Presented at the 37th EU PVSEC, September 2020 - online SILVER- AND INDIUM-FREE SILICON HETEROJUNCTION SOLAR CELL Agata Lachowicz, Gabriel Christmann, Antoine Descoeudres, Sylvain Nicolay, Christophe Ballif CSEM PV-center, Neuchâtel, Switzerland Email: agata.lachowicz@csem.ch ABSTRACT: Currently about 2000 tons of silver are consumed for 100 GW PV production per year and this are 10% of the entire world annual silver supply. Annual production volumes in the terawatt range are postulated by renowned experts already for 2030 and replacement of expensive and rare elements becomes imperative to sustain PV production on such a large scale. Replacement of silver has already been demonstrated and several process options for copper plating on heterojunction cells exist. With our plating sequense, comprising a PVD seed layer and hotmelt inkjet patterning and compatible with chemically resistant thin conductive oxides such as ITO or IWO, high efficiency of 24.7% has been achieved on industrial heterojunction cell precursors and excellent module reliability confirmed in extended ageing tests. This process has been modified for cells having an aluminum zinc oxide layer. In the first cell experiment the efficiency was 0.6% lower than the screen printed reference, because of lower Jsc. This is caused by remaining minor attact on the AZO during processing and optimization of the etch-back solution is ongoing. Keywords: heterojunction, copper plating, aluminum zinc oxide 1 INTRODUCTION Photovoltaics is a fast-growing market. The global cumulated PV installations have increased tenfold, from 40 GW in 2010 to 400 GW in 2017 and the Compound Annual Growth Rate for PV production was 36.8% in the last years [1]. By the end of 2018, the cumulated global PV installations have reached 0.5 TW. The predictions for annual PV production in 2030 differ from 300 GW (IEA), through 700 GW (Breyer “Electricity”) to 1400 GW (“Broad electrification”) [2] [3]. Renowned experts from research, academic and industry envision total PV installations of around 10 TW already by 2030 [4]. To reach this goal the annual growth rate must be at 30 % (calculated with linear growth). The annual production would be 0.6 TW in 2025 and 2.3 TW in 2030, respectively (Figure 1). Even with a smaller annual growth rate of 20% the annual production would still reach 0.9 TW in 2030 (Figure 2). P. Verlinden postulates an annual PV production of 2 TW from 2030 on in order to reach the climate goals [5]. Currently 2000 tons of silver are consumed for solar cell production, assuming 100 mg paste lay-down, 5 Wp per cell and 100 GW annual production. In 2019 already 10% of the entire world silver supply were consumed for the PV sector, for production slightly above 100 GW. [6] Considering only the smaller annual growth scenario (20%) and a strongly reduced silver consumption per cell (50 mg), the silver demand for PV would still amount to at least 10 000 tons in 2030. The silver price has increased by more than 60% in the last months [7] and the replacement of silver becomes necessary for the industry. For PV production on terawatt scale also the replacement of rare elements like indium will be required to avoid material supply issues. With our process sequence for electroplated copper metallization high efficiency has been demonstrated on industrial heterojunction cells and excellent module stability confirmed in extended aging tests. The initial process compatible with ITO has been modified for cells with an aluminum zinc oxide (AZO) electrode and we present the first results of silver- and indium-free heterojunction solar cells.

Telling quantum DoQs and quantum Qats apart Team Quant'ronauts Idea: we classify regions of the Hilbert space, of quantum states of n qubits. There are 2 categories, "Qat" and "DoQ". As an example, for n=1, one hemisphere of the Bloch sphere could be labelled "Qat", the other hemisphere "DoQ". The state vectors to classify are generated as the output of a sensor, which is then fed into a classifier circuit of M layers. Note that we are NOT classifying the classical params vector of the sensor, as we could use any other sensor with different parameterization as long as it's capable of producing Qat and DoQ states. Also, we take the sensor as is, we don't try to "optimize" it. Catch: during operation, the sensor can only produce its output once. Thus, when we calculate the accuracy on the test set, we are not allowed to make use of expected values resulting from many shots. There is only 1 shot (in the training phase, we can optimize using expected values, as training is done in our laboratory where we can recreate the sensor outputs of the training set at will). We'd like to experiment how much the accuracy drops due to this 1shot limitation, whether it's different using simulator vs real quantum hardware, and what kind of cost function would reduce this impact. Extra: if multiple shots are allowed, how much would a data reuploading scheme improve the accuracy? E.g. imagine there are M identical sensors located very close to each other. When a certain physical event happens, it sets all the parameters of the M sensors at once, identically for each sensor. Then, the parameters don't change until the next event. Furthermore, there may be exponentially many parameters of the sensor, inaccessible to us. So again, we are classifying quantum states. Michaël Rollin Sahar Ben Rached Tamás Varga Laurent Querella Alain Chancé Step 1  Set up the sensor: We create a 1qubit sensor that produces Qat and DoQ states. The eastern hemisphere of the Bloch sphere corresponds to the “Qat” region, and the western hemisphere to “DoQ”. 0: ──RX(sensor_theta_x)──RY(sensor_theta_y)──... Step 2  Classifier: We feed the sensor's output into a 1qubit classifier circuit that consists of 3 parameterized gates, RX, RY, and RZ, and then apply a PauliZ measurement ...──RX(classifier_theta_x)──RY(classifier_theta_y)──RZ(classifier_theta_z)──┤ Z

