description: Abstract

Diabetes is a chronic illness of serious concern that has a significant impact on the health of millions of people worldwide. This condition affects how the body processes blood sugar, and if left untreated, it can lead to serious health issues. Diabetes can seriously harm vital organs, especially the heart, kidneys, eyes, and nervous system as a whole, if blood sugar levels are not managed. Among diabetes' most devastating effects is its impact on vision through diabetic retinopathy, a condition that targets and damages the eye's essential blood vessels, specifically in the retina, which captures light and enables sight. Over time, elevated blood glucose levels systematically destroy and compromise the small vessels responsible for retinal health. Initially, these affected vessels become swollen and begin leaking, but as the condition worsens, the eye attempts to compensate by creating new, irregular blood vessels across the retina's surface, which can severely impair vision. The progression of this eye disease follows distinct phases - it begins as a mild condition where the retinal blood vessels develop small, bubble-like swellings, and can advance to a more dangerous stage known as proliferative retinopathy, which may result in the retina detaching from the eye and cause irreversible blindness. This research investigates the prevalence rates of Diabetic Retinopathy on both global and Indian scales, utilizing data spanning from 2020 to 2024. Our analysis draws from multiple authoritative sources, including the American Diabetes Association, Indian Diabetes Federation, World Health Organization and renowned academic databases such as Springer, IEEE, and Web of Science. The findings reveal deeply concerning statistics, and through our comprehensive dataset analysis, we have developed predictive models that forecast troubling future trends for this condition. The combined data from these prestigious sources provides a robust foundation for understanding both the current state and projected trajectory of this serious diabetes complication.

Non-adiabatic mass correction to the rovibrational states of molecules. Numerical application for the H$_2^+$ molecular ion

description: General transformation expressions of the second-order non-adiabatic Hamiltonian of the atomic nuclei, including the kinetic-energy correction terms, are derived upon the change from laboratory-fixed Cartesian coordinates to general curvilinear coordinate systems commonly used in rovibrational computations. The kinetic-energy or so-called "mass-correction" tensor elements are computed with the stochastic variational method and floating explicitly correlated Gaussian functions for the H$_2^+$ molecular ion in its ground electronic state. (Further numerical applications for the $^4$He$_2^+$ molecular ion are presented in the forthcoming paper, Paper II.) The general, curvilinear non-adiabatic kinetic energy operator expressions are used in the examples and non-adiabatic rovibrational energies and corrections are determined by solving the rovibrational Schrödinger equation including the diagonal Born--Oppenheimer as well as the mass-tensor corrections.

description: We present an analysis of gas densities in the central R=300 parsecs of the Milky Way, focusing on three clouds: GCM-0.02-0.07 (the 50 km/s cloud), GCM-0.13-0.08 (the 20 km/s cloud), and GCM0.25+0.01 (the "Brick"). Densities are determined using observations of the J=(3-2), (4-3), (5-4), (10-9), (18-17), (19-18), (21-20), and (24-23) transitions of the molecule HC3N. We find evidence of at least two excitation regimes for HC3N and constrain the low-excitation component to have a density less than 10^4 cm^-3 and the high-excitation component to have a density between 10^5 and 10^6 cm^-3. This is much less than densities of 10^7 cm^-3 that are found in Sgr B2, the most actively star-forming cloud in the Galactic center. This is consistent with the requirement of a higher density threshold for star formation in the Galactic center than is typical in the Galactic disk. We are also able to constrain the column density of each component in order to determine the mass fraction of 'dense' (n>10^5 cm^-3) gas for these clouds. We find that this is ~15% for all three clouds. Applying the results of our models to ratios of the (10-9) and (3-2) line across the entire central R=300 pc, we find that the fraction of gas with n>10^4 cm^-3 increases inward of a radius of ~140 pc, consistent with the predictions of recent models for the gas dynamics in this region. Our observations show that HC3N is an excellent molecule for probing the density structure of clouds in the Galactic center.

description: (Abridged) We have used optical spectroscopy to investigate the radio- selected active galaxy populations in a sample of 20 nearby Abell clusters. The spectra were used to characterize the galaxies as AGN or galaxies forming stars at rates comparable to or greater than the Milky Way. A significant population of star forming galaxies with large amounts of nuclear dust extinction were revealed. This extinction eliminates bluer emission lines such as [OII], meaning their star formation could easily be overlooked in studies which focus on such features. Around 20% of cluster star forming galaxies have such spectra, and their radial distribution suggests they are the consequence of some cluster environmental effect. We note that galaxies of this type may be identified using their 4000-Angstrom break strengths. We also find that discrepancies in reported radio luminosity functions for AGN are likely the result of classification differences. There exists a large population of cluster galaxies whose radio fluxes, FIR fluxes, and optical magnitudes suggest their radio emission may be powered by stars, yet their spectra lack emission lines. Understanding the nature of these galaxies is critical to assessing the importance of AGN in the radio luminosity function at low luminosities.

