description: Background: Autosomal dominant congenital mirror movements (CMM) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by early onset involuntary movements of one side of the body that mirror intentional movements on the contralateral side; these persist throughout life in the absence of other neurological symptoms. The main culprit genes responsible for this condition are RAD51 and DCC. This condition has only been reported in a few families, and the molecular mechanisms linking RAD51 mutations and mirror movements (MM) are poorly understood.

Methods: We collected demographic, clinical, and genetic data of a new family with CMM due to a truncating mutation of RAD51. We reviewed the literature to identify all reported patients with CMM due to RAD51 mutations.

Results: We identified a heterozygous nonsense mutation c.760C>T (p.Arg254∗) in eight subjects: four with obvious and disabling MM, and four with a mild phenotype. Including our new family, we identified 32 patients from 6 families with CMM linked to RAD51 variants.

Discussion: Our findings further support the involvement of RAD51 in CMM pathogenesis. Possible molecular mechanisms involved in CMM pathogenesis are discussed.

description: Zak phase, i.e. the Berry phase acquired during an adiabatic motion of a Bloch particle across the Brillouin zone, provides a measure of the topological invariant of Bloch bands in one-dimensional crystalline potentials. Here a photonic structure, based on engineered lattices of evanescently-coupled optical waveguides, is proposed to detect Zak phase difference of photons undergoing Bloch oscillations in topologically distinct Bloch bands of dimerized superlattices.

description: Background: Hashimoto’s encephalopathy often presents with neuropsychiatric manifestations including seizures and movement disorders.

Case Report: We describe a patient who presented with bilateral hand tremor and mild cognitive defects that fulfilled the criteria for a diagnosis of Hashimoto’s encephalopathy. There was a rapid response to glucocorticoid therapy with relapse following treatment withdrawal.

Discussion: Recently published clinical criteria for the diagnosis of Hashimoto’s encephalopathy include seizures, myoclonus, hallucinations, or stroke-like episodes but do not include tremor. Our case had mild cognitive dysfunction and a coarse tremor as the predominant clinical features, which probably represent mild disease.

description: We prove that the seasonally-forced SIR model with a T-periodic forcing has a periodic solution with period T whenever the basic reproductive number R0>1. The proof uses the Leray-Schauder degree theory. We also describe some numerical results in which we compute the T-periodic solution, where in order to obtain the T-periodic solution when the behavior of the system is subharmonic or chaotic, we use a Galerkin scheme.

description: Background: We aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of botulinum toxin (BT) injections for jerky action tremor of the upper limb.

Methods: We performed an uncontrolled, prospective study of electromyography (EMG)-guided BT injections for jerky, position-specific, upper limb action tremor. The primary outcome was clinical global impression at 3–6 weeks after baseline.

Results: Eight patients with jerky, position-specific action tremor involving the upper limb were consecutively recruited. After a median follow-up of 4.4 weeks (interquartile range [IQR] 3.6–6 weeks), four of them rated themselves as “improved” and two as “much improved.” Five of these six subjects reported improvements in specific activities of daily living (bringing liquids to mouth, feeding, shaving, and dressing). Upper limb subscore of the Fahn–Tolosa–Marin Tremor Rating Scale (FTM) significantly decreased from 4.5 (4–6) to 3 (2–5) (p = 0.01).

Discussion: This pilot, prospective cohort study suggests that EMG-guided BT injections may improve jerky, position-specific, upper limb action tremor. Placebo-controlled studies evaluating larger samples of patients are warranted to confirm these findings.

description: Grain growth in protoplanetary disks is the first step towards the formation of the rocky cores of planets. Models predict that grains grow, migrate, and fragment in the disk and predict varying dust properties as a function of radius, age, and physical properties. High-angular resolution observations at more than one (sub-)mm wavelength are the essential tool for constraining grain growth and migration on the disk midplane. We developed a procedure to analyze self-consistently multi wavelength (sub-)mm continuum interferometric observations of protoplanetary disks to constrain the radial distribution of dust properties. We apply this technique to existing multi frequency continuum mm observations of the disk around CQ Tau, a A8 pre-main sequence star with a well-studied disk. We demonstrate that our models can be used to simultaneously constrain the disk and dust structure. In CQ Tau, the best-fitting model has a radial dependence of the maximum grain size, which decreases from a few cm in the inner disk (<40 AU) to a few mm at 80 AU. Nevertheless, the currently available dataset does not allow us to exclude the possibility of a uniform grain size distribution at a 3sigma level.

description: Background: Orthostatic tremor (OT) remains among the most intriguing and poorly understood of movement disorders. Compared to Parkinson’s disease or even essential tremor, there are very few articles addressing more basic science issues. In this review, we will discuss the findings of main case series on OT, including data on etiology, pathophysiology, diagnostic approach, treatment strategies, and outcome.

