Heute bei Dr. Hart und Dr. Zart: Ein Känguru, das die ganze Zeit Sachen in die Luft jagt...

Hello Interactors,Our family took a trip to San Diego to visit friends. We got to spend some time in the warm Southern California water at a time when the news was filled with stories about sensational oceanic anomalies. Was the warm water we felt an anomaly? How certain could I be and how certain can anyone be about climatic statistical anomalies? Let's unpack it.BOOGIE WOOGIE FREAK OUTI felt the current sucking my legs out to sea as a wave formed behind me. I struggled to hurl myself, and my boogie board, toward the beach to meet the momentum of the rising wave. “KICK, KICK, KICK”, I yelled to my son who was next to me. Then came the welling and humbling sensation born out of the magnitude of a swelling ocean wave. As it crested a smile crossed my face and the force propelled me down the wave's sloping curve. I looked over and realized not only had my son caught the wave, but my daughter and wife had too. The whole family was giggling and kicking amidst the seafoam of an exhausted but rewarding wave.I'd forgotten how exhilarating boogie boarding is. I was first introduced to it when I lived in Hermosa Beach, California in the mid-eighties. I'm kicking myself for not learning to surf that year. I didn't even try until a few years later at the very beach we found ourselves boogie boarding – Moonlight Beach in Encinitas, California. I spent a summer working at a newspaper there in 1987 laying out ads on their newly purchased Mac SE alongside the art director and one full-time designer. They were both surfers and decided to take me out one day. I remember my shoulders being sore for a week from paddling. Let's just say I paddled more than I surfed.The water is relatively warm in San Diego which makes it a nice place to surf and boogie board. Not only is it the southern most major city in California and thus the warmest, it can also be the recipient of warm water flowing up the coast from Mexico. It was cloudy, cool, and a little rainy the day we were boogie boarding with friends making the water feel particularly warm. I wondered how much warmer the water there might be compared to when I was feebly attempting to stand on a surfboard for the first time. I wondered if climate change had demonstrably warmed the surface water after all these years.Ocean flow and temperatures have been all over the news in the last week or so. Take, for example, this ABC news story that was amplified by a post from John Gibbons, aka @thinkorswim, on that site we'll all continue to call Twitter. According to John's profile he likes to ‘freak out and speak out' on the ‘climate emergency' but warned he didn't want to sound ‘alarmist' when he shared a graph one scientist called ‘gobsmacking'.It's a chart of a set of standard deviations — the number of points a number falls above or below an average number. How much it deviates from an average. In this case the number represents the average extent ice has covered a particular area in the Antarctic Sea from 1989 to 2023 as compared to the average between the years 1991-2020.From 1989 to 2022 the number didn't deviate from the average much more than 3 or -3 standard deviations, but by June of 2023 it deviated well below -6, or ~6.4 standard deviations.It makes 2023 look like an exceptionally bad year thus far for a really important element of our climate system: sea ice. These sheets of ice play a significant role in how the Earth's climate behaves. For example, we know it affects how much sunlight is reflected into space (planetary albedo), how the atmosphere moves (atmospheric circulation), the productivity of ocean life, and how heat and salt circulate in the ocean (thermohaline circulation).Which gets us to another big piece of oceanic news this week; the fate of AMOC (pronounced “AY-mock). The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation is a large-scale ocean current system in the Atlantic Ocean and Danish scientists predicted it's flow will slow or even stall before the end of the century.Like polar ice sheets, AMOC is also a critical component of the Earth's climate system. It's responsible for transporting warm, salty water from the tropics to the northern latitudes and then returning cold, less salty water southward through currents deep in the ocean. This circulation pattern helps regulate the climate by redistributing heat while also influencing weather patterns across the North Atlantic region and beyond.One of the authors of the study, Susanne Ditlevsen, is a professor of statistics at the University of Copenhagen. She told the New York Times that “climate scientists generally agree that the Atlantic circulation will decline this century, but there's no consensus on whether it will stall out before 2100.” Given this, she was surprised they could predict the timing of a collapse.NUMBING NUMBERSShould we be shocked by statistics yielding whacky numbers or suspicious of the models that produce them? Some scientists are calling for scrutiny of climatic models, encouraging more nuanced discussion of these alarming predictions.While there is reason to be scared, we should not be scared to reason.