description: Recent studies incorporate Nesterov's accelerated gradient method for the acceleration of gradient based training. The Nesterov's Accelerated Quasi-Newton (NAQ) method has shown to drastically improve the convergence speed compared to the conventional quasi-Newton method. This paper implements NAQ for non-convex optimization on Tensorflow. Two modifications have been proposed to the original NAQ algorithm to ensure global convergence and eliminate linesearch. The performance of the proposed algorithm - mNAQ is evaluated on standard non-convex function approximation benchmark problems and microwave circuit modelling problems. The results show that the improved algorithm converges better and faster compared to first order optimizers such as AdaGrad, RMSProp, Adam, and the second order methods such as the quasi-Newton method.

description: We study spatially flat isotropic universes driven by k-essence. It is shown that Friedmann and k-field equations may be analytically integrated for arbitrary k-field potentials during evolution with a constant baryotropic index. It follows that there is an infinite number of dynamically different k-theories with equivalent kinematics of the gravitational field. We show that there is a large "window" of stable solutions, and that the dust-like behaviour separates stable from unstable expansion. Restricting to the family of power law solutions, it is argued that the linear scalar field model, with constant function F, is isomorphic to a model with divergent speed of sound and this makes them less suitable for cosmological modeling than the non-linear k-field solutions we find in this paper.
description: Revised version. A detailed discussion relating the power-law solutions with the linear K-essence field and inverse square potential, on one hand, and the models with divergent sound volocity, on the other, is added

description: A global heat flux model based on a fractional derivative of plasma pressure is proposed for the heat transport in fusion plasmas. The degree of the fractional derivative of the heat flux, $α$, is defined through the power balance analysis of the steady state. The model was used to obtain the experimental values of $α$ for a large database of the JET Carbon-wall as well as ITER Like-wall plasmas. The findings show that the average fractional degree of the heat flux over the database for electrons is $α\sim 0.8$, suggesting a global scaling between the net heating and the pressure profile in the JET plasmas. The model is expected to provide an accurate and a simple description of heat transport that can be used in transport studies of fusion plasmas.

description: A numerical method of high precision is used to calculate the energy eigenvalues and eigenfunctions for a symmetric double-well potential. The method is based on enclosing the system within two infinite walls with a large but finite separation and developing a power series solution for the Schr$\ddot{o}$dinger equation. The obtained numerical results are compared with those obtained on the basis of the Zinn-Justin conjecture and found to be in an excellent agreement.

description: There is limited data regarding pediatric mixed phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL) and there is no global consensus on its management yet. In this retrospective study, we analyzed the outcomes of children diagnosed with MPAL at our institute. This study included children ≤ 14 years with MPAL who presented to a tertiary cancer center in India from January 1st 2009 to December 31st 2015. Over a seven-year period, 1390 patients with leukemia presented to our institute of which 22 patients (1.5%) had MPAL. Sixteen patients (72.7%) had B/myeloid leukemia, while 4 (18.1%) and 2 (9%) patients had T/myeloid and B/T leukemia respectively. Twenty-one patients were treated with a modified BFM ALL 95 protocol. 76.1% (n = 16) of patients had a good prednisolone response (GPR) on day 8 and end-of-induction (EOI) marrow was in remission in 90.5% (n = 19). A poor prednisolone response (PPR) on day 8 correlated with an inferior relapse-free survival (25% vs 79.5%, P=.025). The 4-year event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS) for the entire group was 60.8% and 64.9% respectively while the EFS for patients who had a GPR and remission at the EOI (n = 15) was 80% as compared to 16.7% in patients with PPR or induction failure. Lymphoid directed chemotherapy is seen to have good survival outcomes in pediatric MPAL. However, a PPR on day 8 or a positive EOI marrow may be an indication for more aggressive treatment.

