description: We present a theoretical model for Type Ib supernova (SN) 2006jc. We calculate the evolution of the progenitor star, hydrodynamics and nucleosynthesis of the SN explosion, and the SN bolometric light curve (LC). The synthetic bolometric LC is compared with the observed bolometric LC constructed by integrating the UV, optical, near-infrared (NIR), and mid-infrared (MIR) fluxes. The progenitor is assumed to be as massive as $40M_\odot$ on the zero-age main-sequence. The star undergoes extensive mass loss to reduce its mass down to as small as $6.9M_\odot$, thus becoming a WCO Wolf-Rayet star. The WCO star model has a thick carbon-rich layer, in which amorphous carbon grains can be formed. This could explain the NIR brightening and the dust feature seen in the MIR spectrum. We suggest that the progenitor of SN 2006jc is a WCO Wolf-Rayet star having undergone strong mass loss and such massive stars are the important sites of dust formation. We derive the parameters of the explosion model in order to reproduce the bolometric LC of SN 2006jc by the radioactive decays: the ejecta mass $4.9M_\odot$, hypernova-like explosion energy $10^{52}$ ergs, and ejected $^{56}$Ni mass $0.22M_\odot$. We also calculate the circumstellar interaction and find that a CSM with a flat density structure is required to reproduce the X-ray LC of SN 2006jc. This suggests a drastic change of the mass-loss rate and/or the wind velocity that is consistent with the past luminous blue variable (LBV)-like event.

description: Susceptibility and resilience are a function of the measure considered. Even within males, different measures of traumatic stress indicate different degrees of vulnerabilities to traumatic stress within a given individual. Note that for one SPS-exposed male (red triangle), the acoustic startle response (ASR) is markedly elevated indicating a severe effect of SPS on this male. However, based on the dexamethasone (DEX) suppression test (DST), this same male is minimally affected by SPS. Moreover, glucocorticoid receptor (GR) expression in the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVN) indicates that SPS had a moderate effect on this same male. Other individual males exposed to SPS also show marked variability across these three measures, underscoring the idea that like many psychological phenomena, accurate diagnosis of PTSD requires a composite view of numerous diagnostic measures. Values for all individuals are indicated by the colored circles, with the mean (black larger circle) and standard deviation (black error bars) of these values. (DOCX 112 kb)

description: We present shell model calculations for the beta-decay of the 14C ground state to the 14N ground state, treating the states of the A=14 multiplet as two 0p holes in an 16O core. We employ low-momentum nucleon-nucleon (NN) interactions derived from the realistic Bonn-B potential and find that the Gamow-Teller matrix element is too large to describe the known lifetime. By using a modified version of this potential that incorporates the effects of Brown-Rho scaling medium modifications, we find that the GT matrix element vanishes for a nuclear density around 85% that of nuclear matter. We find that the splitting between the (J,T)=(1+,0) and (J,T)=(0+,1) states in 14N is improved using the medium-modified Bonn-B potential and that the transition strengths from excited states of 14C to the 14N ground state are compatible with recent experiments.

Year: 2024

description: The second most common endocrine disease that occurs during pregnancy is thyroid disease. Overt and subclinical thyroid dysfunction can lead to adverse effects on both the fetus and the mother. Thyroid diseases during pregnancy affect maternal outcomes and neuropsychological development of the fetus.

The objectives of this study were to investigate the effects of thyroid disorders on maternal health and its maternal and perinatal outcomes and to formulate a plan for the management of thyroid disorders in pregnancy. This prospective observational study involved 165 pregnant women. They will be assessed using thyroid function tests, and patients with deranged thyroid function will be treated and followed up. Pregnancy and outcomes were recorded. The findings of this research will offer important new information regarding possible side effects linked to thyroid issues in mothers as well as the clear advantages of therapy. Maternal thyroid diseases have several risk factors in addition to clear advantages of treatment.

