description: The article reports the domineering governing role played by the direction of electric and magnetic fields on the internal advection pattern and strength within salt solution pendant droplets. Literature shows that solutal advection drives circulation cells within salt based droplets. Flow visualization and velocimetry reveals that the direction of the applied field governs the enhancement/reduction in circulation velocity and the directionality of circulation inside the droplet. Further, it is noted that while magnetic fields augment the circulation velocity, the electric field leads to deterioration of the same. The concepts of electro andmagnetohydrodynamics are appealed to and a Stokesian stream function based mathematical model to deduce the field mediated velocities has been proposed. The model is found to reveal the roles of and degree of dependence on the governing Hartmann, Stuart, Reynolds and Masuda numbers. The theoretical predictions are observed to be in good agreement with experimental average spatio-temporal velocities. The present findings may have strong implications in microscale electro and/or magnetohydrodynamics.

description: Операцию кесарева сечения включают в хирургические операции средней и тяжелой степени. По данным различных источников, осложнения после операции ХК составляют 7-19,5%. Эти осложнения объясняются акушерской и экстрагенитальной патологией. С увеличением частоты кесаревых сечений, а также с улучшением качества и распространением ультразвуковой диагностики качество исследования рубца на матке из года в год неуклонно повышается. В последние годы в литературе и на гинекологических конференциях самого высокого уровня все больше внимания уделяется такому понятию, как «ниши» в области рубца от кесарева сечения. Дефект проявляется в виде заполненного жидкостью аномалии передней стенки матки на месте предыдущего кесарева сечения.

description: Balanced signal transduction is crucial in tissue patterning, particularly in the vasculature. Heterotopic ossification (HO) is tightly linked to vascularization with increased vessel number in hereditary forms of HO, such as Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP). FOP is caused by mutations in the BMP type I receptor ACVR1 leading to aberrant SMAD1/5 signaling in response to ActivinA. Whether observed vascular phenotype in human FOP lesions is connected to aberrant ActivinA signaling is unknown. Blocking of ActivinA prevents HO in FOP mice indicating a central role of the ligand in FOP. Here, we established a new FOP endothelial cell model generated from induced pluripotent stem cells (iECs) to study ActivinA signaling. FOP iECs recapitulate pathogenic ActivinA/SMAD1/5 signaling. Whole transcriptome analysis identified ActivinA mediated activation of the BMP/NOTCH pathway exclusively in FOP iECs, which was rescued to WT transcriptional levels by the drug candidate Saracatinib. We propose that ActivinA causes transcriptional pre-patterning of the FOP endothelium, which might contribute to differential vascularity in FOP lesions compared to non-hereditary HO.

description: Relative magnetic helicity is a gauge invariant quantity suitable for the study of the magnetic helicity content of heliospheric plasmas. Relative magnetic helicity can be decomposed uniquely into two gauge invariant quantities, the magnetic helicity of the non-potential component of the field, and a complementary volume-threading helicity. Recent analysis of numerical experiments simulating the generation of solar eruptions have shown that the ratio of the non-potential helicity to the total relative helicity is a clear marker of the eruptivity of the magnetic system, and that the high value of that quantity could be a sufficient condition for the onset of the instability generating the eruptions. The present study introduces the first analytical examination of the time variations of these non-potential and volume-threading helicities. The validity of the analytical formulas derived are confirmed with analysis of three-dimensional (3D) magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) simulations of solar coronal dynamics. Both the analytical investigation, and the numerical application show that, unlike magnetic helicity, the non-potential and the volume-threading helicities are not conserved quantities, even in the ideal MHD regime. A term corresponding to the transformation between the non-potential and volume-threading helicities frequently dominates their dynamics. This finding has an important consequence for their estimation in the solar corona: unlike with relative helicity, their volume coronal evolution cannot be ascertained by the flux of these quantities through the volume's boundaries. Only techniques extrapolating the 3D coronal field will enable both the proper study of the non-potential and volume-threading helicities, and the observational analysis of helicity-based solar-eruptivity proxies.

