Making (dark matter) waves: Untangling wave interference for multi-streaming dark matter

The classical dynamics of collisionless cold dark matter, commonly described by ﬂuid variables or a phase-space distribution, can be captured in a single semiclassical wavefunction. We illustrate how classical multi-streaming creates wave interference in a toy model corresponding to the dynamics of the Zel’dovich approximation and link it to diﬀraction optics. Wave interference dresses the classical skeleton of cold dark matter with universal features akin to the physical imprints of wavelike (or fuzzy) dark matter. We untangle this wave interference to obtain single-stream wavefunctions corresponding to the classical ﬂuid streams, by writing the wavefunction in an integral form. Our wave decomposition captures the full phase-space information and isolates the multi-stream phenomena related to vorticity and velocity dispersion. We link the wave interference features of our system to the standard forms of diﬀraction catastrophe integrals, which produce bright caustics in optical ﬁelds analogous to the cold dark matter density ﬁeld. Our two complementary descriptions of dark matter wave-ﬁelds present rich universal features that can unlock new ways of modelling and probing wavelike dark matter on the scales of the cosmic web.
Signatures of regular black holes from the shadow of Sgr A* and M87*

With the recent release of the black hole image of Sgr A* alongside the earlier image of M87*, one can now really hope to acquire a better understanding of the gravitational physics at the horizon scale. In this paper, we investigate the prospect of the regular black hole scenario with a Minkowski core in explaining the observed shadow of M87* and Sgr A*. Regular black holes generally appear in Einstein gravity coupled to non-linear electrodynamics and are interesting as they can evade the r = 0 curvature singularity arising in general relativity. Using the previously determined mass and distance we compute the observables associated with the black hole shadow. These when compared with the observed angular diameter reveals that the shadow of M87* and Sgr A* favor the regular black hole scenario with a small but non-zero charge. The implications are discussed.
Classifying Unstructured Clinical Notes via Automatic Weak Supervision

Healthcare providers usually record detailed notes of the clinical care delivered to each patient for clinical, research, and billing purposes. Due to the unstructured nature of these narratives, providers employ dedicated staff to assign diagnostic codes to patients' diagnoses using the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) coding system. This manual process is not only time-consuming but also costly and error-prone. Prior work demonstrated potential utility of Machine Learning (ML) methodology in automating this process, but it has relied on large quantities of manually labeled data to train the models. Additionally, diagnostic coding systems evolve with time, which makes traditional supervised learning strategies unable to generalize beyond local applications. In this work, we introduce a general weakly-supervised text classification framework that learns from class-label descriptions only, without the need to use any human-labeled documents. It leverages the linguistic domain knowledge stored within pre-trained language models and the data programming framework to assign code labels to individual texts. We demonstrate the efficacy and flexibility of our method by comparing it to state-of-the-art weak text classifiers across four real-world text classification datasets, in addition to assigning ICD codes to medical notes in the publicly available MIMIC-III database.
NIPS Workshop: Advances in Acoustic Models

We discuss the cognitive components of speech at different time scales. We investigate cognitive features of speech including phoneme, gender, height, speaker identity. Integration by feature stacking based on short time MFCCs. Our hypothesis is basically ecological: we assume that features that essentially independent in a reasonable ensemble can be efﬁciently coded using a sparse independent component representation. This means that supervised and unsupervised learning should result in similar representations. We do indeed ﬁnd that supervised and unsupervised learning of a model based on identical representations have closely corresponding abilities as classiﬁers.
Vertebral Artery Dissection Associated with Bathing: A Case Report

Vertebral Artery Dissection (VAD) is often associated with trauma or occurs spontaneously, inevitably causing some neurological deficits. We herein report the case of a 49-year-old female patient presented with sudden onset of severe posterior neck pain with occipital headache, vertigo and vomiting when she was bathing. Dissection of the right vertebral artery at the level of V4 segment was confirmed by use of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and CT Angiography (CTA), and Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA). The patient was started with clopidogrel (75mg/d) and low molecular weight heparin calcium injection (Fraxiparine, 0.4ml: 4100AXaIU/bid, subcutaneous injection). Recovery of neurologic function was excellent, and she was discharged after 21 days. However, reexamine CTA showed an abnormal intracranial segment of the right vertebral artery. The patient still continued treatment with Clopidogrel (75mg/d). We suggest that patients with symptoms of neck pain or headache and even disturbances of posterior circulation after manipulation and stretching of the neck, VAD has to be taken into consideration. of the neck and head revealed dissection of right distal vertebral artery (Figure 2). Moreover, Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA) showed focal luminal dilatation involving right V4 segment of the vertebral artery just proximal to Posterior Inferior Cerebellar Artery (PICA) and insufficient blood flow to its distal portion (Figure 3). Dissection of the right vertebral artery at the level of V4 segment was confirmed. The patient was started with clopidogrel (75mg/d) and low molecular weight heparin calcium injection (Fraxiparine, 0.4ml: 4100AXaIU/ bid, subcutaneous injection). Recovery of neurologic function was excellent, and she was discharged after 21 days. However, reexamine
Issues of child occupant protection: A literature review