description: Alkaline-earth (AE) atoms have metastable clock states with minute-long optical lifetimes, high-spin nuclei, and SU($N$)-symmetric interactions that uniquely position them for advancing atomic clocks, quantum information processing, and quantum simulation. The interplay of precision measurement and quantum many-body physics is beginning to foster an exciting scientific frontier with many opportunities. Few particle systems provide a window to view the emergence of complex many-body phenomena arising from pairwise interactions. Here, we create arrays of isolated few-body systems in a fermionic ${}^{87}$Sr three-dimensional (3D) optical lattice clock and use high resolution clock spectroscopy to directly observe the onset of both elastic and inelastic multi-body interactions. These interactions cannot be broken down into sums over the underlying pairwise interactions. We measure particle-number-dependent frequency shifts of the clock transition for atom numbers $n$ ranging from 1 to 5, and observe nonlinear interaction shifts, which are characteristic of SU($N$)-symmetric elastic multi-body effects. To study inelastic multi-body effects, we use these frequency shifts to isolate $n$-occupied sites and measure the corresponding lifetimes. This allows us to access the short-range few-body physics free from systematic effects encountered in a bulk gas. These measurements, combined with theory, elucidate an emergence of multi-body effects in few-body systems of sites populated with ground-state atoms and those with single electronic excitations. By connecting these few-body systems through tunneling, the favorable energy and timescales of the interactions will allow our system to be utilized for studies of high-spin quantum magnetism and the Kondo effect.

description: This article describes a procedure to generate a snapshot of the structure of a specific scientific community and their outputs based on the information available in Google Scholar Citations (GSC). We call this method MADAP (Multifaceted Analysis of Disciplines through Academic Profiles). The international community of researchers working in Bibliometrics, Scientometrics, Informetrics, Webometrics, and Altmetrics was selected as a case study. The records of the top 1,000 most cited documents by these authors according to GSC were manually processed to fill any missing information and deduplicate fields like the journal titles and book publishers. The results suggest that it is feasible to use GSC and the MADAP method to produce an accurate depiction of the community of researchers working in Bibliometrics (both specialists and occasional researchers) and their publication habits (main publication venues such as journals and book publishers). Additionally, the wide document coverage of Google Scholar (specially books and book chapters) enables more comprehensive analyses of the documents published in a specific discipline than were previously possible with other citation indexes, finally shedding light on what until now had been a blind spot in most citation analyses.

Prediction of Peptide Conformation by Multicanonical Algorithm: A New Approach to the Multiple-Minima Problem

description: We apply a recently developed method, multicanonical algorithm, to the problem of tertiary structure prediction of peptides and proteins. As a simple example to test the effectiveness of the algorithm, Met-enkephalin is studied and the ergodicity problem, or multiple-minima problem, is shown to be overcome by this algorithm. The lowest-energy conformation obtained agrees with that determined by other efficient methods such as Monte Carlo simulated annealing. The superiority of the present method to simulated annealing lies in the fact that the relationship to the canonical ensemble remains exactly controlled. Once the multicanonical parameters are determined, only one simulation run is necessary to obtain the lowest-energy conformation and furthermore the results of this one run can be used to calculate various thermodynamic quantities at any temperature. The latter point is demonstrated by the calculation of the average potential energy and specific heat as functions of temperature.

title: Co-design of experimental nature-based solutions for decentralized dry-weather runoff treatment retrofitted in a densely urbanized area in Central America
Creators: name: Pérez Rubi, Maria
name: Hack, Jochen
Publisher: name: Springer
Year: 2021

description: The quality of water in many urban rivers in Latin America is increasingly degrading due to wastewater and runoff discharges from urban sprawl. Due to deficits in sanitary drainage systems, greywater is discharged to the stormwater drainage network generating a continuous dry-weather runoff that reaches rivers without treatment. One of the main challenges in the region is to achieve sustainable management of urban runoff for the recovery of rivers ecosystem integrity. However, retrofitting conventional centralized wastewater drainage networks into the existing urban grid represents important social, economic and technical challenges. This paper presents an alternative adaptive methodology for the design of Nature-based Solutions for decentralized urban runoff treatment. Through this study, technical solutions commonly used for stormwater management were adapted for dry-weather runoff treatment and co-designed for the particular conditions of a representative study area, considering space availability as the main constraining factor for retrofitting in urban areas. The application of a co-design process in a dense neighbourhood of the Great Metropolitan area of Costa Rica brought to light valuable insights about conditions that could be hindering the implementation of NBS infrastructures in Latin America.
title: Studies on the active-site of Escherichia coli shikimate dehydrogenase