description: Random Number Generators (RNGs) play a crucial role in the security of modern-day cryptographic modules. In cryptography they are used to generate initialization vectors for cryptographic primitives and protocols, keys for secret and public-key algorithms, seeds for pseudo-random number generators, challenges, nonces, padding bits, and system parameters in security protocols. A True Random Number Generator (TRNG) is a physical device that generates statistically independent and unbiased bits. A TRNG harvests randomness present in the underlying physical source and the generator will have no internal state kept. Increased research interest in the field of reconfigurable computing is making Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) a preferred platform for cryptographic implementations. Hence, a pure digital implementation of a TRNG is highly demanded by modern-day applications. This thesis describes a simple TRNG design based on a single ring oscillator implemented using pure logic gates focusing on low power, and low area cryptographic applications. The randomization technique is based on sampling phase jitter contained in the oscillator ring. The TRNG has a very low area consumption, high throughput/area ratio and generates output bits at an acceptable bit rate. The security of the cryptographic primitives relies on the quality of the generated random bits, hence a TRNG for cryptographic applications must meet stringent requirements and should generate bits that can not be reproduced and are unpredictable in nature. The generator can be tested for its good statistical properties using a statistical test suite, ideally adjusted to a perfect RNG. Our TRNG design have been verified against statistical test suites from Diehard, NIST and BSI.

description: Critical finite-size scaling functions for the order parameter distribution of the two and three dimensional Ising model are investigated. Within a recently introduced classification theory of phase transitions, the universal part of the critical finite-size scaling functions has been derived by employing a scaling limit that differs from the traditional finite-size scaling limit. In this paper the analytical predictions are compared with Monte Carlo simulations. We find good agreement between the analytical expression and the simulation results. The agreement is consistent with the possibility that the functional form of the critical finite-size scaling function for the order parameter distribution is determined uniquely by only a few universal parameters, most notably the equation of state exponent.

description: Nucleon structure function ratios r(x) = F2A(x)/F2D(x) measured in the range of atomic masses A larger or equal 4 are analyzed with the aim to determine the pattern of the x and A dependence of F2(x) modifications caused by nuclear environment. It is found that the x and A dependence of the deviations of the r(x) from unity can be factorized in the entire range of x. The characteristic feature of the factorization is represented with the three cross-over points x_i, i = 1 -- 3 in which r(x) = 1 independently of A. In the range x lager than 0.7 the pattern of r(x) is fixed with x_3 = 0.84 +/- 0.01. The pattern of the x dependence is compared with theoretical calculations of Burov, Molochkov and Smirnov to demonstrate that evolution of the nucleon structure as a function of A occurs in two steps, first for A less or equal 4 and second for A larger than 4. The long-standing problem of the origin of the EMC effect is understood as the modification of the nucleon structure in the field responsible for the binding forces in a three-nucleon system.

description: The central building block of secure and privacy-preserving Vehicular Communication (VC) systems is a Vehicular Public-Key Infrastructure (VPKI), which provides vehicles with multiple anonymized credentials, termed pseudonyms. These pseudonyms are used to ensure message authenticity and integrity while preserving vehicle (and thus passenger) privacy. In the light of emerging large-scale multi-domain VC environments, the efficiency of the VPKI and, more broadly, its scalability are paramount. In this extended abstract, we leverage the state-of-the-art VPKI system and enhance its functionality towards a highly-available and dynamically-scalable design, this ensures that the system remains operational in the presence of benign failures or any resource depletion attack, and that it dynamically scales out, or possibly scales in, according to the requests' arrival rate. Our full-blown implementation on the Google Cloud Platform shows that deploying a VPKI for a large-scale scenario can be cost-effective, while efficiently issuing pseudonyms for the requesters.

description: The study of prehistoric textile production requires the excavation of sites with exceptional organic preservation. Here, the authors focus on thread production using evidence from two fourth-millennium BC pre-Alpine wetland sites: Arbon-Bleiche 3 in Switzerland and Bad Buchau-Torwiesen II in southern Germany. A comparison of the spindle whorls from these two settlements with a contemporaneous East-central European dataset suggests that multiple culture-historical groups with distinct technological signatures inhabited Neolithic Central Europe. Furthermore, the spatial distribution of conical spindle whorls within the pre-Alpine settlements suggests the immigration of both people and technology from the east, thereby illuminating the wider themes of mobility and innovation in prehistoric Europe.

