description: Optimising quality and length of life in low survival cancers, such as upper gastrointestinal cancers, is imperative. This Thesis examined the relationships between skeletal muscle stores, nutrition status, quality of life, and survival in people with upper gastrointestinal cancer. Through a series of studies, it’s demonstrated that poor nutrition status is a key element in the interplay between skeletal muscle depletion and poor quality of life and survival. There is an urgent need to develop interventions that can effectively improve nutrition status, to protect skeletal muscle mass, quality of life and length of survival in people with upper gastrointestinal cancers.

description: In 1983, Borowiecki and Jóźwiak posed the problem ``Characterize those graphs which have purely imaginary per-spectrum.'' This problem is still open. The most general result, although a partial solution, was given in 2004 by Yan and Zhang, who show that if $G$ is a bipartite graph containing no subgraph which is an even subdivision of $K_{2,3}$, then it has purely imaginary per-spectrum. Zhang and Li in 2012 proved that such graphs are planar and admit a Pfaffian orientation. In this article, we describe how to construct graphs with purely imaginary per-spectrum having a subgraph which is an even subdivision of $K_{2,3}$ (planar and nonplanar) using coalescence of rooted graphs.

description: Diffusional kurtosis imaging (DKI) is a methodology for measuring the extent of non-Gaussian diffusion in biological tissue, which has shown great promise in clinical diagnosis, treatment planning and monitoring of many neurological diseases and disorders. However, robust, fast and accurate estimation of kurtosis from clinically feasible data acquisitions remains a challenge. In this study, we first outline a new accurate approach of estimating mean kurtosis via the sub-diffusion mathematical framework. Crucially, this extension of the conventional DKI overcomes the limitation on the maximum b-value of the latter. Kurtosis and diffusivity can now be simply computed as functions of the sub-diffusion model parameters. Second, we propose a new fast and robust fitting procedure to estimate the sub-diffusion model parameters using two diffusion times without increasing acquisition time as for the conventional DKI. Third, our sub-diffusion based kurtosis mapping method is evaluated using both simulations and the Connectome 1.0 human brain data. Exquisite tissue contrast is achieved even when the diffusion encoded data is collected in only minutes. In summary, our findings suggest robust, fast and accurate estimation of mean kurtosis can be realised within a clinically feasible diffusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging data acquisition time.

description: Detecting abrupt changes in data distribution is one of the most significant tasks in streaming data analysis. Although many unsupervised Change-Point Detection (CPD) methods have been proposed recently to identify those changes, they still suffer from missing subtle changes, poor scalability, or/and sensitivity to outliers. To meet these challenges, we are the first to generalise the CPD problem as a special case of the Change-Interval Detection (CID) problem. Then we propose a CID method, named iCID, based on a recent Isolation Distributional Kernel (IDK). iCID identifies the change interval if there is a high dissimilarity score between two non-homogeneous temporal adjacent intervals. The data-dependent property and finite feature map of IDK enabled iCID to efficiently identify various types of change-points in data streams with the tolerance of outliers. Moreover, the proposed online and offline versions of iCID have the ability to optimise key parameter settings. The effectiveness and efficiency of iCID have been systematically verified on both synthetic and real-world datasets.

description: In this paper we study the cosmological aspects of metric-affine $f(R)$ gravity with hyperfluid. The equations of motion of the theory are obtained by varying the action with respect to the metric and the independent connection. Subsequently, considering a Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker background, we derive the modified Friedmann equations in the presence of a perfect cosmological hyperfluid. Especially, we focus on the particular case in which $f(R)=R+βR^2$, considering purely shear hypermomentum and finding exact solutions in the weak coupling limit.

description: Um die Geräuschentwicklung großer Ventilatoranlagen einzudämmen, werden Kulissenschalldämpfer eingesetzt. Damit aerodynamische Verluste und Strömungsgeräusche durch die Installation des Schalldämpfers zu keiner wesentlichen Beeinträchtigung der Betriebseigenschaften führen, darf die maximale Geschwindigkeit zwischen den Kulissen einen kritischen Wert nicht überschreiten. Die aerodynamischen und akustischen Eigenschaften dieser Anordnung werden an einer skalierten Versuchsanlage untersucht. Auf Basis der Untersuchungsergebnisse wird eine neue Schalldämpfereinheit entwickelt. Wird anstatt der Einheit nach dem Stand der Technik die neue Einheit installiert, kann der Gütegrad der Anlage deutlich gesteigert werden.

description: Fine-grained fashion retrieval searches for items that share a similar attribute with the query image. Most existing methods use a pre-trained feature extractor (e.g., ResNet 50) to capture image representations. However, a pre-trained feature backbone is typically trained for image classification and object detection, which are fundamentally different tasks from fine-grained fashion retrieval. Therefore, existing methods suffer from a feature gap problem when directly using the pre-trained backbone for fine-tuning. To solve this problem, we introduce an attribute-guided multi-level attention network (AG-MAN). Specifically, we first enhance the pre-trained feature extractor to capture multi-level image embedding, thereby enriching the low-level features within these representations. Then, we propose a classification scheme where images with the same attribute, albeit with different values, are categorized into the same class. This can further alleviate the feature gap problem by perturbing object-centric feature learning. Moreover, we propose an improved attribute-guided attention module for extracting more accurate attribute-specific representations. Our model consistently outperforms existing attention based methods when assessed on the FashionAI (62.8788% in MAP), DeepFashion (8.9804% in MAP), and Zappos50k datasets (93.32% in Prediction accuracy). Especially, ours improves the most typical ASENet_V2 model by 2.12%, 0.31%, and 0.78% points in FashionAI, DeepFashion, and Zappos50k datasets, respectively.

