description: Background: The cause of anti-TNF-induced psoriasis is still unknown. Objective: We aimed to evaluate if the appearance of psoriasis under anti-TNF therapy is associated with anti-TNF antibody levels and TNF-antagonist trough levels. Methods: In this case-control study we identified 23 patients (21 with Crohn’s disease [CD], two with ulcerative colitis [UC]) who developed psoriasis under infliximab (IFX, n = 20), adalimumab (ADA, n = 2), and certolizumab pegol (CZP, n= 1) and compared them regarding the anti-TNF-antagonist antibody levels with 85 IBD patients (72 with CD, 13 with UC) on anti-TNF therapy without psoriasis. Results: Median disease duration was not different between the two groups (7 years in the group with psoriasis under TNF-antagonists vs. 10 years in the control group, p = 0.072). No patient from the psoriasis group had antibodies against TNF-antagonists compared to 10.6% in the control group (p = 0.103). No difference was found in IFX trough levels in the group of patients with psoriasis compared to the control group (2.6 μg/mL [IQR 0.9–5.5] vs. 3.4 μg/mL [IQR 1.4–8.1], p = 0.573). TNF-antagonist therapy could be continued in 91.3% of patients with TNF-antagonist related psoriasis and most patients responded to topical therapies. Conclusion: Anti-TNF-induced psoriasis seems to be independent of anti-TNF antibodies and trough levels. Interruption of Anti-TNF therapy is rarely necessary.

description: Objective. Our aim was to study the risk of a first ischaemic stroke (IS) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) treated in primary healthcare. Design. The study population included all adults (n = 11,517), 45 years and older diagnosed with AF, from 75 primary care centres in Sweden between 2001 and 2007. IS was defined as a hospital care event of stroke between 2001 and 2010. Association between incident stroke and warfarin treatment was explored using Cox regression analysis, with hazard ratios (HRs), and 95% confidence intervals (95%CIs). Adjustment was made for age, socioeconomic factors and co-morbidity. Results. Persistent treatment with warfarin was present among 33.7% of women and 40.0% among men. Persistent warfarin treatment, compared to no persistent treatment, was associated with a stroke preventing effect with fully adjusted HRs of 0.25 (95%CI 0.18–0.36) in women, and 0.25 (95%CI 0.19–0.32) in men. A CHA2DS2-VASc score of at least two among women, and three among men, was associated with a stroke risk exceeding 18% during a mean follow-up of 5.4 years. Risk of haemorrhagic stroke was not increased. Conclusions. Warfarin is effective in preventing stroke in AF patients in primary healthcare.

description: Objectives: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) associated with systemic sclerosis (SSc) has a poor prognosis compared to PAH associated with other connective tissue diseases (CTD). The objective of this study was to examine the difference in hemodynamic state between SSc-PAH and other CTD-PAH by performing cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging. Methods: A single center retrospective analysis was conducted comprising 40 consecutive CTD patients who underwent right heart catheterization and CMR at the same period from January 2010 to October 2015. Results: Thirty-two patients had pre-capillary pulmonary hypertension. Of these, 15 had SSc and 17 had other CTD. CMR measurements, particularly the ratio of right to left end-diastolic volume (RVEDV/LVEDV), correlated well with mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP). Conversely, RVEDV/LVEDV and mPAP correlated differently in SSc and non-SSc patients. In SSc patients, the ratio of RVEDV/LVEDV to mPAP was significantly higher compared to non-SSc patients. In the follow-up study, 2 SSc patients exhibited increased RVEDV/LVEDV in spite of decreased mPAP following treatment. Kaplan–Meier analysis revealed poor prognosis of patients with increased RVEDV/LVEDV following treatment. Conclusions: Our data indicated that altered bi-ventricular interplay detected at CMR may represent SSc-related cardiac involvement and reflect poor prognosis of SSc-PAH.

description: The advantages of rapid removal of overburden from rural and urban archaeological sites alike are obvious, and this paper from the CBA's 1965 conference illustrates and describes the most suitable machines in two main categories. In the first (general purpose or crawler excavators and stationary hydraulic excavators) the most useful machine is the back-acter bucket for trench-digging. In the second category are machines which rely on their own tractive power for the digging process: bulldozers are best suited to clearance of debris or undergrowth and subsequent back-filling; scrapers are neat and speedy for extensive stripping of a large site; and the tractor shovel, especially with back-acter bucket, has many applications in archaeological work. Discussion with a civil engineer on site will assist in the correct choice of machine taking into account cost-effectiveness, accessibility of site, placing of spoil and weather conditions. Safety precautions must be of the strictest.

