description: Spectropolarimetry is a powerful tool for diagnostic of interstellar matter and gives information on the geometry of the ejected material after the novae outbursts. In this paper are presented spectropolarimetric observations of the recurrent nova T CrB at quiescence obtained with FoReRo2 attached to the Cassegrain focus of the 2.0m RCC telescope of the Bulgarian Rozhen National Astronomical Observatory. The interstellar polarization toward T CrB was estimated using the field stars method. The spectropolarimetric observations were obtained from February 2018 to August 2021. In the wavelength range from 4800~Å~ to 8200~Å~the maximum of the degree of linear polarization is $P_{max}(obs)(\%) = 0.46 \pm 0.01$ at $λ\approx 5200$ Å. The position angle is $P.A._{obs}=100^{\circ}.8 \pm 0^{\circ}.9$. During the observations, there is no intrinsic polarization in T CrB, and the derived values represent interstellar polarization. The polarization toward T CrB is due to the foreground interstellar dust located at the distance up to $\approx$ 400 pc. Based on the degree of polarization the interstellar extinction toward the T CrB is $E_{B-V} \approx 0.07$.

description: Several generalizations of the well-known fluid model of Braginskii (Rev. of Plasma Phys., 1965) are considered. We use the Landau collisional operator and the moment method of Grad. We focus on the 21-moment model that is analogous to the Braginskii model, and we also consider a 22-moment model. Both models are formulated for general multi-species plasmas with arbitrary masses and temperatures, where all the fluid moments are described by their evolution equations. The 21-moment model contains two "heat flux vectors" (3rd and 5th-order moments) and two "viscosity-tensors" (2nd and 4th-order moments). The Braginskii model is then obtained as a particular case of a one ion-electron plasma with similar temperatures, with de-coupled heat fluxes and viscosity-tensors expressed in a quasi-static approximation. We provide all the numerical values of the Braginskii model in a fully analytic form (together with the 4th and 5th-order moments). For multi-species plasmas, the model makes calculation of transport coefficients straightforward. Formulation in fluid moments (instead of Hermite moments) is also suitable for implementation into existing numerical codes. It is emphasized that it is the quasi-static approximation which makes some Braginskii coefficients divergent in a weakly-collisional regime. Importantly, we show that the heat fluxes and viscosity-tensors are coupled even in the linear approximation, and that the fully contracted (scalar) perturbations of the 4th-order moment, which are accounted for in the 22-moment model, modify the energy exchange rates. We also provide several Appendices, which can be useful as a guide for deriving the Braginskii model with the moment method of Grad.

description: Resumo

O Síndrome de Noonan (SN, MIM#163950) é uma patologia do desenvolvimento caracterizada por dismorfia facial típica, baixa estatura e cardiopatia congénita. Tem uma frequência estimada de 1:1000-2500 nascimentos e transmissão autossómica dominante, com neomutações frequentes. Em 30-60% dos casos é possível identificar uma mutação no gene PTPN11.

Foram reavaliados clínica, laboratorial e cognitivamente 16 indivíduos com a hipótese diagnóstica de SN, incluindo o estudo molecular do gene PTPN11. Onze dos casos cumpriam os critérios diagnósticos utilizados (SN definitivo) e em cinco casos apenas estavam presentes alguns critérios (SN possível). Os onze indivíduos com o diagnóstico definitivo de SN tinham idades compreendidas entre os 3 e os 33 anos. Neste grupo, dez eram casos index, um dos quais tinha SN/Neurofibromatose de tipo 1 – NF1, sendo nove casos esporádicos e um caso familiar (família com dois indivíduos afectados). Foi identificada uma mutação em cada um dos exões 3 e 8 do gene PTPN11 em dois dos casos index: no caso familiar e uma neomutação, num total de três indivíduos. Dez dos indivíduos (90,9%) apresentavam baixa estatura e cardiopatia congénita: sete com estenose pulmonar (dois com mutação), dois com miocardiopatia hipertrófica (nenhum com mutação), quatro com comunicação inter-ventricular, três com comunicação inter-auricular (nenhum com mutação) e dois com canal atrioventricular (ambos com mutação). Aavaliação psicológica revelou um Q. I. médio de 57. Nos cinco casos com SN possível, não foram identificadas mutações (dois tinham também NF1).

