description: The recent results from the Fermilab muon $g-2$ experiment, as well as the persisting hints of lepton flavor universality violation in $B$-meson decays, present a very strong case for flavor-nonuniversal new physics beyond the Standard Model. We assert that a minimal $R$-parity violating supersymmetric scenario with relatively light third-generation sfermions (dubbed as 'RPV3') provides a natural, well-motivated framework for the simultaneous explanation of all flavor anomalies, while being consistent with a multitude of low-energy flavor constraints, as well as with limits from high-energy collider searches. We further propose complementary tests and distinct signatures of this scenario in the high-$p_T$ searches at current and future colliders. Specifically, we find that an sbottom in the mass range of 2-12 TeV accounts for $R_{D^{(*)}}$ and $R_{K^{(*)}}$ flavor anomalies and it only plays a minor role in the $(g-2)_μ$ anomaly, whereas a sneutrino with mass between 0.7-1 TeV is the dominant player for $(g-2)_μ$. In this context, we propose specific collider signatures of sbottom via its decays to $ \overline{ t}(t) μ^+ μ^-$, and of sneutrino pairs with their decays leading to a highly distinctive and spectacular four-muon final state, which can be used to completely probe the RPV3 parameter space of interest.

description: The writer began this study with three purposes in mind: ( 1 ) to better understand what impact man with his many cattle and sheep has had upon the open range of the Escalante area in southern Utah; (2) to determine what effect accelerated erosion and reduced forage of the open range has had upon the economy of the locality; and (3) to provide, if possible, some information which might be considered pertinent to the rehabilitation of this area, so scarred and ravaged from man's misuse of the land. The Upper Valley Allotment was chosen as the site where one could conduct such a study because plant succession there seemed current and many physical changes bad occurred. Many data were available in relation to this area. Forest Rangers of the U. S. Forest Service have long been aware of the overstocking of sheep and cattle within the area. The carrying capacity (as computed by the Forest Rangers) is still below the present number of stock grazing this range. The area of Potato Valley, now known as Escalante Valley, has for many years been of Keen interest to the geologist and the biologist. Its diversity in climate, physiography and natural habitat provides an unusual number of ecological niches in which both animal and plant forms have extended their range and evolved into new units or sub-species. To the ecologist and conservationist the area provides a challenge. To reconstruct in one's mind what must have been observed by such men as John Heaps, Rufus Liston, Tom Alvey, Joe Spencer, Filo Alien and other early cattle and sheep men as they made their way into this mountain meadow and benchland is rather difficult. But it is not difficult for the ecologist to visualize the devastating impact that man, with his uncontrolled numbers of sheep and cattle, has had upon the open range. Nowhere in the State has the abuse of the open range affected the people so critically as it has these people in the Escalante Valley; nowhere have the results of this abuse of the open range been so devastating to the cattle and sheep men as they have been in the community of Escalante, Utah.

description: The combination of two-dimensional Dirac surface states with s-wave superconductivity is expected to generate localized topological Majorana zero modes in vortex cores. Putative experimental signatures of these modes have been reported for heterostructures of proximitized topological insulators, iron-based superconductors or certain transition metal dichalcogenides. Despite these efforts, the Majorana nature of the observed excitation is still under debate. We propose to identify the presence of Majorana vortex modes using a nonlocal transport measurement protocol originally employed for one-dimensional settings. In the case of an isolated subgap state, the protocol provides a spatial map of the ratio of local charge- and probability-density which offers a clear distinction between Majorana and ordinary fermionic modes. We show that these distinctive features survive in the experimentally relevant case of hybridizing vortex core modes.

