description: Camera pose estimation is an important problem in computer vision. Common techniques either match the current image against keyframes with known poses, directly regress the pose, or establish correspondences between keypoints in the image and points in the scene to estimate the pose. In recent years, regression forests have become a popular alternative to establish such correspondences. They achieve accurate results, but have traditionally needed to be trained offline on the target scene, preventing relocalisation in new environments. Recently, we showed how to circumvent this limitation by adapting a pre-trained forest to a new scene on the fly. The adapted forests achieved relocalisation performance that was on par with that of offline forests, and our approach was able to estimate the camera pose in close to real time. In this paper, we present an extension of this work that achieves significantly better relocalisation performance whilst running fully in real time. To achieve this, we make several changes to the original approach: (i) instead of accepting the camera pose hypothesis without question, we make it possible to score the final few hypotheses using a geometric approach and select the most promising; (ii) we chain several instantiations of our relocaliser together in a cascade, allowing us to try faster but less accurate relocalisation first, only falling back to slower, more accurate relocalisation as necessary; and (iii) we tune the parameters of our cascade to achieve effective overall performance. These changes allow us to significantly improve upon the performance our original state-of-the-art method was able to achieve on the well-known 7-Scenes and Stanford 4 Scenes benchmarks. As additional contributions, we present a way of visualising the internal behaviour of our forests and show how to entirely circumvent the need to pre-train a forest on a generic scene.

Η βιομηχανική μονάδα συσκευασίας τυροκομικών επιλέχθηκε, γιατί είναι η μοναδική στο είδος της στην Αττική που ασχολείται αποκλειστικά με τη συσκευασία τυροκομικών κι όχι κάποιου άλλου είδους μορφή συσκευασίας, με όμοια στο είδος της να βρίσκεται στον Βόλο. Στην «ΑΝΩΝΥΜΗ Α.Ε.» έγινε αξιολόγηση των περιβαλλοντικών συνθηκών που εργάζεται το προσωπικό της και τα αποτελέσματά της θα αναλυθούν παρακάτω. Τέλος, σημαντικό μέρος της μελέτης αποτελούν οι μελλοντικές προτάσεις για βελτίωση των περιβαλλοντικών συνθηκών της εταιρείας συσκευασίας τυριών «ΑΝΩΝΥΜΗ Α.Ε.», όπως είναι οι μετρήσεις ακριβείας του θορύβου κι η απομόνωση των γραφείων του διοικητικού προσωπικού από τις εστίες θορύβου για την καλύτερη απόδοση των εργαζομένων της.

description: In this paper, we introduce Adversarial-and-attention Network (A3Net) for Machine Reading Comprehension. This model extends existing approaches from two perspectives. First, adversarial training is applied to several target variables within the model, rather than only to the inputs or embeddings. We control the norm of adversarial perturbations according to the norm of original target variables, so that we can jointly add perturbations to several target variables during training. As an effective regularization method, adversarial training improves robustness and generalization of our model. Second, we propose a multi-layer attention network utilizing three kinds of high-efficiency attention mechanisms. Multi-layer attention conducts interaction between question and passage within each layer, which contributes to reasonable representation and understanding of the model. Combining these two contributions, we enhance the diversity of dataset and the information extracting ability of the model at the same time. Meanwhile, we construct A3Net for the WebQA dataset. Results show that our model outperforms the state-of-the-art models (improving Fuzzy Score from 73.50% to 77.0%).

description: Introduction: In the last decade, substantial improvements in the understanding of the biology of multiple myeloma and the development of novel therapeutic options have led to increased response rates, progression free survival and overall survival. In underdeveloped countries, it is a huge challenge to adapt for this evolution, both in diagnostic and therapeutic aspects. Methods: We conducted a retrospective, national analysis of all patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma in a recent period. Diagnostic and prognostic evaluation is carried out according to international recommendations in the majority of patients. Results: The clinical presentation at diagnosis is similar to those reported internationally, although with higher rates of anemia and severe renal failure. Most patients were diagnosed in advanced Durie–Salmon stage (80%), with high ISS score (48% ISS 3). Treatment, both in candidates and non-candidates for transplantation, is conditioned by a limited supply of possibilities, scarce availability of new drugs and absence of clinical trials. This determines lower results in response depth and survival. At 32 months, overall survival was 61.8%, with a statistical difference in favor of younger patients, standard-risk MM and those treated with novel drugs. No patient received antibacterial or antifungal prophylaxis while the majority received adequate antiviral prophylaxis. Infections were the main cause of death (29.7%), overcoming the disease itself. Conclusions: This analysis allows us to raise awareness about strengths and weaknesses in our management of MM patients. There is a need to promote earlier detection, improve supportive care and reduce infection mortality. Greater availability of evidence-based recommended treatment options is required. Access to clinical trials is warranted if care is to be improved.

