description: Generative models offer a direct way of modeling complex data. Energy-based models attempt to encode the statistical correlations observed in the data at the level of the Boltzmann weight associated with an energy function in the form of a neural network. We address here the challenge of understanding the physical interpretation of such models. In this study, we propose a simple solution by implementing a direct mapping between the Restricted Boltzmann Machine and an effective Ising spin Hamiltonian. This mapping includes interactions of all possible orders, going beyond the conventional pairwise interactions typically considered in the inverse Ising (or Boltzmann Machine) approach, and allowing the description of complex datasets. Earlier works attempted to achieve this goal, but the proposed mappings were inaccurate for inference applications, did not properly treat the complexity of the problem, or did not provide precise prescriptions for practical application. To validate our method, we performed several controlled inverse numerical experiments in which we trained the RBMs using equilibrium samples of predefined models with local external fields, 2-body and 3-body interactions in different sparse topologies. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed approach in learning the correct interaction network and pave the way for its application in modeling interesting binary variable datasets. We also evaluate the quality of the inferred model based on different training methods.

description: The object of the current research was to determine the effectiveness of educational neuroscience instruction on the approach to teaching of pre-service teachers which was executed in a quasi-experimental manner, utilizing a pretest-posttest control group design. The statistical population of the investigation encompassed all students of Farhangian University during the academic year 2023-2024. To examine the hypotheses, two groups of 34 pre-service teachers from Farhangian University, Shahid Modarres Campus, Sanandaj were selected via purposive sampling, and one of the groups was randomly designated as the experimental group, and the other as the control group. For the experimental group, an educational neuroscience program analogous to a two-unit theoretical course was conducted in 16 sessions of ninety minutes each, while the control group did not partake in these instructions and persisted with their daily program. The Trigwell approaches to teaching questionnaire (2005) was employed to amass information in two stages of pre-test and post-test. The outcomes of the covariance analysis indicated that the instruction of the educational neuroscience program resulted in a decrement in the information transfer - teacher-focused approach (P<0.001) and an increment in the conceptual change - student-focused approach (P<0.002) in the experimental group compared to the control group. Consequently, it is advocated to incorporate this instructional program in the pre-service courses for teachers.

description: BackgroundAustralian national biomonitoring for persistent organic pollutants (POPs) relies upon age-specific pooled serum samples to characterize central tendencies of concentrations but does not provide estimates of upper bound concentrations. This analysis compares population variation from biomonitoring datasets from the US, Canada, Germany, Spain, and Belgium to identify and test patterns potentially useful for estimating population upper bound reference values for the Australian population.MethodsArithmetic means and the ratio of the 95th percentile to the arithmetic mean (P95:mean) were assessed by survey for defined age subgroups for three polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs 138, 153, and 180), hexachlorobenzene (HCB), p,p-dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (DDE), 2,2',4,4' tetrabrominated diphenylether (PBDE 47), perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS).ResultsArithmetic mean concentrations of each analyte varied widely across surveys and age groups. However, P95:mean ratios differed to a limited extent, with no systematic variation across ages. The average P95:mean ratios were 2.2 for the three PCBs and HCB; 3.0 for DDE; 2.0 and 2.3 for PFOA and PFOS, respectively. The P95:mean ratio for PBDE 47 was more variable among age groups, ranging from 2.7 to 4.8. The average P95:mean ratios accurately estimated age group-specific P95s in the Flemish Environmental Health Survey II and were used to estimate the P95s for the Australian population by age group from the pooled biomonitoring data.ConclusionsSimilar population variation patterns for POPs were observed across multiple surveys, even when absolute concentrations differed widely. These patterns can be used to estimate population upper bounds when only pooled sampling data are available.

description: On semiconductor growth surfaces, surface reconstructions appear. Estimation of the reconstructed structures is essential for understanding and controlling growth phenomena. In this study, the stability of a mixture of two different surface reconstructions is investigated. Since the number of candidate structures is enormous, the structures sampled by Bayesian optimization are analyzed. As a result, the local electron counting (EC) rule alone was found to be insufficient to explain such stability. Then, augmenting the EC rule, a data-driven Ising model is proposed. The model allows the evaluation of the whole enormous number of candidate structures. The approach is expected to be useful for theoretical studies of such mixtures on various semiconductor surfaces.

