description: This paper compares digital, multi-spectral imagery from the Landsat 5 Thematic Mapper with that of the Landsat 7 Enhanced Thematic Mapper when used to discriminate crop types for area estimation. Comparisons are done for different types of crop areas in several states, using images that are only one day apart. The overlaps between adjacent paths in several major crops states are used to define the analysis areas. A simple non-parametric paired sample sign test is used to determine statistical significance of differences. Standardized techniques as used in the Agency's Cropland Data Layer Project are used for image processing, including a modified supervised pattern recognition /clustering approach for cover type signatures and maximum likelihood for categorization. Ground truth data consist of 211 one and two square mile areas selected in a stratified random sample and visited in June of the corresponding crop year. Sampling rates for the ground data range from one in 30 to one in 166 depending on the state and land use stratum.

description: Background: Cyanotic congenital heart disease accounts about one-third of all congenital heart disease, and the prevalence of it vary from center to another due to related factors. Objectives: The study aimed to provide the prevalence and the most common types and distribution of CCHD in children less than 14 years of age in Albaha area Saudi Arabia. Methods: Hospital-based retrospective observational cross-sectional study involved all cases of Cyanotic congenital heart disease (CCHD) diagnosed at the King Fahad Hospital Albaha, Saudi Arabia, between January 2006 and January 2019. All patients were screened by echocardiography to confirm the diagnosis. Results: Total of 314 patients were diagnosed as cyanotic congenital heart disease (CCHD) in our center. There were 158 males (50.32%) and 156 females (49.68%). The age of patients was from 1 day to 14 years with a mean of 35.42±4.1 months. The neonatal period was the modal age at diagnosis. Approximately 80% of the children had been diagnosed at the age of < 1 yr and 20% of cases diagnosed after that. Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) was the most common CCHD; it was diagnosed in 125 pts 39.81%. Double Outlet Right Ventricle (DORV) diagnosed in 48 pts 15.29%. Transposition of the Great Arteries (TGA) diagnosed in 34 pts 10.82. Pulmonary atresia 20 pts, 6.37%., Truncus arteriosus 20 pts, 6.37%., and Hypoplastic Left Ventricle Syndrome 20 pts, 6.37%. The other cyanotic congenital heart disease (CCHD) was 13.16%. Cyanosis was the common clinical presentation in all patients. Conclusions: The prevalence of cyanotic congenital heart disease in Albaha area was 14.62% of all congenital cardiac abnormalities, and no significant difference between male and female patients was seen. The most common types were TOF. Cyanosis was the most common clinical presentation. The outcome can be improved by early diagnosis. CCHD screening program associated with physical examination can help in early diagnosis.

description: Observations recently suggest $4.4σ$ discrepancy between Hubble constant measured locally and that inferred from cosmic microwave background in standard cosmology. Either standard cosmology or local measurement might expect something new. We investigate the possibility that the value of Hubble constants might be affected by observers' motional status in the local measurement. Using adapted coordinate for geodesic observers in FLRW space-time and constraints inferred from observation of cosmic shear, we find that the motional status of reference frame could contribute to about $1.1 \pm 0.3\%$ discrepancy of these Hubble constants. Namely, the difference is $ΔH_0= 0.81\pm0.22$ km s$^{-1}$ Mpc$^{-1}$, if the locally measured Hubble constant is $ 74$ km s$^{-1}$ Mpc$^{-1}$. This effect seems not negligible as an uncertainty for local measurement of Hubble constant

description: It is generally recognized that the electromagnetic multipolar emission from magnetars can be used to explain radiation from Soft Gamma Repeaters (SGRs) or Anomalous X-ray Pulsars (AXPs), but they have little impact on the spindown of magnetars. We here present a comprehensive analytical solution for the neutron star multipolar electromagnetic fields and their associated expected luminosities. We find that for newborn millisecond magnetars, the spin-down luminosity from higher multipolar components can match or even exceed that from the dipole component. Such high-intensity radiation will undoubtedly affect related astrophysical phenomena at the birth of a magnetar. We show that the spin-down luminosity from multipoles can well explain the majority of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) afterglows, from the plateau starting at several hundred seconds till the normal decay phase lasting for many years. The fitted magnetar parameters for GRB afterglows are all typical values, with spins in the millisecond range and magnetic field strengths in the order of $10^{14} - 10^{15}$ Gauss. Our results in turn, provide support for the hypothesis that GRBs originate from the birth of magnetars with a few millisecond period, thus deepening our understanding of the complex magnetic field structure and the equation of state of magnetars.

