description: Drosophila uses 50 different olfactory receptor neuron (ORN) classes that are clustered within distinct sensilla subtypes to decipher their chemical environment. Each sensilla subtype houses 1–4 ORN identities that arise through asymmetric divisions of a single sensory organ precursor (SOP). Despite a number of mutational studies investigating the regulation of ORN development, a majority of the transcriptional programs that lead to the different ORN classes in the developing olfactory system are unknown. Here we use transcriptional profiling across the time series of antennal development to identify novel transcriptional programs governing the differentiation of ORNs. We surveyed four critical developmental stages of the olfactory system: 3rd instar larval (prepatterning), 8 hours after puparium formation (APF, SOP selection), 40 hrs APF (neurogenesis), and adult antennae. We focused on the expression profiles of olfactory receptor genes and transcription factors—the two main classes of genes that regulate the sensory identity of ORNs. We identify distinct clusters of genes that have overlapping temporal expression profiles suggesting they have a key role during olfactory system development. We show that the expression of the transcription factor distal antenna (dan) is highly similar to other prepatterning factors and is required for the expression of a subset of ORs.

description: Interactive visualizations are crucial in ad hoc data exploration and analysis. However, with the growing number of massive datasets, generating visualizations in interactive timescales is increasingly challenging. One approach for improving the speed of the visualization tool is via data reduction in order to reduce the computational overhead, but at a potential cost in visualization accuracy. Common data reduction techniques, such as uniform and stratified sampling, do not exploit the fact that the sampled tuples will be transformed into a visualization for human consumption. We propose a visualization-aware sampling (VAS) that guarantees high quality visualizations with a small subset of the entire dataset. We validate our method when applied to scatter and map plots for three common visualization goals: regression, density estimation, and clustering. The key to our sampling method's success is in choosing tuples which minimize a visualization-inspired loss function. Our user study confirms that optimizing this loss function correlates strongly with user success in using the resulting visualizations. We also show the NP-hardness of our optimization problem and propose an efficient approximation algorithm. Our experiments show that, compared to previous methods, (i) using the same sample size, VAS improves user's success by up to 35% in various visualization tasks, and (ii) VAS can achieve a required visualization quality up to 400 times faster.

description: Dengue vaccine trials have revealed deficits in our understanding of the mechanisms of protective immunity, demonstrating a need to measure epitope-specific antibody responses against each DENV serotype. HmAb 5J7 binds to a complex, 3-monomer spanning quaternary epitope in the DENV3 envelope (E) protein, but it is unclear whether all interactions are needed for neutralization. Structure guided design and reverse genetics were used to sequentially transplant larger portions of the DENV3-specific 5J7 mAb epitope into dengue virus serotype 4 (DENV4). We observed complete binding and neutralization only when the entire 3 monomer spanning epitope was transplanted into DENV4, providing empirical proof that cooperative monomer-hmAb 5J7 interactions maximize activity. The rDENV4/3 virus containing the most expanded 5J7 epitope was also significantly more sensitive than WT DENV4 to neutralization by DENV3 primary immune sera. We conclude that the hinge-spanning region of the 5J7 quaternary epitope is a target for serotype-specific neutralizing antibodies after DENV3 infection.
Modelling $Z\rightarrowττ$ processes in ATLAS with $τ$-embedded $Z\rightarrowμμ$ data

description: This paper describes the concept, technical realisation and validation of a largely data-driven method to model events with $Z\rightarrowττ$ decays. In $Z\rightarrowμμ$ events selected from proton--proton collision data recorded at $\sqrt{s}=8$ TeV with the ATLAS experiment at the LHC in 2012, the $Z$ decay muons are replaced by $τ$ leptons from simulated $Z\rightarrowττ$ decays at the level of reconstructed tracks and calorimeter cells. The $τ$ lepton kinematics are derived from the kinematics of the original muons. Thus, only the well-understood decays of the $Z$ boson and $τ$ leptons as well as the detector response to the $τ$ decay products are obtained from simulation. All other aspects of the event, such as the $Z$ boson and jet kinematics as well as effects from multiple interactions, are given by the actual data. This so-called $τ$-embedding method is particularly relevant for Higgs boson searches and analyses in $ττ$ final states, where $Z\rightarrowττ$ decays constitute a large irreducible background that cannot be obtained directly from data control samples. In this paper, the relevant concepts are discussed based on the implementation used in the ATLAS Standard Model $H\rightarrowττ$ analysis of the full datataset recorded during 2011 and 2012.

