description: In machine learning, fewer features reduce model complexity. Carefully assessing the influence of each input feature on the model quality is therefore a crucial preprocessing step. We propose a novel feature selection algorithm based on a quadratic unconstrained binary optimization (QUBO) problem, which allows to select a specified number of features based on their importance and redundancy. In contrast to iterative or greedy methods, our direct approach yields higherquality solutions. QUBO problems are particularly interesting because they can be solved on quantum hardware. To evaluate our proposed algorithm, we conduct a series of numerical experiments using a classical computer, a quantum gate computer and a quantum annealer. Our evaluation compares our method to a range of standard methods on various benchmark datasets. We observe competitive performance.

description: We study the genuine multipartite entanglement in tripartite quantum systems. By using the Schmidt decomposition and local unitary transformation, we convert the general states to simpler forms and consider certain matrices from correlation tensors in the Bloch representation of the simplified density matrices. Using these special matrices, we obtain new criteria for genuine multipartite entanglement. Detail examples show that our criteria are able to detect more tripartite entangled and genuine tripartite entangled states than some existing criteria.

description: Given an exact symplectic map $T$ of a cylinder with a generating function $H$ satisfying the so-called negative twist condition, $H_{12}>0$, we study the locally maximizing orbits of $T$, that is, configurations which are local maxima of the action functional $\sum_n H(q_n,q_{n+1})$. We provide a necessary and sufficient condition for a configuration to be locally maximizing. Using it, we consider a situation where $T$ has two generating functions with respect to two different sets of symplectic coordinates. We suggest a simple geometric condition which guarantees that the set of locally maximizing orbits with respect to both of these generating functions coincide. As the main application we show that the two generating functions for planar Birkhoff billiards satisfy this geometric condition. We apply it to get the following result: consider a centrally symmetric curve $γ$, for which the Birkhoff billiard map has a rotational invariant curve $α$ of $4$-periodic orbits. We prove that a certain $L^2$-distance between $γ$ and its "best approximating" ellipse can be bounded from above in terms of the measure of the complement of the set filled by locally maximizing orbits lying between $α$ and the boundary of the phase cylinder. Moreover, this estimate is sharp, giving an effective version of a recent result on Birkhoff conjecture for centrally symmetric curves. We also get a similar bound for arbitrary curves $γ$, that relates the measure of the complement of the set of locally maximizing orbits with the $L^2$-distance between $γ$ and its "best approximating" circle.

description: Recent studies have shown enhanced responsiveness to ozone in obese mice. Adiposity has not been examined as a possible modulator of ozone response in humans. We therefore examined the relationship between body mass index and the acute spirometric response to ozone (O3) exposure among 197 non-asthmatic young adults (aged 18-35) studied in our human exposure facility from 1992-1998. Each subject had been exposed to 0.42 ppm O3 for 1.5 h with intermittent exercise designed to produce a minute ventilation of 20 l/min / m2 body surface area (BSA). Spirometry (pulmonary function) was measured pre- and immediately post- exposure to determine acute ozone-induced changes. The decrement in forced expiratory volume in 1s (Δ FEV1) in % of baseline was significantly correlated with BMI, r = −0.16, p = 0.03 with a slightly stronger correlation in women (n=75), r = −0.22, p = 0.05, and no significant correlation in men. BMI had a greater range in women than in men in our study. In women greater ozone-induced decrements were seen in overweight (BMI > 25 kg/m2) than in normal weight (BMI 18.5 to 25 kg/m2), and in normal weight than in underweight (BMI < 18.5 kg/m2) for all spirometric variables considered (P trend ≤ 0.022). Although our population studied was predominantly normal weight, we found that higher body mass index may be a modest risk factor for adverse pulmonary effects associated with ozone exposure, especially for women.

description: This paper studies a semiparametric single-index predictive regression model with multiple nonstationary predictors that exhibit co-movement behaviour. Orthogonal series expansion is employed to approximate the unknown link function in the model and the estimator is derived from an optimization under constraint. The main finding includes two types of super-consistency rates for the estimators of the index parameter. The central limit theorem is established for a plug-in estimator of the unknown link function. In the empirical studies, we provide ample evidence in favor of nonlinear predictability of the stock return using four pairs of nonstationary predictors.
A new cold war at sea: Fishing rights vs. the proliferation of military activities in the EEZ

