description: Production of an extracellular thermophilic and alkali stable laccase from Phoma herbarum isolate KU4 was reported for the first time, both in submerged fermentation (SmF, highest 1590 U/mL) and solid state fermentation (SSF, highest 2014.21 U/mL) using agro-industrial residues. The laccase was partially purified to 7.93 fold with the apparent molecular weight of 298 kDa. The enzyme had pH optimum at 5.0 and temperature optimum at 50 °C, with maximum stability at pH 8.0. It showed activity towards various phenolic and non-phenolic compounds. The kinetic parameters, Km, Vmax and Kcat of the laccase for DMP were 0.216 mM, 270.27 U/mg and 506.69 s−1, respectively. Laccase activity was inhibited by various metal ions and conventional inhibitors, however, it was slightly increased by Zn2+. The laccase showed good decolorization efficiency towards four industrial dyes, namely, methyl violet (75.66%), methyl green (65%), indigo carmine (58%) and neutral red (42%) within 24 h. FTIR analysis of the decolorized products confirmed the degradation of the dyes. The decolorization efficiency of the enzyme suggests that the partially purified laccase could be used to decolorize synthetic dyes present in industrial effluents and for waste water treatments. The thermophilic and alkali stable laccase may also have wider potential industrial applications.

description: Quality of HPC scheduling directly depends on accuracy of job runtime estimation. This work proposes a modeling method for runtime estimation of linear algebra tasks. Model uses complexity estimation as input parameter, and either Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) model or linear regression model is used depending on complexity estimation value. This model was fitted and tested using runtime data for three algorithms: matrix multiplication, power iteration and Jacobi method for system of linear equations. Testing on this data showed that proposed model outperforms Randow Forest and XGBoost in most cases, relative error for proposed model is lower by 4-5% by average.

description: Nel mio lavoro ho voluto utilizzare un'attività didattica di educazione scientifica tradizionale della scuola dell'infanzia ticinese, come la semina del fagiolo in una coltivazione, per indagare con una sezione reale l’evoluzione dei modelli organizzativi del pensiero scientifico del bambino di SI durante l’osservazione dello sviluppo di una pianta di fagiolo di diverse varietà, così da osservare anche le prime loro idee sulla biodiversità. La costruzione dell’orto in sezione ha interessato da subito i bambini portandoli a confrontarsi con vere e proprie situazioni problema che innescavano in essi delle ridescrizioni rappresentazionali (RR) delle loro concezioni personali, stabilizzate in modelli scientifici condivisi. I risultati ottenuti mostrano che le attività concrete finalizzate alla RR delle concezioni scientifiche dei bambini, favorite in particolare dal riconoscimento dell'evoluzione temporale di variabili percettive e concrete (colore, forma dimensione), hanno consentito loro di costruire modelli scientifici del ciclo seme-fagiolo, e della biodiversità, per quanto ancora concreti e di base.

description: The study of two-dimensional (2D) electronic systems is of great fundamental significance in physics. Atomic layers containing hybridized domains of graphene and hexagonal boron nitride (h-BNC) constitute a new kind of disordered 2D electronic system. Magneto-electric transport measurements performed at low temperature in vapor phase synthesized h-BNC atomic layers show a clear and anomalous transition from an insulating to a metallic behavior upon cooling. The observed insulator to metal transition can be modulated by electron and hole doping and by the application of an external magnetic field. These results supported by ab-initio calculations suggest that this transition in h-BNC has distinctly different characteristics when compared to other 2D electron systems and is the result of the coexistence between two distinct mechanisms, namely, percolation through metallic graphene networks and hopping conduction between edge states on randomly distributed insulating h-BN domains.

description: We generalize the works of Lee [arXiv:math/0210213v3] and Gornik [arXiv:math/0402266v2] to construct a basis for generic deformations of the colored sl(N)-homology defined in [arXiv:1002.2662v1]. As applications, we construct non-degenerate pairings and co-pairings which lead to dualities of generic deformations of the colored sl(N)-homology. We also define and study colored sl(N)-Rasmussen invariants. Among other things, we observe that these invariants vanish on amphicheiral knots and discuss some implications of this observation.

