description: Finding an intermediate-mass black hole (IMBH) in a globular cluster (GC), or proving its absence, is a crucial ingredient in our understanding of galaxy formation and evolution. The challenge is to identify a unique signature of an IMBH that cannot be accounted for by other processes. Observational claims of IMBH detection are often based on analyses of the kinematics of stars, such as a rise in the velocity dispersion profile towards the centre. In this contribution we discuss the degeneracy between this IMBH signal and pressure anisotropy in the GC. We show that that by considering anisotropic models it is possible to partially explain the innermost shape of the projected velocity dispersion profile, even though models that do not account for an IMBH do not exhibit a cusp in the centre.

description: Objective This study aimed to examine the epidemiology of seizures, clinical outcomes, and antiseizure medication treatment patterns among seizure patients treated in United States hospitals.DesignA retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted using data from a large geographically diverse hospital discharge database.Setting860 acute care hospitals in the United States.ParticipantsPatients aged ≥18 years with an outpatient emergency department or inpatient visit between 1 July 2016–31 December 2019 were included. Intervention None. Main outcomes and measures Key outcomes included prevalence of seizure, seizure type, admission point of origin, intensive care unit admission, discharge status, and injectable antiseizure medication utilization. Seizures were identified by the International Classification of Disease, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification diagnosis codes. Results Among 36,598,627 unique emergency department outpatients (72,372,464 outpatient visits) and 16,543,592 unique inpatients (24,923,489 inpatient admissions) analyzed, seizure was present in 2.1% of outpatients (1.87% of outpatient visits) and 4.9% of inpatients (4.8% of inpatient admissions). In overall seizure patients, 49.1% were unclassified, 4.4% had generalized onset, 2.9% had focal onset, and 42.8% were categorized as other (including 38.5% with convulsion). Among seizure-associated inpatient admissions, <1% were transferred directly from skilled nursing facility or other long-term care facilities but 22.7% were discharged to such facilities. Nearly a third (31%) of all inpatients were admitted to ICU. About 88.3% of patients with injectable ASM use had monotherapy, 4.6% had polytherapy with 1 day or multiple non-consecutive days of overlap, and 7.0% had polytherapy with ≥2 consecutive days of overlap. The percentage of patients with no step down to any oral ASM ranged between 34.0–57.0%. Conclusions Seizures affect a substantial number of hospital-based emergency department outpatient and inpatient encounters and are associated with poor clinical outcomes and significant healthcare burden. Concomitant use of injectable ASMs is uncommon and a high percentage of IV ASM users with a diagnosis of seizure had no step down to oral therapy.RelevanceThe study findings may inform clinicians and hospital decision makers about current clinical practice and burden of seizures and identify areas to improve overall outcomes for patients with seizures.

description: Walking speed is a useful surrogate for health status across the population. Walking speed appears to be governed in part by interlimb coordination between propulsive (FP) and braking (FB) forces generated during step-to-step transitions and is simultaneously optimized to minimize metabolic cost. Of those forces, FP generated during push-off has received significantly more attention as a contributor to walking performance. Our goal was to first establish empirical relations between FP and walking speed and then to quantify their effects on metabolic cost in young adults. To specifically address any link between FP and walking speed, we used a self-paced treadmill controller and real-time biofeedback to independently prescribe walking speed or FP across a range of condition intensities. Walking with larger and smaller FP led to instinctively faster and slower walking speeds, respectively, with ~80% of variance in walking speed explained by FP. We also found that comparable changes in either FP or walking speed elicited predictable and relatively uniform changes in metabolic cost, together explaining ~53% of the variance in net metabolic power and ~14% of the variance in cost of transport. These results provide empirical data in support of an interdependent relation between FP and walking speed, building confidence that interventions designed to increase FP will translate to improved walking speed. Repeating this protocol in other populations may identify other relations that could inform the time course of gait decline due to age and disease.

