description: Multi-band photometric surveys provide a straightforward way to discover and classify astrophysical objects systematically, enabling the study of a large number of targets at relatively low cost. Here we introduce an alternative approach to select Accreting White Dwarf (AWD) candidates following their spectral energy distribution, entirely supported by the twelve photometric bands of the Southern Photometric Local Universe Survey (S-PLUS). The method was validated with optical spectroscopic follow-up with the Gemini South telescope which unambiguously established ten systems as cataclysmic variables (CVs), alongside Swift X-ray observations of four of them. Among the ten CVs presented here are those that may be low-luminosity intermediate polars or WZ Sge-type dwarf novae with rare outbursts, two subclasses that can be easily missed in time-domain and X-ray surveys, the two methods currently dominating the discovery of new CVs. Our approach based on S-PLUS provides an important, complementary tool to uncover the total population of CVs and the complete set of its subclasses, which is an important step towards a full understanding of close binary evolution, including the origin of magnetic fields in white dwarfs and the physics of accretion. Finally, we highlight the potential of S-PLUS beyond AWDs, serving other surveys in the characterization of their sources.

description: RNA regulates various cellular processes using malleable 3D structures and characterizing their structural dynamics is critical to shedding light on their mechanism of action. To mitigate continuing limitations on studies of large RNA by solution NMR spectroscopy, we have extended a recently described 2H-enhanced, 1H-15N correlation approach by developing a chemoenzymatic labeling technology that grafts selectively labeled [9-15N]-Guanine on to any available labeled ribose to make [9-15N]-GTP. The low CSA of the N9 nucleus (~112 ppm) in combination with extensive ribose deuteration leads to long-lived NMR signals that enable chemical shift assignment, analyze the structure of three biologically relevant large RNA constructs pivotal to viral life cycles [human hepatitis B virus ? RNA (61nt), the HIV-1 primer binding site segment RNA (103 nt), and the HIV-1 Rev response element (232 nt)], observe N9-H8 and N9-H1? correlations, and measure longitudinal and transverse relaxation rates for RNAs as large as 78 kDa. We show CSA dominates both N7 (>99%) and N9 (>90%) relaxation and enables straightforward analysis of dynamics. Taken together, application of these selective labels in conjunction with optimized NMR pulse sequences could help us push the limits of size restrictions in RNA NMR structural biology beyond 100 nt.

description: Wer geglaubt hatte, daß die 'größte Demokratie' der Welt seit 1975 endgültig in das Fahrwasser autoritärer Regime abgeglitten sei, sah sich mit der Ankündigung von Parlamentswahlen durch Indira Gandhi am 18.Januar 1977 eines Besseren belehrt. Nach der allgemeinen Verblüffung erhob sich sogleich die Frage, ob Indira Gandhi allen Kassandrarufen zum Trotz letzten Endes doch den demokratischen Traditionen und Spielregeln Indiens verpflichtet sei oder ob sie nur einen günstigen Moment ausnutzen wollte, um aus einem Legitimationsdefizit heraus ihre selbstherrliche Macht demokratisch zu verbrämen und durch Wahlen zusätzlich zu festigen. Bei dieser Frage scheiden sich heute noch die Geister. Daß Indira Gandhi und die von ihr dominierte Congress-Partei diese vorzeitig ausgerufenen Wahlen überlegen gewinnen würde, daran hatten Sympathisanten wie Gegner der indischen Ministerpräsidentin von Anbeginn keinen Zweifel. Welche Gründe mögen nun Indira Gandhi und ihre Ratgeber bewogen haben, zu diesem Zeitpunkt völlig überraschend die Abhaltung der Wahlen zu veranlassen?

