Subjects: subject: Computation and Language (cs.CL)

description: Current research on the advantages and trade-offs of using characters, instead of tokenized text, as input for deep learning models, has evolved substantially. New token-free models remove the traditional tokenization step; however, their efficiency remains unclear. Moreover, the effect of tokenization is relatively unexplored in sequence tagging tasks. To this end, we investigate the impact of tokenization when extracting information from documents and present a comparative study and analysis of subword-based and character-based models. Specifically, we study Information Extraction (IE) from biomedical texts. The main outcome is twofold: tokenization patterns can introduce inductive bias that results in state-of-the-art performance, and the character-based models produce promising results; thus, transitioning to token-free IE models is feasible.

Starving Cancer from the Inside and Outside: Nutrient Stress in Combination with Autophagy Inhibition to Kill Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC)
Creators: name: Pearce, Jane
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2018

description: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the deadliest cancers worldwide, with a 5- year survival rate of less than 5 percent. Given the current lack of effective therapeutic options, novel strategies for treatment of this disease are urgently required. Most PDAC tumors acquire mutations that result in constitutive activation of the GTPase KRAS, which promotes mitogen- activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling and tumor development. Notably, KRAS-driven PDACs often exhibit increased dependence on autophagy, the process by which cells degrade internal components to mobilize energy stores. When faced with cellular stress, such as nutrient or growth factor deprivation, tumor growth may initially slow in response to decreasing supplies of growth factors and cytokines. Under these conditions, the induction of autophagy can enable continued tumor growth even in the presence of nutrient stress, and PDAC cells have been demonstrated to upregulate autophagy to maintain pro-tumorigenic growth. Therefore, we posited that nutrient restriction in combination with autophagy inhibition would synergistically disrupt aberrant metabolic pathways and more effectively stunt PDAC tumor progression. To determine the impact of transient autophagy inhibition, the aminoquinoline chloroquine (CQ, the only FDA- approved autophagy inhibitor) was selected. The combination of CQ and nutrient stress elicited a compounding effect on cellular proliferation in both murine and human-derived PDAC cells in vitro, demonstrating the potential efficacy of CQ and nutrient stress as an adjuvant therapy for PDAC. Next, the mechanistic impact of permanent autophagy inhibition was explored, in order to identify secondary metabolic alterations arising in response to autophagy ablation. Using CRISPR/Cas9 technology, a key gene in autophagic induction, autophagy related 5 (Atg5) was deleted in a murine-derived KRAS-mutant PDAC cell line (Panc02) rendering them autophagy- deficient (Atg5-/-) PDAC cell line. To understand the effect of systemic nutrient deprivation and autophagy deficiency, these Atg5 wildtype and knockout cells were used in an in vivo model in which animals were prescribed a control or calorie restricted diet. Upon intrapancreatic injection in a syngeneic C57BL/6 model, the complete loss of autophagy in Atg-/- cells resulted in reduced tumor growth relative to control (Atg5+/+) cells. However, no differences in growth were observed in vitro under standard growth conditions or in combination with nutrient stress, indicating the cells with permanent autophagy deficiency have reprogrammed to grow in an autophagy- independent manner. Thus, our findings reveal a potential synergism between autophagy inhibition and nutrient stress, and also caution against suppressing autophagy completely and/or permanently due to the potential for pro-survival cellular adaptation to occur.
Modalità dinamiche e performative dell'epifania ellenistica e islamica

description: In the classical religious experience, the epiphany plays a decisive role, conveying divine revelation. The aspiration to overcome the limits imposed on the human condition is pressing and expressed in some epiphanic typologies that allow a direct relationship with the gods through sight and other bodily senses, such as hearing and smell. The Ancients’ need to re-establish contact with the divine is ritualized, according to illustrious models. This vocation is not extraneous to the Muslim tradition, although it takes on the nuances destined to connote an aniconic ritual dimension. The methodological background of this contribution is mainly placed under the aegis of Performance Studies.

description: This article analyzes the most thorny and unpredictable story of Mario Soldati, Salmace, in the light of the performative dimension of the narrator. He is an ambiguous and elusive character who abandons himself to a lucid and at the same time disturbing confession, from which emerges the conviction that the genre is decided by the actions performed, by the rituality of the gestures. A new vision emerges, almost a re-foundation of the masculine and feminine, against the background of a soothing and crystalline writing, which conceals its own explosive charge.