description: In this study, the orange peel of 12 cultivars of Citrus sinensis from central-eastern Sicily was employed to obtain essential oils and extracts. The ones were extracted through steam distillation, the others through extraction in hexane. Chemical constituents were evaluated in terms of qualitative and quantitative analyses by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. Fifty-four components were identified in the steam essential oils and 44 in the extracts. In all the cultivars, the main component is d-limonene (73.9–97%); discrete percentages of linalool, geraniol and nerol were also found. Cluster analysis based on essential oils composition showed a certain degree of affinity between cultivars of the same type. The antimicrobial activity was investigated against three micro-organisms (Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogens and Pseudomonas aeruginosa). ‘Sanguinello’ and ‘Solarino Moro’ essential oils are significantly active against L. monocytogenes, while ‘Valencia’ hexanic extract against all the tested micro-organisms.

description: Macropolitical institutional venues deal with a large scope of policy areas but, due to cognitive and institutional constraints, process information serially. Therefore, they can be expected to demonstrate issue proclivity – long-term specialization in a narrow set of topics. In the European Union (EU), the European Council and the Commission form a dual executive. Their distinctively different functional roles imply differences in institutional issue proclivity, which are empirically tested on 12 years of output agendas data. The European Council exhibits issue proclivity towards soft law domains, whereas the Commission towards exclusive EU competencies, the common market and flanking regulatory affairs. The European Council’s remit is rather protected but the Commission is more vulnerable. As the fields of business and energy demonstrate, the European Council can temporally become more active in Commission proclivity domains in the context of large-scale crises and political salience of big projects.

description: As a filmmaker and researcher working with Aboriginal communities, I have witnessed and documented the seemingly insurmountable obstacles put in the way of communities who are trying to protect their cultural heritage in the context of development. In this paper I present a case study which I worked on for three years with the Tweed Aboriginal community, namely the issues in the management of Aboriginal Cultural Heritage emerging from the construction of the Tugun Bypass, which I have documented in a film entitled Bypassed: The Erosion of our Cultural and Environmental Landscapes, 2006. This case study focuses on the fact that most cultural heritage surveys occurring in the context of development or mining exploration concentrate on “sites” rather than the “societies” those sites are associated with, particularly in urban areas, resulting in failed consultation processes, conflicts, and eventually loss of cultural heritage data and educational opportunities. I suggest some potential alternatives to a conflict-based paradigm, and argue the case for a more multidisciplinary approach in cultural heritage management.

description: An increase in foliar nitrogen isotope composition (δ15N) with decreasing precipitation has been shown to occur widely in non-N2-fixing plant species. However, similar patterns have not been identified in N2-fixing species. Here, we tested the relationships of foliar δ15N with local environmental factors and leaf properties in two leguminous shrub species (Caragana korshinskii and Caragana liouana) sampled from 30 populations. Results indicated that the mean annual precipitation (MAP) primarily accounted for the variation of foliar δ15N in the two species. Further analysis revealed strong negative correlations between foliar δ15N and MAP within and across species. These results suggest that the foliar δ15N of leguminous shrub species also shift along precipitation gradients, which augments our understanding of the relationships between foliar δ15N and climatic factors.

description: Autophagy is an effective strategy for cell development by recycling cytoplasmic constituents. Genetic deletion of autophagy mediator Atg7 in hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) can lead to failure of megakaryopoiesis and enhanced autophagy has been implicated in various hematological disorders such as immune thrombocytopenia and myelodysplastic syndrome. Here, we examined the hypothesis that optimal autophagy is essential for megakaryopoiesis and thrombopoiesis by altering autophagy using pharmacological approaches. When autophagy was induced by rapamycin or inhibited by bafilomycin A1 in fetal liver cells, we observed a significant decrease in high ploidy megakaryocytes, a reduction of CD41 and CD61 co-expressing cells, and less proplatelet or platelet formation. Additionally, reduced cell size was shown in megakaryocytes derived from rapamycin, but not bafilomycin A1-treated mouse fetal liver cells. However, when autophagy was altered in mature megakaryocytes, we observed no significant change in proplatelet formation, which was consistent with normal platelet counts, megakaryocyte numbers, and ploidy in Atg7flox/flox PF4-Cre mice with megakaryocyte- and platelet-specific deletion of autophagy-related gene Atg7. Therefore, our findings suggest that either induction or inhibition of autophagy in the early stage of megakaryopoiesis suppresses megakaryopoiesis and thrombopoiesis.

