description: Postpartum depression (PPD) affects nearly 20% of postpartum women in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), where HIV prevalence is high. Depression is associated with worse HIV outcomes in non-pregnant adults and mental health disorders may worsen HIV outcomes for postpartum women and their infants. PPD is effectively treated with psychosocial or pharmacologic interventions; however, few studies have evaluated the acceptability of treatment modalities in SSA. We analyzed interviews with 23 postpartum women with HIV to assess the acceptability of two depression treatments provided in the context of a randomized trial. Most participants expressed acceptability of treatment randomization and study visit procedures. Participants shared perceptions of high treatment efficacy of their assigned intervention. They reported ongoing HIV and mental health stigma in their communities and emphasized the importance of social support from clinic staff. Our findings suggest a full-scale trial of PPD treatment will be acceptable among women with HIV in Zambia.

description: We construct new solvable vertex models based on the spin representation of the Lie algebra $B_k$. We use these models to study the algebraic structure underlying such vertex theories. We show that all the $B_k$ spin vertex models obey a version of the BMW algebra along with extra relations that are called $n$--CB (conformal braiding) algebras. These algebras were discussed before for various IRF (interaction round the face) models. Here we establish that the same algebras hold for vertex models.

description: Quantum computing promises to provide the next step up in computational power for diverse application areas. In this review, we examine the science behind the quantum hype, and the breakthroughs required to achieve true quantum advantage in real world applications. Areas that are likely to have the greatest impact on high performance computing (HPC) include simulation of quantum systems, optimization, and machine learning. We draw our examples from electronic structure calculations and computational fluid dynamics which account for a large fraction of current scientific and engineering use of HPC. Potential challenges include encoding and decoding classical data for quantum devices, and mismatched clock speeds between classical and quantum processors. Even a modest quantum enhancement to current classical techniques would have far-reaching impacts in areas such as weather forecasting, aerospace engineering, and the design of "green" materials for sustainable development. This requires significant effort from the computational science, engineering and quantum computing communities working together.

description: The recent discovery of pure boron nanotubes raises questions about their detailed atomic structure. Previous simulations predicted tubular structures with smooth or puckered surfaces. Here, we present some novel results based on ab initio simulations of bundled single-wall zigzag boron nanotubes (ropes). Besides the known smooth and puckered modifications, we found new forms that are radially constricted, and which seem to be energetically superior to the known isomers. Furthermore, those structures might be interpreted as intermediate states between ideal tubular phases and the known bulk phases based on boron icosahedra.

Phenotypic characterization of mouse mammosphere-initiating cells (Ma-ICs) indicates they represent a novel progenitor population

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Elucidation of the mechanisms regulating the development of the mammary gland would be facilitated by quantitative in vitro assays for mammary epithelial stem cells. Recent studies have shown that tight clusters of cells containing primitive clonogenic mammary cells are produced when dissociated human breast cells are cultured in serum-free liquid suspension cultures containing epidermal growth factor (EGF) and fibroblast growth factor (FGF). Single cell suspensions prepared from mouse breast tissue formed similar "mammospheres" under these conditions but cell aggregation was a significant factor in determining, their size and numbers. Addition of 1% methylcellulose to the culture medium prevented cell aggregation and resulted in the generation of smaller mammospheres over a 7-14-day period at a constant frequency of ~1 per 100 cells plated over a 100-fold range of cell concentrations. Interestingly, when subsets of antibody-stained cells in suspensions of freshly dissociated mouse mammary glands were first isolated by fluorescence activated cell sorting, the mammospheres they generated in semi-solid cultures were not from fractions containing highly purified cells with either mammary epithelial stem cell or progenitor activity (as identified by an ability to repopulate a cleared mammary fat pad, or generate colonies in standard 2D cultures containing feeder layers). These findings provide a quantitative assay for a previously uncharacterized clonogenic cell that is present in mouse breast tissue that may facilitate the survival or propagation of primititive mammary cells in vitro but whose developmental relationship to the mammary epithelial hierarchy has yet to be established.

