description: We explore the effect of noise on the ballistic graphene-based small Josephson junctions in the framework of the resistively and capacitively shunted model. We use the non-sinusoidal current-phase relation specific for graphene layers partially covered by superconducting electrodes. The noise induced escapes from the metastable states, when the external bias current is ramped, give the switching current distribution, i.e. the probability distribution of the passages to finite voltage from the superconducting state as a function of the bias current, that is the information more promptly available in the experiments. We consider a noise source that is a mixture of two different types of processes: a Gaussian contribution to simulate an uncorrelated ordinary thermal bath, and non-Gaussian, $α$-stable (or Lévy) term, generally associated to non-equilibrium transport phenomena. We find that the analysis of the switching current distribution makes it possible to efficiently detect a non-Gaussian noise component in a Gaussian background.

description: In the recently published 3FGL catalogue, the Fermi/LAT collaboration reports the detection of $γ$-ray emission from 3034 sources obtained after four years of observations. The nature of 1010 of those sources is unknown, whereas 2023 have well-identified counterparts in other wavelengths. Most of the associated sources are labelled as blazars (1717/2023), but the BL Lacs or FSRQ nature of 573 of these blazars is still undetermined. The aim of this study was two-fold. First, to significantly increase the number of blazar candidates from a search among the large number of Fermi/LAT 3FGL unassociated sources (case A). Second, to determine the BL Lac or FSRQ nature of the blazar candidates, including those determined as such in this work and the blazar candidates of uncertain type (BCU) that are already present in the 3FGL catalogue (case B). For this purpose, multivariate classifiers were trained using samples of labelled sources with no caution flag from the 3FGL catalogue and carefully chosen discriminant parameters. The decisions of the classifiers were combined in order to obtain a high level of source identification along with well controlled numbers of expected false associations. Specifically for case A, dedicated classifications were generated for high and low galactic latitude sources, in addition, the application of classifiers to samples of sources with caution flag was considered separately, and specific performance metrics were estimated. We obtained a sample of 595 blazar candidates among the unassociated sources of the 3FGL catalogue. We also obtained a sample of 509 BL Lacs and 295 FSRQs from the blazar candidates cited above and the BCUs of the 3FGL catalogue. The number of expected false associations is given for different samples of candidates. It is, in particular, notably low ($\sim$9/425) for the sample of high-latitude blazar candidates from case A.

description: There is growing interest in discovering interpretable, closed-form equations for subgrid-scale (SGS) closures/parameterizations of complex processes in Earth systems. Here, we apply a common equation-discovery technique with expansive libraries to learn closures from filtered direct numerical simulations of 2D turbulence and Rayleigh-Bénard convection (RBC). Across common filters (e.g., Gaussian, box), we robustly discover closures of the same form for momentum and heat fluxes. These closures depend on nonlinear combinations of gradients of filtered variables, with constants that are independent of the fluid/flow properties and only depend on filter type/size. We show that these closures are the nonlinear gradient model (NGM), which is derivable analytically using Taylor-series. Indeed, we suggest that with common (physics-free) equation-discovery algorithms, for many common systems/physics, discovered closures are consistent with the leading term of the Taylor-series (except when cutoff filters are used). Like previous studies, we find that large-eddy simulations with NGM closures are unstable, despite significant similarities between the true and NGM-predicted fluxes (correlations $> 0.95$). We identify two shortcomings as reasons for these instabilities: in 2D, NGM produces zero kinetic energy transfer between resolved and subgrid scales, lacking both diffusion and backscattering. In RBC, potential energy backscattering is poorly predicted. Moreover, we show that SGS fluxes diagnosed from data, presumed the ''truth'' for discovery, depend on filtering procedures and are not unique. Accordingly, to learn accurate, stable closures in future work, we propose several ideas around using physics-informed libraries, loss functions, and metrics. These findings are relevant to closure modeling of any multi-scale system.

