DAC: Discriminative Associative Classification
Authors: Seyfi Majid , Xu Yue , Nayak Richi 
Published: May 2023

AbstractIn this paper, discriminative associative classification is proposed as a new classification technique based on class discriminative association rules (CDARs). These rules are defined based on discriminative itemsets. The discriminative itemset is frequent in one data class and has much higher frequencies compared with the same itemset in other data classes. The CDAR is a class associative rule (CAR) in one data class that has higher support compared with the same rule in other data classes. Compared to associative classification, there are additional challenges as the Apriori property of the subset is not applicable. The proposed algorithm is designed particularly based on well-defined distinguishing characteristics of the rules, to improve the accuracy and efficiency of the classification in data classes. A novel compact prefix-tree structure is defined for holding the rules in data classes. The empirical analysis shows the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed method on small and large real datasets.
Expanding the possible: exploring the role for heterodox economics in integrated climate-economy modeling
Authors: Proctor J. Christopher 
Published: May 2023

AbstractThis paper explores the degree to which heterodox economics can contribute to the development and use of climate-economy integrated assessment models. To do so, it introduces the field of integrated assessment modeling, with a focus on the core economic methodology used by various types of models. It then summarizes some of the literature critiquing these models and how they inform policy. The paper then provides an extended classification of ways in which heterodox economics could be applied to climate-economy models and presents a number of storylines, or pathways, which could be created using insights and methods from heterodox schools. The paper concludes with an assessment of the scope for heterodox economics to answer the criticisms of climate-economy models, finding that despite not resolving all issues, the heterodoxy has a substantial role to play.
On binding mechanism exploration of organic amphoteric dye Rhodamine B with natural polymeric DNA
Authors: Yanthan Senchumbeni , Bhattacharyya Jhimli 
Published: May 2023

AbstractNucleic acids, like DNA and RNA, are molecules that are present in any life form. Their most notable function is to encode biological information. DNA also has unique material properties, which attract material scientists, nanotechnologists, and engineers. The study and investigation of the structural and dynamical properties of complex biological systems have attracted considerable interest among scientists in general and physicists and biologists in particular.The alteration in DNA due to the introduction of any small molecule changes the overall function and stability of DNA. So quantitative information about the effects of such ligand binding on the structure and function of DNAs, are very much required. In this study, the interaction between natural polymeric DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid sodium salt from herring testes; derived from the sperm of herring fish) and organic amphoteric dye molecule (fluorescent, biomarker), Rhodamine B, has been studied quantitatively. An overview of the overall changes occurring in the macromolecule was estimated using multi-spectroscopic methods and complemented with computational analyses. The results obtained provide an understanding of the binding affinity, stoichiometry, and structural details of the ligand-DNA complex, followed by an estimation of associated binding thermodynamics. Finally, structure–function relationships and molecular aspects of ligand binding to DNA have been established in the current piece of research work, which can have multifaceted applications in drug development and pharmacology.
Eulophia gracilis pseudobulb extract mitigates cyclophosphamide-induced genotoxicity and oxidative stress on murine hepatic tissue
Authors: Ola Olaniyi Solomon , Odunola Oyeronke Adunni 
Published: May 2023

AbstractThe reports over the years on chemotherapeutic regimen involving cyclophosphamide (CYP), a bifunctional alkylating agent, demonstrated hepatotoxic side effect. Eulophia gracilis (EG) is a medicinal plant with folkloric utility in the treatment of liver damage and blood related diseases. However, there is a knowledge gap on the impact of E. gracilis effectiveness on CYP-associated hepatic toxicity in the literature. We investigated on potency of aqueous methanolic extract of E. gracilis (AMEG) and CYP-mediated hepatic toxicity in rats. Experimental rats were administered with CYP (2 mg/kg) or co-treated with AMEG (200 or 400 mg/kg) for 7 days consecutively. The result showed that co-treatment with AMEG significantly reduces alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, gamma glutamyl transferase and lactate dehydrogenase activities compared to the CYP group. Moreover, AMEG abated CYP-induced decreases in superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione peroxidase enzymes in the liver homogenate. AMEG alleviated CYP-facilitated surges of hepatic concentration of advanced oxidized protein product (AOPPs) and lipid peroxidation in rats. Additionally, AMEG reduced pathological lesions in the liver of co-treated rats and elicited anti-genotoxic effect by mitigating CYP-mediated increases of frequency of formation of polychromatic erythrocyte in the bone marrow and hepatic percentage DNA fragmentation in CYP-exposed rats. Overall, AMEG protective effect improved liver dysfunction occasioned by CYP-mediated toxicities in rats by abating oxidative stress and alleviating genotoxic responses.
Theoretical investigation of combining cooling tower and cooling coil with direct evaporative cooler
Authors: Aldamaad Munadhil A. H. , Kadhim Hakim T. 
Published: May 2023

