description: The RoboCup 3D Soccer Simulation League serves as a competitive platform for showcasing innovation in autonomous humanoid robot agents through simulated soccer matches. Our team, FC Portugal, developed a new codebase from scratch in Python after RoboCup 2021. The team's performance is based on a set of skills centered around novel unifying primitives and a custom, symmetry-extended version of the Proximal Policy Optimization algorithm. Our methods have been thoroughly tested in official RoboCup matches, where FC Portugal has won the last two main competitions, in 2022 and 2023. This paper presents our training framework, as well as a timeline of skills developed using our skill-set-primitives, which considerably improve the sample efficiency and stability of skills, and motivate seamless transitions. We start with a significantly fast sprint-kick developed in 2021 and progress to the most recent skill set, which includes a multi-purpose omnidirectional walk, a dribble with unprecedented ball control, a solid kick, and a push skill. The push tackles both low-level collision-prone scenarios and high-level strategies to increase ball possession. We address the resource-intensive nature of this task through an innovative multi-agent learning approach. Finally, we release the codebase of our team to the RoboCup community, enabling other teams to transition to Python more easily and providing new teams with a robust and modern foundation upon which they can build new features.

Creators: name: Piretto, Elena
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Different mathematical models of multicellular systems are developed from an evolutionary viewpoint. The applications are related to cancer-immune cells dynamics and therapies. The mathematical formalism covers a variety of tools according to the biological question addressed. The thesis underlines the importance of the tumor clone composition in the identification of the more effective treatments and to avoid tumor drug resistance. Tumor mutations are used to explain some disease characteristics and controversial data on the effectiveness of the treatments. Mathematically, the differences between models and scales have been displayed and studied, pointing out their value in relation to the biological problems.

description: BACKGROUND:Many young people with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) have impairing symptoms that persist into adulthood, yet only a minority experience continuity of care into adult life. Despite growing emphasis on the primary care role in ADHD management in NICE ADHD and transition guidance, little is known about GPs' perspectives, which could hamper efforts to improve outcomes for young people leaving children's services. This study aimed to understand GPs' experiences of involvement with this group and explore their views on the roles and responsibilities of primary and secondary care in transition, to inform recommendations for policy and practice. METHOD:Qualitative interview study with GPs across the UK. Semi-structured telephone interviews were carried out with 14 GPs recruited through a linked mapping study, social media, and snowballing; data were analysed using thematic analysis. RESULTS:In the absence of a smooth transition from child to adult services, many GPs became involved 'by default'. GPs reacted by trying to identify suitable specialist services, and were faced with the decision of whether to continue ADHD prescribing. Such decisions were strongly influenced by perceptions that prescribing carried risks, and concerns over responsibility, particularly where specialist services were lacking. Participants described variation in service availability, and some highlighted tensions around how shared care works in practice. CONCLUSION:Implementation of NICE guidance is highly variable, with implications for GPs and patients. Risk and responsibility for primary care ADHD prescribing are central concerns that need to be addressed, as is the inclusion of GPs in a planned transition process.
Detailed Modeling of a Practical 1400MW Hydropower Plant and Real-Time Hardware Emulation For Governor Tuning Application
Creators: Ritu Tiwari, Thanga Raj Chelliah, Venkata Dinavahi
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2024

This paper presents the detailed nonlinear mathematical model of a 1400MW hydro power plant (HPP) and it’s faster than real-time dynamic emulation on hardware architecture of the field programmable gate arrays (FPGA). This model is used to study the interactive effect of hydro turbine governor system (HTGS) and power system stabilizer (PSS) in nonlinear hydro-mechanical and electrical coupled (HMEC) system during low frequency oscillations. The Hopf bifurcation technique is employed for oscillation stability study and to obtain the optimum and stable operating region of the PID controller in the governor. Furthermore, oscillation damping is enhanced by improved tuning of PSS considering governor’s servo motor time delay and frequency dead-band. The methodology for improved HTGS and PSS tuning provides 10 sec faster frequency stability with higher positive oscillation damping. Improved stability is illustrated using frequency deviation and generator active power results. The model accuracy is validated using 1400MW HPP field data. HMEC dynamic model of HPP is implemented on reconfigurable parallel hardware architecture of the FPGA board Xilinx® Virtex UltraScale+TM, having the system solution pipelined for parallel computation, thus obtaining 49 times faster than real-time solution. This FPGA emulated prototype provides an advanced testing environment for new control strategies, system security assessment, predictive analyses of faults using real-time data, and plant optimization.

