description: We explore the properties of Milky Way subhalos in self-interacting dark matter models for moderate cross sections of 1 to 5 cm$^2$g$^{-1}$ using high-resolution zoom-in N-body simulations. We include the gravitational potential of a baryonic disk and bulge matched to the Milky Way, which is critical for getting accurate predictions. The predicted number and distribution of subhalos within the host halo are similar for 1 and 5 cm$^2$g$^{-1}$ models, and they agree with observations of Milky Way satellite galaxies only if subhalos with peak circular velocity over all time > 4.5 km/s are able to form galaxies. We do not find distinctive signatures in the pericenter distribution of the subhalos that could help distinguish the models. Using an analytic model to extend the simulation results, we are able to show that subhalos in models with cross sections between 1 and 5 cm$^2$g$^{-1}$ are not dense enough to match the densest ultra-faint and classical dwarf spheroidal galaxies in the Milky Way. This motivates velocity-dependent cross sections with values larger than 5 cm$^2$g$^{-1}$ at the velocities relevant for the satellites such that core collapse would occur in some of the ultra-faint and classical dwarf spheroidals.

description: Diese Master Arbeit hat es sich zur Aufgabe gemacht, der räumlichen Entstehung von Shitstorms im sozialen Medium Facebook auf den Grund zu gehen. Dieser Problematik entsprechend werden eine Reihe verschiedener Faktoren und Variablen definiert und auf ihre digitale Bedeutung untersucht. Als Ausgangspunkt dient das Informationszeitalter und die Auswirkung auf Kommunikation und Identität. Im weiteren Verlauf wird der physisch-virtuelle Raum definiert und charakterisiert, der Annahme folgend, soziale Medien existieren in diesem Zwischenraum. Um diesem Raum habhaft zu werden, dient Johan Huizingas Spieltheorie als Grundannahme. Es werden einerseits Spiel und Kultur, genauso wie Virtualität und Spiel in einen gemeinsamen Bezug gesetzt. Im weiteren Verlauf wird das Phänomen des Shitstorms definiert, genauso wie soziale Medien. Nachdem die Erkenntnisse an zwei Beispiel-Shitstorms verdeutlicht werden, wird die abschließende Conclusio der These dieser Arbeit nachgehen, ob Shitstorms als Gewaltphänomen, dem physisch-virtuellen Raum Facebook inhärent sind.

description: In recent times, the advent of network science permitted new quantitative approaches to literary studies. Here we bring the Kyiv bylyny cycle into the field - East Slavic epic narratives originating in modern-day Ukraine. By comparing them to other prominent European epics, we identify universal and distinguishing properties of the social networks in bylyny. We analyse community structures and rank the most important characters. The method allows to bolster hypotheses from humanities literature - such as the position of Prince Volodymyr - and to generate new ones We show how the Kyiv cycle of bylyny fits very well with narrative networks from other nations - especially heroic ones. We anticipate that, besides delivering new narratological insights, this study will aid future scholars and interested public to navigate their way through Ukraine's epic story and identify its heroes.

