Connecting Agent-Based Models with High-Dimensional Parameter Spaces to Multidimensional Data Using SMoRe ParS: A Surrogate Modeling Approach
Authors: Bergman Daniel R. , Norton Kerri-Ann , Jain Harsh Vardhan , Jackson Trachette 
Published: December 2023

AbstractAcross a broad range of disciplines, agent-based models (ABMs) are increasingly utilized for replicating, predicting, and understanding complex systems and their emergent behavior. In the biological and biomedical sciences, researchers employ ABMs to elucidate complex cellular and molecular interactions across multiple scales under varying conditions. Data generated at these multiple scales, however, presents a computational challenge for robust analysis with ABMs. Indeed, calibrating ABMs remains an open topic of research due to their own high-dimensional parameter spaces. In response to these challenges, we extend and validate our novel methodology, Surrogate Modeling for Reconstructing Parameter Surfaces (SMoRe ParS), arriving at a computationally efficient framework for connecting high dimensional ABM parameter spaces with multidimensional data. Specifically, we modify SMoRe ParS to initially confine high dimensional ABM parameter spaces using unidimensional data, namely, single time-course information of in vitro cancer cell growth assays. Subsequently, we broaden the scope of our approach to encompass more complex ABMs and constrain parameter spaces using multidimensional data. We explore this extension with in vitro cancer cell inhibition assays involving the chemotherapeutic agent oxaliplatin. For each scenario, we validate and evaluate the effectiveness of our approach by comparing how well ABM simulations match the experimental data when using SMoRe ParS-inferred parameters versus parameters inferred by a commonly used direct method. In so doing, we show that our approach of using an explicitly formulated surrogate model as an interlocutor between the ABM and the experimental data effectively calibrates the ABM parameter space to multidimensional data. Our method thus provides a robust and scalable strategy for leveraging multidimensional data to inform multiscale ABMs and explore the uncertainty in their parameters.

AbstractTropospheric ozone significantly damages vegetation and reduces net primary productivity (NPP). We developed a stable linear NPP response model based on accumulated ozone exposure over a threshold of 40 parts per billion (ppb) (AOT40). We then estimated the effects of regional ozone damage on NPP for different vegetation types. The study suggests an average decrease in NPP of 24.7% due to ozone pollution in the North China Plain, similar to previous estimates ranging from 10.1% to 24.7%, with a maximum reduction exceeding 200 [g C m‐2 yr‐1] and more than 50%. Vegetation types such as broadleaf forests, needleleaf forest, crops, and grasses showed significant NPP decreases of 47.1%, 37.8%, 36.7%, and 44.6%, respectively. Declining NPP also had negative impacts on several Chinese crop species. Our work highlights the need for urgent and effective action to mitigate ozone pollution's substantial detrimental effects on ecosystem health and productivity.
Imitation learning‐based online optimal scheduling for microgrids: An approach integrating input clustering and output classification
Authors: Sun Haonan , Zhang Bocheng , Liu Nian 
Published: December 2023

AbstractStrong uncertainties of distributed renewable generations, loads and real‐time market prices impose higher requirements on the online scheduling for microgrids. Traditional model‐driven methods exist several limitations due to low solving efficiency, difficulty in handling uncertainties, reliance on accurate prediction information, and inability to leverage accumulated historical data. This paper proposes a data‐driven improved imitation learning based approach for online microgrids optimization. First, a mixed integer linear programming model is established to derive offline optimal decisions within the given scenarios, which serve as expert demonstrations to help construct a sample database for imitation learning. Next, a direct imitation learning model based on eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) is established to learn the mapping relationship between the system state and the scheduling decision, and the model training is refined by input clustering and output classification. At the input end, the operation scenarios are clustered to form multiple sub‐feature sets to achieve targeted training for different scenarios. At the output end, a binary variable is added to the label set to realize high‐precision decisions of the action of the energy storage system. Numerical case studies demonstrate the performance advantages of the proposed method.

