description: The liver performs critical physiological functions, including metabolizing and removing substances, such as toxins and drugs, from the bloodstream. Hepatotoxicity itself is intimately linked to abnormal hepatic transport and hepatotoxicity remains the primary reason drugs in development fail and approved drugs are withdrawn from the market. For this reason, we propose to analyze, across liver compartments, the transport kinetics of fluorescein-a fluorescent marker used as a proxy for drug molecules-using intravital microscopy data. To resolve the transport kinetics quantitatively from fluorescence data, we account for the effect that different liver compartments (with different chemical properties) have on fluorescein's emission rate. To do so, we develop ordinary differential equation transport models from the data where the kinetics are related to the observable fluorescence levels by "measurement parameters" that vary across different liver compartments. On account of the steep non-linearities in the kinetics and stochasticity inherent to the model, we infer kinetic and measurement parameters by generalizing the method of parameter cascades. For this application, the method of parameter cascades ensures fast and precise parameter estimates from noisy time traces.

description: A series of new acyl thiourea derivatives containing aniline moiety were designed and synthesized. The preliminary herbicidal activity tests showed that some compounds had good herbicidal activity against Digitaria adscendens, Amaranthus retroflexus, especially for compound 4j (N-((4-chloro-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)carbamothioyl)-4-(methylsulfonyl)-2-nitrobenzamide) and 4 l (N-((2-bromo-5-fluorophenyl)carbamothioyl)-4-(methylsulfonyl)-2-nitrobenzamide). The results showed that compound 4j and 4l had an inhibition rate of 98% and 96% on the root growth of Brassica napus L. at the concentration of 100 mg L−1. Compounds 4j and 4 l had higher comparative activity on Echinochloa crusgalli than the commercial herbicide bensulfuron-methyl. The preliminary structure–activity relationship (SAR) was also summarized. We also tested the in vivo AHAS enzyme activity inhibition experiment of 17 compounds at 100 mg L−1, and the results showed that they all have inhibitory activity on the enzyme, with the highest inhibition rate reaching 43.66% (compound 4l). Based on the results of molecular docking to yeast acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS), the possible herbicidal activity mechanism of these compounds was evaluated.

description: The strongly correlated metals U2Pt2In and U3Ni3Sn4 show pronounced non-Fermi liquid (NFL) phenomena at ambient pressure. Here we review single-crystal electrical resistivity measurements under pressure (p <= 1.8 GPa) conducted to investigate the stability of the NFL phase. For tetragonal U2Pt2In (I||a) we observe a rapid recovery of the Fermi-liquid T^2-term with pressure. The Fermi-liquid temperature varies as T_FL ~ p-p_c, where p_c= 0 is a critical pressure. The analysis within the magnetotransport theory of Rosch provides evidence for the location of U2Pt2In at a zero pressure antiferromagnetic quantum critical point (QCP). In the case of cubic U3Ni3Sn4 we find T_FL ~ (p-p_c)^1/2. The analysis provides evidence for an antiferromagnetic QCP in U3Ni3Sn4 at a negative pressure p_c= -0.04+-0.04 GPa.

description: A novel approach for calculating Casimir forces between periodically deformed objects is developed. This approach allows, for the first time, a rigorous non-perturbative treatment of the Casimir effect for disconnected objects beyond Casimir's original two-plate configuration. The approach takes into account the collective nature of fluctuation induced forces, going beyond the commonly used pairwise summation of two-body van der Waals forces. As an application of the method, we exactly calculate the Casimir force due to scalar field fluctuations between a flat and a rectangular corrugated plate. In the latter case, the force is found to be always attractive.

description: The COMPentency Instrument (COMπ) is meant for measuring, assessing and evaluating transversal competencies in engineering education. The original COMPentency Instrument was created based on the existing transversal competency model of Siemens, the Netherlands, and is part of the PREFER project. This instrument is composed of 36 sub-competencies with four descriptive mastery levels (absent, basic, advanced, and expert) divided into five domains (entrepreneurial, innovation, teamwork, communication and lifelong learning competencies). This instrument was validated through exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses with an engineering student population and was reduced to 25 sub-competencies, divided into the same five domains: Entrepreneurial: includes items related to finances, markets and business opportunities. Innovation: is characterised by items that lead to the generation of ideas and solutions. Teamwork: is defined by the ability to work in groups respecting cultural differences and disciplines of knowledge, listening attentively and managing issues. Communication: is characterised by oral communication and the ability and confidence to express information to different audiences. Lifelong learning: is defined by self-management, in terms of professional needs, strengths and weaknesses, stick to timeframes and search for continuous improvement autonomously.

