First-order processes of the de Sitter QED in the rest frame vacuum
Authors: Cotăescu Ion I. 
Published: August 2022

AbstractThe processes in the first order of perturbations of de Sitter quantum electrodynamics (QED) in Coulomb gauge are studied but setting our recently proposed rest frame vacuum of the Dirac field instead of the traditional adiabatic one. This vacuum gives rise to a new phenomenology favouring the transitions between neutral states, i.e. the pair creation from a photon and the lepton creation from vacuum, while the transitions between charged states are inhibited. The probabilities per unit of volume and unit of time are derived in the conformal chart according to a new definition that holds even if the energy is no longer conserved. Surprisingly, these probabilities have new logarithmic singularities apart from the poles usually arising in perturbations. These singularities affect the probabilities in the critical positions in which the fermion momenta are either parallel or anti-parallel and the helicity is conserved. To remove all these singularities, a regularization is first performed to extract the logarithmic one before removing the poles, applying the usual reduction procedure. It is shown that the resulting reduced probabilities reach their maxima only in the critical positions, thus complying with the helicity conservation. The corresponding time-dependent probabilities in the physical local chart govern a simple model of fermion creation from vacuum, $$vac\rightarrow \gamma +e^++e^-\rightarrow (e^++e^-)+e^++e^-$$

Published: August 2022

Introduction: The SpineJackⓇ (SJ) system received FDA clearance in 2018, therefore this device is currently available to perform kyphoplasty in osteoporotic vertebral fractures. This study aims to assess the outcome of the SJ system in the management of vertebral fragility fractures (VFFs). Evidence Acquisition and Synthesis: OVID-MEDLINEⓇ, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, SCOPUS, Springer Link, Web of Science, Google Scholar and PubMed were searched from January 2015 to November 2021 to identify relevant studies. The methodological qualities of the studies were evaluated, and relevant data were extracted. Seven clinical trials, recruiting 644 patients with 690 VFFs were included. Although PVP, balloon kyphoplast (BKP) and SJ showed comparable effectiveness in back pain relief in patients with VFFs, SJ showed a faster and higher pain relief and a better quality of life, compared with the other two augmentation techniques. Moreover, patients treated with SJ, compared with PVP and BKP, showed a better vertebral body height (VBH) restoration and kyphotic correction; these findings were confirmed also at long-term follow-up. Asymptomatic cement leakage and adjacent level fractures (ALFs) were observed in patients treated with SJ, but with a lower incidence compared with PVP and BKP. Conclusions: This systematic review shows that SJ has an excellent risk/benefit profile and is more effective than the other augmentation techniques in VBH restoration and kyphotic correction. These findings correlate with a better postoperative quality of life.
Sampling-based Sublinear Low-rank Matrix Arithmetic Framework for Dequantizing Quantum Machine Learning
Authors: Chia Nai-Hui , Gilyén András Pal , Li Tongyang , Lin Han-Hsuan , Tang Ewin , Wang Chunhao 
Published: August 2022

We present an algorithmic framework for quantum-inspired classical algorithms on close-to-low-rank matrices, generalizing the series of results started by Tang’s breakthrough quantum-inspired algorithm for recommendation systems [STOC’19]. Motivated by quantum linear algebra algorithms and the quantum singular value transformation (SVT) framework of Gilyén et al. [STOC’19], we develop classical algorithms for SVT that run in time independent of input dimension, under suitable quantum-inspired sampling assumptions. Our results give compelling evidence that in the corresponding QRAM data structure input model, quantum SVT does not yield exponential quantum speedups. Since the quantum SVT framework generalizes essentially all known techniques for quantum linear algebra, our results, combined with sampling lemmas from previous work, suffice to generalize all prior results about dequantizing quantum machine learning algorithms. In particular, our classical SVT framework recovers and often improves the dequantization results on recommendation systems, principal component analysis, supervised clustering, support vector machines, low-rank regression, and semidefinite program solving. We also give additional dequantization results on low-rank Hamiltonian simulation and discriminant analysis. Our improvements come from identifying the key feature of the quantum-inspired input model that is at the core of all prior quantum-inspired results: ℓ

-norm sampling can approximate matrix products in time independent of their dimension. We reduce all our main results to this fact, making our exposition concise, self-contained, and intuitive.
Independence in Infinite Probabilistic Databases
Authors: Grohe Martin , Lindner Peter 
Published: August 2022

