description: There is an urgent need to understand the nature of awareness in people with severe Alzheimer's disease (AD) to ensure effective person-centered care. Objective biomarkers of awareness validated in other clinical groups (e.g., anesthesia, minimally conscious states) offer an opportunity to investigate awareness in people with severe AD. In this article we demonstrate the feasibility of using Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) combined with EEG, event related potentials (ERPs) and fMRI to assess awareness in severe AD. TMS-EEG was performed in six healthy older controls and three people with severe AD. The perturbational complexity index (PCIST) was calculated as a measure of capacity for conscious awareness. People with severe AD demonstrated a PCIST around or below the threshold for consciousness, suggesting reduced capacity for consciousness. ERPs were recorded during a visual perception paradigm. In response to viewing faces, two patients with severe AD provisionally demonstrated similar visual awareness negativity to healthy controls. Using a validated fMRI movie-viewing task, independent component analysis in two healthy controls and one patient with severe AD revealed activation in auditory, visual and fronto-parietal networks. Activation patterns in fronto-parietal networks did not significantly correlate between the patient and controls, suggesting potential differences in conscious awareness and engagement with the movie. Although methodological issues remain, these results demonstrate the feasibility of using objective measures of awareness in severe AD. We raise a number of challenges and research questions that should be addressed using these biomarkers of awareness in future studies to improve understanding and care for people with severe AD.

description: The paper presents the results of an experimental study of the intensification of heat transfer of a swirling flow in a cylindrical channel with two tangential and axial swirlers. During the experiments, such parameters were measured as: air flow in front of the vortex apparatus; hot water consumption; pressure drop in the vortex apparatus; temperature of working media at the inlet to the apparatus and at the outlet of it. A method for intensifying the heat transfer process, which is based on swirling a gas stream by its tangential supply, has been developed and investigated. Experimental studies of the intensity of heat transfer in a vortex apparatus have been carried out. The effect of gas velocity and irrigation density on the heat transfer rate has been established. In addition, experimental data are presented in the form of a dependence of the heat transfer coefficient on the ratios of the mass flow rates of liquid and gas, which confirmed the increase in heat transfer intensity with increasing gas velocity and irrigation density.

description: The set of nonzero external forces for which the zero function is in the global attractor of the 2D Navier-Stokes equations is shown to be meagre in a Fréchet topology. A criterion in terms of a Taylor expansion in complex time is used to characterize the forces in this set. This leads to several relations between certain Gevrey subclasses of $C^{\infty}$ and a new upper bound for a Gevrey norm of solutions in the attractor, valid in the strip of analyticity in time.

description: The article discusses methods to ensure the stability of the design reliability of a rural telecommunications network during its operation. In rural areas, for a number of reasons, the power supply from the power supply network is interrupted at random times. In this regard, backup power sources are provided for the power supply of OLT equipment. To provide a telecommunication network with stable power supply, it is proposed to use solar sources of electricity.
An Early Look of Comet C/2013 A1 (Siding Spring): Breathtaker or Nightmare?

description: The dynamically new comet, C/2013 A1 (Siding Spring), is to make a close approach to Mars on 2014 October 19 at 18:30 UT at a distance of 40+/-1 Martian radius. Such extremely rare event offers a precious opportunity for the spacecrafts on Mars to closely study a dynamically new comet itself as well as the planet-comet interaction. Meanwhile, the high speed meteoroids released from C/Siding Spring also pose a threat to physically damage the spacecrafts. Here we present our observations and modeling results of C/Siding Spring to characterize the comet and assess the risk posed to the spacecrafts on Mars. We find that the optical tail of C/Siding Spring is dominated by larger particles at the time of the observation. Synchrone simulation suggests that the comet was already active in late 2012 when it was more than 7 AU from the Sun. By parameterizing the dust activity with a semi-analytic model, we find that the ejection speed of C/Siding Spring is comparable to comets such as the target of the Rosetta mission, 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. Under nominal situation, the simulated dust cone will miss the planet by about 20 Martian radius. At the extreme ends of uncertainties, the simulated dust cone will engulf Mars, but the meteoric influx at Mars is still comparable to the nominal sporadic influx, seemly indicating that intense and enduring meteoroid bombardment due to C/Siding Spring is unlikely. Further simulation also suggests that gravitational disruption of the dust tail may be significant enough to be observable at Earth.