"No one wants us for real": How College-Educated Black Women Understand Dating Opportunities, Define Priorities, and Cope with Structural and Cultural Vulnerabilities
Creators: name: Douglas, Chelsea
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2018

description: Black college-educated women face many structural and cultural vulnerabilities as it relates to their dating opportunities and accordingly their health. The low male to female sex ratio that exists in the Black community has made it difficult for many women to successfully find partners. Adding to this, are the mass incarceration and the low educational attainment of Black men that further reduce the pool of men that women can choose from. As a result, Black women have begun making accommodations revealing that they are intimately impacted by these socio-cultural environments. Individual interviews were conducted with 10 Black women attending a Historically Black College and University (HBCUs). The goal was to investigate the meaning and strategies that young adult women develop to make sense of their dating opportunities and risks, and define their goals and priorities, Further, it was to gauge women's knowledge of this imbalance and to unravel how women’s past experiences colored their ability to navigate and understand their social worlds. Women identified the gender ratio imbalance of more women to men on campus as a facilitator of partner concurrency. They shared the generational expectations and advice that they carry from their mothers and grandmothers about what constitutes a good man and why. Themes of colorism and racial identity illustrate the multiple factors that are at work as women select partners. Racial preferences and representations of Black bodies in the media made it difficult for Black women to be viewed as prospective partners. The humanity of Black women and the struggles they face as they try to make meaningful lives in the midst of powerful social forces cannot be sidelined as we work to empower women in their decision-making and protect their sexual health.

description: Kenya has 85% electricity coverage with close to 0% electric cooking. It is estimated 13.6MtCO2e of GHG is emitted from the cooking fuel with HAP responsible for 21560 deaths every year. The onstove tool uses cost benefit analysis to estimate the net benefit of various cooking solution. With the tool, two scenarios were ran to get the maximum benefit of adopting electric cooking. The social Scenario with maximum benefit of environment estimated about 76% adopting electric solution with maximum health benefit, environmental benefit, 48.50MtCO2e avoided and high time savings. Removing all the environmental and health spillage the private scenario adopted 87% LPG with 0% electricity since Kenya energy mix comprises of clean energy. These scenarios shows Kenya has a great potential of adopting electric cooking with great support of relevant stakeholders.
Identità oscillatorie e trasmutazioni di genere. Performatività e androginia in Orlando di Virginia Woolf

description: This study investigates the representation of the body and gender (understood as a sexual category) in Orlando (1928) by Virginia Woolf. The analysis is conducted, mainly, in the light of the concept of performance (mostly in the Schechnerian drift) and of gender performativity (in the Butlerian sense and in line with her deconstructionist orientation about the categories of identity). This last theoretical trace, in particular, since it questions the traditional concept of gender, helps us to rethink and rework the vision of the body and gender of the main interpreter of the Woolfian novel: Orlando. In fact, in a sort of androgynous communion, he breaks down and transcends the orthodoxies of the masculine and the feminine, renouncing categorizations, monolithic constructs, to open his own imagination to new eventualities of existence.

description: Conformal Quantum Field Theories (CFT) in 1 or 1+1 spacetime dimensions (respectively called chiral and full CFTs) admit several "axiomatic" (mathematically rigorous and model-independent) formulations. In this note, we deal with the von Neumann algebraic formulation due to Haag and Kastler, mainly restricted to the chiral CFT setting. Irrespectively of the chosen formulation, one can ask the questions: given a theory $\mathcal{A}$, how many and which are the possible extensions $\mathcal{B} \supset \mathcal{A}$ or subtheories $\mathcal{B} \subset \mathcal{A}$? How to construct and classify them, and study their properties? Extensions are typically described in the language of algebra objects in the braided tensor category of representations of $\mathcal{A}$, while subtheories require different ideas. In this paper, we review recent structural results on the study of subtheories in the von Neumann algebraic formulation (conformal subnets) of a given chiral CFT (conformal net). Furthermore, building on [BDG23], we provide a "quantum Galois theory" for conformal nets analogous to the one for Vertex Operator Algebras (VOA). We also outline the case of 3+1 dimensional Algebraic Quantum Field Theories (AQFT). The aforementioned results make use of families of (extreme) vacuum state preserving unital completely positive maps acting on the net of von Neumann algebras, hereafter called quantum operations. These are natural generalizations of the ordinary vacuum preserving gauge automorphisms, hence they play the role of "generalized global gauge symmetries". Quantum operations suffice to describe all possible conformal subnets of a given conformal net with the same central charge.

