Abstract: Abstract A time-dependent, flavour-tagged measurement of CP violation is performed with B 0 → D + D − and B s 0 $$ {B}_s^0 $$ → D s + D s − $$ {D}_s^{+}{D}_s^{-} $$ decays, using data collected by the LHCb detector in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 6 fb −1. In B 0 → D + D − decays the CP-violation parameters are measured to be S D + D − = − 0.552 ± 0.100 stat ± 0.010 syst , C D + D − = 0.128 ± 0.103 stat ± 0.010 syst . $$ {\displaystyle \begin{array}{c}{S}_{D^{+}{D}^{-}}=-0.552\pm 0.100\left(\textrm{stat}\right)\pm 0.010\left(\textrm{syst}\right),\\ {}{C}_{D^{+}{D}^{-}}=0.128\pm 0.103\left(\textrm{stat}\right)\pm 0.010\left(\textrm{syst}\right).\end{array}} $$ In B s 0 $$ {B}_s^0 $$ → D s + D s − $$ {D}_s^{+}{D}_s^{-} $$ decays the CP-violating parameter formulation in terms of ϕ s and |λ| results in ϕ s = − 0.086 ± 0.106 stat ± 0.028 syst rad , ∣ λ D s + D s − ∣ = 1.145 ± 0.126 stat ± 0.031 syst . $$ {\displaystyle \begin{array}{c}{\phi}_s=-0.086\pm 0.106\left(\textrm{stat}\right)\pm 0.028\left(\textrm{syst}\right)\textrm{rad},\\ {}\mid {\lambda}_{D_s^{+}{D}_s^{-}}\mid =1.145\pm 0.126\left(\textrm{stat}\right)\pm 0.031\left(\textrm{syst}\right).\end{array}} $$ These results represent the most precise single measurement of the CP-violation parameters in their respective channels. For the first time in a single measurement, CP symmetry is observed to be violated in B 0 → D + D − decays with a significance exceeding six standard deviations.

Abstract: Abstract The differential branching fraction and angular coefficients of Λ b 0 $$ {\Lambda}_b^0 $$ → pK − μ + μ − decays are measured in bins of the dimuon mass squared and dihadron mass. The analysis is performed using a data set corresponding to 9 fb −1 of integrated luminosity collected with the LHCb detector between 2011 and 2018. The data are consistent with receiving contributions from a mixture of Λ resonances with different spin-parity quantum numbers. The angular coefficients show a pattern of vector-axial vector interference that is a characteristic of the type of flavour-changing neutral-current transition relevant for these decays.

Abstract: Abstract Using pp collision data at s $$ \sqrt{s} $$ = 13 TeV, recorded by the LHCb experiment between 2016 and 2018 and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.4 fb −1, the forward-backward asymmetry in the pp → Z/γ * → μ + μ − process is measured. The measurement is carried out in ten intervals of the difference between the muon pseudorapidities, within a fiducial region covering dimuon masses between 66 and 116 GeV, muon pseudorapidities between 2.0 and 4.5 and muon transverse momenta above 20 GeV. These forward-backward asymmetries are compared with predictions, at next-to-leading order in the strong and electroweak couplings. The measured effective leptonic weak mixing angle is sin 2 θ eff ℓ = 0.23147 ± 0.00044 ± 0.00005 ± 0.00023 , $$ {\sin}^2{\theta}_{\textrm{eff}}^{\ell }=0.23147\pm 0.00044\pm 0.00005\pm 0.00023, $$ where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second arises from systematic uncertainties associated with the asymmetry measurement, and the third arises from uncertainties in the fit model used to extract sin 2 θ eff ℓ $$ {\sin}^2{\theta}_{\textrm{eff}}^{\ell } $$ from the asymmetry measurement. This result is based on an arithmetic average of results using the CT18, MSHT20, and NNPDF31 parameterisations of the proton internal structure, and is consistent with previous measurements and with predictions from the global electroweak fit.

Abstract: Abstract The decays of the χb1(1P), χb2(1P), χb1(2P) and χb2(2P) mesons into the Υ(1S)μ+μ − final state are observed with a high significance using proton-proton collision data collected with the LHCb detector and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9 fb −1. The newly observed decays together with the Υ(2S) → Υ(1S)π+π − and Υ(3S) → Υ(2S)π+π − decay modes are used for precision measurements of the mass and mass splittings for the hidden-beauty states.

Abstract: Abstract We report measurements of the e + e − → B B ¯ $$ B\overline{B} $$ , B B ¯ ∗ $$ B{\overline{B}}^{\ast } $$ , and B ∗ B ¯ ∗ $$ {B}^{\ast }{\overline{B}}^{\ast } $$ cross sections at four energies, 10653, 10701, 10746 and 10805 MeV, using data collected by the Belle II experiment. We reconstruct one B meson in a large number of hadronic final states and use its momentum to identify the production process. In the first 2 – 5 MeV above B ∗ B ¯ ∗ $$ {B}^{\ast }{\overline{B}}^{\ast } $$ threshold, the e + e − → B ∗ B ¯ ∗ $$ {B}^{\ast }{\overline{B}}^{\ast } $$ cross section increases rapidly. This may indicate the presence of a pole close to the threshold.

9. Inverse dynamics and inertia coupling analysis of a parallel mechanism with parasitic motions and redundant actuations

Author: C. Cheng, X. Yuan, Y. Li, and F. Zeng

Abstract: In this paper, a bio-inspired masticatory mechanism has been developed to reproduce the chewing behaviors of human beings. It is a natural spatial parallel mechanism constrained directly by the base at its end effector. These constraints form two point-contact higher kinematic pairs, producing parasitic motions and redundant actuations simultaneously. To facilitate the model-based control, a rigid-body inverse dynamic model is built and the inertia coupling is analyzed. Firstly, by virtue of a dynamic method, the Hessian matrices of the constraint equations and the kinetic energy are derived. The modeling process is straightforward, and the correctness is validated by virtue of the classical Lagrange equations. However, from the comparison between the technique in this method and a classical method in computing the first time derivative of the Jacobian matrices and the Coriolis–centrifugal force matrix, the former is more time-consuming. Secondly, the inertia coupling is analyzed via the inertia matrix in the joint space, showing that the first, third, and fourth active joints are the most strongly coupled. Finally, by comparing both the inverse dynamics and inertia coupling of the target mechanism and its counterpart, the foregoing constraints raise the computational cost of the inverse dynamics extraordinarily but greatly alleviate the inertia coupling.