Year: 1995
Subjects: subject: Microbiology.

description: Shikimate dehydrogenase (SKDH) catalyses the fourth step of the biosynthetic shikimate pathway, the reversible reduction of 3-dehydroshikimate to shikimate. This Thesis describes the work leading to the identification of three active-site residues in E. coli SKDH. Group specific chemical modification with trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS) and kinetic analyses indicated the presence of an essential lysine residue at the active-site. Electrospray mass spectrometry (ESMS) revealed that three lysine residues were modified by TNBS, and in the presence of substrate and coenzyme two were protected from modification. HPLC mass spectrometry (LCMS) identified the three modified residues as Lys-15, Lys- 65 and Lys-217/219. In the presence of substrate and coenzyme Lys-65 was completely protected and Lys-15 was partially protected from modification. Sequence comparison with other known SKDH sequences allowed the identification of Lys-65 as the essential lysine residue. Experiments with methyl shikimate have provided evidence for a role for Lys-65 in substrate binding. Arg-154 was identified as a component of the coenzyme (NADP+) binding site by group specific chemical modification with phenylglyoxal (PGO). Characterisation of PGO modified SKDH by ESMS showed that a PGO modified arginine residue could have either a 1:1 or 2:1 stoichiometry. Protection experiments suggest that Arg-154 interacts with the 2' phosphate group of the adenosine moiety of the coenzyme. Chemical modification with the group specific reagent diethylpyrocarbonate (DEPC) and kinetic analyses indicated the presence of an active-site histidine. Characterisation of DEPC modified SKDH by ESMS showed that in the presence of substrate and coenzyme two histidine residues were protected from DEPC modification. Differential peptide mapping using reverse phase HPLC identified the two protected residues as His-13 and His-253. Sequence comparison with other SKDH sequences identified His-13 as the essential histidine. PH-dependence studies indicated a role for His-13 as a general acid/base in the catalytic reaction of SKDH. As a preliminary step towards solving the three dimensional structure of SKDH small crystals have been obtained.
Deep Learning in Medical Applications: Lesion Segmentation in Skin Cancer Images Using Modified and Improved Encoder-Decoder Architecture
Creators: name: Kaur, Ranpreet
Publisher: name: Media Design School
Year: 2024
Subjects: classificationCode: 46
subject: Information and computing sciences

description: The rise of deep learning techniques, such as a convolutional neural network (CNN) in solving medical image problems, offered fascinating results that motivated researchers to design automatic diagnostic systems. Image segmentation is one of the crucial and challenging steps in the design of a computer-aided diagnosis system owing to the presence of low contrast between skin lesion and background, noise artifacts, color variations, and irregular lesion boundaries. In this paper, we propose a modified and improved encoder-decoder architecture with a smaller network depth and a smaller number of kernels to enhance the segmentation process. The network performs segmentation for skin cancer images to obtain information about the infected area. The proposed model utilizes the power of the VGG19 network’s weight layers for calculating rich features. The deconvolutional layers were designed to regain spatial information of the image. In addition to this, optimized training parameters were adopted to further improve the network’s performance. The designed network was evaluated for two publicly available benchmarked datasets ISIC, and PH2 consists of dermoscopic skin cancer images. The experimental observations proved that the proposed network achieved the higher average values of segmentation accuracy 95.67%, IoU 96.70%, and BF-score of 89.20% on ISIC 2017 and accuracy 98.50%, IoU 93.25%, and BF-score 84.08% on PH2 datasets as compared to other state-of-the-art algorithms on the same datasets.

