description: In the mammalians, the 4b-4c loop of excitatory amino acid transporters (EAATs) spans more than 50 amino-acid residues that are absent in glutamate transporter homologue of Pyrococcus horikoshii (GltPh). This part of insertion is unique for metazoans and indispensable to the localization of EAATs. The excitatory amino acid transporter (EAAT) 1 is one of the two glial glutamate transporters, which are responsible for efficiently clearing glutamate from the synaptic cleft to prevent neurotoxicity and cell death. Although the crystal structure of EAAT1cryst (a human thermostable EAAT1) was resolved in 2017, the structure-function relationship of the 4b-4c loop has not been elucidated in EAAT1cryst. To investigate the role of the 4b-4c loop, we performed alanine-scanning mutagenesis in the mutants and observed dramatically decreased transport activities in T192A, Y194A, N242A, and G245A mutants. The surface expression of T192A and Y194A mutants even decreased by more than 80%, and most of them were detained in the cytoplasm. However, when T192 and Y194 were substituted with conservative residues, the transport activities and the surface expressions of T192S and Y194F were largely recovered, and their kinetic parameters (Km values) were comparable to the wild-type EAAT1 as well. In contrast, N242 and G245 substituted with conservative residues could not rescue the uptake function, suggesting that N242 and G245 may play irreplaceable roles in the glutamate uptake process. These results indicate that the 4b-4c loop of EAAT1 may not only affect the glutamate uptake activity, but also influence the surface localization of EAAT1 by T192 and Y194.

description: The color-flavor transformation, an identity that connects two integrals, each of which is over one of a dual pair of Lie groups acting in the fermionic Fock space, is extended to the case of the special unitary group. Using this extension, a toy model of lattice QCD is studied: N_f species of spinless fermions interacting with strongly coupled SU(N_c) lattice gauge fields in 1+1 dimensions. The color-flavor transformed theory is expressed in terms of gauge singlets, the meson fields, organized into sectors distinguished by the distribution of baryonic flux. A comprehensive analytical and numerical search is made for saddle-point configurations of the meson fields, with various topological charges, in the vacuum and single-baryon sectors. Two definitions of the static baryon on the square lattice, straight and zigzag, are investigated. The masses of the baryonic states are estimated using the saddle-point approximation for large N_c.

description: China, through 40 years of the economic reforms, has witnessed fast economic growth, which has been accompanied with severe environmental challenges. One of those concerns is the surface water pollution, called black-odorous water, which has occurred in almost all big rivers as well as small streams. The Sate Council of China on April 16, 2015 unveiled its first Action Plan for Water Pollution Prevention and Control, aiming at cleaning up 70% black-odorous water in major rivers and cities by 2020. However, there are several technical challenges hindering this Action Plan: 1) What are the key indicators of black-odorous water? 2) Is the traditional direct measurement approach too time-consuming and costly for quick actions; 3) Can remote-sensing techniques be used to replace or enhance the traditional direct monitoring approach? 4) Are there effective computational algorithms for using the remote sensed data to assess the severity of black-odorous water and to identify key indicators of black-odorous water? From the perspectives of remote sensing, an effective computational framework should contain the following functions: 1) examining how each water quality indicator contributes to the severity of black-odorous water; 2) identifying which wavelength reflectances closely relate to the severity of black-odorous water; and 3) assessing which wavelength reflectances complement with what water quality indicators to reveal the most sensitive responses to the severity of black-odorous water. The paper intends to develop a computational data mining framework, which innovatively integrates the data mining techniques, such as hierarchical clustering, semisupervised discriminating, factorical analysis, spatial lasso selecting and linear regression, to answer these questions. A case study in Guangzhou City, China is carried out to demonstrate the applicability of this remote sensing based black-odorous water computational monitoring framework.

description: We show that a complete set of one-bit gates can be realized by coupling the two logical states of a phase qubit to a third level (at higher energy) using microwave pulses. Thus, one can achieve coherent control without invoking any tunneling between the qubit levels. We propose two implementations, using rf-SQUIDs and d-wave Josephson junctions.

