description: We present the first scaling relation between weak-lensing galaxy cluster mass, $M_{WL}$, and near-infrared luminosity, $L_K$. Our results are based on 17 clusters observed with wide-field instruments on Subaru, the United Kingdom Infrared Telescope, the Mayall Telescope, and the MMT. We concentrate on the relation between projected 2D weak-lensing mass and spectroscopically confirmed luminosity within 1Mpc, modelled as $M_{WL} \propto L_{K}^b$, obtaining a power law slope of $b=0.83^{+0.27}_{-0.24}$ and an intrinsic scatter of $σ_{lnM_{WL}|L_{K}}=10^{+8}_{-5}\%$. Intrinsic scatter of ~10% is a consistent feature of our results regardless of how we modify our approach to measuring the relationship between mass and light. For example, deprojecting the mass and measuring both quantities within $r_{500}$, that is itself obtained from the lensing analysis, yields $σ_{lnM_{WL}|L_{K}}=10^{+7}_{-5}\%$ and $b=0.97^{+0.17}_{-0.17}$. We also find that selecting members based on their (J-K) colours instead of spectroscopic redshifts neither increases the scatter nor modifies the slope. Overall our results indicate that near-infrared luminosity measured on scales comparable with $r_{500}$ (typically 1Mpc for our sample) is a low scatter and relatively inexpensive proxy for weak-lensing mass. Near-infrared luminosity may therefore be a useful mass proxy for cluster cosmology experiments.

description: Due to the unique physical-layer characteristics associated with MIMO and cognitive radio (CR), the network performance is tightly coupled with mechanisms at the physical, link, network, and transport layers. In this paper, we consider an energy-efficient cross-layer optimization problem in multihop MIMO CR networks. The objective is to balance the weighted network utility and weighted power consumption of SU sessions, with a minimum PU transmission rate constraint and SU power consumption constraints. However, this problem is highly challenging due to the nonconvex PU rate constraint. We propose a solution that features linearization-based alternative optimization method and a heuristic primal recovery method. We further develop a distributed algorithm to jointly optimize covariance matrix at each transmitting SU node, bandwidth allocation at each SU link, rate control at each session source and multihop/multi-path routing. Extensive simulation results demonstrate that the performance of the proposed distributed algorithm is close to that of the centralized algorithm, and the proposed framework provides an efficient way to significantly save power consumption, while achieving the network utility very close to that achieved with full power consumption.

description: Since the ‘70s, the issue of creativity has been at the heart of the European debate. Many documents have been produced about creativity, most of which are analyzed in this paper. Creativity has been intended as a strategy of integration and as the basis for innovation, both in cultural and economic development. In particolar, with the project of reform of organization of work known as "humanisation of work", the goal was to improve the living and working conditions of all European workers. Then, with the Lisbon Strategy and its later raises, creativity has been assigned the task of giving a certain dynamism to the market plagued by a series of economic crises, only to be drawn into old and new economy's problems.

description: In the context of a simple five-dimensional (5D) model with bulk matter coupled to a brane-localized Higgs boson, we point out a new non-commutativity in the 4D calculation of the mass spectrum for excited fermion towers: the obtained expression depends on the choice in ordering the limits, N->infinity (infinite Kaluza-Klein tower) and epsilon->0 (epsilon being the parameter introduced for regularizing the Higgs Dirac peak). This introduces the physical question of which one is the correct order; we then show that the two possible orders of regularization (called I and II) are physically equivalent, as both can typically reproduce the measured observables, but that the one with less degrees of freedom (I) could be uniquely excluded by future experimental constraints. This conclusion is based on the exact matching between the 4D and 5D analytical calculations of the mass spectrum - via the regularizations of type I and II. Beyond a deeper insight into the Higgs peak regularizations, this matching also allows us to confirm the validity of the usual 5D mixed-formalism and to clarify the UV cut-off procedure. All the conclusions, deduced from regularizing the Higgs peak through a brane shift or a smoothed square profile, are expected to remain similar in realistic models with a warped extra-dimension.