description: We present a CCD investigation of the galactic globular M5 aimed to increase the statistical relevance of the available sample of evolving bright stars. Previous investigations, limited to the outer cluster region, have been extended toward the cluster center, more than doubling the number of observed luminous stars. On this basis, we discuss a statistically relevant sample, rich of 415 HB stars. The occurrence of a gap in the blue side of the HB is suggested. Comparison to the current evolutionary scenario discloses a good agreement concerning both the C-M diagram location and the relative abundance of stars in the advanced evolutionary phases, supporting our present knowledge of the evolution of low mass stars. Determination of the amount of the original helium content through the ratio R N(HB)/N(RGB) gives $Y = 0.22 \pm 0.02$.

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: Feedback flashing ratchets are thermal rectifiers that use information on the state of the system to operate the switching on and off of a periodic potential. They can induce directed transport even with symmetric potentials thanks to the asymmetry of the feedback protocol. We investigate here the dynamics of a feedback flashing ratchet when the asymmetry of the ratchet potential and of the feedback protocol favor transport in opposite directions. The introduction of a time delay in the control strategy allows one to nontrivially tune the relative relevance of the competing asymmetries leading to an interesting dynamics. We show that the competition between the asymmetries leads to a current reversal for large delays. For small ensembles of particles current reversal appears as the consequence of the emergence of an open-loop like dynamical regime, while for large ensembles of particles it can be understood as a consequence of the stabilization of quasiperiodic solutions. We also comment on the experimental feasibility of these feedback ratchets and their potential applications.

description: Nature-based solutions (NBS), understood as actions that use ecosystem processes to address societal needs, can play important roles to future-proof river landscape development for people and nature. However, knowledge gaps exist how NBS can be planned and implemented at landscape scales. This Special Issue brings together insights and experiences from studies of assessing, planning, and implementing NBS in river landscapes in Europe and beyond. It addresses three research fields: (i) NBS effects, looking at the effectiveness of NBS to achieve ecological, social, and/or economic outcomes, (ii) NBS planning, focusing on approaches for planning and designing NBS, and (iii) NBS governance, relating to governance and business models for implementation. The twelve contributions deliver evidence on how NBS outperform conventional, rather technical solutions, provide guidance and tools to operationalize the NBS concept into practice, and showcase successful governance models of NBS in different contexts. The editorial ends with an outlook on further research needs.

description: QMCPACK is an open source quantum Monte Carlo package for ab-initio electronic structure calculations. It supports calculations of metallic and insulating solids, molecules, atoms, and some model Hamiltonians. Implemented real space quantum Monte Carlo algorithms include variational, diffusion, and reptation Monte Carlo. QMCPACK uses Slater-Jastrow type trial wave functions in conjunction with a sophisticated optimizer capable of optimizing tens of thousands of parameters. The orbital space auxiliary field quantum Monte Carlo method is also implemented, enabling cross validation between different highly accurate methods. The code is specifically optimized for calculations with large numbers of electrons on the latest high performance computing architectures, including multicore central processing unit (CPU) and graphical processing unit (GPU) systems. We detail the program's capabilities, outline its structure, and give examples of its use in current research calculations. The package is available at http://www.qmcpack.org .

description: In image-guided surgical tasks, the precision and timing of hand movements depend on the effectiveness of visual cues relative to specific target areas in the surgeons peri-personal space. Two-dimensional (2D) image views of real-world movements are known to negatively affect both constrained (with tool) and unconstrained(no tool) hand movements compared with direct action viewing. Task conditions where virtual 3D would generate and advantage for surgical eye-hand coordination are unclear. Here, we compared effects of 2D and 3D image views on the precision and timing of surgical hand movement trajectories in a simulator environment. Eight novices had to pick and place a small cube on target areas across different trajectory segments in the surgeons peri-personal space, with the dominant hand, with and without a tool, under conditions of: (1) direct (2) 2D fisheye camera and (3) virtual 3D viewing (headmounted). Significant effects of the location of trajectories in the surgeons peri-personal space on movement times and precision were found. Subjects were faster and more precise across specific target locations, depending on the viewing modality.