description: We study the photogalvanic effect caused by a simultaneous action of circular-polarized interband and linearly-polarized intraband illuminations. It is found that, in such conditions, the steady photocurrent appears. The effect originates from the valley-selective pumping by the circular light, the trigonal asymmetry of the valleys together with the even asymmetry of the linearly-polarized light, that produces a polar in-plane asymmetry of the electron and hole distribution functions, leading to the photocurrent. The approach is based on the solution of the classical kinetic equation for carriers with accounting for the quantum interband excitation.

description: 2D heterostructures are more than a sum of the parent 2D materials, but are also a product of the interlayer coupling, which can induce new properties. In this paper we present a method to tune the interlayer coupling in Bi2Se3/MoS2 2D heterostructures by regulating the oxygen presence in the atmosphere, while applying laser or thermal energy. Our data suggests the interlayer coupling is tuned through the diffusive intercalation and de-intercalation of oxygen molecules. When one layer of Bi2Se3 is grown on monolayer MoS2, an influential interlayer coupling is formed that quenches the signature photoluminescence (PL) peaks. However, thermally annealing in the presence of oxygen disrupts the interlayer coupling, facilitating the emergence of the MoS2 PL peak. DFT calculations predict intercalated oxygen increases the interlayer separation ~17%, disrupting the interlayer coupling and inducing the layers to behave more electronically independent. The interlayer coupling can then be restored by thermally annealing in N2 or Ar, where the peaks will re-quench. Hence, this is an interesting oxygen-induced switching between "non-radiative" and "radiative" exciton recombination. This switching can also be accomplished locally, controllably, and reversibly using a low-power focused laser, while changing the environment from pure N2 to air. This allows for the interlayer coupling to be precisely manipulated with submicron spatial resolution, facilitating site-programmable 2D light-emitting pixels whose emission intensity could be precisely varied by a factor exceeding 200x. Our results show that these atomically-thin 2D heterostructures may be excellent candidates for oxygen sensing.

description: Studies of the crab cavities at KEKB revealed that the RF phase could shift by up to 50o within ~50 us during a quench; while the cavity voltage is still at approximately 75% of its nominal amplitude. If such a failure were to occur on the HL-LHC crab cavities, it is likely that the machine would sustain substantial damage to the beam line and surrounding infrastructure due to uncontrolled beam loss before the machine protection system could dump the beam. We have developed a low-level RF system model, including detuning mechanisms and beam loading, and use this to simulate the behaviour of a crab cavity during a quench, modeling the low-level RF system, detuning mechanisms and beam loading. We supplement this with measurement data of the actual RF response of the proof of principle Double-Quarter Wave Crab Cravity during a quench. Extrapolating these measurements to the HL-LHC, we show that Lorentz Force detuning is the dominant effect leading to phase shifts in the crab cavity during quenches; rather than pressure detuning which is expected to be dominant for the KEKB crab cavities. The total frequency shift for the HL-LHC crab cavities during quenches is expected to be about 460 Hz, leading to a phase shift of no more than 3o. The results of the quench model are read into a particle tracking simulation, SixTrack, and used to determine the effect of quenches on the HL-LHC beam. The quench model has been benchmarked against the KEKB experimental measurements. In this paper we present the results of the simulations on a crab cavity failure for HL-LHC as well as for the SPS and show that beam loss is negligible when using a realistic low-level RF response.

description: In this paper we describe the insights from an exploratory qualitative pilot study testing the feasibility of a solution that would encourage older adults to participate in online crowdsourcing tasks in a non-computer scenario. Therefore, we developed an Android TV application using Amara API to retrieve subtitles for TEDx talks which allows the participants to detect and categorize errors to support the quality of the translation and transcription processes. It relies on the older adults' innate skills as long-time native language users and the motivating factors of this socially and personally beneficial task. The study allowed us to verify the underlying concept of using Smart TVs as interfaces for crowdsourcing, as well as possible barriers, including the interface, configuration issues, topics and the process itself. We have also assessed the older adults' interaction and engagement with this TV-enabled online crowdsourcing task and we are convinced that the design of our setup addresses some key barriers to crowdsourcing by older adults. It also validates avenues for further research in this area focused on such considerations as autonomy and freedom of choice, familiarity, physical and cognitive comfort as well as building confidence and the edutainment value.

