description: Energy modelling can enable energy-aware software development and assist the developer in meeting an application's energy budget. Although many energy models for embedded processors exist, most do not account for processor-specific configurations, neither are they suitable for static energy consumption estimation. This paper introduces a set of comprehensive energy models for Arm's Cortex-M0 processor, ready to support energy-aware development of edge computing applications using either profiling- or static-analysis-based energy consumption estimation. We use a commercially representative physical platform together with a custom modified Instruction Set Simulator to obtain the physical data and system state markers used to generate the models. The models account for different processor configurations which all have a significant impact on the execution time and energy consumption of edge computing applications. Unlike existing works, which target a very limited set of applications, all developed models are generated and validated using a very wide range of benchmarks from a variety of emerging IoT application areas, including machine learning and have a prediction error of less than 5%.

description: The endohedral metallofullerene (EMF) self-assembly process in Sc/carbon vapor in the presence and absence of an inert cooling gas (helium) is systematically investigated using quantum chemical molecular dynamics simulations. It is revealed that the presence of He atoms accelerates the formation of pentagons and hexagons and reduces the size of the self-assembled carbon cages in comparison with analogous He-free simulations. As a result, the Sc/C/He system simulations produce a larger number of successful trajectories (i.e. leading to Sc-EMFs) with more realistic cage-size distribution than simulations of the Sc/C system. The main Sc encapsulation mechanism involves nucleation of several hexagons and pentagons with Sc atoms already at the early stages of carbon vapor condensation. In such proto-cages, both Sc–C σ-bonds and coordination bonds between Sc atoms and the π-system of the carbon network are present. Sc atoms are thus rather labile and can move along the carbon network, but the overall bonding is sufficiently strong to prevent dissociation even at temperatures around 2000 kelvin. Further growth of the fullerene cage results in the encapsulation of one or two Sc atoms within the fullerene. In agreement with experimental studies, an extension of the simulations to Fe and Ti as the metal component showed that Fe-EMFs are not formed at all, whereas Ti is prone to form Ti-EMFs with small cage sizes, including Ti@C28-Td and Ti@C30-C2v(3).

description: Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder with a complex genetic basis. In this study we investigated the possible involvement of 111 candidate genes in autism by studying 386 patient families from the Autism Genetic Resource Exchange (AGRE). These genes were selected based on their functions that relate to the neurotransmission or central developmental system. In phase 1 of the study, 1497 tagSNPs were selected to efficiently capture the haplotype information of each gene and were genotyped in 265 AGRE nuclear families. The cleaned genotype data were analyzed through the Kelvin program to compute values of Posterior Probability of Linkage (PPL) and Posterior Probability of LD given linkage (PPLD), which directly measure the probability of linkage and/or association. Consistent supportive evidence for linkage was observed for EPHB6-EPHA1 locus at the 7q34 region by two- and multi-point PPL analysis. Some evidence for association was obtained from the intronic SNP rs2242601 of the EPHA1 gene (PPLD = 10.4%), and multiple SNPs from the MECP2 gene at Xq28 (PPLD range from 5~9%). Using a subset of the newly released AGRE genotype data from the Affymetrix 5.0 high-density SNP array, further evidence for association was obtained for 6 markers located 90kb distal of EPHA1 gene (PPLD range from 21% to 40%). In phase 2 of this study, in an attempt to conduct fine mapping as well as to replicate our phase 1 results in a set of 123 additional AGRE family samples, additional SNPs were selected from the EPHA1 and MECP2 gene region for fine-scale analysis. Strong support of association with autism was observed for the markers downstream of the EPHA1 gene using the original families, with the SNP rs7801889 showing a high PPLD value of 62%. Markers from the MECP2 gene region remained moderately associated with PPLD values around 8%. Nonetheless, none of the SNPs showed any support for association in the additional family samples. These mixed preliminary results suggested the polymorphisms within and downstream of the Ephrin receptor A1 gene as potential novel susceptibility loci for autism. Limited support for the role of MECP2 in autism etiology was also observed.