Electricity Usage Proﬁle Disaggregation of Hourly Smart Meter Data Bochao Zhao, Lina Stankovic, and Vladimir Stankovic Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, G1 1XW, UK Email: {b.zhao, lina.stankovic, vladimir.stankovic}@strath.ac.uk Abstract—This paper is motivated by the growing demand of disaggregating electricity consumption measured by smart meters, down to appliance level. The very low 15-min to 60- min granularity of energy measurements available for analysis, as is standard by the majority of nationwide smart metering programmes, is posing serious challenges. The non-intrusive load monitoring (NILM) solutions for these very low data rates cannot leverage on low (1-60sec) to high rates (in the order of kHz to MHz) NILM approaches, and so far have not received much attention in the literature. In this paper, we propose a novel electricity proﬁle hourly disaggregation of energy consumed (kWh) based on K-nearest neighbours (K-NN), that relies on features such as statistical measures of the energy signal, time usage proﬁle of appliances and reactive power consumption (if available). We propose relative standard deviation as a metric to assess the quality of each feature per appliance. For validation, three publicly accessible real-world datasets are used, namely the REDD, REFIT and AMPds (Version 2), for up to 3 months. I. INTRODUCTION Non-intrusive load monitoring (NILM) is deﬁned as esti- mating individual appliance energy usage from smart meter readings (e.g., voltage, current, power) of a whole household using purely software tools [1]. Though various machine learning methods including Hidden Markov Model (HMM) and its variants, Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) [2], K-nearest neighbours (K-NN) [3]-[5], sparse coding [6], Neural Network [7] and Graph Signal Processing [8] have been applied to the NILM problem, most approaches focus on either high sampling rates in the order of kHz or MHz or sampling rates between 1sec and 1min. Disaggregation in these cases is usually performed via feature extraction and state transition modelling on active and/or reactive power data. Very low-rate (10-60 mins) NILM is slowly gaining interest [3]-[6], [9], [10] since electricity meters deployed at scale in most countries tend to provide extremely low-rate measurements, at 15, 30 minutes or hourly granularity. Compared with power measure- ments of higher granularity, the energy consumption signal at very low granularity features limited state transitions, fewer low-consuming appliances’ feature patterns and much higher probability of multiple appliances running simultaneously. Thus, lack of well-known features and increased appliance noise make very low NILM a challenging problem [4], which can be looked at as electricity usage proﬁle disaggregation, since the input is the total energy use within ﬁxed time intervals (e.g., in kiloWatt-hour), instead of active/reactive power readings collected at relatively high frequency in Watts or VArs. Sparse coding is proposed for hourly measurements in [6], where appliance models built from weekly typical training sets are used to predict appliance-level power consumption for unseen houses. Plug-level disaggregation results for hourly power consumption data is shown in [6] but the aggregate power consumption used is artiﬁcially obtained as the sum of sub-metered components disregarding measurement noise and noise due to unknown appliances, typically present in aggregate smart meter data. In [9], piecewise functions of power consumption versus external temperature per house are modelled for hourly disaggregation of base-load, heating and cooling consumption but not speciﬁc to any appliances. Sim- ilarly, appliance-level disaggregation results are not demon- strated in [10], where contextual supervision is applied to the single-channel source separation problem for overall heating, cooling and base load.

Are peer review duration and publication delay research quality signals? Paul Donner* *donner@dzhw.eu ORCID: 0000-0001-5737-8483 Department 2 Research System and Science Dynamics, German Centre for Higher Education Research and Science Studies (DZHW), Germany Here we study how the lengths of the periods from submission to acceptance (review duration) and from acceptance to publication (publication delay) relate to research quality, as operationalized by F1000Prime recommendations, for a large dataset of publications from the life and health sciences. We find a statistically detectable relationship between shorter peer review duration and recommendations, but its effect size is negligibly small. 1. Introduction It has long been one of the central methodological concerns of scientometrics to get as close as possible to measuring the construct of research quality with data from the scientific communication system. Using citation counts and derived measures for quantifying scientific impact is the major operationalization of this approach, which is commonly justified on the grounds that citation counts have been found to co-vary to some degree with quality judgments (Aksnes, Piro, & Fossum, 2023; Allen et al., 2009). However, many other factors besides research quality, including social and strategic motivations, also induce authors to cite specific references (Beck et al. 2018; Brooks, 1986). Citation counts may not be the only bibliometrically accessible data that carry some signal of research quality. High quality papers might be recognized in the submission and review process and be treated differently than lower quality papers. If reviewers perceive high manuscript quality they might be motivated to finish their reviews sooner to speed up the dissemination of important findings and because they enjoy engaging with intellectually stimulating research. In addition, papers of high quality might from the outset have less flaws that need to be revised, which would also shorten review duration. Similarly, editors might prioritize papers they assess as being of higher quality and importance. On the other hand, it is possible that unusually important or unconventional papers are scrutinized more carefully and critically, perhaps because of their more controversial claims or greater societal implications, which would lead to longer review durations. Some indirect support for the first hypothesis comes from studies of the relationship of peer review duration and citation impact. Kousha & Thelwall (2022), for instance, found some evidence that, within journals, Covid-19 papers with shorter review durations were associated with higher citation impact. This was not the case for comparable papers on other topics. Shen et al. (2015) studied ‘editorial delay’ (time from submission to acceptance) and citation counts for papers in three highly visible journals. They found some significant correlations for some journal-year combinations but no overall convincing statistical signal. Rigby, Cox, & Julian (2018) analyzed associations between various peer review variables and citation counts for one

SYNTHESIS, SPECTRAL AND ANTIMICROBIAL PROPERTIES OF BINUCLEAR COMPLEXES OF COPPER SCHIFF BASE WITH ALKALI METALS Chandan Kumar, Rabindra Kumar Deo Department of Chemistry, S.P. College, S.K.M. University, Dumka-814101, Jharkhand, India Introduction Schiff base posses strong ability to form metal complexes and they deserve a proper attention because of their biological properties. Binucleating Schiff bases have been extensively used for the preparation of homo and heterobinuclear complexes [1,2]. Schiff base complexes show biological activities and they have been found antibacterial [3] and antifungal [4] activities. Schiff base and the relevant transition metal complexes are still found to be of great interest in the inorganic chemistry. Binuclear complexes, in which ligand structures capable to holding two metal centers in close proximity, one of the metal is transition metal and other one is alkali metal. In the continuation of earlier work [5,6] we report here the synthesis and characterizations of heterobinuclear alkali metal complexes of CuII. Synthesis The Schiff base of OHAP and 1,2-propylenediamine were prepared by the refluxing these in 2:1 molar proportion respectively in ethanol for 10 min. The yellow Schiff base was filtered off, washed with ethanol and dried. An ethanolic solution of copper acetate hydrate (2.0g) added slowly with stirring to a hot solution of the Schiff base (3.1g). The solution, upon cooling, deposited purple copper complex which was filtered off, washed with ethanol and dried. Heterobinuclear complexes containing Cu(II) metal and alkali metal: N,N′-1,2-propylene-bis(2-hydroxyacetophenoniminato)copper(II) [CuPA] was taken in absolute alcohol in a conical flask and alkali metal salts of o-nitrophenol, dinitrophenol, trinitrophenol or were added to it in 1:1 molar proportion. The mixture was refluxed with stirring for 1-1½ hours. The characteristic colour adducts were precipitated in hot condition, which was filtered, washed with absolute ethanol, dried.