Comparison of SMC and OMC results in determining the ground-state and meta-stable states solutions for UO$_2$ in DFT+U method

description: Correct prediction of the behavior of UO2 crystal, which is an antiferromagnetic system with strongly-correlated electrons, is possible by using a modified density functional theory, the DFT+U method. In the context of DFT+U, the energy of crystal turns out to be a function with several local minima, the so-called meta-stable states, and the lowest energy state amongst them is identified as the ground state. OMC was a method that were used in DFT+U to determine the ground state. Recently the SMC method was proposed which using only the oxygen electronic spin-polarization degrees of freedom also revealed the multi-minima structure of energy in the DFT+U approach and led to results in good agreement with experiment. In this work, we compare the SMC and OMC results and show that although the ground states of the two methods have similar energies and geometries, the electronic structures have significant differences. Moreover, we show that the GS obtained from SMC is by 0.0022 Ry/(formula unit) above that of OMC. The different GS results from the two methods implies that they search for the minimum-energy state over different subspaces of electron densities and each method alone is not capable to locate the global minimum of the energy. Therefore, to obtain the global-minimum state of energy one has to search over larger subspaces that involve both occupation matrices of U atoms and starting magnetization of O atoms.

description: The so-called Permian – Triassic mass extinction was followed by a prolonged period of ecological recovery that lasted until the Middle Triassic. Triassic stromatolites from the Germanic Basin seem to be an important part of the puzzle, but have barely been investigated so far. Here we analyzed late Anisian (upper Middle Muschelkalk) stromatolites from across the Germanic Basin by combining petrographic approaches (optical microscopy, micro X-ray fluorescence, Raman imaging) and geochemical analyses (sedimentary hydrocarbons, stable carbon and oxygen isotopes). Paleontological and sedimentological evidence, such as Placunopsis bivalves, intraclasts and disrupted laminated fabrics, indicate that the stromatolites formed in subtidal, shallow marine settings. This interpretation is consistent with δ13Ccarb of about -2.1 ‰ to -0.4 ‰. Remarkably, the stromatolites are composed of microbes (perhaps cyanobacteria and sulfate reducing bacteria) and metazoans (non-spicular demosponges, Placunopsis bivalves, and/or Spirobis-like worm tubes). Therefore, they should more correctly be referred to as microbe-metazoan build-ups. They are characterized by diverse lamination types, including planar, wavy, domal and conical ones. Microbial mats likely played an important role in forming the planar and wavy laminations. Domal and conical laminations commonly show clotted to peloidal features and mesh-like fabrics, attributed to fossilized non-spicular demosponges. In the light of our findings, it appears plausible that the involved organisms benefited from elevated salinities. Another possibility is that the mutualistic relationship between microbes and non-spicular demosponges enabled these organisms to fill ecological niches cleared by the Permian – Triassic Crisis and maintain their advantage until the Middle Triassic.

Abstract
Inavolisib (Itovebi™) is an orally administered, phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase alpha (PI3Kα) inhibitor being developed by Genentech, a member of the Roche group, for the treatment of solid tumours. On 10 October 2024, inavolisib received its first approval in the USA in combination with palbociclib and fulvestrant for the treatment of adults with endocrine-resistant, PIK3CA-mutated, hormone receptor (HR)-positive, human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2)-negative, locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer, as detected by an FDA-approved test, following recurrence on or after completing adjuvant endocrine therapy. In the EU and other countries worldwide, regulatory review of inavolisib is currently underway. This article summarises the milestones in the development of inavolisib leading to this first approval for endocrine-resistant, PIK3CA-mutated, HR-positive, HER2-negative, locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer.

description: A 3D web-service has been developed for the modeling and for the management of karst aquifers and related groundwater resources. Visual KARSYS allows users to build explicit models of karst aquifers via a 3D geological modeller (gmLib Python library) and a series of tools (i.e. algorithms) which provide characteristics of groundwater bodies by applying hydraulic principles. Visual KARSYS is designed for geologists or hydrogeologists working for public institutions or private companies, but also for administration or decision makers facing various issues in karst environments: groundwater resources, natural hazards, geothermal energy, civil engineering, etc. Outputs from Visual KARSYS (data, models and resulting documentation) can be shared between users for being consulted or edited. The web-service is available at visualkarsys.com and it is currently free-of-charge and we encourage users to use it. In March 2021, more than 425 users already registered and ~150 persons attended the training courses. The Visual KARSYS project is supported by the Swiss Federal Office for Environment via the grant for the promotion of environmental technology (2016-2019, UTF 537.13.16).

