description: 3D instance segmentation is crucial for applications demanding comprehensive 3D scene understanding. In this paper, we introduce a novel method that simultaneously learns coefficients and prototypes. Employing an overcomplete sampling strategy, our method produces an overcomplete set of instance predictions, from which the optimal ones are selected through a Non-Maximum Suppression (NMS) algorithm during inference. The obtained prototypes are visualizable and interpretable. Our method demonstrates superior performance on S3DIS-blocks, consistently outperforming existing methods in mRec and mPrec. Moreover, it operates 32.9% faster than the state-of-the-art. Notably, with only 0.8% of the total inference time, our method exhibits an over 20-fold reduction in the variance of inference time compared to existing methods. These attributes render our method well-suited for practical applications requiring both rapid inference and high reliability.

description: This paper proposes a novel block merging algorithm suitable for any block-based 3D instance segmentation technique. The proposed work improves over the state-of-the-art by allowing wrongly labelled points of already processed blocks to be corrected through label propagation. By doing so, instance overlap between blocks is not anymore necessary to produce the desirable results, which is the main limitation of the current art. Our experiments show that the proposed block merging algorithm significantly and consistently improves the obtained accuracy for all evaluation metrics employed in literature, regardless of the underlying network architecture.

Discrete boundary treatment for the shifted wave equation

description: We present strongly stable semi-discrete finite difference approximations to the quarter space problem (x>0, t>0) for the first order in time, second order in space wave equation with a shift term. We consider space-like (pure outflow) and time-like boundaries, with either second or fourth order accuracy. These discrete boundary conditions suggest a general prescription for boundary conditions in finite difference codes approximating first order in time, second order in space hyperbolic problems, such as those that appear in numerical relativity. As an example we construct boundary conditions for the Nagy-Ortiz-Reula formulation of the Einstein equations coupled to a scalar field in spherical symmetry.

description: The estimation of covariance operators of spatio-temporal data is in many applications only computationally feasible under simplifying assumptions, such as separability of the covariance into strictly temporal and spatial factors. Powerful tests for this assumption have been proposed in the literature. However, as real world systems, such as climate data are notoriously inseparable, validating this assumption by statistical tests, seems inherently questionable. In this paper we present an alternative approach: By virtue of separability measures, we quantify how strongly the data’s covariance operator diverges from a separable approximation. Conﬁdence intervals localize these measures with statistical guarantees. This method provides users with a ﬂexible tool, to weigh the computational gains of a separable model against the associated increase in bias. As separable approximations we consider the established methods of partial traces and partial products, and develop weak convergence principles for the corresponding estimators. Moreover, we also prove such results for estimators of optimal, separable approximations, which are arguably of most interest in applications. In particular we present for the ﬁrst time statistical inference for this object, which has been conﬁned to estimation previously. Besides conﬁdence intervals, our results encompass tests for approximate separability. All methods proposed in this paper are free of nuisance parameters and do neither require computationally expensive resampling procedures nor the estimation of nuisance parameters. A simulation study underlines the advantages of our approach and its applicability is demonstrated by the investigation of German annual temperature data.

description: Objective: Evaluate the association between the multi-biomarker disease activity (MBDA) score and radiographic progression in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) treated with tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α inhibitors. Methods: Change (Δ) in modified total Sharp score (mTSS) over 52 weeks and disease activity scores were examined retrospectively by Spearman's rank correlation coefficient in patients (N = 83) with RA initiating TNF-inhibitor treatment. Relative risk (RR) of ΔmTSS >0.5 for low MBDA score and 28-joint count disease activity score (DAS28) categories and associations between ΔmTSS and MBDA score categories conditional on DAS28 categories were assessed. Results: At 52 weeks, 34% of patients had ΔmTSS >0.5 and 12% had ΔmTSS >3. Strongest correlations were observed between ΔmTSS and MBDA score (r = 0.47) or DAS28 (r = 0.42) at Week 24 and for area under the curve at Week 52 (MBDA score: r = 0.44, DAS28: r = 0.41), all p 0.5 for moderate/high MBDA score (≥30) or DAS28 (>3.2) were 6.6 (p p = 0.005), respectively. Low DAS28 had greater risk of ΔmTSS >0.5 at 52 weeks when MBDA score was ≥30 (p Conclusion: Higher MBDA score or DAS28 at Week 24 was associated with greater radiographic progression over 52 weeks of TNF-inhibitor treatment. MBDA score improved risk discrimination for radiographic progression within DAS28 categories.

