description: Naturwissenschaftler und Ingenieure haben sich zusammengeschlossen, um eine neuartige Röntgenquelle zur Strahlentherapie zu entwickeln, welche Krebszellen mithilfe der Mikrostrahltherapie präziser zerstören kann, ohne das anliegende Gewebe zu schädigen. DasProjekt "Microflash" wurde 2015 mit der Idee der Mikrostrahltherapie gestartet und es wurde im Jahr 2022 mit dem Bau des ersten Prototyps begonnen, welcher im Rahmen dieser Arbeit behandelt wird.Für einen problemlosen Start der nächsten Phase des Projektes, die klinische Prüfung, müssen die Sicherheit der Maschine garantiert und die Risiken des Prototyps analysiert und beurteilt werden.Die Grundlage zur Erstellung dieser Arbeit ist die Recherche nach anwendbaren Normen und die Beschreibung des Aufbaus der Sub- und Gesamtsysteme der Röntgenquelle.Daraufhin werden die notwendigen Normen angewandt, als auch Lösungsvorschläge der Normen erläutert. Die Bewertung zeigte, dass viele konstruktive Empfehlungen der Norm erfüllt worden sind,jedoch noch eine Risikomanagementakte angelegt werden muss. Die Software ist noch nicht entwickelt, weshalb bei der Entwicklung dieser, die passenden Normen angewendet werdensollten, damit diese zielführender und schneller abläuft.

description: The surge in availability of genomic data holds promise for enabling determination of genetic causes of observed individual traits, with applications to problems such as discovery of the genetic roots of phenotypes, be they molecular phenotypes such as gene expression or metabolite concentrations, or complex phenotypes such as diseases. However, the growing sizes of these datasets and the quadratic, cubic or higher scaling characteristics of the relevant algorithms pose a serious computational challenge necessitating use of leadership scale computing. In this paper we describe a new approach to performing vector similarity metrics calculations, suitable for parallel systems equipped with graphics processing units (GPUs) or Intel Xeon Phi processors. Our primary focus is the Proportional Similarity metric applied to Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS) and Phenome Wide Association Studies (PheWAS). We describe the implementation of the algorithms on accelerated processors, methods used for eliminating redundant calculations due to symmetries, and techniques for efficient mapping of the calculations to many-node parallel systems. Results are presented demonstrating high per-node performance and parallel scalability with rates of more than five quadrillion elementwise comparisons achieved per second on the ORNL Titan system. In a companion paper we describe corresponding techniques applied to calculations of the Custom Correlation Coefficient for comparative genomics applications.

Expanding the Scope of the Paternò-Büchi Reaction Methodology Development and Mechanistic Studies
Creators: name: Michalska, Weronika
Publisher: name: Lancaster University
Year: 2023

description: This thesis describes the development of the Paternò-Büchi reaction between aliphatic ketones and maleic acid derivatives. Chapter 1 discusses the current literature around oxetanes, and methods for their synthesis, particularly via the Paternò-Büchi reaction. The potential and importance of oxetane rings is highlighted, alongside current scope limitations of the Paternò-Büchi reaction. Chapter 2 investigates the Paternò-Büchi reaction between acetone and maleic anhydride to yield an oxetane product that requires further transformations to allow complete purification. A series of transformation reactions was developed to easily and diversely functionalize the formed oxetane products. A side product formed through dimerization of maleic anhydride was successfully removed after the reaction was complete. Chapter 3 expands on the scope of the Paternò-Büchi reaction by using cyclic ketones in the reaction with maleic anhydride to form a series of spirocyclic oxetanes. The initial reaction conditions were based on work presented in Chapter 2 and these conditions were optimized; the dimerization of maleic anhydride was successfully supressed with p-xylene, further increasing the isolated yield of the oxetane product. Different cyclic ketones were used in the Paternò-Büchi reaction, creating a library of oxetane-containing spirocycles. Chapter 4 includes mechanistic studies performed alongside the formation of oxetanes, such as the use of molecular oxygen in order to quench potential triplet excited states in the reaction mixture. UV-vis spectra of starting materials and reagents were collected, and the different absorption range of maleimide compared to maleic anhydride allowed for distinguishing between different possible reaction pathways of the Paternò-Büchi reaction. Chapter 5 shows a series of different electron-poor alkenes tested in the Paternò-Büchi reaction, giving mixed results. Chapter 6 provides overall conclusions, highlighting the expansion of the scope of the Paternò-Büchi reaction, as well as highlighting difficulties in establishing a full mechanistic picture for photochemical reactions. Additionally, ideas for further work are discussed. Chapter 7 provides the full experimental details and characterization of the novel compounds that have been reported in this thesis (including X-ray crystal structures).