description: Research has continued to suggest high institutional costs of not accommodating work-life balance, and institutions of higher education are recognizing the importance of formally addressing these issues in the increasingly competitive labor market. However, there is concern whether faculty members 1) are actually aware of policies; 2) feel safe in using work-life policies, particularly if they perceive them to be contested 3) and actually use policies. The research surrounding flexible tenure policies has also indicated that policies that lack the support of administration and academic colleagues have the propensity to serve as catalysts for hostile or overt bias for faculty who opted to utilize these policies. This study aims to spotlight how the discursive framing of childbearing and caregiving within the ideologies of tenure may disrupt or sustain the status quo of the committed, productive, present, and collegial ideal tenure track faculty member. The results are framed within a critical feminist policy discourse analytical framework with particular attention paid to the social, historical, and political contexts of the academy, including assumptions about the ideal worker norms of the tenured professoriate within research institutions. The method for data collection and data analysis was situated within a critical feminist policy discourse framework. The historic structure of the tenure track has been positioned as inconducive to balance and life integration, particularly for women. The policy and individual level iv discourse constructed caregiving in a way that may prove problematic for both male and female faculty parents, and even more problematic for the (re)production of the ideal tenure faculty cultural model. Nonbirth mothers and fathers who serve as primary caregivers must document and attest to their role in order to be eligible for the benefit. Consequently, the framing of the policy problem against the rhetoric of women in the academy results in institutional policy solutions and practices that focused on one category of faculty (read: women).

description: Tracking and identifying athletes on the pitch holds a central role in collecting essential insights from the game, such as estimating the total distance covered by players or understanding team tactics. This tracking and identification process is crucial for reconstructing the game state, defined by the athletes' positions and identities on a 2D top-view of the pitch, (i.e. a minimap). However, reconstructing the game state from videos captured by a single camera is challenging. It requires understanding the position of the athletes and the viewpoint of the camera to localize and identify players within the field. In this work, we formalize the task of Game State Reconstruction and introduce SoccerNet-GSR, a novel Game State Reconstruction dataset focusing on football videos. SoccerNet-GSR is composed of 200 video sequences of 30 seconds, annotated with 9.37 million line points for pitch localization and camera calibration, as well as over 2.36 million athlete positions on the pitch with their respective role, team, and jersey number. Furthermore, we introduce GS-HOTA, a novel metric to evaluate game state reconstruction methods. Finally, we propose and release an end-to-end baseline for game state reconstruction, bootstrapping the research on this task. Our experiments show that GSR is a challenging novel task, which opens the field for future research. Our dataset and codebase are publicly available at https://github.com/SoccerNet/sn-gamestate.

description: Plasma membrane integrity is paramount to cell viability. The separation between the extra- and intracellular environment is established by the plasma membrane and the plethora of proteins embedded within it. Nutrients that are unable to freely diffuse across the plasma membrane must be transported. Transportation is a highly regulated process. The proteins that facilitate nutrient transport, plasma membrane nutrient transporters, are multispanning integral membrane proteins, which utilize the energy of ion gradients to transport nutrients into the cell. Metabolic demands of the cell regulate the abundance of plasma membrane nutrient transporters by influencing new protein synthesis or protein degradation. Appropriate downregulation and vacuole degradation of plasma membrane nutrient transporters is imperative to maintain cellular homeostasis. Downregulation of nutrient transporters has been observed both on a global, cellwide scale, targeting many different transporters congruently, and on a proteinspecific basis, resulting in a single transporter's downregulation. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, downregulation is facilitated by the E3 ubiquitin ligase Rsp5. For specific downregulation of a nutrient transporter to occur, Rsp5 must recognize the correct substrate before ubiquitin conjugation. How this is achieved is an open question in the field. Identification and subsequent downregulation of damaged cell surface nutrient transporters require Rsp5 to properly distinguish between a damaged and nondamaged protein. It has been observed that Fur4, the high affinity uracil transporter, is efficiently downregulated in response to both peroxide and heat stress, but the underlying mechanism was unknown. Utilizing the crystal structure of Mhp1, a bacterial homolog of Fur4, an intrinsic protein-fold sensing domain was identified and termed the Loop Interaction Domain (LID). Through extensive mutational analysis, it was discovered that the LID of Fur4 functions as a built-in chaperone: The LID directly relays the folded status of Fur4 to the ubiquitin machinery of the cell by exposure or sequestration of a degron. The data presented here resulted with the discovery of the LID-degron mode of degradation, which is a conformational model explaining both quality control and substrate-dependent downregulation and how Rsp5 is able to identify specific substrates.

