description: Une étude a été menée dans un centre de tri des déchets ménagers en vue d'étudier l'évolution des concentrations microbiennes dans l'air au cours du temps et en fonction des ateliers et d'étudier le domaine d'application de l'impacteur en cascade Andersen (ICA). Les résultats indiquent que les activités de tri sont à l'origine de concentrations élevées en poussières, en bactéries et moisissures cultivables et suggèrent de multiplier les prélèvements pour une meilleure représentativité des mesures. Les mesures effectuées avec l'ICA viable montrent que cet instrument n'est pas totalement adapté à ce secteur d'activité.

description: Background. Giardia are among the most common enteropathogens detected in children in low-resource settings. We describe here the epidemiology of infection with Giardia in the first 2 years of life in the Etiology, Risk Factors, and Interactions of Enteric Infections and Malnutrition and the Consequences for Child Health and Development Project (MAL-ED), a multisite birth-cohort stu dy. Methods. From 2089 children, 34 916 stool samples collected during monthly surveillance and episodes of diarrhea were tested for Giardia using an enzyme immunoassay. We quantified the risk of Giardia detection, identified risk factors, and assessed the associations with micronutrients, markers of gut inflammation and permeability, diarrhea, and growth using multivariable linear regression. Results. The incidence of at least 1 Giardia detection varied according to site (range, 37.7%–96.4%) and was higher in the sec - ond year of life. Exclusive breastfeeding (HR for first Giardia detection in a monthly surveillance stool sample, 0.46 [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.28–0.75]), higher socioeconomic status (HR, 0.74 [95% CI, 0.56–0.97]), and recent metronidazole treatment (risk ratio for any surveillance stool detection, 0.69 [95% CI, 0.56–0.84]) were protective. Persistence of Giardia (consecutive detections) in the first 6 months of life was associated with reduced subsequent diarrheal rates in Naushahro Feroze, Pakistan but not at any other site. Giardia detection was also associated with an increased lactulose/mannitol ratio. Persistence of Giardia before 6 months of age was associated with a −0.29 (95% CI, −0.53 to −0.05) deficit in weight-for-age z score and −0.29 (95% CI, −0.64 to 0.07) deficit in length-for-age z score at 2 years. Conclusions. Infection with Giardia occurred across epidemiological contexts, and repeated detections in 40% of the children suggest that persistent infections were common. Early persistent infection with Giardia , independent of diarrhea, might contribute to intestinal permeability and stunted growth.

 Holotype:— UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, on bark of Pinus albicaulis, September 1883, W. N. Suksdorf [s.n.], Ellis Collection 5310 (NY).
 Specimen examined: [UNITED STATES OF AMERICA] Rex 144 [BM 001084242 = box, BM 001247189 = slide, BM 001247197 = SEM stub].
 The type material of this species has been studied by Moreno & al. (2004), and it is characterized by stipitate sporocarps, dark brown sporotheca, stalk approximately the same length as the sporotheca. The columella is thick, not sinuous and almost reaches the apex, where it branches into short secondary branches. The material conserved in BM and incorrectly labeled as type material was found in a box containing further species belonging to other taxa of the Stemonitales. The label of the box carries only rudimentary information which does not allow us to properly identify their origin, so we doubt that it was part of the type collection. The material preserved at BM is very scarce and the sinuous morphology of the columella differs from the material represented by the holotype in NY. Based on its microscopic characters the BM specimen seems closer to Comatricha sinuatocolumellata G. Moreno, H. Singer, A. Sanchez & Illana, also a nivicolous species and very similar to C. suksdorfii. However, the specimen Rex 144 at BM is different from C. sinuatocolumellata because of its larger and cylindrical sporotheca and a stalk with approximately the same length as the sporotheca. It may represent a currently still unnamed new taxon.

