Abstract: In this paper, we present the surface modification of multilayer graphene neural electrodes with platinum (Pt) nanoparticles (NPs) using spark ablation. This method yields an individually selective local printing of NPs on an electrode surface at room temperature in a dry process. NP printing is performed as a post-process step to enhance the electrochemical characteristics of graphene electrodes. The NP-printed electrode shows significant improvements in impedance, charge storage capacity (CSC), and charge injection capacity (CIC), versus the equivalent electrodes without NPs. Specifically, electrodes with 40% NP surface density demonstrate 4.5 times lower impedance, 15 times higher CSC, and 4 times better CIC. Electrochemical stability, assessed via continuous cyclic voltammetry (CV) and voltage transient (VT) tests, indicated minimal deviations from the initial performance, while mechanical stability, assessed via ultrasonic vibration, is also improved after the NP printing. Importantly, NP surface densities up to 40% maintain the electrode optical transparency required for compatibility with optical imaging and optogenetics. These results demonstrate selective NP deposition and local modification of electrochemical properties in neural electrodes for the first time, enabling the cohabitation of graphene electrodes with different electrochemical and optical characteristics on the same substrate.

Abstract: Brain structure and function are intimately linked; however, this association remains poorly understood and the complexity of this relationship has remained understudied. Healthy aging is characterized by heterogenous levels of structural integrity changes that influence functional network dynamics. Here, we used the multilayer brain network analysis on structural (diffusion tensor imaging) and functional (magnetoencephalography) data from the Cam-CAN database. We found that the level of similarity of connectivity patterns between brain structure and function in the parietal and temporal regions (alpha frequency band) was associated with cognitive performance in healthy older individuals. These results highlight the impact of structural connectivity changes on the reorganisation of functional connectivity associated with the preservation of cognitive function, and provide a mechanistic understanding of the concepts of brain maintenance and compensation with aging. Investigation of the link between structure and function could thus represent a new marker of individual variability, and of pathological changes. Copy rights belong to original authors.

Host: James Hilliard Guest: Rhett Livengood, Director, Digital Business Enabling at Intel Today's digital work environment has elevated cyber security risks for organizations. It's no longer safe to only rely on software-based solutions. This podcast explores why we IT teams should adopt a “zero-trust” mindset and how you can equip your employees with the right tools, software, and training to help protect against costly cyberattacks. Show Notes: [1:00] PC security has evolved drastically since the pandemic. With remote and hybrid work environments the norm today, security risks are even greater. Data breaches are unfortunately more common and can cause detrimental impacts. In a recent report, the average financial loss is $4.2M per breach (IBM).  [3:36] We're in a zero-trust environment now. Companies should assume that employees and organizations are being attacked at all times. No links or external data can be trusted.  [5:00] VPNs are difficult to maintain and manage and are no longer an effective approach to protect employees. Adding more security software slows systems down and don't lead to a great user experience.  [6:30] Intel has looked at building security right into the hardware as a solution without slowing down PCs to better support remote and hybrid employees. [7:10] People are the weakest link when it comes to cyber security. Organizations should implement a recurring training program with reminders about multi-factor authentication, using unique and complex passwords, and paying attention to links. Phishing attacks are getting more sophisticated so highlighting what employees should look out for is key. [10:05] Security patches should be seamless while also considering employees' working hours. Offering the user scheduling options is ideal to minimize business interruptions.  [12:56] Security should be a holistic mindset. It requires consideration of the employee, technology, security threats, and training. Multilayer device protection should include software, application, and hardware. [15:40] When deploying PCs to employees, IT teams should be mindful about the software that is being loaded. Each program will impact PC performance which, in turn, impacts the employee experience. Work with a partner to effectively integrate software and systems for optimal protection and user experience.  [18:00] Protecting data involves encryption. Zero-trust applies here too. Nothing can be trusted. [20:15] Security assessments and audits continue to be in the forefront when it comes to balancing employees' needs and tools, various work environments, and organizational security protocols. [23:48] In the future, Artificial Intelligence will play a key role in automating security checks to help minimize user error.

