description: "Bibliometrics", "scientometrics", "informetrics", and "webometrics" can all be considered as manifestations of a single research area with similar objectives and methods, which we call "information metrics" or iMetrics. This study explores the cognitive and social distinctness of iMetrics with respect to the general information science (IS), focusing on a core of researchers, shared vocabulary and literature/knowledge base. Our analysis investigates the similarities and differences between four document sets. The document sets are drawn from three core journals for iMetrics research (Scientometrics, Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology, and Journal of Informetrics). We split JASIST into document sets containing iMetrics and general IS articles. The volume of publications in this representation of the specialty has increased rapidly during the last decade. A core of researchers that predominantly focus on iMetrics topics can thus be identified. This core group has developed a shared vocabulary as exhibited in high similarity of title words and one that shares a knowledge base. The research front of this field moves faster than the research front of information science in general, bringing it closer to Price's dream.

description: We present a complete characterization of ferromagnetic system CeIr2B2 using powder x-ray diffraction XRD, magnetic susceptibility chi(T), isothermal magnetization M(H), specific heat C(T), electrical resistivity rho(T,H), and thermoelectric power S(T) measurements. Furthermore 11B NMR study was performed to probe the magnetism on a microscopic scale. The chi(T), C(T) and rho(T) data confirm bulk ferromagnetic ordering with Tc = 5.1 K. Ce ions in CeIr2B2 are in stable trivalent state. Our low-temperature C(T) data measured down to 0.4 K yield Sommerfeld coefficient gamma = 73(4) mJ/molK2 which is much smaller than the previously reported value of gamma = 180 mJ/molK2 deduced from the specific heat measurement down to 2.5 K. For LaIr2B2 gamma = 6(1) mJ/molK2 which implies the density of states at the Fermi level D(EF) = 2.54 states/(eV f.u.) for both spin directions. The renormalization factor for quasi-particle density of states and hence for quasi-particle mass due to 4f correlations in CeIr2B2 is 12. The Kondo temperature TK ~ 4 K is estimated from the jump in specific heat of CeIr2B2 at Tc. Both C(T) and rho(T) data exhibit gapped-magnon behavior in magnetically ordered state with an energy gap Eg ~ 3.5 K. The rho data as a function of magnetic field H indicate a large negative magnetoresistance (MR) which is highest for T = 5 K.While at 5 K the negative MR keeps on increasing up to 10 T, at 2 K an upturn is observed near H = 3.5 T. On the other hand, the thermoelectric power data have small absolute values (S ~ 7 μV/K) indicating a weak Kondo interaction. A shoulder in S(T) at about 30 K followed by a minimum at ~ 10 K is attributed to crystal electric field (CEF) effects and the onset of magnetic ordering. 11B NMR line broadening provides strong evidence of ferromagnetic correlations below 40 K.

description: Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is the most common type of autoimmune arthritis affecting 0.5–1% of the adult population worldwide. While the primary line of treatment of RA includes pharmacological therapies, people living with the condition often seek non-pharmacological therapies such as diet and exercise in an attempt to attenuate their symptoms. Established, evidence-based dietary guidelines for RA are currently lacking. The MEDRA study aims to explore the effectiveness of implementing, via telehealth, a Mediterranean type diet. (MedDiet) compared to a standard healthy diet as per the Healthy Eating Guidelines (HEG) in Ireland in terms of differences in physical function and quality of life in adults with RA living in Ireland. Methods: The MEDRA study is a parallel, randomised controlled trial delivered through telehealth methods. Forty-four eligible participants who have RA will be randomly allocated to either a MedDiet or HEG group for a 12 weeks intervention period. Primary outcome measures include changes in physical function and quality of life, both of which will be measured using validated questionnaires at baseline, six and twelve weeks. Both intervention arms will attend a total five teleconsultations with a Registered Dietitian (RD). The MedDiet intervention arm focuses on recommendations from the traditional Mediterranean diet and HEG intervention arm will use the dietary recommendations as currently advised in Ireland. Discussion: This study will provide evidence as to whether dietary treatment of RA can improve physical function and quality of life in a small cohort of participants with RA. The results of the study will be disseminated at national scientific conferences and published in peer-reviewed journals. Ethics: This protocol has been approved by the Education and Health Sciences Research Ethics Committee at the University of Limerick (2020_09_05_EHS) and by the Health Service Executive Mid-Western Regional Hospital Research Ethics Committee (REC Ref 103/19). Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT04262505. Trial registration date: April 2, 2020.

