description: We have developed an octopole-quadrupole photoionization apparatus at the Advanced Light Source for absolute integral cross-section measurements of rovibrational-state-selected ion-molecule reactions. This apparatus consists of a high-resolution photoionization ion source, a wired ion gate lens, a dual radio-frequency (rf) octopole ion guide reaction gas cell, and a quadrupole mass spectrometer for reactant and product ion detection. The unique feature of this apparatus is the implementation of the high-resolution pulsed field ionization-photoelectron (PFI-PE)-photoion coincidence (PFI-PEPICO) technique, which has allowed the rotational-state selection of diatomic ions for ion-molecule reaction studies. The novel application of the wired ion gate lens for the rejection of false coincidence background ions is described. This application, along with the differential-ion-gate scheme, has made possible the measurements of rovibrational-state-selected absolute integral reaction cross sections for ion-molecule collisions using the PFI-PE-secondary ion coincidence PFI-PESICO method. The successful measurement of absolute state-selected cross sections for H2 + (X,v+,N+)+Ar(Ne) with v+ up to 17 [the third to the last vibrational state of H2+(X)] demonstrates the high sensitivity of this differential-ion-gate PFI-PESICO method. In order to gain a detailed understanding and to obtain optimal performance of the wired ion gate lens for PFI-PESICO measurements, we have carried out ion trajectory calculations of reactant ions between the photoionization region and the rf-octopole ion guide. On the basis of these calculations, possible future improvements for the application of this differential-ion-gate PFI-PESICO scheme are discussed.

description: Braids can be represented geometrically as curve diagrams. The geometric complexity of a braid is the minimal complexity of a curve diagram representing it. We introduce and study the corresponding notion of geometric generating function. We compute explicitly the geometric generating function for the group of braids on three strands and prove that it is neither rational nor algebraic, nor even holonomic. This result may appear as counterintuitive. Indeed, the standard complexity (due to the Artin presentation of braid groups) is algorithmically harder to compute than the geometric complexity, yet the associated generating function for the group of braids on three strands is rational.

description: UNCHAIN deliverable D3.4 is a collection of twelve reports describing the lessons learned in the twelve UNCHAIN case studies. This report presents the findings of Case Study 2, titled “Economic impacts of climate change and adaptation under different socio-economic developments in Germany.” It describes how the Impact Chain based Climate Risk and Vulnerability assessment was applied in the case study, characterizes the results, and details the achieved innovations of the Impact Chain based method. This case study considers future socio-economic developments and extends the impact chain approach by combining it with macro-econometric modeling and scenario analysis. In the case study, different climate impact chains covering three different components of critical infrastructure (transport, energy, health) were investigated in the context of different socio-economic developments. The socio-economic developments are mapped by three national socio-economic scenarios based on the Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs). The future costs of climate change impacts and adaptation were assessed in a scenario analysis using the national macro-econometric model PANTA RHEI. The results are presented using socio-economic indicators such as gross domestic product so that they are comparable and can serve as decisionsupport information. The case study illustrates the need for dynamic risk assessments, as the macroeconomic costs of climate impacts and adaptation measures vary significantly between socio-economic scenarios.

description: This thesis project explores the potential of embodied play to cultivate empathy among students in multicultural classrooms in the western educational context. In a progressively mobile and intermingled world, with greater net flow of immigration from poorer to richer countries and higher birth rate of immigrant population in their new domiciles (Grayling, 2012), I deem the questions of identity, social cohesion, assimilation have become more pressing. Students in multicultural classrooms face new challenges every day. In order to establish an environment in the classroom which is favourable for learning and growth, it is important for students to learn to function cohesively despite the cultural differences between them. This research endeavours to mitigate cultural differences using the vehicle of spices. When students in multicultural classrooms acknowledge that the flavours they enjoy are a result of someone else’s labour, then they become aware of the interdependence of people on one another. Spice growers are largely from the global south. Learning about them through sensory play with spices develops awareness of cultural differences. This can lead to higher acceptance of the many different cultural backgrounds of fellow students. The design outcome of this research are a series of artefacts that use game design as a structured tool to explore embodied play in order to cultivate imagination and empathy among students. The design is targeted towards students who study at university level in multicultural classrooms in privileged western societies. Subjects such as mindfulness, gratitude, pedagogy, sensory design and imagination were explored throughout and have contributed in the journey of this research.

