Crystal interactions with isolated human neutrophils : effect of adsorbed proteins
Creators: name: Gadkari, Seema Jayant
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Crystal deposition diseases such as gout and pseudogout are characterized by the deposition of monosodium urate monohydrate (MSUM) and calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (CPPD) crystals respectively in the joints. Inflammation arises from the interaction of these crystals with the synoviocytes and polymorphonuclear leukocytes or neutrophils. We have studied the neutrophil responses to stimulation by MSUM and CPPD crystals and the effect of various protein coatings on the crystal surface on the neutrophil responses. The neutrophil responses studied were the respiratory burst accompanying phagocytosis leading to production of superoxide anion and generation of chemiluminescence. Degranulation of the neutrophil was also studied by monitoring the release of myeloperoxidase and lysozyme enzymes. Both MSUM and CPPD induced the generation of superoxide anion to the same degree although MSUM induced a faster rate of production of superoxide anion than CPPD. The reduction of ferricytochrome c was superoxide dismutase inhibitable for CPPD/neutrophil incubations but not inhibitable for MSUM/neutrophil incubations, probably due to inactivation of superoxide dismutase by adsorption of the protein onto MSUM crystals. Precoating of MSUM and CPPD crystals with Immunoglobulin G, Bovine serum albumin or plasma proteins did not influence the generation of superoxide significantly. The generation of luminol enhanced neutrophil chemiluminescence induced by MSUM was of a greater magnitude and the maximal response was attained faster than for CPPD crystals. Precoating MSUM or CPPD crystals with immunoglobulin G enhanced the chemiluminescence response while plasma precoating inhibited the chemiluminescence response. Release of myeloperoxidase induced by MSUM crystals could not be measured due to adsorption of myeloperoxidase by MSUM. Precoating MSUM crystals with proteins did not influence the adsorption of myeloperoxidase. Hence degranulation was monitored by measuring the release of lysozyme induced by MSUM and CPPD crystals. Lysozyme was also found to adsorb onto MSUM crystals although less extensively than myeloperoxidase. There was no significant effect of protein coating on MSUM and CPPD induced lysozyme release. The particulate stimulants MSUM and CPPD produced activation of neutrophils with superoxide release, chemiluminescence generation and degranulation. Neutrophil responses, and in particular the chemiluminescence responses, to the crystals could be modulated by the nature of the protein adsorbed to the crystal surface.

description: The Maasai people have acted as the historical stewards of the land and wildlife of the Amboseli Ecosystem for centuries. Maasai culture and its accompanying traditions compose one of the most well-studied anthropological systems in the world. Currently, Maasai culture and tradition face more challenges than ever before. Through a series of interviews with various constituents of the Amboseli community, we sought to discover which traditions the Maasai continued to find important, what were the most formidable threads to those traditions, and how the Maasai were responding to those threats. Community members identified four primary traditions that continue to be important: social connectedness, dress and ornaments, connection with wildlife and nature, and the practice of Moranism. Threats to these traditions include increased presence of Westerners, tourists, and conservationists; climate change and increased incidence of drought; changing land tenure systems; and the introduction of formal education among younger generations. Maasai community members have responded to these threats by keeping, discarding, or evolving the tradition based on its importance to them. Based on these findings, we detail potential strategies for the maintenance of those traditions which are currently evolving: Moranism and pastoralism. These recommendations will inform Maasai community members about the scope of solutions they currently face, as well as providing insight into more innovative solutions that could be implemented in the future.

description: The constraints obtained by several authors (Eke et al. 1998; Henry 2000) on the estimated values of $Ω_{\rm m}$, $n$ and $σ_8$ are revisited in the light of recent theoretical developments: 1) new theoretical mass functions; 2) a more accurate mass-temperature relation, also determined for arbitrary $Ω_{\rm m}$ and $Ω_{\rm Λ}$. I re-derive the X-ray Temperature Function (XTF), similarly to Henry (2000) and Eke et al. (1999), re-obtaining the constraints on $Ω_{\rm m}$, $n$, $σ_8$. The result shows that changes in the mass function and M-T relation produces an increase in $Ω_{\rm m}$ of $ \simeq 20%$ and similar results in $σ_8$ and $n$.