description: The first deep blank-field 450um map (1-sigma~1.3mJy) from the SCUBA-2 Cosmology Legacy Survey (S2CLS), conducted with the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) is presented. Our map covers 140 arcmin^2 of the COSMOS field, in the footprint of the HST CANDELS area. Using 60 submillimetre galaxies (SMGs) detected at >3.75-sigma, we evaluate the number counts of 450um-selected galaxies with flux densities S_450>5mJy. The 8-arcsec JCMT beam and high sensitivity of SCUBA-2 now make it possible to directly resolve a larger fraction of the cosmic infrared background (CIB, peaking at ~200um) into the individual galaxies responsible for its emission than has previously been possible at this wavelength. At S_450>5mJy we resolve (7.4[+/-]0.7)x10^-2 MJy/sr of the CIB at 450um (equivalent to 16[+/-]7% of the absolute brightness measured by COBE at this wavelength) into point sources. A further ~40% of the CIB can be recovered through a statistical stack of 24um emitters in this field, indicating that the majority (~60%) of the CIB at 450um is emitted by galaxies with S_450>2mJy. The average redshift of 450um emitters identified with an optical/near-infrared counterpart is estimated to be =1.3, implying that the galaxies in the sample are in the ultraluminous class (L_IR~1.1x10^12 L_sun). If the galaxies contributing to the statistical stack lie at similar redshifts, then the majority of the CIB at 450um is emitted by galaxies in the LIRG class with L_IR>3.6x10^11 L_sun.

description: The project culminates from works on BioDigester Technology for providing clean energy, healthy sanitation (Decentralised Sanitation, DeWaT) and Enhanced Agriculture Production using Organic fertilizers. The need for sustainable and healthy food production systems has paved way for the growing use of organic fertilizers and manure. Biogas Technology through the BioDigester effluent/slurry has proved to be a good source of organic fertiliser or manure. The organic fertilizer from BioDigesters is a good soil conditioner improving the soils' water retention and plants' water absorption characteristics. Crops grown from biofertilizers are free from chemical pollution and provide a source of good nutrition for human consumption.The slurry was dried and applied on three different crops with 3 replications of application rates namely 0%, 25%, and 50%. Compared to the control (0%), performance effect on the crop of the of the 25% was instant yet short lived while the 50% was gradual and the plant vigor was sustained for the duration of the period of observation. This was 2 months. Crops planted were Rape, Chinese Cabbage and Spring Onion. A vertical garden setting was used in the experiment.

description: We consider fermions on a 2D square lattice with a finite-range pairing interaction, and obtain signatures for unconventional pair-symmetry states, $d_{x^2-y^2}$ and extended-s ($s^*$), in the BCS-BEC crossover region. We find that the fermion momentum distribution function, $v_k^2$, the ratio of the Bogoliubov coefficients, $v_k/u_k$, and the Fourier transform of $v_k^2$ are strikingly different for $d$- and $s^*$ symmetries in the crossover region. The chemical potential and the gaps functions for both pairing symmetries show several interesting features as a function of interaction. Fermionic atoms in 2D optical lattices may provide a way to test these signatures. We discuss current generation cold atom experiments that may be utilized.

