description: Mercury is a persistent toxic substance and once in the environment it can be transformed by bacteria into methylmercury which bioaccumulates in food chains. Prevention of mercury releases are key to protecting human health. Alternatives to mercury in products are now available and further phase-outs are underway as the Minamata Convention progresses toward its aims. In the European Union, mercury is a priority substance for safe removal from WEEE collected and treated. Despite mercury phase outs, WEEE items will continue to necessitate mercury depollution for many years to come. Capture of mercury-added product waste and their replacement products at source protects health, the environment and progresses the circular economy in terms of job creation and critical raw materials recovery. This paper presents an analysis of mercury-containing WEEE observed in scrap metal sites and kerbside waste collection in Ireland, these items did not undergo depollution and so the mercury contained within is lost to the environment. Mercury-added products found in metal scrap included desktop PCs, laptops, screens, LCD, LED and plasma screens and monitors, and assorted fluorescent and special lamps. It is estimated that a minimum of 17.89 kgs of mercury was released to the environment in 2018 due to inappropriate WEEE management from demolition, renovation, and home maintenance activities. Whilst the impact of the Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive in reducing mercury content in products is undoubtably positive, mercury emissions due to historic WEEE, professional WEEE, and batteries are not fully understood. The key loss of mercury was due to inappropriate gas discharge lamp handling at scrap metal sites and in municipal wastes. Protecting local environments from exposure and ensuring the safe recovery of mercury should be prioritised. The findings of this research highlight an urgent need to develop indicators of mercury added product stocks and flows to optimise hazardous waste management in support of the circular economy. Improved material flow analysis with respect to mercury-added products are necessary for more accurate esti?mates in national inventories, thereby aiding global efforts to eliminate anthropogenic mercury releases espe?cially from secondary release sources.

description: We report the experimental observation and control of space and time-resolved light-matter Rabi oscillations in a microcavity. Our setup precision and the system coherence are so high that coherent control can be implemented with amplification or switching off of the oscillations and even erasing of the polariton density by optical pulses. The data is reproduced by a fundamental quantum optical model with excellent accuracy, providing new insights on the key components that rule the polariton dynamics.

description: This paper gives a replica analysis for the minimum mean square error (MSE) of a massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system by using Bayesian inference. The Bayes-optimal estimator is adopted to estimate the data symbols and the channels from a block of received signals in the spatial-temporal domain. We show that using the Bayes-optimal estimator, the interfering signals from adjacent cells can be separated from the received signals without pilot information. In addition, the MSEs with respect to the data symbols and the channels of the desired users decrease with the number of receive antennas and the number of data symbols, respectively. There are no residual interference terms that remain bounded away from zero as the numbers of receive antennas and data symbols approach infinity.

description: We have investigated the dynamical stability of the proposed companions orbiting the Algol type short-period eclipsing binary SW Lyncis (Kim et al. 2010). The two candidate companions are of stellar to sub-stellar nature, and were inferred from timing measurements of the system's primary and secondary eclipses. We applied well-tested numerical techniques to accurately integrate the orbits of the two companions and to test for chaotic dynamical behaviour. We carried out the stability analysis within a systematic parameter survey varying both the geometries and orientation of the orbits of the companions, as well as their masses. In all our numerical integrations we found that the proposed SW Lyn multi-body system is highly unstable on time-scales on the order of 1000 years. Our results cast doubt on the interpretation that the timing variations are caused by two companions. This work demonstrates that a straightforward dynamical analysis can help to test whether a best-fit companion-based model is a physically viable explanation for measured eclipse timing variations. We conclude that dynamical considerations reveal that the propsed SW Lyncis multi-body system most likely does not exist or the companions have significantly different orbital properties as conjectured in Kim et al. (2010).

description: The excited baryon masses are analyzed in the framework of the $1/N_c$ expansion using the available physical masses and also the masses obtained in lattice QCD for different quark masses. The baryon states are organized into irreducible representations of $SU(6)\times O(3)$, where the $[{\bf{56}},\ell^P=0^+]$ ground state and excited baryons, and the $[{\bf{56}},2^+]$ and $[{\bf{70}},1^-]$ excited states are analyzed. The analyses are carried out to order 1/Nc and first order in the quark masses. The issue of state identifications is discussed. Numerous parameter independent mass relations result at those orders, among them the well known Gell-Mann-Okubo and Equal Spacing relations, as well as additional relations involving baryons with different spins. It is observed that such relations are satisfied at the expected level of precision. From the quark mass dependence of the coefficients in the baryon mass formulas an increasingly simpler picture of the spin-flavor composition of the baryons is observed with increasing quark masses, as measured by the number of significant mass operators.

