preliminary loop line element, where the role of coordinates is played by the oriented cross-sections projected by the loop event. Such cross-sections are generically center-of-mass independent, unless (owing to a topological term) the loop events are intrinsically wrapped around a Kaluza-Klein like compact fifth dimension. Serendipitously, it is the Kaluza-Klein ingredient which, on top of its traditional assignments, is shown to govern the extension of Pythagoras theorem to loop space. Associated with $M_4 \otimes S_1$ is then a 10-dim loop spacetime metric, whose 4-dim center-of-mass core term is supplemented by a 6-dim Maxwell-style fine structure. The imperative inclusion of a positive (say Nambu-Goto) string tension within the framework of Loop Special Relativity is fingerprinted by a low periodicity breathing mode. Nash global isometric embedding is conjectured to play a major role in the construction of Loop General Relativity.