description: The Sun is a highly dynamic environment that exhibits dynamic behavior on many different timescales. In particular, coronal holes exhibit temporal and spatial variability. Signatures of these coronal dynamics are inherited by the coronal hole wind streams that originate in these regions and can effect the Earth's magnetosphere. Both the cause of the observed variabilities and how these translate to fluctuations in the in situ observed solar wind is not yet fully understood. During solar activity minimum the structure of the magnetic field typically remains stable over several Carrington rotations (CRs). But how stable is the solar magnetic field? Here, we address this question by analyzing the evolution of a coronal hole structure and the corresponding coronal hole wind stream emitted from this source region over 12 consecutive CRs in 2006. To this end, we link in situ observations of Solar Wind Ion Composition Spectrometer (SWICS) onboard the Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE) with synoptic maps of Michelson Doppler imager (MDI) on the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) at the photospheric level through a combination of ballistic back-mapping and a potential field source surface (PFSS) approach. Together, these track the evolution of the open field line region that is identified as the source region of a recurring coronal hole wind stream. We find that the shape of the open field line region and to some extent also the solar wind properties are influenced by surrounding more dynamic closed loop regions. We show that the freeze-in order can change within a coronal hole wind stream on small timescales and illustrate a mechanism that can cause changes in the freeze-in order. The inferred minimal temperature profile is variable even within coronal hole wind and is in particular most variable in the outer corona.

description: The mounting evidences suggest that extracellular vesicles (EVs) contribute to HIV-1 pathogenesis, which is likely attributed to their ability to carry viral proteins and RNA. Previously we were able to investigate the role of EVs in viral infections [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]. Since EVs are heterogenous in their sizes and intracellular origin [6], we have attempted to investigate the role of large EVs in HIV-1 infection. HIV-1 infected monocytes and T cells were synchronized in G0 phase by serum starvation for 72 hours. Afterwards, cells were released in serum-rich media containing inducers to initiate viral transcription and resume normal cell cycle. The supernatant samples were collected at prior to release (-72 hours), and then, 6 (+6 hours) and 24 (+24 hours) post release. To enrich the samples for large EVs, the supernatants were centrifuged at 2000g (2K) speed for 45 minutes and separated through size exclusion chromatography and tested for viral proteins and RNAs. As a result, 2K fractions from both infected myeloid and T-cells showed the presence of HIV-1 capsid and envelope proteins, as well as HIV-1 short non-coding RNA (TAR). Next, the isolated large EVs from both infected myeloid and T-cells were subjected to virus rescue assay on uninfected naïve myeloid and T-cells. The cells were lysed and tested on the presence of viral proteins. As a result, previously uninfected myeloid and T-cells showed the production of viral proteins after the treatment by 2K EVs collected from -72 hours samples and +24 hrs. The cell treated by +6 hours, on the other hand, did not produce viral proteins. Taken together, 2K fraction from HIV-1 infected myeloid and T-cells, collected at 24 hours post release and from serum-deprived cells, are infectious and contain fully fledged virions. However, large EVs collected at 6 hours post-release failed to initiate viral infection. Since, 2K samples, including non-infectious ones, contain short non-coding HIV-1 RNA (TAR), they might play a major role in bystander effect on uninfected neighboring cells, that was reported previously [1].

description: The Iron Age chronology at Arslantepe is the result of the interpretation of Luwian hieroglyphic inscriptions and archaeological data coming from the site and its surrounding region. A new round of investigations of the Iron Age levels has been conducted at the site over the last 10 years. Preliminary results allowed the combination of the archaeological sequence with the historical events that extended from the collapse of the Late Bronze Age empires to the formation and development of the new Iron Age kingdoms. The integration into this picture of a new set of radiocarbon (14C) dates is aimed at establishing a more solid local chronology. High precision 14C dating by accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) and its correlation with archaeobotanical analysis and stratigraphic data are presented here with the purpose of improving our knowledge of the site’s history and to build a reliable absolute chronology of the Iron Age. The results show that the earliest level of the sequence dates to ca. the mid-13th century BC, implying that the site started developing a new set of relationships with the Levant already before the breakdown of the Hittite empire, entailing important historical implications for the Syro-Anatolian region at the end of the 2nd millennium BC.

