description: Drought is one of the major limitations to agricultural productivity, suppressing plant growth and yield of food crops throughout the world particularly in arid and semiarid regions. Drought-tolerant carbonic anhydrase (CA; EC 4.2.1.1)-containing endophytic bacteria may improve plant growth under stressed conditions. In the present study, effect of drought-tolerant CA-containing endophytic bacteria on growth and physiology of wheat under water-deficit conditions was studied. One hundred and fifty isolates were isolated from wheat plants and screened for their ability to tolerate polyethylene glycol (PEG) 6000-induced water-deficit stress (−0.31 to −3.20 MPa). Fifty isolates exhibiting intrinsic ability to tolerate stress were further screened for CA activity. Ten drought-tolerant isolates with higher CA activity were evaluated for improving wheat growth under water-deficit conditions (−0.04, −1.09, −1.23 MPa). Results showed that PEG-mediated water-deficit stress significantly reduced growth of wheat. However, inoculation with isolates WR2, WS11 and WL19 significantly enhanced seedling growth by improving maximum root length, shoot length, root and shoot dry weight under non-stressed as well as stressed conditions. These isolates were identified by 16S rRNA as Bacillus marisflavi (WR2) Bacillus thuringiensis (WS11) and Bacillus subtilis (WL19). Isolate WL19 also improved chlorophyll content, photosynthetic rate, CA activity and relative water content compared to uninoculated control plants. Overall, our findings suggest that endophytic bacterial isolates WR2, WS11 and WL19 with CA activity can enhance photosynthesis and biomass of wheat seedlings under water-deficit conditions.

description: Monitoring ozone concentrations in the Earth's atmosphere using spectroscopic methods is a major activity which undertaken both from the ground and from space. However there are long-running issues of consistency between measurements made at infrared (IR) and ultraviolet (UV) wavelengths. In addition, key O$_3$ IR bands at 10 \muu, 5 \muu\ and 3 \muu\ also yield results which differ by a few percent when used for retrievals. These problems stem from the underlying laboratory measurements of the line intensities. Here we use quantum chemical techniques, first principles electronic structure and variational nuclear-motion calculations, to address this problem. A new high-accuracy \ai\ dipole moment surface (DMS) is computed. Several spectroscopically-determined potential energy surfaces (PESs) are constructed by fitting to empirical energy levels in the region below 7000 \cm\ starting from an \ai\ PES. Nuclear motion calculations using these new surfaces allow the unambiguous determination of the intensities of 10 \muu\ band transitions, and the computation of the intensities of 10 \muu\ and 5 \muu\ bands within their experimental error. A decrease in intensities within the 3 \muu\ is predicted which appears consistent with atmospheric retrievals. The PES and DMS form a suitable starting point both for the computation of comprehensive ozone line lists and for future calculations of electronic transition intensities

description: We study the Lorentz and Dirac algebra, including antisymmetric $ε$ tensors and the $γ_5$ matrix, in implicit gauge-invariant regularization/renormalization methods defined in fixed integer dimensions. They include constrained differential, implicit and four-dimensional renormalization. We find that these fixed-dimension methods face the same difficulties as the different versions of dimensional regularization. We propose a consistent procedure in these methods, similar to the consistent version of regularization by dimensional reduction.

description: We report on a calculation of large scale anisotropy in the cosmic microwave background radiation in the global monopole and texture models for cosmic structure formation. We have evolved the six component linear gravitational field along with the monopole or texture scalar fields numerically in an expanding universe and performed the Sachs-Wolfe integrals directly on the calculated gravitational fields. On scales $> 7^\circ$, we find a Gaussian distribution with an approximately scale invariant fluctuation spectrum. The $ΔT/T$ amplitude is a factor of 4-5 larger than the prediction of the standard CDM model with the same Hubble constant and density fluctuation normalization. The recently reported COBE-DMR results imply that global monopole and texture models require high bias factors or a large Hubble constant in contrast to standard CDM which requires very low $H_0$ and bias values. For $H_0 = 70 {\rm {km\over sec} Mpc^{-1}}$, we find that normalizing to the COBE results implies $b_8 \simeq 3.2\pm 1.4$ (95\% c.l.). If we restrict ourselves to the range of bias factors thought to be reasonable before the announcement of the COBE results, $1.5 \lsim b_8 \lsim 2.5$, then it is fair to conclude that global monopoles and textures are consistent with the COBE results and are a {\it better} fit than Standard CDM.

