Evaluating plate discipline in Major League Baseball with Bayesian Additive Regression Trees
Authors: Yee Ryan , Deshpande Sameer K. 
Published: September 2023

AbstractWe introduce a three-step framework to determine at which pitches Major League batters should swing. Unlike traditional plate discipline metrics, which implicitly assume that all batters should always swing at (resp. take) pitches inside (resp. outside) the strike zone, our approach explicitly accounts not only for the players and umpires involved in the pitch but also in-game contextual information like the number of outs, the count, baserunners, and score. We first fit flexible Bayesian nonparametric models to estimate (i) the probability that the pitch is called a strike if the batter takes the pitch; (ii) the probability that the batter makes contact if he swings; and (iii) the number of runs the batting team is expected to score following each pitch outcome (e.g. swing and miss, take a called strike, etc.). We then combine these intermediate estimates to determine whether swinging increases the batting team’s run expectancy. Our approach enables natural uncertainty propagation so that we can not only determine the optimal swing/take decision but also quantify our confidence in that decision. We illustrate our framework using a case study of pitches faced by Mike Trout in 2019.

Abstract
As an important device to control the drilling direction in the drilling process, centralizer plays an important role in slowing the deviation and improving the casing centering degree. This paper makes a detailed analysis on the fracture failure of centralizer after multiple repair welding. First, the macroscopic appearance of the port is observed by macroscopic inspection. Secondly, the physical and chemical performance analysis shows that all indicators meet the requirements of the indicators. Finally, through the microscopic morphology, energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) and other means to analyze the port crack source, combined with a variety of tests to find the true cause of fracture failure centralizer. After inspection, it was found that the centralizer was fatigue fracture, and showed multi-source cracking characteristics. Therefore, strict control of centralizer especially after repair welding quality, strengthen the quality inspection of centralizer, to carry out the relevant thermal processing technology research, and further effectively prevent the occurrence of fracture failure.
Two-component excitation governance of giant wave clusters with the partially nonlocal nonlinearity
Authors: Chen Yi-Xiang 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Vector giant wave cluster solutions of (2+1)-dimensional coupled partially nonlocal nonlinear Schrödinger equation are found by means of a coupled relation with the Darboux method. These vector optical field components display different excitation governance behaviors. The effective distance in the coupled relation has a maximum. Comparing this maximum with the excited values at the location of the giant wave peaks in the cluster, the excitation governance of giant wave cluster is achieved.

Emlékszerűség és egyöntetűség. Hauszmann, Stróbl, Lotz és a budapesti Igazságügyi palota központi csarnoka
Authors: Jernyei Kiss János 
Published: September 2023

The Palace of Justice opened in 1896 is among the country’s most important public buildings; its central hall is one of the most grandiose spaces of late historicism in size and decoration. A year after its inauguration Alajos Hauszmann, the architect, summed up the construction history and programme of the building, and the work appeared in ornate folio edition in 1901. the architect designed the central hall in the style of Rome’s baroque architecture reviving the spirit of antiquity, and also drew on the tradition of the space type of salles des pas perdus. As regards space forms and structures, its relatives are the halls of the palaces of justice in paris, Antwerp and Strasbourg.The placing of the Justitia statue dominating the space was probably inspired by the central hall of Vienna’s Justizpalast and is permeated with the memory of antique temple interiors abounding in giant cultic statues. With its hieratic character, Stróbl’s statue reminds us of classical Rome’s enthroned Minerva and Dea Roma statues, the modelling of the dress and mantle imitating the Hellenistic and Roman baroque drapery styles.The 19th century reconstructions of the rich mosaic and sculptural decorations of the spaces, walls and vaults of the Roman baths must have fertilized Hauszmann’s imagination and inspired him to envision the colouring and gilding of the surfaces and painted decoration of the ceiling, although the latter was also influenced by Roman baroque fresco painting. Károly Lotz designed the illusory architecture of the ceiling painting after Andrea del Pozzo by taking care to align the painted architectonic details with the framing mouldings and ornaments.A cardinal element of the architectural program was the deliberately monumental effect and “homogeneity” of which – in Hauszmann’s view – fine arts were the “precondition and the instruments”. He himself chose the painter and sculptor for the decoration of the hall, because he deemed it important to give them “direction” and “enlightenment” through his personal influence to achieve a “homogeneously harmonious creation”. As a result, both the sculptor’s and the painter’s adaptation to Roman models and to the grandiosity of the formal idiom and dimensions of the hall can be perceived.

