description: Satellite imaging generally presents a trade-off between the frequency of acquisitions and the spatial resolution of the images. Super-resolution is often advanced as a way to get the best of both worlds. In this work, we investigate multi-image super-resolution of satellite image time series, i.e. how multiple images of the same area acquired at different dates can help reconstruct a higher resolution observation. In particular, we extend state-of-the-art deep single and multi-image super-resolution algorithms, such as SRDiff and HighRes-net, to deal with irregularly sampled Sentinel-2 time series. We introduce BreizhSR, a new dataset for 4x super-resolution of Sentinel-2 time series using very high-resolution SPOT-6 imagery of Brittany, a French region. We show that using multiple images significantly improves super-resolution performance, and that a well-designed temporal positional encoding allows us to perform super-resolution for different times of the series. In addition, we observe a trade-off between spectral fidelity and perceptual quality of the reconstructed HR images, questioning future directions for super-resolution of Earth Observation data.

description: Abstract: - Without medicinal herbs, our healthcare system would be lacking. Several communities developed medical knowledge systems before modern medicine, referred to as "traditional medicine," "indigenous medicine," etc. Throughout the history of human civilization, medicinal plants have been vital. Nearly all societies and civilizations have traditionally relied heavily on medicinal plants as a source of medicine. The traditional medicine community views medicinal plants as a rich supply of materials for making numerous modern medications. Medicinal plants have been used for centuries to treat illnesses, preserve food, add flavor, and stop disease outbreaks. Many plants are also said to have numerous other uses, including anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-insecticidal, anti-parasitic, antibacterial, and anti-hemolytic qualities. Tribal people use these plants extensively all over the world. This review article discusses the traditional therapeutic uses of 21 species of plants from various families.

description: Thyroid nodule rupture (TNR) is a rare and severe complication after thermal ablation (TA), mostly from benign thyroid nodules (BTN). To summarize the incidence of TNR after TA and analyze the causes and prevention strategies. This retrospective study enrolled 3971 patients who underwent TA for BTN from January 2014 to March 2024. The incidence, causes, and risk factors of TNR were analyzed. Propensity score matching (PSM) controlled for confounding factors. Multivariate regression identified risk factors for TNR. ROC curves determined the optimal cutoff value for the maximum diameter (MD) for TNR. TNR occurred in 8 cases [0.2% (8/3971)]. The mean time from TA to TNR was 29.6 ± 13.0 days (range, 20-60 days). After PSM, MD was larger in the TNR group than in the non-TNR group [mean 4.1 ± 1.6 cm vs. mean 1.8 ± 1.2 cm; p < 0.001]. The optimal cutoff value of MD for TNR was 2.75 cm. After PSM, the incidence of pressure on the ablation zone was significantly higher in the TNR group than in the non-TNR group [100% (8/8) vs. 0 (0/32); p < 0.001], which has been suspected as a case of TNR. Antibiotic drugs, aspiration, or incision drainage could successfully manage all TNR cases. TNR could be encountered in case of pressure on the BTN after TA. Protecting the ablation site from pressure might be crucial in preventing TNR, especially within two months. TNR is more likely to occur if the MD of BTN exceeds 2.75 cm under pressure. Observation, antibiotics, and aspiration could successfully manage all TNR cases.

Pan-cancer analysis of splicing dysregulation reveals that the splicing switch of SLK plays a crucial role in cancer metastasis
Creators: name: Hu, Yue
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: Dysregulation of splicing commonly occurs in cancers, but the functional implications of most mis-spliced genes remain unknown. Based on a pan29 cancer analysis of splicing dysregulation, we identified universally mis-spliced genes in cancers, and were surprised to find their significant functional enrichment in cell migration. Notably, the SLK gene encoding a scaffold protein showed a significant splicing shift from SLK-S to SLK-L isoforms across various cancer types. Detailed studies demonstrated this splicing shift promotes cancer metastasis in cellular and animal models. Mechanistically, RBFOX2 was identified as a splicing factor that regulates SLK splicing. The two isoforms differentially interact with occludin, the tight junction marker, contributing to their distinct metastasis activities. However, targeting RBFOX2 and occludin have limited translational advance. Interestingly, the antisense oligonucleotides designed to suppress SLK-L splicing effectively inhibit cancer migration and invasion. Collectively, this study shows a new splicing switch with a key role in controlling cancer metastasis, shedding light on new cancer therapy via splicing manipulation.