description: We develop the technique of the variational approximation for solitons in two directions. First, one may have a physical model which does not admit the usual Lagrangian representation, as some terms can be discarded for various reasons. For instance, the second-harmonic-generation (SHG) model considered here, which includes the Kerr nonlinearity, lacks the usual Lagrangian representation if one ignores the Kerr nonlinearity of the second harmonic, as compared to that of the fundamental. However, we show that, with a natural modification, one may still apply the variational approximation (VA) to those seemingly flawed systems as efficiently as it applies to their fully Lagrangian counterparts. We call such models, that do not admit the usual Lagrangian representation, \textit{semi-Lagrangian} systems. Second, we show that, upon adding an infinitesimal tail that does not vanish at infinity, to a usual soliton ansatz, one can obtain an analytical criterion which (within the framework of VA) gives a condition for finding \textit{embedded solitons}, i.e., isolated truly localized solutions existing inside the continuous spectrum of the radiation modes. The criterion takes a form of orthogonality of the radiation mode in the infinite tail to the soliton core. To test the criterion, we have applied it to both the semi-Lagrangian truncated version of the SHG model and to the same model in its full form. In the former case, the criterion (combined with VA for the soliton proper) yields an \emph{exact} solution for the embedded soliton. In the latter case, the criterion selects the embedded soliton with a relative error $\approx 1%$.

description: In this paper, we have formulated a theory for the microscopic interaction of the asymmetric Laguerre-Gaussian (aLG) beam with the atomic Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) in a harmonic trap. Here the asymmetry is introduced to an LG beam considering a complex-valued shift in the Cartesian plane keeping the axis of the beam and its vortex states co-axial to the trap axis of the BEC. Due to the inclusion of the asymmetric nature, multiple quantized circulations are generated in the beam. We show how these quantized circulations are transferred to the BEC resulting in a superposition of matter vortex states. The calculated Rabi frequencies for the dipole as well as quadrupole transitions during the transfer process show distinct variability with the shift parameters of the beam. A significant enhancement of the quadrupole Rabi frequency for higher vorticity states is observed compared to symmetric single orbital angular momentum (OAM) mode beam at a particular range of the shift parameters. We also demonstrate the variation of superposition of matter vortex states and observe its distinct feature compared to the superposition of the LG modes for different shift parameters. The first order spatial correlation of the superposed states supports this feature and highlights asymmetry in degree of transverse coherence along orthogonal directions on the surface.

description: In this paper, machine learning methods are developed to identify and classify maps from online sources. Given any image, our methods can be used to answer three questions: is it a map, which geographic region is this map about, and what projection is used in the map? A total of 1000 images are collected using Google Images to provide data for non-maps and maps that cover different geographic regions with different projections. Three machine learning methods are tested: multilayer perceptrons (MLP), support vector machine (SVM), and convolutional neural network (CNN). Each method is evaluated by how accurate it can be used to correctly identify and classify a given image. For map identification, all three methods can be used to obtain results with high accuracy, while for map classification based on region and projection, only SVM and CNN perform well.

description: We consider the amount of work which can be extracted from a heat bath using a bipartite state shared by two parties. In general it is less then the amount of work extractable when one party is in possession of the entire state. We derive bounds for this "work deficit" and calculate it explicitly for a number of different cases. For pure states the work deficit is exactly equal to the distillable entanglement of the state, and this is also achievable for maximally correlated states. In these cases a form of complementarity exists between physical work which can be extracted and distillable entanglement. The work deficit is a good measure of the quantum correlations in a state and provides a new paradigm for understanding quantum non-locality.

description: The β42 amyloid peptides (Aβ) are identified as a candidate target for Alzheimer’s drugs. Phenolic compounds can bind to the Aβ and inhibit amyloid formation. However, the inhibitory mechanism of phenolic compounds remains unclear. In this study, the molecular dynamic simulation and docking program were used to characterize the molecular details of inhibitory mechanism of the phenolic compounds. Our Results show that the phenolic compounds can bind to hydrophobic region in Aβ42 monomer and alter hydrophobic interactions network at Aβ42 which play a key role in β-sheet formation. The cluster analysis and interactions network analysis were used to probe conformational changes in Aβ42. In most populated clusters of Aβ42-phenolic compounds complexes, the sheet structures were not observed or reduced. It seems that the binding of phenolic compounds can induce larger conformational diversity for amyloid peptide and changes conformational properties of amyloid peptide. The phenolic compounds can deform β-Hairpin structure of Aβ by destabilizing salt bridges E22-K28 and D23-K28 which can alter the conformation of Aβ42 in aqueous solution. These findings are in accordance with experimental results, to some extent give a molecular level interpretation for the inhibitory mechanism of phenolic compounds .In addition, this study may add important new details to the inhibitory mechanism of Alzheimer’s drug.

