description: The observation of neutrinoless double-beta decay would resolve the Majorana nature of the neutrino and could provide information on the absolute scale of the neutrino mass. The initial phase of the MAJORANA experiment, known as the DEMONSTRATOR, will house 40 kg of Ge in an ultra-low background shielded environment at the 4850' level of the Sanford Underground Laboratory in Lead, SD. The objective of the DEMONSTRATOR is to determine whether a future 1-tonne experiment can achieve a background goal of one count per tonne-year in a narrow region of interest around the 76Ge neutrinoless double-beta decay peak.

description: This paper examines the problem of computing a canonical smallest covering region for an arbitrary discrete probability distribution. This optimisation problem is similar to the classical 0-1 knapsack problem, but it involves optimisation over a set that may be countably infinite, raising a computational challenge that makes the problem non-trivial. To solve the problem we present theorems giving useful conditions for an optimising region and we develop an iterative one-at-a-time computational method to compute a canonical smallest covering region. We show how this can be programmed in pseudo-code and we examine the performance of our method. We compare this algorithm with other algorithms available in statistical computation packages to compute HDRs. We find that our method is the only one that accurately computes HDRs for arbitrary discrete distributions.

description: In this work, we propose a new approach for discovering various relationships among keywords over the scientific publications based on a Markov Chain model. It is an important problem since keywords are the basic elements for representing abstract objects such as documents, user profiles, topics and many things else. Our model is very effective since it combines four important factors in scientific publications: content, publicity, impact and randomness. Particularly, a recommendation system (called SciRecSys) has been presented to support users to efficiently find out relevant articles.
The Illicit Circulation of Ivorian Collections: Challenges and Prospects
Creators: name: Memel-Kassi, Silvie
Publisher: name: Journal for Art Market Studies
Year: 2020

description: The problematic of the illegal circulation of cultural goods constitutes a major challenge for formerly colonised countries that are already facing difficulties at a number of levels, and notably in preserving their cultural heritage. This illegal circulation, which originates in illegal trafficking, takes advantage of globalisation and the failure to enforce the legal texts pertaining to the protection of cultural heritage. Ivory Coast, whose national museum was pillaged in 2010, is one of the African countries whose works of art feature proudly in the greatest public and private collections. But what is the country’s position in relation to the protection of heritage and what of the measures taken by the State at national and even regional levels? This article sets out to demonstrate how the illegal circulation of Ivorian collections represents a threat to this cultural heritage which today is at the heart of debates on restitution. Rightly viewed as an essential element of national identity, its use must now be subject to strict regulations that take into account the rights and aspirations of the country of origin, as recommended by ECOWAS.

Itinerary of a Cameroon Cross River Collection in Art Market Networks. An Analysis of Transaction Correspondence between Hamburg-Berlin-Leipzig
Creators: name: Fossi, Richard Tsogang
Publisher: name: Journal for Art Market Studies
Year: 2020

description: This contribution aims at following the fortunes of a collection from the Cross River area of Cameroon, which entered market networks in 1908/9. The primary sources are not the objects per se, but a wide range of correspondences that the negotiations about their purchase gave rise to, once in Europe. It is therefore not intended as breakthrough provenance study of the objects as such; rather it hypothesizes in the light of the epistolary exchanges between the different players Mansfeld, Thilenius, Mendelssohn, and Meyer that the fortunes of collected objects in trade networks were linked to a number of actors and factors. It therefore seeks to answer the question of what actually happened to objects from a colonial context once they departed from their places of origin to enter a capitalist system of value? Paired with the study of archival materials, the article is interested specifically in tracking the market routes of “Mansfeld’s collections” until their relocation into a museum. Anatomizing these moments of collections in motion could also help to gain more insight into the reasons that motivated a selection for the collectors/middlemen, favouring one suitable buyer over another; at the same time, it could reveal symbolical changes which could also be linked to the movements of a collection/object.