description: Web developers routinely rely on third-party Java-Script libraries such as jQuery to enhance the functionality of their sites. However, if not properly maintained, such dependencies can create attack vectors allowing a site to be compromised. In this paper, we conduct the first comprehensive study of client-side JavaScript library usage and the resulting security implications across the Web. Using data from over 133 k websites, we show that 37% of them include at least one library with a known vulnerability; the time lag behind the newest release of a library is measured in the order of years. In order to better understand why websites use so many vulnerable or outdated libraries, we track causal inclusion relationships and quantify different scenarios. We observe sites including libraries in ad hoc and often transitive ways, which can lead to different versions of the same library being loaded into the same document at the same time. Furthermore, we find that libraries included transitively, or via ad and tracking code, are more likely to be vulnerable. This demonstrates that not only website administrators, but also the dynamic architecture and developers of third-party services are to blame for the Web's poor state of library management. The results of our work underline the need for more thorough approaches to dependency management, code maintenance and third-party code inclusion on the Web.

description: The dynamics of relativistic stars and black holes are often studied in terms of the quasinormal modes (QNM's) of the Klein-Gordon (KG) equation with different effective potentials $V(x)$. In this paper we present a systematic study of the relation between the structure of the QNM's of the KG equation and the form of $V(x)$. In particular, we determine the requirements on $V(x)$ in order for the QNM's to form complete sets, and discuss in what sense they form complete sets. Among other implications, this study opens up the possibility of using QNM expansions to analyse the behavior of waves in relativistic systems, even for systems whose QNM's do {\it not} form a complete set. For such systems, we show that a complete set of QNM's can often be obtained by introducing an infinitesimal change in the effective potential.

description: Bars are a key factor in the long-term evolution of spiral galaxies, in their unique role in redistributing angular momentum and transporting gas and stars on large scales. The Eris-suite simulations are cosmological zoom-in, N-body, smoothed-particle hydrodynamic simulations built to follow the formation and evolution of a Milky Way-sized galaxy across the build-up of the large scale structure. Here we analyse and describe the outcome of two particular simulations taken from the Eris suite - ErisBH and Eris2k - which mainly differ in the prescriptions employed for gas cooling, star formation, and feedback from supernovae and black holes. Our study shows that the enhanced effective feedback in Eris2k, due to the collective effect of the different micro-physics implementations, results in a galaxy which is less massive than its ErisBH counterpart till z~1. However, when the stellar content is large enough so that global dynamical instabilities can be triggered, the galaxy in Eris2k develops a stronger and more extended bar with respect to ErisBH. We demonstrate that he structural properties and time evolution of the two bars are very different. Our results highlight the importance of accurate sub-grid prescriptions in cosmological zoom-in simulations of the process of galaxy formation and evolution, and the possible use of a statistical sample of barred galaxies to assess the strength of the stellar feedback.

description: Stimuli-responsive nanotherapeutics hold great promise in precision oncology. In this study, a facile strategy was used to develop a new class of pH-responsive micelles, which contain methoxy polyethylene glycol (mPEG) and poly(carbobenzoxy-l-glutamic acid, BLG) as amphiphilic copolymer, and β-thiopropionate as acid-labile linkage. The mPEG-S-PBLG copolymer was synthesized through one-step ring-opening polymerization (ROP) and thiol-ene click reaction, and was able to efficiently encapsulate doxorubicin (DOX) to form micelles. The physicochemical characteristics, cellular uptake, tumor targeting, and anti-tumor efficacy of DOX-loaded micelles were investigated. DOX-loaded micelles were stable under physiological conditions and disintegrated under acidic conditions. DOX-loaded micelles can be internalized into cancer cells and release drugs in response to low pH in endosomes/lysosomes, resulting in cell death. Furthermore, the micellar formulation significantly prolonged the blood circulation, reduced the cardiac distribution, and selectively delivered more drugs to tumor tissue. Finally, compared with free DOX, DOX-loaded micelles significantly improved the anti-tumor efficacy and reduced systemic and cardiac toxicity in two different tumor xenograft models. These results suggest that mPEG-S-PBLG micelles have translational potential in the precise delivery of anti-cancer drugs.