description: One of the milestones in the cosmic history is the formation of the first luminous objects and Hydrogen reionization. The standard theory of cosmic structure formation predicts that the first generation of stars were born about a few hundred million years after the Big Bang. The dark Universe was then lit up once again, and eventually filled with ultraviolet photons emitted from stars, galaxies, and quasars. The exact epoch of the cosmic reionization and the details of the process, even the dominant sources, are not known except the fact that the universe was reionized early on. Signatures of reionization are expected to be imprinted in the cosmic microwave background radiation, especially in its large scale polarization. Future CMB experiments, together with other probes such as 21 cm surveys, will provide rich information on the process of reionization. We review recent studies on reionization. The implications from available observations in a wide range of wavelengths are discussed. Results from state-of-the-art computer simulations are presented. Finally, we discuss prospects for exploring the first few hundred million years of the cosmic history.

description: The Ryu-Takayanagi formula implies many general properties of entanglement entropies in holographic theories. We review the known properties, such as continuity, strong subadditivity, and monogamy of mutual information, and fill in gaps in some of the previously-published proofs. We also add a few new properties, including: properties of the map from boundary regions to bulk regions implied by the RT formula, such as monotonicity; conditions under which subadditivity-type inequalities are saturated; and an inequality concerning reflection-symmetric states. We attempt to draw lessons from these properties about the structure of the reduced density matrix in holographic theories.

A stable, reproducible and novel diffraction pattern is observed unveiling long range spatial correlations and structural-symmetry at various length scales for a large variety of wings. While matching the sensitivity of SEM for such microstructures, it is highly efficient for extracting long range structural organization with potentially broad applicability.

New critical exponents in a fully parabolic quasilinear Keller-Segel and applications to volume filling models

description: We carry on our studies related to the fully parabolic quasilinear Keller-Segel system started in [6] and continued in [7]. In the above mentioned papers we proved finite-time blowup of radially symmetric solutions to the quasilinear Keller-Segel system if the nonlinear chemosensitivity is strong enough and an adequate relation between nonlinear diffusion and chemosensitivity holds. On the other hand we proved that once chemosensitivity is weak enough solutions exist globally in time. The present paper is devoted to looking for critical exponents distinguishing between those two behaviors. Moreover, we apply our results to the so-called volume filling models with a power-type probability jump function. The most important consequence of our investigations of the latter is a critical mass phenomenon found in dimension 2. Namely we find a value m0 such that when the solution to the two-dimensional volume filling Keller-Segel system starts with mass smaller than m0, then it is bounded, while for initial data with mass exceeding m0 solutions are unbounded, though being defined for any positive time.

description: We present an algorithm for classifying the nearby transient objects detected by the Gaia satellite. The algorithm will use the low-resolution spectra from the blue and red spectro-photometers on board of the satellite. Taking a Bayesian approach we model the spectra using the newly constructed reference spectral library and literature-driven priors. We find that for magnitudes brighter than 19 in Gaia $G$ magnitude, around 75\% of the transients will be robustly classified. The efficiency of the algorithm for SNe type I is higher than 80\% for magnitudes $G\leq$18, dropping to approximately 60\% at magnitude $G$=19. For SNe type II, the efficiency varies from 75 to 60\% for $G\leq$18, falling to 50\% at $G$=19. The purity of our classifier is around 95\% for SNe type I for all magnitudes. For SNe type II it is over 90\% for objects with $G \leq$19. GS-TEC also estimates the redshifts with errors of $σ_z \le$ 0.01 and epochs with uncertainties $σ_t \simeq$ 13 and 32 days for type SNe I and SNe II respectively. GS-TEC has been designed to be used on partially calibrated Gaia data. However, the concept could be extended to other kinds of low resolution spectra classification for ongoing surveys.

