Published: June 2023

<p>In electrical sensors, effect of particle position on the signal magnitude can be mitigated through achieving uniform electric field at sensing region. 3D electrodes based on conductive solutions have been used before to generate uniform electric field in microfluidic platforms, where the ionic conductivity of the electrolyte was sufficient for impedance measurements at low frequencies (typically lower than 50 MHz). Due to low ion mobility, electrolyte liquids cannot be used as electrodes at microwave frequencies (>1 GHz). We used Galinstan, a metal that is liquid at room temperature, to fabricate 3D liquid electrodes connected to a microfluidic channel integrated microwave resonator. A mixture of 20 μm and 30 μm diameter polystyrene particles were measured and classified based on their size without any calibration for particle position by generating uniform electric field.These results demonstrate the utility of liquid electrodes in enhancing the electrical control of microwave resonant sensors.</p>

Authors: Makhieva A. T. , Mambetova A. M. 
Published: June 2023

THE AIM: to study the relationship of blood sclerostin with clinical parameters and its influence on the probability of detection of cardiovascular calcification in patients with CKD C5D.PATIENTS AND METHODS. The study was a single-stage, cohort study involving 84 patients with stage 5D CKD who received hemodialysis therapy, including 40 (47.6 %) female patients and 44 (52.4 %) male patients. The average age was 55.6±14.9 years. The examination included, in addition to routine studies, echocardioscopy with an assessment of calcification of the heart valves, abdominal radiography in the lateral projection with an assessment of aortic calcification, analysis of indicators that characterize phosphorus-calcium metabolism (serum sclerostin levels, 1.25(OH)D, FGF-23, A-klotho, PTH, P and Cа blood). Statistical analysis was performed using the computer program STATISTICA 12.6 (StatSoft Inc., USA).RESULTS. It was shown that the level of sclerostin is higher in the elderly, as well as those who have signs of hypoproteinemia and hypoalbuminemia, indirectly indicating the presence of protein-energy deficiency. There is an Association of blood sclerostin with FGF-23 and Alpha-klotho. From the point of view of the probable influence on the processes of cardiovascular calcification, this relationship shows its unidirectionality. Increased blood sclerostin levels have been shown to be associated with the risk of detecting signs of cardiovascular calcification. Moreover, it is shown that the higher the level of sclerostin in the blood, the more pronounced the degree of this calcification. Along with the increase in the level of sclerostin, the ability of a deficit of 1.25(OH)D to lead to the development of calcification was confirmed.CONCLUSION. A high level of sclerostin in the blood serum of more than 92.5 pmol / l in patients with CKD C5D increases the risk of detecting signs of cardiovascular calcification (calcification of the aortic wall and heart valves). An increase in sclerostin levels occurs in conjunction with an increase in FGF-23 and a decrease in 1.25(OH)D

Health professionals in Tanzania report a perceived need for sexual and reproductive health communication training to meet patient needs and reduce disparities. Simulation optimizes clinical performance and public entrustment. The study describes the development, feasibility, and acceptability measures of evidence-based, Afrocentric, standardized patient scenarios to train nursing, medical, and midwifery students in sexual and reproductive health in Tanzania. Standardized patient simulation cases with embedded cultural, language, gender, age, sexuality, and legal complexity issues were identified by stakeholders in Dar es Salaam centring on;1) adolescent health, 2) women’s health, and 3) male health cases. Twenty-four health professional students evenly split across nursing, midwifery, and medicine were recruited and enrolled to participate in a pilot trial of the standardized patient simulations conducted in Kiswahili and the results were recorded. Videos were evaluated by trained bilingual research staff using standardized behavioural checklists. Descriptive statistics and bivariate analyses were used to assess the pilot data. The study found that seventy- five percent (N =18) of baseline participants (N=24) returned for the 3-month follow-up simulation assessment. While not powered for statistical significance, students showed improvement in all cases and a significant improvement in the male erectile dysfunction concerns case for both interpersonal communication (t (17) = -3.445, p < .005) and medical history taking checklist (t (17) = -3.259, p < .005). Further, most students found the opportunity to practice using the simulations helpful or very helpful in their sexual and reproductive health education. It was therefore concluded that preliminary sexual and reproductive health simulation data using standardized patients demonstrated feasibility and acceptability among student participants.