description: We use the framework of a recently proposed model of reduced relativistic gas (RRG) to obtain the bounds for $Ω$'s of Dark Matter and Dark Energy (in the present case, a cosmological constant), taking into consideration an arbitrary warmness of Dark Matter. An equivalent equation of state has been used by Sakharov to predict the oscillations in the matter power spectrum. Two kind of tests are accounted for in what follows, namely the ones coming from the dynamics of the conformal factor of the homogeneous and isotropic metric and also the ones based on linear cosmic perturbations. The RRG model demonstrated its high effectiveness, permitting to explore a large volume in the space of mentioned parameters in a rather economic way. Taking together the results of such tests as Supernova type Ia (Union2 sample), $H(z)$, CMB ($R$ factor), BAO and LSS (2dfGRS data), we confirm that $\La$CDM is the most favored model. At the same time, for the 2dfGRS data alone we found that an alternative model with a very small quantity of a Dark Matter is also viable. This output is potentially relevant in view of the fact that the LSS is the only test which can not be affected by the possible quantum contributions to the low-energy gravitational action.

description: The study assessed the profitability potentials of cocoa marketing in Abia State, Nigeria. A multi-stage sampling was adopted to select 80 cocoa farmers. Data was collected using a structured questionnaire. Descriptive statistics, marketing efficiency model and net farm revenue were employed in the data analysis. It was found that 69% of the respondents were men, 44% of the farmers (majority) were between ages 35 and 44 years. It was found that cocoa marketing is profitable as shown by the positive profit received. The marketers incurred an average variable and fixed cost of N 27,026 and ₦9,500 respectively. The marketers earned average total revenue of ₦53,862 per month, which indicates that an average marketer earned ₦17,336 as net income per month and realized 32 kobo in every ₦1.00 invested. The margin of 15.71% shows that cocoa marketing is profitable. The efficiency value of 1.474 suggests that cocoa marketing is efficient in the study area. Age, quantity sold and marketing experience were positively related to profit at 5 percent, 10 percent and 1 percent significant levels respectively while an increase in household size, distance to market, transportation costs and storage cost will reduce the level of profit of cocoa marketing. Shortage of capital, cost of marketing and storage facilities were the major constraints militating against cocoa marketing. It was concluded that cocoa marketing is profitable. We recommend that storage facilities and access to loans be provided to cocoa marketers not only as agricultural loans but as part of small and medium scale enterprises (SMEs) development grant, to expand their capacities.
Resprop : reused sparsified backpropagation
Creators: name: Goli, Negar
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2020

description: The success of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) in various applications is accompanied by a significant increase in computation and training time. In this work, we focus on accelerating training by observing that about 90% of gradients are reusable during training. Leveraging this observation, we propose a new algorithm, Reuse-Sparse-Backprop (ReSprop), as a method to sparsify gradient vectors during CNN training. ReSprop maintains state-of-the-art accuracy on CIFAR-10, CIFAR-100, and ImageNet datasets with less than 1.1% accuracy loss while enabling a reduction in back-propagation computations by a factor of 10x resulting in a 2.7x overall speedup in training. As the computation reduction introduced by ReSprop is accomplished by introducing fine-grained sparsity that reduces computation efficiency on GPUs, we introduce a generic sparse convolution neural network accelerator (GSCN), which is designed to accelerate sparse back-propagation convolutions. When combined with ReSprop, GSCN achieves 8.0x and 7.2x speedup in the backward pass on ResNet34 and VGG16 versus a GTX 1080 Ti GPU.
On the classification of irreducible representations of affine Hecke algebras with unequal parameters

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Representation Theory (math.RT)