Abstract: Abstract We present the result of a search for the charged-lepton-flavor violating decay τ − → μ − μ + μ − using a 424 fb −1 sample of data recorded by the Belle II experiment at the SuperKEKB e + e − collider. The selection of e + e − → τ + τ − events is based on an inclusive reconstruction of the non-signal tau decay, and on a boosted decision tree to suppress background. We observe one signal candidate, which is compatible with the expectation from background processes. We set a 90% confidence level upper limit of 1.9 × 10 −8 on the branching fraction of the τ − → μ − μ + μ − decay, which is the most stringent bound to date.

Abstract: Abstract We present a measurement of the ratio R μ = B τ − → μ − ν ¯ μ ν τ / B τ − → e − ν ¯ e ν τ $$ {R}_{\mu }=\mathcal{B}\left({\tau}^{-}\to {\mu}^{-}{\overline{\nu}}_{\mu }{\nu}_{\tau}\right)/\mathcal{B}\left({\tau}^{-}\to {e}^{-}{\overline{\nu}}_e{\nu}_{\tau}\right) $$ of branching fractions B $$ \mathcal{B} $$ of the τ lepton decaying to muons or electrons using data collected with the Belle II detector at the SuperKEKB e + e − collider. The sample has an integrated luminosity of 362 ± 2 fb −1 at a centre-of-mass energy of 10.58 GeV. Using an optimised event selection, a binned maximum likelihood fit is performed using the momentum spectra of the electron and muon candidates. The result, R μ = 0.9675 ± 0.0007 ± 0.0036, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic, is the most precise to date. It provides a stringent test of the light-lepton universality, translating to a ratio of the couplings of the muon and electron to the W boson in τ decays of 0.9974 ± 0.0019, in agreement with the standard model expectation of unity.

Abstract: Abstract We present measurements of the branching fractions of eight B ¯ 0 $$ {\overline{B}}^0 $$ → D (*)+ K − K S ∗ 0 $$ {K}_{(S)}^{\left(\ast \right)0} $$ , B − → D (*)0 K − K S ∗ 0 $$ {K}_{(S)}^{\left(\ast \right)0} $$ decay channels. The results are based on data from SuperKEKB electron-positron collisions at the Υ(4S) resonance collected with the Belle II detector, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 362 fb −1. The event yields are extracted from fits to the distributions of the difference between expected and observed B meson energy, and are efficiency-corrected as a function of m(K − K S ∗ 0 $$ {K}_{(S)}^{\left(\ast \right)0} $$ ) and m(D (*) K S ∗ 0 $$ {K}_{(S)}^{\left(\ast \right)0} $$ ) in order to avoid dependence on the decay model. These results include the first observation of B ¯ 0 $$ {\overline{B}}^0 $$ → D + K − K S 0 $$ {K}_S^0 $$ , B − → D* 0 K − K S 0 $$ {K}_S^0 $$ , and B ¯ 0 $$ {\overline{B}}^0 $$ → D* + K − K S 0 $$ {K}_S^0 $$ decays and a significant improvement in the precision of the other channels compared to previous measurements. The helicity-angle distributions and the invariant mass distributions of the K − K S ∗ 0 $$ {K}_{(S)}^{\left(\ast \right)0} $$ systems are compatible with quasi-two-body decays via a resonant transition with spin-parity J P = 1− for the K − K S 0 $$ {K}_S^0 $$ systems and J P = 1+ for the K − K* 0 systems. We also present measurements of the branching fractions of four B ¯ 0 $$ {\overline{B}}^0 $$ → D (*)+ D s − $$ {D}_s^{-} $$ , B − → D (*)0 D s − $$ {D}_s^{-} $$ decay channels with a precision compatible to the current world averages.

Abstract: Abstract Permanent residence at high-altitude and chronic mountain sickness (CMS) may alter the cerebrovascular homeostasis and orthostatic responses. Healthy male participants living at sea-level (LL; n = 15), 3800 m (HL3800m; n = 13) and 5100 m (HL5100m; n = 17), respectively, and CMS highlanders living at 5100 m (n = 31) were recruited. Middle cerebral artery mean blood flow velocity (MCAv), cerebral oxygen delivery (CDO2), mean blood pressure (MAP), heart rate variability and spontaneuous cardiac baroreflex sensitivity (cBRS) were assessed while sitting, initial 30 s and after 3 min of standing. Cerebral autoregulation index (ARI) was estimated (ΔMCAv%baseline)/ΔMAP%baseline) in response to the orthostatic challenge. Altitude and CMS were associated with hypoxemia and elevated hemoglobin concentration. While sitting, MCAv and LFpower negatively correlated with altitude but were not affected by CMS. CDO2 remained preserved. BRS was comparable across all altitudes, but lower with CMS. Within initial 30 s of standing, altitude and CMS correlated with a lesser ΔMAP while ARI remained unaffected. After 3 min standing, MCAv, CDO2 and cBRS remained preserved across altitudes. The LF/HF ratio increased in HL5100m compared to LL and HL3800m from sitting to standing. In contrary, CMS showed blunted autonomic nervous activation in responses to standing. Despite altitude- and CMS-associated hypoxemia, erythrocytosis and impaired blood pressure regulation (CMS only), cerebral homeostasis remained overall preserved.