Publisher: name: Consilience
Year: 2019

description: This study was undertaken to determine the effect of livelihood diversification on poverty alleviation in Giwa Local Government Area of Kaduna state, Nigeria. The study utilized primary data collected through a questionnaire administered to 100 respondents selected using purposive and random sampling procedure. Data were analyzed using simple descriptive statistics, the FGT poverty model and Tobit regression model. The result of FGT poverty model revealed that the incidence of poverty among the farming households was 30%, and this implies that 70% of the farm households were non-poor. The result of the Tobit regression showed that livelihood diversification was significant at 1% probability level and was negatively related to the poverty level of the farmers. This implies that a farming household head who engages in a number of livelihood activities has a lower likelihood of being poor. This is on the premise that increase in the number of livelihood activities increases the income of the farmers and invariably their purchasing power and welfare. It is recommended that awareness and skills acquisition training programmes should be established at the grass root by the local government authority to ensure that farmers are not only practising farming as their only means of livelihood but also a wide range of income generating activities to improve their well being.

description: We analyze two sets of observations of Dione's co-orbital satellite Helene taken by Cassini's Composite Infrared Spectrometer (CIRS). The first observation was a CIRS FP3 (600 to 1100cm-1, 9.1 to 16.7 $μ$m) stare of Helene's trailing hemisphere, where two of the ten FP3 pixels were filled. The daytime surface temperatures derived from these observations were 83.3${\pm}$0.9 K and 88.8${\pm}$0.8 K at local times 223$°$ to 288$°$ and 180$°$ to 238$°$ respectively. When these temperatures were compared to a 1-D thermophysical model only albedos between 0.25 and 0.70 were able to fit the data, with a mean and standard deviation of 0.43${\pm}$0.12. All thermal inertias tested between 1 and 2000 J m$^{-2}$ K$^{-1}$ s$^{-1/2}$ could fit the data (i.e. thermal inertia was not constrained). The second observation analyzed was a FP3 and FP4 (1100 to 1400cm-1, 7.1 to 9.1 $μm)$ scan of Helene's leading hemisphere. Temperatures between 77 and 89 K were observed with FP3, with a typical error between 5 and 10 K. The surface temperatures derived from FP4 were higher, between 98 and 106 K, but with much larger errors (between 10 and 30 K) and thus the FP3- and FP4-derived temperature largely agree within their uncertainty. Dione's disk-integrated bolometric Bond albedos have been found to be between 0.63${\pm}$0.15 (Howett et al., 2010) and 0.44${\pm}$0.13 (Howett et al., 2014). Thus Helene may be darker than Dione, which is the opposite of the trend found at shorter wavelengths (c.f. Hedman et al., 2020; Royer et al., 2020). However few conclusions can be drawn since the albedos of Dione and Helene agree within their uncertainty.

description: In an exciting experiment by MIT's group (Science 275, 637 (1997)), clear interference fringes were observed for two initially independent Bose condensates in dilute gas. Presently, there are two different theories (measurement-induced interference theory and interaction-induced interference theory) which can both explain MIT's experimental results. Based on our interaction-induced interference theory, we consider the evolution of the density-density correlation after the releasing of a double-well potential trapping two independent Bose condensates. Based on the interaction-induced interference theory, we find that the interference fringes in the density-density correlation exhibit a behavior of emergence and disappearance with the development of time. We find essential difference for the density-density correlation based on interaction-induced interference theory and measurement-induced interference theory, and thus we suggest the density-density correlation to experimentally reveal further the interference mechanism for two initially independent Bose condensates.

Projected Hamming Dissimilarity for Bit-Level Importance Coding in Collaborative Filtering

description: When reasoning about tasks that involve large amounts of data, a common approach is to represent data items as objects in the Hamming space where operations can be done efficiently and effectively. Object similarity can then be computed by learning binary representations (hash codes) of the objects and computing their Hamming distance. While this is highly efficient, each bit dimension is equally weighted, which means that potentially discriminative information of the data is lost. A more expressive alternative is to use real-valued vector representations and compute their inner product; this allows varying the weight of each dimension but is many magnitudes slower. To fix this, we derive a new way of measuring the dissimilarity between two objects in the Hamming space with binary weighting of each dimension (i.e., disabling bits): we consider a field-agnostic dissimilarity that projects the vector of one object onto the vector of the other. When working in the Hamming space, this results in a novel projected Hamming dissimilarity, which by choice of projection, effectively allows a binary importance weighting of the hash code of one object through the hash code of the other. We propose a variational hashing model for learning hash codes optimized for this projected Hamming dissimilarity, and experimentally evaluate it in collaborative filtering experiments. The resultant hash codes lead to effectiveness gains of up to +7% in NDCG and +14% in MRR compared to state-of-the-art hashing-based collaborative filtering baselines, while requiring no additional storage and no computational overhead compared to using the Hamming distance.

