description: To test the hypothesis that plants could remobilize more nutrients from vegetative organs to fulfill the requirement of grain formation under high planting density, eight maize cultivars with different leaf senescence characters were chosen to study the relationship between stay-green character, nutrient (N, P, K) accumulation, post-silking nutrient remobilization and grain yield under three planting densities (60,000, 75,000, and 90,000 plants per ha) in 2 years. We found that increased plant density aggravated leaf senescence, reduced concentration of N, P and K in all organs, reduced post-silking N, P, K accumulation per ha, increased nutrient remobilized efficiency. Stay-green degree was positively correlated to yield reduction at high planting density (R2 = 0.35, P < 0.01), and negatively correlated to grain yield across planting densities and experimental years. Grain yield reduction at high planting density was negatively correlated to N (R2 = 0.29, P < 0.01), P (R2 = 0.51, P < 0.01), K (R2 = 0.17, P < 0.05) remobilization efficiency. Thus, we conclude that efficient nutrient remobilization is important for achieving higher yield at high planting density. Stay-green too much may not be a favorable trait for high-yield breeding at high planting density.

description: "Recursive Alignment is not a protocol — it is a new epistemic mirror for the future of intelligence."

This paper introduces a foundational realignment of the AI alignment problem: reframing alignment not as a static solution to control, but as a recursive trust flow between evolving human values and non-halting intelligent agents.

Built atop the ontological foundations of Yearning-Based Infinity Mathematics (YBIM), it defines alignment as a recursive epistemic process, driven by deviation awareness, introspective yearning, trust tensors, and non-terminal repair. It replaces static safety constraints with living trust loops, and proposes a shift from rule enforcement to reflective coherence.

We mathematically construct the Recursive Alignment Loop (RAL) and prove the Alignment Stability Theorem (Y-A2), demonstrating the long-term viability of soft convergence and epistemic alignment through recursive feedback.

This work transcends reward maximization and corrigibility — positioning recursive trust and yearning as the fundamental grammar of safe, aligned intelligence — not only on Earth, but for any recursively intelligent civilization.

Recursive Alignment is not how we control intelligence. It is how we teach it to care.

Bronchoscopic lung volume reduction for Emphysema: physiological and radiological correlations
Creators: name: Tenda, Eric Daniel
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2020

description: Introduction: Patient selection in lung volume reduction (LVR) plays a pivotal role in achieving meaningful clinical outcomes. Currently, LVR patients are selected based on three established criteria: heterogeneity index, percentage of low attenuation area (%LAA), and fissure integrity score. Quantitative computed tomography (QCT) has been developed to quantify lung physiological indices at the lobar level and could potentially revolutionise patient selection in LVR procedures. We developed an in-house QCT software, LungSeg, and used its radiological indices for the purposes of this thesis. The aim of this thesis is to discover potential physiological and radiological indices that could serve as predictors for superior LVR outcomes for better patient selection. Methods: This thesis took two studies and analysed them using LungSeg. The first study was the long-term coil study, a randomised controlled study that had the control group crossing over to the treatment arm at 12 months. At 12 months post-procedure the baseline measurements were assessed against the 12-months post-procedural measurements. The second study was the short-term valve study which was another randomised controlled study that compared the primary and secondary endpoints between the control and the valve-treated group at three months post-procedure. Results: In the long-term coil study, we found that the best statistically significant combination of predictors for change in target lobar volume at inspiration was found to be the combination of baseline target LV at inspiration, -950HU EI at inspiration, and TLCabs with a model adjusted R2 of 0.407 (p = 0.0001). In a subsequent multivariate analysis using ≥45% LAA on the -950HU at Inspiration, the R2 of the same prediction model did improve to 0.493 (P-value = 0.002). Meanwhile, the best statistically significant combination of predictors for change in target lobar volume at inspiration following valve treatment was found to be the combination of baseline target LV at inspiration, target lobar fissure integrity and baseline FEV1abs with a model adjusted R2 of 0.193 (p = 0.105). Conclusion: Using QCT, we have improved the proposed patient selection algorithm for LVR procedures based on the best QCT and lung function predictors.
The relative importance of corporate governance attributes: evidence from corporate stakeholders

