description: This paper investigated spatial characteristics of bed morphology around a near-bank emergent vegetation patch. Experimental results showed that patch length and density impacted the spatial scale, orientation and type of pool-bar morphology around the patch. Adjacent to the patch, the pool onset lowest location tended to move upstream as patch length and density increased, quantitatively described by a power function involving the two factors; the transverse bed topography along the pool was described by a two-zone scaling model, providing prediction models for the pool morphology, particularly for narrow urban channels. Moreover, we identified, in the patch wake, two types of bars formed meditated by patch length. Short-point and elongated bars formed under short and long patches, respectively, attributed to different mechanisms of flow–sediment-patch interaction, offering new insights into wake depositional trends and streamwise vegetation succession during different vegetation growth stages. The gained knowledge is useful for vegetation-based urban channel restoration.

We show that Breuil's pseudocompact $(φ,Γ)$-module $D^\vee_ξ(π)$ attached to a smooth $o$-torsion representation $π$ of $B=\mathbf{B}(\mathbb{Q}_p)$ is isomorphic to the pseudocompact completion of the basechange $\mathcal{O_E}\otimes_{Λ(N_0),\ell}\widetilde{D_{SV}}(π)$ to Fontaine's ring (via a Whittaker functional $\ell\colon N_0=\mathbf{N}(\mathbb{Z}_p)\to \mathbb{Z}_p$) of the étale hull $\widetilde{D_{SV}}(π)$ of $D_{SV}(π)$ defined by Schneider and Vigneras. Moreover, we construct a $G$-equivariant map from the Pontryagin dual $π^\vee$ to the global sections $\mathfrak{Y}(G/B)$ of the $G$-equivariant sheaf $\mathfrak{Y}$ on $G/B$ attached to a noncommutative multivariable version $D^\vee_{ξ,\ell,\infty}(π)$ of Breuil's $D^\vee_ξ(π)$ whenever $π$ comes as the restriction to $B$ of a smooth, admissible representation of $G$ of finite length.

description: This Deliverable (D6.2) is a continuation of the work that has been reported in Deliverable (D6.1). D6.1 concerns the Co-Change’s assessment of individual Co- Change Labs in terms of their RRI performance. These Co-Change Labs aim to institutionalise the concept of RRI and are located in a variety of European countries (See Table 1). This D6.2 Deliverable will proceed by comparing the performances of these labs, and by reflecting on the experiences of using RRI monitoring methods. As such, this deliverable puts forth valuable recommendations for practitioners who aim to institutionalise and monitor RRI in their organisation.

description: Almost all galaxies along the Hubble sequence host a compact massive object (CMO) in their center. The CMO can be either a supermassive black hole (SMBH) or a very dense stellar cluster, also known as nuclear star cluster (NSC). Generally, heavier galaxies (mass $\gtrsim 10^{11}\mathrm{M}_{\odot}$ ) host a central SMBH while lighter show a central NSC. Intermediate mass hosts, instead, contain both a NSC and a SMBH. One possible formation mechanisms of a NSC relies on the dry-merger (migratory) scenario, in which globular clusters (GCs) decay toward the center of the host galaxy and merge. In this framework, the absence of NSCs in high-mass galaxies can be imputed to destruction of the infalling GCs by the intense tidal field of the central SMBH. In this work, we report preliminary results of N-body simulations performed using our high-resolution, direct, code HiGPUs, to investigate the effects of a central SMBH on a single GC orbiting around it. By varying either the mass of the SMBH and the mass of the host galaxy, we derived an upper limit to the mass of the central SMBH, and thus to the mass of the host, above which the formation of a NSC is suppressed.

description: Recently, research on uncertainty modeling is progressing rapidly and many essential and breakthrough stud ies have already been done. There are various ways such as fuzzy, intuitionistic and neutrosophic sets to handle these uncertainties. Although these concepts can handle incomplete information in various real-world issues, they cannot address all types of uncertainty such as indeterminate and inconsistent information. Also, plithogenic sets as a generalization of crisp, fuzzy, intuitionistic fuzzy, and neutrosophic sets, which is a set whose elements are characterized by many attributes’ values. In this paper, our aim is to demonstrate and review the history of fuzzy, intuitionistic and neutrosophic sets. For this purpose, we divided the paper as: section 1. History of Fuzzy Sets, section 2. History of Intuitionistic Fuzzy Sets and section 3. History of Neutrosophic Theories and Applications, section 4. History of Plithogenic Sets.

