description: Novel sulfaguanidines incorporating acridine moiety were synthesized by the reaction of cyclohexane-1,3-dione, sulfaguanidine, and aromatic aldehydes. Synthesis of these compounds was performed in water at room temperature, and their structures were confirmed by using spectral analysis (IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, and HRMS). Human carbonic anhydrase isoenzymes (hCA I and II) were purified from erythrocyte cells with affinity chromatography. hCA I was purified 83.40-fold with a specific activity, 1060.9 EU mg protein−1, and hCA II was purified 262.32-fold with a specific activity, 3336.8 EU mg protein−1. The inhibitory effects of newly synthesized sulfaguanidines and acetazolamide, (AAZ) as a control compound, on hydratase and esterase activities of these isoenzymes have been studied in vitro. Synthesized compounds have moderate inhibition potentials on hCA I and hCA II isoenzymes. IC50 values of compounds for esterase activity are in the range of 118.4 ± 7.0 μM–257.5 ± 5.2 μM for hCA I and 86.7 ± 3.0 μM–249.4 ± 10.2 μM for hCA II, respectively.

description: Eight known abietane diterpenes (1–8) were isolated for the first time from Abies numidica cones (Pinaceae). The structures of all compounds were established by means of 1D and 2D NMR, and UV spectral analyses. The hydromethanolic extract of A. numidica cones was tested for its antimicrobial activity against 17 gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria and against five yeasts by the use of liquid and solid medium and bioautography methods. The best antimicrobial activity was found against gram-positive bacteria (MIC ≤ 0.3 mg/mL) Bacillus subtilis, Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 1034, Staphylococcus aureus 8325.4, S. aureus CIP 53.154, Micrococcus luteus and Listeria innocua and against Candida yeasts. The determination of MIC’s of isolated products showed a high activity of compounds 4 and 6 against S. aureus, L. innocua (MIC = 62.5 μg/mL) and E. faecalis (MIC = 125 μg/mL).

description: We consider rational integrable supersymmetric gl(m|n) spin chains in the defining representation and prove the isomorphism between a commutative algebra of conserved charges (the Bethe algebra) and a polynomial ring (the Wronskian algebra) defined by functional relations between Baxter Q-functions that we call Wronskian Bethe equations. These equations, in contrast to standard nested Bethe equations, admit only physical solutions for any value of inhomogeneities and furthermore we prove that the algebraic number of solutions to these equations is equal to the dimension of the spin chain Hilbert space (modulo relevant symmetries). Both twisted and twist-less periodic boundary conditions are considered, the isomorphism statement uses, as a sufficient condition, that the spin chain inhomogeneities $θ_\ell$, $\ell=1,\ldots,L$ satisfy $θ_\ell+\hbar\neqθ_{\ell'}$ for $\ell

description: El acompañamiento tutorial, en los últimos años, ha venido cobrando relevancia debido a la implicancia que tiene en el desempeño socioemocional y académico de los estudiantes, es por ello que muchas universidades diseñan planes institucionales que permiten a sus estudiantes fortalecer habilidades y capacidades. En ese sentido, el presente estudio pretende conocer cuáles son las percepciones que tiene un grupo de 30 estudiantes, entre 15 y 18 años, provenientes del interior del país, respecto a las actividades desarrolladas en el programa tutorial del semestre 2014-1. Se empleó un diseño cualitativo de tipo fenomenológico, y para la recolección de datos se emplearon grupos focales y técnicas proyectivas. Los resultados indican que el programa tutorial es concebido por los estudiantes como un espacio de apoyo, escucha que favorece al proceso de adaptación a la vida universitaria, aunque, también, señalan que éste debe ajustarse de acuerdo a las constantes necesidades del grupo.
Tutorial support has become more relevant in recent years because of its implications on the socio-emotional and academic performance of students. Consequently, many universities are implementing institutional plans designed to enable students to strengthen their skills and abilities. In that sense, the study seeks to examine the perception of a group of 30 inland students, between the ages of 15 and 18, with respect to the activities developed during the 2014-1 tutorial program. A qualitative phenomenological design was used, as well as focus groups and projective techniques for the data collection process. The results indicate that students view the tutorial program as a space for support and attention, which contributes to the college-life adjustment process; however, they indicate that it should be adapted to the group’s ever-changing needs.