description: Solid-state cooling based on i-caloric effects has shown to be a promising alternative to the conventional refrigeration devices. Only very recently, the research on barocaloric materials is receiving a deal of attention due to the demonstration of giant barocaloric effects in shape-memory alloys. Regarding polymers, there is still a lack of literature, despite their high caloric potential. Thus, we present here giant barocaloric effects in natural rubber, a low-cost and environmental friendly elastomer polymer. The maximum values of entropy and temperature changes are larger than those previously reported for any promising barocaloric material. Moreover, the huge normalized temperature change and refrigerant capacity exhibited by natural rubber confirm its high potential for cooling applications. We also verify a relevant dependence of the barocaloric effect on the glass transition in natural rubber. Our findings suggest that commercial refrigeration devices based on barocaloric effects from elastomer polymers can be envisaged in the near future.

description: We study the magnetic properties of perpendicularly magnetised Pt/Co/Ir thin films and investigate the domain wall creep method of determining the interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) interaction in ultra-thin films. Measurements of the Co layer thickness dependence of saturation magnetisation, perpendicular magnetic anisotropy, and symmetric and antisymmetric (i.e. DM) exchange energies in Pt/Co/Ir thin films have been made to determine the relationship between these properties. We discuss the measurement of the DM interaction by the expansion of a reverse domain in the domain wall creep regime. We show how the creep parameters behave as a function of in-plane bias field and discuss the effects of domain wall roughness on the measurement of the DM interaction by domain expansion. Whereas modifications to the creep law with DM field and in-plane bias fields have taken into account changes in the energy barrier scaling parameter $α$, we find that both $α$ and the velocity scaling parameter $v_{0}$ change as a function of in-plane bias field.

The interactive role of handedness and lesion side in the comorbidity of post-stroke cognitive impairments

description: Neuroscience textbooks readily proclaim language predominantly relies on the left hemisphere, while spatial cognition is chiefly supported by the right cerebral hemisphere. However, this typical pattern of functional hemisphere segregation accounts for only 78% of right-handers and 61% of left-handers (Gerrits, 2022). Crowding patterns, where both functions are dominant in the same hemisphere, are not particularly rare (20% of right-handers and 31% of left-handers) and mostly result from shared dominance in the left hemisphere (17% of right-handers and 17% of left-handers). Occasionally a mirror-reversal is observed as well (< 1% of right-handers vs 7% of left-handers). Similar variability has been observed for other pairs and traids of lateralized mental capacities. Such individual differences in "functional hemispheric segregation" have important clinical implications, for example for the clustering of cognitive symptoms after unilateral stroke. For example, when the neurocognitive networks that underlay language and spatial attention are dominantly hosted within the same hemisphere they have partial neural and vascular overlap. Hence, substantial injury to that hemisphere will likely result in comorbid aphasia and neglect. Knowledge about variability in hemisphere segregation of the healthy brain may thus inform us about the likelihood with which post-stroke deficits in lateralized cognitive functions may co-occur. As the prevalence of crowding in the undamaged brain depends on hand preference and the hemisphere, comorbidity of stroke impairments is expected to covery with patient handedness and lesion laterality.

