description: The waning humoral immunity and emerging contagious severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants resulted in the necessity of the booster vaccination of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The inactivated vaccine, CoronaVac, is the most widely supplied COVID-19 vaccine globally. Whether the CoronaVac booster elicited adaptive responses that cross-recognize SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern (VoCs) among 77 healthy subjects receiving the third dose of CoronaVac were explored. After the boost, remarkable elevated spike-specific IgG and IgA responses, as well as boosted neutralization activities, were observed, despite 3.0-fold and 5.9-fold reduced neutralization activities against Delta and Omicron strains compared to that of the ancestral strain. Furthermore, the booster dose induced potent B cells and memory B cells that cross-bound receptor-binding domain (RBD) proteins derived from VoCs, while Delta and Omicron RBD-specific memory B cell recognitions were reduced by 2.7-fold and 4.2-fold compared to that of ancestral strain, respectively. Consistently, spike-specific circulating follicular helper T cells (cTfh) significantly increased and remained stable after the boost, with a predominant expansion towards cTfh17 subpopulations. Moreover, SARS-CoV-2-specific CD4+ and CD8+ T cells peaked and sustained after the booster. Notably, CD4+ and CD8+ T cell recognition of VoC spike was largely preserved compared to the ancestral strain. Individuals without generating Delta or Omicron neutralization activities had comparable levels of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells responses as those with detectable neutralizing activities. Our study demonstrated that the CoronaVac booster induced broad and potent adaptive immune responses that could be effective in controlling SARS-CoV-2 Delta and Omicron variants.

Executive functions and domain-specific cognitive skills in climbers

description: Athletes in a particular sport have specific cognitive skills acquired due to regular confrontation with sport-specific requirements. Studies show that the particular type of sport carried out and fostered by general physical activity impacts executive functions (EFs) such as inhibition, working memory, and cognitive flexibility. There are inconsistent results on the connections between domain-specific cognitive skills and executive functions. This study aimed to evaluate the relations between EFs and domain-specific cognitive skills in climbing. Due to that, we examined the executive functions (neuropsychological tests) and domain-specific cognitive skills (climbing-specific test: a preview of the route vs. climbed moves; climbed moves vs. recognition of moves) of 19 climbers (10 novices, 9 experts, grades 5 to 6a vs. 6c+ to 7b). The inter-subject effects analysis shows that novices and experts in sport climbing do not differ in executive functions in this particular case. Concerning domain-specific cognitive skills, there are differences between experts and novices. Experts show a significantly higher level in planning performance or route idea (p < 0.001) as well as in memorizing of climbed moves (p = 0.004). There are no relations between executive functions and domain-specific cognitive skills in climbers.

description: The Geil-Matsumoto bound conditions the number of rational places of a function field in terms of the Weierstrass semigroup of any of the places. Lewittes' bound preceded the Geil-Matsumoto bound and it only considers the smallest generator of the numerical semigroup. It can be derived from the Geil-Matsumoto bound and so it is weaker. However, for general semigroups the Geil-Matsumoto bound does not have a closed formula and it may be hard to compute, while Lewittes' bound is very simple. We give a closed formula for the Geil-Matsumoto bound for the case when the Weierstrass semigroup has two generators. We first find a solution to the membership problem for semigroups generated by two integers and then apply it to find the above formula. We also study the semigroups for which Lewittes's bound and the Geil-Matsumoto bound coincide. We finally investigate on some simplifications for the computation of the Geil-Matsumoto bound.

description: We investigate Gilbert damping, spectroscopic gyromagnetic ratio and current-induced torques in the one-dimensional Rashba model with an additional noncollinear magnetic exchange field. We find that the Gilbert damping differs between left-handed and right-handed Néel-type magnetic domain walls due to the combination of spatial inversion asymmetry and spin-orbit interaction (SOI), consistent with recent experimental observations of chiral damping. Additionally, we find that also the spectroscopic $g$ factor differs between left-handed and right-handed Néel-type domain walls, which we call chiral gyromagnetism. We also investigate the gyromagnetic ratio in the Rashba model with collinear magnetization, where we find that scattering corrections to the $g$ factor vanish for zero SOI, become important for finite spin-orbit coupling, and tend to stabilize the gyromagnetic ratio close to its nonrelativistic value.

description: The interplay of disorder and interactions is a challenging topic of condensed matter physics, where correlations are crucial and exotic phases develop. In one spatial dimension, a particularly successful method to analyze such problems is the strong-disorder renormalization group (SDRG). This method, which is asymptotically exact in the limit of large disorder, has been successfully employed in the study of several phases of random magnetic chains. Here we develop an SDRG scheme capable to provide in-depth information on a large class of strongly disordered one-dimensional magnetic chains with a global invariance under a generic continuous group. Our methodology can be applied to any Lie-algebra valued spin Hamiltonian, in any representation. As examples, we focus on the physically relevant cases of SO(N) and Sp(N) magnetism, showing the existence of different randomness-dominated phases. These phases display emergent SU(N) symmetry at low energies and fall in two distinct classes, with meson-like or baryon-like characteristics. Our methodology is here explained in detail and helps to shed light on a general mechanism for symmetry emergence in disordered systems.