Recent studies [2,3] on the mineral chemistry and geochemical signature of aerosols sampled at ground level and along vertical profiles at the scientific base of Ny-Ålesund, Svalbard Islands (78°55′30″N 11°55′20″E), have shown a significant contribution of biomass burning forest fire on this area especially in summertime when the prevailing northern circulation is able to transport wildland fire emissions far from their sources located in North America and Eurasia tundra regions. A strong advection event of biomass burning aerosol from Alaska affected Ny-Ålesund in the mid of July, 2015 (see Figure 1). Figure 1 - Hourly back trajectories (blue lines) ending in Ny Alesund (Svalbard Islands) on 10-12 July 2015. Fire spots are indicated by red circles (source: NASA-FIRMS, Fire Information for Resource Management System). The event was exceptionally intense as it extended in the troposphere over of the Arctic region for a long period of time with well documented direct effects on the regional radiative budget and weather forecast. For these reasons it was the subject of a complete characterization research project based on a combined multidisciplinary approach. This preliminary contribution is focused on the


— 734 743 Celebration & Contemplation, 10th International Conference on Design & Emotion 27 — 30 September 2016, Amsterdam Introduction Synopsis BY a simple process of designing a notional T-shirt every day for a 28-day period, individuals and groups develop a mindfulness mindset regarding their emotion state of being, and the ability to deliberately engage in an emotion that is experience-enhancing and of positive affect. For the record THE Emo-TTM Global Wall is an education and practice in cognitive appraisal1 and positive emotion leading to overall positive affect. THE term positive affect refers to the longer-term experience of an internal feeling-state of joy, interest, wellbeing, confidence, high self-esteem, and other similar mood states. WHILST the psychology and neuroscience research communities work through the nitty-gritty of experiment design, participant variables, reliability, and all the other demands of disciplined lab work, the emerging research findings are consistent: Frequent positive affect – i.e. being happy – engenders success across multiple life domains, including marriage, friendship, income, work performance, and health. (Lyubormirsky, King and Diener, 2005) Birth of the Emo-TTM Global Wall DOESN’T it stand to reason then, that developing the ability to feel positive is a life-enhancing experience? And, if we value the emerging findings regarding the positive affect - life success correlation, shouldn’t we be directing our focus toward the development of positive emotion in our being and responses? Abstract Human beings are emotional creatures. It’s logical therefore that a major aspect of design thinking, planning and development is geared toward provoking emotion, speculation, reflection, and influencing choices and actions. Rooted in the neuroscience of emotion, the Emo-TTM Global Wall is a project that flips the design-to-provoke-emotion concept, to emotion- inspired design. The aim is to stimulate, engage and activate the creative instinct whilst deliberately engaging with specific positive emotions. Simple but effective in design and instruction, children and adults engage with emotions they would like to experience, understand, or cultivate and develop. Having conjured a positive emotion with deliberate intent, they design a T-shirt that becomes a practice in mindfulness-related emotion processing. A 28-day participation period is recommended. It is our intention to build a global wall of a million Emo-Ts which will become a design portfolio that demonstrates the emotion- design loop and an artistic global platform for education and training of the future relating to development of personal emotion- architecture.

ctrl alt delete - Memory And Experience in The Design Process Brooke Trevitt Abstract ‘ctrl alt delete’ addresses the design process and presents a new approach to qualitative research methodologies which incorporates memory. It suggests a shutting down of computer systems ‘not responding’ during the design process and a movement towards human interaction, connection and empathy. It aims to enable designers to become more personally and emotionally informed in subjects out of their personal experience. Through research and experiment the benefits of utilising memory in qualitative research methodologies such as questionnaires, interviews and focus groups are evident. Subsequently I have created a model for the design process which specifically aims to connect the designer and participant through memory and experience, uniting the designer's creative ability with the participant's passion for the subject. The model is applied to an 11 step iterative process and tested using four separate design briefs. The first brief is used to test the validity of the model, each step being completed and carefully considered over a period of two months. Three live briefs are then used to test the model under more realistic time frames (1-3 weeks). Alterations are made to the model accommodating each separate brief showing its flexibility and ability to be implemented in the professional design industry.


Construindo um modelo de análise da TI Verde O impacto da ti e seu papel na sustentabilidade ambiental estão envolvendo aspectos referentes a sustentabilidade onde também incorporam os sistemas de informação no contexto de sustentabilidade, onde estão sendo desenvolvidos novas teorias para compreender essa questão. As organizações estão trabalhando com a preocupação de consumir os recursos disponibilizados de maneira a garantir que os ecossistemas possam se manter na sua capacidade de resiliência. A TI verde incorpora o conceito de aspecto ambiental e sustentável no que se diz a respeito de eficiência energética. Para que as empresas e organizações implementem o uso da TI verde e necessário que se planeje e invista em infraestrutura tecnológica para que sirva para as necessidades e consiga reserva recursos ou seja o não desperdício. Com a inclusão da TI empresas ou organizações iram possibilitar a inclusão a análise para torna-se a mesma mais ambientalmente possível extraindo de todas as áreas tanto da empresa como da organização melhorias para o uso correto de recurso levando s ao não desperdício A tecnologia da informação verde como um tópico de interesse na área de SI A TI verde nada mais e que o estudo e pratica de projetar, fabricar, usar e descartar computadores, servidores e subsistemas associados à parte eletrônica como monitores, impressoras, dispositivos de comunicação, de rede e de armazenamento de forma eficiente e eficaz com o mínimo de impacto para o meio ambiente também visando a viabilidade ou seja não gastando tanto dinheiro em equipamentos que não iram ser usados o que podem ser comprados além da conta gastando assim os recursos financeiros que podem ser disponibilizados para a compra ou talvez melhorias em outros setores seja da empresa ou organizações. Ao se utilizar a visão técnica da TI verde existem duas formas de se classificar: a primeira delas mudar os processos e práticas da TI verde na infraestrutura e a segunda e inserir processos de negócios ambientalmente favoráveis nas organizações reduzindo os impactos. O uso da TI verde pode trazer resultados mas será necessário que as empresas e organizações estejam cientes da necessidade de abordagem da sustentabilidade ambiental de forma mais proativa onde será necessário deixar todos componentes cientes dos benefícios que a implantação da TI verde pode trazer em questão sustentabilidade ambiental, e também exercer praticas mais sustentáveis na organização.

