description: Liver cirrhosis is the irrecoverable disease of the liver, finally it causes necrosis of liver cells, as a result, change normal cells into an abnormal knot as well as structural abnormalities occur. It caused by many of reason, but here we discussed only by the hepatitis b virus and hepatitis b virus. The hazard of liver cirrhosis increased day by day. Recently liver cirrhosis prevalence of Pakistan was 13.5%. Sonography can easily diagnose the liver cirrhosis caused by hepatitis b and c virus. Objective: The object of this study to examine the analyses of ultra-sonographic diagnosis of liver cirrhosis in patients with chronic viral hepatitis B and C. Method: the cross-sectional study was conducted at Fatima ultrasound center. All age group patients with hepatitis B and C virus liver cirrhosis was included. Scanner GE Logic 5 and 7 Pro, DP-20 used for this study to examine the collaboration of liver cirrhosis. The liver cirrhosis associated hepatitis B virus and hepatitis C virus were analyzed on trans-abdominal by concave prob 2.5- 5MHz. Result: Total 376 patients determine to have hepatitis B and C virus cause liver cirrhosis were incorporate all age patients which a large portion of them was male the absolute level of liver cirrhosis was 46%. Conclusion: We observe that liver cirrhosis associated with hepatitis B and C virus more common in male than female. Rural areas are more effective by liver cirrhosis associated with hepatitis B and C virus.

description: Objective Central venous access devices (CVADs) are an integral component of modern paediatric healthcare; however, the insertion and use of these devices are associated with serious complications. CVAD management strategies, including their dressing and securement, have been developed to reduce CVAD-associated complications. Nurses are key managers in promoting paediatric CVAD function, through the consistent use of effective management strategies. The aims of this PhD study were to: (1) identify current clinical management for CVADs within Australian paediatric facilities; (2) evaluate the feasibility of launching a full-scale efficacy trial of tunnelled cuffed CVAD securement and dressing products within acute care paediatrics; and (3) provide baseline estimates of the effectiveness of four dressings and securement products on tunnelled cuffed CVAD complication and failure, within a pilot study. Design A two-phased study was undertaken: a point prevalence audit and cross-sectional survey of paediatric CVAD management practices; and a four-armed, pilot randomised controlled trial (RCT) of innovative tunnelled, cuffed CVAD dressing and securement products to prevent complication and failure within paediatric acute care.

description: Noisy matrix completion aims at estimating a low-rank matrix given only partial and corrupted entries. Despite substantial progress in designing efficient estimation algorithms, it remains largely unclear how to assess the uncertainty of the obtained estimates and how to perform statistical inference on the unknown matrix (e.g.~constructing a valid and short confidence interval for an unseen entry). This paper takes a step towards inference and uncertainty quantification for noisy matrix completion. We develop a simple procedure to compensate for the bias of the widely used convex and nonconvex estimators. The resulting de-biased estimators admit nearly precise non-asymptotic distributional characterizations, which in turn enable optimal construction of confidence intervals\,/\,regions for, say, the missing entries and the low-rank factors. Our inferential procedures do not rely on sample splitting, thus avoiding unnecessary loss of data efficiency. As a byproduct, we obtain a sharp characterization of the estimation accuracy of our de-biased estimators, which, to the best of our knowledge, are the first tractable algorithms that provably achieve full statistical efficiency (including the preconstant). The analysis herein is built upon the intimate link between convex and nonconvex optimization --- an appealing feature recently discovered by \cite{chen2019noisy}.

description: Pelvic binding devices are used in prehospital management of cases of severe physical trauma, such as falls and motor vehicle accidents. From briefly reviewing the published evidence of the procedure’s risks and effectiveness, we conclude that binding represents an inexpensive and easily applied emergency strategy that offers pelvic stability while only minimally raising the risk of bleeding and other undesirable outcomes.

Advancements in Ionospheric Modeling: Comparative Analysis of VTEC Derivation from Co-Located VLBI and VGOS Stations
Creators: name: Rüegg, Arno

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: Accurate ionospheric models are essential for precise processing of single-frequency receivers in the microwave regime, such as smartphone receivers for Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) data. Currently, the predominant models primarily originate from GNSS data, leveraging its continuous and extensive global data coverage. Yet, Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) offers an alternative approach to determine Vertical Total Electron Content (VTEC) , a fundamental metric that offers valuable insights into the ionosphere. Future prospects include the potential utilization of VLBI observations to enhance ionospheric models if the robustness and reliability of the derived values are sufficient. The recent operationalization of the VLBI Global Observing System (VGOS) has further enhanced the potential for VTEC derivation with its four frequency bands. 

