description: Background: The protocol described in this paper is part of a research project coordinated 1 between three Spanish universities where a technology aimed at improving the quality of life of 2 people suffering from cerebral palsy will be developed. Part of the technology developed will consist 3 of developing an interface and a series of applications to increase motivation for daily physical activity. 4 The basis of these developments is based on the measurement of the emotional state of the subjects. 5 Methods: The experimental protocol is designed with two objectives, on the one hand to identify the 6 emotional state through physiological signals, and on the other to determine whether music can be 7 a motivating factor to promote physical activity. It has been specifically designed for subjects with 8 cerebral palsy taking into account the special characteristics of this population. These are people with 9 whom it is difficult to use questionnaires to have a basis to contrast with the measured physiological 10 signals, so measurements must be taken in carefully chosen daily life situations Discussion: As results 11 we hope to obtain which physiological parameters are the most robust to measure the emotional state 12 and how to design rehabilitation and physical activity promotion routines that are motivating, in 13 addition to being able to avoid risk factors during the performance of these routines.

description: Currently, there is a surge of interest in fair Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) research which aims to mitigate discriminatory bias in AI algorithms, e.g. along lines of gender, age, and race. While most research in this domain focuses on developing fair AI algorithms, in this work, we examine the challenges which arise when human- fair-AI interact. Our results show that due to an apparent conflict between human preferences and fairness, a fair AI algorithm on its own may be insufficient to achieve its intended results in the real world. Using college major recommendation as a case study, we build a fair AI recommender by employing gender debiasing machine learning techniques. Our offline evaluation showed that the debiased recommender makes fairer and more accurate college major recommendations. Nevertheless, an online user study of more than 200 college students revealed that participants on average prefer the original biased system over the debiased system. Specifically, we found that the perceived gender disparity associated with a college major is a determining factor for the acceptance of a recommendation. In other words, our results demonstrate we cannot fully address the gender bias issue in AI recommendations without addressing the gender bias in humans. They also highlight the urgent need to extend the current scope of fair AI research from narrowly focusing on debiasing AI algorithms to including new persuasion and bias explanation technologies in order to achieve intended societal impacts.

description: Purpose: To explore the long-term impact of difficulty with kneeling and how healthcare services could be improved to help patients kneel after total knee replacement. Patients and methods: Telephone interviews were conducted with 56 patients who had extreme difficulty kneeling at 7–10 years after knee replacement. Patients were asked about reasons for difficulty kneeling, how it impacted upon their lives, and experiences of healthcare services. Responses were recorded on a standardized proforma and a descriptive content analysis performed. Results: Most people had difficulty kneeling because of pain or discomfort in the replaced knee. Many patients described how this limitation affected their daily lives, including housework, gardening, religious practices, leisure activities and getting up after a fall. Patients often adapted to these limitations by finding alternatives to kneeling, assistance from others or home adaptations. Many patients had accepted that they could not kneel, however some still expressed frustrated. Few patients had consulted with healthcare professionals about kneeling difficulties, and unmet needs included the provision of information about kneeling and post-operative physiotherapy. Interpretation: This study provides an initial insight into how difficulty kneeling after knee replacement impacts upon patientsand the need for better healthcare provision.Implications for rehabilitationRehabilitation professionals should be aware that many patients experience difficulty with kneeling after total knee replacement and that this has a long-term impact upon patients.There is a need for rehabilitation after knee replacement to address kneeling difficulties.It is suggested that this rehabilitation should be delivered early in the postoperative recovery phase and designed to address the multifactorial reasons that patients find kneeling problematic.

description: Crawling cell motility is vital to many biological processes such as wound healing and the immune response. Using a minimal model we investigate the effects of patterned substrate adhesiveness and biophysical cell parameters on the direction of cell motion. We show that cells with low adhesion site formation rates may move perpendicular to adhesive stripes while a those with high adhesion site formation rates results in motility only parallel to the substrate stripes. We explore the effects of varying the substrate pattern and the strength of actin polymerization on the directionality of the crawling cell; these results have applications in motile cell sorting and guiding on engineered substrates.

