Content Caching and Delivery in Wireless Radio Access Networks

Today’s mobile data traffic is dominated by content-oriented traffic. Caching popular contents at the network edge can alleviate network congestion and reduce content delivery latency. This paper provides a comprehensive and unified study of caching and delivery techniques in wireless radio access networks (RANs) with caches at all edge nodes (ENs) and user equipments (UEs). Three cache-aided RAN architectures are considered: RANs without fronthaul, with dedicated fronthaul, and with wireless fronthaul. It first reviews in a tutorial nature how caching facilitates interference management in these networks by enabling interference cancelation (IC), zero-forcing (ZF), and interference alignment (IA). Then, two new delivery schemes are presented. One is for RANs with dedicated fronthaul, which considers centralized cache placement at the ENs but both centralized and decentralized placement at the UEs. This scheme combines IA, ZF, and IC together with soft-transfer fronthauling. The other is for RANs with wireless fronthaul, which considers decentralized cache placement at all nodes. It leverages the broadcast nature of wireless fronthaul to fetch not only uncached but also cached contents to boost transmission cooperation among the ENs. The numerical results show that both schemes outperform existing results for a wide range of system parameters, thanks to the various caching gains obtained opportunistically.
Rotation Dynamics of a Galaxy with a Double Mass Distribution

The rotation dynamics of spiral galaxies is modeled using a sum of two mass distributions: a spherical bulge and a thin disk. The density functions representing these mass distributions are calculated from the total angular momentum of the galaxy and known rotation curves. When both bulge and disk density functions are assumed to be smooth and are given a value of zero beyond the edge of the galaxy, a unique solution is obtained. Moreover, the calculated density functions show that constant rotation curves are obtained from a nearly exponential luminosity profile with a dark matter distribution which follows that of the light emitting matter, without the need for modified Newtonian dynamics. Experimental detection of molecular hydrogen in spiral galaxies confirm the presence of a baryonic massive component consistent with the results obtained with this model. It is proposed that dark matter does not have to be exotic non-baryonic matter. Instead, it can be made of molecular hydrogen and condensed matter.
Instabilities of interacting electrons on the honeycomb bilayer

Institute for Theoretical Solid State Physics, RWTH Aachen University, D-52056 Aachenand JARA - FIT Fundamentals of Future Information Technology(Dated: December 22, 2011)We investigate the instabilities of interacting electrons on the honeycomb bilayer by means ofthe functional renormalization group for a range of interactions up to the third-nearest neighbor.Besides a novel instability toward a gapless charge-density wave we ﬁnd that using interactionparameters as determined by ab-initio calculations for graphene and graphite puts the system closeto the boundary between antiferromagnetic and quantum spin Hall instabilities. Importantly, theenergy scales for these instabilities are large such that imperfections and deviations from the basicmodel are expected to play a major role in real bilayer graphene, where interaction eﬀects seem tobe seen only at smaller scales. We therefore analyze how reducing the critical scale and small dopingof the layers aﬀect the instabilities.
Carrier-enhanced ferromagnetism in Ge1−xMnxTe

We have studied the dependence of magnetic properties on the carrier concentration of IV–VI diluted magnetic semiconductor Ge1−xMnxTe prepared by ionized-cluster beam technique. With increasing carrier concentration, the magnetic properties drastically change; saturation magnetization increases and coercive field decreases in hysteresis loop, and the Curie temperature increases. These results obviously show carrier-enhanced ferromagnetic order. The similar effect is also observed in magnetoresistance behavior.
Quantum reflection and interference of matter waves from periodically doped surfaces

We show that periodically doped, flat surfaces can act as reflective diffraction gratings for atomic and molecular matter waves. The diffraction element is realized by exploiting that charged dopants locally suppress quantum reflection from the Casimir-Polder potential. We present a general quantum scattering theory for reflection off periodically charged surfaces and discuss the requirements for the observation of multiple diffraction peaks.
Differential Quadrature Method for Fully Intrinsic Equations of Geometrically Exact Beams