description: By modifying Beukers' proof of Apery's theorem that zeta(3) is irrational, we derive criteria for irrationality of Euler's constant, gamma. For n > 0, we define a double integral I(n) and a positive integer S(n), and prove that if d(n) = LCM(1,...,n), then the fractional part of logS(n) is given by {logS(n)} = d(2n)I(n), for all n sufficiently large, if and only if gamma is a rational number. A corollary is that if {logS(n)} > 1/2^n infinitely often, then gamma is irrational. Indeed, if the inequality holds for a given n (we present numerical evidence for 0 < n < 2500 and n = 10000) and gamma is rational, then its denominator does not divide the product d(2n)Binomial(2n,n). We prove a new combinatorial identity in order to show that a certain linear form in logarithms is in fact logS(n). A by-product is a rapidly converging asymptotic formula for gamma, used by P. Sebah to compute it correct to 18063 decimals.

Learning-based estimation of dielectric properties and tissue density in head models for personalized radio-frequency dosimetry

description: Radio-frequency dosimetry is an important process in human safety and for compliance of related products. Recently, computational human models generated from medical images have often been used for such assessment, especially to consider the inter-variability of subjects. However, the common procedure to develop personalized models is time consuming because it involves excessive segmentation of several components that represent different biological tissues, which limits the inter-variability assessment of radiation safety based on personalized dosimetry. Deep learning methods have been shown to be a powerful approach for pattern recognition and signal analysis. Convolutional neural networks with deep architecture are proven robust for feature extraction and image mapping in several biomedical applications. In this study, we develop a learning-based approach for fast and accurate estimation of the dielectric properties and density of tissues directly from magnetic resonance images in a single shot. The smooth distribution of the dielectric properties in head models, which is realized using a process without tissue segmentation, improves the smoothness of the specific absorption rate (SAR) distribution compared with that in the commonly used procedure. The estimated SAR distributions, as well as that averaged over 10-g of tissue in a cubic shape, are found to be highly consistent with those computed using the conventional methods that employ segmentation.

description: Proton-proton (pp) collisions have been traditionally used as a baseline measurement in the search for a deconfined state of matter in heavy-ion collisions at ultrarelativistic energies. The unprecedented collision energies that are available at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at the European Laboratory for Nuclear Research (CERN) have illuminated new challenges in understanding the possible formation of droplets of this deconfined matter of partonic degrees of freedom in hadronic collisions, especially in high-multiplicity events. Enhancement of multi-strange particles compared to pions, degree of collectivity, comparable freeze-out temperature with heavy-ion collisions, observation of a long-range ridge-like structure for high-multiplicity events are some of the experimental observations in this direction. In this article, we discuss some of the experimental observables and outline new theoretical directions to understand the possibilities of exploring the formation of QGP-droplets in pp collisions at the LHC.

description: Social media messages posted by people during natural disasters often contain important location descriptions, such as the locations of victims. Recent research has shown that many of these location descriptions go beyond simple place names, such as city names and street names, and are difficult to extract using typical named entity recognition (NER) tools. While advanced machine learning models could be trained, they require large labeled training datasets that can be time-consuming and labor-intensive to create. In this work, we propose a method that fuses geo-knowledge of location descriptions and a Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT) model, such as ChatGPT and GPT-4. The result is a geo-knowledge-guided GPT model that can accurately extract location descriptions from disaster-related social media messages. Also, only 22 training examples encoding geo-knowledge are used in our method. We conduct experiments to compare this method with nine alternative approaches on a dataset of tweets from Hurricane Harvey. Our method demonstrates an over 40% improvement over typically used NER approaches. The experiment results also show that geo-knowledge is indispensable for guiding the behavior of GPT models. The extracted location descriptions can help disaster responders reach victims more quickly and may even save lives.

description: The symmetry of superconductivity in borocarbides LuNi2B2C and YNi2B2C is an outstanding issue. Here an anisotropic s- wave order parameter (or s+g model) is proposed for these borocarbides. In spite of the dominant s- wave component the proposed superconducting order parameter has nodes and gives rise to the H^(1/2) dependent specific heat in the vortex state (the Volovik effect). This model predicts the fourfold symmetry both in the angular dependent thermal conductivity and in the excess Dingle temperature in the vortex state, which should be readily accessible experimentally.

