Published: January 2022

In the article, the possibilities of using neural networks constructed on neurons with an activation function based on the Bayes' theorem for intelligent processing of measurement results are discussed. In the authoring Bayesian model of a neuron, the weight vector is used as a reference pattern, the input signals of the neuron are interpreted as evidence in favor of two alternative hypotheses: compliance and noncompliance with the condition of the neuron activation. The output signal of the neuron is formed on the basis of the posterior probability distribution of hypotheses calculated using the Bayes' rule. The ability of the Bayesian neuron to recognize fuzzy graphic images covered with a raster grid is shown. An illustrative example of processing the results of measuring the surface temperature of the mechanism in order to detect potential malfunctions in places of overheating is given.

Using Machine Learning to Improve Neutron Tagging Efficiency in Water Cherenkov Detectors
Authors:   , Stubbs Matthew
Published: January 2022

When an anti-neutrino collides with a proton in the atomic nucleus, it yields an anti-lepton and a free neutron. In a water Cherenkov neutrino detector like Super-K or the next generation Hyper-K, the free neutron is captured by a hydrogen or gadolinium nucleus about one hundred microseconds after the collision. The low-energy signal from the neutron capture (ranging from 2-8 MeV of gamma rays) is recorded by only tens of photomultiplier tubes (PMTs), making neutron captures difficult to distinguish from radioactive decay, muon spallation and other background sources. Improved methodologies for neutron tagging can advance understanding and enable new research over a survey of topics in particle physics. In this research, machine learning techniques are employed to optimize the neutron capture detection capability in the new intermediate water Cherenkov detector (IWCD) for Hyper-K. In particular, boosting decision tree (XGBoost) and graph neural network (GCN, DGCNN) models are developed and benchmarked against a statistical likelihood-based approach, achieving up to a 10% increase in classification accuracy. Characteristic features are also engineered from the datasets and analyzed using SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanations) to provide insight into the pivotal factors influencing event type outcomes. Three main datasets were used for evaluative purposes in this research, each consisting of roughly 1.6 million events in total, divided nearly evenly between neutron capture and a distinct background electron source.
Virtualización del proceso de validación por juicio de expertos de instrumentos de recolección de datos de investigación
Authors: Prado-Límaco Gabriel
Published: January 2022

En el contexto del aislamiento social obligatorio decretado por el gobierno peruano debido a la pandemia producto del Covid-19, y de la promoción de la investigación científica como política pública que se había iniciado algunos años antes, desde principios del año 2020, en la Facultad de Comunicación de una universidad peruana, se llevó a cabo el proceso de virtualización por juicio de expertos de los instrumentos de recolección de datos utilizados para las tesis de pregrado. El objetivo del presente artículo es presentar los resultados de la sistematización de dicha experiencia. La metodología empleada tomó en cuenta la recopilación de datos realizada durante los dos semestres académicos de ese año, así como la aplicación de encuestas a docentes y estudiantes que participaron del proceso. Como conclusión, se de- terminó que sistematizaciones como esta ayudan a la reflexión y a la mejora continua, por lo que, incluso, si la virtualización del proceso de validación tuvo que implementarse como una medida de emergencia, esta debe tomarse como una oportunidad de mejora, con posibilidades de ser aplicada y replicada en otros contextos de educación superior, incluyendo el eventual retorno a la educación presencial.

Published: January 2022

The nontree species including shrubs, herbs, sedge, grasses, and ferns are vital for the sustainability of the forest ecosystem. The study was conducted at the Engareolmotonyi seasonally dry riverine forest in northern Tanzania to determine the nontree richness (S), diversity, distribution, and abundance. A total number of 20 plots of 20 x 20 m2 (m2) were purposively established, within which nested plots of 1 x 1 m2were set to determine herbs, sedge, grasses, and ferns; whereas the 2 x 5 m2 subplots were established to identify the woody nontrees for their botanical names, counted for their number of stems, and disturbances were recorded. Shannon index (H’) of diversity was used to determine species diversity. Relative frequency (RF) was used to determine the distribution percentage and abundance. A total of 50 non-trees species were identified. Of all those, 30 were non-woody while from while 20 species were nontree woody plants. Non-woody plants had higher H’ and RF than woody nontrees. The nontree woody plants had less density than no-n woody plants. The most abundant species had an RD of 26.121 ± 15.30.3, while the medium had the RF of 10.290 ± 4.222, and the rest were the least abundant with an RD of ≤ 4.222. The recorded disturbances were; cutting sticks, poles (for snaring), very small trees, collection of livestock fodder plants. The relative frequency of disturbances ranged from 37.50% ± 3.13%. The most dominant disturbance was as a footpath(s) with a relative frequency (RF) of 37.50%), followed by cutting (21.88.14%), livestock fodder collection (12.50%), the intact plots and firewood collection (19.38%), blue monkey and baboon foot tracks (6.25), and snares had an RF of 3.13%. The effect of disturbances on nontrees has been noticed in Engareolmontonyi forest even though the plant diversity remains relatively high. This implies that moderate disturbance has no significant damage to plant richness, diversity, distribution and abundance. The widely distributed plants with a larger number of stems have more advantage of survival than the least distributed in terms of any damage occurring to a part of the seasonally dry riverine forest. Conclusively, the tropical vegetation can tolerate moderate or controlled activities, while excessive disturbances will always lead to a decline in richness, diversity, distribution, abundance, and even extinction of the least distributed and even the most abundant plants depending on the disturbance severity. Restoration of gaps is needed, cutting of trees and snaring should be discouraged, livestock fodder collection should be controlled.
What the Community Learns: International Service-Learning in Yucatán, México
Authors: Chapa-Cortés Claudia
Published: January 2022