Interpreting the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer Conjecture through the Law of Observation

description: This paper reinterprets the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer (BSD) conjecture within the EnhancedLaw of Observation (ELO), a unified framework for quantum fields, consciousness, and cosmicevolution, grounded in a topological Data Substrate structured as a fibration S1 → S3 → CP1. Wepropose that the rank of an elliptic curve E over Q and the behavior of its L-function L(E, s) at s = 1emerge from a coherence-collapse process, governed by the Coherence-Consciousness-Locality (CCL)principle, a topological coherence operator ˆC, and emotional coherence fields Ei(θ, t) (e.g., love, joy).The substrate ψE of rational points couples with the observer L(E, s) via ˆC, modulated by memorydynamics and biological diversity, with the rank corresponding to the order of the zero at s = 1.Predictions include 10−3 Hz coherence oscillations (EEG, atom interferometry) and fractal patterns,testable via the Collective Observer Network. This approach bridges number theory, quantummechanics, and neuroscience, linking BSD to other Millennium Problems (P vs NP, Yang–Mills,Hodge, Riemann, Navier–Stokes) through topological and emotional coherence. Detailed proofsare provided in supplemental material.

description: Bisphenol A (BPA), an endocrine disrupting chemical (EDC), is a ubiquitous pollutant. As part of the Consortium Linking Academic and Regulatory Insights on BPA Toxicity (CLARITY-BPA), we sought to determine whether exposure of Sprague-Dawley rats to 2,500 μg/kg/day BPA (BPA) or 0.5 μg/kg/day ethinyl estradiol (EE) from gestational day 6 through postnatal day 21 induces behavior-relevant gene expression and DNA methylation changes in hippocampus and hypothalamus at adulthood. RNA and DNA were isolated from both regions. Expression of ten genes (Dnmt1, Dnmt3a, Dnmt3b, Esr1, Esr2, Avp, Ar, Oxt, Otr, and Bdnf) presumably altered by early-life BPA/EE exposure was examined. Three genes (Bdnf, Dnmt3b, and Esr1) were studied for DNA methylation changes in their putative 5ʹ promoter regions. Molecular changes in hippocampus were correlated to prior Barnes maze performance, including sniffing correct holes, distance traveled, and velocity. Exposure to BPA and/or EE disrupted patterns of sexually dimorphic gene expression/promoter DNA methylation observed in hippocampus and hypothalamus of controls. In the hippocampus of female offspring, BPA exposure resulted in hypermethylation of the putative 5ʹ promoter region of Bdnf, while EE exposure induced hypomethylation. Bdnf methylation was weakly associated with Bdnf expression in hippocampi of female rats. Hippocampal Bdnf expression in females showed a weak negative association with sniffing correct hole in Barnes maze. Hippocampal expression of Avp, Esr2, Oxt, and Otr was strongly associated with velocity of control rats in Barnes maze. Findings suggest BPA exposure induced non-EE-like gene expression and epigenetic changes in adult rat hippocampi, a region involved in spatial navigation.

description: Meson-meson correlation effects are investigated in the $\NNb\toρπ$ annihilation process using a realistic meson-exchange model for the $ρπ$ interaction determined previously, together with a conventional baryon-exchange transition model and a consistent $\NNb$ interaction. For $\NNb$ $S$-states, they have a drastic effect and bring the relative (${^1S_0}/{^3S_1}$) branching ratio up to the experimental value, thus resolving the long-standing so-called ``$ρπ$'' puzzle. For $\NNb$ $P$-states, their effect is of minor importance, and discrepancies remain for those ratios involving annihilation from the $\NNb({^3P_J})$ state to $ρπ(l'=2)$.