Implications of Poincare symmetry for thermal field theories in finite-volume

description: The analytic continuation to an imaginary velocity $iξ$ of the canonical partition function of a thermal system expressed in a moving frame has a natural implementation in the Euclidean path-integral formulation in terms of shifted boundary conditions. Writing the Boltzmann factor as $\exp[-L_0(H-iξ.P)]$, the Poincare invariance underlying a relativistic theory implies a dependence of the free-energy on $L_0$ and the shift $ξ$ only through the combination $β= L_0 \sqrt{1+ξ^2}$. This in turn implies a set of Ward identities, some of which were previously derived by us, among the correlators of the energy-momentum tensor. In the infinite-volume limit they lead to relations among the cumulants of the total energy distribution and those of the momentum, i.e. they connect the energy and the momentum distributions in the canonical ensemble. In finite volume the Poincare symmetry translates into exact relations among partition functions and correlation functions defined with different sets of (generalized) periodic boundary conditions. They have interesting applications in lattice field theory. In particular, they offer Ward identities to renormalize non-perturbatively the energy-momentum tensor and novel ways to compute thermodynamic potentials. At fixed bare parameters they also provide a simple method to vary the temperature in much smaller steps than with the standard procedure.

description: Bales of a genetically fine-fibered cotton, 'Acala 1517', were blended at micronaire levels of 3.0, 3.3, 3.9, and 4.4 to make lots for mill processing. Tests were conducted on each lot to determine the fiber properties of raw stock and finisher-drawing sliver, the opening, picking, and carding wastes and nep contents of processed cottons, and the properties of ring and open-end yarns. Variations in the fiber properties of raw stock for the four selected micronaire levels were small. Variations in fiber properties were greater for finisher-drawing sliver than for raw stock, reflecting the different effects that processing has on fibers of varying maturity. The micronaire levels of finisher-drawing sliver were higher than those of corresponding raw stock, apparently a result of breakage and subsequent removal of the low-maturity (low-micronaire) fibers as waste during processing. From a practical standpoint, opening, picking, and carding wastes were similar for the four micronaire levels, although the waste level was significantly lower for the 3.3-micronaire, cotton. Card neps were highest for the 3.0-micronaire cotton and lowest for the 4.4-micronaire cotton. The effects of micronaire level on processing and yarn quality were more pronounced for the ring yarns than for the open-end yarns. For the ring yarns, as micronaire level increased, spinning end breakage increased, strength decreased, elongation decreased, evenness remained the same, wet-processing losses decreased, and dyeing quality improved. With the exception of dyeing quality and wet-processing losses, the performances of the 3.0- and 3.3-micronaire cottons were equal or superior to those of the cottons inside the premium micronaire range (3.5 to 4.9). Therefore, cottons with micronaire levels outside the premium range may perform equally as well as those inside the premium range. In this study, differences in micronaire levels inside the premium micronaire range caused significant differences in processing and yarn quality.

The latter is known to produce in flat spacetime a QCD-like confinement. Inclusion of gravity triggers various physically interesting effects: new mechanism for dynamical generation of cosmological constant; non-standard black hole solutions with constant vacuum electric field and with "hedge-hog"-type spacetime asymptotics, which are shown to obey the first law of black hole thermodynamics; new "tubelike" solutions of Levi-Civita-Bertotti-Robinson type; charge-"hiding" and charge-confining "thin-shell" wormhole solutions; dynamical effective gauge couplings and confinement-deconfinement transition effect when coupled to quadratic R^2-gravity.

description: Several combinations of harvesting, ginning, and mill-cleaning practices were applied to cottons from the Midsouth, Southeast, and West Texas growth areas. The Midsouth and Southeast cottons were harvested before and after frost, and the West Texas cotton was harvested after frost only. Fiber-quality data on finisher-drawing sliver for the Midsouth and Southeast cottons indicated that removal of trash at the card, rather than in an earlier stage of processing, resulted in less fiber damage. No overall conclusions were possible concerning the effect of time of harvest on yarn quality. Some of the yarn-quality characteristics of the Midsouth cotton were better for the harvest before frost, and some were better for the harvest after frost. However, the yarn quality of the Southeast cotton was consistently better for the earlier cotton harvest. Spinning production rates reflected the level of yarn quality. There was little difference in the production rates of the before- and after-frost harvests for the Midsouth cotton, but the production rates for the earlier harvest of the Southeast cotton were higher than those for the later harvest. Generally, high production rates and yarn qualities were achieved with minimum cleaning at both the gin and mill.

