description: Additional file 2. Precision tests using three CRP levels in our ELISA. Repeatability studies (intra- and inter-assay variations) using diluted serum samples with three CRP levels in BSA/PBS were performed in triplicate in each assay and on three different occasions. The spike tests were performed using three diluted serum samples spiked with known amounts of purified CRP. The results are expressed as the average recovery rates determined by dividing the observed CRP levels by the expected CRP levels.

description: Background—People who inject drugs (PWID) experience markedly elevated rates of physical and sexual violence, as well as housing instability. While previous studies have demonstrated an association between homelessness and increased exposure to violence among PWID, the relationship between residential eviction and violence is unknown. We therefore sought to examine the association between residential eviction and experiencing violence among PWID in Vancouver, Canada. Methods—Data were derived from two open prospective cohort studies of PWID: the Vancouver Injection Drug Users Study (VIDUS) and the AIDS Care Cohort to evaluate Exposure to Survival Services (ACCESS). We used generalized estimating equations (GEE) to estimate the relationship between residential eviction and experiencing violence among male and female PWID, respectively. Results—Between June 2007 and May 2014, 1689 participants were eligible for the analysis, contributing a median of 5.5 years of follow-up. Of these, 567 (33.6%) were female. In total, 259 (45.7%) of females and 566 (50.4%) of males experienced at least one incident of violence over the study period. In multivariable GEE models, residential eviction was independently associated with greater odds of experiencing violence among both females (Adjusted Odds Ratio [AOR] =2.09; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.39–3.13) and males (AOR = 1.95; 95% CI = 1.49–2.55), after adjustment for potential confounders. Conclusion—Residential eviction was independently associated with an increased likelihood of experiencing violence among both male and female PWID. These findings point to the need for evidence-based social-structural interventions to mitigate housing instability and violence among PWID in this setting.

BioExcel Webinar #37 - More bang for your buck: Improved use of GPU Nodes for GROMACS 2018
Creators: name: Kutzner, Carsten

description: We identify hardware that is optimal to produce molecular dynamics trajectories on Linux compute clusters with the GROMACS 2018 simulation package. Therefore, we benchmark the GROMACS performance on a diverse set of compute nodes and relate it to the costs of the nodes, which may include their lifetime costs for energy and cooling. In agreement with our earlier investigation using GROMACS 4.6 on hardware of 2014, the performance to price ratio of consumer GPU nodes is considerably higher than that of CPU nodes. However, with GROMACS 2018, the optimal CPU to GPU processing power balance has shifted even more towards the GPU. Hence, nodes optimized for GROMACS 2018 and later versions enable a significantly higher performance to price ratio than nodes optimized for older GROMACS versions. Moreover, the shift towards GPU processing allows to cheaply upgrade old nodes with recent GPUs, yielding essentially the same performance as comparable brand-new hardware.

Lawful interception of the Internet
Creators: name: Branch, Philip
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This paper describes the state of Lawful Interception of the Internet and compares it with Lawful Interception of access networks. Lawful Interception is the process of secretly intercepting communications between parties of interest to Law Enforcement agencies. Internet interception is both more difficult and much more immature than access network interception. Refusal by the main standards body of the Internet (the IETF) to be involved in Lawful Interception has left a vacuum in the area which has been filled by complex hardware solutions with potential security and privacy risks. Interception of the Internet is likely to become more common in future than it is now. Without engagement of network researchers and Internet standards setting bodies, Lawful Interception will either be a potential threat to the security and privacy of Internet users, or governments may insist on draconian controls that will significantly affect the development of new Internet based services.

description: In the Kitaev magnet $α$-RuCl$_3$, the existence of a magnetic-field-induced quantum spin liquid phase and of anyonic excitations are discussed controversially. We address this elusive, exotic phase via helicity-dependent Raman scattering and analyze the Raman optical activity of excitations as a function of magnetic field and temperature. The hotly debated field regime between 7.5 T and 10.5 T is characterized by clear spectroscopic signatures such as a plateau of the Raman optical activity of the dominant, chiral spin-flip excitation. This provides direct evidence for the existence of a distinct intermediate field regime compatible with a quantum spin liquid phase.

