description: Silica gel column chromatography fractionation of the dichloromethane extract (LCD) of Leucas cephalotes (Roth.) Spreng. led to the isolation of five compounds namely β-sitosterol (1) + stigmasterol (2), lupeol (3), oleanolic acid (4) and laballenic acid (5). Also, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis of sub-fraction (LCD-F1) of this extract showed the presence of eleven (6-16) compounds. In addition to this, 3-5 and LCD-F1 were evaluated for lipopolysachharide (LPS)-induced nitric oxide (NO), tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interleukin (IL)-1β production in RAW 264.7 and J774A.1 cells. Results directed that 4 and 5 were found to inhibit these mediators at half maximal inhibitory concentration of 17.12 to 57.20 μM while IC50 for LCD-F1 was found to be 15.56 to 31.71 μg/mL. Furthermore, LCD at a dose of 50, 100 and 400 mg/Kg was found to reduce significantly LPS induced tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interleukin (IL)-1β production in female Sprague Dawley (SD) rats. All the results findings evoked that the anti-inflammatory effects of Leucas cephalotes is partially mediated through the suppression of pro-inflammatory mediators and hence can be utilized for the development of anti-inflammatory candidates.

description: This study aimed to evaluate rheological characteristics and protein denaturation of eggs obtained from threedifferent types of laying poultry farms, intensive, dual purpose and extensive. The flow curves of both egg whitesand whole eggs, assessed by rotational rheometry, revealed a shear thinning behavior. Raw egg whites were moreviscous than whole eggs due to the higher protein content of the former. Lower steady shear viscosity was recordedfor the egg whites obtained from the intensive system, while the variability of values for the extensive systemwas higher. Differential scanning calorimetry showed no differences among the farming systems in lysozyme andovalbumin denaturation temperatures of the egg white detected at ~ 65 and 80oC, respectively. The temperatureand enthalpy values of an endothermic transition at ~ 82oC of the egg yolk samples, was ascribed to the compositemixture of lipids, lipoproteins and contaminant egg white proteins; these responses were similar among thefarming systems, whereas the enthalpy values had higher variability for eggs of the extensive system. Overall,the farming system appeared to affect the variability rather than mean values of the rheological and thermalparameters, with samples from the extensive system exhibiting higher heterogeneity in their physical properties.However, due to the limited number of farms involved in the study and several substantial confounding factorsinvolved (e.g. breed, feed ration), the results should be interpreted cautiously.

description: Massive elliptical galaxies align pointing their major axis towards each other in the structure of the Universe. Such alignments are well-described at large scales through a linear relation with respect to the tidal field of the large-scale structure. At such scales, galaxy alignments are sensitive to the presence of baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO). The shape of the BAO feature in galaxy alignment correlations differs from the traditional peak in the clustering correlation function. Instead, it appears as a trough feature at the BAO scale. In this work, we show that this feature can be explained by a simple toy model of tidal fields from a spherical shell of matter. This helps give a physical insight for the feature and highlights the need for tailored template-based identification methods for the BAO in alignment statistics. We also discuss the impact of projection baselines and photometric redshift uncertainties for identifying the BAO in intrinsic alignment measurements.

description: Experiments have shown that the conductance of conical channels, filled with an aqueous electrolyte, can strongly depend on the history of the applied voltage. These channels hence have a memory and are promising elements in brain-inspired (iontronic) circuits. We show here that the memory of such channels stems from transient concentration polarization over the ionic diffusion time. We derive an analytic approximation for these dynamics which shows good agreement with full finite-element calculations. Using our analytic approximation, we propose an experimentally realisable Hodgkin-Huxley iontronic circuit where micrometer cones take on the role of sodium and potassium channels. Our proposed circuit exhibits key features of neuronal communication such as all-or-none action potentials upon a pulse stimulus and a spike train upon a sustained stimulus.