Discute-se a correlação genótipo-fenótipo, tendo-se confirmado a menor prevalência de miocardiopatia hipertrófica no grupo com mutação identificada e a ausência de mutações do gene PTPN11 em indivíduos com SN/NF1.

description: We study an extension of the Standard Model with electroweak scale right-handed singlet fermions $N$ that induces neutrino masses, plus a generic new physics sector at a higher scale $Λ$. The latter is parametrized in terms of effective operators in the language of the $ν$SMEFT. We study its phenomenology considering operators up to $d=6$, where additional production and decay modes for $N$ are present in addition to those arising from the mixing with the active neutrinos. We focus on the production with four-Fermi operators and we identify the most relevant additional decay modes to be $N\to νγ$ and $N\to 3f$. We assess the sensitivity of future Higgs factories on the $ν$SMEFT in regions of the parameter space where the new states decay promptly, displaced or are stable on detector lengths. We show that new physics scale up to $5-60\;$TeV can be explored, depending on the collider considered.

description: Resumo

Objectivos - Avaliar a efectividade da terapêutica com amoxicilina nas pneumonias adquiridas na comunidade (PAC), admitidas no nosso Serviço de Urgência (SU), no contexto de um país em que o S. pneumoniae apresenta níveis relativamente elevados de resistência à Penicilina. Análise do impacto de propostas de tratamento anteriormente efectuadas.

Material e métodos – Durante 6 meses (Outubro de 2004 a Março de 2005) foram avaliadas prospectivamente todas as crianças com PAC admitidas no SU. Os resultados obtidos foram comparados com os de um estudo efectuado em 1999, para avaliar se o padrão de prescrição se tinha modificado.

Resultados: A amoxicilina foi prescrita em 135 casos (87%) e os macrólidos em 19 (12,2%). A evolução foi boa em todos. No estudo de 2004-5 foram utilizados antibióticos de menor espectro: a amoxicilina foi escolhida em 87% dos casos comparada com 16,7% no estudo de 1999; a prescrição de amoxicilina + ácido clavulânico e cefuroxime axetil em conjunto diminuiu de 60% no estudo anterior para 1,2%.

Conclusões: Apesar dos níveis de resistência do S. pneumoniae à penicilina em Portugal, a maioria das PAC pode ser tratada em casa com amoxicilina, com bons resultados e sem complicações. Programas de avaliação e de melhoria da qualidade de prescrição, tendo em conta o conhecimento dos germens e suas susceptibilidades, devem ser implementados e mantidos.

description: In recent years, ensemble modeling has been widely employed in space weather to estimate uncertainties in forecasts. We here focus on the ensemble modeling of CME arrival times and arrival velocities using a drag-based model, which is well-suited for this purpose due to its simplicity and low computational cost. Although ensemble techniques have previously been applied to the drag-based model, it is still not clear how to best determine distributions for its input parameters, namely the drag parameter and the solar wind speed. The aim of this work is to evaluate statistical distributions for these model parameters starting from a list of past CME-ICME events. We employ LASCO coronagraph observations to measure initial CME position and speed, and in situ data to associate them with an arrival date and arrival speed. For each event we ran a statistical procedure to invert the model equations, producing parameters distributions as output. Our results indicate that the distributions employed in previous works were appropriately selected, even though they were based on restricted samples and heuristic considerations. On the other hand, possible refinements to the current method are also identified, such as the dependence of the drag parameter distribution on the CME being accelerated or decelerated by the solar wind, which deserve further investigation.

description: Resumo

A doença de von Willebrand (DvW), provocada por uma alteração quantitativa ou qualitativa do factor de von Willebrand (fvW), é a causa hereditária de hemorragia mais frequente. Existem três tipos principais, que condicionam uma maior ou menor gravidade do quadro clínico.