description: This article solves an optimal control problem arising in attitude control of a spacecraft under state and control constraints. We first derive the discrete-time attitude dynamics by employing discrete mechanics. The orientation transfer, with initial and final values of the orientation and momentum and the time duration being specified, is posed as an energy optimal control problem in discrete-time subject to momentum and control constraints. Using variational analysis directly on the Lie group SO(3), we derive first order necessary conditions for optimality that leads to a constrained two point boundary value problem. This two point boundary value problem is solved via a novel multiple shooting technique that employs a root finding Newton algorithm. Robustness of the multiple shooting technique is demonstrated through a few representative numerical experiments.

description: In this work, we propose a novel adaptive reduced-rank receive processing strategy based on joint preprocessing, decimation and filtering (JPDF) for large-scale multiple-antenna systems. In this scheme, a reduced-rank framework is employed for linear receive processing and multiuser interference suppression based on the minimization of the symbol-error-rate (SER) cost function. We present a structure with multiple processing branches that performs a dimensionality reduction, where each branch contains a group of jointly optimized preprocessing and decimation units, followed by a linear receive filter. We then develop stochastic gradient (SG) algorithms to compute the parameters of the preprocessing and receive filters, along with a low-complexity decimation technique for both binary phase shift keying (BPSK) and $M$-ary quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) symbols. In addition, an automatic parameter selection scheme is proposed to further improve the convergence performance of the proposed reduced-rank algorithms. Simulation results are presented for time-varying wireless environments and show that the proposed JPDF minimum-SER receive processing strategy and algorithms achieve a superior performance than existing methods with a reduced computational complexity.

description: The use of costumes and masks, made from animal skins and furs or inspired by similar materials, confers to the dancers particular characteristics. In this article, we will consider an emblematic example: the “Ball of the Burning Men”, a Parisian episode dating back to the end of 1393. We will investigate the impact of wearing animal skins and furs on performing bodies, in connection with the transfiguratio triggered by masks. Besides, we will highlight the presence of possible traces of widespread and long-lasting ritual patterns. The purpose of this article is to investigate how hair mask acts on performing body, modifying his “figure\ scheme\τύπος” and activating a principle of sympathetic metamorphosis.

description: Experimental quantum information processing with superconducting circuits is rapidly advancing, driven by innovation in two classes of devices, one involving planar micro-fabricated (2D) resonators, and the other involving machined three-dimensional (3D) cavities. We demonstrate that circuit quantum electrodynamics can be implemented in a multilayer superconducting structure that combines 2D and 3D advantages. We employ standard micro-fabrication techniques to pattern each layer, and rely on a vacuum gap between the layers to store the electromagnetic energy. Planar qubits are lithographically defined as an aperture in a conducting boundary of the resonators. We demonstrate the aperture concept by implementing an integrated, two cavity-modes, one transmon-qubit system.

Type locality:— USA. St. Thomas, Virgin Islands.
 Morphology:—Thalli to 5 cm, anchored on soft substrata by a bulbous mass of rhizoids. Stipe cylindrical, robust, 8–10 mm length, 5–6 mm diameter, there is no differentiation between stipe and blade. Blade fan-shaped, multilobed, light green, wider (7–8 cm) than long (4–5 cm, lower margin is reniform, multistratose, corticated, heavily calcified, and fain concentric zonation (Fig. 70).
 Anatomy:—Blade siphons with lateral appendages, 30–40 μm in diameter, densely covered by two opposite rows of short lateral appendages (Fig. 71), possessing 8–15 low unique knobs with appearances of sunken blade appendages, peduncle 10–20 μm in diameter, 40–65 μm length (Fig. 72). Stipe siphons adjacent to lateral appendages 30–60 μm in diameter, appendages peduncle 150–300 μm length, 20–30 μm in diameter. Appendages branched twice terminating in numerous rounded projections (Fig. 73).
 Reproduction:—Vegetative

