description: AIM: To survey the attitudes and perceptions of veterinary paraprofessionals in New Zealand to postoperative pain in dogs and cats.METHODS: In December 2011, veterinary paraprofessionals (VP) from throughout New Zealand were invited to participate in an online survey. Eleven questions, which were divided into five sections, were used to determine demographic information, the respondents’ assessment of pain after commonly performed surgeries in dogs and cats, their opinions on provision of analgesia, who had responsibility for pain monitoring and the use of any formal pain scoring system in the practice.RESULTS: Data from 165 respondents were able to be used, and 162 (98%) respondents to the survey were female. According to the respondents’ estimates, fracture repair in dogs and repair of diaphragmatic hernias in cats had the highest pain score following surgery. Neutering procedures involving dogs were scored higher than for cats (p<0.01). All respondents agreed that animals benefit from perioperative analgesia. The veterinary nurse was reported to be predominantly responsible for monitoring pain in animals postoperatively by 116/165 (70.3%) respondents. Of 165 respondents, 154 (93%) considered that their knowledge of pain and assessment of pain could be enhanced.CONCLUSIONS: This survey reflects the attitudes and perceptions of a sample of VP in New Zealand to postoperative pain in dogs and cats. Theresults indicate that all respondents believe that surgery results in sufficient pain to warrant analgesic therapy. Routine neutering surgeries were considered to be more painful in dogs than in cats. The current survey also provides information to educators on potential areas of focus, given that 93% of respondents felt that their knowledge of pain and assessment of pain could be enhanced.Kongara_Supp_Info.pdf

description: Quantum oscillations (QO) describe the periodic variation of physical observables as a function of inverse magnetic field in metals. The Onsager relation connects the basic QO frequencies with the extremal areas of closed Fermi surface pockets, and the theory of magnetic breakdown explains the observation of sums of QO frequencies at high magnetic fields. Here we develop a quantitative theory of difference frequency QOs in two- and three-dimensional metals with multiple Fermi pockets with parabolic or linearly dispersing excitations. We show that a non-linear interband coupling, e.g. in the form of interband impurity scattering, can give rise to otherwise forbidden QO frequencies which can persist to much higher temperatures compared to the basis frequencies. We discuss the experimental implications of our findings for various material candidates, for example multi-fold fermion systems, and the relation to magneto intersubband oscillations known for coupled two-dimensional electron gases.

description: One of the most important directions in medical practice involves the exploration of protectors and adaptogens to mitigate side effects associated with the use of antitumor and potent medications. The extracts of medicinal plants are actively tested as protectors. In connection with this, the aim of the research was to determine the effectiveness of the protective properties of Silybum marianum extract against the drugs ‘etoposide’ and ‘methotrexate’ at concentrations of 800 μg/kg using the model object Drosophila melanogaster. To analyse the protective properties, the following research methods were applied: determining the lethal concentration, average individual fertility of individuals, mortality of F1 offspring at embryonic stages, SMART (a method for determining the frequency of somatic mutations and recombinations) and assessing the intensity of programmed cell death. The study revealed that a 5% S. marianum extract reduces the genotoxicity of etoposide and exhibits a high cytotoxic effect, both independently and in combination with etoposide and methotrexate.

description: Gaussian correlations emerge in a large class of many-body quantum systems quenched out of equilibrium, as demonstrated in recent experiments on coupled one-dimensional superfluids [Schweigler et al., Nature Physics 17, 559 (2021)]. Here, we present a mechanism by which an initial state of a Rydberg atom array can retain persistent non-Gaussian correlations following a global quench. This mechanism is based on an effective kinetic blockade rooted in the ground state symmetry of the system, which prevents thermalizing dynamics under the quench Hamiltonian. We propose how to observe this effect with Rydberg atom experiments and we demonstrate its resilience against several types of experimental errors. These long-lived non-Gaussian states may have practical applications as quantum memories or stable resources for quantum-information protocols due to the protected non-Gaussianity away from equilibrium.

