description: We introduce a new training algorithm for deep neural networks that utilize random complex exponential activation functions. Our approach employs a Markov Chain Monte Carlo sampling procedure to iteratively train network layers, avoiding global and gradient-based optimization while maintaining error control. It consistently attains the theoretical approximation rate for residual networks with complex exponential activation functions, determined by network complexity. Additionally, it enables efficient learning of multiscale and high-frequency features, producing interpretable parameter distributions. Despite using sinusoidal basis functions, we do not observe Gibbs phenomena in approximating discontinuous target functions.

description: Household inflation can be decomposed into three terms that reflect nominal expenditure, real quantities and household preferences, using the money pump proposed by Echenique, Lee and Shum (2011). I quantify the importance of changes in household preferences on household inflation rates using 11 years of scanner data for 11,000 US households. I then analyze the effect of monetary policy on household inflation using the monetary policy shocks from Nakamura and Steinsson (2018). I find that monetary policy news shocks affect household inflation through the expenditure and preferences channels for 12 months from the date of the shocks, and that federal funds rate shocks affect inflation through the same channels at a horizon of 13–24 months. The results suggest that changes in household preferences are an important driver of inflation dynamics at the household level.
description: L’inflation subie par les ménages peut être décomposée en trois termes – la dépense nominale, les quantités réelles et les préférences des ménages – à l’aide d’une unité de mesure (money pump cost) proposée par Echenique, Lee et Shum (2011). Je quantifie l’incidence de l’évolution des préférences des ménages sur les taux d’inflation des ménages en me fondant sur 11 ans de données recueillies à l’aide de lecteurs de codes barres pour 11 000 ménages américains. J’analyse ensuite l’effet de la politique monétaire sur l’inflation subie par les ménages au moyen des chocs de politique monétaire définis par Nakamura et Steinsson (2018). Je constate que les chocs liés aux annonces de politique monétaire se répercutent sur l’inflation subie par les ménages à travers leurs dépenses et leurs préférences pendant 12 mois à compter du moment où ils se produisent. Quant aux chocs liés aux annonces de taux des fonds fédéraux, ils prennent 13 à 24 mois pour se répercuter sur l’inflation à travers les mêmes canaux. Les résultats portent à croire que les changements de préférences des ménages jouent un rôle important dans la dynamique de l’inflation du côté des ménages.

description: As thefundamentallimits of two-dimensional(2D)geometric scaling of commercial transistors are being reached, there is tremendous demand for new materials and process innovations that can keep delivering performance improvements for future generations of computing chips. One major avenue being explored istheincorporation ofan increasing degree of three-dimensionality by vertically stacking logic and memory layerswith high-density interconnections.In this dissertation, high-performanceultra-thin amorphousindium oxide transistors are demonstrated as an excellent candidate for these back-end-of-line (BEOL) and monolithic 3D (M3D) integration applications. A major pain-point in the development of BEOL and M3D systems is the strict thermal budget imposed –once the bottom layer of devices is fabricated, they can generally withstand no more than 400 °C. It is exceedingly difficult to directly deposit single-crystal material at these temperatures, and polycrystalline materials will have grain boundary instability issues. Amorphous materials generally have low carrier mobilities, which would seemingly remove them from contention as well. Indium oxideand itsclass of related metal oxides are exceptions. Indium oxideis a wide bandgap semiconductor with high electron mobility up to about 100 cm2/V∙s in amorphous form. Ithas a strong preference for native degenerate n-type doping which has hindered prior devices fabricated with it. In this dissertation, extremely thin layers on the order of 1 nm thick are used for which quantum confinement effects widen the bandgap further, reliably enabling gate-controllable carrier densitiesand demonstration of excellent transistor performance with a low thermal budget of just 225 °C. Detailed characterization is performed down to 40 nm channel lengths revealing excellent transistor characteristics includingenhancement-mode operation withon currents greater than 2 A/μm, low subthreshold swing,and high on/off ratios due to the wide bandgap. Subsequent chaptersdemonstrate the fundamental lower limits of off current around 6 ×10-20 A/μmby a novel measurement technique, good gate bias stress stability behaviorwith small parameter drift at silicon complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) logic voltages, and high-frequency operationin the GHz regime enabling easy operation at CMOS clock frequencies.