It is shown that the $μ^{+}μ^{-} \rightarrow μ^{+}γ^{*} γ^{*} μ^{-}\rightarrow μ^{+}τ\barτμ^{-}$ process leads to a remarkable improvement in the existing experimental bounds on the anomalous magnetic and electric dipole moments of the tau-lepton.

All the Comforts of Hell: Doughboys and American Mass Culture in the First World War
Creators: name: Hauser, Mark
Publisher: name: Carnegie Mellon University
Year: 2019
Subjects: History

description: American soldiers used the scale and scope of their needs for leisure and recreation during World War I to push army officers and welfare secretaries to reshape the production, distribution, and consumption patterns constituting mass culture. By observing these developments, this dissertation improves our understanding of the social history of the military and the history of American capitalism. Mass conscription of four million recruits created an unprecedented army marked by the racial, ethnic, and class
diversity. Progressive administrators from seven welfare organizations and the War Department organized entertainment and morale programs on their behalf, but also
reaffirmed segregation and racism. Going beyond interpretations of wartime welfare as an effort to remake young men or replicate middle-class lifestyles, I borrow from and contribute to business and consumer history to illustrate individuals’ ability to reshape institutions. Utilizing diaries, letters, memoirs, correspondence, plans, and records from soldiers, officers, welfare organizations, and corporations, collected from forty-five archives in nineteen states and Washington, DC, I demonstrate how welfare officials recruited experts from Sears, Standard Oil, the Keith vaudeville circuit, and other companies to modernize factories, improve shipping networks, and popularize new consumer goods. As the American Library Association, Commission on Training Camp Activities, and YMCA structured informal leisure activities like reading, singing, and dancing, they also embraced business and management techniques to study troops’ interests and circulate feedback. Chautauqua tents, Liberty Theatres (formed by Marc Klaw of the Theatrical Syndicate), and Play Factories run by the Services of Supply provided content, infrastructure, and logistics for professional and soldier stage shows. As troops’ demanded more mechanized entertainments including phonographs and movie
projectors, welfare workers adopted new technologies to expand their exhibition capacities. CTCA officials studied conscripts’ preferences to teach sports like boxing and
discover their favorite baseball gear, and gradually accepted spectator sports that troops and Knights of Columbus coaches and trainers had initially promoted. Servicemen even bought mass-produced cigarettes, chocolates, razors, and cameras from army post exchanges and welfare canteens that protected consumers from price gouging. In every instance, “soldier-consumers” pressured welfare administrators to restructure welfare programs according to troops’ needs and shaped mass culture.

The results are in agreement with a model which accounts for fluctuations of the dissipative scale with the intensity of energy dissipation. It is shown that the assumption of a fixed dissipative scale leads to a different scaling with Reynolds which is not compatible with numerical results.

The two cell populations are initially separated and set to migrate antagonistically towards an in-between stripe of free substrate. After contact, their interface moves towards the population of normal cells. We interpret the velocity and traction force data taken before and after contact thanks to a hydrodynamic description of collectively migrating cohesive cell sheets. The kinematics of cells, before and after contact, allows us to estimate the relative material parameters for both cell lines. As predicted by the model, the transformed cell population with larger collective stresses pushes the wild type cell population.

description: Microkernel-based architectures have gained an increasing
interest and relevance for embedded systems. These can
not only provide real-time guarantees but also offer strong security
properties which become increasingly significant in certain
application domains such as automotive systems. Nevertheless,
the functionality of those complex systems often needs to be distributed
across a network of control units for various reasons (e.g.
physical location, scalability, separation). Although microkernels
have been commercially established, distributed systems like these
have not been a major focus. This is basically originated by the
fact that – in the microkernel world – policy, device drivers
and protocol stacks are userspace concerns and rather left to
be solved by the particular application domain. Following the
principle of least privilege, we therefore developed a distributed
access-control framework for all network-based communication
in microkernel-based systems that can be generically deployed.
Our design not only enforces security properties such as integrity
but is also scalable without adding too much overhead in terms
of run time or code.

description: Over the past two decades, significant developments
were introduced within the vehicular domain, evolving the
modern vehicle into a network of dozens of embedded systems
each hosting one or more applications. Communications within
this distributed environment while adhering to safety-critical
and secure systems guidelines implies the formulation of a
comprehensive and consistent communications policy. Creating
this policy is a complex, error-prone and labor-intensive task,
requiring detailed knowledge of possible communication paths
between all possible components of the system. For this reason,
it is often skipped, trusting that each task will behave as
intended and interact only with its peers. Traditional testing
provides sufficient confidence to allow certification. Nevertheless,
the existing process ignores malicious interference, whereby an
adversary compromises a low-criticality process or subsystem
and uses that to attack other subsystems, effectively taking over
the vehicle. In this paper, we propose a framework to build a
secure communications policy gradually by integrating it through
the design and life cycle of vehicle’s software components. We
also propose a security module which acts as a connection policy
checker vetting the incoming and outgoing communications and
enforcing the distributed security policy.

