description: We present infrared photometry and Hubble Space Telescope imaging and spectroscopy of the Sab galaxy NGC 4826. Schwarzschild dynamical modeling is used to measure its central black hole mass M. Photometric decomposition is used to enable a comparison of M to published scaling relations between black hole masses and properties of host bulges. This decomposition implies that NGC 4826 contains classical and pseudobulges of approximately equal mass. The classical bulge has best-fit Sérsic index n = 3.27. The pseudobulge is made up of three parts, an inner lens (n = 0.18 at r ≲ 4''), an outer lens (n = 0.17 at r ≲ 45''), and a n = 0.58 Sérsic component required to match the surface brightness between the lens components. The total V-band luminosity of the galaxy is Mᵥₜ = -21.07, the ratio of classical bulge to total light is B/T ≃ 0.12, and the ratio of pseudobulge to total light is PB/T ≃ 0.13. The outer disk is exponential (n = 1.07) and makes up D/T = 0.75 of the light of the galaxy. Our best-fit Schwarzschild model has a black hole mass with 1σ uncertainties of M = 8.4⁺¹.⁷₋₀.₆ X 10⁶ M☉ and a stellar population with a K-band mass-to-light ratio of ϒₖ = 0.46 ± 0.03 M☉ L☉⁻¹ at the assumed distance of 7.27 Mpc. Our modeling is marginally consistent with M = 0 at the 3σ limit. These best-fit parameters were calculated assuming the black hole is located where the velocity dispersion is largest; this is offset from the maximum surface brightness, probably because of dust absorption. The black hole mass—one of the smallest measured by modeling stellar dynamics—satisfies the well known correlations of M with the K-band luminosity, stellar mass, and velocity dispersion of the classical bulge only. In contrast, the black hole is undermassive with respect to the correlation of M with total (classical plus pseudo) bulge luminosity. Thus the composite (classical bulge plus pseudobulge) galaxy NGC 4826 is consistent with previous results on black hole scaling relations and helps to strengthen these results at low black hole masses.

description: Der Regulationsfokus nach Higgins (1997) postuliert zwei Selbstregulierungsorientierungen auf dem Weg der Zielverfolgung: den Präventions- und den Promotionsfokus. Je nach regulatorischer Orientierung kann dies zu unterschiedlicher Beeinflussung des Verhaltens führen. In dieser Arbeit wird die inkrementelle Validität des Regulationsfokus im Vergleich zur Persönlichkeit im Arbeitskontext für allgemeines Risikoverhalten untersucht. Dazu wurde mittels Online- Fragebogen eine heterogene Stichprobe (N = 130) befragt und anschliessend wurden Produkt-Moment-Korrelationen sowie multiple Regressionen gerechnet. Die Ergebnisse zeigen die besondere Bedeutung des Prädiktors Ehrlichkeit-Bescheidenheit, gefolgt von Offenheit für neue Erfahrungen und Gewissenhaftigkeit für die signifikante Vorhersage von Risikoverhalten. Der Promotionsfokus wurde als inkrementeller Prädiktor eruiert. Zudem erwies sich das Geschlecht als wichtiger signifikanter Prädiktor. Die Ergebnisse lassen ein Persönlichkeitsprofil ableiten, welches das Risikoverhalten zu einem beachtlichen Varianzanteil vorhersagen lässt. Der Präventionsfokus leistete keinen signifikanten Erklärungsbeitrag für das Risikoverhalten. Mögliche Gründe hierfür werden diskutiert.

title: Correlating tower observations and the twentieth century reanalysis at Utqiaġvik, Alaska

description: The Arctic has accumulated many climate changes over a short period of time. This research focuses on Utqiaġvik, in the North Slope of Alaska, which is one of the few places in the Arctic where people have collected weather observations. We wanted to help give an understanding about the Arctic weather changes when it comes time for planning. With the need of history and past observations the Twentieth Century Reanalysis (20CR) gives a perspective view. It is a tool used to show in 3D form all types of weather data at different times and locations. The purpose of this research is to validate the 20CR, because there are few observations in the area when needed for comparisons from the past. The original plan was to use radiosonde data from 2002-2015, but in the end we decided to use 2 meter and 10 meter temperature from Barrow Tower with years 1981-2015. The focus was to find the correlation of the tower and 20CR data. The correlation of 2 meter temperatures was 0.9679. The correlation of 10m temperatures was 0.9670. Though the 2 correlations are similar, they are strongly positive, meaning that they are flowing together rather than away from each other. Year to year the correlations would vary a bit, but overall they were strongly positive. Also, vertical temperature gradients were an input in this study. The correlation for the gradient was 0.1435, positive but very weak. We separated the gradients due to wanting to know what the tower observed, more of an inversion or no inversion. Inversion showed a positive correlation and no inversion showed a negative correlation. The results show that 20CR temperatures at 2 meters and 10 meters correlate very well with the Tower. We hope for the future to expand on our work by taking into account radiosonde data that was not used for this part of our project.