description: We argue that the interaction between mobility and wealth provides a view that rationalizes low geographic migration rates, despite migration costs being lower than currently thought. We reach this conclusion by developing and solving a quantitative dynamic spatial equilibrium model with endogenous wealth accumulated through liquid and illiquid assets. We estimate a yearly moving cost between Canadian cities of 196,303 CAD for an average adult, substantially lower than previous estimates. To demonstrate the model’s validity, we study policies advocated to reduce disparities: Do moving vouchers or housing affordability policies enhance welfare, especially for the poor? Our findings suggest that moving vouchers only marginally increase the welfare of eligible households, and those who receive the vouchers tend to move to locations with lower house prices and wages. In contrast, our model shows that lower housing regulations in Vancouver can decrease the welfare gap between rich and poor by lowering house prices nationwide through spatial reallocation. Thus, the insurance value of living in high-income cities becomes higher, reducing the incentive for low-wealth families to move precautionarily to locations with low housing costs.
description: Nous faisons valoir que l’interaction entre la mobilité et la richesse permet d’expliquer des taux faibles de migration géographique, malgré des coûts de migration moins élevés qu’on ne le croit actuellement. Nous sommes parvenus à cette conclusion en mettant au point et en résolvant un modèle spatial d’équilibre dynamique et quantitatif avec la richesse comme variable endogène, accumulée au moyen d’avoirs liquides et non liquides. Nous estimons que le coût annuel d’un déménagement entre des villes canadiennes est de 196 303 $ CA pour un adulte moyen, une somme nettement moins élevée en comparaison avec les estimations antérieures. Pour démontrer la validité du modèle, nous examinons des mesures préconisées dans le but de réduire les inégalités : les bons de réinstallation ou les mesures visant à améliorer l’abordabilité des logements ont-ils une incidence sur le bien-être, notamment chez les personnes pauvres? Nos résultats tendent à montrer que les bons de réinstallation n’améliorent que légèrement le bien-être des ménages admissibles, et que les ménages qui reçoivent de tels bons déménagent surtout là où le prix des logements et les salaires sont plus bas. En revanche, notre modèle montre que des réglementations moins sévères en matière de logement à Vancouver peuvent réduire l’écart de bien-être entre les riches et les pauvres en faisant diminuer le prix des logements dans tout le pays grâce à une réaffectation spatiale. En conséquence, la protection que procure le fait d’habiter dans une ville où les revenus sont élevés s’accroît et réduit l’attrait pour les familles moins fortunées d’un déménagement préventif dans des endroits où le prix des logements est moins élevé.

description: The ratio of baryonic-to-dark matter in present-day galaxies constrains galaxy formation theories and can be determined empirically via the baryonic Tully-Fisher relation (BTFR), which compares a galaxy's baryonic mass (Mbary) to its maximum rotation velocity (Vmax). The BTFR is well-determined at Mbary >10^8 Msun, but poorly constrained at lower masses due to small samples and the challenges of measuring rotation velocities in this regime. For 25 galaxies with high-quality data and Mbary <~10^8 Msun, we estimate Mbary from infrared and HI observations and Vmax from the HI gas rotation. Many of the Vmax values are lower limits because the velocities are still rising at the edge of the detected HI disks (Rmax); consequently, most of our sample has lower velocities than expected from extrapolations of the BTFR at higher masses. To estimate Vmax, we map each galaxy to a dark matter halo assuming density profiles with and without cores. In contrast to non-cored profiles, we find the cored profile rotation curves are still rising at Rmax values, similar to the data. When we compare the Vmax values derived from the cored density profiles to our Mbary measurements, we find a turndown of the BTFR at low masses that is consistent with LCDM predictions and implying baryon fractions of 1-10% of the cosmic value. Although we are limited by the sample size and assumptions inherent in mapping measured rotational velocities to theoretical rotation curves, our results suggest that galaxy formation efficiency drops at masses below Mbary~10^8 Msun, corresponding to Mhalo~10^10 Msun.

description: By compiling a comprehensive census of literature studies, we investigate the evolution of the Main Sequence (MS) of star-forming galaxies (SFGs) in the widest range of redshift ($0 < z < 6$) and stellar mass ($10^{8.5}-10^{11.5}$ $M_{\odot}$) ever probed. We convert all observations to a common calibration and find a remarkable consensus on the variation of the MS shape and normalization across cosmic time. The relation exhibits a curvature towards the high stellar masses at all redshifts. The best functional form is governed by two parameters: the evolution of the normalization and the turnover mass ($M_0(t)$), which both evolve as a power law of the Universe age. The turn-over mass determines the MS shape. It marginally evolves with time, making the MS slightly steeper towards $z\sim4-6$. At stellar masses below $M_0(t)$, SFGs have a constant specific SFR (sSFR), while above $M_0(t)$ the sSFR is suppressed. We find that the MS is dominated by central galaxies. This allows to turn $M_0(t)$ into the corresponding host halo mass. This evolves as the halo mass threshold between cold and hot accretion regimes, as predicted by the theory of accretion, where the central galaxy is fed or starved of cold gas supply, respectively. We, thus, argue that the progressive MS bending as a function of the Universe age is caused by the lower availability of cold gas in halos entering the hot accretion phase, in addition to black hole feedback. We also find qualitatively the same trend in the largest sample of star-forming galaxies provided by the IllustrisTNG simulation. Nevertheless, we still note large quantitative discrepancies with respect to observations, in particular at the high mass end. These can not be easily ascribed to biases or systematics in the observed SFRs and the derived MS.