Com o objectivo de ilustrar as dificuldades no diagnóstico e algumas particularidades da evolução na DvW, são apresentados e discutidos três casos clínicos. O primeiro é um caso de DvW tipo 1 associado a disfunção plaquetária, que pode cursar com a DvW e em que os resultados normais dos testes de coagulação dificultaram o diagnóstico. No segundo, um caso de DvW tipo 2B, as manifestações clínicas iniciais consistiram em discrasia cutâneo-mucosa associada a trombocitopénia isolada, seguidas por um período assintomático prolongado, vindo depois a manifestar-se menorragia de controlo difícil. Por último, um caso de DvW tipo 3 com manifestação hemorrágica grave, relacionada com níveis plasmáticos muito baixos de fvW.

A suspeita diagnóstica da DvW baseia-se na história clínica e a confirmação laboratorial nem sempre é fácil, em especial na DvW tipo 1. Os testes de coagulação (APTT e TP) são normais na grande maioria dos casos podendo, contudo, haver um prolongamento variável do APTT. Os testes de hemostase primária (TH, PFA-100) estão geralmente alterados, mas não são específicos nem sensíveis para deficiências ligeiras do fvW. O diagnóstico laboratorial da DvW assenta num painel de testes, que inclui: doseamento do antigénio do fvW; actividade do cofactor da ristocetina; factor VIII; análise multimérica do fvW.

description: Most scientific breakthroughs and discoveries are now preconditioned on performing complex processing of vast amounts of data as conveniently, reliably, and efficiently as possible. This requires software systems to automate the processing on these resources, an enormous amount of effort has been invested in producing such "cyberinfrastructure" software systems. This project transforms the way in which these systems are evaluated, so that their capabilities can be developed and evolved judiciously. This project uses simulation to transform the way in which cyberinfrastructure systems are evaluated as part of their long-term development cycles. This is achieved via software elements for enhancing production cyberinfrastructure systems with simulation capabilities so as to enable quantitative evaluation of these systems for arbitrary execution scenarios.

description: We compute helicity amplitudes for the one-loop QCD corrections to top-quark pair production analytically in terms of a set of uniformly transcendental master integrals. We provide corrections up to $O(ε^2)$ in the dimensional regulator for the first time which are relevant at NNLO. Four independent pentagon integral topologies appear in the complete description of the colour structure for which we provide numerical solutions using canonical form differential equations and the method of generalised power series expansions. Analytic forms of the boundary values are obtained in all cases except one where we find a one-dimensional integral representation.

description: Resumo

A doença de McArdle é uma doença autossómica recessiva resultante da deficiência da miofosforilase, uma enzima essencial para a degradação do glicogénio. Manifesta-se habitualmente na adolescência ou início da idade adulta e cursa com mialgias, cãibras e, por vezes, mioglobinúria, após exercício intenso. Apresenta-se o caso de um adolescente de treze anos que se apresentou com um quadro de mioglobinúria após exercício físico. Na sequência da investigação etiológica foi identificada a mutação R49X no gene da miofosforílase, que conduziu ao diagnóstico definitivo da doença de McArdle. Chama-se a atenção para uma patologia rara, mas provavelmente subdiagnosticada.

Palavras-Chave: Doença de McArdle, deficiência de miofosforilase, doença de armazenamento do glicogénio tipo V, rabdomiólise, mioglobinúria, intolerância ao exercício.

