description: We discuss nonminimal couplings of fermions to the electromagnetic field, which generically appear in models with extra dimensions. We consider models where the electromagnetic field is generated by the Kaluza-Klein mechanism. The nonminimal couplings contribute at tree-level to anomalous magnetic and electric dipole moments of fermions. We use recent measurements of these quantities to put limits on the parameters of models with extra dimensions.

description: Objectives: We aimed to study the epidemiology, prevalence, incidence, clinical manifestations, underlying diseases, treatments, outcomes, and societal impact through disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) of IA in Iran. Methods: A random-effect meta-analytic model was fitted to estimate the prevalence and incidence of IA in Iran. We also calculated DALYs. Results: Out of 79 published studies during the past 25 years from Iran, 23 met the inclusion criteria. A total of 2947 patients were included, of whom 396 (13.4%) patients were diagnosed with IA according to EORTC/MSG and ICU criteria. The main underlying condition for IA was hematologic disorders (39.4%). A. flavus 86 (43%) was the most common isolate. The pooled prevalence and incidence rates were 20.5 (95% CI 12.5 to 29.9) and 4.8 (95% CI 2.3–8.2) per 100,000 population, respectively. Total DALYs was estimated 164.13 per 100,000 population. YLLs constitute the majority of IA burden compared to YLDs (162.80 YLLs/100,000 population vs 1.33 YLDs per 100,000 population). The highest YLL rates were found in people aged 45–49 (62.9 YLLs/100,000 population) and 30–34 years (45.2 YLLs/100,000 population), respectively. Conclusion: This study indicates an increasing burden of IA in Iran, despite the extensive use of prophylaxis, challenging the public health, especially immunocompromised patients.

description: BPS walls and junctions are studied in ${\cal N}=1$ SUSY nonlinear sigma models in four spacetime dimensions. New BPS junction solutions connecting N discrete vacua are found for nonlinear sigma models with several chiral scalar superfields. A nonlinear sigma model with a single chiral scalar superfield is also found which has a moduli space of the topology of $S^1$ and admits BPS walls and junctions connecting arbitrary points in moduli space. SUSY condition in nonlinear sigma models are classified either as stationary points of superpotential or singularities of the Kähler metric in field space. The total number of SUSY vacua is invariant under holomorphic field redefinitions if we count ``runaway vacua'' also.

description: We consider a model of an elastic manifold driven on a disordered energy landscape, with generalized long range elasticity. Varying the form of the elastic kernel by progressively allowing for the existence of zero-modes, the model interpolates smoothly between mean field depinning and finite dimensional yielding. We find that the critical exponents of the model change smoothly in this process. Also, we show that in all cases the Herschel-Buckley exponent of the flowcurve depends on the analytical form of the microscopic pinning potential. This is a compelling indication that within the present elastoplastic description yielding in finite dimension $d\geq 2$ is a mean-field transition.

What affects students’ acceptance and use of technology?

description: Students’ acceptance and use of technologies introduced in their academic environments is an important factor in determining the success of these technologies. This research project used the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT), a prominent technology acceptance and use model, as a theoretical basis to conduct empirical research testing the factors that influence students’ acceptance and use of technology in their academic environment. Although several studies applied UTAUT in various organizational and cultural contexts, very few implement the full model and examine all of its constructs. By focusing on students in higher-education and technology that is new to them, and by using the full UTAUT model with no changes or elimination of constructs, this study places itself in the area where there are no exhaustive studies. Also, this research addresses the question of whether UTAUT is applicable in an academic environment for educational technologies introduced to the students. The study found a mixed support for UTAUT. Performance expectancy, effort expectancy, facilitating conditions and attitude towards using technology were significant determinants of technology acceptance. All moderating variables had a significant moderating influence except for experience, which was surprisingly not significant. The UTAUT model is found to be applicable to some extent in the educational setting, but might need a few modifications to fit the context. The study provides recommendations to help prepare the appropriate environment and training before a new technology is introduced for students. It also provides recommendation for further research examining students’ acceptance and use of technology.

description: The investigation of input-output systems often requires a sophisticated choice of test inputs to make best use of limited experimental time. Here we present an iterative algorithm that continuously adjusts an ensemble of test inputs online, subject to the data already acquired about the system under study. The algorithm focuses the input ensemble by maximizing the mutual information between input and output. We apply the algorithm to simulated neurophysiological experiments and show that it serves to extract the ensemble of stimuli that a given neural system ``expects'' as a result of its natural history.

