Abstract

The Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) is a TeV-scale high-luminosity linear $e^+e^-$ collider under development at CERN. Following the CLIC conceptual design published in 2012, this report provides an overview of the CLIC project, its current status, and future developments. It presents the CLIC physics potential and reports on design, technology, and implementation aspects of the accelerator and the detector. CLIC is foreseen to be built and operated in stages, at centre-of-mass energies of 380 GeV, 1.5 TeV and 3 TeV, respectively. CLIC uses a two-beam acceleration scheme, in which 12 GHz accelerating structures are powered via a high-current drive beam. For the first stage, an alternative with X-band klystron powering is also considered. CLIC accelerator optimisation, technical developments and system tests have resulted in an increased energy efficiency (power around 170 MW) for the 380 GeV stage, together with a reduced cost estimate at the level of 6 billion CHF. The detector concept has been refined using improved software tools. Significant progress has been made on detector technology developments for the tracking and calorimetry systems. A wide range of CLIC physics studies has been conducted, both through full detector simulations and parametric studies, together providing a broad overview of the CLIC physics potential. Each of the three energy stages adds cornerstones of the full CLIC physics programme, such as Higgs width and couplings, top-quark properties, Higgs self-coupling, direct searches, and many precision electroweak measurements. The interpretation of the combined results gives crucial and accurate insight into new physics, largely complementary to LHC and HL-LHC. The construction of the first CLIC energy stage could start by 2026. First beams would be available by 2035, marking the beginning of a broad CLIC physics programme spanning 25-30 years., Comment: 112 pages, 59 figures; published as CERN Yellow Report Monograph Vol. 2/2018; corresponding editors: Philip N.

Abstract

We define the notion of infimum of a set of points with respect to the second order cone. This problem can be showed to be equivalent to the minimum ball containing a set of balls problem and to the maximum intersecting ball problem, as well as others. We present a dual algorithm which can be viewed as an extension of the simplex method to solve this problem.

114. The influence of V addition on the structure, mechanical properties, and oxidation behaviour of TiAlSiN coatings deposited by DC magnetron sputtering

Abstract

The influence of V content on the morphology, structure, hardness (H) and reduced Young's modulus (E), adhesion, and oxidation resistance of TiAlSiN coatings is investigated. The coatings were produced by DC reactive magnetron sputtering, with increasing V contents from 0, 4.8 and 11.0 at.%. All coatings exhibit a fcc type structure. The coating with 4.8 at.% of V shows the highest values of H and E, whereas the values are similar for the reference coating and the coating with 11.0 at.% of V. The coatings adhere well to the substrates and show a dense and compact columnar growth extending from the adhesive interlayer to the top surface of the coatings. The dynamic thermal gravimetric oxidation curves reveal that V additions decreases the onset point of oxidation significantly and degrades the oxidation resistance of the coatings. A dual oxide layer is formed on the top surface of the reference coating: an outer porous Ti–Al–O rich layer with plate-like features on the top, which classified to TiO2 (rutile and anatase) and Al2O3 phases, and an inner Ti–Si–O rich layer with Al depletion that identified as mixture of amorphous Si–O and Ti–Si–O protective oxides. The diffusion of V to the top surface governs the oxidation process of the V-containing coatings, i.e. increasing V concentration leads to disrupt the formation of the protective continuous oxide layers easily.

