description: We report the discovery of an ultra-faint stellar system in the constellation of Pegasus. This concentration of stars was detected by applying our overdensity detection algorithm to the SDSS-DR10 and confirmed with deeper photometry from the Dark Energy Camera at the 4-m Blanco telescope. The best-fitting model isochrone indicates that this stellar system, Kim 1, features an old (12 Gyr) and metal-poor ([Fe/H]$\sim-1.7$) stellar population at a heliocentric distance of $19.8\pm0.9$ kpc. We measure a half-light radius of $6.9\pm0.6$ pc using a Plummer profile. The small physical size and the extremely low luminosity are comparable to the faintest known star clusters Segue 3, Koposov 1 & 2, and Muñoz 1. However, Kim 1 exhibits a lower star concentration and is lacking a well defined center. It also has an unusually high ellipticity and irregular outer isophotes, which suggests that we are seeing an intermediate mass star cluster being stripped by the Galactic tidal field. An extended search for evidence of an associated stellar stream within the 3 sqr deg DECam field remains inconclusive. The finding of Kim 1 is consistent with current overdensity detection limits and supports the hypothesis that there are still a substantial number of extreme low luminosity star clusters undetected in the wider Milky Way halo.

description: Tomato is one of the important vegetables grown all over the world for its nutritious and economic value. Varietal improvement for high yielding, pest resistance and tolerance, drought tolerance and processing quality traits are vital thereby to enhance production and productivity of the crop. Due to lack of improved varieties in the study area, local productivity of tomato is challenged and its production is very limited. Hence, identification of improved tomato varieties that are adaptable, high yielding and disease resistant is crucial before dissemination to boost its productivity in the study area. Therefore, this experiment was conducted at Arba Minch to evaluate ten improved tomato varieties for yield and yield components under irrigation condition using randomized complete block design replicated three times. ANOVA result indicated that there is a significant variation among tested varieties in all studied parameters. The mean total yield and number of fruits plant-1 of tomato varieties varied from 4991.1 to 11,215 kg ha-1 and 13.33 to 36.53 fruits plant-1, respectively. ‘Melkashola' scored the highest marketable yield (9,438 kg ha-1) and total yield (11,216 kg ha-1) being followed by ‘Bishola' (8,756 kg ha-1) and ‘Melkasalsa' (8,367 kg ha-1). On the other hand, ‘Melkasalsa' and ‘Miya' with moderately high yield might also be regarded as other potential varieties. Therefore, the first three varieties are recommended for cultivation in the study area and similar agro-ecology.

description: To fully realize the benefits of Decision Support Systems (DSS), it is important to investigate factors influencing individuals who are affected by the DSS’ decision but are not involved in decision-making. An example of such DSS is the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) in professional football. Drawing on transparency and justice research, we examined the role of transparency, procedural justice, and social influence on individuals’ attitudes towards the VAR. A quantitative vignette-based approach (N = 824) using two scenarios (fans watching from home/in stadiums) was chosen. Results indicate that all variables are higher in the home setting. Structural equation modelling revealed that transparency, procedural justice, and social influence significantly impact individual’s attitude towards the VAR. Multigroup analyses showed that the effect size of one transparency dimension is significantly stronger at home, while social influence is stronger in stadiums. To further interpret the findings, we conducted twelve semi-structured interviews among football fans.

description: A high throughput electrophoresis process using functionalized carbon nanotubes (CNT) was used to fabricate high resolution electron field emission cathodes at room temperature. It was shown that the process could be used to achieve well defined and adherent CNT patterns with 20 μm feature size on a variety of substrates with fine control of the CNT technology. The cathodes were found to show uniform emission patterns across the entire surfaces and emission current with long term stability. It was also found that the emission characteristics of the cathodes could be compared favourably to those from other fabrication methods for CNT based field emission display applications.

description: Scopo di questo lavoro è quello di discutere le posizioni patriottiche del poeta tedesco Stefan George e del suo Kreis di fronte alla prima guerra mondiale. Mentre George però conserva un atteggiamento ironico e riservato nei confronti del conflitto, i suoi discepoli mostrano l'entusiasmo bellico al tempo dominante in Germania. Il vertice di questa posizione ambivalente è raggiunto nella poesia di George dal titolo Der Krieg, in cui il poeta ha scritto: «Non ci sarà il trionfo, solo molti tramonti senza onore».