description: Besides its original spin representation, the Ising model is known to have the Fortuin-Kasteleyn (FK) bond and loop representations, of which the former was recently shown to exhibit two upper critical dimensions $(d_c=4,d_p=6)$. Using a lifted worm algorithm, we determine the critical coupling as $K_c = 0.077\,708\,91(4)$ for $d=7$, which significantly improves over the previous results, and then study critical geometric properties of the loop-Ising clusters on tori for spatial dimensions $d=5$ to 7. We show that, as the spin representation, the loop Ising model has only one upper critical dimension at $d_c=4$. However, sophisticated finite-size scaling (FSS) behaviors, like two length scales, two configuration sectors and two scaling windows, still exist as the interplay effect of the Gaussian fixed point and complete-graph asymptotics. Moreover, using the Loop-Cluster algorithm, we provide an intuitive understanding of the emergence of the percolation-like upper critical dimension $d_p=6$ in the FK-Ising model. As a consequence, a unified physical picture is established for the FSS behaviors in all the three representations of the Ising model above $d_c=4$.

description: We calculate the elliptic flow of deuterons in Pb+Pb collisions at 2.76 TeV per colliding nucleon-nucleon pair and show that it can be used to discriminate between direct statistical production and coalescence. The emission from the fireball is parametrized and tuned to reproduce transverse momentum spectra and the elliptic flow of protons and pions. Coalescence leads to higher deuteron elliptic flow than statistical production and agrees better with experimental data. We attribute this observation to the varying size of the nucleon-producing region for the emission in different azimuthal angles.

description: We regard anisotropic Maxwell's equations as a boundary control and observation system on a bounded Lipschitz domain. The boundary is split into two parts: one part with perfect conductor boundary conditions and the other where the control and observation takes place. We apply a feedback control law that stabilizes the system in a semi-uniform manner without any further geometric assumption on the domain. This will be achieved by separating the equilibriums from the system and show that the remaining system is described by an operator with compact resolvent. Furthermore, we will apply a unique continuation principle on the resolvent equation to show that there are no eigenvalues on the imaginary axis.

Search for excited τ -leptons and leptoquarks in the final state with τ -leptons and jets in pp collisions at √s = 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector
Creators: name: ATLAS Collaboration
Publisher: name: Springer Berlin Heidelberg
Year: 2024

description: A search is reported for excited τ -leptons and leptoquarks in events with two hadronically decaying τ -leptons and two or more jets. The search uses proton-proton (pp) collision data at √ s = 13 TeV recorded by the ATLAS experiment during the Run 2 of the Large Hadron Collider in 2015–2018. The total integrated luminosity is 139 fb−1 . The excited τ -lepton is assumed to be produced and to decay via a four-fermion contact interaction into an ordinary τ -lepton and a quark-antiquark pair. The leptoquarks are assumed to be produced in pairs via the strong interaction, and each leptoquark is assumed to couple to a charm or lighter quark and a τ -lepton. No excess over the background prediction is observed. Excited τ -leptons with masses below 2.8 TeV are excluded at 95% CL in scenarios with the contact interaction scale Λ set to 10 TeV. At the extreme limit of model validity where Λ is set equal to the excited τ -lepton mass, excited τ -leptons with masses below 4.6 TeV are excluded. Leptoquarks with masses below 1.3 TeV are excluded at 95% CL if their branching ratio to a charm quark and a τ -lepton equals 1. The analysis does not exploit flavour-tagging in the signal region.
DD Fusion in Crystals

description: The article discusses the mechanism of DD -> 4^H_e fusion and so-called nonradiative thermalization of the reaction in crystals. The dynamics of this process is considered. The assumption that the decay time of the compound nucleus depends on its excitation energy makes experiments in crystals compatible with the acceleration data. We consider the processes in the crystals that increase the intensity of DD fusion in comparison to the amorphous media, and the yield of the reaction is estimated.

