The FR-I Radio Galaxies NGC 315 and NGC 4261 Observed with ASCA

FR-I radio galaxies NGC 315 and NGC 4261 were observed in X-rays with ASCA for ∼ 37 ks and ∼ 54 ks, respectively. Hard X-ray emission from a point-like source at the nucleus was detected at a 2–10 keV luminosity of 3.1 × 10 41 and 9.2 × 10 40 erg s −1 , respectively, for assumed distances of 66 Mpc and 29 Mpc (for H0 =7 5 km s −1 Mpc −1 ). The 2–10 keV spectra of NGC 315 and NGC 4261 were both fitted successfully with a power-law of photon index 2.02 ±0.34 and 1.45 ±0.11, respectively, plus emission from hot gas. The NGC 315 nucleus is mildly absorbed. No X-ray variability was detected from either object, with typical upper limits of several tens per cent. These results imply the presence of a low-luminosity active galactic nucleus in both galaxies, and reconfirm the previous recognition that the FR-I nuclei are significantly less X-ray luminous than the FR-II ones.
Filamentary structure in the Orion molecular cloud

A large-scale (C-13)O map (containing 33,000 spectra on a 1-arcmin grid) is presented for the giant molecular cloud located in the southern part of Ori which contains the Ori Nebula, NGC 1977, and the L1641 dark cloud complex. The overall structure of the cloud is filamentary, with individual features having a length up to 40 times their width. The northern portion of the cloud is compressed, dynamically relaxed, and supports massive star formation. In contrast, the southern part of the Ori A cloud is diffuse, exhibits chaotic spatial and velocity structure, and supports only intermediate- to low-mass star formation. This morphology may be the consequence of the formation and evolution of the Ori OB I association centered north of the molecular cloud. The entire cloud, in addition to the 5000-solar-mass filament containing both OMC-1 and OMC-2, exhibits a north-south velocity gradient. Implications of the observed cloud morphology for theories of molecular cloud evolution are discussed. 14 references.
Cross‐domain sentiment classification using decoding‐enhanced bidirectional encoder representations from transformers with disentangled attention

Cross‐domain sentiment classification is a significant task of sentiment analysis that objectives to predict the opinion orientation of text documents in the target domain by using the source domain's learned classifier. Most of the existing approaches of domain‐adaptation in sentiment classification focus on sharing low‐dimensional features across the domain using domain independent and specific features to mitigate the gap between domains. Earlier cross‐domain sentiment classification approaches mainly focused on document level and sentence level, they cannot consider the full impact of aspect words, position of the words, and long‐term dependencies. To address this concern, we propose a model for cross‐domain sentiment classification, which is based on decoding‐enhanced BERT with disentangled attention (DeBERTa). DeBERTa is a pretrained language model based on transformer architecture. In this article, we perform sentence and aspect embedding to mine wordpiece information from text document. DeBERTa language‐model utilize disentangled attention mechanism and an enhanced mask decoder to understand the expression features. Disentangled attention mechanism is used to encode each word into two vectors (i.e., content and position vector). In order to predict the masked tokens during model pretraining, an enhanced mask decoder is employed, which incorporates absolute positions in the decoding layer. Finally, experiments are conducted on the benchmark dataset that demonstrates the superiority of fine‐tuned DeBERTa model for cross‐domain sentiment classification tasks.
TESTING FOR EMBEDDABILITY BY STATIONARY REVERSIBLE CONTINUOUS-TIME MARKOV PROCESSES

Given an observation of a discrete-time process {Yi,i = 0.n} assumed to be Markov, stationary, and time reversible, we develop a (conservative) test procedure of embeddability by a continuous-time reversible Markov process. The test statistic is derived from a set of moment inequality restrictions implied by the spectral properties of such continuous-time processes. Most interesting is that the embeddability condition of interest is a direct extension of the well-known embeddability problem by a two-state Markov chain. Empirical experiments show that the embeddability hypothesis is rejected more frequently for exchange rate daily data than for stock indices data.
A model for collisionally induced disturbed structure in disk galaxies