The large acceptance of the time projection chamber and the electromagnetic calorimeter enable STAR to observe jets, and to detect photons and electrons in important regions of phase space. The premier experiments of the STAR spin program are discussed in this contribution. Photon + jet coincidence measurements will provide the world's best determination of the contribution gluons make to the proton's spin. Detection of the daughter electrons and positrons from $W^\pm$ decay will enable the determination of the polarization of the $q\bar{q}$ sea within the proton.

description: We study the quantum transition from a strongly correlated metal, with heavy fermionic quasiparticles, to a metal with commensurate charge or spin density wave order. To this end, we introduce and numerically analyze a large dimensionality model of Ising spins in a transverse field, coupled to two species of fermions; the analysis borrows heavily from recent progress in the solution of the Hubbard model in large dimensions. At low energies, the Ising order parameter fluctuations are characterized by the critical exponent $z ν= 1$, while above an energy scale, $Γ$, there is a crossover to $zν= 1/2$ criticality. We show that $Γ$ is of the order of the width of the heavy quasiparticle band, and can be made arbitrarily small for a correlated metal close to a Mott-Hubbard insulator. Therefore, such a correlated metal has a significant intermediate energy range of $zν=1/2$ behavior, a single particle spectrum with a narrow quasiparticle band, and well-formed analogs of the lower and upper Hubbard bands; we suggest that these features are intimately related in general.

description: Multiple experiments have observed a sharp transition in the band structure of LaAlO$_3$/SrTiO$_3$ (001) interfaces as a function of applied gate voltage. This Lifshitz transition, between a single occupied band at low electron density and multiple occupied bands at high density, is remarkable for its abruptness. In this work, we propose a mechanism by which such a transition might happen. We show via numerical modeling that the simultaneous coupling of the dielectric polarization to the interfacial strain ("electrostrictive coupling") and strain gradient ("flexoelectric coupling") generates a thin polarized layer whose direction reverses at a critical density. The Lifshitz transition occurs concomitantly with the polarization reversal and is first-order at $T=0$. A secondary Lifshitz transition, in which electrons spread out into semiclassical tails, occurs at a higher density.

Finite-size scaling study of Lee-Yang zeros yields lambda_c=0.00116(16) for the end point. Combined with a zero-temperature measurement of Higgs and W boson masses, this leads to M_{H,c}=68.2+-6.6 GeV for the critical Higgs boson mass. An independent analysis of Binder cumulant gives a consistent value lambda_c=0.00102(3) for the end point.

description: The solar wind originating from coronal holes is comparatively well-understood and is characterized by lower densities and average charge states compared to the so-called slow solar wind. Except for wave perturbations, the average properties of the coronal-hole solar wind are passably constant. In this case study, we {ocus on observations of the Solar Wind Ion Composition Spectrometer (SWICS) on the Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE) of individual streams of coronal-hole solar wind that illustrate that although the O and C charge states are low in coronal-hole wind, the Fe charge distribution is more variable. In particular, \markmeold{we illustrate that the Fe charge states in coronal-hole solar wind are frequently as high as in slow solar wind. We selected individual coronal-hole solar wind} streams based on their collisional age as well as their respective O and C charge states and analyzed their Fe charge-state distributions. Additionally, with a combination of simple ballistic back-mapping and the potential field source surface model, transitions between streams with high and low Fe charge states were mapped back to the photosphere. The relative frequency of high and low Fe charge-state streams is compared for the years 2004 and 2006. We found several otherwise typical coronal-hole streams that include Fe charge states either as high as or lower than in slow solar wind. Eight such transitions in 2006 were mapped back to equatorial coronal holes that were either isolated or connected to the northern coronal-hole. Attempts to identify coronal structures associated with the transitions were so far inconclusive.

