description: User targeting, the process of selecting targeted users from a pool of candidates for non-expert marketers, has garnered substantial attention with the advancements in digital marketing. However, existing user targeting methods encounter two significant challenges: (i) Poor cross-domain and cross-scenario transferability and generalization, and (ii) Insufficient forecastability in real-world applications. These limitations hinder their applicability across diverse industrial scenarios. In this work, we propose FOUND, an industrial-grade, transferable, and forecastable user targeting foundation model. To enhance cross-domain transferability, our framework integrates heterogeneous multi-scenario user data, aligning them with one-sentence targeting demand inputs through contrastive pre-training. For improved forecastability, the text description of each user is derived based on anticipated future behaviors, while user representations are constructed from historical information. Experimental results demonstrate that our approach significantly outperforms existing baselines in cross-domain, real-world user targeting scenarios, showcasing the superior capabilities of FOUND. Moreover, our method has been successfully deployed on the Alipay platform and is widely utilized across various scenarios.

description: We study numerically the dynamical properties of the BTW model on a square lattice for various dimensions. The aim of this investigation is to determine the value of the upper critical dimension where the avalanche distributions are characterized by the mean-field exponents. Our results are consistent with the assumption that the scaling behavior of the four-dimensional BTW model is characterized by the mean-field exponents with additional logarithmic corrections. We benefit in our analysis from the exact solution of the directed BTW model at the upper critical dimension which allows to derive how logarithmic corrections affect the scaling behavior at the upper critical dimension. Similar logarithmic corrections forms fit the numerical data for the four-dimensional BTW model, strongly suggesting that the value of the upper critical dimension is four.

description: AbstractBackground: Mothers are important mediators of children’s physical activity (PA) level and risk of obesity, howeverprevious studies of maternal perceptions of child PA have been limited. Furthermore, it is unknown if maternalperceptions of child PA are predicted by family, mother and child characteristics. Therefore objectives of this studywere to 1) evaluate maternal perceptions of PA in their children and 2) test associations of family, mother and childcharacteristics with these perceptions.Methods: 278 low-income mothers of children (mean age 70.9 months) participated in an audio-tapedsemi-structured interview. Transcripts were systematically analyzed using the constant comparative method andthemes were generated. A coding scheme to classify the themes appearing in each transcript was developed andreliably applied. Anthropometrics were measured. Demographics and questionnaires (the Confusion, Hubbub andOrder Scale, The Parenting Scale, and the Child Behavior Questionnaire (CBQ)) were collected. Logistic regressionmodels were used to test the associations of family, mother and child characteristics with each theme.Results: In this sample of low-income United States mothers, two themes emerged: 1) Mothers perceive theirchildren as already very active (87.8 %, n = 244), predicted by the child being younger, the child not beingoverweight, and higher child CBQ Activity Level; and 2) Mothers view their children’s high activity level asproblematic (27.0 %, n = 75), predicted by lower Parenting Laxness, the child being male and lower child CBQInhibitory Control.Conclusions: Low-income United States mothers have unique perceptions of PA in their children; these beliefs areassociated with characteristics of the child and mother but not characteristics of the family. Further understandingof contributors to maternal perceptions of child PA may inform future childhood obesity interventions. Theinfluence of these perceptions on physical activity outcomes in low-income children should be pursued in futureresearch.

description: In contrast to graph-based models for complex networks, hypergraphs are more general structures going beyond binary relations of graphs. For graphs, statistics gauging different aspects of their structures have been devised and there is undergoing research for devising them for hypergraphs. Forman-Ricci curvature is a statistics for graphs, which is based on Riemannian geometry, and that stresses the relational character of vertices in a network through the analysis of edges rather than vertices. In spite of the different applications of this curvature, it has not yet been formulated for hypergraphs. Here we devise the Forman-Ricci curvature for directed and undirected hypergraphs, where the curvature for graphs is a particular case. We report its upper and lower bounds and the respective bounds for the graph case. The curvature quantifies the trade-off between hyperedge(arc) size and the degree of participation of hyperedge(arc) vertices in other hyperedges(arcs). We calculated the curvature for two large networks: Wikipedia vote network and \emph{Escherichia coli} metabolic network. In the first case the curvature is ruled by hyperedge size, while in the second by hyperedge degree. We found that the number of users involved in Wikipedia elections goes hand-in-hand with the participation of experienced users. The curvature values of the metabolic network allowed detecting redundant and bottle neck reactions. It is found that ADP phosphorilation is the metabolic bottle neck reaction but that the reverse reaction is not that central for the metabolism.