AbstractDespite the crucial role of complex temporal sequences, such as speech and music, in our everyday lives, our ability to acquire and reproduce these patterns is prone to various contextual biases. In this study, we examined how the temporal order of auditory sequences affects temporal reproduction. Participants were asked to reproduce accelerating, decelerating or random sequences, each consisting of four intervals, by tapping their fingers. Our results showed that the reproduction and the reproduction variability were influenced by the sequential structure and interval orders. The mean reproduced interval was assimilated by the first interval of the sequence, with the lowest mean for decelerating and the highest for accelerating sequences. Additionally, the central tendency bias was affected by the volatility and the last interval of the sequence, resulting in a stronger central tendency in the random and decelerating sequences than the accelerating sequence. Using Bayesian integration between the ensemble mean of the sequence and individual durations and considering the perceptual uncertainty associated with the sequential structure and position, we were able to accurately predict the behavioral results. The findings highlight the critical role of the temporal order of a sequence in temporal pattern reproduction, with the first interval exerting greater influence on mean reproduction and the volatility and the last interval contributing to the perceptual uncertainty of individual intervals and the central tendency bias.

TD-CARMA: Painless, Accurate, and Scalable Estimates of Gravitational Lens Time Delays with Flexible CARMA Processes
Authors: Meyer Antoine D. , van Dyk David A. , Tak Hyungsuk , Siemiginowska Aneta 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Cosmological parameters encoding our understanding of the expansion history of the universe can be constrained by the accurate estimation of time delays arising in gravitationally lensed systems. We propose TD-CARMA, a Bayesian method to estimate cosmological time delays by modeling observed and irregularly sampled light curves as realizations of a continuous auto-regressive moving average (CARMA) process. Our model accounts for heteroskedastic measurement errors and microlensing, an additional source of independent extrinsic long-term variability in the source brightness. The semiseparable structure of the CARMA covariance matrix allows for fast and scalable likelihood computation using Gaussian process modeling. We obtain a sample from the joint posterior distribution of the model parameters using a nested sampling approach. This allows for “painless” Bayesian computation, dealing with the expected multimodality of the posterior distribution in a straightforward manner and not requiring the specification of starting values or an initial guess for the time delay, unlike existing methods. In addition, the proposed sampling procedure automatically evaluates the Bayesian evidence, allowing us to perform principled Bayesian model selection. TD-CARMA is parsimonious, and typically includes no more than a dozen unknown parameters. We apply TD-CARMA to six doubly lensed quasars HS2209+1914, SDSS J1001+5027, SDSS J1206+4332, SDSS J1515+1511, SDSS J1455+1447, and SDSS J1349+1227, estimating their time delays as −21.96 ± 1.448, 120.93 ± 1.015, 111.51 ± 1.452, 210.80 ± 2.18, 45.36 ± 1.93, and 432.05 ± 1.950, respectively. These estimates are consistent with those derived in the relevant literature, but are typically two to four times more precise.
A Constraint on the Amount of Hydrogen from the CO Chemistry in Debris Disks
Authors: Iwasaki Kazunari , Kobayashi Hiroshi , Higuchi Aya E. , Aikawa Yuri 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
The faint CO gases in debris disks are easily dissolved into C by UV irradiation, while CO can be reformed via reactions with hydrogen. The abundance ratio of C/CO could thus be a probe of the amount of hydrogen in the debris disks. We conduct radiative transfer calculations with chemical reactions for debris disks. For a typical dust-to-gas mass ratio of debris disks, CO formation proceeds without the involvement of H2 because a small amount of dust grains makes H2 formation inefficient. We find that the CO to C number density ratio depends on a combination of n
H
Z
0.4
χ
−1.1, where n
H is the hydrogen nucleus number density, Z is the metallicity, and χ is the far-UV flux normalized by the Habing flux. Using an analytic formula for the CO number density, we give constraints on the amount of hydrogen and metallicity for debris disks. CO formation is accelerated by excited H2 when either the dust-to-gas mass ratio is increased or the energy barrier of chemisorption of hydrogen on the dust surface is decreased. This acceleration of CO formation occurs only when the shielding effects of CO are insignificant. In shielded regions, the CO fractions are almost independent of the parameters of dust grains.
