description: Natural causes (such as droughts), non-natural causes (such as competing uses), and government policies limit the supply of water for agriculture in general and irrigating crops in particular. Under such reduced water supply scenarios, existing physical models reduce irrigation proportionally among crops in the farmer’s portfolio, disregarding temporal changes in economic and/or institutional conditions. Hence, changes in crop mix resulting from expectations about risks and returns are ignored. A method is developed that considers those changes and accounts for economic substitution and expansion effects. Forecasting studies based on this method with surface water in Georgia and Alabama demonstrate the relative strength of econometric modeling vis-a`-vis physical methods. Results from a study using this method for ground water in Mississippi verify the robustness of those findings. Results from policy induced simulation scenarios indicate water savings of 12% to 27% using the innovative method developed. Although better irrigation water demand forecasting in crop production was the key objective of this pilot project, conservation of a valuable natural resource (water) has turned out to be a key consequence.

description: Signal retrieval from a series of indirect measurements is a common task in many imaging, metrology and characterization platforms in science and engineering. Because most of the indirect measurement processes are well-described by physical models, signal retrieval can be solved with an iterative optimization that enforces measurement consistency and prior knowledge on the signal. These iterative processes are time-consuming and only accommodate a linear measurement process and convex signal constraints. Recently, neural networks have been widely adopted to supersede iterative signal retrieval methods by approximating the inverse mapping of the measurement model. However, networks with deterministic processes have failed to distinguish signal ambiguities in an ill-posed measurement system, and retrieved signals often lack consistency with the measurement. In this work we introduce a variational generative model to capture the distribution of all possible signals, given a particular measurement. By exploiting the known measurement model in the variational generative framework, our signal retrieval process resolves the ambiguity in the forward process, and learns to retrieve signals that satisfy the measurement with high fidelity in a variety of linear and nonlinear ill-posed systems, including ultrafast pulse retrieval, coded aperture compressive video sensing and image retrieval from Fresnel hologram.

description: A gaseous Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) irradiated by a far off-resonance laser has long-range interatomic correlations caused by laser-induced dipole-dipole interactions. These correlations, which are tunable via the laser intensity and frequency, can produce a `roton' minimum in the excitation spectrum--behavior reminiscent of the strongly correlated superfluid liquid helium II.

description: The molecular structure of the novel thiosemicarbazide (E)-4-[1-(2-carbamothioylhydrazinylidene) ethyl] - phenyl benzoate has been synthesized and subjected to Raman and Fourier transform infrared spectral studies. Optimized parameters of (E)-4-[1-(2-carbamothioylhydrazinylidene) ethyl] - phenyl benzoate monomer and dimer have been compared with X-ray diffraction data. The existence of hydrogen bonded intramolecular interactions, intermolecular interactions and the hyperconjugative energy leading to the stabilization of the system have been revealed by natural bond orbital analysis. Charge transfer interactions from highest occupied molecular orbital to lowest unoccupied molecular orbital and the observed low energy gap predict the molecule to be more reactive. Molecular electrostatic potential image shows the potential binding site is around the sulfur atom. The spectra have been analyzed and the assignments of the normal modes of vibrations have been carried out with the help of normal coordinate analysis following the scaled quantum chemical force field methodology. The observed spectral shift substantiates the spectral evidence of the intermolecular hydrogen bonding. Molecular docking scores reveal good binding affinity and the inhibition activity of the molecule against dengue viral protein 4c11.

description: Observations of cosmic rays with energies above ~ 4 x 10^{10} GeV have inspired several speculative suggestions concerning their origin. The crucial question is whether or not the spectrum exhibits the expected `GZK cutoff' at this energy -- concerning which there are presently contradictory results. If there is indeed a cutoff, then the sources are cosmologically distant and rather exotic in nature. If there is no cutoff then new physics is required.