This refines a conjecture of Burrill, which it thereby establishes. We prove as well a "Knuth-type" extension stating a similar equi-enumeration result between generalised oscillating tableaux and semistandard tableaux.

description: The absence of an energy gap separating valence and conduction bands makes the low-energy electronic properties of graphene and its multi-layers sensitive to electron-electron interactions. In bilayers, for instance, interactions are predicted to open a gap at charge neutrality, turning the system into an insulator, as observed experimentally. In mono and (Bernal-stacked) trilayers, interactions, although still important, do not have an equally drastic effect, and these systems remain conducting at low temperature. It may be expected that interaction effects become weaker for thicker multilayers, whose behavior should eventually converge to that of graphite. Here we show that this expectation does not correspond to reality by investigating the case of Bernal-stacked tetralayer graphene (4LG). We reveal the occurrence of a robust insulating state in a narrow range of carrier densities around charge neutrality, incompatible with the behavior expected from the single-particle band structure. The phenomenology resembles that observed in bilayers, but the stronger conductance suppression makes the insulating state in 4LG visible at higher temperature. To account for our findings, we suggest a natural generalization of the interaction-driven, symmetry-broken states proposed for bilayers. This generalization also explains the systematic even-odd effect of interactions in Bernal-stacked layers of different thickness that is emerging from experiments, and has implications for the multilayer-to-graphite crossover.

description: Let $p_n$ denotes the $n$-th prime. We prove that $$\max_{p_{n+1} \leq X} (p_{n+1}-p_n) \gg \frac{\log X \log \log X\log\log\log\log X}{\log \log \log X}$$ for sufficiently large $X$, improving upon recent bounds of the first three and fifth authors and of the fourth author. Our main new ingredient is a generalization of a hypergraph covering theorem of Pippenger and Spencer, proven using the Rödl nibble method.

description: We study spectral singularities and their application in determining the threshold gain coefficient $g^{(E/M)}$ for oblique transverse electric/magnetic (TE/TM) modes of an infinite planar slab of homogenous optically active material. We show that $g^{(E)}$ is a monotonically decreasing function of the incidence angle $θ$ (measured with respect to the normal direction to the slab), while $g^{(M)}$ has a single maximum, $θ_c$, where it takes an extremely large value. We identify $θ_c$ with the Brewster's angle and show that $g^{(E)}$ and $g^{(M)}$ coincide for $θ=0$ (normal incidence), tend to zero as $θ\to 90^\circ$, and satisfy $g^{(E)}θ_c$ is smaller inside the gain region than outside it. The converse is true for the TM waves with $θ

description: We previously obtained constraints on the viewing geometries of 6 Fermi LAT pulsars using a multiwavelength approach (Seyffert et al., 2011). To obtain these constraints we compared the observed radio and $γ$-ray light curves (LCs) for those 6 pulsars by eye to LCs predicted by geometric models detailing the location and extent of emission regions in a pulsar magnetosphere. As a precursor to obtaining these constraints, a parameter study was conducted to reinforce our qualitative understanding of how the underlying model parameters effect the LCs produced by the geometric models. Extracting useful trends from the $γ$-ray model LCs proved difficult though due to the increased complexity of the geometric models for the $γ$-ray emission relative to those for the radio emission. In this paper we explore a second approach to investigating the interplay between the model parameters and the LC atlas. This approach does not attempt to understand how the set of model parameters influences the LC shapes directly, but rather, more fundamentally, investigates how the set of model parameters effects the sky maps from which the latter are extracted. This allows us to also recognise structure within the atlas itself, as we are now able to attribute certain features of the LCs to specific features on the sky map, meaning that we not only understand how the structure of single LCs come about, but also how their structure changes as we move through the geometric solution space.