We derive analytic expressions, using the impulse and epicycle approximations, which describe the kinematic response of a disk galaxy following a collision with a second spherical galaxy which collides perpendicular to, but not through the center of, the disk. This model can reporduce the morphologies found in n-body experiments in which distant encounters produce two-armed spiral patterns and more central collisions produce rings in the disk galaxy, thereby confirming that simple kinematics can be used to describe the early evolution of these systems. Application of this procedure provides a convenient method with which to conduct parameter studies of these collisions. Comparison of the kinematic description with a fully self-gravitating, three-dimensional n-body/gasdynamics computer model shows that the disk galaxy's response is initially well represented by the kinematic model but that the self-gravity of the disk becomes important at longer times after the collision. The flows of gas and stars decouple from one another where stellar orbits cross, leaving regions of elevated gas density behind as the stars move freely past each other. If star formation rates are enhanced in these regions of high gas density, active star formation could be taking place where there is no corresponding dense feature in the old stellar population.
The Association between Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Glycated Haemoglobin A1c (Hba1c) Level in Diabetes Mellitus Type II Patient

Abstract Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a chronic condition characterized by repetitive episodes of upper airway collapse, apnea, and arousal during sleep. OSA and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are common comorbid conditions. Haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) is an approximation of an individual’s average blood glucose level for the prior two to three months, and therefore is considered to be a major index for monitoring glycaemic control in diabetic patientsObjective: This study aimed to examine the association between OSA and HbA1c levels in T2DM patients.Methods: This was a cross-sectional study. The study assesses the association between OSA and HbA1c levels in 75 T2DM patients. OSA in the patient was asses with Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) questionnaire. HbA1c values were obtained from the patient’s records. Data presented in mean ± SD, max, and min. Correlations analyses using Pearson correlation coefficient with p < 0.05 were considered statistically significant.Results: A total of 75 T2DM has a mean BMI were 25.26 ± 48.31 kg/m2 with mean HbA1c levels of about 7.1 ± 0.19%. The mean ESS score was 5 ± 0.429. The very weak correlation between OSA and BMI was statistically significant, r = 0.213; p = 0.047. Meanwhile, a very weak correlation between OSA and HbA1c levels was not statistically significant, r = 0.137; p = 0.242Conclusion: Among adults with T2DM, the correlation between OSA with HbA1c was not statistically significant
Human capital and its role in start-ups’ early internationalisation. An example of Polish new ventures

The article considers the relations of education and prior international experience as elements of human capital with new ventures’ early internationalisation. The aim of the study is to investigate the role of human capital as a factor that can influence early internationalisation. The paper presents partial results based on a sample of 220 Polish start-ups operating in the information and communications technology sector, founded between 2017 and 2021. Quantitative methods were used to analyse the data collected in March and April 2022 by applying the CATI method. In addition, binomial logistic regression, assuming a dichotomous dependent variable, was used to verify the formulated research hypotheses. The study finds that prior international experience and education could significantly determine the likelihood of early internationalisation. The research also showed that human capital is positively related to start-up internationalisation. The results presented in the article have practical implications. They are just a starting point for further analysis regarding focusing not only on human capital but also on considerations on intellectual capital and identifying the other factors influencing the start-ups’ early internationalisation in the information and communications technology sector, recognised as one of the most innovative industries in the Polish economy.
A Search for OB Associations near Southern Long-Period Cepheids. IV. XY Carinae, GT Carinae, WZ Sagittarii, and SW Velorum

We report UBV photometry for fields surrounding four long-period Cepheids in the Southern Milky Way. No potential early-type companions are detected around XY Car, which appears to be relatively isolated. However, an anonymous group of nine B-type and two possible FG supergiant stars are detected as possible companions to GT Car, despite its location at a seemingly improbably large distance of 10 kpc. WZ Sgr is found to lie in a sparse, previously undetected cluster, 1.8 kpc distant, containing upward of 76 potential early-type member stars. Preliminary spectroscopic observations strengthen the case for cluster membership in this instance
Preferences for cardiovascular and pulmonary rehabilitation care: A discrete choice experiment among patients in Lebanon