description: Berenil, a minor groove DNA binding molecule, has been extensively used in veterinary medicine. Modeling studies have suggested that berenil binds to A/T rich regions on the DNA and the product of this interaction causes the formation of crosslinks between opposite DNA strands. These crosslinks could potentially inhibit fundamental biological processes including transcription and DNA replication. We had previously used the pBR322 genome as a model system to investigate the role of A/T sequences on berenil activity. We reported that the insertion of poly(dA)poly(dT) sequences into the pBR322 genome causes replication inhibition of the recombinant plasmids when cultures were exposed to berenil. However, we noticed that even in the absence of these sequences the parental plasmid replication was also inhibited, albeit less than the recombinants. This observation led us to the present study were we attempted to identify the location of natural berenil target sites in the pBR322 genome. Through a combination of deletion analysis, recombinant DNA and a replication assay we uncovered a 378 bp DNA fragment that has all the hallmarks of a berenil target site. A recombinant plasmid lacking this region is more refractive to the drug than the parental plasmid, and another variant containing and extra copy of this region increases the susceptibility of the plasmid towards berenil. The 378 bp region is about 60% A/T rich and contains about 21 potential berenil binding sites.

description: We examine the photonic spin Hall effect (SHE) in a graphene-substrate system with the presence of external magnetic field. In the quantum Hall regime, we demonstrate that the in-plane and transverse spin-dependent splittings in photonic SHE exhibit different quantized behaviors. The quantized SHE can be described as a consequence of a quantized geometric phase (Berry phase), which corresponds to the quantized spin-orbit interaction. Furthermore, an experimental scheme based on quantum weak value amplification is proposed to detect the quantized SHE in terahertz frequency regime. By incorporating the quantum weak measurement techniques, the quantized photonic SHE holds great promise for detecting quantized Hall conductivity and Berry phase. These results may bridge the gap between the electronic SHE and photonic SHE in graphene.

description: Paecilomyces variotii extract “ZhiNengCong” (ZNC) has been confirmed to be a high activity plant immune inducer, but its application effect and appropriate concentration in different crops and different environmental conditions need to be further verified. This study set up six treatments, including three ZNC concentration levels (0, 5, and 20 ng/mL) and two Ralstonia solanacearum (Rs) inoculation levels (with and without), to explore the effect of ZNC application on the growth and disease resistance of peppers. The results showed that ZNC application (particularly 5 ng/mL ZNC) increased the basal biomass of the pepper plant and promoted root growth. 5 ng/mL ZNC can improve photosynthetic performance (net photosynthetic rate, transpiration rate and chlorophyll content averagely increased 20.2%, 33.7% and 16.0%, respectively) and antioxidant enzyme activities (particularly, catalase activity averagely increased 38.9%) of peppers more efficient than 20 ng/mL. Moreover, 5 ng/mL ZNC significantly increased Rs resistance of pepper, while 20 ng/mL ZNC did not show this effect. In conclusion, 5 ng/mL ZNC had the most significant effects on the growth-promoting and disease resistance of peppers, indicating good application prospects in agricultural practice.

description: We study noncentrosymmetric superconductors with the tetrahedral $T_d$, tetragonal $C_{4v}$, and cubic point group $O$. The order parameter is computed self-consistently in the bulk and near a surface for several different singlet to triplet order parameter ratios. It is shown that a second phase transition below $T_c$ is possible for certain parameter values. In order to determine the surface orientation's effect on the order parameter suppression, the latter is calculated for a range of different surface orientations. For selected self-consistent order parameter profiles the surface density of states is calculated showing intricate structure of the Andreev bound states (ABS) as well as spin polarization. The topology's effect on the surface states and the tunnel conductance is thoroughly investigated, and a topological phase diagram is constructed for open and closed Fermi surfaces showing a sharp transition between the two for the cubic point group $O$.

