description: We develop a novel procedure for constructing confidence bands for components of a sparse additive model. Our procedure is based on a new kernel-sieve hybrid estimator that combines two most popular nonparametric estimation methods in the literature, the kernel regression and the spline method, and is of interest in its own right. Existing methods for fitting sparse additive model are primarily based on sieve estimators, while the literature on confidence bands for nonparametric models are primarily based upon kernel or local polynomial estimators. Our kernel-sieve hybrid estimator combines the best of both worlds and allows us to provide a simple procedure for constructing confidence bands in high-dimensional sparse additive models. We prove that the confidence bands are asymptotically honest by studying approximation with a Gaussian process. Thorough numerical results on both synthetic data and real-world neuroscience data are provided to demonstrate the efficacy of the theory.

description: Decentralized intersection control techniques have received attention in the literature as tools that address scalability issues of network intersection control. Chief among these techniques are backpressure (BP) control algorithms, which were originally developed of for large wireless networks. In addition to being light-weight computationally, they come with guarantees of performance at the network level, specifically network-wide stability. The dynamics in backpressure control are represented using networks of point queues and this also applies to all of the applications to traffic control. As such, BP in traffic fail to capture the spatial distribution of vehicles along the intersection links and, consequently, spill-back dynamics. This paper derives a position weighted backpressure (PWBP) control policy for network traffic applying continuum modeling principles of traffic dynamics and thus capture the spatial distribution of vehicles along network roads and spill-back dynamics. PWBP inherits the computational advantages of traditional BP. To prove stability of PWBP, (i) a Lyapunov functional that captures the spatial distribution of vehicles is developed; (ii) the capacity region of the network is formally defined in the context of macroscopic network traffic; and (iii) it is proved, when exogenous arrival rates are within the capacity region, that PWBP control is network stabilizing. We conduct comparisons against a real-world adaptive control implementation for an isolated intersection. Comparisons are also performed against other BP approaches in addition to optimized fixed timing control at the network level. These experiments demonstrate the superiority of PWBP over the other control policies in terms of capacity region, network-wide delay, congestion propagation speed, recoverability from heavy congestion (outside of the capacity region), and response to incidents.

description: Strategies to improve retinal progenitor cell (RPC) capacity to yield proliferative and multipotent pools of cells that can efficiently differentiate into retinal neurons, including photoreceptors, could be vital for cell therapy in retinal degenerative diseases. In this study, we found that insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) plays a role in the regulation of proliferation and differentiation of RPCs. Our results show that IGF-1 promotes RPC proliferation via IGF-1 receptors (IGF-1Rs), stimulating increased phosphorylation in the PI3K/Akt and MAPK/Erk pathways. An inhibitor experiment revealed that IGF-1-induced RPC proliferation was inhibited when the PI3K/Akt and MAPK/Erk pathways were blocked. Furthermore, under the condition of differentiation, IGF-1-pretreated RPCs prefer to differentiate into retinal neurons, including photoreceptors, in vitro, which is crucial for visual formation and visual restoration. These results demonstrate that IGF-1 accelerates the proliferation of RPCs and IGF-1 pretreated RPCs may have shown an increased potential for retinal neuron differentiation, providing a novel strategy for regulating the proliferation and differentiation of retinal progenitors in vitro and shedding light upon the application of RPCs in retinal cell therapy.

description: Network data appears in very diverse applications, like biological, social, or sensor networks. Clustering of network nodes into categories or communities has thus become a very common task in machine learning and data mining. Network data comes with some information about the network edges. In some cases, this network information can even be given with multiple views or multiple layers, each one representing a different type of relationship between the network nodes. Increasingly often, network nodes also carry a feature vector. We propose in this paper to extend the node clustering problem, that commonly considers only the network information, to a problem where both the network information and the node features are considered together for learning a clustering-friendly representation of the feature space. Specifically, we design a generic two-step algorithm for multilayer network data clustering. The first step aggregates the different layers of network information into a graph representation given by the geometric mean of the network Laplacian matrices. The second step uses a neural net to learn a feature embedding that is consistent with the structure given by the network layers. We propose a novel algorithm for efficiently training the neural net via stochastic gradient descent, which encourages the neural net outputs to span the leading eigenvectors of the aggregated Laplacian matrix, in order to capture the pairwise interactions on the network, and provide a clustering-friendly representation of the feature space. We demonstrate with an extensive set of experiments on synthetic and real datasets that our method leads to a significant improvement w.r.t. state-of-the-art multilayer graph clustering algorithms, as it judiciously combines nodes features and network information in the node embedding algorithms.