 Habitat:—Sandy bottom, subtidal to 12–15 m depth
 Comments:— Gepp & Gepp (1911) described for the first time Udotea occidentalis based in morphological and anatomical character record from West Indies specimens. Littler & Littler (1990) mention that U. occidentalis can be confused with Udotea flabellum by the corticate blade; however both species can be differentiated by the presence of the fan-shape blade with a lower margin cordate and the uniquely lobed blade appendages. This species has been reported in depths greater than 5 m (Geep & Geep 1911, Littler & Littler 1990). This species was not located by the collections carried out in this study; hence, specimens from the ENCB herbarium were consulted to corroborate the record in the Yucatan peninsula littoral.

Optimizing Lead Time in Fall Detection for a Planar Bipedal Robot
Creators: name: Mungai, M. Eva

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: Robotics (cs.RO)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: For legged robots to operate in complex terrains, they must be robust to the disturbances and uncertainties they encounter. This paper contributes to enhancing robustness through the design of fall detection/prediction algorithms that will provide sufficient lead time for corrective motions to be taken. Falls can be caused by abrupt (fast-acting), incipient (slow-acting), or intermittent (non-continuous) faults. Early fall detection is a challenging task due to the masking effects of controllers (through their disturbance attenuation actions), the inverse relationship between lead time and false positive rates, and the temporal behavior of the faults/underlying factors. In this paper, we propose a fall detection algorithm that is capable of detecting both incipient and abrupt faults while maximizing lead time and meeting desired thresholds on the false positive and negative rates.

description: Pharmacists can play a significant role in identifying and screening high-risk patients, assessing
health status and adherence to standards of care, monitoring outcomes, educating and
empowering patients, and referring patients to specific healthcare professionals. A randomized,
controlled trial of veteran affairs patients (n=99) with diabetes was performed to assess the
clinical outcomes of monthly pharmacy appointments versus usual care for six months. Patients
in the intervention group achieved the A1c goal of < 7% and the systolic blood pressure (SBP)
goal of < 130 mmHg at rates significantly lower than the usual care arm. There were no
significant differences between groups with low-density lipoprotein (LDL). Our study aims to
assess the clinical impact one pharmacy visit has on patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus

description: During its historical development, the Western dance tradition has transformed its traditional aesthetic models of reference, reconfiguring, particularly during the 20th century, its relationship with the world and other arts’ poetics through experimental models and continuous hybridizations. This contribution analyses the phenomenal relation between the dance in contemporary authorial creations - with reference to Alessandro Sciarroni’s poetics - and images, references, traditions that are part of the spectator’s cultural heritage: a memorial practice that projects itself towards the future, through archetypes and recurring schemes. The path travels from the production of an artist fully included in the ‘third landscape’ (Pontremoli, 2018) of the dance to the analysis of a choreic practice, accomplished through recurrent images. The concept of schêmata is the foundation of artistic perception in Western culture: we thus aim to analyze the power of images as a powerful engine of movement between the recovery of collective memories and the re-evaluation of the participatory role of the spectator.

description: With the development of the massive satellite constellation and the on-orbit laser-based communication equipment, the wavelength routing optical satellite network (WROSN) becomes a potential solution for on-orbit, high-capacity, and high-speed communication. Since the inter-satellite links (ISLs) are time-varying, one of the fundamental considerations in the construction of the WROSN is assigning limited laser communication terminals for each satellite to establish ISLs with the visible satellites. Therefore, we propose a links assignment scheme (LAS) based on the potential edges importance matrix (PEIM) algorithm to construct a temporarily stable topology of the ISLs for a dual-layer constellation. The simulation results showed that the LAS based on the PEIM algorithm is better than LAS based on the random or Greedy algorithm in terms of node-to-node distance, node pair connectivity, wavelength demand, and transmission delay. The node pair connectivity and wavelength demand in WROSN is a trade-off problem. The research in this paper also brings a novel method for reduction of the cost of the on-board resources, that is through designing topology of the ISLs with links assignment algorithm.

description: We study the current-voltage characteristics of a superconducting junction with particle losses at the contacts. We adopt the Keldysh formalism to compute the steady-state current for varying transmission of the contact. In the low transmission regime, the dissipation leads to an enhancement of the current at low bias, a nonmonotonic dependence of current on dissipation, and the emergence of new structures in the current-voltage curves. The effect of dissipation by particle loss is found to be qualitatively different from that of a finite temperature and a finite inelastic scattering rate in the reservoirs.

