Supplemental materials for Altered expression of several molecular mediators of cerebral spinal fluid production in Hyp mice

X-Linked Hypophosphatemia (XLH) is a genetic disease causing life-long hypophosphatemia due to overproduction of FGF23. XLH is associated with Chiari malformations, cranial synostosis, and syringomyelia. FGF23 signals through FGFR1c and requires a co-receptor, a-Klotho, which is expressed in the renal distal convoluted tubules and the choroid plexus (ChP). In the ChP, a-Klotho participates in regulating cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) production by shuttling the sodium/potassium adenosine triphosphatase (Na+/K+-ATPase) to the luminal membrane. The sodium/potassium/chloride cotransporter 1 (NKCC1) also makes a substantial contribution to CSF production. Real-time PCR (RT-PCR) demonstrated significant upregulation of Klotho transcripts in the fourth ventricle but a trend toward reduced expression in the lateral ventricles of Hyp mice compared to controls. Transcript levels for Fgfr1c were unchanged in Hyp mice. Na+/K+-ATPase alpha-1 subunit transcripts were downregulated in all three ventricles, reaching significance in the third and lateral ventricles. Expression levels of the Slc12a2 transcript (which encodes NKCC1) were unchanged in Hyp mice compared to controls. In situ hybridization (ISH) was used to obtain anatomical corelates to the changes observed by RT-PCR. ISH confirmed the presence of all four transcripts in the lateral ventricle ChP of both WT and Hyp mice. This is the first study to document a significant change in the level of expression of the molecular machinery required for CSF production in Hyp mice. Whether similar changes occur in patients with XLH, potentially contributing to the cranial and spinal cord abnormalities frequently seen in XLH remains to be determined.

Production of microplastic reference materials

The validation of analytical methods for the identification and quantification of micro and nanoplastics in environmental matrices is hindered by a lack of standard reference materials (RMs). These materials are required for the harmonisation of analytical methods and the generation of comparable and reliable data. As a result, uncertainties associated with the measurements from individual laboratories can occur due to contamination, over-estimation, and under-estimation of nano and microplastics from environmental samples affecting the comparison and interpretation of analytical data from different laboratories. Until now, the Norwegian Institute for Water Research (NIVA) has focused on making reference materials (RMs) in the microscale, i.e., from 50 μm and up to 1 mm of the following polymer types: PVC, PE, PET, PS, PP and PC as well as polymer mixtures, in the form of effervescent soda tablets. These RMs have been used in inter- laboratory comparison (ILC) studies worldwide as well as in microplastic recovery tests. The RMs have been analysed by different laboratories using different techniques, including light microscopy, μFTIR, Raman and Pyr-GC/MS. The latest ILC study including the soda tablets is the EU project EUROqCHARM, where two sets of soda tablets, one containing PE, PET and PS (50-300 μm) and the other containing PP, PC and PVC (50-300 μm) were produced. A complete characterisation of these batches was carried during production by counting the number of particles in 20 tablets obtaining a RSD of 11 % and 13 %, respectively and by measuring all the particles in 10 of the tablets for each batch to study the size distribution. In this presentation the results for the complete characterisation of the tablets will be shown. The next step in generating relevant RMs is to focus attention on the size fractions below Also see: https://micro2022.sciencesconf.org/425663/document

Examining the Influence of Focal Point Location on Heat Transfer Dynamics in Phase Change Material: A Dataset Publication

Dataset including experimental data from small-scale solar facade module that consists of several components: Fresnel lens; cone-shaped air gap; aerogel (semi-transparent) as insulation layer; PCM container. Variations of the experimental settings in test setups are different cone diameter (2, 3 and 4 cm) and insulation layer thickness is (3,5 and 7cm). Nine different compositions  were tested in laboratory to evaluate the ompact of focal point location. The focal point has been described with three different values that reflect its location on the inner and outer surfaces and in the middle of the PCM container. The corresponding figures can be found in the paper The Effect of Fresnel Lens Focal Point Location on Heat Transfer in Phase Change Material (PCM) Enhanced Dynamic Solar Facade. This study has been supported by Fundamental and Applied Research project ‘Smart building EnVElope with solaR Energy STorage (EVEREST)’, project No. lzp-2019/1-0363, funded by the Latvian Council of Science.