description: We present the spectral/timing properties of the bare Seyfert galaxy Ark 120 through a deep ~420ks XMM-Newton campaign plus recent NuSTAR observations and a ~6-month Swift monitoring campaign. We investigate the spectral decomposition through fractional rms, covariance and difference spectra, finding the mid- to long-timescale (~day-year) variability to be dominated by a relatively smooth, steep component, peaking in the soft X-ray band. Additionally, we find evidence for variable FeK emission red-ward of the FeK-alpha core on long timescales, consistent with previous findings. We detect a clearly-defined power spectrum which we model with a power law with a slope of alpha ~ 1.9. By extending the power spectrum to lower frequencies through the inclusion of Swift and RXTE data, we find tentative evidence of a high-frequency break, consistent with existing scaling relations. We also explore frequency-dependent Fourier time lags, detecting a negative ('soft') lag for the first time in this source with the 0.3-1 keV band lagging behind the 1-4 keV band with a time delay of ~900s. Finally, we analyze the variability in the optical and UV bands using the Optical/UV Monitor on-board XMM-Newton and the UVOT on-board Swift and search for time-dependent correlations between the optical/UV/X-ray bands. We find tentative evidence for the U-band emission lagging behind the X-rays with a time delay of 2.4 +/- 1.8 days, which we discuss in the context of disc reprocessing.

description: A novel magnetic biochar was prepared via pyrolysis method and modification. The influence factors of contact time, initial concentration, temperature, and pH on the adsorption were investigated. The experimental results exhibited that the adsorption ability of methyl salicylate onto biochar was higher than that of phenol and para-chlorophenol under the same condition, which may be owing to the effect of hydrogen bonding, hydrophobicity, and π–π interaction. The maximum adsorption capacities of phenol, para-chlorophenol and methyl salicylate were 62.6, 131.6, and 169.7 mg/g at 298 K, respectively. This magnetic biochar exhibited high reusability (retained 82.1% after five cycles) and sharply magnetic performance (21.4emu/g).

description: Many real-world networks such as social networks consist of strategic agents. The topology of these networks often plays a crucial role in determining the ease and speed with which certain information driven tasks can be accomplished. Consequently, growing a stable network having a certain desired topology is of interest. Motivated by this, we study the following important problem: given a certain desired topology, under what conditions would best response link alteration strategies adopted by strategic agents, uniquely lead to formation of a stable network having the given topology. This problem is the inverse of the classical network formation problem where we are concerned with determining stable topologies, given the conditions on the network parameters. We study this interesting inverse problem by proposing (1) a recursive model of network formation and (2) a utility model that captures key determinants of network formation. Building upon these models, we explore relevant topologies such as star graph, complete graph, bipartite Turan graph, and multiple stars with interconnected centers. We derive a set of sufficient conditions under which these topologies uniquely emerge, study their social welfare properties, and investigate the effects of deviating from the derived conditions.

description: In this paper, two waste solvent technologies are presented as alternatives to the disposal of spent acetone-water mixtures. In the first alternative, a batch rectifier is used to concentrate the waste in order to obtain a distillate with a higher calorific value, which is then sent to off-site incineration either in a cement kiln or in a conventional waste solvent incinerator. The second alternative is a hybrid process composed by a batch rectifier and a pervaporation unit that processes in batchwise mode the first cut from the distillation task to obtain a dehydrated solvent. Here, four scenarios are considered, comprising two kinds of membrane materials and two different vacuum systems. For each alternative, the conceptual design was carried out with the aid of conceptual models of the unit operations involved. Quasi-optimal values for design and operation variables were used as input data to perform an economical and an environmental assessment of each alternative. The economic analysis suggests that the hybrid process is the best alternative given that the replacement cost of fresh solvent (about 850 U$S/ton) is considered as a credit value. From the environmental analysis with life cycle assessment, two main conclusions can be drawn: i) the use of the distillate as an alternative fuel in a cement kiln leads to a reduction in emissions that is relevant for the categories related to human health and ecosystem quality; and ii) in terms of resource depletion, the hybrid process distillation/pervaporation with the ceramic membrane HybSi (Pervatech) shows the lowest impact due to the solvent recovery.