Type locality:— BAHAMAS. Bimini Harbor.
 Morphology: — Thalli delicate to 4 cm tall, anchored on substrata by a small bulbous mass of entangled rhizoidal siphons. Stipe cylindrical, slightly calcified, 4–6 mm long, 0.5 mm in diameter. Gradual transition between the stipe and blade. Blade flabellate or spatulate, green, longer (2–2.5 cm) than wider (1.5–2 cm), lower margin obtuse, multistratose in most part of the blade and unistratose in the superior margin, corticated (with lateral appendages), calcified, and slightly zonate (Fig. 74).
 Anatomy:—Blade siphons with lateral appendages except in unistratose margin, dichotomously branched, 30–45 μm in diameter, distance between each dichotomy varies from 1500 to 1600 μm. From each dichotomy, one of the siphons branches dichotomically and the other continues to grow without branching. Blade appendages have a short peduncle from which 1–8 spine-like projections arise (Fig. 75). Stipe siphons adjacent to lateral appendages 45–60 μm in diameter, appendages peduncle 40–80 μm length, 20–25 μm in diameter. Appendages dichotomously branched once, with long, acute, digitate projections (Fig. 76).

 Comments: — Howe (1909) provide the first detail description of Udotea spinulosa based in morphological and anatomical characters of the blade and stipe. The shape of the stipe appendages agrees with those registered by Howe (1909), and Littler & Littler (1990). However, the diameter of siphons stipe and blade are smaller than those documented in specimens from Bahamas (Howe 1909), Jamaica, Puerto Rico (Littler & Littler 1990), and Cuba (Collado-Vides et al. 2009). U. spinulosa has been cited for several localities from Quintana Roo, Campeche, and Yucatan shores, however in this study few specimens were found only in Progreso, Yucatan, and Playa Villamar, Campeche.

description: In $D-$dimensional spherically symmetric $f\left( R\right) $ gravity there are three unknown functions to be determined from the fourth order differential equations. It is shown that the system remarkably integrates to relate two functions through the third one to provide reduction to second order equations accompanied with a large class of potential solutions. The third function which acts as the generator of the process is $F\left( R\right) =\frac{df\left( R\right) }{dR}.$ We recall that our generating function has been employed as a scalar field with an accompanying self-interacting potential previously which is entirely different from our approach. Reduction of $f\left( R\right) $ theory into system of equations seems to be efficient enough to generate a solution corresponding to each generating function. As particular examples, besides known ones, we obtain new black hole solutions in any dimension $D$. We further extend our analysis to cover non-zero energy-momentum tensors. Global monopole and Maxwell sources are given as examples.

description: The orientations of the red galaxies in a filament are aligned with the orientation of the filament. We thus develop a location-alignment-method (LAM) of detecting filaments around clusters of galaxies, which uses both the alignments of red galaxies and their distributions in two-dimensional images. For the first time, the orientations of red galaxies are used as probes of filaments. We apply LAM to the environment of Coma cluster, and find four filaments (two filaments are located in sheets) in two selected regions, which are compared with the filaments detected with the method of \cite{Falco14}. We find that LAM can effectively detect the filaments around a cluster, even with $3σ$ confidence level, and clearly reveal the number and overall orientations of the detected filaments. LAM is independent of the redshifts of galaxies, and thus can be applied at relatively high redshifts and to the samples of red galaxies without the information of redshifts. We also find that the images of background galaxies (interlopers) which are lensed by the gravity of foreground filaments are amplifiers to probe the filaments.