A Local Representation of the Electronic Dielectric Response Function

Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)

description: We present a local representation of the electronic dielectric response function, based on a spatial partition of the dielectric response into contributions from each Wannier function using a generalized density functional perturbation theory. This procedure is fully ab initio, and therefore allows us to rigorously define local metrics, such as "bond polarizability," on Wannier centers. We show that the locality of the response function is determined by the locality of three quantities: Wannier functions of the occupied manifold, the density matrix, and the Hamiltonian matrix. In systems with a gap, the bare dielectric response is exponentially localized, which supports the physical picture of the dielectric response function as a collection of interacting local response that can be captured by a tight-binding model.

description: This study investigated the separation dynamics of an ellipsoidal body shedding from a two-dimensional ramp using experimental and computational methods. The main objective was to assess the fidelity of computational simulations of a complex, interacting flow configuration via comparison with experimental data. Experimental data was generated by the HyperTERP shock tunnel at the University of Maryland. Ellipsoids were stationed on a 10° ramp with varying initial positions and were then exposed to Mach 6 flow, allowing them to fly freely in response to the aerodynamic forces experienced. Experimental results revealed three trajectory behaviors that were dependent upon the initial shock impingement location: expulsion to surfing, surfing, and direct entrainment. These behaviors were consistent with earlier sphere experiments, but the introduction of pitch resulted in somewhat more complex dynamics. Numerical simulations were performed with CREATE-AV Kestrel, the fixed-wing multiphysics tool developed by the Computational Research and Engineering Acquisition Tools and Environments (CREATE) Program. Computational results exhibited discrepancies primarily in terms of the velocity and acceleration values when compared to the experimental results. The sensitivity of the initial conditions caused unsteadiness at the start of the solution, and potentially propagated errors in velocity and acceleration downstream. Despite these initial errors, however, the computational simulations showed a comparable trajectory to those of the experimental results.

description: Parametric filters, such as the Extended Kalman Filter and the Unscented Kalman Filter, typically scale well with the dimensionality of the problem, but they are known to fail if the posterior state distribution cannot be closely approximated by a density of the assumed parametric form. For nonparametric filters, such as the Particle Filter, the converse holds. Such methods are able to approximate any posterior, but the computational requirements scale exponentially with the number of dimensions of the state space. In this paper, we present the Coordinate Particle Filter which alleviates this problem. We propose to compute the particle weights recursively, dimension by dimension. This allows us to explore one dimension at a time, and resample after each dimension if necessary. Experimental results on simulated as well as real data confirm that the proposed method has a substantial performance advantage over the Particle Filter in high-dimensional systems where not all dimensions are highly correlated. We demonstrate the benefits of the proposed method for the problem of multi-object and robotic manipulator tracking.

description: Given a smoothly bounded domain $Ω\Subset\mathbb{R}^n$ with $n\ge 1$ odd, we study the blow-up of bounded sequences $(u_k)\subset H^\frac{n}{2}_{00}(Ω)$ of solutions to the non-local equation $$(-Δ)^\frac n2 u_k=λ_k u_ke^{\frac n2 u_k^2}\quad \text{in }Ω,$$ where $λ_k\toλ_\infty \in [0,\infty)$, and $H^{\frac n2}_{00}(Ω)$ denotes the Lions-Magenes spaces of functions $u\in L^2(\mathbb{R}^n)$ which are supported in $Ω$ and with $(-Δ)^\frac{n}{4}u\in L^2(\mathbb{R}^n)$. Extending previous works of Druet, Robert-Struwe and the second author, we show that if the sequence $(u_k)$ is not bounded in $L^\infty(Ω)$, a suitably rescaled subsequence $η_k$ converges to the function $η_0(x)=\log\left(\frac{2}{1+|x|^2}\right)$, which solves the prescribed non-local $Q$-curvature equation $$(-Δ)^\frac n2 η=(n-1)!e^{nη}\quad \text{in }\mathbb{R}^n$$ recently studied by Da Lio-Martinazzi-Rivière when $n=1$, Jin-Maalaoui-Martinazzi-Xiong when $n=3$, and Hyder when $n\ge 5$ is odd. We infer that blow-up can occur only if $Λ:=\limsup_{k\to \infty}\|(-Δ)^\frac n4 u_k\|_{L^2}^2\ge Λ_1:= (n-1)!|S^n|$.

A tale of two antennules: the performance of crab odour-capture organs in air and water

description: Odour capture is an important part of olfaction, where dissolved chemical cues (odours) are brought into contact with chemosensory structures. Antennule flicking by marine crabs is an example of discrete odour capture (sniffing) where an array of chemosensory hairs is waved through the water to create a flow–no flow pattern based on a narrow range of speeds, diameters of and spacings between hairs. Changing the speed of movement and spacing of hairs at this scale to manipulate flow represents a complicated fluid dynamics problem. In this study, we use numerical simulation of the advection and diffusion of a chemical gradient to reveal how morphological differences of the hair arrays affect odour capture. Specifically, we simulate odour capture by a marine crab (Callinectes sapidus) and a terrestrial crab (Coenobita rugosus) in both air and water to compare performance. We find that the antennule morphologies of each species are adaptions to capturing odours in their native habitats. Sniffing is an important part of odour capture for marine crabs in water where the diffusivity of odorant molecules is low and flow through the array is necessary. On the other hand, flow within the hair array diminishes odour-capture performance in air where diffusivities are high. This study highlights some of the adaptations necessary to transition from water to air.
Quantum-State Purity of Heralded Single Photons Produced from Frequency-Anti-Correlated Biphotons