The non-trivial braid groups that can be represented using the four normed division algebras are $B_2$ and $B_3^c$, exactly those required to represent a single generation of fermions in terms of simple three strand ribbon braids. These braided fermion states can be identified with the basis states of the minimal left ideals of the Clifford algebra $C\ell(6)$, generated from the nested left actions of the complex octonions $\mathbb{C}\otimes\mathbb{O}$ on itself. That is, the ribbon spectrum can be related to octonion algebras. Some speculative ideas relating to ongoing research that attempts to construct a unified theory based on braid groups and Hurwitz algebras are discussed.

description: The rapid development of the embedded systems
and the wide use of them in many sensitive fields require
safeguarding their communications. Internet Protocol Security
(IPsec) is widely used to solve network security problems by
providing confidentiality and integrity for the communications
in the network, but it introduces communication overhead.
This overhead becomes a critical factor with embedded
systems because of their low computing power and limited
resources. In this research, we studied the overhead of using
embedded IPsec in constrained resource systems, which run
microkernel operating system (OS), in terms of the network
latency and throughput. To conduct our experiment first, we
ran the test with an unmodified network stack, and then we
ran the same test with the modified network stack which
contains the IPsec implementation. Later, we compared the
results obtained from these two sets of experiments to examine
the overhead. Our research demonstrated that the overhead
imposed by IPsec protocols is small and well within the
capabilities of even low cost microcontrollers such as the one
used in the Raspberry Pi computer.

description: The Internet evolved from a collection of computers to today’s agglomeration of all sort of devices (e.g.
printers, phones, coffee makers, cameras and so on) a large part of which contain security vulnerabilities. The
current wide scale attacks are, in most cases, simple replays of the original Morris Worm of the mid-80s.
The effects of these attacks are equally devastating because they affect huge numbers of connected devices.
The reason for this lack of progress is that software developers will keep writing vulnerable software due to
problems associated with the way software is designed and implemented and market realities. So in order to
contain the problem we need effective control of network communications and more specifically, we need to
vet all network connections made by an application on the premise that if we can prevent an attacker from
reaching his victim, the attack cannot take place. This paper presents a comprehensive network security
framework, including a well-defined applications programming interface (API) that allows fine-grained and
flexible control of network connections. In this way, we can finally instantiate the principles of dynamic
network control and protect vulnerable applications from network attacks.

description: Over the past few years, significant developments
were introduced within the vehicular domain. The modern
vehicle becomes a network of dozens of embedded systems which
collaborate together. While these improvements have increased
the efficiency of the vehicle, they have introduced new potential
risks. Threat modeling has gained a central role to identifying the
threats that affect different subsystems inside the vehicle. In most
cases, threat modeling was implemented either for one subsystem
or based on a specific perspective such as the external threat
surfaces only. In this work, we tried to revise the existing threat
modeling efforts in the vehicular domain. We reassembled them
and extracted their main characteristics to build a comprehensive
threat model. This general model could be used to identify the
different threats against the vehicular domain. Furthermore,
reusable attack trees could be derived from this general model.

description: We develop a mathematical theory for a class of compressible viscoelastic rate-type fluids with stress diffusion. Our approach is based on the concepts used in the nowadays standard theory of compressible Newtonian fluids as renormalization, effective viscous flux identity, compensated compactness. The presence of the extra stress, however, requires substantial modification of these techniques, in particular, a new version of the effective viscous flux identity is derived. With help of these tools, we show the existence of global--in--time weak solutions for any finite energy initial data.

description: The elastic network (EN) is a prime model that describes the long-time dynamics of biomolecules. However, the use of harmonic potentials renders this model insufficient for studying large conformational changes of proteins (e.g. stretching of proteins, folding and thermal unfolding). Here, we extend the capabilities of the EN model by using a harmonic approximation described by Lennard-Jones (LJ) interactions for far contacts and native contacts obtained from the standard overlap criterion as in the case of Go-like models. While our model is validated against the EN model by reproducing the equilibrium properties for a number of proteins, we also show that the model is suitable for the study of large conformation changes by providing various examples. In particular, this is illustrated on the basis of pulling simulations that predict with high accuracy the experimental data on the rupture force of the studied proteins. Furthermore, in the case of DDFLN4 protein, our pulling simulations highlight the advantages of our model with respect to Go-like approaches, where the latter fail to reproduce previous results obtained by all-atom simulations that predict an additional characteristic peak for this protein. In addition, folding simulations of small peptides yield different folding times for alpha-helix and beta-hairpin, in agreement with experiment, in this way providing further opportunities for the application of our model in studying large conformational changes of proteins. In contrast to the EN model, our model is suitable for both normal mode analysis and molecular dynamics simulation. We anticipate that the proposed model will find applications in a broad range of problems in biology, including, among others, protein folding and thermal unfolding.

