Approximation properties of slice-matching operators
Creators: name: Li, Shiying

Publisher: name: Springer Nature
Year: 2024

description: Iterative slice-matching procedures are efficient schemes for transferring a source measure to a target measure, especially in high dimensions. These schemes have been successfully used in applications such as color transfer and shape retrieval, and are guaranteed to converge under regularity assumptions. In this paper, we explore approximation properties related to a single step of such iterative schemes by examining an associated slice-matching operator, depending on a source measure, a target measure, and slicing directions. In particular, we demonstrate an invariance property with respect to the source measure, an equivariance property with respect to the target measure, and Lipschitz continuity concerning the slicing directions. We furthermore establish error bounds corresponding to approximating the target measure by one step of the slice-matching scheme and characterize situations in which the slice-matching operator recovers the optimal transport map between two measures. We also investigate connections to affine registration problems with respect to (sliced) Wasserstein distances. These connections can be also be viewed as extensions to the invariance and equivariance properties of the slice-matching operator and illustrate the extent to which slice-matching schemes incorporate affine effects.

description: This paper describes a joint Education, Social Services and Health initiative which introduced the Family Links Nurturing Programme in a Sunderland Children's Home. This programme was already established in schools in Sunderland and responses to it were enthusiastic. It appeared to have a lot to offer to children and young people and adults who live and work in the residential care system. We aim to share the process of implementing the programme and also to convey some of the impact on those who took part in it. We hope to highlight the experience of delivering the programme and to document the impressions and reactions of some of the adults and young people involved. Looked after children have often had experiences which make it difficult for them to value themselves or others, while for staff, working in this setting can be challenging and stressful. The primary aim of running the Nurturing Programme was to help the young people and their carers feel nurtured and valued.

description: The purpose of this study is to empirically validate the Family Cultural Wealth Survey (FCWS) by centering Black families with young children by (1) understanding the factor structure of the FCWS; (2) examining differences by income, family structure, and parental education; and (3) exploring the validity of the tool by examining its association with parental experiences of racial discrimination and parent and child well-being. 117 socioeconomically diverse Black families with young children with an average age of 36 years were surveyed: 46% were 200% below the federal poverty level (FPL) and 21% above the 400% FPL, 47% had a B.A. degree or higher, and 75% were in two-parent households. Exploratory factor analyses, correlation, and regression analyses were conducted. Results revealed and confirmed five factors: knowledge and access to resources, supportive network and optimism for challenges, culturally sustaining traditions and practices, spiritual promoting practices, and diverse communication and connection channels. While some differences were found based on income and parental education, there were no differences by family structure. Validation analyses indicated that family cultural wealth was associated with parental experiences of discrimination and parent emotional distress but not child behavioral problems. These findings suggest that the FCWS has adequate psychometrics, making it a potential tool for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers as they ensure that programs and strategies leverage the assets of racially marginalized families.
title: Is knowledge managed strategically in universities in England?
Creators: name: Pither, Jane Margaret Lacey
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2010

description: This study explored the strategic management of knowledge within universities, with particular reference to the resource-based strategy theory of the firm as outlined by Grant (1998). A survey of registrars and university secretaries from English universities yielded data about senior management perspectives on aspects of managing both explicit and tacit knowledge. These data were compared with an initial conceptual model, derived from a review of relevant literature. Document analysis of 'knowledge job' advertisements (and the related job descriptions) placed by universities in two national newspapers over a two-year period produced data that were compared and contrasted with the survey data in order to revise the model. The revised model showed an emphasis on the strategic importance of knowledge held at institutional level, that 'boundary-spanning relationships' are important to universities and that the knowledge held by staff was considered to be less important. Explicit knowledge was found to be managed strategically within universities, whereas tacit knowledge was not. It was confirmed that universities perceived knowledge in differing ways, either as a strategic resource, or as a process or asset. In some cases there was evidence of the perception of knowledge as a social construct. It was concluded that there was no common understanding of managing knowledge strategically in universities.