description: The observation of neutrino less double-beta decay would show that neutrinos are Majorana particles and provide information on neutrino mass. Attaining sensitivities for neutrino masses in the inverted hierarchy region requires large, tonne scale detectors with extremely low backgrounds, at the level of 10-3 counts keV-1 t-1 y-1 or lower in the region of the signal. The MAJORANA collaboration is constructing the DEMONSTRATOR, an array consisting of 40 kg of p-type point contact germanium detectors, at least half of which will be enriched to 86% in 76Ge. The primary aim is to show the feasibility for a future tonne scale measurement. With a sub-keV energy threshold, the array should also be able to search for light WIMP dark matter. This paper presents a brief update on the status of constructing the DEMONSTRATOR including an electroforming facility that is now operating underground at the Sanford Underground Research Facility.

description: Precise control of the chemical valence or oxidation state of vanadium in vanadium oxide thin films is highly desirable for not only fundamental research, but also technological applications that utilize the subtle change in the physical properties originating from the metal- insulator transition (MIT) near room temperature. However, due to the multivalent nature of vanadium and the lack of a good understanding on growth control of the oxidation state, stabilization of phase pure vanadium oxides with a single oxidation state is extremely challenging. Here, we systematically varied the growth conditions to clearly map out the growth window for preparing phase pure epitaxial vanadium oxides by pulsed laser deposition for providing a guideline to grow high quality thin films with well-defined oxidation states of V2(+3)O3, V(+4)O2, and V2(+5)O5. A well pronounced MIT was only observed in VO2 films grown in a very narrow range of oxygen partial pressure P(O2). The films grown either in lower (< 10 mTorr) or higher P(O2) (> 25 mTorr) result in V2O3 and V2O5 phases, respectively, thereby suppressing the MIT for both cases. We have also found that the resistivity ratio before and after the MIT of VO2 thin films can be further enhanced by one order of magnitude when the films are further oxidized by post-annealing at a well-controlled oxidizing ambient. This result indicates that stabilizing vanadium into a single valence state has to compromise with insufficient oxidation of an as grown thin film and, thereby, a subsequent oxidation is required for an improved MIT behavior.

description: Strongly correlated materials often exhibit an electronic phase separation (EPS) phenomena whose domain pattern is random in nature. The ability to control the spatial arrangement of the electronic phases at microscopic scales is highly desirable for tailoring their macroscopic properties and/or designing novel electronic devices. Here we report the formation of EPS nanoscale network in a mono-atomically stacked LaMnO3/CaMnO3/PrMnO3 superlattice grown on SrTiO3 (STO) (001) substrate, which is known to have an antiferromagnetic (AFM) insulating ground state. The EPS nano-network is a consequence of an internal strain relaxation triggered by the structural domain formation of the underlying STO substrate at low temperatures. The same nanoscale network pattern can be reproduced upon temperature cycling allowing us to employ different local imaging techniques to directly compare the magnetic and transport state of a single EPS domain. Our results confirm the one-to-one correspondence between ferromagnetic (AFM) to metallic (insulating) state in manganite. It also represents a significant step in a paradigm shift from passively characterizing EPS in strongly correlated systems to actively engaging in its manipulation.

description: The Majorana Demonstrator is an array of natural and enriched high purity germanium detectors that will search for the neutrinoless double-beta decay of Germanium-76 and perform a search for weakly interacting massive particles with masses below 10 GeV. To reach the background rate goal in the neutrinoless double-beta decay region of interest of 4 counts/keV/t/y, the DEMONSTRATOR will utilize a number of background reduction strategies, including a time-correlated event cut for 68Ge that requires a sub-keV energy threshold. This low energy threshold allows the DEMONSTRATOR to extend its physics reach to include a search for light WIMPs. We will discuss the detector systems and data analysis techniques required to achieve sub-keV thresholds as well as present the projected dark matter sensitivities of the Majorana Demonstrator.