We have developed an iterative least squares algorithm for deriving VTEC values above each station, applicable to both VLBI and VGOS sessions. Our study focuses on the analysis of operational 24-hour sessions, specifically targeting sessions post the CONT17 campaign We concentrate on co-located stations where both VLBI and VGOS sessions occur simultaneously, offering a unique opportunity for comparative analysis. The derived VTEC values from our algorithm are analyzed to assess their consistency and reliability. To further validate our findings, we utilize two independent GNSS-based datasets, namely Global Ionosphere Maps (GIM) and Madrigal TEC Maps (MTM). The comparisons show that VGOS and legacy VLBI results are similar compared to the GNSS based solutions.

Area superomedia about 1.3 times as long as wide. Ivory are the orbits beneath the flagellar scrobes, longitudinal stripe at malar space, apical spot of femora I and tibia I anterior. Otherwise as described for Lamprojoppa caerula CAMERON (TERESHKIN 2009: 1512-1513).
D i s t r i b u t i o n: Known from India and Myanmar, new records for Nepal and Vietnam.
 Taxonomical remark: The available specimens differ from Lamprojoppa caerula CAMERON by their black flagellum and slenderer first flagellomere. The black flagellum had also been noted for Lamprojoppa fuscinerva CAMERON by HEINRICH (1974: 10). However, the ivory pattern on the orbits is more extensive than in the type specimen (HEINRICH 1974: 10, the type could not been studied by me). According to HEINRICH (1974: 113) this group of large, blue-metallic coloured Platylabini contains several closely related species that have not been studied in detail yet. Therefore, it might be possible that these specimens belong to undescribed taxa of Lamprojoppa.

Fully Covariant Van Dam-Veltman-Zakharov Discontinuity, and Absence Thereof

description: In both old and recent literature, it has been argued that the celebrated van Dam-Veltman-Zakharov (vDVZ) discontinuity of massive gravity is an artifact due to linearization of the true equations of motion. In this letter, we investigate that claim. First, we exhibit an explicit -albeit somewhat arbitrary- fully covariant set of equations of motion that, upon linearization, reduce to the standard Pauli-Fierz equations. We show that the vDVZ discontinuity still persists in that non-linear, covariant theory. Then, we restrict our attention to a particular system that consistently incorporates massive gravity: the Dvali-Gabadadze-Porrati (DGP) model. DGP is fully covariant and does not share the arbitrariness and imperfections of our previous covariantization, and its linearization exhibits a vDVZ discontinuity. Nevertheless, we explicitly show that the discontinuity does disappear in the fully covariant theory, and we explain the reason for this phenomenon.

title: Three Essays on Multiple Lead Underwriters in IPOS

Subjects: subject: Initial public offerings
subject: Underwriters

description: The objective of this thesis is to investigate the role of multiple lead underwriter (MLU) syndicates in initial public offerings (IPOs). Despite the increasing tendency among US issuers to employ MLUs to manage their offerings, the role of MLUs has not been widely recognised in the IPO literature. Using a sample of US IPOs from 1999–2012, this thesis explores several roles of MLUs in three related yet distinct empirical essays. In the first empirical essay, we investigate the information production role of underwriters in an MLU syndicate. We find that, compared to SLU-backed IPOs, MLU-backed IPOs contain more informative content in their IPO prospectuses. The level of informative content, which is a proxy for pre-filing the due diligence efforts of lead underwriters, suggests that MLUs produce more information during the pre-filing period. Further, we find that MLUs use a more readable writing style in IPO prospectuses to effectively communicate pre-filing information to investors. We also find that MLUs produce less information during bookbuilding and provide less support for partial adjustment phenomena. Together, our results suggest that MLUs replace the costly process of bookbuilding information production with their extensive pre-filing information production.