description: The magnetic resonance (MR) analysis of brain tumors is widely used for diagnosis and examination of tumor subregions. The overlapping area among the intensity distribution of healthy, enhancing, non-enhancing, and edema regions makes the automatic segmentation a challenging task. Here, we show that a convolutional neural network trained on high-contrast images can transform the intensity distribution of brain lesions in its internal subregions. Specifically, a generative adversarial network (GAN) is extended to synthesize high-contrast images. A comparison of these synthetic images and real images of brain tumor tissue in MR scans showed significant segmentation improvement and decreased the number of real channels for segmentation. The synthetic images are used as a substitute for real channels and can bypass real modalities in the multimodal brain tumor segmentation framework. Segmentation results on BraTS 2019 dataset demonstrate that our proposed approach can efficiently segment the tumor areas. In the end, we predict patient survival time based on volumetric features of the tumor subregions as well as the age of each case through several regression models.

description: Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated great potential in Conversational Recommender Systems (CRS). However, the application of LLMs to CRS has exposed a notable discrepancy in behavior between LLM-based CRS and human recommenders: LLMs often appear inflexible and passive, frequently rushing to complete the recommendation task without sufficient inquiry.This behavior discrepancy can lead to decreased accuracy in recommendations and lower user satisfaction. Despite its importance, existing studies in CRS lack a study about how to measure such behavior discrepancy. To fill this gap, we propose Behavior Alignment, a new evaluation metric to measure how well the recommendation strategies made by a LLM-based CRS are consistent with human recommenders'. Our experiment results show that the new metric is better aligned with human preferences and can better differentiate how systems perform than existing evaluation metrics. As Behavior Alignment requires explicit and costly human annotations on the recommendation strategies, we also propose a classification-based method to implicitly measure the Behavior Alignment based on the responses. The evaluation results confirm the robustness of the method.

description: A major contribution of the High0Yielding Varieties (HYVs) Programme is the interest it has awakened among the farmers to depend on certified seed as an important input to increase their production. The growth of the seed industry was rather slow in the intial stages from 1963 to 1965. There was then a rapid exapnsion from 1966 to 1969. However, the phase of rapid growth proved to be a short-lived phenomenon. The accumulation of excess or unsold stocks of hybrid jowar and hybrid maize seed during 1969 and 1970 resulted in huge storage losses to the seed agencies, and resulted in reduced seed production acreasges of these crops in 1970-71, even though the total acreage has not planted to HYVs. This situation attracted the ateention of the leading economists in the country in 1969/ A.M. Khusro pointed out that "as for high-yielding carieties, they were not there until the other day, and such improved varieties that did exist were not in good demand".

description: Nonlinear sigma models compatible with the aratyn-Ferreira-Zimerman ansatz are discussed, the latter ansatz automatically leading to configurations with definite values of the Hopf index. These models are allowed to involve a weight factor which is a function of one of the toroidal coordinates. Depending on the choice of the weight factor, the field equation takes various forms. In one model with a special weight factor, the field equation turns out to be the fifth Painleve equation. This model suggests the existence of a knot soliton strictly confined in a finite spatial volume. Some other interesting cases are also discussed.

description: This paper addresses the issue of building a part-based representation of a dataset of images. More precisely, we look for a non-negative, sparse decomposition of the images on a reduced set of atoms, in order to unveil a morphological and interpretable structure of the data. Additionally, we want this decomposition to be computed online for any new sample that is not part of the initial dataset. Therefore, our solution relies on a sparse, non-negative auto-encoder where the encoder is deep (for accuracy) and the decoder shallow (for interpretability). This method compares favorably to the state-of-the-art online methods on two datasets (MNIST and Fashion MNIST), according to classical metrics and to a new one we introduce, based on the invariance of the representation to morphological dilation.