The complexes exhibit crystalline character and excellent thermal stability. On irradiation with ultraviolet radiation, the complexes display characteristic emission peaks of samarium(III) ion. The color coordinates, decay curves, and quantum yield have been discussed in detail. The investigations demonstrate that the synthesized complexes might be practically useful in bio-assays, electroluminescent devices, and liquid lasers due to their fascinating optical properties.

description: The minimum vertex cover (Min-VC) problem is a well-known NP-hard problem. Earlier studies illustrate that the problem defined over the Erdös-Rényi random graph with a mean degree $c$ exhibits computational difficulty in searching the Min-VC set above a critical point $c = e = 2.718 \ldots$. Here, we address how this difficulty is influenced by the mesoscopic structures of graphs. For this, we evaluate the critical condition of difficulty for the stochastic block model. We perform a detailed examination of the specific cases of two equal-size communities characterized by in- and out- degrees, which are denoted by $c_{\rm in}$ and $c_{\rm out}$, respectively. Our analysis based on the cavity method indicates that the solution search becomes difficult when $c_{\rm in }+c_{\rm out} > e$, but becomes easy again when $c_{\text{out}}$ is sufficiently larger than $c_{\mathrm{in}}$ in the region $c_{\rm out}>e$. Experiments based on various search algorithms support the theoretical prediction.

description: Mutual information is widely used in artificial intelligence, in a descriptive way, to measure the stochastic dependence of discrete random variables. In order to address questions such as the reliability of the empirical value, one must consider sample-to-population inferential approaches. This paper deals with the distribution of mutual information, as obtained in a Bayesian framework by a second-order Dirichlet prior distribution. The exact analytical expression for the mean and an analytical approximation of the variance are reported. Asymptotic approximations of the distribution are proposed. The results are applied to the problem of selecting features for incremental learning and classification of the naive Bayes classifier. A fast, newly defined method is shown to outperform the traditional approach based on empirical mutual information on a number of real data sets. Finally, a theoretical development is reported that allows one to efficiently extend the above methods to incomplete samples in an easy and effective way.

description: It is shown that both structural phase transitions in Cd2Re2O7, which occur at T_{s1}=200 K and T_{s2}=120 K, are due to an instability of the Re tetrahedral network with respect to the same doubly degenerate long-wavelength phonon mode. The primary structural order parameter transforms according to the irreducible representation E_u of the point group O_h. We argue that the transition at T_{s1} may be of second order, in accordance with experimental data. We obtain the phase diagram in the space of phenomenological parameters and propose a thermodynamic path that Cd2Re2O7 follows upon cooling. Couplings of the itinerant electronic system and localized spin states in pyrochlores and spinels to atomic displacements are discussed.

description: Background: Despite the quantitative information derived from testing of the CSF circulation, there is still no consensus on what the best approach could be in defining criteria for shunting and predicting response to CSF diversion in normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH). Objective: We aimed to review the lessons learned from assessment of CSF dynamics in our center and summarize our findings to date. We have focused on reporting the objective perspective of CSF dynamics testing, without further inferences to individual patient management. Discussion: No single parameter from the CSF infusion study has so far been able to serve as an unquestionable outcome predictor. Resistance to CSF outflow (Rout) is an important biological marker of CSF circulation. It should not, however, be used as a single predictor for improvement after shunting. Testing of CSF dynamics provides information on hydrodynamic properties of the cerebrospinal compartment: the system which is being modified by a shunt. Our experience of nearly 30 years of studying CSF dynamics in patients requiring shunting and/or shunt revision, combined with all the recent progress made in producing evidence on the clinical utility of CSF dynamics, has led to reconsidering the relationship between CSF circulation testing and clinical improvement. Conclusions: Despite many open questions and limitations, testing of CSF dynamics provides unique perspectives for the clinician. We have found value in understanding shunt function and potentially shunt response through shunt testing in vivo. In the absence of infusion tests, further methods that provide a clear description of the pre and post-shunting CSF circulation, and potentially cerebral blood flow, should be developed and adapted to the bed-space.

description: Scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) has advanced rapidly in the last decade thanks to the ability to correct the major aberrations of the probe forming lens. Now atomic-sized beams are routine, even at accelerating voltages as low as 40 kV, allowing knock-on damage to be minimized in beam sensitive materials. The aberration-corrected probes can contain sufficient current for high quality, simultaneous, imaging and analysis in multiple modes. Atomic positions can be mapped with picometer precision, revealing ferroelectric domain structures, composition can be mapped by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) and charge transfer can be tracked unit cell by unit cell using the EELS fine structure. Furthermore, dynamics of point defects can be investigated through rapid acquisition of multiple image scans. Today STEM has become an indispensable tool for analytical science at the atomic level, providing a whole new level of insights into the complex interplays that control materials properties.

