description: Ο ιός της Ηπατίτιδας Ε προκαλεί ανησυχία για την δημόσια υγεία παγκοσμίως, ιδιαίτερα σε ομάδες ανοσοκατεσταλμένων ανθρώπων, όπως οι άνθρωποι που ζουν με τον ιό του HIV. Η λοίμωξη από τον ιό της Ηπατίτιδας Ε αποτελεί μια νόσο με τροφιμογενή προέλευση, η οποία σχετίζεται με καταστάσεις πτωχής υγιεινής και κατανάλωση μολυσμένου νερού και τροφής. Στον γενικό πληθυσμό, η νόσος φαίνεται να είναι ασυμπτωματική ή να παρουσιάζει ήπια συμπτώματα αν και σπανίως μπορεί να εκδηλωθούν και σοβαρές κλινικές επιπλοκές. Σύμφωνα με τον Παγκόσμιο Οργανισμό Υγείας εκτιμάται πως ο ιός της Ηπατίτιδας Ε προκαλεί 20 εκατομμύρια νέες μολύνσεις, από τις οποίες οι 3.3 εκατομμύρια εξελίσσονται σε οξείες λοιμώξεις Ηπατίτιδας Ε, οδηγώντας σε 44.000 θανάτους ετησίως. Στον αντίποδα, εκτιμάται πως περισσότερα από 1.3 εκατομμύρια ανθρώπων διαγνώστηκαν με τον ιό HIV-1 μέσα στο 2022 και οι θάνατοι που σχετίζονται με την λοίμωξη ανήλθαν στους 630.000. Η λοίμωξη από τον HEV σε ανοσοκατεσταλμένους ανθρώπους φαίνεται να ευθύνεται για χρόνιες παθολογικές καταστάσεις και κιρρώσεις ήπατος, ωστόσο λίγα δεδομένα είναι διαθέσιμα σχετικά με την συνλοίμωξη HEV/HIV-1. Υπολογίζεται ωστόσο πως η HEV λοίμωξη είναι υπεύθυνη για ένα μεγάλο ποσοστό των χρόνιων λοιμώξεων ήπατος σε άτομα με ανοσοκαταστολή ενώ υπάρχει θνησιμότητα της τάξης του 8.7% σε ανθρώπους που ζουν με τον HIV. Η διερεύνηση της λοίμωξης με τον ιό της Ηπατίτιδας Ε και οι επιπτώσεις της στα άτομα που ζουν με τον ιό του HIV αποτελούν αντικείμενο έρευνας καθώς τα διαθέσιμα δεδομένα είναι περιορισμένα χωρίς να γίνεται ξεκάθαρο πως ο ένας ιός μπορεί να επηρεάσει τον κύκλο ζωής του άλλου. Στην παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία παρουσιάζονται δεδομένα που αφορούν τον επιπολασμό των antiHEV - IgG αντισωμάτων σε HIV θετικά άτομα. Συγκεκριμένα από τα 257 δείγματα που είχαν διαγνωστεί θετικά στον ιό του HIV-1 κατά τη διάρκεια του έτους 2022 στο Εθνικό Κέντρο Αναφοράς AIDS Ν. Ελλάδος, στα 11 (4.3%) ανιχνευτήκαν αντισώματα antiHEV - IgG. Τα αποτελέσματα της παρούσας εργασίας συμφωνούν με τα μέχρι τώρα δημοσιευμένα, ευρωπαϊκά και ελληνικά επιδημιολογικά δεδομένα που αφορούν στην HEV λοίμωξη σε άτομα που ζουν με τον ιό του HIV.

description: If the parameter $tan β$ of the minimal supersymmetric model is large, then $b$ and $τ$ Yukawa interactions are important. These can significantly modify the masses and decays of sparticles. We describe new calculations which allow a reliable exploration of large $tan β$ values, and discuss implications for collider experiments. For large values of $tan β$, charginos and neutralinos may dominantly decay to $τ$-leptons or $b$-quarks. The usual cross sections for multilepton signatures may be greatly reduced, but SUSY may be detectable via new signals involving $τ$'s or $b$'s in the final state.