description: Simulation results are presented from a new general circulation model (GCM) of Titan, the Titan Atmospheric Model (TAM), which couples the Flexible Modeling System (FMS) spectral dynamical core to a suite of external/sub-grid-scale physics. These include a new non-gray radiative transfer module that takes advantage of recent data from Cassini-Huygens, large-scale condensation and quasi-equilibrium moist convection schemes, a surface model with "bucket" hydrology, and boundary layer turbulent diffusion. The model produces a realistic temperature structure from the surface to the lower mesosphere, including a stratopause, as well as satisfactory superrotation. The latter is shown to depend on the dynamical core's ability to build up angular momentum from surface torques. Simulated latitudinal temperature contrasts are adequate, compared to observations, and polar temperature anomalies agree with observations. In the lower atmosphere, the insolation distribution is shown to strongly impact turbulent fluxes, and surface heating is maximum at mid-latitudes. Surface liquids are unstable at mid- and low-latitudes, and quickly migrate poleward. The simulated humidity profile and distribution of surface temperatures, compared to observations, corroborate the prevalence of dry conditions at low latitudes. Polar cloud activity is well represented, though the observed mid-latitude clouds remain somewhat puzzling, and some formation alternatives are suggested.

description: Life cycle assessments (LCAs) can provide insights into the environmental impact of production processes. In this study, a comparative LCA was performed for the synthesis of 2’3’-cyclic GMP-AMP (2’3’-cGAMP) in an early development stage. The cyclic dinucleotide (CDN) is of interest for pharmaceutical applications such as cancer immunotherapy. CDNs can be synthesized either by enzymes or chemical catalysis. It is not known which of the routes is more sustainable as both routes have their advantages and disadvantages, such as a poor yield for the chemical synthesis and low titers for the biocatalytic synthesis. The synthesis routes were compared for the production of 200 g 2’3’-cGAMP based on laboratory data to assess the environmental impacts. The biocatalytic synthesis turned out to be superior to the chemical synthesis in all considered categories by at least one magnitude, for example, a global warming potential of 3055.6 kg CO2 equiv. for the enzymatic route and 56454.0 kg CO2 equiv. for the chemical synthesis, which is 18 times higher. This study demonstrates the value of assessment at an early development stage, when the choice between different routes is still possible.

Best practice airway management for bariatric patients and morbid obesity
Creators: name: Abraham, Nikil
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2023

description: PurposeAirway management and assessment are the cornerstones of modern anesthesia practice. Obesity is a well-known risk factor in identifying patients with potentially complicated airways. In addition, morbidly obese patients have clinically significant reductions in functional residual capacity (FRC) that can lead to precipitous decreases in oxygen saturation during periods of apnea. Despite the knowledge of these details, there is a large variation in how anesthesia providers care for these patients. This quality improvement project sought to see if an educational presentation that presented a clinical reference tool via internet access would change how likely anesthesia providers are to use adjuncts with bariatric or morbidly obese patients. Methodology The investigators in this study conducted an educational intervention with a private practice anesthesia group. Investigators enrolled 17 subjects and conducted a pre-test survey. After collecting pre-test data, subjects were introduced to an educational presentation and a clinical reference tool highlighting the benefits of video laryngoscopes, aspiration prophylaxis, and ramped positioning with bariatric patients. This information was distributed via power point as well as made available online continuously at www.rampglideandreglan.com. After the distribution of the educational materials and knowledge sharing of published resources emphasizing the benefits of using adjuncts with bariatric patients. A post-test survey using a 5-point Likert scale was distributed to assess likely hood of using aspiration prophylaxis, ramped positioning, and video laryngoscopes, as well as a qualitative question assessing whether participants found the tool helpful and what improvements they might suggest. ResultsUsing SPSS V28 statistical software, descriptive statistics were run on the pre and post-survey scores, with a mean score of 13.5 vs. 17.6, showing providers' willingness to change their practice. A paired t-test was also conducted since the pre and post-test data was linked. A Wilcoxon signed-rank test showed that the subject's likelihood of using suggested changes in airway management was significant (P<0.05). ImplicationsWhile performing this study, it is evident that the anesthesia providers do not follow a uniform method of airway management while taking care of morbidly obese patients. It is proven that utilization of best practice airway management methods like ramped positioning, video laryngoscopy, and aspiration prophylaxis could decrease the adverse airway events in morbidly obese patients to a certain degree. With statistically significant results, anesthesia providers are willing to use these practices regularly during airway management in morbidly obese patients.

We show that in sufficiently dilute mixtures the system behaves as if it were exposed to two separate heat baths of uneven temperatures. It can be described within a second virial approximation neglecting three body and higher order collisions. In this approximation, we define non-equilibrium "chemical potentials" whose gradients govern diffusion fluxes and a non-equilibrium "osmotic pressure", which governs the mechanical stability of the interface.