description: Recently, we have argued that experimental data on superfluid density and terahertz conductivity of overdoped LSCO are compatible with a Landau Fermi liquid/Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer description of these samples, provided dopants are treated within "dirty $d$-wave theory" as weak scatterers. Here we test these ideas by comparing to specific heat and thermal conductivity data on LSCO, showing that the theory works extremely well across the overdoped region for similar disorder parameters. We then study the same properties in another overdoped cuprate, Tl-2201, thought to be quite "clean" since it exhibits quantum oscillations, low residual resistivities and small superconducting state Sommerfeld coefficients. Our results are consistent with the Tl-2201 system being $\approx 3$ times cleaner due in part to the dopant atoms' being located further from the CuO$_2$ plane. We conclude that cuprates can be described semiquantitatively in the overdoped regime by "dirty $d$-wave" theory, subject to significant Fermi liquid renormalizations, without introducing physics beyond the Landau-BCS paradigm.

description: The integrated photonics CMOS-compatible silicon nitride (SiN) platform is praised for its low propagation loss, but is limited by its lack of active functionalities such as a strong Pockels coefficient and intrinsic \c{hi}(2) nonlinearity. In this paper, we demonstrate the integration of centimetre-long thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN) devices on a SiN platform using the micro-transfer printing (uTP) method. At a wavelength of 1550 nm, propagation losses of approximately 0.9 dB/cm and transition losses of 1.8 dB per facet were measured. Furthermore, the TFLN was integrated into an imbalanced push-pull Mach-Zehnder modulator, achieving a Vπ of 3.2 V. The electro-optics nature of the observed modulation is confirmed by measuring the device up to 35 GHz, showing that the printing does not affect the high-speed LN properties.

description: If one places N cities on a continuum in an unit area, extensive numerical results and their analysis (scaling, etc.) suggest that the best normalized optimal travel distance becomes 0.72 for the Euclidean metric and 0.92 for the Manhattan metric. The analytic bounds, we discuss here, give 0.5 and 0.92 as the lower and upper bounds for the Euclidean metric, and 0.64 and 1.17 for the Manhattan metric. When the cities are randomly placed on a lattice with concentration p, we find that the normalized optimal travel distance vary monotonically with p. For p=1, the values in both Euclidean and Manhattan metric are 1, and as p tends to zero, the values are 0.72 and 0.92 in the Euclidean and Manhattan metrics respectively.The problem is trivial for p=1 but it reduces to the continuum TSP as p tends to zero. We do not get any irregular behaviour at any intermediate point, e.g., the percolation point. The crossover from the triviality to the NP- hard problem seems to occur at p<1.

description: Dictyostelium discoideum (D.d.) is a widely studied amoeba due to its capabilities of development, survival, and self-organization. During aggregation it produces and relays a chemical signal (cAMP) which shows spirals and target centers. Nevertheless, the natural emergence of these structures is still not well understood. We present a mechanism for creation of centers and target waves of cAMP in D.d. by adding cell inhomogeneity to a well known reaction-diffusion model of cAMP waves and we characterize its properties. We show how stable activity centers appear spontaneously in areas of higher cell density with the oscillation frequency of these centers depending on their density. The cAMP waves have the characteristic dispersion relation of trigger waves and a velocity which increases with cell density. Chemotactically competent cells react to these waves and create aggregation streams even with very simple movement rules. Finally we argue in favor of the existence of bounded phosphodiesterase to maintain the wave properties once small cell clusters appear.

description: The dilational viscosity $ε'$ of Langmuir monolayer is considered in a theoretical model taking into account an orientational effect of the dilational wave on surface molecules. This orientational order is described by the surface order parameter Q; the orientational part of the free surface energy is given by Landau's expansion in powers of Q. The magnitude of surface viscosity, driven by the surface tension derivative $\partialγ/\partial Q$, is in good accord with the experimentally observed $ε'$. The sign of $ε'$ is positive that indicates that increased in-plane ordering increases the surface tension.