Abstract: Climate data matching the scales at which organisms experience climatic conditions are often missing. Yet, such data on microclimatic conditions are required to better understand climate change impacts on biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. Here we combine a network of microclimate temperature measurements across different habitats and vertical heights with a novel radiative transfer model to map daily temperatures during the vegetation period at 10 m spatial resolution across Switzerland. Our results reveal strong horizontal and vertical variability in microclimate temperature, particularly for maximum temperatures at 5 cm above the ground and within the topsoil. Compared to macroclimate conditions as measured by weather stations outside forests, diurnal air and topsoil temperature ranges inside forests were reduced by up to 3.0 and 7.8 ∘C, respectively, while below trees outside forests, e.g. in hedges and below solitary trees, this buffering effect was 1.8 and 7.2 ∘C, respectively. We also found that, in open grasslands, maximum temperatures at 5 cm above ground are, on average, 3.4 ∘C warmer than those of the macroclimate, suggesting that, in such habitats, heat exposure close to the ground is often underestimated when using macroclimatic data. Spatial interpolation was achieved by using a hybrid approach based on linear mixed-effect models with input from detailed radiation estimates from radiative transfer models that account for topographic and vegetation shading, as well as other predictor variables related to the macroclimate, topography, and vegetation height. After accounting for macroclimate effects, microclimate patterns were primarily driven by radiation, with particularly strong effects on maximum temperatures. Results from spatial block cross-validation revealed predictive accuracies as measured by root mean squared errors ranging from 1.18 to 3.43 ∘C, with minimum temperatures being predicted more accurately overall than maximum temperatures. The microclimate-mapping methodology presented here enables a biologically relevant perspective when analysing climate–species interactions, which is expected to lead to a better understanding of biotic and ecosystem responses to climate and land use change.

17. Multidecadal variability and predictability of Antarctic sea ice in the GFDL SPEAR_LO model

Subjects: Environmental sciences, GE1-350, Geology, QE1-996.5
Abstract: Using a state-of-the-art coupled general circulation model, physical processes underlying Antarctic sea ice multidecadal variability and predictability are investigated. Our model simulations constrained by atmospheric reanalysis and observed sea surface temperature broadly capture a multidecadal variability in the observed sea ice extent (SIE) with a low sea ice state (late 1970s–1990s) and a high sea ice state (2000s–early 2010s), although the model overestimates the SIE decrease in the Weddell Sea around the 1980s. The low sea ice state is largely due to the deepening of the mixed layer and the associated deep convection that brings subsurface warm water to the surface. During the high sea ice period (post-2000s), the deep convection substantially weakens, so surface wind variability plays a greater role in the SIE variability. Decadal retrospective forecasts started from the above model simulations demonstrate that the Antarctic sea ice multidecadal variability can be skillfully predicted 6–10 years in advance, showing a moderate correlation with the observation. Ensemble members with a deeper mixed layer and stronger deep convection tend to predict a larger sea ice decrease in the 1980s, whereas members with a larger surface wind variability tend to predict a larger sea ice increase after the 2000s. Therefore, skillful simulation and prediction of the Antarctic sea ice multidecadal variability require accurate simulation and prediction of the mixed layer, deep convection, and surface wind variability in the model.

Abstract: Abstract We describe the baseline model configuration and simulation characteristics of the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL)'s Land Model version 4.1 (LM4.1), which builds on component and coupled model developments over 2013–2019 for the coupled carbon‐chemistry‐climate Earth System Model Version 4.1 (ESM4.1) simulation as part of the sixth phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project. Analysis of ESM4.1/LM4.1 is focused on biophysical and biogeochemical processes and interactions with climate. Key features include advanced vegetation dynamics and multi‐layer canopy energy and moisture exchanges, daily fire, land use representation, and dynamic atmospheric dust coupling. We compare LM4.1 performance in the GFDL Earth System Model (ESM) configuration ESM4.1 to the previous generation component LM3.0 in the ESM2G configuration. ESM4.1/LM4.1 provides significant improvement in the treatment of ecological processes from GFDL's previous generation models. However, ESM4.1/LM4.1 likely overestimates the influence of land use and land cover change on vegetation characteristics, particularly on pasturelands, as it overestimates the competitiveness of grasses versus trees in the tropics, and as a result, underestimates present‐day biomass and carbon uptake in comparison to observations.

Abstract: Climate change presents a significant challenge to lagoon ecosystems, which are highly valued coastal environments known for their provision of unique ecosystem services. As important as fragile, lagoons are vulnerable to both natural processes and anthropogenic activities, and this vulnerability is exacerbated by the impacts of climate change, which are likely to result in severe ecological consequences. The complexity of water quality (WQ) processes, characterized by compounding and interconnected pressures, highlights the importance of adequate sophisticated methods to estimate future ecological impacts on lagoon environments. In this setting, a hybrid framework is introduced where Machine Learning (ML) and biogeochemical (BGC) models are integrated in a sequential modelling approach. This integration exploits the unique strengths offered by both models. The ML model allows capturing and learning linear and nonlinear correlations from historical data; the BGC interprets and simulates complex environmental systems subject to compounded pressures, building on identified causal relationships. Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) and Random Forest (RF) ML algorithms are trained, validated and tested within the Venice lagoon case study to assimilate historical WQ data (i.e., water temperature, salinity, and dissolved oxygen) and spatio-temporal information (i.e., monitoring station location and month), and to predict changes in chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) conditions. Then, projections from the BGC model SHYFEM-BFM for 2019, 2050, and 2100 timeframes under RCP 8.5 are integrated into the ML model (composing the hybrid ML-BGC model) to evaluate Chl-a variations under future biogeochemical conditions forced by climate change projections. Moreover, the SHYFEM-BFM standalone Chl-a projections are also used to compare the hybrid and the BGC scenarios. Annual and seasonal Chl-a predictions are developed by classes based on two classification modes (median and quartiles) established on the descriptive statistics computed on historical data. Results from the case study showed as the RF successfully classifies Chl-a with an overall model accuracy of about 80% for the median and 61% for the quartiles modes. Concerning future climate change scenarios, results revealed a decreasing trend for the lowest Chl-a values (below the first quartile, i.e. 0.85 µg/l) moving to the far future (2100), with an opposite rising trend for the highest Chl-a values (above the fourth quartile, i.e. 2.78 µg/l). On the seasonal level, summer remains the season with the highest Chl-a values in all scenarios, although in 2100 a strong increase in higher Chl-a values is also expected during the springtime one. The proposed hybrid framework represents a valuable approach to strengthen both multivariate Chl-a modelling and scenarios analysis, by placing artificial intelligence-based models alongside biogeochemical models.