description: Droplet impacts are common in many applications such as coating, spraying, or printing; understanding how droplets spread after impact is thus of utmost importance. Such impacts may occur with different velocities on a variety of substrates. The fluids may also be non-Newtonian and thus possess different rheological properties. How the different properties such as surface roughness and wettability, droplet viscosity and rheology as well as interfacial properties affect the spreading dynamics of the droplets and the eventual drop size after impact are unresolved questions. Most recent work focuses on the maximum spreading diameter after impact and uses scaling laws to predict this. In this paper we show that a proper rescaling of the spreading dynamics with the maximum radius attained by the drop, and the impact velocity leads to a unique single and thus universal curve for the variation of diameter versus time. The validity of this universal functional shape is validated for different liquids with different rheological properties as well as substrates with different wettabilities. This universal function agrees with a recent model that proposes a closed set of differential equations for the spreading dynamics of droplets.

description: Training deep models with limited annotations poses a significant challenge when applied to diverse practical domains. Employing semi-supervised learning alongside the self-supervised model offers the potential to enhance label efficiency. However, this approach faces a bottleneck in reducing the need for labels. We observed that the semi-supervised model disrupts valuable information from self-supervised learning when only limited labels are available. To address this issue, this paper proposes a simple yet effective framework, active self-semi-supervised learning (AS3L). AS3L bootstraps semi-supervised models with prior pseudo-labels (PPL). These PPLs are obtained by label propagation over self-supervised features. Based on the observations the accuracy of PPL is not only affected by the quality of features but also by the selection of the labeled samples. We develop active learning and label propagation strategies to obtain accurate PPL. Consequently, our framework can significantly improve the performance of models in the case of limited annotations while demonstrating fast convergence. On the image classification tasks across four datasets, our method outperforms the baseline by an average of 5.4\%. Additionally, it achieves the same accuracy as the baseline method in about 1/3 of the training time.

description: Individuals living with metabolic syndrome (MetS) such as diabetes and obesity are at high risk for developing chronic kidney disease (CKD). This study investigated the beneficial effect of whole grape powder (WGP) diet on MetS-associated CKD. Obese diabetic ZSF1 rats, a kidney disease model with MetS, were fed WGP (5%, w/w) diet for six months. Kidney disease was determined using blood and urine chemical analyses, and histology. When compared to Vehicle controls, WGP intake did not change the rat bodyweight, but lowered their kidney, liver and spleen weight, which were in parallel with the lower serum glucose and the higher albumin or albumin/globin ratio. More importantly, WGP intake improved the renal function as urination and proteinuria decreased, or it prevented kidney tissue damage in these diabetic rats. The renal protection of WGP diet was associated with up-regulation of antioxidants (Dhcr24, Gstk1, Prdx2, Sod2, Gpx1 and Gpx4) and downregulation of Txnip (for ROS production) in the kidneys. Furthermore, addition of grape extract reduced H₂O₂-induced cell death of cultured podocytes. In conclusion, daily intake of WGP reduces the progression of kidney disease in obese diabetic rats, suggesting a protective function of antioxidant-rich grape diet against CKD in the setting of MetS.

Implementing different concepts of lean production: workers' experience of lean production in North American transplants

description: Is there a 'logic' to industrial capitalism and the market forces of an increasingly global economy which encourages work practices and employee management strategies of individual organisations and across national borders to become more similar? This article responds to this question by considering the experience of workers in Japanese-Canadian and Japanese-American joint ventures and Japanese transplants in the North American automobile industry. The dissimilarities of the parent Japanese companies' lean production systems are highlighted before consideration is given the factors which initially encourage adoption by North American subsidiaries of Japanese automobile companies of Japanese employee management techniques and the experiences of workers in these transplants which result in North American workers seeking reassert more pluralist concepts and approaches to the employee-management relationship. By placing the development and implementation of the various Japanese versions of lean production into their cultural, technological, geographic, historical, and organisational contexts, this article suggests the variety which flourishes even when conformity is seemingly evident. Consideration of Japanese efforts to import their management techniques into North America suggests both the contexts in which organisations, workforces, labor markets, and political structures are receptive to new management techniques and the strength of cultural, political, and labour relations institutions and practices to modify and recreate. The convergence-divergence debate, as with most dichotomies, demands one winner; reality is, however, more complex and forces not one choice, but rather fosters the creation of more options.

description: Relaxometry schemes employing nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamonds are essential in biology and physics to detect a reduction of the color centers' characteristic spin relaxation ($T_1$) time caused by, e.g., paramagnetic molecules in proximity. However, while only the negatively-charged NV center is to be probed in these pulsed-laser measurements, an inevitable consequence of the laser excitation is the conversion to the neutrally-charged NV state, interfering with the result for the negatively-charged NV centers' $T_1$ time or even dominating the response signal. In this work, we perform relaxometry measurements on an NV ensemble in nanodiamond combining a $520\,$nm excitation laser and microwave excitation while simultaneously recording the fluorescence signals of both charge states via independent beam paths. Correlating the fluorescence intensity ratios to the fluorescence spectra at each laser power, we monitor the ratios of both charge states during the $T_1$-time measurement and systematically disclose the excitation-power-dependent charge conversion. Even at laser intensities below saturation, we observe charge conversion, while at higher intensities, charge conversion outweighs spin relaxation. These results underline the necessity of low excitation power and fluorescence normalization before the relaxation time to accurately determine the $T_1$ time and characterize paramagnetic species close to the sensing diamond.

