description: The contributor's sister, who was 18 years old, was in the ATS, based in Guildford, Surrey, and brought back part of an anti-aircraft shell.The anti-aircraft shell was fired at the Germans from the English coast. It was owned by their great aunt, and was a gift from one of her patients. The hospital brought troops in from the beaches and treated them. It is dated 1945 on the bottom.The contributor was 9/10 years old. He remembers that planes in Worcester would follow the river. They were low bombers, one plane to a specific target. A plane came down to about 40-50ft, and dropped a bomb on Aleco Engineering. It was brought down later in Kent. The Germans used the Severn Estuary as navigation into the Midlands. They knew they were in Worcester as there was soot in the river. They could see fires burning in Coventry from Worcester. There was an aircraft recognition chart in school; everyone could recognise planes.A pipeline was built from Diglis alongside the Severn; it was a network all through the county to send aviation fuel through. There were factories big in gun building in Worcester, like the Blackpole ammunition factory.Perdiswell was a training camp for Royal Airforce. One pilot tried to make an emergency landing and hit Guiford Bridge. The contributor also remembered Croome, Top Secret Intelligence, and prisoners being sent to the Isle of Wight.There were air raid shelters made of brick in the middle of the road. They held 75-100 people at most in every street. The wardens hut was built of thick steel, lined with sandbags, and had its own telephone line to report anything.

description: Cybersecurity remains a top priority globally in 2024, with cyberattacks growing in frequency and sophistication. The dynamic nature of cybersecurity is influenced by advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), increased adoption of cloud computing, and heightened state-sponsored attacks. With corporations undergoing rapid digital transformation, cybersecurity has become a critical component in safeguarding digital systems. The global cybersecurity market continues to expand as new threats emerge, regulatory frameworks evolve, and organizations recognize the growing importance of data protection.

This article explores key trends shaping cybersecurity in 2024, highlighting major incidents, such as breaches involving CrowdStrike and AT&T, and offering insights into how organizations can address the escalating threat landscape. We will examine emerging trends, including AI-driven attacks, ransomware, cloud vulnerabilities, and state-sponsored cyber warfare, while providing actionable recommendations for companies to fortify their defenses.
Inefficient Angular Momentum Transport in Accretion Disk Boundary Layers: Angular Momentum Belt in the Boundary Layer

description: We present unstratified 3D MHD simulations of an accretion disk with a boundary layer (BL) that have a duration $\sim 1000$ orbital periods at the inner radius of the accretion disk. We find the surprising result that angular momentum piles up in the boundary layer, which results in a rapidly rotating belt of accreted material at the surface of the star. The angular momentum stored in this belt increases monotonically in time, which implies that angular momentum transport mechanisms in the BL are inefficient and do not couple the accretion disk to the star. This is in spite of the fact that magnetic fields are advected into the BL from the disk and supersonic shear instabilities in the BL excite acoustic waves. In our simulations, these waves only carry a small fraction ($\sim 10 \%$) of the angular momentum required for steady state accretion. Using analytical theory and 2D viscous simulations in the $R-ϕ$ plane, we derive an analytical criterion for belt formation to occur in the BL in terms of the ratio of the viscosity in the accretion disk to the viscosity in the BL. Our MHD simulations have a dimensionless viscosity ($α$) in the BL that is at least a factor of $\sim 100$ smaller than that in the disk. We discuss the implications of these results for BL dynamics and emission.

description: We have extended our earlier simulations of the high temperature behaviour of lattice QCD with two light flavours of staggered quarks on a $16^3 \times 8$ lattice to lower quark mass (m_q=0.00625). The transition from hadronic matter to a quark-gluon plasma is observed at $6/g^2=5.49(2)$ corresponding to a temperature of $T_c \approx 140$MeV. We present measurements of observables which probe the nature of the quark-gluon plasma and serve to distinguish it from hadronic matter. Although the transition is quite abrupt, we have seen no indications that it is first order.