Abstract

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major worldwide neurological disorder with no neuroprotective treatment available. Three-dimensional (3D) in vitro models of brain contusion serving as a screening platform for drug testing are lacking. Here we developed a new in vitro model of brain contusion on organotypic cortical brain slices and tested its responsiveness to mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC) derived secretome. A focal TBI was induced on organotypic slices by an electromagnetic impactor. Compared to control condition, a temporal increase in cell death was observed after TBI by propidium iodide incorporation and lactate dehydrogenase release assays up to 48 h post-injury. TBI induced gross neuronal loss in the lesion core, with disruption of neuronal arborizations measured by microtubule-associated protein-2 (MAP-2) immunostaining and associated with MAP-2 gene down-regulation. Neuronal damage was confirmed by increased levels of neurofilament light chain (NfL), microtubule associated protein (Tau) and ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase L1 (UCH-L1) released into the culture medium 48 h after TBI. We detected glial activation with microglia cells acquiring an amoeboid shape with less ramified morphology in the contusion core. MSC-secretome treatment, delivered 1 h post-injury, reduced cell death in the contusion core, decreased NfL release in the culture media, promoted neuronal reorganization and improved microglia survival/activation. Our 3D in vitro model of brain contusion recapitulates key features of TBI pathology. We showed protective effects of MSC-secretome, suggesting the model stands as a tractable medium/high throughput, ethically viable, and pathomimetic biological asset for testing new cell-based therapies.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: to describe five children with Congenital Giant Melanocytic Nevus (NMCG) at the Dermatology Service at the State University of Pará in Belém - PA, Brazil. CASE DESCRIPTION: patients aged 1 to 11 years, four of whom were female, all of them brown, in good nutritional status, prenatal without complications, and denied consanguinity. The five cases presented lesions on the trunk, with different distribution patterns: swimming trunks (1), body (1), back (1), and bolero (2), most with more than fifty satellite lesions containing hypertrichosis and pruritus. In the histopathological analysis, all of them were compatible with a nevus, one of the cases was associated with a neurofibroma, two with neurocutaneous melanosis and one with melanoma in the brain, evolving to death. COMMENTS: Congenital Giant Melanocytic Nevus is a rare condition, defined by the presence of a melanocytic lesion, measuring at least 20 cm, present since birth. It has its clinical relevance due to the association with serious complications such as melanoma and / or neurocutaneous melanosis. The registration of this series aims to contribute to greater knowledge about the disease, which has physical, psycho-emotional, social, and risk of malignancy implications.

Abstract

O artigo objetiva investigar como a modulação regulatória em tríplice hélice pode contribuir para a formação de um ambiente jurídico-institucional colaborativo na regulação dos fundos patrimoniais. Para tanto, está dividido em três etapas. A primeira se dedica a delimitar o conceito dos fundos patrimoniais a partir do atual cenário regulatório no direito brasileiro estabelecido com a Lei nº 13.800/2019. A segunda está voltada à apresentação do modelo de regulação colaborativa e a modulação em tríplice hélice. Por fim, a terceira busca investigar como a formação de uma modulação em tríplice hélice pode ser aplicada na regulação dos fundos patrimoniais, considerando o escopo de fomento do interesse público. Utilizou-se metodologia de abordagem hipotético-dedutiva e pesquisa bibliográfica e documental. Conclui-se que a modulação regulatória em tríplice hélice, por ser pautada em consenso e no diálogo entre entes públicos e privados, demonstra-se como consonante à construção de um ambiente jurídico-institucional colaborativo propício aos fundos patrimoniais, ao permitir que os atores envolvidos discutam entraves existentes e soluções potencializadoras por meio de múltiplas formas de regulação que dependerão da matéria regulada.

Abstract

Abstract Capacitively Coupled (CCoupled) electric fields are used to stimulate cell cultures in Tissue Engineering. Knowing the electric field (E-Field) magnitude in the culture medium is fundamental to establish a relationship between stimulus strength and cellular effects. We analysed eight CCoupled studies and sought to corroborate the reported estimates of the E-Field in the culture medium. First, we reviewed the basic physics underlying CCoupled stimulation and delineated three approaches to estimate the E-field. Using these approaches, we found that the reported values were overestimated in five studies, four of which were based on incorrect assumptions. In all studies, insufficient information was provided to reproduce the setup exactly. Creating electrical models of the experimental setup should improve the accuracy of the E-field estimates and enhance reproducibility. For this purpose, we developed a free open-source tool, the E-field Calculator for CCoupled systems, which is available for download from an internet hosting platform.

133. Structural, mechanical and tribological properties of WCTiN coatings produced by HiPIMS.

Author

Abstract

Wear can be decreased by applying protective multi-element thin films on the surface of mechanical components (e.g., cutting tools and brake discs). The current study examines how substrate polarisation voltage affects the structural-mechanical relationships of WTiCN thin films made using a combination of HiPIMS and DCMS reactive sputtering. A chemical and structural study of the coatings conducted using EDS and XRD reveals the development of a composite phase structure. Additionally, the microstructure and morphology of the coating, as revealed by SEM and AFM, shows that defect-free surfaces are possible to obtain. Then, sliding (scratch and pin-on-disk) and indentation (nano-indentation) tests are used to examine the films' mechanical characteristics (hardness, adhesion, friction coefficient and wear rate). It shows that substrate polarisation voltage of −60 V must be used to generate surfaces that are resistant to wear. The reason for this is the ideal levels of tungsten concentration (19 at.%), root mean square surface roughness (4.5 nm) and hardness (29 GPa) have been reached. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

134. Comparison of mechanical and tribological properties of diamond-like carbon coatings doped with Europium and Gadolinium produced by HiPIMS.