description: The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is predicted to make great advances in the field of exoplanet atmospheres. Its 25 m2 mirror means that it can reach unprecedented levels of precision in observations of transit spectra, and can thus characterise the atmospheres of planets orbiting stars several hundred pc away. Its coverage of the infrared spectral region between 0.6 and 28 μm allows the abundances of key molecules to be probed during the transit of a planet in front of the host star, and when the same planet is eclipsed constraints can be placed on its temperature structure. In this work, we explore the possibility of using low-spectral-resolution observations by JWST/NIRSpec and JWST/MIRI-LRS together to optimise wavelength coverage and break degeneracies in the atmospheric retrieval problem for a range of exoplanets from hot Jupiters to super Earths. This approach involves stitching together non-simultaneous observations in different wavelength regions, rendering it necessary to consider the effect of time-varying instrumental and astrophysical systematics. We present the results of a series of retrieval feasibility tests examining the effects of instrument systematics and star spots on the recoverability of the true atmospheric state, and demonstrate that correcting for these systematics is key for successful exoplanet science with JWST.

description: Vegetation fires affect human infrastructures, ecosystems, global vegetation distribution, and atmospheric composition. However, the climatic, environmental, and socioeconomic factors that control global fire activity in vegetation are only poorly understood, and in various complexities and formulations are represented in global process-oriented vegetation-fire models. Data-driven model approaches such as machine learning algorithms have successfully been used to identify and better understand controlling factors for fire activity. However, such machine learning models cannot be easily adapted or even implemented within process-oriented global vegetation-fire models. To overcome this gap between machine learning-based approaches and process-oriented global fire models, we introduce a new flexible data-driven fire modelling approach here (Satellite Observations to predict FIre Activity, SOFIA approach version 1). SOFIA models can use several predictor variables and functional relationships to estimate burned area that can be easily adapted with more complex process-oriented vegetation-fire models. We created an ensemble of SOFIA models to test the importance of several predictor variables. SOFIA models result in the highest performance in predicting burned area if they account for a direct restriction of fire activity under wet conditions and if they include a land cover-dependent restriction or allowance of fire activity by vegetation density and biomass. The use of vegetation optical depth data from microwave satellite observations, a proxy for vegetation biomass and water content, reaches higher model performance than commonly used vegetation variables from optical sensors. We further analyse spatial patterns of the sensitivity between anthropogenic, climate, and vegetation predictor variables and burned area. We finally discuss how multiple observational datasets on climate, hydrological, vegetation, and socioeconomic variables together with data-driven modelling and model–data integration approaches can guide the future development of global process-oriented vegetation-fire models.

description: Background: Functional brain networks (FBNs) derived from resting-state functional MRI (rs-fMRI) have shown great potential in identifying brain disorders, such as autistic spectrum disorder (ASD). Therefore, many FBN estimation methods have been proposed in recent years. Most existing methods only model the functional connections between brain regions of interest (ROIs) from a single view (e.g., by estimating FBNs through a specific strategy), failing to capture the complex interactions among ROIs in the brain. Methods: To address this problem, we propose fusion of multiview FBNs through joint embedding, which can make full use of the common information of multiview FBNs estimated by different strategies. More specifically, we first stack the adjacency matrices of FBNs estimated by different methods into a tensor and use tensor factorization to learn the joint embedding (i.e., a common factor of all FBNs) for each ROI. Then, we use Pearson’s correlation to calculate the connections between each embedded ROI in order to reconstruct a new FBN. Results: Experimental results obtained on the public ABIDE dataset with rs-fMRI data reveal that our method is superior to several state-of-the-art methods in automated ASD diagnosis. Moreover, by exploring FBN “features” that contributed most to ASD identification, we discovered potential biomarkers for ASD diagnosis. The proposed framework achieves an accuracy of 74.46%, which is generally better than the compared individual FBN methods. In addition, our method achieves the best performance compared to other multinetwork methods, i.e., an accuracy improvement of at least 2.72%. Conclusions: We present a multiview FBN fusion strategy through joint embedding for fMRI-based ASD identification. The proposed fusion method has an elegant theoretical explanation from the perspective of eigenvector centrality.

