description: Das Ziel von Gender Planning ist, gendersensibles und inklusives Planen und Bauen von der Stadtentwicklung bis zur Architektur, dessen Anforderungen sowie die im Europarat 1998 verankerte Gleichberechtigung von Frauen und Männern anhand von Leitfäden in die gebaute Umwelt zu übersetzen. Während Österreich und vor allem Wien international als sehr fortschrittlich in Bezug auf Gender Planning in der Stadtplanung gelten, fehlt es in der Architektur aber noch an Datenmaterial, um fundierte Aussagen zu gendersensiblem Planen und Bauen im Neubau oder im Bestand zu formulieren. Am Beispiel von Schulbestandgebäuden sollen im vorliegenden Artikel die genderspezifischen Anforderungen herausgearbeitet werden, die Schüler*innen an ihr Schulgebäude stellen. Die Ergebnisse dieses qualitativ-empirischen Forschungsprojektes sollen Forschungslücken schließen, um aus dem Projekt heraus wichtige Aspekte für die nötige Standortbestimmung in der Architektur zu entwickeln.

description: We study the structure of the set of algebraic curvature operators satisfying a sectional curvature bound under the light of the emerging field of Convex Algebraic Geometry. More precisely, we determine in which dimensions $n$ this convex semialgebraic set is a spectrahedron or a spectrahedral shadow; in particular, for $n\geq5$, these give new counter-examples to the Helton--Nie Conjecture. Moreover, efficient algorithms are provided if $n=4$ to test membership in such a set. For $n\geq5$, algorithms using semidefinite programming are obtained from hierarchies of inner approximations by spectrahedral shadows and outer relaxations by spectrahedra.

description: Dieser Beitrag knüpft an Arbeiten aus dem Forschungsfeld Geschlechterverhältnisse und Nachhaltigkeit an und zielt darauf ab, intersektionale Geschlechterperspektiven als Heuristik zur Analyse sozial-ökologischer Transformationen zu formulieren. Dabei wird die in der geschlechterbezogenen Nachhaltigkeitsforschung entwickelte Unterscheidung von Geschlecht als Differenz-, Struktur-, Prozess- und epistemologische Kategorie insbesondere in Bezug auf intersektionale und epistemologische Perspektiven konkretisiert, die zu einem erweiterten, heuristischen Verständnis der Geschlechterperspektiven als Analyseperspektiven beitragen. Am Beispiel der Systematisierung von Forschungsarbeiten an der Schnittstelle von Energiewende, Geschlecht und Macht werden die Potenziale der jeweiligen Perspektiven und ihrer Erweiterungen konkretisiert. Damit wird sowohl die systematisierende als auch die analytische Funktion einer solchen Heuristik für die (empirische) Forschung zu sozial-ökologischen Transformationen verdeutlicht.

description: We study the physics of D-branes in the presence of constant Ramond-Ramond potentials. In the string field theory context, we first develop a general formalism to analyze open strings in gauge trivial closed string backgrounds, and then apply it both to the RNS string and within Berkovits' covariant formalism, where the results have the most natural interpretation. The most remarkable finding is that, in the presence of a Dp-brane, both a constant parallel NS-NS B-field and R-R C^(p-1)-field do not solve the open/closed equations of motion, and induce the same non-vanishing open string tadpole. After solving the open string equations in the presence of this tadpole, and after gauging away the closed string fields, one is left with a U(1) field strength on the brane given by F=(1/2)(B-*C^(p-1)), where * is Hodge duality along the brane world-volume. One observes that this result differs from the usually assumed result F=B. Technically, this is due to the fact that supersymmetric and bosonic string world-sheet theories are different. Note, however, that the usual F+B combination is still the combination which remains gauge invariant at the sigma-model level. Also, the standard result F=B is, in the D3-brane case, not compatible with S-duality. On the other hand our result, which is derived automatically given the general formalism, offers a non-trivial check of S-duality, to all orders in F, and this leads to a S-dual invariant Moyal deformation. In an appendix, we solve the source equation describing the open superstring in a generic NS-NS and R-R closed string background, within the super Poincare covariant formalism.