Abstract

Hydrogen-free diamond-like carbon (DLC) thin films can be employed for numerous applications, including engine components, once they exhibit good properties for that. They have been used as coatings due to their attractive properties, including high hardness, high wear resistance, and low CoF even under high load/pressure. One of the major limitations of hard hydrogen-free ta-C coatings applications is related to the low reactivity with oil additives used nowadays. The Ionic liquids (ILs) emerged as a novel class of lubricants that can be used in future lubricated systems due to possessing unique physical properties, like high thermal stability and conductivity. To improve the lubrication performance of DLC with ILs, the films were doped with rare earth metals such as Gd and Eu. These non-carbide-forming elements can be introduced in the DLC matrix, incorporated as single atoms, and improve the surface adsorption and reactivity of phosphorus-based IL, and consequently, the lubricating properties of DLC/ILs sliding contacts. However, many demanding applications require good performance across the different regimes (from boundary to hydrodynamic regime). Across all regimes, the boundary is the most challenging, where metal-to-metal contact occurs. Therefore, it is essential to study the influence of the doping elements on the doped-DLCs performance under the boundary regime. For comparison, a pure-DLC was used. In this study, Eu and Gd-DLC tribological systems are characterized by pin-on-disk test in dry conditions and by scratch test. Also, mechanical properties are studied through nano-indentation. Results show that samples doped with a low atomic concentration of Eu or Gd (1%–3%), despite having a CoF higher than un-doped DLC films, show typical values for pure-DLC coatings, like low specific wear rate (<10−16 m3/Nm) and high hardness (23 GPa), permitting, in the future, the combination of novel nanostructured alloyed-DLCs and ILs needed to achieve the optimal lubrication performance.

Abstract

The application of geotextiles as filter materials in various systems, such as biofilters, wetlands, and wastewater treatment plants, has grown significantly in recent years. The ability of these materials to support biofilm growth makes them ideal for the removal of organic and inorganic contaminants present in wastewater. The objective of this research was to analyze clogging through variations in permeability, using column tests for 80 days with two types of nonwoven geotextiles with different grammages (GT120 and GT300), as well as to study the efficiency in the removal of organic matter. A synthetic wastewater was used, allowing the specific observation of biological clogging and the treatment carried out exclusively by microorganisms. The results indicated that bioclogging was not a significant factor within the experimental period. Through the mass test, a continuous increase in biofilm growth over time was observed for both geotextiles. For scanning electron microscopic (SEM) images, GT300 presented a larger biofilm area. A higher removal of COD (80%), N (52%), and P (36%) by microorganisms present in GT300 was found, which appears to be associated with its greater thickness and weight. The higher mesh density provides a larger area for the growth of microorganisms, allowing a greater amount of biomass to establish itself and contributing to the efficient removal of pollutants. These findings highlight the potential of using geotextile filters in wastewater treatment applications, where biofilm growth can positively contribute to contaminant removal without immediately compromising permeability.

Abstract

The minimum $k$-enclosing ball problem seeks the ball with smallest radius that contains at least~$k$ of~$m$ given points in a general $n$-dimensional Euclidean space. This problem is NP-hard. We present a branch-and-bound algorithm on the tree of the subsets of~$k$ points to solve this problem. The nodes on the tree are ordered in a suitable way, which, complemented with a last-in-first-out search strategy, allows for only a small fraction of nodes to be explored. Additionally, an efficient dual algorithm to solve the subproblems at each node is employed., Comment: 20 pages, 9 figures

Abstract

Dearing and Zeck presented a dual algorithm for the problem of the minimum covering ball in $\mathbb{R}^n$. Each iteration of their algorithm has a computational complexity of at least $\mathcal O(n^3)$. In this paper we propose a modification to their algorithm that, together with an implementation that uses updates to the QR factorization of a suitable matrix, achieves a $\mathcal O(n^2)$ iteration., Comment: Latex; 12 pages; typo corrected

