description: Plasmodium ovale curtisi (Poc) and Plasmodium ovale wallikeri (Pow) represent distinct non-recombining Plasmodium species that are increasing in prevalence in sub-Saharan Africa. Though they circulate sympatrically, co-infection within human and mosquito hosts has rarely been described. Separate 18S rRNA real-time PCR assays that detect Poc and Pow were modified to allow species determination in parallel under identical cycling conditions. The lower limit of detection was 0.6 plasmid copies/μL (95% CI 0.4–1.6) for Poc and 4.5 plasmid copies/μL (95% CI 2.7–18) for Pow, or 0.1 and 0.8 parasites/μL, respectively, assuming 6 copies of 18s rRNA per genome. However, the assays showed cross-reactivity at concentrations greater than 103 plasmid copies/μL (roughly 200 parasites/μL). Mock mixtures were used to establish criteria for classifying mixed Poc/Pow infections that prevented false-positive detection while maintaining sensitive detection of the minority ovale species down to 100 copies/μL (<1 parasite/μL). When the modified real-time PCR assays were applied to field-collected blood samples from Tanzania and Cameroon, species identification by real-time PCR was concordant with nested PCR in 19 samples, but additionally detected two mixed Poc/Pow infections where nested PCR detected a single Po species. When real-time PCR was applied to oocyst-positive Anopheles midguts saved from mosquitoes fed on P. ovale-infected persons, mixed Poc/Pow infections were detected in 11/14 (79%). Based on these results, 8/9 P. ovale carriers transmitted both P. ovale species to mosquitoes, though both Po species could only be detected in the blood of two carriers. The described real-time PCR approach can be used to identify the natural occurrence of mixed Poc/Pow infections in human and mosquito hosts and reveals that such co-infections and co-transmission are likely more common than appreciated.

description: We derive an algorithm of optimal complexity which determines whether a given matrix is a Cauchy matrix, and which exactly recovers the Cauchy points defining a Cauchy matrix from the matrix entries. Moreover, we study how to approximate a given matrix by a Cauchy matrix with a particular focus on the recovery of Cauchy points from noisy data. We derive an approximation algorithm of optimal complexity for this task, and prove approximation bounds. Numerical examples illustrate our theoretical results.

description: The onset of rigidity in interacting liquids, as they undergo a transition to a disordered solid, is associated with a rearrangement of the low-frequency vibrational spectrum. In this letter, we derive scaling forms for the singular dynamical response of disordered viscoelastic networks near both jamming and rigidity percolation. Using effective-medium theory, we extract critical exponents, invariant scaling combinations and analytical formulas for universal scaling functions near these transitions. Our scaling forms describe the behavior in space and time near the various onsets of rigidity, for rigid and floppy phases and the crossover region, including diverging length and time scales at the transitions.

description: Tuberculosis remains one of the leading causes of death worldwide, especially in low- and middle-income countries. Tuberculosis treatment and control efforts are hindered by the difficulty in making the diagnosis, as currently available diagnostic tests are too slow, too expensive, or not sufficiently sensitive. Recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) is a novel technique that allows for the amplification of DNA rapidly, at constant temperature, and with minimal expense. We calculated and compared the limit of detection, sensitivity, and specificity of two RPA-based assays for the diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis, using two sets of published primers. We also calculated and compared the assays’ limits of detection and compared their performance using two different DNA extraction methods prior to amplification (a commercially available DNA extraction kit vs. the chelex method). The RPA-lateral flow assay had a limit of detection of 5 fg/μL of DNA, a sensitivity of 53.2%, and a specificity of 93.3%, while the real time-RPA assay had a limit of detection of 25 fg/μL of DNA, a sensitivity of 85.1%, and a specificity of 93.3%. There was no difference in assay performance when DNA extraction was carried out using the commercial kit vs. the chelex method. The real-time RPA assay has adequate sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis and could be a viable diagnostic tool in resource-limited settings, but the lateral flow assay did not perform as well, perhaps due to the fact we used stored sputum specimens from a biorepository. More work is needed to optimize the RPA-lateral flow assay, to get a more accurate estimate of its specificity and sensitivity using prospectively collected specimens, and to develop both assays into point-of-care tests that can be easily deployed in the field.