A Comparison Between Known Organic Materials and ∝-Casein Used in the Bacteriological Evaluation of Benzalkonium Chloride
Creators: name: De Diaz, Melida C
Publisher: name: London South Bank University
Year: 1978

description: Conventional tests have used yeast suspension, milk and other types of organic material as soiling agents and it was considered that the variability of these natural products could be overcome by the use of a more standard type of organic material. For this reason ∝-casein was compared with yeast suspension and milk concentrations on Benzalkonium chloride efficiency. Using a suspension test method with Escherichia coli (NCTC 8196) and Staphylococcus aureus (NCTC 4163) as test organisms ∝-casein was compared with 2% yeast suspension and reconstituted skimmed milk (2, 4 and 6%). Taking bacterial survivors as the index of disinfectant activity, it was found that 2% ∝-casein gave more consistent results than when 2% yeast was died. This latter material showed considerable variation due to the age of suspension, older suspension caused less reduction in germicidal efficiency. Using milk as the soiling agent it was found that 6% milk corresponded approximately with the effect produced by 0.5% ∝-casein, Experimental determination of protein in these products has been used as a basis for the possible explanation of these similarities. The Kelsey-Sykes capacity test was used to compare ∝-casein with yeast as the organic soil and it was shown that 2% yeast was equivalent to 0.5% -casein in the effect on disinfectant efficiency. Attempts to determine the amount of disinfectant 'bound' to the organic material were carried out by an agar-diffusion technique. The results obtained are discussed in relation to the sensitivities and resistances of various test organisms. The nature of the disinfectant binding is discussed in relation to the types of soiling agents used in the investigation and suggestions are made concerning the future use of ∝-casein as a test soil material.

description: The everyday objects that we surround ourselves with are deeply connected to our understanding of the world. These objects have the power to manifest and propagate particular world-views. This makes it particularly important for designers to study artefacts and the engagement we have with them. The meaning we (as introspective and social beings) draw from or affix to our objects is rooted in the socio-cultural perspectives of the world, an understanding that is largely created through actions of storytelling. This thesis explores the act of narrative-building through the process of making. It considers the significance of this in relation to understanding and expressing personal identity through objects. It seeks out ways a designer might use narratives as a means to: understand and make sense of personal experiences; situate oneself in relation in the act of making itself; create new forms and; engage with people around oneself. The research employs a reflective material practice made up of design methods such as research through design, heuristic inquiry, narrative inquiry and participatory workshops with peers in the studio. These were used as ways to actively respond to theories connected to emotional design, product longevity and shared practices of making. Through the act of making, the research explores unfamiliar ways of engaging with objects as a way to consider the multi-faceted relationships that can be found - between groups of people, between people and their everyday objects, people and their construction of identity in relation to their socio-cultural backgrounds. Through sharing the empirical learnings and insightful outcomes of these acts of building narrative and generative making with others, the research proposes a methodological framework that situates the designer within a collaborative-creative practice, driven by a heuristic inquiry.
Wild Goose Tracks in the Snow: An Illustrated Record of my Preordained Life by Wanyan Linqing (1791-1846): a nineteenth-century memoir
Creators: name: Sanderson, Christina
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2024

description: Wanyan Linqing (1791-1846) was a Manchu Bannerman who travelled throughout China as an official in service of the Qing Court. In his later years he acquired and moved into a renowned garden-mansion in Peking, where he composed an autobiographical memoir in classical Chinese, Hongxue yinyuan tuji (Wild Goose Tracks in the Snow: An Illustrated Record of my Preordained Life), recording, in two hundred and forty chapters each accompanied by a woodblock illustration, as many moments of his life deemed to have been the most memorable. During the 1980s, the first one hundred and seventy chapters of this memoir were translated and annotated in Hong Kong by Mongol Bannerman Professor Yang Tsung-han (1901-1992). Under the guidance of Professor John Minford, Christina Sanderson has recently compiled the first complete translation and annotation of this work, by editing Yang's existing translation and commentary and translating and annotating the final seventy chapters. This thesis is a reflection on that memoir, and on the process of its translation. It argues that Tracks in the Snow is a remarkable window into the world of traditional China. To prove this, it presents several different ways of reading the memoir, including from a biographical and historical perspective, and in the context of literature.