The Gibbs free energy of homogeneous nucleation: from atomistic nuclei to the planar limit

description: In this paper we discuss how the information contained in atomistic simulations of homogeneous nucleation should be used when fitting the parameters in macroscopic nucleation models. We show how the number of solid and liquid atoms in such simulations can be determined unambiguously by using a Gibbs dividing surface and how the free energy as a function of the number of solid atoms in the nucleus can thus be extracted. We then show that the parameters of a model based on classical nucleation theory can be fit using the information contained in these free-energy profiles but that the parameters in such models are highly correlated. This correlation is unfortunate as it ensures that small errors in the computed free energy surface can give rise to large errors in the extrapolated properties of the fitted model. To resolve this problem we thus propose a method for fitting macroscopic nucleation models that uses simulations of planar interfaces and simulations of three-dimensional nuclei in tandem. We show that when the parameters of the macroscopic model are fitted in this way the numerical errors for the final fitted model are smaller and that the extrapolated predictions for large nuclei are thus more reliable.
Cold collisions of heavy $^2Σ$ molecules with alkali-metal atoms in a magnetic field: Ab initio analysis and prospects for sympathetic cooling of SrOH$(^2Σ)$ by Li($^2$S)

description: We use accurate ab initio and quantum scattering calculations to explore the prospects for sympathetic cooling of the heavy molecular radical SrOH($^2Σ$) by ultracold Li atoms in a magnetic trap. A two-dimensional potential energy surface (PES) for the triplet electronic state of Li-SrOH is calculated ab initio using the partially spin-restricted coupled cluster method with single, double and perturbative triple excitations and a large correlation-consistent basis set. The highly anisotropic PES has a deep global minimum in the skewed Li-HOSr geometry with $D_e=4932$ cm$^{-1}$ and saddle points in collinear configurations. Our quantum scattering calculations predict low spin relaxation rates in fully spin-polarized Li+SrOH collisions with the ratios of elastic to inelastic collision rates well in excess of 100 over a wide range of magnetic fields (1-1000 G) and collision energies (10$^{-5}-0.1$~K) suggesting favorable prospects for sympathetic cooling of SrOH molecules with spin-polarized Li atoms in a magnetic trap. We find that spin relaxation in Li+SrOH collisions occurs via a direct mechanism mediated by the magnetic dipole-dipole interaction between the electron spins of Li and SrOH, and that the indirect (spin-rotation) mechanism is strongly suppressed. The upper limit to the Li+SrOH reaction rate coefficient calculated for the singlet PES using adiabatic capture theory is found to decrease from $4\times 10^{-10}$~cm$^3$/s to a limiting value of $3.5\times 10^{-10}$ cm$^3$/s with decreasing temperature from 0.1 K to 1 $μ$K.

description: We construct a self-consistent relativistic Newtonian analogue corresponding to gravitational static spherical symmetric spacetime geometries, staring directly from a generalized scalar relativistic gravitational action in Newtonian framework, which gives geodesic equations of motion identical to those of the parent metric. Consequently, the derived velocity-dependent relativistic scalar potential, which is a relativistic generalization of Newtonian gravitational potential, exactly reproduces the relativistic gravitational features corresponding to any static spherical symmetric spacetime geometry in its entirety, including all the experimentally tested gravitational effects in the weak field up to the present. This relativistic analogous potential is expected to be quite useful in studying wide range of astrophysical phenomena, especially in strong field gravity.

As an illustration, we obtain all skew-symmetric solutions of the 3-Lie CYBE in complex 3-Lie algebras of dimension 3 and 4 and then the induced local cocycle 3-Lie bialgebras. On the other hand, we classify the double construction 3-Lie bialgebras for complex 3-Lie algebras in dimensions 3 and 4 and then give the corresponding 8-dimensional pseudo-metric 3-Lie algebras.

Comparing Atmospheric Temperature Fluctuations Across Landed Missions

Year: 2024

description: We analyze and compare atmospheric temperature data from three landed missions: Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) Curiosity rover, Phoenix lander, and Pathfinder lander. Pathfinder and Phoenix were lander missions that operated for 84 and 151 sols, respectively. MSL Curiosity is a rover that operates on the surface of Mars. It has recorded air temperature for more than five Mars Years (MY). We denoise and detrend temperature data from each mission and use those results to calculate variance in air temperature as a diagnostic for atmospheric variability at the surface. The results show a consistent seasonal pattern in MSL air temperature variance with little interannual variability outside major dust storms. The global dust storm in MY 34 was accompanied by a decrease in temperature variance and a muted response in peak MY 35 variance the following year. Phoenix (68°N, 2 m measurement height) and Pathfinder (19.7°N, 1.1 m measurement height) air temperatures have larger variance than air temperature from environmental data records at the MSL location (5.4°S, 1.6 m measurement height) at its equatorial latitude. Pathfinder variances per sol are larger than those of Phoenix, possibly due to a combination of Pathfinder's lower albedo surface and lower latitude. This occurs despite the Pathfinder location's higher thermal inertia, which would act to decrease noontime variance relative to a lower thermal inertia surface. Comparison of MSL temperature variance to pressure drops related to convective vortex activity shows consistent seasonal patterns; however, pressure drops tend to increase with increasing rover elevation, while variance remains consistent.