description: Since 1976, it is known from the paper by V. P. Belkin that the variety $\mathrm{RA_2}$ of right alternative metabelian (solvable of index 2) algebras over an arbitrary field is not Spechtian (contains non-finitely based subvarieties). In 2005, S. V. Pchelintsev proved that the variety generated by the Grassmann $\mathrm{RA_2}$-algebra of finite rank $r$ over a field $\mathcal{F}$, for $\mathrm{char}(\mathcal{F})\neq2$, is Spechtian iff $r=1$. We construct a non-finitely based variety $\mathfrak{M}$ generated by the Grassmann $\mathcal{V}$-algebra of rank $2$ of certain finitely based subvariety $\mathcal V\subset\mathrm{RA}_2$ over a field $\mathcal{F}$, for $\mathrm{char(\mathcal{F})}\neq2,3$, such that $\mathfrak{M}$ can also be generated by the Grassmann envelope of a five-dimensional superalgebra with one-dimensional even part.

description: The ability to freely decide one’s number, spacing, and timing of children has been highlighted as a human right in international declarations and research, policy, and programmatic efforts in family planning. Accessing and using one’s preferred contraceptive method is also a crucial component of ensuring people’s reproductive autonomy or empowerment. The publication of the World Health Organization (WHO)’s updated Guidelines on Self-Care for Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) in 2019 highlighted that self-care interventions for SRHR might be particularly important in supporting people’s free, full, and informed-decision making. These guidelines underscore that while self-care may facilitate more individual control over one’s own reproductive health, these approaches are embedded within larger health systems. Therefore, self-care suggests a balance between supporting people’s autonomy as active participants in their own reproductive health decisions, while acknowledging that people may still desire support from healthcare providers. This balance is particularly important for people who may be marginalized, as a result of discriminatory gender norms or unequal power in families or intimate relationships, or gender and sexualminorities. Somemembers of these groupsmight welcome self-care to reduce exposure to less-supportive health systems, while others might appreciate more structured care.

description: Background Prenatal exposures to metallic and metalloid trace elements have been linked to altered immune function in animal studies, but few epidemiologic studies have investigated immunological effects in humans. We evaluated the risk of bacterial sepsis (an extreme immune response to bacterial infection) in relation to prenatal metal/metalloid exposures, individually and jointly, within a US-based cohort of infants born extremely preterm. Methods We analyzed data from 269 participants in the US-based ELGAN cohort, which enrolled infants delivered at <28 weeks' gestation (2002–2004). Concentrations of 8 trace elements—including 4 non-essential and 4 essential—were measured using inductively coupled plasma tandem mass spectrometry in umbilical cord tissue, reflecting in utero fetal exposures. The infants were followed from birth to postnatal day 28 with bacterial blood culture results reported weekly to detect sepsis. Discrete-time hazard and quantile g-computation models were fit to estimate associations for individual trace elements and their mixtures with sepsis incidence. Results Approximately 30% of the extremely preterm infants developed sepsis during the follow-up period (median follow-up: 2 weeks). After adjustment for potential confounders, no trace element was individually associated with sepsis risk. However, there was some evidence of a non-monotonic relationship for cadmium, with hazard ratios (HRs) for the second, third, and fourth (highest) quartiles being 1.13 (95% CI: 0.51–2.54), 1.94 (95% CI: 0.87–4.32), and 1.88 (95% CI: 0.90–3.93), respectively. The HRs for a quartile increase in concentrations of all 8 elements, all 4 non-essential elements, and all 4 essential elements were 0.92 (95% CI: 0.68–1.25), 1.19 (95% CI: 0.92–1.55), and 0.77 (95% CI: 0.57–1.06). Cadmium had the greatest positive contribution whereas arsenic, copper, and selenium had the greatest negative contributions to the mixture associations. Conclusions We found some evidence that greater prenatal exposure to cadmium was associated with an increased the risk of bacterial sepsis in extremely preterm infants. However, this risk was counteracted by a combination of arsenic, copper, and selenium. Future studies are needed to confirm these findings and to evaluate the potential for nutritional interventions to prevent sepsis in high-risk infants.

description: The adiabatic connection formalism, usually based on the first-order perturbation theory, has been generalized to an arbitrary order. The generalization stems from the observation that the formalism can be derived from a properly arranged Taylor expansion. The second-order theory is developed in detail and applied to the description of two electrons in a parabolic confinement (harmonium). A significant improvement relative to the first-order theory has been obtained.