description: This paper is concerned with the problem of testing nonnested linear hypotheses. The problem is expressed in terms of the relevant linear (vector) subspaces. The "degree of nonnestedness" of the hypotheses is examined. After a suitable linear transformation, the vector of observations is reduced by invariance considerations to a 2—dimensional statistic. It is shown that the power function of invariant tests depends on the regressor matrices through certain characteristic numbers which measure "the degree of nonnestedness" of the linear hypotheses.

Year: 2024

description: This thesis is concerned with state estimation and dissipativity analysis of neural networks with time-varying delays. The first objective is to design suitable delay-dependent state estimators to acquire desired neuron states by using the measurements that are contaminated by external disturbances. To ensure satisfactory system performance, another objective is to provide good dissipativity criteria for delayed neural networks to evaluate some performance indices in a unified framework. The results in this thesis are beneficial to the wide applications of neural networks in various fields, like associate memory, optimization, image processing and so on.

Functional genomics of the major asthma gene IL33 in airway epithelial cells
Creators: name: Piatek, Stefan
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2016

description: Asthma is a common disease of the large airways and the airway epithelium has a sentinel role in the initiation of the disease. Interleukin-33 is located in the nucleus of airway epithelium and is increased in asthmatic airway epithelium. Furthermore the gene has been reproducibly associated with asthma by genome wide association studies. Originally identified as a nuclear factor, interleukin-33 was found to act as a cytokine via the receptor ST2. Since this point the majority of research on interleukin-33 has focused on its role as a cytokine. Studies of its nuclear role have investigated the expression of a handful of inflammatory genes. This thesis examines the role of nuclear interleukin-33 in the airway epithelium using a functional genomics approach. The alveolar A549 cell line and normal primary bronchial epithelial cells were found to express full-length interleukin-33 mRNA. Both were taken forward for interleukin-33 knockdown studies using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays to measure relevant cytokines in supernatants. Upon interleukin-33 knockdown, interleukin-1ß-induced interleukin-6 and interleukin-8 secretion was reduced in both A549 and primary cells. Microarray analyses of gene expression showed interleukin-33 affected genes involved in differentiation, cell-substrate adhesion and extracellular matrix organisation. In contrast, ST2 knockdown resulted in increases in cytokine secretion upon interleukin-1ß stimulation with global gene expression analyses showing little overlap with interleukin-33-effected genes. Taken together, this suggests that the gene expression changes found upon interleukin-33 knockdown were due to a nuclear role. Finally, chromatin-immunoprecipitation sequencing was used to determine genome wide the DNA-binding sites of interleukin-33. Transcription factor binding motifs and preferential binding near promoters and exons were found but further replicates are required for confidence in these results. This work shows that interleukin-33 has an important nuclear role that appears to regulate gene expression in a manner that could mediate the changes seen in the asthmatic lung.

description: Background Measurement-based care (MBC) is an evidence-based practice for depression, but its use by clinicians remains low. Enhanced MBC (eMBC), which uses digital technologies, can help to facilitate the use of MBC by clinicians and patients. Understanding factors that act as barriers and drivers to the implementation of MBC and eMBC is important to support the design of implementation strategies, promoting uptake by clinicians and patients. Objective This situational analysis identifies barriers and facilitators to the implementation of standard and eMBC at mental health centers in Shanghai, China. Methods We used mixed methods to develop a comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing MBC and eMBC implementation in Shanghai. This study took place across three mental health centers in Shanghai. We used situational analysis tools to collect contextual information about the three centers, conducted surveys with n = 116 clinicians and n = 301 patients, conducted semi-structured interviews with n = 30 clinicians and six focus groups with a total of n = 19 patients. Surveys were analysed using descriptive statistics, and semi-structured interviews and focus groups were analysed using framework analysis. Results Several potential barriers and facilitators to MBC and eMBC implementation were identified. Infrastructure, cost, attitudes and beliefs, and perceptions about feasibility and efficacy emerged as both challenges and drivers to MBC and eMBC implementation in Shanghai. Conclusions The results of this study will directly inform the design of an implementation strategy for MBC and eMBC in Shanghai, that will be tested via a randomized controlled trial. This study contributes to the emerging body of literature on MBC implementation and, to the best of our knowledge, is the first such study to take place in Asia. This study identifies several factors that are relevant to the equitable delivery of MBC, recognizing the need to explicitly address equity concerns in global mental health implementation research.

