Exogenous Ochronosis: Characterizing a Rare Disorder in Skin of Color

Exogenous ochronosis is a rare dyschromia that primarily impacts those with skin of color. It is characterized by blue–black pigmentation and is associated with the long-term application of skin-lightening creams containing hydroquinone. Commonly confused with other dyschromias, the use of skin lightening topicals can cause paradoxical skin darkening in patients with known exogenous ochronosis. This is highly distressing to patients, often worsening the underlying dyschromia and making treatment more difficult. A 10-year retrospective analysis was conducted that revealed 25 patients with exogenous ochronosis. The average patient used a skin lightening cream for 9.2 years, with exogenous ochronosis most commonly arising on the cheeks (68%), forehead (24%), and temples (20%). Furthermore, this study identified that patients with exogenous ochronosis may respond well to treatment with Q-switched Alexandrite laser and microneedling. The incidence of exogenous ochronosis is likely to increase as demographics shift and access to a wide range of over-the-counter topicals becomes more available, both in the United States and worldwide. Therefore, it is imperative to better characterize exogenous ochronosis to identify best treatment practices for all patients.
How do you Meme Trump, Noah? Shaping a New Memescape in The Daily Show with Trevor Noah (January 2016 – December 2019)

With The Daily Show’s popularity for late-night televised political satire, the infotainment genre has progressively turned into a major venue for mass-mediated political discourse in the US. Arguably, the show employs creative political memes in tandem with a plethora of multimodal strategies that all function in collegiality in revival of a journalism of critical inquiry showcasing how political dissent is negotiated and mitigated. Set against this backdrop, this paper argues for a new conceptualization of “digital memes” to incorporate the visuals integrated in talk show monologues. These visuals have undergone a shift from being merely “aesthetic-expressive” graphics to share many of the internet meme’s features and hence make them mount to be a sub-genre of memes. More specifically, the study extends scholarship on political memes proposing a more nuanced methodological and analytical framework premised on meme-inherent news values and host-specific converging communication accommodation strategies. The paper is an attempt to introduce an inclusive approach that draws on various perspectives that can do better justice to the rich complexity inherent to memes. For the purpose, a corpus of 235 meme instances from January 2016 to December 2019 in The Daily Show with Trevor Noah’s entertainment-based, ideologically-driven political commentary was examined. This is to capture how the intervention of memetic aesthetics in the topical monologue of the show as far as Trump’s administration is concerned can alter the trajectory of political satire. Findings showcase that the emerging memes in the late-night show, particularly image macro memes, have superseded late-night television as the leading edge of political satire.
On the boundary layer development and heat transfer from a sphere at moderate Reynolds numbers

Direct and large-eddy numerical simulations have been performed for a heated sphere at Reynolds numbers 200, 300, 500, 750, 1000 and 104, in the context of the development of a spherical wind sensor for Mars atmosphere intended for missions after Rover 2020. A lowdissipation ? nite element scheme implemented in the multi-physics code Alya has been used to do so. The main heat transfer and aerodynamic parameters are presented, followed by detailed analysis of the wake and boundary layer development and the local heat transfer coe? cients. Viscous and thermal boundary layer thicknesses decrease with the Reynolds number, the thermal one being thicker than the viscous layer. However, in all cases shape factor is the same in the zone with the favourable pressure gradient. The local Nusselt number is found to be asymmetric in the rear zone of the sphere for the laminar cases and recover its statistical symmetry once the wake transition to turbulent ? ow. It is also found that the stagnation Nusselt number scales as Re0.47, in fair agreement with previous studies.
Anthracnose Resistance in Legumes for Cropping System Diversification