description: The rise of the Internet of Things (IoT) has led to an exponential increase in data generated by connected devices. Machine Learning (ML) has emerged as a powerful tool to analyze these data and enable intelligent IoT applications. However, developing and managing ML applications in the decentralized Cloud-to-Things continuum is extremely complex. This paper proposes Zenoh-Flow, a dataflow programming framework that supports the implementation of End-to-End (E2E) ML pipelines in a fully decentralized manner and abstracted from communication aspects. Thus, it simplifies the development and upgrade process of the next-generation ML-powered applications in the IoT domain. The proposed framework was demonstrated using a real-world use case, and the results showcased a significant improvement in overall performance and network usage compared to the original implementation. Additionally, other of its inherent benefits are a significant step towards developing efficient and scalable ML applications in the decentralized IoT ecosystem.

description: Distress tolerance is defined behaviorally as the ability to maintain goal directed behavior while experiencing physical or psychological distress. Distress tolerance is closely related to emotion regulation, and is a clinically relevant construct contributing to psychopathology across adults and adolescents, yet limited research has examined the development of this construct. A number of studies suggest the importance of parenting in the emergence of emotion regulation capacities in childhood and adolescence. In the current study, we utilize a behavioral measure of distress tolerance to examine whether maternal distress tolerance is related to adolescent distress tolerance, and if this association differs as a function of gender. We also examine the influence of family emotional climate, namely maternal response to adolescent distress and adolescent attachment. Results indicate a significant maternal distress tolerance by adolescent gender interaction, such that maternal distress tolerance predicts adolescent distress tolerance in daughters, but not sons. The family emotional climate variables were unrelated to maternal or adolescent distress tolerance. Taken together, data indicate that maternal distress tolerance is significantly related to the distress tolerance of adolescent daughters, and indicates the potential utility of addressing maternal distress tolerance in clinical work with adolescents.

description: Each Boolean function can be computed by a single-pass instruction sequence that contains only instructions to set and get the content of Boolean registers, forward jump instructions, and a termination instruction. Auxiliary Boolean registers are not necessary for this. In the current paper, we show that, in the case of the parity functions, shorter instruction sequences are possible with the use of an auxiliary Boolean register in the presence of instructions to complement the content of auxiliary Boolean registers. This result supports, in a setting where programs are instruction sequences acting on Boolean registers, a basic intuition behind the storage of auxiliary data, namely the intuition that this makes possible a reduction of the size of a program.

description: Visualization using tracer particles is a relatively new tool available for the study of superfluid turbulence and flow, which is applied here to oscillating objects submerged in the liquid. We report observations of a structure seen in videos taken from outside a cryostat filled with superfluid helium at 2 K, which is possibly a vortex loop attached to an oscillator. The feature, which has the shape of an incomplete arch, is visualized due to the presence of solid H2 tracer particles and is attached to a beam oscillating at 38 Hz in the liquid. It has been recorded in videos taken at 240 frames per second (FPS), fast enough to take around 6 images per period. This makes it possible to follow the structure, and to see that is not rigid. It moves with respect to the oscillator, and its displacement is in phase with the velocity of the moving beam. Analyzing the motion, we come to the conclusion that we may be observing a superfluid vortex attached to the beam and decorated by the hydrogen particles. An alternative model, considering a solid hydrogen filament, has also been analyzed, but the observed phase between the movement of the beam and the filamentary structure is better explained by the superfluid vortex hypothesis.

description: A decade of research reveals the benefits of positive emotions for mental and physical health; however, recent empirical work suggests the explicit pursuit of happiness may backfire. The present study hypothesized that the pursuit of happiness is not inherently self-defeating; in particular, individuals who seek positivity, as exemplified by how they make decisions about how to organize their day-to-day lives, may be happier. This individual difference is labeled prioritizing positivity. In a community sample of young to older adults (N = 233), prioritizing positivity predicted a host of well-being outcomes (positive emotions, depressive symptomology). In addition, people high in prioritizing positivity have greater resources, and these links are explained by more frequent experiences of positive emotions. In sum, the present study suggests that seeking happiness, although a delicate art, may be a worthwhile pursuit.