Abstract: AbstractBackground Data on advance care planning (ACP) among migrants in Europe is lacking. Research has shown that few older migrants in the United States perform ACP due to healthcare system distrust, collectivistic values and spirituality/religion.Objectives To explore the ACP knowledge and perspectives of older Turkish-origin adults in Belgium requiring palliative care.Method General practitioners (GPs) in Brussels and Antwerp recruited Turkish-origin participants aged ≥ 65 years with palliative care eligibility for this qualitative study. A GP conducted semi-structured interviews in Turkish in respondents’ homes between May 2019 and February 2022 using a topic guide. Two researchers performed combined inductive/deductive thematic data analysis.Results All 15 interviewees (average age, 79 years) lacked ACP awareness and information. Some had discussed specific end-of-life preferences (e.g. care location, burial place) with family. Still, many did not feel the need to discuss future healthcare preferences, due mainly to trust in God and family for caretaking and decision-making. Some respondents viewed ACP discussions as applicable, relieving the burden on family and enabling proactive addressing of ‘what if’ questions. Self-identified ACP barriers were fear of making wrong decisions, ‘living in the moment’ and difficulty discussing death. Facilitators were obtaining sufficient ACP information and recent family illness or death.Conclusion Our sample of Turkish-origin older adults in Belgium requiring palliative care lacked ACP knowledge. Our findings suggest that their lack of engagement in discussing end-of-life medical care planning was linked to their family dynamics and religion. The findings have implications for healthcare providers to ethnic-minority groups.

Abstract: The Brewer ozone spectrophotometer (the Brewer) is one of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) Global Atmosphere Watch (GAW)'s standard ozone-monitoring instruments since the 1980s. The entire global Brewer ozone-monitoring network is operated and maintained via a hierarchical calibration chain, which started from world reference instruments that are independently calibrated via the primary calibration method (PCM) at a premium site (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Mauna Loa Observatory, Hawaii). These world reference instruments have been maintained by Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) in Toronto for the last 4 decades. Their calibration is transferred to the travelling standard instrument and then to network (field) Brewer instruments at their monitoring sites (all via the calibration transfer method; CTM). Thus, the measurement accuracy for the entire global network is dependent on the calibration of world reference instruments. In 2003, to coordinate regional calibration needs, the Regional Brewer Calibration Center for Europe (RBCC-E) was formed in Izaña, Spain. From that point, RBCC-E began calibrating regional references also via PCM instead of CTM. The equivalency and consistency of world and regional references are then assured during international calibration campaigns. In practice, these two calibration methods have different physical requirements, e.g., the PCM requires a stable ozone field in the short term (i.e., half-day), while the CTM would benefit from larger changes in slant ozone conditions for the calibration periods. This difference dictates that the PCM can only be implemented on Brewer instruments at certain sites and even in certain months of the year. This work is the first effort to use long-term observation records from 11 Brewer instruments at four sites to reveal the challenges in performing the PCM. By utilizing a new calibration simulation model and reanalysis ozone data, this work also quantifies uncertainties in the PCM due to short-term ozone variability. The results are validated by real-world observations and used to provide scientific advice on where and when the PCM can be performed and how many days of observations are needed to achieve the calibration goal (i.e., ensure the calibration uncertainty is within a determined criterion, i.e., ≤5 R6 units; R6 is a measurement-derived double ratio in the actual Brewer processing algorithm). This work also suggests that even if the PCM cannot be used to deliver final calibration results for mid- or high-latitude sites, the statistics of the long-term PCM fitting results can still provide key information for field Brewer instruments as stability indicators (which would provide performance monitoring and data quality assurance).

Abstract: The olive (Olea europaea L.) is one of the most important plants grown in many Mediterranean countries that has a high economic value. Olives, which are specific to each region, have different bioactive components. In this study, we investigated the phenolic/flavonoid contents, as well as antioxidant, antimicrobial, and antithrombotic activities of the fruit, leaf, and seed extracts obtained from the Halhalı olive grown in Arsuz district of Hatay, Turkey. Antioxidant activities of the phenolic compounds found in the olive fruit, seed, and leaf extracts were determined by employing established in vitro systems. Total phenolics were determined as gallic acid equivalents, while total flavonoids were determined as quercetin equivalents. Also, we evaluated a possible interaction between oleuropein and aggregation-related glycoproteins of the platelet surface via docking studies. The extracts showed effective antioxidant activity. The seed extract had the highest phenolic content of 317.24 μg GAE, while the fruit extract had the highest flavonoid content of 4.43 μg. The highest potential for metal chelating activity was found in the leaf extract, with an IC50 value of 13.33 mg/mL. Also, the leaf extract showed higher levels of antioxidant, antithrombotic, and antimicrobial activity, compared to the fruit and seed extracts. The docking scores of oleuropein against the target molecules GPVI, α2β1, and GPIbα were calculated as –3.798, –4.315, and –6.464 kcal/mol, respectively. The olive fruit, leaf, and seed extracts used as experimental material in our study have remarkable antioxidant, antimicrobial, and antithrombotic potential.