Publisher: name: Macquarie University

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: This study investigates shareholders’ and directors’ perceptions of the relative importance of corporate governance attributes in their assessments of effective corporate governance in Australia. These attributes are chosen from existing corporate governance literature and current corporate governance requirements in Australia, namely (i) Australian Securities Exchange Principles of Good Corporate Governance (ASX POGCG) and (ii) the Corporate Law Economic Reform Program Act 2004 (CLERP 9). Overall, 230 shareholders and 46 directors participated in this study. The respondents are the members of Australian Shareholders Association (ASA) and Australian Institute of Company Directors (AICD). This study finds that both shareholders and directors perceive CEO duality to be almost twice as important as other attributes, followed by Board composition, Audit committee composition and Provision of non-audit services by the auditor. Shareholders’ and directors’ overall views of factors that constitute effective corporate governance are relatively similar. These findings indicate that directors’ views are broadly aligned to those of shareholders, which might suggest that their interests are also aligned. The study provides several contributions to the literature and practice. Firstly, this study adds another dimension to the existing corporate governance literature by being the first study to compare shareholders’ and directors’ relative preferences for key corporate governance attributes. Secondly, this study provides suggestions to regulatory bodies, such as ASIC and ASX, regarding future amendments to corporate governance requirements. Specifically, it identifies corporate governance attributes that are perceived by both shareholders and directors to be relatively important. Thirdly, this study also makes a contribution in terms of the research method used in this study, in using Adaptive Conjoint Analysis (ACA). The use of this method in the accounting and corporate governance literature will encourage its further use in this discipline, to provide insights into respondents’ relative preferences in situations involving choice.

description: Ground-based Imaging Cherenkov Telescope Arrays observe the Cherenkov radiation emitted in extended atmospheric showers generated by cosmic gamma rays in the TeV regime. The rate of these events is normally overwhelmed by 2-3 orders of magnitude more abundant cosmic rays induced showers. A large fraction of these 'background' events is vetoed at the online trigger level, but a substantial fraction still goes through data acquisition system and is saved for the offline reconstruction. What kind of information those events carry, normally rejected in the analysis? Is there the possibility that an exotic signature is hidden in those data? In the contribution, some science cases, and the problems related to the event reconstruction for the current and future generation of these telescopes will be discussed.

Development of a light-sheet fluorescence microscope employing an ALPAO deformable mirror to achieve video-rate remote refocusing and volumetric imaging.
Creators: name: Wright, Terence George
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2021

description: There are numerous situations in microscopy where it is desirable to remotely refocus a microscope employing a high numerical aperture (NA) objective lens. This thesis describes the characterisation, development and implementation of an Alpao membrane deformable mirror-based system to achieve this goal for a light-sheet fluorescence microscope (LSFM). The Alpao deformable mirror (DM) DM97-15 used is this work has 97 actuators and was sufficiently fast to perform refocus sweeps at 25 Hz and faster. However, a known issue with using Alpao deformable mirrors in open-loop mode is that they exhibit viscoelastic creep and temperature- dependent variations in the mirror response. The effect of visco-elastic creep was reduced by ensuring that the mirror profile was on average constant on timescales shorter than the characteristic time of the visco-elastic creep. The thermal effect was managed by ensuring that the electrical power delivered to the actuators was constant prior to optimisation and use. This was achieved by ensuring that the frequency and amplitude of oscillation of the mirror was constant prior to optimisation, so that it reached a thermal steady state, was approximately constant during optimisation and constant during use. The image-based optimisation procedure employed used an estimate of the Strehl ratio of the optical system calculated from an image of an array of 1 μm diameter holes. The optimisation procedure included optimising the amount of high-NA defocus and the Zernike modes from Noll indices 4 to 24. The system was tested at 26.3 refocus sweeps per second over a refocus range of -50 to 50 μm with a 40x/0.85 air objective and a 40x/0.80 water immersion objective. The air objective enabled a mean Strehl metric of more than 0.6 over a lateral field of view of 200x200 microns and for a refocus range of 45 microns. The water objective achieved a mean Strehl metric of more than 0.6 over a lateral field of view of 200x200 microns over a larger refocus range of 77 microns. The DM-based refocusing system was then incorporated into a LSFM setup. The spatial resolution of the system was characterised using fluorescent beads imaged volumetrically at 26.3 volumes per second. The performance of the system was also demonstrated for imaging fluorescence pollen grain samples.