description: Within predictive processing two kinds of learning can be distinguished: parameter learning and structure learning. In Bayesian parameter learning, parameters under a specific generative model are continuously being updated in light of new evidence. However, this learning mechanism cannot explain how new parameters are added to a model. Structure learning, unlike parameter learning, makes structural changes to a generative model by altering its causal connections or adding or removing parameters. Whilst these two types of learning have recently been formally differentiated, they have not been empirically distinguished. The aim of this research was to empirically differentiate between parameter learning and structure learning on the basis of how they affect pupil dilation. Participants took part in a within-subject computer-based learning experiment with two phases. In the first phase, participants had to learn the relationship between cues and target stimuli. In the second phase, they had to learn a conditional change in this relationship. Our results show that the learning dynamics were indeed qualitatively different between the two experimental phases, but in the opposite direction as we originally expected. Participants were learning more gradually in the second phase compared to the first phase. This might imply that participants built multiple models from scratch in the first phase (structure learning) before settling on one of these models. In the second phase, participants possibly just needed to update the probability distribution over the model parameters (parameter learning).

description: The Multiple Comparison Procedures with Modeling Techniques (MCP-Mod) framework has been recently approved by the U.S. Food and Administration and European Medicines Agency as fit-per-purpose for phase II studies. Nonetheless, this approach relies on the asymptotic properties of Maximum Likelihood (ML) estimators, which might not be reasonable for small sample sizes. In this paper, we derived improved ML estimators and correction for their covariance matrices in the censored Weibull regression model based on the corrective and preventive approaches. We performed two simulation studies to evaluate ML and improved ML estimators with their covariance matrices in (i) a regression framework (ii) the Multiple Comparison Procedures with Modeling Techniques framework. We have shown that improved ML estimators are less biased than ML estimators yielding Wald-type statistics that controls type I error without loss of power in both frameworks. Therefore, we recommend the use of improved ML estimators in the MCP-Mod approach to control type I error at nominal value for sample sizes ranging from 5 to 25 subjects per dose.

description: We show that the damping rate of elementary excitations of hybrid systems close to a phase transition can undergo a remarkable resonance like enhancement before mode softening takes place. In particular, we consider the friction of a collective density wave in a homogeneous superfluid of weakly interacting bosonic atoms coupled to the electromagnetic field of a single mode optical resonator. Here the Beliaev damping can thus be controlled by an external laser drive and be enhanced by several orders of magnitude.

description: Discusses the formalization of the procedure for constructing an adaptive control system with a reference model based on the Lyapunov function. It is shown that the asymptotic stability of the extended system of differential equations guarantees accurate tracking of the desired output signal of the model. At the same time, the expediency of analyzing the asymptotic stability of the system in extended space using the Lyapunov function is shown. The above algorithms help to stabilize the computational matrix inversion procedure and thereby increase the accuracy of estimating the adjustable parameter in an adaptive control system.
Simplified Variable-Scaled Min Sum LDPC decoder for irregular LDPC Codes

description: Min-Sum decoding is widely used for decoding LDPC codes in many modern digital video broadcasting decoding due to its relative low complexity and robustness against quantization error. However, the suboptimal performance of the Min-Sum affects the integrated performance of wireless receivers. In this paper, we present the idea of adapting the scaling factor of the Min-Sum decoder with iterations through a simple approximation. For the ease of implementation the scaling factor can be changed in a staircase fashion. The stair step is designed to optimize the decoder performance and the required storage for its different values. The variable scaling factor proposed algorithm produces a non-trivial improvement of the performance of the Min-Sum decoding as verified by simulation results.

description: Recently, regulated phthalates do not have validated methods for testing, hence their presence cannot be estimated in the consumer products. So, a rapid, sensitive and reliable method was developed for the separation and quantitative analysis of all 28 regulated phthalate contents from the childcare items, toys and textile test specimens. Test specimens were extracted in tetrahydrofuran at 60°C and 60 min sonication and purified by centrifugation and filtration. Phthalate contents were separated on a DB-5MS column using helium gas as mobile phase under Sim/Scan mode. Pretreatment factors such as extraction solvent, extraction method, dilution ratio and extraction time were optimised. Under the optimised conditions, the targets had good linearity (r2 ≥ 0.9995) in the range of 0.2–10.0 mg L−1. Recoveries were between 100 ± 15% for the target analytes. Limit of quantification was between 0.03 and 0.05 mg L−1. The developed analytical method has been successfully applied for extraction of regulated phthalates from real test specimens containing multiple types of matrices. Detected phthalates were in the range of 5.18–1798.14 mg L−1.