description: In experiments conducted recently at MIT on Na Bose-Einstein condensates [S. Inouye et al, Nature 392, 151 (1998); J. Stenger et al, Phys. Rev. Lett. 82, 2422 (1999)], large loss rates were observed when a time-varying magnetic field was used to tune a molecular Feshbach resonance state near the state of a pair of atoms in the condensate. A collisional deactivation mechanism affecting a temporarily formed molecular condensate [see V. A. Yurovsky, A. Ben-Reuven, P. S. Julienne and C. J. Williams, Phys. Rev. A 60, R765 (1999)], studied here in more detail, accounts for the results of the slow-sweep experiments. A best fit to the MIT data yields a rate coefficient for deactivating atom-molecule collisions of 1.6e-10 cm**3/s. In the case of the fast sweep experiment, a study is carried out of the combined effect of two competing mechanisms, the three-atom (atom-molecule) or four-atom (molecule-molecule) collisional deactivation vs. a process of two-atom trap-state excitation by curve crossing [F. H. Mies, P. S. Julienne, and E. Tiesinga, Phys. Rev. A 61, 022721 (2000)]. It is shown that both mechanisms contribute to the loss comparably and nonadditively.

description: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder and characterized by brain cell death, memory loss and is the most common form of dementia. Although AD has devastating effects, however, drugs which can treat the AD remain limited. The cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (CDK5) has been recognized as being involved in the pathological hyperphosphorylation of tau protein, which leads to the formation of neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs). We utilized the structure-based virtual screening (SBVS) approach to find the potential inhibitors against HsCDK5. The natural compound subset from the ZINC database (n = 167,741) was retrieved and screened by using SBVS method. From here, we have predicted 297 potent inhibitors. These 297 compounds were evaluated through their pharmacokinetic properties by ADMET (absorption, distribution, metabolism, elimination/excretion and toxicity) descriptors. Finally, 17 compounds were selected and used for re-docking. After the refinement by molecular docking and by using drug-likeness analysis, we have identified four potential inhibitors (ZINC85877721, ZINC96114862, ZINC96115616 and ZINC96116231). All these four ligands were employed for 100 ns MDS study. From the root mean square deviation (RMSD), root mean square fluctuation (RMSF), Rg, number of hydrogen bonds, solvent accessible surface area (SASA), principal component analysis (PCA) and binding free energy analysis we have found that out of four inhibitors ZINC85877721 and ZINC96116231 showed good binding free energy of −198.84 and −159.32 kJ.mol−1, respectively, and also good in other structural analyses. Both compounds displayed excellent pharmacological and structural properties to be the drug candidates. Collectively, these findings recommend that two compounds have great potential to be a promising agent against AD to reduce the CDK5 induced hyperphosphorylation and could be considered as therapeutic agents for the AD.

Ogden’s Basic English and its roots in the Early Modern English search for language simplicity
Creators: name: Russo, Daniel

description: Nei primi anni Venti Charles Kay Ogden intuì che l’inglese poteva ricoprire il ruolo di lingua franca e concepì Basic English come una lingua controllata che potesse essere compresa su larga scala e impiegata con competenza da parlanti madrelingua e non. Si può affermare che il Basic di Ogden rappresenti un momento chiave nello sviluppo delle idee di semplicità linguistica; esso rimane una pietra miliare cui si sono ispirate versioni recenziori di inglese controllato (ad esempio Simplified Technical English, Special English, Simple English Wikipedia). Nell’idea di semplificazione linguistica di Ogden (che era stata ampiamente influenzata dai suoi studi in campo semiotico) si possono distinguere alcuni principi essenziali: lessico controllato, isomorfismo lessicale, standardizzazione (intesa come codifica di un numero preciso di regole condivise nell’uso della lingua), morfosintassi come prodotto del lessico, superiorità di strutture analitiche rispetto a quelle sintetiche e universalità di una lingua comune come fattore chiave nella risoluzione dei conflitti umani. La semplicità della lingua è pertanto ritenuta funzionale al miglioramento della comunicazione e delle interazioni sociali. In questo studio sosteniamo che l’idea di semplicità linguistica di Ogden affonda le radici nella storia della lingua inglese, radici che possono essere rintracciate nel XVI secolo, epoca in cui al “parlar chiaro” (plain speech) erano ricondotti valori di verità e virtù in contrapposizione alle ambiguità di un linguaggio figurato ricco di artifici retorici, e nel XVII secolo, quando emerse l’applicazione di criteri di scientificità all’ambito della semplificazione linguistica.

