description: This study uses percentiles under the exponentiated Rayleigh distribution to build a skip lot sampling plan of the SkSP-V type for a life test. A truncated life test may be carried out to determine the minimum sample size to guarantee a specific percentage life time of products. In particular, this paper highlights the construction of the Skip lot Sampling Plan of the type SkSP-V by considering the Singe Sampling Plan as reference plans for life tests based on percentiles of Exponentiated Rayleigh Distribution. Calculations are made for various quality levels to determine the minimum sample size, prescribed ratio, and operational characteristic values. The proposed sampling plan, which is appropriate for the manufacturing industries for the selection of samples, is also analyzed in terms of its parameters and metrics. The curve is produced after tabulating the operating characteristic data of the plan. Illustrations are provided to help you comprehend the plan. In addition, it addresses the feasibility of the new strategy.

description: We study the mixed effect of QCD and QED corrections to the evolution of parton distribution functions (PDFs). The Altarelli-Parisi splitting functions are extended to one order higher in QED, reaching ${\cal O}(α\, α_S^2)$ accuracy. This also involves extending DGLAP equations to include charge separation effects, that are ignored for pure QCD corrections. Besides that, these effects are crucial for the determination of the photon distribution, which plays an increasingly important role in nowadays phenomenological analysis.

title: Mind the Gap?: Children's Domestic Writings and Their Implications for Educational Practice
Creators: name: Travers, Joan
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2009

description: This study, situated in the field of sociocultural research, investigates how the home supports the writing development of my multilingual daughter, Pia, between the ages of 3-9 years old. Using ethnographic methods, data is gathered at Pia's home, where approximately eight hundred unsolicited texts written in English, French and German are supplemented by fieldnotes, conversational and photographic data. Data is also collected at Pia's bilingual, French-German school in order to assess institutional contributions to Pia's writing development during reception class and Year One. As a final measure, data is also gathered on the domestic literacy practices of Pia's classmates and their families so that we may put the findings on a single child into perspective. The findings confirm that homes and schools place different emphasis on the physical, social and psychological features inherent in literacy-related interactions. The result is a gap between the messages homes and schools transmit about the purposes of writing. At home, literacy is used rather than explicitly taught. The implicit, holistic nature of family dynamics fosters Pia's experience of writing as socially embedded practice, driven by her very real need to communicate with family members and friends in her environment. At school, by contrast, the child is positioned as an apprentice, who experiences writing more as an abstract cognitive skill. Significantly, Pia's domestic writing is in advance of curricular expectations. This seems to suggest that implicit teaching strategies, coupled to a re-evaluation of the physical, social and psychological aspects of classroom literacy, may be useful in enhancing writing activities within schools. The implicit character of domestic literacy, however, taking place on the margins of awareness, not only largely accounts for why children may find it hard to talk about their domestic literacy practices, but also explains why such practices remain unseen, and, consequently, unacknowledged.

description: Large area MoS2 and WS2 van der Waals epitaxial thin films with complete control over number of layers including monolayer is grown by pulsed laser deposition utilizing slower growth kinetics. The films grown on c-plane sapphire show stiffening of A1g and E12g phonon modes with decreasing number of layers for both MoS2 and WS2. The observed stiffening translate into the compressive strain of 0.52 % & 0.53 % with accompanying increase in fundamental direct band gap to 1.74 and 1.68 eV for monolayer MoS2 and WS2, respectively. The strain decays with the number of layers. HRTEM imaging directly reveals the nature of atomic registry of van der Waals layers with the substrate and the associated compressive strain. The results demonstrate a practical route to stabilize and engineer strain for this class of material over large area device fabrication.

description: Introduction: Every second woman suffering from infertility asks for medical help. There is public concern that vaccination-induced antibodies (Ab) are negatively associated with fertility. A recent study has demonstrated an association between SARS-CoV-2 vaccination and a lower pregnancy rate in the subsequent 60 days. Consequently, Ab could affect fertility success in assisted reproduction. Methods: To address this question, we compared fertilization outcomes of vaccinated (n=35) and nonvaccinated (n=34) women. Paired serum samples and multiple follicular fluids (FF) (up to 10 from the same donor) were collected during the course of assisted reproduction and characterized for oocyte quality, the presence of Ab and trace element concentrations. Results: The results showed a positive correlation of vaccination-induced neutralizing activity of SARS-CoV-2-Ab in serum and FF. On average, Ab concentrations in serum were higher than in the corresponding FF. However, wide variations in SARS-CoV-2 Ab titers were observed between different FF, correlating to trace element levels, even when retrieved from the same donor. Discussion: Overall, FF contents are highly variable, but no negative association was observed between Ab in serum or FF and fertilization success and oocyte development, supporting the safety of SARS-CoV-2 vaccination during assisted reproduction.