‘Gobsmacking' numbers from scientists and mathematicians make for good click bait, and indeed can offer legitimate alarm bells, but they also can give the illusion of certainty and can distract us from all that remains uncertain, nuanced, or all together unknowable.This view was expressed by the climate scientist John Kennedy who scrutinizes the mythology of mathematical certainty and lionizes the phraseology of scientific humility. He called out the gobsmacked scientist ABC quoted about the ‘six-sigma event' in the Antarctic who was quoted as such,“To say unprecedented isn't strong enough,” Dr Doddridge said, “For those of you who are interested in statistics, this is a five-sigma event. So it's five standard deviations beyond the mean. Which means that if nothing had changed, we'd expect to see a winter like this about once every 7.5 million years. It's gobsmacking.”To show just how cautious we should be with these numbers, while Dr. Doddridge translated the standard deviations into a 1 in 7.5-million-year event, another math professor and climate watcher noted “6.4 standard deviations would correspond to odds of about 1-in-13,000,000,000 (1-in-13 billion).”Kennedy, who is decidedly not a climate denialist, also cautions that tracking ice extent in Antarctica has only been occurring for 45 years. This doesn't mean the once-in-the-lifetime-of-the-Earth's-existence event isn't happening, but that it's derived from a relatively miniscule time span. He suggests we might be better served to let people know that there is much more we don't know about trends of the ice extent around Antarctica than we do know. Furthermore, there isn't a scientist out there who will say what this all means, how it happened, and when it might happen again. For all we know, within the next few years we may see an equally anomalous event in the other direction. After all, Kennedy points out,“Up to around 2014, extent had been trending gradually upwards. Not by a huge amount, but it definitely wasn't dropping. It hit a record high in 2014. Then it dropped off a cliff. By 2017, it was record low. It bounced back to “normal” in 2020 and now we are where we are.He goes on to note the cautious language the IPCC uses to describe these changes.“In conclusion, the observed small increase in Antarctic sea ice extent during the satellite era is not generally captured by global climate models, and there is low confidence in attributing the causes of the change.“and“For Antarctic sea ice, there is no significant trend in satellite-observed sea ice area from 1979 to 2020 in both winter and summer, due to regionally opposing trends and large internal variability. Due to mismatches between model simulations and observations, combined with a lack of understanding of reasons for substantial inter-model spread, there is low confidence in model projections of future Antarctic sea ice changes, particularly at the regional level.“and“There remains low confidence in all aspects of Antarctic sea ice prior to the satellite era owing to a paucity of records that are highly regional in nature and often seemingly contradictory.”Kennedy concludes that,“My concern is that because Antarctic sea ice has suddenly dropped, a lot of people have forgotten what we don't know. This feeds into the alarmingly large, shonky, yet definitive-sounding numbers like one in 7.5 million years, which then get into headlines, and spread across social media like the clappers. When Antarctic sea ice inevitably does its next weird thing, everyone will suddenly remember what we don't know and that isn't, it must be said, a great look.”He's got a point.SEA ANOMOLIESSo, what of the warming waters of San Diego? Has the temperature demonstrably changed since I was swimming there 36 years ago? Like all ocean water, it is warming. However, on any given day it may be warmer or cooler relative to past years. It's this cyclical variability of complex systems coupled with spotty, uncertain, and incomplete data that makes predictions and smoking guns so hard to pin down.It's hard to tell what pattern is emerging from this chart dating back to 2000. The peak temperature in 2016 was due a record heat wave, but as you see it was followed up a year later with a significant drop. However, there were measurements in June that indicated “a weak El Niño was associated with above-average sea surface temperatures (SSTs) across the equatorial Pacific Ocean” as part of another oceanic circulation pattern known as the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO). So, it's possible these warm waters made their way to Encinitas. It's hard to tell.It's also possible ENSO is partially responsible for Antarctica's sea ice variability. Climate scientist Zack Labe writes that,“These patterns of climate variability modulate the transport of heat in the Southern Ocean, storm activity, and patterns of low-level surface winds – all of which significantly affect Antarctic sea ice (a lot more than air temperature does).”He continues,“If we