description: In this study, we aimed to synthesize copper oxide nanoparticles (CuONPs) mediated by plant extract in an environmentally friendly way and to reveal their potential biological activities. Here we synthesized CuONPs by using different concentrations of aqueous leaf extract of Thymbra spicata at 80 °C to obtain Ts1CuONPs and Ts2CuONPs. Biosynthesized nanoparticles were characterized by using UV-Vis, AFM, FTIR, SEM-EDS, TEM, DLS and zeta potential analysis. The antibacterial activity of the nanoparticles was determined by calculation of the inhibition zone and minimum inhibitory concentration against selected bacterial strains. Moreover, the antioxidant activity of the as-synthesized nanoparticles was evaluated based on DPPH radical scavenging activity. The results indicate that the as-synthesized NPs have an average size of 26.8 and 21 nm for Ts1CuONPs and Ts2CuONPs, respectively. The formed CuONPs have more antibacterial action on gram-positive bacteria compared to gram-negative bacteria. In addition, CuONPs demonstrated good inhibition activity against biofilm formation of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). Furthermore, the results showed that the smaller size of the CuONPs caused the higher cytotoxicity on L929 mouse fibroblast cells. The as-synthesized CuONPs exhibit antibacterial and antibiofilm potential against S. aureus, indicating that they may be attractive candidates to use in future therapeutic applications.
Investigating surface topography effects on directional emissivity of metallic additively manufactured parts

description: Researchers are focusing on qualification methods and simulations to gain a better understanding of metal powder bed additive manufacturing (AM) processes. Because of the direct relationship between thermal history and mechanical behavior, in-situ thermal monitoring is key in gauging the quality of both the process and produced parts. To accurately monitor the temperatures of an AM process, key environment and object parameters need to be known, most importantly, object emissivity. The emissivity of an object is dependent on several variables, including: wavelength of light, material composition, temperature, and surface topography. Most have been concerned with the thermal emissivity dependence on temperature since large temperature ranges are seen in metal powder bed processes, but there is also an extensive range of surfaces produced by AM. This work will focus on discovering what surface characteristics control directional thermal emissivity. In addition to defining the surface characteristics, in build conditions will be simulated while conducting thermal measurements of AM parts to quantify errors that result from incorrect emissivity assumptions. Lastly, a method for determining the surface topography in-situ to allow for layerwise correction of emissivity will be implemented in an additive machine

description: Abstract

 

The quality of canteen services significantly affects students’ overall school experience, including their social interactions, health, and academic performance. However, many school canteens face challenges related to food quality, pricing, hygiene, and service efficiency, leading to dissatisfaction among students. This study aims to assess the current state of canteen services in a private school in Davao City, Philippines, identifying key areas for improvement. A quantitative research design was employed, utilizing surveys distributed to students to evaluate their level of satisfaction and identify specific concerns regarding food quality, service speed, and overall dining experience. The findings indicate that while students appreciate affordability, issues such as long waiting times, inconsistent food quality, and limited menu options affect their satisfaction. The study concludes that improving food variety, ensuring consistent quality, and enhancing service efficiency will lead to greater student satisfaction. Addressing these concerns will require better resource management, staff training, and adherence to food safety standards. It is recommended that the school administration implement a feedback mechanism to regularly assess and address student concerns, ensuring continuous improvement in canteen services.

Keywords: Canteen services, student satisfaction, food quality, service efficiency, school dining experience.

description: We calculate electromagnetic properties of the decuplet baryons in quenched and partially quenched chiral perturbation theory. We work at next-to-leading order in the chiral expansion, leading order in the heavy baryon expansion, and obtain expressions for the magnetic moments, charge radii, and electric quadrupole moments. The quenched calculation is shown to be pathological since only quenched chiral singularities are present at this order. We present the partially quenched results for both the SU(2) and SU(3) flavor groups and use the isospin limit in the latter. These results are necessary for proper extrapolation of lattice calculations of decuplet electromagnetic properties.