description: As one of the oldest branches of international law, the law of the sea has a long history of reconciling the different uses of the oceans. Since ancient times, two of those uses have been fishing and military activities. While the freedom to fish is explicitly mentioned in the Law of the Sea Convention (LOSC), any mention of military rights was blocked by the maritime powers. These ambiguous formulations mean that the relationship between the right to fish on the one hand and the right to perform military activities on the other, is still subject to debate, especially in the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). Since the start of the war in Ukraine and the increase of China's threats to Taiwan, the international arena has seen a proliferation of military activities and exercises at sea. More and more, this has led to protests and angry responses from fishermen who see these activities as interfering with their legitimate right to fish at sea. The clash of rights comes down to the ambiguous regime of the EEZ and has led to different response among States, from simply ignoring complaints to adopting guidelines for activities at sea. In the end, the reciprocal duty of due regard for each other's rights, duties and interests will prove vital to determine the outcome of this debate, leading to the most important question of all: What does this "due regard" concept entail?
title: Decoding regional dynamics: a comprehensive examination of the creative industries and productive entrepreneurship within the Euro-Asian region
Creators: name: Khlystova, Olena
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2028

description: The creative industries have been widely acknowledged as an important conduit for economic growth and regional development with a profound impact on the social and cultural aspects of society. Policymakers and scholars in the business and management fields have also recognised the creative industries as a strategic sector which can help regions and economies achieve sustainable growth by using their unique characteristics, such as flexibility, entrepreneurial orientation, creativity, and extensive range of technologies and talents. However, the COVID-19 pandemic led the creative industries to face dramatic challenges related to changes in business models, organisational behaviour, interactions with customers and stakeholders, and the way products and services are created and delivered. Such changes provide a good setting to investigate the creative industries in terms of their resilience to external shocks and how this sector can contribute to the socio-economic and entrepreneurship development of the Euro-Asian region. This thesis consists of three interconnected publications which explore the ‘creative industries’ concept through the lens of regional and organisational resilience with a specific focus on productive entrepreneurship as a desirable outcome of any entrepreneurial activity. This thesis also takes the perspective of the Euro-Asian region, investigating its institutional settings and context for entrepreneurship, resilience, and the creative industries dynamics. It provides policy and managerial implications as well as research directions to be considered by future scholars.

description: The $W$-boson mass ($m_{W}=80.4335 \pm 0.0094 \mathrm{GeV}$) measured by the Collider Detector at Fermilab collaboration is greater than the standard model (SM) prediction at a confidence level of $7σ$, strongly suggesting the presence of new particles or fields. In the literature, various new particles and/or fields have been introduced to explain the astrophysical and experimental data, and their presence, in principle, may also enhance the $W$-boson mass. In this study, we investigate axion-like particle (ALP), dark photon (DP), and chameleon dark energy (DE) models for a solution to the $W$-boson mass excess. We find that the ALP and DP interpretations have been significantly narrowed down by global electroweak fits. The possibility of attributing the $W-$boson mass anomaly to the chameleon DE is ruled out by other experiments.

description: This paper presents a new approach to hypothesis testing based on a vector of statistics. It involves simulating the statistics under the null hypothesis and then estimating the joint density of the statistics. This allows the p-value of the smallest acceptance region test to be estimated. We prove this p-value is a consistent estimate under some regularity conditions. The small-sample properties of the proposed procedure are investigated in the context of testing for autocorrelation, testing for normality, and testing for model misspecification through the information matrix. We find that our testing procedure has appropriate sizes and good powers.

description: Abstract
Smart polymer-based in situ gelling devices triggered by stimuli have gained popularity in the past ten years as a promising method of giving bioactive to treat a range of neurological conditions, from the nose to the brain. When exposed to a physiological stimulus, the polymers utilized to create pulsatile in situ gel tend to change from the solution phase to the gel. Studies have shown that by extending the native duration in the nasal fossae, the addition of mucoadhesive-ness substances enhances medication absorption through the nasal epithelium. By reducing mucociliary removal and enzymatic degradation and lengthening nasal residence time, in-situ mucoadhesive gel overcomes the drawbacks of nose-to-brain direct transport. This delivery method increases the bioavailability of medications to the brain as well as nasal absorption. This method can be used to deliver a variety of substances intranasal to a range of medicines including proteins, antibodies, peptides, vaccines, large and small-size lipophilic as well as hydrophilic compounds, genes, and Ribonucleic acid.