 Remarks — The sequenced specimens from Northeastern Iran and Western Türkiye were clustered within BOLD:AFG4655, which includes specimens from Northern Iran morphologically assigned to T. baueri. Populations of this species have often been confused with those of T. barsica (Szalay, 1933). Torrenticola baueri, was originally described by Bader & Sepasgozarian (1987) from a stream in Northern Iran but later on synonymized by Asadi et al. (2010) with T. barsica. Recently, Pešić et al. (2021a) barcoded T. baueri specimen from Northern Iran and resurrected the latter species as valid and distinct from T. barsica. Clear morphological differences are confirmed with a large p -distance, more than 11%, between these two species. New findings confirmed by molecular results indicate that this species has a wider distribution and the former records of T. barsica from Türkiye (see Erman et al. 2010, 2019 for references) likely should be assigned to T. baueri.
 Distribution — Iran, Türkiye.

description: L’indépendance de la justice constitutionnelle représente, dans l’Amérique latine contemporaine, un enjeu d’autant plus important que l’avenir de la démocratie demeure incertain.
 Alors que la consolidation démocratique progresse avec difficulté, la justice constitutionnelle a un rôle particulièrement important à jouer dans le parachèvement de la démocratisation du sous-continent. En contribuant au passage de l’État législatif de droit, qui affirme la suprématie de la loi, à l’État constitutionnel de droit, qui restaure pleinement la Constitution au sommet de la hiérarchie des normes, le juge constitutionnel se retrouve placé au centre du processus de consolidation démocratique dans sa dimension juridique.
 La situation des juridictions constitutionnelles en Amérique latine est, sur ce point, riche d’enseignements sur la santé des démocraties du sous-continent. The independence of the constitutional judiciary is an important issue in contemporary Latin America because the future of democracy remains uncertain.
 While democratic consolidation is progressing with difficulty, constitutional justice has a particularly important role to play in completing the democratization of the sub-continent. By contributing to the transition from the legislative rule of law, which affirms the supremacy of the law, to the constitutional rule of law, which fully restores the constitution to the top of the hierarchy of norms, the constitutional judge finds himself placed at the center of the process of democratic consolidation in its legal dimension.
 The situation of constitutional courts in Latin America is, in this respect, rich in lessons about the health of the sub-continent's democracies.
Investigations on the control of reflective cracking in flexible pavements using geosynthetics
Creators: name: Sudarsanan, Nithin
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The overlay installation above the cracked pavements is a quick fix accepted globally. The rehabilitated pavements under repeated traffic and thermal loading allows the existing crack to propagate through the new layer eventually leading to its faster deterioration. Paving fabrics installed at the interface of asphalt concrete layers mitigates the crack propagation thereby improves the service life of pavements. Fabrics made from natural fibers such as coir and jute satisfies the minimum mechanical strength requirements for paving application. Hence, this study focuses on the evaluation of natural paving fabric's potential through laboratory testing methods to create more sustainable pavements.

