description: Most oligonucleotide bioanalytical assays currently only quantify the pharmacologically-active antisense strand, though there have been recent efforts to simultaneously quantify the sense strand using hybridization ELISA or solid phase extraction LC-MS. Hybrid LC-MS, which offers both high sensitivity and specificity unlike the currently used platforms, has not been applied to quantify both siRNA strands simultaneously. A hybrid LC-MS assay utilizing LNA capture probes was developed and applied to quantify both strands of a 21-mer lipid-conjugated siRNA (SIR-3) using tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS). A similar approach using high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) was also evaluated. The final LC-MS/MS method was capable of quantifying both strands of SIR-3 at concentrations between 0.600 and 1000 ng/mL in cynomolgus monkey tissue homogenates with acceptable accuracy and precision. The LC-HRMS assay demonstrated similar sensitivity and assay performance as the LC-MS/MS assay. Overall, this manuscript presents orthogonal methods to existing siRNA bioanalytical workflows that with high sensitivity and specificity can provide greater information about the concentration and biotransformation of an siRNA analyte.

description: Once superpartners are discovered at colliders, the next challenge will be to determine the parameters of the supersymmetric Lagrangian. We illustrate how the relative phases of the gluino, SU(2), and U(1) gauginos and the Higgsino mass parameter mu can be measured at a hadron collider without ad hoc assumptions about the underlying physics, focusing on Fermilab. We also discuss how the gluino and LSP masses can be measured.

description: We propose a novel criterion for evaluating user input for human-robot interfaces for known tasks. We use the mode insertion gradient (MIG)---a tool from hybrid control theory---as a filtering criterion that instantaneously assesses the impact of user actions on a dynamic system over a time window into the future. As a result, the filter is permissive to many chosen strategies, minimally engaging, and skill-sensitive---qualities desired when evaluating human actions. Through a human study with 28 healthy volunteers, we show that the criterion exhibits a low, but significant, negative correlation between skill level, as estimated from task-specific measures in unassisted trials, and the rate of controller intervention during assistance. Moreover, a MIG-based filter can be utilized to create a shared control scheme for training or assistance. In the human study, we observe a substantial training effect when using a MIG-based filter to perform cart-pendulum inversion, particularly when comparing improvement via the RMS error measure. Using simulation of a controlled spring-loaded inverted pendulum (SLIP) as a test case, we observe that the MIG criterion could be used for assistance to guarantee either task completion or safety of a joint human-robot system, while maintaining the system's flexibility with respect to user-chosen strategies.

description: Potassium cations play many important roles in living organisms, especially in electro-physiology, since they are involved in neurotransmission and muscle contractions. We report the synthesis of a ratiometric fluorescent microsensor for potassium (K+) detection, based on the fluorescent probe ION potassium green 4. Potassium-sensitive fluorescent microparticles were obtained by using silica as core material. We obtained silica-based microsensors with a size in the micrometer range, spherical shape, good monodispersity, optimal selectivity and a sensitivity range between 0 to 40 mM. The microsensors also proved to be non-toxic in cell cultures as well as suitable for fluorescent imaging, offering new possibilities for non-invasive optical detection, quantification and in situ monitoring of K+ variations in cell culture systems.

description: Objective: The present study aims to quantify the effects of texting and driver behavior on the accident risk associated with a sudden event. Further, the study attempts to compare the effects of driving behavior of inexperienced young and professional drivers on risk during predetection and postdetection phases of the event. Methods: Forty-nine drivers from 2 categories—inexperienced young drivers and experienced professional drivers—took part in simulated experiments. The participants drove in a free-flow road environment under 3 driving conditions: no distraction (baseline) and writing short and long texts while driving. The participants were exposed to a sudden hazardous event during each drive. Accident probability during the sudden event was modeled with a generalized linear mixed model (with a logit link function). Results: As expected, both texting tasks increased accident risk, and the risk was much higher for inexperienced young drivers than for professional drivers. Time lapsed in reducing speed increased the odds for accident risk significantly. A comparative analysis of the driver categories showed that impairment in driving behavior due to the texting tasks was similar for both groups during the predetection phase. However, the risk associated with the texting tasks was higher for young drivers during the postdetection phase. A possible reason could be that young drivers had 65% and 75% higher approach speeds (than the professional drivers) during the short and long text tasks, respectively. Conclusions: The results provide statistical evidence that increased speed is expressed as increased risk-taking behavior among young drivers, which subsequently is the main reason for their higher accident risk during texting tasks. Moreover, the results confirm that professional drivers are not able to mitigate the increased accident risk associated with texting tasks due to late detection of the event during the tasks.

