Year: 2012

description: The rise of accessible commercial eye-tracking systems has fueled a rapid increase in their use in psychological and psychiatric research. By providing a direct, detailed and objective measure of gaze behavior, eye-tracking has become a valuable tool for examining abnormal perceptual strategies in clinical populations and has been used to identify disorder-specific characteristics1, promote early identification2, and inform treatment3. In particular, investigators of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) have benefited from integrating eye-tracking into their research paradigms4-7. Eye-tracking has largely been used in these studies to reveal mechanisms underlying impaired task performance8 and abnormal brain functioning9, particularly during the processing of social information1,10-11. While older children and adults with ASD comprise the preponderance of research in this area, eye-tracking may be especially useful for studying young children with the disorder as it offers a non-invasive tool for assessing and quantifying early-emerging developmental abnormalities2,12-13. Implementing eye-tracking with young children with ASD, however, is associated with a number of unique challenges, including issues with compliant behavior resulting from specific task demands and disorder-related psychosocial considerations. In this protocol, we detail methodological considerations for optimizing research design, data acquisition and psychometric analysis while eye-tracking young children with ASD. The provided recommendations are also designed to be more broadly applicable for eye-tracking children with other developmental disabilities. By offering guidelines for best practices in these areas based upon lessons derived from our own work, we hope to help other investigators make sound research design and analysis choices while avoiding common pitfalls that can compromise data acquisition while eye-tracking young children with ASD or other developmental difficulties.

description: Today, 5G networks are being worldwide rolled out, with significant benefits in our economy and society. However, 5G systems alone are not expected to be sufficient for the challenges that 2030 networks will experience, including, e.g., always-on networks, 1 Tbps peak data rate, <10 cm positioning, etc. Thus, the definition of evolutions of the 5G systems and their (r)evolutions are already being addressed by the scientific and industrial communities, targeting 5G-Advanced (5G-A) and 6G. In this framework, Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN) have successfully been integrated in 3GPP Rel. 17 and it is expected that they will play an even more pivotal role for 5G-A (up to Rel. 20) and 6G systems (beyond Rel. 20). In this paper, we explore the path that will lead to 5G-A and 6G NTN communications, providing a clear perspective in terms of system architecture, services, technologies, and standardisation roadmap.

description: Urban Last-Mile Delivery (LMD) is typically plagued with high uncertainty due to urban road traffic, parking spot unavailability and customer order handover process which in turn leads high operational costs accompanied by several sustainability challenges. Considering these issues, this study assesses the impact of innovative transportation and logistics strategies on LMDs. Specifically, this study examines the potential benefits emerging from the implementation of concepts such as the Physical Internet (in terms of complete collaboration) along with supporting paradigm technologies such as IoT in addition to the use of green logistics to address sustainability issues. Real data obtained from an E-commerce company operating in Madrid city center is utilized to create a simulated environment for evaluating the effects of order sharing and fleet sharing facilitated by urban consolidation centers and dynamic order reshuffling on operational, economic, and environmental indicators. In particular, an urban digital twin has been developed to assess the impact of such collaborative transport strategies on last mile deliveries. The results highlight the significant improvements that can be achieved in LMD performance including reduced delivery times, costs, and emissions. Furthermore, the research also provides valuable insights for urban planners and logistics companies looking to optimize last mile delivery operations in cities.
Generation of Organotypic Raft Cultures from Primary Human Keratinocytes
Creators: name: Anacker, Daniel
name: Moody, Cary
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2012