description: Under the presence of external magnetic fields with cylindrical symmetry, Skyrmion-string defects with arbitrary topological charges are shown to appear in spinor $F = 1$ Bose-Einstein condensates. We show that, depending on the magnetic field boundary condition, the topological spin texture, at the planes perpendicular to the cylindrical axis, can take zero, half integer, or arbitrary values between $-1/2$ and $1/2$. We argue that these are true topological defects since their charge is independent of the spatial location of the singularity and since the total Skyrmion charge is the sum of the individual charges of the defects present. Our findings are obtained by numerically solving the corresponding fully coupled Gross-Pitaevskii equations without any symmetry assumptions. We analyze, both, polar $^{23}$Na and ferromagnetic $^{87}$Rb condensates.

description: Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) holds great promise for antibacterial applications owing to its strong photothermal performance and biocompatibility. Most of its antibacterial explorations have sought enhanced antibacterial potency through designing new hybrid inorganic materials, the relationship between its physiochemical properties and antibacterial activities has yet to be explored. This work is the first to investigate the combination effects of different sized and functionalized MoS2 sheets on their antibacterial activities. The bacterial capture abilities of 3 µm mannosylated, galactosylated, and glucosylated sheets, as well as 300 nm mannosylated sheets, all with similar sugar densities, are compared. Only mannosylated MoS2 sheets are found to agglutinate normal Escherichia coli (E. coli) and large mannosylated MoS2 sheets show the strongest E. coli agglutination. Despite slightly weaker photothermal performance under near-infrared (NIR) laser irradiation, large mannosylated MoS2 sheets exhibit higher antibacterial activity than the smaller sheets. By much stronger specific multivalent binding, large sheets capture E. coli more efficiently and compensate for their reduced photothermal activity. Besides providing a facile approach to eliminate E. coli bacteria, these findings offer valuable guidance for future development of 2D nanomaterial-based antibacterial agents and filter holder materials, where large-functionalized sheets can capture and eliminate bacteria powerfully.

description: We perform a high precision measurement of the static $q\bar{q}$ potential in three-dimensional SU($N$) gauge theory with $N=2,3$ and compare the results to the potential obtained from the effective string theory. In particular, we show that the exponent of the leading order correction in $1/R$ is 4, as predicted, and obtain accurate results for the continuum limits of the string tension and the non-universal boundary coefficient $\bar{b}_2$, including an extensive analysis of all types of systematic uncertainties. We find that the magnitude of $\bar{b}_2$ decreases with increasing $N$, leading to the possibility of a vanishing $\bar{b}_2$ in the large $N$ limit. In the standard form of the effective string theory possible massive modes and the presence of a rigidity term are usually not considered, even though they might give a contribution to the energy levels. To investigate the effect of these terms, we perform a second analysis, including these contributions. We find that the associated expression for the potential also provides a good description of the data. The resulting continuum values for $\bar{b}_2$ are about a factor of 2 smaller than in the standard analysis, due to contaminations from an additional $1/R^4$ term. However, $\bar{b}_2$ shows a similar decrease in magnitude with increasing $N$. In the course of this extended analysis we also obtain continuum results for the masses appearing in the additional terms and we find that they are around twice as large as the square root of the string tension in the continuum and compatible between SU(2) and SU(3) gauge theory. In the follow up papers we will extend our investigations to the large $N$ limit and excited states of the open flux tube.

description: Non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) have gained a definitive place due to their unique antiviral potency, high specificity and low toxicity in antiretroviral combination therapies which are used to treat HIV. To design more specific HIV-1 inhibitors, 218 diverse non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors with their EC50 values were collected. Then, different types of molecular descriptors were calculated. Also, genetic algorithm (GA) and enhanced replacement methods (ERM) were used as the variable selection approaches to choose more relevant features. Based on selected descriptors, a classification support vector machine (SVM) model was constructed to categorize compounds into two groups of active and inactive ones. The most active compound in the set was docked and was used as the input to the Pharmit server to screen the Molport and PubChem libraries by constructing a structure-based pharmacophore model. Shape filters for the protein and ligand as well as Lipinski’s rule of five have been applied to filter out the output of virtual screening from pharmacophore search. Three hundred and thirty-four compounds were finally retrieved from the virtual screening and were fed to the previously constructed SVM model. Among them, the SVM model rendered seven active compounds and they were also analyzed by docking calculations and ADME/Tox parameters.