description: The magnetic domain wall motion driven by a magnetic field is studied in (Ga,Mn)As and (Ga,Mn)(As,P) films of different thicknesses. In the thermally activated creep regime, a kink in the velocity curves and a jump of the roughness exponent evidence a dimensional crossover in the domain wall dynamics. The measured values of the roughness exponent zeta_{1d} = 0.62 +/- 0.02 and zeta_{2d} = 0.45 +/- 0.04 are compatible with theoretical predictions for the motion of elastic line (d = 1) and surface (d = 2) in two and three dimensional media, respectively.
A stellar proper motion map of the SMC from the VMC survey
Creators: name: Niederhofer, Florian
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019

description: The Magellanic Clouds are currently interacting with each other and the Milky Way and are in the early phases of a minor merger event. Due to their close proximity and position below the Galactic plane, the Clouds provide an unique opportunity to study in great detail the kinematics of resolved stellar populations within an interacting pair of galaxies. Thanks to the precision of state-of-the-art observing facilities, it is now possible to measure, in addition to radial velocities, the motions of Magellanic Cloud stars in the plane of the sky and access the entire three-dimensional velocity field of various stellar populations within the Clouds. The recently finished near-infrared VISTA survey of the Magellanic Cloud system (VMC) is specially designed to study in detail multiple aspects of the LMC and SMC. Thanks to its multi-epoch nature, the VMC data can be used for measurements of stellar proper motions. In this contribution, we will present results from our ongoing project dedicated to measure the proper motions of large samples of stars across the SMC, showing the large scale velocity field within the SMC and the small scale motions of individual stellar populations.

description: We consider a configuration of strings and solitons in the type IIB superstring theory on $M^5\times T^5$, which is composed of a set of arbitrarily-wound D-fivebranes on $T^5$ and a set of arbitrarily-wound D-strings on $S^1$ of the torus. For the configuration, it is shown that number of microscopic states is bounded from above by the exponential of the Hawking-Bekenstein entropy of the corresponding black hole and the temperature of closed string radiation from the D-branes is bounded from below by the Hawking temperature of the black hole. After discussing the necessary and sufficient condition to saturate these bounds, we give some speculations about black hole thermodynamics.

description: It has been recently suggested that magnetically affected neutrino oscillations inside a cooling protoneutron star, created in a supernova explosion, could explain the large proper motion of pulsars. We investigate whether this hypothesis is in agreement with the observed properties of pulsars and find that present data disfavor the suggested mechanism. The relevance of our results for other models proposed to understand the origin of pulsar velocities is also discussed.

Towards a complete understanding of the Magellanic Clouds and Stream
Creators: name: Yang, Yanbin
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019

description: The origin of Magellanic Clouds (MCs) and Stream have kept challenging to explain. Moreover, the recent discoveries of a huge amounts of ionized gas associated with the Stream and the extraordinary elongated 3D structure of SMC stars make them more enigmatic. Illustrating with fully-resolved hydrodynamical simulations, I will present comprehensive studies on this system, giving a overall and physical view on their formation history in a "ram-pressure plus collision" scenario. Carefully analyzed the deepest HI survey, we found that the overall Stream is actually structured into two ram-pressure tails. The ram pressure is induced by the diffused multiphase gas in the MW halo. Kelvin-Helmholtz instability in the mixing phase of the stripped gas provides sufficient efficiency to explain the huge amounts ionized gas in the Stream. The collision between the two clouds at 200-300 Myr ago has completely reshaped the system, i.e., radically changed the motion of LMC making it largely offset from the trace of its ram-pressure tail; helped to expel more gas from the Clouds; destroyed SMC stellar system stretching it into 30-kpc long along line of sight but only 5x3 kpc^2 in sky projection.
The Effect of Resource Limits and Task Complexity on Collaborative Planning in Dialogue