description: Проблема роста занятости пожилых людей требует ее детального анализа в регионах различных типов. Однако в российских регионах ресурсного типа занятость пожилых людей пока не оценивалась специально. Цель работы – оценка состояния занятости пожилых людей в российских регионах ресурсного типа. Использованы официальные статистические данные о состоянии рынка труда и занятости, обрабатываемые с помощью показателей дескриптивной статистики и статистического анализа динамики (Т-критерий Уилкоксона (Wilcoxon)). Для интегральной оценки использованы авторские коэффициенты занятости пожилых людей и построение рейтинга путем аддитивной свертки этих показателей. Рассматривалось 16 регионов России ресурсного типа, где доля добычи полезных ископаемых в валовом региональном продукте выше, чем у любого другого вида экономической деятельности. Выявлен быстрый, статистически значимый рост занятости пожилых людей в регионах ресурсного типа (около 140 тыс. чел., темп прироста более 32%) в 2013-2020 гг., хотя он несколько ниже среднего по стране. В большинстве регионов прирост составил до 25-26%, но в некоторых превысил 70%. Относительные коэффициенты уровня занятости пожилых людей также статистически значимо возросли.

description: The new paradigm of heterostructures based on two-dimensional (2D) atomic crystals has already led to the observation of exciting physical phenomena and creation of novel devices. The possibility of combining layers of different 2D materials in one stack allows unprecedented control over the electronic and optical properties of the resulting material. Still, the current method of mechanical transfer of individual 2D crystals, though allowing exceptional control over the quality of such structures and interfaces, is not scalable. Here we show that such heterostructures can be assembled from chemically exfoliated 2D crystals, allowing for low-cost and scalable methods to be used in the device fabrication.

description: In this article we continue to test cosmological models centred on Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) with light sterile neutrinos, which could in principle be a way to solve the fine-tuning problems of the standard model on galaxy scales while preserving successful predictions on larger scales. Due to previous failures of the simple MOND cosmological model, here we test a speculative model where the modified gravitational field is produced only by the baryons and the sterile neutrinos produce a purely Newtonian field (hence Modified Baryonic Dynamics). We use two component cosmological simulations to separate the baryonic N-body particles from the sterile neutrino ones. The premise is to attenuate the over-production of massive galaxy cluster halos which were prevalent in the original MOND plus light sterile neutrinos scenario. Theoretical issues with such a formulation notwithstanding, the Modified Baryonic Dynamics model fails to produce the correct amplitude for the galaxy cluster mass function for any reasonable value of the primordial power spectrum normalisation.

Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen steering provides the advantage in entanglement-assisted subchannel discrimination with one-way measurements

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: Steering is the entanglement-based quantum effect that embodies the "spooky action at a distance" disliked by Einstein and scrutinized by Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen. Here we provide a necessary and sufficient characterization of steering, based on a quantum information processing task: the discrimination of branches in a quantum evolution, which we dub subchannel discrimination. We prove that, for any bipartite steerable state, there are instances of the quantum subchannel discrimination problem for which this state allows a correct discrimination with strictly higher probability than in absence of entanglement, even when measurements are restricted to local measurements aided by one-way communication. On the other hand, unsteerable states are useless in such conditions, even when entangled. We also prove that the above steering advantage can be exactly quantified in terms of the steering robustness, which is a natural measure of the steerability exhibited by the state.

description: Spätestens seit der Komposition der Oper Donna Diana (1894) war Emil Nikolaus von Reznicek (1860-1945) in der Musikwelt ein geläufiger Name. Als Dirigent und Lehrer reiste er durch Europa. Ab 1911 war er freischaffend tätig und bewies in vielen Genres sein handwerkliches Können, das er bei W. Meyer-Rémy, C. Reinecke und S. Jadassohn erlernt hatte. Seit der Nachkriegszeit ab 1945 taucht der Name E. N. von Reznicek nur noch am Rande des Konzertlebens auf. Die musikwissenschaftliche Forschung widmet sich zumeist anderen Vertretern der 1860er Generation. Der Komponist, der zwei Weltkriege erlebte, ist gerade deshalb der näheren Betrachtung wert, weil sich sein Schaffen durch eine Zeit von großen politischen und gesellschaftlichen Zerwürfnissen und Veränderungen hindurch entwickelte. Der Aufsatz thematisiert ausgewählte Ergebnisse der 2019 eingereichten Masterarbeit der Autorin zum Thema 'Emil Nikolaus von Rezniceks „in Memoriam“ – Zur Werkgestalt vor dem historischen Hintergrund'. Mit dieser Arbeit konnte erstmals eine wissenschaftliche Betrachtung eines Werkes des Komponisten unter Verknüpfung von historisch-biographischen, musikalischen und theologischen Gesichtspunkten erfolgen. Forschungsprojekte, die die genannten Aspekte in ähnlicher Weise verknüpfen, gibt es zu E. N. von Rezniceks Schaffen bis zu diesem Zeitpunkt nicht. In einem methodischen Dreischritt aus Auswertung biographischer Quellen, theologischer Exegese des Werktextes und musiktheoretischer Analyse der Partitur konnten Erkenntnisse über das Verständnis des Komponisten von Krieg und Frieden zur Zeit des Ersten Weltkriegs und die Intention des Komponisten in Bezug auf das Chorwerk "In memoriam" (1915/1928) selbst gewonnen werden.