Page | 1 Geometric Features Point-Voxel CNN on Aerial Lidar Data Fauzy Othman*1, Phil Bartie†2 1 PETRONAS, Malaysia 2 Heriot-Watt University, UK GISRUK 2023 Summary This research uses PVCNN as a method to classify objects directly in 3D point clouds sourced from lidar, resulting in each point being attributed with a class label (e.g. powerline, roof). The ISPRS Vaihingen 3D semantic dataset was used for training and testing purposes. In addition to xyz point coordinates, geometric properties were calculated from the point cloud and added as attributes, used in training and inference. Four trials were undertaken to compare performances, based on F1-scores, using different combinations of engineered features (eg xyz+linearity; xyz+planarity). Surprisingly linearity was less useful than planarity in assisting the classification process even with linear powerline features. The method shows promise for its processing times on low powered GPUs. Future work will explore the impact on classification performance with additional engineered features, height above ground values per point, and adapt the spatial clustering algorithms used. KEYWORDS: deep learning, fusion, aerial, classification, segmentation 1. Introduction This research explores the use of feature level fusion techniques on aerial lidar data, between voxel- based and multi-layer perceptron methods using Point-Voxel CNN (PVCNN) developed by Liu et al. (2019). PVCNN has its merits in terms of low latency and a low overhead of Dynamic Random Access Memory. The original work was focused on indoor objects and road vehicle datasets and this work extends its use in applying it to outdoor lidar. In addition, the research examines the impact of calculating additional geometric attributes related to the point clouds, and their impact on object classification performance. This study uses ISPRS Vaihingen 3D semantic dataset by Niemeyer, Rottensteiner and Soergel (2014) for training and inferencing, so performance can be compared with prior works. The broader goal of this research is to develop deep learning methods specifically for application in the energy industry, where the interest is detection of human-made objects such as pipelines, powerlines and other industrial infrastructure. Notably these human-made objects are geometrical in nature. Therefore, this study examines the use of calculating geometric features such as linearity, planarity, sphericity improve object classifications. Using data from the work by Niemeyer, Rottensteiner and Soergel (2014), objects such as powerline, car, roof and façade are taken as the proxy for general industrial objects of interest. Intuitively, linearity is expected to improve predicted segmentation accuracy for objects such as powerlines. Similarly, planarity is expected to improve predicted segmentation accuracy of objects such as façades or roofs. *fauzyomar@petronas.com † phil.bartie@hw.ac.uk


— 754 761 Celebration & Contemplation, 10th International Conference on Design & Emotion 27 — 30 September 2016, Amsterdam Introduction There are more and more complex challenges in our society today. Requiring companies to constantly adapt and change. According to Brown, Harris & Russel (2010) we are not always able to deal with these challenges because of 1) their complexity; there’s no single person, department or company that can solve them, 2) the compartmentalization of knowledge; experts have knowledge related to part of the problem, but the overview is missing and 3) the lack of communication between companies, departments, professionals and policy makers. Simply put, because the challenges are too complex to solve within department or company boundaries we need to go beyond them and work together. It is key for all stakeholders to come together and use their collective intelligence to work on a challenge otherwise the change won’t succeed. Of course whether it is a departmental, divisional or organizational change, it is always individuals who are on the receiving end. They will ultimately cause the change to be a success or a failure (Cameron, Green 2015). Or as Kotter puts it ‘without motivation people won’t help and the effort goes nowhere’ Kotter (2012). Designers have shown to be capable of bringing stakeholders together in co-design and co-creation (Cross 2007). We believe designers can also bring together stakeholders in organizational change projects and can even go beyond that in directing the change process itself. Tim Brown recently named ‘involving stakeholders’ as the biggest challenge for designers today (Brown 2015). He even argued that the interventions that the designers designed to get a new service or product design integrated into the status quo is more critical to success than the design itself. Also, FastCompany named ‘interventionist’ as one of the future design roles. Which they described as: experts in facilitating creative conversations (Fastcodesign,2016). All of which, we think, is part of a designer role to assist in organizational change. This design case is a first effort to explore how we can include all in an organizational change and what the role of a designer can be in this process. When we talk about the role of the designers in organizational change, we do mean a specific part of the change effort. We think designers can be of great help right after the change effort has started up onto the point where there is enough momentum in the organization to drive the change effort themselves. (see Figure 2) We use ‘workshop design’ and workshop(s) to work towards the momentum (see Figure 1) To illustrate the role of designers in organizational change, we use an example of one workshop. Below some background information, to put the example into context. Abstract There are more and more complex challenges in our society today. Requiring companies to constantly adapt and change. Because the challenges are too complex to solve within department or company boundaries we need to go beyond them. It is key for all stakeholders to come together on a challenge otherwise the change won’t succeed. Or as Kotter puts it ‘without motivation people won’t help and the effort goes nowhere’ Kotter (2012). Designers have shown to be capable of bringing stakeholders together in co-design and co-creation. We believe they can also bring together stakeholders in organizational change projects and can even go beyond that in directing the change process itself. This design case is a first effort to explore how we can include all in an organizational change and what the role of a designer can be in this process.

1 Scratch Detection in Optical Elements Using Digital Holography Sonia Verma1, 2, Subhra S Sarma1, 3 and Rajkumar1* 1CSIR- Central Scientific Instruments Organization, Chandigarh-160030, India 2 Department of Applied Physics, Guru Jambheshwar University of Science and Technology, Hisar-125001, Haryana, India 3Assam Don Bosco University, Guwahati-781017, Assam, India *Email: raj_csio@yahoo.com Abstract— There are various applications including space, biomedical etc. which put stringent conditions on precision optical components. Thus, it becomes important to develop efficient techniques for testing of these components in a non-contact manner. Optical testing methods fulfill these requirements. Here we report use of digital holography for detection of scratches in optical elements. A hologram of the wavefront generated by the test element having a crack is recorded digitally. Subsequent numerical reconstruction of recorded hologram allows detection of the scratch. Further image processing is performed on reconstructed image to improve visibility of the scratches. Keywords—digital holography, scratch detection, image processing. 1. INTRODUCTION In imaging the surfaces of optics used should be preciously made, finished and handled. Even a minute scratch or crack in the optics will generate noise signal by scattering the incident light and thereby may severely affect the results. The scattered light can generate troublesome ghost interference patterns. Thus, it becomes imperative to keep the optics, scratch and dust free, for obtaining accurate results. Defects could be a minute scratch, dust particles, irregularity in periodic pattern of semiconductor wafer etc. Various methods were employed to detect these defects and are basically divided into two categories i.e. optical techniques and digital techniques [1, 2]. In digital techniques the pixel information is compared with one another in image plane but in this one cannot do parallel processing while in case of optical techniques, the subject information is manipulated using lens system. Over the time, various methods have also been developed for optical inspection [2, 3]. Although, optical techniques process whole subject at same time but these are complex and expensive. To overcome these disadvantages, optical and digital methods have been combined in single setup [4]. The digital holography is one of the important methods for non-destructively testing/inspecting the large area in parallel processing. Some of the previously reported holographic techniques for this purpose are conventional and use photographic plate to capture the information of subject and thus are time consuming [5, 6]. Digital holography does not require chemical processing after recording of hologram thereby allows faster reconstruction of recorded holograms [7, 8]. Further use of numerically generated reference wave for reconstructing hologram avoids errors which may be present in optically generated reference beam. Considering these advantages here, we report use of digital holography for detection of scratches in optical elements. 2. THEORY Dennis Gabor first introduced holographic method in 1948 to capture an object along with its depth of focus. He used in-line arrangement for recording the hologram. But that arrangement was not useful because the two images produced during reconstruction overlap. Then E. Leith and J. Upatnieks introduced off-axis holography in 1962 in which there is some angle between reference wave and object wave. This off- axis holography has advantage of not having overlapped reconstructed images. These methods initially done by the use of photographic plate to record the interference pattern of reference wave and object wave. This conventional method is time consuming, require perfect dark room, and expensive. Numerical hologram reconstruction was initiated by Yaroslavskii in 1970s in which the digitized ‘conventional’ holograms were reconstructed numerically. After that the devel