description: There is evidence that students’ and mathematicians’ images of and reasoning about concepts such as infinite unions and intersections of sets, limits, and convergent series often invoke the consideration of infinite iterative processes. Therefore, not reasoning normatively about infinite iteration may hinder students’ understanding of fundamental concepts in mathematics. Research suggests that the vast majority of college students are inclined to use non-normative reasoning when presented with tasks that challenge them to imagine an infinite iterative process as completed and define its outcome. However, there is almost no research on how students’ conceptions of completed infinite iteration can be refined in a normative direction. Adopting a design research approach, the purpose of this thesis is to develop a local instruction theory for completed infinite iteration. This design entails multiple cycles through phases of development, implementation, and analysis. The study consisted of a sequence of two constructivist teaching experiments conducted with pairs of mathematics majors, during which the students worked collaboratively through a variety of infinite iteration tasks. Each cycle consisted of 6 or 7 sessions lasting approximately 2 hours, together with Pre-test and Post-Test sessions. The data analysis consisted of multiple phases of iterative analysis of the videotaped sessions and written work and was guided by situated learning transfer theories. The participants in this study employed a variety of types of reasoning when solving completed infinite iteration tasks, some normative and some not. One way that the students refined their reasoning on infinite iteration was by making references to previously solved tasks (in the presence of a concern for consistent reasoning across tasks), although the refinement was not always in normative directions. The challenge that a researcher faces consists in helping students use such references to establish “anchors” in normatively solved tasks to which they can then contrast the solution paths proposed for other tasks. A variety of approaches to responding to this challenge are explored. The study culminates with the formulation of a local instruction theory for completed infinite iteration, containing among other things a sequence of instructional activities and a rationale for their appropriateness.

description: Energy is an important driver of human development, but its generation and use are associated with environmental pollution and degradation of natural resources. Electricity is one the main components of global energy use. Its consumption is growing rapidly according to the trend of global electrification and automation. In this thesis we analyze various environmental and human aspects of sustainability for different sources of electric energy, such as hydro power, fossil and nuclear fuels and so on. We define indicators pertaining to these sustainability aspects and collect data for each energy source. The indicators are combined into an overall sustainability index using fuzzy logic. A comparison of the energy sources in terms of sustainability is presented. A sensitivity analysis reveals the most important indicators affecting the sustainability of each source.

description: The inner tracking system of the CMS experiment, which comprises Silicon Pixel and Silicon Strip detectors, is designed to provide a precise measurement of the momentum of charged particles and to reconstruct the primary and secondary vertices. The movements of the different substructures of the tracker detectors driven by the operating conditions during data taking, require to regularly update the detector geometry in order to accurately describe the position, orientation, and curvature of the tracker modules. The procedure in which new parameters of the tracker geometry are determined is known as alignment of the tracker. The alignment procedure is performed several times during data taking using reconstructed tracks from collisions and cosmic rays data, and later on, further refined after the data taking period is finished. The tracker alignment performance corresponding to the ultimate accuracy of the alignment calibration for the legacy reprocessing of the CMS Run 2 data is presented. The data-driven methods used to derive the alignment parameters and the set of validations that monitor the performance of physics observables after the alignment are reviewed. Finally, the prospects for the alignment calibration during the upcoming run of the LHC, where more challenging operation conditions are expected, will be addressed.