description: Background Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is a rare neurodegenerative brain disease with rapid progression and currently limited treatment options. A comprehensive understanding of disease progression, management, and healthcare resource utilization is limited, and further research is challenging due to the small population of patients. To address these challenges in conducting PSP research, individuals with PSP were recruited using a multichannel approach tailored specifically to the PSP community. We performed a retrospective observational study using data abstracted from participant medical records collected from multiple patient care centers.Results Seventy-two individuals with PSP were eligible for inclusion. On average, 144 medical documents per participant were collected from an average of 2.9 healthcare centers per participant, with a mean study period of 7.9 years. Among participants with a date of symptom onset documented in the medical records, the median time for the onset of the first fall was 2.0 years (IQR 3.2) before diagnosis, the median onset of unsteady gait or gait impairment was 1.2 years (IQR 1.8) before diagnosis, and the median onset of mobility problems was 0.8 years (IQR 1.8) before diagnosis. The most widely utilized healthcare resources, with at least 85% of participants using each of these resources at some point during the disease course, were medications (100%), imaging (99%), assistive devices (90%), supportive care (86%), and surgeries and procedures (85%). Conclusions This retrospective study adds to the current understanding of PSP symptoms, comorbidities, and healthcare resource utilization (HRU) across the disease journey. By involving individuals with PSP and their caregivers or legally authorized representatives in the research process, this study was unique in its approach to participant recruitment and enabled individuals to participate in research without the need for travel. We collected medical documents from multiple healthcare centers, allowing for broad data collection covering the entire disease journey. This approach to the collection of real-world data may be used to generate valuable insights into many aspects of disease progression and management in PSP and many other rare diseases.

description: Microscopic description of Raman spectra in nanopowders of nonpolar crystals is accomplished by developing the theory of disorder-induced broadening of optical vibrational eigenmodes. Analytical treatment of this problem is performed, and line shape and width are determined as functions of phonon quantum numbers, nanoparticle shape, size, and the strength of disorder. The results are found to be strongly dependent on either the broadened line is separated or it is overlapped with other lines of the spectrum. Three models of disorder, i.e. weak point-like impurities, weak smooth random potential and strong rare impurities are investigated in details. The possibility to form the phonon-impurity bound state is also studied.

description: We document a mechanism operating in complex adaptive systems leading to dynamical pockets of predictability (``prediction days''), in which agents collectively take predetermined courses of action, transiently decoupled from past history. We demonstrate and test it out-of-sample on synthetic minority and majority games as well as on real financial time series. The surprising large frequency of these prediction days implies a collective organization of agents and of their strategies which condense into transitional herding regimes.

description: The complicated ways in which electrons interact in many-body systems such as molecules and materials have long been viewed through the lens of local electron correlation and associated correlation functions. However, quantum information science has demonstrated that more global diagnostics of quantum states, like the entanglement entropy, can provide a complementary and clarifying lens on electronic behavior. One particularly useful measure that can be used to distinguish between quantum and classical sources of entanglement is the accessible entanglement, the entanglement available as a quantum resource for systems subject to conservation laws, such as fixed particle number, due to superselection rules. In this work, we introduce an algorithm and demonstrate how to compute accessible and symmetry-resolved entanglements for interacting fermion systems. This is accomplished by combining an incremental version of the swap algorithm with a recursive Auxiliary Field Quantum Monte Carlo algorithm recently developed by the authors. We apply these tools to study the pairing and charge density waves exhibited in the paradigmatic attractive Hubbard model via entanglement. We find that the particle and spin symmetry-resolved entanglements and their related full probability distribution functions show very clear - and unique - signatures of the underlying electronic behavior even when those features are less pronounced in more conventional correlation functions. Overall, this work provides a systematic means of characterizing the entanglement within quantum systems that can grant a deeper understanding of the complicated electronic behavior that underlies quantum phase transitions and crossovers in many-body systems.