In this paper, a differential quadrature method of high-order precision (DQ−Pade), which is equivalent to the generalized Pade approximation for approximating the end of a time or spatial interval, is used to solve nonlinear fully intrinsic equations of beams. The equations are a set of first-order differential equations with respect to time and space, and the explicit unknowns of the equations involve only forces, moments, velocity and angular velocity, without displacements and rotations. Based on the DQ−Pade method, the spatial and temporal discrete forms of fully intrinsic equations were derived. To verify the effectiveness and applicability of the proposed method for discretizing the fully intrinsic equations, different examples available in the literatures were considered. It was found that when using the DQ−Pade method, the solutions of the intrinsic beam equations are obviously superior to those found by some other usual algorithms in efficiency and computational accuracy.
Genetic Overlap Analysis Identifies a Shared Etiology between Migraine and Headache with Type 2 Diabetes

Migraine and headache frequently co-occur with type 2 diabetes (T2D), suggesting a shared aetiology between the two conditions. We used genome-wide association study (GWAS) data to investigate the genetic overlap and causal relationship between migraine and headache with T2D. Using linkage disequilibrium score regression (LDSC), we found a significant genetic correlation between migraine and T2D (rg = 0.06, p = 1.37 × 10−5) and between headache and T2D (rg = 0.07, p = 3.0 × 10−4). Using pairwise GWAS (GWAS-PW) analysis, we identified 11 pleiotropic regions between migraine and T2D and 5 pleiotropic regions between headache and T2D. Cross-trait SNP meta-analysis identified 23 novel SNP loci (Pmeta < 5 × 10−8) associated with migraine and T2D, and three novel SNP loci associated with headache and T2D. Cross-trait gene-based overlap analysis identified 33 genes significantly associated (Pgene-based < 3.85 × 10−6) with migraine and T2D, and 11 genes associated with headache and T2D, with 7 genes (EHMT2, SLC44A4, PLEKHA1, CFDP1, TMEM170A, CHST6, and BCAR1) common between them. There was also a significant overlap of genes nominally associated (Pgene-based < 0.05) with both migraine and T2D (Pbinomial-test = 2.83 × 10−46) and headache and T2D (Pbinomial-test = 4.08 × 10−29). Mendelian randomisation (MR) analyses did not provide consistent evidence for a causal relationship between migraine and T2D. However, we found headache was causally associated (inverse-variance weighted, ORIVW = 0.90, Pivw = 7 × 10−3) with T2D. Our findings robustly confirm the comorbidity of migraine and headache with T2D, with shared genetically controlled biological mechanisms contributing to their co-occurrence, and evidence for a causal relationship between headache and T2D.
Testing the Copernican and Cosmological Principles in the local universe with galaxy surveys

Cosmological density fields are assumed to be translational and rotational invariant, avoiding any special point or direction, thus satisfying the Copernican Principle. A spatially inhomogeneous matter distribution can be compatible with the Copernican Principle but not with the stronger version of it, the Cosmological Principle which requires the additional hypothesis of spatial homogeneity. We establish criteria for testing that a given density field, in a finite sample at low redshifts, is statistically and/or spatially homogeneous. The basic question to be considered is whether a distribution is, at different spatial scales, self-averaging. This can be achieved by studying the probability density function of conditional fluctuations. We find that galaxy structures in the SDSS samples, the largest currently available, are spatially inhomogeneous but statistically homogeneous and isotropic up to ∼ 100 Mpc/h. Evidences for the breaking of self-averaging are found up to the largest scales probed by the SDSS data. The comparison between the results obtained in volumes of different size allows us to unambiguously conclude that the lack of self-averaging is induced by finite-size effects due to long-range correlated fluctuations. We finally discuss the relevance of these results from the point of view of cosmological modeling.
Reproductive niche differentiation in syntopic tropical tree frogs (Agalychnis)