description: The use of a finite mixture of normal distributions in model-based clustering allows to capture non-Gaussian data clusters. However, identifying the clusters from the normal components is challenging and in general either achieved by imposing constraints on the model or by using post-processing procedures. Within the Bayesian framework we propose a different approach based on sparse finite mixtures to achieve identifiability. We specify a hierarchical prior where the hyperparameters are carefully selected such that they are reflective of the cluster structure aimed at. In addition this prior allows to estimate the model using standard MCMC sampling methods. In combination with a post-processing approach which resolves the label switching issue and results in an identified model, our approach allows to simultaneously (1) determine the number of clusters, (2) flexibly approximate the cluster distributions in a semi-parametric way using finite mixtures of normals and (3) identify cluster-specific parameters and classify observations. The proposed approach is illustrated in two simulation studies and on benchmark data sets.

description: Introduction: Astarte borealis holds great potential as an archive of seasonal paleoclimate, especially due to its long lifespan (several decades to more than a century) and ubiquitous distribution across high northern latitudes. Furthermore, recent work demonstrates that the isotope geochemistry of the aragonite shell is a faithful proxy of environmental conditions. However, the exceedingly slow growth rates of A. borealis in some locations (<0.2mm/year) make it difficult to achieve seasonal resolution using standard micromilling techniques for conventional stable isotope analysis. Moreover, oxygen isotope (δ18O) records from species inhabiting brackish environments are notoriously difficult to use as paleoclimate archives because of the simultaneous variation in temperature and δ18Owater values. Methods: Here we use secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) to microsample an A. borealis specimen from the southern Baltic Sea, yielding 451 SIMS δ18Oshell values at sub-monthly resolution. Results: SIMS δ18Oshell values exhibit a quasi-sinusoidal pattern with 24 local maxima and minima coinciding with 24 annual growth increments between March 1977 and the month before specimen collection in May 2001. Discussion: Age-modeled SIMS δ18Oshell values correlate significantly with both in situ temperature measured from shipborne CTD casts (r2 = 0.52, p<0.001) and sea surface temperature from the ORAS5-SST global reanalysis product for the Baltic Sea region (r2 = 0.42, p<0.001). We observe the strongest correlation between SIMS δ18Oshell values and salinity when both datasets are run through a 36-month LOWESS function (r2 = 0.71, p < 0.001). Similarly, we find that LOWESS-smoothed SIMS δ18Oshell values exhibit a moderate correlation with the LOWESS-smoothed North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) Index (r2 = 0.46, p<0.001). Change point analysis supports that SIMS δ18Oshell values capture a well-documented regime shift in the NAO circa 1989. We hypothesize that the correlation between the SIMS δ18Oshell time series and the NAO is enhanced by the latter’s influence on the regional covariance of water temperature and δ18Owater values on interannual and longer timescales in the Baltic Sea. These results showcase the potential for SIMS δ18Oshell values in A. borealis shells to provide robust paleoclimate information regarding hydroclimate variability from seasonal to decadal timescales.

description: Axelrod's model in the square lattice with nearest-neighbors interactions exhibits culturally homogeneous as well as culturally fragmented absorbing configurations. In the case the agents are characterized by $F=2$ cultural features and each feature assumes $k$ states drawn from a Poisson distribution of parameter $q$ these regimes are separated by a continuous transition at $q_c = 3.10 \pm 0.02$. Using Monte Carlo simulations and finite size scaling we show that the mean density of cultural domains $μ$ is an order parameter of the model that vanishes as $μ\sim \left ( q - q_c \right)^β$ with $β= 0.67 \pm 0.01$ at the critical point. In addition, for the correlation length critical exponent we find $ν= 1.63 \pm 0.04$ and for Fisher's exponent, $τ= 1.76 \pm 0.01$. This set of critical exponents places the continuous phase transition of Axelrod's model apart from the known universality classes of nonequilibrium lattice models.

description: Numerical computations have become a pillar of all modern quantitative sciences. Any computation involves modeling--even if often this step is not made explicit--and any model has to neglect details while still being physically accurate. Equilibrium statistical mechanics guides both the development of models and numerical methods for dynamics obeying detailed balance. For systems driven away from thermal equilibrium such a universal theoretical framework is missing. For a restricted class of driven systems governed by Markov dynamics and local detailed balance, stochastic thermodynamics has evolved to fill this gap and to provide fundamental constraints and guiding principles. The next step is to advance stochastic thermodynamics from simple model systems to complex systems with ten thousands or even millions degrees of freedom. Biomolecules operating in the presence of chemical gradients and mechanical forces are a prime example for this challenge. In this Perspective, we give an introduction to isothermal stochastic thermodynamics geared towards the systematic multiscale modeling of the conformational dynamics of biomolecular and synthetic machines, and we outline some of the open challenges.