description: The rapid development of deep learning has significant implications for the advancement of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). Currently, most pixel-grid-based deep learning methods for flow field prediction exhibit significantly reduced accuracy in predicting boundary layer flows and poor adaptability to geometric shapes. Although Graph Neural Network (GNN) models for unstructured grids based unsteady flow prediction have better geometric adaptability, these models suffer from error accumulation in long-term predictions of unsteady flows. More importantly, fully data-driven models often require extensive training time, greatly limiting the rapid update and iteration speed of deep learning models when facing more complex unsteady flows. Therefore, this paper aims to balance the demands for training overhead and prediction accuracy by integrating physical constraints based on the finite volume method into the loss function of the graph neural network. Additionally, it incorporates a twice-massage aggregation mechanism inspired by the extended stencil method to enhance the unsteady flow prediction accuracy and geometric shape generalization ability of the graph neural network model on unstructured grids. We focus particularly on the model's predictive accuracy within the boundary layer. Compared to fully data-driven methods, our model achieves better predictive accuracy and geometric shape generalization ability in a shorter training time.

It consists of the first, fully data-driven analysis of the nuclear $β$ decay form factor, that utilizes isospin relations to connect the nuclear charged weak distribution to the measurable charge distributions. This prescription supersedes previous shell-model estimations, and allows for a rigorous quantification of theory uncertainties in $f$ which is absent in the existing literature. Our new evaluation shows an overall downward shift of the central values of $f$ at the level of 0.01\%.

description: Laboratory X-ray techniques based on polycapillary optics have been first used for studying high dense sprays of the jet injection systems. Polycapillary optical elements are well known systems that enable shaping divergent X-ray beams (with energy of up to 30 keV) as well as to get high contrast image of the object studied due to the suppression of multiple scattered part of radiation. We have used a Cu Kα X-ray source in combination with polycapillary halflens (or semilens) and a Photonic Science CCD detector. Due to the low absorption features of gasoline for the used energy range, the images have been acquired in synchronized mode with the spray injection. As a result, it is shown that the absorption signal well emerges respect to the background indicating an interaction of the beam with the fuel.

description: Nuclear Chemistry, Radiochemistry, Radiation Chemistry and Heath Physics play a fundamental role in sustainable nuclear energy production. Their applications are crucial in each stage of the nuclear power cycle. There will be stressed some particular chemical steps concerning the extraction and production of fuel pellets, claddings and assemblies, water radiolysis, plant decommissioning and their reprocessing or disposal cycle. The objectives of this work are: the presentation and the discussion about strength and weakness of the nuclear and radiochemical methods to be used in the sustainable production of nuclear energy and the stressing of the great need of education and training of young scientists in the field of. nuclear and radiochemical (N&R) techniques, in order to ensure a sustainable supply of qualified personnel, whose number have declined steadily and dramatically in the last 20 years. A review on main problematic regarding the different fuel cycles is presented, distinguishing between the traditional open fuel cycle (UOT) adopted in many Countries and the more advanced close cycle, with reprocessing of the nuclear rad-waste, taking into account the partitioning (P) and transmutation (P&T) of U and Pu radionuclides, fission products (FPs), minor actinoids (MAs) and activation products.

description: Objectives Mechanical loading is crucial for tendon matrix homeostasis. Under-stimulation of tendon tissue promotes matrix degradation and ultimately tendon failure. In this study, we examined the expression of tendon matrix molecules and matrix-degrading enzymes (matrix metalloproteinases) in stress-deprived tail tendons and compared to tendons that were mechanically loaded by a simple restraining method. Data description Isolated mouse tail fascicles were either floated or restrained by magnets in cell culture media for 24 h. The gene expression of tendon matrix molecules and matrix metalloproteinases in the tendon fascicles of mouse tails were examined by real-time RT-PCR. Stress deprivation of tail tendons increase Mmp3 mRNA levels. Restraining tendons represses these increases in Mmp3. The gene expression response to restraining was specific to Mmp3 at 24 h as we did not observe mRNA level changes in other matrix related genes that we examined (Col1, Col3, Tnc, Acan, and Mmp13). To elucidate, the mechanisms that may regulate load transmission in tendon tissue, we examined filamentous (F-)actin staining and nuclear morphology. As compared to stress deprived tendons, restrained tendons had greater staining for F-actin. The nuclei of restrained tendons are smaller and more elongated. These results indicate that mechanical loading regulates specific gene expression potentially through F-actin regulation of nuclear morphology. A further understanding on the mechanisms involved in regulating Mmp3 gene expression may lead to new strategies to prevent tendon degeneration.

