description: We present a first determination of distances and extinctions for individual stars in the first release of the APOKASC catalogue, built from the joint efforts of the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE) and the Kepler Asteroseismic Science Consortium (KASC). Our method takes into account the spectroscopic constraints derived from the APOGEE Stellar Parameters and Chemical Abundances Pipeline, together with the asteroseismic parameters from KASC. These parameters are then employed to estimate intrinsic stellar properties, including absolute magnitudes, using the Bayesian tool PARAM. We then find the distance and extinction that best fit the observed photometry in SDSS, 2MASS, and WISE passbands. The first 1989 giants targeted by APOKASC are found at typical distances between 0.5 and 5 kpc, with individual uncertainties of just ~1.8 per cent. Our extinction estimates are systematically smaller than provided in the Kepler Input Catalogue and by the Schlegel, Finkbeiner and Davis maps. Distances to individual stars in the NGC 6791 and NGC 6819 star clusters agree to within their credible intervals. Comparison with the APOGEE red clump and SAGA catalogues provide another useful check, exhibiting agreement with our measurements to within a few percent. Overall, present methods seem to provide excellent distance and extinction determinations for the bulk of the APOKASC sample. Approximately one third of the stars present broad or multiple-peaked probability density functions and hence increased uncertainties. Uncertainties are expected to be reduced in future releases of the catalogue, when a larger fraction of the stars will have seismically-determined evolutionary status classifications.

description: We present a general construction for exact analytic Taylor states in axisymmetric toroidal geometries. In this construction, the Taylor equilibria are fully determined by specifying the aspect ratio, elongation, and triangularity of the desired plasma geometry. For equilibria with a magnetic X-point, the location of the X-point must also be specified. The flexibility and simplicity of these solutions make them useful for verifying the accuracy of numerical solvers and for theoretical studies of Taylor states in laboratory experiments.

description: This study investigated the link between teacher expectations and student learning, relying on longitudinal data from 64 classrooms and 1026 first-grade students in Germany. Further, based on a subsample of 19 classrooms with 354 students, we explored the mediating role of three characteristics of teacher feedback rated in video-recorded school lessons. The results showed that teacher expectations were inaccurate to some extent; that is, they did not entirely agree with students' current achievement, general cognitive abilities and motivations. In addition, this inaccuracy in teacher expectations significantly predicted students’ end-of-year achievement, even after prior achievement, general cognitive abilities, motivation, and student background characteristics were considered. Specifically, inaccurately high teacher expectations were associated with greater achievement in reading and mathematics, whereas inaccurately low teacher expectations were associated with lower achievement in reading only. Furthermore, teacher feedback varied significantly with inaccurate teacher expectations but did not substantially mediate teacher expectancy effects.
Modification of particle-laden near-wall turbulence: effect of Stokes number

Subjects: subject: Fluid Dynamics (physics.flu-dyn)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Turbulent channel flows laden with particles are investigated using direct numerical simulation with a point-force approximation for small, heavy particles with a diameter smaller than the Kolmogorov length scale of the fluid. The Stokes numbers based on the wall units considered in our study are $St^+=0.5, 5, 35$ and 125. The main purpose of this study is to examine the effect of Stokes number on turbulence modification in a channel. We found that particles with $St^+=0.5$ enhance turbulence by increasing the occurrence of quasistreamwise vortices, while larger-Stokes-number particles attenuate turbulence. When $St^+=0.5$, kinetic energy is transferred from the particles to streamwise fluid velocity fluctuations in the high-speed regions and low-speed streaks, which may increase the instability of the low-speed streaks responsible for the birth of new quasistreamwise vortices. On the other hand, the preferential concentration of larger-Stokes-number particles in low-speed streaks is responsible for turbulence attenuation, and the slow response of the particles to the fluid produces feedback against the fluid velocity associated with quasistreamwise vortices.

