Wrapped M5-branes leading to five dimensional 2-branes
Creators: name: Emam, Moataz H.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study the dimensional reduction of M5-branes wrapping special Lagrangian 3-cycles of a Calabi-Yau manifold and show explicitly that they result in 2-branes coupled to the hypermultiplets of ungauged N=2 D=5 supergravity theory. In addition to confirming previously known results, the calculation proves the relationship between them and provides further insight on how the topological properties of the compact space affect the lower dimensional fields.

description: We show that non-Markovian open quantum systems can exhibit exact Markovian dynamics up to an arbitrarily long time; the non-Markovianity of such systems is thus perfectly "hidden", i.e. not experimentally detectable by looking at the reduced dynamics alone. This shows that non-Markovianity is physically undecidable and extremely counterintuitive, since its features can change at any time, without precursors. Some interesting examples are discussed.

Die «unerfüllt gebliebene Sehnsucht» der «Lebenskünstlerin» Lina Loos
Creators: name: Pulvirenti, Grazia
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2015

description: The role Lina Loos had to play in her artistic milieu involved a permanent struggle between her authentic self and the male-dominated society which obliged her to serve as an inspiring “muse”, first of all for her more famous husband Adolf Loos. This contrast was the object of her play Wie man wird, was man ist. This paper will attempt to outline Lina Loos’s struggle to stand as a woman writer in a society which rejected the female creative work, her social engagement during the Second World War and in the following years, as well as all the psychological contrasts and stylistic features characterising her literary and journalistic work.

description: Vaccination is one of the most important contributions to human health and has produced a dramatic reduction in infectious disease deaths over the last 100 years. However, there is still no successful vaccine for HIV-1 that provides full protection against infection. Because HIV-1 primarily infects the mucosae, there is strong opinion that more effective mucosal HIV-1 vaccines eliciting robust immunity at mucosal sites will be a key requirement for a successful vaccine. This thesis evaluates mucosal HIV-specific CD8{u207A} T cell responses following prime-boost immunization with a novel HIV-1 vaccine that encodes an IL-13 inhibitor (IL-13R{u03B1}2). Vaccination with this IL-13R{u03B1}2 vaccine has been shown previously to elicit high systemic HIV-specific CD8{u207A} T cell response with great T cell avidity. However, the responses induced at mucosae were not known. HIV-specific CD8{u207A} T cell immunity is known for its critical role in controlling HIV-1 replication and preventing CD4{u207A} T cell depletion. To examine the potential ability of IL-13R{u03B1}2 vaccine in generating robust mucosal immunity, IFN-{u03B3} expression and K{u1E0F}Gag{u2081}{u2089}{u2087}{u208B}{u2082}{u2080}{u2085} -specific binding CD8{u207A} T cells were evaluated. By inhibiting host IL-13 through the co-expressed of vaccine encoded IL-13R{u03B1}2, significantly enhanced mucosal (Peyer's patch, genito-rectal nodes and lung tissue) HIV-specific CD8{u207A} T cell responses were observed. The enhanced CD8{u207A} T cell response were sustained from acute phase to memory phase, as examined at 3 days, 2 weeks and 8 weeks post vaccine boost. This leads to the conclusion that i.n. / i.m. IL-13R{u03B1}2 prime-boost vaccination can generate strong sustained HIV-specific CD8{u207A} T cell response in mucosae. The expression of different homing molecules on CD8{u207A} T cells determines the selective trafficking and localization. {u03B1}{u2084}{u03B2}{u2087} and CCR9 are gut-specific homing markers with well characterized effects on trafficking T cells that home to the gut. To examine the potential ability of the IL-13R{u03B1}2 vaccine to elicitHIV-specific CD8{u207A} T cells that reside in the gut. The expression of {u03B1}{u2084}{u03B2}{u2087} and CCR9 on K{u1E0F}Gag{u2081}{u2089}{u2087}{u208B}{u2082}{u2080}{u2085} -specifictetramer binding CD8{u207A} T cells was measured. The results demonstrate that IL-13R{u03B1}2 vaccine elicits significantly enhanced {u03B1}{u2084}{u03B2}{u2087}{u207A}CCR9{u207A} HIV-specific CD8{u207A} T cells in Peyer's patch, which suggests that an HIV-1 vaccine delivered with i.n./ i.m. prime-boost strategy, that temporarily inhibits IL-13, may be an attractive approach to enhance protective immunity against HIV-1 in the gut.