description: Public Deliverable 6.2. Certification schemes and awards are frequently used tools to promote gender equality in a variety of domains. Under the CASPER project, three different scenarios have been set up through broad participatory processes for a Europe-wide GECAS (Gender Equality Certification/Award Scheme) specifically addressing research organisations and higher education institutions. The three scenarios are: 1) A brand-new Europe-wide scheme (EUQUAL); 2) The integration of the HRS4R (Human Resources Strategy for Researchers) award with a twin certification devoted to gender that would be called the GES4R (Gender Equality Strategy for Researchers) award; 3) The Europeanisation of the Athena SWAN scheme. In addition, a “No direct-action” scenario was also devised, where no Europe-wide scheme would be in place, but the European Commission would be incentivising and supporting the establishment of GECAS at the level of the Member States. The four scenarios have undergone a validation process entailing the consultation of relevant stakeholders through online questionnaires and connected interviews, as well as through a series of walkthrough tests at relevant European institutions.
 The results of the validation activities, processed to highlight strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and threats of each scenario, have been discussed in two workshops within the CASPER consortium, including International Advisory Board members. The objective was to identify those policy measures that could realistically optimise the advantages and minimise the shortcomings of each scenario while maintaining their distinctive identity as alternative, credible policy options, each one presenting a specific trade-off profile. The connection with the Horizon Europe GEP requirement is also incorporated in many recommendations, aiming at harmonising the two policy tools (certification scheme and HE requirement).
 The recommendations deriving from this process are presented in this document.

description: In aggregate hydroponics, the suitability of a particular medium is often guided by its physical properties. However these may not provide adequate evaluation. By growing a crop, the growth characteristics can also be used to guide medium preparation and selection. Tomatoes (Anna F1 variety) were grown in containers under a greenhouse and provided with equal amount of nutrient solution. The expanded black cotton soil was prepared by mixing with rice husk at a ratio of 90:10, fired at 750oC for 30 minutes and size reduced to various textures. The crops planted in the expanded clay aggregates performed better than the black cotton soil both in terms of stem elongation and enlargement due to improved drainage, nutrient flow and aeration conditions. The root length density was 25654 m m-3 in black cotton soil, being the highest and lowest in the coarse aggregates which had 9433 m m-3.

description: We derive a general exact formula for the mean first passage time (MFPT) from a fixed point inside a planar domain to an escape region on its boundary. The underlying mixed Dirichlet-Neumann boundary value problem is conformally mapped onto the unit disk, solved exactly, and mapped back. The resulting formula for the MFPT is valid for an arbitrary space-dependent diffusion coefficient, while the leading logarithmic term is explicit, simple, and remarkably universal. In contrast to earlier works, we show that the natural small parameter of the problem is the harmonic measure of the escape region, not its perimeter. The conventional scaling of the MFPT with the area of the domain is altered when diffusing particles are released near the escape region. These findings change the current view of escape problems and related chemical or biochemical kinetics in complex, multiscale, porous or fractal domains, while the fundamental relation to the harmonic measure opens new ways of computing and interpreting MFPTs.