description: The proposed Smart Attendance System aims to revolutionize traditional attendance management methods by leveraging theInception v3 model and Haar Cascade Algorithm for efficient and accurate attendance tracking. By utilizing machine learning-based object detection techniques, the system can detect faces from images captured by a camera in real-time. Once faces are detected, facial recognition algorithms are applied to match them with a pre-existing database of authorized individuals, enabling accurate identification and recording of attendance. This approach eliminates the need for manual intervention, minimizing errors associated with entering the data manually. Overall, the implementation of this system promises to streamline attendance management processes, improve efficiency, and ensure accountability across various institutions and sectors.

description: Fluorescence imaging allows for non-invasively visualizing and measuring key physiological parameters like pH and dissolved oxygen. In our work, we created two ratiometric fluorescent microsensors designed for accurately tracking dissolved oxygen levels in 3D cell cultures. We developed a simple and cost-effective method to produce hybrid core-shell silica microparticles that are biocompatible and versatile. These sensors incorporate oxygen-sensitive probes (Ru(dpp) or PtOEP) and reference dyes (RBITC or A647 NHS-Ester). SEM analysis confirmed efficient loading and distribution of the sensing dye on the outer shell. Fluorimetric and CLSM tests demonstrated the sensors' reversibility and high sensitivity to oxygen, even when integrated into 3D scaffolds. Aging and bleaching experiments validated the stability of our hybrid core-shell silica microsensors for 3D monitoring. The Ru(dpp)-RBITC microparticles showed the most promising performance, especially in a pancreatic cancer model using alginate microgels. By employing computational segmentation, we generated 3D oxygen maps during live cell imaging, revealing oxygen gradients in the extracellular matrix and indicating a significant decrease in oxygen levels characteristic of solid tumors. Notably, after 12 hours, the oxygen concentration dropped to a hypoxic level of PO2 2.7 +/- 0.1%.

description: The quest to discover exoplanets is one of the most important missions in astrophysics, and is widely performed using the transit method, which allows for the detection of exoplanets down to the size of Mercury. However, to confirm these detections, additional vetting is mandatory. We selected six K2 targets from campaigns #1 to #8 that show transit light curves corresponding to Earth-sized to Neptune-sized exoplanets. We aim to discard some scenarios that could mimic an exoplanetary transit, leading to a misinterpretation of the data. We performed direct imaging observations using the SPHERE/VLT instrument to probe the close environment of these stars. For five of the K2 targets, we report no detection and we give the detection limits. For EPIC 206011496, we detect a 0.38 $\pm$ 0.06 $M_{\odot}$ companion at a separation of 977.12 $\pm$ 0.73 mas (140.19 $\pm$ 0.11 au). The spectral analysis corresponds to an M4-7 star, and the analysis of the proper motion shows that it is bounded to the primary star. EPIC 206011496 also hosts an Earth-like planetary candidate. If it transits the primary star, its radius is consistent with that of a super-Earth. However, if it transits the companion star, it falls into the mini-Neptune regime.

description: This paper proposed LightSleepNet - a light-weight, 1-d Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) based personalized architecture for real-time sleep staging, which can be implemented on various mobile platforms with limited hardware resources. The proposed architecture only requires an input of 30s single-channel EEG signal for the classification. Two residual blocks consisting of group 1-d convolution are used instead of the traditional convolution layers to remove the redundancy in the CNN. Channel shuffles are inserted into each convolution layer to improve the accuracy. In order to avoid over-fitting to the training set, a Global Average Pooling (GAP) layer is used to replace the fully connected layer, which further reduces the total number of the model parameters significantly. A personalized algorithm combining Adaptive Batch Normalization (AdaBN) and gradient re-weighting is proposed for unsupervised domain adaptation. A higher priority is given to examples that are easy to transfer to the new subject, and the algorithm could be personalized for new subjects without re-training. Experimental results show a state-of-the-art overall accuracy of 83.8% with only 45.76 Million Floating-point Operations per Second (MFLOPs) computation and 43.08 K parameters.

description: High mobility, strong spin-orbit coupling, and large Landé g-factor make the two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) in InAs quantum wells grown on nearly-lattice-matched GaSb substrates an attractive platform for mesoscopic quantum transport experiments. Successful operation of mesoscopic devices relies on three key properties: electrical isolation from the substrate; ability to fully deplete the 2DEG and control residual sidewall conduction with lithographic gates; and high mobility to ensure ballistic transport over mesoscopic length scales. Simultaneous demonstration of these properties has remained elusive for InAs 2DEGs on GaSb substrates. Here we report on heterostructure design, molecular beam epitaxy growth, and device fabrication that result in high carrier mobility and full 2DEG depletion with minimal residual edge conduction. Our results provide a pathway to fully-controlled 2DEG-based InAs mesoscopic devices.