description: Die heiße Verarbeitung von trocken gelöschtem Kalkmörtel in der Löschphase ist ein traditionelles Verfahren, welches nur noch von wenigen Handwerkern beherrscht und ausgeführt wird. Gerade im Bereich der Denkmalpflege und Restaurierung erscheint die Heißkalktechnik jedoch eine Möglichkeit zu bieten, auch ohne Zusatz von hydraulischen Bestandteilen (Zement oder Trass) anspruchsvolle Bauaufgaben lösen zu können. Es fehlte bisher jedoch an systematischen Untersuchungen zu dieser Technik, die es den Handwerkern erlauben, über ihre empirischen Erfahrungen hinaus die applizierten Kalkmörtel zu beschreiben. Ebenso fehlten Materialkennwerte, die es den Fachplanern ermöglichen Kalkmörtel in Heißkalktechnik zu bewerten und damit gezielter in die Planung mit einbeziehen zu können. Ein wichtiges Ziel des Projektes war darüber hinaus die Erstellung und Erprobung eines Weiterbildungskonzeptes um die Heißkalktechnik bekannter zu machen und Handwerker und Restauratoren in der Technik zu schulen. Neben dem erarbeiteten Workshop-Konzept, das auch über die Projektlaufzeit hinaus der Fachöffentlichkeit angeboten wird, konnten wichtige Materialparameter für Heißkalkmörtel erfasst und der Erfolg bestehender Restaurierungen evaluiert werden. Es muss einschränkend gesagt werden, dass die erhobenen Materialkennwerte nur für die im Projekt untersuchten Mischungen gelten können. Im Laufe des Projektes hat es sich herausgestellt, dass Heißkalkmörtel sehr empfindlich auf kleinste Änderungen in der Rezeptur und in den Verarbeitungsbedingungen reagieren. Für die untersuchten Mörtel, die vergleichend heiß und „kalt“ verarbeitet wurden, kann jedoch eine höhere Frühfestigkeit und zumindest im Labormaßstab im Endeffekt höhere Festigkeit, eine bessere Haftung, ein stärkeres kapillares Saugen und eine bessere Salzbeständigkeit bei den Heißkalkmörteln festgestellt werden.

title: Investigating the spatial distribution of the super-relaxed state of myosin in cardiac myofibrils using single-molecule microscopy
Creators: name: Naim, Ateeqa
Publisher: name: University of Kent

description: Muscle contraction is a mechanism regulated primarily by the thick and thin filaments of the sarcomere, the smallest contractile unit of the muscle. Using single-molecule imaging we were able to investigate the ATP turnover rates of SRX myosin, a myosin state understood to be essential for maintaining contractile regulation. Our results revealed ATP turnover rates for the SRX state of myosin of ~ 0.006 s -1, consistent with literature. We also developed a high-resolution imaging technique to spatially resolve ATP binding events, creating a map of myosin activity across the sarcomere. Our findings confirm the precision of these techniques and the potential for their use in providing a deeper understanding of contractile regulation within the cardiac myofibril. This work also provides the foundation for the comparison of ATP turnover rates and distribution of SRX myosin in cardiomyopathy mutated samples.

description: We present a comprehensive analysis of the Non-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (NMSSM) for large values of $\tanβ$, the ratio of the vacuum expectation values of the two Higgs doublets, which arise when we impose the constraint of the unification of Yukawa couplings in the model. In this limit we show that the vacuum expectation value of the singlet is forced to be large, of the order of $10$ TeV. The singlet decouples from the lightest CP-even neutral Higgs boson and the neutralinos. We compare our results with the corresponding particle spectrum of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model in the same limit. With the exception of the lightest Higgs boson, the particle spectrum in the model turns out to be heavy. The Higgs boson mass, after the inclusion of radiative corrections, is found to be in the neighbourhood of $\sim 130$ GeV.

description: We report the discovery of NGTS-4b, a sub-Neptune-sized planet transiting a 13th magnitude K-dwarf in a 1.34d orbit. NGTS-4b has a mass M=$20.6\pm3.0$M_E and radius R=$3.18\pm0.26$R_E, which places it well within the so-called "Neptunian Desert". The mean density of the planet ($3.45\pm0.95$g/cm^3) is consistent with a composition of 100% H$_2$O or a rocky core with a volatile envelope. NGTS-4b is likely to suffer significant mass loss due to relatively strong EUV/X-ray irradiation. Its survival in the Neptunian desert may be due to an unusually high core mass, or it may have avoided the most intense X-ray irradiation by migrating after the initial activity of its host star had subsided. With a transit depth of $0.13\pm0.02$%, NGTS-4b represents the shallowest transiting system ever discovered from the ground, and is the smallest planet discovered in a wide-field ground-based photometric survey.