Purpose. To study the eﬃcacy and safety of total neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) with the FOLFIRINOX regimen for locally advanced gastric (GC) and cardioesophageal junction (CEJ) cancer.Patients and methods. Patients with histologically conﬁrmed locally advanced gastric adenocarcinoma and CEJ, clinical stage cT3 or higher and/or regional lymph node involvement (cN+), without evidence of distant metastasis were included in our open-label, single-centre, non-randomised study. In the FLOT control group, patients received 4 courses preoperatively and 4 postoperatively with follow-up. I In the FOLFIRINOX group 8 courses of chemotherapy were administered in neoadjuvant mode, followed by surgery and observation. The tumor regression grade was assessed in accordance with Becker, Mandard and G. A. Lavnikova scales.Results. The study included 136 patients, 119 of whom started treatment according to the protocol (ITT population). Fiﬅy-nine patients were enrolled into the FLOT group and 60 into the FOLFIRINOX group. One-year progression-free survival (PFS) was 67,5 % in the FLOT group and 90,4 % in the FOLFIRINOX group (p = 0,29). The estimated 2-year PFS in the FLOT group was 61,4 % [95 % CI, 48,4–77,9 %]. Median PFS and overall survival (OS) were not reached. The incidence of events (progression or death) was lower in the FOLFIRINOX group (odds ratio [OR] 0,40 [95 % CI 0,16–0,97, p = 0,047]). Adverse prognostic factors regardless of treatment were lymphatic (L1), vascular (V1) and perineural invasion (Pn1), and regional lymph node involvement aﬅer chemotherapy (ypN+) [p = 0,046; p = 0,014; p = 0,0021; p = 0,04, respectively]. There was no correlation between pathological complete response and survival rates.Conclusion. Total neoadjuvant chemotherapy with the FOLFIRINOX regimen for locally advanced GC/ CEJ demonstrated comparable to the perioperative FLOT one-year PFS rate. No association was found between tumor regression grade and survival outcomes.

Objective. Studying the levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), nerve growth factor (NGF-β), and neurotrophin 3 (NT3) in the cerebral cortex and subcortical substance of female rats in an experimental model of extracerebral growth of malignant tumor under conditions of induced hypothyroidism.Materials and methods. An experiment was performed on 47 white non-linear female rats: 10 rats each in the intact group, control group 1 (induced hypothyroidism), control group 2 (subcutaneous growth of Guerin’s carcinoma), main group (combination of pathologies); 7 rats in the group with subcutaneous tumor growth to assess life expectancy. Hypothyroidism was induced by per os administration of thiamazole (mercazolil, Akrikhin, Russia), daily dose of 2.5 mg/100 g of body weight, course of 30 days; total thyroxine and thyroid stimulating hormone were determined in blood serum by RIA (Immunotech, Czech Republic). When persistent hypothyroidism was achieved, Guerin’s carcinoma was transplanted under the skin as standard. Aﬅer decapitation on the 18th day aﬅer transplantation, the content of BDNF, NGF-β, NT3 (R&D System, RayBiotech, USA) was determined in 10 % homogenates of the cortex and subcortical substance subcortex of the brain (R&D System, RayBiotech, USA).Results. In the cortex in control groups 1 and 2, the level of BDNF was 2.6- and 1.6-fold lower, respectively, and NGF-β was 2.2-fold higher on average than in the intact group. NT3 levels in the control group 1 were 3.0- and 1.6-fold lower in the cortex and subcortical substance, respectively. In the control group 2, the levels of NT3 and NGF-β were higher in the subcortical matter than in the intact group by 2.4-fold and 3.1-fold, respectively. In the cortex and subcortical substance in the main group, only NGF-β levels were higher on average by 1.7 times, with values being intermediate between the corresponding values in control groups 1 and 2.Conclusion. Changes in the levels of all neurotrophins in hypothyroidism were most pronounced in the cortex, while in independent tumor growth, NGF-β in the cortex and subcortical substance and NT3 only in subcortical substance changed the most. When the pathologies were combined, only NGF-β was altered in the cortex and subcortical substance. Apparently, there is an interaction of the tumor and the CNS with changes in the balance of regulatory signals in the subcortical areas of the brain, that reﬂecting the connection with the biological characteristics of an active or inhibited (in presence of hypothyroidism) tumor growth.