description: There are many ways to probe alternative theories of gravity, namely, via: experimental tests at solar system scale, cosmological data and models, gravitational waves and compact objects. In the present paper we consider a model of gravity with torsion $f(T)$ applied to compact objects such as neutron stars (NSs) for a couple of realistic equations of state (EOS). To do so we follow our previous articles, in which we show how to model compact stars in this $f(T)$ gravity by obtaining its corresponding Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkof equations and applying this prescription to model polytropic compact stars. In these modelling of NS in $f(T)$ gravity presented here, we calculate, among other things, the maximum mass allowed for a given realistic EOS, which would also allow us to evaluate which models are in accordance with observations. The results already known to General Relativity must be reproduced to some extent and, eventually, we can find models that allow higher maximum masses for NSs than Relativity itself, which could explain, for example, the secondary component of the event GW190814, if this star is a massive NS.

description: Mountainous Karabakh is a regional conflict in the recent territory of Azerbaijan with the population of ethnic Armenians. It is a part of historical Karabakh and the reason why it had given autonomy, was to underline an ethnic factor of its population. All member states of the United Nations, beside Armenia, recognize Mountainous Karabakh as Azerbaijani territory with ethnic Armenian population. Mountainous Karabakh is a disputed territory between Azerbaijan and Armenia and both sides have their claims on this territory. Historical sources about Mountainous Karabakh are various and confusing. In 14th century, Safavid Empire gave autonomy-like status to Mountainous Karabakh and this status was retained during the next four centuries. Until 1991, Mountainous Karabakh was a little isolated region with aoutonomous oblast status within the Azerbaijan SSR. In 1992, Mountainous Karabakh declared itself as independent republic, which resulted in armed conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia. Conflict in Mountainous Karabakh is a clash of political ambitions. Positions of parties still exclude each other.The scientific research ‘Conflict in Mountainous Karabakh’ is based on the qualitative research method and analyzes primary and secondary documents. It includes: introduction, main part, major research, conclusion and bibliography. Major research represents reasons of the conflict and the security dilemma: geographical factor, ethnographic factor, nationalism, Russia, ethnic affinity problem, different historical sources and economic factor. The last part of this work involves recomendations for the conflict resolution.

description: Introduction: It is becoming clearer that the microbiota helps drive responses to vaccines; however, little is known about the underlying mechanism. In this study, we aimed to identify microbial features that are associated with vaccine immunogenicity in infant rhesus macaques. Methods: We analyzed 16S rRNA gene sequencing data of 215 fecal samples collected at multiple timepoints from 64 nursery-reared infant macaques that received various HIV vaccine regimens. PERMANOVA tests were performed to determine factors affecting composition of the gut microbiota throughout the first eight months of life in these monkeys. We used DESeq2 to identify differentially abundant bacterial taxa, PICRUSt2 to impute metagenomic information, and mass spectrophotometry to determine levels of fecal short-chain fatty acids and bile acids. Results: Composition of the early-life gut microbial communities in nursery-reared rhesus macaques from the same animal care facility was driven by age, birth year, and vaccination status. We identified a Sutterella and a Rodentibacter species that positively correlated with vaccine-elicited antibody responses, with the Sutterella species exhibiting more robust findings. Analysis of Sutterella-related metagenomic data revealed five metabolic pathways that significantly correlated with improved antibody responses following HIV vaccination. Given these pathways have been associated with short-chain fatty acids and bile acids, we quantified the fecal concentration of these metabolites and found several that correlated with higher levels of HIV immunogen-elicited plasma IgG. Discussion: Our findings highlight an intricate bidirectional relationship between the microbiota and vaccines, where multiple aspects of the vaccination regimen modulate the microbiota and specific microbial features facilitate vaccine responses. An improved understanding of this microbiota–vaccine interplay will help develop more effective vaccines, particularly those that are tailored for early life.