We present analytical and numerical results for the alignment polarization and its polar angle dependence. We discuss in some detail the zero-mass limit of our results and the role of the anomalous spin-flip contributions to the polarization observables in the zero-mass limit. Our discussion includes transverse and longitudinal beam polarization effects.

At a temperature of 2 Tc we found strong evidence for dimensional reduction in the non-perturbative spectrum of screening masses. Mass ratios in the high temperature SU(3) theory are consistent with those in the pure gauge theory in three dimensions. At the first order SU(3) phase transition we report the first measurement of the true scalar screening mass.

description: We study a harmonically confined Bose-Bose mixture using quantum Monte Carlo methods. Our results for the density profiles are systematically compared with mean-field predictions derived through the Gross-Pitaevskii equation in the same conditions. The phase space as a function of the interaction strengths and the relation between masses is quite rich. The miscibility criterion for the homogeneous system applies rather well to the system, with some discrepancies close to the critical line for separation. We observe significant differences between the mean-field results and the Monte Carlo ones, that magnify when the asymmetry between masses increases. In the analyzed interaction regime, we observe universality of our results which extend beyond the applicability regime for the Gross-Pitaevskii equation.

 Current name:  Orlaya grandiflora  (L.) Hoffm. (Apiaceae).
 Note: There have been difficulties in the application of this name and Heywood (in Agron. Lusit. 22: 13. 1960) discussed the various elements and concluded that the name should be rejected as a nomen ambiguum, taking up Orlaya kochii Heyw. instead. However, no formal proposal has ever been made. Fernandes (in Bol. Soc. Broc., sér. 2, 41: 398. 1967) typified the name on a Linnaean collection in S, identifiable as O. grandiflora (L.) Hoffm., into the synonymy of which C. daucoides would consequently fall. Greuter (in Boissiera 13: 93. 1967) designated a neotype for the name, which would have made O. daucoides (L.) Greuter the correct name for what has been called O. platycarpos auett. However, this neotypification is invalid as original material for the name is in existence (Art. 9.11). Nevertheless, what is clear is that C. daucoides, the generitype of Caucalis, is identified with the genus Orlaya Hoffm. (1814) which it pre-dates. Both generic names are in use and priority would dictate that Caucalis should therefore replace Orlaya, with Nigera Bubani (1899) apparently the next available name for Caucalis. Proposing C. platycarpos as the conserved type of Caucalis could stabilise the application of the two generic names involved.

description: The field of quantum information has matured and various protocols implementing a quantum computer are being pursued. Most similar to a classical computer is the circuit model. In 2007 Aharonov et al. showed the equivalence between the circuit model and a quantum annealer, and with this proofed the universality of quantum annealing. Here the system starts in an easily preparable ground state and evolves adiabatically to a final ground state which yields the solution of the computational problem. However, equivalence with the circuit model requires multi-local interactions, i.e. interaction terms involving more than two subsystems. Natural interactions are only two-local, hence the construction or simulation of higher order couplers is indispensable for a universal quantum annealer. Also, four-local couplers allow compact implementation of error correction with the Bacon-Shor code. Four-local interactions can further serve as a tool for basic research. Here we show that in a specific flux qubit coupler design without ancilla qubits, four body interactions are induced by virtual coupler excitations. For specific parameter regimes they are even the leading effect and can be tuned up to the GHz range.