description: Detection transformers have recently shown promising object detection results and attracted increasing attention. However, how to develop effective domain adaptation techniques to improve its cross-domain performance remains unexplored and unclear. In this paper, we delve into this topic and empirically find that direct feature distribution alignment on the CNN backbone only brings limited improvements, as it does not guarantee domain-invariant sequence features in the transformer for prediction. To address this issue, we propose a novel Sequence Feature Alignment (SFA) method that is specially designed for the adaptation of detection transformers. Technically, SFA consists of a domain query-based feature alignment (DQFA) module and a token-wise feature alignment (TDA) module. In DQFA, a novel domain query is used to aggregate and align global context from the token sequence of both domains. DQFA reduces the domain discrepancy in global feature representations and object relations when deploying in the transformer encoder and decoder, respectively. Meanwhile, TDA aligns token features in the sequence from both domains, which reduces the domain gaps in local and instance-level feature representations in the transformer encoder and decoder, respectively. Besides, a novel bipartite matching consistency loss is proposed to enhance the feature discriminability for robust object detection. Experiments on three challenging benchmarks show that SFA outperforms state-of-the-art domain adaptive object detection methods. Code has been made available at: https://github.com/encounter1997/SFA.

description: A pressing issue in the adoption of AI models is the increasing demand for more human-centric explanations of their predictions. To advance towards more human-centric explanations, understanding how humans produce and select explanations has been beneficial. In this work, inspired by insights of human cognition we propose and test the incorporation of two novel biases to enhance the search for effective counterfactual explanations. Central to our methodology is the application of diffusion distance, which emphasizes data connectivity and actionability in the search for feasible counterfactual explanations. In particular, diffusion distance effectively weights more those points that are more interconnected by numerous short-length paths. This approach brings closely connected points nearer to each other, identifying a feasible path between them. We also introduce a directional coherence term that allows the expression of a preference for the alignment between the joint and marginal directional changes in feature space to reach a counterfactual. This term enables the generation of counterfactual explanations that align with a set of marginal predictions based on expectations of how the outcome of the model varies by changing one feature at a time. We evaluate our method, named Coherent Directional Counterfactual Explainer (CoDiCE), and the impact of the two novel biases against existing methods such as DiCE, FACE, Prototypes, and Growing Spheres. Through a series of ablation experiments on both synthetic and real datasets with continuous and mixed-type features, we demonstrate the effectiveness of our method.

Purification and properties of riboflavin synthetase from yeast

Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2012
Subjects: Vitamin B2

description: Riboflavin synthetase has been purified approximately 2,500-fold from extracts of dried backer's years.  The purified protein exhibited a sedimentation constant of 4.3 in the analytical ultracentrifuge and the molecular weight has been estimated to be 70,000 to 80,000.  The apparent Michaelis constant, Km, and the turnover number for the enzyme were estimated to be 1.0 x 10(-5)M and 12 moles riboflavin/mole enzyme/minute at 37?, respectively.  A kinetic analysis of the reaction was found to be consistent with a mechanism involving two non-equivalent sites, one binding the 6,7-dimethyl-8-ribityllumazine molecule serving as the donor of the four-carbon moiety transferred in the riboflavin synthetase reaction, the other site binding the lumazine that accept the four-carbon fragment.  This reaction model was supported by studies showing that stable, stoichiometric complexes of enzyme and substrate,  or of enzyme and inhibitor, could be isolated by Sephadex chromatography.  These complexes were estimated to contain one mole of bound material per mole of enzyme, and in the case of 6,7-dimethyl-8-ribityllumazine and 6,7-dimethyl-8-(5'-deoxyribityl)lumazine it was demonstrated that binding occurred exclusively at the donor site of enzyme.  Fluorescent polarization experiments have provided evidence for the existence of a ternary complex between the enzyme and substrate and have allowed tentative evaluation of several of the dissociation constants for the enzyme-lumazine complexes.  A reaction intermediate different from both 6, 6-dimethyl-8-ribityllumazine and riboflavin could not be demonstrated spectrally or chemically.  An intermediate with only a transient existence could not be excluded by the data presented.  The addition of glyoxal to incubation mixtures containing enzyme and 6,7-dimethyl-8-ribityllumazine led to the formation of 8-ribityl-lumazine in amounts equivalent to the enzymically formed riboflavin.  These results indicate that 4-ribitylamino-5amino-2, 6-dihydrosy-pyrimidine is the second reaction product found in the riboflavin synthetase reaction.