Abstract Anthracnose, caused by hemibiotrophic Colletotrichum spp. , is a destructive disease of legumes and many other crops worldwide. Colletotrichum spp. constitute one of the top 10 phytopathogenic fungi, infecting ∼3,000 plant species, attacking food and forage legume crops at all growth stages; including seed, seedlings, young, and mature plants; with consequent significant yield reductions. Presently, cultural practices and substantial use of synthetic fungicides are the most prevalent approaches for anthracnose management. In addition, there has been a strong focus toward developing advanced breeding lines and cultivars with improved anthracnose resistance. This has involved traditional breeding resulting in a wide range of anthracnose resistance resources being identified, particularly using advanced techniques within the common bean, soybean, lentil, mungbean, blackgram, and lupins. For instance, quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for resistance have been identified, enabling marker-assisted resistance breeding. More recently, molecular approaches; including genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics; have been utilized to understand the pathogenesis and defense mechanisms involved in the Colletotrichum-legume interaction. Genetic manipulation through omics offers scope to better protect legumes from anthracnose by improving the efficiency of breeding programs. This review focuses on key pathogens (viz., C. truncatum, C. lentis, C. lupini, and C. lindemuthianum) causing anthracnose in legumes, their biology, and epidemiology, the disease management levers embracing progress with host resistance, genetic and breeding approaches, and highlights critical knowledge gaps in conventional and molecular breeding programs. We conclude that the ongoing progress toward developing breeding lines/cultivars/donors with improved resistance in legume plant responses against anthracnose using omics approaches offers novel insights into legume-anthracnose pathogen interactions and ensures more sustainable and effective disease management strategies for the future.
An existence theorem for a fractional stochastic optimal control problem

Abstract A new criterion functional for stochastic optimal control problems, that is, a fractional criterion is introduced. The state is governed by a system of stochastic differential equations. In order to characterize the optimal value of our problem, the parametric method which is well-known in the fractional programming of the mathematical programming is developed. Finally the efficiency of the Dinkelbach algorithm is discussed.
Follow up duration of phase III Multiple Myeloma Clinical Trials: A systematic review

Long‐term follow‐up of multiple myeloma (MM) clinical trials are needed to assess long‐term outcomes. We aimed to investigate the length of follow‐up of all phase III MM clinical trials. Median follow‐up duration of clinical trials of newly diagnosed MM was longer when compared to relapsed/refractory MM clinical trials (42.7 vs. 20.5 months, respectively). The follow‐up duration of phase III clinical trials in MM is relatively short when compared to the improved outcomes in the current era. Efforts should be made to facilitate long‐term clinical trials follow‐up and/or publication of results of updated results.
Spatial Outlier Detection Algorithm for Trajectory Data

Trajectories are spatiotemporal data generated by moving objects containing the spatial position of object at various time intervals. GPS devices record this information and it is possible to construct trajectory of moving objects for analysis. Outlier analysis of trajectories is done to identify abnormal activities like intrusion detection, fraud detection, fault detection and rate event detection. In this paper, Trajectory Outlier Detection algorithm using Boundary (TODB) is proposed using a boundary construction algorithm and a binary classifier. In TODB, Convex Hull algorithm is used to construct the boundary and ray casting algorithm is used to build the binary classifier. TODB is tested for its accuracy using real world data sets. Experimental results on real world data sets demonstrate that TODB correctly classify normal and outlier trajectories. Keywords—GPS,Trajectory; Spatial Outlier Detection; Convex hull algorithm;Classification
Exploring the Applicability of Spectral Recovery in Semantic Segmentation of RGB Images

Compared with RGB images, hyperspectral images (HSIs) offer a distinct advantage in that they can record continuous spectral bands of light reflectance in each pixel, reflecting the physical and chemical characteristics of materials. This capability enables differentiation between objects that may have similar textures but different spectral characteristics. It is desirable to recover spectral information from RGB images to improve semantic segmentation accuracy. Additionally, semantic information can serve as a guide for spectral information recovery, thereby ensuring the quality of the recovered spectral information. The two tasks are mutually beneficial in this regard. In light of these considerations, we propose a multi-task framework that exploits the complementary relationship between spectral recovery and semantic segmentation tasks, comprising a complementary spectral-semantic attentive fusion model (CSSF) that enables the two tasks to mutually facilitate each other by fusing information from both branches. Specifically, the proposed CSSF incorporates a window-based spectral-semantic attentive fusion (WSSAF) module to incorporate recovered spectral information into the segmentation process effectively, and a pixel-shuffle-based fusion (PSF) module to provide semantic guidance for spectral recovery. To evaluate the effectiveness of our approach, we built the first flower hyperspectral image dataset (FHRS) with corresponding segmentation annotations and RGB images. By doing so, we have made the first attempt to explore the complementary relationship between semantic segmentation and spectral recovery. Experimental results on both the FHRS dataset and the publicly available LIB-HSI dataset demonstrate that our proposed method has the ability to enhance both tasks by utilizing their complementary relationship, indicating the generalization ability of our method.
Investigation of Severe risk by a Combined Fuzzy AHP and TOPSIS Approach – A Case Study