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We analyze the quantum-state purity of heralded single photons produced from frequency-anti-correlated biphotons. We find that the quantum-state purity in time-frequency domain depends strongly on the response time uncertainty of the trigger-photon detector that heralds the generation of its paired photon. If the trigger response time is much shorter than the two-photon coherence time, the time-frequency quantum-state purity of heralded single photons approaches unity and the heralded single photon is in a nearly pure state. If the trigger response time is much longer than the two-photon coherence time, the heralded photon is then projected onto a mixed state. Making use of the time-frequency entanglement, heralded single photons with a well-defined temporal wave function or a frequency superposition state can be produced and engineered. This time-frequency entanglement allows for shaping heralded single photons through nonlocal spectral modulation.

subject: Participatory Design

description: Due to the recent COVID-19 pandemic, many intergenerational design teams were forced to pivot to online sessions and had to rely heavily on technology tools to facilitate these sessions. This thesis examines the technology tools used in two intergenerational participatory design teams and explores how these tools affect design participants (both children and adults) to execute participatory design techniques to their full potential. Through exploratory analysis of data collected from four sources (observation of participatory design sessions, participatory design sessions’ artifacts, semi-structured interviews with adult participants, and expert interviews), this thesis reports on three themes that emerged on how technology tools impact online intergenerational collaboration: 1) social ability online, 2) technical challenges, and 3) power dynamics in online participatory design sessions. To mitigate the barriers caused by technology tools, recommendations on the participatory design processes as well as design of technology tools used in online participatory design work are discussed, with the aspirational goal of achieving equal partnership in the intergenerational design process. The findings of this research would ultimately encourage further meaningful collaboration in online synchronous design teams of all ages.

The Deliverable is an output from Work Package 7, “Asset Deterioration”. The University of Sheffield (UFSD). UFSD is the author of this deliverable. The report describes current defect inspection and classification methodologies and provides a review of their effectiveness. The report argues that historically there has been a strong linkage between the development of international and national defect classification systems and sewer inspection approaches. A state-of-the-art review of commonly used inspection technologies is provided. The potential for newer emerging inspection technologies is also described and discussed. These new approaches are being developed to (i) reduce cost so as to allow the wider use of sewer inspection and (ii) gather more physically relevant information about in-sewer defects so that more physically based pipe deterioration models can be developed, and (iii) to provide inspection data with less uncertainty. If improvements in inspection approaches could be achieved it would allow water utilities to better focus investment for sewer rehabilitation and renewal and also more rapidly identify operational issues that cause system failures such as flooding and the release of untreated wastewater via sewer overflows. Different sources of information were considered: (i) a search of academic and governmental agency sources – peer reviewed outputs; (ii) search of documentation from other sources that had not been reviewed; and (iii) information from commercial sources, mainly companies providing in-pipe inspection services. This review has shown that CCTV based inspection currently still dominates sewer inspection, despite the recognition that there is significant uncertainty and cost associated with human based analysis of CCTV images. Different technologies have been developed and deployed to identify defects that are difficult to identify using visual means and that also allow for larger proportions of sewer networks to be inspected. The review has also shown the benefits of multi-sensor approaches when identifying and characterising sewer pipe defects. Emerging inspection technologies can be organised into 3 groups: new sensing technologies, autonomous, multi-sensor inspection platform and adaptation of AI based approaches to better identify and characterise in-pipe defects from CCTV images. It is also clear that new inspection techniques are being developed so that more physically relevant inspection data can be collected to inform the development and use of more physically based pipe/asset structural deterioration models.