description: At the core of an ideal single photon detector is an active material that ideally absorbs and converts photons to discriminable electronic signals. A large active material volume favours high-efficiency absorption, but often at the expense of conversion efficiency, noise, speed and timing accuracy. The present work demonstrates how the concept of coherent perfect absorption can be used to relax this trade-off for a waveguide-integrated superconducting nanowire single photon detector. A very short (8.5$μ$m long) and narrow (8$\times$35nm$^2$) U-shaped NbTiN nanowire atop a silicon-on-insulator waveguide is turned into a perfect absorber by etching an asymmetric nanobeam cavity around it. At 2.05K, the detectors show $\sim$96$\pm$12% on-chip quantum efficiency for 1545nm photons with an intrinsic dark count rate $

description: Bacteria and Archaea have evolved a variety of antiphage immune systems including the well-known Restriction-Modification (RM) and CRISPR-Cas, and several recently discovered systems. Nevertheless, which traits are shared between these systems and how their diversity is originated are underexplored questions. Thus, we sought to compare the immune system family diversity using a robust sequence similarity approach and a network to analysis. The immune systems were predicted using Defense-Finder followed by a robust sequence comparison of all-vs-all immune system sequences (instances) using HH-suite. A network was built, the properties of the network were determined, and the protein domains associated to the systems were identified. We obtained a network of 15,289 nodes (instances) distributed among 82 immune system families. The network highlighted several conserved traits shared between instances belonging to different families and one big cluster containing ~90% of the instances of 45 immune system families. These families comprise the most known family RM as well as the less widely distributed CBASS, BREX, Lamassu, Gabija, and Wadjet families. The network centrality analysis showed that the median of the instances belongs to RM type I, Hachiman and PsyrTA families being the most central in the network. In contrast, several of the newly reported families such as Thoeris, Druantia and Zorya among others are distributed in the network peripheral region. We found that more than 80% of the relationship revealed in the network reflect at least one known shared protein domain related to DNA metabolism such as helicases and nucleases. Our results show that behind the prokaryotic immune system diversity, there are several conserved traits. We also show the importance of RM type I to support the network of 45 immune systems, suggesting this type of RM could be key in the generation of the observed diversity.

description: In this paper we present a fixed point property for amenable hypergroups which is analogous to Rickert's fixed point theorem for semigroups. It equates the existence of a left invariant mean on the space of weakly right uniformly continuous functions to the existence of a fixed point for any action of the hypergroup. Using this fixed point property, a certain class of hypergroups are shown to have a left Haar measure.

description: Improvements in the precision of available instruments have led to advancements in exoplanet detection and characterization over the past two decades. However, this progress has also resulted in the increased contaminating impact of stellar activity. Among the various stellar activity processes, magnetically active regions, and starspots in particular, stand out as they can be effectively studied through grid-based simulations thanks to their localized nature. Taking advantage of this concept, we enhance the ANTARESS framework by incorporating spots in its implementation of the Rossiter-McLaughlin Revolutions technique, a novel method for analyzing Rossiter-McLaughlin signatures. This technique, which follows a simulation-based approach to modeling observations, can be used to generate 'mock' data. Leveraging this capability, we generate simulated datasets deliberately contaminated by spots. By fitting these data, we can control the inputs and thereby assess the quality of our retrievals, study the degeneracies associated with each parameter, and devise strategies to mitigate them. Additionally, we apply the ANTARESS framework to highly contaminated transit spectroscopy observations of AU Mic b. Although we were unable to perform a full retrieval of the system's bulk properties, our analysis revealed that a two-spot model is necessary to replicate these observations.