Assuring Cyber-Physical Systems in an Age of Rising Autonomy

description: As developers continue to build greater autonomy into cyber-physical systems (CPSs), such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and automobiles, these systems aggregate data from an increasing number of sensors. The systems use this data for control and for otherwise acting in their operational environments. However, more sensors not only create more data and more precise data, but they require a complex architecture to correctly transfer and process multiple data streams. This increase in complexity comes with additional challenges for functional verification and validation (V&V) a greater potential for faults (errors and failures), and a larger attack surface. What’s more, CPSs often cannot distinguish faults from attacks. To address these challenges, researchers from the SEI and Georgia Tech collaborated on an effort to map the problem space and develop proposals for solving the challenges of increasing sensor data in CPSs. This SEI Blog post provides a summary our work, which comprised research threads addressing four subcomponents of the problem: addressing error propagation induced by learning components mapping fault and attack scenarios to the corresponding detection mechanisms defining a security index of the ability to detect tampering based on the monitoring of specific physical parameters determining the impact of clock offset on the precision of reinforcement learning (RL) Later I will describe these research threads, which are part of a larger body of research we call Safety Analysis and Fault Detection Isolation and Recovery (SAFIR) Synthesis for Time-Sensitive Cyber-Physical Systems.

description: A (continuous) necklace is simply an interval of the real line colored measurably with some number of colors. A well-known application of the Borsuk-Ulam theorem asserts that every $k$-colored necklace can be fairly split by at most $k$ cuts (from the resulting pieces one can form two collections, each capturing the same measure of every color). Here we prove that for every $k\geq 1$ there is a measurable $(k+3)$-coloring of the real line such that no interval can be fairly split using at most $k$ cuts. In particular, there is a measurable $4$-coloring of the real line in which no two adjacent intervals have the same measure of every color. An analogous problem for the integers was posed by Erdős in 1961 and solved in the affirmative in 1991 by Keränen. Curiously, in the discrete case the desired coloring also uses four colors.

description: Background: Neutron-induced backgrounds are a significant concern for experiments that require extremely low levels of radioactive backgrounds such as direct dark matter searches and neutrinoless double-β decay experiments. Unmeasured neutron scattering cross sections are often accounted for incorrectly in Monte Carlo simulations.Purpose: The purpose of this article is to determine partial γ-ray production cross sections for (n,xnγ) reactions in natural argon for incident neutron energies between 1 and 30 MeV.Methods: The broad-spectrum neutron beam at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANSCE) was used used for the measurement. Neutron energies were determined using time of flight, and resulting γ rays from neutron-induced reactions were detected using the GErmanium Array for Neutron Induced Excitations (GEANIE).Results: Partial γ-ray cross sections were measured for six excited states in 40Ar and two excited states in 39Ar. Measured (n,xnγ) cross sections were compared to the talys and CoH3 nuclear reaction codes.Conclusions: These new measurements will help to identify potential backgrounds in neutrinoless double-β decay and dark matter experiments that use argon as a detection medium or shielding. The measurements will also aid in the identification of neutron interactions in these experiments through the detection of γ rays produced by (n,xnγ) reactions.

description: We investigate the effects of varying Saturn's orbit on the atmospheric circulation and surface methane distribution of Titan. Using a new general circulation model of Titan's atmosphere, we simulate its climate under four characteristic configurations of orbital parameters that correspond to snapshots over the past 42 kyr, capturing the amplitude range of long-period cyclic variations in eccentricity and longitude of perihelion. The model, which covers pressures from the surface to 0.5 mbar, reproduces the present-day temperature profile and tropospheric superrotation. In all four simulations, the atmosphere efficiently transports methane poleward, drying out the low- and mid-latitudes, indicating that these regions have been desert-like for at least tens of thousands of years. Though circulation patterns are not significantly different, the amount of surface methane that builds up over either pole strongly depends on the insolation distribution; in the present-day, methane builds up preferentially in the north, in agreement with observations, where summer is milder but longer. The same is true, to a lesser extent, for the configuration 14 kyr ago, while the south pole gains more methane in the case for 28 kyr ago, and the system is almost symmetric 42 kyr ago. This confirms the hypothesis that orbital forcing influences the distribution of surface liquids, and that the current observed asymmetry could have been partially or fully reversed in the past. The evolution of the orbital forcing implies that the surface reservoir is transported on timescales of $\sim$30 kyr, in which case the asymmetry reverses with a period of $\sim$125 kyr. Otherwise, the orbital forcing does not produce a net asymmetry over longer timescales, and is not a likely mechanism for generating the observed dichotomy.