description: The current study investigated the mechanisms through which posttraumatic stress (PTS) symptoms are associated with relationship functioning in a sample of 219 National Guard veterans and their partners. Veterans completed questionnaires regarding PTS symptoms, physical and verbal aggression, levels of communication, and relationship satisfaction. Partners reported on veterans' physical and verbal aggression and their own relationship satisfaction. Confirmatory factor analyses indicated that a Five-factor Model of PTS had the best relative fit for PTS symptoms reported by the veterans. Dyadic analyses via path analysis found significant negative relations between veterans' numbing symptoms and both veterans' and partners' relationship satisfaction, with an additional negative effect of avoidance and positive effect of reexperiencing on partners' relationship satisfaction. All other paths were nonsignificant. A second path analysis examined communication and aggression as mediators of the associations between symptom clusters and relationship satisfaction in both partners, using bootstrapping with 5000 resamples. Again, significant negative direct effects for the numbing cluster on both veterans' and partners' relationship satisfaction were found, with an additional negative direct effect of avoidance and positive direct effect of reexperiencing symptoms on partners' relationship satisfaction. Numbing also exerted a significant indirect effect on veterans' relationship satisfaction, and a marginally significant indirect effect on partners' relationship satisfaction via communication.

description: The ability to create, manipulate and detect non-classical states of light has been key for many recent achievements in quantum physics and for developing quantum technologies. Achieving the same level of control over phonons, the quanta of vibrations, could have a similar impact, in particular on the fields of quantum sensing and quantum information processing. Here we present a crucial step towards this level of control and realize a single-mode waveguide for individual phonons in a suspended silicon micro-structure. We use a cavity-waveguide architecture, where the cavity is used as a source and detector for the mechanical excitations, while the waveguide has a free standing end in order to reflect the phonons. This enables us to observe multiple round-trips of the phonons between the source and the reflector. The long mechanical lifetime of almost 100 $μs$ demonstrates the possibility of nearly lossless transmission of single phonons over, in principle, tens of centimeters. Our experiment demonstrates full on-chip control over traveling single phonons strongly confined in the directions transverse to the propagation axis, potentially enabling a time-encoded multimode quantum memory at telecom wavelength and advanced quantum acoustics experiments.

description: Inspired by the Sandcastle Worm, biomimetic of the water-borne adhesive was developed by complex coacervation of the synthetic copolyelectrolytes, mimicking the chemistries of the worm glue. The developed underwater adhesive was designed for sealing fetal membranes after fetoscopic surgery in twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) and sealing neural tissue of a fetus in aminiotic sac for spina bifida condition. Complex coacervate with increased bond strength was created by entrapping polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEG-dA) monomer within the cross-linked coacervate network. Maximum shear bond strength of ~ 1.2 MPa on aluminum substrates was reached. The monomer-filled coacervate had complex flow behavior, thickening at low shear rates and then thinning suddenly with a 16-fold drop in viscosity at shear rates near 6 s-1. The microscale structure of the complex coacervates resembled a three-dimensional porous network of interconnected tubules. This complex coacervate adhesive was used in vitro studies to mimic the uterine wall-fetal membrane interface using a water column with one end and sealed with human fetal membranes and poultry breast, and a defect was created with an 11 French trocar. The coacervate adhesive in conjunction with the multiphase adhesive was used to seal the defect. The sealant withstood an additional traction of 12 g for 30-60 minutes and turbulence of the water column without leakage of fluid or slippage. The adhesive is nontoxic when in direct contact with human fetal membranes in an organ culture setting.