description: Global urbanization has started to affect rural environments and as a result, agriculture has been reduced. A solution to this problem, has been advised to be, the development of urban agriculture techniques. Thus, the Sino-European Innovative Green and Smart Cities (SiEUGreen) project was created. According to the project, urban farming will create many social and economic opportunities that will be beneficial to be investigated and analyzed. Due to that fact, a consortium of nineteen European and Chinese partners were brought together in order to decide on how the project will be put to practice. One of the main tasks is the efficient communication between the partners and the dissemination of the project by using different methods and tools. This report was created as a part of the Work Package 6 – Communication and Dissemination, Deliverable 6.3: Promotional Material. For the purpose of promoting the project in the most efficient way, different methods were used and presented. All possible ways of successfully promoting the project can be considered, including some more traditional ones such as press releases, use of leaflets and posters, as well as some other, like YouTube videos. These methods, along with the tools that have been used are being analysed in the following chapters.

description: Peculiar-velocity surveys of the low-redshift universe have significant leverage to constrain the growth rate of cosmic structure and test gravity. Wide-field imaging surveys combined with multi-object spectrographs (e.g. ZTF2, LSST, DESI, 4MOST) can use Type Ia supernovae as informative tracers of the velocity field, reaching few percent constraints on the growth rate $fσ_8$ at $z\lesssim0.2$ where density tracers cannot do better than $\sim10\%$. Combining the high-redshift DESI survey mapping redshift space distortions with a low-redshift supernova peculiar velocity survey using LSST and DESI can determine the gravitational growth index to $σ(γ)\approx0.02$, testing general relativity. We study the characteristics needed for the peculiar velocity survey, and how its complementarity with clustering surveys improves when going from a $Λ$CDM model assumption to a $w_0$-$w_a$ cosmology.

description: We present a new method of bosonization of fermion systems applicable when the partition function is dominated by composite bosons. Restricting the partition function to such states we get an euclidean bosonic action from which we derive the Hamiltonian. Such a procedure respects all the fermion symmetries, in particular fermion number conservation, and provides a boson mapping of all fermion operators.

description: This paper evaluates Indiana’s economy by using an input-output (I-O) model to decompose output growth of two sectors into regional demand, external demand, the progress of import substitutions, and technological change. We use the Syrquin (1976, 1986, 1988) industry decomposition method to perform this analysis. We examine two industries that have been central to state level economic development policy: logistics and manufacturing of life sciences products. We found that the logistics sector has responded slowly during the post-recession growth experienced by many of the remaining sectors. However, the surgical sector performed well in terms of deepening interindustry linkages.
Supersymmetry, the Cosmological Constant and a Theory of Quantum Gravity in Our Universe

description: There are many theories of quantum gravity, depending on asymptotic boundary conditions, and the amount of supersymmetry. The cosmological constant is one of the fundamental parameters that characterize different theories. If it is positive, supersymmetry must be broken. A heuristic calculation shows that a cosmological constant of the observed size predicts superpartners in the TeV range. This mechanism for SUSY breaking also puts important constraints on low energy particle physics models. This essay was submitted to the Gravity Research Foundation Competition and is based on a longer article, which will be submitted in the near future.

description: A challenge in analyzing the spillover impact of sheriff’s sales on neighboring properties is the recognition that housing markets are segmented. In this fashion, the large heterogeneous market of housing is broken down into small, more homogeneous segments, and buyers emerge that match their wants and needs with the product offered by the marketplace. It is clear that comparing the impact of sheriff’s sales of single-family homes to condominium prices ignores the idea of segmented markets. As a result, it is valuable to break down these markets by sector. By using a unique dataset on property sales, sheriff’s sales, and foreclosures for the City of Milwaukee from October 2005 to September 2009, we confirm that a single-family condominium foreclosure has a negative and significant impact on the sale of surrounding condominium units. The estimated impact decays with distance from the sheriff’s sale property and the length of time separating the two transactions, the most significant impact being a loss of 24% - 28% when the two units are sold within thirty days of one another and within the same building.