description: Deformable image registration (DIR) and contour propagation are used in daily online adaptation for hybrid MRI linac (MRL) treatments. The accuracy of the propagated contours may vary depending on the chosen workflow (WF), affecting the amount of required manual corrections. This study investigated the impact of three different WFs of contour propagations produced by a clinical treatment planning system for a high-field MRL on head and neck cancer patients. Seventeen patients referred for curative radiotherapy for oropharyngeal cancer underwent standard CT-based dose planning and MR scans in the treatment position for planning (pMR), and at the 10th (MR10), 20th (MR20) and 30th (MR30) fraction (±2). The primary tumour, a metastatic lymph node and 8 organs at risk were manually delineated on each set of T2 weighted images. Delineations were repeated one month later on the pMR by the same observer to determine the intra-observer variation (IOV). Three WFs were used to deform images in the treatment planning system for the high-field MRL: In WF1, only the planning image and contours were used as a reference for DIR and propagation to MR10,20,30. The most recently acquired image set prior to the daily images was deformed and uncorrected (WF2) versus manually corrected (WF3) structures propagated to the session image. Dice similarity coefficient (DSC), mean surface distance (MSD) and Hausdorff distance (HD) were calculated for each structure in each model. Population median DSC, MSD and HD for WF1 and WF3 were similar and slightly better than for WF2. WF3 provided higher accuracy than WF1 for structures that are likely to shrink. All DIR workflows were less accurate than the IOV. WF1 and WF3 provide higher accuracy in structure propagation than WF2. Manual revision and correction of propagated structures are required for all evaluated workflows.

description: We demonstrate that the number of Nambu-Goldstone bosons is always equal to the number of conserved currents inside the scenario of non-Hermitian field theories with spontaneous symmetry breaking. This eliminates the redundancies which normally appears in Hermitian field theories, specifically when the Lagrangian under analysis violates explicitly the Lorentz symmetry.

Extended actions, dynamics of edge modes, and entanglement entropy

description: In this work we propose a simple and systematic framework for including edge modes in gauge theories on manifolds with boundaries. We argue that this is necessary in order to achieve the factorizability of the path integral, the Hilbert space and the phase space, and that it explains how edge modes acquire a boundary dynamics and can contribute to observables such as the entanglement entropy. Our construction starts with a boundary action containing edge modes. In the case of Maxwell theory for example this is equivalent to coupling the gauge field to boundary sources in order to be able to factorize the theory between subregions. We then introduce a new variational principle which produces a systematic boundary contribution to the symplectic structure, and thereby provides a covariant realization of the extended phase space constructions which have appeared previously in the literature. When considering the path integral for the extended bulk + boundary action, integrating out the bulk degrees of freedom with chosen boundary conditions produces a residual boundary dynamics for the edge modes, in agreement with recent observations concerning the contribution of edge modes to the entanglement entropy. We put our proposal to the test with the familiar examples of Chern-Simons and BF theory, and show that it leads to consistent results. This therefore leads us to conjecture that this mechanism is generically true for any gauge theory, which can therefore all be expected to posses a boundary dynamics. We expect to be able to eventually apply this formalism to gravitational theories.

description: This qualitative narrative study describes the stories of persons with Long COVID. Four individuals participated in semi-structured interviews with photo elicitation. Thematic analysis yielded six themes: symptom complexity, deep emotional impact, changes to daily life, not being believed, navigating healthcare alone, and positive influence of social support illustrating that persons with Long COVID experience major changes in their bodies, routines, and relationships. The results can inform occupational therapy services by encouraging occupational therapy practitioners to pursue updated Long COVID-specific continuing education and address the functional limitations, role competencies, support systems, and life priorities of these clients.
Magnetic activity in accretion disc boundary layers

Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We use three dimensional magnetohydrodynamic simulations to study the structure of the boundary layer between an accretion disc and a non-rotating, unmagnetized star. Under the assumption that cooling is efficient, we obtain a narrow but highly variable transition region in which the radial velocity is only a small fraction of the sound speed. A large fraction of the energy dissipation occurs in high density gas adjacent to the hydrostatic stellar envelope, and may therefore be reprocessed and largely hidden from view of the observer. As suggested by Pringle (1989), the magnetic field energy in the boundary layer is strongly amplified by shear, and exceeds that in the disc by an order of magnitude. These fields may play a role in generating the magnetic activity, X-ray emission, and outflows in disc systems where the accretion rate is high enough to overwhelm the stellar magnetosphere.

description: We study Schwinger pair creation of charged Kaluza-Klein particles from a static KK electric field. We find that the gravitational backreaction of the electric field on the geometry - which is incorporated via the electric KK Melvin solution - prevents the electrostatic potential from overcoming the rest mass of the KK particles, thus impeding the tunneling mechanism which is often thought of as responsible for the pair creation. However, we find that pair creation still occurs with a finite rate formally similar to the classic Schwinger result, but via an apparently different mechanism, involving a combination of the Unruh effect and vacuum polarization due to the E-field.

description: Bacteria can chemotactically migrate up attractant gradients by controlling run-and-tumble motility patterns. In addition to this well-known chemotactic behaviour, several soil and marine bacterial species perform chemokinesis: they adjust their swimming speed according to the local concentration of chemoeffector, with higher speed at higher concentration. A field of attractant then induces a spatially varying swimming speed, which results in a drift towards lower attractant concentrations -- contrary to the drift created by chemotaxis. Here, to explore the biological benefits of chemokinesis and investigate its impact on the chemotactic response, we extend a Keller-Segel-type model to include chemokinesis. We apply the model to predict the dynamics of bacterial populations capable of chemokinesis and chemotaxis in chemoeffector fields inspired by microfluidic and agar plate migration assays. We find that chemokinesis combined with chemotaxis not only may enhance the population response with respect to pure chemotaxis, but also modifies it qualitatively. We conclude presenting predictions for bacteria around dynamic finite-size nutrient sources, simulating, e.g., a marine particle or a root. We show that chemokinesis can reduce the measuring bias that is created by a decaying attractant gradient.

description: The aim of this study was to examine the risk of HPV-associated oral cavity, oropharyngeal or anal cancer in men with penile cancer to test the hypothesis of an increased risk to develop a second HPV-associated cancer later in life. We conducted a population-based register study including all men in Sweden diagnosed with penile cancer between 2000 and 2012. For each patient, six men without penile cancer were matched based on age and county of residence. Data were retrieved from Swedish cancer and population registers, to assess the risk of oral cavity, oropharyngeal or anal cancer in patients with penile cancer. Cox proportional hazard models were used to calculate hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Risks in men with penile cancer were also compared with the background Swedish male population by use of standardized incidence ratios. In total, 1634 men with and 9804 without penile cancer were included in the study. Among men with penile cancer, four men were subsequently diagnosed with oral cavity cancer, one with oropharyngeal cancer and one with anal cancer. Corresponding numbers among the penile cancer-free men were ten, two and three, respectively. There was evidence of an increased risks of all three cancers under study with an HR of 2.84 (95% CI 0.89–9.06) for oral cavity cancer, 3.66 (95% CI 0.33–40.39) for oropharyngeal cancer and 2.34 (95% CI 0.24–22.47) for anal cancer. When comparing the incidence of these malignancies between penile cancer patients and the background population, the patterns of association were similar. Our findings indicate that men with penile cancer are at an increased risk of a second HPV-associated cancer of the oral cavity, oropharynx and anal canal. Considering that our study was based on small numbers reflecting the rarity of these cancers, larger studies are needed to confirm our findings.

description: The efficacy of utilizing graphene-magnetite nanocomposite for methylene blue and crystal violet adsorption treatment from aqueous samples was investigated in this study. The nanocomposite properties were evaluated by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and vibrating quantum magnetometry. Some adsorption parameters such as adsorption capacity, contact time, stirring rate, temperature, and pH of the aqueous solution were explored in the research too. Moreover, it was found that adsorption followed a pseudo-second-order kinetic model with an R2 value of 0.999 resulting in a maximum adsorption capacity of 240 mg/g for methylene blue and 203 mg/g for crystal violet respectively. Besides, different well-known isotherm models fit the equilibrium data well. Assessments of thermodynamic parameters showed that the removal of both dyes by GO-Fe3O4 nanocomposite is spontaneous. Also, the reuse ability of GO-Fe3O4 nanocomposite was studied and the result was shown to be recycled suitably and possessed adsorptive properties so that it can be developed as an inexpensive and alternative adsorbent for dye wastewater treatment.