description: Background: Active Support is a person-centred practice that enables people with intellectual disabilities (IDs) to engage in meaningful activities and social interactions. The Active Support Measure (ASM) is an observational tool designed to measure the quality of support that people with IDs living in supported accommodation services receive from staff. The aim of the study was to explore the underlying constructs of the ASM. Methods: Multilevel exploratory factor analysis was conducted on ASM data (n = 884 people with IDs across 236 accommodation services) collected during a longitudinal study of Active Support in Australian accommodation services. Results: Multilevel exploratory factor analysis indicated that 12 of the ASM's 15 items loaded on two factors, named Supporting Engagement in Activities and Interacting with the Person. Conclusions: The 12-item ASM measures two dimensions of the quality of staff support. Both technical and interpersonal skills comprise good Active Support.

description: Newer broad-spectrum beta-lactam antibiotics (cefiderocol, ceftazidime-avibactam, ceftolozane-tazobactam, imipenem-relebactam, meropenem-vaborbactam) have been introduced. Ceftazidime-avibactam and ceftolozane-tazobactam predominated newer antibiotic use through 2021; however, less is known about current use patterns and for what clinical indications, in inpatient settings. The aim of this study was to describe the use of these newer antibiotics across a large national cohort. We performed a retrospective cohort study of adults discharged from June 2022 through May 2023 among hospitals in the Premier Healthcare Database. Antibiotic utilization was ascertained from daily charge data, and clinical indication(s) were inferred from ICD-10 diagnosis codes. A stratified analysis was performed among patients receiving >3 days of antibiotic therapy to understand when these antibiotics are being used as definitive therapy. Across 832 hospitals, 3,890,557 admissions (61.9% of all admissions) included receipt of antibiotics. In 8,655 admissions (0.2% of antibiotic-prescribing admissions), newer antibiotics were prescribed (see Table 1 for patient demographic distribution). Ceftolozane-tazobactam was prescribed in 4157 (48%), 3660 (42.3%) ceftazidime-avibactam, 1060 (12.2%) cefiderocol, 456 (5.3%) meropenem-vaborbactam, and 99 (1.1%) imipenem-relebactam. Most patients who received newer antibiotics (69%, n=5,998) received them for greater than 3 days. Of these, ceftolozane-tazobactam was prescribed in 2607 admissions (43.5%), 2505 (41.7%) ceftazidime-avibactam, 832 (13.9%) cefiderocol, 332 (5.5%)meropenem-vaborbactam, and 68 (1.1%) imipenem-relebactam for greater than 3 days. Sepsis was the most common clinical indication for receipt of newer agents, followed by urinary tract infection (Table 2). Ceftazidime-avibactam and ceftolozane-tazobactam remain the most frequently prescribed new antibiotics, with uptake of subsequently approved agents trailing. Most of the prescribing of these antibiotics are for sepsis.
title: Towards robust visual understanding: A paradigm shift in computer vision from recognition to reasoning
Creators: name: Gokhale, Tejas
Publisher: name: Wiley
Year: 2024

description: Models that learn from data are widely and rapidly being deployed today for real-world use, but they suffer from unforeseen failures that limit their reliability. These failures often have several causes such as distribution shift; adversarial attacks; calibration errors; scarcity of data and/or ground-truth labels; noisy, corrupted, or partial data; and limitations of evaluation metrics. But many failures also occur because many modern AI tasks require reasoning beyond pattern matching and such reasoning abilities are difficult to formulate as data-based input–output function fitting. The reliability problem has become increasingly important under the new paradigm of semantic “multimodal” learning. In this article, I will discuss findings from our work to provide avenues for the development of robust and reliable computer vision systems, particularly by leveraging the interactions between vision and language. This article expands upon the invited talk at AAAI 2024 and covers three thematic areas: robustness of visual recognition systems, open-domain reliability for visual reasoning, and challenges and opportunities associated with generative models in vision.

description: The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) mission identified a potential 0.88R⊕ planet with a period of 7.577 days, orbiting the nearby M1V star GJ 341 (TOI 741.01). This system has already been observed by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to search for presence of an atmosphere on this planet. Here, we present an in-depth analysis of the GJ 341 system using all available public data. We provide improved parameters for the host star, an updated value of the planet radius, and support the planetary nature of the object (now GJ 341 b). We use 57 HARPS radial velocities to model the magnetic cycle and activity of the host star, and constrain the mass of GJ 341 b to upper limits of 4.0 M⊕ (3σ) and 2.9 M⊕ (1σ). We also rule out the presence of additional companions with M sin i > 15.1 M⊕, and P < 1750 days, and the presence of contaminating background objects during the TESS and JWST observations. These results provide key information to aid the interpretation of the recent JWST atmospheric observations and other future observations of this planet.