1 musicWALK Tunes from your walking experience Chit Meng Cheong*, 1, Ammar Halabi*, 2, Varun Khanduja*, 3, Xiying Wang*, 4 * Indiana University Bloomington, School of Informatics and Computing Bloomington, IN, 47408 USA, 1 chcheong@indiana.edu, 2 ahalabi@indiana.edu,3 varkhand@indiana.edu, 4 wangxiy@indiana.edu Abstract: Despite various benefits of walking, some people still lack the motivation. In this paper, we present musicWALK - an interactive musical application that aims at enhancing the walking experience. musicWALK generates music by collecting data relevant to personal walking pattern and to the surrounding environment. By allowing people to listen to interactive music generated along their walks, we aid them to establish a stronger connection with their surroundings. We hope that this will provide a stronger motivation for walking. Keywords: walking, interactive music, experience, interaction design 1. Introduction Walking, considered as a form of physical activity, plays a fundamental role in everyday life. The advantages of walking are felt not only at a personal level, but also at the level of the community as a whole, in fields as diverse as general health, commuting and environmental sustainability [1]. Increasing health problems can be attributed to the lack of walking. The US Department of Transportation Report reported a decline in the number of people walking to work from 4.1% to 2.8% from 1977 to 2001 [2]. As we attempt to encourage walking, we must recognize that we are dealing with a problem of behavioral change. The task therefore requires introducing appropriate change in environments where people are situated [3]. Determining the location, timing, and nature of such change is a complex problem since we are dealing with the complexities of day-to-day human interactions. Multiple disciplines have therefore attempted to address the promotion of walking including ergonomics, architecture and urban design, health and public policy [4,5,6]. 1.1 People, Walking, and Environment Environmental features play a primary role in shaping people's walking behavior [7,8]. Furthermore, walking is strongly associated with a subjective understanding of the surrounding environment and what it offers [9]. This shows that what people think about their surroundings is an important factor in shaping walking behavior. We believe that people's view about their surroundings is shaped by accumulative experiences that arise from continuous interaction within the environment. In our design we focused on enhancing the personal experience of walking by enhancing people's awareness of themselves and their surroundings. In particular, we chose interactive music as our medium to promote the walking experience. 1.2 People, Music, and Environment As we considered different approaches to promote the walking experience, music was of special interest. This was due to the close analogy we could draw between walking and music: they both involve continuous experiences and personal meaning associated with these experiences. We were therefore interested with the

Tradition, Innovation and Emotion: BMW Motorrad R Boxer Series Sinan Özgen, İTÜ, Department of Architecture – Türkiye Ceyda Vatan, İTÜ, Department of Industrial Product Design – Türkiye Abstract Within this paper the story of BMW R boxer series’ 80 years history will be presented. It will contain the design evolution, product life cycle, technological innovation compared to product-user emotional interaction. The history of BMW Motorrad is a success story which began with the development of the flat twin "Boxer" engine some 100 years ago and has progressed through to today's state-of-the-art technological innovations. The transformation of R series from engineering object to design subject can be clearly seen in its process. The melding of industrial and Teutonic art, the R's design will likely remain timeless (classical) in motorcycle design world. The product’s classical design will be discussed from the point of view of product and user emotional experience. The boxer's blend of curves and angles is classic "International style". This genre of design was developed at The Bauhaus, German school of industrial design. The International style was based on the fundamental principle that "art should meet the needs of society” and that no distinction should be made between industrial design and practical crafts. The user always remember the classical design of R boxer during the years even the design changes. This mentality of engineer experienced design is produced different kind of products compared to the other rivals. For the user, the R Boxer will never be "out of style" since it was never designed to comply with contemporary standards of style. Instead, it uses timeless elements that can always be counted upon to inspire its owner to suit up and ride.

Beloved, Brother, Friend: Comparing Dumuzi Myths using Shallow Ontologies Franziska Pannach*, Theresa Blaschke** *Göttingen Centre for Digital Humanities, Germany **Marburg Center for Digital Culture and Infrastructure, Germany Dumuzi is presented in different ways in Near Eastern myths. He is described as wild bull or man, sometimes he is part of a dedicated family structure or a separated entity. This poster presents eigth different views on the Mesopotamian deity, modelled as minimal (or shallow) ontologies, used to compare Dumuzi’s diverse representations. The project was undertaken as part of the DFG Mythos- Research Group 2064 STRATA at the University of Göttingen. It is a combined effort from graduate students of the field of computater science and Ancient Near Eastern Studies. Focus of this project is the modelling of domain knowledge – the information that a written source gives us about the world it comes from, the belief systems, the characters of the narrative and their relations. This knowledge helps us to interpret the narratives surrounding Dumuzi. Large public data repositories and ontologies like Wikidata combine information about entities. They are a valuable resource for re-using knowledge that was gathered from different sources.1 However, for comparing myth-intrinsic information that is often contradictory, such large sources can be impractical. For instance, “Dumuzi is a shepherd.” is a statement that appears in some narratives, but not in others. If it appears, we can assume the axiom shepherd(Dumuzi) to be true with respect to that specific source. However, if another source does not contain the information, we cannot assume that the axiom is true or false. Especially contradictory information, e.g. whether or not an entity is a deity in one narrative and a mortal human being in another, is important information for comparing myth variants. Therefore, instead of combining information into a single ontology, this project focuses on constructing small ontologies for each myth variant and comparing them in a separate step.