Subjects: subject: Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics (cond-mat.mes-hall)

description: In this work we introduce a thermal magnetotorsional effect (TME) as a novel topological response in magnetic Weyl semimetals. We predict that magnetization gradients perpendicular to the Weyl node separation give rise to temperature gradients depending only on the local positions of the Weyl nodes. The TME is a consequence of magnetization-induced effective torsional spacetime geometry and the finite temperature Nieh-Yan anomaly. Similarly to anomalous Hall effect and chiral anomaly, the TME has a universal material-independent form. We predict that the TME can be observed in magnetic Weyl semimetal EuCd$_2$As$_2$.

description: UFe₂ is one of rare examples of combination of 3d and 5f magnetism in a compound with relatively high TC = 162 K. U-excess is known to reduce the TC value markedly. To prepare the Laves phase with an Fe excess is much more difficult. It can be achieved by sputter deposition, but the structure becomes amorphous. TC can increase at least to 240 K (for UFe₄), but the segregation of α-Fe cannot be avoided for very high Fe concentrations.

We find an expression for an entropy current which satisfies a local version of second law onshell in this regime. We also derive the membrane equations upto leading order in $1/D$ but non-perturbatively in $β$ for EGB gravity. In this regime we write down an expression for a world-volume stress tensor of the membrane and also work out the effective membrane equation for stationary black holes.

 Pyura tasmanensis Kott 1985, p 331.
 Distribution
Previously recorded (see Kott 1985): Tasmania (Ralph’s Bay, Roches Beach, Tasman Head, Port Davey). New records: Tasmania (Port Davey, 3–25 m, SAM E2875; Tasmanian Canyons (Big Horseshoe—Broken Reef, 115 m)).
 Description
The newly recorded specimens do not appear to be in aggregates. In preservation both specimens are almost spherical with a wrinkled test. Apertures are close together on the upper surface, although the dorsal lamina is moderately long. Branchial tentacles usually are long, with short primary and smaller secondary and tertiary branches, although the specimen from the Tasmanian Canyons has short, inconspicuous tentacles without secondary or tertiary branches. Siphons are lined with long overlapping siphonal spines. Six folds are on each side of the branchial sac with up to 28 internal longitudinal vessels per fold and up to 12 between. Crowded endocarps are on the descending limb of the gut loop and on the gonads. A conspicuous green liver diverticulum branches off the gut in the pyloric region. Each of the two lips of the anal border is divided into two.
 Remarks
 The species is distinguished from P. stolonifera by its long dorsal lamina and the more numerous internal longitudinal vessels between the folds. The siphonal spines of P. stolonifera are seldom more than 0.1 mm long, while those of P. tasmanensis sometimes are as much as 0.2 mm (see Kott 1985) and the gut loop of the latter species has a narrower curved gut loop with up to 15 pairs of polycarp sacs. Pyura stolonifera has a more open gut loop with only about eight pairs of hermaphrodite gonads.

Using winding number, we find the projective symmetry group that characterizes the quantum order directly determines the pattern of Fermi points in the Brillouin zone. Thus quantum orders provide an origin for gapless fermionic excitations.

description: We present the results of a study of discrete X-ray sources in NGC 6946 using a deep Chandra ACIS observation. Based on the slope of the log N-log S distribution and the general correlation of sources with the spiral arms, we infer that the overall discrete source sample in NGC 6946 is dominated by high mass X-ray binaries, in contrast to the source distributions in M31 and the Milky Way. This is consistent with the higher star formation rate in NGC 6946 than in those galaxies. We find that the strong X-ray sources in the region of the galactic center do not correlate in detail with images of the region in the near-IR, although one of them may be coincident with the galactic center. The non-central ultra-luminous X-ray source in NGC 6946, previously identified with a supernova remnant, has an X-ray spectrum and luminosity that is inconsistent with either a traditional pulsar wind nebula or a blast wave remnant.

description: We present here the temperature dependence of heat capacity ($C$($T$)) and thermal conductivity ($κ$($T$)) in the superconducting state as well as in the normal state of as-cast V$_{1-x}$Zr$_x$ alloys. Distinct jumps in the $C$($T$) of the alloys indicate the presence of three superconducting phases with transition temperatures $T_{C1}$ = 5.4~K, $T_{C2}$ = 8.2~K and $T_{C3}$ = 8.5~K. From the metallography micrographs, these three phases are identified to be $β$-V, $γ$-ZrV$_2$, and $γ'$-ZrV$_2$ respectively. Apart from these phases, $α$-Zr and $β$-Zr phases are also detected in these samples. The experimental $κ$($T$) in the superconducting state of these alloys is observed to be significantly higher than that expected theoretically. Our analysis suggests that the above observation is due to the coexistence of multiple superconducting and non superconducting phases which resulted in the two-parallel channels for the conduction of heat.

