Priority Access Controls in NOMA-Based Slotted ALOHA for 6G IoT Medium Access Controls

In this paper, novel medium access control (MAC) relies on priority access control (PAC), uplink non-orthognal multiple access (NOMA), and slotted ALOHA (SA) (PACSA-NOMA) is proposed to solve dropped throughput performance at overload traffic condition for 6G internet of things (IoT). The main idea is to reduce collisions by controlling the number of devices at overload traffic for stable throughput performance. To evaluate the performance of PACSA-NOMA, density evolution is derived for packet loss rate in an asymptotic regime. Finally, numerical results validate PACSA-NOMA substantially increases the energy efficiency of the conventional RAs.
Dual-space Hierarchical Learning for Goal-guided Conversational Recommendation

Proactively and naturally guiding the dialog from the non-recommendation context (e.g., Chit-chat) to the recommendation scenario (e.g., Music) is crucial for the Conversational Recommender System (CRS). Prior studies mainly focus on planning the next dialog goal~(e.g., chat on a movie star) conditioned on the previous dialog. However, we find the dialog goals can be simultaneously observed at different levels, which can be utilized to improve CRS. In this paper, we propose Dual-space Hierarchical Learning (DHL) to leverage multi-level goal sequences and their hierarchical relationships for conversational recommendation. Specifically, we exploit multi-level goal sequences from both the representation space and the optimization space. In the representation space, we propose the hierarchical representation learning where a cross attention module derives mutually enhanced multi-level goal representations. In the optimization space, we devise the hierarchical weight learning to reweight lower-level goal sequences, and introduce bi-level optimization for stable update. Additionally, we propose a soft labeling strategy to guide optimization gradually. Experiments on two real-world datasets verify the effectiveness of our approach. Code and data are available here.
EAST: An Enhanced Automated Machine Learning Library for Spatio-Temporal Forecasting

Huge spatio-temporal data (e.g., traffic flow, human mobility, and geographical data) are generated in modern cities. Accurately forecasting over spatio-temporal data enables many essential applications in intelligent cities, such as traffic management, public safety, and economy. To improve the ease of use, we propose an E nhanced A utomated machine learning library for S patio-T emporal forecasting, entitled EAST . In EAST, we mainly reconstruct three types of automated machine learning methods, namely, AutoSTPoint, AutoSTGrid, and AutoSTGraph for spatio-temporal point (STPoint) forecasting, spatio-temporal grid (STGrid) forecasting, and spatio-temporalgraph(STGraph)forecasting,respectively. Weadaptstructure-aware algorithms using neural architecture search methods. The search space is elaborately designed according to the structures and characteristics of spatio-temporal data. We implement EAST with the popular deep learning frameworks. Finally, we conduct experiments on real-world datasets to demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of our EAST.
GAMBARAN TINGKAT PENGETAHUAN DAN KETERAMPILAN PEDAGANG TENTANG PERTOLONGAN PERTAMA PADA KEJADIAN ORANG TENGGELAM DI AREA WISATA PANTAI PANJANG KOTA BENGKULU

In general, drowning can occur due to accidents, either directly or by certain factors. Drowning requires immediate treatment and assistance. Drowning is the third leading cause of death from accidental injury. This happened due to several factors, including the lack of knowledge of rescuers about first aid for drowning victims, lack of socialization about the benefits of first aid for drowning victims among the community, including traders. The purpose of this study was to describe the level of knowledge and skills of traders about first aid in the incident of drowning in the Pantai Panjang tourist area, Bengkulu City. This type of research uses descriptive observation method with a quantitative approach using snawball sampling technique. The results of this study obtained the level of knowledge of traders more than half (55%) in the good category and the skill level of traders (53%) in the good category. It is recommended that this study can be a reference to determine the importance of first aid in the event of a drowning person.
The gap phenomenon in parabolic geometries

The infinitesimal symmetry algebra of any Cartan geometry has maximum dimension realized by the flat model, but often this dimension drops significantly when considering non-flat geometries, so a gap phenomenon arises. For general (regular, normal) parabolic geometries of type (G,P), we use Tanaka theory to derive a universal upper bound on the submaximal symmetry dimension. We use Kostant's version of the Bott-Borel-Weil theorem to show that this bound is in fact sharp in almost all complex and split-real cases by exhibiting (abstract) models. We explicitly compute all submaximal symmetry dimensions when G is any complex or split-real simple Lie group.
Biocrust diversity enhances dryland saline soil multifunctionality