 Remarks — The specimens from Iran and Türkiye, used in this study for molecular analysis, morphologically match the description of Atractides zagrosensis from Iran, a species originally described by Pesic et al. (2004) as A. cf. lunipes Lundblad, 1956 on the basis of specimens collected in Chahar Mahal and Bakhtiari Province. Later on, this taxon was raised to the status of a new species (Pešić et al. 2016). Genetic data indicate that all examined specimens belong to the same species, forming the cluster: BOLD:AFF9958. The latter BIN is solely composed of our specimens, with its closest neighboring BIN (BOLD:AET7893) being that of Atractides corsicus E. Angelier, 1954, a species known only from Corsica and Sardinia and considered by Gerecke (2021) as an insular sister species of A. lunipes. The new findings presented here indicate that this species has a wider distribution, and the former records of A. lunipes from Türkiye (Pešić & Erman 2006) very likely belong to A. zagrosensis.
 Distribution — Iran, New for Türkiye.

description: The mutational status of platelet-receptor PEAR1 was recently identified as a major factor for survival of young patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia. While studies show that wildtype PEAR1 regulates hematopoiesis, little is known on how PEAR1’s mutational status may impact downstream pathway proteins’ activity. We generated triplicate Ba/F3 cell lines using retroviral vector transduction, stably expressing empty vector, wildtype, or mutated PEAR1. Further experiments will help validate the changes in identified pathway proteins across lines using Western blots. Subsequent drug treatments will evaluate the impact of PEAR1’s mutational status on cell survival.

description: Job satisfaction has been found to impact behavioral choices at the workplace. Since levels of satisfaction are not guaranteed to remain high, understanding the consequences of job dissatisfaction is essential. Hence, I analyze the relationship between a worker’s job satisfaction and her training investments. Based on my theoretical model, I expect a U-shaped relationship if dissatisfied workers attempt to improve the situation or plan to quit. In contrast, there is an overall positive relationship if dissatisfied workers neglect their duties. Using logit regressions with the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) survey I find tentative evidence that there is on average an overall positive relationship with a 1 standard deviation increase in job satisfaction being associated with a 1.5% increased likelihood of participating in training. A closer inspection of the reasons for training as well as quit intentions reveals some hints of a U-shaped relationship. My results highlight the importance of considering the source of dissatisfaction as there are heterogeneous effects along different job satisfaction facets.

description: Aims Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture commonly leads to post-traumatic osteoarthritis, regardless of surgical reconstruction. This study uses standing MRI to investigate changes in contact area, contact centroid location, and tibiofemoral alignment between ACL-injured knees and healthy controls, to examine the effect of ACL reconstruction on these parameters. Methods An upright, open MRI was used to directly measure tibiofemoral contact area, centroid location, and alignment in 18 individuals with unilateral ACL rupture within the last five years. Eight participants had been treated nonoperatively and ten had ACL reconstruction performed within one year of injury. All participants were high-functioning and had returned to sport or recreational activities. Healthy contralateral knees served as controls. Participants were imaged in a standing posture with knees fully extended. Results Participants’ mean age was 28.4 years (SD 7.3), the mean time since injury was 2.7 years (SD 1.6), and the mean International Knee Documentation Subjective Knee Form score was 84.4 (SD 13.5). ACL injury was associated with a 10% increase (p = 0.001) in contact area, controlling for compartment, sex, posture, age, body mass, and time since injury. ACL injury was associated with a 5.2% more posteriorly translated medial centroid (p = 0.001), equivalent to a 2.6 mm posterior translation on a representative tibia with mean posteroanterior width of 49.4 mm. Relative to the femur, the tibiae of ACL ruptured knees were 2.3 mm more anteriorly translated (p = 0.003) and 2.6° less externally rotated (p = 0.010) than healthy controls. ACL reconstruction was not associated with an improvement in any measure. Conclusion ACL rupture was associated with an increased contact area, posteriorly translated medial centroid, anterior tibial translation, and reduced tibial external rotation in full extension. These changes were present 2.7 years post-injury regardless of ACL reconstruction status.

 Remarks
 Leptus (L.) rosellae was described from Kuşadası, Aydin province, Türkiye (Haitlinger 1999). Metric data are given in Table 2. Leptus (L.) rosellae and L. (L.) darvishi are very similar in morphometric and meristic data and it seems that they are very closely related species (See Can and Saboori 2023 and Saboori et al. 2023). Future molecular studies could determine whether they are conspecific or separated species.