description: INTRODUCTION: In the past 5 years, there have been several advances in the management of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). We aim for a new guideline to update the most recent guideline published in 2019. We present the prospective operating procedure and technical summary protocol in the manuscript. METHODS: 'Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation' (GRADE) will be followed in the development of the guideline, approach as laid out in the GRADE handbook, supported by the WHO. The guideline development group is formed by a variety of disciplines, across both primary and secondary care that took part in an online Delphi process and split into key areas. A final consensus list of thematic questions within a 'patient, intervention, comparison, outcome' format has been produced and agreed in the final phase of the Delphi process.There will be a detailed technical evidence review with source data including systematic reviews appraised with AMSATAR 2 tool (Assessment of multiple systematic reviews), randomised controlled trial data that will be judged for risk of bias with the Cochrane tool and observational studies for safety concerns assessed through the Robins-I tool. Based on the available evidence, some of the recommendations will be based on GRADE while others will be best practice statements.A full Delphi process will be used to make recommendations using online response systems.This set of procedures has been approved by the Clinical Services and Standards Committee, the British Society of Gastroenterology executive board and aligned with IBD UK standards.

description: This study investigated the performance of ZrO2-pumice/H2O2-catalysed ozonation (O3/H2O2/Zr-pumice) system in the decolourisation of Rhodamine B (RhB) dye from aqueous solutions. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, Scanning Electronic Microscope, X-ray fluorescence, X-ray diffraction, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area, and Barrett-Joyner-Halenda pore size and volume analyses were employed to characterise the Zr-pumice. Central composite design-response surface methodology (CCD-RSM) and artificial neural network (ANN) approaches were employed to model the association between operating variables and RhB removal. CCD-RSM method suggested a reduced second-order polynomial model with R2 = 0.9998, and ANN method developed an ANN model with R2 = 0.9948. The levels of operating variables were displayed to be optimum at pH = 9.31, reaction time = 20 min, Zr-pumice = 0.9 g/L, RhB = 100 mg/L and H2O2 = 4.6 mmol/L, according to CCD-RSM and genetic algorithm approaches. Synergistic effect assessment revealed about 51.9% increase of removal efficiency in the hybrid system of O3/H2O2/Zr-pumice. The findings related to HO• radical-scavenging test illustrated that the major contribution of removal occurs through radical mechanism. Maximum TOC removal was determined to be 64.4% for RhB solution, and the BOD5/COD ratio increased from 0.08 to 0.56 after 150 min reaction time for a textile industry wastewater sample. Reusability test demonstrated that the Zr-pumice has a reasonable recyclability capacity even after five cycles of reuse. In conclusion, the O3/H2O2/Zr-pumice hybrid system can be suggested as a potential process in the treatment of dyeing wastewaters.

description: Modeling the structure of a distributed network can be based on the architecture of an associative infocommunication network, which displays the processes and mechanisms of interaction of components in the corresponding nodes of the structure. It is shown that for the description and functional representation of a distributed network, it is appropriate to apply decomposition for the field of software engineering, the purpose of which is to create theories that interact with each other according to well-defined rules. A conceptual representation of the distributed space behavior model is given. The paper discusses the modeling of the evolutionary search.

description: One of the most important challenges in network science is to quantify the information encoded in complex network structures. Disentangling randomness from organizational principles is even more demanding when networks have a multiplex nature. Multiplex networks are multilayer systems of $N$ nodes that can be linked in multiple interacting and co-evolving layers. In these networks, relevant information might not be captured if the single layers were analyzed separately. Here we demonstrate that such partial analysis of layers fails to capture significant correlations between weights and topology of complex multiplex networks. To this end, we study two weighted multiplex co-authorship and citation networks involving the authors included in the American Physical Society. We show that in these networks weights are strongly correlated with multiplex structure, and provide empirical evidence in favor of the advantage of studying weighted measures of multiplex networks, such as multistrength and the inverse multiparticipation ratio. Finally, we introduce a theoretical framework based on the entropy of multiplex ensembles to quantify the information stored in multiplex networks that would remain undetected if the single layers were analyzed in isolation.