Towards an Ontology for European Poetry María Luisa Díez Platas1, Helena Bermúdez1, Salvador Ros1, Elena González-Blanco2, Javier de la Rosa1, Álvaro Pérez1, Luciana Ayciriex 1 1Dep. Sistemas de Comunicación y Control-Laboratorio de Innovación en Humanidades Digitales (LINHD), (UNED). 2Coverwallet Introduction An ontology is a formal and explicit specification of a shared conceptualization (Studer, Benjamins, & Fensel, 1998). From the point of view of ontological engineering, this formalization defines an abstract model that structures the knowledge of a specific domain (agreed upon by experts and interpretable by a machine) from its concepts and relationships. With ontologies, shared and distributed knowledge can be managed in such a way as to allow the integration of information from different data sets (Davies, Fensel, & Harmelen, 2003). An expression of this feature is the DBpedia, which contains multiple links to other data sets such as Freebase and Geonames, among others. In this paper, we present the case of an ontology for the domain of European poetry. Given the fragmentary access to poetic resources (see González-Blanco & Selaf, 2014), an ontology, and more specifically an ontology network about European Poetry (EP), proposes a coherent and unambiguous semantic conceptualization of the domain. A shared conceptualization enables the integration of disparate poetic data sources belonging to different poetic traditions, overcoming well-known handicaps and idiosyncratic differences, such as the distinct organization of scholarship, or the heterogeneous bibliography. Methodology The starting point of the ontology construction was the analysis of different databases with contents related to one or more EP traditions.1 As a result of this process, we built a data model comprising 41 entities, 490 attributes, and 407 relations. In order to reduce some of the inherent complexity of the model, we decided to identify areas that could be organized within themselves. This allowed us to follow a modular design while ensuring higher cohesion and lower coupling of its modules. To this end, we extracted the ontological modules that represented each of these areas and that could form part of the ontologies of a network. Our goals were to make its structure 1 See Bermúdez et al. (2017) for more details about the resources analyzed and the methodology followed.

Many previous studies have focused on the detection/prediction of dyslexia. However, in the prediction process, there is often an imbalance in the dataset used (between patients with dyslexia and non-dyslexia). Therefore, we are trying to build a system using recurrent neural networks architectures that can quickly and accurately predict the possibility of a child having dyslexia. To overcome the data imbalance between dyslexics and non-dyslexics, we also apply the synthetic minority oversampling technique (SMOTE) method to the dataset. SMOTE will synthesize dyslexic data to balance the numbers with non-dyslexic data. This study used a dataset of 3640 participants (392 dyslexic and 3248 non-dyslexics). For the process of predicting dyslexia, several algorithms such as simple recurrent neural networks (RNN), long short term- memory (LSTM), and gate recurrent units (GRU) are used. As a result, there is an increase in prediction accuracy when SMOTE is applied (compared to without SMOTE) in the dyslexia forecasting process using RNN (92.68% for training and 91.16% for testing), LSTM (94.81% for training and 93.16% for testing), and GRU (96.43% for training and 92.24% for testing). Using SMOTE+RNN architecture in this research increased the accuracy of dyslexia prediction by up to 5% compared to without SMOTE.

INTRODUCTION Dyslexia (learning disorder) has become a problem that needs serious attention today. According to the International Dyslexia Association, the number of people with dyslexia ranges from 15-20% of the world’s population [1]. In Europe alone, people with dyslexia range from 5-12% (37.3-89.5 million people) of the entire European population [2], while in the United States, it is estimated that more than 35 million people have dyslexia even though only 2 million people are detected [3]. The Indonesian Dyslexia Association also states that around 5 million Indonesian children are indicated to have dyslexia [4]. The signs of someone with dyslexia have started to be seen since childhood [5]. It is characterized by reading abilities much lower than their age, difficulty processing and understanding what they hear, difficulty remembering the sequence of events and finding the right words or sentences to answer questions [6]. If dyslexia in children is not paid attention to, these habits will carry over into adulthood and cannot be changed. Therefore, early detection and treatment

— 642 650 Celebration & Contemplation, 10th International Conference on Design & Emotion 27 — 30 September 2016, Amsterdam Introduction Dementia is a syndrome that progressively affects cognitive functions such as communication, reasoning and memory, compromising the ability to perform daily tasks, and having an adverse impact on relationships. This work is part of a practice-based doctoral research that explores how design can enable people with dementia and their close social circle to develop personalised strategies communication, with a special focus on leisure and entertainment. Personalisation, used here as “designing or changing (something) for a particular person”(Merriam-Webster, 2016), is seen as a way of addressing the underlying diversity of the experiences of dementia and to provide opportunities for meaningful communication. In this research, people with dementia are invited to take part in the project, so their voices and their experiences are acknowledged throughout the process and in the results. In order to bridge the pronounced differences between the experience of people with dementia and the one of the designer, this research uses an approach based on empathy (Lindsay et al., 2012; Wallace et al., 2013). This approach is also deeply influenced by the person-centred care values, consisting of acknowledging everyone uniqueness as individuals independently of their age and ability, the effort to understand their perspective of the world, respecting and maintaining their personhood —a relational sense of self that is conferred by others¬ (Kitwood, 1997)— which is achieved by promoting vivid social environments and relationships, through meaningful communication (Brooker, 2007). These attitudes are crucial to ensure that the main psychological needs of people with dementia— comfort, attachment, inclusion, occupation and identity, and an overall need for love—are met (Brooker, 2007; Kitwood, 1997). Ethical concerns are present throughout the whole process so that participants’ needs are respected, and potentially paternalistic attitudes avoided (Cowdell, 2006). The preliminary phase of this research consisted of an observation-based study in two care institutions dealing with people with dementia, where the researcher assisted several activity sessions. The direct contact with several individuals with dementia, and the observation of how they engaged, participated and enjoyed these activity sessions, were essential to have a deeper understanding and develop empathy towards different experiences of living with this condition, leading to an enhanced sensibility and ethical awareness on how to work with this group of people (Figure 1). The observation and learning resultant from this first interaction were crucial to define the next steps of research, consisting of bringing together people with dementia and their social circle to codesign personalised strategies for communication. Three previously designed ludic artefacts (Figure 2) were used as a starting point to invite people to participate in this project. These artefacts were designed to be left open for personalisation so that content could be Abstract This pictorial shows the process of involving a lady with advanced dementia and her husband, her main carer, in a design project, and discusses its implications, namely the need of an open and flexible approach to participatory design and the difficulties of interpreting and evaluating non-verbal responses. This work is part of a practice-based doctoral research that explores how design can enable people with dementia and their close social circle to develop personalised strategies communication, with a special focus on leisure and entertainment.