Structures of the Klebsiella Oxytoca Phage Phi KO2 and Vibrio Harveyi Myovirus-Like Protelomerase Far C-Terminal Domains
Creators: name: Smith, Diana K.
Publisher: name: University of Utah

description: A small but growing number of bacteria and phages are known to contain linear, hairpin-ended genomes. The hairpin "protelomeres" are created by the action of a dedicated enzyme known as protelomerase that acts on a palindromic DNA target sequence. Phage protelomerases are typically longer than their bacterial counterparts and contain an additional far C-terminal region of limited sequence conservation. Studies of the protelomerase of the Klebsiella oxytoca phage ΦKO2 have shown that although the far C-terminal region is not required to produce hairpin ends, truncation of the region has a drastic effect on enzyme kinetics. To date, no other studies have been reported on the far C-terminal region of this or any other protelomerase. We present the solution structures of the far C-terminal regions of two phage protelomerases. The regions form homologous, compact structures that adopt a fold similar to the canonical double-stranded RNA-binding domain and have been called the far C-terminal domains. Sequence alignment and secondary structure predictions show that all known and putative phage protelomerases contain C-terminal regions which will almost certainly form homologous domains. A sequence comparison of these proteins with all known protelomerases is presented, along with an analysis of the sequence and structure of proteins which adopt a similar fold. Based on structure homology and comparative sequence conservation of key binding regions, we propose that the domain belongs to the growing family of three stranded β-sheet DNA-binding proteins that is a subclass of the double-stranded RNA-binding domain superfamily.

description: The open-ended question answering task of Text-VQA often requires reading and reasoning about rarely seen or completely unseen scene-text content of an image. We address this zero-shot nature of the problem by proposing the generalized use of external knowledge to augment our understanding of the scene text. We design a framework to extract, validate, and reason with knowledge using a standard multimodal transformer for vision language understanding tasks. Through empirical evidence and qualitative results, we demonstrate how external knowledge can highlight instance-only cues and thus help deal with training data bias, improve answer entity type correctness, and detect multiword named entities. We generate results comparable to the state-of-the-art on three publicly available datasets, under the constraints of similar upstream OCR systems and training data.

description: Deep learning is dramatically transforming the field of medical imaging and radiology, enabling the identification of pathologies in medical images, including computed tomography (CT) and X-ray scans. However, the performance of deep learning models, particularly in segmentation tasks, is often limited by the need for extensive annotated datasets. To address this challenge, the capabilities of weakly supervised semantic segmentation are explored through the lens of Explainable AI and the generation of counterfactual explanations. The scope of this research is development of a novel counterfactual inpainting approach (COIN) that flips the predicted classification label from abnormal to normal by using a generative model. For instance, if the classifier deems an input medical image X as abnormal, indicating the presence of a pathology, the generative model aims to inpaint the abnormal region, thus reversing the classifier's original prediction label. The approach enables us to produce precise segmentations for pathologies without depending on pre-existing segmentation masks. Crucially, image-level labels are utilized, which are substantially easier to acquire than creating detailed segmentation masks. The effectiveness of the method is demonstrated by segmenting synthetic targets and actual kidney tumors from CT images acquired from Tartu University Hospital in Estonia. The findings indicate that COIN greatly surpasses established attribution methods, such as RISE, ScoreCAM, and LayerCAM, as well as an alternative counterfactual explanation method introduced by Singla et al. This evidence suggests that COIN is a promising approach for semantic segmentation of tumors in CT images, and presents a step forward in making deep learning applications more accessible and effective in healthcare, where annotated data is scarce.

