description: This paper focuses on the construction of statically admissible stress fields (SA-fields) for a posteriori error estimation. In the context of verification, the recovery of such fields enables to provide strict upper bounds of the energy norm of the discretization error between the known finite element solution and the unavailable exact solution. The reconstruction is a difficult and decisive step insofar as the effectiveness of the estimator strongly depends on the quality of the SA-fields. This paper examines the strong prolongation hypothesis, which is the starting point of the Element Equilibration Technique (EET). We manage to characterize the full space of SA-fields satisfying the prolongation equation so that optimizing inside this space is possible. The computation exploits topological properties of the mesh so that implementation is easy and costs remain controlled. In this paper, we describe the new technique in details and compare it to the classical EET and to the flux-free technique for different 2D mechanical problems. The method is explained on first degree triangular elements, but we show how extensions to different elements and to 3D are straightforward.

description: Background
Pedestrian and bicyclist injury is an important public health issue. The retail environment, particularly the presence of alcohol outlets, may contribute the the risk of pedestrian or bicyclist injury, but this association is poorly understood.

Methods
This study quantifies the spatial risk of alcohol-related pedestrian injury in New York City at the census tract level over a recent 10-year period using a Bayesian hierarchical spatial regression model with Integrated Nested Laplace approximations. The analysis measures local risk, and estimates the association between the presence of alcohol outlets in a census tract and alcohol-involved pedestrian/bicyclist injury after controlling for social, economic and traffic-related variables.

Results
Holding all other covariates to zero and adjusting for both random and spatial variation, the presence of at least one alcohol outlet in a census tract increased the risk of a pedestrian or bicyclist being struck by a car by 47 % (IDR = 1.47, 95 % Credible Interval (CrI) 1.13, 1.91).

Conclusions
The presence of one or more alcohol outlets in a census tract in an urban environment increases the risk of bicyclist/pedestrian injury in important and meaningful ways. Identifying areas of increased risk due to alcohol allows the targeting of interventions to prevent and control alcohol-related pedestrian and bicyclist injuries.

description: Given strong local Dirichlet forms and $\mathbb{R}^N$-valued functions on a metrizable space, we introduce the concepts of geodesic distance and intrinsic distance on the basis of these objects. They are defined in a geometric and an analytic way, respectively, and they are closely related with each other in some classical situations. In this paper, we study the relations of these distances when the underlying space has a fractal structure. In particular, we prove their coincidence for a class of self-similar fractals.

description: We demonstrate that the spin of optically addressable point defects can be coherently driven with AC electric fields. Based on magnetic-dipole forbidden spin transitions, this scheme enables spatially confined spin control, the imaging of high-frequency electric fields, and the characterization of defect spin multiplicity. While we control defects in SiC, these methods apply to spin systems in many semiconductors, including the nitrogen-vacancy center in diamond. Electrically driven spin resonance offers a viable route towards scalable quantum control of electron spins in a dense array.

description: История архитектурно-строительной деятельности Министерства императорского двора на территории современной республики Крым в целом недостаточно изучена. Основное внимание исследователей сконцентрировано на искусствоведческих и культурологических аспектах, тогда как организационно-экономические проблемы остаются в тени. Статья обращается к одной из них, раскрывая некоторые особенности администрирования и финансирования первого этапа строительства резиденции императрицы Александры Федоровны в Ореанде. Автор отмечает, что с самого начала работ основные полномочия по оперативному управлению были возложены на Новороссийского и Бессарабского генерал-губернатора графа М.С.Воронцова. При этом, под началом последнего действовал Комитет постройки дворца в Ореанде, который непосредственно на месте руководил строительством. В статье указывается, что с самого начала работ был установлен график финансирования, предусматривавший завершение проекта до 1845 г. Однако этот план не был исполнен, поскольку темп строительства ощутимо отстал от графика, а сами постройки потребовали значительно больше средств, чем предполагалось. Автор обращает внимание на проблему с выделением дополнительных ассигнований, связанную с назначением в качестве источника финансирования не общего бюджета Придворного ведомства, а суммы, выделяемой лично императрице. Именно денежный фактор стал основной причиной приостановки работ, которые удалось возобновить только после преобразований в системе управления строительством в Ореанде.

description: Out-of-wedlock childbearing is more common in the U.S. than in other countries and becoming more so. A growing share of such non-marital births identify the father, which can create a legal entitlement to child support. Relatively little is known about individual determinants of the decision to establish paternity, in part because of data limitations. In this paper, we evaluate all birth records in Michigan from 1993 to 2006, which have been merged to the paternity registry. In 2006, 30,231 Michigan children, almost one quarter of all Michigan births, were born to unmarried mothers and had paternity acknowledged. We find that births with paternity acknowledged have worse outcomes along various health and socio-economic dimensions relative to births to married parents, but better outcomes relative to births to unmarried parents without paternity acknowledgement. Furthermore, unmarried men who father sons are significantly more likely to acknowledge paternity than fathers of daughters.

