Second-order optimization for multiparameter reflection waveform inversion in acoustic VTI media
Authors: Wu Sihai , Wang Tengfei , Cheng Jiubing 
Published: November 2023

SUMMARY
The seismic wave velocity in subsurface formations typically varies both spatially and directionally, resulting in a heterogeneous and anisotropic medium. To successfully image complex structures and potential reservoirs using multichannel seismic data, high-resolution interval velocity models are required. However, most controlled-source seismic recordings lack wide-angle signals, such as diving and refracted waves that propagate through deep formations. Consequently, geophysicists rely on the traveltimes and waveforms of reflections or back-scatterings in finite-frequency and finite-offset seismograms to estimate velocity and account for possible anisotropy. Recently, wave-equation based reflection waveform inversion (RWI) has emerged as an active research topic due to its ability to recover intermediate-wavelength model components that cannot be retrieved in reflection traveltime tomography. Nevertheless, the widely used gradient-type local optimization suffers from multiparameter trade-off and slow convergence of RWI in anisotropic media. Analysis of the Fréchet derivative reveals that the sensitivity of reflections to changes in long-to-intermediate wavelengths of the anisotropic velocities is jointly controlled by the specular reflection on the interface and the radiation pattern of scattered fields concerning the model parameters along the wave paths. Anatomy of the approximate Hessian reveals characteristics of parameter coupling and spatial resolution in the context of multiparameter RWI, inspiring the development of a matrix-free Gauss–Newton algorithm based on the second-order adjoint-state method for large-scale applications. Synthetic and real data examples demonstrate that the proposed approach can appropriately handle overburden heterogeneities and anisotropies, and thus improve imaging of underlying complex structures such as dipping and small-scale faults in the deep parts.

Abstract

Background
The worldwide increase in Crohn’s disease (CD) has accelerated alongside rising urbanization and accompanying decline in air quality. Air pollution affects epithelial cell function, modulates immune responses, and changes the gut microbiome composition. In epidemiologic studies, ambient air pollution has a demonstrated relationship with incident CD and hospitalizations. However, no data exist on the association of CD-related death and air pollution.

Methods
We conducted an ecologic study comparing the number of CD-related deaths of individuals residing in given zip codes, with the level of air pollution from nitric oxide, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide (SO2), and fine particulate matter. Air pollution was measured by the New York Community Air Survey. We conducted Pearson correlations and a Poisson regression with robust standard errors. Each pollution component was modeled separately.

Results
There was a higher risk of CD-related death in zip codes with higher levels of SO2 (incidence rate ratio [IRR], 1.16; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.06-1.27). Zip codes with higher percentage of Black or Latinx residents were associated with lower CD-related death rates in the SO2 model (IRR, 0.58; 95% CI, 0.35-0.98; and IRR, 0.13; 95% CI, 0.05-0.30, respectively). There was no significant association of either population density or area-based income with the CD-related death rate.

Conclusions
In New York City from 1993 to 2010, CD-related death rates were higher among individuals from neighborhoods with higher levels of SO2 but were not associated with levels of nitric oxide, nitrogen dioxide, and fine particulate matter. These findings raise an important and timely public health issue regarding exposure of CD patients to environmental SO2, warranting further exploration.
The spatial correlation between trawl surveys and planned wind energy infrastructure on the US Northeast Continental Shelf

Published: November 2023

Abstract
The development of wind energy on the US Northeast Continental Shelf (NES) may preclude resource-monitoring programmes from continuing in their original study designs. We considered the spatial requirements of energy developers and the spatial autocorrelation of resident species as a means to inform survey mitigation. The spatial requirements of the NES wind industry were considered in respect to the delineation of settled lease areas. We suggest access metrics ranging from 8 to 21 km representing the interquartile range of chord distances across the settled lease areas. Using survey data and concentrating on commercial species with stock assessment requirements, we computed indices of spatial autocorrelation. Tests of spatial autocorrelation using Moran’s I and join counts statistics were significant (p &lt; 0.05) for most species, suggesting a high level of spatial correlation in their distributions. To characterize a scalar extent of spatial correlation, variograms were fit to estimate the physical range of correlated catches. These data suggest most species were spatially correlated well beyond the distance metrics derived from the lease area shapes. Sampling by a range of gears has the potential of producing spatially accurate depictions of species distributions and abundance despite the restrictions wind lease areas may place on sampling designs.
Envisioning the Future by Design: Toyota’s Show Cars at the 1969 and 1970 Tokyo Motor Shows
Authors: Autio Frans 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Toward the end of the 1960s, the car industry in Japan was reaching its maturity, and it seemed increasingly certain that Japan’s future was firmly linked to cars. At the 16th and 17th Tokyo Motor Shows, in 1969 and 1970, an unprecedented number of show cars made by Japanese car manufacturers were introduced. At these shows, Toyota introduced a series of show cars, the EX-I, EX-II, EX-III, and EX-7, as well as the Commuter.
The end of the 1960s was not just a turning point for the Japanese car industry but also for Japanese society as a whole. Through rapid (re)modernization, the country had attained economic wealth and power, but the consequences of modernization were becoming increasingly devastating. The anticipated and endorsed future was under revision when the news about pollution and political turmoil reached the nation’s media.
Focusing on Toyota Motors, this article examines early Japanese “show cars” by approaching them from the viewpoint of the anticipated but complex and uncertain future at the turn of the 1960s to the 1970s. The purpose of this article is to analyze and summarize the future vision(s) of Toyota by applying a close analysis of the design objects.