description: Search engines (SEs) have traditionally been primary tools for information seeking, but the new Large Language Models (LLMs) are emerging as powerful alternatives, particularly for question-answering tasks. This study compares the performance of four popular SEs, seven LLMs, and retrieval-augmented (RAG) variants in answering 150 health-related questions from the TREC Health Misinformation (HM) Track. Results reveal SEs correctly answer between 50 and 70% of questions, often hindered by many retrieval results not responding to the health question. LLMs deliver higher accuracy, correctly answering about 80% of questions, though their performance is sensitive to input prompts. RAG methods significantly enhance smaller LLMs' effectiveness, improving accuracy by up to 30% by integrating retrieval evidence.

description: We study numerical integration by combining the trapezoidal rule with a Möbius transformation that maps the unit circle onto the real line. We prove that the resulting transformed trapezoidal rule attains the optimal rate of convergence if the integrand function lives in a weighted Sobolev space with a weight that is only assumed to be a positive Schwartz function decaying monotonically to zero close to infinity. Our algorithm only requires the ability to evaluate the weight at the selected nodes, and it does not require sampling from a probability measure defined by the weight nor information on its derivatives. In particular, we show that the Möbius transformation, as a change of variables between the real line and the unit circle, sends a function in the weighted Sobolev space to a periodic Sobolev space with the same smoothness. Since there are various results available for integrating and approximating periodic functions, we also describe several extensions of the Möbius-transformed trapezoidal rule, including function approximation via trigonometric interpolation, integration with randomized algorithms, and multivariate integration.

description: Background: People with Down syndrome (Ds) often present with balance deficits, which compromise their safety during daily activity. While evidence shows that exercise can improve balance in the Ds population, it is unclear if a telehealth method will elicit similar benefits. We aimed to examine the effects of a virtual exercise program on balance in adults with Ds.

Methods: Twenty participants completed a 12-week telehealth exercise program based on the Mann Method. Balance testing took place before and after the intervention, which included: Timed Up and Go (TUG), Modified Clinical Test of Sensory Interaction in Balance (MCTSIB), Frailty and Injuries: Cooperative Studies of Intervention Techniques (FICSIT-4), and Functional Reach Test (FRT).

Results: Significant improvement was seen in the TUG (p=0.043), FICSIT-4 (p=0.019) and FRT (p=0.030). All participants achieved maximum scores on the MCTSIB in pre- and post- testing.

Conclusions: Balance in adults with Ds significantly improved following the telehealth exercise program, which we attribute to the tailored exercises that address visual/vestibular deficits and hip muscle weakness.

description: We investigate the thermodynamics of Reissner-Nordstrom Gauss-Bonnet (RN-GB) black holes in anti-de Sitter (AdS) space with three horizon geometries (k=+1,0,-1) within the grand canonical ensemble. Using the recently developed topological approach to black hole thermodynamics, inspired by Duan's $ϕ$-mapping theory, we analyze the black holes by treating both critical points in the phase diagram and black hole solutions as defects in the thermodynamic parameter space. Our results show that the Gauss-Bonnet coupling significantly alters the topological classification of RN-GB AdS black holes, distinguishing them from their RN AdS counterparts in the grand canonical ensemble, while aligning with their canonical ensemble counterparts. Complementary analyses of local stability using specific heat validate the implication of topological analysis. Furthermore, an evaluation of global stability via Gibbs free energy provides a comprehensive understanding on the system's phase structure. Notably, for k=+1, topological analysis suggests liquid-gas type phase transitions, whereas global analysis favors Hawking-Page transitions. For k=-1, topology indicates a single stable black hole branch, yet the global analysis reveals the presence of Hawking-Page transition.