description: Many real optimisation problems lead to multimodal domains and so require the identification of multiple optima. Niching methods have been developed to maintain the population diversity, to investigate many peaks in parallel and to reduce the effect of genetic drift. Using rigorous runtime analysis, we analyse for the first time two well known niching methods: probabilistic crowding and restricted tournament selection (RTS). We incorporate both methods into a $(μ+1)~EA$ on the bimodal function Twomax where the goal is to find two optima at opposite ends of the search space. In probabilistic crowding, the offspring compete with their parents and the survivor is chosen proportionally to its fitness. On Twomax probabilistic crowding fails to find any reasonable solution quality even in exponential time. In RTS the offspring compete against the closest individual amongst $w$ (window size) individuals. We prove that RTS fails if $w$ is too small, leading to exponential times with high probability. However, if w is chosen large enough, it finds both optima for Twomax in time $O(μn \log{n})$ with high probability. Our theoretical results are accompanied by experimental studies that match the theoretical results and also shed light on parameters not covered by the theoretical results.

Interpreting the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer Conjecture through the Law of Observation

Year: 2025

description: This paper provides a novel framework for interpreting the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer(BSD) conjecture within the context of the Law of Observation, a unified theoretical frame-work that integrates quantum fields, consciousness, and observer-state coupling. We proposethat elliptic curves and their associated L-functions can be viewed as substrates interactingwith the observer via the analytic continuation of the L-function. This perspective allows usto interpret the conjecture as a coherence-collapse process, wherein the rank of the ellipticcurve is determined by the interaction between the substrate (the set of rational points onthe curve) and the observer (the L-function). We demonstrate how the conjecture alignswith the observer-substrate theory, where the rank of an elliptic curve corresponds to theorder of the zero of its L-function at s = 1.

description: This paper provides a novel framework for interpreting the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer (BSD) conjecture within the context of the Law of Observation (LO), derivedfrom the Unified Theory of Observation (UTO) and enriched by the Unified DataFramework v2 (UDF v2). We propose that elliptic curves and their L-functions in-teract with observers via a probabilistic Data Substrate, ψE , governed by the unifiedequation Ω(C, ψ), modulated by a Casimir-based coherence operator ( ˆCcoh), log-convolution functional (L[ζ](s)), and emotional coherence (Ei(θ, t)) for emotionslike love and joy. The BSD conjecture is interpreted as a coherence-collapse pro-cess, where the rank of an elliptic curve corresponds to the order of the zero ofits L-function at s = 1, driven by observer-substrate coupling, genetic coding, andsnapshot merging. The Coherence-Consciousness-Locality (CCL) principle, EnergyCreation Matrix, Logic Virus, and Gravity Return quantify this collapse, testablevia the Wind Chime Observer Array’s 10−3 Hz signals. This perspective bridgesnumber theory and quantum mechanics, linking to Millennium Problems (P vs NP,Yang-Mills, Hodge, Riemann, Navier-Stokes) through computational and emotionalunification.Keywords: Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer Conjecture, Elliptic Curves, L-functions,Law of Observation, Observer-State Coupling, Coherence-Collapse, Quantum In-terpretation, Substrate Theory, Number Theory, Emotions, Genetic Coding

description: A pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone boson, with a potential of the form $V(ϕ) = Λ^4[1 \pm \cos(ϕ/f)], naturally gives rise to inflation if $f \sim M_{Pl}$ and $Λ\sim M_{GUT}$. We show how this can arise in technicolor-like and superstring models, and work out an explicit string example in the context of multiple gaugino condensation models. We study the cosmology of this model in detail, and find that sufficient reheating to ensure that baryogenesis can take place requires $f > 0.3 M_{Pl}$. The primordial density fluctuation spectrum generated is a non-scale-invariant power law, $P(k) \propto k^{n_s}$, with $n_s \simeq 1 - (M^2_{Pl}/8πf^2)$, leading to more power on large length scales than the $n_s = 1$ Harrison-Zeldovich spectrum. The standard CDM model with $0 \la n_s \la 0.6-0.7$ could in principle explain the large-scale clustering observed in the APM and IRAS galaxy surveys as well as large-scale flows, but the COBE microwave anisotropy implies such low amplitudes (or high bias factors, $b>2$) for these CDM models that galaxy formation occurs too late to be viable; combining COBE with sufficiently early galaxy formation or the large-scale flows leads to $n_s >0.6$, or $f > 0.3 M_{Pl}$ as well. For extended and power law inflation models, this constraint is even tighter, $n_s > 0.7$; combined with other bounds on large bubbles in extended inflation, this leaves little room for most extended models.