description: Frogs and toads (Anura) exhibit some of the most diverse parental strategies in vertebrates. Identifying the evolutionary origins of parenting is fundamental to understanding the relationships between sexual selection, social evolution and parental care systems of contemporary Anura. Moreover, parenting has been hypothesized to allow the invasion of terrestrial habitats by the ancestors of terrestrial vertebrates. Using comprehensive phylogenetic analyses of frogs and toads based on data from over 1000 species that represent 46 out of 55 Anura families, we test whether parental care is associated with terrestrial reproduction and several life-history traits. Here, we show that both the duration of care and offspring protection by males and females have coevolved with terrestrial reproduction. Sexual size dimorphism is also related to care, because the large male size relative to female size is associated with increased paternal care. Furthermore, increased egg size and reduced clutch volume are associated with increased care in bivariate but not in multivariate analyses, suggesting that the relationships between care, egg size and clutch volume are mediated by terrestrial reproduction. Taken together, our results suggest that parenting by males and females has coevolved, and complex parenting traits have evolved several times independently in Anura in response to breeding in terrestrial environments.

description: Using a hybrid approach based on a phenomenological heavy-quark potential model and the background field effective theory, we assess the influence of a nontrivial Polyakov loop on the in-medium properties of the heavy quarkonium states. Without resorting to any temperature-dependent parameter, the lattice simulations on the complex heavy-quark potential are well reproduced with the potential model in which the screening masses are determined by the background field effective theory. Due to the reduced screening strength near the deconfining temperature, a nontrivial Polyakov loop leads to a dramatic increase in the binding energies, together with a moderate decrease in the decay widths. In general, a more tightly bounded quarkonium state can be expected, although the increase in the dissociation temperatures is significant only for relatively large-size bounded states. Our results indicate that the background field modification on the binding and decay of the quarkonium states may have a notable impact on the density evolution of quarkonia during the expansion of the fireball, and thus on the final observed quarkonium spectra.

description: The distinction between point and line resolution in transmission electron microscopy (TEM) arises because an ability to image sub-0.2 nm fringes is a necessary, but not a sufficient, condition for imaging individual atoms. In scanned tip microscopy, as in TEM, empirical data on instrument response should precede assertions about point resolution. In the ``slow scan limit'', time-domain noise and geometry effects decouple, and tip shape can take on the role of a 2-dimensional impulse response function. We indicate here that nuclear track pits can be used to quantitatively measure tip geometry with nanometer-scale resolution in three dimensions, that stationary tip images provide a robust measure of time-domain instabilities, and that when these data are taken before and after imaging an unknown, images with instrument response quantitatively constrained by experiment are possible. Specimen-induced tip effects also become measurable in situ.

description: There have been several theoretical frameworks that acknowledge trust as a prime mediator between system characteristics and automation reliance. Some researchers have operationally defined trust as the behavior exhibited. Other researchers have suggested that although trust may guide operator response behaviors, trust does not completely determine the behavior and advocate the use of subjective measures of trust. Recently, several studies accounting for temporal precedence failed to confirm that trust mediated the relationship between system characteristics and response behavior. The purpose of the current work was to clarify the roles that trust plays in response behavior when interacting with a signaling system. Forty-four participants interacted with a primary flight simulation task and a secondary signaling system task. The signaling system varied in reliability (90% and 60%) within subjects and error bias (false alarm prone and miss prone) between subjects. Analyses indicated that trust partially mediated the relationship between reliability and agreement rate. Trust did not, however, mediate the relationship between reliability and reaction time. Trust also did not mediate the relationships between error bias and reaction time or agreement rate. Analyses of variance generally supported specific behavioral and trust hypotheses, indicating that the paradigm employed produced similar effects on response behaviors and subjective estimates of trust observed in other studies. The results of this study indicate that other mediating variables may offer more predictive power in determining response behaviors. Additionally, strong assumptions of trust acting as the prime mediator and operationally defining trust as a type of behavior should be viewed with caution.