Small differences in syntopic Agalychnis callidryas and A. spurrelli oviposition sites and embryo predation via snakes and invertebrates provide context for a previously unexplainable difference in embryonic behavioral risk responses. Correlations in reproductive and ecological traits suggest directional selection in the syntopic populations of these species. [Correction added on 10 November 2022: The abstract was updated to clarify that there was only one difference. The words character displacement were replaced by directional selection. ]
Three-dimensional hydrodynamic instabilities in stellar core collapses

A spherically symmetric hydrodynamic stellar core collapse process under gravity is time-dependent and may become unstable once disturbed. Subsequent non-linear evolutions of such growth of hydrodynamic instabilities may lead to various physical consequences. Specifically for a homologous collapse of a stellar core characterized by a polytropic exponent Γ= 4/3, we examine oscillations and/or instabilities of three-dimensional (3D) general polytropic perturbations. Being incompressible, the radial component of vorticity perturbation always grows unstably during the same homologous core collapse. For compressible 3D perturbations, the polytropic index γ of perturbations can differ from Γ= 4/3 of the general polytropic hydrodynamic background flow, where the background specific entropy is conserved along streamlines and can vary in radius and time. Our model formulation here is more general than previous ones. The Brunt–Vaisala buoyancy frequency does not vanish, allowing for the existence of internal gravity g− modes and/or g+ modes, depending on the sign of respectively. Eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of various oscillatory and unstable perturbation modes are computed, given asymptotic boundary conditions. As studied in several specialized cases of Goldreich & Weber and of Lou & Cao and Cao & Lou, we further confirm that acoustic p modes and surface f modes remain stable in the current more general situations. In comparison, g− modes and sufficiently high radial order g+ modes are unstable, leading to inevitable convective motions within the collapsing stellar interior; meanwhile, sufficiently low radial order g+ modes remain stably trapped in the collapsing core. Unstable growths of 3D g-mode disturbances are governed dominantly by the angular momentum conservation and modified by the gas pressure restoring force. We note in particular that unstable temporal growths of 3D vortical perturbations exist even when the specific entropy distribution becomes uniform and γ=Γ= 4/3. Conceptually, unstable g modes might bear conceivable physical consequences on supernova explosions, the initial kicks of nascent proto-neutron stars of as high as up to and breakups of the collapsing core, while unstable growths of vortical perturbations can lead to fast spins of compact objects, 3D vortical convections inside the collapsing core for possible magnetohydrodynamic dynamo actions on seed magnetic fields, and the generation of Rossby waves further stimulated by gravitational wave emissions.
Antifungal Combinations against Candida Species: From Bench to Bedside

Candida spp. is the major causative agent of fungal infections in hospitalized patients and the fourth most common cause of nosocomial bloodstream infection (BSI). The availability of standardized methods for testing the in vitro activity of antifungals along with the expanding of antifungal armamentarium, the rising of drug-resistance and the persistence of a high mortality rate in systemic candidiasis have led to an increased interest in combination therapy. Therefore, we aimed to review the scientific literature concerning the antifungal combinations against Candida. A literature search performed in PubMed yielded 92 studies published from 2000 to 2021: 29 articles referring to in vitro studies, six articles referring to either in vitro and in vivo (i.e., animal models) studies and 57 clinical articles. Pre-clinical studies involved 735 isolates of Candida species and 12 unique types of antifungal combination approaches including azoles plus echinocandins (19%), polyenes plus echinocandins (16%), polyenes plus azoles (13%), polyenes plus 5-flucytosine ([5-FC], 13%), azoles plus 5-FC (11%) and other types of combinations (28%). Results varied greatly, often being species-, drug- and methodology-dependent. Some combinatorial regimens exerted a synergistic effect against difficult-to-treat Candida species (i.e., azoles plus echinocandins; polyenes plus 5-FC) or they were more effective than monotherapy in prevent or reducing biofilm formation and in speeding the clearance of infected tissues (i.e., polyenes plus echinocandins). In 283 patients with documented Candida infections (>90% systemic candidiasis/BSI), an antifungal combination approach could be evaluated. Combinations included: azoles plus echinocandins (36%), 5-FC-combination therapies (24%), polyenes plus azoles (18%), polyenes plus echinocandins (16%) and other types of combination therapy (6%). Case reports describing combination therapies yielded favorable response in most cases, including difficult-to-treat fungal infections (i.e., endocarditis, osteoarticular infections, CNS infections) or difficult-to-treat fungal pathogens. The only randomized trial comparing amphotericin-B deoxycholate (AMB) plus FLU vs. AMB alone for treatment of BSI in nonneutropenic patients showed that the combination trended toward improved success and more-rapid clearance from the bloodstream. In summary, antifungal combinations against Candida have produced great interest in the past two decades. To establish whether this approach can become a reliable treatment option, additional in vitro and clinical data are warranted.
Dietary Stevia Residue Extract Supplementation Improves Antioxidant Capacity and Intestinal Microbial Composition of Weaned Piglets