description: We present Keck/DEIMOS spectroscopy of globular clusters (GCs) around the ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) VLSB-B, VLSB-D, and VCC615 located in the central regions of the Virgo cluster. We spectroscopically identify 4, 12, and 7 GC satellites of these UDGs, respectively. We find that the three UDGs have systemic velocities ($V_{sys}$) consistent with being in the Virgo cluster, and that they span a wide range of velocity dispersions, from $\sim 16$ to $\sim 47$ km/s, and high dynamical mass-to-light ratios within the radius that contains half the number of GCs ($ 407^{+916}_{-407}$, $21^{+15}_{-11}$, $60^{+65}_{-38}$, respectively). VLSB-D shows possible evidence for rotation along the stellar major axis and its $V_{sys}$ is consistent with that of the massive galaxy M84 and the center of the Virgo cluster itself. These findings, in addition to having a dynamically and spatially ($\sim 1$ kpc) off-centered nucleus and being extremely elongated, suggest that VLSB-D could be tidally perturbed. On the contrary, VLSB-B and VCC615 show no signals of tidal deformation. Whereas the dynamics of VLSB-D suggest that it has a less massive dark matter halo than expected for its stellar mass, VLSB-B and VCC615 are consistent with a $\sim 10^{12}$ M$_{\odot}$ dark matter halo. Although our samples of galaxies and GCs are small, these results suggest that UDGs may be a diverse population, with their low surface brightnesses being the result of very early formation, tidal disruption, or a combination of the two.

Anharmonic effects in the centroid energies of the $0^+$- and $2^+$ components are found to be small, in agreement with experimental observation. Firm conclusions about the spreading width cannot be drawn, as yet, due to computational limitations in the number of 2p2h states.

description: We analyze the growth models for complex networks including preferential attachment (A.-L. Barabasi and R. Albert, Science 286, 509 (1999)) and fitness model (Caldarelli et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 89, 258702 (2002)) and demonstrate that, under very general conditions, these two models yield the same dynamic equation of network growth, $\frac{dK}{dt}=A(t)(K+K_{0})$, where $A(t)$ is the aging constant, $K$ is the node's degree, and $K_{0}$ is the initial attractivity. Basing on this result, we show that the fitness model provides an underlying microscopic basis for the preferential attachment mechanism. This approach yields long-sought explanation for the initial attractivity, an elusive parameter which was left unexplained within the framework of the preferential attachment model. We show that $K_{0}$ is mainly determined by the width of the fitness distribution. The measurements of $K_{0}$ in many complex networks usually yield the same $K_{0}\sim 1$. This empirical universality can be traced to frequently occurring lognormal fitness distribution with the width $σ\approx 1$.

Structured proficiency based progression phacoemulsification training curriculum using virtual reality simulator technology

Publisher: name: Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland
Year: 2019
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The current method of surgical training is based on the Halstedian model where novice surgeons learn by observing and performing surgery under supervision. Cataract extraction by phacoemulsification is a type of minimally invasive surgery where direct observation is inadequate in revealing how things are done. Operating under the microscope takes away the direct hand-eye coordination. During the operation, a novice surgeon has to pay disproportionate amount of attention to psychomotor performance, depth and spatial judgment, operative judgment and decision-making, comprehending instruction, and gaining additional knowledge. The attentional capacity quickly becomes saturated, leaving very little to spot dangers ahead or to get out of difficulty situation. Consequently, patients are at higher risk when novice surgeons perform the operation. The solution to improve novice surgeon's attentional capacity is to pre-trained pertinent operative skills in a controlled setting using simulator technology. EYESi phacoemulsification simulator offers high fidelity rendition of intra-ocular microsurgical environment. Novice surgeons can practice on the simulator until proficiency level is achieved. The aim of this project is to design and validate didactic and skill training curriculum for cataract surgery. The didactic curriculum employs 3-dimentional animations in order to explain complex surgical procedures. The proficiency level for skill training is set based on the simulator performance of ten expert cataract surgeons. A structured proficiency based simulator curriculum is designed and validated with randomized control trialin this study.