Abstract

A series of TiZrNb(V) high entropy alloy-based metallic coatings have been deposited using high-power impulse magnetron sputtering (HiPIMS), with variable V concentrations and constant ratios among the other metals. The coatings were analyzed regarding their composition, surface and cross-sectional morphologies, microstructure, roughness, mechanical properties, oxidation resistance, and thermal stability. The structure of the deposited coatings reveals a transition from the bcc crystal structure to an amorphous phase as the V concentration increases. The addition of V also led to a decrease in roughness Ra and an improvement in adhesion, while it did not affect hardness, which remained at ∼10–11 GPa for all samples. Annealing under a protective atmosphere at 400 °C caused structural ordering, which was followed by an increase in mechanical properties. The purpose of the present paper is, therefore, to present a study on the deposition of TiZrNb coatings with increasing V concentration prepared by HiPIMS and to understand the role of V concentration on their structure, chemical composition, mechanical properties, and oxidation resistance. Comparison of the results with those achieved for a reference TiZrNb coating is presented too. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

This research highlights the incorporation of 3D printing and blockchain technology into aeronautical manufacturing and certification procedures with an aim to increase operational efficiency. The integration of 3D printing allows for streamlined production, while the immutable features of blockchain provide traceability and certification advantages, thus offering the potential for transformative impacts within the aviation supply chain. This study primarily focuses on investigating the implications and multiple benefits of this integration into the aviation industry. Furthermore, given the absence of economic assessments priorly conducted on this integration, the study also includes a mathematical formulation that provides a quantifiable measure of the achievable return on investment. Two distinct case studies provide real data as evidence supporting the efficacy of this proposed integrated model. The outcome suggests a new paradigm for the supply chain ecosystem, leading to operational improvements and economic benefits. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Consumers are increasingly seeking natural alternatives to chemical compounds, including the use of dried aromatic plants as seasonings instead of salt. However, the presence of pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) in food supplements and dried plants has become a concern because of their link to liver diseases and their classification as carcinogenic by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). Despite European Union (EU) Regulation (EU) 2023/915, non-compliance issues persist, as indicated by alerts on the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed (RASFF) portal. Analyzing PAs poses a challenge because of their diverse chemical structures and low concentrations in these products, necessitating highly sensitive analytical methods. Despite these challenges, ongoing advancements in analytical techniques coupled with effective sampling and extraction strategies offer the potential to enhance safety measures. These developments aim to minimize consumer exposure to PAs and safeguard their health while addressing the growing demand for natural alternatives in the marketplace.

Abstract

The perception and explanation of changes in the mechanical behaviour of contaminated soils are associated with physical classification and chemical composition. Elements are evolutionary in this type of soil and in the context of a contaminated environment. Let’s start by evaluating a group of artificial soils. The matrix is a granitic residual soil with a mixture (M) of hydraulic lime with used lubricating oil. The samples used have proportions of 5, 10, 15 and 20% of M in the residual granitic soil. A soil sample with 5% oil (OS5) was also made, which constitutes the optimal oil content in the soil. Afterwards, the alteration of the physical-chemical identification and the evolutionary classifications of these artificial soils were studied. The structure of the soil is altered, and this is associated with the flocculation of fine particles by the effect of lime and oil and will probably influence the mechanical behaviour of the soils. In chemical terms, it is assumed an increase in the leaching index, a decrease in the chemical mobility index and an increase in losses when it comes to artificial samples. These indices show some potential in the assessment of pollution, but eventually need adjustments, mainly in the scales.

Abstract

Geoenvironmental engineering involves defining solutions for complex problems, such as containment systems management, contaminant transport control, wastewater management, remediation of contaminated sites and valorization of geomaterials and wastes. In the last years, energy harvesting (EH)—or energy scavenging—methods and technologies have been developed to reduce the dependence on traditional energy sources, namely fossil fuels, and nuclear power, also responding to the increase in energy demands for human activities and to fulfill sustainable development goals. EH in geoenvironmental works and the surrounding soil and water environment includes a set of processes for capturing and accumulating energy from several sources considered wasted or unusable associated with soil dynamics; the stress and strain of geomaterials, hydraulic, vibrations, biochemical, light, heating and wind sources can be potential EH systems. Therefore, this work presents a review of the literature and critical analysis on the main opportunities for EH capturing, accumulating and use in geoenvironmental works, among basic electric concepts and mechanisms, analyzing these works in complex conditions involving biological-, chemical-, mechanical-, hydraulic- and thermal-coupled actions, concluding with the main investigation and challenges within geoenvironmental aspects for EH purposes.