description: Introduction: Selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR) consists of microsurgical partial deafferentation of sensory nerve roots (L1-S2). It is primarily used today in decreasing spasticity in young cerebral palsy (CP) patients. Intraoperative monitoring (IOM) is an essential part of the surgical decision-making process, aimed at improving functional results. The role played by SDR-IOM is examined, while realizing that connections between complex EMG responses to nerve-root stimulation and a patient's individual motor ability remain to be clarified. Methods: We conducted this retrospective study, analyzing EMG responses in 146 patients evoked by dorsal-root and rootlet stimulation, applying an objective response-classification system, and investigating the prevalence and distribution of the assessed grades. Part1 describes the clinical setting and SDR procedure, reintroduced in Germany by the senior author in 2007. Results: Stimulation-evoked EMG response patterns revealed significant differences along the segmental levels. More specifically, a comparison of grade 3+4 prevalence showed that higher-graded rootlets were more noticeable at lower nerve root levels (L5, S1), resulting in a typical rostro-caudal anatomical distribution. Conclusions: In view of its prophylactic potential, SDR should be carried out at an early stage in all CP patients suffering from severe spasticity. It is particularly effective when used as an integral part of a coordinated, comprehensive spasticity program in which a team of experts pool their information. The IOM findings pertaining to the anatomical grouping of grades could be of potential importance in adjusting the SDR-IOM intervention to suit the specific individual constellation, pending further validation.

description: We develop a dynamic model of decentralized finance (DeFi) lending that incorporates two/these key features: 1) borrowing and lending are decentralized, anonymous, overcollateralized and backed by the market value of crypto assets where contract terms are pre-specified and rigid; and 2) information friction exists between borrowers and lenders. We identify a price-liquidity feedback: the market outcome in any given period depends on agents’ expectations about lending activities in future periods, with higher price expectations leading to more lending and higher prices in that period. Given the rigidity inherent to smart contracts, this feedback leads to multiple self-fulfilling equilibria where DeFi lending and asset prices move with market sentiment. We show that flexible updates of smart contracts can restore equilibrium uniqueness. This finding highlights the difficulty of achieving stability and efficiency in a decentralized environment without a liquidity backstop.
description: Nous élaborons un modèle dynamique du crédit octroyé par l’entremise de la finance décentralisée qui intègre ces principales caractéristiques : 1) les emprunts et les prêts sont décentralisés, sont anonymes, font l’objet d’un surnantissement et sont garantis par la valeur marchande des cryptoactifs dans le cadre d’un contrat dont les modalités sont préétablies et rigides; 2) il y a une asymétrie d’information entre les emprunteurs et les prêteurs. Nous constatons un effet de rétroaction entre les prix et la liquidité : l’évolution du marché durant une période donnée dépend des attentes des agents à l’égard des activités de prêt dans l’avenir, et des attentes de prix plus élevées entraînent une augmentation des prêts et des prix au cours de cette période. Compte tenu de la rigidité des contrats intelligents, cet effet de rétroaction mène à de multiples situations d’équilibre autoréalisateur dans lesquelles le crédit par la finance décentralisée et les prix des actifs s’alignent sur l’humeur du marché. Nous montrons que des révisions souples de contrats intelligents peuvent rétablir l’unicité de l’équilibre. Cette constatation fait ressortir la difficulté d’atteindre la stabilité et l’efficience dans un environnement décentralisé qui n’offre pas de facilité de liquidité.

description: An adult female, entire domestic rat (Rattus norvegicus forma domestica) presented with swollen auricles and incoordination. The rat was diagnosed with bilateral otitis externa. Radiographs of the skull revealed bilateral otitis externa/media. Bacterial culture of a swap from the external ear canals identified large numbers of Pasteurella pneumotropica as well as fewer Streptococcus merionis, Bacteroides fragilis and Fusobacterium spp. Microscopic examination of a deep skin scraping and a core needle biopsy of the pinnae diagnosed lymphoma. The animal was euthanased after being treated unsuccessfully symptomatically for 10 days. Postmortem examination revealed a cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, mycosis fungoides, associated with bilateral otitis externa/media and metastases into several lymph nodes, thymus and lungs. Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma has not been reported in pet rats to date. Lymphoma should be considered as a differential diagnosis in rats presented with swelling of the pinnae.