description: We study dynamical instability and chiral symmetry breaking in three dimensional Weyl semimetals, which turns Weyl semimetals into "axion insulators". Charge density waves (CDW) is found to be the natural consequence of the chiral symmetry breaking. The phase mode of this charge density wave state is identified as the axion, which couples to electromagnetic field in the topological $θ{\bf E}\cdot{\bf B}$ term. One of our main results is that the "axion strings" can be realized as the (screw or edge) dislocations in the charge density wave, which provides a simple physical picture for the elusive axion strings. These axion strings carry gapless chiral modes, therefore they have important implications for dissipationless transport properties of Weyl semimetals with broken symmetry.

description: The recruitment of trustworthy and high-quality workers is an important research issue for MCS. Previous studies either assume that the qualities of workers are known in advance, or assume that the platform knows the qualities of workers once it receives their collected data. In reality, to reduce costs and thus maximize revenue, many strategic workers do not perform their sensing tasks honestly and report fake data to the platform, which is called False data attacks. And it is very hard for the platform to evaluate the authenticity of the received data. In this paper, an incentive mechanism named Semi-supervision based Combinatorial Multi-Armed Bandit reverse Auction (SCMABA) is proposed to solve the recruitment problem of multiple unknown and strategic workers in MCS. First, we model the worker recruitment as a multi-armed bandit reverse auction problem and design an UCB-based algorithm to separate the exploration and exploitation, regarding the Sensing Rates (SRs) of recruited workers as the gain of the bandit. Next, a Semi-supervised Sensing Rate Learning (SSRL) approach is proposed to quickly and accurately obtain the workers' SRs, which consists of two phases, supervision and self-supervision. Last, SCMABA is designed organically combining the SRs acquisition mechanism with multi-armed bandit reverse auction, where supervised SR learning is used in the exploration, and the self-supervised one is used in the exploitation. We theoretically prove that our SCMABA achieves truthfulness and individual rationality and exhibits outstanding performances of the SCMABA mechanism through in-depth simulations of real-world data traces.

description: Quantitative phase imaging (QPI) is a label-free computational imaging technique used in various fields, including biology and medical research. Modern QPI systems typically rely on digital processing using iterative algorithms for phase retrieval and image reconstruction. Here, we report a diffractive optical network trained to convert the phase information of input objects positioned behind random diffusers into intensity variations at the output plane, all-optically performing phase recovery and quantitative imaging of phase objects completely hidden by unknown, random phase diffusers. This QPI diffractive network is composed of successive diffractive layers, axially spanning in total ~70 wavelengths; unlike existing digital image reconstruction and phase retrieval methods, it forms an all-optical processor that does not require external power beyond the illumination beam to complete its QPI reconstruction at the speed of light propagation. This all-optical diffractive processor can provide a low-power, high frame rate and compact alternative for quantitative imaging of phase objects through random, unknown diffusers and can operate at different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum for various applications in biomedical imaging and sensing. The presented QPI diffractive designs can be integrated onto the active area of standard CCD/CMOS-based image sensors to convert an existing optical microscope into a diffractive QPI microscope, performing phase recovery and image reconstruction on a chip through light diffraction within passive structured layers.

description: Serum concentration of lipids and lipoproteins changes during the course of acute coronary syndrome as a consequence of the inflammatory response. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) on the levels of lipid profile and inflammatory markers. We investigated 400 patients with AMI who were admitted within 24 h of onset of symptoms. Serum levels of total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low density lipoprotein (LDL) and high density lipoprotein (HDL) were determined by standard enzymatic methods along with high sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) (latex enhanced immunoturbidimetric assay) and cytokines, interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-10 (quantitative ''sandwich'' enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay). The results indicate a trend of reduced TC, LDL, and HDL, and elevated TG levels, along with pro- and anti-inflammatory markers (p < 0.001), between day 1 and the day 2 serum samples of AMI patients. However, corrections in the serum levels have been observed at day 7. Our results demonstrate significant variations in the mean lipid levels and inflammatory markers between days 1, 2 and 7 after AMI. Therefore, it is recommended that the serum lipids should be assessed within 24 hours after infarction. Early treatment of hyperlipidemia provides potential benefits. Exact knowledge regarding baseline serum lipids and lipoprotein levels as well as their varying characteristics can provide a rational basis for clinical decisions about lipid lowering therapy.