description: While the popularity of physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) is steadily rising, to this date, PINNs have not been successful in simulating multi-scale and singular perturbation problems. In this work, we present a new training paradigm referred to as "gradient boosting" (GB), which significantly enhances the performance of physics informed neural networks (PINNs). Rather than learning the solution of a given PDE using a single neural network directly, our algorithm employs a sequence of neural networks to achieve a superior outcome. This approach allows us to solve problems presenting great challenges for traditional PINNs. Our numerical experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of our algorithm through various benchmarks, including comparisons with finite element methods and PINNs. Furthermore, this work also unlocks the door to employing ensemble learning techniques in PINNs, providing opportunities for further improvement in solving PDEs.
Convexification of bilinear terms over network polytopes

description: It is well-known that the McCormick relaxation for the bilinear constraint $z=xy$ gives the convex hull over the box domains for $x$ and $y$. In network applications where the domain of bilinear variables is described by a network polytope, the McCormick relaxation, also referred to as linearization, fails to provide the convex hull and often leads to poor dual bounds. We study the convex hull of the set containing bilinear constraints $z_{i,j}=x_iy_j$ where $x_i$ represents the arc-flow variable in a network polytope, and $y_j$ is in a simplex. For the case where the simplex contains a single $y$ variable, we introduce a systematic procedure to obtain the convex hull of the above set in the original space of variables, and show that all facet-defining inequalities of the convex hull can be obtained explicitly through identifying a special tree structure in the underlying network. For the generalization where the simplex contains multiple $y$ variables, we design a constructive procedure to obtain an important class of facet-defining inequalities for the convex hull of the underlying bilinear set that is characterized by a special forest structure in the underlying network. Computational experiments are presented to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.

description: Deep Neural Networks (DNN) are nowadays largely adopted in many application domains thanks to their human-like, or even superhuman, performance in specific tasks. However, due to unpredictable/unconsidered operating conditions, unexpected failures show up on field, making the performance of a DNN in operation very different from the one estimated prior to release. In the life cycle of DNN systems, the assessment of accuracy is typically addressed in two ways: offline, via sampling of operational inputs, or online, via pseudo-oracles. The former is considered more expensive due to the need for manual labeling of the sampled inputs. The latter is automatic but less accurate. We believe that emerging iterative industrial-strength life cycle models for Machine Learning systems, like MLOps, offer the possibility to leverage inputs observed in operation not only to provide faithful estimates of a DNN accuracy, but also to improve it through remodeling/retraining actions. We propose DAIC (DNN Assessment and Improvement Cycle), an approach which combines ''low-cost'' online pseudo-oracles and ''high-cost'' offline sampling techniques to estimate and improve the operational accuracy of a DNN in the iterations of its life cycle. Preliminary results show the benefits of combining the two approaches and integrating them in the DNN life cycle.

description: Candida albicans is one of the most frequently isolated fungal pathogens causing opportunistic infections in humans. Targeted magnetic fluid hyperthermia (MFH) is a promising method in thermal therapy facilitating selective heating of pathogen cells like C. albicans. In the paper, we used meso-2,3-dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA)-coated magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) and functionalised anti-C. albicans immunomagnetic nanoparticles (IMNPs) to investigate the potential of MFH in combating C. albicans cells in vitro. Using Mössbauer spectroscopy it was found that synthesised MNPs exhibited superparamagnetic phenomena. On the basis of calorimetric experiments, the maximum SAR (specific absorption rate) was found and a proper concentration of MNPs was established to control the temperature. MFH based on both DMSA-coated MNPs and functionalised anti-C. albicans IMNPs was more effective in combating C. albicans cells in vitro than thermostat hyperthermia. Especially promising results were obtained using functionalised IMNPs, which eradicated most of the pathogen colonies at the temperature of 43 °C.

