description: Direct D-H exchange in radicals is investigated in a quasi-uniform flow employing chirped pulse mm-wave spectroscopy. Inspired by the H-atom catalyzed isomerization of C3H2 reported in our previous study, D atom reactions with the propargyl (C3H3) radical and its photoproducts were investigated. We observed very efficient D atom enrichment in the photoproducts through an analogous process of D addition/H elimination to C3H2 isomers occurring at 40K or below. Cyclic C3HD is the only deuterated isomer observed, consistent with the expected addition/elimination yielding the lowest energy product. The other expected addition/elimination product, deuterated propargyl, is not directly detected, although its presence is inferred by the observations in the latter part of the flow. There, in the high-density region of the flow, we observed both isotopomers of singly deuterated propyne attributed to stabilization of the H + C3H2D or D + C3H3 adducts. The implications of these observations for the deuterium fractionation of hydrocarbon radicals in astrochemical environments is discussed with the support of a monodeuterated chemical kinetic model.

description: Публикуется текст доклада графа В. Н. Коковцова (1853-1943) о правоведе Н. С. Таганцеве (1843-1923), сделанного в Париже 4 марта 1930 г. на собрании Союза бывших деятелей российского судебного ведомства. В докладе раскрывается история взаимоотношений двух видных участников общественно-политической жизни России. Он позволяет понять особенности их взаимодействия и интеллектуальной преемственности, поскольку Н. С. Таганцев был профессором Александровского лицея, когда там учился В. Н. Коковцов, и оказал влияние на становление правовых взглядов своего ученика. В публикуемом докладе отражается картина мира представителей имперских элит на переломе истории. Хотя политические взгляды Н. С. Таганцева и В. Н. Коковцова различались, между ними не возникало разногласий на этой почве. Текст доклада наглядно показывает, что учитель всегда со вниманием следил за развитием карьеры своего ученика и сочувствовал ему в критические моменты, каким стала отставка В. Н. Коковцова в 1914 г. Доклад также обрисовывает особенности мироощущения русской послереволюционной эмиграции. Если в начале 1920-х гг. Коковцов верил в падение большевиков, то его доклад 1930 г. проникнут чувством обреченности и ощущением неизбежной смерти на чужбине. Доклад раскрывает неизвестные страницы из биографии Н. С. Таганцева, например, в нем говорится о его несостоявшейся поездке в Париж в 1921 г. Доклад в значительной мере дополняет сведения о взаимоотношениях В. Н. Коковцова и Н. С. Таганцева, содержащиеся в их ранее опубликованных мемуарах.

Kepler-80 Revisited: Assessing the Participation of a Newly Discovered Planet in the Resonant Chain

description: In this paper, we consider the chain of resonances in the Kepler-80 system and evaluate the impact that the additional member of the resonant chain discovered by Shallue & Vanderburg (2018) has on the dynamics of the system and the physical parameters that can be recovered by a fit to the transit timing variations (TTVs). Ultimately, we calculate the mass of Kepler-80 g to be $0.8 \pm 0.3 M_\oplus$ when assuming all planets have zero eccentricity, and $1.0 \pm 0.3 \ M_{\oplus}$ when relaxing that assumption. We show that the outer five planets are in successive three-body mean-motion resonances (MMRs). We assess the current state of two-body MMRs in the system and find that the planets do not appear to be in two-body MMRs. We find that while the existence of the additional member of the resonant chain does not significantly alter the character of the Kepler-80 three-body MMRs, it can alter the physical parameters derived from the TTVs, suggesting caution should be applied when drawing conclusions from TTVs for potentially incomplete systems. We also compare our results to those of MacDonald et al. (2021), who perform a similar analysis on the same system with a different method. Although the results of this work and MacDonald et al. (2021) show that different fit methodologies and underlying assumptions can result in different measured orbital parameters, the most secure conclusion is that which holds true across all lines of analysis: Kepler-80 contains a chain of planets in three-body MMRs but not in two-body MMRs.