Constraints on the Formation of PSR J0737-3039: the most probable isotropic kick magnitude

description: A strongly relativistic binary pulsar has been recently discovered with the 64m Parkes telescope (Burgay et al. 2003). Here we use the measured properties of this binary (masses and orbital characteristics as well as age estimates), and we derive the complete set of constraints imposed on the physical properties of the binary pulsar progenitor right before the second supernova explosion. We find that: (i) according to our current understanding of neutron-star formation, the helium-rich progenitor of the second neutron star is most likely overflowing its Roche lobe; (ii) the neutron-star kick magnitude is constrained in the range 60-1560 km/s, with the most probable value being equal to 150 km/s. While the first conclusion is in agreement with Dewi & van den Heuvel (2003), our upper limit on the kick magnitude is significantly larger than that derived by these authors. We find that the difference arises because Dewi & van den Heuvel (2003) inadvertently neglected to consider kicks directed out of the pre-supernova orbital plane.

description: The notion of Circular Economy is often presented as a more sustainable alternative to a ‘linear’ economic system. However, there is a distinct gap in the academic literature surrounding the concept, particularly in terms of implementation. This article provides an initial exploration into critical factors influencing the process of implementation by studying 12 bottom-up CE initiatives in the two Dutch cities of Amsterdam and Rotterdam. In-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with key stakeholder(s) for each initiative in order to identify the perceived importance of the critical factors. In total, 18 critical factors were identified, grouped into 5 overarching categories: financial, institutional, policy and regulatory, technology and knowledge, and social. The analysis shows that the critical factors identified do not act in isolation, and form a complex web of interconnecting critical factors. Furthermore, it illustrates how certain critical factors are of significant influence at particular stages throughout the process of implementation.

description: Abstract: Self-assembled nanocomposite thin films couple two materials into a single film, typically, in the form of vertically aligned nanopillars embedded in a matrix film. High-density vertical heterointerfaces provide a great platform for engineering new physical properties and novel multifunctionalities, as well as for nanoscale device integration. Tremendous research efforts have been devoted to developing different nanocomposite systems. In this article, we summarize recent progress on vertically aligned nanocomposite thin films for enhanced functionalities such as ferroelectricity, tunable magnetoresistance, multiferroicity, dielectricity, magnetic anisotropy, perpendicular exchange bias, novel electrical/ionic properties, interfacial conduction, and resistive switching. Using specific examples, we discuss how and why the fundamental physical properties can be significantly tuned/improved in vertically aligned nanocomposites. Finally, we propose future research directions to achieve further enhanced performance as well as practical devices.

description: It is broadly known that Lie point symmetries and their subcase, Noether symmetries, can be used as a geometric criterion to select alternative theories of gravity. Here, we use Noether symmetries as a selection criterion to distinguish those models of $f(R,G)$ theory, with $R$ and $G$ being the Ricci and the Gauss-Bonnet scalars respectively, that are invariant under point transformations in a spherically symmetric background. In total, we find ten different forms of $f$ that present symmetries and calculate their invariant quantities, i.e Noether vector fields. Furthermore, we use these Noether symmetries to find exact spherically symmetric solutions in some of the models of $f(R,G)$ theory.

description: Abstract: Background: The clinical pathway to detect and diagnose prostate cancer has been revolutionised by the use of multiparametric MRI (mpMRI pre-biopsy). mpMRI however remains a resource-intensive test and is highly operator dependent with variable effectiveness with regard to its negative predictive value. Here we tested the use of the phi assay in standard clinical practice to pre-select men at the highest risk of harbouring significant cancer and hence refine the use of mpMRI and biopsies. Methods: A prospective five-centre study recruited men being investigated through an mpMRI-based prostate cancer diagnostic pathway. Test statistics for PSA, PSA density (PSAd) and phi were assessed for detecting significant cancers using 2 definitions: ≥ Grade Group (GG2) and ≥ Cambridge Prognostic Groups (CPG) 3. Cost modelling and decision curve analysis (DCA) was simultaneously performed. Results: A total of 545 men were recruited and studied with a median age, PSA and phi of 66 years, 8.0 ng/ml and 44 respectively. Overall, ≥ GG2 and ≥ CPG3 cancer detection rates were 64% (349/545), 47% (256/545) and 32% (174/545) respectively. There was no difference across centres for patient demographics or cancer detection rates. The overall area under the curve (AUC) for predicting ≥ GG2 cancers was 0.70 for PSA and 0.82 for phi. AUCs for ≥ CPG3 cancers were 0.81 and 0.87 for PSA and phi respectively. AUC values for phi did not differ between centres suggesting reliability of the test in different diagnostic settings. Pre-referral phi cut-offs between 20 and 30 had NPVs of 0.85–0.90 for ≥ GG2 cancers and 0.94–1.0 for ≥ CPG3 cancers. A strategy of mpMRI in all and biopsy only positive lesions reduced unnecessary biopsies by 35% but missed 9% of ≥ GG2 and 5% of ≥ CPG3 cancers. Using PH ≥ 30 to rule out referrals missed 8% and 5% of ≥ GG2 and ≥ CPG3 cancers (and reduced unnecessary biopsies by 40%). This was achieved however with 25% fewer mpMRI. Pathways incorporating PSAd missed fewer cancers but necessitated more unnecessary biopsies. The phi strategy had the lowest mean costs with DCA demonstrating net clinical benefit over a range of thresholds. Conclusion: phi as a triaging test may be an effective way to reduce mpMRI and biopsies without compromising detection of significant prostate cancers.