description: The very long-term evolution of the hierarchical restricted three-body problem with a slightly aligned precessing quadrupole potential is investigated analytically for librating Kozai-Lidov cycles (KLCs). \citet{klein2023} presented an analytic solution for the approximate dynamics on a very long timescale developed in the neighborhood of the KLCs fixed point where the eccentricity vector is close to unity and aligned (or anti aligned) with the quadrupole axis and for a precession rate equal to the angular frequency of the secular Kozai-Lidov Equations around this fixed point. In this Letter, we generalize the analytic solution to encompass a wider range of precession rates. We show that the analytic solution approximately describes the quantitative dynamics for systems with librating KLCs for a wide range of initial conditions, including values that are far from the fixed point which is somewhat unexpected. In particular, using the analytic solution we map the strikingly rich structures that arise for precession rates similar to the Kozai-Lidov timescale (ratio of a few).

description: Through the scattering of light-pseudoscalar mesons ($π,K,η,η'$) off charmed mesons ($D, D_s$), we study the $D^{*}_{s0}(2317)$ state and other relevant charm scalar mesons in a unitarized chiral effective field theory approach. We investigate the charm scalar meson poles with different strangeness ($S$) and isospin ($I$) quantum numbers as well as their corresponding residues, which provide the coupling strengths of the charm scalar mesons. Both the light-quark mass and $N_C$ dependences of the pole positions of the $D^{*}_{s0}(2317)$ and the poles with $(S,I)=(0,1/2)$ are analyzed in detail in this work. Interestingly we observe quite similar pion mass trajectories for the resonance pole at around 2.1 GeV with $(S,I)=(0,1/2)$ to those of the $f_0(500)$ given in the literature. When increasing the values of $N_C$ we find that a bound state and a virtual state in the $(S,I)=(1,0)$ channel asymmetrically approach the $D K$ threshold for $N_C<6$, and they meet at this threshold at $N_C=6$. When $N_C>6$, the bound and virtual states move into the complex plane on the second Riemann sheet and become a symmetric pair of resonance poles. For large enough values of $N_C$, neither the $D^{*}_{s0}(2317)$ pole nor the poles with $(S,I)=(0,1/2)$ tend to fall down to the real axis, indicating that they do not behave like a standard quark-antiquark meson at large $N_C$.

description: Triclosan (TCS), an antimicrobial chemical with potential endocrine-disrupting properties, may pose a risk to early embryonic development and cellular homeostasis during adulthood. Here, we show that TCS induces toxicity in both the nematode C. elegans and human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) by disrupting the SKN-1/Nrf2-mediated oxidative stress response. Specifically, TCS exposure affected C. elegans survival and hMSC proliferation in a dose-dependent manner. Cellular analysis showed that TCS inhibited the nuclear localization of SKN-1/Nrf2 and the expression of its target genes, which were associated with oxidative stress response. Notably, TCS-induced toxicity was significantly reduced by either antioxidant treatment or constitutive SKN-1/Nrf2 activation. As Nrf2 is strongly associated with aging and chemoresistance, these findings will provide a novel approach to the identification of therapeutic targets and disease treatment.

description: This paper presents a new class of probability distributions generated from the gamma distribution. For the new class proposed, we present several statistical properties, such as the risk function, the density expansions, Moment-generating function, characteristic function, the moments of order m, central moments of order m, the log likelihood and its partial derivatives and also entropy, kurtosis, symmetry and variance. These same properties are determined for a particular distribution within this new class that is used to illustrate the capability of the proposed new class through an application to a real data set. The database presented in Choulakian and Stephens (2001) was used. Six models are compared and for the selection of these models were used the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC), the Akaike Information Criterion corrected (AICc), Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC), Hannan Quinn Information Criterion (HQIC) and tests of Cramer-Von Mises and Anderson-Darling to assess the models fit. Finally, we present the conclusions from the analysis and comparison of the results obtained and the directions for future work.