Objective Patient preferences are important in designing optimal rehabilitation care. The aim of this study is to assess preferences for rehabilitation care among two groups of respondents. Design An online discrete choice experiment survey was carried out. Setting We use data for Lebanon, a country where rehabilitation care is still underdeveloped. Participants Patients who have undergone or are currently undergoing rehabilitation treatment (users) and those who have not (yet) used rehabilitation care (non-users). Intervention Patients were asked to repeatedly choose between two hypothetical rehabilitation care packages with seven different attributes: attitude of the staff, travel time to clinic, out-of-pocket costs, medical equipment, rehabilitation plan, additional lifestyle education session, and support during rehabilitation care. Main measures Preference heterogeneity among patients with different characteristics was investigated using random effect binary logistic regression (software package Stata 15). Results In total, 126 respondents completed the survey. The most preferred attribute was an informal and friendly attitude of the staff followed by modern medical equipment, additional lifestyle education session via eHealth, and support during the rehabilitation program via phone call or SMS. Respondents were less in favor of going to the rehabilitation clinic and paying additional out-of-pocket costs for the rehabilitation treatment. This rank order was similar between users and non-users. Conclusion Preferences of patients regarding the type of program chosen (eHealth or at clinical-based) need to be included in future rehabilitation programs. Improving patient experience with rehabilitation programs by giving the best care based on a patient-centered approach is essential.
First Pressure Derivative of Bulk Modulus for Porous Materials

Two equations are derived giving the effect of porosity in the form of spherical pores upon the pressure derivative dK/dp of bulk modulus. In the first equation, dK/dp is expressed in terms of porosity and the second‐order elastic constants for the solid material, whereas in the second equation, the third‐order constants are needed as well. The expressions are evaluated for thirteen materials, showing that dK/dp for porous material may be either larger or smaller than the value for the solid matrix.
Prognostic model for predicting overall and cancer-specific survival among patients with superficial spreading melanoma: A SEER based study

Skin malignant melanoma is one of the most aggressive skin tumors. Superficial spreading melanoma (SSM) is the most common histological type, which can originate from different body skin sites, and some patients can still accumulate regional lymph nodes and even have distant metastasis in some cases. This study used the relevant data from the monitoring, epidemiology and results database of the National Cancer Institute database to study the overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) of SSM patients and established an SSM nomogram to evaluate the prognosis of patients. A total of 13,922 patients were collected from the monitoring, epidemiology and results database of the National Cancer Institute and randomly divided into a training cohort (8353 cases) and a validation cohort (5569 cases). Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis were used to determine prognostic factors, and these factors were used to construct OS and CSS nomograms for patients with SSM. Finally, the discrimination and consistency of the nomogram model were evaluated by the consistency index (C-index), area under the curve (AUC) and calibration curve. Multivariate Cox regression analysis suggested that age, sex, tumor site, the American joint committee on cancer T stage and the first primary melanoma were independent predictors of OS and CSS in patients with SSM and that the American joint committee on cancer N stage was also an independent predictor of CSS in patients with SSM. Based on the above prognostic factors, this study constructed a predictive model. The C-index of the model OS and CSS for this training cohort was 0.805 [95% CI: 0.793–0.817] and 0.896 [95% CI: 0.878–0.913], respectively. The AUC values for 1-, 3-, and 5-year OS were 0.822, 0.820, and 0.821, respectively, and the AUC values for CSS were 0.914, 0.922, and 0.893, respectively. The data indicated that both nomograms showed better predictive accuracy. The calibration curves of the training cohort and the validation cohort were in good agreement. The nomogram has superior predictive performance in predicting 1-, 3-, and 5-year OS and CSS prognosis in patients with SSM and can provide a reference for individualized treatment and clinical counseling of SSM.
Employing the teaching games for understanding model to improve social responsibility in a Physical Education class with children who have special needs: A qualitative study approach