Constraints on Stellar Flare Energy Ratios in the NUV and Optical From a Multiwavelength Study of GALEX and Kepler Flare Stars

description: We present a multiwavelength study of stellar flares on primarily G-type stars using overlapping time domain surveys in the near ultraviolet (NUV) and optical regimes. The NUV (GALEX) and optical (Kepler) wavelength domains are important for understanding energy fractionations in stellar flares, and for constraining the associated incident radiation on a planetary atmosphere. We follow up on the NUV flare detections presented in Brasseur et al. 2019, using coincident Kepler long (1557 flares) and short (2 flares) cadence light curves. We find no evidence of optical flares at these times, and place limits on the flare energy ratio between the two wavebands. We find that the energy ratio is correlated with GALEX band energy, and extends over a range of about three orders of magnitude in the ratio of the upper limit of Kepler band flare energy to NUV flare energy at the same time for each flare. The two flares with Kepler short cadence data indicate that the true Kepler band energy may be much lower than the long cadence based upper limit. A similar trend appears for the bulk flare energy properties of non-simultaneously observed flares on the same stars. We provide updated models to describe the flare spectral energy distribution from the NUV through the optical including continua and emission lines to improve upon blackbody-only models. The spread of observed energy ratios is much larger than encompassed by these models and suggests new physics is at work. These results call for better understanding of NUV flare physics and provide a cautionary tale about using only optical flare measurements to infer the UV irradiation of close-in planets.

description: Plants growing at the edges of their range limits are expected to be particularly sensitive to changes in precipitation and temperature regimes associated with climatic change. However, non-climatic factors are increasingly recognized as important constraints to species’ range expansions. Therefore, we assessed the effects of soil provenance with respect to the alpine treeline on the germination, growth, and survival of Engelmann spruce (Picea engelmannii) seedlings. Seedlings were grown under controlled conditions in a growth chamber and greenhouse for ninety days in soils collected from four treeline ecotones in the Canadian Rocky Mountains. By controlling seed source and climatic conditions, and eliminating competition and predation, we attribute differences in seedling viability to soil properties that differed across elevation zones and individual treeline sites. Overall, alpine soils originating from beyond the species’ current elevational range were least amenable to growth, and there was some indication of reduced germination and survival in high-elevation soils. Forest soils, which were coarser and more nutrient rich, hosted seedlings with greater above- and below-ground biomass. Thus, the physical and chemical characteristics of alpine soils in our study region may constrain future treeline expansion, underscoring the importance of incorporating soil properties when considering species’ distributions under climate change.

description: Context: Outflows from low-mass star-forming galaxies are a fundamental ingredient for models of galaxy evolution and cosmology. Aims: The onset of kpc-scale ionised filaments in the halo of the metal-poor compact dwarf SBS 0335-052E was previously not linked to an outflow. We here we investigate whether these filaments provide evidence for an outflow. Methods: We obtained new VLT/MUSE WFM and deep NRAO/VLA B-configuration 21cm data of the galaxy. The MUSE data provide morphology, kinematics, and emission line ratios H$β$/H$α$ and [\ion{O}{iii}]$\lambda5007$/H$α$ of the low surface-brightness filaments, while the VLA data deliver morphology and kinematics of the neutral gas in and around the system. Both datasets are used in concert for comparisons between the ionised and the neutral phase. Results: We report the prolongation of a lacy filamentary ionised structure up to a projected distance of 16 kpc at $\mathrm{SB}_\mathrm{Hα} = 1.5\times10^{-18}$erg s$^{-1}$ cm$^{-2}$arcsec$^{-2}$. The filaments exhibit unusual low H$α$/H$β\approx 2.4$ and low [\ion{O}{iii}]/H$α\sim 0.4 - 0.6$ typical of diffuse ionised gas. They are spectrally narrow ($\sim 20$ km s$^{-1}$) and exhibit no velocity sub-structure. The filaments extend outwards of the elongated \ion{H}{I} halo. On small scales the $N_\mathrm{HI}$ peak is offset from the main star-forming sites. Morphology and kinematics of \ion{H}{I} and \ion{H}{II} reveal how star-formation driven feedback interacts differently with the ionised and the neutral phase. Conclusions: We reason that the filaments are a large scale manifestation of star-formation driven feedback, namely limb-brightened edges of a giant outflow cone that protrudes through the halo of this gas-rich system. A simple toy model of such a conical-structure is found to be commensurable with the observations.

