description: The objectives of this study were to determine pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) indices of fluoroquinolones that minimize the emergence of resistant Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) using in vitro dynamic models and to establish mechanisms of resistance. Three fluoroquinolones, difloxacin (DIF), enrofloxacin (ENR), and marbofloxacin (MAR), at five dose levels and 3 days of treatment were simulated. Bacterial killing-regrowth kinetics and emergence of resistant bacteria after antibacterial drug exposure were quantified. PK/PD indices associated with different levels of antibacterial activity were computed. Mechanisms of fluoroquinolone resistance were determined by analyzing target mutations in the quinolone resistance-determining regions (QRDRs) and by analyzing overexpression of efflux pumps. Maximum losses in susceptibility of fluoroquinolone-exposed S. Typhimurium occurred at a simulated AUC/MIC ratio (area under the concentration-time curve over 24 h in the steady state divided by the MIC) of 47 to 71. Target mutations in gyrA (S83F) and overexpression of acrAB-tolC contributed to decreased susceptibility in fluoroquinolone-exposed S. Typhimurium. The current data suggest AUC/MIC (AUC/mutant prevention concentration [MPC])-dependent selection of resistant mutants of S. Typhimurium, with AUC/MPC ratios of 69 (DIF), 62 (ENR), and 39 (MAR) being protective against selection of resistant mutants. These values could not be achieved in veterinary clinical areas under the current recommended therapeutic doses of the fluoroquinolones, suggesting the need to reassess the current dosing regimen to include both clinical efficacy and minimization of emergence of resistant bacteria.

description: We consider holographic thermalization in the presence of a Weyl correction in five dimensional AdS space. We first obtain the Weyl corrected black brane solution perturbatively, up to first order in the coupling. The corresponding AdS-Vaidya like solution is then constructed. This is then used to numerically analyze the time dependence of the two point correlation functions and the expectation values of rectangular Wilson loops in the boundary field theory, and we discuss how the Weyl correction can modify the thermalization time scales in the dual field theory. In this context, the subtle interplay between the Weyl coupling constant and the chemical potential is studied in detail.

Endothelial Mechanosignaling: Does One Sensor Fit All?
Creators: name: Givens, Chris

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: Significance: Forces are important in the cardiovascular system, acting as regulators of vascular physiology and pathology. Residing at the blood vessel interface, cells (endothelial cell, EC) are constantly exposed to vascular forces, including shear stress. Shear stress is the frictional force exerted by blood flow, and its patterns differ based on vessel geometry and type. These patterns range from uniform laminar flow to nonuniform disturbed flow. Although ECs sense and differentially respond to flow patterns unique to their microenvironment, the mechanisms underlying endothelial mechanosensing remain incompletely understood. Recent Advances: A large body of work suggests that ECs possess many mechanosensors that decorate their apical, junctional, and basal surfaces. These potential mechanosensors sense blood flow, translating physical force into biochemical signaling events. Critical Issues: Understanding the mechanisms by which proposed mechanosensors sense and respond to shear stress requires an integrative approach. It is also critical to understand the role of these mechanosensors not only during embryonic development but also in the different vascular beds in the adult. Possible cross talk and integration of mechanosensing via the various mechanosensors remain a challenge. Future Directions: Determination of the hierarchy of endothelial mechanosensors is critical for future work, as is determination of the extent to which mechanosensors work together to achieve force-dependent signaling. The role and primary sensors of shear stress during development also remain an open question. Finally, integrative approaches must be used to determine absolute mechanosensory function of potential mechanosensors. Antioxid. Redox Signal. 25, 373–388.

description: The stepped wedge cluster randomised trial can be useful to inform real-world clinical decision-making, including decisions about the effectiveness of interventions in particular subgroups. However, there is little existing guidance about how to perform subgroup analyses in the stepped wedge design. We aim to determine the prevalence of subgroup analyses and describe statistical methods used to perform them in stepped wedge cluster randomised trials. We report this protocol according to the PRISMA-P checklist. We will search for terms related to ‘stepped wedge’. Sources will be PubMed, Embase, PsycINFO, Web of Science, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, and Current Controlled Trials Register. Studies will be eligible if they are written in English, involve human participants, and are primary or secondary reports of planned or completed stepped wedge cluster randomised trials. We will extract data related to study characteristics including the presence of subgroup analyses, characteristics of subgroup variables examined, statistical methods used to perform subgroup analyses, and adherence to the most consistently suggested recommendations for subgroup analyses in general including in clinical trials.