description: Objective: This study examined the interactive relations of experienced interpersonal discrimination, sex, and religious affiliation with pulse wave velocity (PWV), a noninvasive measure of arterial stiffness and indicator of subclinical cardiovascular disease (CVD) prognostic for clinical CVD. Method: We used multivariable linear regression analyses with cross-sectional data from 797 African American midlife adults in the Healthy Aging in Neighborhoods of Diversity Across the Life Span study in Baltimore, Maryland, to examine the interactive relations of both linear and quadratic discrimination, religious affiliation status, and sex with PWV in models adjusted for age and poverty status. Results: Findings revealed a significant three-way interaction of Discrimination² × Religious Affiliation Status × Sex with PWV (B = 0.004, SE = 0.001, p = .004). Simple effect analyses showed a U-shape relation for only religiously affiliated men (B = 0.001, SE = 0.001, p = .008). Both lower and higher levels of discrimination were related to higher PWV. No such relations emerged among unaffiliated men or women. Findings remained robust after sensitivity analyses adjusted for depressive symptoms, cigarette use, obesity, marital status, hypertension, Type 2 diabetes, CVD medical history, cholesterol, lipid-lowering medication use, systolic blood pressure, and heart rate. Conclusion: Religiously affiliated African American men who reported the lowest and highest experienced discrimination showed a heightened risk for subclinical CVD. Having a religious identity might either play a role in suppressing men’s unwanted memories of discrimination or increase men’s susceptibility to and salience of mistreatment, which might manifest in adverse cardiovascular health outcomes.

Is the Gini Index of Inequality Overly Sensitive to Changes in the Middle of the Income Distribution?

description: The Gini index is the most commonly used measure of income inequality. Like any single summary measure of a set of data, it cannot capture all aspects that are of interest to researchers. One of its widely reported flaws is that it is supposed to be overly sensitive to changes in the middle of the distribution. By studying the effect of small transfers between households or an additional increment in income going to one member of the population on the value of the index, this claim is re-examined. It turns out that the difference in the rank order of donor and recipient is usually the most important factor determining the change in the Gini index due to the transfer, which implies that transfers from an upper income household to a low income household receive more weight that transfers involving the middle. Transfers between two middle-income households do affect a higher fraction of the population than other transfers but those transfers do not receive an excessive weight relative to other transfers because the difference in the ranks of donor and recipient is smaller than the corresponding difference in other transfers. Thus, progressive transfers between two households in the middle of the distribution changes the Gini index less than a transfer of the same amount from an upper income household to a lower income household. Similarly, the effect on the Gini index when a household in either tail of the distribution receives an additional increment is larger than when a middle-income household receives it. Contrary to much of the literature, these results indicate that the Gini index is not overly sensitive to changes in the middle of the distribution. Indeed, it is more sensitive to changes in the lower and upper parts of the distribution than in the middle.

Das OSA führte bei den meisten Testpersonen zu einem Anstieg in der Informiertheit über die Studienanforderungen sowie zu einer zunehmenden Sicherheit hinsichtlich der Passung zum Studium. Anhand der Ergebnisse der beiden Studien wurden schliesslich Gestaltungsempfehlungen für das Feedback des OSAs abgeleitet.
Diverse Conditional Image Generation by Stochastic Regression with Latent Drop-Out Codes

Publisher: name: CISPA
Year: 2023

description: Recent advances in Deep Learning and probabilistic modeling have led to strong improvements in generative models for images. On the one hand, Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) have contributed a highly effective adversarial learning procedure, but still suffer from stability issues. On the other hand, Conditional Variational Auto-Encoders (CVAE) models provide a sound way of conditional modeling but suffer from mode-mixing issues. Therefore, recent work has turned back to simple and stable regression models that are effective at generation but give up on the sampling mechanism and the latent code representation. We propose a novel and efficient stochastic regression approach with latent drop-out codes that combines the merits of both lines of research. In addition, a new training objective increases coverage of the training distribution leading to improvements over the state of the art in terms of accuracy as well as diversity.