description: Causal inference and decision-making in complex evolving systems can pose significant challenges, particularly when the analysis involves working with irregular data---the type of data containing varying intervals, scales, non-equidistant data points, fidelities, geographic or heterogeneous data comprising a mix of count, continuous, binary or categorical data. This research aims to develop techniques for understanding causal relationships and providing decision-making support while handling the complexities of irregular data. It also aims to understand the possible trade-off between model performance and interpretability for decision-making in the context of a fast-evolving system.

To achieve the research aims, a framework based on an additive structure to the heterogeneous multi-output Gaussian process model is proposed. The proposed approach enhances model interpretability by modelling the high-dimensional latent functions that influence the observed heterogeneous responses as a sum of more interpretable single-dimensional latent functions. This provides further insights into the complex non-linear causal relationships that may have otherwise been undiscoverable.

The research demonstrates the proposed framework's effectiveness in explaining causality and providing decision-making support in an experimental study using air combat simulations containing multiple heterogeneous responses. While it achieves comparable performances to the more flexible but less interpretable frameworks in various air combat scenarios, the proposed model considerably enhances the interpretation of the model outputs.

The contributions in this research are diverse, covering topics surrounding causal inference and decision analysis and improving its capabilities for handling irregular data and multiple heterogeneous response variables---including responses with heteroskedasticity. It highlights the importance of jointly modelling multiple heterogeneous responses with possible associations as it improves model performance and incorporates shared information from the other response variables. The work presents techniques for identifying an overfit model involving heteroskedastic responses, which would have easily gone unnoticed using other techniques. It proposes a simplified alternative to the model's structure through horseshoe priors, reducing its dependence on the number of latent functions required. This research contributes to understanding model performance versus model interpretability trade-offs and assesses the impact on performance when measured using different model evaluation methods. Finally, the research may be beneficial when it comes to analysing irregular data in several applications and domains, including complex and fast-evolving systems, where decision-makers require interpretable and reliable insights.

description: Intimacy is a crucial element of domestic life that has received insufficient attention from Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) researchers despite their rapidly growing interest in the design of interactive technologies for domestic use. Intimate acts differ from other activities, and there are unexplored opportunities to develop interactive technologies to support these acts. This paper presents the first phase of a two-part study exploring the potential of interactive technologies to support intimate relationships. We contribute to this uncharted domain of HCI research a literature review of concepts useful in understanding intimacy and methods for its investigation. We conclude with preliminary results and suggestive design ideas for interactive technologies intended to support intimacy.
Exploring Sustainable Housing Policy in Australia and Other Leading Jurisdictions

description: Since the 1980s, global climate change has been the most significant environmental issue worldwide. Buildings account for up to 40% of total greenhouse gas emissions, while residential construction is the largest segment for the greenhouse gas emissions of the building industry. Therefore, researchers and policymakers worldwide have proposed sustainable housing to minimize greenhouse gas emissions from the residential sector. Leading jurisdictions like the European Union and California in the United States of America have developed regulations supporting sustainable housing, establishing international best-practice housing performance. However, by comparison, sustainable housing policy development in Australia has been limited as the current policies require more innovation, information and communication across stakeholder groups to tackle built-environment sustainability challenges. These limitations and potential barriers have decelerated Australia’s adoption of more sustainable housing deliveries. However, if the final aim of a sustainable housing transition is a housing requirement characterised by a sustainable dwelling, then establishing an appropriate policy and favourable regulatory environment is a critical step. Although some previous studies on Australia’s transition to low-carbon or low-energy housing exist, sustainable housing regulations have been updated over time. Therefore, a comparison review of the current ongoing policies between Australia and other leading jurisdictions is needed to fill this research gap. This thesis applies the policy comparison approach to investigate and evaluate the research gap, reviewing and comparing existing policies in Australia and leading jurisdictions to identify the key lessons to improve sustainable Australian housing policies. To explore the transition to sustainable housing requirements, selected policy documents were compared using a socio-technical transition framework. The policy comparison analysis process examined three case studies: Victoria, Australia; Copenhagen Denmark; and California, the United States. The discussion of the results considers improvements in the policymaking process and identifies key lessons for policy development in Australia. Drawing upon this international policy comparison review of the selected nations, recommendations for future research for Australian policy are then suggested.