description: Raw water (RW) from the Bangkok and Sing Buri water treatment plants located on the Chao Phraya River, river water, domestic wastewater (WW), and treated wastewater (TWW) from two wastewater treatment plants in Thailand were collected three times to investigate disinfection by-products’ (DBPs) formation potential (FP) including trihalomethane FP (THMFP), iodo-THMFP (I-THMFP), haloacetonitriles FP (HANFP), and trichloronitromethane FP (TCNMFP). High THMFP levels were observed in river water, WW, and TWW. Considering average value, the THMFP of TWW was about two times higher than that of RW. Relatively high levels of I-THMFP were found in WW and TWW. The I-THMFP of TWW was three to seven times higher than that of RW. The HANFP of TWW was one to three times higher than that of RW. High levels of TCNMFP were found in WW and TWW. TCNMFP of TWW was six to thirteen times higher than that of RW. The discharge of TWW to RW must be prevented and controlled. The moderately positive linear relationship was obtained between dissolved organic carbon and TCNMFP in TWW. Considering measured weight concentration, THMFP was found as the highest DBPs. The highest lethal concentration 50-weighted and lowest cytotoxicity-weighted concentrations of DBPs were determined for HANFP.

description: Bilingualism is a phenomenon, visible in most of the countries all over the world. According to statistics, released in 2017, they make up B of the whole country’s population in Iran. The statistical population of this research includes 70 bilinguals and monolinguals, from among B.A students of Ferdowsi University of Mashhad. Through random cluster sampling, these individuals were selected, among whom 38 students were monolingual (Farsi) and 18 students, bilingual (Farsi-Kurdish), and 14 students, bilingual (Farsi-Turkish). Perceptions of classroom environment questionnaire (WIHIC) has been used as a research tool. The result shows that all the subscales are significant. In fact, the comprehensiveness variable is significant at P<0/01 and support variables are significant at P<0/001. To determine the groups’ priorities, Post Hoc Test has been used and the results represented the fact that there is significant difference between the perception of classroom environment in the bilingual groups (Turkish and Kurdish) and monolingual group (P<0.001), yet there was no significant difference between the two bilingual groups (P>0.05). Thus, the perception of classroom environment and its subscales in the bilinguals’ group has been significantly higher than the monolingual group; however, there is no significant difference between the bilingual groups (Farsi-Kurdish and Farsi- Turkish).

description: Deep spectroscopy of the two mJy radio galaxies LBDS 53W069 and 53W091 has previously shown them to have old (>3 Gyr) stellar populations at z=1.5. Here we present the results of HST observations of these galaxies. 53W069 has an r^1/4 profile in both the F814W & F110W data with an effective radius of 0.30 arcsec (2.7 kpc). The restframe U-B colour gradient requires a stellar population of super-solar (3Z_sun) metallicity that formed on a very short timescale at high redshift (z>5). 53W091 has a regular r^1/4 profile in F110W with an effective radius of 0.32 arcsec (2.9 kpc). The F814W profile is more extended and is consistent with a blue exponential disk that contributes 20% of the flux within r_e. The restframe U-B colour gradient is significantly larger than that observed in field ellipticals at z<1, implying a stellar population of mixed metallicity (1-3Z_sun) that formed in a high-redshift rapid burst. We have compared these two LBDS radio galaxies with the Kormendy relation of ten 3CR radio galaxies at z=0.8. The LBDS galaxies follow the same relation as the more radio-luminous 3CR galaxies, assuming passive evolution of their stellar populations, although they are smaller than the 3CR galaxies whose mean effective radius is 12 kpc. Their sizes and radio luminosities are consistent with scaling relations applied to the 3CR galaxies, in which both radio power and effective radius scale with galaxy mass. Compared with a sample of z=0.4 cluster ellipticals, 53W069 & 53W091 lie well within the scatter of the Kormendy relation. We conclude that the hosts of these mJy radio sources at z=1.5 are passively-evolving elliptical galaxies that will evolve into ordinary L* ellipticals by the present day. (Abridged)