description: Hyperspectral image analysis often requires selecting the most informative bands instead of processing the whole data without losing the key information. Existing band reduction (BR) methods have the capability to reveal the nonlinear properties exhibited in the data but at the expense of loosing its original representation. To cope with the said issue, an unsupervised non-linear segmented and non-segmented stacked denoising autoencoder (UDAE) based BR method is proposed. Our aim is to find an optimal mapping and construct a lower-dimensional space that has a similar structure to the original data with least reconstruction error. The proposed method first confronts the original hyperspectral data into smaller regions in a spatial domain and then each region is processed by UDAE individually. This results in reduced complexity and improved efficiency of BR for both semi-supervised and unsupervised tasks, i.e. classification and clustering. Our experiments on publicly available hyperspectral datasets with various types of classifiers demonstrate the effectiveness of UDAE method which equates favorably with other state-of-the-art dimensionality reduction and BR methods.

Entropy generation and momentum transfer in the superconductor-normal and normal-superconductor phase transformations and the consistency of the conventional theory of superconductivity
Creators: name: Hirsch, J. E.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Since the discovery of the Meissner effect the superconductor to normal (S-N) phase transition in the presence of a magnetic field is understood to be a first order phase transformation that is reversible under ideal conditions and obeys the laws of thermodynamics. The reverse (N-S) transition is the Meissner effect. This implies in particular that the kinetic energy of the supercurrent is not dissipated as Joule heat in the process where the superconductor becomes normal and the supercurrent stops. In this paper we analyze the entropy generation and the momentum transfer between the supercurrent and the body in the S-N transition and the N-S transition as described by the conventional theory of superconductivity. We find that it is impossible to explain the transition in a way that is consistent with the laws of thermodynamics unless the momentum transfer between the supercurrent and the body occurs with zero entropy generation, for which the conventional theory of superconductivity provides no mechanism. Instead, we point out that the alternative theory of hole superconductivity does not encounter such difficulties.

description: My master's thesis at the Technische Hochschule Köln. The aim was to develop an optimisation algorithm that maximises the utilisation of the distribution grid by coordinating several electric vehicles along a grid line during charging. In this way, the utilisation of the distribution network is to be maximised and at the same time an overload of the network is to be prevented. In addition, customer requirements (such as departure time and desired state-of-charge) are taken into account and non-discriminatory charging is made possible.

Topological enslavement in evolutionary games on correlated multiplex networks

description: Governments and enterprises strongly rely on incentives to generate favorable outcomes from social and strategic interactions between individuals. The incentives are usually modeled by payoffs in evolutionary games, such as the prisoner's dilemma or the harmony game, with imitation dynamics. Adjusting the incentives by changing the payoff parameters can favor cooperation, as found in the harmony game, over defection, which prevails in the prisoner's dilemma. Here, we show that this is not always the case if individuals engage in strategic interactions in multiple domains. In particular, we investigate evolutionary games on multiplex networks where individuals obtain an aggregate payoff. We explicitly control the strength of degree correlations between nodes in the different layers of the multiplex. We find that if the multiplex is composed of many layers and degree correlations are strong, the topology of the system enslaves the dynamics and the final outcome, cooperation or defection, becomes independent of the payoff parameters. The fate of the system is then determined by the initial conditions.

description: In [L. Chen and R. Li, Journal of Scientific Computing, Vol. 68, pp. 1172--1197, (2016)], an integrated linear reconstruction was proposed for finite volume methods on unstructured grids. However, the geometric hypothesis of the mesh to enforce a local maximum principle is too restrictive to be satisfied by, for example, locally refined meshes or distorted meshes generated by arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian methods in practical applications. In this paper, we propose an improved integrated linear reconstruction approach to get rid of the geometric hypothesis. The resulting optimization problem is a convex quadratic programming problem, and hence can be solved efficiently by classical active-set methods. The features of the improved integrated linear reconstruction include that i). the local maximum principle is fulfilled on arbitrary unstructured grids, ii). the reconstruction is parameter-free, and iii). the finite volume scheme is positivity-preserving when the reconstruction is generalized to the Euler equations. A variety of numerical experiments are presented to demonstrate the performance of this method.

description: Weighted Lie algebroids were recently introduced as Lie algebroids equipped with an additional compatible non-negative grading, and represent a wide generalisation of the notion of a VB -algebroid. There is a close relation between two term representations up to homotopy of Lie algebroids and VB - algebroids. In this paper we show how this relation generalises to weighted Lie algebroids and in doing so we uncover new and natural examples of higher term representations up to homotopy of Lie algebroids. Moreover, we show how the van Est theorem generalises to weighted objects.