description: Managing the semantic quality of the categorization in large textual datasets, such as Wikipedia, presents significant challenges in terms of complexity and cost. In this paper, we propose leveraging transformer models to distill semantic information from texts in the Wikipedia dataset and its associated categories into a latent space. We then explore different approaches based on these encodings to assess and enhance the semantic identity of the categories. Our graphical approach is powered by Convex Hull, while we utilize Hierarchical Navigable Small Worlds (HNSWs) for the hierarchical approach. As a solution to the information loss caused by the dimensionality reduction, we modulate the following mathematical solution: an exponential decay function driven by the Euclidean distances between the high-dimensional encodings of the textual categories. This function represents a filter built around a contextual category and retrieves items with a certain Reconsideration Probability (RP). Retrieving high-RP items serves as a tool for database administrators to improve data groupings by providing recommendations and identifying outliers within a contextual framework.

description: When designing an algorithm, one cares about arithmetic/computational complexity, but data movement (I/O) complexity plays an increasingly important role that highly impacts performance and energy consumption. For a given algorithm and a given I/O model, scheduling strategies such as loop tiling can reduce the required I/O down to a limit, called the I/O complexity, inherent to the algorithm itself. The objective of I/O complexity analysis is to compute, for a given program, its minimal I/O requirement among all valid schedules. We consider a sequential execution model with two memories, an infinite one, and a small one of size S on which the computations retrieve and produce data. The I/O is the number of reads and writes between the two memories. We identify a common "hourglass pattern" in the dependency graphs of several common linear algebra kernels. Using the properties of this pattern, we mathematically prove tighter lower bounds on their I/O complexity, which improves the previous state-of-the-art bound by a parametric ratio. This proof was integrated inside the IOLB automatic lower bound derivation tool.

French: espére de Roberts / German: Roberts-Zwergfledermaus / Spanish: Neoromicia de Roberts
Taxonomy. Neoromicia robertsi Goodman et al, 2012,
“ Madagascar: Province d’Antananarivo, Anjozorobe, Amboasary, 18°24.295'S, 47°56.699'E.”
Madagascan specimens previously assigned to melckorum were the basis for the description of N. robertsi. The species was found to be sister to N. malagasyensis. Monotypic.
Distribution. E Madagascar.
Descriptive notes. Head-body c¢.53-58 mm, tail 31-35 mm, ear ¢. 13 mm, hindfoot ¢. 6 mm, forearm 34:5-38 mm. Females may be larger than males: the only female available is consistently larger than the two males (average forearm length of males 34-5 mm vs. 38 mm of female). Dorsal and ventral pelage of Roberts’s Serotine is dark chocolate-brown; on venter, outer fur of upper chest often has a slightly lighter sheen, giving the impression of being bicolored. Ears and tragus are blackish brown; lower proximal one-half of ear is furred, tragusis less than 50% of ear length, and outer margins are parallel for about two-thirds of proximal length before curving slightly, finishing in a rounded tip. Wings and interfemoral membrane are blackish brown. Skull is large for Neoromicia, 14-3-14-6 mm in the two males. I? is about one-half height of I, and is bicuspid. Dental formula has been reported tobe: 12/3, C1/1,P 1/2, M 2/3 (x2) = 30, but this seems to be an error.
Habitat. Known only from two localities in eastern Madagascar: Anjozorobe-Angavo and Mantadia-Analamazaotra (Andasibe-Mantadia National Park); these areas comprise partially degraded habitats at altitudes of 900-1300 m.
Food and Feeding. Roberts’s Serotine is reported to feed on Coleoptera, Hymenoptera, Lepidoptera, Trichoptera, and Homoptera.
Breeding. The male collected in November had relatively large testes. Due to the form and shape of the mammae, the female (also from November) had apparently given birth and lactated.
Activity patterns. No information.

subject: Disaster and emergency management

description: What has emergency management learned from global movements like #metoo and local heroes like Dylan Alcott? That the demands of people with lived experience cannot be silenced and the status quo and its systems must change. 'Nothing about us without us,' is the mantra and call-to-action.Over the past 2 years, I have been immersed in designing a new model of disaster resilience at Fire to Flourish: a collaboration between 4 bushfire-affected communities, and a wonderful mix of frontline workers, academics and philanthropists. I have seen up close, what a response led by the local community - their ideas and their solutions - would look like. And what scaffolding, in the form of external expertise and resources, they need. Early indications suggest a potentially transformative effect.Fire to Flourish is not alone in this vision. Community-led innovations around the country following the 2019–20 bushfires show similar promise. What does this look like in practical terms? Like Mallacoota’s community-led recovery program1, run by a committee elected by an estimated 500 locals, and even registered to take public donations. Like Cobargo’s community-run incorporated association2, which receives funds and supports collective decision-making about grants for community projects. And like Kangaroo Island’s community3, equipping residents with the knowledge, skills and assets to be self-sufficient in the event of another bushfire disaster.What do we all have in common? An emerging consensus that community-led is the key principle.'Nothing about us without us.'