title: Deep hydrochemical profile through the Alps – solute acquisition during distinct water-rock-interaction along the Sedrun section of the Gotthard Base Tunnel

description: During drilling of the Gotthard Base Tunnel through the Central Alps the exposed fractured rocks and the frequent water inflows provided a deep insight into regional hydrogeological processes in orogenic crystalline basements. Here we report data from the 10 km long central Sedrun section. 211 water samples were collected from frequent inflow points at 900 to 2350 m below the surface. The singular samples and data provide a comprehension of the deep hydrochemical cross-section through the Central Alps. The investigated tunnel section cuts across gneisses and schists of the pre-Alpine basement and across two narrow zones of meta-sediments. Rock temperature varies from 30 °C to 45 °C depending on the thickness of the overburden. The fracture water is of meteoric origin and acquires its composition exclusively by chemical interaction with the surrounding rocks along the flow path. Water from inflow points in the basement of the Gotthard massif has typically a high pH of about 10 and total dissolved solids in the range of 100 to 300 mg L-1. Sodium is the prime cation of most waters. Although plentiful in the rocks, calcium, potassium, and magnesium are low to very low in the water. The anions associated with Na are carbonate/bicarbonate, sulfate, fluoride and chloride in widely varying proportions. High fluoride concentrations of up to 15.4 mg L-1 are characteristic for most waters. As a result of the high pH dissolved silica (SiO2) reached concentrations of up to 58 mg L-1 and represents 25 - 30 wt.% of the solutes.

description: We study a $\mathbb{Z}_3$ Kitaev model on the honeycomb lattice with nearest neighbor interactions. Based on matrix product state simulations and symmetry considerations, we find evidence that, with ferromagnetic isotropic couplings, the model realizes a chiral spin liquid, characterized by a possible $\mathrm{U}(1)_{12}$ chiral topological order. This is supported by simulations on both cylinder and strip geometries. On infinitely long cylinders with various widths, scaling analysis of entanglement entropy and maximal correlation length suggests that the model has a gapped 2D bulk. The topological entanglement entropy is extracted and found to be in agreement with the $\mathrm{U}(1)_{12}$ topological order. On infinitely long strips with moderate widths, we find the model is critical with a central charge consistent with the chiral edge theory of the $\mathrm{U}(1)_{12}$ topological phase. We conclude by discussing several open questions.

Diagnosis.
Although only female specimens were collected and examined in the present study, the identity of the species is clear and well-supported. S. catba can be distinguished from its congeners by its white-yellowish body (Fig. 1 A), a black eye composed of more than 30 ommatidia (Fig. 1 B), and long antennae that extend beyond the posterior edge of pleurotergite (= PT) 7 when folded backwards. It also has 5 + 5 crests between the ozopores on midbody pleurotergites (= PTs), a gonocoxal process g that is approximately 1.5 × the length of process k, and paraprocts divided into larger ventral and smaller dorsal sclerites (Fig. 1 C; Stoev and Enghoff 2011). The females studied here have well-developed, highly elevated cylindrical cyphopods (Fig. 1 D).
Remarks.
The species is currently known from three caves on Cat Ba Island: Hoa Cuong Cave and Tien Duc Cave (Stoev and Enghoff 2011), and Trung Trang (present study).

description: We extend the characterization of context-free groups of Muller and Schupp in two ways. We first show that for a quasi-transitive inverse graph $Γ$, being quasi-isometric to a tree, or context-free (finitely many end-cones types), or having the automorphism group $Aut(Γ)$ that is virtually free, are all equivalent conditions. Furthermore, we add to the previous equivalences a group theoretic analog to the representation theorem of Chomsky-Schützenberger that is fundamental in solving a weaker version of a conjecture of T. Brough which also extends Muller and Schupp' result to the class of groups that are virtually finitely generated subgroups of direct product of free groups. We show that such groups are precisely those whose word problem is the intersection of a finite number of languages accepted by quasi-transitive, tree-like inverse graphs.

Less is different: why sparse networks with inhibition differ from complete graphs

description: In neuronal systems, inhibition contributes to stabilizing dynamics and regulating pattern formation. Through developing mean field theories of neuronal models, using complete graph networks, inhibition is commonly viewed as one ``control parameter'' of the system, promoting an absorbing phase transition. Here, we show that for low connectivity sparse networks, inhibition weight is not a control parameter of the transition. We present analytical and simulation results using generic stochastic integrate-and-fire neurons that, under specific restrictions, become other simpler stochastic neuron models common in literature, which allow us to show that our results are valid for those models as well. We also give a simple explanation about why the inhibition role depends on topology, even when the topology has a dimensionality greater than the critical one. The absorbing transition independence of the inhibitory weight may be an important feature of a sparse network, as it will allow the network to maintain a near-critical regime, self-tuning average excitation, but at the same time, have the freedom to adjust inhibitory weights for computation, learning, and memory, exploiting the benefits of criticality.