description: Neural Architecture Search (NAS) is quickly becoming the go-to approach to optimize the structure of Deep Learning (DL) models for complex tasks such as Image Classification or Object Detection. However, many other relevant applications of DL, especially at the edge, are based on time-series processing and require models with unique features, for which NAS is less explored. This work focuses in particular on Temporal Convolutional Networks (TCNs), a convolutional model for time-series processing that has recently emerged as a promising alternative to more complex recurrent architectures. We propose the first NAS tool that explicitly targets the optimization of the most peculiar architectural parameters of TCNs, namely dilation, receptive-field and number of features in each layer. The proposed approach searches for networks that offer good trade-offs between accuracy and number of parameters/operations, enabling an efficient deployment on embedded platforms. We test the proposed NAS on four real-world, edge-relevant tasks, involving audio and bio-signals. Results show that, starting from a single seed network, our method is capable of obtaining a rich collection of Pareto optimal architectures, among which we obtain models with the same accuracy as the seed, and 15.9-152x fewer parameters. Compared to three state-of-the-art NAS tools, ProxylessNAS, MorphNet and FBNetV2, our method explores a larger search space for TCNs (up to 10^12x) and obtains superior solutions, while requiring low GPU memory and search time. We deploy our NAS outputs on two distinct edge devices, the multicore GreenWaves Technology GAP8 IoT processor and the single-core STMicroelectronics STM32H7 microcontroller. With respect to the state-of-the-art hand-tuned models, we reduce latency and energy of up to 5.5x and 3.8x on the two targets respectively, without any accuracy loss.

Nonuniversal effects in mixing correlated-growth processes with randomness: Interplay between bulk morphology and surface roughening

description: To construct continuum stochastic growth equations for competitive nonequilibrium surface-growth processes of the type RD+X that mixes random deposition (RD) with a correlated-growth process X, we use a simplex decomposition of the height field. A distinction between growth processes X that do and do not create voids in the bulk leads to the definition of the {\it effective probability} $p_{\mathrm{eff}}$ of the process X that is a measurable property of the bulk morphology and depends on the {\it activation probability} $p$ of X in the competitive process RD+X. The bulk morphology is reflected in the surface roughening via {\it nonuniversal} prefactors in the universal scaling of the surface width that scales in $p_{\mathrm{eff}}$. The equation and the resulting scaling are derived for X in either a Kardar-Parisi-Zhang or Edwards-Wilkinson universality class in $(1+1)$ dimensions, and illustrated by an example of X being a ballistic deposition. We obtain full data collapse on its corresponding universal scaling function for all $p \in (0;1]$. We outline the generalizations to $(1+n)$ dimensions and to many-component competitive growth processes.

description: Summary. Obesity is a chronic disease underlined as one of greatest public health challenges in 21st century that significantly increase the risk of developing diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, liver disease and cancer. Current strategies in obesity prevention focus on the lifestyle changes, calorie-restriction diets, pharmacological and surgical interventions. Although obese subjects share some phenotype characteristics, others can be significantly different. For example, up to 30% of obese patients are metabolically healthy and do not display the “typical” metabolic obesity-associated complications. These phenotype difference also lead to variation in success rate of treatments among different individuals. Since obesity cannot be looked at as one simple pathological entity, we need novel tools to define different phenotypes of obesity in order to improve stratifications of patients and facilitate the development of personalized treatments. The use of next-generation sequencing enables comprehensive view on interaction between different genes, and the discovery of novel pathways that are dysregulated in different pathophysiological processes. So far, this approach has identified novel coding and non-coding regions of DNA that are implicated in the development and progression of obesity and help to identify potential tissue-specific biomarkers that could be used for successful predictions of intervention outcomes. Another interesting layer of information that recently is being explored is related to the modifications of RNA and its implications in adipose tissue physiology. Animal as well as human studies have confirmed critical role that some RNA modification play in the dysfunctionality of adipose tissue in obesity. Future efforts should aim to integrate transcriptomics data with other omics (genomics, epigenomics, proteomics and metabolomics) through the use of machine learning algorithms in order to get more holistic view and deeper understanding of different obesity phenotypes.