The tests use the counts-in-cells method, an analysis of spherical harmonics, a test based on the two-point correlation function and a method based on multiscale methods. The tests suggest that the intermediate subclass of gamma-ray bursts are distributed anisotropically.

description: Tylophorine analogs have been shown to exhibit diverse activities against cancer, inflammation, arthritis, and lupus in vivo. In this study, we demonstrated that two tylophorine analogs, DCB-3503 and rac-cryptopleurine, exhibit potent inhibitory activity against hepatitis C virus (HCV) replication in genotype 1b Con 1 isolate. The inhibition of HCV replication is at least partially mediated through cellular heat shock cognate protein 70 (Hsc70). Hsc70 associates with the HCV replication complex by primarily binding to the poly U/UC motifs in HCV RNA. The interaction of DCB-3503 and rac-cryptopleurine with Hsc70 promotes the ATP hydrolysis activity of Hsc70 in the presence of the 3' poly U/UC motif of HCV RNA. Regulating the ATPase activity of Hsc70 may be one of the mechanisms by which tylophorine analogs inhibit HCV replication. This study demonstrates the novel anti-HCV activity of tylophorine analogs. Our results also highlight the importance of Hsc70 in HCV replication.

description: This study examines the impact of implementing innovative assessment methods on the accuracy, authenticity, and validity of assessing and evaluating learning outcomes in Open and Distance Learning (ODL) programs. A sample of 50 participants, including educators and administrators, provided their perceptions on the effectiveness of these methods through a Likert-scale questionnaire. The data were analyzed using a t-test to determine the significance of the findings. The results indicate that implementing innovative assessment methods tailored for ODL programs has a significant positive impact on the overall quality of ODL education. The participants rated the challenges in assessing and evaluating learning outcomes in ODL programs as significant, highlighting the need for innovative approaches to address these challenges. Furthermore, the participants expressed agreement with the statements that innovative assessment methods can improve the accuracy, authenticity, and validity of assessing learning outcomes, and that incorporating technology-supported assessments can overcome technological limitations and support issues. These findings suggest that ODL programs can benefit from the implementation of innovative assessment strategies to enhance the assessment of learning outcomes. By utilizing project-based assessments, authentic performance tasks, and technology-supported assessments, ODL programs can address the challenges faced in assessing and evaluating learning outcomes. Providing clear instructions and guidelines for assessments can also accommodate the diverse learner population in ODL programs. However, it is important to acknowledge certain limitations of this study. The small sample size and the reliance on self-reported perceptions limit the generalizability of the findings. Future research should aim to replicate the study on a larger scale and incorporate objective measures of learning outcomes. Additionally, investigating the long-term effects of implementing these methods on student engagement and academic performance would provide valuable insights for ODL program improvement. Thus, this study highlights the significance of implementing innovative assessment methods in ODL programs. The findings emphasize the potential for these methods to enhance the quality of education and improve the assessment of learning outcomes in ODL.

description: The $^{242}$Pu neutron-induced fission cross section was evaluated from 100 keV to 200 MeV. The experimental $^{242}$Pu and $^{235}$U fission cross sections and their ratios in the EXFOR library were reviewed and analysed by the least-squares method. Additional simultaneous evaluation was performed by including the experimental database of the $^{233,238}$U and $^{239,240,241}$Pu fission cross sections and their ratios developed for JENDL-5 evaluation. The $^{242}$Pu fission cross sections from our evaluation and JENDL-5 evaluation are close to each other below 1 MeV while systematically differ from each other above 10 MeV. The cross section from our evaluation is systematically lower than the JENDL-4.0 cross section in the prompt fission neutron spectrum peak region ($\sim$5% lower around 1 MeV). The newly evaluated $^{242}$Pu fission cross section was verified against the cross section measured in the $^{252}$Cf spontaneous fission neutron field and criticalities of small-sized LANL fast systems, and demonstrated better performance than the JENDL-4.0 cross section on the same level with the JENDL-5 cross section.

description: Gear drives are one of the most widely used transmission system in many machinery. Sound signals of a rotating machine contain the dynamic information about its health conditions. Not much information available in the literature reporting suitability of sound signals for fault diagnosis applications. Maximum numbers of literature are based on FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) analysis and have its own limitations with non-stationary signals like the ones from gears. In this paper, attempt has been made in using sound signals acquired from gears in good and simulated faulty conditions for the purpose of fault diagnosis through a machine learning approach. The descriptive statistical features were extracted from the acquired sound signals and the predominant features were selected using J48 decision tree technique. The selected features were then used for classification using Large Margin K-nearest neighbor approach. The paper also discusses the effect of various parameters on classification accuracy.

description: Vision: Completing the Australian Lithospheric Architecture Magnetotelluric Project by 2026 Background: The primary mission of the Australian Lithospheric Architecture Magnetotelluric Project (AusLAMP), commencing in 2013, has been to generate a 3D electrical resistivity model of the continental lithosphere from 3000 long-period MT sites spaced approximately 50 km. Progress: Since 2013 about 1400 sites have been funded and collected by multiple agencies including AuScope, Geoscience Australia and all State and Territory Geological Surveys. To date, South Australia, New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania have been completed, most of the Northern Territory and smaller parts of Queensland and Western Australia. However, in recent years the program has slowed through a combination of covid restrictions on travel, increased costs and issues of access. The influence of the UNCOVER agenda has also softened in the last few years with the new demand for critical minerals. Proposal: A pragmatic approach to complete the AusLAMP array in a reasonable time and cost is to reduce the site spacing from about 50 km to 100 km, as shown in the figure for remaining sites. The reduction in density loses some fidelity but completes national continental coverage and provides context for higher spatial density infill grids.