description: Background While witnessing the suffering of other people results in personal distress, it is not clear whether regulating others’ emotions in such situations also comes at an emotional cost for the observer. Methods This study included 62 subjects and used a newly developed functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) paradigm to investigate mechanisms of self and other emotion regulation via reappraisal while the subject and an interaction partner outside the scanner were facing the same distressing situation simultaneously. The relationship between distress levels and individual differences in emotional and cognitive empathy were also assessed. Results We found that individuals exhibited especially high levels of personal distress when relating with a partner while both being exposed to aversive photographs and that especially highly empathetic individuals were prone to such personal distress. Moreover, when engaging in social emotion regulation, personal distress was reduced in the observer at a similar rate as in self emotion regulation. FMRI analyses revealed increased activation for other vs. self emotion regulation in the precuneus and the left temporo-parietal junction, which are commonly engaged in social cognition. Furthermore, this activation was associated with lower self-reported stress and decreased sympathetic autonomic activity. While regulating others, precuneus activation exhibited a distinctive functional connectivity profile with parietal emotion regulation regions. Conclusions This study demonstrates benefits of actively regulating another person's emotions for reducing one's own distress and identifies the precuneus as an important node for social emotion regulation. Given the novelty of the study design, the results are of exploratory and preliminary nature.

description: Deep structure of the crust and upper mantle of the northern, mainly Archaean part of the Fennoscandian shield, is poorly known, as the number of permanent seismic stations and controlled-source seismic profiles there has been always significantly lower compared to its southwestern part. However, even these rare studies showed that the upper mantle there is heterogeneous and seismically anisotropic. In order improve this knowledge, a temporary seismic array was installed in May 2007, and operated until September 2009. The array was a part of POLENET multidisciplinary project during the InternationalPolar Year. The research aims to obtain a 3D seismic model of the crust and upper mantle down to 670 km (P- and S-wave velocity models, position of major boundaries in the crust and upper mantle and estimates of seismic anisotropy strength and orientation) in northern Fennoscandian Shield. An important part of the LAPNET project is study of regional and local seismic events. In northern Fennoscandia, local seismic events are quarry blasts and weak earthquakes originating from re-activated ancient fault zones. These events can be used to create a 3-D velocity model of the crust, which is a necessary constraint in all studies using waves from teleseismic events. We present the first results of LAPNET seismic array research. The POLENET/LAPNET array was in operation from 01.05.2008 to 31.09.2009.The array consisted of 36 temporary stations deployed in northern Finland, Finnmark area of Norway and northern Karelia (Russia) and seismic stations of several permanent networks in Finland, Sweden and Norway. The POLENET/LAPNET data set includes: 1) Continuous data of selected permanent seismic networks in the territory of northern Fennoscandia that have the status of the DATA USED BY the IPY: a) Northern Finland Seismological Network (stations: OUL,SGF,MSF,RNF) b) Helsinki University Seismic Network (Finland) (stations: KU6,VRF,HEF,KEV,KIF) c) Swedish National Seismological Network (stations: KUR,NIK,MAS,DUN,LAN,PAJ,ERT,SAL,KAL,HAR) d) station ARC0 (NORSAR, Norway) e) Station KTK of the University of Bergen (Norway). Continuous data from these stations is not all available from the European seismic data centre ORFEUS, but will be specifically prepared for distribution in association with the LAPNET/POLENET experiment. 2) Continuous data of temporary seismic array installed on the territory of northern Finland, northwestern Russia and Finnmark area of Norway.

description: We report an infrared spectroscopy study of a 200 nm thick FeSe$_{0.5}$Te$_{0.5}$ film grown on LaAlO$_3$ with T$_c$=13.7 K. We analyze the 20 K normal state absolute reflectance R$_N$ measured over a broad infrared range and the reflectance ratio R$_S$/R$_N$, R$_S$ being the superconducting state reflectance, measured at 6 K in the terahertz range down to 12 cm$^{-1}$. We show that the normal state model conductivity is given by two Drude components, one of which much broader and intense than the other. In the superconducting state, we find that a gap $Δ$=37$\pm$3 cm$^{-1}$ opens up in the narrow Drude band only, while the broad Drude band results to be ungapped, at least in the explored spectral range. Our results show that only a two-band model can coherently describe both normal and superconducting state data.