: Though there have been considerable reductions in child mortality and morbidity due to motor vehicle crashes in the past twenty years, road trauma is still a leading cause of death for children in motorised countries and thus an important health and safety issue in Australia. This review identifies key issues of child occupant protection such as the use of age-appropriate child restraints, effects of misuse of restraints, and rear seating of children. Current research findings, with particular emphasis on Australian data, are discussed in relation to avenues that offer potential for enhancing levels of protection. paper out to identify the key issues and review the current state of knowledge in relation to them, with particular emphasis on the Australian perspective and experience.
University of Birmingham Fractional clique decompositions of dense graphs

For each r ≥ 4, we show that any graph G with minimum degree at least (1 − 1 / (100 r )) | G | has a fractional K r -decomposition. This improves the best previous bounds on the minimum degree required to guarantee a fractional K r -decomposition given by Dukes (for small r ) and Barber, K¨uhn, Lo, Montgomery and Osthus (for large r ), giving the ﬁrst bound that is tight up to the constant multiple of r (seen, for example, by considering Tur´an graphs). In combination with work by Glock, K¨uhn, Lo, Montgomery and Osthus, this shows that, for any graph F with chromatic number χ ( F ) ≥ 4, and any ε > 0, any suﬃciently large graph G with minimum degree at least (1 − 1 / (100 χ ( F )) + ε ) | G | has, subject to some further simple necessary divisibility conditions, an (exact) F -decomposition.
Caloric Contribution of Snack Purchases from Street Vendors to the Diets of Elementary School Children in a Low-Income, Urban, Latino Neighborhood

Objective: The purpose of this study was to quantify the number of street vendors around schools and to measure the snacks purchased, snacking habits, and the Body Mass Index (BMI) of the children purchasing snacks from street vendors in one urban, Latino neighborhood. Methods: Participants were: 78 boys, 64 girls, and 1 unknown from 5–12 years of age (M=8.12 ± 2.52) whose Latino parents/guardians completed a 24 question survey about their snack purchasing habits. Results: There were 64 vendors at the 17 schools surveyed (average 3.76 vendors:1 school). Shaved ice and ice cream were purchased most often (54.7% of the time), followed by chips (19.3%) and fried foods (8.7%). An average of $1.03 +/- 0.52 was spent. Individual snack purchases ranged from 46-1790 kcal, with an average of 367.43 +/- 197.96. There was no significant difference in the calories purchased by boys or girls (p>0.05). An estimated 39% of the children were overweight (12.4%) or obese (26.9%) and there was no significant relationship in BMI weight categories by gender (p>0.05). Conclusion: Snacks purchased from street vendors were calorie dense and nutrient poor. Street vendors, who are a significant part of many communities, could be valuable partners to increase the sale of healthy, affordable snacks to children after school.
Influence of the lipopolysaccharide structure of serovar Enteritidis on interactions with pig neutrophils

The key process for immune response development is the recognition of bacteria by the 20 immune system of the host based on the sensing of pathogen-associated molecular patterns 21 (PAMP). One of the most important PAMP is the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) molecule, a 22 complex molecule present in the outer membrane of Gram negative bacteria. In this study we 23 were interested in how different parts of the LPS of Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis 24 are recognized by porcine neutrophils. To this aim, we constructed S . Enteritidis mutants with 25 rfaL and rfaC genes disabled in the attachment of the O-antigen and in the synthesis of the 26 inner oligosaccharide core of LPS, respectively. We found that in the absence of serum, both 27 the rfa mutants associated with neutrophils and stimulated them for reactive oxygen species 28 (ROS) production significantly more than the wild-type strain. Addition of polymyxin B, 29 which neutralized lipid A, the endotoxic moiety of LPS, effectively decreased the association 30 of the wild-type strain and the rfaC mutant with neutrophils, but not the rfaL mutant. This 31 indicates that the oligosaccharide core newly exposed on the surface in the rfaL mutant, 32 protected from interaction in the wild-type strain by the O-antigen but completely absent in 33 the rfaC mutant, may represent a new ligand for porcine neutrophils that cannot be 34 neutralized by polymyxin B. 35