description: The topic of master thesis is the urban development of cities in Bosnia and Herzegovina during the Austro-Hungarian rule between 1878 and 1918. This master thesis should provide answers to the following questions: What are the main guidelines in urban redeveloping in this period after Ottoman rule? How did the new network of railways influence the cities development? Which cities are the main points on this network of railways? In which way were new residential, industrial, public and green zones in the cities developed? The first cadastral maps of the cities in Bosnia and Herzegovina were made in 1880-1884 and they provide the basic data for understanding the urban development of these cities. The arrival of the European -spirit- in Bosnia and Herzegovina has created an atmosphere of open construction sites and urbanization. New architectural styles were implemented. This is the period of culture, enlightenment and spiritually strengthening. The area of my research contains maps, plans and city panoramas from the -Kriegsarchiv- in Vienna and different literature. In this data analysis I will primarily use comparative methods, after that synthesis, distribution and allocation to the groups. The main goal is to understand the way in which the development of the cities in this period influenced the present urban matrix of the cities in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

description: We perform observational confrontation and cosmographic analysis of $f(T,T_G)$ gravity and cosmology. This higher-order torsional gravity is based on both the torsion scalar, as well as on the teleparallel equivalent of the Gauss--Bonnet combination, and gives rise to an effective dark-energy sector which depends on the extra torsion contributions. We employ observational data from the Hubble function and supernova Type Ia Pantheon datasets, applying a Markov chain Monte Carlo sampling technique, and we provide the iso-likelihood contours, as well as the best-fit values for the parameters of the power-law model, an ansatz which is expected to be a good approximation of most realistic deviations from general relativity. Additionally, we reconstruct the effective dark-energy equation-of-state parameter, which exhibits a quintessence-like behavior, while in the future the Universe enters into the phantom regime, before it tends asymptotically to the cosmological constant value. Furthermore, we perform a detailed cosmographic analysis, examining the deceleration, jerk, snap, and lerk parameters, showing that the transition to acceleration occurs in the redshift range $ 0.52 \leq z_{tr} \leq 0.89 $, as well as the preference of the scenario for quintessence-like behavior.

We have realized a probabilistic, but in principle deterministic, Bell-state analyzer for two photonic quantum bits by the use of a nondestructive controlled-NOT gate based on entirely linear optical elements. This gate was capable of distinguishing between all of the Bell states with higher than 75% fidelity without any noise substraction due to utilizing quantum interference effects.

description: Whereas Poultry feed represents around 65-70% of the operating costs of such industry, yellow corn soybean meal represent 60-70% and 15-20% of the feed components. In addition Most of yellow corn and soybean consumed for poultry feeding are imported. Therefore, the poultry feed mix and consequently the poultry feed products suppose to be highly affected by the world market price of both ingredients. Accordingly the objective of the study focuses upon the impact of the newly growing demand for yellow corn and soybean to produce excess quantities of ethanol and diesel fuel on the world market prices of both crops. The major results showed that the annual growth in the production of both concerned crops were world-wide slow and was mainly due to slightly growing crop area, rather than the yield. On other hand there was excess increase in consumption of bio-fuel. The result was rapid growth in price of both yellow corn and soybean. More than 90% of the increase in the world price of yellow corn was due to expansion in ethanol production and about 40% of the increase in soybean world price was due to expansion in diesel fuel production. Expansion in bio-fuel consumption is mainly due to the subsidy provided to its price by the major produced countries, i.e USA, P.R. China and Brazil. It is recommended that the developing countries, in particular the Arab countries should cooperate in preventing the bio-fuel price subsidy policy which is practiced by the major countries production bio-fuel. This policy violates the WTO legislations Economic integration among Arab countries that have comparative advantage in such crops, particularly, Sudan.