Published: November 2023

Abstract

Background
Maackiain (Mac), a flavonoid analog isolated from Sophora flavescens, exhibits neuroprotective, anti-allergic, anti-inflammatory, and pro-apoptotic effects. It is not clear whether Mac has a therapeutic effect on cervical cancer.

Method
In this work, we used RT-qPCR, western blot, immunofluorescence, and related methods to detect the therapeutic mechanism of Mac for cervical cancer.

Results
We demonstrated that Mac significantly inhibited the proliferation, migration, and invasion of human cervical cancer cell lines HeLa and SiHa. And, Mac enhanced the pro-apoptotic effects of cisplatin in treating cervical cancer cells. Mac has shown good efficacy in treating cervical cancer. Furthermore, Mac inhibited the mammalian target of the rapamycin (mTOR) pathway, thereby inducing autophagy in cervical cancer cells. The regulation of mTOR/autophagy pathway by Mac relied on the activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), and the inhibition of the AMPK reversed the Mac’s anti-cervical cancer activity. In addition, experimental study of Mac in mouse xenograft tumor model further confirmed its good anti-cervical cancer activity.

Conclusion
Mac inhibits human cervical cancer by activating the AMPK/mTOR/autophagy pathway, indicating that it is a potential natural compound for the treatment of cervical cancer. This study also provides a feasible molecular mechanism for the treatment of cervical cancer.

Abstract
A previously implanted stenotic aortic valve bioprosthesis with stenotic coronary ostia and intramyocardial calcium was surgically debrided resulting in disruption of the left outflow track. A rapid-deployment aortic valve bioprosthesis was implanted to cover the remnant aortic valve annulus, ensure open coronary ostia, and secure a well-functioning aortic valve bioprosthesis with low postoperative gradient.
Potential of rice tillering for sustainable food production
Authors: Takai Toshiyuki 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Tillering, also known as shoot branching, is a fundamental trait for cereal crops such as rice to produce sufficient panicle numbers. Effective tillering that guarantees successful panicle production is essential for achieving high crop yields. Recent advances in molecular biology have revealed the mechanisms underlying rice tillering; however, in rice breeding and cultivation, there remain limited genes or alleles suitable for effective tillering and high yields. A recently identified quantitative trait locus (QTL) called MORE PANICLES 3 (MP3) has been cloned as a single gene and shown to promote tillering and to moderately increase panicle number. This gene is an ortholog of the maize domestication gene TB1, and it has the potential to increase grain yield under ongoing climate change and in nutrient-poor environments. This review reconsiders the potential and importance of tillering for sustainable food production. Thus, I provide an overview of rice tiller development and the currently understood molecular mechanisms that underly it, focusing primarily on the biosynthesis and signaling of strigolactones, effective QTLs, and the importance of MP3 (TB1). The possible future benefits in using promising QTLs such as MP3 to explore agronomic solutions under ongoing climate change and in nutrient-poor environments are also highlighted.
Galaxy–dark matter connection of photometric galaxies from the HSC-SSP Survey: galaxy–galaxy lensing and the halo model