description: Explainable recommendation is a technique that combines prediction and generation tasks to produce more persuasive results. Among these tasks, textual generation demands large amounts of data to achieve satisfactory accuracy. However, historical user reviews of items are often insufficient, making it challenging to ensure the precision of generated explanation text. To address this issue, we propose a novel model, ERRA (Explainable Recommendation by personalized Review retrieval and Aspect learning). With retrieval enhancement, ERRA can obtain additional information from the training sets. With this additional information, we can generate more accurate and informative explanations. Furthermore, to better capture users' preferences, we incorporate an aspect enhancement component into our model. By selecting the top-n aspects that users are most concerned about for different items, we can model user representation with more relevant details, making the explanation more persuasive. To verify the effectiveness of our model, extensive experiments on three datasets show that our model outperforms state-of-the-art baselines (for example, 3.4% improvement in prediction and 15.8% improvement in explanation for TripAdvisor).

description: Basil (Ocimum basilicum) belongs to the Lamiaceae. It is mostly used for nutrition in Iran, while it also has
numerous pharmaceutical properties. The plant has some aromatic compounds. In order to investigate effects of
density and cultivation method on the amount of extractable essential oil, an experiment was done on green and
purple cultivars in a farm with area around 200m2. Two methods of cultivation were experimented: cultivation in
one row and in two rows. Two types of densities were experimented: 40, 60, 80, 100 plants per m2 based on
factorial design experiment in completely randomized blocks. Significant differences between means values were
determined using multivariate Duncan test at 5% by MSTATC software. Correlation coefficients were calculated
by SPSS software. Data analysis of variance showed that the cultivar has significant influence on the percentage
amount of essential oil and the cultivation method impacts the yield of essential oil. Plant density has significant
influence on the percentage and yield of essential oil. Results showed that the highest percentage and yield of
essential oil was obtained in the cultivation of purple basil in two rows with a density of 40 plants per m2.

description: The purpose of this study was to assess the frequency of optineurin (OPTN) mutation in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients from mainland China, as well as to characterize the relationship between OPTN mutation and clinical phenotypes. We examined the coding region of OPTN in 511 unrelated Chinese sporadic ALS (SALS) subjects and 204 healthy controls using a PCR direct sequencing strategy. Nine OPTN variants were identified, of which four were novel missense mutations: c.407C > T (p.A136V), c.1184A > G (p.K395R), c.1352T > C (p.I451T), and c.1546G > C (p.E516Q) (all heterozygous). The remaining five variants were already present in single nucleotide polymorphism databases. Patients with OPTN mutations were characterized by spinal onset, although they showed differences in disease progression. In conclusion, this study provides a genetic epidemiological characterization of OPTN mutations in Chinese patients, and our results are consistent with the proposition that such mutations are common in Asian populations.

description: Satellite Internet of Things (Sat-IoT) is a novel framework in which satellites integrate sensing, communication and computing capabilities to carry out task-oriented communications. In this paper we propose to use the Long Range (LoRa) modulation for the purpose of estimation in a Sat-IoT scenario. Then we realize that the collisions generated by LoRa can be harnessed in an Over-the-Air Computing (AirComp) framework. Specifically, we propose to use LoRa for Type-based Multiple Access (TBMA), a semantic-aware scheme in which communication resources are assigned to different parameters, not users. Our experimental results show that LoRa-TBMA is suitable as a massive access scheme, provides large gains in terms of mean squared error (MSE) and saves scarce satellite communication resources (i.e., power, latency and bandwidth) with respect to orthogonal multiple access schemes. We also analyze the satellite scenarios that could take advantage of the LoRa-TBMA scheme. In summary, that angular modulations, which are very useful in satellite communications, can also benefit from AirComp.

description: We investigate the production of particle Dark Matter (DM) in a minimal freeze-in model considering a non-instantaneous reheating phase after inflation. We demonstrate that for low reheating temperatures, bosonic or fermionic reheating from monomial potentials can lead to a different evolution in the DM production and hence to distinct predictions for the parent particle lifetime and mass, constrained by long-lived particle (LLP) searches. We highlight that such scenario predicts parent particle decay lengths larger compared to using the instantaneous reheating approximation. Moreover, we demonstrate the importance of an accurate definition of the reheating temperature and emphasize its relevance for the correct interpretation of experimental constraints. We explore different models of inflation, which can lead to the considered reheating potential. We find that the extent to which the standard DM freeze-in production can be modified crucially depends on the underlying inflationary model. Based on the latest CMB constraints, we derive lower limits on the decay length of the parent particle and confront these results with the corresponding reach of LLP searches. Our findings underscore the impact of the specific dynamics of inflation on DM freeze-in production and highlight their importance for the interpretation of collider signatures. At the same time, our results indicate the potential for LLP searches to shed light on the underlying dynamics of reheating.