description: The new Schiff base ligand, N,N’-(3,3ʹ-dimethyl-[1,1ʹ-biphenyl]-4,4ʹ-diyl)bis(1-(4-bromophenyl)methanimine (SBL), has been synthesised through condensation of 3,3ʹ-dimethyl-[1,1ʹ-biphenyl]-4,4ʹ-diamine (1) with 4-bromobenzaldehyde in the presence of acetic acid as catalyst and characterised by spectroscopic data. The Schiff base ligand (SBL) was subjected to evaluate its potential to remove heavy metals copper, cobalt and zinc from polluted water under various pH, contact time, concentration of metal ions, concentration of SBL and temperature. The results showed that SBL has excellent potential to remove above metals at pH 8, 1.5 h contact time, low concentration of metal ions, low concentration of SBL and at 25ºC temperature, and the potential to remove metal ions is 93% for Cu, 81% for Co and 79% for Zn. The SBL was also evaluated for its antimicrobial potential against P. aureginosa, K. pneumonia, E. coli, S. dysentria, P. vulgaris and S. aureus bacteria and C. albican and A. niger yeast. The activities results showed that SBL was moderately to slightly active in comparison with the ciprofloxacin for bacteria and fluconazole for yeast. Toxicity of SBL was also measured with its various doses such as 0.1, 1, 10, 100, 500 and 1000 mg/Kg body weight of mice through daily oral administration. Sub-acute toxicity effects were studied for 15 days to observe the changes in behaviour and mortality. The highest dose of SBL did not cause any mortality or change in the overall behaviour of the treated mice, SBL has no toxicity and is safe for the oral administration. The biochemical and histopathological studies in liver and kidney were also estimated, the results showed variation in estimated parameters.

description: BACKGROUND: Therapeutic agents with novel mechanisms of action are needed to combat the growing epidemic of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and related metabolic syndromes. Liver X receptor (LXR) agonists possess preclinical efficacy yet produce side effects due to excessive lipogenesis. Anticipating that many beneficial and detrimental effects of LXR agonists are mediated by ABCA1 and SREPB1c expression, respectively, we hypothesized that a phenotypic optimization strategy prioritizing selective ABCA1 induction would identify an efficacious lead compound with an improved side effect profile over existing LXRβ agonists. METHODS: We synthesized and characterized a novel small molecule for selective induction of ABCA1 vs. SREBP1c in vitro. This compound was evaluated in both wild-type mice and a high-fat diet (HFD) mouse model of obesity-driven diabetes through functional, biochemical, and metabolomic analysis. FINDINGS: Six weeks of oral administration of our lead compound attenuated weight gain, glucose intolerance, insulin signaling deficits, and adiposity. Global metabolomics revealed suppression of gluconeogenesis, free fatty acids, and pro-inflammatory metabolites. Target identification linked these beneficial effects to selective LXRβ agonism and PPAR/RXR antagonism. INTERPRETATION: Our observations in the HFD model, combined with the absence of lipogenesis and neutropenia in WT mice, support this novel approach to therapeutic development for T2D and related conditions.