description: We report the discovery of TOI-1268b, a transiting Saturn-mass planet from the TESS space mission. With an age of less than one Gyr, derived from various age indicators, TOI-1268b is the youngest Saturn-mass planet known to date and contributes to the small sample of well characterised young planets. It has an orbital period of $P\,=\,8.1577080\pm0.0000044$ days, and transits an early K dwarf star with a mass of $M_\star$ = $ 0.96 \pm 0.04$ $M_{\odot}$, a radius of $R_\star$ = $ 0.92 \pm 0.06$ $R_{\odot}$, an effective temperature of $T_\mathrm{eff}\,=\,5300\pm100$ K, and a metallicity of $0.36\pm0.06$ dex. By combining TESS photometry with high-resolution spectra acquired with the Tull spectrograph at McDonald observatory, and the high-resolution spectrographs at Tautenburg and Ondrejov observatories, we measured a planetary mass of $M_\mathrm{p}\,=\,96.4 \pm 8.3\,M_{\oplus}$ and a radius of $R_\mathrm{p}\,=\,9.1 \pm 0.6\,R_{\oplus}$. TOI-1268 is an ideal system to study the role of star-planet tidal interactions for non-inflated Saturn-mass planets. We used system parameters derived in this paper to constrain the planet tidal quality factor to the range of $10^{4.5-5.3}$. When compared with the sample of other non-inflated Saturn-mass planets, TOI-1268b is one of the best candidates for transmission spectroscopy studies.

description: Following the GRB 170817A prompt emission lasting a fraction of a second, $10^8$ s of data in the X-rays, optical, and radio wavelengths have been acquired. We here present a model that fits the spectra, flux, and time variability of all these emissions, based on the thermal and synchrotron cooling of the expanding matter ejected in a binary white dwarf merger. The $10^{-3} M_\odot$ of ejecta, expanding at velocities of $10^9$ cm s$^{-1}$, are powered by the newborn massive, fast rotating, magnetized white dwarf with a mass of $1.3 M_\odot$, a rotation period of $\gtrsim 12$ s, and a dipole magnetic field $\sim 10^{10}$ G, born in the merger of a $1.0+0.8 M_\odot$ white dwarf binary. Therefore, the long-lasting mystery of the GRB 170817A nature is solved by the merger of a white dwarf binary that also explains the prompt emission energetics.

description: Learning causal relationships in high-dimensional data (images, videos) is a hard task, as they are often defined on low dimensional manifolds and must be extracted from complex signals dominated by appearance, lighting, textures and also spurious correlations in the data. We present a method for learning counterfactual reasoning of physical processes in pixel space, which requires the prediction of the impact of interventions on initial conditions. Going beyond the identification of structural relationships, we deal with the challenging problem of forecasting raw video over long horizons. Our method does not require the knowledge or supervision of any ground truth positions or other object or scene properties. Our model learns and acts on a suitable hybrid latent representation based on a combination of dense features, sets of 2D keypoints and an additional latent vector per keypoint. We show that this better captures the dynamics of physical processes than purely dense or sparse representations. We introduce a new challenging and carefully designed counterfactual benchmark for predictions in pixel space and outperform strong baselines in physics-inspired ML and video prediction.

title: Usability/Accessibility von Rechtsinformation im mehrsprachigen Europa
Creators: name: Kotowska, Manuela
Year: 2017

description: Die vorliegende Masterarbeit setzt sich mit der Usability und Accessibility von Internetseiten und –inhalten auseinander und befasst sich dabei insbesondere mit barrierefreien Rechtsinformationen. In der heutigen von digitalen Medien geprägten Informationsgesellschaft wird der Zugang zu Informationen und Kommunikation als ein fundamentales Menschenrecht und eine Grundvoraussetzung für die soziale Teilhabe an der Gesellschaft betrachtet. Obwohl dieser allen BürgerInnen gleichermaßen sichergestellt werden soll, so werden Menschen mit Behinderungen aufgrund ihrer Beeinträchtigung nicht selten von diversen Informationen wie auch von der juristischen Fachkommunikation abgeschnitten. Das Ziel der Arbeit ist es, die gesetzlichen Rahmenbedingungen und die vorhandenen Standards in Bezug auf die Accessibility von Webseiten und –inhalten vorzustellen wie auch die verschiedenen Maßnahmen zum Abbau von Kommunikationsbarrieren, insbesondere das Konzept der Leichten Sprache, aufzuzeigen. Darüber hinaus wird im Rahmen der Arbeit auch die Spezifik der Rechtsübersetzung beleuchtet. Ausgehend davon wird die Umsetzung der Forderung nach Barrierefreiheit vor allem hinsichtlich der Übersetzung juristischer Texte in Leichte Sprache in Österreich, Polen und im Vereinigten Königreich untersucht. Für die Analyse werden dabei jeweils zwei Internetauftritte aus jedem der genannten Staaten herangezogen.
description: This master’s thesis explores the usability and accessibility of websites and web contents particularly with regard to accessible legal information. In today’s information society, which is shaped by digital media, the access to information and communication is considered to be a fundamental human right and a key condition for social participation in society. Although the access should be ensured equally to all citizens, many people with disabilities are often de-nied access to information and legal communication because of their impairment. The aim of this thesis is to highlight the legal framework and existing standards for web accessibility as well as to illustrate different measures to reducing the communication barriers, in particular the concept of Easy-to-Read. Furthermore, this thesis also discusses the specifics of legal translation. Based on this, this research investigates how the requirement for accessibility, especially regarding the Easy-to-Read translations of legal texts, is implement-ed in Austria, Poland und the United Kingdom. Two websites of each country named will be analysed.