description: The contributor's father John Cox (who died in 1990) was still fighting the Japanese in Burma after VE day, and in parts of India which are now Pakistan. He survived Dunkirk beaches, and was then sent to Burma from England. John travelled through Burma and came back through India.The contributor's mother saved all her rations, baked a fruitcake and sent it from Kidderminster to Burma. John shared it with his friends. The contributor's mother lived on her own during the war and worked in the munitions factories.The contributor brought a letter from a friend, L. Hill, sent on 15 October 1944, describing how the lights came on after a blackout. They also brought several group pictures of men who came home from Burma, and a solo photo of their father in army uniform for Dunkirk. They also brought a journal of marching through Burma, describing events leading to the last battle, the Battle of Kohima, through jungles and mountains. Mules carried their equipment. There is also a picture of someone receiving an award, the 2nd Battalion of 7th Worcester's Batallion, and a service hymnal. The contributor also described a memorial service, and a roll of honour. They brought a ring given to John in Burma, probably owned by a higher ranking officer. The symbol is the cross keys of York. It was given to him when stationed in 7th Worcester.They also brought books belonging to John. 'Navigation by the stars' (for the southern hemisphere) is partly eaten by ants. When in the jungle, soldiers couldn't sleep because of the Japanese so they studied the stars. A pocket guide to Burma describes culture of the country, and how to speak the language in case of emergencies. They relied on Gurkas. The phrase book and vocabularies explains how to study and learn the language. There is also a log of information from 1943 and a Hyderabad state diary.The contributor brought John's jacket buttons, either 7th Worcester or Burma Stars, medals from 7th Worcester, medals from Burma Star x 2, and a defence medal. These were medals for 'efficient service'.John never really spoke about the war. He was a member of the Dunkirk Veterans. The contributor brought prayer cards which were taken from the menu at a Dunkirk Veterans reunion dinner in Kidderminster; there are prayers on the back of the menu, written by John Donne. He went to every reunion dinner until he died.

description: Designers often create visualizations to achieve specific high-level analytical or communication goals. These goals require people to naturally extract complex, contextualized, and interconnected patterns in data. While limited prior work has studied general high-level interpretation, prevailing perceptual studies of visualization effectiveness primarily focus on isolated, predefined, low-level tasks, such as estimating statistical quantities. This study more holistically explores visualization interpretation to examine the alignment between designers' communicative goals and what their audience sees in a visualization, which we refer to as their comprehension. We found that statistics people effectively estimate from visualizations in classical graphical perception studies may differ from the patterns people intuitively comprehend in a visualization. We conducted a qualitative study on three types of visualizations -- line graphs, bar graphs, and scatterplots -- to investigate the high-level patterns people naturally draw from a visualization. Participants described a series of graphs using natural language and think-aloud protocols. We found that comprehension varies with a range of factors, including graph complexity and data distribution. Specifically, 1) a visualization's stated objective often does not align with people's comprehension, 2) results from traditional experiments may not predict the knowledge people build with a graph, and 3) chart type alone is insufficient to predict the information people extract from a graph. Our study confirms the importance of defining visualization effectiveness from multiple perspectives to assess and inform visualization practices.

Abstract
Desmopressin 25 and 50 μg oral lyophilisates (hereafter Noqdirna®/Nocdurna®) are a new rapid-dispersing formulation of desmopressin that is indicated for the symptomatic treatment of nocturia due to nocturnal polyuria in adults of all ages. Noqdirna®/Nocdurna® is administered by placing the lyophilisate under the tongue until it dissolves, and provides greater absorption and bioavailability, as well as a more predictable pharmacokinetic profile, than standard oral desmopressin tablets, allowing lower desmopressin dosages to be used to achieve the same clinical outcomes. As responses to desmopressin differ by gender, dosages of Noqdirna®/Nocdurna® are also gender specific (25 μg in women and 50 μg in men). These dosages effectively reduced the number of nocturnal voids and increased the time to first nocturnal void in patients with nocturia, leading to improvements in sleep and nocturia-related quality of life. The use of desmopressin is associated with a risk of hyponatraemia; however, the risk is lower when lower dosages, such as 25 and 50 μg, are used. To further reduce the risk of hyponatraemia, gender-specific dosages of Noqdirna®/Nocdurna® should be used and serum sodium levels monitored appropriately before and during treatment.

On the structure of isometries between noncommutative Lp spaces

description: We prove some structure results for isometries between noncommutative Lp spaces associated to von Neumann algebras. We find that an isometry T: Lp(M_1) to Lp(M_2) (1 le p < infty, p not 2) can be canonically expressed in a certain simple form whenever M_1 has variants of Watanabe's extension property. Conversely, this form always defines an isometry provided that M_1 is "approximately semifinite" (defined below). Although neither of these properties is fully understood, we show that they are enjoyed by all semifinite algebras and hyperfinite algebras (with no summand of type I_2), plus others. Thus the classification is stronger than Yeadon's theorem for semifinite algebras (and its recent improvement in [JRS]), and the proof uses independent techniques. Related to this, we examine the modular theory for positive projections from a von Neumann algebra onto a Jordan image of another von Neumann algebra, and use such projections to construct new Lp isometries by interpolation. Some complementary results and questions are also presented.