description: Experimental evidence of anesthesia-induced neurotoxicity has caused serious concern about the long-term effect of commonly used volatile anesthetic agents on young children. Several observational studies based on existing data have been conducted to address this concern with inconsistent results. We conducted a meta-analysis to synthesize the epidemiologic evidence on the association of anesthesia/surgery with neurodevelopmental outcomes in children. Using Bayesian meta-analytic approaches, we estimated the synthesized odds ratios (OR) and 95% credible interval (CrI) as well as the predictive distribution of a future study given the synthesized evidence. Data on 7 unadjusted and 6 adjusted measures of association were abstracted from 7 studies. The synthesized OR based on the 7 unadjusted measures for the association of anesthesia/surgery with an adverse behavioral or developmental outcome was 1.9 (95% CrI, 1.2-3.0). The most likely unadjusted OR from a future study was estimated to be 2.2 (95% CrI, 0.6-6.1). The synthesized OR based on the 6 adjusted measures for the association of anesthesia/surgery with an adverse behavioral or developmental outcome was 1.4 (95% CrI, 0.9-2.2). The most likely adjusted OR from a future study was estimated to be 1.5 (95% CrI, 0.5-4.0). We conclude that existent epidemiologic evidence suggests a modestly elevated risk of adverse behavioral or developmental outcomes in children who were exposed to anesthesia/surgery during early childhood. The evidence, however, is considerably uncertain.

description: Neuromorphic computing has recently gained significant attention as a promising approach for developing energy-efficient, massively parallel computing systems inspired by the spiking behavior of the human brain and natively mapping Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs). Effective training algorithms for SNNs are imperative for increased adoption of neuromorphic platforms; however, SNN training continues to lag behind advances in other classes of ANN. In this paper, we reduce this gap by proposing an innovative encoder-decoder technique that leverages sparse coding and the Locally Competitive Algorithm (LCA) to provide an algorithm specifically designed for neuromorphic platforms. Using our proposed Dataset-Scalable Exemplar LCA-Decoder we reduce the computational demands and memory requirements associated with training SNNs using error backpropagation methods on increasingly larger training sets. We offer a solution that can be scalably applied to datasets of any size. Our results show the highest reported top-1 test accuracy using SNNs on the ImageNet and CIFAR100 datasets, surpassing previous benchmarks. Specifically, we achieved a record top-1 accuracy of 80.75% on ImageNet (ILSVRC2012 validation set) and 79.32% on CIFAR100 using SNNs.

description: Suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA) is an inhibitor of histone deacetylases (HDACs) used for the treatment of cutaneous T cell lymphoma (CTCL) and under consideration for other indications. In vivo studies suggest reducing HDAC function can enhance synaptic function and memory, raising the possibility that SAHA treatment could have neurological benefits. We first examined the impacts of SAHA on synaptic function in vitro using rat organotypic hippocampal brain slices. Following several days of SAHA treatment, basal excitatory but not inhibitory synaptic function was enhanced. Presynaptic release probability and intrinsic neuronal excitability were unaffected suggesting SAHA treatment selectively enhanced postsynaptic excitatory function. In addition, long-term potentiation (LTP) of excitatory synapses was augmented, while long-term depression (LTD) was impaired in SAHA treated slices. Despite the in vitro synaptic enhancements, in vivo SAHA treatment did not rescue memory deficits in the Tg2576 mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Along with the lack of behavioral impact, pharmacokinetic analysis indicated poor brain availability of SAHA. Broader assessment of in vivo SAHA treatment using high-content phenotypic characterization of C57Bl6 mice failed to demonstrate significant behavioral effects of up to 150 mg/kg SAHA following either acute or chronic injections. Potentially explaining the low brain exposure and lack of behavioral impacts, SAHA was found to be a substrate of the blood brain barrier (BBB) efflux transporters Pgp and Bcrp1. Thus while our in vitro data show that HDAC inhibition can enhance excitatory synaptic strength and potentiation, our in vivo data suggests limited brain availability may contribute to the lack of behavioral impact of SAHA following peripheral delivery. These results do not predict CNS effects of SAHA during clinical use and also emphasize the importance of analyzing brain drug levels when interpreting preclinical behavioral pharmacology.