description: Protomagnetars spun up to millisecond rotation periods by supernova fallback are predicted to radiate gravitational waves via hydrodynamic instabilities for ~ 10^2 s before possibly collapsing to form a black hole. It is shown that magnetic funnelling of the accretion flow (i) creates a magnetically confined polar mountain, which boosts the gravitational wave signal, and (ii) "buries" the magnetic dipole moment, delaying the propeller phase and assisting black hole formation.

Creators: name: Marquez, Federico

Publisher: name: Elsevier
Year: 2022

description: We study the behavior of the dual quark condensate ∑1 in the Nambu–Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model and its nonlocal variant. In quantum chromodynamics ∑1 can be related to the breaking of the center symmetry and is therefore an (approximate) order parameter of confinement. The deconfinement transition is then signaled by a strong rise of ∑1 as a function of temperature. However, a similar behavior is also seen in the NJL model, which is known to have no confinement. Indeed, it was shown that in this model the rise of ∑1 is triggered by the chiral phase transition. In order to shed more light on this issue, we calculate ∑1 for several variants of the NJL model, some of which have been suggested to be confining. Switching between “confining” and “non-confining” models and parametrizations we find no qualitative difference in the behavior of ∑1, namely, it always rises in the region of the chiral phase transition. We conclude that without having established a relation to the center symmetry in a given model, ∑1 should not blindly be regarded as an order parameter of confinement.

description: The univariate quantile-quantile (Q-Q) plot is a well-known graphical tool for examining whether two data sets are generated from the same distribution or not. It is also used to determine how well a specified probability distribution fits a given sample. In this article, we develop and study a multivariate version of the Q-Q plot based on the spatial quantile. The usefulness of the proposed graphical device is illustrated on different real and simulated data, some of which have fairly large dimensions. We also develop certain statistical tests that are related to the proposed multivariate Q-Q plot and study their asymptotic properties. The performance of those tests are compared with that of some other well-known tests for multivariate distributions available in the literature.

Aβ plaques

description: Aβ plaques are one of the two lesions in the brain that define the neuropathological diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease. Plaques are highly diverse structures; many of them include massed, fibrillar polymers of the Aβ protein referred to as Aβ-amyloid, but some lack the defining features of amyloid. Cellular elements in ‘classical’ plaques include abnormal neuronal processes and reactive glial cells, but these are not present in all plaques. Plaques have been given various names since their discovery in 1892, including senile plaques, amyloid plaques, and neuritic plaques. However, with the identification in the 1980s of Aβ as the obligatory and universal component of plaques, the term ‘Aβ plaques’ has become a unifying term for these heterogeneous formations. Tauopathy, the second essential lesion of the Alzheimer’s disease diagnostic dyad, is downstream of Aβ-proteopathy, but it is critically important for the manifestation of dementia. The etiologic link between Aβ-proteopathy and tauopathy in Alzheimer’s disease remains largely undefined. Aβ plaques develop and propagate via the misfolding, self-assembly and spread of Aβ by the prion-like mechanism of seeded protein aggregation. Partially overlapping sets of risk factors and sequelae, including inflammation, genetic variations, and various environmental triggers have been linked to plaque development and idiopathic Alzheimer’s disease, but no single factor has emerged as a requisite cause. The value of Aβ plaques per se as therapeutic targets is uncertain; although some plaques are sites of focal gliosis and inflammation, the complexity of inflammatory biology presents challenges to glia-directed intervention. Small, soluble, oligomeric assemblies of Aβ are enriched in the vicinity of plaques, and these probably contribute to the toxic impact of Aβ aggregation on the brain. Measures designed to reduce the production or seeded self-assembly of Aβ can impede the formation of Aβ plaques and oligomers, along with their accompanying abnormalities; given the apparent long timecourse of the emergence, maturation and proliferation of Aβ plaques in humans, such therapies are likely to be most effective when begun early in the pathogenic process, before significant damage has been done to the brain. Since their discovery in the late 19th century, Aβ plaques have, time and again, illuminated fundamental mechanisms driving neurodegeneration, and they should remain at the forefront of efforts to understand, and therefore treat, Alzheimer’s disease.