Transport properties of spin superfluids: comparing easy-plane ferro- and antiferromagnets

description: We present a study on spin-superfluid transport based on an atomistic, classical spin model. Easy-plane ferro- as well as antiferromagnets are considered, which allows for a direct comparison of these two material classes based on the same model assumptions. We find a spin-superfluid transport which is robust against variations of the boundary conditions, thermal fluctuations, and dissipation modeled via Gilbert damping. Though the spin accumulations is smaller for antiferromagnets the range of the spin-superfluid transport turns out to be identical for ferro- and antiferromagnets. Finally, we calculate and explore the role of the driving frequency and especially the critical frequency, where phase slips occur and the spin accumulation breaks down.

description: Abstract: Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a leading cause of dysphagia and food impaction in children and adults. The diagnosis relies on histological examination of esophageal mucosal biopsies and requires the presence of > 15 eosinophils per high-powered field. Potential pitfalls include the impact of biopsy sectioning as well as regional variations of eosinophil density. We performed genome-wide DNA methylation analyses on 30 esophageal biopsies obtained from children diagnosed with EoE (n = 7) and matched controls (n = 13) at the time of diagnosis as well as following first-line treatment. Analyses revealed striking disease-associated differences in mucosal DNA methylation profiles in children diagnosed with EoE, highlighting the potential for these epigenetic signatures to be developed into clinically applicable biomarkers.

description: We review some experimental and theoretical aspects of coherent acoustic phonon generation in piezoelectric semiconductor multiple quantum wells. In order to model more advanced and complicated nano-acoustic devices, a macroscopic continuum theory for the generation and propagation of coherent acoustic phonons in piezoelectric semiconductor heterostructures is presented. The macroscopic approach is applicable in the coherent regime, and can be easily utilized to study coherent acoustic devices based on piezoelectric semiconductor heterosutructures. For each phonon mode, the corresponding coherent acoustic field obeys a loaded string equation. The driven force has contributions from the piezoelectric and deformation potential couplings. We applied the theory to model the generation of coherent longitudinal acoustic phonons in (0001)-oriented InGaN/GaN multiple quantum wells. The numerical results are in good agreement with the experimental ones. By using the macroscopic theory, we also investigated the crystal-orientation effects on the generation of coherent acoustic phonons in wurtzite multiple quantum wells. It was found that coherent transverse acoustic phonons dominate the generation for certain orientation angles.

description: A series of fluorophenylpyrazole-picolinamide derivatives were synthesized in high yields using a cross-coupling reaction catalyzed by in situ formed palladium-N-heterocyclic carbenes (Pd-NHCs). The synthesized novel derivatives were evaluated for in vitro anticancer activity against a panel of four human tumor cell lines, HeLa (cervical), A-549 (lung), MCF-7 (breast), and IMR-32 (neuroblastoma). Four compounds, 11c, 11e, 11j, and 11k, showed growth inhibition (low µM) comparable with the standard drug cisplatin, providing a preliminary structure–activity relationship for the series. The present procedure is operationally simple and works with a wide range of substrates and may thus be useful in further compound optimization.