description: Bayesian analysis of the radiative capture reactions $^3\mathrm{He}(α,γ)^7\mathrm{Be}$ and $^3\mathrm{H}(α,γ)^7\mathrm{Li}$ are performed to draw inferences about the cross sections at threshold. We do a model comparison of two competing effective field theory power countings for the capture reactions. The two power countings differ in the contribution of two-body electromagnetic currents. In one power counting, two-body currents contribute at leading order, and in the other they contribute at higher orders. The former is favored for $^3\mathrm{He}(α,γ)^7\mathrm{Be}$ if elastic scattering data in the incoming channel is considered in the analysis. Without constraints from elastic scattering data, both the power countings are equally favored. For $^3\mathrm{H}(α,γ)^7\mathrm{Li}$, the first power counting with two-body current contributions at leading order is favored with or without constraints from elastic scattering data.

description: The domain wall fermion formalism in lattice gauge theory is much investigated recently. This is set up by reducing 4+1 dimensional theory to low energy effective 4 dimensional one. In order to look around other possibilities of realizing chiral fermion on the lattice, we construct vortex fermion by reducing 4+2 dimensional theory to low energy effective 4 dimensional one on the lattice. In extra 2 dimensions we propose a new lattice regularization which has a discrete rotational invariance but not a translational one. In order to eliminate doubling species in the naive construction we introduce the extended Wilson term which is appropriate to our model. We propose two models for convenience and show that a normalizable zero mode solution appears at the core of the vortex.

description: El desarrollo de la sociedad digital ha puesto de relieve la necesidad de realizar grandes transformaciones en el ámbito formativo y metodológico. Este texto tiene como objetivos considerar la extensión del lenguaje visual como síntoma de las sociedades desarrolladas; reflexionar sobre el impacto del lenguaje visual en la institución escolar; y explorar la percepción que el profesorado universitario tiene sobre su uso y su potencialidad. Esto último se realiza a través de una investigación empírica. Se defiende que la extensión del lenguaje visual cambia la idea de desarrollo mantenida durante los últimos dos siglos. Se argumenta que las tecnologías que soportan gran parte del lenguaje visual modifican la relación alumno, profesor e institución escolar y que, incluso, se erigen en un tipo de poder que compite con el poder burocrático. Por último, se constata que el profesorado reconoce un mayor uso del lenguaje visual, pero sigue manteniendo una centralidad del lenguaje verbal basado en una interpretación tradicional del conocimiento.

description: The effects of rotation on stellar evolution are particularly important at low metallicity, when mass loss by stellar winds diminishes and the surface enrichment due to rotational mixing becomes relatively more pronounced than at high metallicities. Here we investigate the impact of rotation and metallicity on stellar evolution. Using a similar physics as in our previous large grids of models at Z=0.002 and Z=0.014, we compute stellar evolution models with the Geneva code for rotating and nonrotating stars with initial masses (Mini) between 1.7 and 120 Msun and Z=0.0004 (1/35 solar). This is comparable to the metallicities of the most metal poor galaxies observed so far, such as I Zw 18. Concerning massive stars, both rotating and nonrotating models spend most of their core-helium burning phase with an effective temperature higher than 8000 K. Stars become red supergiants only at the end of their lifetimes, and few RSGs are expected. Our models predict very few to no classical Wolf-Rayet stars as a results of weak stellar winds at low metallicity. The most massive stars end their lifetimes as luminous blue supergiants or luminous blue variables, a feature that is not predicted by models with higher metallicities. Interestingly, due to the behavior of the intermediate convective zone, the mass domain of stars producing pair-instability supernovae is smaller at Z=0.0004 than at Z=0.002. We find that during the main sequence phase, the ratio between nitrogen and carbon abundances (N/C) remains unchanged for nonrotating models. However, N/C increases by factors of 10-20 in rotating models at the end of the MS. Cepheids coming from stars with Mini > 4-6 Msun are beyond the core helium burning phase and spend little time in the instability strip. Since they would evolve towards cooler effective temperatures, these Cepheids should show an increase of the pulsation period as a function of age.