Colleges and universities have increasingly adopted international service-learning (ISL) as a pedagogy for students studying abroad. The literature on these programs has illustrated that international students receive more attention than host communities as objects of study. Host groups often face real challenges caused primarily by historical and social factors that contribute to their long-term marginalization. If ISL implies mutual learning and reciprocity between host communities and students, it is important to question how communities live the ISL experience—in other words, what do they learn? This study introduces the voices of a group of women in Mérida, Mexico, who participated in an ISL program. Utilizing an ethnographic approach, including participant observation, focus groups, and interviews, the study discussed in this article produced findings that suggest that communities participating in ISL gain important learning outcomes in areas such as empowerment, skills, values, and collective organization.

Published: January 2022

Paullone isomers are known as inhibitors of tubulin polymerase and cyclin dependent kinases (Cdks), which are potential targets for cancer chemotherapy. Herein we report an efficient and clean pathway to the fourth isomer, which remained elusive so far, namely 7,8-dihydroindolo[2,3-d][1]benzazepin-6(5H)-one. Moreover, we demonstrate the generality of our pathway by synthesizing two closely related analogues, one containing a bromo substituent and the other one incorporating an 8-membered instead of a 7-membered ring. The key transformation in this four-step synthesis, with an overall yield of 29%, is the Fischer indole reaction of 2-nitrophenylacetyl acetoacetate with 1-benzyl-1-phenylhydrazine in acetic acid that delivers methyl 2-(1-benzyl-3-(2-nitrophenyl)-1H-indol-2-yl)acetate in 55% yield.

Processing and Analysis for Radio Science Experiments (PARSE): Graphical Interface for Bistatic Radar
Authors: Sirri Paul , Palmer Elizabeth M. , Heggy Essam
Published: January 2022

Opportunistic bistatic radar (BSR) observations of planetary surfaces can probe the textural and electrical properties of several solar system bodies without needing a dedicated instrument or additional mission requirements, providing unique insights into volatile enrichment and supporting future landing, anchoring, and in situ sampling. Given their opportunistic nature, complex observation geometries, and required radiometric knowledge of the received radio signal, these data are particularly challenging to process, analyze, and interpret for most planetary science data users, who can be unfamiliar with link budget analysis of received echoes. The above impedes real-time use of BSR data to support mission operations, such as identifying safe landing locations on small bodies, as was the case for the Rosetta mission. To address this deficiency, we develop an open-source graphical user interface—Processing and Analysis for Radio Science Experiments (PARSE)—that assesses the feasibility of performing BSR observations and automates radiometric signal processing, power spectral analysis, and visualization of DSN planetary radio science data sets acquired during mission operations or archived on NASA’s Planetary Data System. In this first release, PARSE automates the processing chain developed for Dawn at Asteroid Vesta, streamlining the detection of DSN-received surface-scatter echoes generated as the spacecraft enters/exits occultations behind the target. Future releases will include support for existing Arecibo data sets and other Earth-based radio observatories. Our tool enables the broader planetary science community, beyond planetary radar signal processing experts, to utilize BSR data sets to characterize electrical and textural properties of planetary surfaces. Such tools are becoming increasingly important as the number of space missions—and subsequent opportunities for orbital radio science observations—continue to grow.
Porosity-filling Metamorphic Brines Explain Ceres’s Low Mantle Density
Authors: Melwani Daswani Mohit , Castillo-Rogez Julie C.
Published: January 2022