, Gross National Income

description: This study empirically examined the impact of crude oil revenue on the welfare of Nigerians between 1990 and 2021. Specifically, this study aimed to determine the impact of crude oil revenue on Gross National Income (GNI) per capita of Nigerians; investigating the impact of crude oil price on GNI per capita of Nigerians, and the impact of inflation rate on GNI per capita of Nigerians. Secondary data on Gross National Income per capita (GNI), oil revenue (OIR), crude oil price (COP), and inflation rate (INFL) were source from the Central Bank (CBN) Statistical Bulletins for various years and World Bank Development Indicators. The Ordinary Least Square (OLS) regression model was employed to analyze the data collected. The findings revealed that all variables except oil revenue do not have a significant impact on the welfare of Nigerians eventually. The study recommended that there, should be concerted effort by the Federal Government of Nigeria to diversify the economy from a monoproduct economy heavily dependent on crude oil. This is because the Nigerian economy cannot continue to depend on crude oil prices at the international market, which is subject to a high level of volatility that the government has no control.

ON THE RATE-COST TRADEOFF OF GAUSSIAN LINEAR CONTROL SYSTEMS WITH RANDOM COMMUNICATION DELAY

description: This thesis studies networked Gaussian linear control systems with random delays. Networked control systems is a popular topic these years because of their versatile applications in daily life, such as smart grid and unmanned vehicles. With the development of these systems, researchers have explored this area in two directions. The first one is to derive the inherent rate-cost relationship in the systems, that is the minimal transmission rate needed to achieve an arbitrarily given stability requirement. The other one is to design achievability schemes, which aim at using as less as transmission rate to achieve an arbitrarily given stability requirement. In this thesis, we explore both directions. We assume the sensor-to-controller channels experience independently and identically distributed random delays of bounded support. Our work separates into two parts. In the first part, we consider networked systems with only one sensor. We focus on deriving a lower bound, R_{LB}(D), of the rate-cost tradeoff with the cost function to be E{| x^Tx |} ≤ D, where x refers to the state to be controlled. We also propose an achievability scheme as an upper bound, R_{UB}(D), of the optimal rate-cost tradeoff. The scheme uses lattice quantization, entropy encoder, and certainty-equivalence controller. It achieves a good performance that roughly requires 2 bits per time slot more than R_{LB}(D) to achieve the same stability level. We also generalize the cost function to be of both the state and the control actions. For the joint state-and-control cost, we propose the minimal cost a system can achieve. The second part focuses on to the covariance-based fusion scheme design for systems with multiple > 1 sensors. We notice that in the multi-sensor scenario, the outdated arrivals at the controller, which many existing fusion schemes often discard, carry additional information. Therefore, we design an implementable fusion scheme (CQE) which is the MMSE estimator using both the freshest and outdated information at the controller. Our experiment demonstrates that CQE out-performances the MMSE estimator using the freshest information (LQE) exclusively by achieving a 15% smaller average L2 norm using the same transmission rate. As a benchmark, we also derive the minimal achievable L2 norm, Dmin, for the multi-sensor systems. The simulation shows that CQE approaches Dmin significantly better than LQE.

description: In a number of problems of mathematical physics and other fields stochastic differential equations are used to model certain phenomena. Often the solution of those problems can be obtained as a functional of the solution of some specific stochastic differential equation. Then we may use the idea of weak approximation to carry out numerical simulation. We analyze some complexity issues for a class of linear stochastic differential equations (Langevin type), which can be given by dXt = -α:Xtdt + β(t)dWt, X0 ≔ 0, where α > 0 and β: [0, T] → ℝ. It turns out that for a class of input data which are not more than Lipschitz continuous the explicit Euler scheme gives rise to an optimal (by order) numerical method.  Then we study numerical phenomena which occur when switching from (real) Monte Carlo simulation to quasi-Monte Carlo one, which is the case when we carry out the simulation on computers. It will easily be seen that completely uniformly distributed sequences yield good substitutes for random variates, while not all uniformly distributed (mod1) sequences are suited. In fact we provide necessary conditions on a sequence in order to serve for quasi-Monte Carlo purposes. This condition is expressed in terms of the measure of well distribution. Numerical examples complement the theoretical analysis.