description: Metal particulate inhalation causes pulmonary and cardiovascular diseases. Our previous results showed that systemic responses to short-term occupational welding-fume exposure could be assessed by microarray analyses in whole-blood total RNA sampled before and after exposure. To expand our understanding of the duration of particulate-induced gene expression changes, we conducted a study using a similar population 1 yr after the original study and extended our observations in the postexposure period. We recruited 15 individuals with welding fume exposure and 7 nonexposed individuals. Thirteen of the 22 individuals (9 in exposed group and 4 in nonexposed group) had been monitored in the previous study. Whole-blood total RNA was analyzed at 3 time points, including baseline, immediately following exposure (approximately 5 h after baseline), and 24 h after baseline, using cDNA microarray technology. We replicated the patterns of Gene Ontology (GO) terms associated with response to stimulus, cell death, phosphorus metabolism, localization, and regulation of biological processes significantly enriched with altered genes in the nonsmoking exposed group. Most of the identified genes had opposite expression changes between the exposure and postexposure periods in nonsmoking welders. In addition, we found dose-dependent patterns that were affected by smoking status. In conclusion, short-term occupational exposure to metal particulates causes systemic responses in the peripheral blood. Furthermore, the acute particulate-induced effects on gene expression profiling were transient in nonsmoking welders, with most effects diminishing within 19 h following exposure.

description: Two experiments from the Fermilab, E989 and CDF II, have reported two anomalies for muon $g-2$ and $W$-boson mass that may indicate the new physics at the low energy scale. Here we examine the possibility of a common origin of these two anomalies in the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. Considering various experimental and astrophysical constraints such as the Higgs mass, collider data, flavor physics, dark matter relic density, and direct detection experiments, we find that lighter electroweakinos and sleptons can generate sufficient contributions to muon $g-2$ and $m_W$. Moreover, the corresponding bino-like neutralino dark matter mass is in the $\sim 180-280$ GeV range. Interestingly, the favored DM mass region can soon be entirely probed by ongoing direct detection experiments like PandaX-4T, XENONnT, LUX-ZEPLIN, and DARWIN.

description: Single-charge tunneling is a decoherence mechanism affecting superconducting qubits, yet the origin of excess quasiparticle excitations (QPs) responsible for this tunneling in superconducting devices is not fully understood. We measure the flux dependence of charge-parity (or simply, ``parity'') switching in an offset-charge-sensitive transmon qubit to identify the contributions of photon-assisted parity switching and QP generation to the overall parity-switching rate. The parity-switching rate exhibits a qubit-state-dependent peak in the flux dependence, indicating a cold distribution of excess QPs which are predominantly trapped in the low-gap film of the device. Moreover, we find that the photon-assisted process contributes significantly to both parity switching and the generation of excess QPs by fitting to a model that self-consistently incorporates photon-assisted parity switching as well as inter-film QP dynamics.

description: Oxidative stress plays a significant role in allergic airway inflammation. Supplementation with alpha-tocopherol (alone or combined with ascorbate/vitamin C) has been assessed as an intervention for allergic airway diseases with conflicting results. Enhancing levels of airway antioxidants with oral supplements has been suggested as an intervention to protect individuals from the effect of inhaled oxidants, although it is unclear whether supplementation changes tocopherol or vitamin C levels in both serum and airway fluids. Our objective was to obtain pilot safety and dosing data from 14 allergic asthmatic volunteers examining the effect of daily combination oral therapy with 500 mg alpha-tocopherol (αT) and 2 g vitamin C for 12 wk. We examined serum and airway fluid and cellular levels of alpha- and gamma-tocopherol (γT) and vitamin C to plan for future studies of these agents in asthma and allergic rhinitis. Six volunteers completed 12 wk of active treatment with αT and vitamin C and 8 completed placebo. Blood and sputum samples were obtained at baseline and at 6 wk and 12 wk of therapy and were analyzed for αT, γT, and vitamin C levels in the serum, sputum supernatant, and sputum cells. Combination treatment increased serum vitamin C and significantly decreased sputum αT and serum γT levels. No changes were found in sputum supernatant or sputum cell vitamin C or serum αT levels in the active treatment group. In conclusion, supplementation with αT and high-dose vitamin C does not augment vitamin C levels in the respiratory-tract lining fluid.

description: Class imbalance distribution widely exists in real-world engineering. However, the mainstream optimization algorithms that seek to minimize error will trap the deep learning model in sub-optimums when facing extreme class imbalance. It seriously harms the classification precision, especially on the minor classes. The essential reason is that the gradients of the classifier weights are imbalanced among the components from different classes. In this paper, we propose Attraction-Repulsion-Balanced Loss (ARB-Loss) to balance the different components of the gradients. We perform experiments on the large-scale classification and segmentation datasets and our ARB-Loss can achieve state-of-the-art performance via only one-stage training instead of 2-stage learning like nowadays SOTA works.