description: Treatment for HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND) remains elusive. 7,8-dihydroxy lavone (DHF), an analog of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and a high-af inity TrkB agonist, has been proposed as a viable therapeutic alternative to BDNF in crossing the Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB) and promoting growth, differentiation, maintenance, and survival of neurons. Here, we expand on our previous study investigating the therapeutic role of DHF on the cortical and hippocampal brain regions of the Tg26 mice, an animal model of HAND. We detected increased immunoreactivity for ion channels (SUR1, TRPM4) and the water channel aquaporin-4 (AQP4), suggesting an ionic and osmotic imbalance in the brains of Tg26 mice. Tg26 mice also exhibited loss of synaptic stability (SYN, SYP) and nicotinamide metabolism (NAMPT, SIRT1) that were associated with astrogliosis. Furthermore, Tg26 mice demonstrated increased iNOS and reduced HO-1/NRF2 expressions, implicating increased ER and oxidative stress. DHF treatment in Tg26 mice reversed these pathological changes. These data suggest crosstalk among TrkB, Akt, and related transcription factors (NF-κB, STAT3, and NRF2) as an underlying mechanism of Tg26-associated pathology in the brain. Finally, taken together with our prior study, these results further highlight a therapeutic role of DHF in promoting neuroprotection in HAND that may be applied in conjunction with current antiviral therapies.

description: The recent COVID-19 pandemic has shown the need of readily available tools to simulate the spreading of infectious diseases and assess the potential impact of policy measures aimed at the containment of the disease. The most common approach in epidemiology is to use compartmental models which model disease spreading as a series of stocks (compartments) and flows. The most basic version considers three compartments: susceptible, infectious and recovered. One of the core assumptions of these models, however, is a homogeneous population which is a serious limitation when it comes to clustered outbreaks. The research at hand uses an agent-based travel demand model (MATSim) coupled with a recently developed extension (EpiSim) to simulate the spread of the pandemic by tracking the interactions of agents und subsequently identifying infections by following their contact network. This overcomes the compartmental assumption of the previous models. In this presentation, we summarize the calibration results of the EpiSim model which is based on the regional activity- and agent-based travel demand model of the trinational region around Basel. The calibration procedure is based on data on case numbers and hospitalisations from three countries (Switzerland, Germany and France) at different spatial resolution. The underlying models account for the effect of border closures and spatially varying restrictions to limit the spread of COVID-19. In contrast to existing studies, this model pays particular attention to disease import through external traffic from outside the model area as well as cross-border travel demand.

description: Sentiment analysis is a process of dealing with people's opinions, remarks, and comments to extract valuable insights from them. Sentiment analysis can be used for various purposes like market analysis, campaign monitoring, decision-making, etc. In recent years, there has been much research on sentiment classification, particularly in English. However, these existing approaches used for the English language cannot be applied to the Urdu language. The substantial rise in communication traffic, including audio, text, video, and pictures, has significantly shifted the Internet of Things (IoT) from scalar to Multimedia Internet of Things (MIoT). So far, the integration of MIoT and NLP systems has received less attention, but it has evolved as a novel research paradigm for smart applications. This article proposes deep learning techniques for sentence-level Urdu sentiment analysis (Urdu SA) for MIoT. Our approach consists of various phases, i.e., data gathering, text preprocessing, model training, testing, and evaluation. A data set of 25 thousand Urdu reviews are used for training the proposed models. This data set is built by scraping various Urdu blogs and social media platforms, and some part of the IMDB data set is used after translating it into the Urdu language. Native Urdu speakers do data annotation, and various preprocessing techniques, i.e., tokenization, stemming, etc., are applied. The two deep learning models, i.e., Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Long Short-term Memory (LSTM), are trained on preprocessed Urdu reviews to find their sentiments in this article. Both models are tested using various combinations of hyperparameters, and each model's accuracy and F1 scores are evaluated.

description: In 5G and Beyond-based Internet-of-Things (IoT) sensor networks, the end-to-end (E2E) route traverses via multiple heterogeneous network domains, necessitating inter-domain interaction to guarantee and confirm quality-of-service (QoS) for low power IoT devices applications. Moreover, in heterogeneous IoT sensor networks, the E2E path often encompasses domains with diverse QoS parameters or classes. The unique E2E requirements for delay, packet loss ratio (PLR), and other factors present further challenges. However, existing legacy network architectures and typical software-defined networking (SDN) models lack effective strategies for QoS provisioning tailored to the service requests of IoT low power sensor devices. To address these issues, this study proposes a novel multi-objective SDN-based framework for IoT sensors, ensuring E2E QoS across multiple domains with heterogeneous traffic service classes (TSC). A two-layer software-defined networking (SDN) framework is presented to provision QoS for IoT sensors based on their specific service demands at the E2E network level. Central to the framework is the deployment of an optimal additive weighting module (OAWM), facilitating TSC ranking according to their weights and incorporating a priority mechanism for specific service parameters such as delay, PLR, and jitter. Additionally, the global controller statistics enable the provisioning of E2E QoS by mapping the service requests from IoT sensors. Experimental evaluations are conducted to compare the proposed approach with existing schemes. The results validate the effectiveness of our proposed method, demonstrating improved E2E QoS provisioning and meeting the specific requirements of IoT sensors in precision agriculture with low-power IoT devices.