description: A monoid $M$ is called surjunctive if every injective cellular automata with finite alphabet over $M$ is surjective. We show that all finite monoids, all finitely generated commutative monoids, all cancellative commutative monoids, all residually finite monoids, all finitely generated linear monoids, and all cancellative one-sided amenable monoids are surjunctive. We also prove that every limit of marked surjunctive monoids is itself surjunctive. On the other hand, we show that the bicyclic monoid and, more generally, all monoids containing a submonoid isomorphic to the bicyclic monoid are non-surjunctive.

description: In a recent paper we showed how Starobinsky-like inflation could emerge from dilaton dynamics in brane cosmology scenarios based on string theory, in which our universe is represented as a three-brane and the effective potential acquires a constant term from a density of effectively point-like non-perturbative defects on the brane: "D-particles". Here we explore how quantum fluctuations of the ensemble of D-particles during the inflationary period may modify the effective inflationary potential due to the dilaton. We then discuss two specific ways in which an enhanced ratio of tensor to scalar perturbations may arise: via either a condensate of vector fields with a Born-Infeld action that may be due to such recoil fluctuations, or graviton production in the D-particle vacuum.

description: An experimental system is established to investigate the flow separation characteristics of a supersonic planar nozzle in water environment The intermittent reciprocating motions of separation shock, the tilt of jet patterns caused by asymmetric separation and the side-to-side swings of the jet axis have been observed. Furthermore, the separated flow of an over-expanded parabolic nozzle operating in water is numerically studied. The gas-liquid separation accompanied by shock-induced flow separation has been observed in the nozzle. It is found that there are transitions between different flow separation patterns, and the separation point is continuously oscillating. These phenomena are attributed to pressure fluctuations caused by the unsteady behavior of the gas-liquid interface.

description: Cities are a social construct in which the well-being of subjects is determined by economic capital. The cities are also the expression of social inequality of people who live there. In cities the social and economic condition determines the social status of individuals. If we want to discuss an equal, inclusive and active city, we must define the parameters of a society in which the subjects have the same opportunities and the same possibilities. The concept of social justice is empty if it does not envisage social actions that can guarantee cities a equality and a sustainable social, economic and environmental development. In this context the subject feels recognized as a person and a citizen who participates in social life.This work aims to illustrate with the concepts of social justice and sustainability how cities can achieve the goals supported by the ONU goal for 2030 of making cities not only more sustainable but also inclusive and equal. The first theoretical paragraphs will explain the thesis of the link between social justice and sustainability by analyzing the cities and their development and in the empirical part, will be verified, the theoretical part, with some data of such statements.

POST CHAMBER IN HYBRID ROCKET

description: The post-chamber in hybrid rocket is a room for inducing an enthalpy increase, but it is related to triggering the mechanism leading to low-frequency combustion instability (lO0Hz). Meanwhile, low frequency instability (LFI) is also commonly observed in paraffin wax combustion at the supercritical phase where the surface tension disappears. In this study, it was assumed that the LFI of paraffin wax combustion in the supercritical phase is also the result of mutual interference between turbulent flow and additional combustion. The present study aims to validate these assumptions by conducting a series of combustion tests and visualizing combustions in the post chamber.

description: Having in view the study of a version of Gel'fand-Neumark duality adapted to the context of Alain Connes' spectral triples, in this very preliminary review, we first present a description of the relevant categories of geometrical spaces, namely compact Hausdorff smooth finite-dimensional orientable Riemannian manifolds (or more generally Hermitian bundles of Clifford modules over them); we give some tentative definitions of the relevant categories of algebraic structures, namely "propagators" and "spectral correspondences" of commutative Riemannian spectral triples; and we provide a construction of functors that associate a naive morphism of spectral triples to every smooth (totally geodesic) map. The full construction of spectrum functors (reconstruction theorem for morphisms) and a proof of duality between the previous "geometrical' and "algebraic" categories are postponed to subsequent works, but we provide here some hints in this direction. We also show how the previous categories of "propagators" of commutative C*-algebras embed in the mildly non-commutative environments of categories of suitable Hilbert C*-bimodules, factorizable over commutative C*-algebras, with composition given by internal tensor product.