description: Glutamine is one of the main nutrients used by tumor cells for biosynthesis. Therefore, targeted inhibition of glutamine metabolism may have anti-tumorigenic implications. In the present study, we aimed to evaluate the effects of glutamine on ovarian cancer cell growth. Three ovarian cancer cell lines, HEY, SKOV3, and IGROV-1, were assayed for glutamine dependence by analyzing cytotoxicity, cell cycle progression, apoptosis, cell stress, and glucose/glutamine metabolism. Our results revealed that administration of glutamine increased cell proliferation in all three ovarian cancer cell lines in a dose dependent manner. Depletion of glutamine induced reactive oxygen species and expression of endoplasmic reticulum stress proteins. In addition, glutamine increased the activity of glutaminase (GLS) and glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) by modulating the mTOR/S6 and MAPK pathways. Inhibition of mTOR activity by rapamycin or blocking S6 expression by siRNA inhibited GDH and GLS activity, leading to a decrease in glutamine-induced cell proliferation. These studies suggest that targeting glutamine metabolism may be a promising therapeutic strategy in the treatment of ovarian cancer.
Obesity and cancer: mechanistic insights from transdisciplinary studies

description: Obesity is associated with a range of health outcomes that are of clinical and public health significance, including cancer. Herein, we summarize epidemiologic and preclinical evidence for an association between obesity and increased risk of breast and prostate cancer incidence and mortality. Moreover, we describe data from observational studies of weight change in humans and from calorie restriction studies in mouse models which support a potential role for weight loss in counteracting tumor-promoting properties of obesity in breast and prostate cancers. Given that weight loss is challenging to achieve and maintain, we also consider evidence linking treatments for obesity-associated co-morbidities, including metformin, statins and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, with reduced breast and prostate cancer incidence and mortality. Finally, we highlight several challenges that should be considered when conducting epidemiologic and preclinical research in the area of obesity and cancer, including the measurement of obesity in population-based studies, the timing of obesity and weight change in relation to tumor latency and cancer diagnosis, and the heterogeneous nature of obesity and its associated co-morbidities. Given that obesity is a complex trait, comprised of behavioral, epidemiologic and molecular/metabolic factors, we argue that a transdisciplinary approach is the key to understanding the mechanisms linking obesity and cancer. As such, this review highlights the critical need to integrate evidence from both epidemiologic and preclinical studies to gain insight into both biologic and non-biologic mechanisms contributing to the obesity-cancer link.

description: Having started as a cross-disciplinary source-editing project (Early modern history, Ottoman studies) in 2020, the Digitale Edition von Quellen zur habsburgisch-osmanischen Diplomatie 1500–1918 (QhoD) project has recently become accessible to public with a rich collection of TEI-based source editions concerning diplomatic exchanges between the Ottoman and
 Habsburg empires. The project is editing sources related to tangible diplomatic missions, focussing on the grand embassies. The physical documents are predominantly housed in the Austrian and Turkish State Archives, but also in libraries, museums and private archives.
 Provided that the archives agree, QhoD presents digital facsimile data to the sources. To date, documents pertaining to four missions have been edited in sub-projects, with regular additions of newly edited documents scheduled for the next months and years.
 Unique features of the project:
 ● QhoD is editing sources from both sides (Habsburg and Ottoman archives), giving complimentary views; Ottoman sources are translated into English (German language sources will shortly include abstracts in English)
 ● diversity of source genres (e.g. letters, contracts, travelogues, descriptions and depictions of cultural artifacts in LIDO; protocol register entries, seyahatnâme and sefâretnâme (traditions of Ottoman itineraries, the latter specific to embassies), newspapers, etc.)
 ● openness to outside collaboration (bring your TEI data!)
 For Ottoman sources, QhoD is adhering to the İslam Ansiklopedisi Transkripsiyon Alfabesi transcription rules (Arabopersian to Latin transliteration). Transcriptions are aided by using Transkribus HTR mainly for German language sources, with ventures into Ottoman HTR together with other projects. Named entity data is curated in a shared instance of the Austrian Prosopographical Information System (APIS), aligned to GND identifiers and serialized as tei:standOff.