25. Financing care for Severe Stigmatizing Skin Diseases (SSSDs) in Liberia: challenges and opportunities

Abstract: Abstract Introduction Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) are an important global health challenge, however, little is known about how to effectively finance NTD related services. Integrated management in particular, is put forward as an efficient and effective treatment modality. This is a background study to a broader health economic evaluation, seeking to document the costs of integrated case management of NTDs versus standard care in Liberia. In the current study, we document barriers and facilitators to NTD care from a health financing perspective. Methods We carried out key informant interviews with 86 health professionals and 16 national health system policymakers. 46 participants were active in counties implementing integrated case management and 40 participants were active in counties implementing standard care. We also interviewed 16 patients and community members. All interviews were transcribed and analysed using the thematic framework approach. Findings We found that decentralization for NTD financing is not yet achieved – financing and reporting for NTDs is still centralized and largely donor-driven as a vertical programme; government involvement in NTD financing is still minimal, focused mainly on staffing, but non-governmental organisations (NGOs) or international agencies are supporting supply and procurement of medications. Donor support and involvement in NTDs are largely coordinated around the integrated case management. Quantification for goods and budget estimations are specific challenges, given the high donor dependence, particularly for NTD related costs and the government’s limited financial role at present. These challenges contribute to stockouts of medications and supplies at clinic level, while delays in payments of salaries from the government compromise staff attendance and retention. For patients, the main challenges are high transportation costs, with inflated charges due to fear and stigma amongst motorbike taxi riders, and out-of-pocket payments for medication during stockouts and food/toiletries (for in-patients). Conclusion Our findings contribute to the limited work on financing of SSSD services in West African settings and provide insight on challenges and opportunities for financing and large costs in accessing care by households, which is also being exacerbated by stigma.

Abstract: Abstract Background Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage is a frequent and challenging complication in neurosurgery, especially in the posterior fossa, with a prevalence of 8%. It is associated with substantial morbidity and increased healthcare costs. A novel dural sealant patch (LIQOSEAL) was developed for watertight dural closure. The objective of this study is to clinically assess the safety and effectiveness of LIQOSEAL as a means of reducing intra- as well as postoperative CSF leakage in patients undergoing elective posterior fossa intradural surgery with a dural closure procedure compared to the best currently available dural sealants. Methods We will conduct a two-arm, randomized controlled, multicenter study with a 90-day follow-up. A total of 228 patients will be enrolled in 19 sites, of which 114 will receive LIQOSEAL and 114 an FDA-approved PEG sealant. The composite primary endpoint is defined as intraoperative CSF leakage at PEEP 20 cm H2O, percutaneous CSF leakage within 90 days of, wound infection within 90 days of or pseudomeningocele of more than 20cc on MRI or requiring intervention. We hypothesize that the primary endpoint will not be reached by more than 10 patients (9%) in the investigational arm, which will demonstrate non-inferiority of LIQOSEAL compared to control. Discussion This trial will evaluate whether LIQOSEAL is non-inferior to control as a means of reducing CSF leakage and safety Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov NCT04086550 .

Abstract: The plasma current start-up experiment is conducted through electron cyclotron (EC) heating in the QUEST spherical tokamak. During the EC heating, the application of a toroidal electric field in the opposite direction to the plasma current effectively inhibits the growth of energetic electrons. Observations show rapid increases in plasma current and hard x-ray count immediately following the cancellation of the retarding electric field. When a compact tokamak configuration maintains equilibrium on the high field side, along with the retarding field, it leads to effective bulk electron heating. This heating achieved an electron temperature of T _e ≈ 1 keV at electron density n _e > 1.0 × 10 ^18 m ^−3 . Ray tracing of the EC wave verifies that more power absorption into plasma through a single-pass occurs around the second resonance layer with higher values of electron density and temperature.

Abstract: The continuous expansion of the Water Distribution Network (WDN) makes its design a dynamic process performed within many planning horizons. An appropriate planning horizon is important to save costs and avoid over-design. Typically, a master plan is practiced around every 20 years. The complexity of WDN and computational demands have prevented a full network study of the impact of planning horizons on system cost and efficiency. In this paper, a dynamic network model was employed to simulate the growth of WDN under different growth patterns (exponential and linear) and planning horizons to explore the optimum planning horizon under different interest rates. It is found that the choice of the optimum (i.e. least costly) planning horizon is sensitive to the interest rate. For both growth patterns, a shorter planning horizon is favored with higher annual interest rates while a longer planning horizon is favored with lower rates. With the same interest rate, exponential growth pattern generally favors a shorter planning horizon than a linear growth pattern due to more excess capacity provided at the beginning of the study period. The optimum planning horizon is longer than 20 years when the interest rate is lower than 3.0% for linear growth or 2.0% for exponential growth.

Abstract: Gated, microchannel-plate-based (MCP) framing cameras have been deployed worldwide for 0.2–9 keV x-ray imaging and spectroscopy of transient plasma phenomena. For a variety of spectroscopic and imaging applications, the angular sensitivity of MCPs must be known for correctly interpreting the data. We present systematic measurements of angular sensitivity at discrete relevant photon energies and arbitrary MCP gain. The results can been accurately predicted by using a simple two-dimensional approximation to the three-dimensional MCP geometry and by averaging over all possible photon ray paths.