description: High mountain areas above the alpine zone are, despite the low-temperature conditions, inhabited by evolutionary and functionally differing organism groups. We compared the abundance and species richness of vascular plants, oribatid mites, springtails, spiders, and beetles, as well as bacterial and methanogenic archaeal prokaryotes (only abundance), at 100 m vertical intervals from 2,700–3,400 m in the Central Alps. We hypothesized that the less mobile microarthropods and microorganisms are more determined by and respond in similar ways to soil properties as do vascular plants. In contrast, we expected the more mobile surface-dwelling groups to forage also in places devoid of vegetation and thus to show patterns that deviate from that of vascular plants. Surprisingly, the observed patterns were diametrically opposed to our expectations: soil-living oribatid mites and springtails showed high individual numbers at high elevations, even where vascular plants barely occurred. Springtails also showed a rather constant species richness throughout the entire gradient. In contrast, patterns of surface-dwelling organisms and of archaeal prokaryotes did not differ significantly from vascular plants, because of either comparable climate sensitivity or their dependency on vegetated habitats. This study may serve as a baseline to estimate the risks of biodiversity losses in response to climate change across different biotic ecosystem components and to explore the potential and limitations of vascular plants as proxy for other organism groups that are far more challenging to monitor.

description: Expansion of wind-blown bubbles or HII regions lead to formation of shocks in the interstellar medium, which compress surrounding gas into dense layers. We made spatially and velocity-resolved observations of the RCW~120 PDR and nearby molecular gas with CO(6-5) and 13CO(6-5) lines and distinguished a bright CO-emitting layer, which we related with the dense shocked molecular gas moving away from the ionizing star due to expansion of HII region. Simulating gas density and temperature, as well as brightness of several CO and C+ emission lines from the PDR, we found reasonable agreement with the observed values. Analysing gas kinematics, we revealed the large-scale shocked PDR and also several dense environments of embedded protostars and outflows. We observe the shocked layer as the most regular structure in the CO(6-5) map and in the velocity space, when the gas around YSOs is dispersed by the outflows.

description: This paper presents a class of new fast non-trainable entropy-based confidence estimation methods for automatic speech recognition. We show how per-frame entropy values can be normalized and aggregated to obtain a confidence measure per unit and per word for Connectionist Temporal Classification (CTC) and Recurrent Neural Network Transducer (RNN-T) models. Proposed methods have similar computational complexity to the traditional method based on the maximum per-frame probability, but they are more adjustable, have a wider effective threshold range, and better push apart the confidence distributions of correct and incorrect words. We evaluate the proposed confidence measures on LibriSpeech test sets, and show that they are up to 2 and 4 times better than confidence estimation based on the maximum per-frame probability at detecting incorrect words for Conformer-CTC and Conformer-RNN-T models, respectively.

description: Considering light-mediated long-range interactions between cold atoms in a magneto-optical trap (MOT), we present numerical evidence of a nonequilibrium steady state (NESS) for sufficiently large number of atoms (> 10^8). This state manifests itself as the appearance of an anisotropic distribution of velocity when a MOT approaches the threshold beyond which self-oscillating instabilities occur. Our three-dimensional (3D) spatiotemporal model with nonlocal spatial dependencies stemming from the interatomic interactions has recently been compared successfully to predict different instability thresholds and regimes in experiments with rubidium atoms. The behavior of the NESS is studied as a function of the main MOT parameters, including its spatiotemporal characteristics.

description: Since 2003, concentrations of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in lakes in the Kangerlussuaq region declined by 14–55 percent, with these decreasing DOC concentrations potentially altering lake ecology and reflecting changes in regional carbon (C) cycling. To evaluate possible mechanisms responsible for this shift, we performed experiments to test the effects of dust addition, bacterial activity, or photodegradation on DOC concentration and two DOC quality metrics: the specific ultraviolet absorbance (SUVA254) and the chromophoric DOC spectral slope coefficient (S275–295). Lake-water DOC concentrations did not decline in any treatments, but there were changes in DOC quality. Dust addition increased SUVA254 and decreased the magnitude of S275–295 in one lake, the impacts of bacterial activity were variable, and sunlight exposure elicited a decline in SUVA254 and an increase in the magnitude of S275–295 in all lakes. These results suggest that DOC pools in the study lakes are photoreactive, even though the lakes are characterized by long residence times, but that declining DOC concentration did not result from this mechanism. While the tested mechanisms did not explain the decline in DOC concentration observed in recent years, they did yield new information about how dust, bacterial activity, or light can influence DOC quality in the lakes of the Kangerlussuaq region.

description: In this work, we present a simplified successive cancellation list decoder that uses a Chase-like decoding process to achieve a six time improvement in speed compared to successive cancellation list decoding while maintaining the same error-correction performance advantage over standard successive-cancellation polar decoders. We discuss the algorithm and detail the data structures and methods used to obtain this speed-up. We also propose an adaptive decoding algorithm that significantly improves the throughput while retaining the error-correction performance. Simulation results over the additive white Gaussian noise channel are provided and show that the proposed system is up to 16 times faster than an LDPC decoder of the same frame size, code rate, and similar error-correction performance, making it more suitable for use as a software decoding solution.