description: The most appropriate procedures in the inventory organization area are inventory arrangements based on ABC investigation, a well-known technique for establishing the objects in a different collection, giving their status and principles. This research BiA mathematical goal to advance the inventory group founded on the ABC. The Planned model instantly improves the amenity level, the amount of inventory grouping, and the number of due things. An Arithmetical model is available in this study to categorize inventory objects, considering significant revenue and rate decrease catalogues. The model aims to maximize the net gain of available items. Economic and inventory constraints are also taken into account. The Benders decay and Lagrange reduction procedures respond to classical arithmetical stands. The outcomes of the two answers are then equated. TOPSIS and numerical examinations estimate the planned answers and choose the best. Later, numerous sensitivity studies on the classic were completed, which assists inventory control executives in regulating the outcome of inventory administration rates configured for optimum verdict production and element grouping. The Arithmetical diagram was run for ten different arithmetic instances, and the results of the two suggested explanations were statistically equated using a t-test. As a result, the TOPSIS technique was appropriate; the Lagrangean approach was chosen as the more fabulous technique.

description: The family of innate lymphoid cells (ILCs), consisting of Group 1 ILCs (natural killer cells and ILC1), ILC2, and ILC3, are critical effectors of innate immunity, inflammation, and homeostasis post-natally, but also exert essential functions before birth. Recent studies during critical developmental periods in the embryo have hinted at complex waves of tissue colonization, and highlighted the breadth of multipotent and committed ILC progenitors from both classic fetal hematopoietic organs such as the liver, as well as tissue sites such as the lung, thymus, and intestine. Assessment of the mechanisms driving cell fate and function of the ILC family in the embryo will be vital to the understanding ILC biology throughout fetal life and beyond.

description: Localization and mass spectrum of bosonic and fermionic matter fields of some novel families of asymmetric thick brane configurations generated by deformed defects are investigated. The localization profiles of spin 0, spin 1/2 and spin 1 bulk fields are identified for novel matter field potentials supported by thick branes with internal structures. The condition for localization is constrained by the brane thickness of each model such that thickest branes strongly induces matter localization. The bulk mass terms for both fermion and boson fields are included in the global action as to produce some imprints on mass-independent potentials of the Kaluza-Klein modes associated to the corresponding Schrödinger equations. In particular, for spin 1/2 fermions, a complete analytical profile of localization is obtained for the four classes of superpotentials here discussed. Regarding the localization of fermion fields, our overall conclusion indicates that thick branes produce a left-right asymmetric chiral localization of spin 1/2 particles.

description: A failure is one of the key concepts in dependability. Therefore, it is very important to distinguish whether a failure has occurred or not. To do this, a failure criterion is formulated. This article describes main approaches to determining failure criteria. Special attention is paid to the parametric approach, in which a failure is an event when one of the parameters characterizing the functioning of an item goes beyond the specified limits. In addition, a time over threshold can also be set. This means that short-term disruptions in item’s operation are not considered as failures. The meaning of setting such a threshold is explained and examples of its use in telecommunications are given. For a parallel system with a time over threshold in a failure criterion, calculation formulas for dependability measures are derived. The errors that the use of traditional formulas gives in this situation are estimated.
Imaging of locally rough surfaces from intensity-only far-field or near-field data

description: This paper is concerned with a nonlinear imaging problem, which aims to reconstruct a locally perturbed, perfectly reflecting, infinite plane from intensity-only (or phaseless) far-field or near-field data. A recursive Newton iteration algorithm in frequencies is developed to reconstruct the locally rough surface from multi-frequency intensity-only far-field or near-field data, where the fast integral equation solver developed in [39] is used to solve the direct scattering problem in each iteration. For the case with far-field data, a main feature of our work is that the incident field is taken as a superposition of two plane waves with different directions rather than one plane wave, so the location and shape of the local perturbation of the infinite plane can be reconstructed simultaneously from intensity-only far-field data with multiple wave numbers. This is different from previous work on inverse scattering from phaseless far-field data, where only the shape reconstruction was considered due to the translation invariance property of the phaseless far-field pattern corresponding to one plane wave as the incident field. Finally, numerical examples are carried out to demonstrate that our reconstruction algorithm is stable and accurate even for the case of multiple-scale profiles.