In the large-bandwidth limit and for ferromagnetic exchange with easy-plane anisotropy, a phase with gapless charge and massive spin excitations, characterized by the coexistence of triplet superconducting and spin density wave instabilities is realized in the ground state. With reduction of the bandwidth, a transition into an insulating phase showing properties of the spin-1/2 XY model takes place.

description: This article concerns the development of the Vector Field Orientation - Active Disturbance Rejection (VFO-ADR) cascaded path-following controller for underactuated vehicles moving in a 3-dimensional space. The proposed concept of a cascaded control structure decouples system kinematics from system dynamics, resembling the approach utilized for nonholonomic systems. Thanks to the use of an ADR control approach in the dynamic-level controller, the proposed control structure is robust to even significant model uncertainties and external disturbances. Application of an error-based form of the Extended State Observer (ESO), implemented within the ADR inner-loop controller, implies the output-feedback characteristic of the control structure, i.e., only position and attitude of the vehicle body are expected to be measured. The kinematic-level controller is designed according to the VFO method utilizing the non-parametrized path representation to calculate the commanded velocities. The description of the proposed control structure is followed by the theoretical analysis utilizing the Input-to-State Stability (ISS) theorem and the simulation verification of the proposed solution.

description: This study was conducted with the aim to assess the clinico-pathological profile, treatment outcomes and the challenges faced in Low Middle Income Countries (LMIC) during management of pediatric Burkitt lymphoma cases on intensive chemotherapy protocol. This was a single center retrospective analysis of pediatric Burkitt lymphoma cases (age <18 years) managed uniformly with Lymphomes Malins B (LMB) 96 chemotherapy protocol between January 2015 and September 2019. 40 cases were analyzed with a median age 11.5 years (range 4–18 years) and male: female ratio =4.7:1. Patients belonging to different LMB risk groups were: A-3 (7.5%), B-31 (77.5%), and C-06 (15%). 25 (62.5%) patients had abdominal disease at presentation. The survival analysis of different treatment risk groups showed statistically significant difference in mean Overall Survival (OS) between group A-100%, group B- 87%±6.1% and group C-44.4%±16.2%; (p value = .016). On multivariate analysis of prognostic factors affecting survival, CNS involvement (p value = .03) and median time from diagnosis to treatment initiation more than 30 days (p value = .04) were significantly associated with poor outcome. Incidence of culture positive febrile neutropenia episodes was 28.2% of which 69.2% infections were caused due to carbapenem resistant gram-negative organisms. In our study, although the outcomes in risk group A and B patients were comparable to LMB 96 treatment results, the outcome in risk group C was considerably poor primarily due to advanced disease at presentation and delayed diagnosis. The critical challenges that we faced in our cohort were delayed diagnosis, treatment cost affordability, poor nutritional status, and high infection related mortality.

description: The causality Granger test was used to assess the causal links between the prices of milk In selected European Union countries. The Granger test is based on the vector auto regression models - VAR. The conducted research allowed identifying causal relationships between the prices of milk in the following countries: Poland, Germany, France, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia. The research shows that milk prices in Poland depend on the prices in France, Germany, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, while milk prices in Slovakia are dependent on milk prices in Poland.

description: We consider the transverse-momentum (q_T) distribution of Higgs bosons produced at hadron colliders. We use a formalism that uniformly treats both the small-q_T and large-q_T regions in QCD perturbation theory. At small q_T (q_T << M_H, M_H being the mass of the Higgs boson), we implement an all-order resummation of logarithmically-enhanced contributions up to next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy. At large q_T (q_T \gtap M_H), we use fixed-order perturbation theory up to next-to-leading order. The resummed and fixed-order approaches are consistently matched by avoiding double-counting in the intermediate-q_T region. In this region, the introduction of unjustified higher-order terms is avoided by imposing unitarity constraints, so that the integral of the q_T spectrum exactly reproduces the perturbative result for the total cross section up to next-to-next-to-leading order. Numerical results at the LHC are presented. These show that the main features of the q_T distribution are quite stable with respect to perturbative QCD uncertainties.