description: This paper presents the results of a research study conducted to determine perceptions of student teachers, co-operating teachers, school administrators, and supervisors concerning the responsibilities, skills, and attitudes of university supervisors toward special education field experienccs. Results indicate that student teachers expect more from their university supervisors then do cooperating teachers. It is believed that a better comprehension of the multifaceted aspects of university supervisors' tasks and a better understanding of all participants expectations toward the supervisors would lead to a more positive field experience and greater collaboration between stakeholders.

description: Effective triage is critical to mitigating the effect of increased volume by accurately determining patient acuity, need for resources, and establishing effective acuity-based patient prioritization. The purpose of this retrospective study was to determine whether historical EHR data can be extracted and synthesized with clinical natural language processing (C-NLP) and the latest ML algorithms (KATE) to produce highly accurate ESI predictive models. An ML model (KATE) for the triage process was developed using 166,175 patient encounters from two participating hospitals. The model was then tested against a gold set that was derived from a random sample of triage encounters at the study sites and correct acuity assignments were recorded by study clinicians using the Emergency Severity Index (ESI) standard as a guide. At the two study sites, KATE predicted accurate ESI acuity assignments 75.9% of the time, compared to nurses (59.8%) and average individual study clinicians (75.3%). KATE accuracy was 26.9% higher than the average nurse accuracy (p-value < 0.0001). On the boundary between ESI 2 and ESI 3 acuity assignments, which relates to the risk of decompensation, KATE was 93.2% higher with 80% accuracy, compared to triage nurses with 41.4% accuracy (p-value < 0.0001). KATE provides a triage acuity assignment substantially more accurate than the triage nurses in this study sample. KATE operates independently of contextual factors, unaffected by the external pressures that can cause under triage and may mitigate the racial and social biases that can negatively affect the accuracy of triage assignment. Future research should focus on the impact of KATE providing feedback to triage nurses in real time, KATEs impact on mortality and morbidity, ED throughput, resource optimization, and nursing outcomes.

Native People and the Social Work Profession: A Critical Exploration of Colonizing Problematics and the Development of Decolonized Thought
Creators: name: Waterfall, Barbara
Publisher: name: Journal of Educational Thought / Revue de la Pensée Educative
Year: 2018

description: This paper reflects a beginning discussion about the relationship between the social work profession and Native Peoples living in the space of colonial Canada. It examines the characteristics of Eurocentrism, historical and ongoing colonial processes, and implicates the profession of social work as a co-ionizing practice. The reader is cautioned to seriously reflect on the current political context in which Native self-government initiatives are being realized from the standpoint of examining the case of Native Child Welfare. Native people are encouraged to disengage from current neo-colonial and constitutional colonial politics in favor of advocating and working toward decolonized anticolonial initiatives. Native university programs are viewed as one site for the development of anti-colonial consciousness.

description: The focus of this paper is two-fold: to what extent do schools need to address computer technology and what strategies could be employed to maximize the benefits and minimize the difficulties in integrating computer technology into the current educational framework. It advocates the incorporation of computer technology into the educational practices of classroom teachers recognizing that computers are merely tools which can be utilized effectively by well-informed practitioners. It employs basic change theory in a discussion centering on managing and coping with change. Particularly, it encourages educators to make an orientational change to ensure that technology is used in "new" ways rather than simply to replace "old" tools.

description: The deformation and breakup of droplets in air flows is important in many applications of spray and atomization processes. However, the shear effect of airflow has never been reported. In this study, the deformation and breakup of droplets in the shear flow of air is investigated experimentally using high-speed imaging, digital image processing, and particle image velocimetry. We identify a new breakup mode of droplets, i.e., the butterfly breakup, in which the strong aerodynamic pressure on the lower part of the droplet leads to the deflection of the droplet and then the formation of a butterfly-shaped bag. A regime map of the droplet breakup is produced, and the transitions between different modes are obtained based on scaling analysis. The elongation and the fragmentation of the droplet rim are analyzed, and the results show that they are significantly affected by the shear via the formation and the growth of nodes on the rim.