Biocrusts are multifaceted communities including mosses, lichens, and cyanobacteria that are crucial for sustaining soil functions in drylands. Most studies on biocrust functions to date have focused on biocrust cover and development, largely in non‐saline soils, and we know very little about the importance of biocrust diversity for maintaining multifunctionality in saline dryland soils. We assessed the direct and indirect linkages between biocrust richness, soil texture and salinity and soil multifunctionality by measuring 13 variables characterizing soil biological, nutrient and hydrological functions across 32 plots in a salinized dryland in northeastern Iran. We assessed the species richness of biocrust patches and characterized soil functions in bare soils. Overall, biocrust species richness declined with soil clay content and soil salinity, whereas soil salinity increased with soil clay content. Structural equation modeling showed a strong positive association between biocrust species richness and all measured dryland soil functions (soil biological, nutrient, and hydrological functions), but soil hydrological function declined with soil salinity. Overall, dryland soil multifunctionality was positively associated with biocrust species richness but negatively associated with soil clay content. Biocrust species richness likely enhances soil multifunctionality via the distinct roles of species and biocrust functional groups in providing carbon and nutrient inputs, creating favourable microsites, enhancing infiltration, and facilitating soil microbial colonization in saline dryland soils. Overall, our findings highlight a key role for biocrust diversity in facilitating and maintaining soil multifunctionality in drylands affected by soil salinity.
Natural models of theories of green points

We explicitly present expansions of the complex field which are models of the theories of green points in the multiplicative group case and in the case of an elliptic curve without complex multiplication defined over $\mathbb{R}$. In fact, in both cases we give families of structures depending on parameters and prove that they are all models of the theories, provided certain instances of Schanuel's conjecture or an analogous conjecture for the exponential map of the elliptic curve hold. In the multiplicative group case, however, the results are unconditional for generic choices of the parameters.
Ambulatory Pathway for the Management of Superficial Abscesses: Criteria for Safe Provision of Care

Background Superficial abscesses are common surgical emergencies and unless complicated, are considered a low-priority emergency often leading to delayed primary treatment. Patients who are clinically stable benefit more from an ambulatory-care approach to their treatment. Aim of study This is a retrospective study to investigate the current practice of treatment of superficial abscesses at West Suffolk Hospital, United Kingdom, and evaluate the potential impact of implementing care via the ambulatory pathway to improve patients' experience, optimise the use of hospital resources and identify areas for service improvement. Patients and methods A total of 76 patients who required inpatient care for drainage of their superficial abscess under general anaesthesia over six months were a part of the study. Admission, procedure, and hospital stay characteristics were evaluated as well as our proposed superficial abscess ambulatory-care pathway (SAAP) criteria. Results The mean age was 39 ± 18 years. Perianal and pilonidal abscesses accounted for 53% of the procedures. Only 24% of the patients had a C-reactive protein (CRP) >100 at admission. The average waiting time before intervention was 19 hours (± 16.25) with patients spending two days on average in the hospital for a procedure that lasted an average of 31 minutes. Overall, 39.5% of the patients received drainage of their abscess on the same day of presentation to the hospital with only five discharges on the same day of admission. Of the total patients, 52.6% met our SAAP criteria for ambulatory care and could have avoided inpatient care and benefitted from same-day discharges. Conclusion Ambulatory care of a superficial abscess is a safe, feasible approach. We recommend establishing an ambulatory care pathway for the management of superficial abscess cases with our SAAP criteria serving as a useful objective guide for effective and safe triage of patients with reduced hospital stay and more efficient utilisation of resources.
The Role of 12/15-Lipoxygenase and Its Various Metabolites Generated from Multiple Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids as Substrates in Inflammatory Responses

12/15-lipoxygenase (12/15-LOX) is a member of the lipoxygenase family, which can catalyze a variety of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) to produce different metabolites, such as 12-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (12-HETE), 15-HETE, lipoxin (LX), hepoxilin, resolvin, protectin, and maresins. 12/15-LOX and its metabolites take part in inflammatory responses and mediate related signalling pathways, playing an essential role in various inflammatory diseases. So the definition, catalytic substrates, metabolites of 12/15-lipoxygenase, and their roles in inflammatory responses are reviewed in this article.
Selection of Optimum Internal Control Genes for RT-qPCR Analysis of Schisandra chinensis under Four Hormone Treatments

qRT-PCR technology is now one of the commonly used methods to study gene expression levels. The selection of accurate reference gene detection is an essential work before gene expressing analysis. In the current study, 8 candidate internal control genes (ACTIN, TUBA, GAPDH, UBC, MUB, TIP41, APX, and CAPA) were selected, and four statistical algorithms were used to evaluate their stability under different hormone treatments. The results confirmed that when using one internal control genes, TUBA emerged as the first ranking internal control gene in all experimental groups. When using two internal control genes, TUBA and MUB, were the most acceptable internal control genes for the GA3 treatment group; TUBA and GAPDH were identified as internal control genes in the IAA treatment group; TUBA and ACTIN were the most reliable combination in the ZT and ABA experimental groups; TUBA and TIP41 were recommended most suitable control genes in control group. Furthermore, the reliability of the internal control genes was further verified by the expression of GAG, a gene related to the development of Schisandra chinensis. The conclusion of this work will be helpful for the subsequent research on gene expression analysis of Schisandra chinensis.
The New Binary Pulsar and the Observation of Gravitational Spin Precession