description: We have carried out dc magnetization (M), heat-capacity (C) and dielectric studies down to 2K for the compound GdCrTiO5, crystallizing in orthorhombic Pbam structure, in which well-known multiferroics RMn2O5 (R= Rare-earths) form. The points of emphasis are: (i) The magnetic ordering temperature of Cr appears to be suppressed compared to that in isostructural Nd counterpart, NdCrTiO5, for which the Neel temperature is about 21 K. This finding on the Gd compound suggests that Nd 4f orbital plays a role on the magnetism of Cr in contrast to a proposal long ago. (ii) Dielectric constant does not exhibit any notable feature below about 30 K in the absence of external magnetic field, but a peak appears and gets stronger with the application of external magnetic fields, supporting the existence of magnetodielectric coupling. (iii) The dielectric anomalies appear even near 100 K, which can be attributed to short-range magnetic-order. We also observe a gain in spectral weight below about 150 K in Raman spectra in the frequency range 150 to 400 cm-1, which could be magnetic in origin supporting short-range magnetic order. It is of interest to explore whether geometrically frustration plays any role on the dielectric properties of this family, as in the case of RMn2O5.

Exploring Genetic and Environmental Drivers of Variation in Wheat Growth and Carbon Metabolism
Creators: name: Garcia, Andres
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2024

description: Business-as-usual agricultural performance is failing to keep up with the demand for crops in a growing global population. At the same time, climate change is increasing the frequency and severity of extreme weather events that disrupt agriculture. In Chapter 1, we underscore the importance of plant physiology in enhancing crop performance, particularly focusing on carbon assimilation and the efficiency with which that carbon is converted to biomass. There is untapped potential to enhance crop yields through improvements this efficiency closer to its theoretical maximum. Because much less is known about respiration than photosynthesis with regards to the mechanisms controlling rates, this thesis focuses on respiration as a trait of interest that could boost yield potential. However, measuring respiration was traditionally slow - yet, using high-throughput measurement techniques, it becomes more viable to explore the relationship between respiration and other growth traits on the larger scale necessary. This thesis therefore explores respiration across various plant tissue types and aims to relate Rdark with carbohydrate status of leaves and associated transport costs; biomass allocation and the contributions of shoot- and root-respiration to whole-plant properties; and relative growth rates across a range of environmental conditions across 8 wheat genotypes. Chapter 2 explores the influence of different light environments and growth temperatures on respiration and starch levels in wheat flag leaves. We found that starch levels are significantly affected by the two environmental variables we manipulated, with reduced-irradiance treatments showing lower starch accumulation and degradation rates. However, respiration rates showed little thermal acclimation. Importantly, the export costs in a mature flag leaf were non-linear and point to substrate-dependent rates of export in wheat leaves. Chapter 3 extends the analysis to the whole shoot and root systems to correlate growth and respiration at the whole-plant level. Heat treatments generally negatively impact growth rate in DNA #1704, a heat-intolerant genotype, but commercially high-performing genotypes show more resilience. Contrary to prior findings, warmer days had some limited exidence of exhibiting greater acclimation than warmer nights. In Chapter 4, eight wheat genotypes are assessed in field settings, revealing variation in leaf respiration and aboveground relative growth rate across environments and developmental stages. Importantly, the ranking of Rdark showed some consistency across sites. Lastly, Chapter 5 discusses the implications of these findings for improving crop yield, emphasizing the need for high-throughput physiological measurements and advanced digital phenotyping in the field. Overall, understanding respiration and its response to changing climates is essential for enhancing crop productivity.

description: We consider random bipartite quantum states obtained by tracing out one subsystem from a random, uniformly distributed, tripartite pure quantum state. We compute thresholds for the dimension of the system being traced out, so that the resulting bipartite quantum state satisfies the reduction criterion in different asymptotic regimes. We consider as well the basis-independent version of the reduction criterion (the absolute reduction criterion), computing thresholds for the corresponding eigenvalue sets. We do the same for other sets relevant in the study of absolute separability, using techniques from random matrix theory. Finally, we gather and compare the known values for the thresholds corresponding to different entanglement criteria, and conclude with a list of open questions.