description: Arıkan's polar coding technique is based on the idea of synthesizing $n$ channels from the $n$ instances of the physical channel by a simple linear encoding transformation. Each synthesized channel corresponds to a particular input to the encoder. For large $n$, the synthesized channels become either essentially noiseless or almost perfectly noisy, but in total carry as much information as the original $n$ channels. Capacity can therefore be achieved by transmitting messages over the essentially noiseless synthesized channels. Unfortunately, the set of inputs corresponding to reliable synthesized channels is poorly understood, in particular how the set depends on the underlying physical channel. In this work, we present two analytic conditions sufficient to determine if the reliable inputs corresponding to different discrete memoryless channels are aligned or not, i.e. if one set is contained in the other. Understanding the alignment of the polarized sets is important as it is directly related to universality properties of the induced polar codes, which are essential in particular for network coding problems. We demonstrate the performance of our conditions on a few examples for wiretap and broadcast channels. Finally we show that these conditions imply that the simple quantum polar coding scheme of Renes et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 109, 050504 (2012)] requires entanglement assistance for general channels, but also show such assistance to be unnecessary in many cases of interest.

description: Bimanual activities like coffee stirring, which require coordination of dual arms, are common in daily life and intractable to learn by robots. Adopting reinforcement learning to learn these tasks is a promising topic since it enables the robot to explore how dual arms coordinate together to accomplish the same task. However, this field has two main challenges: coordination mechanism and long-horizon task decomposition. Therefore, we propose the Mixline method to learn sub-tasks separately via the online algorithm and then compose them together based on the generated data through the offline algorithm. We constructed a learning environment based on the GPU-accelerated Isaac Gym. In our work, the bimanual robot successfully learned to grasp, hold and lift the spoon and cup, insert them together and stir the coffee. The proposed method has the potential to be extended to other long-horizon bimanual tasks.

description: Oral cancer is the most common malignant tumor in oral and maxillofacial region, of which more than 90% are squamous cell carcinoma. The incidence of oral cancer is on the rise worldwide. The imbalance between the microorganism and its host may lead to the occurrence of oral malignant tumors.Accumulating evidence suggests that the oral microbiota plays an important role in oral cancer, yet the association between oral microbiota and oral cancer has not been studied comprehensively.In this study, metagenomic sequencing was used to compare the microbial composition of the three groups of samples from the oral cancer group, precancerous lesion group, and normal group.

description: Building a 0νβ β experiment with the ability to probe neutrino mass in the inverted hierarchy region requires the combination of a large detector mass sensitive to 0νβ β, on the order of 1-tonne, and unprecedented background levels, on the order of or less than 1 count per year in the 0νβ β signal region. The Majorana Collaboration proposes a design based on using high-purity enriched 76Ge crystals deployed in ultra- low background electroformed Cu cryostats and using modern analysis techniques that should be capable of reaching the required sensitivity while also being scalable to a 1- tonne size. To demonstrate feasibility, the collaboration plans to construct a prototype system, the Majorana Demonstrator, consisting of 30 kg of 86% enriched 76Ge detectors and 30 kg of natural or isotope-76-depleted Ge detectors. We plan to deploy and evaluate two different Ge detector technologies, one based on a p-type configuration and the other on n-type.