Subjects: subject: Computation and Language (cs.CL)

description: This paper shows how agents' choice in communicative action can be designed to mitigate the effect of their resource limits in the context of particular features of a collaborative planning task. I first motivate a number of hypotheses about effective language behavior based on a statistical analysis of a corpus of natural collaborative planning dialogues. These hypotheses are then tested in a dialogue testbed whose design is motivated by the corpus analysis. Experiments in the testbed examine the interaction between (1) agents' resource limits in attentional capacity and inferential capacity; (2) agents' choice in communication; and (3) features of communicative tasks that affect task difficulty such as inferential complexity, degree of belief coordination required, and tolerance for errors. The results show that good algorithms for communication must be defined relative to the agents' resource limits and the features of the task. Algorithms that are inefficient for inferentially simple, low coordination or fault-tolerant tasks are effective when tasks require coordination or complex inferences, or are fault-intolerant. The results provide an explanation for the occurrence of utterances in human dialogues that, prima facie, appear inefficient, and provide the basis for the design of effective algorithms for communicative choice for resource limited agents.

description: Simulating electron-nucleus coupled dynamics poses a non-trivial challenge and an important problem in the investigation of ultrafast processes involving coupled electronic and vibrational dynamics. Because irreversibility of the system dynamics results from thermal activation and dissipation caused by the environment, in dynamical studies, it is necessary to include heat bath degrees of freedom in the total system. When the system dynamics involves high-energy electronic transitions, the environment is regarded to be in a low-temperature regime and we must treat it quantum mechanically. In this paper, we present rigorous and versatile approaches for investigating the dynamics of open systems with coupled electronic and vibrational degrees of freedom within a fully quantum mechanical framework. These approaches are based on a quantum Fokker-Planck equation and a quantum Smoluchowski equation employing a heat bath with an Ohmic spectral density, with non-Markovian low-temperature correction terms, and extensions of these equations to the case of multi-state systems. The accuracy of these equations was numerically examined for a single-state Brownian system, while their applicability was examined for multi-state double-well systems by comparing their results with those of the fewest-switch surface hopping and Ehrenfest methods with a classical Markovian Langevin force. Comparison of the transient absorption spectra obtained using these methods clearly reveals the importance of the quantum low-temperature correction terms. These equations allow us to treat non-adiabatic dynamics in an efficient way, while maintaining numerical accuracy. The C++ source codes that we developed, which allow for the treatment of the phase and coordinate space dynamics with any single-state or multi-state potential forms, are provided as Supporting Information.

description: Quantum computation is a topic of significant recent interest, with practical advances coming from both research and industry. A major challenge in quantum programming is dealing with errors (quantum noise) during execution. Because quantum resources (e.g., qubits) are scarce, classical error correction techniques applied at the level of the architecture are currently cost-prohibitive. But while this reality means that quantum programs are almost certain to have errors, there as yet exists no principled means to reason about erroneous behavior. This paper attempts to fill this gap by developing a semantics for erroneous quantum while-programs, as well as a logic for reasoning about them. This logic permits proving a property we have identified, called $ε$-robustness, which characterizes possible "distance" between an ideal program and an erroneous one. We have proved the logic sound, and showed its utility on several case studies, notably: (1) analyzing the robustness of noisy versions of the quantum Bernoulli factory (QBF) and quantum walk (QW); (2) demonstrating the (in)effectiveness of different error correction schemes on single-qubit errors; and (3) analyzing the robustness of a fault-tolerant version of QBF.

description: We present a NMR pulse double-irradiation method which allows one to separate magnetic from quadrupolar contributions in the spin-lattice relaxation. The pulse sequence fully saturates one transition while another is observed. In the presence of a Delta m = 2 quadrupolar contribution, the intensity of the observed line is altered compared to a standard spin-echo experiment. We calculated analytically this intensity change for spins I=1, 3/2, 5/2, thus providing a quantitative analysis of the experimental results. Since the pulse sequence we used takes care of the absorbed radio-frequency power, no problems due to heating arise. The method is especially suited when only one NMR sensitive isotope is available. Different cross-checks were performed to prove the reliability of the obtained results. The applicability of this method is demonstrated by a study of the plane oxygen 17O (I = 5/2) in the high-temperature superconductor YBa_2Cu_4O_8: the 17O spin-lattice relaxation rate consists of magnetic as well as quadrupolar contributions.