Methods: Data for this review were identified by searching PUBMED (January 1966 to August 2016) for the terms “orthostatic tremor” or “shaky leg syndrome,” which yielded 219 entries. We did not exclude papers on the basis of language, country, or publication date. The electronic database searches were supplemented by articles in the authors’ files that pertained to this topic.

Results: Owing to its rarity, the current understanding of OT is limited and is mostly based on small case series or case reports. Despite this, a growing body of evidence indicates that OT might be a progressive condition that is clinically heterogeneous (primary vs. secondary cases) with a broader spectrum of clinical features, mainly cerebellar signs, and possible cognitive impairment and personality disturbances. Along with this, advanced neuroimaging techniques are now demonstrating distinct anatomical and functional changes, some of which are consistent with neuronal loss.

Discussion: OT might be a family of diseases, unified by the presence of leg tremor, but further characterized by etiological and clinical heterogeneity. More work is needed to understand the pathogenesis of this condition.
Stratified Domain Adaptation: A Progressive Self-Training Approach for Scene Text Recognition

description: Unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) has become increasingly prevalent in scene text recognition (STR), especially where training and testing data reside in different domains. The efficacy of existing UDA approaches tends to degrade when there is a large gap between the source and target domains. To deal with this problem, gradually shifting or progressively learning to shift from domain to domain is the key issue. In this paper, we introduce the Stratified Domain Adaptation (StrDA) approach, which examines the gradual escalation of the domain gap for the learning process. The objective is to partition the training data into subsets so that the progressively self-trained model can adapt to gradual changes. We stratify the training data by evaluating the proximity of each data sample to both the source and target domains. We propose a novel method for employing domain discriminators to estimate the out-of-distribution and domain discriminative levels of data samples. Extensive experiments on benchmark scene-text datasets show that our approach significantly improves the performance of baseline (source-trained) STR models.

Characterizing financial crisis by means of the three states random field Ising model

Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Trading and Market Microstructure (q-fin.TR)

description: We propose a formula of time-series prediction by means of three states random field Ising model (RFIM). At the economic crisis due to disasters or international disputes, the stock price suddenly drops. The macroscopic phenomena should be explained from the corresponding microscopic view point because there are existing a huge number of active traders behind the crushes. Hence, here we attempt to model the artificial financial market in which each trader $i$ can choose his/her decision among `buying', `selling' or `staying (taking a wait-and-see attitude)', each of which corresponds to a realization of the three state Ising spin, namely, $S_{i}=+1$, -1 and $S_{i}=0$, respectively. The decision making of traders is given by the Gibbs-Boltzmann distribution with the energy function. The energy function contains three distinct terms, namely, the ferromagnetic two-body interaction term (endogenous information), random field term as external information (exogenous news), and chemical potential term which controls the number of traders who are watching the market calmly at the instance. We specify the details of the model system from the past financial market data to determine the conjugate hyper-parameters and draw each parameter flow as a function of time-step. Especially we will examine to what extent one can characterize the crisis by means of a brand-new order parameter --- `turnover' --- which is defined as the number of active traders who post their decisions $S_{i}=1,-1$, instead of $S_{i}=0$.