Violation of the orbital depairing limit in a non-unitary state --on the high field phase in the heavy Fermion superconductor UTe$_2$--

description: A theoretical study is reported on the origin of extremely high upper critical field $\sim$70T observed in UTe$_2$ with the transition temperature T$_{\rm c}$=1.6K-2K, far exceeding the conventional orbital depairing limit set by the Fermi velocity and T$_{\rm c}$ for a superconductor (SC) in the clean limit. We investigate possible violation of the orbital limit in terms of a spin-triplet nonunitary state, which is effectively coupled to the underlying magnetization induced by external field. This in turn produces the reduced internal field by cancelling it via magnetization. We formulate a theory within Ginzburg-Landau framework to describe this orbital limit violation and analyze experimental data on the upper critical fields for various field orientations in UTe$_2$. It is pointed out that the orbital limit violation for a spin-triplet SC together with the Pauli-Clogston limit violation for a spin-singlet SC constitutes a complete and useful framework to examine the high field physics in superconductors in the clean limit.

description: We present several new sufficient conditions for uniform boundedness of the reduced correlations and free energy of an abstract polymer system in a complex multidisc around zero fugacity. They resolve a discrepancy between two incomparable and previously known extensions of Dobrushin's classic condition. All conditions arise from an extension of the tree-operator approach introduced by Fernàndez & Procacci combined with a novel family of partition schemes of the spanning subgraph complex of a cluster. The key technique is the increased transfer of structural information from the partition scheme to a tree-operator on an enhanced space.

description: Compact objects, like neutron stars and white dwarfs, may accrete dark matter, and then be sensitive probes of its presence. These compact stars with a dark matter component can be modeled by a perfect fluid minimally coupled to a complex scalar field (representing a bosonic dark matter component), resulting in objects known as fermion-boson stars. We have performed the dynamical evolution of these stars in order to analyze their stability, and to study their spectrum of normal modes, which may reveal the amount of dark matter in the system. Their stability analysis shows a structure similar to that of an isolated (fermion or boson) star, with equilibrium configurations either laying on the stable or on the unstable branch. The analysis of the spectrum of normal modes indicates the presence of new oscillation modes in the fermionic part of the star, which result from the coupling to the bosonic component through the gravity.

description: Differential chains are a proper subspace of de Rham currents given as an inductive limit of Banach spaces endowed with a geometrically defined strong topology. Boundary is a continuous operator, as are operators that dualize to Hodge star, Lie derivative, pullback and interior product. Partitions of unity exist in this setting, as does Cartesian wedge product. Subspaces of finitely supported Dirac chains and polyhedral chains are both dense, leading to a unification of the discrete with the smooth continuum. We conclude with an application generalizing a simple version of the Reynolds' Transport Theorem to rough domains.

Cytology ABCDE: A Practical ABCDE Algorithm for Cytology Diagnosis

Year: 2015
Subjects: Pathology; diagnosis; cytology diagnosis; cytology algorithm; diagnosis report

description: Aims

An approach to the process of undertaking cytopathology diagnosis for medical students and those who operate with cytology specimens is presented.

Material and Methods

This simple mnemonic (ABCDE) can be used as a memory aid determining the order in which cells or tissue fragments should be evaluated. When receiving a slide for diagnosis and prior to examining it under the microscope we need to make sure that it is correctly labelled and prepared (Correct) and we also need to know or gather all available information concerning the patient (A, Available Information). Once under the microscope, we check the type of cells and the adequacy of specimen (B, Body & Being Adequate). Next, by taking into consideration the cellular morphology and potentially by performing ancillary studies we proceed to answer if the cells are neoplastic or not (C, Cancer). We then either form a differential diagnosis list or we end up with our final diagnosis (D, Differential diagnosis or Diagnosis), which is followed by the writing of the report (E, Exhibit).

Results

These sequential steps (Correct ABCDE) followed as an ad hoc procedure by most pathologists, are important in order to achieve a complete and clear diagnosis and report, which is intended to support optimal clinical practice.