Prostaglandin F[sub 2⍺]-mediated luteolytic and luteotrophic effects on the human granulosa-luteal cell
Creators: name: Väänänen, Jeffrey Eric
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: These studies examined the effects of prostaglandin-F[sub 2a] (PGF[sub 2a]) on progesterone and 178-estradiol (estradiol) production, as well as DNA and PGF[sub 2a]-receptor (PGF[sub 2a]-R) mRNA levels, in the human granulosa-luteal cell (GLC). Additionally, the interactions of PGF[sub 2a] with human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG), gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and prostaglandin E₂ (PGE₂) were examined, with respect to progesterone and estradiol production. In one study, cells were collected from small (<12 mm) and large (>12 mm) follicles separately, permitting the examination of follicle size-dependent alterations in steroidogenesis. Pharmacological techniques were utilized to elucidate the signal transduction pathways involved in the anti-gonadotrophic effects of PGF[sub 2a]. Moreover, these experiments were performed on GLCs cultured for one (D₁), eight (D₈) and/or twelve to fourteen days (D₁₂₋₁₄), in order to reveal culture time-dependent alterations in cellular response. Briefly, GLCs collected from patients undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF), were cultured for the time periods described above, followed by a 24 h treatment period. After the treatment period media were collected and assayed for progesterone and estradiol, while cells were extracted for DNA or total RNA. It was found that human GLC responses to PGF[sub 2a] are culture time- and oncentrationdependent, with PGF[sub 2a] being either luteolytic or luteotrophic, depending on culture and treatment conditions. Moreover, GLC responses to hCG and PGF[sub 2a] varied with follicle size, suggesting that these hormones' actions are targeted toward more mature follicles. Furthermore, GnRH potentiates the luteolytic effects of PGF[sub 2a], while it acts as a permissive factor for the luteotrophic effects. A complex interaction between PGF[sub 2a] and PGE₂ was also seen. The luteolytic effects of PGF[sub 2a] are mediated through a pertussis toxin-sensitive G-protein (possibly G[sub i], G[sub p] or both). PGF[sub 2a] inhibits cholera toxin-, isoproterenol- and forskolin-, but not db-cAMP-stimulated progesterone production suggesting that this G-protein is exerting its actions on the adenylate cyclase pathway at the level of adenylate cyclase, but not distal to it. Additionally, PGF[sub 2a] is capable of autoregulating its receptor mRNA levels, and thus its ability to regulate steroidogenesis in the human GLC. Prostaglandin F[sub 2a]-RmRNA levels were found to be inversely related to progesterone and estradiol production. In conclusion, PGF[sub 2a] is a multi-functional hormone which acts through complex signal transduction pathways and interactions with confounding hormones, to exert both luteotrophic and luteolytic effects.
Hans Blumenbergs “Objet ambigu” und Giorgio Agambens “Dispositiv”. Kongruenz zweier poetologischer Paradigmen in der Sprache der Lyrik
Creators: name: Biasi, Marcella

description: This article discusses the idea of a specific lyric-theoretical power of language. Through Blumenberg’s pattern of the objet ambigu, it analyzes to what extent the performative charac­ter of the word can be seen as an ontological implication of its original linguistic potential. Through Agamben’s concept of the apparatus, it considers the «dispositive» character of the native power of self-determination of the word in the context of absolute semantic ambi­guity. This is to clarify the sense in which the word, under precise conditions, is the au­thentic «power of the figure» and how the «apparatus»-concept allows a deeper understand­ing of poetry according to the paradigm of ambiguity.

description: Robert Walser’s robber novel is frequently criticized as an inconsistent and tortuous piece of writing lacking in structure. Moving from these premises, most critics adopt a psycho­logical or psychoanalytic interpretation of this work. My aim is to show that by correlating the main theme of the novel with a motif of Kierkegaard’s Repetition it is possible to better explain what happens in Walser’s text. In this perspective, his novel may be seen as a con­sequential development of a well-known romantic theme: the mirror theme.