description: Due to the broad attack surface and the lack of runtime protection, potential safety and security threats hinder the real-life adoption of autonomous vehicles. Although efforts have been made to mitigate some specific attacks, there are few works on the protection of the self-driving system. This paper presents a decentralized self-protection framework called Guardauto to protect the self-driving system against runtime threats. First, Guardauto proposes an isolation model to decouple the self-driving system and isolate its components with a set of partitions. Second, Guardauto provides self-protection mechanisms for each target component, which combines different methods to monitor the target execution and plan adaption actions accordingly. Third, Guardauto provides cooperation among local self-protection mechanisms to identify the root-cause component in the case of cascading failures affecting multiple components. A prototype has been implemented and evaluated on the open-source autonomous driving system Autoware. Results show that Guardauto could effectively mitigate runtime failures and attacks, and protect the control system with acceptable performance overhead.

description: Proof assistants and programming languages based on type theories usually come in two flavours: one is based on the standard natural deduction presentation of type theory and involves eliminators, while the other provides a syntax in equational style. We show here that the equational approach corresponds to the use of a focused presentation of a type theory expressed as a sequent calculus. A typed functional language is presented, based on a sequent calculus, that we relate to the syntax and internal language of Agda. In particular, we discuss the use of patterns and case splittings, as well as rules implementing inductive reasoning and dependent products and sums.

Doping-Induced Ferromagnetism and Possible Triplet Pairing in d4 Mott Insulators

description: We study the effects of electron doping in Mott insulators containing d^4 ions such as Ru4+, Os4+, Rh5+, and Ir5+ with J=0 singlet ground state. Depending on the strength of the spin-orbit coupling, the undoped systems are either nonmagnetic or host an unusual, excitonic magnetism arising from a condensation of the excited J=1 triplet states of t_2g^4. We find that the interaction between J-excitons and doped carriers strongly supports ferromagnetism, converting both the nonmagnetic and antiferromagnetic phases of the parent insulator into a ferromagnetic metal, and further to a nonmagnetic metal. Close to the ferromagnetic phase, the low-energy spin response is dominated by intense paramagnon excitations that may act as mediators of a triplet pairing.

description: The relativistic mean field (RMF) model of the nuclear matter equation of state has been modified by including the effect of Pauli-blocking owing to quark exchange between the baryons. Different schemes of a chiral enhancement of the quark Pauli blocking have been suggested according to the adopted density dependence of the dynamical quark mass. The resulting equations of state for the pressure are compared to the RMF model DD2 with excluded volume correction. On the basis of this comparison a density-dependent nucleon volume is extracted which parametrises the quark Pauli blocking effect in the respective scheme of chiral enhancement. The dependence on the isospin asymmetry is investigated and the corresponding density dependent nuclear symmetry energy is obtained in fair accordance with phenomenological constraints. The deconfinement phase transition is obtained by a Maxwell construction with a quark matter phase described within a higher order NJL model. Solutions for rotating and nonrotating (hybrid) compact star sequences are obtained which show the effect of high-mass twin compact star solutions for the rotating case.

description: It is well known that quasi-isometric embeddings of Gromov hyperbolic spaces induce topological embeddings of their Gromov boundaries. A more general question is to detect classes of functions between Gromov hyperbolic spaces that induce continuous maps between their Gromov boundaries. In this paper we introduce the class of visual functions $f$ that do induce continuous maps $\tilde f$ between Gromov boundaries. Its subclass, the class of radial functions, induces Hoelder maps between Gromov boundaries. Conversely, every Hoelder map between Gromov boundaries of visual hyperbolic spaces induces a radial function. We study the relationship between large scale properties of f and small scale properties of $f$, especially related to the dimension theory. In particular, we prove a form of the dimension raising theorem. We give a natural example of a radial dimension raising map and we also give a general class of radial functions that raise asymptotic dimension.