description: Good communication is essential within teams dealing with emergency situations. In this paper we look at communications within a resuscitation team performing cardio-pulmonary resuscitation. Communication underpins efficient collaboration, joint coordination of work, and helps to construct a mutual awareness of the situation. Poor communication wastes valuable time and can ultimately lead to life-threatening mistakes. Although training sessions frequently focus on medical knowledge and procedures, soft skills, such as communication receive less attention. This paper analyses communication problems in the case of CPR and proposes an architecture that merges a situation awareness model and the belief-desire-intention (BDI) approach in multi-agent systems. The architecture forms the basis of an agent-based simulator used to assess communication protocols in CPR teams.

EU Deforestation-free Regulation

description: When, on 29 June 2023, the EU Deforestation-free Regulation (EUDR) entered into force, it was like a small earthquake – at least for whoever was dealing with EU agricultural imports. Never before, neither in the EU nor in the rest of the world, such an ambitious anti-deforestation piece of legislation has ever been enacted. Perhaps more importantly, it was the first to directly address the leading cause of global deforestation: agriculture. The EUDR indeed completely forbids the entry into the EU market of key agricultural commodities whose production caused deforestation after a cut-off date (identified as 31 December 2020).As the EU is one of the leading importers of tropical deforestation (through agricultural commodities), the Regulation has indeed the potential to become one of the most important tools to protect global forests, and to be successful where other plans and initiatives have failed (as in the case of the UN’s REDD+ and the EU’s FLEGT). However, its approval has triggered significant protests first from key partner countries (Indonesia and Brazil in particular), which then extended to a larger share of the Global South in 2023 and even reached EU member states, the US and Australia in 2024. Opposition has been so significant that, despite having entered into force more than a year ago, its future is still unclear and there are growing chances its application will be even delayed by one or two years – the Regulation is structured in a way that is should be applied at a later stage than its entry into force, currently set for December 2024. A mix of political support and fine-tuning of the tools available for implementation will be required to guarantee the EUDR’s now uncertain success.

description: The increasing access to spatio-temporal datasets, data-driven modelling methods and computational power have transformed the way we do science. Yet most geodata-driven approaches currently disregard the spatial and temporal aspects of the data they are based on. Here we present and evaluate a hybrid machine learning approach that combines statistical mixed effects theory with the power of random forests. This approach, namely mixed-effects random forests or MERF, is used to model monthly crimes in New York City (USA). Our results show that MERF leads to lower prediction errors and to lower spatial autocorrelation in the residuals than a standard random forest model. This shows that there are approaches to mitigate the non-geocomputational nature of machine learning methods.

Метою зазначеної статті є дослідження змісту та критеріїв класифікації принципів адміністративно-правового забезпечення режиму відчуження військового майна в Україні.

Автори приходять до висновку, що в основі забезпечення режиму адміністративно-правового забезпечення відчуження військового майна лежить система загальних і спеціальних принципів, які у більшості своїй належним чином не регламентовані в адміністративному законодавстві, а, швидше, вироблені судовою практикою або виходять із змісту положень з адміністративного законодавства.

Тому вважаємо за необхідне передбачити відповідну систему принципів окремою статтею в Законі України «Про правовий режим майна у Збройних Силах України» що підвищить рівень її правового забезпечення та забезпечить правову визначеність.

description: We have calculated energy and economic balance for three sizes of ethanol-for-grain plants: 1) Single-farm size (10,000 gallons a year) 2) Farm-consortium size (250,000 gallons a year) 3) Industrial size gasohol plant (2.5 million gallons a year). Energy results are based on actual measurements during operation. Economic balances are also based on empirical materials requirements, but prices for these requirements are treated generically (e.g. we use an average price of grain, even though at least one plant studied is currently purchasing surplus seed grain at a low price. Use of energy (direct energy plus the "energy cost of energy") decreases with increasing plant size, varying between 89 thousand and 36 thousand· Btu per gallon of ethanol. Inclusion of indirect energy does not reverse this conclusion. There are also some economies of size in money terms, but these are variously offset by the price advantage which farm level operations have both in acquiring grain and in utilizing feed residue. Further complications arise from labor costs which tend to be more flexible on small than on large plants.