description: The role of Village Health Workers (VHW) is to educate communities about tuberculosis (TB) and its causes, conduct TB screening, and directly observe the treatment of TB. The knowledge of TB among VHWs is crucial because it impacts not only their work at the community level but also the overall outcome of TB treatment. The study is aimed at assessing the training intervention on TB knowledge among Lesotho VHWs. This aim is achieved by comparing VHWs' TB knowledge before and after the training. The study used mixed methods design with a quantitative approach. Three study populations were interviewed, two at the household level and one at the clinic level. The third study population was made up of VHWs, serving in the selected clinics. Open Development Kit (ODK) was used to administer a structured questionnaire. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) was used for data analysis. Ethical approval was granted by the National Ethics and Review Board of the Ministry of Health (MOH). The mean scores of overall knowledge of TB in all the 9 measures used to assess VHWs' TB knowledge increased from 44.63% at baseline to 61.84% post-intervention. This result implies a positive impact of the intervention strategy, although adequate knowledge, indicated by an overall post-intervention score of 31.50 (75%) was not achieved. It was concluded that household members have inadequate knowledge about TB causes that is seen to be a direct cause from VHWs who lacked such knowledge.

description: The exact cause of functional dyspepsia is not known. This study was designed to investigate the association between duodenal infiltration of immune-mediating cells, namely eosinophils and mast cells with functional dyspepsia. Total of 69 patients presenting with symptoms of functional dyspepsia and matched healthy 42controls were included in this cross-sectional study. Tissue from duodenum was taken from both patients and controls, and the number of eosinophils and mast cells per five high power fields were counted. ‘t' test and chi square tests were done to find out the association of immune-mediating cells with functional dyspepsia. p value <0.05 was taken as significant. Duodenal eosinophil count ranges from 1-92 with mean 21.59 in cases and from 3-51 with mean 14.90 in controls. Eosinophil count was abnormally high among 29 (42.02%) and 08 (19.02%) among cases and controls, respectively, and the difference was significant (P=0.013).Mast cell density was seen among 56 cases and 23 controls from the same sample. Mast cell per 5 high power fields varied from 1-139 (mean 20.0536) and 3-57 (mean 20.86) were found in cases and controls groups, respectively (P=0.627).This study showed that functional dyspepsia is associated with a significant increase of eosinophils count in duodenum, but no significant association could be identified between of mast cell count in duodenum and functional dyspepsia.

description: The size of chemical compound space is too large to be probed exhaustively. This leads high-throughput protocols to drastically subsample and results in sparse and non-uniform datasets. Rather than arbitrarily selecting compounds, we systematically explore chemical space according to the target property of interest. We first perform importance sampling by introducing a Markov chain Monte Carlo scheme across compounds. We then train an ML model on the sampled data to expand the region of chemical space probed. Our boosting procedure enhances the number of compounds by a factor 2 to 10, enabled by the ML model's coarse-grained representation, which both simplifies the structure-property relationship and reduces the size of chemical space. The ML model correctly recovers linear relationships between transfer free energies. These linear relationships correspond to features that are global to the dataset, marking the region of chemical space up to which predictions are reliable---a more robust alternative to the predictive variance. Bridging coarse-grained simulations with ML gives rise to an unprecedented database of drug-membrane insertion free energies for 1.3 million compounds.

description: There has been much discussion recently regarding entanglement transformations in terms of local filtering operations and whether the optimal entanglement for an arbitrary two-qubit state could be realised. We introduce an experimentally realisable scheme for manipulating the entanglement of an arbitrary state of two polarisation entangled qubits. This scheme is then used to provide some perspective to the mathematical concepts inherent in this field with respect to a laboratory environment. Specifically, we look at how to extract enhanced entanglement from systems with a fixed rank and in the case where the rank of the density operator for the state can be reduced, show how the state can be made arbitrarily close to a maximally entangled pure state. In this context we also discuss bounds on entanglement in mixed states.

description: We present a density functional theory (DFT) for lattice models with local electron-electron (e-e) and electron-phonon (e-ph) interactions. Exchange-correlation potentials are derived via dynamical mean field theory for the infinite-dimensional Bethe lattice, and analytically for an isolated Hubbard-Holstein site. These potentials exhibit discontinuities as a function of the density, which depend on the relative strength of the e-e and e-ph interactions. By comparing to exact benchmarks, we show that the DFT formalism gives a good description of the linear conductance and real-time dynamics.

description: In recent years the computational capacity of single Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) devices as well as their versatility has increased significantly. Adding to that the High Level Synthesis frameworks allowing to program such processors in a high level language like C++, makes modern FPGA devices a serious candidate as building blocks of a general purpose High Performance Computing solution. In this contribution we describe benchmarks which we performed using a Lattice QCD code, a highly compute-demanding HPC academic code for elementary particle simulations. We benchmark the performance of a single FPGA device running in two modes: using the external or embedded memory. We discuss both approaches in detail using the Xilinx U250 device and provide estimates for the necessary memory throughput and the minimal amount of resources needed to deliver optimal performance depending on the available hardware platform.