Wild Bees in the City: Reimagining Urban Spaces for Pollinator Health
Creators: name: Burr, Andrea
Publisher: name: Consilience
Year: 2019

description: Bees (Hymenoptera: Apoidea) are critical to crop production globally. In the last decade, significant declines in pollinator health have been documented and it is now widely considered a “crisis.” The potential causes of reduced pollinator health (species richness and abundance) relate to land-use decisions, practices, and management including habitat fragmentation, lack of foraging resources, pesticides, pests, and disease. Recent studies of native bees found diverse communities in cities around the world. This interdisciplinary pilot study investigates relationships between pollinator health and urban land-uses. It joins ecological and social science field research to examine linkages between native pollinator health and socio-cultural drivers of urban land-use decision-making practices to understand (1) what explains findings of diverse bee species in cities and (2) how citizens can encourage the enhancement of habitat for insect pollinator conservation. To establish a baseline for monitoring pollinator diversity and abundance, wild bees were sampled weekly at designated urban farms, community gardens, and prairie pockets located in St. Louis, Missouri, USA from 2013-2015. Ethnographic interviews were conducted in summer 2015 with 30 decision-makers to learn the social dynamics effecting management at the biologically sampled sites. Informants described bees’ role in crop yield, quality, and quantity; reported planting to attract pollinators; and spoke of the city as viable for pollinator habitat, which is relevant to urban conservation and policy. Their conversational evidence paired with images captured at the research sites reveal the rich urban social-ecological tapestry studied, as well as enhance and inform future research approaches.

Emerging Technology in Urban Areas of Developing Countries for Sustainable Wastewater Treatment and Reuse
Creators: name: Jhansi, Dr. Seetharam Chittoor
name: Mishra, Dr. Santosh Kumar
Publisher: name: Consilience
Year: 2019

description: In order to achieve ecological wastewater treatment, a “closed-loop treatment system” is recommended. Many present day systems are a “disposal-based linear system”. The traditional linear treatment systems must be transformed into the cyclical treatment to promote the conservation of water and nutrient resources. Using organic waste nutrient cycles, from “point-of-generation” to “point-of-production”, closes the resource loop and provides an approach for the management of valuable wastewater resources. Failing to recover organic wastewater from urban areas means a huge loss of life-supporting resources that instead of being used in agricultural for food production, fill rivers with polluted water. The development of ecological wastewater management strategies will contribute to the reduction of pathogens in surface and groundwater to improve public health. The objective of present paper is to give an insight into the appropriate technology for treatment of wastewater. The paper discusses sustainable wastewater treatment systems in the context of urban areas of the developing world. The paper concludes that “since the urban areas of many developing countries are growing rapidly, ecological sanitation systems must be implemented that are sustainable and have the ability to adapt and grow with the community’s sanitation needs”. In order to decide what the appropriate treatment system is, the developer must consider the area’s climate, topography, and socioeconomic factors.

description: This paper was designed to investigate the linkage of Agricultural budgetary allocation and economic growth in Nigeria from an econometric perspective. The results of the analysis showed that in the long run, the relationship between agricultural budgetary allocation and economic growth in Nigeria is positive but not significant and in the short run, the relationship is positive and significant only for two years lagged value of agricultural budgetary allocation. This observed relationship is not unconnected to the low budgetary allocations to agriculture over the years in Nigeria. This implies that there is the need for a significant increase in allocations to agriculture in order to ensure that the agricultural sector plays a pivotal role in the national transformation agenda of Nigeria.