description: As the use of algorithms has emerged in journalism, analytic/algorithmic journalism (AJ) has seen rapid development in major news organizations. Despite this surging trend, little is known about the role and the effects of explainability on the process by which people perceive and make sense of trust in an algorithm-driven AI system. While AJ has greatly benefited from increasingly sophisticated algorithm technologies, AJ suffers from a lack of transparency and understandability for readers. We identify explainability as a heuristic cue of an algorithm and conceptualizes it in relation to trust by testing how it affects user emotion with AJ. Our experiments show that the addition of interpretable explanations leads to enhanced trust in the context of AJ and readers' trust hinges upon the perceived normative values that are used to assess algorithmic qualities. Explanations of why certain news articles are recommended give users emotional assurance and affirmation. Mediation analyses show that explanatory cues play a mediating role between trust and performance expectancy. The results have implications for the inclusion of explanatory cues in AJ, which help to increase credibility and help users to assess AJ value.

description: Urban black holes and volcanoes are typical traffic anomalies in cities. The discovery of urban black holes and volcanoes has played an important role in urban planning and public safety. It is still challenging to detect arbitrarily shaped urban black holes and volcanoes considering the network constraints with less prior knowledge. In this study, a network-constrained bivariate clustering method is proposed to detect statistically significant urban black holes and volcanoes with irregular shapes. First, an edge-expansion strategy is used to construct the network-constrained neighbourhoods without the time-consuming calculation of the network distance between each pair of objects. Then, a network-constrained spatial scan statistic is constructed to identify candidate sub-areas of urban black holes and volcanoes, which are then combined to form arbitrarily shaped urban black holes and volcanoes based on the multidirectional optimization method. Finally, the statistical significance of each detected urban black hole and volcano is evaluated using Monte Carlo simulation. The simulations demonstrate that proposed method is more effective and stable than the three state-of-the-art methods in detecting urban black holes and volcanoes. The empirical analysis of the Beijing taxicab spatial trajectory data also shows that the proposed method is useful for detecting the spatiotemporal variations of traffic anomalies.

Capnia

description: Capnia
 DIAGNOSIS: Adults of Mongolian Capnia species, unlike others throughout the Holarctic, have a distinct twopart epiproct with a simpler lower section and a more varied upper section (Fig. 40). The epiproct tapers to an apical point which is more broadly rounded in the upper section than the lower. The female subgenital plate is not produced past the margin of sternum 8. In the center of the plate is a darkly sclerotized region, generally rectangular in shape (Fig. 41). The R vein in adult wings is curved anteriorly at its origin, whereas in most other capniid genera, besides Mesocapnia, this vein is straight. Nymphs are indeterminable to genus at this time since no consistent characters have been found to separate them from Mesocapnia; although, various hair characters have been proposed for discrimination (Stewart & Stark 2002). Within the Mongolian species, head coloration may be useful though we did not have enough specimens to makecomparisons between genera and species.
 DISTRIBUTION—Global: Holarctic— Regional: AOB, IDB— Aimag: BO^, KhG, UB*, ZA.
 DISCUSSION: Based on our collections, Capnia are relatively common in Mongolia compared to other capniids.

description: Universal driving protocol for symmetry-protected Floquet topological phasesWe propose a universal driving protocol for the realization of symmetry-protected topological phases in $2+1$ dimensional Floquet systems. Our proposal is based on the theoretical analysis of the possible symmetries of a square lattice model with pairwise nearest-neighbor coupling terms. Among the eight possible symmetry operators we identify the two relevant choices for topological phases with either time-reversal, chiral, or particle-hole symmetry. From the corresponding symmetry conditions on the protocol parameters, we obtain the universal driving protocol where each of the symmetries can be realized or broken individually. We provide specific parameter values for the different cases, and demonstrate the existence of symmetry-protected copropagating and counterpropagating topological boundary states. The driving protocol especially allows us to switch between bosonic and fermionic time-reversal symmetry, and thus between a trivial and non-trivial symmetry-protected topological phase, through continuous variation of a parameter.