AbstractA theoretical study is developed to examine the feasibility of using the cooling tower and the cooling coil with the direct evaporative cooler in the highest summer temperature in Karbala/Iraq. This is due to the inability of the direct evaporative cooler in reducing the outside air temperature and efficiency reduction in the mechanical vapor compression systems despite its high electrical energy consumption at high temperatures. The water in the cooling tower is cooled to a temperature higher than the outdoor wet-bulb temperature by (3.9 $$^\circ$$

∘

C). The water then passes through the cooling coil where the outdoor air is pre-cooled through it, and the outdoor air temperature decreases by (17 $$^\circ$$

∘

C) without an increase in humidity. Then the pre-cooled air passes through the direct evaporative cooler where its temperature decreases by (10 $$^\circ$$

∘

C) and humidity increases. The temperature of the air leaving this combining system is reduced by (27 $$^\circ$$

∘

C). The results showed that the temperature of the air leaving this combining system is adequate and passes through the comfort zone in the psychrometric chart. The results presented that the cooling tower and the cooling coil alone were unable to reduce the air temperature to reach the comfort zone. A similar observation is noted with the direct evaporative cooler. Therefore, the combining system is considered a more effective alternative to the direct evaporative cooler, and its effectiveness reaches more than 100%. Additionally, it is clean, environmentally friendly, energy efficient, and does not add heat to the surrounding environment in comparison with mechanical vapor compression systems.

Authors: Durand Philippe , Miatello Jordi , Martin Laurent , Carter Michael J. , Mbieleu Blaise , Bellocq Thomas , Morin Luc , Tissières Pierre 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
Background
Percutaneous tracheostomy is rarely used in children due to limited experience and safety concerns, in contrast to adult patients where the overwhelming majority of tracheostomies are placed via the percutaneous route. To assess the feasibility of percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy (PDT) using the modified fibroscopic-guided Ciaglia technique, we prospectively recorded and analyzed all PDT procedures performed for persistent failure to wean from mechanical ventilation and inability to protect the airway in our pediatric intensive care unit.

Results
From January 2003 to March 2022, 27 children (median age 12, range 5–17, years; median weight 38, range 19.5–80 kg; median PRISM II 10, range 6–11) underwent a PDT for acute encephalitis (10 children), neurovascular disease (5 children), and other indications, using a Shiley cannula ranging from 5.5 to 7 mm internal diameter (ID) after a median length of mechanical ventilation of 13 (range 10–22) days. Early complications included a few minor events, and we did not observe significant peristomal granulation nor infection. Three patients required transient tracheal stenting for suprastomal collapse, and four others developed severe subglottis (1) or substromal tracheal stenosis (3). The overall in-hospital mortality was 27%. Among the long-term survivors, cannulas were removed in 85% of cases after a median length of tracheostomy of 47 (range 31–77) days.

Conclusions
PDT is feasible and could be an alternative option to traditional surgical tracheostomy in adolescents and children over the age of 5.
Intergenerational risk sharing in a defined contribution pension system: analysis with Bayesian optimization
Authors: Chen An , Kanagawa Motonobu , Zhang Fangyuan 
Published: May 2023

AbstractWe study a fully funded, collective defined contribution (DC) pension system with multiple overlapping generations. We investigate whether the welfare of participants can be improved by intergenerational risk sharing (IRS) implemented with a realistic investment strategy (e.g., no borrowing) and without an outside entity (e.g., shareholders) that helps finance the pension fund. To implement IRS, the pension system uses an automatic adjustment rule for the indexation of individual accounts, which adapts to the notional funding ratio of the pension system. The pension system has two parameters that determine the investment strategy and the strength of the adjustment rule, which are optimized by expected utility maximization using Bayesian optimization. The volatility of the retirement benefits and that of the funding ratio are analyzed, and it is shown that the trade-off between them can be controlled by the optimal adjustment parameter to attain IRS. Compared with the optimal individual DC benchmark using the life cycle strategy, the studied pension system with IRS is shown to improve the welfare of risk-averse participants, when the financial market is volatile.
Why did doctrinal religions first appear in the Northern Subtropical Zone?
Authors: Dunbar R.I.M. 
Published: May 2023

AbstractDoctrinal religions that involve recognised gods, more formal theologies, moral codes, dedicated religious spaces and professional priesthoods emerged in two phases during the Neolithic. Almost all of these appeared in a narrow latitudinal band (the northern Subtropical Zone). I suggest that these developments were the result of a need to facilitate community bonding in response to scalar stresses that developed as community sizes increased dramatically beyond those typical of hunter–gatherer societies. Conditions for population growth (as indexed by rainfall patterns and the difference between pathogen load and the length of the growing season) were uniquely optimised in this zone, creating an environment of ecological release in which populations could grow unusually rapidly. The relationship between latitude, religion and language in contemporary societies suggests that the peculiar characteristics of the northern (but not the southern) Subtropical Zone were especially favourable for the evolution of large scale religions as a way of enforcing community cohesion.