description: The development of organotypic epithelial raft cultures has provided researchers with an efficient in vitro system that faithfully recapitulates epithelial differentiation. There are many uses for this system. For instance, the ability to grow three-dimensional organotypic raft cultures of keratinocytes has been an important milestone in the study of human papillomavirus (HPV)1. The life cycle of HPV is tightly linked to the differentiation of squamous epithelium2. Organotypic epithelial raft cultures as demonstrated here reproduce the entire papillomavirus life cycle, including virus production3,4,5. In addition, these raft cultures exhibit dysplastic lesions similar to those observed upon in vivo infection with HPV. Hence this system can also be used to study epithelial cell cancers, as well as the effect of drugs on epithelial cell differentiation in general. Originally developed by Asselineau and Prunieras6 and modified by Kopan et al.7, the organotypic epithelial raft culture system has matured into a general, relatively easy culture model, which involves the growth of cells on collagen plugs maintained at an air-liquid interface (Figure 1A). Over the course of 10-14 days, the cells stratify and differentiate, forming a full thickness epithelium that produces differentiation-specific cytokeratins. Harvested rafts can be examined histologically, as well as by standard molecular and biochemical techniques. In this article, we describe a method for the generation of raft cultures from primary human keratinocytes. The same technique can be used with established epithelial cell lines, and can easily be adapted for use with epithelial tissue from normal or diseased biopsies8. Many viruses target either the cutaneous or mucosal epithelium as part of their replicative life cycle. Over the past several years, the feasibility of using organotypic raft cultures as a method of studying virus-host cell interactions has been shown for several herpesviruses, as well as adenoviruses, parvoviruses, and poxviruses9. Organotypic raft cultures can thus be adapted to examine viral pathogenesis, and are the only means to test novel antiviral agents for those viruses that are not cultivable in permanent cell lines.

description: A three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of the 2007, May 20 partial-halo Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) has been made using STEREO/EUVI and STEREO/COR1 coronagraphic images. The trajectory and kinematics of the erupting filament have been derived from EUVI image pairs with the "tie-pointing" triangulation technique, while the polarization ratio technique has been applied to COR1 data to determine the average position and depth of the CME front along the line of sight. These 3D geometrical information have been combined for the first time with spectroscopic measurements of the OVI $λλ$1031.91, 1037.61 Å line profiles made with the Ultraviolet Coronagraph Spectrometer (UVCS) on board SOHO. Comparison between the prominence trajectory extrapolated at the altitude of UVCS observations and the core transit time measured from UVCS data made possible a firm identification of the CME core observed in white light and UV with the prominence plasma expelled during the CME. Results on the 3D structure of the CME front have been used to calculate synthetic spectral profiles of the OVI $λ\lambda1031.91$ Å line expected along the UVCS slit, in an attempt to reproduce the measured line widths. Observed line widths can be reproduced within the uncertainties only in the peripheral part of the CME front; at the front center, where the distance of the emitting plasma from the plane of the sky is greater, synthetic widths turn out to be $\sim 25$% lower than the measured ones. This provides strong evidence of line broadening due to plasma heating mechanisms in addition to bulk expansion of the emitting volume.

description: Starting from the purpose of adding a clue to the understanding of the primary idea of the monarchical institution, we examine here an odd formula in Servius’ commentary on the Aeneid. On an unknown day, the vestal virgins used to tell the rex sacrorum “Vigilasne rex? Vigila”. Our research deals with two main problems: I. Which is the meaning of the verb ‘vigilare’? II. When would the priestesses have had to pronounce it? Suggesting the opportunity to interpret the verb in its ancient meaning of ‘wake up’, specifically in the nuance of ‘regain strength/flourish’, we use a multi-disciplinary approach which intersects philosophy, anthropology, law, and comparative linguistics. We finally locate the pronunciation of the formula on 1 March, i.e. the end of the regifugium, the annual celebration in which peaceful season and warfare season overlap, thus involving a transformation of the rex, with the symbolically death of his civic face and the re-birth of his warlike side. In the complex annual ceremonial network concerning the figure of the king, he is shown as a paradigm of the eternal ambiguity of power, harnessed and kept under control through the ritual controlling the sovereign's continuous death and rebirth.