see a dramatic change in the large-scale atmospheric circulation in the next few weeks/months, it is very possible that sea ice levels could return closer to average. This is good news, as it implies that we are not necessarily guaranteed to see another new minimum record at the end of next summer.”But Zack is one the of scientists John Kennedy praises for his humility and willingness to not have definitive answers no matter how attractive they may be to media outlets and their consumers. He writes,“…even though many scientists (including myself) are often responding with I don't know for why Antarctic sea ice is so low right now, we do know quite a bit. It's just that this is very complicated to disentangle so quickly, and there is no simple one-way causal factor to communicate. We have many clues, but scientists need more data and experiments to state their conclusions more confidently (“we” are cautious to avoid making sweeping conclusions by nature of training).Attributing the why is also very challenging in real-time, especially for understanding the role of climate change in the Antarctic. The normal scientific research process is so much longer than the media cycle. Studies just focusing on 2023's Antarctic sea ice levels, for instance, will likely be published for at least the next five years or more.”This much we do know: Antarctic sea ice has been gradually increasing over the past four decades, but there have been some record low levels of sea ice. As we're seeing now. These changes vary in different regions of Antarctica, with some areas experiencing more ice while others have seen decreases. Wind patterns play a significant role in driving these changes, but the observations are limited, and climate models still struggle to fully explain them.The annual growth and melting of Antarctic sea ice is a unique and regular phenomenon amidst the year-to-year variations. It plays a crucial role in the exchange between the atmosphere and the ocean, providing a habitat for the diverse ocean ecosystems. Including the habitats I was swimming in last week. Understanding and modeling these processes is essential given their significance but doing so is admittedly very tricky.The factors contributing to extreme sea ice events include both atmospheric and oceanic drivers. They're influenced by local changes within Antarctica and remote impacts from other regions like the Pacific Ocean. The combination of anomalous winds and upper ocean heat can lead to significant sea ice deviations and records at specific times. While predicting summer sea ice conditions based solely on the previous winter is challenging, changes in large-scale atmospheric circulation might bring sea ice levels closer to average, offering hope to avoid new minimum records.Researchers will obviously continue to study sea ice trends to better determine if it's driven by internal variability or unexpected responses to circulation trends in the Northern Hemisphere. But given all these anomalies and uncertainties, it's important to dig into reliable sources, seek knowledge of our complex ecosystems, and be cautious of, or avoid all together, unnecessary hype.It's a bit like trying to catch every wave you see. It can become exhausting, disappointing, and with time…depressing. But when you learn to read the ocean from experts, gain some experience, and have some patience, rewards – sometimes exhilarating – do come. This is a public episode.

 Continuing our focus on sustainable semiconductor manufacturing, in this episode Françoise speaks with Cédric Rolin, project manager at imec, about its Sustainable Semiconductor Technologies & Systems (SSTS) research program. Launched by imec in 2021, the SSTS rallies stakeholders from across the semiconductor industry to help reduce the ecological impact of the IC value chain.  In response to mounting concerns about climate change, tech companies around the world are accelerating efforts to complete carbon neutrality for their supply chains and products. The semiconductor industry recognizes its pivotal role in this endeavor. Studies show that almost 75 percent of mobile devices' CO2 emissions can be traced back to the underlying manufacturing process – with chip production being responsible for nearly half of that footprint. Against this backdrop, the SSTS program provides detailed information on the environmental impact of choices made during semiconductor technology's definition phase.  To date, SSTS has 15 member partners including Google, Amazon, Apple, Meta, and Microsoft; GlobalFoundries, TSMC, Samsung, and Rapidus; and equipment suppliers including Applied Materials, ASML, Edwards, Kurita, SCREEN, and Tokyo Electron. In this podcast, you'll learn the back story of the program, how it's structured, what role these companies play, how they developed a new data tool called imec.netzero, how the program will help companies achieve Net Zero Emissions, and more.   imec will be discussing this important topic further at its ITF Semicon USA, in a fireside chat with imec's  Emily Gallagher and SEMI's Mousumi Bhat.  Like what you hear?