This study aimed to investigate the effects of diet supplementation with stevia residue extract (SRE) on growth performance, intestinal health, and antioxidant capacity of weaned piglets. A total of 144 weaned piglets (body weight 6.8 ± 0.5 kg) were randomly selected and allocated into four treatment groups with six replicates of six pigs/pen. The treatments consisted of a basal diet without SRE or basal diet supplemented with 100, 200, or 400 mg/kg SRE. The results showed that the addition of 200 mg/kg SRE to the diet significantly reduced (p < 0.05) the diarrhea rate of piglets compared with the control group. The supplementation of 400 mg/kg SRE in the diet significantly reduced the piglets’ serum MDA content and significantly increased (p < 0.05) the T-AOC, T-SOD, and GSH-PX activity in the serum. The dietary supplementation with 400 mg/kg SRE significantly increased (p < 0.05) the CAT and GSH-PX activity in the liver. Moreover, the supplementation of 400 mg/kg SRE in the diet significantly increased (p < 0.05) the relative abundance of Prevotellaceae (genus) and Roseburia (genus) beneficial bacteria compared to the control group. Spearman’s correlation analysis showed that Prevotella (genus) abundance was positively correlated with liver GSH-PX activity and acetic acid content of colon contents. In conclusion, the supplementation of 400 mg/kg SRE to the diet can improve piglet health by regulating antioxidant reduction homeostasis, which may also be associated with an increase in the relative numbers of potentially beneficial bacteria.

“Happy to close?” The relationship between surgical experience and incisional hernia rates following abdominal wall closure in colorectal surgery

Incisional hernia (IH) is a common complication of colorectal surgery, affecting up to 30% of patients at 2 years. Given the associated morbidity and high recurrence rates after attempted repair of IH, emphasis should be placed on prevention. There is an association between surgeon volume and outcomes in hernia surgery, yet there is little evidence regarding impact of the seniority of the surgeon performing abdominal wall closure on IH rate. The aim of our study was to assess the rates of IH at 1 year following abdominal wall closure between junior and senior surgeons in patients undergoing elective colorectal surgery.
Propagation of a Tsunami wave

FreeFem++ is an open source platform to solve partial differential equations numerically, based on finite element methods. The use of this software simplify also the construction of the domain in particular, one of the advantage of FreeFem++ is that we can build a mesh through a photo and we can easily export bathymetric data in order to consider more realistic simulations. We consider, in this paper, the BBM-BBM Boussinesq system with a variable bottom in space and try this system, first, using the mesh generated through a photo of the Mediterranean sea, then using the mesh generated through an xyz bathymetry for the East part of the Mediterranean sea.
Characterization of cycle domains via Kobayashi hyperbolicity