Case for Support: A Workﬂow-based High Throughput Toolkit for Primer Design

The Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is one of the core techniques of biotechnology. Software to design primers is required for the efﬁcient application of PCR. Existing primer design software is not ﬂexible enough to meet the ever more complex requirements of novel applications of PCR. We therefore propose to develop a new primer design toolkit that will meet the requirements of 21st century biotechnology.
Cloning and Nucleotide Sequence of the Myxococcus xanthus ion Gene: Indispensability of ion for Vegetative Growth

The Ion gene of Escherichia coli is known to encode protease La, an ATP-dependent protease associated with cellular protein degradation. A Ion gene homolog from Myxococcus xanthus, a soil bacterium which differentiates to form fruiting bodies upon nutrient starvation, was cloned and characterized by use of the Ion gene ofE. coli as a probe. The nucleotide sequence of the M. xanthus Ion gene was determined. It contains an open reading frame that encodes a 92-kDa protein consisting of 817 amino acid residues. The deduced amino acid sequence of the M. xanthus Ion gene product showed 60 and 56% identity with those of the E. coli and Bacillus brevis ion gene products, respectively. Analysis of an M. xanthus strain carrying a lon-lacZ operon fusion suggested that the Ion gene is similarly expressed during vegetative growth and development in M. xanthus. In contrast to that of E. coli, the M. xanthus Ion gene was shown to be essential for cell growth, since a null mutant could not be isolated.
High isolation tunable diplexer based on mixed electromagnetic coupling

In this article, a tunable diplexer based on quarter‐wavelength resonators with mixed electromagnetic coupling is designed. Different coupling types are utilized to generate a transmission zero in the stopband of filter, aiming to improve the isolation of diplexer. The meander line tunable filter with a magnetic dominated coupling forms channel 1 of the diplexer, a transmission zero in upper stopband is realized. The tunable filter dominated by electrical coupling constitutes channel 2 of the diplexer, a transmission zero is produced in lower stopband of the filter. Varactor diodes are loaded at quarter‐wavelength resonators for tunability of the center frequency. The proposed diplexer is both demonstrated by simulation and measurement. Experimental results show that the designed tunable diplexer has a frequency range of 0.85‐1.2 GHz and an isolation of greater than 42 dB.

Stigma in Malay Patients with HIV/AIDS in Malaysia

Background: Previous study noted severe impairment of social well-being, compared to other area of QoL in HIV patients, suggesting the role of moral and religious values concerning HIV infection. Objectives: The objective of this study was to evaluate the level and correlates of HIV-related stigma experienced by the patients. Methods: A total of 100 consenting Malay Muslim HIV patients attending the infectious disease out-patient clinic, Hospital Raja Perempuan Zainab II from July 2012 to February 2013 were recruited for study. Results: (1) Stigma among HIV patients attending out-patient clinic was high, particularly disclosure concerns; (2) Female HIV patients had significantly higher disclosure concerns compared to male HIV patients; (3) Among the studied variables, only disclosure was independently associated with total stigma. Conclusion: HIV-related stigma was high and significantly correlated with disclosure of HIV status among Malay Muslim HIV patients. Further studies are warranted to determine additional factors, such as culture and religiosity, which may influ­ ence the stigma.
Mobile Devices Routing Using Wi-Fi Direct Technology

—Information exchange between mobile devices grows every day. The communication relies on a network with an access point (Wi-Fi, cellular, etc.) using ad hoc communication because Wi-Fi Direct would avoid this dependence. Currently, Wi-Fi Direct does not support multi-hop communication or moving devices. This work focuses on expanding the use of Wi-Fi Direct technology, so that information sent from a device can walk on the network (multi-hop). We measured the number of exchanged messages by devices using four routing protocols: i) ﬂooding, ii) Ad hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV), iii) AODV-Backup Route (AODV-BR), and iv) Location-Aided Routing (LAR). We see that even with some challenges one can route mobile devices over Wi-Fi Direct.
The Relationship Between the WISC-IV PRI and the Executive Functioning Scale of the BASC-2 in Children Referred for Psychoeducational Assessment