- 1 - The role of societal resistance in transportation innovation Eleni Chalkia1, Beate Mueller2, Alain L’Hostis3 1CERTH, hchalkia@certh.gr 2 VDI/VDE Innovation und Technik GmbH, Beate.Mueller@vdivde-it.de 3 IFSTTAR, alain.lhostis@ifsttar.fr Abstract This paper focuses on the description of societal trends related to mobility and on the way that these trends can be perceived from the society, when implemented. This action represents the starting point of the European project Mobility4EU that focuses on creating an action plan for the coherent implementation of innovative transport and mobility solutions in Europe. In Mobility4EU we have defined a set of possible societal aspects that might lead to societal resistance to the implementation of the future transport megatrends that have been defined. This paper aims to highlight the possibility of societal resistance to a wider implementation of innovative transport solutions, related to foreseen megatrends for the 2030. In consequence the list has not the ambition to be comprehensive, but rather provide a first overview of the societal reaction to widespread diffusion of foreseen solutions. Keywords: Mobility, societal resistance, megatrend in transport. 1. Introduction Since the publication of the ‘Brundtland report’ in 1987 (Brundtland, 1987), there is a consensus that sustainable development is built around 3 axes: environment, economy and society. Additionally, global socio-economic and environmental megatrends are urging for a paradigm shift in mobility and transport that involves disruptive technologies and multimodal solutions. In all transport developments up to now, the environmental and economic aspects have been broadly viewed and researched. In contrast, the social aspects of sustainable transport, as well as their impacts, are often neglected and remain under-examined in comparison to economic and environmental ones. Thus, the social ramifications of transport developments are unclear and the social factors supporting unsustainable instead of sustainable transport are often forgotten. The Mobility4EU project aims at producing a roadmap for mobility in 2030, taking into account all modes of transport, as well as a multitude of societal drivers encompassing health, environment and climate protection, public safety and security, demographic change, urbanisation and globalisation, economic development, digitalisation and smart system integration. The overall objective, related also to the current paper, consists in linking present and future societal trends and needs to existing and emerging transport and mobility solutions and providing also possible societal barriers to their implementation. Since the main domain of study of the project is mobility and logistics, Mobility4EU has provided a comprehensive vision of societal drivers having an impact on mobility, aiming to


The 19th Cambridge Workshop on Cool Stars, Stellar Systems, and the Sun Edited by G. A. Feiden Relation between Brown Dwarfs and Exoplanets Lauren Melissa Flor Torres1, Roger Coziol1, Klauss-Peter Schröeder1, César A. Caretta1 and Dennis Jack1 1 Departamento de Astronomía, Universidad de Guanajuato, Guanajuato, México Abstract One of the most debated subjects in Astronomy since the discovery of exoplanets is how can we distinguish the most massive of such objects from very-low mass stars like Brown Dwarfs (BDs)? We have been looking for evidences of a diﬀerence in physical characteristics that could be related to diﬀerent formation processes. Using a new diagnostic diagram that compares the baryonic gravitational potential (BGP) with the distances from their host stars, we have classiﬁed a sample of 355 well- studied exoplanets according to their possible structures. We have then compared the exoplanets to a sample of 87 conﬁrmed BDs, identifying a range in BGP that could be common to both objects. By analyzing the mass-radius relations (MRR) of the exoplanets and BDs in those diﬀerent BGP ranges, we were able to distinguish diﬀerent characteristic behaviors. By comparing with models in the literature, our results suggest that BDs and massive exoplanets might have similar structures dominated by liquid metallic hydrogen (LMH). 1 Introduction The most accepted interpretation of Brown Dwarfs (BDs) is that they are failed stars (Cushing, 2014), because, although it is assumed they formed like stars, their masses are too small to permit the fusion of hydrogen in their nucleus. This characteristic allows to separate BDs from main sequence stars based on their masses: because a star must reach a crit- ical mass to be able to burn its hydrogen, which varies from 0.07 M⊙for solar metallicity to 0.09 M⊙for lower metal- licities (Burrows et al., 2001), any star with a mass < 70 MJ (where MJ is the mass of Jupiter) is a BD (Bate, 2006). However, determining a lower mass limit for a BD is more diﬃcult. In practice, the consensus to adopt the critical mass for the fusion of deuterium, which is around 13 MJ (Bate, 2006), is arbitrary, because theoretically the lowest mass a BD could have may be just a few MJ (Larson, 1969; Rees, 1976; Silk, 1977a,b; Boss, 1988). Interestingly, this mass is also typical of massive exoplanets, and, since there is no obvious upper-mass limit for an exoplanet, hence, persists the prob- lem of distinguishing between to two objects. In this poster, using a large sample of “well-studied” exo- planets, and comparing with a large sample of “conﬁrmed” BDs available in the literature, we probe a mass range com- mon to both classes of objects, looking for evidence of a dif- ference between their respective physical structures, as re- ﬂected by their mass-radius relations (hereafter MRRs). Our study concentrates on two questions: 1) At what mass boundary should we expect to see a variation in the MRR that would be consistent with a diﬀerence of structure be- tween exoplanets and BDs? 2) Is there a special intermedi- ate mass range where these two classes of objects are likely to overlap in mass? In particular, we propose a lower-mass limit for BDs based on the Self-Gravitating (SG) limit, which marks the moment the self-gravity of matter begins to aﬀect signiﬁcantly the structure of a body (Padmanabhan, 1993). In addition to the MRR, the distance of a planet from its host star could also reveal something about its formation pro- cess (Lissauer, 1993). For the exoplanets, this last parame- ter is fundamental to identify Hot Jupiters (Johnson, 2009), while for the BDs, this parameter can be used to test the “BD’s desert” hypothesis, which according to some authors (e.g., Grether & Lineweaver, 2006) might be related to diﬀer- ent formation processes for exoplanets and BDs. 2 Samples Our sample of exoplanets consists of 355 entries in the lat- est issue of the transiting planets catalog available at TEP- Cat1, and can be co

Low latency RDMA for High-Performance Computing on ARM platforms Pantelis Xirouchakis*, Panagiotis Peristerakis*, Michalis Gianioudis*,Antonis Psistakis*,Giorgos Kalokairinos* Nikos Chrysos*,Vassilis Papaefstathiou*,Manolis G.H. Katevenis* *Foundation for Research and Technology – Hellas (FORTH), Greece ABSTRACT In HPC, low latency communication between remote processes is crucial to application performance. InfiniBand networks can reduce the latency but require special and costly network interface cards, which are loosely coupled with CPU, thus needing to constantly re-pin pages. In this work we leverage the SMMU available in the Zynq Ultrascale+ MPSoC’s in order to perform user-level initiated zero-copy transfers in a cluster of 64-bit ARM-based nodes, achieving a 5x latency improvement over kernel- based solutions. KEYWORDS: Zynq Ultrascale+; Zero Copy RDMA; User-level RDMA; 1 Introduction Large HPC systems rely on efficient networks to interconnect a constantly increasing number of end-nodes. The distributed applications that run on them heavily depend on the latency and efficiency of the network. Ongoing research proposes to replace the expensive and power hungry, high-end servers of today with simpler micro servers in order to reduce the energy consumption and the system cost. These new systems give us the opportunity to redesign from scratch the network IO stack and to optimize it for low- overhead, high-speed communication. Along this direction, RDMA may be used in order to replace the traditional TCP/IP sockets. RDMA (remote direct memory access) enables a process to directly write data to a remote process' address space. User-level initiation of RDMA transfers eliminates the kernel involvement in the transfer, dramatically reducing initiation latency[1]. In InfiniBand networks, RDMA transfers rely on intelligent Network Interface Cards (NICs) that host a copy of processes page tables in order to translate the virtual address of incoming, thus allowing the NIC to copy data directly to user space[2]. However, these NICs are connected to the host memory through a PCI bus, making difficult to keep the NIC page table coherent with the MMU page table. Effectively, the RDMA memory pages have to be “pinned” to memory, in order to keep the NIC table coherent with the MMU, and also because the NIC cannot handle page faults. On the other hand, the capacity of the NIC page table limits the number of pages that can be concurrently pinned, thus forcing the operating system or the runtime to constantly re-pin pages. Pinning pages into memory introduces a large latency penalty when it is done frequently.