description: Co-infecting parasites modify infection outcomes in the wild. However, it is unclear how multiple environmental factors influence co-infection. The Chesapeake Bay metapopulation of the eastern oyster, Crassostrea virginica, provides an opportunity to test the importance of co-infection across heterogeneous environments because multiple parasites infect oysters across a broad salinity gradient. This study leverages Maryland and Virginia oyster monitoring for a large-scale survey of four co-infecting organisms, including two tissue parasites and two shell bio-eroding parasites. We diagnosed infection in 440 oysters across 16 paired harvested and unharvested reefs and tested the importance of co-infecting organisms for each parasite relative to environmental conditions, host traits, and marine spatial management. Microscopic visual methods were used to diagnose prevalence and intensity of tissue infections with Perkinsus marinus (the causative agent of dermo disease) and Haplosporidium nelsoni (the causative agent of MSX disease). Macroscopic visual methods were used to diagnose prevalence and intensity of shell infections with Cliona boring sponges and blister-inducing Polydora worms. For the three oyster parasites that were detected [H. nelsoni infections were absent in all oysters], salinity was the overall strongest predictor, corresponding to bay-wide patterns of parasite prevalence and/or intensity. Despite high environmental and spatial variation, co-infections corresponded to altered prevalence and/or intensity for all three oyster parasites. The correlational patterns suggest that P. marinus acts as a lynchpin in co-infection, as its intensity increased with Cliona sponge prevalence and P. marinus co-infection predicted higher Polydora blister intensity. Oyster shell height, reef habitat, and harvest status also predicted parasite prevalence and intensity, further reflecting the multivariate drivers of infections in this system. Unharvested reefs had greater vertical habitat structure and higher intensities of Cliona sponge infections, but no differences in the prevalence of any of the three parasites. Spatial patterns unexpectedly show that reef-level predictors of parasite patterns were more important than differences between tributaries. This correlational survey provides novel insights through the statistical relationships between the three oyster parasites, environmental conditions, host traits, and human resource management. New and more detailed scenarios are needed to expand disease ecological theory to encompass co-infection in anthropogenically impacted wildlife populations.

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.

description: In this study, a strategy and framework are developed to build a global Planetary Boundary Layer (PBL) height (PBLH) analysis and monitoring capability from multiple observing systems in the NASA Global Earth Observing System (GEOS) data assimilation system. To facilitate this effort, PBLH are derived from radiosonde and Global Navigation Satellite System Radio Occultation (GNSS-RO) refractivity data. As PBLH can be sensitive to potentially disparate observables and retrieval algorithms, new model PBLH definitions consistent with each observation type are added to the forecast model for the calculation of first guess departures from observations (OmF). These model definitions are augmented to the control variable vector, interacting with other control variables through flow-dependent ensemble background error covariance component. Moreover, to capture capping inversions, methods are explored using PBLH data to improve background error covariance through inflation of ensemble spread and adjustment of vertical localization length scale for virtual temperature and relative humidity variables. Experiments are conducted to assess the separate and combined impacts of these methods and the correlation relationships between PBLH and other control variables in the background error covariance. Preliminary results show that these changes are beneficial to the assimilation of other observations to improve the PBL thermodynamic structure.