Abstract: Every manufacturing industry must be giving more importance for safety. It is very impertinent to identify the most risk problems to take necessary action for safety. By knowing its risks severity, then they can make smart decisions about how to manage risk. In this work a combined Fuzzy AHP-TOPSIS approach is proposed to analysing of severity in risk, it is very useful tool in decision making criterion. This analysis discussed, a risk priority number (RPN) can find for each risk and failure modes, by three risk factors: severity (S), occurrence (O), and detect ability (D) are evaluated. In this paper a combined Fuzzy AHP – TOPSIS is used to find severity of risk for the equipment of MMSM department in steel making shop and suggested corrective actions for De-Scalar area, Oil cellars and Crane operations.
New Firm Creation in the United States: A PSED I Overview

The first US Panel Study of Entrepreneurial Dynamics [PSED I] is the most comprehensive assessment of the firm creation process yet completed. Based on a representative sample of those actively involved in business creation, analysis begins with the consideration of 75 factors that may affect the decision of adults to get involved in the creation of a new business, followed by a detailed exploration of over 130 factors that may be associated with completing the start-up process with a new firm. The results indicate, first, that over ten million persons are involved in the firm start-up phase as nascent entrepreneurs. Second, the major factors associated with entry into the start-up process have little impact on completion of the process with an operating business. Third, activities pursued in the start-up process – not the characteristics of the entrepreneur, the start-up, or the location – have a major impacts on the transition from start-up to a successful new firm. There is little impact associated with being male; being White, Black or Hispanic; having more education; being wealthy; having experience with other start-ups; having an "entrepreneurial personality"; or being in a supportive environment. This project demonstrates the value of tracking a representative sample of nascent entrepreneurs with a longitudinal study. Implications for future research, entrepreneurs, and public policy are substantial.

Mean-Field and Quantum Interactions of Strongly Confined Exciton-Polaritons

In this dissertation, we report on quantum optics experiments in a cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED) setting. In particular, we study the interactions of quantum well (QW) exciton-polaritons in hybrid dielectric-semiconductor microcavities. A carbon dioxide (CO2) laser-based fabrication technique is used to create zerodimensional polariton boxes in a highly flexible fiber cavity setup at cryogenic temperatures. We verify that this approach creates strong optical mode confinement with a confinement area of π × 1 μm2 effectively boosting polaritonic interactions. Using frequencyand time-domain measurements, we also report long cavity lifetimes of almost 40 ps, mainly limited by the semiconductor. The large degree of tunability of the fiber cavity setup as well as the favorable ratio of nonlinearity compared to the polariton decay rate allows us to investigate different scenarios: Upon tuning the experimental parameters, we can go from a regime with vanishing polariton interactions and negligible quantum fluctuations to one where quantum fluctuations are the dominant source of noise. Photon correlation measurements are established as a tool to measure the Liouvillian eigenspectrum dictating the dynamics of the driven-dissipative system over this whole range. Approaching the thermodynamic limit with diverging particle number, we demonstrate the critical slowing down of the system dynamics by more than nine orders of magnitude compared to the intrinsic decay rate as it undergoes a first-order dissipative phase transition (DPT).
Error and stability analysis of numerical solution for the time fractional nonlinear Schrödinger equation on scattered data of general‐shaped domains

In present work, a kind of spectral meshless radial point interpolation (SMRPI) technique is applied to the time fractional nonlinear Schrödinger equation in regular and irregular domains. The applied approach is based on erudite combination of meshless methods and spectral collocation techniques. The point interpolation method with the help of radial basis functions is used to construct shape functions which play as basis functions in the frame of SMRPI. It is proved the scheme is unconditionally stable with respect to the time variable in L 2 and also convergent by the order of convergence O ( δ t 2 − α ) , 0 < α < 1 . In the current work, the thin plate spline are used as the basis functions and to eliminate the nonlinearity, a simple predictor‐corrector (P‐C) scheme is performed. It is shown that the SMRPI solution, as a complex function, is suitable one for the time fractional nonlinear Schrödinger equation. The results of numerical experiments are compared to analytical solutions to confirm the reliable treatment of these stable solutions. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Severe Hypokalemia Complicated by Acute Myopathy: Initial Manifestation of Primary Sjögren’s Syndrome-Associated Renal Tubular Acidosis