description: Wormholes that meet the flare-out condition violate the weak energy condition in classical general relativity. The purpose of this note is to show that even a slight modification of the gravitational theory could, under certain conditions, avoid this violation for matter threading the wormhole. The first part discusses some general criteria based on the field equations, while the second part assumes a specific equation of state describing normal matter, together with a particular type of shape function. The analysis is confined to wormholes with zero tidal forces.

Subjects: subject: Aquatic sciences, physiology.

description: The nutritional physiology of turbot Scophthalmiis maximus (L.) was investigated in the laboratory under controlled experimental conditions. The study dealt with factors influencing feeding, digestion and absorption in juvenile turbot and explored the partitioning of energy from ingested food. Energy use under varying intrinsic and extrinsic conditions was examined. The results provide an insight into the interrelationships of factors affecting the physiology and hence growth of turbot. The implications of the findings to aquaculture are discussed. A multi-disciplinary approach was adopted and there were many components to the experimental work: study of the gross morphology, histology and ultrastructure of the alimentary tract of turbot; experimental investigations into the effect of various environmental and intrinsic factors on the relationship between ingestion rate, growth rate and conversion efficiency; the rate of transit of food through the gut and assimilation efficiency; maintenance and feeding respiration; body composition; condition factor and hepato-somatic index. The data obtained were collated and used to construct energy partitioning tables for turbot. A review of infectious diseases of turbot, an investigation into the possible parasitic nature of 'rodlet cells', and a study of the host-parasite relationship between turbot and the tapeworm, Bothriocephalus scorpii were also undertaken.

description: Shor's factoring algorithm provides a super-polynomial speed-up over all known classical factoring algorithms. Here, we address the question of which quantum properties fuel this advantage. We investigate a sequential variant of Shor's algorithm with a fixed overall structure and identify the role of coherence for this algorithm quantitatively. We analyze this protocol in the framework of dynamical resource theories, which capture the resource character of operations that can create and detect coherence. This allows us to derive a lower and an upper bound on the success probability of the protocol, which depend on rigorously defined measures of coherence as a dynamical resource. We compare these bounds with the classical limit of the protocol and conclude that within the fixed structure that we consider, coherence is the quantum resource that determines its performance by bounding the success probability from below and above. Therefore, we shine new light on the fundamental role of coherence in quantum computation.

description: Modern lunar-planetary ephemerides are numerically integrated on the observational timespan of more than 100 years (with the last 20 years having very precise astrometrical data). On such long timespans, not only finite difference approximation errors, but also the accumulating arithmetic roundoff errors become important because they exceed random errors of high-precision range observables of Moon, Mars, and Mercury. One way to tackle this problem is using extended-precision arithmetics available on x86 processors. Noting the drawbacks of this approach, we propose an alternative: using double-double arithmetics where appropriate. This will allow to use only double precision floating-point primitives which have ubiquitous support.