description: Using two-dimensional hybrid expanding box simulations we study the competition between the continuously driven parallel proton temperature anisotropy and fire hose instabilities in collisionless homogeneous plasmas. For quasi radial ambient magnetic field the expansion drives $T_{\mathrm{p}\|}>T_{\mathrm{p}\perp}$ and the system becomes eventually unstable with respect to the dominant parallel fire hose instability. This instability is generally unable to counteract the induced anisotropization and the system typically becomes unstable with respect to the oblique fire hose instability later on. The oblique instability efficiently reduces the anisotropy and the system rapidly stabilizes while a significant part of the generated electromagnetic fluctuations is damped to protons. As long as the magnetic field is in the quasi radial direction, this evolution repeats itself and the electromagnetic fluctuations accumulate. For sufficiently oblique magnetic field the expansion drives $T_{\mathrm{p}\perp}>T_{\mathrm{p}\|}$ and brings the system to the stable region with respect to the fire hose instabilities.

description: Introduction Soil microplastic (MP) pollution has emerged as a main factor of global change, but its effects on soil nutrient availability and uptake by crops (macro and micronutrients) are largely unknown. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are regulators of nutrient availability and uptake and can interact with soil MP. Materials and Methods Building on previous studies, here we explored in a 50-days pot experiment the influence and interaction of MP fibres (0.4%) and commercial AMF in soil and onion chemistry, that is, in elemental composition of onion shoots and soils (C, N, Ca, Mg, K, P, S, Cu, Fe, Mn and Zn) and micronutrient soil availability (Cu, Fe, Mn and Zn). Results MP had detrimental effects on K, Mg and S, but increased the soil availability of Zn and shoot uptake. AMF inoculation buffered the effects of MP by balancing/enhancing nutrient availability and plant uptake. Particularly, the commercial AMF inoculum remarkably enhanced Mn uptake by onion. Conclusion Our results support the use of AMF to sustainably manage agricultural ecosystems contaminated with MP, buffering and counteracting the effects of MP by balancing nutrient availability and plant uptake.

description: The theoretical understanding of scaling laws of entropies and mutual information has led to substantial advances in the study of correlated states of matter, quantum field theory and gravity. Experimentally measuring von Neumann entropy in quantum many-body systems is challenging, as it requires complete knowledge of the density matrix, which normally requires the implementation of full state reconstruction techniques. Here we measure the von Neumann entropy of spatially extended subsystems in an ultracold atom simulator of one-dimensional quantum field theories. We experimentally verify one of the fundamental properties of equilibrium states of gapped quantum many-body systems—the area law of quantum mutual information. We also study the dependence of mutual information on temperature and on the separation between the subsystems. Our work represents a step towards employing ultracold atom simulators to probe entanglement in quantum field theories.

description: We consider the most general class of linear boundary-value problems for higher-order ordinary differential systems whose solutions and right-hand sides belong to the corresponding Sobolev spaces. For parameter-dependent problems from this class, we obtain a constructive criterion under which their solutions are continuous in the Sobolev space with respect to the parameter. We also obtain a two-sided estimate for the degree of convergence of these solutions to the solution of the nonperturbed problem. These results are applied to a new broad class of parameter-dependent multipoint boundary-value problems.

description: Quantum random sampling is the leading proposal for demonstrating a computational advantage of quantum computers over classical computers. Recently the first large-scale implementations of quantum random sampling have arguably surpassed the boundary of what can be simulated on existing classical hardware. Here the theoretical underpinning of quantum random sampling is comprehensively reviewed in terms of computational complexity and verifiability, as are the practical aspects of its experimental implementation using superconducting and photonic devices and its classical simulation. Open questions in the field are discussed, and perspectives for the road ahead, including potential applications of quantum random sampling, are provided.

