    Background Current electrocardiographic algorithms lack sensitivity to diagnose acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in the presence of left bundle branch block. Methods and Results A multicenter retrospective cohort study including consecutive patients with suspected AMI and left bundle branch block, referred for primary percutaneous coronary intervention between 2009 and 2018. Pre-2015 patients formed the derivation cohort (n=163, 61 with AMI); patients between 2015 and 2018 formed the validation cohort (n=107, 40 with AMI). A control group of patients without suspected AMI was also studied (n=214). Different electrocardiographic criteria were tested. A total of 484 patients were studied. A new electrocardiographic algorithm (BARCELONA algorithm) was derived and validated. The algorithm is positive in the presence of ST deviation ≥1 mm (0.1 mV) concordant with QRS polarity, in any lead, or ST deviation ≥1 mm (0.1 mV) discordant with the QRS, in leads with max (R|S) voltage (the voltage of the largest deflection of the QRS, ie, R or S wave) ≤6 mm (0.6 mV). In both the derivation and the validation cohort, the BARCELONA algorithm achieved the highest sensitivity (93%-95%), negative predictive value (96%-97%), efficiency (91%-94%) and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (0.92-0.93), significantly higher than previous electrocardiographic rules (P<0.01); the specificity was good in both groups (89%-94%) as well as the control group (90%). Conclusions In patients with left bundle branch block referred for primary percutaneous coronary intervention, the BARCELONA algorithm was specific and highly sensitive for the diagnosis of AMI, leading to a diagnostic accuracy comparable to that obtained by ECG in patients without left bundle branch block

    Novel techniques for alpha/beta pulse shape discrimination in Borexino

    Borexino could efficiently distinguish between alpha and beta radiation in its liquid scintillator by the characteristic time profile of their scintillation pulse. This alpha/beta discrimination, first demonstrated at the tonne scale in the Counting Test Facility prototype, was used throughout the lifetime of the experiment between 2007 and 2021. With this method, alpha events are identified and subtracted from the beta-like solar neutrino events. This is particularly important in liquid scintillator as alpha scintillation is quenched many-fold. In Borexino, the prominent Po-210 decay peak was a background in the energy range of electrons scattered from Be-7 solar neutrinos. Optimal alpha-beta discrimination was achieved with a "multi-layer perceptron neural network", which its higher ability to leverage the timing information of the scintillation photons detected by the photomultiplier tubes. An event-by-event, high efficiency, stable, and uniform pulse shape discrimination was essential in characterising the spatial distribution of background in the detector. This benefited most Borexino measurements, including solar neutrinos in the \pp chain and the first direct observation of the CNO cycle in the Sun. This paper presents the key milestones in alpha/beta discrimination in Borexino as a term of comparison for current and future large liquid scintillator detectorsComment: 13 pages, 14 figure

    Borexino's search for low-energy neutrinos associated with gravitational wave events from GWTC-3 database

    The search for neutrino events in correlation with gravitational wave (GW) events for three observing runs (O1, O2 and O3) from 09/2015 to 03/2020 has been performed using the Borexino data-set of the same period. We have searched for signals of neutrino-electron scattering with visible energies above 250 keV within a time window of 1000 s centered at the detection moment of a particular GW event. The search was done with three visible energy thresholds of 0.25, 0.8 and 3.0 MeV.Two types of incoming neutrino spectra were considered: the mono-energetic line and the spectrum expected from supernovae. The same spectra were considered for electron antineutrinos detected through inverse beta-decay (IBD) reaction. GW candidates originated by merging binaries of black holes (BHBH), neutron stars (NSNS) and neutron star and black hole (NSBH) were analysed separately. Additionally, the subset of most intensive BHBH mergers at closer distances and with larger radiative mass than the rest was considered. In total, follow-ups of 74 out of 93 gravitational waves reported in the GWTC-3 catalog were analyzed and no statistically significant excess over the background was observed. As a result, the strongest upper limits on GW-associated neutrino and antineutrino fluences for all flavors (\nu_e, \nu_\mu, \nu_\tau) have been obtained in the (0.5 - 5.0) MeV neutrino energy range.Comment: 13 pages, 8 figure