Abstract: Time-frequency decomposition is a well-established method to unmix signals generated by multiple sources with unique characteristics. However, there are cases of high signal complexity where existing time-frequency decomposition tools are insufficient for localizing and representing short bursting signals. One example is the currently highly popular extracellular low-impedance recordings from multi-electrode arrays in the brain in vivo where each neuron repeatedly generates a specific signal fingerprint (characteristic spike waveform) that can be mixed with the signals of 100s of other sources, including the spikes of nearby neurons. Here we derive the singular superlet transform (SST) method, which enables highly localized representations of fast and short bursts compared to other super-resolution spectral estimators, while also requiring orders of magnitude fewer operations. We demonstrate a substantial edge of SST over current methods in isolating specific neuronal spikes with high fidelity in challenging, complex recording signals from neocortex in vivo. We also exemplify SSTs generic signal processing capability by achieving outstanding resolution in the decomposition of complex acoustic data. Copy rights belong to original authors.

Abstract: Visual processing is strongly influenced by context. Stimuli that deviate from contextual regularities elicit augmented responses in primary visual cortex (V1). These heightened responses, known as 'deviance detection', require both inhibition local to V1 and top-down modulation from higher areas of cortex. Here we investigated the spatiotemporal mechanisms by which these circuit elements interact to support deviance detection. Local field potential recordings in mice in anterior cingulate area (ACa) and V1 during a visual oddball paradigm showed that interregional synchrony peaks in the theta/alpha band (6-12 Hz). Two-photon imaging in V1 revealed that mainly pyramidal neurons exhibited deviance detection, while vasointestinal peptide-positive interneurons (VIPs) increased activity and somatostatin-positive interneurons (SSTs) decreased activity (adapted) to redundant stimuli (prior to deviants). Optogenetic drive of ACa-V1 inputs at 6-12 Hz activated V1-VIPs but inhibited V1-SSTs, mirroring the dynamics present during the oddball paradigm. Chemogenetic inhibition of VIP interneurons disrupted ACa-V1 synchrony and deviance detection responses in V1. These results outline spatiotemporal and interneuron-specific mechanisms of top-down modulation that support visual context processing. Copy rights belong to original authors.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2020.05.09.085795v1?rss=1 Authors: Nilsson, P., Sorgjerd, K., Kakiya, N., Sasaguri, H., Shimozawa, M., Tsubuki, S., Takamura, R., Zhou, Z., Loera-Valencia, R., Sekiguchi, M., Petrish, A., Schulz, S., Saito, T., Winblad, B., Saido, T. Abstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) brains are characterized by increased levels of the pathogenic amyloid beta (Abeta) peptide, which accumulates into extracellular plaques. Finding a way to lower Abeta levels is fundamental for the prevention and treatment of AD. Neprilysin is the major Abeta-degrading enzyme which is regulated by the neuropeptide somatostatin. Here we used a combination of in vitro and in vivo approaches to identify the subtype specificity of the five somatostatin receptors (SSTs) expressed in the brain, involved in the regulation of neprilysin. Using a battery of Sst double knockout (dKO) mice we show that neprilysin is regulated by SST1 and SST4 in a redundant manner. Sst1 and Sst4 dKO mice exhibit a specific decrease of presynaptic neprilysin in the Lacunosum molecular layer. Moreover, a genetic deficiency of Sst1 and Sst4 in amyloid beta precursor protein (App) knock-in mice, an AD mouse model, aggravates the Abeta pathology in the hippocampus. As a first proof of concept towards an Abeta-lowering strategy involving neprilysin, we demonstrate that treatment with an agonist selective for SST1 and SST4 ameliorates the Abeta pathology and improves cognition in the App knock-in AD mouse model.