description: Die Masterarbeit mit dem Titel „Die erste Generation der Dessert- und Frühstücksstillleben. Kulinarik, Konfekt und Konsum zwischen 1600 und 1640 in Gemälden von Georg Flegel, Osias Beert d. Ä., Clara Peeters und Pieter Claesz“ widmet sich der um 1600 entstandenen neuen Form des Stilllebens: dem Dessertstillleben. Da es sich bei diesen Werken um ein nordeuropäisches Phänomen um Antwerpen, Haarlem, Amsterdam und Frankfurt am Main handelt, steht diese Region im Fokus. Den titelgebenden vier KünstlerInnen wurden die Hauptkapitel gewidmet und exemplarisch werden vier ausgewählte Gemälde für eine intensive Bildbesprechung herangezogen. Dabei wird der Frage nachgegangen, warum sich dieses Sub-Genre entwickeln konnte und wie die meist kleinformatigen Gemälde soziokulturell, historisch, politisch, ökonomisch, theologisch und rezeptionsästhetisch verstanden werden müssen. In den Unterkapiteln wird unter anderem auf die Handelsbeziehungen der Niederlande und ihre Kolonien eingegangen. Wie und was gegessen wurde, woher die Speisen kamen und wie der Import die künstlerisch aufwendigen Bildfindungen beeinflusst haben, sind relevante Fragen, auf welche eingegangen wird. Asiatisches Porzellan, das die Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie (VOC) seit 1602 importierte, sowie zahlreiche andere Motive wie Façon de Venise-Gläser, aufwendig gearbeitete Gold- und Silberschmiedearbeiten, importierte Früchte und Backwaren bzw. Zucker erhalten als dargestellte Kunstobjekte Einzug in die Bilder. In dem Spannungsverhältnis von Kulinarik, Konfekt und Konsum sollen die Gemälde darauf untersucht werden, was die KünstlerInnen am Beginn des 17. Jahrhunderts dazu veranlasste, gedeckte Tische zu malen. Der Einfluss von Sammlungstätigkeiten auf die Kompositionen, die Frage nach AuftraggeberInnen, zeitgenössischen Essgewohnheiten, wie auch die politische Lage und konfessionelle Auseinandersetzungen werden thematisiert.

description: Ultracold atomic gases in two dimensions tuned close to a p-wave Feshbach resonance were expected to exhibit topological superfluidity, but these were found to be experimentally unstable. We show that one can induce a topological Floquet superfluid if weakly interacting atoms are brought suddenly close ("quenched") to such a resonance, in the time before the instability kicks in. The resulting superfluid possesses Majorana edge modes, yet differs from a conventional Floquet system as it is not driven externally. Instead, the periodic modulation is self-generated by the dynamics.

AC driven strongly correlated quantum circuits and Hall edge states: Unified photo-assisted noise and revisited minimal excitations

Subjects: subject: Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics (cond-mat.mes-hall)

description: We study the photo-assisted noise generated by time-dependent or random sources and transmission amplitudes. We show that it obeys a perturbative non-equilibrium fluctuation relation that fully extends the lateral-band transmission picture in terms of many-body correlated states. This relation holds in non-equilibrium strongly correlated systems such as the integer or fractional quantum Hall regime as well as in quantum circuits formed by a normal or Josephson junctions strongly coupled to an electromagnetic environment, with a possible temperature bias. We then show that the photo-assisted noise is universally super-poissonian, giving an alternative to a theorem by L. Levitov {\it et al} which states that an ac voltage increases the noise. Restricted to a linear dc current, we show that the latter does not apply to a non-linear superconducting junction. Then we characterize minimal excitations in non-linear conductors by ensuring a poissonian photo-assisted noise, and show that these can carry a non-trivial charge value in the fractional quantum Hall regime. We also propose methods for shot noise spectroscopy and for a robust determination of the fractional charge which is more advantageous than those we have proposed previously and implemented experimentally.

title: The regulation of caffeine production in Camellia sinensis L. cv. Iranian and Darjeeling tea
Creators: name: Hatamzadeh-Dehboneh, Abdullah
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow

Subjects: subject: Plant sciences

description: In the first part of this project, the distribution of caffeine and associated purine alkaloids in tea seedlings (C. sinensis cv. Iranian tea No. 100, and C. sinensis cv. Darjeeling tea) were investigated. Analysis was carried out by high performance liquid chromatography. The major purine alkaloid in tea seedling is caffeine. More than 90% of the caffeine was detected in the leaves. The highest amounts of caffeine were found in apical bud of Iranian and Darjeeling tea both of which contained ca. 38 mg caffeine per gram fresh weight. The lowest levels of caffeine were found in roots and cotyledons. Theobromine, a precursor of caffeine biosynthesis, was found in leaves, but in amounts far lower than those of caffeine. Trace amounts of paraxanthine were detected occasionally in leaves of Iranian tea. The second part of this project investigated the biosynthesis of caffeine in tea leaves using 14C-labelled adenine and guanine. Both substrates were converted to caffeine but adenine was a more effective precursor than guanine. Time-course and pulse-chase studies showed a transient incorporation of label into theobromine, the immediate precursor of caffeine, prior to a more substantial rise in [14C]caffeine. Biosynthesis of caffeine occurred more extensively in young leaves, declining substantially in mature and aged leaves. Although the exact pathway was not elucidated in this study, the available data supports the operation of an AMP → IMP → xanthosine → theobromine → caffeine pathway. [8-14C]Caffeine was degraded only slowly to 14CO2, via the purine catabolism pathway, which explains the accumulation of endogenous caffeine in tea leaves. Caffeine catabolism was, however, more extensive in leaves incubated in light than in darkness. In the third section of this project, the effects of the phytohormones, abscisic acid, indole-3-acetic acid, gibberellic acid and zeatin, on the metabolism of [8- 14C]adenine and caffeine by the first leaves of Iranian and Darjeeling tea in light and darkness, were investigated. Overall the phytohormones had little effect on the conversion of adenine to caffeine. However, incubations with [8-14C] caffeine showed that in darkness the phytohormones, most notably abscisic acid and indole-3-acetic acid, increased the rate of catabolism of caffeine after 12 h. In light the effect was less marked with caffeine degradation being enhanced by zeatin, and to a lesser degree abscisic acid and gibberellic acid, but only after in incubation period of 24 h.

description: Radiative effects of water ice clouds have noteworthy consequences on the Martian atmosphere, its thermal structure and circulation. Accordingly, the inclusion of such effects in the LMD Mars Global Climate Model (GCM) greatly modifies the simulated Martian water cycle. The intent of this paper is to address the impact of radiatively active clouds on atmospheric water vapor and ice in the GCM and improve its representation. We propose a new enhanced modeling of the water cycle, consisting of detailed cloud microphysics with dynamic condensation nuclei and a better implementation of perennial surface water ice. This physical modeling is based on tunable parameters. This new version of the GCM is compared to the Thermal Emission Spectrometer observations of the water cycle. Satisfying results are reached for both vapor and cloud opacities. However, simulations yield a lack of water vapor in the tropics after Ls=180° which is persistent in simulations compared to observations, as a consequence of aphelion cloud radiative effects strengthening the Hadley cell. Every year, our GCM simulations indicate that permanent surface water ice on the north polar cap increases at latitudes higher than 80°N and decreases at lower latitudes. Supersaturation above the hygropause is predicted in line with SPICAM observations. The model also shows for the first time that the scavenging of dust by water ice clouds alone fails to fully account for observed dust detached layers.