description: We develop a categorical compositional distributional semantics for Lambek Calculus with a Relevant Modality, which has a limited version of the contraction and permutation rules. The categorical part of the semantics is a monoidal biclosed category with a coalgebra modality as defined on Differential Categories. We instantiate this category to finite dimensional vector spaces and linear maps via quantisation functors and work with three concrete interpretations of the coalgebra modality. We apply the model to construct categorical and concrete semantic interpretations for the motivating example of this extended calculus: the derivation of a phrase with a parasitic gap. The effectiveness of the concrete interpretations are evaluated via a disambiguation task, on an extension of a sentence disambiguation dataset to parasitic gap phrases, using BERT, Word2Vec, and FastText vectors and Relational tensors

title: Towards the design of oxychalcogenide materials as candidates for solar water-splitting photocatalysis
Creators: name: AL Bacha, Sandy
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2024

description: Photocatalysts, capable of splitting water for clean hydrogen production, are needed if we are to realize the potential of fuel cells (which combine hydrogen and oxygen to give electrical energy) to help meet the world's energy demands. The use of solar energy is promising and the search for photocatalysts that are active under solar irradiation is growing. Whilst numerous materials have been found to be effective for water splitting, many oxide materials have band gaps too large for excitation by visible light, and many sulfides have smaller band gaps or lower stability. On the other hand, the electronic structure (including band gap nature and magnitude) can be optimized by tuning the chemical composition, including substitutions on the anion sublattice (e.g. with H-, N3− or S2−) to give mixed-anion materials. By appropriate anion-substitution, this can raise the valence band maximum which will decrease the band gap, moving it to the visible range. This substitution can also promote polarity which can lead to a better charge carrier's (e-/h+) separation. In particular, having heteroleptic environments around an active site may lead to enhanced polarity. This innovative strategy has been applied to give optically active materials and has been highlighted by theory work to give improved photocatalytic performance. Thus, the aim of this thesis is to test these hypotheses by combined experimental and computational studies on known oxychalcogenide materials.
In this context, a series of iron-based oxychalcogenides was investigated in which the roles of polar structure, the connectivity and transition metal coordination are highlighted. Polar CaFeOSe demonstrated its activity as photocathode with fast e-/h+ separation compared to the non-polar La2O2Fe2OQ2 (Q = S, Se), but on the other hand, these transition metals could suffer from an oxidation reaction which was seen with CaFeOS. Then, investigations of the polar oxysulfide Sr6Cd2Sb6S10O7 indicate its potential for photocatalytic applications with efficient electron-hole separation. This work demonstrates the importance of lone pairs in designing photocatalytic materials, and the balance between the cation site polarity and energies of cation valence states that can be tuned by anion substitution. Lastly, the study of Sr2Sb2O2Q3 (Q = S, Se) phases revealed exceptionally low effective masses for both electrons and holes: this is attributed to the presence of a stereochemically active lone pair and a 1D building block of SbOS4 with ~180° bond angles. Experimentally, this was observed in the photocurrent measurements of Sr2Sb2O2Se3 with even lower effective masses. These studies gave us insight into the structure-property relationships for those families and suggest a potential design strategy for functional oxychalcogenide photocatalysts in the visible light.

description: The Faint Irregular Galaxies GMRT Survey (FIGGS) is a Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT) based HI imaging survey of a systematically selected sample of extremely faint nearby dwarf irregular galaxies. The primary goal of FIGGS is to provide a comprehensive and statistically robust characterization of the neutral inter-stellar medium properties of faint, gas rich dwarf galaxies. The FIGGS galaxies represent the extremely low-mass end of the dwarf irregular galaxies population, with a median M${\rm{_B\sim-13.0}}$ and median HI mass of $\sim 3 \times 10^7$ M$_\odot$, extending the baseline in mass and luminosity space for a comparative study of galaxy properties. The HI data is supplemented with observations at other wavelengths. In addition, distances accurate to ~ 10% are available for most of the sample galaxies. This paper gives an introduction to FIGGS, describe the GMRT observations and presents the first results from the HI observations. From the FIGGS data we confirm the trend of increasing HI to optical diameter ratio with decreasing optical luminosity; the median ratio of D$_{\rm HI}$/D$_{\rm Ho}$ for the FIGGS sample is 2.4. Further, on comparing our data with aperture synthesis surveys of bright spirals, we find at best marginal evidence for a decrease in average surface density with decreasing HI mass. To a good approximation the disks of gas rich galaxies, ranging over 3 orders of magnitude in HI mass, can be described as being drawn from a family with constant HI surface density.