In the case when $M$ is a connected unimodular Lie group $\mathbb G$, which has polynomial volume growth, we obtain a critical Fujita exponent, namely, we prove that all solutions of the Cauchy problem with $u_{0}\not\equiv 0$, blow up in finite time if and only if $10$, we also show that the differential inequality $$ u_{t}-\mathfrak{L}_{M} u\geq f(u) $$ does not admit any nontrivial distributional (a function $u\in L^{p}_{loc}(Q)$ which satisfies the differential inequality in $\mathcal{D}^{\prime}(Q)$) solution $u\geq 0$ in $Q:=(0,\infty)\times\mathbb G$. Furthermore, in the case when $\mathbb G$ has exponential volume growth and $f:[0,\infty)\to[0,\infty)$ is a continuous increasing function such that $f(u)\leq K_{1}u^{p}$ for some $K_{1}>0$, we prove that the Cauchy problem has a global, classical solution for $1

description: In the framework of the recently proposed QCD based parton model for the cumulative phenomena in the interactions with nuclei two mechanisms for particle production, direct and spectator ones, are analysed. It is shown that due to final state interactions the leading terms of the direct mechanism contribution are cancelled and the spectator mechanism is the dominant one. It leads to a smaller slope of the cumulative particle production rates compared to the slope of the nuclear structure function in the cumulative region $x>1$, in agreement with the recent experimental data.

The aim of this work was to synthesise 3-aminobutan-2-ol, a chiral amino alcohol, from acetoin using Class III aminotransferases from the thermophilic organisms Thermotoga maritima (Tmar) and Geobacillus stearothermophilus (Gste). Candidate transaminase (TAms) genes were expressed in Escherichia coli (E.coli), purified using affinity chromatography, and the pyridoxal phosphate (PLP) enzyme cofactor was re-incorporated using a refolding approach. The purified enzymes were then shown to be active using HPLC approaches reaching a reaction yield of 0.512% and 0.379% for TAms from Tmar and Gste, respectively. This work paves the way for 3-aminobutan-2-ol production in bacterial species that can be grown in bulk on low value feedstocks for a reduction in costs, whilst possibly offering an efficient and highly selective alternative for chiral amino alcohol synthesis.

description: We study the effect of inclination on the apparent brightness of star-forming galaxies in spectral passbands that are commonly used as star-formation indicators. As diagnostics we use mass-to-light ratios in three passbands: the UV continuum at 280 nm, the H$α$ emission line, and the FIR 24$μ$-band. We include a study of inclination trends in the IR/UV ratio ("IRX") and the IR/H$α$ ratio. Our sample comprises a few hundred galaxies from the region around the clusters Abell 901/902 with deep data and inclinations measured from outer disks in Hubble Space Telescope images. As a novelty, the H$α$- and separately the NII-emission are measured by tunable-filter imaging and encompass galaxies in their entirety. At galaxy stellar masses above log $M_*/M_\odot > 10$ we find trends in the UV and H$α$ mass-to-light ratio that suggest an inclination-induced attenuation from face-on to edge-on of $\sim 1$ mag and $\sim 0.7$ mag in UV and H$α$, respectively, implying that star-formation rates of edge-on galaxies would be underestimated by $\sim 2.5\times$ in UV and $\sim 2\times$ in H$α$. We find the luminosities in UV and H$α$ to be well correlated, but the optical depth of diffuse dust that causes inclination dependence appears to be lower for stars emitting at 280 nm than for gas clouds emitting Balmer lines. For galaxies with log $M_*/M_\odot < 9.7$, we find no measurable effect at $>0.1$ mag. The absence of an inclination dependence at 24$μ$ confirms that the average galaxy is optically thin in the FIR.

description: The article examines the relationship between the UK and the EU after Russia’s aggression of Ukraine, discussing options to deepen cooperation post-Brexit. The article outlines the current framework of EU-UK relations, emphasizing the limited partnership in place today under the Trade & Cooperation Agreement (TCA). It then highlights the possibilities offered by the TCA review, mandated in 2026, to expand bilateral relations. Moreover, the article maps broader developments occurring in the European institutional landscape following the war in Ukraine, including the establishment of the European Political Community and the renewal of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and the Council of Europe, and discusses how they create new opportunities for the UK  to reconnect with the EU. Finally, the article considers how transformations in the EU constitutional framework, and the process of enlargement to Ukraine, impact on European integration, with possible consequences for the position of the UK.