description: The objectives of this research were to design and estimate an agricultural wealth account for the province of Quebec and to demonstrate how this information can be used in the decision making process. A hedonic pricing model was used to calculate the value of the agricultural wealth account based on the implicit prices of the attributes of the physical account. The estimated account includes both an estimate of the physical characteristics of the agricultural land inventory and the valuation of that inventory. The information generated from the wealth account will be used to illustrate its use to estimate “green GDP” for the agriculture sector and to account for land use and land use changes. Implicitly pricing the attributes of agricultural land provides a more flexible means of estimating the potential impact of agricultural land policy on the value of the wealth account. This method can fulfill an important informational gap about the behaviour of the asset facing various exogenous shocks.

description: There is increasing evidence that improved agricultural technologies benefit smallholder farmers in sub-Saharan Africa. This evidence is however relatively clearer for innovations in smallholder crop production systems as compared to innovations in livestock production systems. Moreover, it is unclear whether the benefits of technology adoption in livestock systems are uniform across small and relatively large farmers. This study uses a national representative sample of 906 households to rigorously assess the impact of adoption of improved dairy cow breeds on enterprise-, household-, and individual child-level nutrition outcomes in Uganda. We find that adopting improved dairy cows significantly increases milk yield, household’s orientation to milk markets, and food expenditure. Consequently, adoption substantially reduces household poverty and stunting for children younger than age five. Considering heterogeneity, we find that adopting households with small farms increase milk yield, food expenditure and reduce poverty substantially while large farms increase not only ownmilk consumption and commercialization but also nutrition outcomes of children younger than age five.

 Cynthia irregularis Herdman 1882, p 141.
 Pyura irregularis: Kott 1985, p 305 and synonymy.
 Distribution
Previously recorded (see Kott 1985): Tasmania (Hobart, d’Entrecasteaux Channel, Port Davey), Victoria (Bass Strait, Port Phillip Bay, Westernport), New South Wales (Port Jackson). New records: Tasmania (Port Davey, SAM E2876, E2878, E2888; Tasmanian Canyons (Big Horseshoe—Broken Reef, 115 m)).
 Description
These specimens resemble other material assigned to this species, which is indigenous and confined to a limited geographic range in southeastern Australia from south of Tasmania to the mid-eastern coast of the continent. The test is dark brown in preservative and is sandy and brittle, ridged and wrinkled. Anteriorly the body narrows to the terminal branchial aperture and the atrial opening on a conspicuous siphon about halfway down where the body suddenly increases in diameter. The siphons usually are turned away from each other. The peritubercular-V is characteristically long and narrow (about half the length of the dorsal lamina). The U-shaped slit on the dorsal tubercle (deep in the V) has both horns turned in. There are seven or eight branchial folds with up to 20 tough internal longitudinal vessels on the folds and three or four between. The gut forms a simple open D-shaped loop. The anal border is divided into pronounced rounded lobes. Gonads (one on each side of the body) are separated into double rows of hermaphrodite sacs each side of the gonoducts and endocarps are on gonads and the descending limb of the gut loops.
 Remarks
The species is readily identified by its tough wrinkled test, long siphons turned away from each other, the dorsal tubercle deep in the long peritubercular V and the open D-shaped gut loop with endocarps on it.

On the Holway-Weiss Debate: Convergence of the Grad-Moment-Expansion in Kinetic Gas Theory

description: Moment expansions are used as model reduction technique in kinetic gas theory to approximate the Boltzmann equation. Rarefied gas models based on so-called moment equations became increasingly popular recently. However, in a seminal paper by Holway [Phys. Fluids 7/6, (1965)] a fundamental restriction on the existence of the expansion was used to explain sub-shock behavior of shock profile solutions obtained by moment equations. Later, Weiss [Phys. Fluids 8/6, (1996)] argued that this restriction does not exist. We will revisit and discuss their findings and explain that both arguments have a correct and incorrect part. While a general convergence restriction for moment expansions does exist, it cannot be attributed to sub-shock solutions. We will also discuss the implications of the restriction and give some numerical evidence for our considerations.