description: Five novel transition metal coordination polymers (CPs) or commonly called as CPs based on chelating ligand 1-(2, 4-dihydroxy-5-(1-(hydroxyamino)ethyl)-3-bromophenyl) ethanoneoxime (DHBO) (L) with different transition metal ions were synthesized by microwave-assisted technique, viz. {[Mn(L)(H2O)2].2H2O}n (1), {[Co(L)(H2O)2].2H2O}n (2), {[Ni(L)].H2O}n (3), {[Cu(L)].H2O}n (4), and {[Zn(L)(H2O)2].2H2O}n (5). As-synthesized CPs were characterized by elemental analyses, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction spectroscopy, diffused reflectance spectroscopy, magnetic measurements, and thermogravimetric property (TG/DTA) to find out their structures and geometries. The morphological behaviours of polymers were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). SEM investigations reveal different shapes and structures, although they were synthesized from a single ligand. Captivatingly, spectroscopic and magnetic measurements revealed octahedral geometry for 1, 2, and 5, while 3 and 4 exhibited a square planar. Six coordinated geometries were constructed due to a tetradentate chelating ligand (L) and two coordinated water molecules, while square planar geometry constructed by only a tetradentate ligand. Furthermore, the main aim of this article is to find out the comparative thermal stability and electrical conductivity of 1–5. Also, kinetic parameters like activation energy, order of reaction, enthalpy change , entropy change, and free energy change were evaluated using Freeman-Carroll method.
The U-shaped distribution of globular cluster specific frequencies in a biased globular cluster formation scenario

description: Using high-resolution numerical simulations, we investigate mass- and luminosity-normalized specific frequencies (T_N and S_N, respectively) of globular cluster systems (GCSs) in order to understand the origin of the observed U-shaped relation between S_N and V-band magnitude (M_V) of their host galaxies. We adopt a biased GC formation scenario in which GC formation is truncated in galaxy halos that are virialized at a later redshift, z_trun. T_N is derived for galaxies with GCs today and converted into S_N for reasonable galaxy mass-to-light-ratios (M/L). We find that T_N depends on halo mass (M_h) in the sense that T_N can be larger in more massive halos with M_h > 10^9 M_sun, if z_trun is as high as 15. We however find that the dependence is too weak to explain the observed S_N-M_V relation and the wide range of S_N in low-mass early-type galaxies with -20.5 < M_V < -16.0 mag for a reasonable constant M/L. The M_V-dependence of S_N for the low-mass galaxies can be well reproduced, if the mass-to-light-ratio M_h/L_V \propto M_h^α, where αis as steep as -1. Based on these results, we propose that the origin of the observed U-shaped S_N-M_V relation of GCSs can be understood in terms of the bimodality in the dependence of M_h/L_V on M_h of their host galaxies. We also suggest that the observed large dispersionin S_N in low-mass galaxies is due partly to the large dispersion in T_N.

description: There are numerous possibilities and motivations for an adaptive BCI, which may not be easy to clarify and organize for a newcomer to the field. To our knowledge, there has not been any work done in classifying the literature on adaptive BCI in a comprehensive and structured way. We propose a conceptual framework, a taxonomy of adaptive BCI methods which encompasses most important approaches to fit them in such a way that a reader can clearly visualize which elements are being adapted and for what reason. In the interest of having a clear review of existing adaptive BCIs, this framework considers adaptation approaches for both the user and the machine, i.e., using instructional design observations as well as the usual machine learning techniques. This framework not only provides a coherent review of such extensive literature but also enables the reader to perceive gaps and flaws in the current BCI systems, which would hopefully bring novel solutions for an overall improvement.

description: The phase diagram is investigated for SU(2) lattice gauge theory in d=3, coupled to adjoint scalars. For small values of the quartic scalar coupling, lambda, the transition separating Higgs and confinement phases is found to be first-order, in agreement with earlier work by Nadkarni. The surface of second-order transitions conjectured by Nadkarni, however, is shown instead to correspond to crossover behaviour. This conclusion is based on a finite size analysis of the scalar mass and susceptibility. The nature of the phase transition at the termination of first-order behaviour is investigated and we find evidence for a critical point at which the scalar mass vanishes. The photon mass and confining string tension are measured and are found to be negligibly small in the Higgs phase. This is correlated with the very small density of magnetic monopoles in the Higgs phase. The string tension and photon mass rise rapidly as the crossover is traversed towards the symmetric phase.