description: Water holds great relevance in various biological and biochemical systems. Water behaves as an excellent solvent, a reactant, a product and a catalyst of the reaction. The organisation of the water molecules, synergised by hydrogen bonds, builds up the structure of the water clusters. These water clusters significantly influence biological functions. To study the domain of water clusters using Ion mobility mass spectrometry with surface activated chemical ionisation. The experimental analysis was aimed to determine the water behaviour in terms of cluster formation before and after the application of a physical effect, namely low-frequency irradiation. A sanist platform-based spectrometer, manufactured by ISB srl with SACI version for protein analysis, was used as the equipment. Furthermore, for samples, we used pure de-ionised water, a part of which was used virgin, and another part was irradiated. Ion-mobility mass spectrometry (IM-MS) procedure was adopted as the experimental method. An electromagnetic frequency fields generator was used to subject the test samples to electromagnetic radiations between 7 Hz to 80 Hz. The presence of neutral water species was confirmed in the water samples. For the same m/z, water ion clusters in the untreated water were found to have a much higher intensity than the electromagnetically treated water. The presence of a water cluster near the (M+H)+ in electromagnetically treated dilute arginine solution was also confirmed. It is possible to detect water ion clusters by using Ion mobility mass spectrometry and SACI with low surface potential (47 V). The water cluster formation and its characteristics were found to be different in the treated and non-treated water. The electromagnetic radiations of low frequency seem to affect the hydrogen bonds of the water molecules.

description: Differentially expressed genes can serve as drug targets and are used to predict drug response and disease progression. In silico drug analysis based on the expression of these genetic biomarkers allows the detection of putative therapeutic agents, which could be used to reverse a pathological gene expression signature. Indeed, a set of bioinformatics tools can increase the accuracy of drug discovery, helping in biomarker identification. Once a drug target is identified, in vitro cell line models of disease are used to evaluate and validate the therapeutic potential of putative drugs and novel natural molecules. This study describes the development of efficacious PCR primers that can be used to identify gene expression of specific genetic pathways, which can lead to the identification of natural molecules as therapeutic agents in specific molecular pathways. For this study, genes involved in health conditions and processes were considered. In particular, the expression of genes involved in obesity, xenobiotics metabolism, endocannabinoid pathway, leukotriene B4 metabolism and signaling, inflammation, endocytosis, hypoxia, lifespan, and neurotrophins were evaluated. Exploiting the expression of specific genes in different cell lines can be useful in in vitro to evaluate the therapeutic effects of small natural molecules.

description: A clinical research requires a systematic approach with diligent planning, execution and sampling in order to obtain reliable and validated results, as well as an understanding of each research methodology is essential for researchers. Indeed, selecting an inappropriate study type, an error that cannot be corrected after the beginning of a study, results in flawed methodology. The results of clinical research studies enhance the repertoire of knowledge regarding a disease pathogenicity, an existing or newly discovered medication, surgical or diagnostic procedure or medical device. Medical research can be divided into primary and secondary research, where primary research involves conducting studies and collecting raw data, which is then analysed and evaluated in secondary research. The successful deployment of clinical research methodology depends upon several factors. These include the type of study, the objectives, the population, study design, methodology/techniques and the sampling and statistical procedures used. Among the different types of clinical studies, we can recognize descriptive or analytical studies, which can be further categorized in observational and experimental. Finally, also pre-clinical studies are of outmost importance, representing the steppingstone of clinical trials. It is therefore important to understand the types of method for clinical research. Thus, this review focused on various aspects of the methodology and describes the crucial steps of the conceptual and executive stages.