description: The ciliated epithelium of the respiratory airways is one of the first vital systemic surfaces in contact with the ambient air. Ex vivo nasal epithelial ciliary beat frequency (CBF) at room temperature is on the order of 7–8 Hz but may be stimulated by irritant exposure. The upregulation of CBF in response to acute irritant exposure is generally considered to be a transient event with eventual return to baseline. However, studies of CBF dynamics in response to typical lifestyle exposures are limited. This study assessed nasal epithelial CBF among human subjects as a function of quantifiable lifestyle tobacco smoke exposure. Nasal epithelial biopsies were obtained from human subjects with well documented histories of tobacco smoke exposure. CBF was determined using a digital photometric technique and concurrent assays of nasal nitric oxide and urine cotinine and creatinine were performed. Mean CBF among active smokers and non-smokers exposed to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) was elevated over non-smokers. Although there were dramatic differences in relative levels of tobacco smoke exposure, CBF values among tobacco smoke-exposed groups were comparable. Parallel in vitro studies of cultured nasal epithelium exposed to cigarette smoke condensate further supported these observations. These studies suggest that persistent elevation in nasal epithelial CBF is an early, subtle, physiologic effect associated with lifestyle tobacco smoke exposure. The molecular mechanisms that upregulate CBF may also create a cell molecular milieu capable of provoking the eventual emergence of more overt adverse health effects and the pathogenesis of chronic airway disease.

description: Ultralight bosonic dark matter is expected to be able to form a cloud surrounding the supermassive black hole (SMBH) in the Galactic center. With increasing precision of the observations of the stellar kinematics around the SMBH, tiny effects from such a dark matter cloud, including its gravitational perturbation and the direct coupling with the ordinary matter may be detectable. In this work, we search for possible evidence of the scalar cloud using accurate orbital measurements of the S2 star around Sgr~A*. We solve the first order Post-Newtonian equation, considering simultaneously the extended mass distribution of the scalar cloud and the frequency shift induced by the additional coupling via Higgs portal or photon portal interaction. Furthermore, we also investigate the impact of an astrophysical power-law component from the gas and stellar remnants. We find that the astrometric and spectroscopic data of the S2 star are well consistent with the scenario of a point-like mass of Sgr~A*. We thus derive upper limits of the coupling of the new interaction and the extended mass, with and without the contribution from the astrophysical component. The limits of the Higgs/photon coupling and the extended mass of the scalar cloud are the most stringent ones for the scalar mass window between $3.2\times 10^{-19}$~eV and $1.6\times 10^{-18}$~eV.

Existing studies have analyzed IRSA in the single-cell (SC) setup, which does not extend to the more practically relevant multi-cell (MC) setup due to the inter-cell interference. In this work, we analyze MC IRSA, accounting for pilot contamination and multiuser interference. Via numerical simulations, we illustrate that, in practical settings, MC IRSA can have a drastic loss of throughput, up to $70\%$, compared to SC IRSA. Further, MC IRSA requires a significantly higher training length (about 4-5x compared to SC IRSA), in order to support the same user density and achieve the same throughput. We also provide insights into the impact of the pilot length, number of antennas, and signal to noise ratio on the performance of MC IRSA.

description: We consider the partition function $Z_{\ell}(\vec x,0\vert \vec y,t)$ of $\ell$ non-intersecting continuous directed polymers of length $t$ in dimension $1+1$, in a white noise environment, starting from positions $\vec x$ and terminating at positions $\vec y$. When $\ell=1$, it is well known that for fixed $x$, the field $\log Z_1(x,0\vert y,t)$ solves the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation and admits the Brownian motion as a stationary measure. In particular, as $t$ goes to infinity, $Z_1(x,0\vert y,t)/Z_1(x,0\vert 0,t) $ converges to the exponential of a Brownian motion $B(y)$. In this article, we show an analogue of this result for any $\ell$. We show that $Z_{\ell}(\vec x,0\vert \vec y,t)/Z_{\ell}(\vec x,0\vert \vec 0,t) $ converges as $t$ goes to infinity to an explicit functional $Z_{\ell}^{\rm stat}(\vec y)$ of $\ell$ independent Brownian motions. This functional $Z_{\ell}^{\rm stat}(\vec y)$ admits a simple description as the partition sum for $\ell$ non-intersecting semi-discrete polymers on $\ell$ lines. We discuss applications to the endpoints and midpoints distribution for long non-crossing polymers and derive explicit formulas in the case of two polymers. To obtain these results, we show that the stationary measure of the O'Connell-Warren multilayer stochastic heat equation is given by a collection of independent Brownian motions. This in turn is shown via analogous results in a discrete setup for the so-called log-gamma polymer and exploit the connection between non-intersecting log-gamma polymers and the geometric RSK correspondence found in arXiv:1110.3489. .