Published: December 2023

AbstractCases of delayed osteoradionecrosis (ORN) of the anterior skull base have unique management considerations. A 59-year-old woman with a history of basaloid squamous cell carcinoma of the sinonasal cavity with intracranial extension through the anterior skull base developed delayed radiation sequelae of anterior skull base ORN. She underwent an initial endoscopic resection in 2011 with persistent disease that required an anterior craniofacial resection with left medial maxillectomy in 2012. She had a radiologic gross total resection with microscopic residual disease at the histologic margins prompting adjuvant chemoradiotherapy to target volume doses of 66 to 70 Gy with concurrent cisplatin chemotherapy. She subsequently developed an intracranial abscess in 2021 along the anterior skull base that required a craniotomy and endoscopic debridement. Despite aggressive surgical and medical therapy, she had persistent intracranial infections and evidence of skull base ORN. She ultimately underwent a combined open bifrontal craniotomy and endoscopic resection of the necrotic frontal bone and dura followed by an anterolateral thigh free flap reconstruction with titanium mesh cranioplasty. The patient recovered well from a microvascular free-tissue reconstruction without concern for cerebrospinal fluid leak. Anterior skull base reconstruction with free tissue transfer is a commonly utilized method for oncologic resections. Here, an anterolateral free flap was effectively used to treat an anterior skull base defect secondary to a rare indication of skull base ORN.

Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus is found in the normal skin and mucosa of approximately 30% of healthy populations and is the most common pathogen in human disease associated with bacteria. They are divided into methicillin-sensitive S. aureus (MSSA) and methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA). The S. aureus strains carrying the Panton-Valentine leukocidin genes (SA-PVL) were initially believed to belong to the MRSA group; however, recent reports showed they also belonged to the MSSA group (MSSA-PVL). SA-PVL is common in skin and soft-tissue infections but rare in musculoskeletal infections, especially in spondylodiscitis. We are reporting a case suffering from cervical spondylodiscitis and epidural abscess associated with MSSA carrying the Panton-Valentine leukocidin genes.
Assessment of the carbon emissions reduction potential in Thailand’s power sector with high penetration of variable renewable energy sources and electric vehicles in the year 2030
Authors: Phothisourinh Niphit , Singh Jai Govind 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
The power sector has substantial carbon emissions reduction potential that could achieve the new nationally determined contribution target in 2030 by increasing low-carbon technologies, e.g. variable renewable energy sources and electric vehicles (EVs). Therefore, two approaches were suggested in this work. In the first approach, Thailand’s power sector was modelled by using PLEXOS software to find the impact of the high penetration of variable renewable energy (RE) and EV charging load for the projected year 2030. The second approach proposed a demand–response and energy storage system solution with carbon pricing in the model to assess the targets. As a result, the electricity demand from charging EVs will cause a new peak demand at night, while the high variable RE penetration will cause curtailment in the power system due to excess supply at noon. Therefore, Thailand’s power sector has the potential for carbon emissions reduction by 45% with clean energy technologies, which could increase to 68% with carbon pricing, easily achievable by the nationally determined contribution target in 2030. However, these benefits could only be derived if various entities involved in the energy regulatory, transport and power sectors coordinate to implement the required technological and financial policies.
Archbishop Wulfstan of York and the Danish Conquest of 1016
Authors: Rabin Andrew 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Wulfstan, archbishop of York (1002–1023) and bishop of Worcester (1002–1016), occupies a pre-eminent place in the political history of eleventh-century England, yet surprisingly little is known of his life and career. The consequences of this ignorance are particularly acute for the years surrounding the Danish Conquest of 1016. The upheavals of this period led Wulfstan to compose his most well-known homily, the Sermo lupi ad Anglos (1014), resign from the see of Worcester (1016), and transfer his loyalty from the English king Æthelred to the Danish conqueror Cnut. Yet while the years 1013 to 1018 left discernible traces in Wulfstan’s thought, the particular circumstances that produced these traces can be perceived only dimly. The means by which Wulfstan maintained his status through the years of conquest are significant for more than just their impact on his career and evolving political vision. While his role as a leading legislator during the reigns of both Æthelred and Cnut has been taken as evidence that he managed to emerge from the Conquest relatively unscathed, Wulfstan’s influence at the royal court during these years was inconsistent at best and his success in navigating the change in power was not inevitable. Wulfstan’s approach to the complicated politics of the Conquest thus provides a useful case-study of the various ways in which the Church, its leaders as much as its institutions, balanced competing allegiances to king and conqueror.