Published: September 2023

Purpose. Evaluation of the eﬀect of smoking on the immediate eﬀectiveness (achievement of objective response – OR) of induction chemotherapy in patients receiving combined treatment for locally advanced HPV-positive squamous cell carcinoma of the oropharynx.Patients and methods. Sixty-eight patients (51 men and 17 women) with locally advanced squamous cell cancer of the oropharynx associated with papillomavirus were included in the study, which was carried out from 2021 to 2023 at the P. Hertsen Moscow Oncology Research Institute – Branch of the National Medical Research Radiological Centre, Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, Moscow, Russian Federation and the Municipal Clinical Oncological Hospital № 1 of the Department of Health of Moscow. The patients were divided into 2 equal groups, fully comparable in terms of the main characteristics (smoking history, stage, histological type, and degree of tumour diﬀerentiation). At the ﬁrst stage, patients of the 1st (main) group received de-escalated induction chemotherapy: three 21-day courses according to the TR scheme (docetaxel in the dose of 75 mg/m2 + cisplatin 75 mg/m2); patients of the 2nd (control) group were treated with standard scheme (docetaxel 75 mg/m2 + cisplatin 75 mg/m2 + 5-ﬂuorouracil 1000 mg/m2). Patients in both groups received prophylactic granulocyte colony-stimulating factor. At the second stage, standard chemoradiotherapy was carried out against the background of drug radiomodiﬁcation with carboplatin. Correlation analysis was performed by calculating the Spearman coeﬃcient with Bonferroni correction. Diﬀerences were considered reliable at p < 0.05.Results. When evaluating the objective response to treatment, it was revealed that disease control was achieved in 33 (97 %) patients from group 1 and in all 34 (100 %) patients from group 2. Complete response was observed in 3 (8.8 %) patients from group 1 and 4 (11.8 %) from group 2; partial regression in 22 (64.7 %) and 24 (70.6 %); stabilisation of the tumour process in 8 (23.5 %) and 6 (17.6 %) respectively. Further analysis showed that there was no direct or inverse correlation between smoking and diﬀerentiated level of response (primary lesion, altered lymph nodes); all patients (smokers and those who had never smoked) responded equally eﬀectively to the ﬁrst stage of combined treatment, regardless of the ICT regimen.Conclusion. In our study, no statistically signiﬁcant eﬀect of smoking on the immediate eﬀectiveness of induction chemotherapy in the combined treatment of locally advanced HPV-associated squamous cell carcinoma of the oropharynx regardless of the induction regimen was found. However, a longer follow-up period is needed to evaluate the eﬀect of smoking on long-term oncological outcomes.
Deep Postseismic Creep Following Large Earthquakes Revealed by Repeating Aftershocks in the Southeastern Tibetan Plateau
Authors: Liu Shujun , Tang Chi-Chia 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Large earthquake occurrence and the subsequent postseismic period are the most dramatic part of a seismic cycle that usually lasts months to years. However, the fault dynamics that account for the postseismic events are yet to be fully understood. Here, we use the repeating aftershock sequences (RASs) to investigate postseismic slips following the Mw 6.6 Lushan, Mw 6.5 Jiuzhaigou, Mw 6.1 Jinggu, and Mw 6.2 Ludian earthquakes in the southeastern Tibetan Plateau and find 135 RASs following the mainshocks. The RAS seismicity suggests that seismogenic faults began to creep in depth within a few hours after the Lushan, Jiuzhaigou, and Jinggu mainshocks. The deep creeps mainly follow a velocity-strengthening friction mode and decay with an Omori law p-value of ∼1. The results suggest that the combination of fault healing and geometry together controls deep fault behaviors. We develop two conceptual models to explain our observations. Our results provide new insights into spatiotemporal fault evolution after large earthquakes.