description: Water-pipe smoking (WPS) is popular in the Middle East and is disseminating particularly quickly in Europe and North America. It is commonly and wrongly perceived to be less harmful than other forms of tobacco use. Clinical studies have reported difficulties in studying the isolated effects of WPS because most of the smokers are also current or past cigarette smokers. Therefore, experimental studies investigating the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying the respiratory and cardiovascular adverse effect of WPS are much needed. We, presently, discuss the current advances in the mechanisms related to WPS-induced pulmonary and cardiovascular adverse effects, including inflammation and oxidative stress, and the potential mitigating effect of antioxidant thereon.

description:   Objective
To determine the coverage and outcome of Universal Newborn Hearing Screening (UNHS) Program in Government Medical College Manjeri, South India. To study the prevalence of hearing loss (HL) among those children screened, to describe the characteristics of confirmed cases, and the status of speech and language development acquired by them at follow up.
Design
Hospital based retro prospective study.
Methods
Data were collected from all newborns who underwent Universal Newborn Hearing Screening (UNHS) over a four-year period (November 2014 to October 2018). Cases with confirmed hearing loss were studied by pre-structured questionnaire and telephonic interview. Speech and language assessments of 10 confirmed cases were conducted after a period of intervention.
Results
Out of 17,260 babies, 16,625 were screened (96.3%). HL was confirmed for 13 of these, resulting in a prevalence rate of 0.08%. Risk factors for HL were not present in 61.5% of these cases. Confirmation was done at a median age of 6 months with an Interquartile Range (IQR) (4; 12). Interventions in the form of speech therapy and hearing aid were started at a median age of 17.5 months with an IQR (13;25) and the median duration of intervention till the time of assessment was 30 months with an IQR (17;43) Out of 13, five children were managed with hearing aid. Another five required cochlear implant at a median age of 24 months with an IQR (17.5; 33). All received speech therapy. Three children were lost during follow up. On assessment using ISD and REELS, eight out of the remaining 10 children showed a lag in the speech and language development, with a median delay of 19.3 months with an IQR (2; 34.5)
Conclusions
Coverage of the program was optimal, with almost all newborns successfully screened. More than half of the confirmed children did not exhibit risk factors for HL and therefore might not have been identified early without UNHS. The observed median age of starting intervention for confirmed cases was higher than the age recommended by AAP guidelines and most of the children had language development below those of typically hearing age mates after months of intervention.

ON THE ROLE OF ROS AND ANTIOXIDANTS IN TUMOR INITIATION AND PROGRESSION

description: It is well established that reactive oxygen species (ROS) can cause DNA damage that can turn a normal cell into a cancer cell and that antioxidant supplementation can prevent this process and inhibit tumor initiation. However, recent studies indicate that ROS can inhibit the proliferation of lung cancer cells and inhibit metastasis of malignant melanoma cells, and consequently, antioxidant supplementation can accelerate tumor growth and facilitate metastasis. Thus, Pr Bergö's team argues that ROS is harmful to both healthy cells and tumor cells, and that antioxidant supplementation can inhibit tumor initiation but accelerate tumor progression. This reasoning could potentially explain the puzzling and varying outcomes of clinical trials with antioxidants.

description: Both diabetes and cancer are prevalent diseases whose incidence is increasing worldwide. Epidemiological studies provide strong evidence that subjects with diabetes are at significantly higher risk of developing many forms of cancer and especially solid tumors. In addition to pancreatic and breast cancer, the incidence of colorectal cancer is increased in type 2 diabetes. While diabetes and especially type 2 diabetes and cancer share many risk factors, the biological links between the two diseases are poorly characterized. Our group has identified new sources of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that play a central role in diabetes-induced cancer. Our hypothesis is that inactivation of AMPK and tuberin and activation of the mTOR pathway through ROS dependant mechanisms in diabetes results in downregulation of the DNA repair enzyme 8-oxoG-DNA glycosylase (OGG1) and accumulation of 8-oxodG. 8-OxodG accelerating tumor development and tumor burden.