description: We examine the role of the microwave power in the linear polarization angle dependence of the microwave radiation induced magnetoresistance oscillations observed in the high mobility GaAs/AlGaAs two dimensional electron system. Diagonal resistance $R_{xx}$ was measured at fixed magnetic fields corresponding to the photo-excited oscillatory extrema of $R_{xx}$ as a function of both the microwave power, $P$, and the linear polarization angle, $θ$. Color contour plots of such measurements demonstrate the evolution of the $R_{xx}$ versus $θ$ line shape with increasing microwave power. We report that the non-linear power dependence of the amplitude of the radiation-induced magnetoresistance oscillations distorts the cosine-square relation between $R_{xx}$ and $θ$ at high power.

description: In computational biology and bioinformatics, the manner to understand evolution processes within various related organisms paid a lot of attention these last decades. However, accurate methodologies are still needed to discover genes content evolution. In a previous work, two novel approaches based on sequence similarities and genes features have been proposed. More precisely, we proposed to use genes names, sequence similarities, or both, insured either from NCBI or from DOGMA annotation tools. Dogma has the advantage to be an up-to-date accurate automatic tool specifically designed for chloroplasts, whereas NCBI possesses high quality human curated genes (together with wrongly annotated ones). The key idea of the former proposal was to take the best from these two tools. However, the first proposal was limited by name variations and spelling errors on the NCBI side, leading to core trees of low quality. In this paper, these flaws are fixed by improving the comparison of NCBI and DOGMA results, and by relaxing constraints on gene names while adding a stage of post-validation on gene sequences. The two stages of similarity measures, on names and sequences, are thus proposed for sequence clustering. This improves results that can be obtained using either NCBI or DOGMA alone. Results obtained with this quality control test are further investigated and compared with previously released ones, on both computational and biological aspects, considering a set of 99 chloroplastic genomes.

description: HII regions play a crucial role in the measurement of the chemical composition of the interstellar medium and provide fundamental data about element abundances that constrain models of galactic chemical evolution. Discrepancies that still exist between observed emission line strengths and those predicted by nebular models can be partly attributed to the spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of the sources of ionizing radiation used in the models as well as simplifying assumptions made in nebular modeling. The influence of stellar metallicity on nebular line strength ratios, via its effect on the SEDs, is of similar importance as variations in the nebular metallicity. We have computed a grid of model atmosphere SEDs for massive and very massive O-type stars covering a range of metallicities from significantly subsolar (0.1 Zsun) to supersolar (2 Zsun). The SEDs have been computed using a state-of-the-art model atmosphere code that takes into account the attenuation of the ionizing flux by the spectral lines of all important elements and the hydrodynamics of the radiatively driven winds and their influence on the SEDs. For the assessment of the SEDs in nebular simulations we have developed a (heretofore not available) 3d radiative transfer code that includes a time-dependent treatment of the metal ionization. Using the SEDs in both 1d and 3d nebular models we explore the relative influence of stellar metallicity, gas metallicity, and inhomogeneity of the gas on the nebular ionization structure and emission line strengths. We find that stellar and gas metallicity are of similar importance for establishing the line strength ratios commonly used in nebular diagnostics, whereas inhomogeneity of the gas has only a subordinate influence on the global line emission.

description: The discovery of superconductivity in the quantum critical Kondo-lattice system YbRh2Si2 at an extremely low temperature of 2 mK has inspired efforts to perform high-resolution electrical resistivity measurements down to this temperature range in highly conductive materials. Here we show that control over the sample geometry by microstructuring using focused-ion-beam (FIB) techniques allows to reach ultra-low temperatures and increase signal-to-noise ratios (SNR) tenfold, without adverse effects to sample quality. In five experiments we show four-terminal sensing resistance and magnetoresistance measurements which exhibit sharp phase transitions at the Néel temperature, and Shubnikov-de-Haas (SdH) oscillations between 13 T and 18 T where we identified a new SdH frequency of 0.39 kT. The increased SNR allowed resistance fluctuation (noise) spectroscopy that would not be possible for bulk crystals, and confirmed intrinsic 1/f-type fluctuations. Under controlled strain, two thin microstructured samples exhibited a large increase of T_N from 67 mK up to 188 mK while still showing clear signatures of the phase transition and SdH oscillations. SQUID-based thermal noise spectroscopy measurements in a nuclear demagnetisation refrigerator down to 0.95 mK, show a sharp superconducting transition at T_c = 1.2 mK. These experiments demonstrate microstructuring as a powerful tool to investigate the resistance and the noise spectrum of highly conductive correlated metals over wide temperature ranges.