Spontaneous Lipid Binding to the Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor in a Native Membrane

description: The nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) and other pentameric ligand-gated ion channels (pLGICs) are native to neuronal membranes with an unusual lipid composition. While it is well-established that these receptors can be significantly modulated by lipids, the underlying mechanisms have been primarily studied in model membranes with only a few lipid species. Here we use coarse-grained molecular dynamics (MD) simulation to probe specific binding of lipids in a complex quasi-neuronal membrane. We ran a total of 50 microseconds of simulations of a single nAChR in a membrane composed of 36 species of lipids. Competition between multiple lipid species produces a complex distribution. We find that overall, cholesterol selects for concave intersubunit sites and PUFAs select for convex M4 sites, while monounsaturated and saturated lipids are unenriched in the nAChR boundary. In order to characterize binding to specific sites, we present a novel approach for calculating a "density-threshold affinity" from continuous density distributions. We find that affinity for M4 weakens with chain rigidity, which suggests flexible chains may help relax packing defects caused by the conical protein shape. For any site, PE headgroups have the strongest affinity of all phospholipid headgroups, but anionic lipids still yield moderately high affinities for the M4 sites as expected. We observe cooperative effects between anionic headgroups and saturated chains at the M4 site in the inner leaflet. We also analyze affinities for individual anionic headgroups. Combined, these insights may reconcile several apparently contradictory experiments on the role of anionic phospholipids in modulating nAChR.

description: The effect of a weak uniform magnetic field on the electronic structure of slightly deformed fullerene molecules is studied within the continuum field-theory model. It is shown that fine structure of the electronic energy spectrum is very sensitive to the orientation of the magnetic field. In particular, we found that the magnetic field pointed in the x direction does not influence the first electronic level whereas it causes a splitting of the second energy level. This behavior differs markedly from the case of the magnetic field pointed in the z direction.

Year: 2019

description: Central Business Districts (CBD) are areas of dense traffic which result in parking problems. Four parks were selected for detailed study in Akure, the capital of Ondo State, Nigeria. Parking surveys were conducted to evaluate their parking index (efficiency) using both close and open-ended questionnaires. Parking index (efficiency) for OFP1, OFP2, OFP3 and OFP4 were obtained as 42.5%, 69.52%, 74.88% and 26.66% respectively. The study shows that OFP1 and OFP4 operated below the maximum capacity at parking index lower than 50%, while OFP2 and OFP3 operated above the maximum capacity when compared with Policy 7 of the Parking Space Requirements in Parking Code Guidance 2012 of San Francisco Department of Transportation. Furthermore,50%, 36% and 14% of the respondents affirmed that the facilities are not adequate, adequate and very adequate respectively. Inadequacy in parking signage and deficiency in enforcement by Management was observed. However, effective communication, parking enforcement, operational efficiency and provision of parking signage should be adopted in the study area.

description: We present the analysis of our 13 and 22 cm ATCA observations of the central region of the merging galaxy cluster A3921 (z=0.094). We investigated the effects of the major merger between two sub-clusters on the star formation (SF) and radio emission properties of the confirmed cluster members. The origin of SF and the nature of radio emission in cluster galaxies was investigated by comparing their radio, optical and X-ray properties. We also compared the radio source counts and the percentage of detected radio galaxies with literature data. We detected 17 radio sources above the flux density limit of 0.25 mJy/beam in the central field of A3921, among which 7 are cluster members. 9 galaxies with star-forming optical spectra were observed in the collision region of the merging sub-clusters. They were not detected at radio wavelengths, giving upper limits for their star formation rate significantly lower than those typically found in late-type, field galaxies. Most of these star-forming objects are therefore really located in the high density part of the cluster, and they are not infalling field objects seen in projection at the cluster centre. Their SF episode is probably related to the cluster collision that we observe in its very central phase. None of the galaxies with post-starburst optical spectra was detected down our 2$σ$ flux density limit, confirming that they are post-starburst and not dusty star-forming objects. We finally detected a narrow-angle tail (NAT) source associated with the second brightest cluster galaxy (BG2), whose diffuse component is a partly detached pair of tails from an earlier period of activity of the BG2 galaxy.