description: Information on water balance components such as evapotranspiration and groundwater recharge are crucial for water management. Due to differences in physical conditions, but also due to limited budgets, there is not one universal best practice, but a wide range of different methods with specific advantages and disadvantages. In this study, we propose an approach to quantify actual evapotranspiration, groundwater recharge and water inflow, i.e. precipitation and irrigation, that considers the specific conditions of irrigated agriculture in warm, arid environments. This approach does not require direct measurements of precipitation or irrigation quantities and is therefore suitable for sites with an uncertain data basis. For this purpose, we combine soil moisture and energy balance monitoring, remote sensing data analysis and numerical modelling using Hydrus. Energy balance data and routine weather data serve to estimate ET0. Surface reflectance data from satellite images (Sentinel‐2) are used to derive leaf area indices, which help to partition ET0 into energy limited evaporation and transpiration. Subsequently, first approximations of water inflow are derived based on observed soil moisture changes. These inflow estimates are used in a series of forward simulations that produce initial estimates of drainage and ETact, which in turn help improve the estimate of water inflow. Finally, the improved inflow estimates are incorporated into the model and then a parameter optimization is performed using the observed soil moisture as the reference figure. Forward simulations with calibrated soil parameters result in final estimates for ETact and groundwater recharge. The presented method is applied to an agricultural test site with a crop rotation of cotton and wheat in Punjab, Pakistan. The final model results, with an RMSE of 2.2% in volumetric water content, suggest a cumulative ETact and groundwater recharge of 769 and 297 mm over a period of 281 days, respectively. The total estimated water inflow accounts for 946 mm, of which 77% originates from irrigation.

description: We present the optimal scheme for estimating a pure qubit state by means of local measurements on N identical copies. We give explicit examples for low N. For large N, we show that the fidelity saturates the collective measurement bound up to order 1/N. When the signal state lays on a meridian of the Bloch sphere, we show that this can be achieved without classical communication.

description: Let $E$ be a Banach space such that $E'$ has the Radon-Nikodým property. The aim of this work is to connect relative weak compactness in the $E$-valued martingale Hardy space $H^{1}(μ,E)$ to a convex compactness criterion in a weaker topology, such as the topology of uniform convergence on compacts in measure. These results represent a dynamic version of the deep result of Diestel, Ruess, and Schachermayer on relative weak compactness in $L^{1}(μ,E)$. In the reflexive case, we obtain a Kadec-Pełczyński dichotomy for $H^{1}(μ,E)$-bounded sequences, which decomposes a subsequence into a relatively weakly compact part, a pointwise weakly convexly convergent part, and a null part converging to zero uniformly on compacts in measure. As a corollary, we investigate a parameterized version of the vector-valued Komlós theorem without the assumption of $H^{1}(μ,E)$-boundedness.

description: We consider the bending of light around a compact astrophysical object with both the electric field and the magnetic field in Einstein-Born-Infeld theory. From the null geodesic of a light ray passing a massive object with electric charge and magnetic dipole, the effective metric was obtained from the light cone condition reflecting the nonlinear electromagnetic effects. We found the asymptotic form of the effective metric up to the first order in gravitational constant $G$ and Born-Infeld parameter $1/β^2$ on the equatorial plane. Then we compute the bending angle of light from the geodesic equation. The result includes particular cases where only one type of field is present taking the appropriate limits.

Dynamic transition of the density-matrix topology under parity-time symmetry

description: Density-matrix topology, defined through the geometric property of the relevant modular Hamiltonian, can undergo transitions in the corresponding open-system dynamics. While symmetry considerations are crucial to ensure such a dynamic topological transition, we show that a hidden parity-time symmetry can further facilitate it. Considering the Lindbladian dynamics of a fermionic Gaussian state, we extract the time-evolved density-matrix topology from the single-particle correlation, whose dynamics is governed by a non-Hermitian damping matrix. We show that, for a parity-time symmetric damping matrix and a chiral symmetric correlation matrix, a dynamic transition in the density-matrix topology necessarily occurs in the parity-time unbroken regime where eigenvalues of the damping matrix are real. We illustrate our results using a concrete model, and map out the dynamic phase diagram.Remarkably, we find that the dynamic transition can also happen periodically in the parity-time symmetry broken regime.

description: The prospective applications of metallic glasses are limited by their lack of ductility, attributed to shear banding inducing catastrophic failure. A concise depiction of the local atomic arrangement (local atomic packing and chemical short‐range order), induced by shear banding, is quintessential to understand the deformation mechanism, however still not clear. An explicit view of the complex interplay of local atomic structure and chemical environment is presented by mapping the atomic arrangements in shear bands (SBs) and in their vicinity in a deformed Vitreloy 105 metallic glass, using the scanning electron diffraction pair distribution function and atom probe tomography. The results experimentally prove that plastic deformation causes a reduction of geometrically favored polyhedral motifs. Localized motifs variations and antisymmetric (bond and chemical) segregation extend for several hundred nanometers from the SB, forming the shear band affected zones. Moreover, the variations within the SB are found both perpendicular and parallel to the SB plane, also observable in the oxidation activity. The knowledge of the structural–chemical changes provides a deeper understanding of the plastic deformation of metallic glasses especially for their functional applications and future improvements.