description: The torque motor is the most common technology used in electrohydraulic two-stage servovalves to drive the hydraulic pilot stage. As it is a key component in these valves, its performance considerably affects the overall performance of servovalve systems. Modeling accurately the magnetic behavior of the torque motor will help to get a more realistic performance of the servovalve at different operating conditions during the product design and development stage. In this paper, an advanced model of the torque motor is presented. The aim is to integrate it into the overall multiphysics model of the servovalve through a multi-variable function obtained using the proposed modeling tool. The advanced reluctance network model has been developed by progressively considering various magnetic phenomena, including flux leaks between different parts and variations in magnetic induction. This model allows rapid assessment of the magnetic performance at various operating temperatures or using different ferromagnetic materials, without the need for additional analysis in 3D finite element software.

description: Globally neutral neutron stars, obtained from the solution of the called Einstein-Maxwell-Thomas-Fermi equations that account for all the fundamental interactions, have been recently introduced. These configurations have a more general character than the ones obtained with the traditional Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff, which impose the condition of local charge neutrality. The resulting configurations have a less massive and thinner crust, leading to a new mass-radius relation. Signatures of this new structure of the neutron star on the thermal evolution might be a potential test for this theory. We compute the cooling curves by integrating numerically the energy balance and transport equations in general relativity, for globally neutral neutron stars with crusts of different masses and sizes, according to this theory for different core-crust transition interfaces. We compare and contrast our study with known results for local charge neutrality. We found a new behavior for the relaxation time, depending upon the density at the base of the crust, $ρ_{\rm crust}$. In particular, we find that the traditional increase of the relaxation time with the crust thickness holds only for configurations whose density of the base of the crust is greater than $\approx 5\times 10^{13}$ g cm$^{-3}$. The reason for this is that neutron star crusts with very thin or absent inner crust have some neutrino emission process blocked which keep the crust hotter for longer times. Therefore, accurate observations of the thermal relaxation phase of neutron stars might give crucial information on the core-crust transition which may aid us in probing the inner composition/structure of these objects.

description: Introduction Over 50,000 very low birth weight (VLBW) infants are born each year in the United States. Despite advances in care, these premature babies are subjected to long stays in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), and experience high rates of morbidity and mortality. In a large randomized controlled trial (RCT), heart rate characteristics (HRC) monitoring in addition to standard monitoring decreased all-cause mortality among VLBW infants by 22%. We sought to understand the cost-effectiveness of HRC monitoring to improve survival among VLBW infants. Methods We performed a secondary analysis of cost-effectiveness of heart rate characteristics (HRC) monitoring to improve survival from birth to NICU discharge, up to 120 days using data and outcomes from an RCT of 3,003 VLBW patients. We estimated each patient's cost from a third-party perspective in 2021 USD using the resource utilization data gathered during the RCT (NCT00307333) during their initial stay in the NICU and applied to specific per diem rates. We computed the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio and used non-parametric boot-strapping to evaluate uncertainty. Results The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of HRC-monitoring was $34,720 per life saved. The 95th percentile of cost to save one additional life through HRC-monitoring was $449,291. Conclusion HRC-monitoring appears cost-effective for increasing survival among VLBW infants.

description: A suggested model for quasi--periodic eruptions (QPEs) from galaxy nuclei invokes a white dwarf in an eccentric orbit about the central massive black hole. I point out that the extreme mass ratio allows the presence of strong Lindblad resonances in the accretion disc. These are important for the stability of mass transfer, and may trigger the eruptions themselves by rapidly transferring angular momentum from the accretion disc (which is likely to be eccentric itself) to the orbiting WD companion at pericentre. I consider the effects of von Zeipel--Lidov--Kozai (ZLK) cycles caused by a perturber on a more distant orbit about the central black hole. I show that ZLK cycles can change the orbital periods of QPE systems on timescales much shorter than the mass transfer time, as seen in ASASSN-14ko, and produce correlated short--term variations of their mass transfer rates and orbital periods, as recently observed in GSN~069. Further monitoring of these sources should constrain the parameters of any perturbing companions. This in turn may constrain the nature of the events creating QPE systems, and perhaps give major insights into how the central black holes in low--mass galaxies are able to grow.