(CR23) A Rare Case of Delayed Presentation of Intestinal Obstruction Secondary to Intramural Duodenal Haematoma from Blunt Abdominal Trauma.
Creators: name: Adi Afiq Md Anour
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: Introduction: Intramural duodenal hematoma is a rare condition to occur following abdominal trauma and in the pediatric age group. The radiological distinction between duodenal hematoma and duodenal perforation is not always easy. This directly affects patient course of treatment as increased morbidity in delayed diagnosis and associated injuries. Intramural duodenal hematoma is usually treated conservatively. However, duodenal perforation needs urgent surgical intervention. Case Report/Description: We present a case of three years girl who had delayed presentation of duodenal hematoma and pancreatic injury who underwent surgery following conservative treatment and noted duodenal perforation intraoperatively. Discussion/Conclusion: Intramural duodenal haemorrhage is an acute condition, and early diagnosis can reduce possible complications. Complications include occlusion or stricture of the duodenum to pancreatitis, haemorrhage, and clinical shock. In young patients with blunt abdominal trauma and those presenting with abdominal pain who vomit bile and blood, intramural haemorrhage should be ruled out, particularly in anticoagulation treatment. In contrast to adult patients who can be examined by CT or MRI, young patients can be examined by ultrasound first. They may require additional imaging, i.e., fluoroscopy, CT, or MRI if ultrasound findings are inconclusive.

description: Let $G=(V,A)$ be a directed graph without parallel arcs, and let $S\subseteq V$ be a set of vertices. Let the sequence $S=S_0\subseteq S_1\subseteq S_2\subseteq\cdots$ be defined as follows: $S_1$ is obtained from $S_0$ by adding all out-neighbors of vertices in $S_0$. For $k\geqslant 2$, $S_k$ is obtained from $S_{k-1}$ by adding all vertices $w$ such that for some vertex $v\in S_{k-1}$, $w$ is the unique out-neighbor of $v$ in $V\setminus S_{k-1}$. We set $M(S)=S_0\cup S_1\cup\cdots$, and call $S$ a \emph{power dominating set} for $G$ if $M(S)=V(G)$. The minimum cardinality of such a set is called the \emph{power domination number} of $G$. In this paper, we determine the power domination numbers of de Bruijn and Kautz digraphs.

description: We identify coronal mass ejections (CMEs) associated with magnetic clouds (MCs) observed near Earth by the Wind spacecraft from 2008 to mid-2012, a time period when the two STEREO spacecraft were well positioned to study Earth-directed CMEs. We find 31 out of 48 Wind MCs during this period can be clearly connected with a CME that is trackable in STEREO imagery all the way from the Sun to near 1 AU. For these events, we perform full 3-D reconstructions of the CME structure and kinematics, assuming a flux rope morphology for the CME shape, considering the full complement of STEREO and SOHO imaging constraints. We find that the flux rope orientations and sizes inferred from imaging are not well correlated with MC orientations and sizes inferred from the Wind data. However, velocities within the MC region are reproduced reasonably well by the image-based reconstruction. Our kinematic measurements are used to provide simple prescriptions for predicting CME arrival times at Earth, provided for a range of distances from the Sun where CME velocity measurements might be made. Finally, we discuss the differences in the morphology and kinematics of CME flux ropes associated with different surface phenomena (flares, filament eruptions, or no surface activity).