We find agreement with viscous hydrodynamics and classical Yang-Mills simulations in the regimes where they are applicable. By choosing initial conditions that are motivated by color-glass-condensate framework we find that for Q=2GeV and $α_s$=0.3 the system is approximately described by viscous hydrodynamics well before $τ\lesssim 1.0$ fm/c.

 Lectotype (designated here):— FRANCE. Jard. de Malm. Ventenat s.n. (G00359756!).
 Notes:— Apium prostratum Labillardière (1800) is a nomen nudum. In 1804 Ventenat described A. prostratum as one of the species that grew at the “Jardin de la Malmaison”, and indicated that the species is native from “la Nouvelle Hollande ” (Australia). The original material corresponds to a collection from Ventenat from plants cultivated at Malmaison´s Garden. Short (1979) indicates that the holotype of Apium prostratum Ventenat is housed at P, however, the material that we have found at P corresponds to gatherings from Australia collected by Labillardière (e.g. P00307178) and therefore are not part of the original material of Ventenat´s name. At G, however, we have found two accessions of the original material: G00359756 and G00478844. The latter, is at the same sheet with other two gatherings (G00478843 and G00478846) and apparently lacks material asscociated with the label by Ventenat, or it is unlikely to unequivocaly assign any of the specimens to it. On the contrary, G00359756 is the only specimen on the sheet and matches the protologue in the description and label indications, and was therefore designated as lectotype of Apium prostratum Ventenat.

description: La protección de la vida y la protección de la seguridad personal se encuentran entre las principales funciones del Estado, cuya importancia se extiende también a la dimensión social: seguridad, salud y orden público. Todo esto requiere un mayor esfuerzo interpretativo sobre la base de los derechos y sobre las protecciones reales dentro de contextos multidimensionales caracterizados por un alto nivel de complejidad. Este trabajo examina un aspecto problemático que concierne a la aplicación concreta de los derechos en contextos de emergencia, una cuestión vinculada a la incertidumbre del futuro. La pandemia actual altera el orden normal de la vida cotidiana, cuyas consecuencias son imprevistas, incuantificables y estructurales, pero, al mismo tiempo, también pone de relieve el problema de la distribución equitativa de los recursos. Además, la crisis de la pandemia ha debilitado el concepto de justicia debido a las diferentes orientaciones que han surgido sobre el terreno, haciendo del derecho a la salud -entendido como prevención, tratamiento, prestación de servicios médicos y de salud en general - un derecho económicamente determinado y dependiente de la necesidad de garantizar el equilibrio financiero del sistema. Esto requiere nuevas fórmulas políticas, nuevas formas de protección, nuevos paradigmas y nuevas decisiones para vincularse al futuro. The protection of life and personal safety are among the main functions of the state whose importance extends to the social dimension: security, health, and public order. All this requires a further interpretive effort about the foundation of rights and proper protections within multidimensional contexts characterized by high complexity. This paper examines a problematic aspect regarding the actual application of rights in emergency contexts, an issue linked to the uncertainty of the future. The current pandemic alters the normal order of daily life whose consequences are unforeseen, unquantifiable, and structural, but it also highlights the problem of the equitable distribution of resources. Moreover, the pandemic crisis has weakened the concept of justice due to the different orientations that have emerged in the field, making the right to health - which concerns prevention, treatment, provision of medical and health services - an economically determined right and dependent on the need to ensure the financial balance of the system. This requires new policy formulas, new forms of protection, new paradigms, and new decisions to engage with the future.

description: 9. Daucus pusillus Michaux (1803: 164).
 Lectotype (designated here):— USA. Michaux s.n. (P00757828!).
 Notes:—The protologue of Daucus pusillus (Michaux 1803) includes a reference to the original locality as “Hab. in campestribus Carolinae” but does not indicate a type nor makes a reference to any specimens. We designate here as the lectotype of Daucus pusillus a specimen collected by Michaux and included in Richard´s herbarium, deposited at P, that agrees with the original description.

