description: In the wake of successful experiments in Fermi condensates, experimental attention is broadening to study resonant interactions in degenerate Bose-Fermi mixtures. Here we consider the properties and stability of the fermionic molecules that can be created in such a mixture near a Feshbach resonance (FR). To do this, we consider the two-body scattering matrix in the many-body environment, and assess its complex poles. The stability properties of these molecules strongly depend on their centre-of-mass motion, because they must satisfy Fermi statistics. At low centre-of-mass momenta the molecules are more stable than in the absence of the environment (due to Pauli-blocking effects), while at high centre-of-mass momenta nontrivial many body effects render them somewhat less stable.

description: The integration of genomics and bioinformatics into public health requires a skilled workforce capable of delivering with speed, quality, scale, adaptability, and resilience. While Africa has made progress in expanding this workforce, several challenges threaten workforce retention and long-term sustainability. Drawing from our experiences and observations across the continent, we identify key gaps and opportunities that are essential for sustaining the public health genomics and bioinformatics workforce in Africa (Fig. 1 – summary and Table 1 – detailed information). These barriers to sustainability include challenges in education and training, communication and advocacy, infrastructure and supply chain, technical capacity, motivation, financial support, policy and legislation, ethics, and surveillance, research, and development. These challenges need to be addressed at various levels by individuals, work institutes, governments (including ethics committees, regulatory agencies, and legal departments), public and private partners, and funding agencies. This data is discussed in our article in Nature Medicine journal.

description: With an aging population, cancer is becoming increasingly prevalent in society. Statistics now suggest that half of all people will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. In recent years there has been major progress in immuno-oncology, particularly in T-cell based therapies. The main advancement in this field has been the development of Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T-cell therapies, which use genetically reprogrammed T-cells’ natural cytotoxic pathways to induce apoptosis in target cells.There has been a large amount of work focussed on identifying T-cell population characteristics which can aid in the manufacture and efficacy of the therapy. In particular, the balance of subpopulations which allow improved viral transduction in culture, and improved efficacy and persistence on administering the therapy. However, there was limited evidence of work investigating the impact of the T-cell culture process and the balance of these subpopulations. This research sought to improve the definition of T-cell culture to improve confidence in predicting the output material as well as identifying conditions which may promote preferred populations.Input material, delaying IL-2 supplementation, and concentrated incubation prior to standard culture was analysed for their impact on T-cell culture. Viable cell count and flow cytometry were used identify the impact of these elements on culture growth and phenotypic profile. In addition, a novel phenotypic analytical method was developed in response to limitations with the common method observed in the field. The novel method utilised algorithmic analysis of phenotypic data to reduce user bias, whilst introducing optimal phenotypic resolution of analysis.Analysis of input material and CD4/CD8 cell balance appeared to show that there were limited differences in behaviour of the subpopulations, with primary negative responses seen in cultures that had undergone a greater level of manipulation. Delaying the supplementation of IL-2 into culture appeared to have a positive effect compared to immediate supplementation, however the evidence suggested that this was potentially no better than cultures not supplemented with additional IL-2. Investigation of concentrated incubation prior to seeding into culture had variable responses using different donors. This work proved inconclusive and requires further investigation, however the evidence suggested that the process may induce greater growth in cultures and increased maturation of subpopulations. It was also possible to observe across the breadth of the experimentation that an increase in proliferation of T-cell cultures correlated with an increased phenotypic shift to Effector Memory phenotype populations.

On-body near field confining spherical helical antennas

description: This research attempts to address the need for a small and inconspicuous antenna as part of a Wireless Body Area Network for continuous health monitoring. A balanced antenna, which avoids the need for a ground plane, worn as a pendant or clipped to a pocket or belt, was considered a convenient solution. Optimising the design using a genetic algorithm indicated that efficient air-cored examples would need to be about the size of a tennis ball. To reduce the size, the air core needed to be replaced with a high permittivity material. This would require a shell-like structure to support the wire antenna elements and contain the dielectric material in granular form, rather than the cellular foam used in early examples. By then, 3D printing had become commonplace and inexpensive. Printing a shell with grooves to retain the wire elements and space inside for the granular dielectric was helpful, but 3D printing also enabled further improvements. Firstly, the antenna could easily be made ellipsoidal, holding considerably more dielectric material than a sphere with the same radius. Secondly, a further layer of dielectric material could be retained outside the antenna elements. This kept the antenna away from the body, so the radius of the reactive near field of the antenna was never encroached upon and de-tuning did not occur. However, the original proprietary granular materials did not pack well into these intricate antenna structures and trapped considerable amounts of air. Therefore, a process of pressure agglomeration was used to turn mixtures of two fine powders, one with low permittivity, the other with high permittivity, into dielectrics of any value permittivity in between. When compressed, the mixture is solid and completely fills the space it is forced into. This technique, along with the calculating formulae and the measurement and packing techniques used were published as an IET journal Paper. A revised genetic algorithm was used to select the best combination of the above additional features for the final antenna design. Having successfully reduced the size of the antenna, then the balun also needed to be reduced in size. The final tests on the antenna were performed in an anechoic chamber, and proved satisfactory. The “free space” characteristics were obtained in the usual way. The “on-body” characteristics were obtained with the antenna in contact with a phantom representing a wearer’s chest. The phantom had been developed using the above dielectric powders in a 3D printed frame and had passed basic tests to show that its performance was close to that of a live human upper chest.
Pruned hierarchical local model networks for nonlinear system identification: neuro-fuzzy local model network-based nonlinear system identification using maximum likelihood partitioned hierarchical model trees and backward elimination pruning for structure optimisation