32. Kumquat fruit and leaves extracted with different solvents: phenolic content and antioxidant activity

Author: Çağrı Büyükkormaz and F. Zehra Küçükbay
Subjects: antioxidant activity, flavonoid substance, kumquat, phenolic content, extract, solvent, Food processing and manufacture, TP368-456
Abstract: Introduction. Kumquat is a good source of vitamin C, as well as phenolic and flavonoid substances. In this study, we used various solvents to obtain extracts from fresh and lyophilized dried fruits and leaves of kumquat plant, as well as six mutants, to compare their total phenolic and flavonoid contents and antioxidant activities. Study objects and methods. The total phenolic and flavonoid content was determined by the Folin-Ciocalteu method and the colorimetric method, respectively. The antioxidant capacities of the extracts were determined by commonly used antioxidant tests, such as the DPPH radical scavenging activity, reducing power, and metal chelating activity. Results and discussion. The total phenolic content of the extracts was in the range of 3705–86 329 mg GAE/g extract. The total amount of flavonoid substance ranged from 5556 to 632 222 mg QUE/g extract. The highest free radical scavenging activity was observed in the kumquat leaves. We also found that the activity of dried fruit was lower than that of fresh fruit. According to our results, the differences in the phenolic contents of the studied plants affected their antioxidant properties. We determined that the extracts with a high phenolic content showed high antioxidant activity. No significant difference was detected between the rootstock kumquat type and its mutants. Finally, we found no chelating activity in the extracts obtained from fresh and lyophilized dried fruits. Conclusion. Kumquat fruit and its leaves can be considered as functional foods due to phenolic compounds, which are able to neutralize free radicals.

Abstract: In this paper we report the results of experiments that compare the x-ray emission from a laser spot in a radiation-filled hohlraum to that from a similar laser spot on a simple disk target. The studies were done using the Nova laser facility [J. D. Lindl, Phys. Plasmas 2, 3933 (1995)] in its 0.35 μm wavelength, 1 ns square pulse configuration. Focal spot intensities were 2–3.5×1015 W/cm2. X-ray images measured x-ray conversion in a hohlraum and from an isolated disk simultaneously. A laser spot inside a hohlraum emitted more x rays, after subtracting the background emission from the hohlraum walls, than a spot on a disk. Numerical models suggest the enhanced spot emission inside the hohlraum is due to an increase in lateral transport relative to the disk. Filamentation in the hohlraum will also increase the spot size. The models agree fairly well with the results on spot spreading but do not explain the overall increase in conversion efficiency.

Abstract: High-Z, laser heated hohlraums can be made thick enough to contain thermal radiation, yet thin enough to let out x rays >∼6 keV produced by hot, relatively dense blow-off plasma. We use such “thin wall hohlraums” to observe the physical location of hot, dense, laser produced hohlraum plasmas. This technique has allowed us to come to some understanding of laser transport/deposition, plasma stagnation, and bulk plasma filling.

Abstract: Trees record climatic conditions during their growth, and tree rings serve as proxy to reveal the features of the historical climate of a region. In this study, we collected tree-ring cores of hemlock forest (Tsuga forrestii) from the northwestern Yunnan area of the southeastern Tibetan Plateau (SETP) and created a residual tree-ring width (TRW) chronology. An analysis of the relationship between tree growth and climate revealed that precipitation during the non-growing season (NGS) (from November of the previous year to February of the current year) was the most important constraining factor on the radial tree growth of hemlock forests in this region. In addition, the influence of NGS precipitation on radial tree growth was relatively uniform over time (1956–2005). Accordingly, we reconstructed the NGS precipitation over the period spanning from 1600–2005. The reconstruction accounted for 28.5 % of the actual variance during the common period of 1956–2005. Based on the reconstruction, NGS was extremely dry during the years 1656, 1694, 1703, 1736, 1897, 1907, 1943, 1982 and 1999. In contrast, the NGS was extremely wet during the years 1627, 1638, 1654, 1832, 1834–1835 and 1992. Similar variations of the NGS precipitation reconstruction series and Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI) reconstructions of early growing season from surrounding regions indicated the reliability of the present reconstruction. A comparison of the reconstruction with Climate Research Unit (CRU) gridded data revealed that our reconstruction was representative of the NGS precipitation variability of a large region in the SETP. Our study provides the first historical NGS precipitation reconstruction in the SETP which enriches the understanding of the long-term climate variability of this region. The NGS precipitation showed slightly increasing trend during the last decade which might accelerate regional hemlock forest growth.

Abstract: The Amazon experiences fires every year, and the resulting biomass burning aerosols, together with cloud particles, influence the penetration of sunlight through the atmosphere, increasing the ratio of diffuse to direct photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) reaching the vegetation canopy and thereby potentially increasing ecosystem productivity. In this study, we use the NASA Goddard Earth Observing System (GEOS) model with coupled aerosol, cloud, radiation, and ecosystem modules to investigate the impact of Amazon biomass burning aerosols on ecosystem productivity, as well as the role of the Amazon's clouds in tempering this impact. The study focuses on a 7-year period (2010–2016) during which the Amazon experienced a variety of dynamic environments (e.g., La Niña, normal years, and El Niño). The direct radiative impact of biomass burning aerosols on ecosystem productivity – called here the aerosol diffuse radiation fertilization effect – is found to increase Amazonian gross primary production (GPP) by 2.6 % via a 3.8 % increase in diffuse PAR (DFPAR) despite a 5.4 % decrease in direct PAR (DRPAR) on multiyear average during burning seasons. On a monthly basis, this increase in GPP can be as large as 9.9 % (occurring in August 2010). Consequently, the net primary production (NPP) in the Amazon is increased by 1.5 %, or ∼92 Tg C yr−1 – equivalent to ∼37 % of the average carbon lost due to Amazon fires over the 7 years considered. Clouds, however, strongly regulate the effectiveness of the aerosol diffuse radiation fertilization effect. The efficiency of this fertilization effect is the highest in cloud-free conditions and linearly decreases with increasing cloud amount until the cloud fraction reaches ∼0.8, at which point the aerosol-influenced light changes from being a stimulator to an inhibitor of plant growth. Nevertheless, interannual changes in the overall strength of the aerosol diffuse radiation fertilization effect are primarily controlled by the large interannual changes in biomass burning aerosols rather than by changes in cloudiness during the studied period.