description: BACKGROUND: Patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models involve the engraftment of tumour tissue in immunocompromised mice and represent an important pre-clinical oncology research method. A limitation of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) PDX model derivation in NOD-scid IL2Rgammanull (NSG) mice is that a subset of initial engraftments are of lymphocytic, rather than tumour origin. METHODS: The immunophenotype of lymphoproliferations arising in the lung TRACERx PDX pipeline were characterised. To present the histology data herein, we developed a Python-based tool for generating patient-level pathology overview figures from whole-slide image files; PATHOverview is available on GitHub (https://github.com/EpiCENTR-Lab/PATHOverview). RESULTS: Lymphoproliferations occurred in 17.8% of lung adenocarcinoma and 10% of lung squamous cell carcinoma transplantations, despite none of these patients having a prior or subsequent clinical history of lymphoproliferative disease. Lymphoproliferations were predominantly human CD20+ B cells and had the immunophenotype expected for post-transplantation diffuse large B cell lymphoma with plasma cell features. All lymphoproliferations expressed Epstein-Barr-encoded RNAs (EBER). Analysis of immunoglobulin light chain gene rearrangements in three tumours where multiple tumour regions had resulted in lymphoproliferations suggested that each had independent clonal origins. DISCUSSION: Overall, these data suggest that B cell clones with lymphoproliferative potential are present within primary NSCLC tumours, and that these are under continuous immune surveillance. Since these cells can be expanded following transplantation into NSG mice, our data highlight the value of quality control measures to identify lymphoproliferations within xenograft pipelines and support the incorporation of strategies to minimise lymphoproliferations during the early stages of xenograft establishment pipelines.

description: In this paper, we propose a linear precoder for the downlink of a multi-user MIMO system with multiple users that potentially act as eavesdroppers. The proposed precoder is based on regularized channel inversion (RCI) with a regularization parameter $α$ and power allocation vector chosen in such a way that the achievable secrecy sum-rate is maximized. We consider the worst-case scenario for the multi-user MIMO system, where the transmitter assumes users cooperate to eavesdrop on other users. We derive the achievable secrecy sum-rate and obtain the closed-form expression for the optimal regularization parameter $α_{\mathrm{LS}}$ of the precoder using large-system analysis. We show that the RCI precoder with $α_{\mathrm{LS}}$ outperforms several other linear precoding schemes, and it achieves a secrecy sum-rate that has same scaling factor as the sum-rate achieved by the optimum RCI precoder without secrecy requirements. We propose a power allocation algorithm to maximize the secrecy sum-rate for fixed $α$. We then extend our algorithm to maximize the secrecy sum-rate by jointly optimizing $α$ and the power allocation vector. The jointly optimized precoder outperforms RCI with $α_{\mathrm{LS}}$ and equal power allocation by up to 20 percent at practical values of the signal-to-noise ratio and for 4 users and 4 transmit antennas.

description: Heterostructured material systems devoid of ferroic components are presumed not to display ordering associated with ferroelectricity. In heterostructures composed of transition metal oxides, however, the disruption introduced by an interface can affect the balance of the competing interactions among electronic spins, charges and orbitals. This has led to the emergence of properties absent in the original building blocks of a heterostructure, including metallicity, magnetism and superconductivity. Here we report the discovery of ferroelectricity in artificial tri-layer superlattices consisting solely of non-ferroelectric NdMnO3/SrMnO3/LaMnO3 layers. Ferroelectricity was observed below 40 K exhibiting strong tunability by superlattice periodicity. Furthermore, magnetoelectric coupling resulted in 150% magnetic modulation of the polarization. Density functional calculations indicate that broken space inversion symmetry and mixed valency, because of cationic asymmetry and interfacial polar discontinuity, respectively, give rise to the observed behavior. Our results demonstrate the engineering of asymmetric layered structures with emergent ferroelectric and magnetic field tunable functions distinct from that of normal devices, for which the components are typically ferroelectrics.