description: For a long time, two-dimensional (2D) hexagonal MoS2 was proposed as a promising material for valleytronic system. However, the limited size of growth and low carrier motilities in MoS2 restrict its further application. Very recently, a new kind of hexagonal 2D MXene, MoSi2N4, was successfully synthesized with large size, excellent ambient stability, and considerable hole mobility. In this paper, based on the first-principles calculations, we predict that the valley-contrast properties can be realized in monolayer MoSi2N4 and its derivative MoSi2As4. Beyond the traditional two-level valleys, the valleys in monolayer MoSi2As4 are multiple-folded, implying a new valley dimension. Such multiple-folded valleys can be described by a three-band low-power Hamiltonian. This study presents the theoretical advance and the potential applications of monolayer MoSi2N4 and MoSi2As4 in valleytronic devices, especially multiple information processing.

description: This paper examines the hypothesis that cooperation depends on the aspirations that individuals hold for their community welfare and tests whether videos that depict either a successful example of collective action or living conditions in rural areas can shape community aspirations and increase cooperation among rural communities in Zambia. The results of a lab in the field experiment indicate that compared with the no video condition, unconditional contributions are higher in the video that presents village life while the collective action video does not affect cooperation. When both contributors watch the village life video, conditional contributions are also higher compared to the control treatment. This points to the importance of social norms in the evolution of collective action. We find that individual aspirations are significantly negatively related to the unconditional contribution decision, while community aspirations do not correlate with contribution levels.

For eight years, the EATS sponsored an Electric Aircraft Rolling Recap with the expressed purpose of collecting synopses of technical papers of merit in aircraft electrification. In the early years, the EATS was hosted out of the AIAA, and to ensure that these Rolling Recap documents were preserved, the AIAA agreed to hold the documents in the AIAA Engage Library. This allowed any member of the AIAA to retrieve the Rolling Recap documents, whether they attended the conference or not. This AIAA Engage Library holds eight years of Rolling Recap, and each new conference is added to the library. In 2022, EATS was sponsored by the IEEE at the Transportation Electrification Community (now Transportation Electrification Council) meeting in Anaheim, CA. And now, making the repository of the Rolling Recap available to members of IEEE in addition to AIAA is desired. This webinar will provide an overview of the Rolling Recap archive and solicit interest from the IEEE and AIAA for future expansion and analyses of its material.

description: This thesis concerns fabrication of elongated silicon solar cells, together with development and application of supporting characterization techniques. Analysis of J-V curves can reveal considerable detail about recombination in a solar cell. In Chapter 2, the effects of the major recombination mechanisms on the J-V curve are described, taking into account surface, bulk and depletion region. The local ideality factor (m) is derived analytically as a function of operating voltage, and shown to have a value of 2.0, 0.67-0.76, and 1.0 for SRH, Auger and Radiative recombination in high injection respectively. The role of depletion region recombination is discussed. Elongate solar cells are cells that are long (cm), narrow (mm) and thin (tens of microns). The detailed process design and procedure for the fabrication of "plank" elongate silicon solar cells is presented in Chapter 3. Initial batches were tested to have poor open circuit voltage and fill factor which were determined to be caused by pinholes in masking dielectric layers, and dielectric damage caused by laser ablation. Chapter 4 is devoted to characterization of the difference between utilizing a Q-switch Nd:YLF laser or a spindle dicing saw for groove initiation in the formation of plank solar cells. Characterization of the damage was performed using etch rates of the cut, photoluminescence imaging and quasi-steady state photoconductance measurement. Damage recovery etch was also investigated, and it was demonstrated that it is possible to recover above 90% of effective lifetime with sufficient damage etch in a hydroxide etch solution. Due to the position of metal contacts on the edges of elongate solar cells, generated currents have to flow laterally to the edges to be collected. This causes the internal resistance of the device to vary significantly with operating conditions, making it more difficult to quantify accurately. In Chapter 5 the different methods of series resistance (Rs) measurement is reviewed with particular attention to the multi light method due to its ability to accurately measure Rs as a function of voltage. Rs measurements on elongate cells of various emitter sheet resistivity demonstrated that a high emitter sheet resistance causes large Rs variation with operating voltage, and can double between Rs(Voc) to RS(VMPP). It is demonstrated that an Rs-corrected J-V curve can be extracted, which is shown to have good correlation with the Jsc-Voc method. The method of Rs(V) extraction is shown to be generally applicable. In Chapter 6, the developed characterization techniques are applied to determine the causes of fill factor loss in elongate cells.

description: We consider an exact expression for the 6j-symbol for the isosceles tetrahedron, involving integrals over SU(2), and use it to write the two-point function of 3d gravity on a single tetrahedron as a group integral. The perturbative expansion of this expression is then performed with respect to the boundary geometry using a simple saddle-point analysis. We derive the complete expansion in inverse powers of the length scale and evaluate explicitly the quantum corrections up to second order. Finally, we use the same method to provide the complete expansion of the isosceles 6j-symbol with the explicit phases at all orders and the next-to-leading correction to the Ponzano-Regge asymptotics.