Strategies, Benefits and Challenges App Store-inspired Requirements Elicitation - Supplementary Material

This is the supplementary material for the paper "Strategies, Benefits and Challenges App Store-inspired Requirements Elicitation" (also included in this repository).  Abstract: App store-inspired elicitation is the practice of exploring competitors’ apps, to get inspiration for requirements. This activity is common among developers, but little insight is available on its practical use, advantages, and possible issues. This paper aims to study strategies, benefits, and challenges of app store-inspired elicitation, and compare this technique with more traditional requirements elicitation interviews. We conduct an experimental simulation with 58 analysts and collect qualitative data. Our results show that specific guidelines and procedures are required to better conduct app store-inspired elicitation. Furthermore, current search features made available by app stores are not suitable for this practice, and more tool support is required to help analysts in the retrieval and evaluation of competing products. While interviews focus on the why dimension of requirements engineering (i.e., goals), app store-inspired elicitation focuses on how (i.e., solutions), offering indications for implementation and improved usability. Our study provides a framework for researchers to address existing challenges and suggests possible benefits to foster app store-inspired elicitation among practitioners. The package contains the following files: 1.Protocol.pdf - it describes in details the steps of the protocol and the intermediate results obtained during the execution. 2. Codebooks: 2.a.

"STILL AROUND": Experiences and Survival Strategies of Veteran Women Software Developers (Supplementary Material)

The intersection of ageism and sexism can create a hostile environment for veteran software developers belonging to marginalized genders. In this study, we conducted 14 interviews to examine the experiences of people at this intersection, primarily women, in order to discover the strategies they employed in order to successfully remain in the field. We identified 283 codes, which fell into three main categories: Strategies, Experiences, and Perception. Several strategies we identified, such as (Deliberately) Not Trying to Look Younger, were not previously described in the software engineering literature. We found that, in some companies, older women developers are recognized as having particular value, further strengthening the known benefits of diversity in the workforce. Based on the experiences and strategies, we suggest organizations employing software developers to consider the benefits of hiring veteran women software developers. For example, companies can draw upon the life experiences of older women developers in order to better understand the needs of customers from a similar demographic. While we recognize that many of the strategies employed by our study participants are a response to systemic issues, we still consider that, in the short-term, there is benefit in describing these strategies for developers who are experiencing such issues today.

ICSE'23: How Do We Read Formal Claims? Eye-Tracking and the Cognition of Proofs about Algorithms (Replication Materials)

Formal methods are used successfully in high-assurance software, but they require rigorous mathematical and logical training that practitioners often lack. As such, integrating formal methods into software has been associated with numerous challenges. While educators have placed emphasis on formalisms in undergraduate theory courses, such courses often struggle with poor student outcomes and satisfaction. In this paper, we present a controlled eye-tracking human study (n=34) investigating the problem-solving strategies employed by students with different levels of incoming preparation (as assessed by theory coursework taken and pre-screening performance on a proof comprehension task), and how educators can better prepare low-outcome students for the rigorous logical reasoning that is a core part of formal methods in software engineering. We find that incoming preparation is not a good predictor of student outcomes for formalism comprehension tasks, and that student self-reports are not accurate at identifying factors associated with high outcomes for such tasks. Instead, and importantly, we find that differences in outcomes can be attributed to performance for proofs by induction and recursive algorithms, and that better-performing students exhibit significantly more attention switching behaviors, a result that has several implications for pedagogy in terms of the design of teaching materials. Our results suggest the need for a substantial pedagogical intervention in core theory courses to better align student outcomes with the objectives of mastery and retaining the material, and thus bettering preparing students for high-assurance software engineering. This artifact makes publicly available the de-identified eye-tracking and facial behavior analysis data that we collected in our controlled study of cognition of proofs about algorithms. We also include our Python scripts (as several Jupyter notebooks) used for the statistical analyses of the collected data.