description: Solute segregation along grain boundaries (GBs) profoundly affects their thermodynamic and kinetic behaviors in polycrystalline materials. Recently, the spectral approach has emerged as a powerful tool to predict GB segregation. However, previous GB segregation predictions using this method relied heavily on single-solute segregation energy spectrum without solute-solute interactions, which were often incorporated through a fitting parameter. In this work, we developed a dual-solute model whose segregation energy spectrum intrinsically incorporates solute-solute interactions. It was first validated for GB segregation prediction in the Al-Mg system and then extended to several other distinct binary alloy systems. The dual-solute model shows significant improvement over the single-solute model and can accurately predict the real segregation states obtained by hybrid Molecular Dynamics/Monte Carlo simulations within a broad temperature range with different solute concentrations before forming secondary phases. This dual-solute model provides an effective method for accurately predicting GB segregation in nanocrystalline metals.

Minimally Modified Gravity: a Hamiltonian Construction

description: Minimally modified gravity theories are modifications of general relativity with two local gravitational degrees of freedom in four dimensions. Their construction relies on the breaking of 4D diffeomorphism invariance keeping however the symmetry under 3D diffeomorphisms. Here, we construct these theories from a Hamiltonian point of view. We start with the phase space of general relativity in the ADM formalism. Then, we find the conditions that the Hamiltonian must satisfy for the theory to propagate (up to) two gravitational degrees of freedom with the assumptions that the lapse and the shift are not dynamical, and the theory remains invariant under 3D diffeomorphisms. This construction enables us to recover the well-known "cuscuton" class of scalar-tensor theories in the unitary gauge. We also exhibit a new class of interesting theories, that we dubb $f({\cal H})$ theories, where the usual Hamiltonian constraint $\cal H$ of general relativity is replaced by $f({\cal H})$ where $f$ is an arbitrary function.

description: We present LayerSkip, an end-to-end solution to speed-up inference of large language models (LLMs). First, during training we apply layer dropout, with low dropout rates for earlier layers and higher dropout rates for later layers, and an early exit loss where all transformer layers share the same exit. Second, during inference, we show that this training recipe increases the accuracy of early exit at earlier layers, without adding any auxiliary layers or modules to the model. Third, we present a novel self-speculative decoding solution where we exit at early layers and verify and correct with remaining layers of the model. Our proposed self-speculative decoding approach has less memory footprint than other speculative decoding approaches and benefits from shared compute and activations of the draft and verification stages. We run experiments on different Llama model sizes on different types of training: pretraining from scratch, continual pretraining, finetuning on specific data domain, and finetuning on specific task. We implement our inference solution and show speedups of up to 2.16x on summarization for CNN/DM documents, 1.82x on coding, and 2.0x on TOPv2 semantic parsing task. We open source our code and checkpoints at https://github.com/facebookresearch/LayerSkip.

description: We introduce a constructive method applicable to a large number of description logics (DLs) for establishing the concept-based Beth definability property (CBP) based on sequent systems. Using the highly expressive DL RIQ as a case study, we introduce novel sequent calculi for RIQ-ontologies and show how certain interpolants can be computed from sequent calculus proofs, which permit the extraction of explicit definitions of implicitly definable concepts. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first sequent-based approach to computing interpolants and definitions within the context of DLs, as well as the first proof that RIQ enjoys the CBP. Moreover, due to the modularity of our sequent systems, our results hold for restrictions of RIQ, and are applicable to other DLs by suitable modifications.

description: This cross-section study aimed to evaluate the health-related quality of life in 230 dentists working in public dental healthcare service in Bahia, Brazil. The 36-Item Short Form Health Survey and a questionnaire were used covering work and socio-demographic information. Descriptive and multiple linear regression analysis were performed. Dentists had higher scores in Vitality (51,49) and Physical Functioning (51,35) domains; lower scores in General Health (43,25) and Social Functioning (47,78). Better Physical Component Summary was associated with Post-graduation in Public Health, absence of children, greater autonomy in work and contribution of work to the society, patients' access to the service and relationship with the patients (P<0.05). Higher scores in Mental Component Summary were associated with white ethnicity, absence of children and satisfaction with the relationship with patients, self-evaluation of work, and courses and training offered (P<0.05). The results alerts to the importance of work environment in personal life and occupational health.
Characterization and Comparison of Exosomes Found in Stem Cell Cultures to Those Found in Plant Botanicals Especially Cocos Nucifera