description: Herbivory is a prominent top-down force shaping the landscape of semi-arid savannas in East Africa. Herbivores participate in seed dispersal both by ingesting and defecating the seeds of endozoochorously-dispersed plants and by translocating the seeds of exozoochorously-dispersed plants. In this study, we sought to determine how the extinction of large mammalian herbivores would affect the abundance of five focal species of plants that use fruiting as theira primary dispersal mechanism. We also examined how the absence of large mammalian herbivores affected seed predation by small mammals. We counted the number of individual plants for each of the five species in three short-term (5 yearr. old) exclusion blocks and one long-term (15 yearr. old) exclusion block. We found that total abundance of fleshy-fruited species increaseds as successive levels of large mammalian herbivores weare excluded and as the duration of herbivore exclusion increaseds. Within species, we found that C. orthacantha and S. campylacanthum increased in the absence of herbivores, while O. stricta decreased in the absence of herbivores. B. aegyptiaca and B. albitrunca did not exhibit differences in abundance between different levels of herbivore exclosure. We found that small mammals demonstrated a preference for B. albitrunca and O. stricta seeds, which were consumed primarily by the fringe-tailed gerbil, Gerbilliscus robustus. Understanding the interactions between herbivores and vegetation is vital to conserving understanding how plant communities as well as understanding how they may change in the future, as well as how to conserve them.

The feasibility of using lanthanide elements to mass mark hatchery-production salmon

description: The development of a marking technique which could be effectively and efficiently used to mark large groups of salmonids, would be a great asset to fisheries management. Six experiments were thus conducted to investigate the feasibility of using the lanthanide elements to mass mark hatchery-production salmon. The lanthanides, introduced through the water supply, appear to be suitable since they demonstrate the characteristics of good elemental markers. Fish marked with these elements can be satisfactorily identified by analysis of bony tissues by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The lanthanides were shown to be severely toxic to coho and steelhead alevins at concentrations of 100 µg/l in the water supply, but were only slightly toxic to coho fry. Alevin and fry appeared to be more sensitive to the light-weight lanthanides than the heavier lanthanides. Coho smolts showed no adverse effects when exposed to lanthanum or cerium at these concentrations. Lanthanides, introduced in the form of acetates, were shown to be absorbed from the water supply and subsequently incorporated in the vertebral column, otoliths and scales of coho fry. Coho fry exposed to lanthanum or samarium at concentrations of 100 µg/l in the water for 6 weeks had detectable levels of element in their bony tissues 10½ months post-treatment. When lanthanum and cerium were added to the water supply at concentrations of 100 µg/l for 4 weeks, higher concentrations of element were accumulated in fry than in smolts, although smolts accumulated greater amounts of element. Introduction of the lanthanide elements through the water supply, appears to be an effective method for the mass marking of young salmonids.
The Irish as Caribbean Slaves?
Creators: name: Johnson II, Robert Allen
Publisher: name: Imaginaires
Year: 2020

description: The meme of Irish slavery is not a new phenomenon, but dates back to at least the mid 1600s and the beginning of servitude as a means for the planter class to guarantee labour outputs in their colonies, in the context of the complicated Irish relationship to empire, colonisation, colonial labour and slavery. Today’s meme is loose on the frontier of human communication on the world wide web in the form of a particular internet meme, with the possibility to infect millions through memetic transfer, the consequences thereof being a widespread dissemination of the idea of the Irish as slaves, at a time of greater cultural conflict in academia as part of conflict among elites, combined with the identification of the idea of Irish slaves as secret or stigmatized knowledge.

description: Within the relativistic mean-field approach, we extend the Miyazaki model, where the NN$σ$ and NN$ω$ interactions are modified to suppress the couplings between positive- and negative-energy states of a nucleon in matter. Assuming appropriate density-dependence of the meson-nucleon couplings, we study nuclear matter and finite nuclei. The model can reproduce the observed properties of $^{16}$O and $^{40}$Ca well. We also examine if the model is natural.

A Critique on Current Paradigms of Economic ‘Growth’ and ‘Development’ in the Context of Environment and Sustainability Issues
Creators: name: Roy, Sayan
Publisher: name: Consilience
Year: 2019

description: This paper critically evaluates different models of economic progress and development using concepts based on the idea of the ‘political economy’. It explores the influence of globalization on these different models and explores the nexus between the International Financial Institutions, trade bodies, and agreements that continuously exert economic pressure on governments. This paper also attempts to understand the environment and society in the context of markets and valuation mechanisms, and questions the effectiveness of economic instruments used to tackle complex environmental issues such as climate change and deforestation. The rest of this paper focuses on the technology-market interface; technologically oriented economic solutions seem to have a limited understanding of the root causes of the issues they are created to remedy. They also fail to acknowledge the intricate relationship between humans and their environments. This paper expounds the perceived inability of conventional economic frameworks to capture the dynamism, complex interactions, and organic nature of life sustaining phenomena in the biosphere is emphasized.