description: Machine learning in medical imaging often faces a fundamental dilemma, namely, the small sample size problem. Many recent studies suggest using multi-domain data pooled from different acquisition sites/centers to improve statistical power. However, medical images from different sites cannot be easily shared to build large datasets for model training due to privacy protection reasons. As a promising solution, federated learning, which enables collaborative training of machine learning models based on data from different sites without cross-site data sharing, has attracted considerable attention recently. In this paper, we conduct a comprehensive survey of the recent development of federated learning methods in medical image analysis. In this survey, we first introduce the background knowledge of federated learning for dealing with privacy protection and collaborative learning issues in medical imaging. We then present a comprehensive review of recent advances in federated learning methods for medical image analysis. Specifically, existing methods are categorized based on three critical aspects of a federated learning system, including client end, server end, and communication techniques. In each category, we summarize the existing federated learning methods according to specific research problems in medical image analysis and also provide insights into the motivations of different approaches. In addition, we provide a review of existing benchmark medical imaging datasets and software platforms for current federated learning research. We also conduct an experimental study to empirically evaluate typical federated learning methods for medical image analysis. This survey can help to better understand the current research status, challenges, and potential research opportunities in this promising research field.

description: To assess the prevalence of congenital anomalies (CAs), chromosomal abnormalities and monogenic diseases among births and terminated pregnancies due to fetal anomalies (TOPFA) in 2020 in Estonia. Up to 2020 no data on prevalence of CAs in Estonia is reported. For retrospective observational study data of all births and terminations of pregnancies after 12th gestational week from (i) the Estonian Medical Birth Registry, (ii) Abortion Registy, (iii) Health Insurance Fund and (iv) hospital records were linked. To calculate the total, live birth, stillbirth and TOPFA prevalence of CAs with 95% confidence intervals (CI), guidelines issued by EUROCAT, European network for the epidemiological surveillance of CAs, https://eu-rd-platform.jrc.ec.europa.eu/eurocat_en were followed. In 2020 the total prevalence of CAs, chromosomal abnormalities and monogenic diseases in Estonia was 378.6 per 10,000 births (95% CI 346.0, 413.5). The most prevalent CAs were heart defects, 163.7 cases per 10,000 births (95%CI 142.5, 187.2). The prevalence of chromosomal abnormalities and genetic diseases was 92.6 per 10,000 births (95%CI 76.8, 110.6), 80% of cases were among TOPFAs. No newborns with major aneuploidies (Trisomy 21, 18, 13, polyploidy) were reported in 2020. Live birth prevalence of CAs, including chromosomal abnormalities and genetic diseases was 258.4 per 10,000 live births (95%CI 231.5, 287.5) and stillbirth prevalence of CAs 0.8 per 10,000 births. The prevalence of CAs and genetic disorders in Estonia is one of the highest compared to prevalence reported by other European regions. It indicates to high population coverage with prenatal diagnostics in Estonia. Low number of major aneuploidies among live births may reflect good detection rate of major chromosomal abnormalities and cultural preferences.

description: Many barred galaxies, possibly including the Milky Way, have cusps in the centres. There is a widespread belief, however, that usual bar instability taking place in bulgeless galaxy models is impossible for the cuspy models, because of the presence of the inner Lindblad resonance for any pattern speed. At the same time there are numerical evidences that the bar instability can form a bar. We analyse this discrepancy, by accurate and diverse N-body simulations and using the calculation of normal modes. We show that bar formation in cuspy galaxies can be explained by taking into account the disc thickness. The exponential growth time is moderate for typical current disc masses (about 250 Myr), but considerably increases (factor 2 or more) upon substitution of the live halo and bulge with a rigid halo/bulge potential; meanwhile pattern speeds remain almost the same. Normal mode analysis with different disc mass favours a young bar hypothesis, according to which the bar instability saturated only recently.