The purpose of the study was to explore whether children with special needs taking part in physical education (PE) could improve their levels of social responsibility using the Teaching Games for Understanding (TGfU) model over a fourteen‐lesson period. The study used a qualitative semi-structured interviews approach in which the design consisted of an assessment after lesson 7 and then again after lesson 14. A TGfU dodgeball intervention was carried out during the study and the participants (n = 14) were in their second and third years of secondary education within a special needs school specifically established for children who have social, emotional, and mental health concerns (SEMH). According to the background and ability levels of the students the teacher- researcher decided to implement the full use of the original TGfU model using its features to act as a strategy for intervention. The teacher-researcher was an experienced teacher of PE who undertook a dual role throughout the study including assessing the data and undertaking the semi-structured interviews. Qualitatively, data was open and coded line‐by‐line and incident‐to‐incident, categorised into themes and then analysed further into sub‐ themes. The qualitative information supported that the pedagogical strategies within the original TGfU model could have a clear impact on the levels of democracy, empowerment and reflections of children with special educational needs. In conclusion, the TGfU model should be considered as an approach and positive intervention to improve the social responsibility levels of children with special needs.
A Proposal to Differentiate ACO, Asthma and COPD in Vietnam

Background: In low- and middle-income countries, such as Vietnam, the population is exposed to multiple risks, leading to frequent allergic asthma, COPD and their overlap (ACO). We aimed to differentiate asthma and COPD, so that recommended treatments can be applied. Methods: We hypothesized that during life, the cumulative exposure to noxious particles increases the relative prevalence of COPD, while due to immuno-senescence, the prevalence of allergic asthma decreases with age. Among 568 patients with chronic respiratory symptoms, five phenotypes were defined, based on responsiveness to a bronchodilator (BD), diffusion capacity and cumulative smoking. Then the relative prevalence of each phenotype was related with age. Results: the smoker BD irreversible patients were considered “COPD”, while the full BD responders and non-smoking BD incomplete responders were “asthmatics”. The other patients were ACO, distributed as “like-COPD” or “like-asthma”, based on decreased or normal diffusion capacity. The relative prevalence of asthma, COPD and ACO were 26, 42 and 32% (18% “like-asthma”, 14% “like-COPD”). Conclusion: Vietnamese patients with chronic respiratory symptoms were considered as falling into asthma or COPD groups, based on cumulative smoking, spirometry with reversibility and diffusion capacity. The relative prevalence of asthma and COPD were 44 and 56%, respectively, most of which did not require corticosteroids.
Quantifying leg muscle deoxygenation during incremental cycling in hypoxemic patients with fibrotic interstitial lung disease

Hypoxaemia and cardiocirculatory abnormalities may impair muscle oxygen (O2) delivery relative to O2 requirements thereby increasing the rate of O2 extraction during incremental exercise in fibrotic interstitial lung disease (f‐ILD). Using changes in deoxyhaemoglobin concentration ([HHb]) by near‐infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) as a proxy of O2 extraction, we investigated whether a simplified (double‐linear) approach, previously tested in heart failure, would provide useful estimates of muscle deoxygenation in f‐ILD.
Stimulation of B-Lymphocytes by Endotoxin

Thymus-independent B lymphocytes were shown to play the main role in the transformation response of mouse spleen cultures to endotoxin (LPS). Spleen cells from mice thymectomized at 6 to 8 weeks, lethally irradiated, and reconstituted with syngeneic bone marrow (TxXBM) reacted normally to LPS, while the responses to phytohemagglutinin and ConA were markedly depressed. The reaction to LPS, however, was temporarily depressed in the TxXBM mice and was fully recovered only 4 weeks after treatment. This latent period may be necessary for processing of the reacting cells. Karyotypic analysis of spleen cultures from mouse chimeras with T6T6 thymus grafts showed that only 1.2% of the LPS-stimulated cells were of thymus origin, as compared to 29.7% reacting to PHA and 12.2% to sheep red blood cells.
The magnetostrictive material effects on magnetic field sensitivity for magnetoelectric sensor