Classics: We propose a new framework for estimating generative models via an adversarial process, in which we simultaneously train two models: a generative model G that captures the data distribution, and a discriminative model D that estimates the probability that a sample came from the training data rather than G. The training procedure for G is to maximize the probability of D making a mistake. This framework corresponds to a minimax two-player game. In the space of arbitrary functions G and D, a unique solution exists, with G recovering the training data distribution and D equal to 1/2 everywhere. In the case where G and D are defined by multilayer perceptrons, the entire system can be trained with backpropagation. There is no need for any Markov chains or unrolled approximate inference networks during either training or generation of samples. Experiments demonstrate the potential of the framework through qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the generated samples. 2014: I.

A. Abstract: Network analytic methods that are ubiquitous in other areas, such as systems neuroscience, have recently been used to test network theories in psychology, including intelligence research. The network or mutualism theory of intelligence proposes that the statistical associations among cognitive abilities (e.g. specific abilities such as vocabulary or memory) stem from causal relations among them throughout development. In this study, we used network models (specifically LASSO) of cognitive abilities and brain structural covariance (grey and white matter) to simultaneously model brain-behavior relationships essential for general intelligence in a large (behavioral, N=805; cortical volume, N=246; fractional anisotropy, N=165), developmental (ages 5-18) cohort of struggling learners (CALM). We found that mostly positive, small partial correlations pervade both our cognitive and neural networks. Moreover, calculating node centrality (absolute strength and bridge strength) and using two separate community detection algorithms (Walktrap and Clique Percolation), we found convergent evidence that subsets of both cognitive and neural nodes play an intermediary role between brain and behavior. We discuss implications and possible avenues for future studies. Copy rights belong to original authors. Visit the link for more info

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2020.11.09.374660v1?rss=1 Authors: Moehlin, J., Mollet, B., Colombo, B. M., Mendoza-Parra, M. A. Abstract: Developments on spatial transcriptomics (ST) are providing means to interrogate organ/tissue architecture from the angle of the gene programs defining their molecular complexity. However, computational methods to analyze ST data under-exploits the spatial signature retrieved within the maps. Inspired by contextual pixel classification strategies applied to image analysis, we have developed MULTILAYER, allowing to stratify ST maps into functionally-relevant molecular substructures. For it, MULTILAYER applies agglomerative clustering strategies within contiguous locally-defined transcriptomes (herein defined as gene expression elements or Gexels), combined with community detection methods for graph partitioning. MULTILAYER has been evaluated over multiple public ST data, including developmental tissues but also tumor biopsies. Its performance has been challenged for the processing of high-resolution ST maps and it has been used for an enhanced comparison of multiple public tissue biopsies issued from a cancerous prostate. MULTILAYER provides a digital perspective for the analysis of spatially-resolved transcriptomes and anticipates the application of contextual Gexel classification strategies for developing self-supervised molecular diagnostics solutions. Overall, the development of MULTILAYER anticipates the application of contextual Gexel classification strategies for developing self-supervised molecular diagnostics solutions.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2020.08.25.266072v1?rss=1 Authors: Watson, J., Schwartz, J.-M., Francavilla, C. Abstract: Mass spectrometry-based quantitative phosphoproteomics has become an essential approach in the study of cellular processes such as cell signaling. Commonly used methods to analyze phosphoproteomics datasets depend on generic, gene-centric annotations such as Gene Ontology terms and do not account for the function of a protein in a given phosphorylation state. Thus, analysis of phosphoproteomics data is hampered by a lack of phosphorylated site-specific annotations. Here, we propose a method that combines shotgun phosphoproteomics data, protein-protein interactions and functional annotations from ontologies or pathway databases into a heterogeneous multilayer network. Phosphorylation sites are then associated to potential functions using a random walk on heterogeneous network (RWHN) algorithm. We validated our approach using a dataset modelling the MAPK/ERK pathway and were able to associate differentially regulated sites on the same protein to their previously described functions. Random permutation analysis proved that these associations were not random and were determined by the network topology. We then applied the RWHN algorithm to two previously published datasets; the algorithm was able to reproduce the experimentally validated conclusions from the publications, and associate phosphorylation sites with both new and known functions based on their regulatory patterns. The approach described here provides a robust, phosphorylation site-centric method to analyzing phosphoproteomics data and identifying potential context-specific functions for sites with similar phosphorylation profiles.