description: Background Physical activity is known to improve mental health, and is regarded as safe and desirable for uncomplicated pregnancy. In this novel study, we aim to evaluate whether there are associations between maternal physical activity during pregnancy and neonatal brain cortical development. Methods Forty-four mother/newborn dyads were included in this longitudinal study. Healthy pregnant women were recruited and their physical activity throughout pregnancy were documented using accelerometers worn for 3–7 days for each of the 6 time points at 4–10, ∼12, ∼18, ∼24, ∼30, and ∼36 weeks of pregnancy. Average daily total steps and daily total activity count as well as daily minutes spent in sedentary/light/moderate/vigorous activity modes were extracted from the accelerometers for each time point. At ∼2 weeks of postnatal age, their newborns underwent an MRI examination of the brain without sedation, and 3D T1-weighted brain structural images were post-processed by the iBEAT2.0 software utilizing advanced deep learning approaches. Cortical surface maps were reconstructed from the segmented brain images and parcellated to 34 regions in each brain hemisphere, and mean cortical thickness for each region was computed for partial correlation analyses with physical activity measures, with appropriate multiple comparison corrections and potential confounders controlled.ResultsAt 4–10 weeks of pregnancy, mother’s daily total activity count positively correlated (FDR corrected P ≤ 0.05) with newborn’s cortical thickness in the left caudal middle frontal gyrus (rho = 0.48, P = 0.04), right medial orbital frontal gyrus (rho = 0.48, P = 0.04), and right transverse temporal gyrus (rho = 0.48, P = 0.04); mother’s daily time in moderate activity mode positively correlated with newborn’s cortical thickness in the right transverse temporal gyrus (rho = 0.53, P = 0.03). At ∼24 weeks of pregnancy, mother’s daily total activity count positively correlated (FDR corrected P ≤ 0.05) with newborn’s cortical thickness in the left (rho = 0.56, P = 0.02) and right isthmus cingulate gyrus (rho = 0.50, P = 0.05). Conclusion We identified significant relationships between physical activity in healthy pregnant women during the 1st and 2nd trimester and brain cortical development in newborns. Higher maternal physical activity level is associated with greater neonatal brain cortical thickness, presumably indicating better cortical development.

description: We propose pilot reuse (PR) in single cell for massive multiuser multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) transmission to reduce the pilot overhead. For spatially correlated Rayleigh fading channels, we establish a relationship between channel spatial correlations and channel power angle spectrum when the base station antenna number tends to infinity. With this channel model, we show that sum mean square error (MSE) of channel estimation can be minimized provided that channel angle of arrival intervals of the user terminals reusing the pilots are non-overlapping, which shows feasibility of PR over spatially correlated massive MIMO channels with constrained channel angular spreads. Regarding that channel estimation performance might degrade due to PR, we also develop the closed-form robust multiuser uplink receiver and downlink precoder that minimize sum MSE of signal detection, and reveal a duality between them. Subsequently, we investigate pilot scheduling, which determines the PR pattern, under two minimum MSE related criteria, and propose a low complexity pilot scheduling algorithm which relies on the channel statistics only. Simulation results show that the proposed PR scheme provides significant performance gains over the conventional orthogonal training scheme in terms of net spectral efficiency.

description: Ni-Mn-based Heusler alloys, in particular all-d-metal Ni(-Co)-Mn-Ti, are highly promising materials for energy-efficient solid-state refrigeration as large multicaloric effects can be achieved across their magnetostructural martensitic transformation. However, no comprehensive study on the crucially important transition entropy change $Δs_t$ exists so far for Ni(-Co)-Mn-Ti. Here, we present a systematic study analyzing the composition and temperature dependence of $Δs_t$. Our results reveal a substantial structural entropy change contribution of approximately 65 J(kgK)$^{-1}$, which is compensated at lower temperatures by an increasingly negative entropy change associated with the magnetic subsystem. This leads to compensation temperatures $T_{comp}$ of 75 K and 300 K in Ni$_{35}$Co$_{15}$Mn$_{50-y}$Ti$_{y}$ and Ni$_{33}$Co$_{17}$Mn$_{50-y}$Ti$_{y}$, respectively, below which the martensitic transformations are arrested. In addition, we simultaneously measured the responses of the magnetic, structural and electronic subsystems to the temperature- and field-induced martensitic transformation near $T_{comp}$, showing an abnormal increase of hysteresis and consequently dissipation energy at cryogenic temperatures. Simultaneous measurements of magnetization and adiabatic temperature change $ΔT_{ad}$ in pulsed magnetic fields reveal a change in sign of $ΔT_{ad}$ and a substantial positive and irreversible $ΔT_{ad}$ up to 15 K at 15 K as a consequence of increased dissipation losses and decreased heat capacity. Most importantly, this phenomenon is universal, it applies to any first-order material with non-negligible hysteresis and any stimulus, effectively limiting the utilization of their caloric effects for gas liquefaction at cryogenic temperatures.