description: Background: Treatment response biomarkers are needed in the care of patients hospitalised with HIV-associated tuberculosis (TB).Objectives: We describe the changes in bacillary load during early treatment using quantitative and semi-quantitative measures of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in blood and urine.Method: We collected serial blood and urine samples at multiple timepoints in consenting adult patients with HIV and positive urine lipoarabinomannan (LAM), admitted to Mitchells Plain Hospital, Cape Town. Blood and urine Xpert Ultra, mycobacterial blood culture and urine LAM were performed. Survival analysis and mixed-effects modelling were used to determine time to a negative test, and to give the predicted probability of a positive test at the different timepoints.Results: Sixteen participants, predominantly male (63%), with median age 39 years (interquartile range [IQR] 36–43), and CD4 count 27 cells/mm3 (IQR 8–83) were included. At day 14, urine LAM, urine Xpert Ultra and blood Xpert Ultra remained positive in between 75% and 86% of the participants. A mixed-effects model predicted a decline in ordinal values of urine Xpert Ultra (cycle threshold), blood Xpert Ultra (cycle threshold) and blood culture (time-to-positivity) in response to anti-TB treatment. Conversely, urine LAM grade intensity increased over the 14 days.Conclusion: M. tuberculosis DNA was detectable in urine and blood in decreasing quantity up to 14 days of standard treatment in patients with HIV-associated TB. Urine Alere LAM showed an increasing grade intensity during this period. Further research in larger groups and extended periods are needed to assess relation to clinical outcomes.

description: Although environmental education (EE) has increased focus on how to best serve diverse populations, one understudied area is how linguistically diverse learners may engage with EE programming. Linguistic diversity is on the rise across the United States; for instance, nearly one-third of all children between the ages of 0 and 8 have at least one parent who speaks a language other than English in the home. This study evaluated impacts of an EE curriculum designed to promote pro-environmental behavior change with a pre-post, treatment-control experimental design among students from linguistically diverse households. In partnership with teachers, we implemented the curriculum in elementary schools across the state of North Carolina, United States. Over two school years (2018–2020), 36 teachers from 31 schools across 18 counties participated in the study, providing 644 paired pre-post student responses (n = 204 control; n = 440 treatment). About 10% of the sample (n = 49 treatment, n = 18 control) reported speaking a language at home other than English. We tested hypotheses that the curriculum would increase pro-environmental behavior change among all students, but particularly among those from linguistically diverse households using multiple linear regression. Results indicate that the curriculum effectively encouraged pro-environmental behaviors for all students on average, but particularly among linguistically diverse students, adding to growing examples of the equigenic effects of environmental and nature-based education. These findings are consistent with research demonstrating that EE can contribute to behavior change among young learners and may be particularly well-suited to resonate with the unique contributions of linguistically diverse learners.

description: In the past decades, integrated development environments (IDEs) have been largely advanced to facilitate common software engineering tasks. Yet, with growing information needs driven by increasing complexity in developing modern high-quality software, developers often need to switch among multiple user interfaces, even across different applications, in their development process, which breaks their mental workflow thus tends to adversely affect their working efficiency and productivity. This position paper discusses challenges faced by current IDE designs mainly from working context transitions of developers during the process of seeking multiple information needs for their development tasks. It remarks the primary blockades behind and initially explores some high-level design considerations for overcoming such challenges in the next-generation IDEs. Specifically, a few design enhancements on top of modern IDEs are envisioned, attempting to reduce the overheads of frequent context switching commonly seen in the multitasking of developers.

This work describes several additional specimens referable to these taxa from the same deposit. Novel anatomical information gathered here provides further support for their phylogenetic affinity with the small North–Central American boas of the family Charinidae.

description: We study a large sample of 625 low-redshift brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) and link their morphologies to their structural properties. We derive visual morphologies and find that ~57% of the BCGs are cD galaxies, ~13% are ellipticals, and ~21% belong to the intermediate classes mostly between E and cD. There is a continuous distribution in the properties of the BCG's envelopes, ranging from undetected (E class) to clearly detected (cD class), with intermediate classes (E/cD and cD/E) showing the increasing degrees of the envelope presence. A minority (~7%) of BCGs have disk morphologies, with spirals and S0s in similar proportions, and the rest (~2%) are mergers. After carefully fitting the galaxies light distributions by using one-component (Sersic) and two-component (Sersic+Exponential) models, we find a clear link between the BCGs morphologies and their structures and conclude that a combination of the best-fit parameters derived from the fits can be used to separate cD galaxies from non-cD BCGs. In particular, cDs and non-cDs show very different distributions in the $R_e$--$RFF$ plane, where $R_e$ is the effective radius and $RFF$ (the residual flux fraction) measures the proportion of the galaxy flux present in the residual images after subtracting the models. In general, cDs have larger $R_e$ and $RFF$ values than ellipticals. Therefore we find, in a statistically robust way, a boundary separating cD and non-cD BCGs in this parameter space. BCGs with cD morphology can be selected with reasonably high completeness (~75%) and low contamination (~20%). This automatic and objective technique can be applied to any current or future BCG sample with good quality images.