The possibility of observing gravitational spin precession due to spin-orbit coupling in a binary pulsar system is considered. An analysis is presented which can aid in delineating the relevant physical effects from pulse-structure data. In this analysis, it is assumed that the pulsar radiation emanates from a cone whose axis is tilted with respect to the axis of rotation. It is found that the time-averaged pulse width and polarization sweep vary periodically with time and that this variation has a periodicity of the order of the spin-precession frequency averaged over a complete revolution. It is concluded that for an orbital period of about 180 years, it suffices to measure polarization data with an accuracy of a few parts in 100 over a period of six months to a year in order to uncover the effects of spin precession. The consistency of the analysis is checked, and the calculations are applied to a recently discovered binary pulsar.
Market integration across frozen tropical farmed fish fillets in the EU

Abstract This article presents the results of a market integration analysis in the European Union market of frozen fillets of subtropical farmed species based on imports of tilapia, pangasius and Nile perch. Market integration across countries and species has been tested using Johansen cointegration in order to deal with price series which have been found to be unit root and stationary in different cases. Results show different scenarios in which the prices of the three species are integrated but with a possible exception for tilapia.
Chtoucas pour les groupes r\'eductifs et param\'etrisation de Langlands globale

For any reductive group G over a global function field, we use the cohomology of G-shtukas with multiple modifications and the geometric Satake equivalence to prove the global Langlands correspondence for G in the direction "from automorphic to Galois". Moreover we obtain a canonical decomposition of the spaces of cuspidal automorphic forms indexed by global Langlands parameters. The proof does not rely at all on the Arthur-Selberg trace formula.
MIGRATION AND GROWTH OF PROTOPLANETARY EMBRYOS. I. CONVERGENCE OF EMBRYOS IN PROTOPLANETARY DISKS

According to the core accretion scenario, planets form in protostellar disks through the condensation of dust, coagulation of planetesimals, and emergence of protoplanetary embryos. At a few AU in a minimum mass nebula, embryos' growth is quenched by dynamical isolation due to the depletion of planetesimals in their feeding zone. However, embryos with masses (Mp) in the range of a few Earth masses (M⊕) migrate toward a transition radius between the inner viscously heated and outer irradiated regions of their natal disk. Their limiting isolation mass increases with the planetesimals surface density. When Mp > 10 M⊕, embryos efficiently accrete gas and evolve into cores of gas giants. We use a numerical simulation to show that despite stream line interference, convergent embryos essentially retain the strength of non-interacting embryos' Lindblad and corotation torques by their natal disks. In disks with modest surface density (or equivalently accretion rates), embryos capture each other in their mutual mean motion resonances and form a convoy of super-Earths. In more massive disks, they could overcome these resonant barriers to undergo repeated close encounters, including cohesive collisions that enable the formation of massive cores.
A Conversation with Kit Baum

As explained in the Editorial announcements at the start of this issue, the Stata Journal will be featuring various interviews with selected members of the Stata community in 2010, Stata's 25th anniversary year. In this issue, we start with an online interview, dated October 14, 2009, of Christopher F. “Kit” Baum, an economics professor at Boston College. Kit has been highly active as a Stata user since the 1990s, contributing as an author and associate editor to this journal and its predecessor, the Stata Technical Bulletin; as a much-downloaded Stata program author; as an author of two notable Stata-based texts; as a frequent participant on Statalist and at Users Group meetings in both the United States and several European countries; and as founder and maintainer for more than a decade of the SSC archive, which now contains many hundred user-written Stata packages. In this interview, he comments on how he got into Stata and adds his own speculations for the future.
INFRARED AND RADIO OBSERVATIONS OF A SMALL GROUP OF PROTOSTELLAR OBJECTS IN THE MOLECULAR CORE, L1251-C

We present a multi-wavelength observational study of a low-mass star-forming region, L1251-C, with observational results at wavelengths from the near-infrared to the millimeter. Spitzer Space Telescope observations confirmed that IRAS 22343+7501 is a small group of protostellar objects. The extended emission in the east–west direction with its intensity peak at the center of L1251A has been detected at 350 and 850 μm with the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory and James Clerk Maxwell telescopes, tracing dense envelope material around L1251A. The single-dish data from the Korean VLBI Network and TRAO telescopes show inconsistencies between the intensity peaks of several molecular emission lines and that of the continuum emission, suggesting complex distributions of molecular abundances around L1251A. The Submillimeter Array interferometer data, however, show intensity peaks of CO 2–1 and 13CO 2–1 located at the position of IRS 1, which is both the brightest source in the Infrared Array Camera image and the weakest source in the 1.3 mm dust-continuum map. IRS 1 is the strongest candidate for the driving source of the newly detected compact CO 2–1 outflow. Over the entire region (14′ × 14′) of L125l-C, 3 Class I and 16 Class II sources have been detected, including three young stellar objects (YSOs) in L1251A. A comparison between the average projected distance among the 19 YSOs in L1251-C and that among the 3 YSOs in L1251A suggests that L1251-C is an example of low-mass cluster formation where protostellar objects form in a small group.
Incidental fishing of Epinephelus itajara (Lichtenstein, 1822): the vulnerability of a critically endangered species of the Brazilian coast