Recent work has sought to constrain the composition and makeup of the dwarf planet Ceres’s mantle, which has a relatively low density, between 2400 and 2800 kg m−3, as inferred by observations by the Dawn mission. Explanations for this low density have ranged from a high fraction of porosity-filled brines to a high fraction of organic matter. We present a series of numerical thermodynamic models that yield the mineralogy and fluid composition in the mantle as a function of Ceres’s thermal evolution. We find that the resulting phase assemblage could have changed drastically since the formation of Ceres, as volatile-bearing minerals such as serpentine and carbonates would partially destabilize and release their volatiles as temperatures in the mantle reach their maximum about 3 Gyr after Ceres’s formation. These volatiles consist mainly of aqueous fluids containing Na+ and HS− throughout the metamorphic evolution of Ceres and, in addition, high concentrations of CO2 at high temperatures relatively recently. The predicted present-day phase assemblage in the mantle, consisting of partially devolatilized minerals and 13–30 vol% fluid-filled porosity, is consistent with the mantle densities inferred from Dawn. The metamorphic fluids generated in Ceres’s mantle may have replenished an ocean at the base of the crust and may even be the source of the Na2CO3 and NaHCO3 mineral deposits observed at Ceres’s surface.
Optical Constants of a Titan Haze Analog from 0.4 to 3.5 μm Determined Using Vacuum Spectroscopy
Authors: He Chao , Hörst Sarah M. , Radke Michael , Yant Marcella
Published: January 2022

Titan's thick atmosphere is primarily composed of nitrogen and methane. Complex chemistry happening in Titan's atmosphere produces optically thick organic hazes. These hazes play significant roles in Titan's atmosphere and on its surface, and their optical properties are crucial for understanding many processes happening on Titan. Due to the lack of such information, the optical constants of laboratory-prepared Titan haze analogs are essential inputs for atmospheric modeling and data analysis of remote-sensing observations of Titan. Here we perform laboratory simulations in a Titan-relevant environment, analyze the resulting Titan haze analogs using vacuum Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and calculate the optical constants from the measured transmittance and reflectance spectra. We provide a reliable set of optical constants of Titan haze analogs in the wavelength range from 0.4 to 3.5 μm and will extend it to 28.5 μm in the near future, which can be used for analyzing both existing and future observational data of Titan. This study establishes a feasible method to determine optical constants of haze analogs of (exo)planetary bodies.

This paper presents a new mathematical signal transform that is especially suitable for decoding information related to non-rigid signal displacements. We provide a measure theoretic framework to extend the existing Cumulative Distribution Transform [29] to arbitrary (signed) signals on \begin{document}$ \overline {\mathbb{R}} $\end{document}. We present both forward (analysis) and inverse (synthesis) formulas for the transform, and describe several of its properties including translation, scaling, convexity, linear separability and others. Finally, we describe a metric in transform space, and demonstrate the application of the transform in classifying (detecting) signals under random displacements.

This article studies the stochastic comparisons of order statistics with dependent and heterogeneous lower-truncated Weibull samples under Archimedean copula. To begin, we obtain the usual stochastic and hazard rate orders of the largest and smallest order statistics from heterogeneous and dependent lower-truncated Weibull samples under Archimedean copula. Second, under Archimedean copula, we get the convex transform and the dispersive orders of the largest and smallest order statistics from dependent and heterogeneous lower-truncated Weibull samples. Finally, several numerical examples are given to demonstrate the theoretical conclusions.

Thomas Edison, Albert Einstein, Nikola Tesla, Aldous Huxley, Sergei Rachmanicoff, Chopin, Goethe. What dothese people have in common? They all used hypnosis to explore and expand the boundaries of their intelligence. The aim of the current review is to investigate the impact of clinical hypnosis on Metacognition, Consciousness and Intelligence based on the counterpart model. Furthermore, we examine the role of virtual reality hypnosis in service of metacognition. The results showed that clinical hypnosis -with the power of attention and imagery- can effectively and rapidly reformat cognitive and metacognitive skills, upgrade intelligence and raise conscious experience into the higher energy levels. Hypnosis improves metacognition by re-organizing the survival-emotional-reward centers, smoothing the non-verbal pathways for effortless self-regulation. We concluded that the clinical hypnosis guarantees peak performance, innovation, success, and happiness in all areas of life. It can also play a significant role in education as a tool for dealing with the well-established learned weaknesses, for mental/emotional training and brain rewiring, facilitating learning, unlearning and relearning. Virtual reality hypnosis is a top promising technology assisting metacognitive training.

Published: January 2022

Smart cities are attracting much interest in terms of future development. As new technologies come on stream, ordinary towns are reshaping themselves as smart cities, where technology is used to improve connections between all elements of the town. The technology can be embedded everywhere and can harvest data for dedicated smart city applications. Smart cities will have a huge number of different devices running these applications. There will be a substantial amount of data associated with these devices. In the interlinked smart city environment, many different messages could be shared between them. Such devices will be associated with many security risks and privacy issues, as many of the shared statistics could also hold personal data. A substantial review of research has been recently undertaken to ensure that data will be safe in the smart city environment. This review has included all the latest research in the area and is intended to ensure that all the data required to run green smart cities and the devices required for them will remain secure and confidential.