description: The tidal interaction of a Be star with a binary companion forms two spiral arms that cause orbital modulation of the Be disc structure. The aim of this work is to identify observables in which this modulation is apparent. The structure of a Be disc in a coplanar circular binary system is computed with a smoothed-particle hydrodynamics code, and a radiation transfer code calculates the spectral energy distribution. Line depolarisation was confirmed, with polarisation profiles nearly reverse to emission-line profiles. The continuum flux maximizes for pole-on discs, but photometric variability maximizes for edge-on discs. The linear polarisation exhibits one or two maxima per orbital cycle. While polarisation variability in visible passbands is important only at low inclinations, infrared bands may demonstrate high orbital variability even at large inclinations. More evident is the modulation in the polarisation angle (PA) for low inclinations. The latter can be used to track azimuthal asymmetries for pole-on discs, where the spectroscopic variability in the violet-to-red (V/R) emission-component ratio disappears. PA reversals coincide with phases where V/R=1, tracking lines of sight directed towards regions where the approaching and receding arms overlap. Continuum flux and polarisation are mostly in phase for neighbouring wavelength regions. It is suggested that studies of non-symmetric discs distorted by tidal forces from a secondary star may be used to study disc variabilities of other origins.

description: Topology is a powerful recent concept asserting that quantum states could be globally protected against local perturbations. Dissipationless topologically protected states are thus of major fundamental interest as well as of practical importance in metrology and quantum information technology. Although topological protection can be robust theoretically, in realistic devices it is often fragile against various dissipative mechanisms, which are difficult to probe directly because of their microscopic origins. By utilizing scanning nanothermometry, we visualize and investigate microscopic mechanisms undermining the apparent topological protection in the quantum Hall state in graphene. Our simultaneous nanoscale thermal and scanning gate microscopy shows that the dissipation is governed by crosstalk between counterpropagating pairs of downstream and upstream channels that appear at graphene boundaries because of edge reconstruction. Instead of local Joule heating, however, the dissipation mechanism comprises two distinct and spatially separated processes. The work generating process that we image directly and which involves elastic tunneling of charge carriers between the quantum channels, determines the transport properties but does not generate local heat. The independently visualized heat and entropy generation process, in contrast, occurs nonlocally upon inelastic resonant scattering off single atomic defects at graphene edges, while not affecting the transport. Our findings offer a crucial insight into the mechanisms concealing the true topological protection and suggest venues for engineering more robust quantum states for device applications.

description: In this paper, B=3 soliton solutions with tetrahedral symmetry are obtained numerically in the chiral quark soliton model using the rational map ansatz. The solution exhibits a triply degenerate bound spectrum of the quark orbits in the background of tetrahedrally symmetric pion field configuration. The corresponding baryon density is tetrahedral in shape. Our numerical technique is independent on the baryon number and its application to $B \geq 4$ is straightforward.

description: Single top quark cross section evaluations for the complete sets of tree-level diagrams in the $e^+ e^-$, $e^- e^-$, $γe$ and $γγ$ modes of the next linear collider with unpolarized and polarized beams are performed within the Standard Model and beyond. From comparison of all possibilities we conclude that the process $γ_+ e^-_L \to e^- t \bar b$ is extremely favoured due to large cross section, no $t \bar t$ background, high degrees of beam polarization, and exceptional sensitivities to $V_{tb}$ and anomalous $Wtb$ couplings. Similar reasons favour the process $e^- e^- \to e^- ν_e \bar t b$ for probing top quark properties despite a considerably lower cross section. Less favourable are processes like $e^+ e^-, γγ\to e^- ν_e t \bar b$. Three processes were chosen to probe their sensitivity to anomalous $Wtb$ couplings, with best bounds found for $γ_+ e^-_L \to e^- t \bar b$ and $e^+_R e^-_R \to e^- ν_e t \bar b$.

description: We analyze the performance of the 2-rate $(1+λ)$ Evolutionary Algorithm (EA) with self-adjusting mutation rate control, its 3-rate counterpart, and a $(1+λ)$~EA variant using multiplicative update rules on the OneMax problem. We compare their efficiency for offspring population sizes ranging up to $λ=3,200$ and problem sizes up to $n=100,000$. Our empirical results show that the ranking of the algorithms is very consistent across all tested dimensions, but strongly depends on the population size. While for small values of $λ$ the 2-rate EA performs best, the multiplicative updates become superior for starting for some threshold value of $λ$ between 50 and 100. Interestingly, for population sizes around 50, the $(1+λ)$~EA with static mutation rates performs on par with the best of the self-adjusting algorithms. We also consider how the lower bound $p_{\min}$ for the mutation rate influences the efficiency of the algorithms. We observe that for the 2-rate EA and the EA with multiplicative update rules the more generous bound $p_{\min}=1/n^2$ gives better results than $p_{\min}=1/n$ when $λ$ is small. For both algorithms the situation reverses for large~$λ$.