Conclusions

This ABCDE concept is a generic standard approach which is not limited to specific specimens and can help improve both cytopathology diagnoses and the quality of the final cytopathology reports.

description: We prove the compact law of the iterated logarithm for stationary and ergodic differences of (reverse or not) martingales taking values in a separable $2$-smooth Banach space (for instance a Hilbert space). Then, in the martingale case, the almost sure invariance principle is derived from a result of Berger. From those results, we deduce the almost sure invariance principle for stationary processes under the Hannan condition and the compact law of the iterated logarithm for stationary processes arising from non-invertible dynamical systems. Those results for stationary processes are new, even in the real valued case. We also obtain the Marcinkiewicz-Zygmund strong law of large numbers for stationary processes with values in some smooth Banach spaces. Applications to several situations are given.

description: Strategic pre-flight functions focus on the planning and deconfliction of routes for aircraft systems. The urban air mobility concept calls for higher levels of autonomy with onboard and en route functions but also strategic and pre-flight systems. Existing endeavours into strategic pre-flight functions focus on improving the route generation and strategic deconfliction of these routes. Introduced with the urban air mobility concept is the premise of operational volumes. These 4D regions of airspace, describe the intended operational region for an aircraft for finite time. Chaining these together forms a contract of finite operational volumes over a given route. It is no longer enough to only deconflict routes within the airspace, but to now consider these 4D operational volumes. To provide an effective all-in-one approach, we propose a novel framework for generating routes and accompanying contracts of operational volumes, along with deconfliction focused around 4D operational volumes. Experimental results show efficiency of operational volume generation utilising reachability analysis and demonstrate sufficient success in deconfliction of operational volumes.

description: For a Markov process the detailed balance condition is equivalent to the time-reversibility of the process. For stochastic differential equations (SDE's) time discretization numerical schemes usually destroy the property of time-reversibility. Despite an extensive literature on the numerical analysis for SDE's, their stability properties, strong and/or weak error estimates, large deviations and infinite-time estimates, no quantitative results are known on the lack of reversibility of the discrete-time approximation process. In this paper we provide such quantitative estimates by using the concept of entropy production rate, inspired by ideas from non-equilibrium statistical mechanics. The entropy production rate for a stochastic process is defined as the relative entropy (per unit time) of the path measure of the process with respect to the path measure of the time-reversed process. By construction the entropy production rate is nonnegative and it vanishes if and only if the process is reversible. Crucially, from a numerical point of view, the entropy production rate is an {\em a posteriori} quantity, hence it can be computed in the course of a simulation as the ergodic average of a certain functional of the process (the so-called Gallavotti-Cohen (GC) action functional). We compute the entropy production for various numerical schemes such as explicit Euler-Maruyama and explicit Milstein's for reversible SDEs with additive or multiplicative noise. Additionally, we analyze the entropy production for the BBK integrator of the Langevin processes. We show that entropy production is an observable that distinguishes between different numerical schemes in terms of their discretization-induced irreversibility. Furthermore, our results show that the type of the noise critically affects the behavior of the entropy production rate.

description: Background

Electronic Media are considered to be a useful tool to distribute scientific information in medicine. Starting in this century all main publishers use electronic information transfer and distribution, either solely by electronic media or in combination with conventional paper printing.

Theory

Information distribution and communication require a sender (author), a transport medium (visual or acoustic signals, telephone, radio, TV, printed journals), and a receiver (hearer, reader). Information distribution in science and medicine should permit an objective and non-biased understanding of the transferred information by the receiver (doctor). These actions should be repeatable in time and space. This aim is in contrast to emotional, business-oriented, or political information transfer that commonly wants to direct the receiver in a certain surge or emotion.

Implementation

Scientific, peer reviewed open access journals have been established since the beginning of this century. After a period of hesitation and resistance which lasted for about 10 years, now-a-days nearly all big publishing companies offer open access journals in their product line. Most of them still hold on paper printed journals in addition, others offer hybrid journals, i.e., paper printed information display contemporary with electronic distribution. The electronic structures differ from classic structures (different, subject oriented domains) to articles of different focus that are fully integrated in only one individual domain. The advantages and disadvantages of the different structures are discussed in detail.

Conclusions and perspectives

Information distribution and communication is one important issue of life. The progress of technology does not stop at the doors of research and practice in medicine. To the contrary, it promotes both, understanding, interpretation and innovation of research, and the practical application. These facilitations of promotion are accompanied by ease of falsification and faked data. Business models of open access publication open doors of temptations to undercut science by anticipated profit. Previously serious publishers are already spoiled, and the scientific community should be aware that global investors are already misusing modern communication in science and research for their profit interest.