AbstractWe present new data from the debris-rich basal ice layers of the NEEM ice core (NW Greenland). Using mineralogical observations, SEM imagery, geochemical data from silicates (meteoric10Be, εNd,87Sr/86Sr) and organic material (C/N, δ13C), we characterize the source material, succession of previous glaciations and deglaciations and the paleoecological conditions during ice-free episodes. Meteoric10Be data and grain features indicate that the ice sheet interacted with paleosols and eroded fresh bedrock, leading to mixing in these debris-rich ice layers. Our analysis also identifies four successive stages in NW Greenland: (1) initial preglacial conditions, (2) glacial advance 1, (3) glacial retreat and interglacial conditions and (4) glacial advance 2 (current ice-sheet development). C/N and δ13C data suggest that deglacial environments favored the development of tundra and taiga ecosystems. These two successive glacial fluctuations observed at NEEM are consistent with those identified from the Camp Century core basal sediments over the last 3 Ma. Further inland, GRIP and GISP2 summit sites have remained glaciated more continuously than the western margin, with less intense ice-substratum interactions than those observed at NEEM.
INVESTIGATING THE COMPUTABLE FRIEDMAN–STANLEY JUMP

, recently introduced by Clemens, Coskey, and Krakoff. We offer a thorough analysis of the computable Friedman–Stanley jump and its connections with the hierarchy of countable equivalence relations under the computable reducibility

Cesare Cremonini's non-theological cosmology: a contribution to Padua's secular culture in times of wars of religion
Authors: Omodeo Pietro Daniel 
Published: May 2023

AbstractThis essay deals with the cultural-political motivations behind the cosmological conceptions of the Padua Aristotelian Cesare Cremonini (1550–1631). A defender of the interests of the university against Jesuit teachings, and one of the philosophers who was most frequently scrutinized by the Inquisition, he was an important actor in Venetian cultural politics during the years of European religious conflict that culminated in the Thirty Years War. In those years, he was officially titled ‘protector’ of the multi-confessional German Nation of Artists, one of the largest groups of foreign students at the University of Padua, and had to act as mediator in cases of conflict. His efforts to keep teaching free from religious concerns is reflected by his commitment to pursue philosophical and cosmological inquiries without engaging in revealed theology. In particular, his strict adherence to Aristotelian cosmology proved to be at odds with central Christian dogmas as it relinquished, among other concepts, the ideas of Creation and divine Providence. I argue that this position of Cremonini's fostered a tolerant and universalistic attitude in line with a secular programme that could enable cross-confessional coexistence in a cosmopolitan institution like Padua.
A unique Silandos medallion of Faustina II from Blaundos in Lydia
Authors: Tatar Ömer 
Published: May 2023

AbstractDuring the 2019 archaeological excavation season in Blaundos, a Roman-period bronze medallion was found within a wall of a Byzantine-period structure on the main street. It is a medallion struck by the Lydian city of Silandos, bearing the bust of Faustina II on the obverse and Marcus Aurelius clasping hands with Lucius Verus on the reverse. A literature search revealed that it is a rare and unpublished specimen. NeitherRPC, the largest database of Roman Provincial Coinage, nor auction databases record any example of it. The iconography, combining the portrait of the empress with a depiction of the co-emperors of the period, does not point to any specific event or incident. The reverse die was, however, used for another medallion struck later by Silandos. This paper aims to introduce, interpret, and discuss this unique Lydian medallion from the 2nd c. CE.
Recommending tasks based on search queries and missions

AbstractWeb search is an experience that naturally lends itself to recommendations, including query suggestions and related entities. In this article, we propose to recommend specific tasks to users, based on their search queries, such as planning a holiday trip or organizing a party. Specifically, we introduce the problem of query-based task recommendation and develop methods that combine well-established term-based ranking techniques with continuous semantic representations, including sentence representations from several transformer-based models. Using a purpose-built test collection, we find that our method is able to significantly outperform a strong text-based baseline. Further, we extend our approach to using a set of queries that all share the same underlying task, referred to as search mission, as input. The study is rounded off with a detailed feature and query analysis.
Stock market alphas help predict macroeconomic innovations
Authors: Hung Mao-Wei , Yeh Andy Jia-Yuh 
Published: May 2023