By demonstrating on two particles from the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, it is shown that a complete analysis of U, Pu and Am can be done in a single afternoon. The use of a two-step laser scheme and a diffraction grating Ti:Sa laser has significantly reduced the time and effort required for single particle measurements. This report details the operation of the new system and discusses further improvements to be made to increase the accuracy of the technique.

description: Ο περιορισμός της παραοικονομίας και η περιστολή της φοροδιαφυγής, έχει αποκτήσει δυναμική την τελευταία δεκαπενταετία, τόσο μεταξύ των εποπτευόμενων υπερεθνικών αρχών, όσο και των εθνικών αρμοδίων χάραξης πολιτικής, κάτι που υποδεικνύεται από την πληθώρα νομοθετικών πρωτοβουλιών προς αυτή την κατεύθυνση. Μέσα από την βιβλιογραφική ανασκόπηση που επιχειρήθηκε, καθίσταται πλέον σαφές ότι η έννοιες της παραοικονομίας και η φοροδιαφυγής, δεν ταυτίζονται αλλά συνυπάρχουν σε υψηλό βαθμό, ενώ η παραοικονομία και η επίσημη οικονομία, επειδή δραστηριοποιούνται στο ίδιο κοινωνικοοικονομικό περιβάλλον, έχουν υψηλό βαθμό αλληλεξάρτησης. Τα ίδια άτομα δηλαδή που δραστηριοποιούνται στα πλαίσια της φανερής, δύναται να κινούνται παράλληλα στην κρυφή οικονομία. Επιπλέον, διαπιστώθηκε ότι η ένταξη της χώρας μας στη Διαδικασία Υπερβολικού Ελλείματος του Συμφώνου Σταθερότητας και Ανάπτυξης, ως αποτέλεσμα της κρίσης χρέους, μείωσε σημαντικά την έκταση της παραοικονομίας, όχι όμως σε ικανό βαθμό ώστε να πλησιάσει το μέσο όρο των άλλων Ευρωπαϊκών χωρών. Η φοροδιαφυγή, σε αντίθεση με την παραοικονομία, παρουσίασε αύξηση την ίδια περίοδο, γεγονός που επιβεβαιώνεται και στην παρούσα μελέτη. Ωστόσο, οι επιπτώσεις των φαινομένων παραοικονομίας και φοροδιαφυγής στην οικονομική και δημοσιονομική πολιτική, παραμένουν «αγκάθι» για την Ελληνική οικονομία και καθιστούν απολύτως αναγκαία την αξιόπιστη εκτίμησή τους και την λήψη αποτελεσματικών μέτρων περιορισμού τους. Προκειμένου να διερευνηθούν οι τάσεις και εξελίξεις του φαινομένου εκπονήθηκε μελέτη παρατήρησης σε αντιπροσωπευτικό δείγμα ελεγκτών φορολογικής διοίκησης (n=124), με τη χρήση ερωτηματολογίου, προκειμένου να εξεταστούν οι πεποιθήσεις των δημόσιων λειτουργών σε ελεγκτικά σώματα της Αττικής, σε σχέση με τα φαινόμενα της παραοικονομίας και της φοροδιαφυγής, τις αιτίες και επιπτώσεις των φαινομένων αυτών στην οικονομία και κυρίως στην δημοσιονομική πολιτική της χώρας, καθώς και τις πεποιθήσεις τους σχετικά με την σημαντικότητα της συμβολής τους στην προσπάθεια περιορισμού της. Από την παρούσα εμπειρική μελέτη, συνάγεται ότι την περίοδο που η Ελλάδα βρισκόταν υπό αυστηρή δημοσιονομική επιτήρηση, η έκταση της παραοικονομίας και της φοροδιαφυγής αυξήθηκε. Συνηθέστερες ωστόσο πρακτικές παραοικονομίας κατά τους ερωτώμενους ελεγκτές, αποτελούν η παροχή υπηρεσιών στο σπίτι, το εμπόριο ναρκωτικών- οπλών-λευκής σαρκός, το υπαίθριο εμπόριο των μεταναστών, τα παράνομα τυχερά παίγνια και η αδήλωτη δεύτερη απασχόληση, ενώ πρακτικές που συνήθως χρησιμοποιούν για να φοροδιαφεύγουν οι Έλληνες, είναι η μη έκδοση φορολογικών παραστατικών, υπο-υπερτιμολογήσεις, μη ή ανακριβή δήλωση φόρων και εικονικές συναλλαγές (εικονικά παραστατικά).