description: The first observation of a gravitational wave (GW) and a short gamma-ray burst (sGRB) emitted by the same binary neutron star (BNS) merger officially opened the field of GW multimessenger astronomy. In this paper, we define and address $\textit{lagging sirens}$, a new class of multimessenger BNSs for which associated GWs and sGRBs are observed without the identification of their host galaxy. We propose a new methodology to use the observed time delay of these sources to constrain the speed of gravity that is, the propagation speed of gravitational waves, the Hubble constant and the prompt time delay distribution between GWs and sGRBs, even though a direct redshift estimation from the host galaxy is unavailable. Our method exploits the intrinsic relation between GWs and sGRBs observed and prompt time delays to obtain a statistical redshift measure for the cosmological sources. We show that this technique can be used to infer the Hubble constant at the $10\%$~level of precision with future-generation GW detectors such as the Einstein Telescope and only 100 observations of this kind. The novel procedure that we propose has systematics that differ completely from the ones of previous GW methods for cosmology. Additionally, we demonstrate for the first time that the speed of gravity and the distribution of the prompt time delays between GWs and sGRBs can be inferred conjointly with less than 10 sources even with current GW detector sensitivities.

Nonequilibrium BCS-BEC crossover and unconventional FFLO superfluid in a strongly interacting driven-dissipative Fermi gas

description: We present a theoretical review of the recent progress in nonequilibrium BCS (Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer)-BEC (Bose-Einstein condensation) crossover physics. As a paradigmatic example, we consider a strongly interacting driven-dissipative two-component Fermi gas where the nonequilibrium steady state is tuned by adjusting the chemical potential difference between two reservoirs that are coupled with the system. As a powerful theoretical tool to deal with this system, we employ the Schwinger-Keldysh Green's function technique. We systematically evaluate the superfluid transition, as well as the single-particle properties, in the nonequilibrium BCS-BEC crossover region, by adjusting the chemical potential difference between the reservoirs and the strength of an s-wave pairing interaction associated with a Feshbach resonance. In the weak-coupling BCS side, the chemical potential difference is shown to imprint a two-step structure on the particle momentum distribution, leading to an anomalous enhancement of pseudogap, as well as the emergence of exotic Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov-type superfluid instability. Since various nonequilibrium situations have recently been realized in ultracold Fermi gases, the theoretical understanding of nonequilibrium BCS-BEC crossover physics would become increasingly important in this research field.

description: The driven Kerr parametric oscillator, of interest to fundamental physics and quantum technologies, exhibits an excited state quantum phase transition (ESQPT) originating in an unstable classical periodic orbit. The main signature of this type of ESQPT is a singularity in the level density in the vicinity of the energy of the classical separatrix that divides the phase space into two distinct regions. The quantum states with energies below the separatrix are useful for quantum technologies, because they show a cat-like structure that protects them against local decoherence processes. In this work, we show how chaos arising from the interplay between the external drive and the nonlinearities of the system destroys the ESQPT and eventually eliminates the cat states. Our results demonstrate the importance of the analysis of theoretical models for the design of new parametric oscillators with ever larger nonlinearities.

description: End-to-end robot learning, particularly for long-horizon tasks, often results in unpredictable outcomes and poor generalization. To address these challenges, we propose a novel Therblig-Based Backbone Framework (TBBF) as a fundamental structure to enhance interpretability, data efficiency, and generalization in robotic systems. TBBF utilizes expert demonstrations to enable therblig-level task decomposition, facilitate efficient action-object mapping, and generate adaptive trajectories for new scenarios. The approach consists of two stages: offline training and online testing. During the offline training stage, we developed the Meta-RGate SynerFusion (MGSF) network for accurate therblig segmentation across various tasks. In the online testing stage, after a one-shot demonstration of a new task is collected, our MGSF network extracts high-level knowledge, which is then encoded into the image using Action Registration (ActionREG). Additionally, Large Language Model (LLM)-Alignment Policy for Visual Correction (LAP-VC) is employed to ensure precise action registration, facilitating trajectory transfer in novel robot scenarios. Experimental results validate these methods, achieving 94.37% recall in therblig segmentation and success rates of 94.4% and 80% in real-world online robot testing for simple and complex scenarios, respectively.