description: Combination therapy is deployed for the treatment of multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii, as it can rapidly develop resistance to current antibiotics. This is the first study to investigate the synergistic effect of colistin/doripenem combination on the metabolome of A. baumannii. The metabolite levels were measured using LC-MS following treatment with colistin (2 mg/L) or doripenem (25 mg/L) alone, and their combination at 15 min, 1 hr and 4 hr (n = 4). Colistin caused early (15 min and 1 hr) disruption of the bacterial outer membrane and cell wall, as demonstrated by perturbation of glycerophospholipids and fatty acids. Concentrations of peptidoglycan biosynthesis metabolites decreased at 4 hr by doripenem alone, reflecting its mechanism of action. The combination induced significant changes to more key metabolic pathways relative to either monotherapy. Down-regulation of cell wall biosynthesis (via D-sedoheptulose 7-phosphate) and nucleotide metabolism (via D-ribose 5-phosphate) was associated with perturbations in the pentose phosphate pathway induced initially by colistin (15 min and 1 hr) and later by doripenem (4 hr). We discovered that the combination synergistically killed A. baumannii via time-dependent inhibition of different key metabolic pathways. Our study highlights the significant potential of systems pharmacology in elucidating the mechanism of synergy and optimizing antibiotic pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics.

description: In this paper we compute and analyse the transition rates and duration of reactive trajectories of the stochastic 1-D Allen-Cahn equations for both the Freidlin-Wentzell regime (weak noise or temperature limit) and finite-amplitude white noise, as well as for small and large domain. We demonstrate that extremely rare reactive trajectories corresponding to direct transitions between two metastable states are efficiently computed using an algorithm called adaptive multilevel splitting. This algorithm is dedicated to the computation of rare events and is able to provide ensembles of reactive trajectories in a very efficient way. In the small noise limit, our numerical results are in agreement with large-deviation predictions such as instanton-like solutions, mean first passages and escape probabilities. We show that the duration of reactive trajectories follows a Gumbel distribution like for one degree of freedom systems. Moreover, the mean duration growths logarithmically with the inverse temperature. The prefactor given by the potential curvature grows exponentially with size. The main novelty of our work is that we also perform an analysis of reactive trajectories for large noises and large domains. In this case, we show that the position of the reactive front is essentially a random walk. This time, the mean duration grows linearly with the inverse temperature and quadratically with the size. Using a phenomenological description of the system, we are able to calculate the transition rate, although the dynamics is described by neither Freidlin--Wentzell or Eyring--Kramers type of results. Numerical results confirm our analysis.

description: Understanding the non-Markovian mechanisms underlying the revivals of quantum entanglement in the presence of classical environments is central in the theory of quantum information. Tentative interpretations have been given by either the role of the environment as a control device or the concept of hidden entanglement. We address this issue from an information-theoretic point of view. To this aim, we consider a paradigmatic tripartite system, already realized in the laboratory, made of two independent qubits and a random classical field locally interacting with one qubit alone. We study the dynamical relationship between the two-qubit entanglement and the genuine tripartite correlations of the overall system, finding that collapse and revivals of entanglement correspond, respectively, to raise and fall of the overall tripartite correlations. Interestingly, entanglement dark periods can enable plateaux of nonzero tripartite correlations. We then explain this behavior in terms of information flows among the different parties of the system. Besides showcasing the phenomenon of the freezing of overall correlations, our results provide new insights on the origin of retrieval of entanglement within a hybrid quantum-classical system.

Linguaggio di guerra e guerra civile. Tra popolo e popolazione, appestati e governamentalità: l’eccezione diventa la norma.