subject: 20C08, 20G25

description: Let $R$ be a root datum with affine Weyl group $W^e$, and let $H = H (R,q)$ be an affine Hecke algebra with positive, possibly unequal, parameters $q$. Then $H$ is a deformation of the group algebra $\mathbb C [W^e]$, so it is natural to compare the representation theory of $H$ and of $W^e$. We define a map from irreducible $H$-representations to $W^e$-representations and we show that, when extended to the Grothendieck groups of finite dimensional representations, this map becomes an isomorphism, modulo torsion. The map can be adjusted to a (nonnatural) continuous bijection from the dual space of $H$ to that of $W^e$. We use this to prove the affine Hecke algebra version of a conjecture of Aubert, Baum and Plymen, which predicts a strong and explicit geometric similarity between the dual spaces of $H$ and $W^e$. An important role is played by the Schwartz completion $S = S (R,q)$ of $H$, an algebra whose representations are precisely the tempered $H$-representations. We construct isomorphisms $ζ_ε: S (R,q^ε) \to S (R,q)$ $(ε>0)$ and injection $ζ_0 : S (W^e) = S (R,q^0) \to S (R,q)$, depending continuously on $ε$. Although $ζ_0$ is not surjective, it behaves like an algebra isomorphism in many ways. Not only does $ζ_0$ extend to a bijection on Grothendieck groups of finite dimensional representations, it also induces isomorphisms on topological $K$-theory and on periodic cyclic homology (the first two modulo torsion). This proves a conjecture of Higson and Plymen, which says that the $K$-theory of the $C^*$-completion of an affine Hecke algebra $H (R,q)$ does not depend on the parameter(s) $q$.

description: We calculate the optical Hall conductivity within the Kubo formalism for systems with gapped spectral nodes, where the latter have a power-law dispersion with exponent n. The optical conductivity is proportional to n and there is a characteristic logarithmic singularity as the frequency approaches the gap energy. The optical Hall conductivity is almost unaffected by thermal fluctuations and disorder for n=1, whereas disorder has a stronger effect on transport properties if n=2.
SEDBYS: a python-based SED Builder for Young Stars
Creators: name: Davies, Claire L
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2021

description: Spectral energy distributions (SEDs) are useful primary and complementary tools in the analysis of observations of young stars. However, the process for collating, inspecting, and flux-converting archival photometry and spectroscopy to build these SEDs is time-consuming. Existing online tools are also far from complete, missing useful archival photometry published prior to the development of online catalogs or flux measurements reported in the main body of text rather than in a table, for instance. This particularly effects the collation of millimeter and radio data, as well as shorter wavelength data for photometrically variable stars. In this poster, I present SEDBYS (Spectral Energy Distribution Builder for Young Stars), an open-source, python-based repository of command-line tools built to (i) query online photometric and spectroscopic catalogs as well as a distributed database of archival photometry; (ii) flux-convert the acquired data; (iii) allow for interactive visual inspect ion of the collated SED and (iv) handle book-keeping to collate references in publication-ready bibTeX format. SEDBYS' searchable repository of published photometry and flux measurements increases the legacy value of data which do not already exist in queryable online catalogs. I further show how individual users can expand the photometry database for the benefit of the star formation community.

description: We investigate the surface diffusion flow of smooth curves with anisotropic surface energy.This geometric flow is the H−1-gradient flow of an energy functional. It preserves the areaenclosed by the evolving curve while at the same time decreases its energy. We show theexistence of a unique local in time solution for the flow but also the existence of a global intime solution if the initial curve is close to the Wulff shape. In addition, we prove that theglobal solution converges to the Wulff shape as t → ∞. In the current setting, the anisotropyis not too strong so that the Wulff shape is given by a smooth curve. In the last section, weformulate the corresponding problem when the Wulff shape exhibits corners.

description: This study aimed to provide insight about clinical management of ciliated hepatic foregut cysts (CHFC) at a tertiary centre. CHFC is a rare cystic lesion of the liver with malignant potential according to previous reports. However, the current recommendation to resect all cysts in fit patients is based on limited evidence. Retrospective observational single-centre study including all patients with radiological suspicion of CHFC at Karolinska University Hospital during the years 2015–2022. Patients were characterised, mainly descriptively, regarding baseline characteristics, radiological and histopathological data, as well as data on follow-up. A total of 41 patients with suspected CHFC were identified. Of these, 23 were operated and 18 only diagnosed radiologically. Of the operated, 19 patients (83%) had a histopathological examination confirming CHCF diagnosis. No patient had dysplasia or cancer in the specimen, and no patient developed cancer during a follow-up length (from first radiology) of 82 months (3–215). CHFC can be diagnosed radiologically with acceptable accuracy. No patient in this study had malignant transformation, neither in the specimens nor during follow-up. Surgical treatment of CHCF for all patients fit for surgery should probably be challenged, but further studies supporting this change of management are needed.