Patient: Female, 35-year-old Final Diagnosis: Primary Sjögren’s syndrome • primary Sjögren’s syndrome-associated renal tubular acidosis Symptoms: Pain • weakness Clinical Procedure: — Specialty: Critical Care Medicine Objective: Rare coexistence of disease or pathology Background: Severe hypokalemia, which often causes life-threatening malignant arrhythmias, is usually first diagnosed in the Emergency Department (ED). It is important to note that hypokalemia is often closely and complexly related to renal tubular acidosis (RTA) associated with autoimmune diseases such as Sjögren’s syndrome (SS), especially in females with acute myopathy or acute liver injury (ALI). Severe hypokalemia can directly cause muscle injury, which can lead to hyper-creatine kinaseemia (HCK) and ALI, while SS can also directly cause hypokalemia, HCK, and even ALI and renal tubular/interstitial injury. Therefore, by reporting a rare case of SS-associated RTA (SS-RTA), we systematically reviewed the relationship between SS-RTA and severe hypokalemia, which may be beneficial to increase attention on this topic. Case Report: A 35-year-old female patient who presented to the ED primarily for limb weakness symptoms was initially diagnosed with severe hypokalemia, acute myopathy, and ALI. She was eventually diagnosed with primary SS (pSS) and SS-RTA, although she did not present with the typical dry mouth, dry eyes, and other clinical manifestations of SS. Conclusions: Severe hypokalemia is a serious life-threatening emergency, and although the differential diagnosis is very broad, we should be aware of RTA associated with autoimmune diseases such as SS in female patients, especially when combined with clinical manifestations such as acute myopathy and ALI that cannot be explained by other causes. Simultaneously, we hope to be able to guide emergency physicians encountering similar patients to complete the diagnostic and therapeutic process.

Laplacien discret d'un 2-complexe simplicial

Cette these donne un cadre general pour les Laplaciens definis en termes de structure combinatoire d’un complexe simplicial. Plus precisement, nous introduisons la notion de face triangle orientee dans un graphe connexe, oriente et localement fini. Cette structure de 2-complexe simplicial permet de definir notre Laplacien discret qui agit sur les triplets de fonctions, 1-formes et 2-formes. Dans ce contexte, nous nous interessons a l’etude du caractere essentiellement auto-adjoint de notre Laplacien. Pour cela, on introduit l’hypothese geometrique de x-completude sur les tiangulations pour garantir le caractere essentiellement auto-adjoint a l’operateur de Gaus-Bonnet. Cette these traite egalement de questions de theorie spectrale des triangulations finies portant sur notre Laplacien. Nous trouvons une estimation pour le trou spectral du Laplacien superieur dans une triangulation d’un graphe complet pour lequel nous generalisons la definition de la constante de Cheeger qui nous donne une majoration explicite. En outre, nous obtenons une minoration de cette estimation par la premiere valeur propre non nulle du Laplacien discret defini sur l’espace des fonctions sur les sommets.
Anthropometric characteristic, somatotype, and body composition of Indian Female Combat Sport Athletes: A comparison between Boxers, Judokas, and Wrestlers

Introduction: The aim of this study was:1) to ascertain the anthropometric characteristics of Indian female combat athletes and 2) to determine and compare the sport-specific (boxing, judo, and wrestling) somatotype of Indian female combat athletes. Method: Ninety-nine national level female combat sports athletes (40 Boxers, 25 Judokas, and 34 Wrestlers who regularly compete in national and/or international competitions, took part in the study. Anthropometric measurements were performed for body mass, stature, 7 skinfold sites, 3 girths, and 2 breadths. Somatotypes for all subjects were also calculated. All measurements were statistically analyzed using pairwise comparison analysis and differences between groups were also compared. Results: Significant differences between boxing and judo for the mean value of BMI. Pairwise comparison analysis revealed significant differences in the mesomorphy component between boxing and judo (p = 0.001; 95% CI: -1.83 – -0.40) and between boxing and wrestling (p = 0.001; 95% CI: -1.69 – -0.39); as well as in the ectomorphy component between boxing and judo (p = 0.009; 95% CI: 0.16 – 1.35) and between boxing and wrestling (p = 0.007; 95% CI: 0.17 – 1.25). Conclusion: There are significant differences in anthropometric characteristics when analyzing the somatotype of Indian female combat athletes which could be attributed to the specific demands of each sport. Sport-specific training programmes that consider the anthropometric characteristics and somatotype of female athletes participating in Boxing, Judo and Wrestling should be considered by practitioners and coaches.