This study addressed the question of whether the Perceptual Reasoning Index (PRI) of the Wecshler Intelligence Scale for Children-Fourth Edition (WISC-IV; Wechsler, 2003) is a measure of fluid reasoning by correlating the PRI and the Executive Functioning Scale of the Behavior Assesment System for Children-Second Edition (BASC-2; Reynolds & Kamphaus, 1998) in a referred sample. Participants comprised 152 children (109 boys, 43 girls) ranging in age from 6 to 16 years. They were drawn from an anonymous archival database of 931 children who were referred for psycho educational assessment due to persistent academic concerns, behavioral concerns, or both. Because this was a clinical sample, a check was performed using principal factor analysis to insure the factor structure was the same as that of the WISC-IV standardization sample, which was found to be the case. Also in keeping with the WISC-IV standardization sample, the subtests of the PRI correlated most with one another, although Picture Concepts had a relatively weaker correlation with the PRI compared to the correlation between Picture Concepts and PRI in the normative sample. No significant correlations were found between the PRI and the BASC-2 Executive Functioning Scale, suggesting little to no relationship. A significant correlation was found between the Executive Functioning Scale of the BASC-2 and the Processing Speed Index (PSI). This study did not provide support for the hypothesis that the PRI is primarily a measure of fluid reasoning. Studies that look at the relationship between the PRI and other higher-order cognitive tests, in the context of a comprehensive neuropsychological battery, would be a useful direction for future research.
Child Protection Challenges around Female Early Marriage and Genital Modification in Ethiopia

This article explores divergent perspectives on female early marriage and genital modification in Ethiopia. It contrasts international norms and research evidence with local understandings, the latter focusing on the part these practices play in securing family social heritage, wellbeing of girls, and their transition to adulthood. The article explains persistence of these practices in the face of campaigns to eliminate them and questions assumptions behind the international child protection model. It points to unintended adverse consequences of interventions that do not pay sufficient regard to local meanings and social relations, and suggests how policy might be approached differently.
SCREENING OF Tagetes minuta ETHANOLIC EXTRACT FOR ITS PHYTOCHEMICAL COMPOSITION, ANTIOXIDANT PROPERTY, TOTAL PHENOLIC AND TOTAL FLAVONOID CONTENTS

As an attempt ABSTRACT Medicinal plants are widely distributed in Jammu and Kashmir and their biological role and phytochemical composition are not still fully reconnoitered. The present work was undertaken to explore the preliminary phytochemical screening and antioxidant value of ethanolic extract of Tagetes minuta (EETM). The study was done by using various in vitro methods such as, Preliminary qualitative phytochemical assay, DPPH radical scavenging activity, reducing power assay and, Total phenolic and Total flavonoid content estimations. The whole EETM showed a fair number of phytochemicals with high free radical scavenging activity as evidenced by low IC 50 in DPPH (40.77 μg/ml) and increase in absorbance in case of reducing power assay. The TPC and TFC of the extract were found to be was 130.8 0.6 mg/g Gallic acid equivalent and 57.33 2.51 mg/g Rutin equivalent of the extract respectively. The findings from the present investigation clearly showed that EETM possessed high phenolic and flavonoid contents and potential antioxidant activity and could be used as a valuable source of natural antioxidants and hence can prevent the body from diseases associated with oxidative stress.
Developing the California fresh fig industry

The fig (Ficus carica), one of the first cultivated trees in the world, is grown in most of the of the world’s moderate climates. However, fresh figs are highly sensitive to physical damage, and susceptible to postharvest infections which cause high losses during marketing. Preharvest orchard and postharvest conditions are important for improving fruit quality and postharvest life. Reducing postharvest losses and developing global fresh fig marketing is a challenge for plant breeders, physiologists and postharvest scientists. Our program focuses on increasing consumer consumption by identifying cultivars with high quality and suitable postharvest attributes, developing postharvest handling technologies, and improving marketing. Our postharvest evaluations of consumer acceptance and the firmness and decay susceptibility of promising fresh figs in the National Clonal Germplasm Repository (NCGR) suggested a breeding program for developing firm fleshed cultivars with high consumer acceptance.