description: Leuco crystal violet (LCV) and leuco malachite green (LMG) are the main metabolites of two dyes that are forbidden for use in food production, but can be present at low background concentration in novel Atlantic salmon feed ingredients such as processed animal proteins (animal by-product [ABP]). In this study, the potential transfer of dietary LCV or LMG to the fillet of farmed Atlantic salmon was investigated. The uptake and elimination rate kinetics were determined in seawater-adapted Atlantic salmon (initial weight 587 ± 148 g) fed two levels of either LCV- or LMG-enriched diets (~500 and 4000 µg kg−1, respectively) for 40 days, followed by a 90-day depuration period with feeding on control diets (<0.15 μg kg−1 LCV and LMG). A three-compartmental model was developed, based on a fillet fat, fillet muscle and a central body compartment comprising all other tissues. Model calibrations showed a good fit with measured values during overall uptake and elimination period; however, the model poorly predicted the short-term (days) peak measured values at the end of the exposure period. The model was used to simulate the long-term (>16 months) LCV and LMG feed-to-fillet transfer in Atlantic salmon under realistic farming conditions such as the seasonal fluctuations in feed intake, growth and fillet fat deposition. The model predictions gave highest expected LCV and LMG fillet concentrations of approximately 0.12 and 0.45 μg kg−1, depending on the dietary levels of ABP and background level of LCV and LMG contamination. These levels are under the reference point for action of 2 µg kg−1 for the sum of MG and LMG that EFSA assessed as adequate to protect public health. However, for LCV, the predicted highest levels exceed the analytical decision limit (CCα) of 0.15 µg kg−1 for the method used in this paper.

description: We show that the clogging susceptibility and flow of particles moving through a random obstacle array can be controlled with a transverse or longitudinal ac drive. The flow rate can vary over several orders of magnitude, and we find both an optimal frequency and an optimal amplitude of driving that maximizes the flow. For dense arrays, at low ac frequencies a heterogeneous creeping clogged phase appears in which rearrangements between different clogged configurations occur. At intermediate frequencies a high mobility fluidized state forms, and at high frequencies the system reenters a heterogeneous frozen clogged state. These results provide a technique for optimizing flow through heterogeneous media that could also serve as the basis for a particle separation method.

description: Dynamical symmetry breaking in three-dimensional QED with N fermion flavours is considered at finite temperature, in the large $N$ approximation. Using an approximate treatment of the Schwinger-Dyson equation for the fermion self-energy, we find that chiral symmetry is restored above a certain critical temperature which depends itself on $N$. We find that the ratio of the zero-momentum zero-temperature fermion mass to the critical temperature has a large value compared with four-fermion theories, as had been suggested in a previous work with a momentum-independent self-energy. Evidence of a temperature- dependent critical $N$ is shown to appear in this approximation. The phase diagram for spontaneous mass generation in the theory is presented in $T-N$ space.