description: Income support systems such as workers’ compensation can fund healthcare for workers disabled by low back pain. These systems may influence the quality of healthcare provided to workers with low back pain and their functional capacity. The risk of a workers’ compensation claim for low back pain in Australia is higher than a claim for limb fracture. Large portions of compensated Australian workers with low back pain receive diagnostic spinal imaging and opioids despite recommendations cautioning their use. Use of these services is associated with longer durations of work disability.

description: The fully entangled fraction (FEF) measures the proximity of a quantum state to maximally entangled states. FEF $>\frac{1}{d}$, in $d \otimes d$ systems is a significant benchmark for various quantum information processing protocols including teleportation. Quantum conditional entropy (QCE) on the other hand is a measure of correlation in quantum systems. Conditional entropies for quantum systems can be negative, marking a departure from conventional classical systems. The negativity of quantum conditional entropies plays a decisive role in tasks like state merging and dense coding. In the present work, we investigate the relation of these two important yardsticks. Our probe is mainly done in the ambit of states with maximally mixed marginals, with a few illustrations from other classes of quantum states. We start our study in two qubit systems, where for the Werner states, we obtain lower bounds to its FEF when the conditional Rényi $α-$entropy is negative. We then obtain relations between FEF and QCE for two qubit Weyl states. Moving on to two qudit states we find a necessary and sufficient condition based on FEF, for the isotropic state to have negative conditional entropy. In two qudit systems the relation between FEF and QCE is probed for the rank deficient and generalized Bell diagonal states. FEF is intricately linked with $k$- copy nonlocality and $k$- copy steerability. The relations between FEF and QCE facilitates to find conditions for $k$- copy nonlocality and $k$- copy steerability based on QCE. We obtain such conditions for certain classes of states in two qubits and two qudits. Applications of the relations obtained are provided in the context of work extraction, faithful entanglement and entropic uncertainty relations.

description: Modern technology has reached an unprecedented point enabling the creation
 of stable singular atomic layer structures known as two-dimensional
 materials. These layered systems represent an accessible platform for a
 deep understanding of the nanoscale physical phenomena, ranging from the
 fundamental physical fields up to more intricate paradigms like
 thermoelectricity or electromechanics. The properties of these materials
 can also be extensively modified, e.g., by stacking layers forming
 heterostructures or introducing defects that filter the charge transport.
 Nevertheless, to access such nanoscale systems and quantify their
 characteristics, powerful and precise tools are needed. Scanning probe
 microscopes can effectively accomplish this objective, given their
 capacity to probe a broad spectrum of physical phenomena with enhanced
 resolution while avoiding the modification of the studied materials.
 However, they are usually accompanied by analytical methods to deconvolute
 the intrinsic parameters that describe the structure’s performance.

 This thesis provides novel pathways for an accessible analysis of the
 thermal, electronic and mechanical behaviour in low-dimensional materials,
 focusing on local probe characterization. Also, the interplay of such
 properties is investigated, yielding deeper insights into the fields of
 thermoelectricity, piezoelectricity and thermomechanics. Specifically, the
 anisotropic thermal behaviour of indium selenide and perovskite is probed
 with a novel scanning thermal microscopy methodology, which is also
 applied to quantify the thermoelectric efficiency of structures based on
 transition metal dichalcogenides. Local modulation of the thermovoltage is
 also achieved by the patterning of nanoconstrictions in two-dimensional
 layers. Finally, the electromechanical and thermomechanical response of
 nanoscale systems is probed in a Moiré superlattice and soft nanotube
 networks.

 This work represents an improvement for the previously developed local
 probe characterization techniques, extensively describing new routes for
 enhanced physical phenomena quantification. It also provides new insights
 into the behaviour of nanoscale structures, expanding the current
 knowledge in fields such as heat management, thermoelectricity and
 piezoelectricity.