It is shown that there exist two integrals of motion, which enable the system to be reduced to one non-linear ordinary differential equation. The study of its structure provides analytical criteria for the dominance ranges of the dynamics of Malthus and Kremer. Additionally, the particular ranges of parameters enable the derived general ordinary differential equations to be reduced to the models of Gompertz and Thoularis-Wallace.

description: The present work examines if judgements of other’s commitment to goals are influenced by three factors known to influence people’s own goal commitment (satisfaction, investments, and alternatives). In two studies, these three factors were manipulated, and it was found that people rate a target other as higher in goal commitment when satisfaction is high, investments are high, and goal alternatives are low. It was also found that satisfaction and investments alter perceptions of the other’s talents and abilities, and that this relationship is partially mediated by changes in perceived goal commitment. The present studies offer novel findings that highlight the information we use to judge other’s goal commitment and the consequences that incur when these judgments are formed.

description: A review work is done for electronic and optical properties of graphene nanoribbons in magnetic, electric, composite, and modulated fields. Effects due to the lateral confinement, curvature, stacking, non-uniform subsystems and hybrid structures are taken into account. The special electronic properties, induced by complex competitions between external fields and geometric structures, include many one-dimensional parabolic subbands, standing waves, peculiar edge-localized states, width- and field-dependent energy gaps, magnetic-quantized quasi-Landau levels, curvature-induced oscillating Landau subbands, crossings and anti-crossings of quasi-Landau levels, coexistence and combination of energy spectra in layered structures, and various peak structures in the density of states. There exist diverse absorption spectra and different selection rules, covering edge-dependent selection rules, magneto-optical selection rule, splitting of the Landau absorption peaks, intragroup and intergroup Landau transitions, as well as coexistence of monolayer-like and bilayer-like Landau absorption spectra. Detailed comparisons are made between the theoretical calculations and experimental measurements. The predicted results, the parabolic subbands, edge-localized states, gap opening and modulation, and spatial distribution of Landau subbands, have been verified by various experimental measurements.
Mutually unbiased bases with free parameters

description: We present a systematic method to introduce free parameters in sets of mutually unbiased bases. In particular, we demonstrate that any set of m real mutually unbiased bases in dimension N>2 admits the introduction of (m-1)N/2 free parameters which cannot be absorbed by a global unitary operation. As consequence, there are m=k+1 mutually unbiased bases in every dimension N=k^2 with k^3/2 free parameters, where k is even. We construct the maximal set of triplets of mutually unbiased bases for two-qubits systems and triplets, quadruplets and quintuplets of mutually unbiased bases with free parameters for three-qubits systems. Furthermore, we study the richness of the entanglement structure of such bases and we provide the quantum circuits required to implement all these bases with free parameters in the laboratory. Finally, we find the upper bound for the maximal number of real and complex mutually unbiased bases existing in every dimension. This proof is simple, short and it considers basic matrix algebra.

description: We address the study of gauge invariance in the Standard Model Extension which encompasses all Lorentz-violating terms originated by spontaneous symmetry breaking at the Planck scale. In particular, we fully evaluate Ward identities involving two and three point functions and derive the conditions which assure gauge invariance of the electromagnetic sector of the Standard Model Extension at one-loop. We show that momentum routing invariance is sufficient to fix arbitrary and regularization dependent parameters intrinsic to perturbation theory in the diagrams involved. A scheme which judiciously collects finite but undetermined quantum corrections is employed, a particularly subtle issue in the presence of $γ_5$ matrices.

Applying the general solution to some specific situation gives a particular solution corresponding to the expected theorem. We also establish an equivalence between a polynomial equation and a set of partial differential equations. We finally comment on a differential equation which arises after a small scale transformation and should concern all relations between metric quantities.

description: Double Neutron Stars (DNS) have to survive two supernovae and still remain bound. This sets strong limits on the nature of the second collapse in these systems. We consider the masses and orbital parameters of the DNS population and constrain the two distributions of mass ejection and kick velocities directly from observations with no a-priori assumptions regarding evolutionary models and/or the types of the supernovae involved. We show that there is strong evidence for two distinct types of supernovae in these systems, where the second collapse in the majority of the observed systems involved small mass ejection ($ΔM\lesssim 0.5M_{\odot}$) and a corresponding low-kick velocity ($v_{k}\lesssim 30 $km\,s$^{-1}$). This formation scenario is compatible, for example, with an electron capture supernova. Only a minority of the systems have formed via the standard SN scenario involving larger mass ejection of $\sim 2.2 M_{\odot}$ and kick velocities of up to $400$km\,s$^{-1}$. Due to the typically small kicks in most DNS (which are reflected by rather low proper motion), we predict that most of these systems reside close to the galactic disc. In particular, this implies that more NS-NS mergers occur close to the galactic plane. This may have non-trivial implications to the estimated merger rates of DNS and to the rate of LIGO / VIRGO detections.