description: What did nature look like before it was destroyed by modern civilization? That is a question that was at the center of modernist art photography. It also resonates today in the context of environmental debates. On the example of the art work of Bauhaus photographer and cinematographer Alfred Ehrhardt, the artistic project of portraying nature “before us” is analyzed as an aesthetic project that positions itself before and next to the Anthropocene, i.e., the geological concept that foregrounds a radical interconnectivity between humans and nonhuman nature in our post-industrial era of mankind.

description: The synthesis and structural study of the stoichiometric perovskite La0.5Ba0.5CoO3 have allowed three forms to be isolated. Besides the disordered La0.5Ba0.5CoO3 and the perfectly ordered layered LaBaCo2O6, a third form called nanoscale-ordered LaBaCo2O6, is obtained. As evidenced by transmission electron microscopy investigations, the latter consists of 112-type 90 degree oriented domains fitted into each other at a nanometer scale which induce large strains and consequently local atomic scale lattice distortions. These three ferromagnetic perovskites exhibit practically the same Tc (174-179 K), but differently from the other phases, the nanoscale-ordered LaBaCo2O6 is a hard ferromagnet, with Hc = 4.2 kOe, due to the strains which may pin domain walls, preventing the reversal of the spins in a magnetic field. The magnetotransport properties of these phases show that all of them exhibit a maximum intrinsic magnetoresistance, close to 6-7 % around Tc under 70 kOe but that the ordered phase exhibits a much higher tunnelling magnetoresistance effect at low temperature of about 15 % against 4 % due to the grain boundary effects.

description: The skew monoidal categories of Szlachányi are a weakening of monoidal categories where the three structural laws of left and right unitality and associativity are not required to be isomorphisms but merely transformations in a particular direction. In previous work, we showed that the free skew monoidal category on a set of generating objects can be concretely presented as a sequent calculus. This calculus enjoys cut elimination and admits focusing, i.e. a subsystem of canonical derivations, which solves the coherence problem for skew monoidal categories. In this paper, we develop sequent calculi for partially normal skew monoidal categories, which are skew monoidal categories with one or more structural laws invertible. Each normality condition leads to additional inference rules and equations on them. We prove cut elimination and we show that the calculi admit focusing. The result is a family of sequent calculi between those of skew monoidal categories and (fully normal) monoidal categories. On the level of derivability, these define 8 weakenings of the (unit,tensor) fragment of intuitionistic non-commutative linear logic.

description: For a small category K enriched over a suitable monoidal category V, the free completion of K under colimits is the presheaf category [K*,V]. If K is large, its free completion under colimits is the V-category PK of small presheaves on K, where a presheaf is small if it is a left Kan extension of some presheaf with small domain. We study the existence of limits and of monoidal closed structures on PK.

description: Observations of the pair of galaxies VV 330 with the SCORPIO multimode instrument on the 6-m Special Astrophysical Observatory telescope are presented. Large-scale velocity fields of the ionized gas in H-alfa and brightness distributions in continuum and H-alfa have been constructed for both galaxies with the help of a scanning Fabry Perot interferometer. Long-slit spectroscopy is used to study the stellar kinematics. Analysis of the data obtained has revealed a complex structure in each of the pair components. Three kinematic subsystems have been identified in UGC 5600: a stellar disk, an inner gas ring turned with respect to the disk through ~80degrees, and an outer gas disk. The stellar and outer gas disks are noncoplanar. Possible scenarios for the formation of the observed multicomponent kinematic galactic structure are considered, including the case where the large-scale velocity field of the gas is represented by the kinematic model of a disk with a warp. The velocity field in the second galaxy of the pair, UGC 5609, is more regular. A joint analysis of the data on the photometric structure and the velocity field has shown that this is probably a late-type spiral galaxy whose shape is distorted by the gravitational interaction, possibly, with UGC 5600.