description: Recurrent neoepitopes are cancer-specific antigens common among groups of patients and therefore ideal targets for adoptive T cell therapy. The neoepitope FSGEYIPTV carries the Rac1P29S amino acid change caused by a c.85C>T missense mutation, which is the third most common hotspot mutation in melanoma. Here, we isolated and characterized TCRs to target this HLA-A*02:01-binding neoepitope by adoptive T cell therapy. Peptide immunization elicited immune responses in transgenic mice expressing a diverse human TCR repertoire restricted to HLA-A*02:01, which enabled isolation of high-affinity TCRs. TCR-transduced T cells induced cytotoxicity against Rac1P29S expressing melanoma cells and we observed regression of Rac1P29S expressing tumors in vivo after adoptive T cell therapy (ATT). Here we found that a TCR raised against a heterologous mutation with higher peptide-MHC affinity (Rac2P29L) more efficiently targeted the common melanoma mutation Rac1P29S. Overall, our study provides evidence for the therapeutic potential of Rac1P29S-specific TCR-transduced T cells and reveal a novel strategy by generating more efficient TCRs by heterologous peptides.
Quantum Capacitance Modifies Interionic Interactions in Semiconducting Nanopores

description: Nanopores made with low dimensional semiconducting materials, such as carbon nanotubes and graphene slit pores, are used in supercapacitors. In theories and simulations of their operation, it is often assumed that such pores screen ion-ion interactions like metallic pores, i.e. that screening leads to an exponential decay of the interaction potential with ion separation. By introducing a quantum capacitance that accounts for the density of states in the material, we show that ion-ion interactions in carbon nanotubes and graphene slit pores actually decay algebraically with ion separation. This result suggests a new avenue of capacitance optimization based on tuning the electronic structure of a pore: a marked enhancement in capacitance might be achieved by developing nanopores made with metallic materials or bulk semimetallic materials.

description: We obtain estimates of stellar atmospheric parameters for a previously published sample of 1777 relatively bright (9 < B < 14) metal-poor candidates from the Hamburg/ESO Survey. The original Frebel et al. analysis of these stars was only able to derive estimates of [Fe/H] and [C/Fe] for a subset of the sample, due to limitations in the methodology then available. A new spectroscopic analysis pipeline has been used to obtain estimates of Teff, log g, [Fe/H], and [C/Fe] for almost the entire dataset. This sample is very local - about 90% of the stars are located within 0.5 kpc of the Sun. We consider the chemodynamical properties of these stars in concert with a similarly local sample of stars from a recent analysis of the Bidelman & MacConnell 'weak-metal' candidates by Beers et al. We use this combined sample to identify possible members of the suggested halo stream of stars by Helmi et al. and Chiba & Beers, as well as stars that may be associated with stripped debris from the putative parent dwarf of the globular cluster Omega Centauri, suggested to exist by previous authors. We identify a clear increase in the cumulative frequency of carbon-enhanced metal-poor (CEMP) stars with declining metallicity, as well as an increase in the fraction of CEMP stars with distance from the Galactic plane, consistent with previous results. We also identify a relatively large number of CEMP stars with kinematics consistent with the metal-weak thick-disk population, with possible implications for its origin.

description: One of the various optimization methods that addresses optimization under uncertainty is fuzzy linear programming. This model can be used when there is ambiguity in the situation because it is not precisely specified or when the problem does not require an exact value. With fuzzy linear programming, there is a range of grey between the two extremes as opposed to binary models, where an event may only be either black or white. As a result, it broadens the range of potential applications because most scenarios involve a spectrum of values rather than a bipolar state. In this article, a new FLP-based method is developed using a single MF, called modified logistics MF. The modified MF logistics and its modifications taking into account the characteristics of the parameter are from the analysis process. This MF was tested for useful performance by modeling using FLP. The developed version of FLP provides confidence in the existing IPPP application. This approach to resolving the IPPP can get feedback from the decision maker, the implementer and the analyst. In this case, this process can be called FLP interaction. FS self-assembly for MPS problems can be developed to find satisfactory solutions. The decision maker, researcher and practitioner can apply their knowledge and experience to get the best results.