(Caracterisation de domaines de cycles par l'hyperbolicite au sens de Kobayashi) Une forme reelle G d'un groupe de Lie semi-simple G C n'admet qu'un nombre fini d'orbites dans toute C C -variete de drapeaux Z = C C /Q. La geometrie complexe de ces orbites est interessante, par exemple pour la theorie de la representation associee. Les fonctions holomorphes sur les orbites ouvertes D de G sont constantes en general; les objets geometriques importants lies a ces orbites sont des sous-varietes complexes de D de dimension positives qui, a quelques rares exceptions bien comprises, sont parametrees par les domaines de cycles de Wolf Ω W (D) ∈ G C /K C , ou K est un sous-groupe maximal compact de G. Alors, pour les domaines D dans les varietes ambiantes Z, il est possible de comparer les domaines de cycles Ω W (D). Le resultat principal de cet article, aux exceptions pres mentionnees ci-dessus, est que pour une forme reelle G fixee, les domaines Ω W (D) sont les memes. Ils sont egaux a un domaine universel Ω AG, qui est canonique du point de vue d'actions de groupe et qui peut etre essentiellement calcule. Le resultat technique important est que tout domaine de Stein hyperbolique au sens de Kobayashi Ω qui contient Ω AG est egal a Ω AG . L'egalite des domaines de cycles s'ensuit du fait que chaque Ω W (D) est lui-meme de Stein, hyperbolique et contient Ω AG .
Updated Outlook of Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy and Inflammatory Subtypes: Pathophysiology, Clinical Manifestations, Diagnosis and Management

Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is a common untreatable cause of lobar hemorrhages and cognitive decline in the older population. Subset of patients present with its inflammatory subtype with rapid decline in cognitive functions and neurological deficits. Most commonly the underlying pathophysiology of this disease is deposition of insoluble amyloid protein into blood vessel walls which results in vessel fragility leading to local neurotoxicity which may eventually leads to lobar hemorrhages and cognitive decline. The term “Amyloid Spell” encompasses transient focal neurological deficits which is commonly misdiagnosed as seizures or transient ischemic attack in the emergency department. Radiologic findings in these patients may reveal microbleeds, cortical superficial siderosis, white matter hyperintensities, and cerebral edema which support the clinical diagnosis which could be otherwise challenging. CAA diagnostic criteria require CT (Edinburgh Criteria) or MRI imaging, or neuropathology. The diagnosis can be suspected without imaging or neuropathology but cannot be confirmed. This review article provides a critical outlook on different types of presentations, updated diagnostic criteria and management of CAA patients illustrating underlying mechanisms associated with neuronal injury secondary to amyloid deposition.
Real singlet scalar dark matter extension of the Georgi-Machacek model

The Georgi-Machacek model extends the Standard Model Higgs sector with the addition of isospin-triplet scalar fields in such a way as to preserve the custodial symmetry. The presence of higher-isospin scalars contributing to electroweak symmetry breaking offers the interesting possibility that the couplings of the 125 GeV Higgs boson to both gluons and vector boson pairs could be larger than those of the Standard Model Higgs boson. Constraining this possibility using measurements of Higgs production and decay at the CERN Large Hadron Collider is notoriously problematic if a new, non-Standard Model decay mode of the 125 GeV Higgs boson is present. We study an implementation of this scenario in which the Georgi-Machacek model is extended by a real singlet scalar dark matter candidate, and require that the singlet scalar account for all the dark matter in the universe. The combination of the observed dark matter relic density and direct detection constraints exclude singlet scalar masses below about 57 GeV. Higgs measurements are not yet precise enough to be very sensitive to $h\rightarrow SS$ in the remaining allowed kinematic region, so that constraints from Higgs measurements are so far the same as in the GM model without a singlet scalar. We also find that, above the Higgs pole, a substantial region of parameter space yielding the correct dark matter relic density can escape the near-future direct detection experiments DEAP and XENON~1T for dark matter masses as low as 120 GeV and even have a direct detection cross section below the neutrino floor for $m_S\gtrsim 150$ GeV. This is in contrast to the singlet scalar dark matter extension of the Standard Model, for which these future experiments are expected to exclude dark matter masses above the Higgs pole up to the multi-TeV range.