Methods: A retrospective analysis of exposures to pharmaceutical products intended for animal use, managed by the New South Wales Poison Information Centre (NSWPIC, Australia’s largest poisons information centre) from 2014 to 2016 inclusive, was conducted. Case narratives were reviewed and coded for exposure-related circumstances and intended species. Descriptive statistics were generated and forest plots were produced to visualise the perceived severity of products. Results: From 2014 through 2016 NSWPIC received 2655 calls regarding exposure to veterinary pharmaceutical products: 11.72 human exposures to veterinary pharmaceuticals per 1000 PIC initial contact exposure calls (CI: 10.95–12.49) per year. The vast majority of exposures were with products intended for companion animals, particularly of the class “antiparasitic products, insecticides and repellents”, with the most common individual specified product being pimobendan, a phosphodiesterase inhibitor used as a cardiac inotrope and vasodilator in dogs. Immunologicals presented the greatest perceived severity, with livestock vaccinations eliciting substantial proportions of symptomatic exposures and those receiving hospitalisation. Exploratory behaviour, such as accessing packaging, was a common source of exposure within toddlers and children in particular. Conclusions: This overview of all exposures to veterinary pharmaceutical products has identified high-risk groups to target interventions to reduce the incidence of future exposures. The pet-owning population and those personnel administering immunologicals to livestock represent a substantial cohort of individuals at risk of harm during, and in the immediate time following, administration of veterinary pharmaceutical products to animals. It is important to review risk management plans for veterinary pharmaceutical products to ensure product safety is as stringent as human equivalents. The legislative requirements concerning child-resistant packaging and the scheduling of livestock vaccines require reconsideration.

description: We will present Period-Luminosity and Period-Luminosity-Color relations at maximum-light for Mira variables in the Magellanic Clouds using time-series data from the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment and Gaia data release 2. These maximum-light relations exhibit a scatter typically smaller than their mean-light counterparts. High-precision photometry from Kepler mission for few Mira candidates, together with their multi-epoch spectra from LAMOST survey, is used to investigate the stability of maximum-light magnitudes over different pulsation cycles. The initial evidence of stability of maximum-light magnitudes for both individual Miras and a group of Miras with similar periods, can be attributed to the decrease in the sensitivity to molecular bands at their warmest phase. Limited near-infrared data for Miras in the Magellanic Clouds and the Galactic globular clusters are used to derive Period-Luminosity relations at maximum-light, and their distance scale application will be discussed with Cen A as a target galaxy.

description: Surveillance and security scenarios usually require high efficient facial image compression scheme for face recognition and identification. While either traditional general image codecs or special facial image compression schemes only heuristically refine codec separately according to face verification accuracy metric. We propose a Learning based Facial Image Compression (LFIC) framework with a novel Regionally Adaptive Pooling (RAP) module whose parameters can be automatically optimized according to gradient feedback from an integrated hybrid semantic fidelity metric, including a successfully exploration to apply Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) as metric directly in image compression scheme. The experimental results verify the framework's efficiency by demonstrating performance improvement of 71.41%, 48.28% and 52.67% bitrate saving separately over JPEG2000, WebP and neural network-based codecs under the same face verification accuracy distortion metric. We also evaluate LFIC's superior performance gain compared with latest specific facial image codecs. Visual experiments also show some interesting insight on how LFIC can automatically capture the information in critical areas based on semantic distortion metrics for optimized compression, which is quite different from the heuristic way of optimization in traditional image compression algorithms.

description: Background: Repeated supratherapeutic ingestion (RSTI) of paracetamol can result in acute liver injury. Management guidelines vary worldwide and in Australia, acetylcysteine treatment is recommended in patients with a paracetamol concentration ≥20 mg/L and/or alanine transaminase (ALT) ≥50 U/L. Objectives: To investigate patients with RSTI of paracetamol and determine whether admission ALT <50 U/L rules out those who develop hepatotoxicity (ALT >1000 U/L). Method: Retrospective review of paracetamol RSTI presentations to two toxicology services over a four-year period. Patients were included if they ingested >4 g per 24 h of paracetamol for a period >8 h, regardless of intent. Data collected included demographics, ingestion history, pathology results, treatments and outcomes. Results: 266 patients were identified with median ingested dose of 9 g per 24 h (IQR: 6–12 g) over a median of 2 days (IQR: 1–5 days). On presentation, paracetamol was detected in 192 (72%), with median concentration of 14 mg/L (IQR: 7–27 mg/L). Median ALT on admission in those developing hepatotoxicity was significantly higher, 1182 U/L (IQR: 598–4251 U/L), compared to 30 U/L (IQR: 18–59 U/L; p Conclusions: Our results confirm that those developing hepatotoxicity from RSTI of paracetamol have an elevated ALT on presentation. Presenting ALT <50 U/L appears to be a safe threshold not to administer acetylcysteine, provided the paracetamol concentration is low.