title: Tod und Endlichkeit des Lebens
Creators: name: Thallinger, Hanna

description: Der Tod bedeutet das Ende des Lebens. Dies ist eine Gegebenheit, die für alle Menschen gleich ist. Die Terror- Management Theorie (TMT) versucht in diesem Zusammenhang vorherzusagen, wie sich Menschen mit dem Thema Tod auseinandersetzen. Sie postuliert, dass die symbolische und die buchstäbliche Unsterblichkeit als eine Art Puffer auf die negativen Reaktionen bezüglich des Todes fungieren könnten. In der vorliegenden Studie wurde untersucht, ob diese beiden Arten der Unsterblichkeit positiv auf die Todesvermeidung und das affektive Wohlbefinden während eines Gesprächs über den Tod wirken können. Diese Effekte sollten sich explorativ auch auf einer Partnerebene zeigen. Die Daten von 97 Personen, darunter 45 Paare, wurden mittels des Actor-Partner Interdependence Models analysiert. Die Konstrukte der symbolischen und buchstäblichen Unsterblichkeit, sowie der Todesvermeidung wurden mittels eines Eingangsfragebogens erhoben. Das affektive Wohlbefinden wurde direkt nach einem Paargespräch über das Thema „Tod und Sterben“ erfragt. Es stellte sich heraus, dass weder die symbolische noch die buchstäbliche Unsterblichkeit einen Zusammenhang mit der Todesvermeidung oder dem affektiven Wohlbefinden der Individualperson zu haben scheint. Interessant war der Befund einer recht starken Korrelation von Todesvermeidung und affektivem Wohlbefinden nach dem Gespräch über das Thema Tod und Sterben. Auf Partnerebene konnte ein negativer Effekt auf das affektive Wohlbefinden unter dem Aspekt der symbolischen Unsterblichkeit gefunden werden. Ebenso konnte ein signifikant positiver Zusammenhang der buchstäblichen Unsterblichkeit innerhalb der Paare gefunden werden, sowie eine signifikant positive Korrelation von symbolischer und buchstäblicher Unsterblichkeit auf Individualebene. Die Todesvermeidung betreffend, hatte jedoch auch auf Partnerebene keine der beiden Arten einen Einfluss.

description: Two-component dipolar condensates are now experimentally producible, and we theoretically investigate the nature of supersolidity in this system. We predict the existence of a binary supersolid state in which the two components form a series of alternating domains, producing an immiscible double supersolid. Remarkably, we find that a dipolar component can even induce supersolidity in a nondipolar component. In stark contrast to single-component dipolar supersolids, alternating-domain supersolids do not require quantum stabilization, and the number of crystal sites is not strictly limited by the condensate populations, with the density hence being substantially lower. Our results are applicable to a wide range of dipole moment combinations, marking an important step towards long-lived bulk-supersolidity.

description: We embed triangulated categories defined by quivers with potential arising from ideal triangulations of marked bordered surfaces into Fukaya categories of quasi-projective 3-folds associated to meromorphic quadratic differentials. Together with previous results, this yields non-trivial computations of spaces of stability conditions on Fukaya categories of symplectic 6-manifolds.

description: Animal experimentation is widely used around the world for the identification of the root causes of various diseases in humans and animals and for exploring treatment options. Among the several animal species, rats, mice and purpose-bred birds comprise almost 90% of the animals that are used for research purpose. However, growing awareness of the sentience of animals and their experience of pain and suffering has led to strong opposition to animal research among many scientists and the general public. In addition, the usefulness of extrapolating animal data to humans has been questioned. This has led to Ethical Committees’ adoption of the ‘four Rs’ principles (Reduction, Refinement, Replacement and Responsibility) as a guide when making decisions regarding animal experimentation. Some of the essential considerations for humane animal experimentation are presented in this review along with the requirement for investigator training. Due to the ethical issues surrounding the use of animals in experimentation, their use is declining in those research areas where alternative in vitro or in silico methods are available. However, so far it has not been possible to dispense with experimental animals completely and further research is needed to provide a road map to robust alternatives before their use can be fully discontinued.

description: Network meta-analysis (NMA) is a technique used in medical statistics to combine evidence from multiple medical trials. NMA defines an inference and information processing problem on a network of treatment options and trials connecting the treatments. We believe that statistical physics can offer useful ideas and tools for this area, including from the theory of complex networks, stochastic modelling and simulation techniques. The lack of a unique source that would allow physicists to learn about NMA effectively is a barrier to this. In this article we aim to present the `NMA problem' and existing approaches to it coherently and in a language accessible to statistical physicists. We also summarise existing points of contact between statistical physics and NMA, and describe our ideas of how physics might make a difference for NMA in the future. The overall goal of the article is to attract physicists to this interesting, timely and worthwhile field of research.