description: An object rhyming task that does not require text reading and is suitable for younger children was used to predict gains in word level reading skills following an intensive 2-year reading intervention for children with developmental dyslexia. The task evoked activation in bilateral inferior frontal regions. Growth in untimed pseudoword reading was associated with increased pre-intervention activation of the left inferior frontal gyrus, and growth in timed word reading was associated with pre-intervention activation of the left and right inferior frontal gyri. These analyses help identify pre-intervention factors that facilitate reading skill improvements in children with developmental dyslexia.

description: Rooting media used in current root phenotyping studies can have substantial effect. In this study, the effects of three different nutrient conducting papers (Black construction paper, Anchor blue germination paper and Kimpak paper) and soil-filled boxes on root growth and root system architecture (RSA) of Brassica rapa (cultivars ‘R500’ and ‘IMB211’) were investigated. Seedlings of the two B. rapa genotypes were supplied with nutrients on the nutrient conducting papers and in the soil-filled boxes. The papers and soil-filled boxes were fixed to flatbed scanners and two-dimensional images of roots were periodically taken and analysed. Root media effects on shoot and root biomass and on topological indices (TI) were observed. For example, root branching was more pronounced on the construction paper. Mean TI of 0.82 and 0.93, recorded for R500 and IMB211, respectively, on the construction paper indicated that substrates affect the herringbone pattern of brassica roots. Whilst it was indicated that different results could be obtained for the same RSA when different germination papers are used, the results showed that Anchor blue germination paper is an ideal proxy for soil in phenotyping seedlings for RSA traits and root growth.

Chromium adsorption

description: Heavy metals (HMs) are the most common and dangerous pollutants present in water. Among the different methods used for HMs removal, adsorption is one of the best options since its cost-effectivity and easy operation. In this regard, Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs) adsorbents are gaining interest in that field due to their unique characteristics such high porosity, easy tunability and high chemical stability. In order to increase the adsorption capacity and selectivity of that adsorbents different modifications of the structure are carried out. In that work, six different UiO66 Zr-crystal frameworks have been used to study the effect of incorporating hydroxyl and amine groups within the organic linkers, as well as of the presence of defective positions on the adsorption capacity of Cr(VI) and Cr(III) species. Results (Figs. 1-7) shows that, the generation of defective points increase the density of chemisorption points for chromate anions (Cr(VI)) while for cationic Cr(III) species the density of hydroxyl or amine groups is the fact that governs the adsorption capacity.

Subjects: mosaicing, concatenative synthesis, MIR, machine learning

description: This thesis investigates the use of high level descriptors (like genre, mood, instrumentation, singer's gender, etc.) in audio mosaicing, a form of data driven concatenative sound synthesis (CSS). The document begins by discussing the advances made in the eld of music content description over the last 10 years, explaining the meaning of high level music content description and highlighting the relevance of automatic music content description in general, to the eld of audio mosaicing. It proceeds, tracing the origins of mosaicing from its beginnings as a time consuming manual process, through to modern eorts to automate mosaicing and enhance the productivity of artists seeking to create mosaics. The essential components of a mosaicing system are described. Existing mosaicing systems are dissected and categorised into a taxonomy based on their potential application area. The time resolution of high level descriptors is investigated and a new hierarchical framework for incorporating high level descriptors into mosaicing applications is introduced and evaluated. This framework is written in Python and utilises pure data as both user interface and audio engine. Descriptors, stemming from Music Information Retrieval (MIR) research are calculated using an in-house analysis extraction tool. In-house audio-matching software is used as the similarity search engine. Many other libraries have also been integrated to aid the research, in particular Aubio for note detection, and Rubberband, for time stretching. The high level descriptors included in this project are; mood (happy, sad, relaxed or happy), gender (male or female), key, scale (major or minor), instrumental, vocal. A mini application for augmenting audio loops with mosaics is presented. This is used to show how the framework can be extended to cater for a given mosaicing paradigm. The musical applications of mosaics in the traditional song-based composition are also explored. Finally, conclusions are drawn and directions for future work postulated.
The Environmental Impact of Foreign Direct Investment in Morocco: Policies, Trends, and Sustainability Outcomes