This research proposes an automated melanoma classifier based on a deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) to accurately classify malignant vs. benign melanoma. The structure of the DCNN is carefully designed by organizing many layers that are responsible for extracting low to high-level features of the skin images in a unique fashion. Other vital criteria in the design of DCNN are the selection of multiple filters and their sizes, employing proper deep learning layers, choosing the depth of the network, and optimizing hyperparameters. The primary objective is to propose a lightweight and less complex DCNN than other state-of-the-art methods to classify melanoma skin cancer with high efficiency. For this study, dermoscopic images containing different cancer samples were obtained from the International Skin Imaging Collaboration datastores (ISIC 2016, ISIC2017, and ISIC 2020). We evaluated the model based on accuracy, precision, recall, specificity, and F1-score. The proposed DCNN classifier achieved accuracies of 81.41%, 88.23%, and 90.42% on the ISIC 2016, 2017, and 2020 datasets, respectively, demonstrating high performance compared with the other state-of-the-art networks. Therefore, this proposed approach could provide a less complex and advanced framework for automating the melanoma diagnostic process and expediting the identification process to save a life.

description: We review recent developments on the role of neutrino mixing in the inverse beta decay of accelerated protons. We show that calculations in the inertial and comoving frames agree (thus preserving General Covariance) only when taking neutrino asymptotic states to be flavor (rather than mass) eigenstates. Our conclusions are valid in the approximation in which Pontecorvo states are correctly representing neutrino flavor states. We speculate about the general case involving exact flavor states and finally comment on other approaches recently appeared in literature.

description: Features in the zero sound attenuation near the pair-breaking edge in superfluid $^3$He-B have been observed in large magnetic fields. Schopohl and Tewordt [{\sl J. Low Temp. Phys.} {\bf 57}, 601 (1984)] claim that the $J=1^-, M=\pm 1$ order-parameter collective modes couple to zero sound as a result of the distortion of the equilibrium order parameter by a magnetic field; they identify the new features with these modes. However, we show that, when the effect of gap distortion on the collective modes is properly taken into account, the collective mode equations of Schopohl and Tewordt yield no direct coupling of zero sound to the $J=1^-$ modes. Thus, the identification of the absorption features reported by Ling, Saunders and Dobbs [{\sl Phys. Rev. Lett.} {\bf 59}, 461 (1987)] near the pair-breaking edge with the $J=1^-$ modes is not clearly established.

description: Melanoma is the most dangerous and aggressive form among skin cancers, exhibiting a high mortality rate worldwide. Biopsy and histopathological analysis are standard procedures for skin cancer detection and prevention in clinical settings. A significant step in the diagnosis process is the deep understanding of the patterns, size, color, and structure of lesions based on images obtained through dermatoscopes for the infected area. However, the manual segmentation of the lesion region is time-consuming because the lesion evolves and changes its shape over time, making its prediction challenging. Moreover, it is challenging to predict melanoma at the initial stage as it closely resembles other skin cancer types that are not malignant as melanoma; thus, automatic segmentation techniques are required to design a computer-aided system for accurate and timely detection.