description:
The American Urogynecologic Society (AUGS) identified diversity, equity, and inclusion as the cornerstone of excellence in governance and operations. Although efforts to increase diversity of our membership have been ongoing for years, there had not previously been an adequate investment to ensure an inclusive climate that emphasizes equity across our volunteers and programs. In June 2020, the AUGS President, Dr Shawn Menefee, and Board of Directors called for a Presidential Task Force on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion to study the current state of our society and make recommendations for future directions. The charge was intentionally broad. In review of the literature, there was little to inform the best means to proceed aside from administering climate surveys to gauge the current culture of inclusion and bias. The task force believed that the challenge was not only to describe the problem but also to articulate solutions. We ultimately moved to rewrite the Diversity and Inclusion and Code of Conduct Statements and develop an Action Plan that would accelerate the efforts of AUGS to foster inclusion and improve equity through the existing governance structure. In this document, we describe how the task force was organized and conducted the work to develop strategies that were aligned with the AUGS mission: "As the leader in female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery, AUGS drives excellence in care for women through education, research, advocacy, and interdisciplinary collaboration."

description: We theoretically investigate the excitation dynamics in a photon-fluid with both local and nonlocal interactions. We show that the interplay between locality and an infinite-range nonlocality gives rise to a gapped Bogoliubov spectrum of elementary excitations which, at lower momenta, correspond to massive particles (phonons) with a relativistic energy-momentum relation. In this regime and in the presence of an inhomogeneous flow the density fluctuations are governed by the massive Klein-Gordon equation on the acoustic metric and thus propagate as massive scalar fields on a curved spacetime. We finally demonstrate that in the non-relativistic limit the phonon modes behave as self-gravitating quantum particles with an effective Schrödinger-Newton dynamics, although with a finite-range gravitational interaction and a non-zero cosmological constant. Our photon-fluid represents a viable alternative to BEC models for "emergent-gravity" scenarios and offers a promising setting for analogue simulations of quantum gravity phenomenology and semiclassical gravity.

description: Bacterial community succession in pig manure anaerobic digestion and its correlation with antibiotic residues under combinations of digestion time, temperature, moisture, acidity, and alkalinity are unknown. In this study, bacterial communities and antibiotic residues in compost were analyzed under combinations of these influencing factors (digestion time, temperature, moisture, and acidity and alkalinity). The results showed a decrease in antibiotic residues in the digestion, including tetracycline, oxytetracycline, chlortetracycline, norfloxacin, ciprofloxacin, penicillin, cephalosporin, sulfamethoxypyrimidine, sulfamethazine, tylosin, and erythromycin. These combined conditions resulted in changes in the structure and composition of the dominant and rare bacterial communities. However, there were bacterial populations (containing 13 genera) that presented a stable composition. Antibiotic residue levels were significantly associated with the genus numbers of dominant bacterial communities (containing 29 genera), but not with rare and stable bacterial communities. Antibiotic residue levels were significantly negatively correlated with the abundance of microbial genes encoding carbohydrate-active enzymes, negatively correlated with the abundance of genes involved in main metabolic pathways, and positively correlated with the abundance of genes associated with resistance to environments. Our findings suggest insight into correlations between bacterial community structure and metabolism and antibiotic residues in pig manure anaerobic digestion under effects of key influencing factors.