description: BackgroundInflammation plays an important role in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD) through over-activation of microglia, which consequently causes the excessive production of proinflammatory and neurotoxic factors, and impacts surrounding neurons and eventually induces neurodegeneration. Hence, prevention of microglial over-activation has been shown to be a prime target for the development of therapeutic agents for inflammation-mediated neurodegenerative diseases.MethodsFor in vitro studies, mesencephalic neuron-glia cultures and reconstituted cultures were used to investigate the molecular mechanism by which FLZ, a squamosamide derivative, mediates anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects in both lipopolysaccharide-(LPS)- and 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium-(MPP+)-mediated models of PD. For in vivo studies, a 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1, 2, 3, 6-tetrahydropyridine-(MPTP-) induced PD mouse model was used.ResultsFLZ showed potent efficacy in protecting dopaminergic (DA) neurons against LPS-induced neurotoxicity, as shown in rat and mouse primary mesencephalic neuronal-glial cultures by DA uptake and tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) immunohistochemical results. The neuroprotective effect of FLZ was attributed to a reduction in LPS-induced microglial production of proinflammatory factors such as superoxide, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). Mechanistic studies revealed that the anti-inflammatory properties of FLZ were mediated through inhibition of NADPH oxidase (PHOX), the key microglial superoxide-producing enzyme. A critical role for PHOX in FLZ-elicited neuroprotection was further supported by the findings that 1) FLZ's protective effect was reduced in cultures from PHOX-/- mice, and 2) FLZ inhibited LPS-induced translocation of the cytosolic subunit of p47PHOX to the membrane and thus inhibited the activation of PHOX. The neuroprotective effect of FLZ demonstrated in primary neuronal-glial cultures was further substantiated by an in vivo study, which showed that FLZ significantly protected against MPTP-induced DA neuronal loss, microglial activation and behavioral changes.ConclusionTaken together, our results clearly demonstrate that FLZ is effective in protecting against LPS- and MPTP-induced neurotoxicity, and the mechanism of this protection appears to be due, at least in part, to inhibition of PHOX activity and to prevention of microglial activation.

description: The recycled pulsar PSR J2222-0137 is one of the closest known neutron stars, with a parallax distance of $267_{-0.9}^{+1.2}\,$pc and an edge-on orbit. We measure the Shapiro delay in the system through pulsar timing with the Green Bank Telescope, deriving a low pulsar mass ($1.20\pm0.14$ $M_\odot$) and a high companion mass ($1.05\pm0.06$ $M_\odot$) consistent with either a low-mass neutron star or a high-mass white dwarf. We can largely reject the neutron star hypothesis on the basis of the system's extremely low eccentricity (3e-4) - too low to have been the product of two supernovae under normal circumstances. However, despite deep optical and near-infrared searches with SOAR and the Keck telescopes we have not discovered the optical counterpart of the system. This is consistent with the white dwarf hypothesis only if the effective temperature is <3000 K, a limit that is robust to distance, mass, and atmosphere uncertainties. This would make the companion to PSR J2222-0137 one of the coolest white dwarfs ever observed. For the implied age to be consistent with the age of the Milky Way requires the white dwarf to have already crystallized and entered the faster Debye-cooling regime.