 Cryptus polytropus HEINRICH, 1951 – Holotypus (♀) untersucht (Gainesville).
 C. moschator (FABRICIUS) ist eine Art mit schwarzem Gaster und stark nach vorne verschmälerter Areola, die C. viduatorius FABRICIUS, C. spiralis (GEOFFROY) und deren Verwandten ähnelt. Die hier behandelte Art hat aber im weiblichen Geschlecht dickere Fühler und in beiden Geschlechtern fehlt die vordere Querleiste am Propodeum oder ist nur teilweise vorhanden, aber die hintere Querleiste ist im Gegensatz dazu kräftig und vollständig. Zusätzlich sind die Stigmen am Propodeum relativ kurz und gleichmässig länglich-oval, während bei C. viduatorius FABRICIUS und C. spiralis (GEOFFROY) diese dorsal und ventral meist unterschiedlich breit sind. Das Männchen hat im Gegensatz zu C. viduatorius FABRICIUS und C. spiralis (GEOFFROY) apikal gerundete Clasper. Dorsal sind die Clasper nicht erweitert. Zusätzliche Merkmale des Männchens sind die teilweise ausgebildeten Dorsolateralleisten am Propodeum und die geringe Ausdehnung der weissen Zeichnung am Kopf. Es sind nur schmale Orbitae teilweise weiss.
1♀ aus Tunesien (coll. Schwarz) weicht in einigen Merkmalen von typischen Exemplaren ab. So besitzen die Fühler 42 Glieder, die Femora III sind apikal breit schwarz, die Punkte an der Bohrerspitze sind deutlich grösser und geringe Unterschiede bei den Zähnchen sind vorhanden. Der Legebohrer ist deutlich aufwärts gebogen, was eventuell auch ein Artefakt sein kann. Möglicherweise gehört das Tier zu einer eigenen Art.

description: We introduce the thermal-difference states (TDS), a three-parameter family of single-mode non-Gaussian bosonic states whose density operator is a weighted difference of two thermal states. We show that the states of "heralded photons" generated via parametric down-conversion (PDC) are precisely those among the TDS that are nonclassical, meaning they have a negative $P$-function. The three parameters correspond in that context to the initial brightness of PDC and the transmittances, characterizing the linear loss in the signal and the idler channels. At low initial brightness and unit transmittances, the heralded photon state is known to be a single-photon state. We explore the influence of brightness and linear loss on the heralded state of the signal mode. In particular, we analyze the influence of the initial brightness and the loss on the state nonclassicality by computing several measures of nonclassicality, such as the negative volume of the Wigner function, the sum of quantum Fisher information for two quadratures, and the ordering sensitivity, introduced recently by us [Phys. Rev. Lett. 122, 080402 (2019)]. We argue finally that the TDS provide new benchmark states for the analysis of a variety of properties of single-mode bosonic states.

description: This work deals with the issue of assessing the influence of a node in the entire network and in the subnetwork to which it belongs as well, adapting the classical idea of vertex centrality. We provide a general definition of relative vertex centrality measure with respect to the classical one, referred to the whole network. Specifically, we give a decomposition of the relative centrality measure by including also the relative influence of the single node with respect to a given subgraph containing it. The proposed measure of relative centrality is tested in the empirical networks generated by collecting assets of the $S\&P$ 100, focusing on two specific centrality indices: betweenness and eigenvector centrality. The analysis is performed in a time perspective, capturing the assets influence, with respect to the characteristics of the analysed measures, in both the entire network and the specific sectors to which the assets belong.

description: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic autoimmune disease characterized by joint inflammation and joint pain. Much of RA treatment is focused on suppressing inflammation, with the idea being that if inflammation is controlled other symptoms, such as pain, will disappear. However, pain is the most common complaint of RA patients, is often still present following the resolution of inflammation, and can develop prior to the onset of inflammation. Thus, further research is needed to better understand RA-associated pain mechanisms. A number of preclinical rodent models commonly used in rheumatology research have been developed based on bedside-to-bench and reverse translational approaches. These models include collagen-induced arthritis, antigen-induced arthritis, streptococcal cell wall-induced arthritis, collagen antibody-induced arthritis, serum transfer from K/BxN transgenic mice and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-transgene mice. They have led to increased understanding of RA pathogenesis and have aided the development of successful RA treatments. More recently, these models have been used to elucidate the complexities of RA associated pain. Several potentially modifiable mechanisms, other than inflammation, have been investigated in these models and may in turn lead to more effective treatments. Furthermore, preclinical research can indicate when specific treatment strategies may benefit specific patient subgroups or at which disease stage they are best used. This review not only highlights RA-associated pain mechanisms, but also suggests the usefulness of preclinical animal research based on a bedside-to-bench approach.