We present a case of a 50-year-old female that revealed a renal mass on an abdominal echography, incidentally discovered during a hepatic hemangioma follow-up. The patient underwent partial nephrectomy, and after pathological evaluation the final diagnosis of MTSCC was made. MSTCC is a special renal cancer type, with low degree of malignancy and a favorable prognosis. Surgical resection is the treatment of choice. It’s important to be aware of this entity in order to differentiate MTSCC with renal cancers of less favorable prognosis and higher degree of malignancy like papillary renal cell carcinoma.

Subjects: subject: Soft Condensed Matter (cond-mat.soft)

description: In [Pal et al., arXiv:2206.03552], the authors discuss how an unsupported flat annulus contracted at its inner boundary by a factor $Δ$, buckles into a radial wrinkling pattern that is fully isometric and tension-free. What selects the wavelength in such a pure-bending configuration, in the absence of any competing sources of work? In this paper, with the support of numerical simulations, we argue that competition between stretching and bending energies at local, mesoscopic scales leads to the selection of a wavelength scale $λ^*$ sensitive to both the width $w$ and thickness $t$ of the sheet: $λ^* \sim w^{2/3} t^{1/3} Δ^{-1/6}$. This scale $λ^*$ corresponds to an arrest criterion for wrinkle coarsening starting from any wavelength $λ\lesssim λ^*$, which can be interpreted in terms of both size and energetic barriers to further coarsening. However, the sheet can support coarser wavelengths: $λ\gtrsim λ^*$, since there is no penalty to their existence. Since this wavelength selection mechanism depends on the value of $λ$ itself, it is hysteretic.

description: Background
Mucous gland adenoma of the bronchus is a rare benign epithelial tumor. The majority arises from the submucosal seromucous glands and ducts of the proximal airways. In bronchus biopsy specimen it might be difficult to distinguish mucous gland adenomas from low-grade malignant tumors, such as carcinoids, mucoepidermoid carcinomas, or adenoid cystic carcinomas. Complete tumor resection serves for both definite diagnosis and potential curative treatment.
Case
A non smoking man of 78 years suffered from cough, dyspnea and recently from hemoptysis. Fiberoptic bronchoscopy revealed a polypoid, well-circumscribed mass in the right posterior segmental bronchus. A bronchoscopic tumor excision was performed.
Histology and immunohistochemistry (IHC)
The tumor displayed with exuberant dilated cystic glands lined by columnar, cuboidal or flattened mucus secreting cells. IHC was positive for EMA, CKAE1/AE3, and negative for TTF1.
Conclusion
Uncommon benign bronchus adenomas should be taken into account in addition to the common malignant lung carcinomas with endobronchial growth pattern. Endoscopic tumor excision of bronchus adenomas is indicated for potential curative treatment, especially in patients of higher age.

description: We address the formation of topological edge solitons in rotating Su-Schrieffer-Heeger waveguide arrays. The linear spectrum of the non-rotating topological array is characterized by the presence of topological gap with two edge states residing in it. Rotation of the array significantly modifies the spectrum and may move these edge states out of the topological gap. Defocusing nonlinearity counteracts this tendency and shifts such modes back into topological gap, where they acquire structure of tails typical for topological edge states. We present rich bifurcation structure for rotating topological solitons and show that they can be stable. Rotation of the topologically trivial array, without edge states in its spectrum, also leads to the appearance of localized edge states, but in a trivial semi-infinite gap. Families of rotating edge solitons bifurcating from the trivial linear edge states exist too and sufficiently strong defocusing nonlinearity can also drive them into the topological gap, qualitatively modifying the structure of their tails.

description: Let $\A$ be a line arrangement in the complex projective plane $\PP^2$. Denote by $M$ its complement and by $\M$ the set of points in $\A$ with multiplicity at least 3. A rank one local system $\mathcal{L}$ on $M$ is admissible if roughly speaking the dimension of the cohomology groups $H^m(M,\mathcal{L})$ can be computed directly from the cohomology algebra $H^{*}(M,\Bbb{C})$. In this work, we give a sufficient condition for the admissibility of all rank one local systems on $M$.