description: Currently, the behavior and phenomena governing cerebrospinal drug distribution in the subarachnoid space (SAS) are unknown. There is no standardized system for testing the dynamic behavior of intrathecally (IT) delivered agents, and their distribution is not well understood. Published data measuring drug spread in animal subjects yield conflicting drug distribution profiles. Scaling distribution profiles in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from animal models to human is untested, thereby data is less applicable to a clinical or research setting. Obtaining measured data from human subjects require invasive sampling of CSF and time consuming imaging procedures. The long term goal of this project is to develop a standardized system to accurately predict distribution profiles of individual drugs in subject-specific models of the CSF. Such a system would provide pharmaceutical companies a tool to develop new compounds and treatment modalities while reducing cost and development time. As a research tool this model can be utilized to increase understanding of the driving forces behind CSF circulation, and how disruption of those forces can influence development of pathological states such as hydrocephalus or syringomyelia. The immediate goals are to use a computational model to independently capture the phenomena of CSF dispersion dynamics and test novel applications. The central hypothesis is a computational model can accurately predict IT drug dispersion in a subject specific model by incorporating the pulsatile nature of CSF flow combined with spinal microanatomical obstacles. Work conducted in an idealized spinal analogue bench-top model demonstrated a cephalad bias for dye motion in vertically oriented spines with nerve roots and pulsatile CSF flow. Preliminary in silico studies of a 3D patient specific CNS with explicitly generated CSF pulsations predict a cephalad bias of IT injected species. The virtual CNS patient offers a platform to evaluate novel IT treatment strategies and will further research capabilities to understand the evolution of CNS conditions and repective treatments.

mark-up

description: Many texts that have been encoded using the TEI in the past are retro-converted from printed sources: manuscript catalogues and dictionaries are examples for highly structured texts, drama, verse, and performance texts are usually less structured, editions appear somewhere inbetween. Many of the text types for which the TEI offers specialised elements represent both metadata and data, according to the scenarios in which these texts are used. In the field of manuscript cataloguing, it has been a question for a long time whether the msdescription module is sufficient for the representation of a retro-converted text of a formerly printed catalogue. One may argue, that a catalogue is first of all a visually structured text, a succession of paragraphs, whose semantics are only loosely connected to the main elements the TEI defines, such as , , or . On the other hand, on a sub-paragraph level, the TEI offers structures, which may not be align-able with the actual text of the catalogue so that the person who carries out the retro-conversion has to decide whether to change the text according to the TEI schema rules or encode the text semantically wrong or structure the text with much less semantic information as it would be possible. Now, that the TEI is more and more used to store these kind of texts as born-digitals, the questions is whether the structures offered by the TEI meet all the needs the texts and their authors might have in different scenarios: Is a TEI-encoded text of a given kind equally useful for all search and computational uses, as well as publishing needs? Are the TEI structures flexible enough or do they privilege some uses over others? How much of the semantic information is encoded in the text and how much of it might be realised only in the processing of the sources? In this paper, manuscript catalogues serve as an example for the more general question about what structures, how much markup and what kind of markup is needed in the time of powerful search engines and artificial intelligence, authority files and the Linked Open Data.

Shear flow controlled mode selection in a nonlinear autocatalytic medium

description: The effect of shear flow on mode selection and the length scale of patterns formed in a nonlinear auto-catalytic reaction-diffusion model is investigated. We predict analytically the existence of transverse and longitudinal modes. The type of the selected mode strongly depends on the difference in the flow rates of the participating species, quantified by the differential flow parameter. New spatial structures are obtained by varying the length scale of individual modes and superposing them via the differential flow parameter. Our predictions are in line with numerical results obtained from lattice Boltzmann simulations.
A Protease-Resistant Form of Insulin-Like Growth Factor (IGF) Binding Protein 4 Inhibits IGF-1 Actions
Creators: name: Rees, C.

description: Smooth muscle cells (SMC) secrete a serine protease that cleaves insulin-like growth factor (IGF) binding protein (IGFBP)-4 into fragments that have low affinity for IGF-1. When IGFBP-4 is added to monolayer cultures of cell types that do not secrete this protease, IGF-1 stimulation of DNA synthesis is significantly inhibited. In contrast, if cell types that secrete this protease are used, IGFBP-4 is a much less potent inhibitor. These studies were conducted to determine whether proteolysis of IGFBP-4 accounted for its reduced capacity to inhibit IGF-1-stimulated DNA synthesis. The cleavage site in IGFBP-4 that the SMC protease uses was determined to be lysine120, histidine121. A protease-resistant mutant form of IGFBP-4 was prepared, expressed, purified, and tested for biologic activity using porcine SMC cultures. Addition of the protease-resistant mutant resulted in inhibition of DNA and cell migration responses to IGF-1. The inhibition was concentration dependent and was maximal when 500 ng/ml (20 nM) of the mutant was added with 20 ng/ml (2.8 nM) of IGF-1. When the mutant was added in the absence of IGF-1, it had no activity. The results show that cleavage of IGFBP-4 at lysine120, histidine121 results in inactivation of the ability of IGFBP-4 to bind to IGF-1. Creation of a mutant form of IGFBP-4 that was not cleaved by the protease resulted in inhibition of IGF-1-stimulated actions. The results suggest that IGFBP-4 can act as a potent inhibitor of the anabolic effects of IGF-1 and that the variables that regulate protease activity may indirectly regulate IGF-1 actions.