description: In questo paper si citano alcuni esempi, non esaustivi, ma emblematici dell’uso del linguaggio di guerra impiegato dal momento della diffusione del covid-19 e ci si domanda che cosa esso produca. Se il primo obiettivo è sicuramente quello di “compattare” coloro cui si rivolge (un “popolo”?) tentando di annientare l’esercizio di spirito critico, si accompagna anche e inscindibilmente alla retorica del sacrificio. Insieme, questi due obiettivi, fungono da acceleratori di processi già in atto: si riflette su quanto velocemente si sia rinunciato ai diritti “borghesi”, ma anche a qualcosa di più profondo. Questo linguaggio partecipa poi all’ingiunzione planetaria a mobilitarsi, che sia per il “terrorismo”, per un terremoto, per gestire la rappresentazione di noi stessi nel mercato del lavoro e nella vita. Ci si chiede che cosa sia realmente il “popolo” e per farlo si sottolinea la sua differenza con la popolazione, e la sovrapposizione che quest’ultima sempre rischia con “gli appestati” (Agamben, Foucault). A fronte del martellante utilizzo di questo linguaggio e della crisi, in grado di disvelare la guerra civile, ci si chiede allora: che cos’è la guerra oggi? Si tratta di una guerra continua, a bassa intensità, caratterizzata dall’indistinzione tra fronte interno ed esterno. Una guerra contro le forme di vita eccedenti, nella emergenzialità costante della contemporaneità. In this paper we cite some emblematic (even if not exhaustive) examples of the use of the language of warfare employed since the dissemination of Covid-19 and asks what it produces. If the first goal is surely to ‘compact’ the addressed ones (a ‘people’?) attempting to annihilate the exercise of critical spirit, it is also and inseparably accompanied by the rhetoric of sacrifice. These two goals together act as accelerators of processes already underway: one reflects on how quickly ‘bourgeois’ rights have been given up, but also on something deeper (a main example is the celebration of funerals). This language then participates to the planetary injunction to mobilize, whether it is for ‘terrorism’, for an earthquake, or to manage the representation of ourselves in the job market and in life. It is wondered what the ‘people’ actually is and in order to do so, one emphasizes its difference with the population, and the overlap that the latter always risks with «the plague-ridden» (in Agamben and Foucault’s worlds). In the face of the hammering use of this language and crisis, capable of unveiling civil war, it is also wondered: what is war today? It is a continuous, low-intensity war characterized by the indistinction between internal and external fronts. A war against surplus forms of life, in the constant emergence of contemporaneity.

 Lectotype (designated here):— GEORGIA. Abkhazia, ad flumen Seken, in alveo fluminis, 900 m, 25 Aug. 1890, Sommier & Levier 562 (FI015030!; isolectotype, BR0000005419487!).
 Notes:— The protologue indicates the following syntypes: “in alveo fluminis Selten Abchasiae, 900 m, 25 Aug. fr. tantum” and “Ad ripam dextram fluminis Kliutsch, 1700-1800 m., 26 Aug., fr.”. We have found three gatherings that coincide in locality and collection date with the protologue (Levier & Sommier 562 with the former and Levier & Sommier 565 and 69 with the latter). From these, Levier & Sommier 562 is the only one with fruiting umbels (FI015030, BR0000005419487), the others only have fruits in envelopes (FI015032, FI015033). We have designated FI015030 as lectotype because it is the most complete and better preserved specimen; BR0000005419487 is a duplicate, being a photograph of the latter with an envelope with fruits.

description: The large number of automobile accidents due to driver drowsiness is a critical concern of many countries. To solve this problem, numerous methods of countermeasure have been proposed. However, the results were unsatisfactory due to inadequate accuracy of drowsiness detection. In this study, we introduce a new approach, a combination of EEG and NIRS, to detect driver drowsiness. EEG, EOG, ECG and NIRS signals have been measured during a simulated driving task, in which subjects underwent both awake and drowsy states. The blinking rate, eye closure, heart rate, alpha and beta band power were used to identify subject’s condition. Statistical tests were performed on EEG and NIRS signals to find the most informative parameters. Fisher’s linear discriminant analysis method was employed to classify awake and drowsy states. Time series analysis was used to predict drowsiness. The oxy-hemoglobin concentration change and the beta band power in the frontal lobe were found to differ the most between the two states. In addition, these two parameters correspond well to an awake to drowsy state transition. A sharp increase of the oxy-hemoglobin concentration change, together with a dramatic decrease of the beta band power, happened several seconds before the first eye closure.

description: Quantum communications promises reliable transmission of quantum information, efficient distribution of entanglement and generation of completely secure keys. For all these tasks, we need to determine the optimal point-to-point rates that are achievable by two remote parties at the ends of a quantum channel, without restrictions on their local operations and classical communication, which can be unlimited and two-way. These two-way assisted capacities represent the ultimate rates that are reachable without quantum repeaters. By constructing an upperbound based on the relative entropy of entanglement and devising a dimension-independent technique dubbed "teleportation stretching", we establish these capacities for many fundamental channels, namely bosonic lossy channels, quantum-limited amplifiers, dephasing and erasure channels in arbitrary dimension. In particular, we determine the fundamental rate-loss trade-off affecting any protocol of quantum key distribution. Our findings set the ultimate limits of point-to-point quantum communications and provide the most precise and general benchmarks for quantum repeaters.