description: The entry into New Jerusalem, celebrated annually on December 12, symbolizes the union of the earthly and the heavenly, as well as the past and the future, which became the Day of the Lord, having no end. On December 12, 2018, Andrej Poleev became the first citizen of the New Jerusalem, named the Community Rus’. This event, predicted in the Revelation of John, happened on the Third Day, that is, at the beginning of the Third Millennium from the first appearance of Jesus Christ, and resembling His entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday in the year 33. The Kingdom of Heaven, which was then not of this world, now and forever becomes earthly and true in the City of God.
Interplay of charge and heat transport in a nano-junction in the out-of-equilibrium cotunneling regime

description: We study the charge transport and the heat transfer through a nano-junction composed of a small metallic grain weakly coupled to two metallic leads. We focus on the cotunneling regime out-of-equilibrium, where the bias voltage and the temperature gradient between the leads strongly drive electron and phonon degrees of freedom in the grain that in turn have a strong feedback on the transport through the grain. We derive and solve coupled kinetic equations for electron and phonon degrees of freedom in the grain. We obtain the heat fluxes between cotunneling electrons, bosonic electron-hole excitations in the grain, and phonons, and self-consistently find the current-voltage characteristics. We demonstrate that the transport in the nano-junction is very sensitive to the spectrum of the bosonic modes in the grain.

description: In this article, the primary aim is to introduce a new flexible family of circular distributions, namely the wrapped Linnik family which possesses the flexibility to model the inflection points and tail behavior often better than the existing popular flexible symmetric unimodal circular models. The second objective of this article is to obtain a simple and efficient estimator of the index parameter α of symmetric Linnik distribution exploiting the fact that it is preserved in the wrapped Linnik family. This is an interesting problem for highly volatile financial data as has been studied by several authors. Our final aim is to analytically derive the asymptotic distribution of our estimator, not available for other estimator. This estimator is shown to outperform the existing estimator over the range of the parameter for all sample sizes. The proposed wrapped Linnik distribution is applied to some real-life data. A measure of goodness of fit proposed in one of the authors' previous works is used for the above family of distributions. The wrapped Linnik family was found to be preferable as it gave better fit to those data sets rather than the popular von-Mises distribution or the wrapped stable family of distributions.

description: Choosing an appropriate set of stimuli is essential to characterize the response of a sensory system to a particular functional dimension, such as the eye movement following the motion of a visual scene. Here, we describe a framework to generate random texture movies with controlled information content, i.e., Motion Clouds. These stimuli are defined using a generative model that is based on controlled experimental parametrization. We show that Motion Clouds correspond to dense mixing of localized moving gratings with random positions. Their global envelope is similar to natural-like stimulation with an approximate full-field translation corresponding to a retinal slip. We describe the construction of these stimuli mathematically and propose an open-source Python-based implementation. Examples of the use of this framework are shown. We also propose extensions to other modalities such as color vision, touch, and audition.

description: Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been widely recognized as critical players in the development of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), one of the most prevalent liver diseases globally. In this study, we established a HFD-induced NAFLD mouse model and explored the role of lncRNA GAS5 in NAFLD progression and its possible underlying mechanisms. We showed that NAFLD activity score was elevated in the HFD mice. GAS5 knockdown attenuated HFD-induced hepatic steatosis and lipid accumulation and reduced NAFLD activity score in HFD mice. In addition, GAS5 knockdown reduced serum triglyceride cholesterol levels and inhibited alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase activities in HFD mice. Moreover, GAS5 overexpression enhanced NOTCH2 levels in liver cells and promoted NAFLD progression by sponging miR-29a-3p in vivo. Furthermore, miR-29a-3p inhibited NAFLD progression by targeting NOTCH2 in vivo. Overall, our results indicated that GAS5 acts as a sponge of miR-29a-3p to increase NOTCH2 expression and facilitate NAFLD progression by targeting the miR-29a-3p/NOTCH2 axis and demonstrated a new GAS5-mediated mechanism underlying NAFLD development, suggesting that GAS5 could be a potential therapeutic target of NAFLD.