description: Detecting meaningful structure in neural activity and connectivity data is challenging in the presence of hidden nonlinearities, where traditional eigenvalue-based methods may be misleading. We introduce a novel approach to matrix analysis, called clique topology, that extracts features of the data invariant under nonlinear monotone transformations. These features can be used to detect both random and geometric structure, and depend only on the relative ordering of matrix entries. We then analyzed the activity of pyramidal neurons in rat hippocampus, recorded while the animal was exploring a two-dimensional environment, and confirmed that our method is able to detect geometric organization using only the intrinsic pattern of neural correlations. Remarkably, we found similar results during non-spatial behaviors such as wheel running and REM sleep. This suggests that the geometric structure of correlations is shaped by the underlying hippocampal circuits, and is not merely a consequence of position coding. We propose that clique topology is a powerful new tool for matrix analysis in biological settings, where the relationship of observed quantities to more meaningful variables is often nonlinear and unknown.

description: Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is a rare inherited cardiomyopathy characterised by right ventricular dysfunction, ventricular arrhythmias and increased risk of sudden cardiac death. Due to the replacement of myocardium with fibro-fatty and fibrous tissue, patients with ARVC are prone to develop ventricular tachycardia. Histologically, it is often reported as the ‘triangle of dysplasia’ involving the inflow tract, outflow tract and apex of the right ventricle.2 We describe a 20-years-old patient who collapsed during a futsal match and was subsequently diagnosed to have ARVC with a right ventricular thrombus from cardiac magnetic resonance imaging.

description: Carbon nanotubes (CNT) have recently emerged as a promising class of electron field emitters. They have a low threshold electric field for emission and a high emission current density which make them attractive for technological applications. In this article we review recent progress on understanding of CNT field emitters and discuss issues related to applications of CNT-based cold cathodes in vacuum microelectronic devices. The emphasis is on the emission characteristics of macroscopic CNT cathodes and their relations with the underlying materials properties.

description: The paper investigates the application of different Water Quality Index (WQI) models for to estuarine waters. WQI models are aggregation based mathematical models that convert extensive water quality data into a single value. They typically contain four crucial components with the functions of (1) selecting parameters, (2) developing sub-index rules, (3) generating weighting values, and (4) aggregating the sub-indices. They are attractive because of their relative simplicity and ease of application. However, there is a level of uncertainty in the final aggregated indices due to the potentially large spatial and temporal variations in the input water parameter values. Here we apply seven different WQI models to Cork Harbour, an estuary on the southwest coast of Ireland. The water quality data input data included measurements of nine water quality monitoring parameters from 31 monitoring sites in Cork Harbour. The spatial uncertainty of the WQI models was estimated based on the standard deviation of the computed indices. The spatial uncertainty of the input water quality data was also determined and compared with that of the WQIs for any correlation.

description: It was first pointed out by Press and Teukolsky that a system composed of a spinning Kerr black hole surrounded by a reflecting mirror may develop instabilities. The physical mechanism responsible for the development of these exponentially growing instabilities is the superradiant amplification of bosonic fields confined between the black hole and the mirror. A remarkable feature of this composed black-hole-mirror-field system is the existence of a critical mirror radius, $r^{\text{stat}}_{\text{m}}$, which supports {\it stationary} (marginally-stable) field configurations. This critical (`stationary') mirror radius marks the boundary between stable and unstable black-hole-mirror-field configurations: composed systems whose confining mirror is situated in the region $r_{\text{m}}r^{\text{stat}}_{\text{m}}$ are unstable (that is, there are confined field modes which grow exponentially over time). In the present paper we explore this critical (marginally-stable) boundary between stable and explosive black-hole-mirror-field configurations. It is shown that the innermost ({\it smallest}) radius of the confining mirror which allows the extraction of rotational energy from a spinning Kerr black hole approaches the black-hole horizon radius in the extremal limit of rapidly-rotating black holes. We find, in particular, that this critical mirror radius (which marks the onset of superradiant instabilities in the composed system) scales linearly with the black-hole temperature.