description: The impact of electromagnetic stabilization and flow shear stabilization on ITG turbulence is investigated. Analysis of a low-$β$ JET L-mode discharge illustrates the relation between ITG stabilization, and proximity to the electromagnetic instability threshold. This threshold is reduced by suprathermal pressure gradients, highlighting the effectiveness of fast ions in ITG stabilization. Extensive linear and nonlinear gyrokinetic simulations are then carried out for the high-$β$ JET hybrid discharge 75225, at two separate locations at inner and outer radii. It is found that at the inner radius, nonlinear electromagnetic stabilization is dominant, and is critical for achieving simulated heat fluxes in agreement with the experiment. The enhancement of this effect by suprathermal pressure also remains significant. It is also found that flow shear stabilization is not effective at the inner radii. However, at outer radii the situation is reversed. Electromagnetic stabilization is negligible while the flow shear stabilization is significant. These results constitute the high-$β$ generalization of comparable observations found at low-$β$ at JET. This is encouraging for the extrapolation of electromagnetic ITG stabilization to future devices. An estimation of the impact of this effect on the ITER hybrid scenario leads to a 20% fusion power improvement.

description: Introduction: Spinal reflexes reorganize in cerebral palsy (CP), producing hyperreflexia and spasticity. CP is more common among male infants, and gender might also influence brain and spinal-cord reorganization. This retrospective study investigated the frequency of higher-graded EMG responses elicited by electrical nerve-root stimulation during selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR), prior to partial nerve- root deafferentation, considering not only segmental level and body side, but also gender. Methods: Intraoperative neuromonitoring (IOM) was used in SDR to pinpoint the rootlets most responsible for exacerbated stimulation-evoked EMG patterns recorded from lower-limb muscle groups. Responses were graded according to an objective response-classification system, ranging from no abnormalities (grade 0) to highly abnormal (grade 4+), based on ipsilateral spread and contralateral involvement. Non-parametric analysis of data with repeated measures was primarily used in investigating the frequency distribution of these various EMG response grades. Over 7000 rootlets were stimulated, and the results for 65 girls and 81 boys were evaluated, taking changes in the composition of patient groups into account when considering GMFCS levels. Results: The distribution of graded EMG responses varied according to gender, laterality, and level. Higher-graded EMG responses were markedly more frequent in the boys and at lower segmental levels (L5, S1). Left-biased asymmetry in higher-graded rootlets was also more noticeable in the boys and in patients with GMFCS level I. A close link was observed between higher-grade assessments and left-biased asymmetry. Conclusions: Detailed insight into the patient's initial spinal-neurofunctional state prior to deafferentation suggests that differences in asymmetrical spinal reorganization might be attributable to a hemispheric imbalance.

description: Methods that are devised to achieve reversal of quantum dynamics in time have been named “quatum time mirrors.” Such a time mirror can be considered as a generalization of Hahn's spin echo to systems with continuous degrees of freedom. We extend the quantum time mirror protocol originally proposed for Dirac dispersions to arbitrary two-band systems and establish the general requirements for its efficient implementation. We further discuss its sensitivity to various nonhomogeneous perturbations including disorder potentials and the effect of external static magnetic and electric fields. Our general statements are verified for a number of exemplary Hamiltonians, whose phase-coherent dynamics are studied both analytically and numerically. The Hamiltonians considered can be used to describe the low-energy properties of systems as diverse as cold atom-optics setups, direct band gap semiconductors, or (mono- or bilayer) graphene. We discuss the consequences of many-body effects at a qualitative level, and consider the protocol feasibility in state-of-the-art experimental setups.