description: The automated segmentation of Intracranial Arteries (IA) in Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA) plays a crucial role in the quantification of vascular morphology, significantly contributing to computer-assisted stroke research and clinical practice. Current research primarily focuses on the segmentation of single-frame DSA using proprietary datasets. However, these methods face challenges due to the inherent limitation of single-frame DSA, which only partially displays vascular contrast, thereby hindering accurate vascular structure representation. In this work, we introduce DIAS, a dataset specifically developed for IA segmentation in DSA sequences. We establish a comprehensive benchmark for evaluating DIAS, covering full, weak, and semi-supervised segmentation methods. Specifically, we propose the vessel sequence segmentation network, in which the sequence feature extraction module effectively captures spatiotemporal representations of intravascular contrast, achieving intracranial artery segmentation in 2D+Time DSA sequences. For weakly-supervised IA segmentation, we propose a novel scribble learning-based image segmentation framework, which, under the guidance of scribble labels, employs cross pseudo-supervision and consistency regularization to improve the performance of the segmentation network. Furthermore, we introduce the random patch-based self-training framework, aimed at alleviating the performance constraints encountered in IA segmentation due to the limited availability of annotated DSA data. Our extensive experiments on the DIAS dataset demonstrate the effectiveness of these methods as potential baselines for future research and clinical applications. The dataset and code are publicly available at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.11396520 and https://github.com/lseventeen/DIAS.

description: Multiple factors associated with neural tube defects (NTDs) risk have been identified, yet there is little evidence on the possible effects of maternal stressful life events. In this study, we aimed to investigate the association between stressful life events during the periconceptional period and risk of NTDs in offspring. Relevant literature was searched in PubMed, Springer Link, ScienceDirect, and Cochrane Library up to July 2023. The pooled odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) of NTDs risk with maternal stressful life events were estimated using a random effects model. Publication bias was assessed using Egger’s regression asymmetry test and Begg’s rank correlation test with Begg’s funnel plot. Analysis results showed that mothers who experienced stressful life events during the periconceptional period were at greater risk of having NTDs offspring (OR: 1.37, 95% CI: 1.08–1.73) than those who did not. In subgroup analysis, the pooled OR was 1.37 (1.13–1.67) and 1.73 (0.36–8.32) for with and without adjusting for folic acid supplementation in each included study, while was 1.37 (1.13–1.67) and 1.64 (0.39–6.88) for exposure time of three months preconception until three months post conception and one year preconception until three months post conception, respectively. This study suggests that maternal stressful life events during the periconceptional period are significantly associated with higher NTDs risk in offspring. Tailored approaches for evaluating the risk and policy of NTDs among women of childbearing age should emphasize individual stressful experiences before and during early pregnancy.

description: We investigate the inherent influence of light polarization on the intensity distribution in anisotropic media undergoing a local inhomogeneous rotation of the principal axes. Whereas in general such configuration implies a complicated interaction between geometric and dynamic phase, we show that, in a medium showing an inhomogeneous circular birefringence, the geometric phase vanishes. Due to the spin-orbit interaction, the two circular polarizations perceive reversed spatial distribution of the dynamic phase. Based upon this effect, polarization-selective lens, waveguides and beam deflectors are proposed.

description: Introduction: FKS is characterized by unilateral optic atrophy with contralateral optic disc edema. Here we describe a case of pseudo-FKS with macular star in sequential non arteritic ischaemic optic neuropathy (NAION). Case Presentation : A 67 years old gentleman presented with both eyes painless blurring of vision for 1 month, right eye followed by left eye. Patient has underlying diabetes mellitus, hypertension and hyperlipidemia.On examination, right eye vision 6/60 and left eye counting finger. Anterior segment examination was unremarkable. Fundus examination of the right eye revealed a pale optic disc ,while left eye revealed a swollen optic disc with peripapillary hemorrhages and macula star. Blood pressure was 210/120mmHg, and sugar level was 8.7mmol/L .OCT macula showed normal right eye and left eye subretinal fluid.Infective screening for tuberculosis and bartonella was negative, and tumor markers screening for malignancy was unremarkable. Contrast enhanced computed tomography (CECT) Brain done showed no evidence of space occupying lesion. A diagnosis of sequential NAION was made, and patient’s medical conditions was optimized. On follow up after 6 months, despite of optimization of his medical condition, his visual acuity remains poor with visual acuity of 6/60 on the right eye, and 6/120 on the left eye. Fundus examination showed bilateral optic atrophy with dull fovea reflex. Conclusion : Foster Kennedy syndrome with macula star may pose a diagnostic challenge. Causes of raised intracranial pressure either infective or non-infective need to be ruled out. Sequential NAION is diagnosis of exclusion that may occur in elderly with vasculopathic risk factors.