Cela crée cependant de nouveaux espaces de dialogue, d'échange d'informations, de connaissances, qui peuvent être transformés en capacités de lobbying auprès des autorités de régulation de la navigation. Le processus défini entre le Port autonome de Strasbourg et les chercheurs peut être analysé comme une étape de structuration d'une communauté d'acteurs partageant les mêmes problèmes et objectifs : intégrer le changement climatique comme un enjeu collectif qui peut être abordé à différents niveaux. Certaines solutions sont faciles à mettre en œuvre (innovation pour améliorer les bateaux) ; d'autres nécessitent d'organiser de nouveaux cycles de négociation, d'impliquer les autorités nationales et internationales, de crédibiliser le récit infrastructurel dominant par le biais de nouvelles connaissances, en solidifiant une coalition de ports rhénans.

description: The calendar year 2011 was an extraordinary year for tornadoes across the United States, as it marked the second highest annual number of tornadoes since 1950 and was the deadliest tornado year since 1936. Most of the fatalities in 2011 occurred in a series of outbreaks, highlighted by a particularly strong outbreak across the southeastern United States in late April and a series of outbreaks over the Great Plains and Midwest regions in late May, which included a tornado rated as a category 5 event on the enhanced Fujita scale (EF5) that devastated the town of Joplin, Missouri. While most tornado-related fatalities often occur in outbreaks, very few studies have examined the climatological characteristics of outbreaks, particularly those of varying strength. In this study a straightforward metric to assess the strength, or physical magnitude, of tornado outbreaks east of the Rocky Mountains from 1973 to 2010 is developed. This measure of outbreak strength, which integrates the intensity of tornadoes [Fujita (F)/EF-scale rating] over their distance traveled (pathlength), is more highly correlated with injuries and fatalities than other commonly used variables, such as the number of significant tornadoes, and is therefore more reflective of the potential threat of outbreaks to human life. All outbreaks are then ranked according to this metric and their climatological characteristics are examined, with comparisons made to all other tornadoes not associated with outbreaks. The results of the ranking scheme are also compared to those of previous studies, while the strongest outbreaks from 2011 are ranked among other outbreaks in the modern record, including the April 1974 Super Outbreak.

O artigo foi dividido em duas seções; a primeira apresenta uma breve história da edificação da escola e da operacionalização conceitual do Social Desenvolvimentismo; a segunda seção concentra-se em elucidar a macroeconomia do Social Desenvolvimento. Os resultados da pesquisa são que o Social Desenvolvimentismo resgata o caráter político na macroeconomia ao defender um modelo de política e de regime macroeconômico mais adaptável e menos engessado, no entanto sem enveredar para “aventuras” ou “populismos”. O modelo, assim, contribui para o amadurecimento do debate desenvolvimentista no Brasil atualmente.

description: BACKGROUND: 5- Aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) is metabolised in colonic mucosa by N-acetyltransferase 1 (NAT1). Common genetic polymorphisms in this enzyme result in rapid or slow acetylation. 5-ASA treatment causes side effects in up to 10 % of patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). We therefore determined genetic variations of NAT1 in patients with UC and looked for a possible association with the clinical response to 5-ASA. METHODS: DNA was obtained from 78 patients with UC. 77 % of the patients were in remission during 5-ASA treatment, whereas 23 % suffered from active disease. NAT1 genotyping was performed for 23 known alleles using RFLP and sequence analysis. Clinical response to 5-ASA was determined by medical record review and associated with NAT1 genotypes. RESULTS: Utilising PCR we amplified a 570-bp coding region of the human NAT1 gene in addition to 240 bp in the 3'-untranslated region (UTR). 4 NAT1 alleles previously known as NAT1*3, *4, *10 and *11 were recovered. 31 % of the patients were heterozygous and 4 % homozygous for the NAT1*10 allele. 6 % were heterozygous for the NAT1*3 allele. 6 % were heterozygous for the NAT1*11 allele. No association was found between NAT1 genotype and clinical response as well as side effects to 5-ASA in patients with UC. CONCLUSIONS: NAT1 genotypes do not predict response or side effects to mesalamine in patients with UC. Variations caused by non-genomic effects may be associated with the clinical response to 5-ASA.