Furthermore, it could serve as a research tool for analysis of complex, multifactorial medical conditions. In order for such a multianalyte sensor to be realized, it must be minimally invasive, sampling of interstitial fluid must occur without pain or harm to the user, and analysis must be rapid as well as selective.

description: In this letter, we discuss how flow inhomogeneity affects the self-diffusion behavior in granular flows. Whereas self-diffusion scalings have been well characterized in the past for homogeneous shearing, the effect of shear localization and nonlocality of the flow has not been studied. We therefore present measurements of self-diffusion coefficients in discrete numerical simulations of steady, inhomogeneous, and collisional shearing flows of nearly identical, frictional, and inelastic spheres. We focus on a wide range of dense solid volume fractions, that correspond to geophysical and industrial shearing flows that are dominated by collisional interactions. We compare the measured values first, with a scaling based on shear rate and, then, on a scaling based on the granular temperature. We find that the latter does much better than the former in collapsing the data. The results lay the foundations of diffusion models for inhomogeneous shearing flows, which should be useful in treating problems of mixing and segregation.

description: This Paper evaluates the impact of collaborative transport strategies and emerging technologies on an intercontinental transport network with a digital twin. The study assesses the effects of applying Physical Internet (PI) concepts and enabling technologies, such as Internet of Things, blockchain, and artificial intelligence, on the performance of the transport network, including key indicators such as carbon emissions, delivery performance, and logistics costs. Results show that implementing PI concepts and integrating these technologies can lead to improvements in environmental and economic indicators. Despite these benefits, there are several challenges to overcome, including the integration of these technologies into existing logistics systems, coordination among stakeholders, security and confidentiality. Overall, the study demonstrates the potential of these technologies and concepts to contribute to sustainable transportation systems, but further research is needed to evaluate their feasibility and scalability in real-world transportation networks, as well as to develop strategies to address the challenges.

description: Transition-metal oxides offer an opportunity to explore unconventional superconductors, where the superconductivity (SC) is often interrelated with novel phenomena such as spin/charge order, fluctuations, and Fermi surface instability (1-3). LiTi2O4 (LTO) is a unique compound in that it is the only known spinel oxide superconductor. In addition to electron-phonon coupling, electron-electron and spin fluctuation contributions have been suggested as playing important roles in the microscopic mechanism for its superconductivity (4-8). However, the lack of high quality single crystals has thus far prevented systematic investigation of their transport properties (9). Here, we report a careful study of transport and tunneling spectroscopy in epitaxial LTO thin films. In the superconducting state, the energy gap was found to decrease as a quadratic function of magnetic field. In the normal state, an unusual magnetoresistance (MR) was observed where it changes from anisotropic positive to isotropic negative as the temperature is increased. A constant charge carrier concentration without any abrupt change in lattice parameters as a function of temperature suggests that the isotropic MR stems from the suppression of spin scattering/fluctuations, while the anisotropic term originates from an orbital contribution. These observations point to an important role strong correlations play in this unique superconductor.

A Novel Ex vivo Culture Method for the Embryonic Mouse Heart

description: Developmental studies in the mouse are hampered by the inaccessibility of the embryo during gestation. Thus, protocols to isolate and culture individual organs of interest are essential to provide a method of both visualizing changes in development and allowing novel treatment strategies. To promote the long-term culture of the embryonic heart at late stages of gestation, we developed a protocol in which the excised heart is cultured in a semi-solid, dilute Matrigel. This substrate provides enough support to maintain the three-dimensional structure but is flexible enough to allow continued contraction. In brief, hearts are excised from the embryo and placed in a mixture of cold Matrigel diluted 1:1 with growth medium. After the diluted Matrigel solidifies, growth medium is added to the culture dish. Hearts excised as late as embryonic day 16.5 were viable for four days post-dissection. Analysis of the coronary plexus shows that this method does not disrupt coronary vascular development. Thus, we present a novel method for long-term culture of embryonic hearts.