description: We have analyzed the differences in positions of 9081 matched sources between the Gaia DR2 and VLBI catalogues. The median position uncertainty of matched sources in the VLBI catalogue is a factor of two larger than the median position uncertainty in the Gaia DR2. There are 9% matched sources with statistically significant offsets between both catalogues. We found that reported positional errors should be re-scaled by a factor of 1.3 for VLBI and 1.06 for Gaia, and in addition, Gaia errors should be multiplied by the square root of chi square per degree of freedom in order to best fit the normalized position differences to the Rayleigh distribution. We have established that the major contributor to statistically significant position offsets is the presence of optical jets. Among the sources for which the jet direction was determined, the position offsets are parallel to the jet directions for 62% of the outliers. Among the matched sources with significant proper motion, the fraction of objects with proper motion directions parallel to jets is a factor of 3 greater than on average. Such sources have systematically higher chi square per degree of freedom. We explain these proper motions as a manifestation of the source position jitter caused by flares that we have predicted earlier. Therefore, the assumption that quasars are fixed points and therefore, differential proper motions determined with respect to quasar photocenters can be regarded as absolute proper motions, should be treated with a great caution.

Why Does NGC 1068 Have a More Powerful Active Galactic Nucleus than NGC 4258 ?

description: The nuclear gas kinematics probed by water vapor maser emission has shown that two nearby active galaxies, NGC 1068 and NGC 4258, have a supermassive object in their nuclei and their masses are nearly comparable; a few 10^7 solar masses. Nevertheless, the activity of the central engine of NGC 1068 is more powerful by two orders of magnitude than that of NGC 4258. Since it is generally considered that the huge luminosities of active galactic nuclei are attributed to the mass accretion onto a supermassive black hole, the above observational results suggest that the accretion rate in NGC 1068 is much higher than that in NGC 4258. Comparing the kinematical properties of the accreting molecular clouds between NGC 1068 and NGC 4258, we find possible evidence for dynamical gas accretion in NGC 1068, which may be responsible for the more powerful central engine in this galaxy.

We present a supercoset construction of $\mathbb{CP}^3$ to obtain this gravity dual theory as a Yang-Baxter deformation. This is done by selecting a convenient combination of Cartan generators in order to get an Abelian $r$-matrix satisfying the classical Yang-Baxter equation. Our results provide another illustration of the relation between Abelian $r$-matrices and TsT transformations.

Self-duality in Super D3-brane Action

description: We establish self-duality of super D3-brane theory as an exact symmetry of the action both in the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formalism. In the Lagrangian formalism, the action is shown to satisfy the Gaillard-Zumino condition. This algebraic relation is recognized in our previous paper to be a necessary and sufficient condition for generic action of U(1) gauge field strength coupled with gravity and matters to be self-dual. For the super D3-brane action, SO(2) duality transformation of a world-volume gauge field should be associated with SO(2) rotation of fermionic brane coordinates in N=2 SUSY multiplet. This SO(2) duality symmetry is lifted to SL(2,R) symmetry in the presence of a dilaton and an axion background fields. In the canonical formalism, we show that the duality rotation is described by a canonical transformation, and the Hamiltonian of the D3-brane action is invariant under the transformation.

description: X-ray observations of merging clusters provide many examples of bow shocks leading merging subclusters. While the Mach number of a shock can be estimated from the observed density jump using Rankine-Hugoniot condition, it reflects only the velocity of the shock itself and is generally not equal to the velocity of the infalling subcluster dark matter halo or to the velocity of the contact discontinuity separating gaseous atmospheres of the two subclusters. Here we systematically analyze additional information that can be obtained by measuring the standoff distance, i.e. the distance between the leading edge of the shock and the contact discontinuity that drives this shock. The standoff distance is influenced by a number of additional effects, e.g. (1) the gravitational pull of the main cluster (causing acceleration/deceleration of the infalling subcluster), (2) the density and pressure gradients of the atmosphere in the main cluster, (3) the non-spherical shape of the subcluster, and (4) projection effects. The first two effects tend to bias the standoff distance in the same direction, pushing the bow shock closer to (farther away from) the subcluster during the pre- (post-)merger stages. Particularly, in the post-merger stage, the shock could be much farther away from the subcluster than predicted by a model of a body moving at a constant speed in a uniform medium. This implies that a combination of the standoff distance with measurements of the Mach number from density/temperature jumps can provide important information on the merger, e.g. differentiating between the pre- and post-merger stages.