description: The ever-evolving Internet of Things (IoT) has ushered in a new era of intelligent manufacturing across multiple industries. However, the security and privacy of real-time data transmitted over the public channel of the industrial IoT (IIoT) remain formidable challenges. Existing lightweight protocols often omit one or more critical security features, such as anonymity and untraceability, and are susceptible to threats like desynchronization attacks. Additionally, they struggle to achieve an optimal balance between robust security and performance efficiency. To bridge these gaps, we introduce a new lightweight key agreement security scheme that guarantees secure access to the IIoT-enabled flexible manufacturing system (FMS). The strength of our scheme lies in its utilization of the authenticated encryption with associative data (AEAD) primitive, AEGIS, along with hash functions and physical unclonable functions, which secure the IIoT ecosystem. Additionally, our scheme offers flexibility in the form of the addition of new machines, password updates, and revocation in cases of theft or loss. A comprehensive security analysis demonstrates the efficacy of the proposed scheme in thwarting various attacks. The formal analysis, based on the Real-Or-Random (RoR) model, ensures session key indistinguishability, while the informal analysis highlights its resilience against known attacks. The comparative assessment demonstrate that the proposed scheme consistently outperforms the benchmark schemes across multiple dimensions, including security and functionality features, computational and communication overheads, and runtime efficiency. Specifically, the proposed scheme achieves peak performance enhancements of 77.55%, 44.73%, and 69.6% in computational overhead, runtime overhead, and communication overhead, respectively, underscoring its substantial performance advantages.

description: The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) has a promising future, as its devices can monitor vital signs, offer treatment guidance, and perform real-time diagnostics using AI and wireless communication technologies. However, due to the difficulty of collecting patient data on a large scale and potential privacy risks, traditional centralized machine learning methods are often challenging to apply in IoMT devices. Federated learning, as a privacy-preserving technology, aims to build high-quality deep learning models across distributed clients while protecting data privacy. However, current popular federated learning methods exhibit suboptimal performance when dealing with non-IIDness data, especially in the case of long-tail class distributions, leading to unsatisfactory results. Additionally, due to privacy constraints on distributed clients, these methods cannot leverage traditional deep learning techniques to handle long-tail data, which is often characterized by long-tail heterogeneous distributions in IoMT. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a solution of Privacy-preserving Computing Client Scoring and Knowledge Distillation (FedLT+SKD). The method uses privacy protection computation to provide prior knowledge of global data class distribution while ensuring data privacy. Based on this prior knowledge, it employs a points-based sampling strategy to identify clients that perform well on long tail data and uploads their local model to the server. On the server side, the robustness of the global model is enhanced by collection distillation and imbalance correction. We verify the effectiveness of this method on the medical datasets ISIC, ChestX-ray14, MRI and also on the traditional datasets CIFAR-10-LT and CIFAR-100-LT, and the experimental results show that the method is superior to the popular federation and long-tail learning methods.

description: To mitigate climate change impacts, carbon capture technologies have been implemented at significant CO2 emission points, such as industrial sites and electric power generation facilities. Solvent-based carbon capture solutions are pivotal in reducing atmospheric CO2 levels and enhancing air quality by capturing harmful pollutants. Amine-based solvents, favored for their efficiency in post-combustion CO2 capture, are susceptible to thermal and oxidative degradation, leading to complex emissions profiles that demand comprehensive management strategies. We develop a Machine Learning model designed to predict future amine emissions in real-time, thereby assisting in the formulation of mitigation strategies required for the operation of capture plants. We conducted an experiment using data from test campaigns run at the Technology Centre Mongstad (TCM). We employed a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) autoencoder model with dual-stage attention mechanisms to predict amine emissions using historical data. The results were quite promising: we achieved a mean absolute percentage error ranging from 5.8% to 6.8% percent for the real-time prediction of amine emissions. The results are better than existing approaches using simpler machine learning models as well as the standard LSTM autoencoder model.

description: Matching attributes from different repositories is an important step in the process of schema integration to consolidate heterogeneous data silos. In order to recommend linkages between relevant attributes, a contextually rich representation of each attribute is quite essential, particularly when more than two database schemas are to be integrated. This paper introduces the SEALM approach to generate a data catalog of semantically rich attribute descriptions using Generative Language Models based on a new technique that employs six variations of available metadata information. Instead of using raw attribute metadata, we generate SEALM descriptions, which are used to recommend linkages with an unsupervised matching pipeline that involves a novel multi-source Blocking algorithm. Experiments on multiple schemas yield a 5% to 20% recall improvement in recommending linkages with SEALM-based attribute descriptions generated by the tiniest Llama3.1:8B model compared to existing techniques. With SEALM, we only need to process the small fraction of attributes to be integrated rather than exhaustively inspecting all combinations of potential linkages.