description: Results of an extensive field study to understand the balance of the costs and benefits of cocoa agroforests in Ghana. Over a period of two years (2015-2017), including one normal and one exceptionally dry year, we measured cocoa production, losses to disease, soil fertility, temperature, relative humidity, soil moisture, carbon stocks, and biodiversity of multiple taxa in 20 cocoa agroforest plots (30x30 m) selected systematically along a gradient of shade-tree cover (14-76% shade-tree cover) in a globally-significant cocoa growing region in Ghana, West Africa. To isolate the effects of shade trees from confounding factors such as differences in farm management, soil type, and local microclimate, all plots were compared with paired monoculture plots on the same farms. Full methods are published in Blaser et al. 2018 Nature Sustainability.

description: This paper presents new APEX submillimetre molecular line observations of three low-mass protostars, IRS7A, IRS7B, and IRAS32, in the R Coronae Australis molecular cloud complex. The molecular excitation analysis is performed using a statistical equilibrium radiative transfer code. The derived beam averaged fractional abundances vary by less than a factor of two among the three sources, except those of H2CO and CH3OH, which show differences of about an order of magnitude. The molecular abundances are similar to those typically found in other star-forming regions in the Galaxy, such as the $ρ$~Oph and Perseus molecular clouds. There is a marked difference in the kinetic temperatures derived for the protobinary source IRS7 from H2CO (40-60 K) and CH3OH (20 K), possibly indicating a difference in origin of the emission from these two molecules.

description: It is necessary to study the properties of Weyl semimetal nanostructures for potential applications in nanoelectronics. Here we study the Weyl semimetal quantum dot with a most simple model Hamiltonian with only two Weyl points. We focus on the low-energy electronic structure and show the correspondence to that of three-dimensional Weyl semimetal, such as Weyl point and Fermi arc. We find that there exist both surface and bulk states near Fermi level. The direct gap of bulk states reaches the minimum with the location determined by Weyl point. There exists a quantum number with only several values supporting surface states, which is the projection of Fermi arc. The property of surface state is studied in detail, including circular persistent current, orbital magnetic moment, and chiral spin polarization. Surface states will be broken by a strong magnetic field and evolve into Landau levels gradually. Simple expressions are derived to describe the energy spectra and electronic properties of surface states both in the presence and absence of magnetic field. In addition, this study may help design a method to verify Weyl semimetal by separating out the signal of surface states since quantum dot has the largest surface-to-volume ratio.

description: In recent years, protocols have been established to differentiate stem and precursor cells into more mature cell types. However, progress in this field has been hampered by difficulties to assess the differentiation status of stem cell-derived cells in an unbiased manner. Here, we present an analysis pipeline based on published data and methods to quantify the degree of differentiation and to identify transcriptional control factors explaining differences to the intended target cells or tissues. The pipeline requires RNA-seq or gene array data of the stem cell starting population, derived ‘mature’ cells and primary target cells or tissue. It consists of a principle component analysis to represent global expression changes and to identify possible problems of the dataset that require special attention, such as batch effects; clustering techniques to identify gene groups with similar features; over-representation analysis to characterize biological motifs and transcriptional control factors of the identified gene clusters; and metagenes as well as gene regulatory networks for quantitative cell-type assessment and identification of influential transcription factors. Possibilities and limitations of the analysis pipeline are illustrated using the example of human embryonic stem cell and human induced pluripotent cells to generate ‘hepatocyte-like cells'. The pipeline quantifies the degree of incomplete differentiation as well as remaining stemness and identifies unwanted features, such as colon- and fibroblast-associated gene clusters that are absent in real hepatocytes but typically induced by currently available differentiation protocols. Finally, transcription factors responsible for incomplete and unwanted differentiation are identified. The proposed method is widely applicable and allows an unbiased and quantitative assessment of stem cell-derived cells.This article is part of the themed issue ‘Designer human tissue: coming to a lab near you’.
An electronic Maxwell demon in the coherent strong-coupling regime

description: We consider a feedback control loop rectifying particle transport through a single quantum dot that is coupled to two electronic leads. While monitoring the occupation of the dot, we apply conditional control operations by changing the tunneling rates between the dots and its reservoirs, which can be interpreted as the action of a Maxwell demon opening or closing a shutter. This can generate a current at equilibrium or even against a potential bias, producing electric power from information. While this interpretation is well-explored in the weak-coupling limit, we can address the strong-coupling regime with a fermionic reaction-coordinate mapping, which maps the system into a serial triple quantum dot coupled to two leads. There, we find that a continuous projective measurement of the central dot would lead to a complete suppression of electronic transport due to the quantum Zeno effect. In contrast, a microscopic model for the quantum point contact detector implements a weak measurement, which allows for closure of the control loop without inducing transport blockade. In the weak-coupling regime between the central dot and its leads, the energy flows associated with the feedback loop are negligible, and the information gained in the measurement induces a bound for the generated electric power. In contrast, in the strong coupling limit, the protocol may require more energy for opening and closing the shutter than electric power produced, such that the device is no longer information-dominated and can thus not be interpreted as a Maxwell demon.