The jet of a GRB is assumed to consist of multiple sub-jets or sub-shells (i.e., an inhomogeneous jet model). The multiplicity of the sub-jets along a line of sight n_s is an important parameter. If n_s is large (>> 1) the event looks like a long GRB, while if n_s=1, the event looks like a short GRB. Finally, when n_s=0, the event looks like an X-ray flash or an X-ray rich GRB. Furthermore, our model may also explain the bimodal distributions of T_{90} duration of BATSE-GRBs.

description: The interplay of time-reversal and $n$-fold rotation symmetries ($n=2,4,6$) is known to bring a new class of topological crystalline insulators (TCIs) having $n$ surface Dirac cones due to surface rotation anomaly. We show that the proximity-induced $s$-wave superconductivity on the surface of these TCIs yields a topological superconducting phase in which two Majorana zero modes are bound to a vortex, and that $n$-fold rotation symmetry ($n=2,4,6$) enriches the topological classification of a superconducting vortex from $\mathbb{Z}_2$ to $\mathbb{Z}_2\times\mathbb{Z}_2$. Using a model of a three-dimensional high-spin topological insulator with $s$-wave superconductivity and two-fold rotation symmetry, we show that, with increasing chemical potential, the number of Majorana zero modes at one end of a vortex changes as $2\to1\to0$ through two topological vortex phase transitions. In addition, we show that additional magnetic-mirror symmetry further enhances the topological classification to $\mathbb{Z} \times \mathbb{Z}$

We briefly review its ingredients and some important theoretical issues on the factorization approaches. PQCD results are compatible with present experimantal data for the charmless B-meson decays. We predict the possibility of large direct CP asymmetry in $B^0 \to π^{+}π^{-}$ $(23\pm7 %)$ and $B^0\to K^{+}π^{-}$ $(-17\pm5%)$. We also investigate the Branching ratios, CP asymmetry and isopsin symmetry breaking in $B \to (K^*/ρ) γ$ decays and look for the possible new physics contribution via gluino mediation SUSY which can accomodate the large deviation of $S_{ϕK_s}$ from SM.}

description: The phase space of visible particles in missing energy events may have singularity structures. The singularity variables are devised to capture the singularities effectively for given event topology. They can greatly improve the discovery potential of new physics signals as well as to extract the mass spectrum information at hadron colliders. Focusing on the antler decay topology of resonance, we derive a novel singularity variable whose distribution has endpoints directly correlated with the resonance mass. As a practical application, we examine the applicability of the singularity variable to the searches for heavy neutral Higgs bosons in the two-Higgs doublet model.

description: In the realm of video analysis, the field of multiple object tracking (MOT) assumes paramount importance, with the motion state of objects-whether static or dynamic relative to the ground-holding practical significance across diverse scenarios. However, the extant literature exhibits a notable dearth in the exploration of this aspect. Deep learning methodologies encounter challenges in accurately discerning object motion states, while conventional approaches reliant on comprehensive mathematical modeling may yield suboptimal tracking accuracy. To address these challenges, we introduce a Model-Data-Driven Motion State Judgment Object Tracking Method (MoD2T). This innovative architecture adeptly amalgamates traditional mathematical modeling with deep learning-based multi-object tracking frameworks. The integration of mathematical modeling and deep learning within MoD2T enhances the precision of object motion state determination, thereby elevating tracking accuracy. Our empirical investigations comprehensively validate the efficacy of MoD2T across varied scenarios, encompassing unmanned aerial vehicle surveillance and street-level tracking. Furthermore, to gauge the method's adeptness in discerning object motion states, we introduce the Motion State Validation F1 (MVF1) metric. This novel performance metric aims to quantitatively assess the accuracy of motion state classification, furnishing a comprehensive evaluation of MoD2T's performance. Elaborate experimental validations corroborate the rationality of MVF1. In order to holistically appraise MoD2T's performance, we meticulously annotate several renowned datasets and subject MoD2T to stringent testing. Remarkably, under conditions characterized by minimal or moderate camera motion, the achieved MVF1 values are particularly noteworthy, with exemplars including 0.774 for the KITTI dataset, 0.521 for MOT17, and 0.827 for UAVDT.