description: Ozone and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) are environmental pollutants with adverse health effects noted in both healthy and asthmatic individuals. The authors and others have shown that inhalation of ozone and LPS both induce airway neutrophilia. Based on these similarities, the authors tested the hypothesis that common biological factors determine response to these two different agents. Fifteen healthy, nonasthmatic volunteers underwent a 0.4 part per million ozone exposure for 2 h while performing intermittent moderate exercise. These same subjects underwent an inhaled LPS challenge with 20,000 LPS units of Clinical Center Reference LPS, with a minimum of 1 month separating these two challenge sessions. Induced sputum was obtained 24 h before and 4–6 h after each exposure session. Sputum was assessed for total and differential cell counts and expression of cell surface proteins as measured by flow cytometry. Sputum supernatants were assayed for cytokine concentration. Both ozone and LPS challenge augmented sputum neutrophils and subjects’ responses were significantly correlated (R = .73) with each other. Ozone had greater overall influence on cell surface proteins by modifying both monocytes (CD14, human leukocyte antigen [HLA]-DR, CD11b) and macrophages (CD11b, HLA-DR) versus LPS where CD14 and HLA-DR were modified only on monocytes. However, LPS significantly increased interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, with no significant increases seen after ozone challenge. Ozone and LPS exposure in healthy volunteers induce similar neutrophil responses in the airways; however, downstream activation of innate immune responses differ, suggesting that oxidant versus bacterial air pollutants may be mediated by different mechanisms.

description: The effects of low-level ozone exposure (0.08 ppm) on pulmonary function in healthy young adults are well known; however, much less is known about the inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects of low-level ozone in the airways. Techniques such as induced sputum and flow cytometry make it possible to examine airways inflammatory responses and changes in immune cell surface phenotypes following low-level ozone exposure. The purpose of this study was to determine if exposure to 0.08 parts per million ozone for 6.6 h induces inflammation and modifies immune cell surface phenotypes in the airways of healthy adult subjects. Fifteen normal volunteers underwent an established 0.08 part per million ozone exposure protocol to characterize the effect of ozone on airways inflammation and immune cell surface phenotypes. Induced sputum and flow cytometry were used to assess these endpoints 24 h before and 18 h after exposure. The results showed that exposure to 0.08 ppm ozone for 6.6 h induced increased airway neutrophils, monocytes, and dendritic cells and modified the expression of CD14, HLA-DR, CD80, and CD86 on monocytes 18 h following exposure. Exposure to 0.08 parts per million ozone is associated with increased airways inflammation and promotion of antigen-presenting cell phenotypes 18 hours following exposure. These findings need to be replicated in a similar experiment that includes a control air exposure.

description: This study focuses on the results of attendance of changes in the vegetation structure of the fallow after plowing, grass mixture’s sowing and measures to root away Heracleum sosnowskyi Manden. over two growing seasons (2021–2022). The work was carried out on the territory of the scientific and experimental station Otradnoye (Leningrad Region) on a three-year fallow and it revealed the formation of a grass-forb meadow. The number of plant species in each season was approximately similar (57–60) with a strong multi-year fluctuation in the occurrence of assectators. The research enables to note a significant decrease in the level of species dominance. In terms of species diversity, vegetation has maintained relative stability. There are 8 species that define 75% of species differences between the communities of the fallow of two seasons, and 2/3 of that groupe of species are cereals. Lupinus polyphyllus Lindl. make a significant contribution to the multi-year differentiation of vegetation (21%). The abundance of Sosnovsky's hogweed tends to decrease (from 2% to 1.3%). The proposed and tested methodological approach for restoration of meadow vegetation on fallows under the conditions of artificial elimination of Heracleum sosnowskyi Manden. has shown its efficiency and perspective of use.

description: We have employed nasal challenge with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) followed by nasal lavage (NL) to experimentally induce and examine upper airway inflammation in human volunteers. It is unclear however whether adaptation within individuals occurs following repeated nasal challenge. This was a pilot study to determine if repeated nasal LPS challenge yields attenuation of markers of inflammation (primarily neutrophil response) in the NL fluid of healthy humans.

description: Bell and Shallit recently introduced the Lie complexity of an infinite word $s$ as the function counting for each length the number of conjugacy classes of words whose elements are all factors of $s$. They proved, using algebraic techniques, that the Lie complexity is bounded above by the first difference of the factor complexity plus one; hence, it is uniformly bounded for words with linear factor complexity, and, in particular, it is at most 2 for Sturmian words, which are precisely the words with factor complexity $n+1$ for every $n$. In this note, we provide an elementary combinatorial proof of the result of Bell and Shallit and give an exact formula for the Lie complexity of any Sturmian word.