description: The Arabic narrative sources record a host of tales related to the founding of Baghdad and to its founder, the caliph al-Manṣūr. In one account, reported in several versions by al-Ṭabarī and al-Ḫaṭīb al-Bagdādī, a Byzantine ambassador arrives at al-Manṣūr’s court and criticizes the caliph’s new capital. The present paper suggests that the tale might have been used in the centuries following Baghdad’s founding to explain why the Abbasids behaved like kings by blaming direct Byzantine influence.

description: There are currently no biological tests that differentiate patients with bipolar disorder (BPD) from healthy controls. While there is evidence that peripheral gene expression differences between patients and controls can be utilized as biomarkers for psychiatric illness, it is unclear whether current use or residual effects of antipsychotic and mood stabilizer medication drives much of the differential transcription. We therefore tested whether expression changes in first-episode, never-medicated BPD patients, can contribute to a biological classifier that is less influenced by medication and could potentially form a practicable biomarker assay for BPD. We employed microarray technology to measure global leukocyte gene expression in first-episode (n=3) and currently medicated BPD patients (n=26), and matched healthy controls (n=25). Following an initial feature selection of the microarray data, we developed a cross-validated 10-gene model that was able to correctly predict the diagnostic group of the training sample (26 medicated patients and 12 controls), with 89% sensitivity and 75% specificity (p<0.001). The 10-gene predictor was further explored via testing on an independent cohort consisting of three pairs of monozygotic twins discordant for BPD, plus the original enrichment sample cohort (the three never-medicated BPD patients and 13 matched control subjects), and a sample of experimental replicates (n=34). 83% of the independent test sample was correctly predicted, with a sensitivity of 67% and specificity of 100% (although this result did not reach statistical significance). Additionally, 88% of sample diagnostic classes were classified correctly for both the enrichment (p=0.015) and the replicate samples (p<0.001). We have developed a peripheral gene expression biomarker profile, that can classify healthy controls from patients with BPD receiving antipsychotic or mood stabilizing medication, which has both high sensitivity and specificity. Moreover, assay of three first-episode patients who had never received such medications, to first enrich the expression dataset for disease-related genes independent of medication effects, and then to test the 10-gene predictor, validates the peripheral biomarker approach for BPD.

description: We report a highly significant ($>10σ$) spatial correlation between galaxies with $S_{350μ\rm m}\ge 30\,$mJy detected in the equatorial fields of the \textsl{Herschel} Astrophysical Terahertz Large Area Survey (H-ATLAS) with estimated redshifts $\gtrsim 1.5$, and SDSS or GAMA galaxies at $0.2\le z\le 0.6$. The significance of the cross-correlation is much higher than those reported so far for samples with non-overlapping redshift distributions selected in other wavebands. Extensive, realistic simulations of clustered sub-mm galaxies amplified by foreground structures confirm that the cross-correlation is explained by weak gravitational lensing ($μ<2$). The simulations also show that the measured amplitude and range of angular scales of the signal are larger than can be accounted for by galaxy-galaxy weak lensing. However, for scales $\lesssim 2\,$arcmin, the signal can be reproduced if SDSS/GAMA galaxies act as signposts of galaxy groups/clusters with halo masses in the range $10^{13.2}$--$10^{14.5} M_{\odot}$. The signal detected on larger scales appears to reflect the clustering of such halos.

description: Stream fairness, fairness between all streams in the system, is a more restrictive condition than sub-stream fairness, fairness between all streams of each user. Thus sub-stream fairness alleviates utility loss as well as complexity and overhead compared to stream fairness. Moreover, depending on algorithmic parameters, conventional algorithms including distributed interference alignment (DIA) may not provide sub-stream fairness, and generate sub-streams with poor signal-to-interference plus noise ratios (SINRs), thus with poor bit error rates (BERs). To this end, we propose a distributed power control algorithm to render sub-stream fairness in the system, and establish initiatory connections between sub-stream SINRs, BERs, and rates. Algorithms have particular responses to parameters. In the paper, important algorithmic parameters are analyzed to exhibit numerical correctness in benchmarking. The distinction between separate filtering schemes that design each stream of a user separately and group filtering schemes that jointly design the streams of a user is also underscored in the paper. Finally, the power control law used in the proposed algorithm is proven to linearly converge to a unique fixed-point, and the algorithm is shown to achieve feasible SINR targets.