description: In 1972 the government of the Republic of Indonesia, the state oil corporation P. N. Pertamina und some oil companies of Japan and the United States set up a gigantic development program for the small 572 sq. km wide island of Batam. This undeveloped island of the Riau Archipelago with a population of about 8,000 persons (1973) is located about 20 km southeast of Singapore. Key project of the comprehensive development program is the construction of a big oil refinery able to reach a production capacity of 300,000 bbl/day and an oil harbour for receiving 200,000 dwt crude oil tankers. Besides the oil industry and several supporting industries the plan also enables agriculture and tourism to be developed. It is estimated that in the first stage of development (1974—1984) it will generate 40,000 new iobs to support a population of about 100,000 people. The development of Batam with an ultimate total population (beyond 1984) of about 600,000 persons can be a demonstration unit for other countries of Southeast Asia.

Zur Rolle von Parlament und Staatspräsident der VR China in der Kulturrevolution (1966-1969) und danach

description: With a few reservations which apply to the Council of State, the central State apparatus led a shadowy existence during the Cultural Revolution. During this time the Party leadership around Mao Tse-tung chiefly governed by means of “internal orders” which were passed on through the channels of command of the Party apparatus in the Army without following the normal procedure of being carried out by the civil government institutions. The convening of the IVth National People’s Congress which is overdue since January 1968 has still not taken place to this day owing to continued disputes over policy and personnel in the top echelons of the Party. It remains to be seen whether the Congress will retain the post of President of State that has been vacant since the fall of Liu Shao-ch’i and which is highly controversial in view of the Lin Piao affair. The 1970 draft of the Constitution provides for a Council of State, albeit one with its authority reduced, but there is no mention of a “Chairman of the People’s Republic of China”.

Die Grundzüge der Wirtschaftspolitik der Volksrepublik China seit der Kulturrevolution

description: This paper attempts to describe the main points of the economic policy of the People’s Republic of China since the end of the Cultural Revolution. It is maintained that the dualistic development strategy instituted at the outset of the Great Leap Forward has been adhered to all along. The balanced growth of what the Chinese planners see as the three main sectors of the economy has been the unchanging aim, with agriculture as the base and heavy industry as the leading factor, light industry providing the link. In pursuit of this the period under discussion is shown to follow a more pragmatic line characterised by calls for efficient and non-wasteful management of the economy and the payment of “rational wages” than did the more ideologically inclined policy of the Cultural Revolution, both nevertheless being essentially variations of the common basic strategy outlined above. A review of selected practical problems encountered in implementing this strategy is given in the final section.

description: Supraglacial lakes on the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) can impact both the ice sheet surface mass balance and ice dynamics. Thus, understanding the evolution and dynamics of supraglacial lakes is important to provide improved parameterizations for ice sheet models to enable better projections of future GrIS changes. In this study, we utilize the growing inventory of optical and microwave satellite imagery to automatically determine the fate of Greenland-wide supraglacial lakes during 2018 and 2019; low and high melt seasons respectively. We develop a novel time series classification method to categorize lakes into four classes: (a) Refreezing, (b) rapidly draining, (c) slowly draining, and (d) buried. Our findings reveal significant interannual variability between the two melt seasons, with a notable increase in the proportion of draining lakes, and a particular dominance of slowly draining lakes, in 2019. We also find that as mean lake depth increases, so does the percentage of lakes that drain, indicating that lake depth may influence hydrofracture potential. We further observe rapidly draining lakes at higher elevations than the previously hypothesized upper-elevation hydrofracture limit (1,600 m), and that non-draining lakes are generally deeper during the lower melt 2018 season. Our automatic classification approach and the resulting 2-year ice-sheet-wide data set provide new insights into GrIS supraglacial lake dynamics and evolution, offering a valuable resource for future research.
Armut und Unterbeschäftigung im ländlichen Indien und Ansätze zu ihrer Beseitigung