description: We analytically work out the orbital effects induced by the gravitomagnetic spin-octupole moment of an extended spheroidal rotating body endowed with angular momentum $\boldsymbol{S}$ and quadrupole mass moment $J_2$. Our results, proportional to $S J_2 c^{-2}$, hold for an arbitrary orientation of the body's symmetry axis $\boldsymbol{\hat{S}}$ and a generic orbital configuration of the test particle. Such effects may be measurable, in principle, with a dedicated spacecraft-based mission to Jupiter. For a moderately eccentric and fast path, the gravitomagnetic precessions of the node and the pericenter of a dedicated orbiter could be as large as $400~\textrm{milliarcseconds~per~year}$ or even $1,600-4,000~\textrm{milliarcseconds~per~year}$ depending on the orientation of its orbital plane in space. Numerical simulations of the Earth-probe range-rate signal confirm such expectations since its magnitude reaches the $\simeq 0.03-0.3~\textrm{millimeter~per~second}$ level after just 1 day. The precision of the current two-way Ka-band Doppler measurements of the spacecraft Juno, presently orbiting Jupiter, amounts to $\simeq 0.003~\textrm{millimeter~per~second}$ after $1,000$ seconds. Also other general relativistic effects could be measurable, including also those proportional to $GMJ_2c^{-2}$, never put to the test so far. Most of the competing Newtonian signals due to the classical multipoles of the planet's gravity field have quite different temporal signatures with respect to the post-Newtonian ones, making, thus, potentially easier disentangling them.

description: Secure group-oriented communication is crucial to a wide range of applications in Internet of Things (IoT). Security problems related to group-oriented communications in IoT-based applications placed in a privacy-sensitive environment have become a major concern along with the development of the technology. Unfortunately, many IoT devices are designed to be portable and light-weight; thus, their functionalities, including security modules, are heavily constrained by the limited energy resources (e.g., battery capacity). To address these problems, we propose a group key management scheme based on a novel physically unclonable function (PUF) design: multistage interconnected PUF (MIPUF) to secure group communications in an energy-constrained environment. Our design is capable of performing key management tasks such as key distribution, key storage and rekeying securely and efficiently. We show that our design is secure against multiple attack methods and our experimental results show that our design saves 47.33% of energy globally comparing to state-of-the-art Elliptic-curve cryptography (ECC)-based key management scheme on average.

description: Rural housing development is a cornerstone of community growth, and in many instances, the financial resources for such projects are intricately tied to the accumulated wealth of farming families. This wealth, often derived from years of crop cultivation and income from migrant work, forms the primary funding source for constructing houses in rural areas. However, the substantial expenses associated with building houses not only deplete the capital reserves of farmers but also plunge them into new debts. Consequently, the financial strain becomes a significant hurdle, leading to the suspension of various rural construction projects due to insufficient funds. This paper delves into the economic challenges faced by rural communities in financing housing projects, highlighting the adverse consequences of high construction costs and the resulting accumulation of debt. Through a nuanced examination of this financial conundrum, the study aims to shed light on potential solutions and policy interventions to facilitate sustainable rural housing development

description: Relative Path Overwrite (RPO) is a recent technique to inject style directives into sites even when no style sink or markup injection vulnerability is present. It exploits differences in how browsers and web servers interpret relative paths (i.e., path confusion) to make a HTML page reference itself as a stylesheet; a simple text injection vulnerability along with browsers' leniency in parsing CSS resources results in an attacker's ability to inject style directives that will be interpreted by the browser. Even though style injection may appear less serious a threat than script injection, it has been shown that it enables a range of attacks, including secret exfiltration. In this paper, we present the first large-scale study of the Web to measure the prevalence and significance of style injection using RPO. Our work shows that around 9% of the sites in the Alexa Top 10,000 contain at least one vulnerable page, out of which more than one third can be exploited. We analyze in detail various impediments to successful exploitation, and make recommendations for remediation. In contrast to script injection, relatively simple countermeasures exist to mitigate style injection. However, there appears to be little awareness of this attack vector as evidenced by a range of popular Content Management Systems (CMSes) that we found to be exploitable.