description: The maggio epico, also called maggio drammatico to distinguish it from maggi lirici (springtime festival songs), has recently been shown to have antecedents dating back to the Renaissance, but the current tradition is documented in the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines from the late 1700s. This form of folk opera, generally performed in a natural outdoor setting on summer Sunday afternoons, consists in singers dramatizing stories that are often directly adapted from or inspired by medieval and Renaissance chivalric romance. In this way we might contend that canonical texts composed for the Estense court of Ferrara or the urban elite of Florence – which in turn refashioned subject matter originating largely in France – virtually “conquered” remote Apenninic villages by periodically transforming members of its rural population into chivalric knights sporting swords, shields and fancy feathered helmets recalling images from illustrated volumes. Indeed, as Romolo Fioroni has remarked, «nessuno di noi, evidentemente, può oggi capire un maggio [...] senza la cavalleria, perché l’anima del poema cavalleresco è così profondamente penetrata nel cuore e nella fantasia del popolo da contaminare ogni argomento e fonte». It is no less true, however, as this essay will argue, that very different ideologies can be expressed under the umbrella of cavalleria and that through the process of adaptation the maggio authors and companies have reshaped the stories to reflect their own particular Weltanschauung. Using as a working hypothesis the principle asserted by Walter J. Ong and others that «oral traditions reflect a society’s present cultural values rather than idle curiosity about the past», this essay compares two prominent maggio companies from the same Apenninic village in an attempt to uncover how each company’s performances are tied to the expression of its core principles. Of special interest to me is the depiction of the designated enemy, which brings to the fore questions about group identity, whether local, national, ethnic, social or religious.

description: Creep rupture of heterogeneous materials occurring under constant sub-critical external loads is responsible for the collapse of engineering constructions and for natural catastrophes. Acoustic monitoring of crackling bursts provides microscopic insight into the failure process. Based on a fiber bundle model, we show that the accelerating bursting activity when approaching failure can be described by the Omori law. For long range load redistribution the time series of bursts proved to be a non-homogeneous Poissonian process with power law distributed burst sizes and waiting times. We demonstrate that limitations of experiments such as finite detection threshold and time resolution have striking effects on the characteristic exponents, which have to be taken into account when comparing model calculations with experiments. Recording events solely within the Omori time to failure the size distribution of bursts has a crossover to a lower exponent which is promising for forecasting the imminent catastrophic failure.

Creators: name: Simpson, David

description: In a case study setting at a U.S. public pension plan, espousing a constructivist orientation, I conduct mixed method research comprised of action-oriented techniques informed by interviews and surveys, with a goal of advancing a software vendor selection process (that ultimately failed). I explore two central questions related to change management: i) what is the change that people are seeking, and ii) what obstacles are impeding that change. Informed by an extensive and iterative literature search on relevant topics, I conducted insider action-oriented research as a member of the self-selected, crossdepartmental team formed to guide the KMS implementation in the organization. I highlight four sequential cycles of action, which comprise the meta-cycle of the KMS vendor selection process. Integrated into the action-oriented research was corroborating empirical research which took the form of document review and observations. The participative reflective process identified four failure factors that included i) team member constitution and engagement, ii) technical and project management skill sets, iii) the application testing environment and process, and iv) project scope. These findings led to six recommendations: i) an assessment of business needs, ii) integration within a larger technological vision, iii) technical requirements development, iv) a mapping of the vendor landscape with a costbenefit analysis, v) leveraging consultants for vendor assessment and legal negotiations, and vi) bringing aboard project management expertise. While this actionable knowledge was not successfully transferred to the organization, the interactions generated additional insights into and opportunities for further research on public sector senior management decision-making rationale that seeks to avoid bureaucracy and public scrutiny. The paper ends with my reflections on changes to the organization and my development as a scholar/practitioner.

More specifically, the thesis explores the legal framework for competition law in Greece and the EU, with reference to Greek Law 3959/2011 and EU treaties, legal foundations of ne bis in idem, analyzing international conventions (e.g., ECHR, Article 4 of Protocol 7), EU law (e.g., Article 50 of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights), and Greek criminal procedural law, conditions for the principle’s application, including the criminal nature of penalties, identity of offense, and finality of decisions, drawing from ECHR and CJEU case law and challenges with cumulative sanctions from multiple regulatory bodies in Greece (e.g., Competition Authority, RAEWW, EETT) and their treatment in relevant case law

description: Two-dimensional crystals are emerging materials for nanoelectronics. Development of the field requires candidate systems with both a high carrier mobility and, in contrast to graphene, a sufficiently large electronic bandgap. Here we present a detailed theoretical investigation of the atomic and electronic structure of few-layer black phosphorus (BP) in order to predict its electrical and optical properties. This system has a direct bandgap, tunable from 1.51 eV for a monolayer to 0.59 eV for a 5-layer sample. We predict that the mobilities are hole-dominated, rather high and highly anisotropic. The monolayer is exceptional in having an extremely high hole-mobility (of order 10000 cm$^{2}$ V$^{-1}$ s$^{-1}$) and anomalous elastic properties which reverse the anisotropy. Light absorption spectra indicate linear dichroism between perpendicular in-plane directions, which allows optical determination of the crystalline orientation and optical activation of the anisotropic transport properties. These results make few-layer BP a promising candidate for future electronics.