description: Il progetto prevede la realizzazione di una passerella in acciaio e vetro che colleghi due edifici del palazzo Reali a Lugano, sede del museo cantonale d’arte. L’obiettivo principale è stato quello di inserire il più delicatamente possibile il nuovo oggetto in un contesto storico esistente rispettandone la sua storia. Dopo un approfondito studio di varianti si è optato per un tracciato curvo composto da una struttura portante in acciaio e rivestimenti in vetro su tutta altezza. La struttura della passerella con tracciato curvilineo prevede due travi scatolari composte da lamiere curve in acciaio FLA e FLB S235 di spessore 12mm irrigidite trasversalmente per la stabilità di forma e longitudinalmente per evitare imbozzamenti nei piatti compressi. La trave inferiore funge da pavimento per gli utilizzatori mentre quella superiore da copertura per le intemperie e riprende il carico della neve. Queste sono collegate per mezzo tiranti in acciaio (Ø=8mm) su entrambi i lati in modo da far lavorare ambedue le travi per le diverse composizioni di carico. Sugli appoggi le travi sono unite per mezzo di due portali molto rigidi che fungono da incastro diminuendo i momenti flettenti e quindi le deformazioni a centro campata. Il rivestimento realizzato con vetri doppi curvilinei sono fissati alla trave inferiore. Questi sono composti da un vetro strutturale esterno temprato da 10mm di spessore, un’intercapedine d’aria di 24mm e 2x6mm di vetro stratificato contenente una pellicola PVB di sicurezza.

description: I materiali didattici quotidianamente utilizzati a scuola, oltre che a comprendere tutta una serie di contenuti disciplinari, presentano al loro interno delle rappresentazioni culturali e sociali che possono influenzare le percezioni di allievi e docenti. Questo studio si pone come obiettivo quello di raccogliere gli atteggiamenti dei docenti della scuola elementare in merito alla rappresentazione della disabilità all’interno dei libri di testo e dei materiali didattici e di considerarli per un’eventuale realizzazione di materiali a sfondo inclusivo. Per poter procedere con l’indagine si è optato per un disegno di ricerca con metodo misto che prevede la combinazione di approcci metodologici di tipo quantitativo e qualitativo. Nella prima parte dello studio è stato somministrato un questionario ai docenti operativi nelle scuole elementari ticinesi. In una seconda fase della ricerca è stato condotto un focus group durante il quale sono state raccolte le considerazioni di alcuni docenti della Scuola elementare di Bellinzona Nord legate alla rappresentazione della disabilità e di altre realtà sociali nei materiali scolastici. In generale i docenti ticinesi manifestano degli atteggiamenti positivi nei confronti della rappresentazione della disabilità nei materiali scolastici e si dimostrano favorevoli all’utilizzo di questi in un futuro prossimo. Tuttavia, gli insegnanti riflettono sul ruolo dell’istituzione scolastica nella creazione e promozione di materiali a sfondo inclusivo. Relatrice: Angela Pasqualotto.

description: We consider discrete analogues of fractional Radon transforms involving integration over paraboloids defined by positive definite quadratic forms. We prove that such discrete operators extend to bounded operators from $\ell^p$ to $\ell^q$ for a certain family of kernels. The method involves an intricate spectral decomposition according to major and minor arcs, motivated by ideas from the circle method of Hardy and Littlewood. Techniques from harmonic analysis, in particular Fourier transform methods and oscillatory integrals, as well as the number theoretic structure of quadratic forms, exponential sums, and theta functions, play key roles in the proof.

description: The recently published first measurement of charged hadron multiplicity density at mid-rapidity $dN_{ch}/dη=1584 \pm 4 ({\rm stat.}) \pm 76 ({\rm sys.})$ in central $Pb+Pb$ collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 2.76$ TeV by the ALICE Experiment at LHC is in good agreement with the HIJING2.0 prediction within the experimental errors and theoretical uncertainties. The new data point is used to carry out a combined fit together with the RHIC data to reduce the uncertainty in the gluon shadowing parameter $s_{g}$ which controls the overall magnitude of gluon shadowing at small fractional momentum $x$ in HIJING2.0 model. Predictions on the centrality dependence of charged hadron multiplicity density at mid-rapidity with reduced uncertainty are given for $Pb+Pb$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=2.76$ and 5.5 TeV. The centrality dependence is surprisingly independent of the colliding energy as compared to RHIC energy for most of centralities starting at $N_{\rm part}=50$ (100) at $\sqrt{s}=2.76$ (7) TeV. However, it becomes stronger in peripheral collisions at higher colliding energies.