description: Running multiple deep neural networks (DNNs) in parallel has become an emerging workload in both edge devices, such as mobile phones where multiple tasks serve a single user for daily activities, and data centers, where various requests are raised from millions of users, as seen with large language models. To reduce the costly computational and memory requirements of these workloads, various efficient sparsification approaches have been introduced, resulting in widespread sparsity across different types of DNN models. In this context, there is an emerging need for scheduling sparse multi-DNN workloads, a problem that is largely unexplored in previous literature. This paper systematically analyses the use-cases of multiple sparse DNNs and investigates the opportunities for optimizations. Based on these findings, we propose Dysta, a novel bi-level dynamic and static scheduler that utilizes both static sparsity patterns and dynamic sparsity information for the sparse multi-DNN scheduling. Both static and dynamic components of Dysta are jointly designed at the software and hardware levels, respectively, to improve and refine the scheduling approach. To facilitate future progress in the study of this class of workloads, we construct a public benchmark that contains sparse multi-DNN workloads across different deployment scenarios, spanning from mobile phones and AR/VR wearables to data centers. A comprehensive evaluation on the sparse multi-DNN benchmark demonstrates that our proposed approach outperforms the state-of-the-art methods with up to 10% decrease in latency constraint violation rate and nearly 4X reduction in average normalized turnaround time. Our artifacts and code are publicly available at: https://github.com/SamsungLabs/Sparse-Multi-DNN-Scheduling.

description: Sequencing of most Treponema pallidum genomes excludes repeat regions in tp0470 and the tp0433 gene, encoding the acidic repeat protein (arp). As a first step to understanding the evolution and function of these genes and the proteins they encode, we developed a protocol to nanopore sequence tp0470 and arp genes from 212 clinical samples collected from ten countries on six continents. Both tp0470 and arp repeat structures recapitulate the whole genome phylogeny, with subclade-specific patterns emerging. The number of tp0470 repeats is on average appears to be higher in Nichols-like clade strains than in SS14-like clade strains. Consistent with previous studies, we found that 14-repeat arp sequences predominate across both major clades, but the combination and order of repeat type varies among subclades, with many arp sequence variants limited to a single subclade. Although strains that were closely related by whole genome sequencing frequently had the same arp repeat length, this was not always the case. Structural modeling of TP0470 suggested that the eight residue repeats form an extended α-helix, predicted to be periplasmic. Modeling of the ARP revealed a C-terminal sporulation-related repeat (SPOR) domain, predicted to bind denuded peptidoglycan, with repeat regions possibly incorporated into a highly charged β-sheet. Outside of the repeats, all TP0470 and ARP amino acid sequences were identical. Together, our data, along with functional considerations, suggests that both TP0470 and ARP proteins may be involved in T. pallidum cell envelope remodeling and homeostasis, with their highly plastic repeat regions playing as-yet-undetermined roles.

description: In a number of papers, Y. Sternfeld investigated the problems of representation of continuous and bounded functions by linear superpositions. In particular, he proved that if such representation holds for continuous functions, then it holds for bounded functions. We consider the same problem without involving any topology and establish a rather practical necessary and sufficient condition for representability of an arbitrary function by linear superpositions. In particular, we show that if some representation by linear superpositions holds for continuous functions, then it holds for all functions. This will lead us to the analogue of the well-known Kolmogorov superposition theorem for multivariate functions on the $d$-dimensional unit cube.