SUMMARY
The Northern China Domain is located between the Central Asian Orogenic Belts to the north and the Kunlun–Qinling belt to the south, and it comprises the North China, Alxa and Tarim blocks. The relationships among the Northern China domain and the southern tectonic elements such as the Qaidam Basin/Terrane are debated because of the major modification by crustal deformation in the late Mesozoic–Cenozoic. To address this issue, we conducted a palaeomagnetic and high-precision radiometric dating study of Triassic volcanic rocks and Middle Jurassic strata in the Qaidam Terrane. Our objective was to determine the relationship between the Qaidam Terrane with the Tarim Block and the North China Block (NCB) during the late Palaeozoic and early Mesozoic. Four volcanic samples yielded zircon U-Pb ages of 236–243 Ma. The characteristic remanent magnetizations (Middle Triassic: D = 40.2°, I = 54.6°, α95 = 3.4°; Middle Jurassic: D = 27.4°, I = 48.0°, α95 = 7.9°) passed the fold and reversal tests, and yielded Middle Triassic and Middle Jurassic palaeopole positions at 57.6° N, 178.2° E, A95 = 4.0° and 65.8° N, 197.6° E, A95 = 7.8°, respectively. Based on these new poles, combined with other reliable data, we compared the apparent polar wander path (APWP) of the Qaidam Terrane with those of the NCB and Tarim Block. The results show that, from the Carboniferous through Early Cretaceous, the APWP of the Qaidam Terrane resembles that of the Tarim Block, but it is quite different from that of the NCB. Combined with other reported evidence, we conclude that the Qaidam Terrane was an independent dynamic unit during the late Palaeozoic until its connection with the Tarim Block, which was followed by continuous eastward motion. During this process, the connection between the Qaidam Terrane and the NCB–Alxa blocks occurred in the Middle Triassic, and subsequently the Qaidam Terrane underwent multiple tectonic responses to collisions with the Qiangtang Terrane, Lhasa Terrane and the India Plate, before the formation of its modern tectonic configuration.
Human Rights in Mediation—Undoing a Myth and Exploring a Mutual Opportunity
Authors: Månsson Katarina 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Drawing on research conducted as part of a UN sabbatical leave programme, this article seeks to challenge a long-standing understanding of human rights and peace mediation as two distinct and often competing areas of work and expertise at opposite ends. By illustrating how human rights analysis and actors have directly contributed to and facilitated mediation efforts, the article demonstrates the inherent problem-solving nature of human rights by putting a spotlight on their role in supporting peace-making efforts by the UN and other entities. The article is based on eight in-depth case studies—from Palestine in 1948 to Colombia in 2016—and close to 60 interviews with present and former senior UN officials, representatives of non-official intermediaries and other experts engaged in mediation and human rights. With a view to better and more consistently applying the inherent potential of human rights in the political work of mediators, it demonstrates how human rights in fact stand ‘at the heart of mediation’ and breaks a prevailing narrow understanding of rights concerned primarily with criminal accountability. In so doing, the article not only fills a gap in academic literature but aims to trigger debate among practitioners and researchers on how human rights experts and mediators can learn from each other’s comparative approaches with a view to designing more sustainable and legitimate peace processes.