description: Introduction Musculoskeletal (MSK) disorders such as low back pain and osteoarthritis are a leading cause of disability and the leading contributor to the need for rehabilitation services globally. This need has surpassed the availability of trained clinicians; even in urban areas where services and providers are thought to be more abundant, access can be challenged by transportation options and financial costs associated with travel, care and lost time from work. However, continuing standard of fully in-person rehabilitation care for MSK-associated pain and disability may no longer be necessary. With increased ownership or access to even a basic mobile phone device, and evidence for remote management by trained clinicians, some individuals with MSK disorders may be able to continue their rehabilitation regimen predominantly from home after initial evaluation in primary care or an outpatient clinic. Methods This manuscript describes application of a framework we used to culturally and contextually adapt an evidence-based approach for leveraging digital health technology using a mobile phone (mHealth) to expand access to rehabilitation services for MSK-associated pain and disability. We then conducted a multi-level analysis of policies related to the adapted approach for rehabilitation service delivery to identify opportunities to support sustainability. Results Our study was conducted in Tanzania, a lower-middle income country with their first National Rehabilitation Strategic Plan released in 2021. Lessons learned can be applied even to countries with greater infrastructure or fewer barriers. The seven-step adaptation framework used can be applied in other regions to improve the likelihood of local mHealth adoption and implementation. Our practice and policy assessment for Tanzania can be applied in other regions and used collaboratively with government officials in support of building or implementing a national rehabilitation strategic plan. Conclusion The work described, lessons learned and components of the plan are generalizable globally and can improve access to rehabilitation services using mHealth to address the significant and increasing burden of disability.

An in vitro assay for acupuncture

description: Acupuncture is a traditional Eastern therapy that is increasingly used as an alternative therapy in the United States, but remains poorly understood. During acupuncture, needles are inserted subcutaneously at specific acupuncture points and rotated to achieve "de qi", a warming sensation felt by the patient, which to the therapist coincides with a grasping resistance to further needle manipulation. Research has demonstrated that needle grasp results specifically from loose fascial connective tissues winding around the needle, and that needle grasp is stronger at acupuncture points, which fall above intermuscular fascial planes, than other locations on the body. To determine if mechanical stimulation is related to the therapeutic benefits of acupuncture, the features that govern the enhanced mechanical coupling need to be understood, but this is difficult to evaluate in vivo or in situ. In this thesis, several of these features are examined in a controlled, in vitro setting using collagen gels as the basis. The thickness, concentration, mechanical properties, size, shape, and composition of collagen gels were systematically altered, and the response to controlled acupuncture evaluated by capturing the evolution of fiber alignment using polarized light microscopy. Alignment was observed to increase with increasing collagen concentration, but decrease when the collagen was stiffened via crosslinking. Crosslinked gels failed after fewer rotations than untreated gels. Alignment was increased with increasing depth of insertion, but decreased in thicker gels when needle depth was held constant. Collagen gels cast in ellipses or strips to mimic fascial plane anatomy resisted failure and aligned more readily than circular gels. Alignment in these gels was anisotropic, with stronger alignment across the ellipse or plane, and entrapped rat fibroblasts followed the alignment pattern. The inclusion of fibrin in a composite gel with collagen significantly increased the ability of the gel to withstand needle rotations, which ultimately generated significantly greater alignment. The addition of hyaluronic acid produced less dramatic effects. Connective tissue is uniquely structured and organized to enable specific and substantial mechanical interactions during acupuncture. The in vitro system can be expanded to study cellular responses for understanding of underlying biological mechanisms and subsequent engineering applications.