Whether gallery work or public installations, Susan Hirsch’s Fire Fusion Studio in Southern California produces glass art that reflects the endless possibilities of her material and techniques. The artist’s signature line of fused and slumped glass sculpture features poetry, lyrics, or other messages embedded in multilayered patterns, textures, and finishes. She believes these words help viewers think differently and more deeply about the work than is possible when using color and form alone. Hirsch came to glass art from a fine arts education and a 30-year career in advertising and design. As a graphic designer familiar with Illustrator and Photoshop software, Hirsch does most of her design on a computer to give her clients a good representation of the final product. Designing in a vector program such as Illustrator makes on site client presentations possible and transfers smoothly to water jet, where computer aided design (CAD) software can read and cut intricate patterns. In 2012 at the Glass Craft & Bead Expo in Las Vegas, Nevada, Hirsch came across a booth for Rayzist, a leading manufacturer of photoresist films and sandcarving equipment. It occurred to her that glass fusers could benefit from Rayzist’s offerings. The following year she demonstrated techniques on glass in the company’s booth at Expo and has done so for the past four years. Hirsch also developed and markets workshops to teach other fusers how to use Rayzist products. Hirsch’s artwork falls into three distinct categories— ancestry work, gallery work, and public installations. Her aesthetic can be described as contemporary and minimalist, appealing to an exclusive group of contemporary art collectors. The artist makes extensive use of Rayzist masking in much of this work, as well as powder sifting, engraving, and enamel imagery to produce contrast and texture. With the freeform, fragmentary quality of memory, Hirsch’s ancestory work begins with the artist scanning historical family documents and photographs in Photoshop. Transparencies, somewhat like negatives, are developed creating a mask that is exposed to ultraviolet light and rinsed. Multilayer sandblasting using Rayzist photomasks permits the etching of tiny lettering and fine detail to create an historical context for ancestral pieces. Fire Fusion Studio also produces public artwork and installations including a series of fused trees that line a wall of a Kaiser Permanente facility – one of many Hirsch artworks commissioned by Kaiser. The artist recently produced 40 panels for another hospital that were etched with positive, peaceful, health-promoting sayings, created using Rayzist photomask and etching.    

Systemic risk in financial markets arises largely because of the interconnectedness of agents through financial contracts. We show that the systemic risk level of every agent in the system can be quantified by simple network measures. With actual central bank data for Austria and Mexico we are able to compute the expected systemic losses of an economy, a number that allows to estimate the cost of a crises. We can further show with real data that is possible to compute the systemic risk contribution of every single financial transaction to the financial system. We suggest an intelligent financial transaction tax that taxes the systemic risk contribution of all transactions. This tax provides an incentive for market participants to trade financial assets in a way that effectively restructures financial networks so that contagion events become impossible. With an agent based model we can demonstrate that this Systemic Risk Tax practically eliminates the network-component of systemic risk in a system. | Stefan Thurner ist Professor für Science of Complex Systems an der Medizinischen Universität Wien.

Soft robots do a lot of things well but they’re not exactly known for their speed. The artificial muscles that move soft robots, called actuators, tend to rely on hydraulics or pneumatics, which are slow to respond and difficult to store. Dielectric elastomers could offer an alternative to pneumatic actuators but they currently require complex and inefficient circuitry to deliver high voltage as well as rigid components to maintain their form— both of which defeat the purpose of a soft robot. Now, researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have developed a dielectric elastomer with a broad range of motion that requires relatively low voltage and no rigid components.