description: The COVID-19 pandemic outbreak, with its related social distancing and shelter-in-place measures, has dramatically affected ways in which people communicate with each other, forcing people to find new ways to collaborate, study, celebrate special occasions, and meet with family and friends. One of the most popular solutions that have emerged is the use of video conferencing applications to replace face-to-face meetings with virtual meetings. This resulted in unprecedented growth in the number of video conferencing users. In this study, we explored privacy issues that may be at risk by attending virtual meetings. We extracted private information from collage images of meeting participants that are publicly posted on the Web. We used image processing, text recognition tools, as well as social network analysis to explore our web crawling curated dataset of over 15,700 collage images, and over 142,000 face images of meeting participants. We demonstrate that video conference users are facing prevalent security and privacy threats. Our results indicate that it is relatively easy to collect thousands of publicly available images of video conference meetings and extract personal information about the participants, including their face images, age, gender, usernames, and sometimes even full names. This type of extracted data can vastly and easily jeopardize people's security and privacy both in the online and real-world, affecting not only adults but also more vulnerable segments of society, such as young children and older adults. Finally, we show that cross-referencing facial image data with social network data may put participants at additional privacy risks they may not be aware of and that it is possible to identify users that appear in several video conference meetings, thus providing a potential to maliciously aggregate different sources of information about a target individual.

description: It has been recently suggested the existence of a neutral bound state of two neutrons and a $Λ$ hyperon, $^3_Λn$. We point out that using either simple separable potentials or a full-fledged calculation with realistic baryon-baryon interactions derived from the constituent quark cluster model there is no possibility for the existence of such a $Λnn$ bound state. For this purpose, we performed a full Faddeev calculation of the $Λnn$ system in the $(I,J^P)=(1,1/2^+)$ channel using the interactions derived from the constituent quark cluster model which describe well the two-body $NN$ and $NY$ data and the $Λnp$ hypertriton.

description: We show that for every rational number $r \in (1,2)$ of the form $2 - a/b$, where $a, b \in \mathbb{N}^+$ satisfy $\lfloor b/a \rfloor^3 \le a \le b / (\lfloor b/a \rfloor +1) + 1$, there exists a graph $F_r$ such that the Turán number $\operatorname{ex}(n, F_r) = Θ(n^r)$. Our result in particular generates infinitely many new Turán exponents. As a byproduct, we formulate a framework that is taking shape in recent work on the Bukh--Conlon conjecture.

description: This study elucidated the experiences of eighteen Latina adults (mean age = 38.5 years) from “Promoviendo una Alimentación Saludable” Project who received nutritional intervention as part of the clinical trial. Half of the participants were first generation immigrants from Mexico (50%), followed by U.S. born with 16.7%. Remaining nationalities represented were Bolivia, Colombia, Guatemala, Honduras, Peru, and Venezuela with 33.3% combined. The average duration of living in the U.S. was 11.1 years. The mean body mass index (BMI) at baseline was 36.59 kg/m2 (SD=7.72). Based on the DSM-IV, 28% (n=5) participants were diagnosed with binge-eating disorder, 33% (n=6) with bulimia nervosa purging type and 39% (n=7) with eating disorder not otherwise specified. Participants received up to three nutritional sessions; a bilingual dietitian conducted 97.8% of sessions in Spanish. In total, fifty nutritional sessions were included in the qualitative analysis. A three step qualitative analysis was conducted. First, a bilingual research team documented each topic discussed by patients and all interventions conducted by the dietitian. Second, all topics were classified into specific categories and the frequency was documented. Third, a consensus with the dietitian was performed to validate the categories identified by the research team. Six categories (describing eating patterns, emotional distress, Latino culture values, family conflicts associated with disturbed eating behaviors, lack of knowledge of healthy eating, and treatment progress) emerged from patients across all nutritional sessions. Considering the background of immigration and trauma (60%, n=15) in this sample; the appropriate steps of nutritional intervention appear to be: 1) elucidating the connection between food and emotional distress, 2) providing psychoeducation of healthy eating patterns using the plate method, and 3) developing a meal plan.
Quark-Novae occurring in massive binaries : A universal energy source in superluminous Supernovae with double-peaked light curves