description: In this paper we introduce a new framework to train an Echo State Network to predict real valued time-series. The method consists in projecting the output of the internal layer of the network on a space with lower dimensionality, before training the output layer to learn the target task. Notably, we enforce a regularization constraint that leads to better generalization capabilities. We evaluate the performances of our approach on several benchmark tests, using different techniques to train the readout of the network, achieving superior predictive performance when using the proposed framework. Finally, we provide an insight on the effectiveness of the implemented mechanics through a visualization of the trajectory in the phase space and relying on the methodologies of nonlinear time-series analysis. By applying our method on well known chaotic systems, we provide evidence that the lower dimensional embedding retains the dynamical properties of the underlying system better than the full-dimensional internal states of the network.

description: Local gravitational theories with more than four derivatives have remarkable quantum properties, e.g., they are super-renormalizable and may be unitary in the Lee-Wick sense. Therefore, it is important to explore also the IR limit of these theories and identify observable signatures of the higher derivatives. In the present work we study the scattering of a photon by a classical external gravitational field in the sixth-derivative model whose propagator contains only real, simple poles. Also, we discuss the possibility of a gravitational seesaw-like mechanism, which could allow the make up of a relatively small physical mass from the huge massive parameters of the action. If possible, this mechanism would be a way out of the Planck suppression, affecting the gravitational deflection of low energy photons. It turns out that the mechanism which actually occurs works only to shift heavier masses to the further UV region. This fact may be favourable for protecting the theory from instabilities, but makes experimental detection of higher derivatives more difficult.

description: Developing a project planning structure for all industries is a technological challenge involving evaluating several restrictions for each activity’s respective task and its planning tools. Any restriction affects the completion time, operating costs, and overall project performance. Programme Evaluation Review Technique (PERT) and Critical Path Method (CPM) processes made many researchers study the possible ways of finding the critical paths and activities in the network. The advancement of the CPM and PERT towards a probabilistic environment is still a long way off. However, Artificial intelligence approaches such as the Genetic Algorithm, Dijkstra’s algorithm, and others are utilized for network analysis within the project management framework. This study is to help the project manager plan schedule for a construction project to determine the expected completion time. In this research paper, we describe a method for obtaining the earliest and latest times of a critical path using modified Dijkstra’s algorithm with triangular fuzzy numbers. Forward pass and backward pass algorithms are designed to find the optimal path for the proposed method. Numerical examples are also illustrated for the same. Simulation results are included by the use of the “C” program. Finally, a comparison is made with the traditional method PERT.

description: Maternal autoantibodies can be transmitted diaplacentally, with potentially deleterious effects on neurodevelopment. Synapsin 1 (SYN1) is a neuronal protein that is important for synaptic communication and neuronal plasticity. While monoallelic loss of function (LoF) variants in the SYN1 gene result in X-linked intellectual disability (ID), learning disabilities, epilepsy, behavioral problems, and macrocephaly, the effect of SYN1 autoantibodies on neurodevelopment remains unclear. We recruited a clinical cohort of 208 mothers and their children with neurologic abnormalities and analyzed the role of maternal SYN1 autoantibodies. We identified seropositivity in 9.6% of mothers, and seropositivity was associated with an increased risk for ID and behavioral problems. Furthermore, children more frequently had epilepsy, macrocephaly, and developmental delay, in line with the SYN1 LoF phenotype. Whether SYN1 autoantibodies have a direct pathogenic effect on neurodevelopment or serve as biomarkers requires functional experiments.