Tidal Disruption of a White Dwarf by a Black Hole: The Diversity of Nucleosynthesis, Explosion Energy, and the Fate of Debris Streams

description: We run a suite of hydrodynamics simulations of tidal disruption events (TDEs) of a white dwarf (WD) by a black hole (BH) with a wide range of WD/BH masses and orbital parameters. We implement nuclear reactions to study nucleosynthesis and its dynamical effect through release of nuclear energy. The released nuclear energy effectively increases the fraction of unbound ejecta. This effect is weaker for a heavy WD with 1.2 $\mathrm{M}_{\odot}$, because the specific orbital energy distribution of the debris is predominantly determined by the tidal force, rather than by the explosive reactions. The elemental yield of a TDE depends critically on the initial composition of a WD, while the BH mass and the orbital parameters also affect the total amount of synthesized elements. Tanikawa et al. (2017) find that simulations of WD-BH TDEs with low resolution suffer from spurious heating and inaccurate nuclear reaction results. In order to examine the validity of our calculations, we compare the amounts of the synthesized elements with the upper limits of them derived in a way where we can avoid uncertainties due to low resolution. The results are largely consistent, and thus support our findings. We find particular TDEs where early self-intersection of a WD occurs during the first pericentre passage, promoting formation of an accretion disc. We expect that relativistic jets and/or winds would form in these cases because accretion rates would be super-Eddington. The WD-BH TDEs result in a variety of events depending on the WD/BH mass and pericentre radius of the orbit.

description: In warm dark matter scenarios structure formation is suppressed on small scales with respect to the cold dark matter case, reducing the number of low-mass halos and the fraction of ionized gas at high redshifts and thus, delaying reionization. This has an impact on the ionization history of the Universe and measurements of the optical depth to reionization, of the evolution of the global fraction of ionized gas and of the thermal history of the intergalactic medium, can be used to set constraints on the mass of the dark matter particle. However, the suppression of the fraction of ionized medium in these scenarios can be partly compensated by varying other parameters, as the ionization efficiency or the minimum mass for which halos can host star-forming galaxies. Here we use different data sets regarding the ionization and thermal histories of the Universe and, taking into account the degeneracies from several astrophysical parameters, we obtain a lower bound on the mass of thermal warm dark matter candidates of $m_X > 1.3$ keV, or $m_s > 5.5$ keV for the case of sterile neutrinos non-resonantly produced in the early Universe, both at 90\% confidence level.

description: The bound to factor large integers is dominated by the computational effort to discover numbers that are smooth, typically performed by sieving a polynomial sequence. On a von Neumann architecture, sieving has log-log amortized time complexity to check each value for smoothness. This work presents a neuromorphic sieve that achieves a constant time check for smoothness by exploiting two characteristic properties of neuromorphic architectures: constant time synaptic integration and massively parallel computation. The approach is validated by modifying msieve, one of the fastest publicly available integer factorization implementations, to use the IBM Neurosynaptic System (NS1e) as a coprocessor for the sieving stage.

description: The behavior of a surface energy $\mathcal F(E,u)$, where $E$ is a set of finite perimeter and $u\in L^1(\partial^* E, \mathbb R_+)$ is studied. These energies have been recently considered in the context of materials science to derive a new model in crystal growth that takes into account the effect of atoms freely diffusing on the surface (called adatoms), which are responsible for morphological evolution through an attachment and detachment process. Regular critical points, existence and uniqueness of minimizers are discussed and the relaxation of $\mathcal F$ in a general setting under the $L^1$ convergence of sets and the vague convergence of measures is characterized. This is part of an ongoing project aimed at an analytical study of diffuse interface approximations of the associated evolution equations.