Probabilistic databases (PDBs) model uncertainty in data. The current standard is to view PDBs as finite probability spaces over relational database instances. Since many attributes in typical databases have infinite domains, such as integers, strings, or real numbers, it is often more natural to view PDBs as infinite probability spaces over database instances. In this article, we lay the mathematical foundations of infinite probabilistic databases. Our focus then is on independence assumptions. Tuple-independent PDBs play a central role in theory and practice of PDBs. Here we study infinite tuple-independent PDBs as well as related models such as infinite block-independent disjoint PDBs. While the standard model of PDBs focuses on a set-based semantics, we also study tuple-independent PDBs with a bag semantics and independence in PDBs over uncountable fact spaces.
We also propose a new approach to PDBs with an open-world assumption, addressing issues raised by Ceylan et al. (Proc. KR 2016) and generalizing their work, which is still rooted in finite tuple-independent PDBs.
Moreover, for countable PDBs we propose an approximate query answering algorithm.
Decentralized Asynchronous Crash-resilient Runtime Verification
Authors: Bonakdarpour Borzoo , Fraigniaud Pierre , Rajsbaum Sergio , Rosenblueth David , Travers Corentin 
Published: August 2022

Runtime verification
is a lightweight method for monitoring the formal specification of a system during its execution. It has recently been shown that a given state predicate can be monitored consistently by a set of crash-prone asynchronous
distributed
monitors observing the system, only if each monitor can emit verdicts taken from a
large enough
finite set. We revisit this impossibility result in the concrete context of linear-time logic (
ltl
) semantics for runtime verification, that is, when the correctness of the system is specified by an
ltl
formula on its execution traces. First, we show that monitors synthesized based on the 4-valued semantics of
ltl
(
rv-ltl
) may result in inconsistent distributed monitoring, even for some simple
ltl
formulas. More generally, given any
ltl
formula φ, we relate the number of different verdicts required by the monitors for consistently monitoring φ, with a specific structural characteristic of φ called its
alternation number
. Specifically, we show that, for every
k ≥ 0
, there is an
ltl
formula φ with alternation number
k
that cannot be verified at runtime by distributed monitors emitting verdicts from a set of cardinality smaller than
k
+ 1. On the positive side, we define a family of logics, called
distributed
ltl
(abbreviated as
dltl
), parameterized by
k
≥ 0, which refines
rv-ltl
by incorporating
2k
+ 4 truth values. Our main contribution is to show that, for every
k
≥ 0, every
ltl
formula φ with alternation number
k
can be consistently monitored by distributed monitors, each running an automaton based on a (2 ⌈
k
/2 ⌉ +4)-valued logic taken from the
dltl
family.

Published: August 2022

This work is aimed at exploring the nursing strategies and effects of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) with refractory hypotension under the background of smart health. 40 ESRD patients with refractory hypotension who received CRRT treatment were enrolled as the research objects and were randomly rolled into the intervention group and the control group, with 20 cases in each group. Patients in the control group received routine nursing, and those in the intervention group received individualized nursing. The incidence of hypotension, dry body weight, serous cavity effusion, renal function indicators (blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine (Cre)), and patient satisfaction were compared between the two groups. The results showed that the probability of hypotension in the intervention group was 9.38%, which was lower than that in the control group (34.38%). The probability of early termination of dialysis in the intervention group was 0%, which was lower than that in the control group (18.75%), and the difference was statistically significant (

P

). The decreases of BUN and Cre in the intervention group were significantly greater than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (

P

). The ultrafiltration volume after dialysis in the intervention group was

). The satisfaction rate of the intervention group was 97.66%, which was higher than that of the control group (65.63%). In conclusion, individualized nursing was more helpful to the recovery of ESRD patients with refractory hypotension treated with CRRT than routine nursing.
High stability in color chromaticity of warm White emitting Diode with Dual-Hue SrSi2O2N2:Eu2+,Yb2+ Oxynitridosilicate Phosphorus
Authors: Nguyen Thi My Hanh , Xuan Le Phan , Le Thai Nguyen 
Published: August 2022