description: Recent advances in (scanning) transmission electron microscopy have enabled routine generation of large volumes of high-veracity structural data on 2D and 3D materials, naturally offering the challenge of using these as starting inputs for atomistic simulations. In this fashion, theory will address experimentally emerging structures, as opposed to the full range of theoretically possible atomic configurations. However, this challenge is highly non-trivial due to the extreme disparity between intrinsic time scales accessible to modern simulations and microscopy, as well as latencies of microscopy and simulations per se. Addressing this issue requires as a first step bridging the instrumental data flow and physics-based simulation environment, to enable the selection of regions of interest and exploring them using physical simulations. Here we report the development of the machine learning workflow that directly bridges the instrument data stream into Python-based molecular dynamics and density functional theory environments using pre-trained neural networks to convert imaging data to physical descriptors. The pathways to ensure the structural stability and compensate for the observational biases universally present in the data are identified in the workflow. This approach is used for a graphene system to reconstruct optimized geometry and simulate temperature-dependent dynamics including adsorption of Cr as an ad-atom and graphene healing effects. However, it is universal and can be used for other material systems.

description: Teacher well-being and experiences of violence have become issues of national concern, and teacher shortages have increased since the onset of COVID-19. In this national study, we examined verbal and physical violence against teachers from multiple aggressors and the role of anxiety and stress in predicting intentions to transfer positions or quit the profession. The majority of the sample of 9,370 pre-Kindergarten-12th grade teachers was White (79%) and female (79%). Descriptive analyses revealed that 25% of teachers reported intentions to transfer schools and 43% of teachers reported intentions to quit teaching. Structural equation model results indicated pre-COVID-19 verbal and threatening violence from students, parents, colleagues, and administrators predicted teacher anxiety and stress and intentions to transfer schools (R² ranged from .18 to .23) and quit the profession during COVID-19 (R² ranged from .34 to .36). Anxiety and stress significantly mediated the relation between verbal and threatening violence across all aggressors and teacher intentions to transfer schools and quit the profession. Physical violence from certain aggressors predicted anxiety and stress and intention to transfer schools (R² ranged from .15 to .18) and quit the profession (R² ranged from .32 to .34). Further, teacher and school characteristics, such as identifying as a person of color and teaching at the middle and high school levels, were associated with greater intentions to transfer schools and quit the profession. Implications for school-based research, practice, and policy are discussed to address violence and promote positive work and learning environments for all school stakeholders.

description: The main aim of this paper is to synthesize CSR issue into channel coordination. Accordingly, the CSR issue is studied in a manufacturer-retailer chain under two cases: (1) the manufacturer invests in CSR, and (2) the retailer invests in CSR. Each case is explored in terms of the individual profitability of supply chain (SC) members and the amount of CSR investment. Moreover, we propose a hybrid of wholesale and buyback contract to resolve the channel conflict in both cases. Additionally, a Nash bargaining model is applied to share the surplus profit between SC players. Under decentralized setting, the numerical results indicate that both cases bring almost the same results for the members regarding their profitability, but regarding the investment in the CSR issues, the M-CSR case is remarkably superior to the R-CSR case. Moreover, the Nash bargaining model provides a win-win situation for both SC members in each case.

description: The development of high-resolution imaging methods such as electron and scanning probe microscopy and atomic probe tomography have provided a wealth of information on structure and functionalities of solids. The availability of this data in turn necessitates development of approaches to derive quantitative physical information, much like the development of scattering methods in the early XX century which have given one of the most powerful tools in condensed matter physics arsenal. Here, we argue that this transition requires adapting classical macroscopic definitions, that can in turn enable fundamentally new opportunities in understanding physics and chemistry. For example, many macroscopic definitions such as symmetry can be introduced locally only in a Bayesian sense, balancing the prior knowledge of materials' physics and experimental data to yield posterior probability distributions. At the same time, a wealth of local data allows fundamentally new approaches for the description of solids based on construction of statistical and physical generative models, akin to Ginzburg-Landau thermodynamic models. Finally, we note that availability of observational data opens pathways towards exploring causal mechanisms underpinning solid structure and functionality.