description: ABSTRACTThe possibility of formation of chalcogen bonds through π-holes is examined by means of ab initio calculations at MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ level. We investigate the complexes of SO3 with a series of electron-donating nitrogen bases (ZN), including NH3, H2C═NH, NH2F, NP, NCH, NCF, NF3, and N2, and their phosphorous analogues (ZP). The ZN:SO3 complexes show shorter chalcogen bond distances than the ZP:SO3 counterparts, accompanied with the more negative interaction energy in the former than in the latter. To understand the nature of interactions, molecular electrostatic potential analysis is performed. In addition, the quantum theory of atoms in molecules and electron localisation function are employed to analyse the chalcogen bond properties in these complexes.

description: Climate change adaptation is gaining traction as a necessary policy alongside mitigation, particularly for developing countries, many of which lack the resources to adapt. However, funding for developing country adaptation remains woefully inadequate. This paper identifies the burden of responsibility that individuals in the UK are willing to incur in support of adaptation projects in developing countries. Results from a nationally representative survey indicate that UK residents are willing to contribute £27 per year (or a median of £6 per year) towards developing country adaptation (US$30 and $7 using the World Bank's purchasing power conversion factors). This represents less than one-third of the back-of-the-envelope $100–$140 per capita per year that the authors estimate would be needed to raise the $70–$100 bn/yr recommended by the World Bank to fund developing country adaptation. Regressions indicate that willingness to pay is driven mostly by a combination of beliefs and perceptions about one's own knowledge levels, rather than actual knowledge of climate change. We conclude that, to engage the many different audiences that make up the ‘public’, communication efforts must move beyond the simple provision of information and instead, connect with people's existing values and beliefs.

description: Two-dimensional (2D) covalent organic framework (COF) membranes featuring well-aligned and programmable vertical nanochannels have emerged as a promising candidate for advanced nanofluidic devices and showcased vast potential in the fields of smart-gating, ion-separation, and energy-harvesting. However, the transverse interlayer nanochannels with a height of sub-nanometer-scale in 2D-COF membranes have scarcely been studied in comparison. Here, we report the ion transport characteristics in 2D interlayer nanochannels of protonated COF membranes. The distinct surface-charge-governed ionic conductance in domination of electrolyte concentration below 10−3 M as well as the exceptional anion/cation (Cl−/K+) selectivity is revealed due to the pronounced charge and nano-confinement effects. Additionally, evident ion current rectification is witnessed when incorporating asymmetric geometry into the system, which is attributed to the dynamic process of ion enrichment and dissipation within the protonated nanochannels. This work offers immense prospects for 2D-COF membranes in the fields of biomimetic nanofluidic devices and cutting-edge electronic devices.

description: We consider Walsh's conformal map from the exterior of a set $E=\bigcup_{j=1}^\ell E_j$ consisting of $\ell$ compact disjoint components onto a lemniscatic domain. In particular, we are interested in the case when $E$ is a polynomial preimage of $[-1,1]$, i.e., when $E=P^{-1}([-1,1])$, where $P$ is an algebraic polynomial of degree $n$. Of special interest are the exponents and the centers of the lemniscatic domain. In the first part of this series of papers, a very simple formula for the exponents has been derived. In this paper, based on general results of the first part, we give an iterative method for computing the centers when $E$ is the union of $\ell$ intervals. Once the centers are known, the corresponding Walsh map can be computed numerically. In addition, if $E$ consists of $\ell=2$ or $\ell=3$ components satisfying certain symmetry relations then the centers and the corresponding Walsh map are given by explicit formulas. All our theorems are illustrated with analytical or numerical examples.