description: Patients with inflammatory bowel diseases [IBD] are frequently treated with immunosuppressant medications. During the coronavirus disease 2019 [COVID-19] pandemic, recommendations for IBD management have included that patients should stay on their immunosuppressant medications if they are not infected with the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 [SARS-CoV-2], but to temporarily hold these medications if symptomatic with COVID-19 or asymptomatic but have tested positive for SARS-CoV-2. As more IBD patients are infected globally, it is important to also understand how to manage IBD medications during convalescence while an individual with IBD is recovering from COVID-19. In this review, we address the differences between a test-based versus a symptoms-based strategy as related to COVID-19, and offer recommendations on when it is appropriate to consider restarting IBD therapy in patients testing positive for SARS-CoV-2 or with clinical symptoms consistent with COVID-19. In general, we recommend a symptoms-based approach, due to the current lack of confidence in the accuracy of available testing and the clinical significance of prolonged detection of virus via molecular testing.

The mAkErverse is a framing that sets the tone and builds a multilevel model strategy for community activation and engagement. The context draws on the autonomy of already existing communities and networks of makers, innovators, hubs, and spaces within their own systematic cyclic orbits providing an opportunity to add value to and nurture them both on the individual and community level through the mAkE project. Autonomy is identified as a pivotal part to the whole strategy because the project does not exist without the makers and does not control the makers ecosystems but rather approaches the communities in the ecosystem from the bottom-up providing valuable useable assets and from the top-down supporting advocacy and championing the benefits the communities bring to the world. Broadening the dimensions of visibility, understanding of and knowledge about makers and moving beyond linear engagement to a more cyclic perspective underpins the strategy. The term mAkErverse is an umbrella term uniting different maker ecosystems in Africa, Europe and beyond. We identify and engage with communities from the individual level through to city, country, region, continental and global level in order to amplify the value and impact of makerspaces and makers utilising an amplifying approach. The role of an ‘amplifier’ and its description is an electronic device that increases the voltage, current, or power of a signal. mAkE aims to encompass the role of the ‘amplifier’ for the communities it represents thereby supporting all active participants within the hardware innovation space to achieve more and drive exponential impact and sustainable growth. Engagement refers to a “connection, interaction, participation, and involvement, designed to achieve or elicit an outcome at individual, organisation, or social levels”. Supporting ‘amplifiers’ as networks of networks that therefore enable their communities provide an opportunity to create a multiplier effect, taking a project like mAkE to a new level of impact. mAkE not only aims to raise the quality of the maker community but to actively contribute resources, knowhow and provide support for its ongoing development through access to open source resources, visibility and exchange. mAkE will create and influence an Amplifier Approach (AA) through identifying and promoting diverse activities of and for its members, partners and stakeholders. The consortium aims for mAkE to build rich engagement through the AA of its activities and sharing best practices that showcase the diversity and success of the community network of networks working in various local settings and contexts.

description: This paper has been published in Bulletin of the Chemical Society of Japan, which can be viewed at the following URL: http://doi.org/10.1246/bcsj.20150110 Cs2SnI6, a variant of perovskite CsSnI3, is expected for a photovoltaic material. Based on a simple ionic model, it is expected that Cs2SnI6 is composed of Cs+, I-, and Sn4+ ions and that the band gap is primarily made of occupied I- 5p6 valence band maximum (VBM) and unoccupied Sn4+ 5s conduction band minimum (CBM) similar to SnO2. In this work, we performed density functional theory (DFT) calculations and revealed that the real oxidation state of the Sn ion in Cs2SnI6 is +2 similar to CsSnI3. The +2 oxidation state of Sn originates from 2 ligand holes in the [SnI6]2- octahedron unit, where the ligand [I6] cluster has the apparent [I66-L+2]4- oxidation state, because the band gap is formed mainly by occupied I 5p VBM and unoccupied I 5p CBM. The +2 oxidation state of Sn and the band gap are originated from the intracluster hybridization and stabilized by the strong covalent interaction between Sn and I.
Several roads lead to international norms, but few via international socialization: A case study of the European Commission