title: Theorizing technology affordances in digital innovation: evidence from an interactive voice response pilot project for low-income markets in Ghana
Creators: name: Lunberry, Dana De Nyse
Publisher: name: London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE)
Year: 2020

description: This thesis consists of three studies that examine the role and dynamics of technology affordances in digital innovation. Following the work of James J. Gibson (1977, 1986), technology affordances refer to all possible actions corresponding to the materiality of technological artifacts in relationship with humans and the environment (Hutchby 2001). The studies use empirical evidence from the same case study– a pilot project introducing interactive voice response (IVR) with savings clients of a savings and loans company in Ghana in 2017-2018. Each study is distinct in its focus and builds upon different aspects of the concept of affordances within the Information Systems (IS) literature. The first study focuses on the practice and processes of innovating done by innovation leaders (managers). The findings suggest that innovation occurs through patterns which involve innovation leaders’ conceptualizations of technology affordances and their applications. The second study focuses on how an affordance lens can be used to explain IT-associated change, specifically the phenomenon of strategic customer targeting. The findings suggest that the relationships among technologies, humans, and their environments are generating IT-associated changes within an organizational context by enabling strategic customer targeting through patterns of applied affordances in digital innovation. The third study focuses on the relationship between technology and anthropomorphic perceptions among technology users. The findings suggest that affordance-related patterns exist which individually and jointly enable the technology to exhibit human-like qualities within the user-technology interaction. All three studies develop arguments around the logics and consequences of technology affordances: how they are perceived and/or enacted within various technology development and diffusion 9 processes. From the analyses, the research explicates the relationship between digital materiality and digital innovation for an improved understanding of the role of the digital artifact in innovation.

As of September 2023, there were over 70 FDA-approved small molecule kinase inhibitors on the market, 42 of which were approved in the past five years (2018-2023). This minireview discusses recent advances in our understanding of the pharmacology, metabolism, and toxicity profiles of recently approved kinase inhibitors with a central focus on tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). In this minireview we discuss the most common therapeutic indications and molecular target(s) of kinase inhibitors FDA approved 2018-2023. We also describe unique aspects of the metabolism, bioactivation, and drug-drug interaction (DDI) potential of kinase inhibitors; discuss drug toxicity concerns related to kinase inhibitors, such as drug-induced liver injury; and highlight clinical outcomes and challenges relevant to TKI therapy. Case examples are provided for common TKI targets, metabolism pathways, DDI potential, and risks for serious adverse drug reactions. The minireview concludes with a discussion of perspectives on future research to optimize TKI therapy to maximize efficacy and minimize drug toxicity. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: This minireview highlights important aspects of the clinical pharmacology and toxicology of small molecule kinase inhibitors FDA approved 2018-2023. We describe key advances in the therapeutic indications and molecular targets of TKIs. The major metabolism pathways and toxicity profiles of recently approved TKIs are discussed. Clinically relevant case examples are provided that demonstrate the risk for hepatotoxic drug interactions involving TKIs and coadministered drugs.

description: Context. Several authors predicted an outburst of the Draconid meteor shower in 2018, but with an uncertain level of activity. Aims. Optical meteor observations were used to derive the population and mass indices, flux, and radiant positions of Draconid meteors. Methods. 90 minutes of multi-station observations after the predicted peak of activity were performed using highly sensitive Electron Multiplying Charge Coupled Device (EMCCD) cameras. The data calibration is discussed in detail. A novel maximum likelihood estimation method of computing the population and mass index with robust error estimation was developed. We apply the method to observed Draconids and use the values to derive the flux. Meteor trajectories are computed and compared to predicted radiant positions from meteoroid ejection models. Results. We found that the mass index was $1.74 \pm 0.18$ in the 30 minute bin after the predicted peak, and $2.32 \pm 0.27$ in the next 60 minutes. The location and the dispersion of the radiant matches well to modeled values, but there is an offset of $0.4^{\circ}$ in solar longitude.