description: One of the most accurate multi-class protein classification systems continues to be the profile-based SVM kernel introduced by the Leslie group. Unfortunately, its CPU requirements render it too slow for practical applications of large-scale classification tasks. Here, we introduce several software improvements that enable significant acceleration. Using various non-redundant data sets, we demonstrate that our new implementation reaches a maximal speed-up as high as 14-fold for calculating the same kernel matrix. Some predictions are over 200 times faster and render the kernel as possibly the top contender in a low ratio of speed/performance. Additionally, we explain how to parallelize various computations and provide an integrative program that reduces creating a production-quality classifier to a single program call. The new implementation is available as a Debian package under a free academic license and does not depend on commercial software. For non-Debian based distributions, the source package ships with a traditional Makefile-based installer.

description: The skin is a dynamic organ whose complex material properties are capable of withstanding continuous mechanical stress while accommodating insults and organism growth. Moreover, synchronized hair cycles, comprising waves of hair growth, regression and rest, are accompanied by dramatic fluctuations in skin thickness in mice. Whether such structural changes alter skin mechanics is unknown. Mouse models are extensively used to study skin biology and pathophysiology, including aging, UV-induced skin damage and somatosensory signaling. As the skin serves a pivotal role in the transfer function from sensory stimuli to neuronal signaling, we sought to define the mechanical properties of mouse skin over a range of normal physiological states. Skin thickness, stiffness and modulus were quantitatively surveyed in adult, female mice (Mus musculus). These measures were analyzed under uniaxial compression, which is relevant for touch reception and compression injuries, rather than tension, which is typically used to analyze skin mechanics. Compression tests were performed with 105 full-thickness, freshly isolated specimens from the hairy skin of the hind limb. Physiological variables included body weight, hair-cycle stage, maturity level, skin site and individual animal differences. Skin thickness and stiffness were dominated by hair-cycle stage at young (6–10 weeks) and intermediate (13–19 weeks) adult ages but by body weight in mature mice (26–34 weeks). Interestingly, stiffness varied inversely with thickness so that hyperelastic modulus was consistent across hair-cycle stages and body weights. By contrast, the mechanics of hairy skin differs markedly with anatomical location. In particular, skin containing fascial structures such as nerves and blood vessels showed significantly greater modulus than adjacent sites. Collectively, this systematic survey indicates that, although its structure changes dramatically throughout adult life, mouse skin at a given location maintains a constant elastic modulus to compression throughout normal physiological stages.

description: We propose a new method of measuring the third and fourth moments of return distribution based on quadratic variation method when the return process is assumed to have zero drift. The realized third and fourth moments variations computed from high frequency return series are good approximations to corresponding actual moments of the return distribution. An investor holding an asset with skewed or fat-tailed distribution is able to hedge the tail risk by contracting the third or fourth moment swap under which the float leg of realized variation and the predetermined fixed leg are exchanged. Thus constructed portfolio follows more Gaussian-like distribution and hence the investor effectively hedge the tail risk.

description: The global effects of sudden changes in the interface growth dynamics are studied using models of the Edwards-Wilkinson (EW) and Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) classes during their growth regimes in dimensions $d=1$ and $d=2$. Scaling arguments and simulation results are combined to predict the relaxation of the difference in the roughness of the perturbed and the unperturbed interfaces, $ΔW^2 \sim s^c t^{-γ}$, where $s$ is the time of the change and $t>s$ is the observation time after that event. The previous analytical solution for the EW-EW changes is reviewed and numerically discussed in the context of lattice models, with possible decays with $γ=3/2$ and $γ=1/2$. Assuming the dominant contribution to $ΔW^2$ to be predicted from a time shift in the final growth dynamics, the scaling of KPZ-KPZ changes with $γ= 1-2β$ and $c=2β$ is predicted, where $β$ is the growth exponent. Good agreement with simulation results in $d=1$ and $d=2$ is observed. A relation with the relaxation of a local autoresponse function in $d=1$ cannot be discarded, but very different exponents are shown in $d=2$. We also consider changes between different dynamics, with the KPZ-EW as a special case in which a faster growth, with dynamical exponent $z_i$, changes to a slower one, with exponent $z$. A scaling approach predicts a crossover time $t_c\sim s^{z/z_i}\gg s$ and $ΔW^2 \sim s^c F\left( t/t_c\right)$, with the decay exponent $γ=1/2$ of the EW class. This rules out the simplified time shift hypothesis in $d=2$ dimensions. These results help to understand the remarkable differences in EW smoothing of correlated and uncorrelated surfaces, and the approach may be extended to sudden changes between other growth dynamics.