description: In this paper we propose a new reconstruction method to explore the low mass region in the associated production of top-quark pairs ($t\bar{t}$) with a generic scalar boson ($ϕ$) at the LHC. The new method of mass reconstruction shows an improved resolution of at least a factor of two in the low mass region when compared to previous methods, without the loss of sensitivity of previous analyses. It turns out that it also leads to an improvement of the mass reconstruction of the 125 GeV Higgs for the same production process. We use an effective Lagrangian to describe a scalar with a generic Yukawa coupling to the top quarks. A full phenomenological analysis was performed, using Standard Model background and signal events generated with MadGraph5\_aMC@NLO and reconstructed using a kinematic fit. The use of CP-sensitive variables allows then to maximize the distinction between CP-even and CP-odd components of the Yukawa couplings. Confidence Levels (CLs) for the exclusion of $ϕ$ bosons with mixed CP (both CP-even and CP-odd components) were determined as a function of the top Yukawa couplings to the $ϕ$ boson. The mass range analysed starts slightly above the $Υ$ mass up to 40 GeV, although the analysis can be used for an arbitrary mass. %We focus on dileptonic final states of the $t\bar{t}ϕ$ system, with $ϕ\rightarrow b\bar{b}$. If no new light scalar is found, exclusion limits at 95\% CL for the absolute value of the CP-even and CP-odd Yukawa are derived. %couplings are expected to be, approximately, as low as 0.10 and 0.50, respectively, at the end of the High Luminosity phase of the LHC (HL-LHC). Finally, we analyse how these limits constrain the parameter space of the complex two-Higgs doublet model (C2HDM).

description: Endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) and neuroinflammation are triggers for neurodegenerative disorders. Salubrinal is a selective inhibitor of protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) complex involving dephosphorylation of phosphorylated eukaryotic initiation factor-2α (eIF2α), the key crucial pathway in the ERS. Therefore, this study assessed the effects of inhibition of the ERS with salubrinal in the intranigral hemi-Parkinson disease (PD) model. Animals were treated with salubrinal for one week after the PD model was created by intranigral lipopolysaccharide (LPS) administration. Apomorphine-induced rotation, rotarod, cylinder, and pole tests were performed to evaluate behavioral changes. Proinflammatory cytokines and the expression level of the dual specificity protein phosphatase 2 (DUSP2), PP1, and p-eIF2α were evaluated. Nigral expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), nuclear factor kappaB (Nf-κB), and cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 was determined. Finally, tyrosine hydroxylase and caspase-3/ caspase-9 expressions were assessed by immunohistochemistry. Salubrinal reduced the motor impairments and dopamine-related behavioral deficiencies caused by the LPS. Salubrinal attenuated the LPS-induced increased levels of interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, tumor necrosis factor-α, and salubrinal rescued the loss of TH expression and dopamine levels and prevented the caspase-3/9 increase in the substantial nigra (SN). LPS potently increased iNOS, Nf-κB, and COX-2 expression, but this effect was reduced after salubrinal treatment. Additionally, salubrinal attenuated the LPS-induced PP1 and DUSP2 increase. Our results reveal that salubrinal is attenuating several inflammatory mediators and thereby decreased the inflammatory effects of LPS in the neurons of the SN. Together this results in increased cellular survival and maintained integrity of SN. Taken together our data show the beneficial effects of inhibition of ERS to restrict neuroinflammatory progression and neuronal loss in a PD model.

description: Objective: The purpose of this study is to perform analysis through the low back pain open data set to predict the incidence of non-specific chronic low back pain (NSLBP) to obtain a more accurate and convenient sagittal spinopelvic parameter model. Methods: The logistic regression analysis and multilayer perceptron(MLP) algorithm is used to construct a NSLBP prediction model based on the parameters of the spinopelvic parameters from open data source. Results: Degree of spondylolisthesis(DS), Pelvic radius (PR), Sacral slope (SS), Pelvic tilt (PT) are four predictors screened out by regression analysis that have significant predictive power for the risk of NSLBP. The overall accuracy of the equation prediction model is 85.8%.The MLP network algorithm determines that DS is the most powerful predictor of NSLBP through more precise modeling. The model has good predictive ability of 95.2% of accuracy. Conclusions: MLP models play a more accurate role in the construction of predictive models. Computer science is playing a greater role in helping precision medicine clinical research.

description: We introduce Reverse Derivative Ascent: a categorical analogue of gradient based methods for machine learning. Our algorithm is defined at the level of so-called reverse differential categories. It can be used to learn the parameters of models which are expressed as morphisms of such categories. Our motivating example is boolean circuits: we show how our algorithm can be applied to such circuits by using the theory of reverse differential categories. Note our methodology allows us to learn the parameters of boolean circuits directly, in contrast to existing binarised neural network approaches. Moreover, we demonstrate its empirical value by giving experimental results on benchmark machine learning datasets.