description: Targeted delivery of antitumor drugs is especially important for tumour therapy. Tumour targeting peptides have been shown to be very effective drug carriers for tumour therapy. Interleukin-4 receptor (IL-4R) is overexpressed on the surface of various human solid tumours. To obtain a better targeting peptide, we first designed a novel targeting peptide derived from interleukin-4 (IL-4), ILBP-b. ILBP-b contains the key high-affinity binding residue E9 of IL-4 to IL-4R. Compared with a reported targeting peptide ILBP-a (containing another key high affinity residue R88), ILBP-b was proved to be a better targeting peptide by the fluorescence experiments. Then, we further fused ILBP-b and ILBP-a to increase the multisite-binding ability of ILBP-b and got a better targeting peptide ILBP-ba. ILBP-ba showed a stronger preferential binding ability to IL-4R high-expressing cells than ILBP-a and ILBP-b. Competitive binding experiments demonstrated ILBP-ba specifically targets IL-4R. By fusing ILBP-ba with drug protein trichosanthin (TCS), in vitro drug carrying experiments showed that ILBP-ba could specifically enhance the killing effect of TCS on IL-4R high-expressing tumour cells (more than 10 folds). These results indicated that ILBP-ba has great potential for drug delivery applications targeting IL-4R and will be beneficial for the development of tumour therapeutic agents.

description: In this diploma thesis the floating equilibrium of solid prisms of rectangular cross section floating in a liquid and being merely under the effect of the forces of gravity and buoyancy (static stability) is investigated. In this problem the crucial effect of the dynamic parameters of the solid-liquid specific mass ratio, the aspect ratio of the cross section of the solid and the homogeneity of the solid is indicated. The phenomenon is initially approached geometrically, figuring the analytical exressions of righting arm and then the principle of maximum/minimum energy is applied. In this way, the regions of stable/unstable equilibrium, some very interesting dynamic responses and the significant "breaking of symmetry" are detected. Finally, the experimental results of a relevant experiment made are displayed and compared to the theoretical ones.

The objective of our study was to assess the prevalence of subclinical mastitis and the knowledge of risk factors in ninety-two dairy farms in the wilaya of Skikda. Screening results revealed that 404 dairy cows (67.2%) had subclinical mastitis; while 1055 quarters (44.8%) tested positive for CMT. It should be noted that this prevalence of subclinical mastitis is predominant at the end of lactation on the one hand and that the posterior quarters have the frequencies of the highest positive scores compared to the anterior quarters on the other hand. The results of the CMT test indicate a high prevalence of subclinical mastitis in the study area. This finding reveals both factors related to the animal (stage and lactation rank, breed) and factors related to the animal’s environment (hygiene of housing and milking dairy cows and maintenance of milking equipment). Screening for subclinical mastitis must always be an integrated action in the health plan of dairy farms.

description: This review addresses recent developments in nonequilibrium statistical physics. Focusing on phase transitions from fluctuating phases into absorbing states, the universality class of directed percolation is investigated in detail. The survey gives a general introduction to various lattice models of directed percolation and studies their scaling properties, field-theoretic aspects, numerical techniques, as well as possible experimental realizations. In addition, several examples of absorbing-state transitions which do not belong to the directed percolation universality class will be discussed. As a closely related technique, we investigate the concept of damage spreading. It is shown that this technique is ambiguous to some extent, making it impossible to define chaotic and regular phases in stochastic nonequilibrium systems. Finally, we discuss various classes of depinning transitions in models for interface growth which are related to phase transitions into absorbing states.