description: While extensive information is published regarding human exosomes derived from adult stem cell cultures, limited publications are available on exosomes extracted from plant botanicals. This review characterized that similar to exosomes derived from adult stem cultures, exosomes extracted from plant botanicals such as cocos nucifera (coconut) water have demonstrated similar biological activities yet through exerting cross-species plant-to-human exosome-mediated intercellular communication and development. Plant exosomes, characterized by their differential advantages compared to mammalian-derived exosomes, are considered as more ideal exosomal sources regarding its scalability and cultivation convenience. Due to smaller exosomal size, coconut water in particular is characterized with more efficient absorption/uptake by human cells and delivery of exosomal contents (e.g., mircroRNAs) upon exerting biological activity against human cells, which potentially enlighten future applications of coconut water exosome-based therapeutics in humans.

description: The frequent localization of children echinococcosis is the lungs and then the liver. The muscular involvement of hydatidosis is unusual even in endemic countries because implantations at this site require passage through the filters of the liver and lung. In addition, the intramuscular growth of cysts is hindered by the muscle's contractility and lactic acid content. We report a primary solitary intramuscular hydatid was presented to an 8-year-old boy. The diagnosis was made preoperatively with magnetic resonance imaging. Patients were treated with surgical excision and subtotal pericystectomy.

description: We have discovered an X-ray jet with Chandra imaging of the z=1.187 radio-loud quasar PKS1127-145. In this paper we present the Chandra X-ray data, follow-up VLA observations, and optical imaging using the HST WFPC2. The X-ray jet contains 273+/-5 net counts in 27ksec and extends ~30 arcsec, from the quasar core, corresponding to a minimum projected linear size of ~330/h_50 kpc. The evaluation of the X-ray emission processes is complicated by the observed offsets between X-ray and radio brightness peaks. We discuss the problems posed by these observations to jet models. In addition, PKS1127-145 is a Giga-Hertz Peaked Spectrum radio source, a member of the class of radio sources suspected to be young or ``frustrated'' versions of FRI radio galaxies. However the discovery of an X-ray and radio jet extending well outside the host galaxy of PKS1127-145 suggests that activity in this and other GPS sources may be long-lived and complex.

Early-type galaxies in low-density environments: NGC 6876 explored through its globular cluster system

description: We present the results of a photometric study of the early-type galaxy NGC 6876 and the surrounding globular cluster system (GCS). The host galaxy is a massive elliptical, the brightest of this type in the Pavo Group. According to its intrinsic brightness (M_v~-22.7), it is expected to belong to a galaxy cluster instead of a poor group. Observational material consists of g', r', i' images obtained with the Gemini/GMOS camera. The selected globular cluster (GC) candidates present a clear bimodal colour distribution at different galactocentric radii, with mean colours and dispersions for the metal-poor ("blue") and metal-rich ("red") typical of old GCs. The red subpopulation dominates close to the galaxy centre, in addition to the radial projected distribution showing that they are more concentrated towards the galaxy centre. The azimuthal projected distribution shows an overdensity in the red subpopulation in the direction of a trail observed in X-ray that could be evidence of interactions with its spiral neighbour NGC 6872. The turn-over of the luminosity function gives an estimated distance modulus (m - M)~ 33.5 and the total population amounts to 9400 GCs, i.e. a quite populous system. The halo mass obtained using the number ratio (i.e. the number of GCs with respect to the baryonic and dark mass) gives a total of ~10^13, meaning it is a very massive galaxy, given the environment.

description: We develop the basis of the two dimensional generalized quantum statistical systems by using results on $r$-generalized Fibonacci sequences. According to the spin value $s$ of the 2d-quasiparticles, we distinguish four classes of quantum statistical systems indexed by $ s=0,1/2:mod(1)$, $s=1/M:mod(1)$, $s=n/M:mod(1)$ and $0\leq s\leq 1:mod(1)$. For quantum gases of quasiparticles with $s=1/M:mod(1)$, $M\geq 2,$, we show that the statistical weights densities $ρ_M$ are given by the integer hierarchies of Fibonacci sequences. This is a remarkable result which envelopes naturally the Fermi and Bose statistics and may be thought of as an alternative way to the Haldane interpolating statistical method.