description: Microorganisms play a significant role in changing the physical properties of the surface of the Greenland Ice Sheet. Cryoconite holes are a hotspot for this microbial activity, yet little is known about the REDOX conditions that develop within them. In this study, we used oxygen microelectrodes and microoptodes to measure for anoxic conditions at the microscale, for the first time revealing a potential niche for anaerobic microorganisms and anaerobic processes. The development of an anoxic zone 2 mm deep within a 6 mm-thick layer of cryoconite sediment was observed within an hour of disturbance, showing rapid acclimation to changing physical conditions. Long-term (half year) incubations of cryoconite material showed a peak of oxygen production and consumption after forty days and reached a low-activity, steady state by day 116, with a persisting anoxic zone beginning between 2 mm and 4 mm deep. Anaerobic microorganisms, which have received little attention to date, should therefore be considered an important component of the cryoconite ecosystem. We discuss the possible dynamics of oxygen concentrations in the supraglacial system and infer that anoxic zones are an important factor in the development of cryoconite sediment communities.
HOLISTIC SOLUTIONS FOR CHRONIC LOW BACK PAIN: INTEGRATING ICF CORE SETS  WITH REHABILITATION PROBLEM-SOLVING FORM - STRATEGIC PATHWAYS IN  PHYSIOTHERAPY

description: Introduction: 

A large number of people globally suffer from the common and disabling condition  known as chronic low back pain (CLBP). Many people still struggle with chronic pain and  functional impairments even with a wide range of treatment choices available, which lowers  their quality of life and raises healthcare expenses. Traditional approaches frequently  concentrate on managing symptoms rather than addressing the underlying causes of the  recurrence. 1 

One of the challenges in managing CLBP is the lack of a holistic, patient-centred approach that integrates both physical support and cognitive-behavioral strategies.  Additionally, patients with CLBP frequently face difficulties in problem-solving and managing  the daily challenges of their condition, which can further aggravates their symptoms and  delay recovery.2 

 

There is a need for a comprehensive rehabilitation plan that not only provides physical  support but also encourages patients to actively participate in their recovery. The combination  of ICF corsets and a Rehabilitation Problem-Solving Form provides an effective solution to  this issue by addressing both the physical and psychological components of CLBP. 3  

 

However, the efficacy of this combination approach in improving patient outcomes has  not been widely practised by among physiotherapist, hence this study provide an idea for a  better strategy for chronic low back pain management. 

This study aims to fill that gap by examining the effects of ICF core sets and the  Rehabilitation Problem-Solving Form on pain relief, functional progress, and overall patient  satisfaction in those with chronic low back pain. The results will provide useful insights into  the potential benefits of a more holistic and integrated rehabilitation approach, with the goal.

description: Containers improve the efficiency in application deployment and thus have been widely utilised on Cloud and lately in High Performance Computing (HPC) environments. Containers encapsulate complex programs with their dependencies in isolated environments making applications more compatible and portable. Often HPC systems have higher security levels compared to Cloud systems, which restrict users' ability to customise environments. Therefore, containers on HPC need to include a heavy package of libraries making their size relatively large. These libraries usually are specifically optimised for the hardware, which compromises portability of containers. Per contra, a Cloud container has smaller volume and is more portable. Furthermore, containers would benefit from orchestrators that facilitate deployment and management of containers at a large scale. Cloud systems in practice usually incorporate sophisticated container orchestration mechanisms as opposed to HPC systems. Nevertheless, some solutions to enable container orchestration on HPC systems have been proposed in state of the art. This paper gives a survey and taxonomy of efforts in both containerisation and its orchestration strategies on HPC systems. It highlights differences thereof between Cloud and HPC. Lastly, challenges are discussed and the potentials for research and engineering are envisioned.

description: ABSTRACT : Background: Forward head posture is one of the commonest postural malalignments found  in today’s youth. This postural malalignment is one of the major causes of musculoskeletal  conditions in the body. If these postural changes are detected early, the musculoskeletal  conditions can be treated as well as further progression can be prevented. Hence the purpose  of the study was to find out the prevalence of FHP amongst college going students.  