description: In this work, we discuss the quantum mechanics of many-body systems i.e. hybrid microgel consisting of negatively charged anionic microgels possessing thick sheath of water molecules solvating its protruding anionic moieties and nanoparticle captivated with in it. Thermodynamic feasibility of synthesis of particular nanoparticle with in the microgel is dependent upon the magnitude of interaction between nanoparticle, water molecules and microgel relative to sum of magnitude of self-interaction between counterions and interaction between counterions and microgel. Nanoparticles synthesized with in the microgels have thick electronic cloud that oscillates under the influence of net interaction potential of charged anionic moieties and solvent water molecules. Hamiltonian describing energy of oscillating electronic cloud wrapped around nanoparticle is mathematically derived to be equal to product of integral of electron density and its position vector overall space multiplied with net electric force acting on the oscillating electronic cloud of nanoparticle.

description: Ildr2, a modifier of diabetes susceptibility in obese mice, is expressed in most organs, including islets and hypothalamus, with reduced levels in livers of diabetes-susceptible B6.DBA mice congenic for a 1.8 Mb interval of Chromosome 1. In hepatoma and neuronal cells, ILDR2 is primarily located in the endoplasmic reticulum membrane. We used adenovirus vectors that express shRNA or are driven by the CMV promoter, respectively, to knockdown or overexpress Ildr2 in livers of wild type and ob/ob mice. Livers in knockdown mice were steatotic, with increased hepatic and circulating triglycerides and total cholesterol. Increased circulating VLDL, without reduction in triglyceride clearance suggests an effect of reduced hepatic ILDR2 on hepatic cholesterol clearance. In animals that overexpress Ildr2, hepatic triglyceride and total cholesterol levels were reduced, and strikingly so in ob/ob mice. There were no significant changes in body weight, energy expenditure or glucose/insulin homeostasis in knockdown or overexpressing mice. Knockdown mice showed reduced expression of genes mediating synthesis and oxidation of hepatic lipids, suggesting secondary suppression in response to increased hepatic lipid content. In Ildr2-overexpressing ob/ob mice, in association with reduced liver fat content, levels of transcripts related to neutral lipid synthesis and cholesterol were increased, suggesting “relief” of the secondary suppression imposed by lipid accumulation. Considering the fixed location of ILDR2 in the endoplasmic reticulum, we investigated the possible participation of ILDR2 in ER stress responses. In general, Ildr2 overexpression was associated with increases, and knockdown with decreases in levels of expression of molecular components of canonical ER stress pathways. We conclude that manipulation of Ildr2 expression in liver affects both lipid homeostasis and ER stress pathways. Given these reciprocal interactions, and the relatively extended time-course over which these studies were conducted, we cannot assign causal primacy to either the effects on hepatic lipid homeostasis or ER stress responses.

Year: 2022

description: Книга Эмилио Эстебана-Инфантеса «Голубая дивизия: испанские добровольцы на Восточном фронте» является важным источником по истории блокады Ленинграда как «взгляд со стороны противника». Она вышла в 1958 году и вскоре была переведена на немецкий язык. Испанская Голубая дивизия находилось в 1941—1943 годах на Северо-Западе России в качестве военного союзника нацистской Германии. Официально Испания не объявляла Советскому Союзу войну, поэтому Голубая дивизия считалась добровольческим вооруженным формированием в составе Вермахта. В 1941—1943 гг. она принимала участие в блокаде Ленинграда. Генерал Эстебан-Инфантес подробно описывает участие испанских солдат в боях под Ленинградом зимой 1942—1943 гг.

 Abstract Ublituximab (BRIUMVI™), an anti-CD20 immunoglobulin G1 monoclonal antibody, is a promising new treatment option for patients with relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS). Ublituximab is approved in the USA and the EU for the treatment of adult patients with relapsing forms of MS. Following a starting dose of 150 mg infused over 4 h, ublituximab is conveniently administered twice-yearly as a short (1 h) intravenous infusion. In phase 3 clinical trials in patients with relapsing MS, ublituximab was more effective than oral teriflunomide at reducing annualized relapse rates and numbers of brain lesions over a period of 96 weeks. However, ublituximab did not result in a significantly lower risk of worsening of disability. Ublituximab had an acceptable tolerability profile in clinical trials. The most commonly reported adverse events were infusion-related reactions (IRRs), which occurred in almost half of ublituximab recipients. However, the majority of IRRs were of mild to moderate severity, occurred after the first dose and decreased in frequency with subsequent dosing. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2023

description: Self-assembly due to capillary forces is a common method for generating 2D mesoscale structures from identical floating particles at the liquid-air interface. Designing building blocks to obtain a desired mesoscopic structure is a scientific challenge. We show herein that it is possible to shape the particles with a low cost 3D printer, for composing specific mesoscopic structures. Our method is based on the creation of capillary multipoles inducing either attractive or repulsive forces. Since capillary interactions can be downscaled, our method opens new ways to low cost microfabrication.