description: Magnetic wind confinement has been proposed as one explanation for the complex wind structures of supergiant stars of spectral types B and A. Observational investigation of this hypothesis was undertaken using high-resolution (λ/Δλ {\sim} 65,000) circular polarization (Stokes V ) spectra of six late B and early A type supergiants (β Ori, B8Iae; 4 Lac, B9Iab; η Leo, A0Ib; HR1040, A0Ib; α Cyg, A2Iae; ν Cep, A2Iab), obtained with the instruments ESPaDOnS and Narval at the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope and the Bernard Lyot Telescope. Least Squares Deconvolution (LSD) analysis of the Stokes V spectra of all stars yields no evidence of a magnetic field, with best longitudinal field 1σ error bars ranging from {\sim}0.5 to {\sim}4.5 G for most stars. Spectrum synthesis analysis of the LSD profiles using Bayesian inference yields an upper limit with 95.4% credibility on the polar strength of the (undetected) surface dipole fields of individual stars ranging from 3 to 30 G. These results strongly suggest that magnetic wind confinement due to organized dipolar magnetic fields is not the origin of the wind variability of BA supergiant stars. Upper limits for magnetic spots may also be inconsistent with magnetic wind confinement in the limit of large spot size and filling factor, depending on the adopted wind parameters. Therefore, if magnetic spots are responsible for the wind variability of BA supergiant stars, they likely occupy a small fraction of the photosphere.

description: With the aim of investigating galaxy evolution in nearby galaxy groups, we analysed the spectral energy distribution of 24 galaxies, members of two groups in the Leo cloud, USGC U268 and USGC U376. We estimated the ages and stellar masses of the galaxies by fitting their total apparent magnitudes from far-ultraviolet to near-infrared with population synthesis models. The comparison of the results for a subsample of galaxies with smooth particle hydrodynamic (SPH) simulations with chemo-photometric implementation, shows that in most cases the estimated stellar masses obtained with the two different approaches are in good agreement. The kinematical and dynamical analysis indicates that USGC U268 is in a pre-virial collapse phase while USGC U376 is likely in a more evolved phase towards virialization.

description: This research was undertaken to examine the overall customer satisfaction with service quality delivered by Nigerian Banks through the use of ATM and to also ascertain whether some service quality factors exert a strong influence on the level of customer satisfaction;The concept of service quality has become eminent in every business discourse; a high service quality serves as an incentive for customers to come back due to satisfaction. To consistently maintain a high level of customer service, service firms must recognize that every aspect of their business has an impact on the customer.In this study, two types of data were collected; Primary Data and Secondary Data. This was necessary since it helped to add to the findings of the researcher. A simple random sampling and purposive sampling method were used. This ensured that every member of the population had an equal chance of being part of the sample. The sample size chosen was 200 bank customers.It was revealed in the survey that customers think that the banks need to improve on their quality of ATM services and a high number of the customers are willing to switch banks for the sole reason of an ATM that offers the highest service quality.The study also revealed some of the problems associated with the services provided by the ATM that the customers dislike and want to be adjusted, they are ATM cash out, the limit placed on daily withdrawal, Transaction error, slow response to dispute resolutions, Network problems, Long queues, Security issues and Card retraction.

description: We show that hydrodynamic theories of polar active matter generically possess inhomogeneous traveling solutions. We introduce a unifying dynamical-system framework to establish the shape of these intrinsically nonlinear patterns, and show that they correspond to those hitherto observed in experiments and numerical simulations: periodic density waves, and solitonic bands, or polar-liquid droplets both cruising in isotropic phases. We elucidate their respective multiplicity and mutual relations, as well as their existence domain.