description: Two-dimensional van der Waals materials have become an established platform to engineer flat bands which can lead to strongly-correlated emergent phenomena. In particular, the family of Ta dichalcogenides in the 1\textit{T} phase presents a star-of-David charge density wave that creates a flat band at the Fermi level. For TaS$_2$ and TaSe$_2$ this flat band is at half filling leading to a magnetic insulating phase. In this work, we theoretically demonstrate that ligand substitution in the TaSe$_{2-x}$Te$_x$ system produces a transition from the magnetic insulator to a non-magnetic metal in which the flat band gets doped away from half-filling. For $x\in[{0.846},{1.231}]$ the spin-polarized flat band is self-doped and the system becomes a magnetic metal. In this regime, we show that attractive interactions promote three different spin-triplet superconducting phases as a function of $x$, corresponding to a nodal f-wave and two topologically-different chiral p-wave superconducting phases. Our results establish monolayer TaSe$_{2-x}$Te$_{x}$ as a promising platform for correlated flat band physics leading to unconventional superconducting states.

description: We present an overview of the electrical, mechanical, and thermal properties of polycrystalline graphene. Most global properties of this material, such as the charge mobility, thermal conductivity, or Young's modulus, are sensitive to its microstructure, for instance the grain size and the presence of line or point defects. Both the local and global features of polycrystalline graphene have been investigated by a variety of simulations and experimental measurements. In this review, we summarize the properties of polycrystalline graphene, and by establishing a perspective on how the microstructure impacts its large-scale physical properties, we aim to provide guidance for further optimization and improvement of applications based on this material, such as flexible and wearable electronics, and high-frequency or spintronic devices.

description: Knowledge of the charge-carrier recombination lifetime, tau, is crucial for the various applications of photovoltaic perovskites. We studied the novel inorganic perovskite, CsPbBr3 and we observe recombination dynamics beyond 1 ms below 200 K and tau approaching 100 us at room temperature. Time-resolved microwave-detected photoconductivity decay (TRMCD), used in combination with injection dependence, evidence that tau is dominated by impurity charge trapping. The observed injection dependence is well corroborated by modeling of the trap mechanism. The ultra-long decay time is also consistent with photoconductivity measurements with a continuous-wave excitation at powers corresponding to around one Sun irradiation. While in principle charge-carrier trapping may limit the photovoltaic efficiency in single-cell photovoltaic devices, it could also lead to enhanced efficiency in tandem cells as well as for alternative applications including photodetection and quantum information storage.

description: This article is the first in a series of two in which we study the vanishing cycles of curves in toric surfaces. We give a list of possible obstructions to contract vanishing cycles within a given complete linear system. Using tropical means, we show that any non-separating simple closed curve is a vanishing cycle whenever none of the listed obstructions appears.

description: We investigate the spectral distribution of the twisted Laplacian associated with uniform square-integrable bounded harmonic 1-form on typical hyperbolic surfaces of high genus. First, we estimate the spectral distribution by the supremum norm of the corresponding harmonic form. Subsequently, we show that the square-integrable bounded harmonic form exhibits a small supremum norm for typical hyperbolic surfaces of high genus. Based on these findings, we prove a uniform Weyl law for the distribution of real parts of the spectrum on typical hyperbolic surfaces.

description: A detailed knowledge of stellar activity is crucial for understanding stellar dynamos, as well as pushing exoplanet radial-velocity detection limits towards Earth analogue confirmation. We directly compare archival HARPS spectra taken at the minimum in $α$ Cen B's activity cycle to a high-activity state when clear rotational modulation of $\log{R'_{HK}}$ is visible. Relative to the inactive spectra, we find a large number of narrow pseudo-emission features in the active spectra with strengths that are rotationally modulated. These features most likely originate from plage, spots, or a combination of both. They also display radial velocity variations of $\sim$300 m s$^{-1}$ - consistent with an active region rotating across the stellar surface. Furthermore, we see evidence that some of the lines originating from the `active immaculate' photosphere appear broader relative to the `inactive immaculate' case. This may be due to enhanced contributions of e.g. magnetic bright points to these lines, which then causes additional line broadening. More detailed analysis may enable measurements of plage and spot coverage using single spectra in the future.