description: We report the structural and magnetic properties of a new system LiRhMnO$_{4}$ (LRMO) through x-ray diffraction, bulk magnetization, heat capacity and $^{7}$Li nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements. LRMO crystallizes in the cubic space group $\mathit{Fd}$$\bar{3}$$\mathit{m}$. From the DC susceptibility data, we obtained the Curie-Weiss temperature $\mathrmθ_{\mathrm{CW}}$ = -26 K and Curie constant $\mathit{C}$ = 1.79 Kcm$^{3}$/mol suggesting antiferromagnetic correlations among the magnetic Mn$^{4+}$ ions with an effective spin $\mathit{S}$ = $\frac{3}{2}$. At $\mathit{H}$ = 50 Oe, the field cooled and zero-field cooled magnetizations bifurcate at a freezing temperature, $T_{f}$ = 4.45 K, which yields the frustration parameter $\mathit{f=\frac{\midθ_{CW}\mid}{T_{f}}}>$5. AC susceptibility, shows a cusp-like peak at around $T_{f}$, with the peak position shifting as a function of the driving frequency, confirming a spin-glass-like transition in LRMO. LRMO also shows typical spin-glass characteristics such as memory effect, aging effect and relaxation. In the heat capacity, there is no sharp anomaly down to 2 K indicative of long-range ordering. The field sweep $^{7}$Li NMR spectra show broadening with decreasing temperature without any spectral line shift. The $^{7}$Li NMR spin-lattice and spin-spin relaxation rates also show anomalies due to spin freezing near $T_{f}$.

description: Post-disaster assessments of buildings and infrastructure are crucial for both immediate recovery efforts and long-term resilience planning. This research introduces an innovative approach to automating post-disaster assessments through advanced deep learning models. Our proposed system employs state-of-the-art computer vision techniques (YOLOv11 and ResNet50) to rapidly analyze images and videos from disaster sites, extracting critical information about building characteristics, including damage level of structural components and the extent of damage. Our experimental results show promising performance, with ResNet50 achieving 90.28% accuracy and an inference time of 1529ms per image on multiclass damage classification. This study contributes to the field of disaster management by offering a scalable, efficient, and objective tool for post-disaster analysis, potentially capable of transforming how communities and authorities respond to and learn from catastrophic events.

EFFECT OF DIETARY SUPPLEMENTATION OF CARROT (DAUCUS CAROTA), A CAROTENOID SOURCE, ON GROWTH, SURVIVAL AND PIGMENTATION OF FRESHWATER ORNAMENTAL FISH, ORANGE MOLLY (POECILIA SPHENOPS, VALENCIENNES, 1846)

description: Daucus carota (Carrot) peel, a protein-carotenoids complex, can provide antioxidants and carotenoids to ornamental fish diets. Fading ornamental fish are uninteresting to buyers. In this 45-day feeding trial, the effect of carrot peel extract on growth, coloration, antioxidant enzymes and immune response in Orange Molly (Poecilia sphenops) was examined. Five diets were created: one control (C), one commercial feed without carotenoid sources, and three experimental pelleted diets with 1% Treatment (T1), 3% Treatment (T2) and 5% Treatment (T3) powdered carrot meal. After the experiment, the fish's skin and muscle carotenoid content and Specific Growth Rate (SGR) were measured. Skin and muscle carotene (μg/g wet weight basis) increased significantly. Digital photo analysis shows T3 has the most colour intensity, followed by T2, T1, and C. T3 had the highest Body Weight Gain (BWG)%, SGR%, and Food Conversion Ratio (FCR) growth (252.80, 2.952, 0.854), while C had the lowest (110.28 percent and 1.802). Carrot peels powder at 1%, 3% and 5% ensured 100% fish survival, while C and T4 at 90% and 80%, respectively. Carrot peel powder at 5gm/100gm fish feed had the highest pigment concentration in fresh fish muscles and a higher SGR. T3 fish had higher respiratory burst activity, indicating higher immunity. This study showed that ornamental fish farmers should use carrot peel-incorporated feed to improve growth, coloration, antioxidant activity and profit.

description: Bound states and scattering resonances in the unoccupied continuum of a two-dimensional crystal predicted in [Phys$.$Rev$.$ B 87, 041405(R) (2013)] are considered within an exactly solvable model. A close connection of the observed resonances with those arising in the Fano theory is revealed. The resonance occurs when the lateral scattering couples the layer-perpendicular incident electron wave to a strictly bound state. The coupling strength determines the location of the pole in the scattering amplitude in the complex energy plane, which is analytically shown to lead to a characteristic Fano-lineshape of the energy dependence of the electron transmissivity through the crystal. The implications for the timing of the resonance scattering are discussed. The analytical results are illustrated by ab initio calculations for a graphene monolayer.