ABSTRACT
Star-forming galaxies (SFGs) adhere to a surprisingly tight scaling relation of dust attenuation parametrized by the infrared excess (IRX≡ LIR/LUV), being jointly determined by the star formation rate (SFR), galaxy size (Re), metallicity (Z/Z⊙), and axial ratio (b/a). We examine how these galaxy parameters determine the effective dust attenuation and give rise to the universal IRX relation, utilizing a simple two-component star-dust geometry model in which dust in the dense and diffuse interstellar medium (ISM) follows exponential mass density profiles, connected with but not necessarily identical to the stellar mass profiles. Meanwhile, empirical relations are adopted to link galaxy properties, including the gas–star formation relation, the dust-to-stellar size relation, as well as the dust-to-gas ratio versus metallicity relation. By fitting a large sample of local SFGs with the model, we obtain the best-fitting model parameters as a function of metallicity, showing that the two-component geometry model is able to successfully reproduce the dependence of IRX on SFR, Re, b/a at given Z/Z⊙, as well as the dependence of power-law indices on metallicity. Moreover, we also retrieve constraints on the model geometry parameters, including the optical depth of birth clouds (BCs), BC-to-total dust mass fraction, BC covering factor of UV-emitting stars, and star-to-total dust disc radius ratio, which all evolve with galaxy metallicity. Finally, a consistent picture of how the star-dust geometry in SFGs evolves with galaxy metallicity is discussed.

ABSTRACT
Post-common envelope binaries (PCEBs) containing a white dwarf (WD) and a main-sequence (MS) star can constrain the physics of common envelope evolution and calibrate binary evolution models. Most PCEBs studied to date have short orbital periods (Porb ≲ 1 d), implying relatively inefficient harnessing of binaries’ orbital energy for envelope expulsion. Here, we present follow-up observations of five binaries from 3rd data release of Gaia mission containing solar-type MS stars and probable ultramassive WDs ($M\gtrsim 1.2\ {\rm M}_{\odot}$) with significantly wider orbits than previously known PCEBs, Porb = 18–49 d. The WD masses are much higher than expected for systems formed via stable mass transfer at these periods, and their near-circular orbits suggest partial tidal circularization when the WD progenitors were giants. These properties strongly suggest that the binaries are PCEBs. Forming PCEBs at such wide separations requires highly efficient envelope ejection, and we find that the observed periods can only be explained if a significant fraction of the energy released when the envelope recombines goes into ejecting it. Our one-dimensional stellar models including recombination energy confirm prior predictions that a wide range of PCEB orbital periods, extending up to months or years, can potentially result from Roche lobe overflow of a luminous asymptotic giant branch (AGB) star. This evolutionary scenario may also explain the formation of several wide WD + MS binaries discovered via self-lensing, as well as a significant fraction of post-AGB binaries and barium stars.

Importance of quantifying the number of viral reads in metagenomic sequencing of environmental samples from the Huanan Seafood Market
Authors: Bloom Jesse D 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
In March 2023, the Chinese CDC publicly released raw metagenomic sequencing data for environmental samples collected in early 2020 from the Huanan Seafood Market. Prior to that data release, some scientists had suggested that these samples could be informative for establishing if animals such as raccoon dogs had been infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). However, no one had analyzed how much SARS-CoV-2 was actually present in the metagenomic sequencing data. After the raw data became available, I fully analyzed the abundance of both viral and animal genetic material in the samples. That analysis, which was published in Virus Evolution, found that the SARS-CoV-2 content of most samples was very low and that the abundance of SARS-CoV-2 was most strongly associated with animals such as largemouth bass that are not plausible candidates for having been infected. Based on these results, I concluded that the metagenomic content of the samples was not informative for determining if any non-human animals in the market had been infected with SARS-CoV-2. One of the authors of an earlier study of these samples, Florence Débarre, recently submitted a response to my paper. Here, I reply in turn to explain why it is important to quantify the abundance of viral material before drawing conclusions from metagenomic sequencing. I also report new analyses of other animal coronaviruses in the samples and show that material from some other animal coronaviruses is much more abundant than SARS-CoV-2 in samples collected on the date when most wildlife stall sampling was performed. I further show that material from some of these animal coronaviruses is associated with the animals they probably infect but that no such association exists for SARS-CoV-2. Overall, these new analyses further emphasize the importance of quantifying the actual amount of viral material in metagenomic samples and underscore why the environmental samples from the Huanan Seafood Market are not informative for determining if any non-human animals were infected with SARS-CoV-2.