description: Certain postmortem case constellations require intensive investigation of the pattern of drug use over a long period before death. Hair analysis of illicit drugs has been investigated intensively over past decades, but there is a lack of comprehensive data on hair concentrations for antidepressants, antipsychotics, and benzodiazepines. This study aimed to obtain data for these substances. A LC-MS/MS method was developed and validated for detection of 52 antidepressants, antipsychotics, benzodiazepines, and metabolites in hair. Hair samples from 442 postmortem cases at the Institute of Legal Medicine of the Charité-University Medicine Berlin were analyzed. Postmortem hair concentrations of 49 analytes were obtained in 420 of the cases. Hair sample segmentation was possible in 258 cases, and the segments were compared to see if the concentrations decreased or increased. Descriptive statistical data are presented for the segmented and non-segmented cases combined (n = 420) and only the segmented cases (n = 258). An overview of published data for the target substances in hair is given. Metabolite/parent drug ratios were investigated for 10 metabolite/parent drug pairs. Cases were identified that had positive findings in hair, blood, urine, and organ tissue. The comprehensive data on postmortem hair concentrations for antidepressants, antipsychotics, and benzodiazepines may help other investigators in their casework. Postmortem hair analysis results provide valuable information on the drug intake history before death. Pattern changes can indicate if drug intake stopped or increased before death. Results should be interpreted carefully and preferably include segmental analysis and metabolite/parent drug ratios to exclude possible contamination.

description: The performance of remote estimation over wireless channel is strongly affected by sensor data losses due to interference. Although the impact of interference can be alleviated by performing spectrum sensing and then transmitting only when the channel is clear, the introduction of spectrum sensing also incurs extra energy expenditure. In this paper, we investigate the problem of energy efficient spectrum sensing for state estimation of a general linear dynamic system, and formulate an optimization problem which minimizes the total sensor energy consumption while guaranteeing a desired level of estimation performance. The optimal solution is evaluated through both analytical and simulation results.

description: In the current document the scenarios and use cases that will drive the testing and validation program are defined according to the introduced methodology. A list of hazards (i.e. Flood, Earthquake, Fire, Industrial accident, Terror attack) is considered and each overarching scenario is defined to address one of them describing a disaster which is originated naturally or it is man-made. Each use case is addressing a scenario, while more than one use cases may address the same scenario. A set of actors are involved in the evolution of events described in each use case while each use case targets specific goals to accomplish facilitated by specified INGENIOUS tools and services. The pathway to a more elaborated description of the use cases is provided. Furthermore, a first introduction to the validation and testing methodology is given along with the planning for the laboratory (LIT) and field (SST, FSX) tests which will consider and illustrate the use cases described.

description: Calyxochaetus syilx sp. nov.
(Figs 38, 67, 71)
Type material. HOLOTYPE ♂, labeled: “ Tonasket, WN./ 7-16-1960 ”; “HOLOTYPE/ Calyxochaetus / syilx / J.B. Runyon [red label]” (CAS) (Fig. 67).
Diagnosis. This species is most similar to C. clavicornis but males are distinguished by the arista-like stylus having a wider apical lamella with nearly straight ventral margin (cf. Figs 30 and 38), foreleg with tarsomeres 3 and 4 subequal in length (tarsomere 3 is 1.4X length of tarsomere 4 in C. clavicornis), wing with anal lobe broader at base and forming distinct angle, and distal section of M 4 about 3X longer than crossvein dm-m (4X longer in C. clavicornis).
Description. Male: Wing length 2.5 mm. Similar to C. clavicornis except as noted: Head: Arista-like stylus (Fig. 38) with apical lamella wider, with ventral margin straight, not concave. Legs: Foreleg: Tarsomeres 3 and 4 subequal in length. Wing: Anal lobe broader at base, forming distinct angle (similar to C. arizonicus, Fig. 56). Distal section of M 4 about 3X longer than crossvein dm-m.
Female. Unknown.
Distribution and seasonal occurrence. Known only from the holotype male, collected in mid-July in northcentral Washington State, USA (Fig. 71).
Etymology. Named in honor of the Syilx (pronounced see-yilks), First Nations and Native American people whose traditional territory spans the Canada – USA border in Washington state and British Columbia (Okanogan Country). The type locality is named after Chief Tonasket, leader of the American Syilx after the Oregon Treaty of 1846. The species name is considered a noun in apposition.