description: A Quark-Nova (QN, the sudden transition from a neutron star into a quark star) which occurs in the second common envelope (CE) phase of a massive binary (Ouyed et al., 2015a&b), gives excellent fits to super-luminous, hydrogen-poor, Supernovae (SLSNe) with double-peaked light curves including DES13S2cmm, SN 2006oz and LSQ14bdq (http://www.quarknova.ca/LCGallery.html). In our model, the H envelope of the less massive companion is ejected during the first CE phase while the QN occurs deep inside the second, He-rich, CE phase after the CE has expanded in size to a radius of a few tens to a few thousands solar radii, this yields the first peak in our model. The ensuing merging of the quark star with the CO core leads to black hole formation and accretion explaining the second long-lasting peak. We study a sample of 8 SLSNe Ic with double-humped light-curves. Our model provides good fits to all of these with a universal explosive energy of 2x10^52 erg (which is the kinetic energy of the QN ejecta) for the first hump. The late-time emissions seen in iPTF13ehe and LSQ14bdq are fit with a shock interaction between the outgoing He-rich (i.e second) CE and the previously ejected H-rich (i.e first) CE.

title: Engineering Faculty Perceptions on Student-Use of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) in Course Completion
Creators: name: Harper, Michaela
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2024

description: Computer science and engineering faculty often argue whether students should be allowed to use GAI tools, such as ChatGPT, or banned from using them for fear of decreasing learning and workforce quality. This research gathers and reports engineering and computer science faculty members’ perceptions, opinions, and recommendations for GAI use in higher education. Faculty members agree that these technologies are here to stay and must be understood to address GAI in college and university courses. However, their willingness to implement GAI into their courses varied based on prior experience in industry and with the technology itself. Those with very limited experience described themselves as lacking a necessary understanding of the technology and described a need for training and education to make an informed decision on how to approach GAI use in their courses. Understanding faculty perspectives of students’ GAI use in the classroom contributes to initial conversations regarding the role of these new, disruptive technologies and how they can be ethically integrated both inside and outside the classroom.
Coherent organization in gene regulation: a study on six networks

description: Structural and dynamical fingerprints of evolutionary optimization in biological networks are still unclear. We here analyze the dynamics of genetic regulatory networks responsible for the regulation of cell cycle and cell differentiation in three organisms or cell types each, and show that they obey a version of Hebb's rule which we term as coherence. More precisely, we find that simultaneously expressed genes with a common target are less likely to conflict at the attractors of the regulatory dynamics. We then investigate the dependence of coherence on structural parameters, such as the mean number of inputs per node and the activatory/repressory interaction ratio, as well as on dynamically determined quantities, such as the basin size and the number of expressed genes.

description: The stepped wedge cluster randomised trial is an increasingly common trial design. The design can be useful to inform real-world clinical decision-making, including decisions about the effectiveness of interventions in particular subgroups. However, there is little existing guidance about how to perform subgroup analyses in the stepped wedge design. We aim to determine the prevalence of subgroup analyses and describe statistical methods used to perform them in stepped wedge cluster randomised trials

description: Sertifikasi halal memiliki peran penting dalam menjamin kehalalan produk, khususnya bagi umat Muslim. Sebagai negara dengan mayoritas penduduk Muslim terbesar, Indonesia memiliki potensi besar untuk menarik wisatawan Muslim dan non-Muslim, khususnya dalam sektor kuliner halal. Selain itu, Pemerintah Indonesia telah mendukung sertifikasi halal melalui Undang-undang Nomor 33 Tahun 2014 tentang Jaminan Produk Halal, serta memfasilitasi program sertifikasi halal gratis, SEHATI, khusus bagi UMK. Selanjutnya, kegiatan sosialisasi serta pendampingan UMK dalam pendaftaran sertifikasi halal gratis oleh mahasiswa Kukerta Universitas Riau dilakukan sebagai bentuk Pengabdian kepada masyarakat di Kelurahan Batu Teritip. Berdasarkan observasi dan wawancara, ditemukan bahwa mayoritas UMK di kelurahan ini belum bersertifikasi halal pada produknya. Adapun sebanyak 25 pelaku UMK bersedia berpartisipasi dalam proses sertifikasi halal. Pelaksanaan program ini mencakup observasi, wawancara, sosialisasi, serta pendampingan teknis dalam pendaftaran sertifikasi halal melalui skema self-declare, dengan hasil yang menunjukkan respons positif dari pelaku usaha di Kelurahan Batu Teritip.