description: Magnetic reconnection (MR) is a key physical concept explaining the addition of magnetic flux to the magnetotail and closed flux lines back-motion to the dayside magnetosphere. This scenario elaborated by \citet{dung63}, can explain many aspects of solar wind-magnetosphere interaction processes, including substorms. However, neither the Dungey model nor its numerous modifications were able to explain fully the onset conditions for MR in the tail. In this paper, we introduce new onset conditions for forced MR in the tail. We call our scenario the "windsock memory conditioned ram pressure effect". Our non-flux-transfer associated forcing is introduced by a combination of large-scale windsock motions exhibiting memory effects and solar wind dynamic pressure actions on the nightside magnetopause during northward oriented IMF. Using global MHD GUMICS-4 simulation results, upstream data from WIND, magnetosheath data from Cluster-1 and distant-tail data from the two-probe ARTEMIS mission, we show that the simultaneous occurrence of vertical windsock motions of the magnetotail and enhanced solar wind dynamic pressure introduces strong nightside disturbances, including enhanced electric fields and persistent vertical cross-tail shear flows. These perturbations, associated with a stream interaction region in the solar wind, drive MR in the tail during episodes of northward oriented interplanetary magnetic field (IMF). We detect MR indirectly, observing plasmoids in the tail and ground based signatures of Earthward moving fast flows. We also consider the application to solar system planets and close-in exoplanets, where the proposed scenario can elucidate some new aspects of solar/stellar wind - magnetosphere interactions.

description: This is a manuscript  associating genotypic data to phenotypic data that they may be associated for use in precision agriculture. The information described in this manuscript provides a way that small ruminant producers will identify phenotypic prediction based on association from genotypic data specifically tailored. This will give producers a more specific method to pool their resources towards the production of the type they seek. In this case; fat and protein content; milk yield for use in the dairy goat cheese, milk, ice-cream, etc.

description: We propose a construction of Kähler and non-Kähler Calabi-Yau manifolds by branched double covers of twistor spaces. In this construction we use the twistor spaces of four-manifolds with self-dual conformal structures, with the examples of connected sum of $n$ $\mathbb{P}^{2}$s. We also construct $K3$-fibered Calabi-Yau manifolds from the branched double covers of the blow-ups of the twistor spaces. These manifolds can be used in heterotic string compactifications to four dimensions. We also construct stable and polystable vector bundles. Some classes of these vector bundles can give rise to supersymmetric grand unified models with three generations of quarks and leptons in four dimensions.

description: Although 20 % of the extant mammalians are chiropterans, there are only a few studies about their skull morphology. The aim of this work is to broaden the knowledge in this field by investigating Eidolon helvum skulls and describing their anatomical characters with a particular focus on general shape, sutures, foramina and processes. We study the external surface of the bones and make a detailed description of 6 rostral bones (nasal, premaxilla, maxilla, palatine, lacrimal, jugal), 9 cranial bones (frontal, parietal, interparietal, pterygoid, sphenoid complex, squamosal, petrosal, ectotympanic, occipital complex) and the mandible. We also make a radiographic analysis by taking X-ray images in lateral and dorsoventral direction. Comparisons with other bats like Pteropus lylei and Desmodus rotundus show interspecific variations. So this work helps building a solid basis for further phylogenetic, functional or systematic studies.

description: Elastomers swollen with non-polar fluids show potential as anti-adhesive materials. We study the effect of oil fraction and contact time on the adhesion between swollen spherical probes of PDMS (polydimethylsiloxane) and flat glass surfaces. The PDMS probes are swollen with pre-determined amount of 10 cSt silicone oil to span the range where the PDMS is fluid free (via solvent extraction) up to the limit where it is oil saturated. Probe tack measurements show that adhesion decreases rapidly with an increase in oil fraction. The decrease in adhesion is attributed to excess oil present at the PDMS-air interface. Contact angle measurements and optical microscopy images support this observation. Adhesion also increases with contact time for a given oil fraction. The increase in adhesion with contact time can be interpreted through different competing mechanisms that depend on the oil fraction where the dominant mechanism changes from extracted to fully swollen PDMS. For partially swollen PDMS, we observe that adhesion initially increases because of viscoelastic relaxation and at long times increases because of contact aging. In contrast, adhesion between fully swollen PDMS and glass barely increases over time and is mainly due to capillary forces. While the relaxation of PDMS in contact is well-described by a visco-poroelastic model, we do not see evidence that poroelastic relaxation of the PDMS contributes to an increase of adhesion with glass whether it is partially or fully swollen.