description: A strong increase of the thermal conductivity is observed at the phase transition (Tc =18.2 K) in Cu2Te2O5Cl2 single crystal. This behavior is compared with that of spin- Peierls system NaV2O5, where similar experimental observation has been found, and the conventional spin-Peierls system CuGeO3, where a modest kink in the thermal conductivity curve has been observed. The strong increase of the thermal conductivity at Tc in Cu2Te2O5Cl2 could be partially attributed to the opening of the energy gap in the magnetic excitation spectrum evident from the magnetic susceptibility measurements. However, the main reason for the anomaly of the thermal conductivity could be explained by a strong spin-lattice coupling in this system, while in NaV2O5 it is a consequence of a charge ordering.

description: Монография посвящена осмыслению феномена пространства в философии и архитектуре. С древнейших времен архитектура и философия существовали всегда параллельно, иногда плотно пересекаясь, а иногда временно отдаляясь. Не претендуя на полное описание и исчерпывающие выводы, в работе была проведена попытка хронологического построения представлений о пространстве как в философских концепциях, так и в теоретических и практических трудах по архитектуре. Начиная с ХХ в., архитекторы максимально овладели философским категориальным аппаратом в описании и осмыслении феномена пространства. Это уникальное соединение двух взглядов проявилось в строительном искусстве в виде архитектурных объектов, истинных шедевров, которые приобрели статус материализовавшихся примеров философских концепций. Предназначена для студентов, преподавателей, широкого круга читателей, интересующихся вопросами архитектуры и философии.

description: In Mexico, vegetable production has proven to be an activity that involves generating high value and incorporating a work force skilled in packaging processes and cutting work. However, for vegetable exports to the United States, following the events of September 11, 2001, gave rise to policy tightening, as in the case of bioterrorism law. This is how the United States has developed protocols that included the requirements for the entry of these products. Such is the case of quality standards, health and safety and social responsibility criteria, involving respect for human rights of farm workers, paying fair wages and the prohibition of child labor. The forms they assume job satisfaction in objective conditions relate to: occupational health and safety, labor, etc. and subjective conditions of workers in the sense of how they live. The aim of this study is to assess job satisfaction in the areas of objective and subjective conditions in order to provide an overview of the situation of this category in greenhouses southern Sonora. A questionnaire rose in a group of five companies, the questionnaire collects elements by the CEMEFI evaluation criteria, and ISO 26000. The findings are that even though there is a regular atmosphere in the objective conditions, in subjective conditions sometimes it is not so. The document consists of six sections: Introduction, overview of protected agriculture in Mexico, the law of bioterrorism; the existing standards of social responsibility; description of the sample and sample design; results and conclusions.

description: Abstract

Strategic salesperson’s quality and customer satisfaction in the hospitality industry was investigated and the specific objectives were to determine the effect of salesperson’s selling experience; salesperson’s adaptive selling, and salesperson’s relationship selling skills on customer satisfaction. The study comprises customers who patronize ethnic restaurants that offer local cuisines in Enugu metropolis whose population is infinite. Cochran’s sample size determination formula was adopted and 384 was realized. The survey method was adopted and in selecting the respondents, convenience sampling technique was adopted in which copies of structured questionnaires were distributed to 384 respondents who adequately filled and returned 281 of them. Cronbach’s Alpha was used to determine the study’s reliability and 0.896 was obtained after a pilot study was conducted by distributing 30 copies of questionnaire to the respondents. Analysis of data was conducted using simple linear regression and the findings revealed that selling experience has a significant positive effect on customer satisfaction. Similarly, it was revealed that adaptive selling has a significant positive effect on customer satisfaction. Finally, it was revealed that relationship selling has a significant positive effect on customer satisfaction. Thus, these independent constructs have proven to be very effective in ensuring customer satisfaction. Hence, the sales managers are encouraged to keep on recruiting salespersons with the requisite skills needed to achieving customer satisfaction and long-lasting relationships.

description: In this paper, the well-posedness and optimal convergence rates of subsonic irrotational flows through a three dimensional infinitely long nozzle with a smooth obstacle inside are established. More precisely, the global existence and uniqueness of the uniformly subsonic flow are obtained via variational formulation as long as the incoming mass flux is less than a critical value. Furthermore, with the aid of delicate choice of weight functions, we prove the optimal convergence rates of the flow at far fields via weighted energy estimates and Nash-Moser iteration.