Published: November 2023

ABSTRACT
We infer the connection between stellar mass of galaxies from Subaru Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) survey, and their dark matter halo masses in two bins of redshifts between [0.3, 0.8]. We use measurements of the weak lensing of background galaxies from Year-1 shape catalogue from the HSC survey. We bin lens galaxies in stellar mass with varying thresholds ranging from $8.6\le \log [M_*/(h^{-2}{M_\odot })]\le \, 11.2$ and use stringent cuts in the selection of source galaxies to measure the lensing signal. We model these measurements of the lensing signals together with the abundance of galaxies in the halo occupation distribution framework. We obtain constraints on the halo occupation parameters of central galaxies Mmin and σlog M along with parameters that describe the occupation of the satellite galaxies. The measurements of abundance and lensing individually constrain different degeneracy directions in Mmin− σlog M plane, thus breaking the degeneracy in these parameters. We demonstrate that the lensing measurements are best able to constrain average central halo masses, 〈Mcen〉. We compare our measurements to those obtained using the abundance and clustering of these galaxies. We find that the galaxy–dark matter connection does not vary significantly between redshift bins we explore in this study. Uncertainties in the photometric redshift of the lens galaxies need to be studied to understand the true underlying stellar mass–halo mass relation and evolution of galaxies.
The outer low-α disc of the Milky Way – I: evidence for the first pericentric passage of Sagittarius?
Authors: Das Payel , Huang Yang , Ciucă Ioana , Fragkoudi Francesca 
Published: November 2023

ABSTRACT
Phase-space data, chemistry, and ages together reveal a complex structure in the outer low-α disc of the Milky Way. The age-vertical velocity dispersion profiles beyond the Solar Neighbourhood show a jump at 6 Gyr for stars beyond the Galactic plane. Stars older than 6 Gyr are significantly hotter than younger stars. The chemistry and age histograms reveal a bump at [Fe/H] = −0.5, [α/Fe] = 0.1, and an age of 7.2 Gyr in the outer disc. Finally, viewing the stars beyond 13.5 kpc in the age-metallicity plane reveals a faint streak just below this bump, towards lower metallicities at the same age. Given the uncertainty in age, we believe these features are linked and suggest a pericentric passage of a massive satellite ∼6 Gyr ago that heated pre-existing stars, and led to a starburst in existing gas. New stars also formed from the metal-poorer infalling gas. The impulse approximation was used to characterize the interaction with a satellite, finding a mass of ∼1011 M⊙, and a pericentric position between 12 and 16 kpc. The evidence points to an interaction with the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy, likely its first pericentric passage.
Taking the Milky Way for a spin: disc formation in the artemis simulations
Authors: Dillamore Adam M , Belokurov Vasily , Kravtsov Andrey , Font Andreea S 
Published: November 2023

ABSTRACT
We investigate the formation (spin-up) of galactic discs in the artemis simulations of Milky Way (MW)-mass galaxies. In almost all galaxies, discs spin up at higher [Fe/H] than the MW. Those galaxies that contain an analogue of the Gaia Sausage-Enceladus (GSE) spin up at a lower average metallicity than those without. We identify six galaxies with spin-up metallicity similar to that of the MW, which formed their discs ∼8–11 Gyr ago. Five of these experience a merger similar to the GSE. The spin-up times correlate with the halo masses at early times: galaxies with early spin-up have larger virial masses at a lookback time tL = 12 Gyr. The fraction of stars accreted from outside the host galaxy is smaller in galaxies with earlier spin-ups. Accreted fractions small enough to be comparable to the MW are only found in galaxies with the earliest disc formation and large initial virial masses (M200c ≈ 2 × 1011 M⊙ at tL = 12 Gyr). We find that discs form when the halo’s virial mass reaches a threshold of M200c ≈ (6 ± 3) × 1011 M⊙, independent of the spin-up time. However, the failure to form a disc in other galaxies appears to be instead related to mergers at early times. We also find that discs form when the central potential is not particularly steep. Our results indicate that the MW assembled its mass and formed its disc earlier than the average galaxy of a similar mass.
Adventures in Tonal Gravity: George Russell’s Analysis of Maurice Ravel’s “Forlane”
Authors: Hannaford Marc E 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
George Russell conceptualized his Lydian Chromatic Concept of Tonal Organization as a theory of tonality. He includes an analysis of the opening of Maurice Ravel’s “Forlane” from Le Tombeau de Couperin in the fourth and final edition of his text to demonstrate what his theory—“The Concept”—offers for the analysis of Western art music. This article takes Russell’s claim seriously, discusses The Concept as a theory of tonality, and extends Russell’s analysis to the entirety of “Forlane.” I also connect Russell’s work to broader Black cultural practices and their socio-political resonances.