description: Reservoir engineering has become a prominent tool to control quantum systems. Recently, there have been first experiments applying it to many-body systems, especially with a view to engineer particle-conserving dissipation for quantum simulations using bosons. In this work, we explore the dissipative dynamics of these systems in the classical limit. We derive a general equation of motion capturing the effective nonlinear dissipation introduced by the bath and apply it to the special case of a Bose-Hubbard model, where it leads to an unconventional type of dissipative nonlinear Schrödinger equation. Building on that, we study the dynamics of one and two solitons in such a dissipative classical field theory.

description: Myocardial infarction is a common health problem associated with a high morbidity and mortality rates. Myocardial reperfusion has the potential to salvage ischemic myocardium but paradoxically can cause injury, a phenomenon called as ‘reperfusion injury’. Both myocardial infarction and ischemia re-perfusion injury are associated with a significant increase in oxidative stress. Galectin-3, a 35 kDa protein, plays a regulatory role in several diverse biological processes. Galectin-3 has shown to play an important role in oxidative stress.

description: Mountains are remarkable storehouses of global biodiversity that provide a broad range of ecosystem services underpinning billions of livelihoods. The world’s network of protected areas includes many iconic mountain landscapes. However, only ca. 19% of mountain areas globally are protected (excluding Antarctica); many mountain areas are inadequately (<30% of their total terrestrial area) or completely unprotected. To support the UN Convention on Biological Diversity’s Global Biodiversity Framework goal of protecting at least 30% of the world’s lands by 2030, we have developed a strategic decision-support tool for identifying and prioritizing which candidate mountain areas most urgently require protection. To test its efficacy, we applied the tool to the Western Himalaya Case Study Area (WHCSA). The six-step algorithm harnesses multiple datasets including mountain Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs), World Terrestrial Ecosystems, Biodiversity Hotspots, and Red List species and ecosystems. It also makes use of other key attributes including opportunities for disaster risk reduction, climate change adaptation, developing mountain tourism, maintaining elevational gradients and natural ecological corridors, and conserving flagship species. This method resulted in nine categories of potential action—four categories for follow-up action (ranked by order of importance and priority), and five categories requiring no further immediate action (either because countries are inadequately equipped to respond to protection deficits or because their KBAs are deemed adequately protected). An area-based analysis of the WHCSA identified 33 mountain KBAs regarded as inadequately protected, which included 29 inadequately protected World Mountain Ecosystems. All 33 inadequately protected KBAs in the WHCSA are Category A1: first-priority mountain KBAs (located in the Himalaya Biodiversity Hotspot in developing countries), requiring the most urgent attention for protection and conservation. Priorities for action can be fine-filtered by regional teams with sufficient local knowledge and country-specific values to finalize lists of priority mountain areas for protection. This rapid assessment tool ensures a repeatable, unbiased, and scientifically credible method for allocating resources and priorities to safeguard the world’s most biodiverse mountain areas facing myriad threats in the Anthropocene.

description: The metabolic syndrome (MS) is a silent growing epidemic linked to life-threatening diseases including heart disease and diabetes. MS is characterized by a cluster of metabolic disorders associated with abdominal obesity. Decreased HDL cholesterol is a major component of the metabolic syndrome in the Gulf region. The role of HDL in reverse cholesterol transport (Good cholesterol) is well established. However, HDL has recently been emphasized as an effective anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant factor. My research focuses on the relation between major components of the metabolic syndrome, particularly lowered HDL-C levels, and metabolic factors linked to oxidative stress.

description: The Jordan-Wigner transformation is frequently utilised to rewrite quantum spin chains in terms of fermionic operators. When the resulting Hamiltonian is bilinear in these fermions, i.e. the fermions are free, the exact spectrum follows from the eigenvalues of a matrix whose size grows only linearly with the volume of the system. However, several Hamiltonians that do not admit a Jordan-Wigner transformation to fermion bilinears still have the same type of free-fermion spectra. The spectra of such ``free fermions in disguise" models can be found exactly by an intricate but explicit construction of the raising and lowering operators. We generalise the methods further to find a family of such spin chains. We compute the exact spectrum, and generalise an elegant graph-theory construction. We also explain how this family admits an N=2 lattice supersymmetry.