The First Near-Infrared Transmission Spectrum of HIP 41378 f: a Low-Mass Temperate Jovian World in a Multi-Planet System

description: We present a near-infrared transmission spectrum of the long period (P=542 days), temperate (Teq=294 K) giant planet HIP 41378 f obtained with the Wide-Field Camera 3 (WFC3) instrument aboard the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). With a measured mass of 12 ± 3M⊕ and a radius of 9.2 ± 0.1 R⊕, HIP 41378 f has an extremely low bulk density (0.09 ± 0.02 g/cm3). We measure the transit depth with a median precision of 84 ppm in 30 spectrophotometric channels with uniformly-sized widths of 0.018 microns. Within this level of precision, the spectrum shows no evidence of absorption from gaseous molecular features between 1.1-1.7 microns. Comparing the observed transmission spectrum to a suite of 1D radiative-convective-thermochemical-equilibrium forward models, we rule out clear, low-metallicity atmospheres and find that the data prefer high-metallicity atmospheres or models with an additional opacity source such as high-altitude hazes and/or circumplanetary rings. We explore the ringed scenario for this planet further by jointly fitting the K2 and HST light curves to constrain the properties of putative rings. We also assess the possibility of distinguishing between hazy, ringed, and high-metallicity scenarios at longer wavelengths with JWST. HIP 41378 f provides a rare opportunity to probe the atmospheric composition of a cool giant planet spanning the gap between the Solar System giants, directly imaged planets, and the highly-irradiated hot Jupiters traditionally studied via transit spectroscopy.
Parallelized inference for gravitational-wave astronomy

description: Bayesian inference is the workhorse of gravitational-wave astronomy, for example, determining the mass and spins of merging black holes, revealing the neutron star equation of state, and unveiling the population properties of compact binaries. The science enabled by these inferences comes with a computational cost that can limit the questions we are able to answer. This cost is expected to grow. As detectors improve, the detection rate will go up, allowing less time to analyze each event. Improvement in low-frequency sensitivity will yield longer signals, increasing the number of computations per event. The growing number of entries in the transient catalog will drive up the cost of population studies. While Bayesian inference calculations are not entirely parallelizable, key components are embarrassingly parallel: calculating the gravitational waveform and evaluating the likelihood function. Graphical processor units (GPUs) are adept at such parallel calculations. We report on progress porting gravitational-wave inference calculations to GPUs. Using a single code - which takes advantage of GPU architecture if it is available - we compare computation times using modern GPUs (NVIDIA P100) and CPUs (Intel Gold 6140). We demonstrate speed-ups of ∼50× for compact binary coalescence gravitational waveform generation and likelihood evaluation, and more than 100× for population inference within the lifetime of current detectors. Further improvement is likely with continued development. Our python-based code is publicly available and can be used without familiarity with the parallel computing platform, CUDA.

description: Objective: Magnetic particle imaging (MPI) is an emerging medical imaging modality which has gained increasing interest in recent years. Among the benefits of MPI are its high temporal resolution, and that the technique does not expose the specimen to any kind of ionizing radiation. It is based on the non-linear response of magnetic nanoparticles to an applied magnetic field. From the electric signal measured in receive coils, the particle concentration has to be reconstructed. Due to the ill-posedness of the reconstruction problem, various regularization methods have been proposed for reconstruction ranging from early stopping methods, via classical Tikhonov regularization and iterative methods to modern machine learning approaches. In this work, we contribute to the latter class: we propose a plug-and-play approach based on a generic zero-shot denoiser with an $\ell^1$-prior.
 Approach: We validate the reconstruction parameters of the method on a hybrid dataset and compare it with the baseline Tikhonov, DIP and the previous PP-MPI, which is a plug-and-play method with denoiser trained on MPI-friendly data.
 Main results: We offer a quantitative and qualitative evaluation of the zero-shot plug-and-play approach on the 3D Open MPI dataset. Moreover, we show the quality of the approach with different levels of preprocessing of the data.
 Significance: The proposed method employs a zero-shot denoiser which has not been trained for the MPI task and therefore saves the cost for training. Moreover, it offers a method that can be potentially applied in future MPI contexts.