description: Alon, Seymour and Thomas [1990] proved that every $n$-vertex graph excluding $K_t$ as a minor has treewidth less than $t^{3/2}\sqrt{n}$. Illingworth, Scott and Wood [2022] recently refined this result by showing that every such graph is a subgraph of some graph with treewidth $t-2$, where each vertex is blown up by a complete graph of order $O(\sqrt{tn})$. Solving an open problem of Illingworth, Scott and Wood [2022], we prove that the treewidth bound can be reduced to $4$ while keeping blowups of order $O_t(\sqrt{n})$. As an extension of the Lipton--Tarjan theorem, in the case of planar graphs, we show that the treewidth can be further reduced to $2$, which is best possible. We generalise this result for $K_{3,t}$-minor-free graphs, with blowups of order $O(t\sqrt{n})$. This setting includes graphs embeddable on any fixed surface.

description: Automation of berthing maneuvers in shipping is a pressing issue as the berthing maneuver is one of the most stressful tasks seafarers undertake. Berthing control problems are often tackled via tracking a predefined trajectory or path. Maintaining a tracking error of zero under an uncertain environment is impossible; the tracking controller is nonetheless required to bring vessels close to desired berths. The tracking controller must prioritize the avoidance of tracking errors that may cause collisions with obstacles. This paper proposes a training method based on reinforcement learning for a trajectory tracking controller that reduces the probability of collisions with static obstacles. Via numerical simulations, we show that the proposed method reduces the probability of collisions during berthing maneuvers. Furthermore, this paper shows the tracking performance in a model experiment.

description: Im Jahr 1928 entschied der indonesische Jugendkongreß im damaligen Niederländisch-Indien, eine Einheitssprache für ein zukünftiges unabhängiges Indonesien zu wählen. Man entschied sich für das Malaiische, das in vielen Küstenregionen des Archipels als Handelssprache und in Ostsumatra sowie auf den Riau-Inseln als Muttersprache verwendet wurde. Dies war ein wahrlich weiser Beschluß, da man mit der Wahl dieser Sprache keine größere Ethnie wie z.B. die Javaner favorisierte.

A fronte dell’inarrestabile crescita dell’offerta di connessione ovunque, si fa pressante il problema dell’assenza di leggi internazionali per regolare un settore – quello della space economy – che vede la presenza preponderante di pochissimi privati che monopolizzano lo spazio orbitale. Con il consenso dell'autrice, Patrizia Caraveo, vi riproponiamo questo commento apparso la scorsa settimana sul Sole24Ore

description: Asbestos is a human carcinogen and has been prohibited in many countries around the world. Long-term exposure to asbestos can lead to negative health outcomes including mesothelioma, asbestosis, pleural thickening, and lung cancer. The incidence of asbestos-related disease has been increasing in industrialized countries over the past decade. Exposure to asbestos and the risk for developing a serious health condition is dependent on the cumulative dose of exposure to asbestos, measured by the quantity of exposure and the length of time exposed. These diseases often do not present for 20 to 40 years after initial exposure and have poor prognoses. Asbestos poses a potential risk to the general population when it is used in buildings and infrastructure, however this risk is minimized if the dust fibres are left undisturbed. In an occupational setting, asbestos fibres have an increased risk of friability (becoming airborne), and therefore pose greater risk to workers, necessitating protective efforts. Occupational exposure to asbestos is typically classified into three risk levels - low-, moderate-, and high-risk, and in recent years, the prevalence of asbestos exposure in the workforce has shifted from the mining and manufacturing professions, to those occupations involving construction, electrical work, and automobile repairs. WorkSafeBC recognizes that any person who repairs, renovates, or demolishes older buildings is at an increased risk for inhaling asbestos fibres. This paper aims to summarize the available research related to asbestos exposure and asbestos-related disease and the estimated risk among British Columbian civic workers who are exposed to minimal doses of asbestos.

description: We compute the dimension of certain components of the family of smooth determinantal degree $d$ surfaces in $\mathbb{P}^3$, and show that each of them is the closure of a component of the Noether-Lefschetz locus $NL(d)$. Our computations exhibit that smooth determinantal surfaces in $\mathbb{P}^3$ of degree 4 form a divisor in $|\mathcal{O}_{\mathbb{P}^3}(4)|$ with 5 irreducible components. We will compute the degrees of each of these components: $320,2508,136512,38475$ and $320112$.