description: Hartmeyeria formosa Herdman, 1882

 Hartmeyeria formosa: Kott 1985, p 363 and synonymy.
 Distribution
 Previously recorded (see Kott 1985): Victoria (Bass Strait, Port Phillip Bay); New South Wales (Port Jackson); Queensland (Moreton Bay, Gladstone, Abbot Point, Townsville, Mossman); Torres Strait. New record: Queensland (15.245 ° S, 145.375 ° E, 23 m; 16.705 ° S, 146.125 ° E, 34 m; 18.94 ° S, 146.365 ° E, 8 m).
 Remarks
The newly recorded specimens are within the geographic range previously recorded for this species from Torres Strait in the north to Bass Strait in the south along the eastern coast. They are small and only one has been taken from each location. As previously reported, the specimens are top-shaped with the test produced into branched papillae that are longer anteriorly, sometimes forming a ring of bristles around each aperture. The six wide branchial folds on each side and the long, flat dorsal lamina with a fringe of papillae on the edge are as previously described (see Kott 1985).
 Hartmeyeria psammiferus (Monniot et al., 2001), as Microcosmus psammiferus in Monniot et al. 2001, from South Africa, has gut loop and gonads arranged as in the present species. The spines in the outer part of the siphons also may be similar to those of the present species, although this is difficult to determine as their bases cannot be seen in the scanning electron micrographs (which obscure the base of the spines) of Monniot et al. (2001, Figure 51B, C: Microcosmus psammophorus sic!). However the urn-shaped spicules at the base of the siphons have not been detected in H. formosa. Further, the dorsal lamina of the latter species is fringed with tongue-shaped lobes that are not present in the South African species (which has irregular indentations) and the species appear to be distinct. Nevertheless, they appear to be congeneric. In both species, as in others in this genus, the branchial sac has six folds on each side and the second most dorsal folds on each side are significantly narrower than the others. Monniot et al. (2001) appear to have overlooked the fact that H. formosa has a stalk when suggesting that the absence of a stalk separated it from the genus Hartmeyeria. The absence of a stalk from H. psammiferus (which has all the other generic characters of the genus and is similar to H. formosa in so many characters) suggests that the presence or absence of a stalk may not always be significant at the generic level.

description: We show that two electrons confined in a square semiconductor quantum dot have two isolated low-lying energy eigenstates, which have the potential to form the basis of scalable computing elements (qubits). Initialisation, one-qubit and two-qubit universal gates, and readout are performed using electrostatic gates and magnetic fields. Two-qubit transformations are performed via the Coulomb interaction between electrons on adjacent dots. Choice of initial states and subsequent asymmetric tuning of the tunnelling energy parameters on adjacent dots control the effect of this interaction.

description: Standard influenza vaccines are produced using egg-based manufacturing methods. Through the process, the resulting egg-adapted viral strains may differ from the selected vaccine strain. Cell-derived influenza vaccine manufacturing prevents egg-adaptation of the antigen which can improve vaccine effectiveness. We evaluated the cost-effectiveness of quadrivalent cell-derived influenza vaccine (QIVc) versus an egg-based quadrivalent influenza vaccine (QIVe) in preventing seasonal influenza from German societal and payer perspectives. Adapted version of the individual-based dynamic 4Flu transmission model was combined with a decision-tree to calculate the impact of QIVc versus QIVe on influenza over 20 seasons in Germany. Egg-adaptation, resulting in lower effectiveness of QIVe versus QIVc towards the H3N2 influenza strain, is sourced from a US retrospective study and assumed in 100% (base case) or 55% (conservative scenario) of years. Influenza-related probabilities of outpatient visits, hospitalizations, productivity loss, and mortality, with associated (dis)utilities/costs, were extracted from literature. Costs and outcomes were discounted 3.0%/year. Replacing QIVe with QIVc in subjects aged ≥ 9 years can annually prevent 167,265 symptomatic cases, 51,114 outpatient visits, 2,091 hospitalizations, and 103 deaths in Germany. The annual number of quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) increased by 1,628 and healthcare costs decreased by €178 M from societal perspective. From payer perspective, the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio was €2,285 per QALY. Scenario analyses confirmed results robustness. The use of QIVc compared to QIVe, in the German Immunization Program, could significantly prevent outpatient visits and hospitalizations and would enable substantial savings from a societal perspective.

description: In both mobile and web applications, speeding up user interface response times can often lead to significant improvements in user engagement. A common technique to improve responsiveness is to precompute data ahead of time for specific activities. However, simply precomputing data for all user and activity combinations is prohibitive at scale due to both network constraints and server-side computational costs. It is therefore important to accurately predict per-user application usage in order to minimize wasted precomputation ("predictive precompute"). In this paper, we describe the novel application of recurrent neural networks (RNNs) for predictive precompute. We compare their performance with traditional machine learning models, and share findings from their large-scale production use at Facebook. We demonstrate that RNN models improve prediction accuracy, eliminate most feature engineering steps, and reduce the computational cost of serving predictions by an order of magnitude.