description: A search for previously undetected optically thin disks around stars in the nearby, young, TW Hydrae Association was conducted around sixteen stars with sensitive 12 and 18 micron photometry. The survey could detect Zodiacal-like dust, with temperature 200-300 K, at levels of L(IR)/L(*)=7e-3. Possible mid-infrared excess emission from TWA 17 was detected at the 2-sigma level, but none of the other stars showed evidence for circumstellar dust. The rapid disappearance of large amounts of dust around the K and M-type stars in this sample may mean that any planet formation in the terrestrial planet region was completed very quickly. There appears to be a bi-modal distribution of dust disks in TWA with stars having either copious or negligible warm dust.

description: The formation of new methods of business organization brings with it a need for change which requires companies to recognize and accept the needs of competitive development has therefore proposed that the formation of cluster is part of these new organizational forms in agriculture in the municipality of Angostura, Sinaloa; allowing it to be another factor of innovation and competitiveness come to support the fisheries sector in the municipality. Companies require growth opportunities as well as some administrative tools for development, so recognizing that most of the companies in Mexico are micro, small and medium businesses that need elements for growth; It is where the proposal for the formation of clusters between companies in the agricultural sector as a support tool for development, forming teams to participate actively in the market, being the smaller companies the main contributing their production is the growth of our country. This research, aims to detect the problems of work, competitiveness, innovation, business development and technological development, small group of companies in the municipality of Angostura, Sinaloa, where the agricultural sector are cared where participating farmers and companies engaged in activities related to agriculture. Based on the data obtained from field data, it has concluded that the formation of agricultural cluster in the town of Angostura, Sinaloa; feasible, because the entrepreneurs said that if the forward to working with this type of organization, because it will allow in a given better growth and business development time and be more competitive in the market. A cluster is to change the way of work and organization of companies, but would benefit all those involved in reducing production costs and marketing products. A cluster is a tool of administrative organization, which benefits employers by teamwork and collaborative in companies belonging to the same territory or location and have in common an economic activity that differentiates them from other organizations.

description: Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a complex, life-threatening genetic disease that has witnessed a profound transformation in the treatment landscape over the past decade (Oliver et al., 2023). Historically, the disease has been managed through symptomatic treatments, but the development of highly effective CFTR modulators therapies has launched a new era targeting the fundamental cause of the disease – the defective CFTR protein. However, despite significant therapeutic advancements, ongoing challenges highlight the need for continued research and personalized approaches.

description: BACKGROUND: The population of people living with dementia (PLwD) continues to grow in Japan where advance care planning (ACP) for PLwD is relatively new. Our aim was to evaluate the feasibility and cultural acceptability of a dementia-specific ACP communication skills toolkit for Japanese primary care clinicians.
METHODS: We delivered 13 training sessions in primary care clinics across central Japan and conducted a post-training survey to assess whether the toolkit increased confidence in dementia-specific ACP communication skills and the acceptability of the toolkit with the following four statements: (1) The language in the sessions was clear, (2) The sessions took an appropriate amount of time to complete, (3) The design of the sessions was an effective educational method, and (4) The sessions were culturally appropriate for communication with Japanese patients with dementia and their family members. We asked participants to respond using a 5-point Likert scale from strongly agree to strongly disagree.
RESULTS: All participants were Japanese and included 80 physicians (mean age 39.8 years), 33 nurses (mean age 45.7 years), and 58 other participants (mean age 42.9 years), who were 30.0%, 87.9%, and 55.2% female, respectively. Most participants practiced in rural settings. In pre- post-comparisons, participant confidence increased in determining capacity, understanding dementia prognosis, goals of care, eliciting surrogates, recommending self-care practices to families, and leading family meetings (all p < 0.001). Most participants strongly agreed or agreed that the toolkit was an effective method (96.9%), took an appropriate amount of time (94.5%), contained clear language (89.8%), and was culturally appropriate (73.6%).
CONCLUSIONS: Dementia-specific ACP communication skills toolkit can be delivered in Japan. Japanese primary care clinicians generally felt the dementia-specific ACP toolkit increased their confidence in ACP communication skills and was acceptable. The language, time, and design were well received, though further work is needed to improve the cultural appropriateness of the toolkit.