description: This paper focuses on the interaction between popular culture and the new media, which sociologist David Beer notes, “have become central in shaping our everyday lives and in ordering our routine experiences”. Images of Ireland are now everywhere. Over recent years, the well-ordered ideological visual narrative of the historical and affective bond that was fostered by emigration, or the political assertiveness of the Irish diaspora in the USA seem to be no longer clearly delineated because its representations circulate online in different, less fixed ways.

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: RESUMO

A reflexão versa sobre a problemática jurídica relacionada com a tributação de rendimentos na realidade angolana. O tema é de grande relevância. A reforma que começou em 2010, não está totalmente consolidada e ainda há muito por definir. O conceito de rendimento, não está delimitado. Sendo esta uma temática propensa à discussão e a conflituosidade de perspectivas e existindo sobre a mesma uma diminuta produção doutrinal na realidade angolana. Não há estudos em Angola sobre a possibilidade de tributação de rendimentos provenientes de actividades questionáveis legalmente. Encontramos menções indicativas na Constituição e nas leis infraconstitucionais. Neste âmbito, relevará sobretudo, esclarecer prima facie a delimitação de conceitos fundamentais, sua origem e os vários entendimentos que são dados ao conceito de rendimento, uma vez que é conotado como de origem na ciência económica

Vulnerability and Climate Change Induced Human Displacement
Creators: name: Jayawardhan, Shweta
Publisher: name: Consilience
Year: 2019

description: This paper addresses the relationship between vulnerability and climate change induced human population displacement. Anthropogenic climate change is increasingly altering the way people live. A significant consequence of the effects of climate change is human displacement due to climate effects such as hurricanes, sea level rise, and drought. People displaced by the effects of climate change suffer from a legal protection gap. Increasing global attention is being addressed at closing this gap. This paper explores the relationship between vulnerability and climate change induced displacement by analyzing case studies of hurricane induced displacement in the U.S. Gulf Coast, cyclone induced displacement in Bangladesh, and drought induced displacement in Somalia. Analysis of these case studies demonstrates that there is a relationship between socioeconomically vulnerable populations and displaced populations. Both in developed and developing countries, environmental displacement affects vulnerable populations disproportionately. Policy aimed at closing the legal protection gap for environmentally displaced persons should address the socioeconomic inequalities that make marginalized groups more vulnerable to climate change.

description: We study vortex lattice structures of a trapped Bose-Einstein condensate in a rotating lattice potential by numerically solving the time-dependent Gross-Pitaevskii equation. By rotating the lattice potential, we observe the transition from the Abrikosov vortex lattice to the pinned lattice. We investigate the transition of the vortex lattice structure by changing conditions such as angular velocity, intensity, and lattice constant of the rotating lattice potential.

description: Semantic hashing represents documents as compact binary vectors (hash codes) and allows both efficient and effective similarity search in large-scale information retrieval. The state of the art has primarily focused on learning hash codes that improve similarity search effectiveness, while assuming a brute-force linear scan strategy for searching over all the hash codes, even though much faster alternatives exist. One such alternative is multi-index hashing, an approach that constructs a smaller candidate set to search over, which depending on the distribution of the hash codes can lead to sub-linear search time. In this work, we propose Multi-Index Semantic Hashing (MISH), an unsupervised hashing model that learns hash codes that are both effective and highly efficient by being optimized for multi-index hashing. We derive novel training objectives, which enable to learn hash codes that reduce the candidate sets produced by multi-index hashing, while being end-to-end trainable. In fact, our proposed training objectives are model agnostic, i.e., not tied to how the hash codes are generated specifically in MISH, and are straight-forward to include in existing and future semantic hashing models. We experimentally compare MISH to state-of-the-art semantic hashing baselines in the task of document similarity search. We find that even though multi-index hashing also improves the efficiency of the baselines compared to a linear scan, they are still upwards of 33% slower than MISH, while MISH is still able to obtain state-of-the-art effectiveness.