description: This study analyzes the environmental impact of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in Morocco (2000-2024), examining sectoral differences, policy efficiency, and technology transfer using econometrics and case studies. Findings reveal a positive correlation between FDI in traditional sectors (manufacturing, mining) and CO₂ emissions (r = 0.62, p<0.01), while green FDI (renewable energy) is associated with reduced emissions (r = -0.34, p<0.01). Environmental policy effectiveness is a crucial mediator, with renewable energy policies (Law 13-09, score 8.5/10) more effective than mining regulations (score 4.8/10). EU FDI shows higher technology transfer rates (40% greater). The study recommends tiered FDI screening, local content quotas, and IoT-based monitoring to align investments with SDGs 7, 9, and 13, offering a nuanced perspective on the pollution haven hypothesis.

description: The theme effectiveness of labor standard in space even though it appears from those that make up the foundations of the Labor Law or his General Theory, classical scholars do not give them enough attention. Still, when he refers, but included in that dimension of importance, are to portray which standard to apply to the worker hired to provide services outside the country; or those who were transferred on a provisional or definitive and finally to settle conflicts involving specific professional categories. This study aims to give an analytical and categorical treatment to the effectiveness of labor standard in space, to the extent that out as a theme linked to the philosophical discourse of modernity, the universal / legitimation of free / paid employment and receipt of a priori for calls organizations and international cooperation, as well as by the rules dictated by the European Union and Mercosur. The study aims to establish a different narrative: put face to face the legal / coercive regulation and universal absolute arising from modern legal system and labor and social movements of libertarian roots which are triggered by the new labor internationalism. It aims to unravel the apparent harmony between capital and labor and demonstrate the intrinsic and inherent class antagonism. Social movements and theories of social movements form the basis of this theoretical-dogmatic reconfiguration.

description: Pain is prevalent after most TransOral Robotic Surgery (TORS) procedures and may limit function i.e. swallowing. Currently, there is limited knowledge regarding optimal pain treatment in TORS. This clinical trial randomized patients to either a high-dose dexamethasone or low-dose dexamethasone treatment in addition to a multimodal basic analgesic protocol. The aim of the trial was to investigate the pain intensity during rest and swallowing using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) after TORS lingual tonsillectomy. Secondary outcomes were acceptable food consistency, nausea, vomiting, opioid rescue usage, length of hospitalization, feeding tube placements, readmissions, blood glucose levels and postoperative complications. The trial was conducted between August 2020 and October 2022. Eligible patients were patients scheduled for TORS-L treatment of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome or as part of the diagnostic work-up of head and neck carcinoma of unknown primary. Eighteen patients were and randomized 1:1. There were overall no significant differences between groups in the reported VAS scores during rest or swallowing (p ≥ .05). Overall, there were no differences in the secondary outcomes. There were no differences in the pain intensity in the two treatment groups allocated to a basic multimodal analgesic package and either high-dose dexamethasone or low-dose dexamethasone treatment. The trial is the first RCT to include pain measurement during a procedure-relevant activity, thus creating a platform for future recovery studies.

description: This article aims to identify the existence and classify the personality rights of the unborn. Therefore, it is necessary to present the legal nature of the unborn child. In this sense, the study assumes that the unborn child is assigned legal personality grounded in the Conceptionist theory that assures personality rights from the conception. Although the unborn child is respected as a subject of rights, it is recognized that he or she is a person in differentiated condition of those who already were born, which does not prevent him/her from assigning the capacity of law, however there are specificities that should be considered to make an appropriate classification of his/her personality rights. In order for the unborn is born alive, it is essential that his/her psychophysical integrity is assured by fundamental rights, such as: the right to health during pregnancy; the right to be born alive; and the right to be born without congenital malformation. Accordingly, we conclude that the unborn child, for having intrauterine life, is endowed with legal personality, which guarantees him/her the capacity of rights, which, related to personality rights, are classified as the right to physical integrity and moral integrity.