description: Using quantum systems with more than two levels, or qudits, can scale the computation space of quantum processors more efficiently than using qubits, which may offer an easier physical implementation for larger Hilbert spaces. However, individual qudits may exhibit larger noise, and algorithms designed for qubits require to be recompiled to qudit algorithms for execution. In this work, we implemented a two-qubit emulator using a 4-level superconducting transmon qudit for variational quantum algorithm applications and analyzed its noise model. The major source of error for the variational algorithm was readout misclassification error and amplitude damping. To improve the accuracy of the results, we applied error-mitigation techniques to reduce the effects of the misclassification and qudit decay event. The final predicted energy value is within the range of chemical accuracy. Our work demonstrates that qudits are a practical alternative to qubits for variational algorithms.
Excavations at Linenhall Street, Chester, 1961-2

description: [SJ 4066]. Further exploration of the Roman defences also revealed traces of an apparently Saxon refortification of the town. In the Roman period, two phases of stone defences, Trajanic and Constantian, were seen; ovens behind the rampart were in use up to c AD 120, but a ?store building continued probably to the end of 2nd century. The post-Roman defences consisted of a masonry platform with ditch outside (?gateway), while further along was a ?palisade trench. This phase is not well dated, but there is ample coin evidence in the town for a reoccupation early in 10th century, and some pottery reinforces this. It is likely that the defences were Aethelflaed's, adapted from the ruined Roman walls. Medieval and post-medieval features, including a lime-kiln, were also examined; pottery of Roman, Late Saxon and medieval periods and small finds are catalogued.

description: Sea level rise (SLR) significantly impacts morphodynamics, altering hydrodynamics, sediment transport, and riverbed morphology. This study examines these effects in the Dong Nai-Sai Gon River (DNSG) basin, focusing on the Soai Rap River mouth. Using an integrated numerical model (TELEMAC-2D–SISYPHE–TOMAWAC), simulations were conducted under three SLR scenarios: baseline (SCE0), SLR+0.5 m (SCE1), and SLR+1.0 m (SCE2). Results indicate erosion in Zone 1 (upstream), sediment balance in Zone 2 (midstream), and deposition in Zone 3 (estuary and coastal areas). Regression-based linear equations were developed to understand the sediment deposition relationships among the zones under varying SLR conditions. We have discovered new insights into sediment dynamics, providing predictive tools for sustainable sediment management and adaptation to SLR in estuaries. Additionally, this work contributes to understanding regional morphodynamic responses to SLR and informs strategies for managing sediment resources in estuarine systems.

description: We show that weakly entangled states can improve communication over a qubit channel using only separate, interference-free, measurements of individual photons. We introduce a communication task corresponding to the cryptographic primitive known as secret sharing and show that all steerable two-qubit isotropic states provide a quantum advantage in the success rate using only product measurements. Furthermore, we show that such measurements can even reveal communication advantages from noisy partially entangled states that admit no quantum steering. We then go further and consider a stochastic variant of secret sharing based on more sophisticated, yet standard, partial Bell state analysers, and show that this reveals advantages also for a range of unsteerable isotropic states. By preparing polarisation qubits in unsteerable states, we experimentally demonstrate improved success rates of both secret sharing tasks beyond the best entanglement-unassisted qubit protocol. Our results reveal the capability of simple and scalable measurements in entanglement-assisted quantum communication to overcome large amounts of noise.

description: The unsteady turbulent features of hydraulic jumps in abruptly expanding channels can be substantially different from classical hydraulic jumps yet lack quantitative investigation beyond the time-averaged three-dimensional flow structure. This paper outlines first the formation conditions for various expanding hydraulic jump flow patterns and then focuses on the unsteady turbulent fluctuation characteristics of T-jumps under varying expansion ratios. The lateral flow expansion is associated with variations in free-surface fluctuation amplitudes and frequencies downstream of the expansion throat, as well as in their impact on the jump toe oscillations in the contraction channel. A stable and asymmetric T-jump displays marked flow variation across the mainstream flow, indicating highly three-dimensional flow structures that extend to the tailgates of the expansion basin. Uneven central-lateral tailgate placement causes spanwise oscillations of the mainstream flow primarily, with the oscillation frequency subject to tailwater control, approach flow velocity, and expansion ratios of the channel.