description: Background: Development of albuminuria and arterial stiffness in Munich Wistar Fromter (MWF) rats, a model of chronic kidney disease, is related to alterations in extracellular matrix, increased oxidative stress, and endothelial dysfunction. Finerenone (FIN), a novel, nonsteroidal, potent, and selective mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist, improves endothelial dysfunction through enhancing nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability and decreasing superoxide anion levels due to an upregulation in vascular and renal superoxide dismutase activity. We hypothesize that FIN reduces arterial stiffness in this model associated to the reduction in albuminuria and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2/9 activity. Methods: Twelve-week-old MWF rats with established albuminuria and age-matched normoalbuminuric Wistar (W) rats were treated with FIN (10 mg/kg/day, once-daily oral gavage) or with vehicle (control, C) for 4 weeks. Results: Arterial stiffness was significantly higher in mesenteric arteries (MA) of MWF-C as compared to W-C. FIN treatment significantly lowered β-index, a measure of intrinsic stiffness independent of geometry, in MWF (βMWF-FIN = 7.7 ± 0.4 vs. βMWF-C = 9.2 ± 0.5, p < 0.05) positively correlating with urinary albumin excretion. Elastin fenestrae area in the internal elastic lamina of MA from MWF-FIN was significantly larger (+377%, p < 0.05). FIN increased plasma pro-MMP-2 and decreased plasma MMP-2 and MMP-9 activities, correlating with reductions in β-index. MA from MWF-FIN exhibited higher NO bioavailability and reduced superoxide anion levels compared to MWF-C. Conclusion: FIN treatment reduces intrinsic arterial stiffness in MA from MWF rats associated with changes in elastin organization, normalization of MMP-2 and MMP-9 activities, and reduction of oxidative stress. Moreover, reduction of arterial stiffness correlates with reduction in albuminuria.

description: Quantitative studies of mesenchymal cell motion are important to elucidate cytoskeleton function and mechanisms of cell migration. To this end, confinement of cell motion to one dimension (1D) significantly simplifies the problem of cell shape in experimental and theoretical investigations. Here we review 1D migration assays employing micro-fabricated lanes and reflect on the advantages of such platforms. Data are analyzed using biophysical models of cell migration that reproduce the rich scenario of morphodynamic behavior found in 1D. We describe basic model assumptions and model behavior. It appears that mechanical models explain the occurrence of universal relations conserved across different cell lines such as the adhesion-velocity relation and the universal correlation between speed and persistence (UCSP). We highlight the unique opportunity of reproducible and standardized 1D assays to validate theory based on statistical measures from large data of trajectories and discuss the potential of experimental settings embedding controlled perturbations to probe response in migratory behavior.

description: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the most common complications after cardiac surgery. However, effective biomarker used for early diagnosis of AKI has not been identified. Platelet-leukocyte aggregates (PLAs) participate in inflammation and coagulation, leading to vascular lesions and tissue destruction. We designed a prospective study to assess whether PLAs can serve as a good biomarker for early diagnosis of AKI after cardiac surgery. Patients with rheumatic heart disease scheduled to undergo valve replacement surgery were enrolled. Blood samples were collected at five timepoints as follows: (a) At baseline. (b) At the end of extracorporeal circulation. (c) Arrival at intensive care unit (ICU). (d) Four-hours after the admission to ICU. (e) Twenty hours after the admission to ICU. After collection, the samples were immediately used for PLAs measurement by flow cytometry. A total of 244 patients were registered, and 15 of them were diagnosed with AKI according to the serum creatinine of KDIGO guidelines. The PLAs levels in AKI group were significantly increased 20 h after surgery (two-way repeated measure analysis of variance, p < 0.01) compared with that at baseline. Patients whose preoperative PLAs were higher than 6.8% showed increased risk of developing AKI (multivariate logistic regression; p = 0.01; adjusted odds ratio, 1.05; 95% confidence interval, 1.01–1.09). PLAs is an independent risk factor for AKI after valve replacement among patients with rheumatic heart disease.

description: Recently, there have been reports that the chirally restored phase of QCD is effectively symmetric under $U(N_f) \times U(N_f)$ rather than $SU(N_f)\times SU(N_f)$. We supplement their argument by including the contributions from topologically nontrivial gauge field configurations and discuss how the conclusions are modified. General statements are made concerning the particle spectrum of QCD with light $N_f$ flavors in the high temperature chirally restored phase.