Subjects: Scissors mode, γ-strength function, Transfermium nuclides, Physics, QC1-999
Abstract: We present the first experimental evidence of the scissors mode in the superheavy nucleus 254No produced in the 208Pb(48Ca, 2nγ))254No reaction. The spectrum of γ rays emitted by the excited 254No nuclei shows an enhanced γ-ray yield for transition energies of ≈2.5 MeV. By measuring the linear polarization properties of the emitted γ rays, we confirm that the transitions in the enhancement region are predominantly of magnetic-dipole character, characteristic for the scissors mode. To further characterize the enhanced γ-ray yield, simulations of the electromagnetic decay of 254No were performed. The observed enhancement is reproduced by including an M1 component in the γ strength function with total strength B(M1↑)=11.8(19)μN2. This is in good agreement with the integrated M1 strength from sum-rule estimates and new calculations within the quasi-particle random-phase approximation presented here. Our results provide a stringent test of phenomenological formulae for the scissors mode currently used in stellar nucleosynthesis calculations. We find that those formulae are not satisfactory, and we recommend using sum-rule estimates assuming a rigid-body moment of inertia instead for describing the scissors mode in superheavy nuclei.

Abstract: The Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) Program and the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory has made substantial progress in understanding the details of the radiation drive and the dynamics of capsules imploded by the Nova laser. A detailed understanding, validated by Nova experiments of the crucial physics for implosions is necessary before a new facility is started. A National Academy of Science Review Committee on ICF has recently endorsed a 12 point technical contract for the Nova program. Recent experiments have achieved a substantial number of these goals. A decrease in the level of plasma instabilities has been demonstrated by the use of phase plates. Neutron measurements have been used to demonstrate high densities in well understood implosions. A detailed understanding of the Rayleigh-Taylor instability at the ablation front of x-ray driven planar foil targets with large hydrodynamic growth factors has been proven. X-ray spectroscopy has been used to demonstrate a high fuel density and an improvement in the compression ratio of targets when a shaped pulse is used to keep a pusher on a low rho-r trajectory.

Abstract: Experiments to study the angular dependence of laser‐light absorption in long‐scale‐length, planar plasmas are reported. Flat‐topped, 1 nsec pulses of 0.35 μm laser light, with up to 2.5 kJ at average laser intensities of 3×1013 to 6×1015 W/cm2, were used to irradiate thick, gold targets at angles of incidence of 0° to >50°. The scattered light was measured using a number of diagnostics, and the absorption was inferred from these measurements. The absorption decreased somewhat with increasing laser intensity, typically remaining above 90% for laser intensities below 1015 W/cm2, and was very weakly dependent upon the angle of incidence. Modeling of the reflected light was used to constrain the properties of the plasma and of the reflecting mechanism. No simple model of a single mechanism is consistent with all aspects of the data.

Abstract: Abstract Objectives In this study, we will investigate the effect of hydroxychloroquine on the prevention of novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in cancer patients being treated. Trial design This is a two-arm, parallel-group, triple-blind, phase 2–3 randomized controlled trial. Participants All patients over the age of 15 years from 5 types of cancer will be included in the study. Patients with acute lymphoid and myeloid leukemias in the first line treated with curative intent, patients with high-grade non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma treated with leukemia regimens, and patients with non-metastatic breast and colon cancer in the first line of treatment will enter the study. Intervention and comparator Patients are randomly assigned to two groups: one being given hydroxychloroquine and the other is given placebo. During 2 months of treatment, the two groups will be treated with hydroxychloroquine every other day with a single 200-mg tablet (Amin® Pharmaceutical Company, Isfahan, Iran) or placebo (identical in terms of shape, color, and smell). Patients will be monitored for COVID-19 symptoms during follow-up period. If any COVID-19-related signs or symptoms occur, they will be examined, thoroughly, investigated with a high resolution computerize tomography (CT) scan of the lungs and nasopharyngeal swab assessed by RT-PCR for SARS-CoV-2 virus. This study will be performed in five centers affiliated to Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, Mashhad, Iran. Main outcomes The primary end point of this study is to investigate the incidence of COVID-19 in patients being treated for their cancer and receiving prophylactic Hydroxychloroquine. Randomization Randomization will be performed using random permuted blocks. By using online website ( www.randomization.com ), the randomization sequence will be produced by quadruple blocks. The allocation ratio in intervention and control groups is 1:1. Blinding (masking) Participants and caregivers do not know whether the patient is in the intervention or the control group. Those assessing the outcomes and data analyzer are also blinded to group assignment. Sample size The calculated total sample size is 60 patients, with 30 patients in each group.

41. Exergy analysis of petroleum refinery hydrogen network integration based on reaction system

Author: F. Zehra Özçelik and Özben Kutlu
Subjects: exergy, hydrogen network, petroleum refinery, modeling and simulation, Engineering (General). Civil engineering (General), TA1-2040
Abstract: High-purity hydrogen is a crucial input in a crude oil refinery to upgrade several products. For this reason, the effective hydrogen management is necessary to satisfy hydrogen requirements. On the other hand, adding exergy analysis to the hydrogen pinch analysis especially for refinery plants, where hydrogen reacts under high temperature and pressure, helps improve the efficiency of unit by overcoming the lack of pinch analysis. The aim of this study is the simulation and exergy analysis of reactors within hydrogen network integration of a petroleum refinery retrofitted by pinch analysis before. Two hydrogen production and four consumption units were considered and simulated by Aspen Plus, and then the exergy efficiencies were calculated. Low exergy efficiencies were determined in the hydrogen production and hydrodesulfurization units, whereas the separation of excess hydrogen from the desired product considerably effected on the efficiency. The results also show that not only the hydrogen demand of reactors has to be reduced, but also the hydrogen recovery and purification is very important for the increase in efficiency. Although the processes are carried out at the high operating conditions, the reactions significantly affect the total exergy flow rate.