Sn-based Photoinitiator

description: Photoinitiators (PI) for free radical polymerization have been modified using heteroatoms in the α-position to the benzoyl chromophore since the 1980s.1 At that time, acylphosphine oxides were introduced, originally for an application in the coating industry. Further investigations led to the discovery of Ge-based PIs, with diacylgermanes showing particularly good properties.2 These molecules show the desired bathochromic shift in the absorption spectra, what enables the use of light with longer wavelength. This red-shifted light is important for enhancing the curing depth of formulations. The current state-of-the-art PI is also located in the diacylgermane family with the trade name Ivocerin®. Additional advantages of Ivocerin® are thermal stability and low toxicity. Nevertheless, Ge-based PIs are higher in price compared to e.g. phosphorus based PIs, and therefore not for every application suitable. One way to overcome this disadvantage are Sn-based PIs, as this substance class is known to reach excellent bathochromic shifts in their absorbance as well as high reactivity.3 The only drawback is the poor storage stability of the so far known Sn-based PIs. In this work, novel Ge as well as Sn-based PI were successfully synthesized and photochemically investigated including UV/Vis measurements, photo-DSC measurements and steady state photolysis experiments in order to compare their photochemical properties as well as stability with literature known Sn-based PIs.

description: Fast transforms correspond to factorizations of the form $\mathbf{Z} = \mathbf{X}^{(1)} \ldots \mathbf{X}^{(J)}$, where each factor $ \mathbf{X}^{(\ell)}$ is sparse and possibly structured. This paper investigates essential uniqueness of such factorizations, i.e., uniqueness up to unavoidable scaling ambiguities. Our main contribution is to prove that any $N \times N$ matrix having the so-called butterfly structure admits an essentially unique factorization into $J$ butterfly factors (where $N = 2^{J}$), and that the factors can be recovered by a hierarchical factorization method, which consists in recursively factorizing the considered matrix into two factors. This hierarchical identifiability property relies on a simple identifiability condition in the two-layer and fixed-support setting. This approach contrasts with existing ones that fit the product of butterfly factors to a given matrix via gradient descent. The proposed method can be applied in particular to retrieve the factorization of the Hadamard or the discrete Fourier transform matrices of size $N=2^J$. Computing such factorizations costs $\mathcal{O}(N^{2})$, which is of the order of dense matrix-vector multiplication, while the obtained factorizations enable fast $\mathcal{O}(N \log N)$ matrix-vector multiplications and have the potential to be applied to compress deep neural networks.

description: The purpose of this paper is to present the core variables derived from literature that contributes to the failure of continuous improvement (CI) programs in the Egyptian manufacturing industry. The approach used is to find the previous literature reviews of the problem, group the variables affecting the problem, develop the research model and theoretical frameworks, and test the variables through a survey using the appropriate scale and measurements. From the data measurements and analysis, continuous improvement programs can fail due to multi factors; they can be grouped under six themes: strategic planning, change management, knowledge management, performance measurement, CI performance & sustainability, and motivation. The research is limited to the manufacturing industry. Continuous improvement programs/initiatives defined for the purpose of the study as TQM, Lean, Six Sigma, and Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle. The value of this research is to create awareness for the manufacturing organizations about the requirements of change in the form of CI implementation.

description: Photocurrent (PC) measurements can reveal the relaxation dynamics of photo-excited hot carriers beyond the linear response of conventional transport experiments, a regime important for carrier multiplication. In graphene subject to a magnetic field, PC measurements are able to probe the existence of Landau levels with different edge chiralities which is exclusive to relativistic electron systems. Here, we report the accurate measurement of PC in graphene in the quantum Hall regime. Prominent PC oscillations as a function of gate voltage on samples' edges are observed. These oscillation amplitudes form an envelope which depends on the strength of the magnetic field, as does the PCs' power dependence and their saturation behavior. We explain these experimental observations through a model using optical Bloch equations, incorporating relaxations through acoustic-, optical- phonons and Coulomb interactions. The simulated PC agrees with our experimental results, leading to a unified understanding of the chiral PC in graphene at various magnetic field strengths, and providing hints for the occurrence of a sizable carrier multiplication.

description: We present upto date electroweak fits of various Randall Sundrum (RS) models. We consider the bulk RS model, deformed RS and the custodial RS models. For the bulk RS case we find the lightest Kaluza Klein (KK) mode of the gauge boson to be $\sim 8$ TeV while for the custodial case it is $\sim 3$ TeV. The deformed model is the least fine tuned of all which can give a good fit for KK masses $< 2$ TeV depending on the choice of the model parameters. We also comment on the fine tuning in each case.