Il nuovo sistema di finanziamento degli ospedali pubblici e privati. Alcune riflessioni sul tema
Authors: Pennelli Orazio , Pacilli Luigi
Published: January 2022

L'articolo presenta il nuovo sistema di finanziamento degli Istituti di ricovero pubblici e privati introdotto in Italia di recente, a gennaio 1995 (ma già in uso da alcuni anni negli Stati Uniti e in alcuni Paesi europei), detto "a prestazione" o "a tariffa", che si basa sul sistema di classificazione della casistica ospedaliera DRG-ROD, al fine di contrastare la continua lievitazione della spesa ospedaliera. Infatti, il progressivo incremento della spesa sanitaria, di cui quella ospedaliera è la componente principale, in Italia (come in tutti Paesi occidentali), insieme con la sempre più diffusa coscienza della limitatezza delle risorse disponibili, ha posto in primo piano la necessità di assicurare ai cittadini una assistenza sanitaria contraddistinta da un livello di efficacia e di efficienza superiore rispetto al passato, raggiungibile anche attraverso una limitazione della crescita della spesa. L'adozione di tale nuovo sistema, seppure potrà portare indubbi vantaggi (classificazione più adeguata della casistica, riduzione de lla spesa ecc.), suscita tuttavia una serie di riflessioni di carattere etico, in quanto una sua non corretta applicazione potrebbe essere responsabile di una riduzione della qualità della assistenza prestata, della equità con cui essa è erogata, e addirittura di un aumento della spesa ospedaliera, in mancanza di controlli efficaci organizzati dalle Istituzioni competenti.
Dignità e vita umana: due concetti fondamentali dell'etica medica
Authors: Carrasco de Paula Ignazio
Published: January 2022

L'articolo, muovendo dalla constatazione della attuale difficoltà di costruire un progetto etico comune per l'uomo anche a causa degli equivoci insorgenti già a partire dal significato attribuito alle parole, si propone di analizzare il senso ed il significato dei termini vita e dignità umane. Dopo avere esaminato storicamente l'attribuzione di significato alla parola vita in epoca pre-cristiana, cristiana e post-cartesiana, l'Autore argomenta che essa è qualcosa di più di quel che appare e ci è possibile grazie ad altre due proprietà costitutive dell'essere persona umana: l'integrità e l'identità. Il primo termine viene definito come ciò che si riferisce ad una interezza naturale, armonica e sinergica, mantre il secondo comporta la pertinacia nell'essere se stesso lungo il divenire nel tempo. Se integrità e identità sono costitutivi della persona, allora ogni tentativo ordinato alla loro distruzione si pone come una demolizione delI'uomo stesso. Vengono così a definirsi i primi principi della Bioetica: 1. il rispetto dell'inviolabilità della vita umana; 2. il rispetto della sua integrità; 3. il rispetto della sua identità. Riguardo, alla parola dignità, questa va riferita a qualcosa o qualcuno che per natura possiede pregio, nobiltà, eccellenza. Riferito all'uomo, il termine indica un bene che non può essere commisurato con altri beni. L'uomo, cioè, non ha prezzo essendo lui stesso la misura di valore per tutte le cose. Egli è un soggetto individuale, unico ed irripetibile. Asserire la dignità della vita umana, infine, significa riconoscere il valore unico dell'uomo in quanto singola e concreta persona vivente.

Published: January 2022

Background

Telomere length (TL) is considered a biomarker of cellular aging. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is found to be associated with premature aging and the senescence hypothesis is now accepted as a molecular pathway for COPD development.

Purpose

The aim of this study was to measure TL in COPD patients and to study its relation to demographic data, spirometric indices, and arterial blood gases parameters.

Participants and methods

We measured TL using quantitative PCR in 20 patients with severe to very severe COPD and 11 age-matched and sex-matched nonsmokers.

Results

TL was significantly shorter in COPD patients (P < 0.001). Among COPD patients, TL was significantly shorter in current smokers than ex-smokers. In COPD patients, TL was correlated positively with SpO2%, pH (P < 0.05), PaO2 (P < 0.01), FVC% (P < 0.05) and FEV1%, and FEF25–75% (P < 0.001) and not correlated with pack-year. The BODE (Body mass index, airflow Obstruction, Dyspnea, and Exercise capacity) index was correlated negatively with TL (P < 0.01); among BODE index parameters, the dyspnea score correlated negatively (P < 0.05) with TL. TL was shorter in very severe COPD than severe COPD (P < 0.001).

Conclusion

Our data support accelerated cellular senescence in COPD represented by shortening of TL; TL was correlated positively with airflow limitation and it may be related to impaired physical activities in COPD, which is a manifestation of the aging process.