AbstractWe extract dynamic conditional factor premiums from the Fama-French factor model and find that most anomalies disappear after one accounts for time variation in these premiums. Vector autoregression evidence shows that mutual causation between dynamic conditional alphas and macroeconomic surprises serves as a core qualifying condition for fundamental factor selection. This economic insight is an incremental step toward drawing a distinction between rational risk and behavioral mispricing models. To the extent that dynamic conditional alphas can reveal the marginal investor’s fundamental news and expectations about the cross-section of average asset returns, our economic insight helps enrich macroeconomic asset return prediction.
From Neolithic Revolution to industrialization
Authors: Chu Angus C. , Xu Rongxin 
Published: May 2023

AbstractThis study develops a Malthusian model for the evolution of human society from hunting-gathering to agriculture and from agriculture to industrial production. Human society evolves across these stages as the population grows. However, under endogenous population growth, the population may stop growing at any stage. If it fails to reach the first threshold, the population remains as hunter-gatherers. If it reaches the first threshold, an agricultural society emerges. Then, if the population fails to reach the industrial threshold, it remains in an agricultural Malthusian trap without experiencing industrialization. Interestingly, high agricultural productivity triggers not only the Neolithic Revolution but also the subsequent industrialization. Using cross-country data to test this result, we employ an index of prehistoric biogeographic conditions that affect agricultural productivity as an instrument for the timing of transitions to agriculture and find that an earlier transition to agriculture has a positive effect on industrialization in the modern era.
How do you Behave as a Psychometrician? Research Conduct in the Context of Psychometric Research
Authors: Flores-Kanter Pablo Ezequiel , Mosquera Mariano 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
The identification of fraudulent and questionable research conduct is not something new. However, in the last 12 years the aim has been to identify specific problems and concrete solutions applicable to each area of knowledge. For example, previous work has focused on questionable and responsible research conducts associated with clinical assessment, measurement practices in psychology and related sciences; or applicable to specific areas of study, such as suicidology. One area of study that merits further study of questionable and responsible research behaviors is psychometrics. Focusing on psychometric research is important and necessary, as without adequate evidence of construct validity the overall validity of the research is at least debatable. Our interest here is to (a) identifying questionable research conduct specifically linked to psychometric studies; and (b) promoting greater awareness and widespread application of responsible research conduct in psychometrics research. We believe that the identification and recognition of these conducts is important and will help us to improve our daily work as psychometricians.

AbstractThe South Atlantic Ocean plays a key role in the heat exchange of the climate system, as it hosts the returning flow of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). To gain insights on this role, using data from three hydrographic cruises conducted in the South Atlantic Subtropical gyre at 34.5°S, 24°S, and 10°W, we identify water masses and compute absolute geostrophic circulation using inverse modeling. In the upper layers, the currents describe the South Atlantic anticyclonic gyre with the northwest flowing Benguela Current (26.3 ± 2.0 Sv at 34.5°S, and 21.2 ± 1.8 Sv at 24°S) flowing above the Mid‐Atlantic Ridge (MAR) between 22.4°S and 28.4°S (−19.2 ± 1.4 Sv), and the southward flowing Brazil Current (−16.5 ± 1.3 Sv at 34.5°S, and −7.3 ± 0.9 Sv at 24°S); the deep layers feature the southward transports of Deep Western Boundary Current (−13.9 ± 3.0 Sv at 34.5°S, and −8.7 ± 3.8 Sv at 24°S) and Deep Eastern Boundary Current (−15.1 ± 3.5 Sv at 34.5°S, and −16.3 ± 4.7 Sv at 24°S), with the interbasin west‐to‐east flow close to 24°S (7.5 ± 4.4 Sv); the abyssal waters present northward mass transports through the Argentina Basin (5.6 ± 1.1 Sv at 34.5°S, and 5.8 ± 1.5 Sv at 24°S) and Cape Basin (8.6 ± 3.5 Sv at 34.5°S–3.0 ± 0.8 Sv at 24°S) before returning southward (−2.2 ± 0.7 Sv at 24°S to −7.9 ± 3.6 Sv at 34.5°S), without any interbasin exchange across the MAR. In addition, we compute the upper AMOC strength (14.8 ± 1.0 and 17.5 ± 0.9 Sv), the equatorward heat transport (0.30 ± 0.05 and 0.80 ± 0.05 PW), and the freshwater flux (0.18 ± 0.02 and −0.07 ± 0.02 Sv) at 34.5°S and 24°S, respectively.