Exploring Addition-Subtraction Chains
Creators: name: Binmahfoudh, Faisal
Publisher: name: Carnegie Mellon University
Year: 2024
Subjects: Theoretical Computer Science

description: In this thesis, we will look into how can we generate addition-subtraction chains using generalized continued fraction. The algorithm that was proposed by Tall et all in 2013 and it is an extension of an algorithm for generating addition chains using continued fraction. The algorithm proposed uses generalized continued fraction, however, it does not show a method on generating a generalized continued fraction or any other heuristics. In this thesis we propose some heuristics that can be applied in generating generalized continued fraction. In chapter 1, we give an overview of exponentiation algorithms that can be used to generate addition-subtraction chains and some theoritical results. In chapter 2, we will look into known algorithms that attempt in generating short addition chains. In chapter 3, we will look into addition-subtraction chains and present our contribution, followed by a discussion on future work and conclusion.

description: In this paper, we contribute to the study of topological partition relations for pairs of countable ordinals and prove that, for all integers $n \geq 3$, \begin{align*} R^{cl}(ω+n,3) &\geq ω^2 \cdot n + ω\cdot (R(n,3)-n)+n\\ R^{cl}(ω+n,3) &\leq ω^2 \cdot n + ω\cdot (R(2n-3,3)+1)+1 \end{align*} where $R^{cl}(\cdot,\cdot)$ and $R(\cdot,\cdot)$ denote the closed Ramsey numbers and the classical Ramsey numbers respectively. We also establish the following asymptotically weaker upper bound \[ R^{cl}(ω+n,3) \leq ω^2 \cdot n + ω\cdot (n^2-4)+1\] eliminating the use of Ramsey numbers. These results improve the previously known upper and lower bounds.
Innovative application of sheath-flow probe electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry to direct forensic identification of drugs and drug metabolites

description: A number of drugs have medicinal uses but are also taken recreationally, and besides that, they may be abused or misused. Drug abuse commonly causes addiction, substantial health risks, and antisocial behaviours associated with crimes. Accordingly, a wide range of drugs are regulated under national and international control. While they continue to be regulated, they may be required to undergo a variety of analytical evaluations based on their control status. Analysis of controlled substances, including drugs and drug metabolites, is an area of forensic science where an analytical study is required in such a scenario to determine if they are present or not. A variety of analyses are necessary to do this for forensic purposes, all of which must adhere to sufficient scientific criteria. However, the analytical techniques are insufficient to analyse unspecified or contaminated forensic evidence containing biological materials and/or illegal substances, such as drugs, directly after collection with a short analytical sample run. Moreover, many techniques are destructive, expensive, and time-consuming, even though powerful analytical tools such as forensic mass spectrometry and spectroscopy, which provide high sensitivity and reliability, have been applied. This study demonstrates the capability of an ambient ionisation mass spectrometry technique to identify drugs and drug metabolites directly from body fluids or fingerprints. The development and application of a continuous sheath-flow probe electrospray ionisation (sfPESI) enabled drugs and drug metabolites to be extracted directly from dried blood spots or forensic gel-lifted latent fingerprints in-situ. The key benefit of utilising sfPESI was that the analytes of interest (e.g., cocaine metabolites, zolpidem, etc.) were effectively separated from complex background and contaminants by the rapid sequential ionisation characteristics exhibited by sfPESI. This technique enables the in-situ analysis of body fluids as well as controlled substances inside complex matrices, such as biological stains and fingerprints, in a short period of time, approximately 30 seconds per test. The method is low-cost and requires no prior sample preparation; therefore, correlation with forensic investigation of unspecified materials may be rapidly confirmed through sfPESI-MS analysis. Furthermore, the application of sfPESI-MS can provide a minimally destructive process confirming the identity of suspected evidence at a crime scene with high-throughput and less damage to samples, regardless of physical sample types.

description: Lifelong learning and adaptability are two defining aspects of biological agents. Modern reinforcement learning (RL) approaches have shown significant progress in solving complex tasks, however once training is concluded, the found solutions are typically static and incapable of adapting to new information or perturbations. While it is still not completely understood how biological brains learn and adapt so efficiently from experience, it is believed that synaptic plasticity plays a prominent role in this process. Inspired by this biological mechanism, we propose a search method that, instead of optimizing the weight parameters of neural networks directly, only searches for synapse-specific Hebbian learning rules that allow the network to continuously self-organize its weights during the lifetime of the agent. We demonstrate our approach on several reinforcement learning tasks with different sensory modalities and more than 450K trainable plasticity parameters. We find that starting from completely random weights, the discovered Hebbian rules enable an agent to navigate a dynamical 2D-pixel environment; likewise they allow a simulated 3D quadrupedal robot to learn how to walk while adapting to morphological damage not seen during training and in the absence of any explicit reward or error signal in less than 100 timesteps. Code is available at https://github.com/enajx/HebbianMetaLearning.