Abstract
ChEMBL (https://www.ebi.ac.uk/chembl/) is a manually curated, high-quality, large-scale, open, FAIR and Global Core Biodata Resource of bioactive molecules with drug-like properties, previously described in the 2012, 2014, 2017 and 2019 Nucleic Acids Research Database Issues. Since its introduction in 2009, ChEMBL’s content has changed dramatically in size and diversity of data types. Through incorporation of multiple new datasets from depositors since the 2019 update, ChEMBL now contains slightly more bioactivity data from deposited data vs data extracted from literature. In collaboration with the EUbOPEN consortium, chemical probe data is now regularly deposited into ChEMBL. Release 27 made curated data available for compounds screened for potential anti-SARS-CoV-2 activity from several large-scale drug repurposing screens. In addition, new patent bioactivity data have been added to the latest ChEMBL releases, and various new features have been incorporated, including a Natural Product likeness score, updated flags for Natural Products, a new flag for Chemical Probes, and the initial annotation of the action type for ∼270 000 bioactivity measurements.
Epilogue to Part I

Published: November 2023

Abstract
The Brief History of the Pantheon is largely a dismal one. It represented a wonderful opportunity for Italian opera in London at a time when the social cachet of the form gave it economic underpinnings unmatched before or since. This opportunity was wasted, and the opera settlement of 1792 was bungled in ways that made a bad situation worse. By any historical logic we can conceive, what ought to have happened was radically different. A patent should have been granted for a grand new opera-house in Leicester Square whose construction would have been underwritten by contributions from the nobility and gentry.
The Architecture of the Pantheon Opera-House
Authors: Milhous Judith , Dideriksen Gabridla , Hume Robert D 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
As an Opera-House, the Pantheon was both admired and criticized. A vital first step towards recreating the experience of the audience and the performance conditions at the Pantheon is reconstructing the theatre itself. This is by no means easy, and until recently would have been impossible. Newspaper descriptions published in 1791 make clear that the theatre was small and elegant, and that it suffered from a cramped and inadequate stage. They offer little detail on layout, capacity, stage and machine capabilities, or how conversion of the existing building was carried out.
The Production Process

Abstract
Analysis of the component parts of the Pantheon company reveals its horizontal and fragmented nature. Even in the second season, with the hapless O’Reilly in exile and Trancart making a successful attempt at financial control, almost all evidence points to a very divided operation. The heads of the opera and ballet departments, the scene-designer, the costumer, and the lighting contractor functioned virtually independently of one another. Each controlled his own barony, and though the manager might set limits on expenditure, the practical day-to-day business of each department was con ducted by the department head.
Finances

Abstract
The Pantheon was manifestly a financial disaster within two months of its opening. By mid-April 1791 its backers were frantically trying to arrange an immediate amalgamation with the opposition at the new King’s Theatre, Haymarket-for very good reasons, as we shall discover. After the fire of January 1792 newspaper reports of fabulous losses contribute to the impression of disaster: sums like £76,000 were bandied about. Such journalistic sensationalism, however, does little to establish a solid basis for comprehension of what happened at the Pantheon. In so far as possible, we want to know what the company grossed and how much it spent. We also want to know what the money went for, and how the Pantheon’s budget compared with that of other London opera companies of the time.
Greece
Authors: Mackridge Peter 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
For the first fifteen years after the Second World War Greek literature was dominated, in prose, by more or less fictionalized narratives of recent events—the war against the Italians in Albania in 1940-1, the Axis Occupation of 1941-4, and the Resistance—and, in poetry, by fairly direct, nonlyrical statements expressing the existential struggle born of a sense of defeat. Although the novelists emerged largely from right-wing or centrist backgrounds, and many of the poets—particularly the younger ones—belonged to the Left, the writing of both groups was equally marked by the traumatic experience of the Civil War, whose most violent period lasted from 1946 to 1949, when the defeat of the Communist-led Left led to the imprisonment or exile of tens of thousands of Greeks.
United States

Published: November 2023

Abstract
Contemporary American literature might be said to have begun in 1965, with the serial publication of Truman Capote’s (1924-84) In Cold Blood in the New Yorker. Capote’s was not the first American work to mingle factual reportage with novelistic style: for that, one would have to go back to 1952, to Lillian Ross’s (b. 1927) Picture, or even further, to the New York anecdotes and profiles written in the 1940s and 1950s by Joseph Mitchell (b. 1908; reissued in his collection Up in the Old Hotel, 1992). Nor does Capote’s book mark the beginning of America’s interest in murder as literary material: there was, after all, Edgar Allan Poe over a century earlier. And though In Cold Blood is a powerful and lasting work of literature, it is not necessarily the best work of its decade, or even the first remarkable book of that period. But it marks a watershed.