    First Directional Measurement of sub-MeV Solar Neutrinos with Borexino

    We report the measurement of sub-MeV solar neutrinos through the use of their associated Cherenkov radiation, performed with the Borexino detector at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso. The measurement is achieved using a novel technique that correlates individual photon hits of events to the known position of the Sun. In an energy window between 0.54 to 0.74 MeV, selected using the dominant scintillation light, we have measured 10 887þ2386 ðstatÞ � 947ðsystÞ (68% confidence interval) −2103 solar neutrinos out of 19904 total events. This corresponds to a 7Be neutrino interaction rate of 51.6þ13.9 counts=ðday · 100 tonÞ, which is in agreement with the standard solar model predictions and the −12.5 previous spectroscopic results of Borexino. The no-neutrino hypothesis can be excluded with > 5σ confidence level. For the first time, we have demonstrated the possibility of utilizing the directional Cherenkov information for sub-MeV solar neutrinos, in a large-scale, high light yield liquid scintillator detector. This measurement provides an experimental proof of principle for future hybrid event reconstruction using both Cherenkov and scintillation signatures simultaneously

    Rooftop Gardens on Apartment Buildings: Kommentar zu Lisa Vollmer und Boris Michel „Wohnen in der Klimakrise. Die Wohnungsfrage als ökologische Frage“

    Der Trend zur Urbanisierung und Verdichtung von Wohnraum in Kombination mit der globalen Erwärmung zeigt immer deutlichere Auswirkungen auf das Stadtklima. Zur Reduktion der Belastungen für die Stadtbevölkerung sind gebäudegebundene Begrünungsformen eine wirksame Strategie. Vor allem die Verlagerung der Vegetation auf die bisher kaum genutzte Dachebene hat das Potenzial, negative Auswirkungen der Flächenversieglung und Flächenkonkurrenz auszugleichen, da intensive Dachbegrünungen vielfältige soziale, ökologische und ökonomische Vorteile haben. Da diese in der täglichen Planungs- und Wohnbaupraxis noch unzureichend genutzt werden, wurde in der Stadt Graz ein transformativer Kommunikations- und Lernprozess initiiert, der unter den beteiligten Akteuren nachhaltige Handlungsänderungen anregen soll. Dazu wurde auf Basis einer qualitativen Potenzialanalyse eine Dialogplattform ins Leben gerufen, die im Rahmen von interaktiven Workshop-Formaten relevante Stakeholder vernetzt hat. Dabei konnten Vorbehalte ausgeräumt, Erfahrungen ausgetauscht und Synergieeffekte ausgelotet werden. Durch die gemeinsame Konzeption von Demonstrationsprojekten soll das Erfahren, Experimentieren und Reflektieren mit innovativen Dachbegrünungen weiter angeregt werden. Dieser kontinuierliche Aushandlungs- und Lernprozess soll dazu beitragen, dass sich Dachgärten als wirksamer Lösungsansatz für die sozial-ökologischen Herausforderungen des modernen Wohn- und Städtebaus etablieren und weitere Nachhaltigkeitstransformationen gefördert werden.The trend towards urbanization and densification of living space combined with global warming has a strong impact on the urban climate. To reduce the impairment to health of the urban population, building-related forms of greening are an effective strategy. Especially the shift of vegetation to the barely used roof level has the potential to compensate for negative effects of soil sealing and land competition, as intensive green roofs have various social, ecological and economic advantages. Since these benefits are insufficiently exploited in daily planning and housing practice, a transformative communication and learning process has been initiated in the city of Graz, which is intended to stimulate sustainable changes among the actors. Based on a qualitative potential analysis, a dialog platform was established, which linked relevant stakeholders in the context of interactive workshop formats. This enabled reservations to be resolved, experiences to be exchanged and synergy effects to be explored. The joint conception of demonstration projects is intended to further stimulate experience, experimentation, and reflection with innovative green roofs. This continuous negotiation and learning process should help to establish roof gardens as an effective solution to the socio-ecological challenges of modern housing and urban development and to promote further sustainability transformations