description: Backgroundβ-Amyloid peptide (Aβ) is a major protein in the brain associated with Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of macrophage antigen-1 (MAC1) receptor, an integrin scavenger receptor in microglia, and subsequent signaling events in mediating Aβ-induced neurotoxicity. We have previously reported that NADPH oxidase (PHOX) on microglia and superoxide produced by PHOX are critical for Aβ-induced loss of dopaminergic neurons. However, the upstream signaling pathway of superoxide production remains unclear.MethodsFor the in vitro study, mesencephalic neuron-glia cultures and microglia-enriched cultures from mice deficient in the MAC1 receptor (MAC1-/-) and wild type controls were used to investigate the role of MAC1 receptor in Aβ-induced neurotoxicity and the role of phosphoinositide-3 kinase (PI3K) in the signal pathway between MAC1 receptor and PHOX. For the in vivo study, Aβ was injected into the substantia nigra of MAC1-/- mice and wild type mice to confirm the role of MAC1 receptor.ResultsWe found that Aβ-induced activation of microglia, activation of PHOX, generation of superoxide and other reactive oxygen species, and loss of dopaminergic neurons were decreased in MAC1-/- cultures compared to MAC1+/+ cultures. In MAC1-/- mice, dopaminergic neuron loss in response to Aβ injection into the substantia nigra was reduced relative to MAC1+/+ mice. Thus, MAC1 receptor-mediated PHOX activation and increased superoxide production are associated with Aβ-induced neurotoxicity. PI3K activation was one downstream step in MAC1 signaling to PHOX and played an important role in Aβ-induced neurotoxicity. In microglia-enriched cultures from MAC1-/- mice, Aβ-induced activation of PI3K (phosphorylation of target proteins and PIP3 production) was reduced relative to MAC1+/+ cultures.ConclusionsTaken together, our data demonstrate that Aβ activates MAC1 receptor to increase the activity of PI3K, which in turn phosphorylates p47phox, triggers the translocation of cytosolic subunits of PHOX to microglia membrane, increases PHOX activation and the subsequent production of superoxide and causes neurotoxicity.

Experimental evaluation of a patient specific Brachio-Cephalic Arterio Venous Fistula (AVF): Velocity flow conditions under steady and pulsatile waveforms

description: Arterio-Venous Fistulas (AVF) are the most popular form of vascular access used for hemodialysis. However they continue to present complications leading to early and late failure. To understand the reasons for failure, it is necessary to analyze the hemodynamics involved. Wall shear stress (WSS) is commonly studied in AVFs as it often relates to cardiovascular disease, although there is dispute over whether high or low WSS is detrimental to AVF patency. The goal of this paper is to investigate velocity flow conditions in a rigid, patient-specific brachio-ce?phalic AVF model in both steady flow (Re = 1817) and patient-specific pulsatile flow (Reav = 1817, Remax = 2233). Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) measurements were performed at the anastomosis to capture the com?plex 3D-3C flow present. The results from this study found regions of recirculation and high velocity fluctuations in the distal artery and proximal vein, and flow impingement at the anastomosis toe. Steady and pulsatile flow demonstrated similar flow features, possibly owed to the low pulsatility index. In addition, the recirculation zone did not vary along the waveform. The directional variability was seen to be the highest at the regions of recirculation and flow impingement suggesting regions of high transWSS while the coefficient of variation was greatest at the walls and in areas of flow separation indicating high temporal wall shear stress.

description: Reusing poor quality data has limited value. When developing the requirements for the AIDAVAcuration virtual assistant, data users repeatedly asked the same question: how reliable the data is.The answer differs depending on the state of the data: i) for data sources, a quality label can beestablished based on the quality level provided by the data holder — if available — including thecredentials of the persons who created and validated the data; ii) for the curated data (i.e. the PHKG),the quality label will be linked to the quality from the source, the level of quality and certification ofthe curation tools used during transformation, the level of health and literacy of the humans whoprovided answers when there were semantic gaps, and the number of data quality checks that couldnot be resolved; iii) for published data, the quality label will be linked to the level of the curated data,the compliance with the target format, the completeness of the content, the absence of bias as wellas the quality, reliability and certification of the imputation algorithm, if applicable.This document provides a detailed overview of AIDAVA deliverable 4.6, focusing on data quality andmetadata across the health data life cycle. This deliverable serves as a key component in AIDAVA,aimed at developing a comprehensive data quality assessment methodology. This methodology iscrucial for ensuring the reliability, transparency, and effective reuse of health data. The documenthighlights the importance of maintaining high standards of health data quality and incorporates dataquality dimensions, methodologies, and tools. Furthermore, deliverable 4.6 is linked with otherintegral parts of the project, namely deliverables 1.3 (Business requirements for R1) [1], 1.4(Definition of assessment study including test scenarios & metrics, and study initiation package) [2] ,2.1 (Global data sharing standard) [3], and 2.2 (Details on data curation & publishing process)(deliverable on request). These deliverables introduce SHACL (Shapes Constraint Language) rules andspecific data quality guidelines, contributing for establishing data quality practices.