Dynamics of a vortex-antivortex pair, namely vortex dipole, were predicted and already observed. In this paper, we present a systematic micromagnetic study on that kind of dynamics in different spin-valves where the current is injected through a nano-aperture. Rotation and translation of vortex dipoles and rotation of vortex quadrupoles are shown depending on the shape and the size of the spin-valve. The origin of the different behaviors is explained within a micromagnetic framework.

description: About 74% of imports/exports and 37% of exchanges go through ports, making Europe highly dependent on ports for external and internal trade. In the European container supply chain, Short Sea Shipping (SSS) as well as inland waterways are not so well integrated in contrast to Deep Sea Shipping (DSS) ports (also referred to as Hub ports). MOSES is a European project, funded under the Horizon 2020 Work Programme, which aims to significantly enhance the SSS component of the European container supply chain by addressing the vulnerabilities and strains that relate to the operation of large containerships. The project develops a number of components that function as nodes of the Physical Internet, consisting of a number of data sources that when combined can lead to the development of meaningfull applications. Based on the technical innovations that are designed and developed, MOSES aims to reduce the environmental footprint for SSS and ports and improve the efficiency and end-toend delivery times of SSS mode. In parallel, it will enable the promotion of smart port development with minimal investment and the development of concrete business cases.

description: In hyperconnected urban logistics, all components and stakeholders are connected on multiple layers through standardized interfaces and open networks to achieve seamless responsiveness, efficiency, resilience, and sustainability. Key for high performance is achieving coordination and cooperation of urban stakeholders. In this Paper, we introduce the design of hyperconnected logistic service networks where associated logistic activities to move flows within an urban city are outsourced to third-party logistic service providers (3PL) via a bidding process to create service networks that are highly responsive and flexible at robustly responding to customer demand. We propose a framework for designing such networks that leverages a reverse combinatorial auction mechanism in which a logistic orchestrator serves as the auctioneer, putting out the logistic activities for auction and a set of participating service providers serve as bidders. We describe the design components of hyperconnected service networks and positions them into a comprehensive 3-stage design-making framework. Finally, we identify promising future research avenues for each stage in the proposed framework.

description: The proposal of pilgrim dark energy is based on the speculation that phantom-like dark energy possesses enough resistive force to preclude the black hole formation in the later universe. We explore this phenomenon by assuming the generalized ghost version of pilgrim dark energy. We find that most of the values of the interacting ($ξ^2$) as well as pilgrim dark energy ($u$) parameters push the equation of state parameter towards phantom region. The squared speed of sound shows that this model remains stable in most of the cases of $ξ^2$ and $u$. We also develop $ω_Λ-ω'_Λ$ plane and observe that this model corresponds to thawing as well as freezing regions. Finally, it is shown that the non-interacting and interacting generalized ghost versions of pilgrim dark energy correspond to $Λ$CDM limit on the statefinder plane.

POSTMODERN APPROACHES IN LITERATURE
Creators: name: Rizaeva, Dilyayra
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: This article explores the key characteristics and influences of postmodern approaches in literature. Postmodernism in literature emerged as a response to the social, cultural, and political changes of the post-World War II era. It challenges traditional notions of narrative, meaning, and authority, embracing fragmentation, intertextuality, and self-reflexivity. Postmodern literature often incorporates elements of pastiche, irony, and playfulness, inviting reader participation and interpretation. It engages with diverse themes including cultural relativism, identity politics, and the impact of technology on society. This article highlights the importance of global perspectives, feminist and gender perspectives, and postcolonial perspectives within postmodern literature. It also discusses the visual and verbal collage techniques employed by postmodern authors, as well as their exploration of environmental concerns and technological influences. By providing an overview of these aspects and influences, this article offers insights into the complex and evolving nature of postmodern approaches in literature.

description: The advent and growth E-Commerce has led to not only a huge increase in demand for rapid and guaranteed transport/delivery services, but also in the numbers of vehicles entering and leaving urban cities to deliver goods and services, clogging the roads and polluting the air. Seeking efficient usage of resources is inarguable. Motivated by these challenges, this Paper studies the design of hyperconnected parcel network design in line with the Physical Internet initiatives, modelling it as a coalition-formation game. The objective is to design a cooperative parcel delivery network among multiple delivery actors such that the actors within the same coalition can share resources. We develop a case study of La Poste to understand the impact of coalitional decisions and cost-sharing methods on the global and individual network design cost.