description: In contact with a superconductor, a normal metal modifies its properties due to Andreev reflection. In the current work, the local density of states (LDOS) of superconductor - normal metal Mo$_{78}$Ge$_{22}$ - Au bilayers are studied by means of STM applied from the Au side. Three bilayers have been prepared on silicate glass substrate consisting of 100, 10 and 5 nm MoGe thin films covered always by 5 nm Au layer. The tunneling spectra were measured at temperatures from 0.5 K to 7 K. The two-dimensional cross-correlation between topography and normalized zero-bias conductance (ZBC) indicates a proximity effect between 100 and 10 nm MoGe thin films and Au layer where a superconducting gap slightly smaller than that of bulk MoGe is observed. The effect of the thinnest 5 nm MoGe layer on Au leads to much smaller gap moreover the LDOS reveals almost completely suppressed coherence peaks. This is attributed to a strong pair-breaking effect of spin-flip processes at the interface between MoGe films and the substrate.

description: Sensor management in multi-object stochastic systems is a theoretically and computationally challenging problem. This paper presents a novel approach to the multi-target multi-sensor control problem within the partially observed Markov decision process (POMDP) framework. We model the multi-object state as a labeled multi-Bernoulli random finite set (RFS), and use the labeled multi-Bernoulli filter in conjunction with minimizing a task-driven control objective function: posterior expected error of cardinality and state (PEECS). A major contribution is a guided search for multi-dimensional optimization in the multi-sensor control command space, using coordinate descent method. In conjunction with the Generalized Covariance Intersection method for multi-sensor fusion, a fast multi-sensor algorithm is achieved. Numerical studies are presented in several scenarios where numerous controllable (mobile) sensors track multiple moving targets with different levels of observability. The results show that our method works significantly faster than the approach taken by a state of art method, with similar tracking errors.

description: We study the compression and extension dynamics of a DNA-like polymer interacting with non-DNA binding and DNA-binding proteins, by means of computer simulations. The geometry we consider is inspired by recent experiments probing the compressional elasticity of the bacterial nucleoid (DNA plus associated proteins), where DNA is confined into a cylindrical container and subjected to the action of a "piston" - a spherical bead to which an external force is applied. We quantify the effect of steric interactions (excluded volume) on the force-extension curves as the polymer is compressed. We find that non-DNA-binding proteins, even at low densities, exert an osmotic force which can be a lot larger than the entropic force exerted by the compressed DNA. The trends we observe are qualitatively robust with respect to changes in protein size, and are similar for neutral and charged proteins (and DNA). We also quantify the dynamics of DNA expansion following removal of the "piston": while the expansion is well fitted by power laws, the apparent exponent depends on protein concentration, and protein-DNA interaction in a significant way. We further highlight an interesting kinetic process which we observe during the expansion of DNA interacting with DNA-binding proteins when the interaction strength is intermediate: the proteins bind while the DNA is packaged by the compression force, but they "pop-off" one-by-one as the force is removed, leading to a slow unzipping kinetics. Finally, we quantify the importance of supercoiling, which is an important feature of bacterial DNA in vivo.

description: Spatial understanding is a fundamental aspect of computer vision and integral for human-level reasoning about images, making it an important component for grounded language understanding. While recent text-to-image synthesis (T2I) models have shown unprecedented improvements in photorealism, it is unclear whether they have reliable spatial understanding capabilities. We investigate the ability of T2I models to generate correct spatial relationships among objects and present VISOR, an evaluation metric that captures how accurately the spatial relationship described in text is generated in the image. To benchmark existing models, we introduce a dataset, SR2D, that contains sentences describing two or more objects and the spatial relationships between them. We construct an automated evaluation pipeline to recognize objects and their spatial relationships, and employ it in a large-scale evaluation of T2I models. Our experiments reveal a surprising finding that, although state-of-the-art T2I models exhibit high image quality, they are severely limited in their ability to generate multiple objects or the specified spatial relations between them. Our analyses demonstrate several biases and artifacts of T2I models such as the difficulty with generating multiple objects, a bias towards generating the first object mentioned, spatially inconsistent outputs for equivalent relationships, and a correlation between object co-occurrence and spatial understanding capabilities. We conduct a human study that shows the alignment between VISOR and human judgement about spatial understanding. We offer the SR2D dataset and the VISOR metric to the community in support of T2I reasoning research.