description: Three economic opportunities are presented for rural areas in this invited paper session: selfemployment, investments in broadband infrastructure, and agritourism. Self-employment has shown growth in rural regions at the expense of wage and salary employment in the longterm. Production agriculture interests by themselves are unlikely to provide sufficient funding to expand infrastructure for broadband in rural areas. Agritourism approaches appear to be very wide ranging with many educational demands needing to be met to maximize its diversification possibilities. Research and extension faculty should be careful to focus on explaining the tradeoffs of these opportunities so that rural stakeholders do not fall victim to the latest academic economic development fad.

In particulary, the introduction of two times physics or pair-creation of bulk spaces or identification of one of spatial coordinates with imaginary time (non-zero temperature) may be required.

description: We study the nature of Damped Lyman -Alpha systems (DLAs) by means of a comparison between observed abundances and models of chemical evolution of galaxies of different morphological type. In particular, we compare for the first time the abundance ratios as functions of metallicity and redshift with dust-corrected data. We have developed detailed models following the evolution of several chemical elements (H, D, He, C, N, O, Ne, Mg, Si, S, Fe, Ni and Zn) for elliptical, spiral and irregular galaxies. Each of the models is calibrated to reproduce the main features of a massive elliptical, the Milky Way and the LMC, respectively. In addition, we run some models also for dwarf irregular starburst galaxies. All the models share the same uptodate nucleosynthesis prescriptions but differ in their star formation histories. The role of SNe of different type (II, Ia) is studied in each galaxy model together with detailed and up to date nucleosynthesis prescriptions. Our main conclusions are: 1) when dust depletion is taken into account most of the claimed alpha/Fe overabundances disappear and DLAs show solar or subsolar abundance ratios. 2) The majority of DLAs can be explained either by disks of spirals observed at large galactocentric distances or by irregular galaxies like the LMC or by starburst dwarf irregulars observed at different times after the last burst of star formation. 3) Elliptical galaxies cannot be DLA systems since they reach a too high metallicity at early times and their abundance ratios show overabundances of $α$-elements relative to Fe over a large range of [Fe/H]. 4) The observed neutral gas cosmic evolution is compared with our predictions but no firm conclusions can be drawn in the light of the available data.

description: Online social media has become one of the most important ways for authoritarian regimes to maintain their resilience. When authoritarian regimes are faced with challenges, what options would they take to defend their regime? This paper takes Hong Kong protests and early-stage COVID-19 as two examples to study how the Chinese official Weibo accounts responded to these crises. This paper leverages text analysis to mine, explore, and learn from Weibo posts related to these crises. This paper seeks to answer how do these Weibo accounts change during and after the crises, including their word frequency, topic, keywords, and sentiment scores.
Note on the Extraction of |V_{ub}| using Radiative B Decays

description: The element |V_{ub}| of the quark mixing matrix can be extracted with small theoretical uncertainties by combining weighted integrals over the endpoint regions of the lepton spectrum in B -> X_u l nu decays and the photon spectrum in B -> X_s gamma decays. The perturbative corrections to this determination are computed at next-to-leading order including operator mixing, which has an important impact. The effect of Sudakov resummation is shown to be numerically insignificant.

The Effect of Vertebral Body Tethering on Spine Motion in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis: A Pilot Study

Posterior Spinal Fusion and Instrumentation

description: The current gold standard for the surgical treatment of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is posterior spinal fusion and instrumentation (PSF); however, decreased normal spine function, strain on unfused vertebrae and pain have been suggested as long-term complications with this technique. Vertebral body tethering (VBT) is a novel and minimally invasive approach for scoliosis correction that does not involve fusion and may theoretically preserve spine motion. VBT involves the use of screws and a tether that are inserted thoracoscopically on the convexity of the spine curvature in skeletally immature patients, allowing progressive curve correction as skeletal maturity is achieved. No research to date has explored the effect of VBT on spine motion in AIS. Therefore, the purpose of this thesis was to retrospectively compare global and intersegmental spine range of motion in adolescents (9-18 years of age) without spine deformity, adolescents with untreated AIS, adolescents having undergone PSF, and adolescents having undergone VBT to gain insight on the effect of VBT on spine motion. Twenty participants were recruited into four groups including Control (n = 6), untreated AIS (n = 5), post-operative PSF (n = 4) and post-operative VBT (n = 5). Three-dimensional kinematics of the spine were collected and analyzed using an intersegmental spine model during constrained forward flexion, right-left lateral bending, and right-left axial twist movements. The PSF group displayed significantly lower spine ROM than the two non-operative groups during thoracic and total left axial twist (p ≤ 0.048), whereas thoracic and total spine range of motion during right-left lateral bending is almost equally lower in the PSF (p ≤ 0.03) and VBT (p ≤ 0.01) groups when compared to the Control and AIS groups. These results may suggest some preservation of spine motion in the transverse plane following VBT; however further investigation with a greater sample size and a prospective study design is needed to support and prove the theoretical preservation of spine motion following VBT.