description: A leading approach to algorithm design aims to minimize the number of operations in an algorithm's compilation. One intuitively expects that reducing the number of operations may decrease the chance of errors. This paradigm is particularly prevalent in quantum computing, where gates are hard to implement and noise rapidly decreases a quantum computer's potential to outperform classical computers. Here, we find that minimizing the number of operations in a quantum algorithm can be counterproductive, leading to a noise sensitivity that induces errors when running the algorithm in non-ideal conditions. To show this, we develop a framework to characterize the resilience of an algorithm to perturbative noises (including coherent errors, dephasing, and depolarizing noise). Some compilations of an algorithm can be resilient against certain noise sources while being unstable against other noises. We condense these results into a tradeoff relation between an algorithm's number of operations and its noise resilience. We also show how this framework can be leveraged to identify compilations of an algorithm that are better suited to withstand certain noises.

description: The study draws on the privacy paradox to explore to what extent selected British social media influencers overstep their children’s privacy by sharing images of them online. We content analysed 5253 Instagram posts from ten major influencers in the UK and then collected self-reported data from the said influencers. By analysing actual sharing behaviour and relating it to self-reported perceptions of sharing behaviour, our study is the first systematic examination of actual sharenting behaviour in the British motherhood influencer industry. Images of children were featured in over 75% of the posts (3917), but the proportion of embarrassing, intimate and exposing content was relatively low (11.5%). Sponsorship and product advertisement appeared in 46.4% of posts featuring children which demonstrates that images of children are used for financial gain, most likely without informed consent. The popularity of posts varied but was not positively related to whether a post featured a child or not: posts with children did not attract more likes than posts without children. Influencers reported high awareness of their posting behaviour and high trust in online safety, suggesting that sharing images of their children is strategic rather than accidental. This study provides practical implications for motherhood influencers; specifically, the shared content does not need to cross privacy boundaries to gain popularity and engagement. Theoretically, the study does not offer strong support for the privacy paradox in this specific sample.

When do the Kahn-Kalai Bounds Provide Nontrivial Information?

description: The Park-Pham theorem (previously known as the Kahn-Kalai conjecture), bounds the critical probability, $p_c(\mathcal{F})$, of the a non-trivial property $\mathcal{F}\subseteq 2^X$ that is closed under supersets by the product of a universal constant $K$, the expectation threshold of the property, $q(\mathcal{F})$, and the logarithm of the size of the property's largest minimal element, $\log\ell(\mathcal{F})$. That is, the Park-Pham theorem asserts that $p_c(\mathcal{F})\leq Kq(\mathcal{F})\log\ell(\mathcal{F})$. Since the critical probability $p_c(\mathcal{F})$ always satisfies $p_c(\mathcal{F})<1$, one may ask when the upper bound posed by Kahn and Kalai gives us more information than this--that is, when is it true that $Kq(\mathcal{F})\log\ell(\mathcal{F}) < 1$? In this short note, we provide a number of necessary conditions for this to happen and give a few sufficient conditions for the bounds to provide new (and, in fact, asymptotically perfect) information along the way. In the most interesting case where $\ell(\mathcal{F}_n)\rightarrow \infty$, we prove the following relatively strong necessary condition for the Kahn-Kalai bounds to provide nontrivial information: For every positive integer $t$, every collection of all-but-$t$ of the minimal elements of $\mathcal{F}_n$ may have nonempty intersection for only finitely many $n$. Consequently, not only must the number of minimal elements become arbitrarily large, but so too must the size of any cover. Intuitively, this means that such sequences $\mathcal{F}_n$ must occupy an ever-widening `wedge' in $2^{X_n}$: the further $\mathcal{F}_n$ climbs up $2^{X_n}$ in one area, the further it must spread down and across $2^{X_n}$ in another.

description: Using the framework of stochastic thermodynamics we study heat production related to the stochastic motion of a particle driven by repulsive, nonlinear, time-delayed feedback. Recently it has been shown that this type of feedback can lead to persistent motion above a threshold in parameter space [Physical Review E 107, 024611 (2023)]. Here we investigate, numerically and by analytical methods, the rate of heat production in the different regimes around the threshold to persistent motion. We find a nonzero average heat production rate, $\langle \dot{q}\rangle$, already below the threshold, indicating the nonequilibrium character of the system even at small feedback. In this regime, we compare to analytical results for a corresponding linearized delayed system and a small-delay approximation which provides a reasonable description of $\langle \dot{q}\rangle$ at small repulsion (or delay time). Beyond the threshold, the rate of heat production is much larger and shows a maximum as function of the delay time. In this regime, $\langle \dot{q}\rangle$ can be approximated by that of a system subject to a constant force stemming from the long-time velocity in the deterministic limit. The distribution of dissipated heat, however, is non-Gaussian, contrary to the constant-force case.