description: Cette recherche porte sur l’Evaluation de l’indice de pauvreté multidimensionnel à Mwene-Ditu, République Démocratique du Congo : Approche empirique et implications politico-juridiques. Elle vise à mesurer et évaluer la pauvreté multidimensionnelle pour mieux comprendre les défis spécifiques auxquels est confrontée la population de Mwene-Ditu. La recherche a été quantitative suivant une posture de recherche positiviste. Elle est basée sur les données d’enquête menée au cours du second semestre 2024 auprès de 501 ménages échantillonnés par grappes pour un total de 2687 personnes dans la ville de Mwene-Ditu. Après investigation, les résultats suivants ont été dégagés : Le taux de pauvreté multidimensionnelle est évalué à 31,6% ; la pauvreté sévère se chiffre à 46,2% alors que le taux de pauvreté s’élève à 69,4% sur un effectif de 2687 personnes réparties dans les 501 ménages échantillonnés. Cette question de pauvreté est avant tout monétaire affectant directement le niveau de vie avec une moyenne des privations de 44% d’accès aux services de base. En deuxième position, les privations portent à l’accès à la santé puis en éducation respectivement aux seuils de 32% et de 27%. Ce qui nécessite des politiques publiques en matière économique, infrastructurelle, éducationnelle, sanitaire et sociale encadrées par des instruments juridiques appropriés.

Proposal of a Checking Parameter in the Simulated Annealing Method Applied to the Spin Glass Model

description: We propose a checking parameter utilizing the breaking of the Jarzynski equality in the simulated annealing method using the Monte Carlo method. This parameter is based on the Jarzynski equality. By using this parameter, to detect that the system is in global minima of the free energy under gradual temperature reduction is possible. Thus, by using this parameter, one is able to investigate the efficiency of annealing schedules. We apply this parameter to the +-J Ising spin glass model. The application to the Gaussian Ising spin glass model is also mentioned. We discuss that the breaking of the Jarzynski equality is induced by the system being trapped in local minima of the free energy. By performing Monte Carlo simulations of the +-J Ising spin glass model and a glassy spin model proposed by Newman and Moore, we show the efficiency of the use of this parameter.

description: Tackling the most pressing problems for humanity, such as the climate crisis and the threat of global pandemics, requires accelerating the pace of scientific discovery. While science has traditionally relied on trial and error and even serendipity to a large extent, the last few decades have seen a surge of data-driven scientific discoveries. However, in order to truly leverage large-scale data sets and high-throughput experimental setups, machine learning methods will need to be further improved and better integrated in the scientific discovery pipeline. A key challenge for current machine learning methods in this context is the efficient exploration of very large search spaces, which requires techniques for estimating reducible (epistemic) uncertainty and generating sets of diverse and informative experiments to perform. This motivated a new probabilistic machine learning framework called GFlowNets, which can be applied in the modeling, hypotheses generation and experimental design stages of the experimental science loop. GFlowNets learn to sample from a distribution given indirectly by a reward function corresponding to an unnormalized probability, which enables sampling diverse, high-reward candidates. GFlowNets can also be used to form efficient and amortized Bayesian posterior estimators for causal models conditioned on the already acquired experimental data. Having such posterior models can then provide estimators of epistemic uncertainty and information gain that can drive an experimental design policy. Altogether, here we will argue that GFlowNets can become a valuable tool for AI-driven scientific discovery, especially in scenarios of very large candidate spaces where we have access to cheap but inaccurate measurements or to expensive but accurate measurements. This is a common setting in the context of drug and material discovery, which we use as examples throughout the paper.

description: Inspired by a recently observed asymmetry in the transmission of circularly polarized light through a metamaterial, we present a non-hermitian PT-symmetric quantum model to describe the interaction of the light fields in two resonant cavities coupled via a 2D-chiral mirror. We compute the time evolution of the light fields in this model, find two sets of operators compatible with the hamiltonian in a delocalized representation, discover the energies of the system and show that the transmission probability predicted by the model is indeed asymmetric.