LIMFAST. I. A Seminumerical Tool for Line Intensity Mapping
Authors: Mas-Ribas Lluís , Sun Guochao , Chang Tzu-Ching , Gonzalez Michael O. , Mebane Richard H. 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
We present LIMFAST, a seminumerical code for simulating high-redshift galaxy formation and cosmic reionization as revealed by multitracer line intensity mapping (LIM) signals. LIMFAST builds upon and extends the 21cmFAST code widely used for 21 cm cosmology by implementing state-of-the-art models of galaxy formation and evolution. The metagalactic radiation background, including the production of various star formation lines, together with the 21 cm line signal tracing the neutral intergalactic medium (IGM), is self-consistently described by photoionization modeling and stellar population synthesis coupled to the galaxy formation model. We introduce basic structure and functionalities of the code, and demonstrate its validity and capabilities by showing broad agreements between the predicted and observed evolution of cosmic star formation, IGM neutral fraction, and metal enrichment. We also present the LIM signals of 21 cm, Lyα, Hα, Hβ, [O ii], and [O iii] lines simulated by LIMFAST, and compare them with results from the literature. We elaborate on how several major aspects of our modeling framework, including models of star formation, chemical enrichment, and photoionization, may impact different LIM observables and thus become testable once applied to observational data. LIMFAST aims at being an efficient and resourceful tool for intensity mapping studies in general, exploring a wide range of scenarios of galaxy evolution and reionization and frequencies over which useful cosmological signals can be measured.
Exoplanet Nodal Precession Induced by Rapidly Rotating Stars: Impacts on Transit Probabilities and Biases
Authors: Stephan Alexander P. , Gaudi B. Scott 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
For the majority of short-period exoplanets transiting massive stars with radiative envelopes, the spin angular momentum of the host star is greater than the planetary orbital angular momentum. In this case, the orbits of the planets will undergo nodal precession, which can significantly impact the probability that the planets transit their parent star. In particular, for some combinations of the spin–orbit angle ψ and the inclination of the stellar spin i
*, all such planets will eventually transit at some point over the duration of their precession period. Thus, as the time over which the sky has been monitored for transiting planets increases, the frequency of planets with detectable transits will increase, potentially leading to biased estimates of exoplanet occurrence rates, especially orbiting more-massive stars. Furthermore, due to the dependence of the precession period on orbital parameters such as spin–orbit misalignment, the observed distributions of such parameters may also be biased. We derive the transit probability of a given exoplanet in the presence of nodal precession induced by a rapidly spinning host star. We find that the effect of nodal precession has already started to become relevant for some short-period planets, i.e., hot Jupiters, orbiting massive stars, by increasing transit probabilities by order of a few percent for such systems within the original Kepler field. We additionally derive simple expressions to describe the time evolution of the impact parameter b for applicable systems, which should aid in future investigations of exoplanet nodal precession and spin–orbit alignment.

Abstract
Studying open clusters (OCs) may help to provide a comprehensive understanding of the structure and evolution of the Milky Way. Many previous studies have systematically searched for OCs near the solar system within 1.2 kpc or 20° of Galactic latitude. However, few studies have searched for OCs at higher Galactic latitudes and deeper distances. In this study, based on a hybrid unsupervised clustering algorithm (friends-of-friends and pyUPMASK) and a binary classification algorithm (random forest), we extended the search region (i.e., Galactic latitude

and performed a fine-grained blind search for Galactic clusters in Gaia DR3. After crossmatching, the newly discovered cluster candidates are fitted using isochrone fitting to estimate the main physical parameters (i.e., age and metallicity) of these clusters. These cluster candidates were then checked using manual visual inspection. Their statistical properties were also compared with previously exposed cluster catalogs. We found 1179 new clusters with considerable confidence within 5 kpc.