description: Limited research to date has qualitatively explored the perceptions members of the public who are not environmental activists hold of environmentalists. Therefore a qualitative survey was conducted with 89 US residents aged 21–53 (Mage = 32.74, SDage = 7.89) to obtain an in-depth understanding of how non-activists within the public perceive environmentalists. Data obtained were analyzed using thematic analysis and demonstrated that non-activist perceptions of environmentalists contained both positive and negative components. Environmentalists were seen to value nature and to be actively involved in bringing about positive environmental change (positive component), yet were also viewed as aggressive in their behaviors and stubborn in their beliefs (negative component). Further still, it was found that environmentalists were more likely to be perceived positively when they engaged in individual-level, private sphere behaviors (such as recycling), and negatively when they engaged in collective-level, public sphere behaviors (such as protesting). These findings not only challenge the assumption that members of the public typically evaluate environmentalists negatively, they also outline why some individuals may fail to identify as an environmentalist and engage in pro-environmental behavior. Furthermore, they also provide some insight as to why some environmentalists find it difficult to advocate for system change that results from collective action within the public sphere.

description: A combined measurement and Monte-Carlo simulation study was carried out in order to characterize the particle self-shielding effect of B4C grains in neutron shielding concrete. Several batches of a specialized neutron shielding concrete, with varying B4C grain sizes, were exposed to a 2 Å neutron beam at the R2D2 test beamline at the Institute for Energy Technology located in Kjeller, Norway. The direct and scattered neutrons were detected with a neutron detector placed behind the concrete blocks and the results were compared to Geant4 simulations. The particle self-shielding effect was included in the Geant4 simulations by calculating effective neutron cross-sections during the Monte-Carlo simulation process. It is shown that this method well reproduces the measured results. Our results show that shielding calculations for low-energy neutrons using such materials would lead to an underestimate of the shielding required for a certain design scenario if the particle self-shielding effect is not included in the calculations.

description: A key sticking point of Bayesian analysis is the choice of prior distribution, and there is a vast literature on potential defaults including uniform priors, Jeffreys' priors, reference priors, maximum entropy priors, and weakly informative priors. These methods, however, often manifest a key conceptual tension in prior modeling: a model encoding true prior information should be chosen without reference to the model of the measurement process, but almost all common prior modeling techniques are implicitly motivated by a reference likelihood. In this paper we resolve this apparent paradox by placing the choice of prior into the context of the entire Bayesian analysis, from inference to prediction to model evaluation.

She was based in Guildford. She later recounted stories about her time. She mentioned having her fingernails checked every day. The ovens had no temperature gauge. So, cooking involved a lot of guesswork. The diary included an order for Christmas Day at No.7, ATS Training Centre. It is autographed on the second side.

description: The purpose of this note is two give a mathematical treatment to the low energy effective theory of the two-dimensional sigma model. Perhaps surprisingly, our low energy effective theory encodes much of the topology and geometry of the target manifold. In particular, we relate the $β$-function of our theory to the Ricci curvature of the target, recovering the physical result of Friedan.

description: Fluorometholone (FLM) and Sodium Cromoglycate (CMG) are co-formulated in ophthalmic preparation and showed marked instability under different conditions. Two specific, sensitive and precise stability-indicating chromatographic methods have been developed and validated for their determination in the presence of their degradation products and FLM impurity. Ten components were efficiently separated by them. The first method was HPTLC-spectrodensitometry, where the separation was achieved using silica gel 60 F254 HPTLC plates and developing system of ethyl acetate: methanol (9:1, v/v). The second method was a reversed phase HPLC associated with kinetic study of the degradation process and was successfully applied for determination of the studied compounds in spiked rabbit aqueous humor. The mobile phase was acetonitrile: methanol: 0.05 M potassium dihydrogenphosphate (0.1% trimethylamine); pH 2.5, adjusted with orthophosphoric acid (20: 30: 50, by volume). In both methods, the separated components were detected at 240 nm and system suitability was checked. Good correlation was obtained in the range of 0.10–24.00 and 0.20–48.00 µg band−1, for FLM and CMG by HPTLC. While for HPLC, the linearity ranges from 0.01–50.00 and 0.05–50.00 µg mL−1 for both drugs. The methods were applied in pharmaceutical formulation, where they were compared to the reported method with no significant difference.

description: Generally, the performance of a generic detector decreases significantly when it is tested on a specific scene due to the large variation between the source training dataset and the samples from the target scene. To solve this problem, we propose a new formalism of transfer learning based on the theory of a Sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) filter to automatically specialize a scene-specific Faster R-CNN detector. The suggested framework uses different strategies based on the SMC filter steps to approximate iteratively the target distribution as a set of samples in order to specialize the Faster R-CNN detector towards a target scene. Moreover, we put forward a likelihood function that combines spatio-temporal information extracted from the target video sequence and the confidence-score given by the output layer of the Faster R-CNN, to favor the selection of target samples associated with the right label. The effectiveness of the suggested framework is demonstrated through experiments on several public traffic datasets. Compared with the state-of-the-art specialization frameworks, the proposed framework presents encouraging results for both single and multi-traffic object detections.