En el episodio de hoy vamos a hablar de morosidad y de prácticas de fijación abusiva de los plazos de pago, sin duda un problema empresarial de primera magnitud, especialmente para las Pymes.En el ámbito de las obras públicas y servicios, en las relaciones comerciales entre proveedores y la distribución, o en el pago de los servicios de abogacía, muchos deudores que tienen poder de negociación encuentran en la cultura del retraso en el pago un cómodo sistema de financiación a costa de su contraparte, frecuentemente pequeñas y medianas empresas que se ven asfixiadas financieramente al tener que soportar pagos diferidos en el tiempo.Es verdad que tanto el legislador europeo como el español han dedicado importantes esfuerzos legislativos a establecer un nuevo régimen legal represor de la morosidad y los abusos de los plazos de pago, pero lo cierto es que los continuos cambios de la normativa no han ayudado a erradicar estas conductas.Por eso deben ser bienvenidas las SSTS de 23 de noviembre de 2016 y 19 de mayo de 2017, en las que el Tribunal Supremo ha sentado la doctrina de que esos aplazamientos son nulos de pleno derecho por ir en contra del art. 4 de la Ley de Morosidad y no pueden ampararse en la libertad contractual o las circunstancias del caso.NORMAS Y SENTENCIAS CITADAS EN EL EPISODIOSTS de 23 noviembre de 2016 (RJ 20165839)STS de 19 de mayo de 2017 (RJ 20172208).Ley 3/2004, de 29 de diciembre, por la que se establecen medidas de lucha contra la morosidad en las operaciones comerciales, que incorporó a nuestro ordenamiento la Directiva 2000/35/CE.

The climate of the stratosphere is known to be subject to long-term changes induced by anthropogenic emissions of long-lived greenhouse gases (GHGs) as well as by emissions of ozone depleting substances (primarily chlorofluorocarbons, CFCs). Enhanced concentrations of CFCs have led to strong ozone depletion over the last decades. Thanks to the Montreal Protocol and its amendments and adjustments, the stratospheric halogen loading is expected to retreat again in the future. Emissions of GHGs, on the other hand, are not yet controlled sufficiently, and concentrations of GHGs are projected to increase further in the future. The effects of enhanced GHG concentrations on the stratosphere include decreasing temperatures, as well as changes in the dynamical balances and interactions with the troposphere, and thus changes in the large-scale circulation. In particular, the stratospheric meridional circulation is projected to be subject to changes. These GHG-induced changes will also affect stratospheric ozone chemistry and transport of ozone. Therefore, the expected recovery of ozone due to decreasing CFC concentrations will coincide with alterations of the ozone layer by climate change. This study aims to diagnose and explain long-term changes in the stratospheric meridional circulation using the chemistry-climate model E39CA. The dynamical causes for these changes are identified, and the impact of changes in the meridional circulation on the future development of ozone is quantified. In a changing climate, the meridional circulation is found to strengthen in the tropical lower stratosphere. In particular, tropical upwelling in the lowermost stratosphere intensifies at a rate of about 3% per decade over the analysed period of 1960 to 2049. This enhanced upwelling is balanced by downwelling in the subtropics at latitudes around 20-40°N/S. The increase in tropical upwelling can be explained by stronger local forcing by large scale waves. It is shown that enhanced tropical upwelling is driven by processes induced by increases in tropical sea surface temperatures (SSTs). Higher tropical SSTs cause both a) a strengthening of the subtropical jets and b) modifications of deep convection, leading to changes in the strength and location of latent heat release. While the former (a) can modify wave propagation and dissipation, the latter (b) affects tropical wave generation. Evidence is presented that the dominating mechanism leading to enhanced vertical wave propagation into the lower stratosphere is an upward shift of the easterly shear zone due to the strengthening and upward and equatorward shifts of the subtropical jets. In addition to the increase in tropical upwelling caused by climate change, the changes in CFC concentrations also affect the dynamical forcing of the meridional circulation. The CFC-induced depletion of ozone in the past has led to changes in the background wind field in the southern hemisphere in summer, which cause enhanced wave propagation into the middle stratosphere and thus a strengthening of the meridional circulation. This effect is reversed in the future, when CFC concentrations decline. The future development of ozone is found to be dominated by changes in local chemistry in most regions of the stratosphere. Both decreasing CFC concentrations and stratospheric cooling due to enhanced GHG concentrations lead to less efficient ozone destruction, and thus increasing ozone concentrations. However, changes in transport of ozone due to the strengthening of the meridional circulation play an important role in the tropical lower stratosphere, where ozone concentrations decrease due to more export of ozone. Furthermore, it is found that the chemically induced positive ozone trend in southern high latitudes in the future is counteracted by decreased ozone transport from middle to high latitudes. This decrease in transport is due to the weakening of the meridional circulation in the southern hemisphere in summer, which, in turn, is induced by ozone changes.