title: Essays on financial stability: old and new risk sources
Creators: name: Gianstefani, Ilaria
Publisher: name: IMT Alti Studi Lucca
Year: 2023

description: European Central Bank (ECB) defines financial stability1 as ”a condition
in which the financial system – which comprises financial intermediaries,
markets and market infrastructures – can withstand shocks and unravel
financial imbalances. This mitigates the prospect of disruptions in the
financial intermediation process that are severe enough to impact real
economic activity adversely.” Practically speaking, stability is a balance

among the agents participating in the financial environment: market par-
ticipants weave relationships, creating dependencies and interconnec-
tions. The risks and vulnerabilities affecting one agent can impact many

others, generating a cascade effect that propagates and might throw the
system out of balance. Hence it is essential to identify all the potential
sources of risk in the spirit that if we can recognize the form and assess
the severity, we can cope with specific risks and prevent the system from
unbalancing.

Автор также обратился к исследованию результатов внедрения этого института в практику за год его существования, и пришел к выводу, что отсутствие активности в использовании судебного примирения связано, отнюдь, не с мерами по преодолению последствий COVID-19, а с неактивностью информационной кампании по популяризации судебного примирения со стороны государства.

description: There is a close connection between the ground state of non-interacting fermions in a box with classical (absorbing, reflecting, and periodic) boundary conditions and the eigenvalue statistics of the classical compact groups. The associated determinantal point processes can be extended in two natural directions: i) we consider the full family of admissible quantum boundary conditions (i.e., self-adjoint extensions) for the Laplacian on a bounded interval, and the corresponding projection correlation kernels; ii) we construct the grand canonical extensions at finite temperature of the projection kernels, interpolating from Poisson to random matrix eigenvalue statistics. The scaling limits in the bulk and at the edges are studied in a unified framework, and the question of universality is addressed. Whether the finite temperature determinantal processes correspond to the eigenvalue statistics of some matrix models is, a priori, not obvious. We complete the picture by constructing a finite temperature extension of the Haar measure on the classical compact groups. The eigenvalue statistics of the resulting grand canonical matrix models (of random size) corresponds exactly to the grand canonical measure of non-interacting free fermions with classical boundary conditions.

description: Performance evaluation is crucial to effective destination management in tourism. However, the determinants of successful destinations still remain elusive and there are differing approaches to evaluation. The purpose of this research was to propose a model to evaluate the attributes that contribute to making a destination perform successfully. A set of attributes were put forward to evaluate destination performance. The model was tested in Naples in the south of Italy. A survey of 624 tourists was conducted in the city from December 2021 to January 2022. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was employed to determine a prioritization of attributes. The key attributes with the highest relevance in explaining destination success in the structural model were appearance, access, and assurance. Appearance was the only attribute for which there was a significant difference between Italian and foreign tourists.
A homogeneous $\tilde{A}_2$-building with a non-discrete automorphism group is Bruhat-Tits

description: Let $Δ$ be a locally finite thick building of type $\tilde{A}_2$. We show that, if the type-preserving automorphism group $\mathrm{Aut}(Δ)^+$ of $Δ$ is transitive on panels of each type, then either $Δ$ is Bruhat--Tits or $\mathrm{Aut}(Δ)$ is discrete. For $\tilde{A}_2$-buildings which are not panel-transitive but only vertex-transitive, we give additional conditions under which the same conclusion holds. We also find a local condition under which an $\tilde{A}_2$-building is ensured to be exotic (i.e.\ not Bruhat--Tits). It can be used to show that the number of exotic $\tilde{A}_2$-buildings with thickness $q+1$ and admitting a panel-regular lattice grows super-exponentially with $q$ (ranging over prime powers). All those exotic $\tilde{A}_2$-buildings have a discrete automorphism group.