description: The study of the modification of interfacial properties between an organic solvent and aqueous electrolyte solutions is presented by using electrostatic Dissipative Particle Dynamics (DPD) simulations. In this article the parametrization for the DPD repulsive parameters aij for the electrolyte components is calculated considering the dependence of the Flory-Huggins \c{hi} parameter on the concentration and the kind of electrolyte added, by means of the activity coefficients. In turn, experimental data was used to obtain the activity coefficients of the electrolytes as a function of their concentration in order to estimate the \c{hi} parameters and then the aij coefficients. We validate this parametrization through the study of the interfacial tension in a mixture of n-dodecane and water, varying the concentration of different inorganic salts (NaCl, KBr, Na2SO4 and UO2Cl2). The case of HCl in the mixture n-dodecane/water was also analyzed and the results presented. Our simulations reproduce the experimental data in good agreement with previous work, showing that the use of activity coefficients to obtain the repulsive DPD parameters aij as a function of concentration is a good alternative for these kinds of systems.

description: Recent advances in laboratory X-ray computed tomography (XCT) enabled short acquisition times on the order of a few minutes, which enable the investigation of dynamic processes in-situ by time-lapse measurements. These advances open new opportunities for revealing information on the solid-liquid phase transformation occurring in phase changes materials (PCMs), which are a promising solution for designing compact latent thermal energy storage systems (LTES). In this contribution we report results obtained from the XCT System, "LuCi", recently installed at Lucerne university of Applied Sciences and Arts, where the evolution of the melting process in an ice cube confined within a cylindrical, X-ray transparent sample holder is tracked. Our results indicate that even tiny differences of a few percent in the density of the two different phases can be differentiated in XCT measurements. The high-power X-ray source and a fast X-ray detector of LuCi enable the acquisition of a XCT measurement in a short period (< 1 – 6 minutes). By using proper image processing methods, estimates for the volumetric melting rate, the local melting front velocity, and the tree dimensional (3D) shape of the melting front were obtained from the four-dimensional (4D) imaging data. These results will help to build more efficient thermal energy storage systems in the future, which will support the energy turnaround.

description: The activist toolbox contains many different strategies. Among those are highly visible actions, such as protests or strikes. But the toolbox also includes forms of activism that receive less public attention, such as speaking at closed-door meetings or being involved in the day-to-day background work of a campaign. These low visibility contributions are less likely to be captured by an official paper trail. Knowing this is important to avoid writing the contributions of immigrant activists out of the story.

description: Various and different methods can be used to produce high-resolution multispectral images from high-resolution panchromatic image (PAN) and low-resolution multispectral images (MS), mostly on the pixel level. The Quality of image fusion is an essential determinant of the value of processing images fusion for many applications. Spatial and spectral qualities are the two important indexes that used to evaluate the quality of any fused image. However, the jury is still out of fused image's benefits if it compared with its original images. In addition, there is a lack of measures for assessing the objective quality of the spatial resolution for the fusion methods. So, an objective quality of the spatial resolution assessment for fusion images is required. Therefore, this paper describes a new approach proposed to estimate the spatial resolution improve by High Past Division Index (HPDI) upon calculating the spatial-frequency of the edge regions of the image and it deals with a comparison of various analytical techniques for evaluating the Spatial quality, and estimating the colour distortion added by image fusion including: MG, SG, FCC, SD, En, SNR, CC and NRMSE. In addition, this paper devotes to concentrate on the comparison of various image fusion techniques based on pixel and feature fusion technique.