description: We calculate the production rate of singlet fermions from the decay of neutral or charged scalar fields in a hot plasma. We find that there are considerable thermal corrections when the temperature of the plasma exceeds the mass of the decaying scalar. We give analytic expressions for the temperature-corrected production rates in the regime where the decay products are relativistic. We also study the regime of non-relativistic decay products numerically. Our results can be used to determine the abundance and momentum distribution of Dark Matter particles produced in scalar decays. The inclusion of thermal corrections helps to improve predictions for the free streaming of the Dark Matter particles, which is crucial to test the compatibility of a given model with cosmic structure formation. With some modifications, our results may be generalised to the production of other Dark Matter candidates in scalar decays.

description: H παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία εστιάζει στο ιδιαίτερα επίκαιρο και σύνθετο ζήτημα της προσφυγικής κρίσης στην Ευρώπη. Με κύριο άξονα την ικανοποίηση των αναγκών, αλλά και την αντιμετώπιση των προκλήσεων που αντιμετωπίζουν οι πρόσφυγες που εισέρχονται στον ελλαδικό χώρο, προτείνεται η ένταξή τους σε ένα πολυδύναμο Κέντρο Φιλοξενίας Προσφύγων, που τοποθετείται στην περιοχή της Νέας Αλικαρνασσού στο Ηράκλειο Κρήτης – μια τοποθεσία που, ιστορικά, σχετίζεται άμεσα με την παρουσία προσφυγικών πληθυσμών. Σκοπός της επέμβασης είναι η διαμόρφωση και η αναβάθμιση της περιοχής μελέτης σε έναν ενοποιητικό αστικό πυρήνα, που θα απευθύνεται τόσο στους πρόσφυγες, όσο και στην τοπική κοινωνία. Στο κτιριακό συγκρότημα του κέντρου φιλοξενίας εντάσσεται πρωτίστως μια δομή κοινωνικής κατοίκησης, που στοχεύει στην άμεση μετάβαση των προσφύγων σε αυτόνομη και μακροπρόθεσμη διαβίωση. Σχεδιάζονται επίσης συμπληρωματικές χρήσεις που αφορούν την παροχή υπηρεσιών στους φιλοξενούμενους πρόσφυγες (σίτιση, εκπαίδευση, ψυχοκοινωνική υποστήριξη, νομική συμβουλευτική κ.ά.), αλλά και χρήσεις με αμιγώς δημόσιο χαρακτήρα. Το κτιριακό συγκρότημα ολοκληρώνεται με τις εγκαταστάσεις μιας φοιτητικής εστίας, που απευθύνεται στους φοιτητές του Ελληνικού Μεσογειακού Πανεπιστημίου. Μέσα από την ενσωμάτωση υφιστάμενων και νέων κτιριακών εγκαταστάσεων και κοινόχρηστων χώρων συνάθροισης, επιχειρείται η δημιουργία ενός ευνοϊκού περιβάλλοντος για την αναζήτηση της ασφάλειας και της αποδοχής που χρειάζονται οι πρόσφυγες, προκειμένου να ενταχθούν ομαλά στο κοινωνικό σύνολο και να αποτελέσουν ένα ισότιμο τμήμα του.

description: Biological systems consistently outperform autonomous systems governed by engineered algorithms in their ability to reactively avoid collisions. To better understand this discrepancy, a collision avoidance algorithm was applied to frames of digitized video trajectory data from bats, swallows and fish (Myotis velifer, Petrochelidon pyrrhonota and Danio aequipinnatus). Information available from visual cues, specifically relative position and velocity, was provided to the algorithm which used this information to define collision cones that allowed the algorithm to find a safe velocity requiring minimal deviation from the original velocity. The subset of obstacles provided to the algorithm was determined by the animal's sensing range in terms of metric and topological distance. The algorithmic calculated velocities showed good agreement with observed biological velocities, indicating that the algorithm was an informative basis for comparison with the three species and could potentially be improved for engineered applications with further study.

description: Tidal marsh wetlands have the capacity to store disproportionately large quantities of Cdespite their small areal extent. Good estimations of this “blue C” are now more critical than ever due to implications for the global C cycle and climate change, especially since C storage in tidal marshes has historically been understudied. In this study, we set out to measure, more accurately estimate, and conceptually model the C stocks in representative tidal marshes of the Mid-Atlantic region. We found that C storage differs significantly in marshes formed among various pedogeomorphic settings due to differences in pedogenic processes and soil morphology. Further, we have demonstrated that the mean C densities of particular soil materials can be used in conjunction with soil morphological descriptions to reliably estimate the C stocks in the absence of laboratory data. Finally, we augmented existing concepts of tidal marshes in the region by incorporating newly gained understandings of the spatial changes in morphology and C stocks across marshes within different pedogeomorphic settings.