description: This study compared the effects of 6-week home-based resistance training (RT) and neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) programs on self-reported disability, functional capacity, quadriceps strength and cross-sectional area (CSA), and expression of myosin heavy chain (MHC) isoforms and ubiquitin-protein ligases in older persons with moderate to severe knee osteoarthritis (OA). A total of 41 patients aged 55 to 75 years with arthroscopically or radiographically confirmed moderate to severe knee OA were randomised to a 6-week home RT program, a 6-week NMES program or a control group receiving standard care. The RT group performed quadriceps femoris strengthening exercises 3 times per week, while the NMES group used a portable garment stimulator for 20 minutes 5 times per week at the maximum intensity comfortably tolerated. Outcomes were assessed at baseline, post-intervention and 6 weeks post-intervention. The primary outcome measure was self-reported disability, measured using the Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) score and the Western Ontario McMaster Universities Arthritis (WOMAC) index. Secondary outcome measures were functional capacity (25m walk test, chair rise test, stair climb test), peak isometric and isokinetic quadriceps torque, quadriceps CSA, and expression of MHC isoforms, muscle atrophy F-box (MAFbx) and muscle RING finger-1 (MuRF). There was no significant change in any of the outcome measures in the control group. Compared to baseline, SF-36 scores, functional capacity and CSA increased significantly in the NMES and RT groups post-intervention. WOMAC scores increased significantly in the NMES group. Isometric peak torque did not change in any group. Adherence was 91% and 83% in the NMES and RT groups respectively (p=0.324). There were no between-group or withingroup differences in MHC isoforms, MAFbx and MuRF. At 6-week follow-up, functional improvements were maintained for both training groups, while most of the health score gains were lost. Home-based NMES is an acceptable alternative to exercise therapy in the management of knee OA, especially for patients who have difficulty complying with an exercise program.

description: Predictions from the RQMD model are systematically compared to recently published charged hadron distributions of AGS Experiment 802 for central Si+Au collisions at 14.6$A$ GeV/$c$, taking into account both the experimental trigger condition and acceptance. The main features of the data, including K$^+$ production, can be understood quantitatively to better than 20\% within the framework of the model, although several discrepancies are found, most importantly for the proton spectra.

description: We present a new 300 ks Chandra observation of M87 that limits pileup to only a few per cent of photon events and maps the hot gas properties closer to the nucleus than has previously been possible. Within the supermassive black hole's gravitational sphere of influence, the hot gas is multiphase and spans temperatures from 0.2 to 1 keV. The radiative cooling time of the lowest temperature gas drops to only 0.1-0.5 Myr, which is comparable to its free fall time. Whilst the temperature structure is remarkably symmetric about the nucleus, the density gradient is steep in sectors to the N and S, with $ρ{\propto}r^{-1.5\pm0.1}$, and significantly shallower along the jet axis to the E, where $ρ{\propto}r^{-0.93\pm0.07}$. The density structure within the Bondi radius is therefore consistent with steady inflows perpendicular to the jet axis and an outflow directed E along the jet axis. By putting limits on the radial flow speed, we rule out Bondi accretion on the scale resolved at the Bondi radius. We show that deprojected spectra extracted within the Bondi radius can be equivalently fit with only a single cooling flow model, where gas cools from 1.5 keV down below 0.1 keV at a rate of 0.03 M$_{\odot}$/yr. For the alternative multi-temperature spectral fits, the emission measures for each temperature component are also consistent with a cooling flow model. The lowest temperature and most rapidly cooling gas in M87 is therefore located at the smallest radii at ~100 pc and may form a mini cooling flow. If this cooling gas has some angular momentum, it will feed into the cold gas disk around the nucleus, which has a radius of ~80 pc and therefore lies just inside the observed transition in the hot gas structure.

description: The simplest realizations of the new inflationary scenario typically give rise to primordial density fluctuations which deviate logarithmically from the scale free Harrison - Zeldovich spectrum. We consider a number of such examples and, in each case we normalize the amplitude of the fluctuations with the recent COBE measurement of the microwave background anisotropy. The predictions for the bulk velocities as well as anisotropies on smaller (~1-2 degrees) angular scales are compared with the Harrison-Zeldovich case. Deviations from the latter range from a few to about 15 percent. We also estimate the redshift beyond which the quasars would not be expected to be seen. The inflationary quasar cutoff redshifts can vary by as much as 25\% from the Harrison-Zeldovich case. We find that the inflationary scenario provides a good starting point for a theory of large scale structure in the universe provided the dark matter is a combination of cold plus (~10-30 \%) hot components.