description: Single-photon detectors (SPDs) are widely used in applications requiring extremely weak light detection. In the near-infrared region, SPDs based on InGaAs/InP single-photon avalanche diodes (SPADs) are the primary candidates for practical applications because of their small size, low cost and ease of operation. Driven by the escalating demands for quantum communication and lidar, the performance of InGaAs/InP SPDs has been continuously enhanced. This paper provides a comprehensive review of advances in InGaAs/InP SPDs over the past 10 years, including the investigation into SPAD structures and mechanisms, as well as emerging readout techniques for both gated and free-running mode SPDs. In addition, future prospects are also summarised.

description: Machado-Joseph disease (MJD) is an autosomal dominant spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) caused by a polyglutamine expansion in the ataxin-3 protein, which initiates a cascade of pathogenic events, including transcriptional dysregulation. Genotype-phenotype correlations in MJD are incomplete, suggesting an influence of additional factors, such as epigenetic modifications, underlying the MJD pathogenesis. DNA methylation is known to impact the pathophysiology of neurodegenerative disorders through gene expression regulation and increased methylation has been reported for other SCAs. In this work we aimed to analyse global methylation in MJD carriers. Global 5-mC levels were quantified in blood samples of 33 MJD mutation carriers (patients and preclinical subjects) and 33 healthy controls, matched by age, sex, and smoking status. For a subset of 16 MJD subjects, a pilot follow-up analysis with two time points was also conducted. No differences were found in median global 5-mC levels between MJD mutation carriers and controls and no correlations between methylation levels and clinical or genetic variables were detected. Also, no alterations in global 5-mC levels were observed over time. Our findings do not support an increase in global blood methylation levels associated with MJD.

description: One of the most important resources for quantum optical experiments and applications are on-demand highly entangled multiphoton quantum states. A promising way of generating them is heralding entanglement generation at a high rate from letting independent photons interfere. However, such schemes often work for a specific internal degree of freedom of the interfering photons only. Going to higher numbers of entangled photons, the success probabilities decrease while the number of necessary resources, e.g., auxiliary photons and optical elements, increases. To make probabilistic schemes feasible also for larger quantum states, it is therefore important to find resource-efficient generation schemes with high success probabilities. In this work, we introduce easily implementable schemes to herald qubit Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) states, higher-dimensional Bell states and higher-dimensional three-party GHZ states. Our schemes solely rely on multiphoton interference, i.e., they can be adjusted to work for arbitrary degrees of freedom. Furthermore, they demonstrate high success probabilities and need comparably few auxiliary photons.

description: Implizite und explizite Einstellungsmasse unterscheiden sich in ihrer prädiktiven Validität. Explizite Masse sind Prädiktoren von Verhalten in kognitiv getriebenen Situationen. Wohingegen implizite Masse affektiv getriebenes Verhalten vorhersagen. Bisher gibt es keine Studie, die die prädiktive Validität von verschiedenen impliziten Einstellungsmassen untersucht. In vorliegender Studie werden der Manikin Task, das evaluative Priming, der EAST und zwei explizite Masse auf ihre prädiktive Validität getestet. Zudem wird untersucht, ob das Implizieren eines kognitiven bzw. affektiven Fokus die Vorhersagekraft der Masse beeinflusst. Es stellt sich heraus, dass die expliziten Masse das Auswahlverhalten besser vorhersagen, als die impliziten Masse. Von den impliziten Massen ist das evaluative Priming der beste Prädiktor der Snackauswahl auf Papier und der Manikin Task der beste Prädiktor der realen Snackauswahl. Der affektive Fokus verstärkt die prädiktive Validität des evaluativen Primings.