description: 2.3. The effects of α - LA on the production of defensive specialized metabolites in S. divaricata
 Detailed comparative analysis of GC–MS data revealed that the contents of two compounds, (R)-falcarinol and bergapten, were increased in the whole plant after α- LA treatment of the plant (Fig. 5). The peaks were annotated or identified as shown in Table S3. The quantitative results of (R)-falcarinol and bergapten contents are shown in Fig. 6. There was a significant difference in the extent of the increase in (R)-falcarinol ( p <  0.05). Similarly, the bergapten content tended to increase, but the difference was not significant.
 Berenbaum (1983) reported that coumarin and its derivatives, linear and angular furanocoumarins, are toxic to Lepidopteran insects in the context of coevolution and furanocoumarins, such as bergapten, are more toxic to herbivores than coumarin. These compounds are thought to act as direct defense compounds in plants of the Rutaceae and Apiaceae families. Furthermore, studies have reported the insecticidal (mosquitocidal and nematocidal) activities of (R)-falcarinol, a polyacetylene compound in Apiaceae and Araliaceae plants (Eckenbach et al., 1999; Liu et al., 2016). In addition, Czyzewska et al. (2014) indicated the potent insecticidal activity of falcarinol associated with γ- aminobutyric acidergic block in herbivorous insects. These results suggest that α- LA, a major component in the regurgitant of P. machaon hippocrates larvae, can induce the biosynthesis of compounds involved in the direct defense of S. divaricata.

description: In this letter we study a coupled system of six-dimensional N=1 tensor and super Yang-Mills multiplets. We identify some of the solitonic states of this system which exhibit stringy behaviour in six dimensions. A discussion of the supercharges and energy for the tensor multiplet as well as zero modes is also given. We speculate about the possible relationship between our solution and what is known as tensionless strings.

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)

description: Bose-Einstein correlations in pairs of identical charged pions produced in a sample of 4.3 million Z0 hadronic decays are studied as a function of the three components of the momentum difference, transverse ("out" and "side") and longitudinal with respect to the thrust direction of the event. A significant difference between the transverse, r_t_side, and longitudinal, r_l, dimensions is observed, indicating that the emitting source of identical pions, as observed in the Longitudinally CoMoving System, has an elongated shape. This is observed with a variety of selection techniques. Specifically, the values of the parameters obtained by fitting the extended Goldhaber parametrisation to the correlation function C'= C^{DATA}}/C^{MC} for two-jet events, selected with the Durham algorithm and resolution parameter ycut=0.04, are r_t_out=(0.647+-0.011(stat})+0.022-0.124(syst)) fm, r_t_side=(0.809+-0.009(stat)+0.019-0.032}(syst)) fm, r_l=(0.989+-0.011(stat)+0.030-0.015(syst})) fm and r_l/r_t_side=1.222+-0.027(stat})+0.075-0.012(syst). The results are discussed in the context of a recent model of Bose-Einstein correlations based on string fragmentation.

description: Surface reconstructions of Au film on Pd(110) substrate are studied using a local Einstein approximation to quasiharmonic theory with the Sutton-Chen interatomic potential. Temperature dependent surface free energies for different coverages and surface structures are calculated. Experimentally observed transformations from $(1\times1)$ to $(1 \times 2)$ and $(1 \times 3)$ structures can be explained in the framework of this model. Also conditions for Stranski-Krastanov growth mode are found to comply with experiments. The domain of validity of the model neglecting mixing entropy is analyzed.