description: To clarify the short- and long-term validity of pancreatoduodenectomy in octogenarian patients with biliary tract carcinoma. We compared 23 and 141 patients aged ≥80 and <80 years, who underwent pancreatoduodenectomy for biliary tract carcinoma (distal cholangiocarcinomas and ampullary carcinomas) and evaluated the relationship between age, clinicopathological factors, and surgical and oncological outcomes, especially in terms of recurrence. Median overall survival time of distal cholangiocarcinoma and ampullary carcinoma was 92 and 109 months (p = 0.13). Postoperative complications, mortality, and adjuvant chemotherapy rates did not differ between the groups. Although the 5-year recurrence-free survival rate was similar, the 5-year disease-specific survival and overall survival rate were significantly shorter in octogenarians (≥80 years: 43.5, 47.1, and 35.3%; <80 years: 54.1, 69.2, and 63.0%; p = 0.41, 0.016, and 0.034, respectively). The median time from recurrence to death for octogenarian patients was significantly shorter than that of younger patients (3.3 vs. 16.1 months, p < 0.001). At recurrence, the serum albumin level, prognostic nutritional index, controlling nutritional status score, and treatment rate for recurrence were lower in octogenarians. The multivariate analysis identified age ≥80 years (hazard ratio: 3.8), low prognostic nutritional index (hazard ratio: 2.9), high serum carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (hazard ratio: 2.6), and failure to implement treatment after recurrence (hazard ratio: 3.0) as independent risk factors for a short time from recurrence to death. Furthermore, age ≥80 years (odds ratio 0.09) was an independent risk factor for treatment implementation after recurrence. Octogenarians had a shorter survival time after recurrence, resulting from low nutritional indices and a reduced rate of treatment implementation at the time of recurrence.
Quantitative reliability of Migdal-Eliashberg theory for strong electron-phonon coupling

description: We reassess the validity of Migdal-Eliashberg (ME) theory for coupled electron-phonon systems for large couplings $λ$. Although model calculations have found that ME theory breaks down for $λ\sim 0.5$, it is routinely applied for $λ>1$ to strong coupling superconductors. To resolve this discrepancy it is important to distinguish between {\em bare} parameters, used as input in models, and {\em effective} parameters, derived from experiments. We show explicitly that ME gives accurate results for the critical temperature and the spectral gap for large effective $λ$. This provides quantitative theoretical support for the applicability of ME theory to strong coupling conventional superconductors.

title: Homeostatic Urban Morphologies: An Evolutionary Model to Generate Urban Morphologies With Embedded Homeostatic Behaviours
Creators: name: Showkatbakhsh, Milad
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2021

description: The ambition of this research is to abstract principles of homeostasis and its connection to the evolutionary development of natural systems to define and develop a set of experiments to produce a computational design engine that generates testable mathematical models with a specified degree of mutability, or adaptation to differing circumstances or environments. The abstracted principles are utilised to evolve a set of urban tissues with the focus on the environmental behaviours of their interstitial spaces across a range of temporal and spatial domains and is complemented with the conceptual and computationally simulated designs, evaluations and principles of implementation. Although biomimicry has been established for many decades and has made significant contributions to engineering and architecture, homeostasis has rarely been part of this field of research. As discussed in the difference between the revised and original editions of Steadman, 1979 ‘The Evolution of Designs: Biological Analogy in Architecture and Applied Arts’, the idea of nature from formal metaphor has changed to a repository of interconnected dynamic processes available to be investigated and simulated. Seeking deeper insights into the natural systems and processes has sped up in the past two decades due to environmental emergencies. There is a growing confidence that the application of principles of natural systems and processes in architectural design processes can facilitate a better conformity between architecture and nature. Homeostasis is the term for the biological processes by which individual beings and collectives maintain a steady state in their environment, and there is a wide range of morphological and behavioural traits across multiple species that are rooted in their homeostatic behaviours. These morphological characteristics are governed by homeostasis and evolutionary developmental processes. To examine and reflect on the interrelations of forms, these processes, and behaviours can yield useful strategies for computational urban design methodologies that require significant environmental performance enhancements.