description: The equations for fully compressible rotating magnetoconvection are numerically solved in a Cartesian box assuming conditions roughly suitable for the geodynamo. The mean electromotive force describing the generation of mean magnetic flux by convective turbulence in the rotating fluid is directly calculated from the simulations, and the corresponding alpha-coefficients are derived. Due to the very weak density stratification the alpha-effect changes its sign in the middle of the box. It is positive at the top and negative at the bottom of the convection zone. For strong magnetic fields we also find a clear downward advection of the mean magnetic field. Both of the simulated effects have been predicted by quasi-linear computations (Soward, 1979; Kitchatinov and Ruediger, 1992). Finally, the possible connection of the obtained profiles of the EMF with mean-field models of oscillating alpha^2-dynamos is discussed.

subject: Agricultural Trade

description: The annual average volume of agricultural trade among Arab countries represented only 13.2% of total foreign agricultural trade of Arab Countries over the period (1988-1997). The export market among Arab Countries is not that well established on sustainable planned policies, it is unstable and grows arbitrary, except for Morocco and to some extend for Jordan and Tunisia, where it showed significant positive and stable trend of agricultural exports to other Arab countries. Live animals and animal products, followed by oil seeds and vegetables occupied the first ranks within the agricultural export structure among Arab countries in nineties. There is centralization in agricultural trade among Arab countries. Whereas about 68% of agricultural export are delivered from Syria. Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Egypt, about 66% of agricultural imports am to Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Oman and Jordan. Also, 90% of Gulf countries agricultural trade is within the Gulf cooperation Council. The analysis showed that whereas the terms of trade among Arab countries in nineties were on the average for Libya, Jordan, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman and Tunis they were against Kuwait, Egypt, Algeria, Saudi Arabia. Morocco, and Syria. However, the terms of trade have become for Egypt since mid of nineties. Arab countries exports are mainly row materials and lack of competitive advantages. Therefore. most of the Arab Countries foreign trade is restricted between Europe, European Union and United States. The study showed several approaches and policies to be followed. All Amb Countries should change their strategy from import replacement and self-sufficiency to export promotion and economic liberalization. Cooperation should not be restricted within exemption of tariffs, but it should focus on stimulate capital mobilization and labor transfer among Arab countries. Joint venture investment among private sector business should be established in Arab markets as projects for processing; storage warehouses packaging, transportation, grading and communication facilities. Specialized related Arab league organizations as well as Economic Unity Council for Arab Countries should give support to several regional efforts it. the area of specification codes, environmental aspects of traded commodities and other subjects imposed by the World Trade Organization agreement, because individual countries could not afford such issues. Acceleration of the significant implementation of the Arabic Union Market is a must to face the forthcoming impacts of the world free trade agreements.

description: For halide perovskites that are susceptible to photolysis and ion migration, iodide-related defects, such as iodine (I2) and iodine vacancies, are inevitable. Even a small number of these defects can trigger self-accelerating chemical reactions, posing serious challenges to the durability of perovskite solar cells. Fortunately, before I2 can damage the perovskites under illumination, they generally diffuse over a long distance. Therefore, detrimental I2 can be captured by interfacial materials with strong iodide/polyiodide (Ix−) affinities, such as fullerenes and perfluorodecyl iodide. However, fullerenes in direct contact with perovskites fail to confine Ix− ions within the perovskite layer but cause detrimental iodine vacancies. Perfluorodecyl iodide, with its directional Ix− affinity through halogen bonding, can both capture and confine Ix−. Therefore, inverted perovskite solar cells with over 10 times improved ultraviolet irradiation and thermal-light stabilities (under 85 °C and 1 sun illumination), and 1,000 times improved reverse-bias stability (under ISOS-V ageing tests) have been developed.