Implications of thrust and detachment faulting for the structural geology of the Thermo Hot Springs known geothermal resource area, Beaver County, Utah
Creators: name: Anderson, Warren Vanner
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2012
Subjects: Beaver County, Cave Canyon detachment, Mineral Mountains, Sevier geothermal anomaly, southwestern Utah, Thermo Hot Springs

description: This report presents data and conclusions concerning the role of low-angle faulting in the formation of the Thermo Hot Springs Known Geothermal Resource Area (KGRA) and the effects that such faulting may have on fluid flow and production. The conclusions are that the KGRA is formed by a low-angle normal fault that juxtaposes Mesozoic and upper Paleozoic sedimentary rock in the upper plate over metamorphic rock and granite. The Mesozoic section is in turn overlain by a sequence of Tertiary to Quaternary volcanic and sedimentary deposits. High-angle normal faults offset the sedimentary and volcanic sections, and in some, if not all, cases penetrate and offset the low-angle detachment fault. These high-angle normal faults may hydraulically compartmentalize the reservoir but also provide pathways for fluids to ascend upwards from beneath the detachment fault. The implications of the low-angle normal or detachment fault structure are significant: (1) The Thermo Hot Springs KGRA has striking similarities to the structures and stratigraphy that are exposed in the southern Mineral Mountains, which provide an excellent outcrop analog for studying the nature of the structures and fluid conduits that presumably occur at depth in the KGRA. There is good reason to suspect that the Cave Canyon detachment fault exposed in the southern Mineral Mountains is the same or similar structure as the detachment fault within the Thermo Hot Springs KGRA. The similarities include lower fault plate granitic and metamorphic rocks, hydrothermally altered cataclasite within the detachment fault zone, essentially an identical stratigraphy within the upper plate of the detachment fault, and a mosaic of north and east trending high-angle normal faults, some of which penetrate and offset the detachment fault. (2) The low-angle detachment fault model for KGRA structure has regional implications for geothermal prospecting in the Basin and Range terrain of southwestern Utah. This region is underlain by several known or suspected detachment normal faults of middle to late Tertiary age, which may act to laterally channel hot fluids at depth over large areas with little surface expression, such as springs or tufa mounds, except where the low-angle faults are breached by younger faulting.

description: The canonical form of scale mixtures of multivariate skew-normal distribution is defined, emphasizing its role in summarizing some key properties of this class of distributions. It is also shown that the canonical form corresponds to an affine invariant co-ordinate system as defined in Tyler et al. (2009), and a method for obtaining the linear transform that converts a scale mixture of multivariate skew-normal distribution into a canonical form is presented. Related results, where the particular case of the multivariate skew t distribution is considered in greater detail, are the general expression of the Mardia indices of multivariate skewness and kurtosis and the reduction of dimensionality in calculating the mode.

description: In this paper, we propose a suboptimal moving horizon estimator for a general class of nonlinear systems. For the stability analysis, we transfer the "feasibility-implies-stability/robustness" paradigm from model predictive control to the context of moving horizon estimation in the following sense: Using a suitably defined, feasible candidate solution based on an auxiliary observer, robust stability of the proposed suboptimal estimator is inherited independently of the horizon length and even if no optimization is performed. Moreover, the proposed design allows for the choice between two cost functions different in structure: the former in the manner of a standard least squares approach, which is typically used in practice, and the latter following a time-discounted modification, resulting in better theoretical guarantees. We apply the proposed suboptimal estimator to a nonlinear chemical reactor process, verify the theoretical assumptions, and show that even a few iterations of the optimizer are sufficient to significantly improve the estimation results of the auxiliary observer. Furthermore, we illustrate the flexibility of the proposed design by employing different solvers and compare the performance with two state-of-the-art fast MHE schemes from the literature.