description: Gas-dynamical studies using the Hubble Space Telescope are an integral component for future progress in the search for massive black holes in galactic nuclei. Here we present an extensive set of gas rotation curves obtained with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph for the central regions of 23 disk galaxies. We find that the bulges of randomly selected, nearby spiral and S0 galaxies generally do not contain well-defined gaseous disks. Only 15%-20% of disk galaxies have regular, symmetric velocity fields useful for dynamical analysis. Through comparison of the kinematics with Hubble Space Telescope images of the nuclear regions, we show that the probability of success can be significantly boosted by preselecting objects whose central dust lanes follow a well-ordered, circularly symmetric pattern. The dust morphology can be ascertained efficiently by visual inspection of unsharp-masked images.

description: To increase trust in artificial intelligence systems, a promising research direction consists of designing neural models capable of generating natural language explanations for their predictions. In this work, we show that such models are nonetheless prone to generating mutually inconsistent explanations, such as "Because there is a dog in the image" and "Because there is no dog in the [same] image", exposing flaws in either the decision-making process of the model or in the generation of the explanations. We introduce a simple yet effective adversarial framework for sanity checking models against the generation of inconsistent natural language explanations. Moreover, as part of the framework, we address the problem of adversarial attacks with full target sequences, a scenario that was not previously addressed in sequence-to-sequence attacks. Finally, we apply our framework on a state-of-the-art neural natural language inference model that provides natural language explanations for its predictions. Our framework shows that this model is capable of generating a significant number of inconsistent explanations.

description: We reconsider the option of extracting the transversity distribution by using interference fragmentation functions into two leading hadrons inside the same current jet. To this end, we perform a new study of two-hadron fragmentation functions. We derive new positivity bounds on them. We expand the hadron pair system in relative partial waves, so that we can naturally incorporate in a unified formalism specific cases already studied in the literature, such as the fragmentation functions arising from the interference between the s- and p-wave production of two mesons, as well as the production of a spin-one hadron. In particular, our analysis clearly distinguishes two different ways to access the transversity distribution in two-hadron semi-inclusive leptoproduction.

description: By proving a local limit theorem for higher-order transitions, we determine the time required for necklace chains to be close to stationarity. Because necklace chains, built by arranging identical smaller chains around a directed cycle, are not reversible, have little symmetry, do not have uniform stationary distributions, and can be nearly periodic, prior general bounds on rates of convergence of Markov chains either do not apply or give poor bounds. Necklace chains can serve as test cases for future techniques for bounding rates of convergence.

description: This study investigated the stimulatory effect of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) pre-treatment on cellular resistance to damage induced by ionizing radiation (IR), using Tetrahymena pyriformis as a model organism. The effects were evaluated on cell number, the activities of catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD), and lipid peroxidation. After 24 h of exposure to IR, cells pre-treated with H2O2 exhibited a marked improvement in cell viability, with increases of 42.2 and 58.5% for the 1-h and 24-h pre-treated cells, respectively, compared to the control cells without pre-treatment. Additionally, measurements of CAT and SOD activities revealed a significant decrease in pre-treated cells after irradiation compared to the control cells. Moreover, the level of malondialdehyde (MDA), a product of lipid peroxidation, decreased in pre-treated cells after irradiation, indicating a positive effect of H2O2 pre-treatment on the resistance of T. pyriformis cells to IR-induced damage.

Violation of Lorentz Invariance and neutral component of UHECR

description: The observed clustering of ultra-high energy cosmic rays suggests the existence of a neutral component. The models with violation of Lorentz invariance may explain this component by neutrons becoming stable above some threshold energy E_0. The protons, in turn, may become unstable above some energy E_1>E_0. We calculate the dependence of the threshold energies E_0 and E_1 on the parameters of the model and find E_1/E_0\gsim 1.5. We argue that the characteristic threshold behavior of charged and neutral components may be used as the specific signature of models with violation of Lorentz invariance. The existence of the neutron stability threshold E_0 can be investigated with already existing data.