description: Mathematical models form the basis of application in a multitude of processes and disciplines. With there being a recent and general trend of increased system complexity through added dimensionality and new innovations in technology, conventional characterisation methods fall short in many key areas. Consequently, it is necessary to address these shortcomings through the development of modelling methods which allow for the characterisation and investigations of the features of these systems. Local Model Networks (LMNs), a subset of the Neuro-Fuzzy modelling method, have become increasingly popular as a solution to this problem of Nonlinear System Identification. This thesis introduces a novel procedure for the identification of such systems, which returns a Pruned Hierarchical Network. Herein referred to as PRUHINET, the algorithm operates using hierarchical tree construction and returns a structure which is constituted of neurons containing local models each with an associated region of activation. The operational input space of the system is partitioned using an axis-oblique strategy, however unlike previous deployments, the employed partition method is predicated upon Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE). Analytical gradients are used to speed up the required nonlinear optimisation process. PRUHINET proposes various LMNs of varying complexity levels and utilises Information Theoretic Criterion (ITC) for the determination of the optimal network structure. This is addressed through the termination of the model build and the removal of redundant neurons via a Backward Elimination Pruning (BEP) approach. Multi-Model Inference (MMI) is used across the candidate LMNs to further mitigate model selection uncertainty and provide final response prediction. PRUHINET also allows for the consideration of systematic correlations within the supplied dataset by whitening the model errors through an iterated Feasible Generalised Least Squares (FGLS) approach external to the LMN build. The utility of the approach is shown through the identification of various dataset examples consisting of static and dynamic elements. The static simulation results illustrate the functionality of PRUHINET as an evolution of traditional approaches, providing superior performance and also being able to return results representative of classical methods under certain configurational assumptions. Validation results for the dynamic dataset showed the approach was able to identify the given system to an accuracy greater than 95% in all cases. Finally, the PRUHINET approach was shown to allow scrutinisation of the identified local models, which is of benefit in application.

Subjects: subject: Optimization and Control (math.OC)

subject: 60G10

description: We present several natural notions of distance between spectral density functions of (discrete-time) random processes. They are motivated by certain filtering problems. First we quantify the degradation of performance of a predictor which is designed for a particular spectral density function and then it is used to predict the values of a random process having a different spectral density. The logarithm of the ratio between the variance of the error, over the corresponding minimal (optimal) variance, produces a measure of distance between the two power spectra with several desirable properties. Analogous quantities based on smoothing problems produce alternative distances and suggest a class of measures based on fractions of generalized means of ratios of power spectral densities. These distance measures endow the manifold of spectral density functions with a (pseudo) Riemannian metric. We pursue one of the possible options for a distance measure, characterize the relevant geodesics, and compute corresponding distances.

Newly recorded on Prince Edward Island, this species favours shallow standing water or margins of slow-flowing creeks with vegetation. It is also frequently found in semi-aquatic habitats (Smetana 1988). The zoogeographic status of this species is unclear. Smetana (1988) regarded it as an apparently Palaearctic species introduced to North America. He also drew attention to the fact that it appeared that two species, A. lutescens (Stephens 1829) and A. limbata , were being confused under the name of A. limbata in North America. Albrecht Komarek (pers. comm.), who is revising the genus worldwide, points out that while A. limbata and A. lutescens are readily separable in Europe, North American specimens cannot unambiguously be assigned to either species. He believes that North American specimens may represent a separate, undescribed “cryptic” species in the lutescens complex. Morphological examinations cannot resolve the problem and it may require molecular phylogenetic analysis in order to discern the nature of this “species.” Thus, in the present treatment, I provisionally treat it as a Nearctic species in the lutescens complex whose status has yet to be fully discerned.