description: Introduction: Gender-specific treatment is gaining growing attention in various fields of medicine. In gastrointestinal cancer, influence of sex on outcome has been discussed, while this has not been the case in neuroendocrine tumors. Overall, the incidence of neuroendocrine neoplasms is rising, especially for appendiceal neuroendocrine neoplasms in women. Also, women seem to have a slight advantage in response to therapy, especially for liver metastases. Objectives: This single-center analysis aimed to investigate gender-specific differences in our cohort related to distribution, therapy, and outcome. Methods: Patients from the NET registry as well as the clinic database were evaluated retrospectively concerning overall survival and response to therapy with respect to gender. A subgroup analysis was carried out for patients with low grading and response to chemotherapy, as well as for patients with good and moderate grading receiving peptide receptor radionuclide therapy and for a group of patients with liver surgery. Results: No specific differences could be detected for overall survival or response to therapy between male and female patients. Mean survival was estimated with 242.2 months (+/- 10.39 SD) altogether and 221.7 months (+/- 13.02 SD) for male patients and 253.5 months (+/- 15.24 SD) for female patients from the NET registry from initial diagnosis. There was no significant difference between female and male patients (p = 0.136). For patients receiving chemotherapy, overall survival from initial diagnosis was calculated with 26 months (+/- 2.59) and did not show any significant differences between female and male patients 24.8 months (+/- 2.81 SD) vs. 27.8 months (+/- 3.86 SD, p = 0.87). Patients undergoing peptide receptor radionuclide therapy showed a median progression-free survival of 26.9 months (+/- 2.82 SD), with 16.9 (+/- 5.595 SD) and 26.9 months (+/- 3.019 SD) for male and female patients, respectively (p = 0.2). In the group of patients with liver surgery, female patients reached an estimated overall survival of 64.7 months (+/- 4.16 SD), male patients 65.1 months (+/- 2.79 SD, p = 0.562). Conclusion: Our cohort did not reveal significant differences in outcome and response to therapy with regards to gender.

description: Ag-sheathed CaKFe4As4 superconducting tapes have been fabricated via the ex-situ powder-in-tube method. Thermal and X-ray diffraction analyses suggest that the CaKFe4As4 phase is unstable at high temperatures. It decomposes into the CaAgAs phase which reacts strongly with the silver sheath. We therefore sintered the tape at 500C and obtain a transport critical current density Jc(4.2 K, 0 T)~ 2.7x10^4 A/cm2. The pinning potential derived from magnetoresistance measurements is one order of magnitude lower than that of the (Ba/Sr)1-xKxFe2As2 tapes. Combining with the scanning electron microscopy and magneto-optical imaging results, we suggest that bad connectivity between superconducting grains caused by the low sintering temperature is the main factor responsible for the low Jc. However, this system is still a promising candidate for superconducting wires and tapes if we further optimize the post-annealing process to achieve better grain connectivity.

description: Spacetime superalgebras with 64 or less number of real supercharges, containing the type IIB Poincare superalgebra in (9,1) dimensions and the N=1 Poincare superalgebra in (10,1) are considered. The restriction D<14, and two distinct possibilities arise: The N=(1,0) superalgebra in (11,3) dimensions, and the N=(2,0) superalgebra in (10,2) dimensions. Emphasizing the former, we describe superparticle and super Yang-Mills systems in (11,3) dimensions. We also propose an N=(2,1) superstring theory in (n,n) dimensions as a possible origin of super Yang-Mills in (8+n,n) dimensions.

Language as Control: A Postcolonial Critique of Inner Mongolia’s Education Policies
Creators: Zhang, Qing
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2025

This paper critically analyzes the recent educational language policy changes implemented by the Chinese government in Inner Mongolia, where ethnic Mongolians have historically maintained their distinct language and cultural heritage. Specifically, it examines the significant 2020 policy shift from Mongolian-medium instruction to Mandarin in core subjects. Using Postcolonial Theory as the central analytical framework, this research explores how such policies contribute to language loss, cultural assimilation, and the marginalization of Mongolian minority communities. The study highlights how Mandarin, while not historically a colonial language, operates similarly as a tool of linguistic imperialism, reflecting broader patterns of cultural hegemony. Drawing upon comparative insights from Canada's Indigenous language revitalization initiatives, the paper argues that successful language preservation requires community-driven bilingual education models, intergenerational transmission strategies, technological support, and robust legal frameworks for minority language protection.