Crust-Mantle Interaction Controls the Formation of High-Mg Adakitic Rocks: Evidence from Early Cretaceous Intrusive Complexes in Luxi Terrane, North China Craton

Published: September 2023

AbstractHigh-Mg adakite rocks preserve crucial information about the crust-mantle interactions during the magma evolution. The Luxi Terrane, southeastern North China Craton, stores a set of Early Cretaceous high-Mg adakite rocks; nevertheless, their petrogenesis remains controversial. In this study, we present new whole-rock geochemistry, zircon U-Pb-Hf isotopes in the Tiezhai, Jinxingtou, and Sanshanyu complexes which are composed of gabbroic diorite, diorites, syenites, and monzonites. Field observations and zircon U-Pb dating indicate that all of the rock units crystallized contemporaneously at ca. 125–120 Ma. They are characterized by high Al2O3 and Sr contents, and low MgO, Y, Yb, and heavy rare earth elements contents, coupled with high Sr/Y values (42–163), showing adakitic affinities. The magma mixing process is supported by the following ample evidence: (1) the disequilibrium mineral textures and mafic enclaves; (2) high Mg# values (37–69, Mean = 58); and (3) widely zircons εHf(t) values (−25.6 to +7.8). The signature geochemical characteristics support that the adakites were generated by magma mixing of ancient crust-derived melts and relatively mafic melts from metasomatized mantle source. In combined with regional geology, the Early Cretaceous high-Mg adakites in Luxi Terrane represent the magmatic response of intensive crust-mantle interaction caused by the underplating of voluminous mantle-derived magma in an extension intracontinental setting.

Abstract
The initial timing of extension during the Cenozoic around the northeastern margin of the Ordos Block, western North China Craton (NCC), is still poorly constrained. Apatite (U-Th)/He low-temperature thermochronology was thus applied on eight pre-Cenozoic granitic and gneissic samples transecting the eastern Daqingshan Mountains, northeastern margin of the Ordos Block, to investigate the denudation and cooling event related to the onset of extension therein. Four mean corrected AHe ages in the southern part are overlapped within the standard deviations of 50.0 ± 0.4 to 45.0 ± 8.0 Ma. However, three mean corrected AHe ages in the northern part are prominently older of 99.2 ± 11.0 to 86.6 ± 17.1 Ma, with the rest one of 56.1 ± 8.6 Ma. Altogether, they show a younger-older-younger-older pattern along the transect correlated with the normal faults. AHe thermal history modeling results further demonstrate extensive cooling during the Late Cretaceous but differential cooling during the Late Paleocene–Eocene. The Late Cretaceous extensive cooling in the eastern Daqingshan Mountains, as well as the contemporaneous deposition hiatus in both the eastern Daqingshan Mountains and the Hohhot Depression, together indicates overall denudation in the northeastern margin of the Ordos Block at that time. The Late Paleocene–Eocene differential cooling is probably induced by the tilting of the eastern Daqingshan Mountains as a result of the extension suggested by the distribution of AHe ages. It corresponds to the syn-tectonic subsidence in the Hohhot Depression, indicating a basin-mountain coupling. Regional comparative analysis manifests similar extension around the Ordos Block and more widely across the NCC during the Late Paleocene–Eocene. Temporally, kinematically, and dynamically coupled with this regional extension event, the subduction of the Izanagi-Pacific plate probably plays a major role. However, the contribution of the India-Asia collision could not be ignored.