The magnetic sensitivity to magnetic field for the magnetoelectric (ME) sensor is studied. Theoretical analysis predicts that the ME voltage sensitivity to Hac (i.e., ∂VME/∂Hac under dc bias field) and the ME voltage sensitivity to Hdc (i.e., ∂VME/∂Hdc under ac bias field) for the ME sensor are significantly dependent on the product of the effective mechanical quality factor of the ME sensor Qm, the saturation magnetostriction λs of the magnetostrictive material, and the square of magnetic permeability μr. The experimental results demonstrate that the greatest value of ∂VME/∂Hac for the FeCuNbSiB/PZT-8/FeCuNbSiB (FePFe) sensor reaches 10 V/Oe due to the largest product of the Qm, λs and the square of μr, relative to FeNi-FACE/PZT-8/FeNi-FACE (FPF) and Terfenol-D/PZT-8/Terfenol-D (MPM) sensors. Meanwhile, the maximum value of ∂VME/∂Hdc for FePFe sensor achieves 242.2 mV/Oe, which is ∼10 times higher than that of the FPF sensor and ∼ 4 times higher than that of the MPM sensor. To obtain the high magnetic se.
On the asymptotic behavior of a class of third order nonlinear neutral differential equations

AbstractThe objective of this paper is to study asymptotic properties of the third-order neutral differential equation $$ \left[ {a\left( t \right)\left( {\left[ {x\left( t \right) + p\left( t \right)x\left( {\sigma \left( t \right)} \right)} \right]^{\prime \prime } } \right)^\gamma } \right]^\prime + q\left( t \right)f\left( {x\left[ {\tau \left( t \right)} \right]} \right) = 0, t \geqslant t_0 . \left( E \right) $$. We will establish two kinds of sufficient conditions which ensure that either all nonoscillatory solutions of (E) converge to zero or all solutions of (E) are oscillatory. Some examples are considered to illustrate the main results.
Spectral theory for the fractal Laplacian in the context of h‐sets

An h‐set is a nonempty compact subset of the Euclidean n‐space which supports a finite Radon measure for which the measure of balls centered on the subset is essentially given by the image of their radius by a suitable function h. In most cases of interest such a subset has Lebesgue measure zero and has a fractal structure. Let Ω be a bounded C∞ domain in ${\mathbb R}^n $ with Γ ⊂ Ω. Let where (−Δ)−1 is the inverse of the Dirichlet Laplacian in Ω and trΓ is, say, trace type operator. The operator B, acting in convenient function spaces in Ω, is studied. Estimations for the eigenvalues of B are presented, and generally shown to be dependent on h, and the smoothness of the associated eigenfunctions is discussed. Some results on Besov spaces of generalised smoothness on ${{\bb R}^n} $ and on domains which were obtained in the course of this work are also presented, namely pointwise multipliers, the existence of a universal extension operator, interpolation with function parameter and mapping properties of the Dirichlet Laplacian. © 2011 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Variances of quantifying of Virchow–Robin spaces detecting the different functional status of glymphatic system in simple febrile seizures affected by seizures duration

The Virchow–Robin spaces (VRs) in the cerebral glymphatic system play a vital role in waste clearance from the brain. Simple febrile seizures (SFS) are a common type of seizures marked by an inappropriate fluid exchange. The mechanism of evident differences in glymphatic function among SFS with varying seizure duration is unknown. Therefore, the goal of this study was to see whether there were any variations in glymphatic function among SFS based on seizures duration. We retrospectively studied 30 children with SFS lasting more than 5 minutes (SFS > 5M), 40 children with SFS lasting 5 minutes or less (SFS ≤ 5M), and 35 healthy controls aged 6 to 60 months who underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A custom-designed automated method that used T2-weighted imaging (T2WI) to segment the visible VRs. The VRs metrics were measured and compared studied groups. The VRs metrics, seizure duration the time gap between seizure onset and MRI scan were studied as well. VRs counts were lower (P < .001) in the SFS ≤ 5M (445.80 ± 66.10) and the control (430.77 ± 182.55) groups in comparison to SFS > 5M (642.70 ± 100.62). Similar results were found for VRs volume (VRsvol_SFS > 5M, 8514.63 ± 835.33mm3, VRsvol_SFS ≤ 5M, 6390.43 ± 692.74 mm3, VRsvol_control, 6048.37 ± 111.50 mm3; P < .001). However, in the SFS ≤ 5M, VRs measurements were lower than in the SFS > 5M (P < .001). VRs measurements were positively connected with seizure duration and inversely correlated with the course following seizure onset and MRI scan time in both SFS groups. SFS are positively correlated to glymphatic dysfunction since they cause enlarged VRs; additionally, VRs can be used as a biomarker in SFS > 5M and contribute to the mechanism.