Materials and methods: Total 200 participants were included in the study. Participants were  evaluated for FHP using ‘ON PROTRACTOR’ mobile application via craniovertebral and  craniohorizontal angle.  

Result: Eighty percent of participants had forward head posture.  

Conclusion: Prevalence of FHP is high amongst female college going students in  Gandhinagar city.

Possibility of a new neutral hypernucleus (n,n,Lambda,Lambda)

description: The status of the light hypernuclei is reviewed, and discussed with models based either on the Nijmegen-RIKEN baryon--baryon interaction or on recent studies using chiral effective field theory. The latter suggests a significantly shorter range for the $ΛΛ$ interaction, and this favours the formation of a Borromean state made of two neutrons and two hyperons. Various corrections are discussed, in particular the coupling of $NΛ$ to $NΣ$, or of $ΛΛ$ to $NΞ$, and the role of tensor forces. The new nucleus $(n,n,Λ,Λ)$ could be produced in various reactions, in particular deuteron--deuteron scattering with the simultaneous production of two charged kaons, for which an estimate of the cross section is provided.

On the transition of Charlier polynomials to the Hermite function

description: It has been known for over 70 years that there is an asymptotic transition of Charlier polynomials to Hermite polynomials. This transition, which is still presented in its classical form in modern reference works, is valid if and only if a certain parameter is integer. In this light, it is surprising that a much more powerful transition exists from Charlier polynomials to the Hermite function, valid for any real value of the parameter. This greatly strengthens the asymptotic connections between Charlier polynomials and special functions, with applications for instance in queueing theory. It is shown in this paper that the convergence is uniform in bounded intervals, and a sharp rate bound is proved. It is also shown that there is a transition of derivatives of Charlier polynomials to the derivative of the Hermite function, again with a sharp rate bound. Finally, it is proved that zeros of Charlier polynomials converge to zeros of the Hermite function. While rigorous, the proofs use only elementary techniques.

description: Background: In October 2018, Canada legalized non-medical cannabis. A primary goal of legalization is to reduce illicit market transactions; however, there is little ‘baseline’ data on the price and purchase sources of cannabis prior to legalization in Canada. This study examined the self-reported price of dried cannabis, quantity purchased, and sources used before retail stores opened. Methods: Data come from the baseline wave of the International Cannabis Policy Study (ICPS), a prospective cohort survey conducted in August–October 2018, immediately before legalization. Respondents were 1227 Canadians aged 16–65 years who reported purchasing dried cannabis in the past 12 months. Respondents were recruited using the Nielsen Consumer Insights Global Panel. A linear regression model examined price-per-gram by quantity purchased, source used, and socio-demographics. Results: Overall, the mean self-reported price-per-gram among cannabis users was C$9.56 (standard errors of the mean [SEM] = 0.2). The price-per-gram of cannabis significantly decreased as quantity purchased increased. For example, the mean price of cannabis purchased in smaller quantities (<3.5 g) ($12.81/g, SEM = 0.5) was more than double the price of cannabis purchased in larger quantities (>28 g) ($5.60/g, SEM = 0.2). The estimated quantity discount elasticity was −0.21 (95% CI: −0.25, −0.18). The most common purchase sources used were family member/friends (53.0%) and illicit street dealers (51.7%). Price-per-gram varied across sources; however, variation was largely accounted for by consumers purchasing different quantities at different sources. Conclusions: Variations in the price of dried cannabis were largely determined by the quantity purchased. The findings highlight the importance of accounting for purchase quantity when assessing cannabis prices, particularly in illicit markets.

description: Voice assistants are deployed widely and provide useful functionality. However, recent work has shown that commercial systems like Amazon Alexa and Google Home are vulnerable to voice-based confusion attacks that exploit design issues. We propose a systems-oriented defense against this class of attacks and demonstrate its functionality for Amazon Alexa. We ensure that only the skills a user intends execute in response to voice commands. Our key insight is that we can interpret a user's intentions by analyzing their activity on counterpart systems of the web and smartphones. For example, the Lyft ride-sharing Alexa skill has an Android app and a website. Our work shows how information from counterpart apps can help reduce dis-ambiguities in the skill invocation process. We build SkilIFence, a browser extension that existing voice assistant users can install to ensure that only legitimate skills run in response to their commands. Using real user data from MTurk (N = 116) and experimental trials involving synthetic and organic speech, we show that SkillFence provides a balance between usability and security by securing 90.83% of skills that a user will need with a False acceptance rate of 19.83%.