Creators: name: ATLAS Collaboration
Publisher: name: HEPData
Year: 2018

description: pseudocode illustrating the event and object selections for all the signal regions
description: CERN-LHC. This paper presents a search for direct electroweak gaugino or gluino pair production with a chargino nearly mass-degenerate with a stable neutralino. It is based on an integrated luminosity of 36.1 fb$^{-1}$ of $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV collected by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. The final state of interest is a disappearing track accompanied by at least one jet with high transverse momentum from initial-state radiation or by four jets from the gluino decay chain. The use of short track segments reconstructed from the innermost tracking layers significantly improves the sensitivity to short chargino lifetimes. The results are found to be consistent with Standard Model predictions. Exclusion limits are set at 95% confidence level on the mass of charginos and gluinos for different chargino lifetimes. For a pure wino with a lifetime of about 0.2 ns, chargino masses up to 460 GeV are excluded. For the strong production channel, gluino masses up to 1.65 TeV are excluded assuming a chargino mass of 460 GeV and lifetime of 0.2 ns. For the strong production channel, gluino masses up to 1.65 TeV are excluded assuming a chargino mass of 460 GeV and lifetime of 0.2 ns.

description: In process of observing data, it is sometimes not possible to obtain data precisely and fuzzy methods are useful for analyzing such data sets. In this article, we propose location-scale family of the Teissier distribution for fitting fuzzy censored data sets. The maximum likelihood, least squares and Bayes estimators of the parameters of the Teissier distribution are constructed in the presence of the progressively fuzzy censored samples. In addition to that statistical properties of the distribution are also derived. Fitting of the tensile strengths of the carbon fibers is done using the proposed distribution with comparison to the location-scale families of the exponential, Maxwell and Lindley distributions. We found that the Teissier distribution can be effectively used for fitting complete and fuzzy censored data as well.

description: This paper describes an optimisation methodology that has been specifically developed for engineering design problems. The methodology is based on a Tabu search (TS) algorithm that has been shown to find high quality solutions with a relatively low number of objective function evaluations. Whilst the methodology was originally intended for a small range of design problems it has since been successfully applied to problems from different domains with no alteration to the underlying method. This paper describes the method and its application to three different problems. The first is from the field of structural design, the second relates to the design of electromagnetic pole shapes and the third involves the design of turbomachinery blades.

description: This paper presents Living Globe, an application for visualization of demo- graphic data supporting the temporal comparison of data from several countries represented on a 3D globe. Living Globe allows the visual exploration of the following demographic data: total population, population density and growth, crude birth and death rates, life expectancy, net migration and population per- centage of different age groups. While offering unexperienced users a default mapping of these data variables into visual variables, Living Globe allows more advanced users to select the mapping, increasing its flexibility. The main aspects of the Living Globe model and prototype are described as well as the evaluation results obtained using heuristic evaluation and usability testing. Some conclusions and ideas for future work are also presented.

description: For optimal utilization of resources, the inventory models are required in several places such as market yards, production processes, warehouses, oil exploration industries and food vegetable markets. Huge work has been produced by several researchers in inventory models for obtaining optimal ordering quantity and pricing policies. This paper addresses an EOQ model for deteriorating items having Weibull decay under inflation and permissible delay in payments. It is considered that the demand of items is a function of selling price. It is further assumed that the decay of items starts after certain period of time which can be well characterized by truncated Weibull probability model for the life time of the commodity. The optimal ordering and pricing policies of this system are derived and analyzed in the light of the input parameters and costs. Through sensitivity analysis it is demonstrated that the delay in the payments and rate of inflation have significant effect on the optimal policies. This model is very useful in the analyzing market yards where sea foods, vegetables, fruits, edible oils are stored and distributed.

description: Emphysematous diseases of the abdomen are rare with an often inconspicuous presentation of symptoms and rapid lethal outcome if untreated. We report the first successfully treated case of Clostridium perfringens-associated emphysematous hepatitis. In the emergency room, a 79-year-old man presented with shortness of breath and deteriorated general condition since the morning of admission. Initial CT scans showed a small but rapidly expanding gas collection in liver segment 6. Emergency surgery with atypical liver resection was performed immediately. With early resection and prolonged administration of antibiotics in the presence of sepsis, the patient recovered successfully and was discharged 37 days after admission. As in our case, prompt diagnosis with early surgical treatment is crucial for the management of emphysematous hepatitis.

description: An approach to the formalization of the standard knowledge management process is proposed, taking into account the requirements for information protection. The approach has been developed to the level of methodical approach for estimation and rationale system solutions to reduce risks and/or retain risks within acceptable limits for various threats scenarios. The use of the approach allows to estimate the impact of various threats on knowledge management process performance by probabilistic measures (including threats to the violation of information protection requirements). The usability of the proposed methodical approach is demonstrated by examples.