description: In vitro models using human primary epithelial cells are essential in understanding key functions of the respiratory epithelium in the context of microbial infections or inhaled agents. Direct comparisons of cells obtained from diseased populations allow us to characterize different phenotypes and dissect the underlying mechanisms mediating changes in epithelial cell function. Culturing epithelial cells from the human tracheobronchial region has been well documented, but is limited by the availability of human lung tissue or invasiveness associated with obtaining the bronchial brushes biopsies. Nasal epithelial cells are obtained through much less invasive superficial nasal scrape biopsies and subjects can be biopsied multiple times with no significant side effects. Additionally, the nose is the entry point to the respiratory system and therefore one of the first sites to be exposed to any kind of air-borne stressor, such as microbial agents, pollutants, or allergens.

description: Within this Paper, we discuss benefit sharing in modern freight logistics. We propose to introduce transport management platforms for organising intermodal transports. As this idea is not new at all, we focus on the sharing of (costs and) benefits within these platforms as in our understanding one main obstacle in collaborative logistics is the willingness of people (decision makers) to collaborate with (potential) competitors. Although in a future world where collaborative logistics are well-established there might be no need for such strategies, we think that during transition a fair sharing among participants which does not advantage one of them is crucial. A simple, yet fair calculation method is presented. Impacts and future works are then discussed.

As a model organ, we use the salivary glands of live mice since they provide several advantages. First, they can be easily exposed to enable access to the optics, and stabilized to facilitate the reduction of the motion artifacts due to heartbeat and respiration. This significantly facilitates imaging and tracking small subcellular structures. Second, most of the cell populations of the salivary glands are accessible from the surface of the organ. This permits the use of confocal microscopy that has a higher spatial resolution than other techniques that have been used for in vivo imaging, such as two-photon microscopy. Finally, salivary glands can be easily manipulated pharmacologically and genetically, thus providing a robust system to investigate biological processes at a molecular level.

Nemanjic family tree
Prizren
Gracanica

description: This article discusses the phenomenon of visual representation of the holy Nemanjić family tree and its multiple iconographic variations, including the horizontal and the vertical models, which reflect the theologically grounded royal ideology and its direct relation to that of the Davidic, messianic nature and body of the basileos ton Romaion. Already rooted in the days of the founder of the Nemanjić dynasty, Stefan Nemanja-Saint Simeon, and his sons, Stefan Prvovenčani and Saint Sava the Serbian, in the late 12th and early 13th century, the phenomenon is particularly manifest in the programme of decoration of such churches raised by king Milutin (1282-1321) as the Virgin Ljeviška in Prizren and the church of the Virgin in the monastery of Gračanica. It became even more intense because of Milutin’s marriage to the porphyrogenita Simonis, daughter of emperor Andronicos II, and his thereby achieved oneness – unity – with the Christian Empire of the Romans.

description: Synchromodal transport aims for more sustainable supply chains through more flexible operations and horizontal collaboration. However, one of the key challenges to implement it is the lack of trust and fear of losing competitiveness from potential participants. We propose a simulation model that represent a multimodal logistic network, to estimate the benefits generated by synchromodal transport and how these are distributed among logistic service providers.

description: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s 2014 guidance for assessing pesticide risks to bees relies on higher-tier studies of residues in pollen and nectar to refine pesticide exposure estimates obtained from lower tier information (e.g., default values and model-generated estimates). These higher tier residue studies tend to be resource intensive due to the need to address spatial and temporal factors which influence pesticide residues in pollen and nectar. Time and resource considerations restrict the number of samples, crops, and locations which can be studied. Given these resource constraints, questions remain on how to best optimize the design and number of residue studies for obtaining a robust dataset to refine exposure estimates of bees to pesticides. Factors to be optimized include the number of replicates in each sampling event, the number of sampling events over time, the number of sites/regions per study, and the number of crops to be assessed within and across crop groups. Using available field residue data for the neonicotinoid class of insecticides, we conducted an analysis of variability in residue data to address these and other study design elements. Comparisons of the magnitude of residues and variability are made across neonicotinoid chemicals (imidacloprid, clothianidin, thiamethoxam and dinotefuran) as well as the variability associated with intra- and inter-crop group comparisons and regional and soil texture gradients. Additionally, this analysis includes consideration of bee-relevant toxic metabolites for imidacloprid and thiamethoxam. Results of these analyses of neonicotinoid residue data are presented in the context of optimizing field residue study designs for assessing pesticide risks to bees.