description: The fidelity of two-qubit gates using silicon spin qubits is limited by charge noise. When attempting to dynamically compensate for charge noise using local echo pulses, crosstalk can cause complications. We present a method of using a deep neural network to optimize the components of an analytically designed composite pulse sequence, resulting in a two-qubit gate robust against charge noise errors while also taking crosstalk into account. We analyze two experimentally motivated scenarios. For a scenario with strong EDSR driving and negligible crosstalk, the composite pulse sequence yields up to an order of magnitude improvement over a simple cosine pulse. In a scenario with moderate ESR driving and appreciable crosstalk such that simple analytical control fields are not effective, optimization using the neural network approach allows one to maintain order-of-magnitude improvement despite the crosstalk.

description: Using spectra obtained with the VLT/FORS2 and Gemini-S/GMOS instruments we have investigated carbon, nitrogen and sodium abundances in a sample of red giants in the Small Magellanic Cloud cluster Kron 3. The metallicity and luminosity of this cluster are comparable to those of Galactic globular clusters although with a notably younger age of $\sim$ 6.5 Gyr. Specifically we have investigated the strengths of the CH ($λ$ 4300 A) and CN ($λ$ 3800, $λ$ 4215) molecular bands finding a bimodality of CN band-strengths and a CH/CN anti-correlation. Application of spectrum synthesis techniques reveals a large spread ($\sim$1.2 dex) in nitrogen abundance and a spread in [C/Fe] of $\sim$0.3 dex after applying corrections for evolutionary mixing. We have also estimated sodium abundances from the strengths of the Na D lines finding a range of $\sim$0.8 dex in [Na/Fe] that correlates positively with the N abundances. This is the first star-by-star spectroscopic demonstration of correlated Na, N abundance variations in an intermediate-age star cluster, adding to existing photometric and spectroscopic indications of the presence of multiple populations in such clusters with masses in excess of $\sim 10^5$ solar masses. Our results confirm that the mechanism(s) responsible for the multiple populations observed in globular clusters cannot be an early cosmological effect applying only in old clusters, and provide a key additional factor in the quest to understand the origin of the abundance anomalies.

description: We consider the string, like point particles and branes, to be an irreducible representation of the semi-direct product of the Cartan involution invariant subalgebra of E11 and its vector representation. We show that the subalgebra that preserves the string charges, the string little algebra, is essentially the Borel subalgebra of E9. We also show that the known string physical states carry a representation of parts of this algebra.