Balancing physical modeling and musical requirements: Algorithmically simulating the calls of Hyalessa maculaticollis for real-time instrumental control

description: This paper presents an algorithm that simulates the calls of the Hyalessa maculaticollis cicada for musical use. Written in SuperCollider, its input parameters enable real-time control of the insect call phase, loudness, and perceived musical pitch. To this end, the anatomical mechanics of the tymbal muscles, tymbal apodeme, tymbal ribs, tymbal plate, abdominal air sac, tympana, and opercula are physically modeled. This also includes decoherence, following the hypothesis that it, in H. maculaticollis, might explain the change in timbre apparent during the final phase of a call sequence.
 Overall, the algorithm seems to illustrate three main points regarding the trade-offs encountered when modeling bioacoustics for tonal use: that it may be necessary to prioritize musical requirements over realistic physical modeling at many stages of design and implementation; that the resulting adjustments may revolve around having physical modeling perceptually yield sonic events that are well-pitched, single-attack, single-source, and timbrally expressive; that the pitch-adjusted simulation of resonating bodies may fail musically precisely when it succeeds physically, by inducing the perception of different sound sources for different pitches. Audio examples are included, and the source code is structured and documented so as to support the further development of cicada bioacoustics for musical use.

Comparison of Temperature-Dependent Hadronic Current Correlation Functions Calculated in Lattice Simulations of QCD and with a Chiral Lagrangian Model

description: The Euclidean-time hadronic current correlation functions, $G_P(τ, T)$ and $G_V(τ, T)$, of pseudoscalar and vector currents have recently been calculated in lattice simulations of QCD and have been used to obtain the corresponding spectral functions. We have used the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model to calculate such spectral functions, as well as the Euclidean-time correlators, and have made a comparison to the lattice results for the correlators. We find evidence for the type of temperature dependence of the NJL coupling parameters that we have used in previous studies of the mesonic confinement-deconfinement transition. We also see that the spectral functions obtained when using the maximum-entropy-method (MEM) and the lattice data differ from the spectral functions that we calculate in our chiral model. However, our results for the Euclidean-time correlators are in general agreement with the lattice results, with better agreement when our temperature-dependent coupling parameters are used than when temperature-independent parameters are used for the NJL model. We also discuss some additional evidence for the utility of temperature-dependent coupling parameters for the NJL model. For example, if the constituent quark mass at T=0 is $352 {MeV}$ in the chiral limit, the transition temperature is $T_c=208 {MeV}$ for the NJL model with a standard momentum cutoff parameter. (If a Gaussian momentum cutoff is used, we find $T_c=225 {MeV}$ in the chiral limit, with $m=368 {MeV}$ at T=0.) The introduction of a weak temperature dependence for the coupling constant will move the value of $T_c$ into the range 150-170 MeV, which is more in accord with what is found in lattice simulations of QCD with dynamical quarks.

description: WASP-12b is a transiting hot Jupiter on a 1.09-day orbit around a late-F star. Since the planet's discovery in 2008, the time interval between transits has been decreasing by $29\pm 2$ msec year$^{-1}$. This is a possible sign of orbital decay, although the previously available data left open the possibility that the planet's orbit is slightly eccentric and is undergoing apsidal precession. Here, we present new transit and occultation observations that provide more decisive evidence for orbital decay, which is favored over apsidal precession by a $Δ\mathrm{BIC}$ of 22.3 or Bayes factor of 70,000. We also present new radial-velocity data that rule out the Rømer effect as the cause of the period change. This makes WASP-12 the first planetary system for which we can be confident that the orbit is decaying. The decay timescale for the orbit is $P/\dot{P} = 3.25\pm 0.23$ Myr. Interpreting the decay as the result of tidal dissipation, the modified stellar tidal quality factor is $Q'_\star = 1.8 \times10^{5}$.