description: Decaying Dark Energy models modify the background evolution of the most common observables, such as the Hubble function, the luminosity distance and the Cosmic Microwave Background temperature-redshift scaling relation. We use the most recent observationally-determined datasets, including Supernovae Type Ia and Gamma Ray Bursts data, along with $H(z)$ and Cosmic Microwave Background temperature versus $z$ data and the reduced Cosmic Microwave Background parameters, to improve the previous constraints on these models. We perform a Monte Carlo Markov Chain analysis to constrain the parameter space, on the basis of two distinct methods. In view of the first method, the Hubble constant and the matter density are left to vary freely. In this case, our results are compatible with previous analyses associated with decaying Dark Energy models, as well as with the most recent description of the cosmological background. In view of the second method, we set the Hubble constant and the matter density to their best fit values obtained by the {\it Planck} satellite, reducing the parameter space to two dimensions, and improving the existent constraints on the model's parameters. Our results suggest that the accelerated expansion of the Universe is well described by the cosmological constant, and we argue that forthcoming observations will play a determinant role to constrain/rule out decaying Dark Energy.

description: Quantum coherence was recently formalized as a physical resource to measure the strength of superposition. Based on the resource theory, we present a systematic framework that connects a coherence measure to the security of quantum key distribution. By considering a generic entanglement-based key distribution protocol under the collective attack scenario, we show that the key rate can be quantified by the coherence of the shared bipartite states. This framework allows us to derive the key rate of the BB84 and six-state protocols. By utilizing fine-grained parameters, we also derive the improved key rates of both protocols within the coherence-based framework. Furthermore, we apply it to a practical issue, detection efficiency mismatch, and obtain an improved result. In conclusion, this framework demonstrates the interplay among coherence, entanglement, and quantum key distribution at a fundamental level.

description: The human receptor tyrosine kinase c-Met plays an important role in the control of critical cellular processes. Since c-Met is frequently over expressed or deregulated in human malignancies, blocking its activation is of special interest for therapy. In normal conditions, the c-Met receptor is activated by its bivalent ligand hepatocyte growth factor (HGF). Also bivalent antibodies can activate the receptor by cross linking, limiting therapeutic applications. We report the generation of the RNA aptamer CLN64 containing 2’-fluoro pyrimidine modifications by systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX). CLN64 and a previously described single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) aptamer CLN3 exhibited high specificities and affinities to recombinant and cellular expressed c-Met. Both aptamers effectively inhibited HGF-dependent c-Met activation, signaling and cell migration. We showed that these aptamers did not induce c-Met activation, revealing an advantage over bivalent therapeutic molecules. Both aptamers were shown to bind overlapping epitopes but only CLN3 competed with HGF binding to cMet. In addition to their therapeutic and diagnostic potential, CLN3 and CLN64 aptamers exhibit valuable tools to further understand the structural and functional basis for c-Met activation or inhibition by synthetic ligands and their interplay with HGF binding.

description: The relentless pace of urbanization in China, accompanied by a surge in transportation infrastructure, has intensified the challenges of road traffic congestion. The concurrent development of urban underground facilities, particularly the rapid expansion of urban rail transit, has become a prominent aspect of addressing the escalating traffic concerns. By the close of 2020, an impressive 7,969.7 kilometers of rail transit operation lines were operational in 45 cities, with underground lines constituting a substantial 68.1% of the total length (Figure 1). As of 2021, this trend persisted, with subways commanding a remarkable 78.90% share in the urban rail and transportation operation lines across 9 systems. This paper aims to scrutinize the dynamic landscape of China's urban rail transit system, emphasizing the evolving role of underground lines in mitigating the challenges posed by increasing urbanization and transportation demands. The comprehensive analysis includes an exploration of the development trajectory, operational statistics, and the substantial contribution of subways to the overall urban transit network. The study delves into the implications of this substantial growth, considering the impact on urban mobility, environmental sustainability, and the broader urban landscape. The findings underscore the significance of underground rail transit in the Chinese urban context, not only as a solution to traffic congestion but also as a crucial component of sustainable urban development. As cities continue to grapple with the complexities of transportation management, understanding the patterns and implications of urban rail transit expansion becomes paramount for informed urban planning and policy decisions

description: We describe a solid state implementation of a quantum computer using ballistic single electrons as flying qubits in 1D nanowires. We show how to implement all the steps required for universal quantum computation: preparation of the initial state, measurement of the final state and a universal set of quantum gates. An important advantage of this model is the fact that we do not need ultrafast optoelectronics for gate operations. We use cold programming (or pre-programming), i.e., the gates are set before launching the electrons; all programming can be done using static electric fields only.