description: We discuss an $\cal{N}=2$ supergravity model that interpolates the full and the partial supersymmetry breakings. In particular, we find the conditions for an $\cal{N}=0$ Minkowski vacuum, which is continuously connected to the partial-breaking ($\cal{N}=1$ preserving) one. The model contains multiple (Abelian) vector multiplets and a single hypermultiplet, and is constructed by employing the embedding tensor technique. We compute the mass spectrum on the Minkowski vacuum, and find some non-trivial mass relations among the massive fields. Our model allows us to choose the two supersymmetry-breaking scales independently, and to discuss the cascade supersymmetry breaking for the applications to particle phenomenology and cosmology.

description: We present a simple model for the possible mechanism of appearance of attraction between like charged polyions inside a polyelectrolyte solution. The attraction is found to be short ranged, and exists only in presence of multivalent counterions. The attraction is produced by the correlations in the condensed layers of counterions surrounding each polyion, and appears only if the number of condensed counterions exceeds the threshold, $ n > Z/2 α$, where $α$ is the valence of counterions and $Z$ is the polyion charge.

description: New Physics models in which the Standard Model particle content is enlarged via the addition of sterile fermions remain among the most minimal and yet most appealing constructions, particularly since these states are present as building blocks of numerous mechanisms of neutrino mass generation. Should the new sterile states have non-negligible mixings to the active (light) neutrinos, and if they are not excessively heavy, one expects important contributions to numerous high-intensity observables, among them charged lepton flavour violating muon decays and transitions, and lepton electric dipole moments. We briefly review the prospects of these minimal SM extensions to several of the latter observables, considering both simple extensions and complete models of neutrino mass generation. We emphasise the existing synergy between different observables at the Intensity Frontier, which will be crucial in unveiling the new model at work.

description: Additional file 3: Fig. S1. Nonlinearity in the relationship between prokaryotic optimal growth temperature and GC contents. It was estimated using the generalized additive mixed model (GAMM) by adjusting for the genus as a random effect. The dataset including 681 bacterial and 155 archaeal species was used in this analysis. The effective degrees of freedom (edf) is a proxy for the level of nonlinearity in the relationships. We presented the relationships of optimal growth temperature with the GC contents of protein-coding sequences and non-coding DNA (intergenic sequences and untranslated regions of mRNA that are generally unannotated in prokaryotic genomes) as (A) and (B) in this figure. The significance values of the results presented in (A) and (B) are P = 5 × 10−5 and 9 × 10−4, respectively.

description: We perform numerical simulations of the sandpile model for non-vanishing driving fields $h$ and dissipation rates $ε$. Unlike simulations performed in the slow driving limit, the unique time scale present in our system allows us to measure unambiguously response and correlation functions. We discuss the dynamic scaling of the model and show that fluctuation-dissipation relations are not obeyed in this system.

Baryon number violating hydrogen decay

description: Most studies on baryon number violating (BNV) processes in the literature focus on free or bound nucleons in nuclei, with limited attention given to the decay of bound atoms. Given that hydrogen is the most abundant atom in the universe, it is particularly intriguing to investigate the decay of hydrogen atom as a means to probe BNV interactions. In this study, for the first time, we employ a robust effective field theory (EFT) approach to estimate the decay widths of two-body decays of hydrogen atom into standard model particles, by utilizing the constraints on the EFT cutoff scale derived from conventional nucleon decay processes. We integrate low energy effective field theory (LEFT), chiral perturbation theory (ChPT), and standard model effective field theory (SMEFT) to formulate the decay widths in terms of the LEFT and SMEFT Wilson coefficients (WCs), respectively. By applying the bounds on the WCs from conventional nucleon decays, we provide a conservative estimate on hydrogen BNV decays. Our findings indicate that the bounds on the inverse partial widths of all dominant two-body decays exceed $10^{44}$ years. Among these modes, the least constrained diphoton decay $\Hy\to γγ$ might be astrophysically interesting, although the monochromatic photon signal from our Sun is difficult to detect with current near-Earth telescopes.