description: Despite technical and non-technical countermeasures, humans continue to be tricked by phishing emails. How users make email response decisions is a missing piece in the puzzle to identifying why people still fall for phishing emails. We conducted an empirical study using a think-aloud method to investigate how people make 'response decisions' while reading emails. The grounded theory analysis of the in-depth qualitative data has enabled us to identify different elements of email users' decision-making that influence their email response decisions. Furthermore, we developed a theoretical model that explains how people could be driven to respond to emails based on the identified elements of users' email decision-making processes and the relationships uncovered from the data. The findings provide deeper insights into phishing email susceptibility due to people's email response decision-making behavior. We also discuss the implications of our findings for designers and researchers working in anti-phishing training, education, and awareness interventions

description: The agricultural sector has historically been the forefront economic sector in Turkey and is crucial for the rural sustainability and the pastures that are critical for biodiversity. However, inadequate policies and factors such as climate change and malpractices result in brittle pastures, rural-urban migration, and a declining agricultural sector. Also, pastures have been left without function and appropriated to other land uses such as quarries, energy power plants, and mines. Although the husbandry sector produces significant greenhouse gas emissions, pastures have a significant capacity of CO2 sequestration. In this study, Life cycle assessment (LCA) is applied to quantify the advantages and disadvantages of the transition between extensive and intensive production. The methodology presents a holistic analysis of the several impact categories and amounts of relevant products, services, and resource emissions along their life cycles. In order to assess the environmental effects of the lamb meat production, three sheep breeding systems in Turkey are evaluated. The study aims to promote a sustainable use of natural resources/assets without compromising the quality, competitiveness, or animal welfare and obtain recommendations for the future husbandry systems and rural development in Turkey. As an overall result, it can be stated that the intensification of sheep farming can lead to a decrease of greenhouse gas emissions per kg of meat. However, extensive sheep farming shows less impacts on soil acidification or eutrophication and can even be beneficial for erosion resistance or biodiversity if properly managed.

description: Fundamental issues involving nuclei in the celebrated solar neutrino problem are discussed in terms of an effective field theory adapted to nuclear few-body systems, with a focus on the proton fusion process and the hep process. Our strategy in addressing these questions is to combine chiral perturbation theory -- an effective field theory of QCD -- with an accurate nuclear physics approach to arrive at a more effective effective field theory that reveals and exploits a subtle role of the chiral-symmetry scale in short-distance effects encoded in short-range nuclear correlations. Our key argument is drawn from the close analogy of the principal weak matrix element figuring in the hep process to the suppressed matrix elements in the polarized neutron-proton capture at threshold currently being measured in the laboratories.

Molecules such as water and carbon monoxide have been unambiguously identified in hot gas giants through cross- correlation techniques. A maximum in the cross-correlation function (CCF) is found when the molecular absorption lines in a binary mask or model template match those contained in the planet. Here, we demonstrate how the CCF method can be used to diagnose broad-band spectroscopic features such as scattering by aerosols in high-resolution transit spectra. The idea consists in exploiting the presence of multiple water bands from the optical to the near-infrared. We produced a set of models of a typical hot Jupiter spanning various conditions of temperature and aerosol coverage. We demonstrate that comparing the CCFs of individual water bands for the models constrains the presence and the properties of the aerosol layers. The contrast difference between the CCFs of two bands can reach about 100 ppm, which could be readily detectable with current or upcoming high-resolution stabilized spectrographs spanning a wide spectral range, such as ESPRESSO, CARMENES, HARPS-N+GIANO, HARPS+NIRPS, SPIRou or CRIRES+.

description: A chiral quark model is described which is regularized in terms of Lorentz invariant non-local interactions. The model is regularized to all loop orders and it ensures the proper quantization of the baryon number. It sustains bound hedgehog solitons which, after suitable centre of mass corrections, can adequately describe the nucleon.

Generalization of Anderson's Theorem for Disordered Superconductors

description: We show that at the level of BCS mean-field theory, the superconducting $T_c$ is always increased in the presence of disorder, regardless of order parameter symmetry, disorder strength, and spatial dimension. This result reflects the physics of rare events - formally analogous to the problem of Lifshitz tails in disordered semiconductors - and arises from considerations of spatially inhomogeneous solutions of the gap equation. So long as the clean-limit superconducting coherence length, $ξ_0$, is large compared to disorder correlation length, $a$, when fluctuations about mean-field theory are considered, the effects of such rare events are small (typically exponentially in $[ξ_0/a]^d$); however, when this ratio is $\sim 1$, these considerations are important. The linearized gap equation is solved numerically for various disorder ensembles to illustrate this general principle.

description: We calculate the baryon mass in N=4 large $N$ gauge theory by means of AdS/CFT correspondence and show that it is a truly bound state, at least in some situations. We find that a phase transition occurs at a critical temperature. Furthermore, we find there are bound states of W-bosons in the Higgs phase, where the gauge group is broken to SU(N_1)xSU(N_2).