Diffusion-mediated surface reactions and stochastic resetting

description: In this paper, we investigate the effects of stochastic resetting on diffusion in $\R^d\backslash \calU$, where $\calU$ is a bounded obstacle with a partially absorbing surface $\partial \calU$. We begin by considering a Robin boundary condition with a constant reactivity $κ_0$, and show how previous results are recovered in the limits $κ_0\rightarrow 0,\infty$. We then generalize the Robin boundary condition to a more general probabilistic model of diffusion-mediated surface reactions using an encounter-based approach. The latter considers the joint probability density or propagator $P(\x,\ell,t|\x_0)$ for the pair $(\X_t,\ell_t)$ in the case of a perfectly reflecting surface, where $\X_t$ and $\ell_t$ denote the particle position and local time, respectively. The local time determines the amount of time that a Brownian particle spends in a neighborhood of the boundary. The effects of surface reactions are then incorporated via an appropriate stopping condition for the boundary local time. We construct the boundary value problem (BVP) satisfied by the propagator in the presence of resetting, and use this to derive implicit equations for the marginal density of particle position and the survival probability. We highlight the fact that these equations are difficult to solve in the case of non-constant reactivities, since resetting is not governed by a renewal process. We then consider a simpler problem in which both the position and local time are reset. In this case, the survival probability with resetting can be expressed in terms of the survival probability without resetting, which allows us to explore the dependence of the MFPT on the resetting rate $r$ and the type of surface reactions. The theory is illustrated using the example of a spherically symmetric surface.

description: Time-delay interferometry (TDI) is a data processing technique for LISA designed to suppress the otherwise overwhelming laser noise by several orders of magnitude. It is widely believed that TDI can only be applied once all phase or frequency measurements from each spacecraft have been synchronized to a common time frame. We demonstrate analytically, using as an example the commonly-used Michelson combination X, that TDI can be computed using the raw, unsynchronized data, thereby avoiding the need for an initial synchronization processing step and significantly simplifying the initial noise reduction pipeline. Furthermore, the raw data is free of any potential artifacts introduced by clock synchronization and reference frame transformation algorithms, which allows to operate directly on the MHz beatnotes. As a consequence, in-band clock noise is directly suppressed as part of TDI, in contrast to the approach previously proposed in the literature (in which large trends in the beatnotes are removed before the main laser-noise reduction step, and clock noise is suppressed in an extra processing step). We validate our algorithm with full-scale numerical simulations that use LISA Instrument and PyTDI and show that we reach the same performance levels as the previously proposed methods, ultimately limited by the clock sideband stability.

1970 Cylichna discifera Koenen, 1885; Vonderbank 1970: 88, pl. 8: 7. 2016 Cylichnidae sp.; Hryniewicz et al. 2016: table 1, fig. 12I.
Material.— One specimen (GPIBo 115) of the two mentioned by Vonderbank (1970), poorly preserved shell from the upper Paleocene, Basilika Formation, locality 500 m west of Trigonometric point 25, Hollendarbukta, Spitsbergen, Svalbard.
Measurements.— GPIBo 115: H, 7.0 mm; W, 4.4 mm.
Description. —Shell of small size, cylindrical, slightly widening abapically, apical opening relatively wide, depth obscured by remnants of following shell and/or sediment, protoconch not preserved. Shell layers peeled off in majority of specimen, but remnants display dense spiral ornamentation. Aperture adapically narrow, expanding in abapical direction. No trace of collumellar folds, callus, or umbilical slit; these features seem genuinely to have been absent.
Remarks.—The specimen in question was classified by Vonderbank (1970) as Cylichna discifera Koenen, 1885, known from the Paleocene of Denmark (Koenen 1885; Schnetler and Nielsen 2018); however, the latter species is much more elongate and equally wide over its entire height, being similar to true cylichnids. The specimen from Spitsbergen, in turn, possesses characters of Scaphandridae and in particular the genus Ellipsoscapha, known from the uppermost Cretaceous of the USA (Sohl 1964), especially the shell widening adapically due to the expanding aperture, and the lack of a callus, columellar folds and an umbilical slit. Due to the imperfect preservation we refrain, however, from specific identification. Another Paleocene species of Ellipsoscapha, also in open nomenclature, has been reported from Greenland by Kollmann and Peel (1983). The latter species, however, is slimmer than the one from Spitsbergen and its last whorl reaches high above the apex.