(2+1)-dimensional interacting model of two massless spin-2 fields as a bi-gravity model

description: We propose a new group-theoretical (Chern-Simons) formulation for the bi-metric theory of gravity in (2+1)-dimensional spacetime which describe two interacting massless spin-2 fields. Our model has been formulated in terms of two dreibeins rather than two metrics. We obtain our Chern-Simons gravity model by gauging {\it mixed AdS-AdS Lie algebra} and show that it has a two dimensional conformal field theory (CFT) at the boundary of the anti de Sitter (AdS) solution. We show that the central charge of the dual CFT is proportional to the mass of the AdS solution. We also study cosmological implications of our massless bi-gravity model.

Data

description: The Interdisciplinary Data Discovery and Access Service (IDDAS) will be one of the components of the FAIR-EASE (FE) technical framework that will provide users with an easy and FAIR service for discovery and access to multidisciplinary and aggregated data sets as managed and provided by a range of existing environmental data infrastructures. The federation of data resources should facilitate the sharing of multi-disciplinary datasets with users, with the FE data lake, and allow for interaction with the Earth Analytic Lab (EAL) that will grant users access to analytical and visualisation services and applications. In D2.1 - Environmental Data Infrastructures: Services Description Report, 19 of these data infrastructures have been described, in particular with a focus on their data discovery and access mechanisms. As a follow-up, this deliverable D2.2 - Environmental Data Infrastructures: Services Analysis Report describes the available data access mechanisms of the data infrastructures and includes an analysis of the extent to which these are already fit for purpose or require further developments.
Spin-Degenerate Regimes for Single Quantum Dots in Transition Metal Dichalcogenide Monolayers

description: Strong spin-orbit coupling in transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) monolayers results in spin resolvable band structures about the $K$ and $K'$ valleys such that the eigenbasis of a 2D quantum dot (QD) in a TMDC monolayer in zero field is described by the Kramers pairs $|0\rangle_-=|K'\uparrow\rangle$, $|1\rangle_-=|K\downarrow\rangle$ and $|0\rangle_+=|K\uparrow\rangle$, $|1\rangle_+=|K'\downarrow\rangle$. The strong spin-orbit coupling limits the usefulness of single TMDC QDs as spin qubits. Possible regimes of spin-degenerate states, overcoming the spin-orbit coupling in monolayer TMDC QDs are investigated in both zero field, where the spin and valley degrees of freedom become fourfold degenerate, and twofold degeneracy in some magnetic field, localised to a given valley. Such regimes are shown to be achievable in MoS$_{2}$, where the spin orbit coupling is sufficiently low and of the right sign such that the spin resolved conduction bands intersect at points about the $K$ and $K'$ valleys and as such may be exploited by selecting suitable critical dot radii.

description: Ballistic transport occurs whenever electrons propagate without collisions deflecting their trajectory. It is normally observed in conductors with a negligible concentration of impurities, at low temperature, to avoid electron-phonon scattering. Here, we use suspended bilayer graphene devices to reveal a new regime, in which ballistic transport is not limited by scattering with phonons or impurities, but by electron-hole collisions. The phenomenon manifests itself in a negative four-terminal resistance that becomes visible when the density of holes (electrons) is suppressed by gate-shifting the Fermi level in the conduction (valence) band, above the thermal energy. For smaller densities transport is diffusive, and the measured conductivity is reproduced quantitatively, with no fitting parameters, by including electron-hole scattering as the only process causing velocity relaxation. Experiments on a trilayer device show that the phenomenon is robust and that transport at charge neutrality is governed by the same physics. Our results provide a textbook illustration of a transport regime that had not been observed previously and clarify the nature of conduction through charge-neutral graphene under conditions in which carrier density inhomogeneity is immaterial. They also demonstrate that transport can be limited by a fully electronic mechanism, originating from the same microscopic processes that govern the physics of Dirac-like plasmas.