For an open subset $Ω\subset\mathbb{R}^N$ and a Banach space $V$, we compare the classical Sobolev space $W^{1,p}(Ω, V)$ with the so-called Sobolev-Reshetnyak space $R^{1,p}(Ω, V)$. We see that, in general, $W^{1,p}(Ω, V)$ is a closed subspace of $R^{1,p}(Ω, V)$. As a main result, we obtain that $W^{1,p}(Ω, V)=R^{1,p}(Ω, V)$ if, and only if, the Banach space $V$ has the Radon-Nikodým property

description: Flat-band systems are a promising platform for realizing exotic collective ground states with spontaneously broken symmetry because the electron-electron interactions dominate over the kinetic energy. A collective ground state of particular interest is the chased after exciton condensate (EC). However, in flat band systems other collective ground states can compete with an EC phase, and the conventional treatment of the effect of thermal and quantum fluctuations predicts the EC phase should be unstable. Here, using double twisted bilayer graphene (TBLG) heterostructures as an example, we show that for realistic interaction strengths the EC phase is favored with respect to other TBLG's phases -- orbital magnetism and superconductivity -- when the TBLGs have opposite doping, and that the quantum metric of the Bloch wave functions stabilizes the EC, reversing the conclusion that would be drawn from the conventional approach in which quantum metric contributions are neglected. Our results suggest that the quantum metric plays a critical role in determining the stability of exciton condensates in double layers formed by systems with flat-bands.

description: Este artículo explora la integración de conceptos de alquimia y química moderna en los arquetipos de la corte del tarot, centrando el análisis en el equilibrio ácido-base y su correspondencia con las figuras del tarot. En este enfoque, los Reyes y Caballeros representan ácidos y bases, los cuales, al encontrarse, se neutralizan para formar sales y agua, manifestando así un equilibrio químico en el nivel simbólico. Las Reinas representan diferentes tipos de aguas alquímicas, reflejando la naturaleza única de cada palo, mientras que las Sotas encarnan la sal generada de la neutralización entre los ácidos de los Reyes y las bases de los Caballeros. Utilizando el sistema de elementos presocráticos (fuego, aire, agua y tierra), este análisis reinterpreta las figuras de la corte, vinculando los arquetipos del tarot con reacciones químicas y principios alquímicos. Este enfoque aporta una dimensión nueva y rica a la comprensión de las cartas de la corte, fusionando simbología mística con una estructura científica y alquímica, y ofreciendo una visión única de la corte como laboratorio alquímico.

description: We study the asymptotic properties of kinks in connection with the deformation procedure. We show that, upon deformation of the field-theoretic model, the asymptotics of kinks can change or remain unchanged, depending on the properties of the deforming function. The cases of both explicit and implicit kinks are considered. In addition, we show that the the deformation procedure can be applied to the important case of implicit kinks. We also prove that for any kink with a power-law tail, the stability potential decreases as the inverse square of the coordinate. The physical consequences of the deformation are discussed: the change of the kink mass, as well as the asymptotic behavior of the kink-antikink force.

Organization Model of a Constructivist Leaming Community: A Teilhardian Metaphor for Educators
Creators: name: White, Stephen R.
Publisher: name: Journal of Educational Thought / Revue de la Pensée Educative
Year: 2018

description: Within educational thought there are interests to advance constructivist learning and to conceptualize educational organizations as learning communities. At the convergence of these notions is the organizational foundation for a constructivist learning community model. The objective of this article is to provide a metaphor of a constructivist learning community organization. The metaphor is grounded on French scientist and philosopher Pierre Teilhard de Chardin's (1881-1955) theory of evolution. The study asserts that Teilhardian thought is beneficial for conceptualizing a constructivist learning community. Uniquely, extracted Teilhardian concepts are congruent with many notions of constructivism and learning community organization. Thus Teilhardianism is an intellectually fertile platform for the development of a constructivist learning community metaphor.