description: In the framework of Navier-Stokes equations, it is shown that when exposed to external disturbances in the form of low-intensity harmonic waves, a linear instability is observed on a plate immersed in a supersonic gas flow, which then becomes non-linear, leading to stochastic gas movement. The parameters for the self-sustaining turbulence have been determined. The flow patterns on the plate surface and the flow structure inside the turbulent boundary layer are presented.

MULTI-SCALE MODELING

description: A numerical framework denoted as Zonal Immersed Boundary Conditions (ZIBC) has recently been developed and successfully applied to a full space launcher model namely Ariane 5 (see Weiss and Deck34 ). One of the next development step lies in the validation and the extension of this methodology for different configurations. In particular, the robustness of the approach needs to be confirmed for unsteady numerical simulations using ZDES which is the objective of the present paper. To do so, a sub-scale Ariane 6 PPH model is computed for two transonic Mach numbers (i.e. M = 0.7 and 0.9) with an angle of attack equal to -3 . In this case, the sting holding the model, the main stage and the boosters consisting in cylindrical bodies with changing areas are modelled using a classical body-fitted (BF) approach. Then, the struts linking the main stage to the boosters are reproduced by the local introduction of immersed boundary conditions as in Mochel et al.18 and Deck et al.9 A physical analysis is performed on the basis of the wall fluctuating pressure to investigate the characteristic unsteady phenomena occurring for the specific angle of attack and the near sonic Mach number.
Evolution of Magnetized White Dwarf Binaries to Type Ia Supernovae

description: With the increasing number of observed magnetic white dwarfs (WDs), the role of magnetic field of the WD in both single and binary evolutions should draw more attentions. In this study, we investigate the WD/main-sequence star binary evolution with the Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA code), by considering WDs with non-, intermediate and high magnetic field strength. We mainly focus on how the strong magnetic field of the WD (in a polar-like system) affects the binary evolution towards type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia). The accreted matter goes along the magnetic field lines and falls down onto polar caps, and it can be confined by the strong magnetic field of the WD, so that the enhanced isotropic pole-mass transfer rate can let the WD grow in mass even with a low mass donor with the low Roche-lobe overflow mass transfer rate. The results under the magnetic confinement model show that both initial parameter space for SNe Ia and characteristics of the donors after SNe Ia are quite distinguishable from those found in pervious SNe Ia progenitor models. The predicted natures of the donors are compatible with the non-detection of a companion in several SN remnants and nearby SNe.

description: We report a systematic rotation of the plane of polarization of electromagnetic radiation propagating over cosmological distances. The effect is extracted independently from Faraday rotation, and found to be correlated with the angular positions and distances to the sources. Monte Carlo analysis yields probabilistic P-values of order 10^(-3) for this to occur as a fluctuation. A fit yields a birefringence scale of order 10^(25) meters. Dependence on redshift z rules out a local effect. Barring hidden systematic bias in the data, the correlation indicates a new cosmological effect.

LAUNCH VEHICLE DESIGN

description: The development of effective load relief strategies is key to the improvement of launcher flight performance as it enables a joint increase of wind resilience and decrease of mass. This is particularly relevant for reusable launchers, which are aimed at maximising their operational availability and payload capacity. Yet, despite various advances in aeronautics and wind energy load relief, classical feedback-only techniques remain the state-of-practice for launchers. In this article, an improved load relief functionality is proposed by augmenting a conventional control design with a disturbance observer for on-board wind anticipation. Without requiring any change in the feedback loop, this approach also paves the way for the use of forwardlooking wind estimation in the launcher domain. The disturbance observer is designed and analysed using robust control techniques for a lightweight, non-winged reusable launch vehicle, which relies on the use of planar fins for unpropelled descent attitude control. While the use of fins for launch is not a common practice, the article also exemplifies how their use can further improve launcher performance.