IBM and 3M have announced plans to jointly design adhesives that could enable the stacking of 100 chips, thereby enabling ultrafast processors.

Attosecond (as) physics has become a wide spreaded and still growing research field over the last decades. It allows for probing and controlling core- and outer shell electron dynamics with never before achieved temporal precision. High harmonic generation in gases in combination with advanced extreme ultraviolet (XUV ) optical components enable the generation of isolated attosecond pulses as required for absolute time measurements. But until recently, single attosecond pulse generation has been restricted to the energy range below 100 eV due to the availability of sources and attosecond optics. Multilayer mirrors are the up to date widest tunable optical components in the XUV and key components in attosecond physics from the outset. In this thesis, the design, fabrication and measurement of periodic and aperiodic XUV multilayer mirrors and their application in the generation and shaping of isolated attosecond pulses is presented. Two- and three material coatings based on a combination of molybdenum, silicon, boron carbide, lanthanum and scandium covering the complete spectral range between 30 and 200 eV are developed and characterized. Excellent agreement between reflectivity simulations and experiments is based on the highly stable ion beam sputter deposition technique. It allows for atomically smooth deposition and the realization of aperiodic multilayer structures with high precision and reproducibility. XUV reflectivity simulation of lanthanum containing multilayer coatings are based on an improved measured set of optical constants, introduced in this thesis. This work enabled the generation of the shortest ever measured isolated light pulses so far, the creation of the first isolated attosecond pulses above 100 eV , the first demonstration of absolute control of the “attochirp” by means of multilayer mirrors and the formation of spectrally cleaned attosecond pulses, in a spectral region which lacks appropriate filter materials, for a never before achieved combination of spectral and temporal resolution at 125 eV . Here presented concepts are in principle not restricted to specific energies or experimental set-ups and may be extended in the near future to enter completely new regimes of ultrashort physics.

Grazing incidence X-ray diffraction has been used to analyze in detail the atomic structure of the (2 × 1) reconstruction of the Ge(001) surface involving far reaching subsurface relaxations. Two kinds of disorder models, a statistical and a dynamical were taken into account for the data analysis, both indicating substantial disorder along the surface normal. This can only be correlated to asymmetric dimers. Considering a statistical disorder model assuming randomly oriented dimers the analysis of 13 symmetrically independent in-plane fractional order reflections and of four fractional order reciprocal lattice rods up to the maximum attainable momentum transfer qz = 3c* (c* = 1.77 × 10−1 Å−1) indicates the formation of asymmetric dimers characterized by R>D = 2.46(5) Å as compared to the bulk bonding length of R = 2.45 Å. The dimer height of Δ Z = 0.74(15) Å corresponds to a dimer buckling angle of 17(4)°. The data refinement using anisotropic thermal parameters leads to a bonding length of RD = 2.44(4) Å and to a large anisotropy of the root mean-square vibration amplitudes of the dimer atoms (u112) 1/2 = 0.25 Å, (u222)1/2 = 0.14 Å, (u332)1/2 = 0.50 Å). We have evidence for lateral and vertical disp tenth layer below the surface.

The reconstructed (1×2) structure formed by saturation of a Ni(110) surface with adsorbed H atoms at T

A new LEED intensity analysis of the reconstructed Au(110)-(1×2) surface results in a modification of the missing row model with considerable distortions which are at least three layers deep. The top layer spacing is contracted by about 20%, the second layer exhibits a lateral pairing displacement of 0.07 Å and the third layer is buckled by 0.24 Å. Distortions in deeper layers seem to be probable but have not been considered in this analysis. The inter-atomic distances in the distorted surface region show both an expansion and a contraction compared to the bulk value and range from 5% contraction to about 4% expansion.