description: Can an international organization socialize those who work within it? The European Commission of the European Union is a crucial case because it is an autonomous international organization with a vocation to defend supranational norms. If this body cannot socialize its members, which international organization can? I develop theoretical expectations about how time, organizational structure, alternative processes of preference formation, and national socialization affect international socialization. To test these expectations for the European Commission, I use two surveys of top permanent Commission officials, conducted in 1996 and 2002. The analysis shows that support for supranational norms is relatively high, but that this is more because of national socialization than socialization in the Commission. National norms, originating in prior experiences in national ministries, loyalty to national political parties, or experience with one's country's organization of authority, decisively shape top officials' views on supranational norms. There are, then, several roads to international norms.

description: We investigate the effect of preferentially connecting oscillators with similar frequency to each other in networks of coupled phase oscillators (i.e., frequency assortativity). Using the network Kuramoto model as an example, we find that frequency assortativity can induce chaos in the macroscopic dynamics. By applying a mean-field approximation in combination with the dimension reduction method of Ott and Antonsen, we show that the dynamics can be described by a low dimensional system of equations. We use the reduced system to characterize the macroscopic chaos using Lyapunov exponents, bifurcation diagrams, and time-delay embeddings. Finally, we show that the emergence of chaos stems from the formation of multiple groups of synchronized oscillators, i.e., meta-oscillators.
The RAI travels to Latin America: Measuring regional authority under regime change

description: This paper presents a new dataset on regional authority in 27 Latin American and Caribbean countries for 1950–2010 based on the Regional Authority Index (RAI), which makes it possible to compare regional authority over time and across regions. We explain conceptualization, operationalization, and coding decisions with the aim of making judgments explicit, and therefore open to amendment or refutation. We present substantive observations about the variation across countries and over time and discuss the implications and challenges of expanding the RAI to contexts in which democracy and authoritarianism alternate.

description: The world is witnessing an increasing incidence of chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs), such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), a group of complex gastrointestinal disorders characterised by inflammation. It is believed that environmental factors, such as exposure to pollutants and endocrine-disrupting chemicals (i.e. bisphenol A [BPA]), are playing a role in IBD pathophysiology. New research suggests a potential treatment solution: next-generation probiotic (NGP) strains isolated from human gut microbiota that can biodegrade xenobiotics and thus possibly modulate IBD triggered by these xenobiotics. In this study, we hypothesised that specific BPA-tolerant bacteria would exhibit beneficial, anti-inflammatory properties that could counter the effects of BPA exposure and concomitantly reduce colitis severity. We observed that two such strains, Bacillus sp. AM1 and Paeniclostridium sp., exhibited potential anti-inflammatory properties in vitro and in vivo. First, these bacteria were able to decrease the secretion of interleukin (IL)-8 cytokines by HT-29 cells that had been exposed to the proinflammatory cytokine tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α. Second, when treated with Bacillus sp. AM1 and Paeniclostridium sp. (this latter had a stronger reducing effect on inflammatory markers), mice with chemically induced colitis displayed lower levels of colon damage, monocyte chemotactic protein 1 (MCP-1), lipocalin-2 (LCN-2), and proinflammatory cytokines (IL-1β and IL-6). Future research should clarify the underlying mechanisms at play and identify potential strategies for counteracting the systemic effects of IBD, including those exacerbated by BPA exposure. Our results suggest that one such strategy could be treatment with BPA-tolerant bacteria that possess anti-inflammatory properties.

description: This article addresses the variation of anti-corruption and anti-elite salience in party positioning across Europe. It demonstrates that while anti-corruption salience is primarily related to the (regional) context in which a party operates, anti-elite salience is primarily a function of party ideology. Extreme left and extreme conservative (TAN) parties are significantly more likely to emphasize anti-elite views. Through its use of the new 2014 Chapel Hill Expert Survey wave, this article also introduces the dataset. © The Author(s) 2017.