Positive energy representations for locally finite split Lie algebras

description: Let $\mathfrak g$ be a locally finite split simple complex Lie algebra of type $A_J$, $B_J$, $C_J$ or $D_J$ and $\mathfrak h \subseteq \mathfrak g$ be a splitting Cartan subalgebra. Fix $D \in \mathrm{der}(\mathfrak g)$ with $\mathfrak h \subseteq \ker D$ (a diagonal derivation). Then every unitary highest weight representation $(ρ_λ, V^λ)$ of $\mathfrak g$ extends to a representation $\tildeρ_λ$ of the semidirect product $\mathfrak g \rtimes \mathbb C D$ and we say that $\tildeρ_λ$ is a positive energy representation if the spectrum of $-i\tildeρ_λ(D)$ is bounded from below. In the present note we characterise all pairs $(λ,D)$ with $λ$ bounded for which this is the case. If $U_1(\mathcal H)$ is the unitary group of Schatten class $1$ on an infinite dimensional real, complex or quaternionic Hilbert space and $λ$ is bounded, then we accordingly obtain a characterisation of those highest weight representations $π_λ$ satisfying the positive energy condition with respect to the continuous $\mathbb R$-action induced by $D$. In this context the representation $π_λ$ is norm continuous and our results imply the remarkable result that, for positive energy representations, adding a suitable inner derivation to $D$, we can achieve that the minimal eigenvalue of $\tildeρ_λ(D)$ is $0$ (minimal energy condition). The corresponding pairs $(λ,D)$ satisfying the minimal energy condition are rather easy to describe explicitly.

description: We study the quantization of the 6d Seiberg-Witten curve for D-type minimal conformal matter theories compactified on a two-torus. The quantized 6d curve turns out to be a difference equation established via introducing codimension two and four surface defects. We show that, in the Nekrasov-Shatashvili limit, the 6d partition function with insertions of codimension two and four defects serve as the eigenfunction and eigenvalues of the difference equation, respectively. We further identify the quantum curve of D-type minimal conformal matters with an elliptic Garnier system recently studied in the integrability community. At last, as a concrete consequence of our elliptic quantum curve, we study its RG flows to obtain various quantum curves of 5d ${\rm Sp}(N)+N_f \mathsf{F},N_f\leq 2N+5$ theories.

Effect of Peptide Charge, Charge Density and Identity on The Condensation of Plasmid DNA for Delivery to Hepatocytes
Creators: name: Lin, Michael C.

Year: 2017

description: This study serves to investigate the effect of peptide length, charge and charge density on each
peptide’s ability to condense plasmid DNA. Several different peptides of varying physiochemical
properties were tested for their ability to condense plasmid DNA for delivery to HUH7 hepatocytes
using a lipid calcium phosphate (LCP) based delivery system. Peptides were firstly tested for
DNA nuclear import in vitro. Subsequently, three different peptides of varying properties were
chosen to be tested in-vivo. Results demonstrated that that the crucial factor regarding the success
of DNA delivery regards the balance between condensation and release of the peptide. Therefore,
the most successful peptides are ones with a charge density that permits both condensation, and
release.

description: The dynamics of quantum systems strongly depends on the local structure of the Hamiltonian. For short-range interacting systems, the well-known Lieb-Robinson bound defines the effective light cone with an exponentially small error with respect to the spatial distance, whereas we can obtain only polynomially small error for distance in long-range interacting systems. In this paper, we derive a qualitatively new bound for quantum dynamics by considering how many spins can correlate with each other after time evolution. Our bound characterizes the number of spins which support the many-body entanglement with exponentially small error and is valid for large class of Hamiltonians including long-range interacting systems. To demonstrate the advantage of our approach in quantum many-body systems, we apply our bound to prove several fundamental properties which have not be derived from the Lieb-Robinson bound.

description: We present the results of multi-objective genetic algorithm optimizations of a potential single shot ultra fast electron diffraction beamline utilizing a 225 kV dc gun with a novel cryocooled photocathode system and buncher cavity. Optimizations of the transverse projected emittance as a function of bunch charge are presented and discussed in terms of the scaling laws derived in the charge saturation limit. Additionally, optimization of the transverse coherence length as a function of final rms bunch length at sample location have been performed for three different sample radii: 50, 100, 200 microns, for two final bunch charges: 100k and 1000k electrons. Analysis of the solutions is discussed, as are the effects of disorder induced heating. In particular, a coherence length per rms spot size of 0.27 nm/micron was obtained for a final bunch charge of 100k electrons and final rms bunch length of approximately 100 fs. For a final charge of 1000k electrons the cryogun produces a coherence length per rms spot size of 0.1 nm/micron for an rms bunch length of 100-200 fs and final spot size of 50 micron. These results demonstrate the viability of using genetic algorithms in the design and operation of ultrafast electron diffraction beamlines.