Colistin Resistance Genes in Escherichia coli and Salmonella spp. Isolates from Pets, Wild and Food-producing Animals in Portugal, 2019-2021 Sofia Ribeiro1, Mariana Fontes1, Iuri Lopes1, Leonor Silveira1, Angela Pista1* 1National Institute of Health Doutor Ricardo Jorge (INSA), Department Infectious Diseases, Lisboa, Portugal *angela.pista@insa.min-saude.pt 04130 Antimicrobial resistance is one of the main threats to global health. The dissemination of mobile colistin resistance genes (mcr) is a major concern affecting humans, animals and the environment. Food-producing animals are considered the main reservoir of mcr genes. However, the role of wild animals and pets is less studied. Here, we investigate the mcr occurrence among wild animals, wild birds, food-producing animals and pets. Introduction • Between 2019-2021, a total of 613 faecal samples were obtained from wild animals, wild birds, food- producing animals and pets. • Isolation of E. coli and Salmonella was performed in selective and non-selective media (Fig. 1). • Virulence genes (eae, elt, estp, aggR, invE, stx1, stx2) of E. coli were identified by PCR and Salmonella were serotyped by slide agglutination method (Kauffman-White-Le Minor scheme). • The mcr 1-5 genes were screened by PCR in all isolates. • All pathogenic and mcr-positive isolates were submitted to whole-genome sequencing (WGS), using the Illumina platform. • Genomic analyses were performed through bioinformatics tools provided by the CGE. Methods Figure 1. Methodology for the isolation and characterization of E. coli and Salmonella in faeces.

Food Webs are one of a number of critical ecosystem functions believed to be important in sustaining patterns of diversity along with connectivity and nutrient cycling. Improved understanding of the influence of flow on food webs will enable better management of environmental flows within the Basin. Flow has three major functions in riverine systems; disturbance acting to influence community composition and dynamics, providing cues for major life-history events, and as an influence on energetics through transferring materials longitudinally along the river, laterally between the river and its margins, and vertically between the sediment and the water column. In the Murray-Darling Basin, the role of flow in disturbance dynamics and as a trigger of life histo- ry events is reasonably well known. What is much less clear is the role of flow in generating the resources that are needed to support the growth and survival of key life history stages in order to sustain breeding populations. There have now been numerous instances where bird breeding, for example, has been triggered by a flow event, but where the birds have either gathered and then not nested, or nested and failed to raise chicks to independence. Similarly, even where fish breeding is initiated by a flow event, we have limited evidence that the fish larvae have access to the food needed to allow them to grow to become adults. The food web theme has identified the relationship between environmental flows and the provi- sion of food resources across life stages of plants and animals to be a critical knowledge gap in the Murray Darling Basin. The purpose of the food-web theme is to improve our understanding of the effects of environ- mental flows on food webs that support waterbird and fish recruitment. In particular, the theme will focus on the base of the food web to clarify the source of organic matter that supports the production of food. The new knowledge generated will be incorporated into models that will improve manager’s ca- pacity to predict food web responses to flows in terms of the amount of food available to target species or life stages.

Keystone Symposia | Poster Abstracts Ubiquitin Biology and Disease (J6) Current as of December, 01, 2023 2-Deoxy-D-ribose induces ferroptosis in renal tubular epithelial cells via ubiquitin- proteasome system-mediated xCT protein degradation Koh, Gwanpyo Jeju National University Hospital Ferroptosis is a novel form of cell death triggered by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation. Recent ﬁndings suggest that inhibiting system χc- induces ferroptosis by reducing intracellular cystine levels, and that ferroptosis in renal tubular epithelial cells (RTECs) contributes to acute kidney injury (AKI) and diabetic nephropathy. Moreover, 2-deoxy-D-ribose (dRib) has been shown to inhibit cystine uptake through xCT, the functional unit of system χc-, in β-cells. This study aimed to investigate if dRib induces ferroptosis in RTECs and identify the underlying mechanisms. dRib treatment reduced cystine uptake and glutathione (GSH) content, and increased intracellular levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE), lipid reactive oxygen species (ROS), and cell death in both NRK-52E cells and primary cultured RTECs. However, treatment with inhibitors of ferroptosis, such as deferoxamine (DFO), ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1), and liproxstatin-1 (Lip-1), counteracted the eﬀects of dRib on GSH, MDA, 4-HNE, and lipid ROS levels, as well as cell death. Additionally, 2- mercaptoethanol (2-ME) treatment or xCT gene overexpression protected against dRib-induced changes. Moreover, transmission electron microscopy revealed dRib-induced mitochondrial shrinkage, decrease in cristae number, and outer membrane rupture. Furthermore, dRib treatment upregulated the expression of genes associated with ferroptosis, and downregulated xCT and GPX4 protein expression. The decrease in xCT protein caused by dRib was consistently observed even when treated with the protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide. However, treatment with the proteasome inhibitor MG132 reversed the dRib-induced decrease in xCT protein expression, but did not reverse the dRib-induced decrease in GPX4 protein expression. Additionally, dRib increased xCT protein ubiquitination. Additionally, dRib increased xCT protein ubiquitination. Overall, dRib induces ferroptosis in RTECs by degrading xCT protein through UPS, resulting in reduced intracellular cystine uptake. Therefore, targeting the regulation of system χc- through UPS could be a potential therapeutic approach for AKI and diabetic nephropathy. 1 A chemical biology tool kit to study the function of N-glycanase 1 (NGLY1)

Digital cable and satellite TV are providing people with an immense and growing variety of options for live and on-demand programming. In addition, emerging design, technology and media rights advancements in consumer electronics (CE) are also paving the way for new and innovative set- top boxes (STB) and TVs that bring internet content directly to the TV. While access to this vast array of media is appealing, it also has led (and will increasingly lead) to the alarmingly difficult task of finding personally relevant and desirable content while filtering out the „noise.‟ This paper introduces a novel concept of measuring and inferencing people‟s personality characteristics and emotions, based on their interactions with the TV remote control, in order to create personal, context-rich views into available media options.