Lossless Spin-Orbit Torque in Antiferromagnetic Topological Insulator MnBi$_2$Te$_4$

description: We formulate and quantify the spin-orbit torque (SOT) in intrinsic antiferromagnetic topological insulator $\rm MnBi_2Te_4$ of a few septuple-layer thick, which exhibits conspicuous layer-resolved characteristics. Contrary to known current-induced torques, the SOT in insulating $\rm MnBi_2Te_4$ is driven by an electric field (or voltage). We further study the SOT-induced magnetic resonances, where in the tri-septuple-layer case we identify a peculiar exchange mode that is blind to microwaves but can be exclusively driven by the predicted SOT. As an inverse effect of the SOT, topological charge pumping generates an adiabatic current devoid of Joule heating, which occurs concomitantly with the SOT and gives rise to an overall magneto-reactance for $\rm MnBi_2Te_4$, enabling a lossless conversion of electric power into magnetic dynamics.

description: Deep neural networks lack interpretability and tend to be overconfident, which poses a serious problem in safety-critical applications like autonomous driving, medical imaging, or machine vision tasks with high demands on reliability. Quantifying the predictive uncertainty is a promising endeavour to open up the use of deep neural networks for such applications. Unfortunately, current available methods are computationally expensive. In this work, we present a novel approach for efficient and reliable uncertainty estimation which we call Deep Uncertainty Distillation using Ensembles for Segmentation (DUDES). DUDES applies student-teacher distillation with a Deep Ensemble to accurately approximate predictive uncertainties with a single forward pass while maintaining simplicity and adaptability. Experimentally, DUDES accurately captures predictive uncertainties without sacrificing performance on the segmentation task and indicates impressive capabilities of identifying wrongly classified pixels and out-of-domain samples on the Cityscapes dataset. With DUDES, we manage to simultaneously simplify and outperform previous work on Deep Ensemble-based Uncertainty Distillation.

Notes on a sculptured stone recently found in the North Wall of the city of Chester
Creators: name: De Gray Birch, W
Publisher: name: Archaeology Data Service

description: Journal of the Chester Archaeological Society, 2, 25-39
description: Concerns one of a number of sculptured stones recovered during repair works to the city walls at Chester [see article on pp1-10 of this volume]. Although the other recovered stones are all considered to be Roman, the stone discussed here is thought by some to be of the medieval period. The author quotes some of the arguments for a post-Roman date and explains why he himself believes the stone to be Roman. The date of the stone, found many feet below the ground, has implications for the earliest possible construction date of the wall itself. LD

description: [SJ 4066]. In the first area explored, to west of the praetorium, two timber buildings (one a ?barrack block) were succeeded in Trajanic times by three stone buildings, a workshop, store and ?tank-base; the workshop continued in use to 3rd or 4th century. In the second area, a long narrow site west of Northgate Street, traces of the timber ?principia were examined, and in the succeeding stone version the sacellum and adjacent rooms were explored. The 1948-9 work of Richmond and Webster was confirmed, but dating remains uncertain. An enigmatic and fragmentary inscription appears administrative rather than military.

description: Thermodynamics studies of a prototypical quasi-two-dimensional frustrated magnet Ba$_2$Sn$_2$ZnCr$_{7p}$Ga$_{10-7p}$O$_{22}$ where the magnetic Cr$^{3+}$ ions are arranged in a triangular network of bipyramids show that the magnetic zero-point entropy for $p=0.98$ is 55(1)\% of the entropy expected when the Cr$^{3+}$ moments are fully disordered. Furthermore, when combined with a previous neutron scattering study and the perimeter scaling entropy of a spin jam, the analysis reveals that with decreasing $p$, i.e., doping of the nonmagnetic Ga$^{3+}$ ions, the variation in the magnetic zero-point entropy can be well explained by the combined effects of the zero-point entropy of the spin jam state and that of weakly coupled orphan spins, shedding light on the coexistence of the two types of spin states in quantum magnetism.

description: We propose a framework for the design of feedback controllers that combines the optimization-driven and model-free advantages of deep reinforcement learning with the stability guarantees provided by using the Youla-Kucera parameterization to define the search domain. Recent advances in behavioral systems allow us to construct a data-driven internal model; this enables an alternative realization of the Youla-Kucera parameterization based entirely on input-output exploration data. Using a neural network to express a parameterized set of nonlinear stable operators enables seamless integration with standard deep learning libraries. We demonstrate the approach on a realistic simulation of a two-tank system.