Neuropathology as a Life-Task
Creators: name: Jänisch, Werner
Publisher: name: Free Neuropathology
Year: 2020

description: Neuropathology as a special field in medicine saw its development not until the second half of the twentieth century. Its roots are in neurology and pathology. Its significance has risen because of the emergence of neurosurgergy. The validity of neuropathological diagnoses greatly increased especially because of the application of immunohistochemistry and genetics. This may have been the rationale for the editor of this journal to have neuropathologists’ paths of life delineated for future generations under the heading “Reflections.” This includes the various pathways and detours to neuropathology and the ways research findings have been generated, which may eventually prove important or useless. It has been the desire of the editor that authors not only reflect on their professional activities and experiences, but also present themselves as persons. This paper should not be intended as an autobiography, but the development and experiences of the author be presented in appropriate length. I think of this as a good approach, which I will attempt to pursue.

The applicability of the wind compression model

description: Compression of the stellar winds from rapidly rotating hot stars is described by the wind compression model. However, it was also shown that rapid rotation leads to rotational distortion of the stellar surface, resulting in the appearance of non-radial forces acting against the wind compression. In this note we justify the wind compression model for moderately rotating white dwarfs and slowly rotating giants. The former could be conducive to understanding density/ionization structure of the mass outflow from symbiotic stars and novae, while the latter can represent an effective mass-transfer mode in the wide interacting binaries.

Bio-inspired electroconductive scaffolds for spinal cord injury repair

description: Background: Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a debilitating disorder which often results in the loss of motor and sensory function of the patient, as well as paralysis at or below the injury site. Currently there is no effective treatment for SCI. A recent trend in tissue engineered (TE) scaffolding materials for SCI has emerged in the form of conductive materials. Various conductive additives have been combined with hydrogels to infer electroconductivity, though the major drawbacks of using these conductive additives arise from low conductivity in neutral pH, insolubility in water and poor biocompatibility.Methods: The central research question of this thesis centres on the development and characterisation of novel hybrid biomaterials which can be processed into scaffolds for use in SCI repair strategies. The main objective is the replication of the spinal cord's native extracellular matrix by utilising biomaterials such as alginate, gelatin and/or hyaluronic acid. This objective was furthered through the incorporation of novel electroconductive additives such as carbon nanofibers (CNFs), and novel Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) and polypyrrole (PPy) submicron particles (MPs) synthetised via the mini-emulsion method. Techniques used to characterise these electroconductive materials included compression, FTIR, swelling studies, rheology, in-vitro, and in-vivo biocompatibility studies.Results: Chemical crosslinking of gelatin and hyaluronic acid with N-(3-Dimethylaminopropyl)-N′-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC): N?hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) resulted in mechanical properties which matched that of the native spinal cord at 1.2±0.2 MPa. Incorporation of the conductive additives increased the conductivities to 4.1×10-4±2×10-5 , 4.3×10-6±1.1×10-6 and 8.3×10-4±8.1×10-5 S/cm for the CNF, PPy MP and PEDOT MP scaffolds respectively. In-vitro studies showed the scaffolds are cytocompatible. In-vivo assessment in a rat SCI lesion model with a PEDOT MP scaffold showed decreased levels of inflammation at the site of injury with glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), macrophage and microglia staining, as well as increased axon migration towards the scaffold observed.Conclusions: The incorporation of conductive additives into biomaterial scaffolds enhances not only the conductive capabilities of the material, but also the provision of a healing environment. Hence, conductive scaffolds are a promising TE option for stimulating regeneration following SCI.

description: Age-related hearing loss (AHL) typically starts from high frequency regions of the cochlea and over time invades lower frequency regions. During this progressive hearing loss, sound-evoked activity in spiral ganglion cells is reduced. DBA mice have an early onset of AHL. In this study, we examined synaptic transmission at the endbulb of Held synapse between auditory nerve fibers and bushy cells in the anterior ventral cochlear nucleus (AVCN). Synaptic transmission in hearing-impaired high frequency areas of the AVCN was altered in old DBA mice. The spontaneous mEPSC frequency was greatly reduced (∼60%), and mEPSCs were significantly slower (∼115%) and smaller (∼70%) in high frequency regions of old (average age 45d) DBA mice compared to tonotopically matched regions of young (average age 22d) DBA mice. Moreover, synaptic release probability was about 30% higher in high frequency regions of young DBA than that in old DBA mice. Auditory nerve-evoked EPSCs showed less rectification in old DBA mice, suggesting recruitment of GluR2 subunits into the AMPA receptor complex. No similar age-related changes in synaptic release or EPSCs were found in age matched, normal hearing young and old CBA mice. Taken together, our results suggest that auditory nerve activity plays a critical role in maintaining normal synaptic function at the endbulb of Held synapse after the onset of hearing. Auditory nerve activity regulates both presynaptic (release probability) and postsynaptic (receptor composition and kinetics) function at the endbulb synapse after the onset of hearing.