description: Air pollution is among the world’s greatest environmental health threats. Still, little strategic communication research has addressed it. We report two pre-registered experiments examining narrative and statistical message effects. Study 1 (N = 1,282, U.S.) showed little effect for either. Study 2 (N = 754, California), which accounted for potentially problematic design features of Study 1, found effects for both types across a range of attitudinal outcomes (emotional response, efficacy, risk). Narrative messaging also had a small effect on mitigation intention. Carefully designed messages may produce positive changes on this issue, but success depends on alignment between message construction, recommended behaviors, and audience relevance.

description: Vestibular stimulation causes postural unsteadiness accompanied by a sensation of tilt. The mechanism of the sensation of tilt needs to be assessed by accurate calculation of the rotational axis of torsional eye position under various vestibular stimulations. Twenty-two healthy subjects participated in the study. Thirteen subjects underwent bilateral vestibular stimulation by on-axis yaw rotation under various head positions, and eighteen subjects underwent unilateral vestibular stimulation by caloric irrigation under various head positions. Listing’s Plane was plotted for the eye movement data obtained by three-dimensional video-oculography. The offset of Listing’s Plane showed sustained deviation of torsional eye position that was more prominent in head positions that stimulated lateral semicircular canals more than vertical semicircular canals. There was a less prominent and directionally reversed offset in head positions that stimulated vertical canals more than lateral semicircular canals. The sustained torsional eye position was validated by accurate assessment using Listing’s Plane. The mechanism behind the deviation may be due to a combination of multiple anatomical components within the vestibular apparatus, with potentially stronger influence from lateral semicircular canals.

description: Many individuals meet romantic partners, friends, and coworkers online before meeting in person. This study investigates the development of online-first partner perceptions, utilizing the imagined interactions framework to test the specificity, frequency, and proactivity of cognitions about an online-first meeting. Individuals chatted with a new partner in a lab. Their cognitions about the partner were measured two days later. Results show that individuals engaged in specific and frequent imagined interactions based on how similar they perceived their partner to be. In turn, specific imagined interactions increased idealization of one’s partner over time.
‘Fossils’ of political institutions. Rome and Tripolitanian marginal areas during Late Antiquity

description: This paper examines some political-institutional, cultural, and religious dynamics in the border areas of Roman Tripolitania. The site of Ghirza, in particular, offers insights into the forms and content of intercultural exchange between the native groups and the Romano-Byzantines. The settlement was also crucial for the territorial political control of the Roman administration in those marginal areas. Some of the reliefs on the local mausolea show ceremonial scenes concerning the investiture of certain chiefs. Scholars have suggested that the depiction may refer to a Roman magistrate, such as praefectus or princeps gentis. This paper aims to better define the powers related to the tribal chief of Ghirza. It also attempts to distinguish the earliest legal-institutional basis on which this office may have been rooted. The Roman government in the borderlands acted as a guarantee of political legitimacy in the management of the confederations of tribes that gravitated on the Roman limes. In this sense, this research is supposed to identify the residual “fossils” of the Etruscan-Italic magistracies which in frontier contexts were much more suitable than the Roman magistracies for indirect political management.

title: Investigating cancer cell dormancy and recurrence in the bone marrow niche

description: Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed form of cancer in women. The spread of metastatic cancer cells to secondary sites, such as the bone marrow, is the leading cause of mortality. Upon entering the bone marrow, disseminated breast cancer cells enter a period of cycling quiescence, termed dormancy. Here, cells are able to reside in the new environment for years before re-entering a growth phase, known as recurrence. The relationship between these breast cancer cells and resident mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is of clinical importance. MSCs have been implicated in the initiation of breast cancer dormancy. The precise mechanism of recurrence is not known, but there is evidence to suggest the relationship between breast cancer and MSCs is of importance. Research has traditionally used two-dimensional culture techniques, however these models lack the complexity and three-dimensional nature of the bone marrow environment. The project aimed to develop a novel, bio-responsive in vitro three-dimensional bone marrow model. Magnetic nanoparticle-loaded breast cancer and mesenchymal stem cells were levitated using an external magnetic field to form multicellular spheroids. These spheroids were subsequently located within a Type I collagen gel. The breast cancer cells within the spheroid exhibited quiescent behaviour when cultured in the three-dimensional environment when exposed to MSC-derived extracellular vesicles. This quiescent behaviour was reversed when the breast cancer spheroids were exposed to cytokines IL-6 and TGFβ, associated with cellular repair.