The characteristic cycle and the singular support of a constructible sheaf
Creators: name: Saito, Takeshi
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Algebraic Geometry (math.AG)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: We define the characteristic cycle of an etale sheaf as a cycle on the cotangent bundle of a smooth variety in positive characteristic using the singular support recently defined by Beilinson. We prove a formula a la Milnor for the total dimension of the space of vanishing cycles and an index formula computing the Euler-Poincare characteristic, generalizing the Grothendieck-Ogg-Shafarevich formula to higher dimension. An essential ingredient of the construction and the proof is a partial generalization to higher dimension of the semi-continuity of the Swan conductor due to Deligne-Laumon. We prove the index formula by establishing certain functorial properties of characteristic cycles.
description: 79 pages. Beilinson's proof of the integrality of characteristic cycles is included in v3. Proofs of the pull-back formula and the index formula are replaced in v4 by those based on Radon transform, due to Beilinson

description: Selaginella anceps (C.Presl) C.Presl, Abh. Königl. Böhm. Ges. Wiss., ser. 5, 3: 581. 1845.
 Range: — Costa Rica to Venezuela, northern Brazil (Valdespino 2015a), and Bolivia (BE, CO, LP, SC).
 Ecology: —Locally common; terrestrial in humid forests, also in secondary habitats; to 700 m.
 Notes: — Selaginella lechleri Hieron. from Colombia to Peru, may occur in Bolivia. It differs from S. anceps by its basally denticulate (vs. ciliolate) median leaves, and ascending to spreading (vs. appressed) leaves on the main stems just beyond the first branches, so that near the axil of the first branch the stems and leaves are broader (4–5 mm vs. 1–3 mm wide).

description: Numerous studies have investigated the relationship between the built environment and physical activity. However these studies assume that these relationships are invariant over space. In this study, we introduce a novel method to analyze the association between access to recreational facilities and exercise allowing for spatial heterogeneity. In addition, this association is studied before and after controlling for crime, a variable that could explain spatial heterogeneity of associations. We use data from the Chicago site of the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis of 781 adults aged 46 years and over. A spatially varying coefficient Tobit regression model is implemented in the Bayesian setting to allow for the association of interest to vary over space. The relationship is shown to vary over Chicago, being positive in the south but negative or null in the north. Controlling for crime weakens the association in the south with little change observed in northern Chicago. The results of this study indicate that spatial heterogeneity in associations of environmental factors with health may vary over space and deserve further exploration.

description: In the Northeastern Chukchi Sea’s Barrow Canyon, modeling indicates that converging currents rapidly downwell high volumes of labile carbon creating a benthic biological hotspot. Utilizing a Drop Camera Video System, this thesis analyzes the epibenthic population across upper Barrow Canyon along the Distributed Biological Observatory transect DBO5. Results show that overall abundance of epibenthic fauna is highly correlated with depth while diversity is correlated with water mass variables such as bottom water temperature, salinity, nutrient concentrations, current speeds, and sediment grain size. Higher taxonomic diversity is found along the inshore slope of Barrow Canyon and correlated with conditions associated with the swifter inshore Alaskan Coastal Water. Taken together these data show that while particulate food and associated epibenthic abundance is highest in the Canyon’s trough, there is a zonation of organisms between the inshore and offshore slope with the inshore slope supporting a higher diversity and predominantly suspension feeding organisms.

Efficient estimation of semiparametric transformation models for the cumulative incidence of competing risks

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: The cumulative incidence is the probability of failure from the cause of interest over a certain time period in the presence of other risks. A semiparametric regression model proposed by Fine and Gray (1999) has become the method of choice for formulating the effects of covariates on the cumulative incidence. Its estimation, however, requires modeling of the censoring distribution and is not statistically efficient. In this paper, we present a broad class of semiparametric transformation models which extends the Fine and Gray model, and we allow for unknown causes of failure. We derive the nonparametric maximum likelihood estimators (NPMLEs) and develop simple and fast numerical algorithms using the profile likelihood. We establish the consistency, asymptotic normality, and semiparametric efficiency of the NPMLEs. In addition, we construct graphical and numerical procedures to evaluate and select models. Finally, we demonstrate the advantages of the proposed methods over the existing ones through extensive simulation studies and an application to a major study on bone marrow transplantation.