description: We calculate the Meissner masses of gluons in neutral three-flavor color superconducting matter for finite strange quark mass. In the CFL phase the eissner masses are slowly varying function of the strange quark mass. For large strange quark mass, in the so called gCFL phase, the Meissner masses of gluons with colors $a=1,2,3$ and 8 become imaginary, indicating an instability.
description: New Fig. 1 shows that also the masses of the gluons 3 and 8 are imaginary

description: Dicho trabajo plantea algunas medidas de gestión ambiental que podrían ser herramientas viables para enfrentar a las enfermedades emergentes, dentro de las cuales se encuentra la COVID-19.
En dicho marco se plantea impulsar las medidas de gestión ambiental que impidan la destrucción de hábitats naturales, el tráfico de fauna y la pérdida de diversidad genética; toda vez que el Perú es un país megadiverso, por lo que custodia ecosistemas con una gran biodiversidad que, a su vez, proporciona el servicio ecosistémico de regulación de enfermedades.
De igual manera se expone la necesidad de impulsar la gestión de residuos sólidos, con énfasis en establecer disposiciones que indiquen a la ciudadanía en general el modo en que los residuos de hogares con pacientes infectados deben ser gestionados, a fin de evitar poner en riesgo de contagio a las personas que entren en contacto con ellos, como es el caso del personal municipal o de las personas del hogar.
Asimismo, considera que la economía circular resulta ser un modelo económico adecuado para impulsar la economía frente a la recesión causada por el COVID-19, toda vez que impulsa la economía local, la sostenibilidad y reduce la dependencia de materias primas vírgenes.

description: In the modern world, the amount of visual data recorded has been rapidly increasing. In many cases, data is stored in geographically distinct locations and thus requires a large amount of time and space to consolidate. Sometimes, there are also regulations for privacy protection which prevent data consolidation. In this work, we present federated implementations for object detection and recognition using a federated Faster R-CNN (FRCNN) and image segmentation using a federated Fully Convolutional Network (FCN). Our FRCNN was trained on 5000 examples of the COCO2017 dataset while our FCN was trained on the entire train set of the CamVid dataset. The proposed federated models address the challenges posed by the increasing volume and decentralized nature of visual data, offering efficient solutions in compliance with privacy regulations.

description: El Estatuto de Roma, en vigor desde el 01 de julio del 2002, es el instrumento que prevé la creación de una Corte Penal Internacional, ante la necesidad de juzgar a quienes cometen delitos contra la comunidad internacional. El Estado peruano al ratificar este instrumento internacional se obligó a adecuar su legislación interna de acuerdo a estas normas internacionales, por ello el Congreso de la República mediante Ley Nº 27837 creó una comisión especial revisora del Código Penal encargada de revisar entre otras cosas, la adecuación a los delitos previstos en el Estatuto de Roma. Esta comisión concluyó la propuesta de adecuación de la legislación nacional al Estatuto, la cual dio mérito al proyecto de Ley Nº 14659/2005-CR que a su vez se recogió en el proyecto de Ley Nº 1707/2007/CR. A pesar de la importancia de este proyecto, consideramos que éste contiene errores sustanciales en la tipificación de los delitos que contradice lo estipulado en el Estatuto de Roma, en especial en los delitos de lesa humanidad; asimismo es posible mejorar el proyecto al incluir normas que hagan factible la materialización de la jurisdicción universal y la imprescriptibilidad de estos delitos, así como la aplicación del principio aut dedere et aut iudicare y la mejora de la tipificación del delito de genocidio y su instigación. Por otro lado, respecto a los delitos contra el DIH es necesario incluir definiciones del DIH que faciliten su aplicación e interpretación. El proyecto de ley fue presentado en el 2006, sin embargo hasta la actualidad el Parlamento ha postergado su revisión pues al ratificar el estatuto los estados trasladan la competencia a la Corte Penal Internacional, de un modo subsidiario, para juzgar a sus ciudadanos o a extranjeros y con ello se vulneraría la soberanía jurisdiccional del Estado. No obstante esta idea es errada, pues contrariamente a lo que piensan algunos de nuestros parlamentarios, la implementación en lugar de violar la soberanía peruana, la reforzaría y fortalecería la competencia de nuestros jueces para juzgar este tipo de delitos, recordando siempre el principio de subsidiariedad de la Corte.