description: In recent years, green pea aphid acyrthosiphon pisum (Harris) has been identified as one of the important post of alfalfa, and it is active in most parts of Iran in alfalfa farms and causes damage to them including Mazandaran, Fars, Isfahan, Kermanshah, and Eastern Azarbaijan. This aphid is active in two a live winged and alive wingless farms within all farming year. According to studies conducted on this pest biologically, it's maximum activity has been occurred in May and at beginning of July when monthly maximum heat has been in a range from 28 to 30 C and relative humanity in range from 60% to 65%. For this reason maximum damage to the alfalfa product caused by this aphid is accomplished within this time. On the basis of the conduct studies, sexual and adulation steps in this aphid has not been observed in the climatic conditions of Mazandaran. This aphid passes the winter in alive wingless females form. In spring they begin to be active upon favorableness of climatic conditions and generate wangled and wingless individuals by the Parthenogenes thelytoqie /parthenogenesis in spring and are active and reproduce via this method throughout the year in case of existence of the host. In the performed studies, it has been shown that each viviparous female aphid has reproduced 26 to 71 youngs. The young ones have been maturated following 6 to 8 days and their life span has been in a range from 11 to 12 days since birth time.
Double-grid quadrature with interpolation-projection (DoGIP) as a novel discretisation approach: An application to FEM on simplexes

description: This paper is focused on the double-grid integration with interpolation-projection (DoGIP), which is a novel matrix-free discretisation method of variational formulations introduced for Fourier--Galerkin approximation. Here, it is described as a more general approach with an application to the finite element method (FEM) on simplexes. The approach is based on treating the trial and a test function in variational formulation together, which leads to the decomposition of a linear system into interpolation and (block) diagonal matrices. It usually leads to reduced memory demands, especially for higher-order basis functions, but with higher computational requirements. The numerical examples are studied here for two variational formulations: weighted projection and scalar elliptic problem modelling, e.g. diffusion or stationary heat transfer. This paper also opens a room for further investigation, which is discussed in the conclusion.

description: A simple route to prepare Gd$_{0.7}$Sr$_{0.3}$MnO$_3$ nanoparticles by ultrasonication of their bulk powder materials is presented in this article. For comparison, Gd$_{0.7}$Sr$_{0.3}$MnO$_3$ nanoparticles are also prepared by ball milling. The prepared samples are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD),field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), X-ray photoelectron spectroscope (XPS), and Superconducting Quantum Interference Device (SQUID) magnetometer. XRD Rietveld analysis is carried out extensively for the determination of crystallographic parameters and the amount of crystalline and amorphous phases. FESEM images demonstrate the formation of nanoparticles with average particle size in the range of 50-100 nm for both ultrasonication and 4 hours (h) of ball milling. The bulk materials and nanoparticles synthesized by both ultrasonication and 4 h ball milling exhibit a paramagnetic to spin-glass transition. However, nanoparticles synthesized by 8 h and 12 h ball milling do not reveal any phase transition, rather show an upturn of magnetization at low temperature. The degradation of the magnetic properties in ball milled nanoparticles may be associated with amorphization of the nanoparticles due to ball milling particularly for milling time exceeding 8 h. This investigation demonstrates the potential of ultrasonication as a simple route to prepare high crystalline rare-earth based manganite nanoparticles with improved control compared to the traditional ball milling technique.

description: We formulate a quasiclassical theory ($ω_cτ\lesssim 1$ with $ω_c$ as the cyclotron frequency and $τ$ as the relaxation time) to study the influence of magnetic field on electron-impurity scattering process in the two-dimensional electron gas. We introduce a general recipe based on an abstraction of the detailed impurity scattering process to define the scattering parameter such as the incoming and outgoing momentum and coordinate jump. In this picture, we can conveniently describe the skew scattering and coordinate jump, which will eventually modify the Boltzmann equation. We find an anomalous Hall resistivity different from the conventional Boltzmann-Drude result and a negative magnetoresistivity parabolic in magnetic field. The origin of these results has been analyzed. The relevance between our theory and recent simulation and experimental works is also discussed. Our theory dominates in dilute impurity system where the correlation effect is negligible.

description: This paper tackles the unconstrained minimization of a class of nonsmooth and nonconvex functions that can be written as finite max-functions. A gradient and function-based sampling method is proposed which, under special circumstances, either moves superlinearly to a minimizer of the problem of interest or superlinearly improves the optimality certificate. Global and local convergence analysis are presented, as well as illustrative examples that corroborate and elucidate the obtained theoretical results.