description: Egocentric networks, often visualized as node-link diagrams, portray the complex relationship (link) dynamics between an entity (node) and others. However, common analytics tasks are multifaceted, encompassing interactions among four key aspects: strength, function, structure, and content. Current node-link visualization designs may fall short, focusing narrowly on certain aspects and neglecting the holistic, dynamic nature of egocentric networks. To bridge this gap, we introduce SpreadLine, a novel visualization framework designed to enable the visual exploration of egocentric networks from these four aspects at the microscopic level. Leveraging the intuitive appeal of storyline visualizations, SpreadLine adopts a storyline-based design to represent entities and their evolving relationships. We further encode essential topological information in the layout and condense the contextual information in a metro map metaphor, allowing for a more engaging and effective way to explore temporal and attribute-based information. To guide our work, with a thorough review of pertinent literature, we have distilled a task taxonomy that addresses the analytical needs specific to egocentric network exploration. Acknowledging the diverse analytical requirements of users, SpreadLine offers customizable encodings to enable users to tailor the framework for their tasks. We demonstrate the efficacy and general applicability of SpreadLine through three diverse real-world case studies (disease surveillance, social media trends, and academic career evolution) and a usability study.

description: The problem of the formation of exoplanets in inclined orbits relative to the equatorial plane of the parent star or the main plane of the protoplanetary disk can be solved by introducing a smaller inclined disk. However, the question of the nature of such an internal disk remains open. In the paper, we successfully tested the hypothesis about the formation of an inclined inner disk in a protoplanetary disk near a T Tau type star as a result of a gas stream falling on it. To test the hypothesis, three-dimensional gas-dynamic calculations were performed taking into account viscosity and thermal conductivity using the PLUTO package. In the course of the analysis of calculations, it was shown that a single intersection of the matter stream with the plane of the disk cannot ensure the formation of an inclined disk near the star, while a double intersection can. In addition, in the case of a retrograde fall of matter, the angle of inclination of the resulting inner disk is significantly greater. An analysis of the observational manifestations of this event was also carried out: the potential change in the brightness of the star, the distribution of optical thickness in angles, the evolution of the accretion rate. It is shown that the decrease in brightness can reach up to $5^m$, taking into account scattered light, and such a decrease in brightness will last several decades. In addition, a sharp increase in the accretion rate by two orders of magnitude could potentially trigger an FU Ori-like outburst.

description: This work-in-progress research paper explores the effectiveness of tutorials in interdisciplinary learning environments, specifically focusing on bioinformatics. Tutorials are typically designed for a single audience, but our study aims to uncover how they function in contexts where learners have diverse backgrounds. With the rise of interdisciplinary learning, the importance of learning materials that accommodate diverse learner needs has become evident. We chose bioinformatics as our context because it involves at least two distinct user groups: those with computational backgrounds and those with biological backgrounds. The goal of our research is to better understand current bioinformatics software tutorial designs and assess them in the conceptual framework of interdisciplinarity. We conducted a content analysis of 22 representative bioinformatics software tutorials to identify design patterns and understand their strengths and limitations. We found common codes in the representative tutorials and synthesized them into ten themes. Our assessment shows degrees to which current bioinformatics software tutorials fulfill interdisciplinarity.

description: Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase (G6PD) enzyme deficiency is the most prevalent X-linked recessive hereditary red blood cell abnormality, affecting over 500 million people globally (Luzzatto et al., 2016). This deficiency is critical as G6PD catalyzes the first step in the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP), the sole source of Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Phosphate (NADPH) in red blood cells (RBCs). NADPH, in turn, is essential for converting oxidized glutathione (GSSG) to its reduced form (GSG), which protects cells from oxidative stress by neutralizing reactive oxygen species (ROS) (Gomez-Manzo et al., 2017). Interestingly, G6PD deficiency is believed to confer a protective advantage against malaria, suggesting that natural selection has played a role in maintaining its gene frequencies in malaria-endemic regions. This study explores the frequency of G6PD deficiency in a holoendemic village in Sub-Saharan Africa, examining its implications for public health and potential benefits in malaria-prone areas.