description: We discuss alternative definitions of the semiclassical partition function in two-dimensional CFTs with higher spin symmetry, in the presence of sources for the higher spin currents. Theories of this type can often be described via Hamiltonian reduction of current algebras, and a holographic description in terms of three-dimensional Chern-Simons theory with generalized AdS boundary conditions becomes available. By studying the CFT Ward identities in the presence of non-trivial sources, we determine the appropriate choice of boundary terms and boundary conditions in Chern-Simons theory for the various types of partition functions considered. In particular, we compare the Chern-Simons description of deformations of the field theory Hamiltonian versus those encoding deformations of the CFT action. Our analysis clarifies various issues and confusions that have permeated the literature on this subject.

Isolation of Embryonic Ventricular Endothelial Cells

description: Cell culture has greatly enhanced our ability to assess individual populations of cells under myriad culture conditions. While immortalized cell lines offer significant advantages for their ease of use, these cell lines are unavailable for all potential cell types. By isolating primary cells from a specific region of interest, particularly from a transgenic mouse, more nuanced studies can be performed. The basic technique involves dissecting the organ or partial organ of interest (e.g. the heart or a specific region of the heart) and dissociating the organ to single cells. These cells are then incubated with magnetic beads conjugated to an antibody that recognizes the cell type of interest. The cells of interest can then be isolated with the use of a magnet, with a short trypsin incubation dissociating the cells from the beads. These isolated cells can then be cultured and analyzed as desired. This technique was originally designed for adult mouse organs but can be easily scaled down for use with embryonic organs, as demonstrated herein. Because our interest is in the developing coronary vasculature, we wanted to study this population of cells during specific embryonic stages. Thus, the original protocol had to be modified to be compatible with the small size of the embryonic ventricles and the low potential yield of endothelial cells at these developmental stages. Utilizing this scaled-down approach, we have assessed coronary plexus remodeling in transgenic embryonic ventricular endothelial cells.

description: In the presence of a missing response, reweighting the complete case subsample by the inverse of nonmissing probability is both intuitive and easy to implement. When the population totals of some auxiliary variables are known and when the inclusion probabilities are known by design, survey statisticians have developed calibration methods for improving efficiencies of the inverse probability weighting estimators and the methods can be applied to missing data analysis. Model-based calibration has been proposed in the survey sampling literature, where multidimensional auxiliary variables are first summarized into a predictor function from a working regression model. Usually, one working model is being proposed for each parameter of interest and results in different sets of calibration weights for estimating different parameters. This paper considers calibration using multiple working regression models for estimating a single or multiple parameters. Contrary to a common belief that overfitting hurts efficiency, we present three rather unexpected results. First, when the missing probability is correctly specified and multiple working regression models for the conditional mean are posited, calibration enjoys an oracle property: the same semiparametric efficiency bound is attained as if the true outcome model is known in advance. Second, when the missing data mechanism is misspecified, calibration can still be a consistent estimator when any one of the outcome regression models is correctly specified. Third, a common set of calibration weights can be used to improve efficiency in estimating multiple parameters of interest and can simultaneously attain semiparametric efficiency bounds for all parameters of interest. We provide connections of a wide class of calibration estimators, constructed based on generalized empirical likelihood, to many existing estimators in biostatistics, econometrics and survey sampling and perform simulation studies to show that the finite sample properties of calibration estimators conform well with the theoretical results being studied.