description: Eunausibius Grouvelle
 Eunausibius Grouvelle 1913: 314.
 Discussion. Two species originally described in Eunausibius by Parsons (1974) are transferred to Nausibius as follows: Nausibius lophius (Parsons) new combination (= Eunausibius lophius Parsons) and Nausibius salutaris (Parsons) new combination (= Eunausibius salutaris Parsons) and Eunausibius wheeleri Schwarz and Barber, is placed in Coccidotrophus (see above in this paper). The description of one new species discovered during this study makes a total of three within Eunausibius.
 Diagnosis. Body elongate, moderately cylindrical, total length within species belonging to the genus can show considerable variation; for E. jatahyensis new species, the range of the eight specimens examined (the type series) is 3.71–9.60 mm, and that of seventeen of E. elongatus 3.00– 5.43 mm. Head with deep convergent antennal grooves beneath (Fig. 101). Antenna short with first antennomere hidden beneath genal margin and a gradually to more obviously developed club of four segments. Pronotum with anterior angles not strongly developed but lateral limit either defined by an inward expansion of the lateral pronotal rim joining a short impressed line (Fig. 91, 98–99) or just a small impression on the lateral rim. Males of the three known species with a small metafemoral tooth (see Fig. 103) and metatibiae striate on proximal side. Elytra each with 9 rows of punctures forming striae or punctate striate. Striae terminating before elytral apex, 6 and 7 of equal length and shorter than rest. Eunausibius and Coccidotrophus are similar genera, for comparisons see the genus diagnosis for the latter.

Eucapnopsis

description: Eucapnopsis
 DIAGNOSIS: This genus is characterized by particularly short cerci with fewer than 11 segments in adults and less than 15 in nymphs (Fig. 28). The male epiproct is short and stout (Fig. 44), especially in comparison to other Mongolian capniids and Capnia in particular whose epiproct is of comparable width but is much longer. Male sternum 9 has a vesicle (Fig. 45) with a structure similar to the ventral vesicles in Isocapnia. The female subgenital plate is membranous with two lateral sclerites that extend medially (Fig. 46). The lacinia of the nymph has 30 or more even—length teeth (Fig. 27), whereas other capniids have fewer teeth that vary in size along the length of the ventral comb (Fig. 29).
 DISTRIBUTION—Global: Amphi-Pacific— Regional: AOB*, IDB*— Aimag: KhD*, SE*.
 DISCUSSION: We did not document Eucapnopsis during our surveys, but the species Eucapnopsis brevicauda is known from the Eroo River (Surenkhorloo 2009).

How does socio-economic and demographic dissimilarity determine physical and virtual segregation?

description: It is established that socio-economic and demographic dissimilarities between populations are determinants of spatial segregation. However, the understanding of how such dissimilarities translate into actual segregation is limited. We propose a novel network-analysis approach to comprehensively study the determinants of communicative and mobility-related spatial segregation, using geo-tagged Twitter data. Weighted spatial networks representing tie strength between geographical areas are constructed, followed by tie formation modelling as a function of socio-economic and demographic dissimilarity between areas. Physical and virtual tie formation were affected by income, age and race differences, although these effects were smaller by an order of magnitude than the distance effect. Tie formation was more frequent when ‘destination’ area had higher median income and lower median age. We hypothesise that physical tie formation is more ‘costly’ than a virtual one, resulting in stronger segregation in the physical world. Economic and cultural motives may result in stronger segregation of relatively rich and young populations from their surroundings. Our methodology can help identify types of states that lead to spatial segregation, and thus guide planning decisions for reducing its adverse effects.

description: In this paper we derive new criterion for uniform stability assessment of the linear periodic time-varying systems $\dot x=A(t)x,$ $A(t+T)=A(t).$ As a corollary, the lower and upper bounds for the Floquet characteristic exponents are established. The approach is based on the use of logarithmic norm of the system matrix $A(t).$ Finally we analyze the robustness of the stability property under external disturbance.