description: WP8 aims at developing proof-of-concept services and data models to complement and extend the EUDAT service offer to fill the gaps in supporting communities Data Life Cycles (DLCs). Part of these gaps have been identified in the initial phase of the work and documented in D8.1 and 5 potential services have been considered to address the needs from the communities (DLC modelling and provenance tracking, directives, dynamic data, semantic services and workflow repositories).
The aim of this deliverable is to present a summary of the different technological approaches that we investigated to support the design of the prototype services and data models identified in D8.1 and implemented in task 8.2 (D8.3, data models) and task 8.4 (D8.4, service design and prototypes).
This document presents the two distinct but related topics of investigation: the existing data models that could support the design of DLC models and a directive language, as well as the existing technologies to support the usage of graph-based data, workflow descriptions, directives, semantic resources and dynamic data.
These descriptions are not meant to be exhaustive but reflect the results of our current state of knowledge. Based on these analyses, we have been able to identify the appropriate technologies and models to start the implementation of the prototype services and the data models.

description: Inspired by macroscale 3D pixel mechanical metamaterials and microscale straw-like carbon nanotube, we propose a design of multi-stable straw-like carbon nanotubes (MSCNT) via optimizing the structure of a unit to obtain multiple stable states under displacement loading by molecular dynamics. The unit of MSCNT is mirror-symmetrically connected two truncated graphene cones with specific apex angles. By switching the LJ term in AIREBO potential, we verify that the bistability of unit is co-determined by snap-through instability and microscale adhesions. Moreover, we examine the validity of the multi-stability of the unit cells arranged in series and in parallels. Simulation results indicate that the MSCNT can achieve mechanical programmability in microscale, which triggers many potential applications in need of customizing nanoscale mechanical behaviors.

Properties and conjectures regarding discrete renewal sequences

subject: 60K05, 32E30

description: In this work we review and derive some elementary properties of the discrete renewal sequences based on a positive, finite and integer-valued random variable. Our results consider these sequences as dependent on the probability masses of the underlying random variable. In particular we study the minima and the maxima of these sequences and prove that they are attained for indices of the sequences smaller or equal than the support of the underlying random variable. Noting that the minimum itself is a minimum of multi-variate polynomials we conjecture that one universal polynomial envelopes the minimum from below and that it is maximal in some sense and largest in another. We prove this conjecture in a special case.

description: The expressiveness of neural networks highly depends on the nature of the activation function, although these are usually assumed predefined and fixed during the training stage. Under a signal processing perspective, in this paper we present Expressive Neural Network (ENN), a novel model in which the non-linear activation functions are modeled using the Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) and adapted using backpropagation during training. This parametrization keeps the number of trainable parameters low, is appropriate for gradient-based schemes, and adapts to different learning tasks. This is the first non-linear model for activation functions that relies on a signal processing perspective, providing high flexibility and expressiveness to the network. We contribute with insights in the explainability of the network at convergence by recovering the concept of bump, this is, the response of each activation function in the output space. Finally, through exhaustive experiments we show that the model can adapt to classification and regression tasks. The performance of ENN outperforms state of the art benchmarks, providing above a 40% gap in accuracy in some scenarios.

Enhancing Quantum Otto Engine Performance in Generalized External Potential on Bose-Einstein Condensation Regime

description: We examine a quantum Otto engine using both Bose-Einstein Condensation (BEC) and normal Bose gas as working medium trapped in generalized external potential. We treated the engine quasi-statically and endoreversibly. Since the expansion and compression in both quasi-static and endoreversible take place isentropic, the expression of efficiency is similar. However, the power output in the quasi-static cycle is zero due to infinite and long stroke time. In contrast, with an endoreversible cycle, thermalization with two reservoirs takes place at a finite time. We use Fourier's law in conduction to formulate the relation between temperature of medium and reservoir, making work depend on heating and cooling stroke time. Moreover, we maximized the power with respect to compression ratio $κ$ to obtain efficiency at maximum power (EMP). We found that EMP is significantly higher when using BEC as a working medium, meanwhile EMP with normal Bose gas is just Curzon-Ahlborn efficiency. We also investigate the effect of thermal contact time $τ$ with hot $(τ_{h})$ and cold $(τ_{l})$ reservoir on EMP. We found that when complete thermalization, $τ_{h}=τ_{l}$, stroke time occurs, there are no significant differences. Nevertheless, while incomplete thermalization arise, by adjusting various cooling and heating stroke time, provides a significant result on EMP, which is much higher at $τ_{h}<τ_{l}$ stroke time whilst lower at $τ_{h}>τ_{l}$ stroke time. We conclude this incomplete thermalization leads to the condition where residual coherence emerges which enhances the EMP of the engine.