description: Effective removal of Malachite Green (MG) dye was recorded using environmental friendly starch-based hydrogel adsorbents. Because of its full biodegradability, zero-toxicity and sustainability, Starch has received further consideration for designing sustainable hydrogels by combining with natural sources or synthetics. In this research, the graft copolymerisation of polyacrylic acid and/or acrylamide onto potato starch is among the most successful techniques to introduce specific functional groups that significantly change their physico-chemical characteristics. Starch grafted acrylic acid-acrylamide hydrogels were synthesised utilising a technique of aqueous solution polymerisation and examined their performance for MG adsorption. The effect of initiator concentration, monomer concentration and polymerisation temperature was discussed. FTIR, XRD and SEM analysis techniques characterised the optimised and most efficient hydrogel. The swelling behaviour has been indicated as a swelling time function. The influence on the dye removal by different operating parameters: hydrogel dose, contact time, initial dye concentration and temperature was studied. The adsorption models of Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin have been implemented to study the isothermic adsorption. The pseudo-second-order model outlined the MG adsorption well. Dye adsorption improved with increasing temperature proposing the endothermic nature of the adsorption. For five cycles, the stability of the most efficient hydrogel has been examined.

description: We introduce Bézier projection as an element-based local projection methodology for B-splines, NURBS, and T-splines. This new approach relies on the concept of Bézier extraction and an associated operation introduced here, spline reconstruction, enabling the use of Bézier projection in standard finite element codes. Bézier projection exhibits provably optimal convergence and yields projections that are virtually indistinguishable from global $L^2$ projection. Bézier projection is used to develop a unified framework for spline operations including cell subdivision and merging, degree elevation and reduction, basis roughening and smoothing, and spline reparameterization. In fact, Bézier projection provides a \emph{quadrature-free} approach to refinement and coarsening of splines. In this sense, Bézier projection provides the fundamental building block for $hpkr$-adaptivity in isogeometric analysis.

description: The focus of this study was to modify the low cost, environment friendly and abundantly available dull pink clay (DPC) with cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB, a cationic surfactant) in order to increase its adsorption capacity. Surfactant-modified clays are known to enhance the adsorption capacity of hydrophobic organic contaminants from aqueous solution owing to their increased organic content. Herein, we described the modification of DPC with CTAB to produce modified adsorbent (CTAB-DPC) and its application for adsorptive removal of amaranth (AM) dye from water. The surface morphology of CTAB-DPC was revealed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area, pore volume and pore diameter of CTAB-DPC was found to be 271.85 m2/g, 0.464 cm3/g and 10.068 nm, respectively. The adsorption of AM on CTAB-DPC strongly followed the Langmuir and Dubinin-Radushkevich isothermal models; whereas the kinetics studies revealed that the adsorption process was better explained by pseudo second order. At all temperatures the values of ΔG° are negative (−14.06 to −14.98 KJ/mol and −20.654 to −21.997 KJ/mol for DPC and CTAB-DPC, respectively), which shows that adsorption of AM onto DPC and CTAB-DPC is feasible and spontaneous at all temperatures. The CTAB-DPC displayed remarkable efficiency towards the removal of widely used AM from aqueous system. The results revealed that the maximum removal efficiency (~97%, 73 mg/g) was achieved at 0.5 g/L of CTAB-DPC dose, 50 ppm AM concentration, pH 2 and temperature 55°C, which suggests that CTAB-DPC could be an effective adsorbent that could easily be scaled-up into adsorption applications.

description: The growing demand for chicken meat in Brazil encourages poultry producers to invest in antibiotics as growth promoters to ensure the quality of their products. Among these, the antibiotic tylosin is a widely used growth promoter that assists in the treatment of necrotic enteritis. Antibiotics usually are not totally metabolised and may be excreted in its original form, thereby contaminating different environmental compartments and may induce microbial resistance. Therefore, analyses of such contaminants in different matrices are important to perform risk assessments and this often depends on the development of extraction methods to allow the quantification of the substance at low concentrations. This work presents a simple and cheap methodology which employs low-temperature partitioning extraction (LTPE) for the analysis of tylosin in poultry litter samples by HPLC-UV and HPLC-MS/MS. The analytical method developed was validated according to Brazilian regulating agencies (ANVISA and MAPA) and resulted in method detection (LDM) and quantification (LQM) limits of 6.32 μg.kg−1 and 21.12 μg.kg−1, respectively. The analysis of the waste from a chicken broiler company, located in Minas Gerais, confirmed the adequacy of the method, since it detected tylosin at average concentrations of 135.22 μg.kg−1 and 264.92 μg.kg−1 in poultry litter from sheds containing birds in the rearing and production phase, respectively.