Abstract: Abstract Aria is a plant hosting a $${350}\,\hbox {m}$$ 350 m cryogenic isotopic distillation column, the tallest ever built, which is being installed in a mine shaft at Carbosulcis S.p.A., Nuraxi-Figus (SU), Italy. Aria is one of the pillars of the argon dark-matter search experimental program, lead by the Global Argon Dark Matter Collaboration. It was designed to reduce the isotopic abundance of $${^{39}\hbox {Ar}}$$ 39 Ar in argon extracted from underground sources, called Underground Argon (UAr), which is used for dark-matter searches. Indeed, $${^{39}\hbox {Ar}}$$ 39 Ar is a $$\beta $$ β -emitter of cosmogenic origin, whose activity poses background and pile-up concerns in the detectors. In this paper, we discuss the requirements, design, construction, tests, and projected performance of the plant for the isotopic cryogenic distillation of argon. We also present the successful results of the isotopic cryogenic distillation of nitrogen with a prototype plant.

Abstract: Combined with the increasing demand for environmental pollution and electrical energy, combined cycle power plant power plants are increasingly important. It is necessary to increase the performance of power plants, reduce carbon emissions and increase energy production. Any change to the heat recovery steam generator design is an important component of the combined cycle power plant, as it directly affects the performance of the combined cycle power plant. This study describes the modeling, sensitivity and exergy analysis of a HRSG in a combined cycle power plant. Three-pressure HRSG was modeled with the Aspen Plus simulation program and sensitivity analysis was performed. At the same time, energy and exergy analyzes were made for each component in the combined cycle power plant.

44. Premios docentes con impacto: más allá del reconocimiento a la excelencia

Author: M. Feixas and F. Zellweger
Subjects: premios docentes, excelencia docente, cultura de aprendizaje, evaluación e impacto de la excelencia docente, estrategia institucional, educación superior, scholarship of teaching and learning, zurich university of teacher education, Education
Abstract: Los premios docentes son instrumentos dinámicos para desarrollar iniciativas institucionales y promover la calidad en la enseñanza. En España su trayectoria tiene menos historia y poco se ha publicado al respecto, no obstante en centro Europa y en los países anglosajones los premios llevan varias décadas formado parte de la educación superior. Tras años de otorgar premios, las instituciones quieren saber si están cambiando la percepción sobre la importancia de la docencia universitaria y cómo deberían diseñarse para que además de reconocer y honorar la excelencia docente, también promuevan el desarrollo sistemático de la cultura del aprendizaje en la organización, así como el Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL). En este artículo revisamos la bibliografía sobre las iniciativas de excelencia en la docencia y en concreto los premios a la excelencia en docencia; se muestran las concepciones de excelencia subyacentes a los premios y las ventajas y retos que se derivan de su implementación. Existen evidencias de que los premios docentes que no solo se otorgan para reconocen una trayectoria docente ejemplar sino que además promueven el desarrollo de proyectos transformativos, tienen mayor impacto no solo en el desarrollo docente individual sino también el colectivo e institucional. Un ejemplo que se muestra es el Premio de Desarrollo Docente de la Zurich University of Teacher Education. Finalmente, se presentan algunas recomendaciones para su implementación.

Subjects: glaze, ceramic sanitary-ware, zrsio4/zno ratio, vickers microhardness, whiteness., Technology
Abstract: This paper focuses on the effect of ZrSiO4/ZnO ratio on the properties of the glaze to be used on ceramic sanitary-ware. Structural and morphological characterization of these glazed ceramics were identified by XRD, SEM, FTIR and Raman Spectroscopy. Furthermore, thermal properties were determined by DTA and TG techniques. Besides, flexural strength, Vickers Microhardness, whiteness and chemical resistance were investigated experimentally. XRD analysis showed that the zircon and quartz were the crystalline phases, zircon was also precipitated into the glaze layer during firing. It was found that an increase of the ZrSiO4/ZnO ratio part weights from 3.85 to 67, causes an increase in the zircon crystallite particle size from 203.90 to 288.86 Å. From DTA, it was observed that by increasing ZrSiO4/ZnO ratio, the crystallization temperature of zircon decreases. The glaze exhibits the highest whiteness value when the ratio of ZrSiO4/ZnO becomes 12.60.

47. Effects of route of administration on oxytocin-induced changes in regional cerebral blood flow in humans

Author: D. A. Martins, N. Mazibuko, F. Zelaya, S. Vasilakopoulou, J. Loveridge, A. Oates, S. Maltezos, M. Mehta, S. Wastling, M. Howard, G. McAlonan, D. Murphy, S. C. R. Williams, A. Fotopoulou, U. Schuschnig, and Y. Paloyelis
Subjects: Science
Abstract: Intranasal oxytocin can affect brain function either by direct entry to the brain or by increasing oxytocin levels in blood plasma. Here, the authors show that increases in plasmatic oxytocin account for some but not all of the changes observed following intranasal oxytocin administration.

Abstract: Two‐dimensional, time resolved x‐ray imaging is a principal technique used to study hot plasmas produced in laser heated targets. It can be used to study laser energy deposition within the irradiation spot, the spatial and temporal dependence of laser to x‐ray conversion efficiency, electron transport and density profiles, mass ablation rates as well as x‐ray driven implosions in inertial confinement fusion experiments. We have successfully developed a new soft x‐ray framing camera which will allow us to record two‐dimensional images at different times almost simultaneously. It is a broadband diagnostic (100 eV≤Δhν≤400 eV) having three channels which can obtain x‐ray images at four different times from laser driven targets. Its current configuration includes one 500 eV, one 1.0 keV, and one ∼2.5 keV channels. The two low energy channels resulted from pairing transmission filters to grazing x‐ray mirrors. Other channel options can be implemented easily to measure other x‐ray energies. Four different striplines coated on a microchannel plate are gated at different times. Each strip records three different images taken nearly simultaneously, one image per channel. The result is 12 x‐ray images on film, four images per channel taken at four different times, with a nominal resolution of approximately 100 ps per image. The diagnostic’s spatial resolution is approximately 10 μm. We have already fielded this new instrument during x‐ray conversion experiments, using both low and high Z targets driven by 1–2 ns, ‘‘flattop’’ laser pulses. We will show the details of the instrument design and sample results from conversion experiments.