description: Residual shoulder dysfunction and deformity impacts on functional performance in children with obstetric brachial plexus palsy (OBPP). Clinical understanding of dynamic movement patterns of the upper limb is difficult with observation alone. Three-dimensional gait analysis has contributed significantly to understanding and management of gait dysfunction. In contrast, upper limb kinematic analysis is in its infancy due to the inherent challenges it presents. The aims of this study were to: determine test-retest reliability of three-dimensional upper limb motion analysis (3D-ULMA) in children with OBPP while performing functional tasks; determine its ability to identify discriminative upper limb spatiotemporal and kinematic characteristics between children with OBPP and typically developing children (TDC). The test-retest reliability study of ten children with OBPP (mean 10 years, range 7-15 years, Narakas classification I-III) demonstrated inconsistent reliability. Despite this finding, as the first study to provide details of measurement error in this population it allowed more accurate interpretation of the variables analysed in the case-control study. The case-control study, involving 11 participants with OBPP and 10 TDC (mean 9 years 9 months, range 6-15 years), found that 3D-ULMA could characterise kinematic differences between children with OBPP and TDC while performing functional tasks. Children with OBPP demonstrated reduced external rotation in all tasks combined with reduced active control of internal rotation. Reduced glenohumeral joint motion was the main contributor to impaired function and altered scapulohumeral rhythm in children with OBPP.This finding emphasises the importance of maintaining glenohumeral joint integrity through available therapeutic and surgical interventions. A significant reduction in forearm supination was also found which concurred with previous research. Future kinematic studies in children with OBPP should subgroup according to age and severity of involvement; examine timing of scapulothoracic joint motion and analyse thorax and neck motion.

description: We report the discovery of microlensing planet OGLE-2017-BLG-0373Lb. We show that while the planet-host system has an unambiguous microlens topology, there are two geometries within this topology that fit the data equally well, which leads to a factor 2.5 difference in planet-host mass ratio, i.e., $q=1.5\times 10^{-3}$ vs. $q=0.6\times 10^{-3}$. We show that this is an "accidental degeneracy" in the sense that it is due to a gap in the data. We dub it "the caustic-chirality degeneracy". We trace the mathematical origins of this degeneracy, which should enable similar degenerate solutions to be easily located in the future. A Bayesian estimate, based on a Galactic model, yields a host mass $M=0.25^{+0.30}_{-0.15} M_\odot$ at a distance $D_L=5.9^{+1.3}_{-1.95}$ kpc. The lens-source relative proper motion is relatively fast, $μ=9$ mas/yr, which implies that the host mass and distance can be determined by high-resolution imaging after about 10 years. The same observations could in principle resolve the discrete degeneracy in $q$, but this will be more challenging.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: Objective: Relatively little has been reported about the impact of COVID-19 restrictions on emergency ambulance services. We describe the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on the emergency ambulance system in Victoria, Australia. Methods: We performed an interrupted time series analysis of consecutive calls for ambulance from January 2018 to February 2021, including two waves of COVID-19. The COVID-19 lockdown period included seven months of stay-at-home restrictions (16/03/2020-18/10/2020). Nineteen weeks of post-lockdown data were included (19/10/2020-28/02/2021). Results: In total, 2,356,326 consecutive calls were included. COVID-19 lockdown was associated with an absolute reduction of 64,991 calls (almost 2,100 calls/week). According to time series analysis, lockdown was associated with a 12.6% reduction in weekly calls (IRR = 0.874 [95% CI 0.811, 0.941]), however no change in long-term trend (IRR = 1.000 [95% CI 0.996, 1.003]). During lockdown, the long-term trend of attendances to patients with suspected acute coronary syndromes (ACS, IRR = 1.006 [95% CI 1.004, 1.009]) and mental health-related issues (IRR = 1.005 [95% CI 1.002, 1.008]) increased. After lockdown, the call volume was 5.6% below pre-COVID-19 predictions (IRR = 0.944 [95% CI 0.909, 0.980]), however attendances for suspected ACS were higher than predicted (IRR = 1.069 [95% CI 1.009, 1.132]). Ambulance response times deteriorated, and total case times were longer than prior to the pandemic, driven predominantly by extended hospital transfer times. Conclusion: The COVID-19 pandemic had a dramatic impact on the emergency ambulance system. Despite lower call volumes post-lockdown than predicted, we observed deteriorating ambulance response times, extended case times and hospital delays. The pattern of attendance to patients with suspected ACS potentially highlights the collateral burden of delaying treatment for urgent conditions.