Papilomavírus Humano

description: O Papilomavírus humano (HPV) faz parte de um grupo viral de transmissão sexual que reúne mais de 200 tipos desse patógeno. Alguns são de baixo risco e originam verrugas nas mãos e pés, já outros são de alto risco, como o HPV-16 e o HPV-18, que podem causar graves infecções, principalmente nos genitais, e são fatores relevantes para a gênese de agravos à saúde, como cânceres. Nas últimas décadas, o vírus vem obtendo grande visibilidade devido à sua elevada prevalência no mundo, como também pela sua associação no desenvolvimento do câncer do colo do útero (CCU). Essa patologia é um agravo de saúde pública, que, apesar de ser uma das mais evitáveis, é a morbimortalidade mais comum entre mulheres do Brasil e do mundo; atingindo, principalmente, as populações mais vulneráveis, sendo que, segundo o Instituto Nacional do Câncer (INCA), para cada ano do triênio de 2023-2025, são esperados cerca de 17.000 casos, com maior incidência e mortalidade nas regiões Norte e Nordeste. Objetivo: Analisar a relevância do HPV como um desafio para o sistema de saúde, destacando sua associação com o câncer cervical, prevalência nacional e a necessidade de medidas para sua redução.

description: This paper presents a highly efficient method to obtain high-resolution, near-optimal 3D topologies optimized for minimum compliance on a standard PC. Using an implicit geometry description we derive a single-scale interpretation of optimal multi-scale designs on a very fine mesh (de-homogenization). By performing homogenization-based topology optimization, optimal multi-scale designs are obtained on a relatively coarse mesh resulting in a low computational cost. As microstructure parameterization we use orthogonal rank-3 microstructures, which are known to be optimal for a single loading case. Furthermore, a method to get explicit control of the minimum feature size and complexity of the final shapes will be discussed. Numerical examples show excellent performance of these fine-scale designs resulting in objective values similar to the homogenization-based designs. Comparisons with well-established density-based topology optimization methods show a reduction in computational cost of 3 orders of magnitude, paving the way for giga-scale designs on a standard PC.

Non-monotonic displacement distribution of active random walkers

description: We consider a simple model for active random walk with general temporal correlations, and investigate the shape of the probability distribution function of the displacement during a short time interval. We find that under certain conditions the distribution is non-monotonic and we show analytically and numerically that the existence of the non-monotonicity is governed by the walker's tendency to move forward, while the correlations between the timing of its active motion control the magnitude and shape of the non-monotonicity. In particular, we find that in a homogeneous system such non-monotonicity can occur only if the persistence is strong enough.
Revisiting the cosmic-ray induced Venusian radiation dose in the context of habitability

description: The Atmospheric Radiation Interaction Simulator (AtRIS) was used to model the altitude-dependent Venusian absorbed dose and the Venusian dose equivalent. For the first time, we modeled the dose rates for different shape-, size-, and composition-mimicking detectors (phantoms): a CO$_2$-based phantom, a water-based microbial cell, and a phantom mimicking human tissue. Based on a new model approach, we give a reliable estimate of the altitude-dependent Venusian radiation dose in water-based microorganisms here for the first time. These microorganisms are representative of known terrestrial life. We also present a detailed analysis of the influence of the strongest ground-level enhancements measured at the Earth's surface, and of the impact of two historic extreme solar events on the Venusian radiation dose. Our study shows that because a phantom based on Venusian air was used, and because furthermore, the quality factors of different radiation types were not taken into account, previous model efforts have underestimated the radiation hazard for any putative Venusian cloud-based life by up to a factor of five. However, because we furthermore show that even the strongest events would not have had a hazardous effect on putative microorganisms within the potentially habitable zone (51 km - 62 km), these differences may play only a minor role.

description: The electrical conductivity induced near the superconducting transition by thermal fluctuations was measured in different granular aluminum films. The seemingly anomalous behavior at high reduced temperatures and magnetic fields is explained by taking into account a total-energy cutoff in the superconducting fluctuation spectrum in both the direct (Aslamazov-Larkin) and the indirect (anomalous Maki-Thompson) contributions to the fluctuation effects. The analysis allowed a reliable determination of the coherence length amplitudes, which resulted to be much larger (20-48 nm) than the grains size (5-10 nm). This suggests that the grains are strongly Josephson-coupled, while the Tc value is still as high as twice the bulk value. These results could contribute to identify the mechanisms enhancing Tc in these materials.

description: A mild and efficient base promoted, microwave assisted, green synthesis of 2-amino-2-ene-1,4-diones has been described by the decomposition of phenacyl azides followed by treatment with pyridinium salts of phenacyl bromides in aqueous media. A diverse range of substrates bearing electron-releasing and electron-withdrawing substituents were well tolerated and delivered corresponding 2-amino-2-ene-1,4-diones in good yields. Synthesized 2-amino-2-ene-1,4-diones have been further explored in the synthesis of various substituted 4-hydroxypyrrolidin-2-ones.