description: As the target of therapy in Ulcerative colitis (UC) has changed from symptomatic relief to mucosal healing, endoscopic visualization is mandatory. Colon capsule endoscopy (CCE) may serve as a less invasive and more tolerable alternative to standard colonoscopy (SC) for the monitoring of UC. To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy, adverse events and tolerability for CCE compared to SC. Systematic review. A systematic literature search was conducted in PubMed, Embase and Web of Science. Search results were imported into Covidence and screened. Included studies underwent risk of bias assessment using Methodological Index for Non-Randomized Studies (MINORS), and relevant data, including completeness of the procedure, type of bowel preparation and adverse events, was extracted. Pooled estimates of diagnostic accuracy were calculated from the studies providing the necessary data. Out of 2804 articles, six studies were eligible for inclusion. Three provided the necessary data to calculate pooled estimates of diagnostic accuracy in recognizing mucosal inflammation: pooled sensitivity of 93%, specificity of 68.8%, positive predictive value of 89.4%, and negative predictive value of 78.6%. The adverse events, such as nausea and abdominal distension, were predominantly related to bowel preparation regimens. CCE has the potential for monitoring UC. However, the specificity and NPV must be improved. Bowel preparation regimens must be optimized to improve patient experience and the effectiveness of CCE. Prospero ID CRD42023450210.

description: Domestic cattle were brought to Spain by early settlers and agricultural societies. Due to missing Neolithic sites in the Spanish region of Galicia, very little is known about this process in this region. We sampled 18 cattle subfossils from different ages and different mountain caves in Galicia, of which 11 were subject to sequencing of the mitochondrial genome and phylogenetic analysis, to provide insight into the introduction of cattle to this region. We detected high similarity between samples from different time periods and were able to compare the time frame of the first domesticated cattle in Galicia to data from the connecting region of Cantabria to show a plausible connection between the Neolithization of these two regions. Our data shows a close relationship of the early domesticated cattle of Galicia and modern cow breeds and gives a general insight into cattle phylogeny. We conclude that settlers migrated to this region of Spain from Europe and introduced common European breeds to Galicia.

description: HR 7409 (7 Vul) is a newly identified Be star possibly part of the Gould Belt and is the massive component of a 69-day spectroscopic binary. The binary parameters and properties of the Be star measured using high-dispersion spectra obtained at Ondrejov Observatory and at Rozhen Observatory imply the presence of a low mass companion (~ 0.5-0.8 M_sun). If the pair is relatively young (<50-80 Myr), then the companion is a K V star, but, following another, older evolutionary scenario, the companion is a horizontal-branch star or possibly a white dwarf star. In the latter scenario, a past episode of mass transfer from an evolved star onto a less massive dwarf star would be responsible for the peculiar nature of the present-day, fast-rotating Be star.

description: Charities typically ask potential donors repeatedly for a donation. These repeated requests might trigger avoidance behavior. Considering that, this paper analyzes the impact of offering an ask avoidance option on charitable giving. In a proposed utility framework, the avoidance option decreases the social pressure to donate. At the same time, it induces feelings of gratitude toward the fundraiser, which may lead to a reciprocal increase in donations. The results of a lab experiment designed to disentangle the two channels show no negative impact of the option to avoid repeated asking on donations. Instead, the full model indicates a positive impact of the reciprocity channel. This finding suggests that it might be beneficial for charities to introduce an ask avoidance option during high-frequency fundraising campaigns.

description: One of the interesting properties of the NMSSM is that it can accommodate a light pseudoscalar of order 10 GeV. However, such scenarios are challenged by several experimental constraints, especially those related to the fermionic decays of the pseudoscalar. In this Letter, we extend the NMSSM field content by two gauge singlets, with lepton numbers +1 and -1. This serves the twin purpose of generating neutrino masses via the inverse see-saw mechanism and keeping the option of a very light pseudoscalar experimentally viable by opening dominant invisible decay channels of the pseudoscalar which help it evade the existing bounds.