description: In the development of multiscale biological models it is crucial to establish a connection between discrete microscopic or mesoscopic stochastic models and macroscopic continuous descriptions based on cellular density. In this paper a continuous limit of a two-dimensional Cellular Potts Model (CPM) with excluded volume is derived, describing cells moving in a medium and reacting to each other through both direct contact and long range chemotaxis. The continuous macroscopic model is obtained as a Fokker-Planck equation describing evolution of the cell probability density function. All coefficients of the general macroscopic model are derived from parameters of the CPM and a very good agreement is demonstrated between CPM Monte Carlo simulations and numerical solution of the macroscopic model. It is also shown that in the absence of contact cell-cell interactions, the obtained model reduces to the classical macroscopic Keller-Segel model. General multiscale approach is demonstrated by simulating spongy bone formation from loosely packed mesenchyme via the intramembranous route suggesting that self-organizing physical mechanisms can account for this developmental process.

description: Strategic planning enables firms to determine their long-term direction. Research indicates a positive correlation between strategic planning and improved performance. Yet, small firms within the construction industry are slow to adopt strategic planning in their organisations. To understand why small firms do not use strategic planning; 20 semi-structured interviews are conducted with owners and senior managers from eight principal contractors; eight subcontractors and four consultancies to gain insight. Interviews are transcribed; coded using NVivo; and themes developed using thematic analysis. The results indicate time constraints; expertise/exposure; focusing on operational matters; the owners' motivations for being in business and industry structure as inhibitors to adopting strategic planning in small firms. The negative consequences of not planning strategically in the construction industry have been reported. This paper contributes to strategy and construction management research by discerning the reasons why small firms do not plan strategically. The findings require an integrated approach at governmental level; industry level and behavioural changes within small firms to improve strategic planning.

In particular, ESD is shown to occur in such systems initially prepared in a one-parameter class of entangled mixed states and then subjected to local dephasing noise. Together with previous results, this proves the existence of ESD for some states in all quantum systems for which rigorously defined mixed-state entanglement measures have been identified. We conjecture that ESD exists in all quantum systems prepared in appropriate bipartite states.

description: This article presents an innovative proposal for the symbolic measurement of subjective time, grounded in the concepts of Chronons, Hectachronos, and Hexachronons, developed within the XChronos project. A Chronon is defined as the smallest unit of dense experiential time; a Hectachronos as the symbolic accumulation of 100 Chronons within a single interval; and a Hexachronon as the synchronistic resonance between Chronons linked by meaning, even when separated in chronological time. The article introduces a symbolic equation, phenomenological criteria, and a conceptual tool called the Chronon Meter, offering a new paradigm for understanding human temporal experience.
Angular momentum and mass evolution of contact binaries

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Various scenarios of contact binary evolution have been proposed in the past, giving hints of (sometimes contradictory) evolutionary sequence connecting A-type and W-type systems. As the components of close detached binaries approach each other and contact binaries are formed, following evolutionary paths transform them into systems of two categories: A-type and W-type. The systems evolve in a similar way but under slightly different circumstances. The mass/energy transfer rate is different, leading to quite different evolutionary results. An alternative scenario of evolution in contact is presented and discussed, based on the observational data of over a hundred low-temperature contact binaries. It results from the observed correlations among contact binary physical and orbital parameters. Theoretical tracks are computed assuming angular momentum loss from a system via stellar wind, accompanied by mass transfer from an advanced evolutionary secondary to the main sequence primary. Good agreement is seen between the tracks and the observed graphs. Independently of details of the evolution in contact and a relation between A-type and W-type systems, the ultimate fate of contact binaries involves the coalescence of both components into a single fast rotating star.

description: Animals are essential genetic tools in scientific research and global resources in agriculture. In both arenas, a single sex is often required in surplus. The ethical and financial burden of producing and culling animals of the undesired sex is considerable. Using the mouse as a model, we develop a synthetic lethal, bicomponent CRISPR-Cas9 strategy that produces male- or female-only litters with one hundred percent efficiency. Strikingly, we observe a degree of litter size compensation relative to control matings, indicating that our system has the potential to increase the yield of the desired sex in comparison to standard breeding designs. The bicomponent system can also be repurposed to generate postnatal sex-specific phenotypes. Our approach, harnessing the technological applications of CRISPR-Cas9, may be applicable to other vertebrate species, and provides strides towards ethical improvements for laboratory research and agriculture.

description: RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) act as posttranscriptional regulators controlling the fate of target mRNAs. Unraveling how RNAs are recognized by RBPs and in turn are assembled into neuronal RNA granules is therefore key to understanding the underlying mechanism. While RNA sequence elements have been extensively characterized, the functional impact of RNA secondary structures is only recently being explored. Here, we show that Staufen2 binds complex, long-ranged RNA hairpins in the 3′-untranslated region (UTR) of its targets. These structures are involved in the assembly of Staufen2 into RNA granules. Furthermore, we provide direct evidence that a defined Rgs4 RNA duplex regulates Staufen2-dependent RNA localization to distal dendrites. Importantly, disrupting the RNA hairpin impairs the observed effects. Finally, we show that these secondary structures differently affect protein expression in neurons. In conclusion, our data reveal the importance of RNA secondary structure in regulating RNA granule assembly, localization and eventually translation. It is therefore tempting to speculate that secondary structures represent an important code for cells to control the intracellular fate of their mRNAs.