description: Η παρούσα εργασία έχει σκοπό να προσεγγίσει τον βίο ενός σύγχρονου αγίου με γνήσιο πατερικό φρόνημα, ο οποίος έζησε στον 20ο αιώνα. Ο όσιος Ευμένιος Σαριδάκης ο Νέος, μέσα από την αγάπη του προς τον Θεό, έκανε πράξη το Ευαγγέλιο στην σύγχρονη κοινωνία, με όλες τις δυσκολίες που συνάντησε από την γέννηση έως και την κοίμηση του. Το ενδιαφέρον επικεντρώνεται στους σταθμούς της ζωής του, στις υπερκόσμιες αρετές τις οποίες απέκτησε καθώς και στην διδασκαλία του. Σύμφωνα με τον τίτλο της παρούσας εργασίας είναι μια πρώτη προσέγγιση σε ένα απλό και ταπεινό άνθρωπο του Θεού που έφυγε από την ζωή λίγα χρόνια πριν. Οι μαρτυρίες ανθρώπων που τον γνώρισαν, μας βοηθούν να καταλάβουμε τον τρόπο με τον οποίο αφιερώθηκε στον Θεό ζητώντας ταυτόχρονα να κάνει πράξη το θέλημά Του στην ίδια του την ζωή. Η ασθένεια με την οποία δοκιμάστηκε του άνοιξε τον δρόμο, ώστε να αγαπά και να συμπαρίσταται στον πονεμένο άνθρωπο, και να αφοσιωθεί στην ιερατική διακονία μέχρι την κοίμησή του.
description: The purpose of this essay is to approach the life of a contemporary Saint of the 20th century, with a genuine paternal creed. Saint Evmenios Saridakis, the Young, through his love for God, put the Gospel into practice in modern society, despite the hardships he encountered from his birth until his death. What one may find interesting is the milestones in his life, his acquired extraordinary virtues as well as his teachings. According to the title of this essay, it is a first attempt to approach a simple and humble man of God who passed away a few years ago. The testimonies of people who knew him, give us a better insight into the ways in which he was devoted to God and simultaneously seeking to incorporate God's will into his own life. The illness through which he was tested, led him to love and offer to human pain by dedicating his last years of his life as a Liturgist of the Lord.

description: We wish to understand the macroscopic plastic behaviour of metals by upscaling the micro-mechanics of dislocations. We consider a highly simplified dislocation network, which allows our microscopic model to be a one dimensional particle system, in which the interactions between the particles (dislocation walls) are singular and non-local. As a first step towards treating realistic geometries, we focus on finite-size effects rather than considering an infinite domain as typically discussed in the literature. We derive effective equations for the dislocation density by means of Γ-convergence on the space of probability measures. Our analysis yields a classification of macroscopic models, in which the size of the domain plays a key role.

description: The equation of state of asymmetric nuclear matter is still controversial, as predictions at subsaturation as well as above normal density widely diverge. We discuss several experimental results measured in heavy-ion collisions with the INDRA array in the incident energy range 5-80 MeV/nucleon. In particular an estimate of the density dependence of the symmetry energy is derived from isospin diffusion results compared with a transport code: the potential part of the symmetry energy linearly increases with the density. We demonstrate that isospin equilibrium is reached in mid-central collisions for the two reactions Ni+Au at 52 MeV/nucleon and Xe+Sn at 32 MeV/nucleon. New possible variables and an improved modelization to investigate symmetry energy are discussed.

description: Purpose: We introduce a novel methodology for voice pathology detection using the publicly available Saarbrücken Voice Database (SVD) and a robust feature set combining commonly used acoustic handcrafted features with two novel ones: pitch difference (relative variation in fundamental frequency) and NaN feature (failed fundamental frequency estimation).
 Methods: We evaluate six machine learning (ML) algorithms -- support vector machine, k-nearest neighbors, naive Bayes, decision tree, random forest, and AdaBoost -- using grid search for feasible hyperparameters and 20480 different feature subsets. Top 1000 classification models -- feature subset combinations for each ML algorithm are validated with repeated stratified cross-validation. To address class imbalance, we apply K-Means SMOTE to augment the training data.
 Results: Our approach achieves 85.61%, 84.69% and 85.22% unweighted average recall (UAR) for females, males and combined results respectively. We intentionally omit accuracy as it is a highly biased metric for imbalanced data.
 Conclusion: Our study demonstrates that by following the proposed methodology and feature engineering, there is a potential in detection of various voice pathologies using ML models applied to the simplest vocal task, a sustained utterance of the vowel /a:/. To enable easier use of our methodology and to support our claims, we provide a publicly available GitHub repository with DOI 10.5281/zenodo.13771573. Finally, we provide a REFORMS checklist to enhance readability, reproducibility and justification of our approach