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: Fusarium wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. niveum (FON) is a destructive soilborne disease commonly found in watermelon producing areas throughout the world. At present, the control of Fusarium wilt depends heavily on host resistance and chemical fungicide application. In this study, we isolated fluorescent pseudomonads from the rhizosphere of healthy watermelon and evaluated their biocontrol capacity against FON race 2. Biochemical assays indicated that all 14 fluorescent Pseudomonas strains were able to produce indole-3-acetic acid and at least one type of biosurfactants. Both sulphur oxidising and proteolytic activities were exhibited in 2 of the 14 strains. However, none of them could synthesise phenazine antibiotics. Seven strains with different morphological and biochemical characteristics were identified by sequencing the rpoB gene. Among those, one was Pseudomonas resinovorans (WMT16-1-1), two were P. putida (WMC16-1-1 and WMC16-2-5), one was P. fluorescens (WMC16-1-8) and others were Pseudomonas sp. In vitro studies indicated that WMC16-1-1, WMC16-1-8 and WMC16-2-5 inhibited mycelial growth of FON significantly. Detection of biosynthetic loci of 2,4-diacetylphloroglucinol (DAPG), pyrrolnitrin and pyoluteorin using specific primers indicated that the three strains could not produce the antibiotics. In greenhouse studies, WMC16-1-1, WMC16-1-8 and WMC16-2-5 reduced the severity of Fusarium wilt significantly with WMC16-1-1 being the most effective. Inoculation with WMC16-2-5 resulted in the significantly greater weight of both stems and roots compared to the nontreated control, while WMC16-1-1 resulted in greater stem weight. Pseudomonas strains WMC16-1-1, WMC16-1-8 and WMC16-2-5 are potential candidates for controlling Fusarium wilt and promoting the growth of watermelon.

Geophysical constraints on mirror matter within the Earth

description: We have performed a detailed investigation of geophysical constraints on the possible admixture of mirror matter inside the Earth. On the basis of the Preliminary Reference Earth Model (PREM) -- the `Standard Model' of the Earth's interior -- we have developed a method which allows one to compute changes in various quantities characterising the Earth (mass, moment of inertia, normal mode frequencies etc.)due to the presence of mirror matter. As a result we have been able to obtain for the first time the direct upper bounds on the possible concentration of the mirror matter in the Earth. In terms of the ratio of the mirror mass to the Earth mass a conservative upper bound is $3.8\times 10^{-3}$. We then analysed possible mechanisms (such as lunar and solar tidal forces, meteorite impacts and earthquakes) of exciting mirror matter oscillations around the Earth centre. Such oscillations could manifest themselves through global variations of the gravitational acceleration at the Earth's surface. We conclude that such variations are too small to be observed. Our results are valid for other types of hypothetical matter coupled to ordinary matter by gravitation only (e.g. the shadow matter of superstring theories).

description: This paper studies two variants of the best arm identification (BAI) problem under the streaming model, where we have a stream of $n$ arms with reward distributions supported on $[0,1]$ with unknown means. The arms in the stream are arriving one by one, and the algorithm cannot access an arm unless it is stored in a limited size memory.
 We first study the streaming \eps-$top$-$k$ arms identification problem, which asks for $k$ arms whose reward means are lower than that of the $k$-th best arm by at most $\eps$ with probability at least $1-δ$. For general $\eps \in (0,1)$, the existing solution for this problem assumes $k = 1$ and achieves the optimal sample complexity $O(\frac{n}{\eps^2} \log \frac{1}δ)$ using $O(\log^*(n))$ ($\log^*(n)$ equals the number of times that we need to apply the logarithm function on $n$ before the results is no more than 1.) memory and a single pass of the stream. We propose an algorithm that works for any $k$ and achieves the optimal sample complexity $O(\frac{n}{\eps^2} \log\frac{k}δ)$ using a single-arm memory and a single pass of the stream.
 Second, we study the streaming BAI problem, where the objective is to identify the arm with the maximum reward mean with at least $1-δ$ probability, using a single-arm memory and as few passes of the input stream as possible. We present a single-arm-memory algorithm that achieves a near instance-dependent optimal sample complexity within $O(\log Δ_2^{-1})$ passes, where $Δ_2$ is the gap between the mean of the best arm and that of the second best arm.