Evapotranspiration and surface conductance for a high elevation, grass covered forest clearcut
Creators: name: Adams, Ralph S.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Evapotranspiration from a forest clearcut was measured over two growing seasons as part of a larger study of the microclimate of forest clearcuts and microclimate modification by site preparation. Pinegrass is the dominant species on clearcuts in the dry southern interior and is the major competitor with coniferous seedlings. This paper examines the water use of a pinegrass dominated clearcut and the response of surface conductance to environmental variables. Evapotranspiration was derived from eddy correlation measurements of sensible heat flux and measurements of net radiation and soil heat flux. 419 hours of daytime energy balance data from the summers of 1987 and 1988 were analyzed. A rearranged form of the Penman-Monteith equation was used to calculate hourly mean surface conductances for the clearcut. Leaf area measurements were used to calculate stomatal conductance from surface conductances. Stomatal conductance was modelled using boundary-line and non-linear optimization techniques. The most successful model (R² = 0.71) was obtained using non-linear optimization with stomatal conductance as a non-linear function of saturation deficit at the leaf surface (D₀) and solar irradiance. D₀ was calculated from measured evapotranspiration and surface conductance. Response of stomata to saturation deficit would be expected to be better correlated to D₀ than D measured at a reference height above the canopy. Stomatal conductance was also modelled as a function of D (measured at 1.3 m) and solar irradiance. The resulting model (R² = 0.50) was poor compared to that based on D₀. Saturation deficit and temperature were found to be highly correlated both at 1.3 m above the canopy and at the leaf surface. Use of air temperature in the conductance model caused R² to decrease. No relationship between stomatal conductance and volumetric soil water content was found. Hourly evapotranspiration rates calculated using modelled surface conductances agreed well with measured rates.(R² = 0.89). Evapotranspiration was also modelled using the Priestley-Taylor approach. The mean hourly a for all daylight data was found to be 0.81. This simple model was found to give comparable results to the stomatal conductance based model (R² = 0.85).

description: Machine learning has progressed significantly in various applications ranging from face recognition to text generation. However, its success has been accompanied by different attacks. Recently a new attack has been proposed which raises both accountability and parasitic computing risks, namely the model hijacking attack. Nevertheless, this attack has only focused on image classification tasks. In this work, we broaden the scope of this attack to include text generation and classification models, hence showing its broader applicability. More concretely, we propose a new model hijacking attack, Ditto, that can hijack different text classification tasks into multiple generation ones, e.g., language translation, text summarization, and language modeling. We use a range of text benchmark datasets such as SST-2, TweetEval, AGnews, QNLI, and IMDB to evaluate the performance of our attacks. Our results show that by using Ditto, an adversary can successfully hijack text generation models without jeopardizing their utility.

description: Self-consistency of interaction models QGSJET 01, SIBYLL 2.1, NEXUS 3.97 and QGSJET II is checked in terms of their ability to reproduce simultaneously experimental data on fluxes of muons and hadrons. From this point of view SIBYLL 2.1 gives the most acceptable, though not quite satisfactory, results. Analysis of the situation for muons supports our previous conclusions, that high-energy muon deficit is due both to underestimation of primary light nuclei fluxes in direct emulsion chamber experiments and to softness of $p+A\toπ^\pm,K^\pm+X$ inclusive spectra in fragmentation region, especially prominent in case of QGSJET 01 model.

description: The branching ratio of $B^-\to h_c+K^-$ is re-evaluated in the PQCD approach. In this theoretical framework all the phenomenological parameters in the wavefunctions and Sudakov factor are priori fixed by fitting other experimental data, and in the whole numerical computations we do not introduce any new parameter. Our results are consistent with the upper bounds set by the Babar and Belle measurements.

description: We describe a direct observation of the excitonic giant Zeeman splitting in (Ga,Mn)N, a wide-gap III-V diluted magnetic semiconductor. Reflectivity and absorption spectra measured at low temperatures display the A and B excitons, with a shift under magnetic field due to s,p-d exchange interactions. Using an excitonic model, we determine the difference of exchange integrals between Mn^3+ and free carriers in GaN, N_0(alpha-beta)=-1.2 +/- 0.2 eV. Assuming a reasonable value of alpha, this implies a positive sign of beta which corresponds to a rarely observed ferromagnetic interaction between the magnetic ions and the holes.