Syn-tectonic melt-rock interaction and complex geochronology, Entia Dome: nature and experiments
Creators: name: Asimus, Jeremy
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Across all scales, fluid-rock interactions facilitate metamorphism, increase chemical mobility, disturb geochronological systems and change the rheological properties of rocks. In regions affected by fluid activity, determining the nature of fluid-rock interaction, i.e., fluid type (aqueous fluid or silicate melt), scale of fluid migration and the proceeding reactions, is required to better understand the region's geological history. The Entia Dome in central Australia is well-studied, but lack of a comprehensive understanding of fluid-rock interaction has limited previous interpretations. This thesis uses microstructures to implicate silicate melt as the key fluid present during dome formation. Syn-tectonic melt migration, reaction and metasomatism in major shear zones modified the chemistry of precursor rocks. Melt-rock interaction at the mineral scale modified zircons via coupled dissolution-precipitation and disturbed their U-Pb ages. Although, new apatite U-Pb dates (~312 Ma) confirm the Carboniferous age of doming. This study finds tectonic extrusion of melt-weakened lower crust is critical in forming the extensional dome structure during the contractional Alice Springs Orogeny. We further demonstrate that fluid-rock interaction is intimately tied to all aspects of the Entia Dome's formation. Therefore, it is essential that fluid-rock interactions at all scales are considered when building robust histories of geological regions.

description: Researchers or students entering a emerging research area are particularly interested in what newly published papers will be most cited and which young researchers will become influential in the future, so that they can catch the most recent advances and find valuable research directions. However, predicting the future importance of scientific articles and authors is challenging due to the dynamic nature of literature networks and evolving research topics. Different from most previous studies aiming to rank the current importance of literatures and authors, we focus on \emph{ranking the future popularity of new publications and young researchers} by proposing a unified ranking model to combine various available information. Specifically, we first propose to extract two kinds of text features, words and words co-occurrence to characterize innovative papers and authors. Then, instead of using static and un-weighted graphs, we construct time-aware weighted graphs to distinguish the various importance of links established at different time. Finally, by leveraging both the constructed text features and graphs, we propose a mutual reinforcement ranking framework called \emph{MRFRank} to rank the future importance of papers and authors simultaneously. Experimental results on the ArnetMiner dataset show that the proposed approach significantly outperforms the baselines on the metric \emph{recommendation intensity}.

Abstract - Risk Assessment, Bioethics, and Project Management in Pharmacy

description: Risk is an unavoidable truth and government offices, intentional and business associations are liable to some type of risk. Indeed, even with rigid administrative controls are emergency clinic and local area pharmacies not resistant from dangers of risk. Studies of bioethics challenge predominant conceptualizations of morals as global regularising standards. They observationally point out that ethics are profoundly logical, operating distinctively across local settings as actors make daily decisions. Practice is oftentimes coordinated around projects, and projects could be regarded as a work approach to fundamentally identify or tackle issues. A project could be the presentation of a new pharmacy service such as smoking ending, or experimenting with a novel method of communication for a particular patient group in the pharmacy for instance migraine patients.
Synchronization of interconnected networks: the role of connector nodes

description: In this Letter we identify the general rules that determine the synchronization properties of interconnected networks. We study analytically, numerically and experimentally how the degree of the nodes through which two networks are connected influences the ability of the whole system to synchronize. We show that connecting the high-degree (low-degree) nodes of each network turns out to be the most (least) effective strategy to achieve synchronization. We find the functional relation between synchronizability and size for a given network-of-networks, and report the existence of the optimal connector link weights for the different interconnection strategies. Finally, we perform an electronic experiment with two coupled star networks and conclude that the analytical results are indeed valid in the presence of noise and parameter mismatches.

description: We propose and experimentally verify a method to program the effective transmission matrix of general multiport linear optical circuits in random multiple-scattering materials by phase modulation of incident wavefronts. We demonstrate the power of our method by programming linear optical circuits in white paint layers with 2 inputs and 2 outputs, and 2 inputs and 3 outputs. Using interferometric techniques we verify our ability to program any desired phase relation between the outputs. The method works in a deterministic manner and can be directly applied to existing wavefront-shaping setups without the need of measuring a transmission matrix or to rely on sensitive interference measurements.