description: Woody leguminous species are valuable crops because of their nutritional, economic, and ecological characteristics. Such crops have aided in the recovery of marginal lands for agricultural development due to their ability to fix nitrogen, control erosion, and act as a refuge for other species, in addition to their capacity to improve soil mineral composition and microbial biodiversity. Nevertheless, some leguminous trees are recognized to be one of the worst invasive species that affect negatively biodiversity and the entire ecosystem balance. In this study, we review new global uses for some woody leguminous crops, highlighting new nutraceutical and pharmacological properties, their uses as bioenergy sources, and their ecological uses for bioremediation opening new possibilities of management. We aim to bring knowledge on the multiple benefits that these woody plants continue to provide to humans from economic, social, and environmental standpoints.

description: The application of neural networks in modeling dynamic systems has become prominent due to their ability to estimate complex nonlinear functions. Despite their effectiveness, neural networks face challenges in long-term predictions, where the prediction error diverges over time, thus degrading their accuracy. This paper presents a neural filter to enhance the accuracy of long-term state predictions of neural network-based models of dynamic systems. Motivated by the extended Kalman filter, the neural filter combines the neural network state predictions with the measurements from the physical system to improve the estimated state's accuracy. The neural filter's improvements in prediction accuracy are demonstrated through applications to four nonlinear dynamical systems. Numerical experiments show that the neural filter significantly improves prediction accuracy and bounds the state estimate covariance, outperforming the neural network predictions.

description: Orexin neurons regulate critical brain activities for controlling sleep, eating, emotions, and metabolism, and impaired orexin neuron function results in several neurologic disorders. Therefore, restoring normal orexin function and understanding the mechanisms of loss or impairment of orexin neurons represent important goals. As a step toward that end, we generated human orexin neurons from induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) by treatment with N-acetyl-d-mannosamine (ManNAc) and its derivatives. The generation of orexin neurons was associated with DNA hypomethylation, histone H3/H4 hyperacetylation, and hypo-O-GlcNAcylation on the HCRT gene locus, and, thereby, the treatment of inhibitors of SIRT1 and OGT were effective at inducing orexin neurons from hiPSCs. The prolonged exposure of orexin neurons to high glucose in culture caused irreversible silencing of the HCRT gene, which was characterized by H3/H4 hypoacetylation and hyper-O-GlcNAcylation. The DNA hypomethylation status, once established in orexin neurogenesis, was maintained in the HCRT-silenced orexin neurons, indicating that histone modifications, but not DNA methylation, were responsible for the HCRT silencing. Thus, the epigenetic status of the HCRT gene is unique to the hyperglycemia-induced silencing. Intriguingly, treatment of ManNAc and its derivatives reactivated HCRT gene expression, while inhibitors SIRT1 and the OGT did not. The present study revealed that the HCRT gene was silenced by the hyperglycemia condition, and ManNAc and its derivatives were useful for restoring the orexin neurons.

description: В статье приводятся материалы, свидетельствующие о контактах населения современной РСО-Алания и Чеченской Республики с переселенцами из Закавказья в эпоху финала ранней — начала развитой бронзы. На основании анализа данных материалов делается вывод о том, что процессы формирования новых культурных образований для этих регионов обладали как общими, так и особенными чертами. Переселенцы с южных склонов Большого Кавказа, после их частичного оседания на Осетинской наклонной равнине, продолжили свой путь в междуречье Сунжи и Фортанги. Здесь они встретились с раннекатакомбным населением, которое также приняло активное участие в оформлении новых погребальных стандартов.

description: The paper develops a singularity-free backstepping-based adaptive control for stabilizing and tracking the trajectory of a bicopter system. In the bicopter system, the inertial parameters parameterize the input map. Since the classical adaptive backstepping technique requires the inversion of the input map, which contains the estimate of parameter estimates, the stability of the closed-loop system cannot be guaranteed due to the inversion of parameter estimates. This paper proposes a novel technique to circumvent the inversion of parameter estimates in the control law. The resulting controller requires only the sign of the unknown parameters. The proposed controller is validated in simulation for a smooth and nonsmooth trajectory-tracking problem.