description: The electronic structure of multiwalled carbon nanotubes aligned perpendicularly on a Si substrate was studied by means of photoelectron spectromicroscopy. The valence band and the C 1s spectra, measured systematically from spatially selected regions along the tube axes, were the fingerprint for lateral variations in the electron density of states and in the band bending, respectively. It was found that the tips have a larger density of states near the Fermi level than the sidewalls, whereas band bending, which would explain such a spectral difference, was not observed. It is suggested that the different density of states near the Fermi level is due to a larger dangling bond density at the tips.

description: We present an eye typing interface with one-point calibration, which is a two-stage design. The characters are clustered in groups of four characters. Users select a cluster by gazing at it in the first stage and then select the desired character by following its movement in the second stage. A user study was conducted to explore the impact of auditory and visual feedback on typing performance and user experience of this novel interface. Results show that participants can quickly learn how to use the system, and an average typing speed of 4.7 WPM can be reached without lengthy training. The subjective data of participants revealed that users preferred visual feedback over auditory feedback while using the interface. The user study indicates that this eye typing interface can be used for walk-up-and-use interactions, as it is easily understood and robust to eye-tracking inaccuracies. Potential areas of application, as well as possibilities for further improvements, are discussed.

description: The main goal of every company is to gain as much profit as possible, and a very important goal is also to obtain a competitive advantage in the market. In this paper, it has been developed and applied an integrated model, which is based on a PCA-DEA-MCDM approach, with the aim of evaluating the efficiency of a transport company from Bosnia and Herzegovina. At the very beginning, using the PCA (Principal Component Analysis)–DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis) model, efficient and inefficient business years were identified, and then, using CRITIC (Criteria Importance Through Inter Criteria Correlation) and the Entropy method, weight values of defined parameters were determined. After that, the decision-making units were ranked using MARCOS (Measurement Alternatives and Ranking according to the Compromise Solution). In addition, the sensitivity analysis includes the formation of scenarios of changes in weight values of five most significant criteria and the calculation of SCC and WS correlation coefficients. The application of this integrated model, in addition to identifying efficient/inefficient years of operation, enables the identification of influencing factors of the most efficient year of operation, which can serve as a benchmark to further contribute to the efficiency of the transport company.

description: We present the flare occurrence rates and starspot evolution for GJ 1245 A and B, two active M5 stars, based on nine months of Kepler short cadence observations, and four years of nearly continuous long cadence observations. The A component is separated from the B component by 7 arcseconds, and the stars are not resolved in the Kepler pipeline processing due to Kepler's large plate scale of 4 arcseconds/pixel. Analyzing the target pixel data, we have generated separate light curves for components A and B using the PyKE pixel response function modeling procedures, and note the effects of CCD saturation and non-linear response to high energy flares. In our sample, GJ 1245A and B exhibit an average of 3.0 and 2.6 flares per day, respectively. We introduce a new metric, $L_{fl}/L_{\mathrm{Kp}}$, to compare the flare rates between stars, and discuss this in the context of GJ 1245 A and B. Both stars exhibit starspot features that evolve on long time scales, with the slower rotating B component showing evidence of differential rotation. Intriguingly, the angular separation between the A and B component photocenters decreases during the four years of observations in a manner consistent with a shift in the position of the A photocenter due to the orbit of its unseen M8 companion (GJ 1245C), which is $\sim$94% less bright. Among the most detailed photometric studies of fully convective M dwarfs in a multiple system, these results provide an important constraint on stellar age-rotation-activity models.

description: The cutting performance of textured polycrystalline diamond (PCD) tools on SiCp/Al composites is studied using an orthogonal cutting experiment. Micro-grooves with rounded corners are machined on the tool. Two texture parameters, namely the distance between the texture and main cutting edge and the texture spacing, were varied to investigate their influence on the cutting performance. The former is found to play a more important role in machining. Compared with non-textured tools, textured tools reduce the cutting force and tool wear, improve the surface quality, and change the chip flow direction to produce an anti-adhesion effect during cutting. To elucidate the cutting mechanism of textured tools, the cutting performance of tools with different micro-groove shapes is numerically studied using the finite element method. The simulation results indicate that a micro-groove-textured PCD tool with rounded corners reduces the interaction between the tool texture and chips, and the particles in the interface play a supportive and rolling role between the chip and tool surface.