Estimates of the ozone layer future evolution must consider both climate dependencies and interannual variability. These considerations imply analyses of transient-scenario realisations with chemistry-climate models (CCM) under realistic boundary conditions. In this context, investigations of ozone variability usually involve multiple regression analysis (MRA), a statistically efficient albeit complicated tool. However, a careful use of advanced regression approaches may improve the variability assessment considerably. The present study addresses climate dependencies in ozone transport, and adopts an advanced regression approach to both quantify deterministic ozone variability and trace it back to the scenario boundary conditions; the investigations refer to transient output of the CCM E39/C. Recent observations show a cooling of the tropical lower stratosphere, and CCMs suggest a spatial coincidence of the cooling with a stronger upward advection of ozone-poor tropospheric air. This advection increase appears to result from a currently unexplained strengthening of the planetary-wave driven mean meridional transport, arguably relating to the anthropogenic climate signal. The present study explores the strengthening by comparing realisations of two different scenarios. Both share the same boundary conditions including concentrations of ozone-depleting substances (ODS), but differ in their climate forcing via sea surface temperatures (SSTs) and well-mixed greenhouse gas concentrations (GHG). In the summer hemisphere tropics, higher SSTs for the warmer scenario amplify deep convection and hence the convective excitation of internal planetary waves. These waves travel upward through easterly winds while dissipating, but still carry enough of the signal into the lower stratosphere to intensify the mean meridional transport. The transport change in turn strengthens the input rate into the tropical lower stratosphere of ozone-poor tropospheric air, ultimately weakening lower-stratospheric ozone concentrations via higher tropical SSTs. The ozone variability assessment relates to monthly-mean total columns from three independent realisations of a 60-year transient scenario with realistic boundary conditions. It focuses on three latitudinal bands: southern/northern midlatitudes (SH/NH) and tropics. Common ozone MRAs are linear and iterate to account for auto-regression-induced nonlinearity. The present MRA is nonlinear and the first to demonstrate the validity of such iterations with respect to the least-squares surface: it detects only a weak distortion of the surface associated with autocorrelation, at least for the ozone time series examined. Also, the present MRA is among the few to demonstrate sufficient compliance with the regression requirements, particularly with that of independent residuals. Additionally, the new approach of response confidence bands permits a correct attribution of individual anomalies to the scenario boundary conditions. As a consequence, the present MRA is the first to explain the year 1985 SH low-ozone event, here reproduced by E39/C. The MRA further captures, e.g., a similar anomaly for the year 1997, and verifies the total-ozone response to stratospheric-transport modulating boundary conditions: tropical-SST anomalies (ENSO) affect the tropics and NH, but not the SH; or, the quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO) causes a seasonally synchronised ozone response at SH and more weakly at NH, but not in the tropics. While these features have already been reported for E39/C data, the present study establishes a firm statistical framework and discusses the physical background. Other responses refer to the 11-year solar cycle (SSC), to sulfate aerosols, and to ODS concentrations. The present nonlinear regression approach provides ample potential for further development. For instance, nonlinear deterministic regression terms may examine the existence of interactions between the NH ENSO response with long-term changes in the probability for northern polar heterogenous ozone depletion. Last, accounting for moving-average regression parameters may improve the compliance with the inference requirements even further. In conclusion, the E39/C boundary conditions modulate the ozone layer as well as stratospheric mean meridional mass transport on long and short time scales. In this respect, the most important result is the universal significance of tropical SSTs controlling stratospheric transport by governing the deep-convective production of internal and, probably, external planetary waves. An important future research task is whether increasing tropical SSTs can cause ENSO-like changes in wintertime mid- and polar-latitude stratospheric planetary-wave activity; such changes could disturb the northern polar vortex against the effect of radiatively induced stabilisation by higher GHG concentrations. E39/C and other CCMS have certain weaknesses, one of which is an unrealistically consistent QBO-related modulation of the northern polar vortex. Keeping these weaknesses in mind, MRA may represent a helpful tool as it improves the statistical efficiency.