description: Leptin gains access to the central nervous system where it influences activity of neuronal networks involved in ingestive behavior, neuroendocrine activity, and metabolism. In particular, the brain melanocortin (MC) system is important in leptin signaling and maintenance of energy balance. Although leptin or MC receptor insensitivity has been proposed to be associated with obesity, the present study compared central leptin and MC receptor stimulation on some of the above-mentioned parameters and investigated whether these treatments predict proneness to diet-induced obesity (DIO) in out-bred Wistar rats. Third-cerebroventricular administration of equi-anorexigenic doses of leptin and of the MC agonist melanotan-II caused comparable increases in plasma ACTH and corticosterone levels and c-Fos-labeling in approximately 70% of paraventricular hypothalamic (PVN) neuronal cell bodies containing CRH. This reinforces involvement of paraventricular CRH neurons in the short-term neuroendocrine and ingestive effects of leptin and melanocortins. In the DIO prediction study, anorexigenic efficacy of melanotan-II was not correlated with any parameter linked to DIO but was highly correlated with MC in situ binding (with labeled [Nle4,d-Phe7]α-MSH) as well as CRH immunoreactivity in the PVN of DIO rats. This suggests intricate relationships among MC signaling, the CRH system, and ingestive behavior unrelated to DIO. In the same animals, leptin’s anorexigenic efficacy was not correlated with PVN MC in situ binding or CRH immunoreactivity but correlated inversely to post-DIO plasma leptin, liver weight, and abdominal adiposity, the latter being correlated to insulin resistance. Thus, differences in leptin but not MC signaling might underlie DIO, visceral obesity, and insulin resistance.
Data-Driven Decision Making for Energy Efficiency Improvement in Buildings

description: Buildings are the single largest user of energy in U.S. and can account for more than half of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in large cities. With concerns related to natural resource depletion, population growth, and climate change, many policymakers at all levels of the government have set GHG emission reduction targets. Nonetheless, these targets cannot be met without supporting energy efficiency in buildings as the building sector has one of the highest potentials for delivering significant and cost-effective GHG emission reduction. By benefiting from the growth in the city-scale energy benchmarking programs, this dissertation is proposing a framework to investigate the energy performance of buildings and how data-driven approaches can be used to motivate the building sector toward more sustainable use of energy. To do so, the first part of the dissertation discovers the trends and patterns in energy and water consumption in residential and commercial buildings across the U.S. over three decades. The main goal of this part is to leverage machine learning to cluster US states based on their similarities in terms of per capita water and energy consumption over time. The next part investigates the city-scale building energy benchmarking programs and data along with reviewing the challenges and opportunities associated with them by reviewing energy benchmarking programs nationwide. In this part, both qualitative and quantitative analysis of the benchmarking programs are performed. The next part of the dissertation proposes a framework to integrate the energy benchmarking data with other urban data categories and extracting the important attributes affecting building energy use. Toward this goal, the capability of various machine learning techniques, both to model energy use and also to interpret the results were evaluated. Finally, the last part investigates the feasibility of using benchmarking datasets rather than confined surveys in developing models for grading buildings on energy performance.

description: Starting from an action that describes a Dirac fermion, we propose and analyze a model based on a low-relativistic Pauli equation coupled to a torsion-like term to study Spin Hall Effect (SHE). We point out a very particular connection between the modified Pauli equation and the (SHE), where what we refer to torsion as field playing an important rôle in the spin-orbit coupling process. In this scenario, we present a proposal of a spin-type current, considering the tiny contributions of torsion in connection with geometrical properties of the material.