description: The economic solution of poverty is merely one component of a multi-dimensional transformation of the Indian society, and as such it is a task of gigantic scope. The economic reasons of poverty are to be found in the insufficient participation of parts of the rural population in the means of production, especially land and capital. Furthermore, poverty especially among agricultural labourers is closely linked with the problem of rural unemployment and underemployment, although these labourers are suffering less from a lack of supply of work than from low wages and professional immobility due to institutional restrictions.

description: Emergency departments around the United States struggle with staff shortages and overcrowding following the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting shutdowns. This study aims to create and examine models representing the probability of patients requiring multiple emergency department visits to better understand why some patients require recurrent emergency department treatments. The two models considered in this experiment are the Poisson Process and the “Frequent Flyer” Hypotheses. Ultimately, analyzing the data provided by the National Center for Health Statistics revealed that the Poisson Process does not accurately represent the realities of recurrent emergency department visits, but the “Frequent Flyer” Hypothesis does in some situations. It also revealed that there may be several lurking variables that compound to determine if a patient will require multiple emergency department visits, accounting for the inconsistencies of the “Frequent Flyer” Hypothesis.

description: Quantum thermometry refers to the study of measuring ultra-low temperatures in quantum systems. The precision of such a quantum thermometer is limited by the degree to which temperature can be estimated by quantum measurements. More precisely, the maximal precision is given by the inverse of the quantum Fisher information. In the present analysis, we show that quantum thermometers that are described by nonlinear Schrödinger equations allow for a significantly enhanced precision, that means larger quantum Fisher information. This is demonstrated for a variety of pedagogical scenarios consisting of single and two-qubits systems. The enhancement in precision is indicated by non-vanishing quantum speed limits, which originate in the fact that the thermal, Gibbs state is typically not invariant under the nonlinear equations of motion.

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: Binaural hearing, the ability to hear with two ears, helps individuals localize sound and understand speech in noisy environments. As individuals age, speech-in-noise understanding becomes more difficult, and this decline has been linked to both auditory and cognitive changes. This study investigates how processing speed, the rate at which the brain processes and receives stimuli, affects speech-in-noise understanding. The Coordinate Response Measure (CRM) evaluates how well a person separates speech from background noise. We hypothesized that individuals with higher processing speed would exhibit better speech-in-noise ability, with age acting as a moderator. Processing speed was measured with the NIH Pattern Comparison test, and binaural hearing abilities were assessed with CRM. Results revealed that higher Pattern Comparison scores significantly predicted better speech-in-noise recognition at 45° (p = 0.00026, R² = 0.478), suggesting that processing speed plays a role in spatial listening ability. However, when age was added to the model, Pattern Comparison was no longer a significant predictor (p = 0.5675), and age itself became the dominant predictor of performance (p = 0.0129). This indicates that age may act as a confounding factor in cognitive influences on speech-in-noise recognition. These findings highlight the role of cognitive factors in spatial and speech processing, particularly in more complex listening environments. Future research should explore how cognitive training can enhance binaural hearing, particularly in older individuals, and whether targeted interventions can improve spatial listening abilities.

description: Supermassive black holes (SMBH) are thought to grow through accretion of matter and mergers. Models of SMBH mergers have long suffered the final parsec problem, where SMBH binaries may stall before energy loss from gravitational waves (GW) becomes significant, leaving the pair unmerged. Direct evidence of coalesced SMBH remains elusive. Theory predicts that GW recoiling black holes can occur following a black hole merger. Here we present decisive spectroscopic evidence that the gas bound to the SMBH in the spatially offset quasar 3C 186 is blue-shifted relative to the host galaxy. This is exclusively explained by the GW recoil super-kick scenario. This confirmation of the ejection process implies that the final parsec problem is resolved in nature, providing evidence that even the most massive black holes can merge.