description: Abstract

Background: Total thyroidectomy is increasingly used for treating bilateral benign thyroid diseases, but it requires ongoing levothyroxine replacement therapy to prevent hypothyroidism. Heterotopic thyroid auto transplantation was suggested to eliminate this need and preserve the body's thyroxin synthesis. However, limited data exists on this topic. Previous studies on animals have shown successful auto transplantations, but limited clinical trials have used cryopreserved thyroid autografts, with insufficient number of studies and patients, and inconsistent study procedures. Aim and objectives: The purpose is to assess the positioning of thyroid tissue in the thigh muscle following total thyroidectomy for benign simple nodular goiter, with the goal of avoiding the need for lifetime thyroid hormone replacement medication and preserving the autoregulatory mechanism of thyroid hormone production.  Methods: We performed a case series analysis on a group of 30 patients who were diagnosed with multinodular goiter and were being considered for complete thyroidectomy. The patients were randomly assigned to two groups: group A (consisting of 15 patients) who were administered 5 g of healthy non-nodular thyroid tissue, and group B (also consisting of 15 patients) who were administered 10 g of the same tissue. The viability and efficacy of heterotopic auto transplanted thyroid tissue were evaluated using hormonal analysis and ultrasound imaging of the thigh (the location of the transplanted thyroid graft) at 2, 6, and 12 months after the surgery. Results: The study found no significant difference in radioactive iodine uptake between group A and group B, but significant differences in free T3, T4, TSH levels, and pulse after the 2nd, 6th, and 12th months. The processing and injection time range for auto transplanted thyroid tissue was 18-20 minutes, with no immediate or delayed problems. Conclusion: Thyroid auto transplantation involves injecting a suspension of thyroid tissue, resulting in increased thyroid hormone levels. Larger implants absorb isotopes more, but not hormone levels. The process is safe, effective, and efficient, with superior outcomes in younger individuals. The process improves over time.

The role of body posture in perceptions of attractiveness and self-esteem

description: Attractiveness is hypothesised as a mechanism for identifying healthy, fertile mates, with cues from faces and bodies to physiological and psychological health. Little is known about the impact of body posture on attractiveness. Participants (N=108) were photographed twice in profile in their natural and corrected posture, and completed a validated self-esteem questionnaire using three scales from the International Personality Item Pool (IPIP,1992/2017): The Physical Attractiveness (Rational Scale; IPIP, 1992/2017; Goldberg et al.,2006), the Self-esteem scale (IPIP, 1992/2017; Rosenberg, 1965), and the Self-Consciousness (IPIP, 1992/2017; Buss, 1980) scale, In addition, the State Self-Esteem Scale (Heatherton & Polivy, 1991) was administered. In Study 1, a correlational design, 38 observers rated the attractiveness of the natural posture photographs. Those whose natural posture was more upright were perceived as more attractive and higher self-esteem. A mediation analysis ascertained whether posture mediated the relationship between attractiveness and self-esteem, and showed that self-rated self-esteem predicts rated attractiveness and rated self-esteem as well as posture predict perceived self-esteem and attractiveness. The indirect effect of self ratedself-esteem on perceived attractiveness via posture was not significant. In Study 2, an experimental design, 41 observers completed a forced-choice task, choosing upright postureas more attractive and higher self-esteem. However, people who have higher self-esteem do not stand more upright. Therefore, posture is probably not a valid cue to self-esteem. Possible explanations for the perception of upright posture as attractive and high in self-esteem are discussed.

description: We propose a class of Two Higgs Doublet Models where there are Flavour Changing Neutral Currents (FCNC) at tree level, but under control due to the introduction of a discrete symmetry in the full Lagrangian. It is shown that in this class of models, one can have simultaneously FCNC in the up and down sectors, in contrast to the situation encountered in BGL models. The intensity of FCNC is analysed and it is shown that in this class of models one can respect all the strong constraints from experiment without unnatural fine-tuning. It is pointed out that the additional sources of flavour and CP violation are such that they can enhance significantly the generation of the Baryon Asymmetry of the Universe, with respect to the Standard Model.

description: Matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) is a potential target in anticancer drug discovery due to its association with angiogenesis, metastasis and tumour progression. In this study, 67 glutamic acid derivatives, synthesized and evaluated as MMP-2 inhibitors, were taken into account for multi-QSAR modelling study (regression-based 2D-QSAR, classification-based LDA-QSAR, Bayesian classification QSAR, HQSAR, 3D-QSAR CoMFA and CoMSIA as well as Open3DQSAR). All these QSAR studies were statistically validated individually. Regarding the 3D-QSAR analysis, the Open3DQSAR results were better than CoMFA and CoMSIA, although all these 3D-QSAR models supported each other. The importance of biphenylsulphonyl moiety over phenylacetyl/naphthylacetyl moieties was established due to its association with favourable steric and hydrophobic characters. HQSAR, LDA-QSAR and Bayesian classification QSAR studies also suggested that the biphenylsulphonamido group was better than the phenylacetylcarboxamido function. Additionally, glutamines were proven to be far better inhibitors than isoglutamines. Observations obtained from the current study were revalidated and supported by the earlier reported molecular modelling studies. Depending on these observations, newer glutamic acid-based compounds may be designed further in future for potent MMP-2 inhibitory activity.