<span>In this study, we analyzed and developed a phosphor with a nitridiosilicate based and emitting color changing from green to orange to apply to our white-light-emitting diodes (WLEDs). Eu<sup>2+</sup> and Yb<sup>2+</sup> trap sites of two-doped SrSi<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>N<sub>2</sub>:Eu<sup>2+</sup>,Yb<sup>2+</sup> (SrYb) nitridosilicate emit a wide emission in the region between green and orange. Through calculating the decompose time of the green-emission power donor, we could determine the converted energy between the active ions. Furthermore, we also analyzed the impact of co-doping with varied active ion ratios on the photoluminescence (PL) characteristics. As the concentration of Yb<sup>2+</sup> increases, the red emission dominates the green. This was because the obtained phoshor's emission depended on the activator ion components. To generate white light, a combination of the acquired phosphor and the InGaN blue LED chip with a 450 nm wavelength was used. With only two steps, we could detect the hue balance management. Firstly, by modifying the Eu<sup>2+</sup> and Yb<sup>2+</sup> concentration, we can conduct a green-to-orange proportion optimization. Following that, the commission onillumination (CIE) coordinates were transformed to [0.4071; 0.3789] from the original position, which was [0.2805; 0.2014] by enhancing the phosphor powder amount. An environment which has a CRI of around 89 is the optimum condition for conducting white light.</span>

Authors: Al-Adhami Ayad , Hasoun Rajaa K. , K. Gbashi Ekhlas , Hassan Soukaena 
Published: August 2022

This paper introduces a secure communication protocol that provides secured communication pathways to manipulate drones through unsecured communication. The deployment of the proposed protocol works through providing two secured communication paths; drones to the drone’s controller path and controller to data centre path. The first secured communication path has achieved a high level of security and privacy by using a modification of SHA-1 method and an advanced encryption method. The modification of the SHA-1 is called 83SHA-1. These modifications can increase rounds in the first stage up to 83 rounds, inject each round with expansion and S-Boxes procedures that are used in DES to extend length from 160 to 240 bits then reduce it from 240 to 160 bits. After hash data from the drone then use the advanced encryption method which is called Geffe-Genetic (GG) Encryption algorithm where three types of keys will be used for deception attackers. The second accomplishment is to ensure providing secure communication between the drone’s controller and datacentre by using RNA-RADG-CBC (RRCBC) encryption algorithm where will generate an initialization vector (IV) for cipher block chaining (CBC) randomly, generate keys, and propose an encryption/decryption method. The security analysis shows a promising high security level of drones’s data.
An approach to classify distraction driver detection system by using mining techniques

Published: August 2022

According to the motor vehicle safety division, over the past 5-10 years, usage of motor vehicles has rapidly increased, in that specifical usage of cars has grown tremendously. The major contribution of this paper is a systematic evaluation of the scholarly literature on driver distraction detection techniques. Our driver distraction detection framework offers a systematic overview of evaluated methodologies for detecting driver attention. So, we need to develop a model that classifies each driver's behaviour and determines its corresponding class name. To overcome this dispute, we have attained an appreciable number of deep learning algorithms on the dataset like convolutional neural network (CNN) and VGG16 to detect what the driver is doing in the car as given in the driver images. This process can be done by predicting the likelihood of the driver's actions in each picture. Of all models, we distinguished that the VGG16 Algorithm has conquered CNN with a loss of 0.298 and an Accuracy of 91.7%.

Network <span>security continues to be the priority of many organizations. To ensure the protection of their data, they pay great attention to Encryption systems. Moreover, because of the enormous developments in networks of connection particularly the internet which has used by several people to share a variety of data kinds. The security of data has been a significant issue. As a result, there is a significant focus in using methods of decryption and encryption. Numerous encryption techniques have become advanced to preserve data protection, chaotic encryption systems are one of these methods widely used in recent years, where several techniques were proposed to use a chaotic map for encrypt images for the reason that of their characteristics e.g., random action unpredictability and initial conditions sensitivity. In this paper, proof authentication of sent information is used chaotic encryption algorithm to provide cipher text and hidden in image then send to another user. This approach is applied in cellular operating system environment (android). Thus, the sending and receiving of text will be safe and secure. The proposed approach is tested on different types of mobile. The proposed system gives good results.</span>
Ang II (Angiotensin II)–Induced FGFR1 (Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor 1) Activation in Tubular Epithelial Cells Promotes Hypertensive Kidney Fibrosis and Injury
Authors: Xu Zheng , Luo Wu , Chen Lingfeng , Zhuang Zaishou , Yang Daona , Qian Jianchang , Khan Zia A. , Guan Xinfu , Wang Yi , Li Xiaokun , Liang Guang 
Published: August 2022

Background:
Elevated Ang II (angiotensin II) level leads to a range of conditions, including hypertensive kidney disease. Recent evidences indicate that FGFR1 (fibroblast growth factor receptor 1) signaling may be involved in kidney injuries. In this study, we determined whether Ang II alters FGFR1 signaling to mediate renal dysfunction.