description: Increasing global population and demand for food have led to rising agricultural production and demand for land; expanded agricultural land has often come from tropical deforestation. These forests support biodiverse ecosystems and further benefit the environment through carbon storage. This report analyzes patterns of deforestation in select countries to examine which commodities contribute most to “tropical” deforestation. ERS researchers use historical data on production and international trade patterns of four forest-risk commodities: palm oil, soybeans, beef, and forest products. Trade links for these commodities are quantified between the United States and six major exporting countries: Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, Bolivia, Indonesia, and Malaysia. Deforestation in Argentina and Brazil is linked with production of beef and soybeans, while deforestation in Indonesia and Malaysia is linked with production of palm oil and timber. A global economic model is used to assess two potential policies that could affect tropical forest loss. Results indicate that removing tariffs on these forest-risk products could increase deforestation, while prohibiting exports of illegally logged wood could reduce deforestation.

description: In this work we report the discovery of 2 new stellar associations in close vicinity of the Sun at roughly 180 and 150 pc. These two associations, named as u Tau assoc and e Tau assoc, were detected based on their clustering in a multi-dimensional parameter space including $α$, $δ$, $μ_α$ , $μ_δ$ and $π$ of Gaia. The fitting of pre-main-sequence model isochrones in their color-magnitude diagrams suggests that the two associations are of about 50 Myr old and the group members lower than ${\sim}$0.8 $M_{\odot}$ are at the stage of post-T Tauri.

description: Five new objects with proper motions between 1.0 arcsec/yr and 2.6 arcsec/yr have been discovered via a new RECONS search for high proper motion stars utilizing the SuperCOSMOS Sky Survey. The first portion of the search, discussed here, is centered on the south celestial pole and covers declinations -90 degrees to -57.5 degrees. Photographic photometry from SuperCOSMOS and JHKs near-infrared photometry from 2MASS for stars nearer than 10 pc are combined to provide a suite of new M_Ks-color relations useful for estimating distances to main sequence stars. These relations are then used to derive distances to the new proper motion objects as well as previously known stars with mu >= 1.0 arcsec/yr (many of which have no trigonometric parallaxes) recovered during this phase of the survey. Four of the five new stars have red dwarf colors, while one is a nearby white dwarf. Two of the red dwarfs are likely to be within the RECONS 10 pc sample, and the white dwarf probably lies between 15 and 25 pc. Among the 23 known stars recovered during the search, there are three additional candidates for the RECONS sample that have no trigonometric parallaxes.

description: A interação Universidade-Sociedade pode ser encarada, aliada à pesquisa e à docência, como uma das principais atividades das escolas de nível superior. O Prêmio Gestão Pública e Cidadania (GPC), concedido pela Fundação Getúlio Vargas, busca tal relacionamento com as comunidades envolvidas, ao julgar, avaliar e premiar iniciativas de desenvolvimento local. Objetivou-se, principalmente, neste artigo, realizar uma análise georreferenciada do Prêmio GPC, apresentando ao leitor as principais características dos projetos de desenvolvimento que foram avaliados como: área de atuação, abrangência, público alvo, etc. A análise diz respeito aos anos de 2005 e 2006. Ao contrário do esperado, nos resultados mostrou-se que as regiões mais carentes do país são, também, as que apresentam menor quantidade de projetos em distintas áreas de atuação. ----- The university-society interaction, allied to research and teaching, may be seen as one of the main activities of schools of higher education. The Public Management and Citizenship Award (GPC) granted by Fundação Getúlio Vargas seeks such a relationship with the communities involved, when judging, evaluating and awarding local development initiatives. The main objective of this paper is to performe a georeference analysis of the GPC Award, presenting the reader with the main features of the development projects which were assessed as: field of activity, scope, target audience, among others. The analysis concerns the years of 2005 and 2006. Contrary to expectations, the results showed that the poorest geographic regions of the country were also the ones presenting the lowest number of projects in many fields.
Range-Doppler Sidelobe Suppression for Pulsed Radar Based on Golay Complementary Codes