Electronic band structure and pinning of Fermi energy to van Hove singularities in twisted bilayer graphene: a self consistent approach

description: The emergence of flat bands in twisted bilayer graphene leads to an enhancement of interaction effects, and thus to insulating and superconducting phases at low temperatures, even though the exact mechanism is still widely debated. The position and splitting of the flat bands is also very sensitive to the residual interactions. Moreover, the low energy bands of twisted graphene bilayers show a rich structure of singularities in the density of states, van Hove singularities, which can enhance further the role of interactions. We study the effect of the long-range interactions on the band structure and the van Hove singularities of the low energy bands of twisted graphene bilayers. Reasonable values of the long-range electrostatic interaction lead to a band dispersion with a significant dependence on the filling. The change of the shape and position of the bands with electronic filling implies that the van Hove singularities remain close to the Fermi energy for a broad range of fillings. This result can be described as an effective pinning of the Fermi energy at the singularity. The sensitivity of the band structure to screening by the environment may open new ways of manipulating the system.

description: Nematic order in the iron-based superconductors is closely tied to a lattice distortion and a structural transition from tetragonal to orthorhombic symmetry. External stress of the appropriate symmetry acts as a conjugate field of the nematic order parameter and can be utilized to detwin nematic domains but also smears an otherwise sharp nematic transition. On the other hand, applying stress in proper symmetry channels allows one to tune the nematic phase transition. Recent experiments analyzed the stress-induced changes of the nematic and magnetic phase transition temperature. Here we show that the observed trends can be understood in terms of spin-induced nematicity. The strain sensitivity is shown to be a fluctuation effect. The strong sensitivity to antisymmetric strain is a consequence of the anisotropic nature of the magnetic excitation spectrum. The formalism presented here can be naturally generalized to determine the strain-sensitivity of vestigial phases related to other magnetic states that have been observed in the iron-based systems, such as e.g.\ the spin-charge density wave and the spin-vortex crystals.

description: A large amount of research has been dedicated to the relationship between the TV broadcasters and the audiences around the world. Moreover, TV broadcasters are usually keen to build a wider and deeper understanding of their audiences’ needs and tendencies. Meanwhile, the audiences have their own expectations and views towards the broadcast material. Accordingly, many theories and models have been designed to study the relationship between TV broadcasters and their audiences, and the mutual influences between the two. This study has used qualitative research methods to assess the performance of Arab satellite TV channels within three dimensions to answer a central question about the relationships between the Arab satellite TV broadcasters and their audiences. Firstly, commercial TV which plays an important role in the overall media market as a source of information and fun for the masses. Their importance and popularity rely on the fact that they are not owned by governments, but are mostly independent, and they try to adjust their broadcasts to prevalent needs and tendencies among audiences for the purpose of achieving the highest business benefits. Therefore, the study deals with an emphasis on the Lebanese LBC channel. The study found that LBC has been surviving as a media business on the idea and intention of maintaining the widest audience base possible with a strong flow of program sponsorship, regardless of what is permitted or not by the local Arab culture. Accordingly, the channel has differentiated itself from other Arab TV channels, and given itself the unique role of satisfying the sexual and entertainment needs of the wider audience, as the studied factor of human needs has been shown to be the most influential among the other study factors.

description: Phase separation has recently emerged as an important organizational principle in the dense and heterogeneous environment within living cells. Here, we use a synthetic system to show that compressive stresses in a polymer network suppress phase separation of the solvent that swells it. These stresses create a barrier to droplet nucleation that leads to robust, stabilized mixtures well beyond the liquid-liquid phase separation boundary. Network stresses not only alter the stability of mixtures, but they also have a dramatic effect on the ripening of droplets. Gradients in network stresses can drive a new form of ripening, where solute is transported down stiffness gradients. This elastic ripening can be much faster than conventional surface tension driven Ostwald ripening.