description: We propose a way of understanding homological mirror symmetry when a complex manifold is a smooth compact toric manifold. So far, in many example, the derived category $D^b(coh(X))$ of coherent sheaves on a toric manifold $X$ is compared with the Fukaya-Seidel category of the Milnor fiber of the corresponding Landau-Ginzburg potential. We instead consider the dual torus fibration $π:M \to B$ of the complement of the toric divisors in $X$, where $\bar{B}$ is the dual polytope of the toric manifold $X$. A natural formulation of homological mirror symmetry in this set-up is to define $Fuk(\bar{M})$ a variant of the Fukaya category and show the equivalence $D^b(coh(X)) \simeq D^b(Fuk(\bar{M}))$. As an intermediate step, we construct the category $Mo(P)$ of weighted Morse homotopy on $P:=\bar{B}$ as a natural generalization of the weighted Fukaya-Oh category proposed by Kontsevich-Soibelman. We then show a full subcategory $Mo_{\mathcal{E}}(P)$ of $Mo(P)$ generates $D^b(coh(X))$ for the cases $X$ is a complex projective space and their products.

Eternalism and Perspectival Realism about the 'Now'
Creators: name: Slavov, Matias
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: History and Philosophy of Physics (physics.hist-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Eternalism is the view that all times are equally real. The relativity of simultaneity in special relativity backs this up. There is no cosmically extended, self-existing 'now'. This leads to a tricky problem. What makes statements about the present true? I shall approach the problem along the lines of perspectival realism and argue that the choice of the perspective does. To corroborate this point, the Lorentz transformations of special relativity are compared to the structurally similar equations of the Doppler effect. The 'now' is perspectivally real in the same way as a particular electromagnetic spectrum frequency. I also argue that the ontology of time licensed by perspectival realism is more credible in this context than its current alternative, the fragmentalist interpretation of special relativity.

description: Light field (LF) imaging has gained significant attention due to its recent success in 3-dimensional (3D) displaying and rendering as well as augmented and virtual reality usage. Nonetheless, because of the two extra dimensions, LFs are much larger than conventional images. We develop a JPEG-assisted learning-based technique to reconstruct an LF from a JPEG bitstream with a bit per pixel ratio of 0.0047 on average. For compression, we keep the LF's center view and use JPEG compression with 50% quality. Our reconstruction pipeline consists of a small JPEG enhancement network (JPEG-Hance), a depth estimation network (Depth-Net), followed by view synthesizing by warping the enhanced center view. Our pipeline is significantly faster than using video compression on pseudo-sequences extracted from an LF, both in compression and decompression, while maintaining effective performance. We show that with a 1% compression time cost and 18x speedup for decompression, our methods reconstructed LFs have better structural similarity index metric (SSIM) and comparable peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) compared to the state-of-the-art video compression techniques used to compress LFs.
STIL -- Simultaneous Slot Filling, Translation, Intent Classification, and Language Identification: Initial Results using mBART on MultiATIS++

description: Slot-filling, Translation, Intent classification, and Language identification, or STIL, is a newly-proposed task for multilingual Natural Language Understanding (NLU). By performing simultaneous slot filling and translation into a single output language (English in this case), some portion of downstream system components can be monolingual, reducing development and maintenance cost. Results are given using the multilingual BART model (Liu et al., 2020) fine-tuned on 7 languages using the MultiATIS++ dataset. When no translation is performed, mBART's performance is comparable to the current state of the art system (Cross-Lingual BERT by Xu et al. (2020)) for the languages tested, with better average intent classification accuracy (96.07% versus 95.50%) but worse average slot F1 (89.87% versus 90.81%). When simultaneous translation is performed, average intent classification accuracy degrades by only 1.7% relative and average slot F1 degrades by only 1.2% relative.