description: To relieve the interference caused by range-Doppler sidelobes in pulsed radars, we propose a new method to construct Doppler resilient complementary waveforms based on Golay codes. We design both the transmit pulse train and the receive pulse weights, so that the similarity between the pulse weights and a given window function is maximized and the constraints on Doppler null points and energy are met. That is summarized as a two-way partitioning problem, and then solved by semidefinite programming and randomization techniques. The novel waveform thus obtained has its range sidelobe outright suppressed in multiple and flexibly-adjustable Doppler zones, and performs well in Doppler sidelobe suppression, Doppler resolution and SNR. It shows great promise in detecting slightly-moving weak targets with the existence of dense interference.

description: Importance: The link between familial loss of a loved one and long-term health decline is complex and not fully understood.
Objective: To test associations of losing a parent, sibling, child, or partner or spouse with accelerated biological aging.
Design, Setting, and Participants: Data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health, a US population-based longitudinal cohort study, were analyzed. Participants were enrolled from 1994 to 1995 for wave 1, while in grades 7 to 12, and followed up through wave 5 in 2018. The study analyzed participant reports of loss collected at each wave from 1 to 5 over 24 years and used a banked wave 5 blood sample for subsequent DNA methylation testing and epigenetic clock calculation from 2018 to 2024. Data were analyzed from January 2022 to July 2024.
Exposure: Loss of biological parents or parental figures, partners or spouses, siblings, or children at waves 1 to 3 or during childhood, adolescence (aged <18 years), or adulthood at wave 4 to wave 5 (aged 18-43 years).
Main Outcomes and Measures: Biological aging assessed from blood DNA methylation using the Horvath, PhenoAge, GrimAge, and DunedinPACE epigenetic clocks at wave 5.
Results: Data from 3963 participants were analyzed, with a weighted mean (range) age of 38.36 (36.78-39.78) years at wave 5; 2370 (50.3%) were male, 720 (15.97%) were Black, 400 (8.18%) were Hispanic, and 2642 (72.53%) were White. Nearly 40% of participants experienced loss by wave 5 when they were aged 33 to 43 years, and participants who were Black (379 participants [56.67%]), Hispanic (152 participants [41.38%]), and American Indian (18 participants [56.08%]) experienced a greater proportion of losses compared with White participants (884 participants [34.09%]). Those who experienced 2 or more losses tended to have older biological ages for several of the clocks (PhenoAge β = 0.15; 95% CI, 0.02 to 0.28; GrimAge β = 0.27; 95% CI, 0.09 to 0.45; DunedinPACE β = 0.22; 95% CI, 0.10 to 0.34) compared with those with no losses. In contrast, there were no associations with 2 or more losses for the Horvath clock (β = -0.08; 95% CI, -0.23 to 0.06).
Conclusions and Relevance: This study reveals associations between various measures of loss experienced from childhood to adulthood and biological aging in a diverse sample of the US population. These findings underscore the potentially enduring impact of loss on biological aging even before middle age and may contribute to understanding racial and ethnic disparities in health and mortality.
Compliance in the single market

description: This article focuses on the barriers faced by firms due to non-compliance with European law. Although there is an extensive literature on non-compliance in the European Union, there has not been any systematic assessment of the barriers faced by firms in trying to market their products across different national boundaries. We draw on a comprehensive database of over 2000 cases of business complaints about regulatory and administrative barriers encountered in the single market. Our empirical findings survey the range and type of barriers that affect different industrial sectors, the variation in compliance with European law among member states, and the different solutions used to address business complaints about the functioning of the single market. The data shows that firms continue to face considerable challenges in operating the single market, and that there are still trade and growth dividends to be harnessed from addressing the remaining barriers to trade.