Methods:
Human archival kidney samples from patients with or without hypertension were examined. Multiple genetic and pharmacological approaches were used to investigate FGFR1-mediated signaling in tubular epithelial NRK-52E cells in response to Ang II stimulation. C57BL/6 mice were infused with Ang II for 28 days to develop hypertensive kidney disease. Mice were treated with either adeno-associated virus expressing FGFR1 shRNA or FGFR1 inhibitor AZD4547.

Results:
Kidney specimens from subjects with hypertension and mice challenged with Ang II have increased FGFR1 activity in renal epithelial cells. Renal epithelial cells in culture initiate extracellular matrix programming in response to Ang II, through the activation of FGFR1, which is independent of both AT1R (angiotensin II receptor type 1) and AT2R (angiotensin II receptor type 2). The RNA sequencing analysis indicated that disrupting FGFR1 suppresses Ang II–induced fibrogenic responses in epithelial cells. Mechanistically, Ang II–activated FGFR1 leads to STAT3 (signal transducer and activator of transcription 3) activation, which is responsible for fibrogenic factor expression in kidneys. In the mouse model of hypertensive kidney disease, genetic knockdown of FGFR1 or pharmacological inhibition of its activity protected kidneys from dysfunction and fibrosis upon Ang II challenge.

Conclusions:
Our studies uncover a novel mechanism causing renal fibrosis in hypertension and indicate FGFR1 as a potential target to preserve renal function and integrity.
Influence of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Severity on Muscle Sympathetic Nerve Activity and Blood Pressure: a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Authors: Maier Lauren E. , Matenchuk Brittany A. , Vucenovic Ana , Sivak Allison , Davenport Margie H. , Steinback Craig D. 
Published: August 2022

Background:We conducted meta-analyses to identify relationships between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) severity, muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA), and blood pressure (BP). We quantified the effect of OSA treatment on MSNA.Methods:Structured searches of electronic databases were performed until June 2021. All observational designs (except reviews) were included: population (individuals with OSA); exposures (OSA diagnosis and direct measures of MSNA); comparator (individuals without OSA or different severity of OSA); outcomes (MSNA, BP, and heart rate).Results:Fifty-six studies (N=1872) were included. MSNA burst frequency was higher in OSA (27 studies; n=542) versus controls (n=488; mean differences [MDs], +15.95 bursts/min [95% CI, 12.6–17.6 bursts/min]; I2=86%). As was burst incidence (20 studies; n=357 OSA, n=312 Controls; MD, +22.23 bursts/100 hbs [95% CI, 18.49–25.97 bursts/100 hbs]; I2=67%). Meta-regressions indicated relationships between MSNA and OSA severity (burst frequency, R2=0.489; P<0.001; burst incidence, R2=0.573; P<0.001). MSNA burst frequency was related to systolic pressure (R2=0.308;P=0.016). OSA treatment with continuous positive airway pressure reduced MSNA burst frequency (MD, 11.91 bursts/min [95% CI, 9.36–14.47 bursts/min] I2=15%) and systolic (n=49; MD, 10.3 mm Hg [95% CI, 3.5–17.2 mm Hg]; I2=42%) and diastolic (MD, 6.9 mm Hg [95% CI, 2.3–11.6 mm Hg]; I2=37%) BP.Conclusions:MSNA is higher in individuals with OSA and related to severity. This sympathoexcitation is also related to BP in patients with OSA. Treatment effectively reduces MSNA and BP, but limited data prevents an assessment of the link between these reductions. These data are clinically important for understanding cardiovascular disease risk in patients with OSA.Registration:URL:https://www.clinicaltrials.gov; Unique identifier: CRD42021285159.