Four-dimensional Simulation of the Hot Electroweak Phase Transition with the SU(2) Gauge-Higgs Model

description: We study the finite-temperature electroweak phase transition of the minimal standard model within the four-dimensional SU(2) gauge-Higgs model. Monte Carlo simulations are performed for intermediate values of the Higgs boson mass in the range $50 \lesssim M_H \lesssim 100$GeV on a lattice with the temporal size $N_t=2$. The order of the transition is systematically examined using finite-size scaling methods. Behavior of the interface tension and the latent heat for an increasing Higgs boson mass is also investigated. Our results suggest that the first-order transition terminates around $M_H \sim 80$GeV.

On the best Hardy constant for quasi-arithmetic means and homogeneous deviation means

description: The aim of this paper is to characterize the so-called Hardy means, i.e., those means $M\colon\bigcup_{n=1}^\infty \mathbb{R}_+^n\to\mathbb{R}_+$ that satisfy the inequality $$ \sum_{n=1}^\infty M(x_1,\dots,x_n) \le C\sum_{n=1}^\infty x_n $$ for all positive sequences $(x_n)$ with some finite positive constant $C$. The smallest constant $C$ satisfying this property is called the Hardy constant of the mean $M$. In this paper we determine the Hardy constant in the cases when the mean $M$ is either a concave quasi-arithmetic or a concave and homogeneous deviation mean.

Social Inclusion of People with Disabilities in Nigeria

description: Accessibility is indeed a precondition for people with disabilities to enjoy their human rights as it ensures that they have the same opportunities and choices as others. Without accessibility, many rights such as the right to education, work, health and freedom of expression, become inaccessible or out of reach for people with disabilities. Even the possibility of accessing justice by seeking redress and obtaining remedies for infringement of rights would be impeded. Using a doctrinal research methodology, the paper explored the access impediments to social services for persons with disabilities in Nigeria. The paper found that the problem ofaccessing social services is an even bigger challenge for people with disabilities. Inaccessible physical environments, inadequate assistive technology or rehabilitative devices, and poor services, systems, and policies continue to hinder the access of persons with disabilities to social services in Nigeria. The paper therefore recommended, among other things, that to develop an intervention that is effective in promoting the access of people with disabilities to social services, it is necessary to have a comprehensive understanding of the potential impediments to such access and the influence they have on it. There is also a need to mainstreamdisability into development policies and social services, as this promotes inclusion and addresses the barriers that prevent people with disabilities from accessing these services.

description: In this letter we present the results of a wavelet analysis of the radio light curve of the BL Lac Object PKS B0048-097 from the University of Michigan Radio Astronomy Observatory monitoring program at 8GHz during twenty-five years, from 1979 to 2004. The results show a remarkable periodicity of 450-470 days in the early 1980s that changed to a ~585 day periodicity in the late 1980s to early 1990s. A less pronounced ~400 day periodicity is found after \~1995. Very-long-baseline interferometry imaging at 15GHz shows dramatic structural changes in the usually unresolved source between two epochs, 1995.57 and 2002.38. The pronounced northward directed jet seen in the 2002 image differs by more than 90 degrees in direction from the source structure found in earlier epochs. These findings make PKS B0048-097 a primary target for multi-wavelength observations and intensive radio monitoring to decipher the blazar-variability phenomenon.

description: We calculate the two flavor equation of state for QCD on lattices with lattice spacing a=(6T)^{-1} and find that cutoff effects are substantially reduced compared to an earlier study using a=(4T)^{-1}. However, it is likely that significant cutoff effects remain. We fit the lattice data to expected forms of the free energy density for a second order phase transition at zero-quark-mass, which allows us to extrapolate the equation of state to m_q=0 and to extract the speed of sound. We find that the equation of state depends weakly on the quark mass for small quark mass.

description: We introduce a new class of zero-dimensional weighted complete intersections, by abstracting the essential features of rational cohomology algebras of equal rank homogeneous spaces of compact connected Lie groups. We prove that, on a 1-connected closed manifold M whose rational cohomology algebra belongs to this class, every isometry has a non-trivial invariant geodesic, for any metric on M. We use rational surgery to construct large classes of new examples for which the above result may be applied.