(CR25) Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma - A Rare Primary Tracheobronchial Tumor in Children
Creators: name: Divann Esvaran
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: Introduction: Primary pulmonary cancers in children are extremely rare. Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) of the lung is a rare form of lung cancer with incidence of 0.1 to 0.2%. The clinical symptoms of pulmonary MEC include cough and hemoptysis that resembles infective changes. It is classified into low grade and high grade histologically with varied treatment regime. Case Presentation: We report a case study of a 12-year-old boy presented with chesty cough and dyspnea since 6months associated with hemoptysis for 3 days. Chest radiograph demonstrated increased retrocardiac density suggestive of left lower lobe collapse. Contrast enhanced CT Thorax was planned thereafter which revealed a large lobulated mass at the left hilum compressing the left main bronchus causing left lower lobe collapse. Patient underwent left lower lobe sleeve resection with intra-operative findings of mass in the left main bronchus and left lower lobe. Endobronchial luminal mass was removed along with hilar lymph node excision and subsequent primary anastomosis of left main bronchus and left upper lobe bronchus. A histopathological interpretation of a low-grade endobronchial MEC was made without lymph node metastasis. Post operatively, child recovered well and allowed for discharge. Conclusion : Pulmonary MECs are typically endobronchial arising in the lobar or segmental bronchi. Complete surgical resection is the optimal treatment for low-grade tumors with excellent prognosis whilst adjunct therapy such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy are reserved for high-grade cases. A high index of suspicion is imperative for diagnosis of pulmonary MEC in cases mimicking lung tumor and non-responsive to antibiotic therapy.

description: Early-onset neonatal sepsis (EONS) remains an important cause of neonatal mortality and has many risk factors, therefore, this study aimed to investigate the perinatal risk factors for EONS. We searched CNKI, Wan Fang, VIP, CBM, PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science to compile studies regarding the incidence of neonatal early-onset sepsis, published up to 1 May 2022. To evaluate the quality of the included studies, we used the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale, and the RevMan5.3 software was used for meta-analysis. A total of 17 studies were included, with 1987 cases in the case group and 4814 cases in the control group. Meta-analysis showed that perinatal asphyxia or intrauterine distress (OR = 3.00, 95% CI: 2.18–4.13), amniotic fluid meconium contamination (OR = 4.51, 95% CI: 2.31–8.81), group B streptococcal (GBS) colonization in pregnant women (OR = 2.13, 95% CI: 1.48–3.05), chorioamnionitis (OR = 4.58, 95% CI: 2.61–8.05), premature rupture of membranes (OR = 2.63, 95% CI: 2.09–3.30), lower gestational age (OR = 1.31, 95% CI: 1.18–1.44), maternal urinary or reproductive tract infection (OR = 3.61, 95% CI: 2.14–6.11), perinatal fever (OR = 3.59, 95% CI: 2.25–5.71), very low birth weight (OR = 3.79, 95% CI: 2.14–6.73), and vaginal examination ≥3 times (OR = 7.95, 95% CI: 4.04–15.64) were the perinatal risk factors for EONS. Perinatal asphyxia or intrauterine distress, meconium contamination in amniotic fluid, GBS colonization in pregnant women, chorioamnionitis, premature rupture of membranes, lower gestational age, maternal urinary tract or reproductive tract infection, perinatal fever, very low birth weight, and vaginal examinations ≥3 times may increase the risk of EONS.