description: Fritz Mauthner, Gustav Landauer e Martin Buber sono autori nati tutti nella seconda metà del XIX secolo da famiglie ebraico-tedesche assimilate. Mentre questo retroterra ha determinato gli anni giovanili di Landauer e di Mauthner, Buber trascorse invece l’infanzia a casa del nonno, molto legato alla tradizione ebraica, che in tal modo influenzò il nipote. Tutti e tre si dedicarono molto presto ad attività letterarie: Landauer per fuggire dalle ristrettezze borghesi, Buber per interesse alla religione, Fritz Mauthner grazie alla città di Praga, con la sua caratteristica presenza di molte lingue e culture. Tutti e tre modificarono col tempo questa impostazione originaria: Mauthner pose fine alla sua carriera di scrittore per diventare filosofo del linguaggio; Landauer interruppe la carriera accademica per dedicarsi allo studio delle teorie anarchiche, Buber prese le distanze da Theodor Herzl, per volgersi alle radici mistico-religiose dell’ebraismo. I tre si influenzarono a vicenda con i loro scritti, restando legati per tutta la vita da vincoli professionali ed amicali.

description: The study of Cs intercalation process in multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNT) was done by cross-sectional scanning photoemission microscopy. It was found that Cs atoms initially deposited on the tips of aligned nanotubes diffused towards their roots. The evaluation of Cs diffusion constant for the MWNTs at room temperature was done from the Cs distribution measured along the axes of the tubes.

description: The angle between the rotation and orbital axes of stars in binary systems -- the obliquity -- is an important indicator of how these systems form and evolve but few such measurements exist. We combine the sample of astrometric orbital inclinations from Gaia DR3 with a sample of solar-like oscillators in which rotational inclinations have been measured using asteroseismology. We supplement our sample with one binary whose visual orbit has been determined using speckle interferometry and present the projected spin-orbit alignments in five systems. We find that each system, and the overall sample, is consistent with alignment but there are important caveats. First, the asteroseismic rotational inclinations are fundamentally ambiguous and, second, we can only measure the projected (rather than true) obliquity. If rotational and orbital inclinations are independent and isotropically-distributed, however, the likelihood of drawing our data by chance is less than a few per cent. Though small, our data set argues against uniformly random obliquities in binary systems. We speculate that dozens more measurements could be made using data from NASA's TESS mission, mostly in red giants. ESA's PLATO mission will likely produce hundreds more spin-orbit measurements in systems with main-sequence and subgiant stars.

description: Purpose: In the era of next-generation sequencing, we are increasingly confronted with se- quence variants of unknown significance. This phenomenon is also known for variations in Caveolin-3 and can complicate the molecular diagnosis of the disease. Here, we aimed to study the ambiguous character of the G56S Caveolin-3 variant. Experimental design: A comprehensive approach combining genetic and morphological stud- ies of muscle derived from carriers of the G56S Caveolin-3 variant were carried out and linked to biochemical assays (including phosphoblot studies and proteome profiling) and morphological investigations of cultured myoblasts. Results: Muscles showed moderate chronic myopathic changes in all carriers of the variant. Myogenic RCMH cells expressing the G56S Caveolin-3 protein presented irregular Caveolin-3 deposits within the Golgi in addition to a regular localization of the protein to the plasma mem- brane. This result was associated with abnormal findings on the ultra-structural level. Phos- phoblot studies revealed that G56S affects EGFR-signaling. Proteomic profiling demonstrated alterations in levels of physiologically relevant proteins which are indicative for antagonization of G56S Caveolin-3 expression. Remarkably, some proteomic alterations were enhanced by osmotic/mechanical stress. Conclusions and clinical relevance: Our studies suggest that G56S might influence the mani- festation of myopathic changes upon the presence of additional cellular stress burden. Results of our studies moreover improve the current understanding of (genetic) causes of myopathic disorders classified as caveolinopathies.