Schools, Work and Consumption: Education and the Cultural Contradictions of Capitalism
Creators: name: Shapiro, H. Svi
Publisher: name: Journal of Educational Thought / Revue de la Pensée Educative
Year: 2018

description: This paper examines several contemporary social theorists and commentators who have focused on conflicts in contemporary social values and beliefs and have pointed to what has been called the 'cultural contradiction of capitalism.' These contradictions, it is argued, tum on the conflict between traditional notions of bourgeois morality and attitudes, and those that have been spawned by a consumption-oriented capitalism. The paper suggests that it is within this context that many of the problems and predicaments presently faced by schools become comprehensible. School may now constitute the final bulwark for the socialization of the young into the work-oriented, instrumentally-motivated values of traditional bourgeois society. In so doing it has become the public battleground for the struggle to resolve the contradictory nature of culture in contemporary society.

description: In this work, we adapt the epidemiological SIR model to study the evolution of the dissemination of COVID-19 in Germany and Brazil (nationally, in the State of Paraiba, and in the City of Campina Grande). We prove the well posedness and the continuous dependence of the model dynamics on its parameters. We also propose a simple probabilistic method for the evolution of the active cases that is instrumental for the automatic estimation of parameters of the epidemiological model. We obtained statistical estimates of the active cases based the probabilistic method and on the confirmed cases data. From this estimated time series we obtained a time-dependent contagion rate, which reflects a lower or higher adherence to social distancing by the involved populations. By also analysing the data on daily deaths, we obtained the daily lethality and recovery rates. We then integrate the equations of motion of the model using these time-dependent parameters. We validate our epidemiological model by fitting the official data of confirmed, recovered, death, and active cases due to the pandemic with the theoretical predictions. We obtained very good fits of the data with this method. The automated procedure developed here could be used for basically any population with a minimum of extra work. Finally, we also propose and validate a forecasting method based on Markov chains for the evolution of the epidemiological data for up to two weeks.

description: A simple locally accurate uniform approximation for the nodeless wavefunction is constructed for a {\it neutral} system of two Coulomb charges of different masses $(-q,m_1)$ and $(q,m_2)$ at rest in a constant uniform magnetic field for the states of positive and negative parity, ${(1s_0)}$ and ${(2p_0)}$, respectively. It is shown that by keeping the mass and charge of one of the bodies fixed, all systems with different second body masses are related. This allows one to consider the second body as infinitely-massive and to take such a system as basic. Three physical systems are considered in details: the Hydrogen atom with (in)-finitely massive proton (deuteron, triton) and the positronium atom $(-e,e)$. We derive the Riccati-Bloch and Generalized-Bloch equations, which describe the domains of small and large distances, respectively. Based on the interpolation of the small and large distance behavior of the logarithm of the wavefunction, a compact 10-parametric function is proposed. Taken as a variational trial function it provides accuracy of not less than 6 significant digits (s.d.) ($\lesssim 10^{-6}$ in relative deviation) for the total energy in the whole domain of considered magnetic fields $[0\,,\,10^4]$ a.u. and not less than 3 s.d. for the quadrupole moment $Q_{zz}$. In order to get reference points the Lagrange Mesh Method with 16K mesh points was used to get from 10 to 6 s.d. in energy from small to large magnetic fields. Based on the Riccati-Bloch equation the first 100 perturbative coefficients for the energy, in the form of rational numbers, are calculated and, using the Padé-Borel re-summation procedure, the energy is found with not less than 10 s.d. at magnetic fields $\leq 1$\,a.u.

description: Counterfactual Regret Minimization (CFR) has achieved many fascinating results in solving large-scale Imperfect Information Games (IIGs). Neural network approximation CFR (neural CFR) is one of the promising techniques that can reduce computation and memory consumption by generalizing decision information between similar states. Current neural CFR algorithms have to approximate cumulative regrets. However, efficient and accurate approximation in a large-scale IIG is still a tough challenge. In this paper, a new CFR variant, Recursive CFR (ReCFR), is proposed. In ReCFR, Recursive Substitute Values (RSVs) are learned and used to replace cumulative regrets. It is proven that ReCFR can converge to a Nash equilibrium at a rate of $O({1}/{\sqrt{T}})$. Based on ReCFR, a new model-free neural CFR with bootstrap learning, Neural ReCFR-B, is proposed. Due to the recursive and non-cumulative nature of RSVs, Neural ReCFR-B has lower-variance training targets than other neural CFRs. Experimental results show that Neural ReCFR-B is competitive with the state-of-the-art neural CFR algorithms at a much lower training cost.