Epinephelus itajara, popularly known as grouper, has a wide distribution and is considered the largest fish in the Atlantic Ocean. Behavioral characteristics allied to overfishing and degradation of marine habitats caused declines in E. itajara populations throughout the entire geographic distribution area. The goliath grouper is currently ranked on the IUCN RedList as Vulnerable in Global Status and Critically Endangered in the Gulf of Mexico. In Brazil, even with a fishing moratorium that has protected it since 2002, the species is categorized as critically endangered in the Red Book of the Instituto Chico Mendes de Conservação da Biodiversidade. Taking into account these factors and the information gap on the goliath grouper, this study addresses an account of an occasional “post mortem” encounter with a specimen on the edge of Pajuçara beach, Maceió - Alagoas. It was an adult individual, whose size was estimated at 1.6 m and 70 kg of body mass. This study also presents discussions about the conservation status of the species and the efficiency in the management of marine protected areas, revealing that even with many marine protection areas, incidental captures and port records are still recurrent on the Brazilian coast. This record highlights the need to reinforce inspections, in addition to suggesting that the management of these areas be more efficient, ensuring the reestablishment of grouper populations in the region.
Three-Dimensional Analysis Versus Two-Dimensional Slice-Based Analysis of CT for Measuring Femoral Torsion and Its Correlation to Passive Hip Range of Motion

Introduction Femoral torsion is an important anatomical consideration of the hip that has major implications on the natural motion of the hip joint. Similarly, it affects pathologic conditions of the hip, including femoroacetabular impingement, dysplasia, and/or microinstability. Femoral torsion is typically measured on two-dimensional (2D) axial CT cuts by creating the angle between the femoral neck and the posterior aspect of the ipsilateral femoral condyles. Position of the leg during imaging may affect 2D measurements. Three-dimensional (3D) analysis of a hip CT with inclusion of femoral alignment may portray the anatomy of the hip more accurately as compared to a 2D slice-based analysis of a hip CT scan. It is thought that femoral torsion measured using this system could be a more accurate and reliable means of measurement. The primary purpose of this study is to assess the differences in measuring femoral torsion with 3D modeling and analysis compared to the standard 2D slice-based approach on a CT scan. Secondarily, we attempt to determine how the passive range of motion of the hip correlates with femoral torsion measured using the 3D model versus the 2D model. Methods In a prospective cohort study of 20 patients, femoral torsion was assessed using both 2D analysis and 3D analysis. The differences between these measurements on each of the imaging modalities were compared. Additionally, each patient had the passive range of motion of their hip measured with a goniometer. The amount of internal and external rotation was measured with the hip in a neutral position and with the hip flexed to 90°. Acetabular version, combined version, and alpha angle were added to multivariate regression analysis to evaluate their effect versus femoral torsion alone. Results Femoral antetorsion measured using the standard 2D slice-based approach on CT scan was 22.1° (SD: 11.1°), which was higher (p<0.001) than that using 3D analysis (8.25°; SD: 10.5°). There was a strong correlation between femoral torsion measurements using 3D analysis and 2D analysis (R=0.91). Based on 3D analysis, there was a moderate correlation between femoral torsion and passive hip external rotation measured with the hip flexed to 90° (R=0.65, p<0.002) and with the hip in a neutral position (R=0.58, p<0.007). Conclusion There was a significant difference between femoral torsion measurements using the 3D analysis, which showed approximately 14° of less antetorsion on average. Additionally, rotation of the hip and femoral torsion was correlated to higher levels of antetorsion associated with more internal rotation of the hip.

Vacuum Rabi Splitting in Nanomechanical QED System with Nonlinear Resonator

Considering the intrinsic nonlinearity in a nanomechanical resonator coupled to a charge qubit, vacuum Rabi splitting effect is studied in a nanomechanical QED (qubit-resonator) system. A driven nonlinear Jaynes-Cummings model describes the dynamics of this qubit-resonator system. Using quantum regression theorem and master equation approach, we have calculated the two-time correlation spectrum analytically. In the weak driving limit, these analytical results clarify the influence of the driving strength and nonlinearity parameter on the correlation spectrum. Also, numerical calculations confirm these analytical results.