description: With their constantly increasing peak performance and memory capacity, modern supercomputers offer new perspectives on numerical studies of open many-body quantum systems. These systems are often modeled by using Markovian quantum master equations describing the evolution of the system density operators. In this paper we address master equations of the Lindblad form, which are a popular theoretical tool in quantum optics, cavity quantum electrodynamics, and optomechanics. By using the generalized Gell-Mann matrices as a basis, any Lindblad equation can be transformed into a system of ordinary differential equations with real coefficients. This allows us to use standard high-performance parallel algorithms to integrate the equations and thus to emulate open quantum dynamics in a computationally efficient way. Recently we presented an implementation of the transform with the computational complexity scaling as $O(N^5 log N)$ for dense Lindbaldians and $O(N^3 log N)$ for sparse ones. However, infeasible memory costs remain a serious obstacle on the way to large models. Here we present a parallel cluster-based implementation of the algorithm and demonstrate that it allows us to integrate a sparse Lindbladian model of the dimension $N=2000$ and a dense random Lindbladian model of the dimension $N=200$ by using $25$ nodes with $64$ GB RAM per node.

description: Vascular EGF receptors (EGFR) influence function and structure of arterial vessels. In genetic mouse models we described the role of vascular smooth muscle (VSMC) EGFR for proper physiological function and structure as well as for pathophysiological alterations by obesity or angiotensin II. As the importance of endothelial (EC) EGFR in vivo is unknown, we analyzed the impact of EC-EGFR knockout in a conditional mouse model on vascular and renal function under control condition as well as in obesity and in comparison to VSMC-KO. Heart and lung weight, blood pressure and aortic transcriptome (determined by RNA-seq) were not affected by EC-EGFR-KO. Aortic reactivity to α1-adrenergic stimulation was not affected by EC-EGFR-KO contrary to VSMC-EGFR-KO. Endothelial-induced relaxation was reduced in abdominal aorta of EC-EGFR-KO animals, whereas it was enhanced in VSMC-EGFR-KO animals. Mesenteric arteries of EC-EGFR-KO animals showed enhanced sensitivity to α1-adrenergic stimulation, whereas endothelial-induced relaxation and vessel morphology were not affected. Renal weight, histomorphology, function (albumin excretion, serum creatinine, fractional water excretion) or transcriptome were not affected by EC-EGFR-KO, likewise in VSMC-EGFR-KO. High fat diet (HFD) over 18 weeks induced arterial wall thickening, renal weight increase, creatininemia, renal and aortic transcriptome alterations with a similar pattern in EC-EGFR-WT and EC-EGFR-KO animals by contrast to the previously reported impact of VSMC-EGFR-KO. HFD induced endothelial dysfunction in abdominal aortae of EC-EGFR-WT, which was not additive to the EC-EGFR-KO-induced endothelial dysfunction. As shown before, VSMC-EGFR-KO prevented HFD-induced endothelial dysfunction. HFD-induced albuminuria was less pronounced in EC-EGFR-KO animals and abrogated in VSMC-EGFR-KO animals. Our results indicate that EC-EGFR, in comparison to VSMC-EGFR, is of minor and opposite importance for basal renovascular function as well as for high fat diet-induced vascular remodeling and renal end organ damage.

description: We address the problem that the cross section for the collisions of unstable particles diverges, if calculated by standard methods. This problem is considered for beams much smaller than the decay length of the unstable particle, much larger than the decay length and finally also for pancake- shaped beams. We find that in all cases this problem can be solved by taking into account the production/propagation of the unstable particle and/or the width of the incoming wave packets in momentum space.

Robust Navigation of a Soft Growing Robot by Exploiting Contact with the Environment

description: Navigation and motion control of a robot to a destination are tasks that have historically been performed with the assumption that contact with the environment is harmful. This makes sense for rigid-bodied robots where obstacle collisions are fundamentally dangerous. However, because many soft robots have bodies that are low-inertia and compliant, obstacle contact is inherently safe. As a result, constraining paths of the robot to not interact with the environment is not necessary and may be limiting. In this paper, we mathematically formalize interactions of a soft growing robot with a planar environment in an empirical kinematic model. Using this interaction model, we develop a method to plan paths for the robot to a destination. Rather than avoiding contact with the environment, the planner exploits obstacle contact when beneficial for navigation. We find that a planner that takes into account and capitalizes on environmental contact produces paths that are more robust to uncertainty than a planner that avoids all obstacle contact.