description: In the modern world of technology Internet-of-things (IoT) systems strives to provide an extensive interconnected and automated solutions for almost every life aspect. This paper proposes an IoT context-aware system to present an Ambient Intelligence (AmI) environment; such as an apartment, house, or a building; to assist blind, visually-impaired, and elderly people. The proposed system aims at providing an easy-to-utilize voice-controlled system to locate, navigate and assist users indoors. The main purpose of the system is to provide indoor positioning, assisted navigation, outside weather information, room temperature, people availability, phone calls and emergency evacuation when needed. The system enhances the user's awareness of the surrounding environment by feeding them with relevant information through a wearable device to assist them. In addition, the system is voice-controlled in both English and Arabic languages and the information are displayed as audio messages in both languages. The system design, implementation, and evaluation consider the constraints in common types of premises in Kuwait and in challenges, such as the training needed by the users. This paper presents cost-effective implementation options by the adoption of a Raspberry Pi microcomputer, Bluetooth Low Energy devices and an Android smart watch.

description: Three new flavonol glycosides, fissflavosides A-C (1–3), together with six known flavonol glycosides, kaempferol 3-O-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)-β-D-galactopyranoside (4), kaempferol 3-O-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→6)-β-D-galactopyranoside (5), kaempferol 3-O-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→6)-β-D-glucopyranoside (6), rhamnetin 3-O-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)-β-D-glucopyranoside (7), rutin (8), and isorhamnetin 3-O-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)-β-D-galactopyranoside (9) were isolated from the methanol extract of the Fissistigma pallens leaves. Their chemical structures were determined by 1D-, 2D-NMR, and MS data as well as in comparison with reported data in the literature. Compounds 1–9 showed weak cytotoxic activity on three human cancer cell lines, HT-29, A-2058, A-549 with IC50 ranging from 134.6 to 162.6 µM. In addition, the antioxidant capacities of compounds were also tested by ORAC assay. All compounds showed significant antioxidant with trolox equivalents ranging from 4.4 to 8.6 µM at the concentration of 1.0 µM. The results indicated 7 and 8 having meaningful reducing capacity of copper (I) ions of 2.7 to 6.9 µM at the concentrations of 1 and 2 µM. Compounds 1-3 newly isolated from the leaves of Fissistigma pallens and showed significant antioxidant activity.

description: In this paper, we will continue to study the model of black holes coupled to the radial flows of dark matter (RDM-stars). According to recent studies, this model well describes the experimental Rotation Curves (RCs) of spiral galaxies, also, RDM-stars can produce signals with the characteristics of Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs). In this paper, we will perform a combined analysis of experimental data on RCs and FRBs, which will allow to constrain tighter parameters of the model. We will also show that within the framework of the model, the Tully-Fisher relation with a slope of $ β= 3-4 $ can be obtained. Further, several particular solutions will be considered: tachyonic oven -- a solution in which the incoming flow of tachyons turns into an outgoing flow of massive particles; shell condensate -- a naked singularity of negative mass covered by a thin shell of positive mass, so that the Schwarzschild solution of negative mass inside is joined to one of positive mass outside; also, an RDM solution with a cosmological constant will be considered. Further, in the model under consideration, Penrose diagrams will be constructed, which share common features with Schwarzschild solutions of positive and negative mass, whose combination the model is. The mechanism of effective formation of negative masses in the model is discussed, which is activated when the density of the central core exceeds the Planck value, similarly to the previously studied quantum bounce effect.

description: With the prosperity of the Short Message Service (SMS), the increasing number of spam messages has become a serious problem. The need to block spam messages requires us to develop new SMS spam detection technologies. The Transformer, an attention- based sequence to sequence model, has achieved excellent results in multiple different tasks recently. In this thesis, we propose a modified Transformer model for SMS spam messages detection. The evaluation of our proposed modified spam Transformer is performed on SMS Spam Collection v.1 dataset and UtkMl’s Twitter Spam Detection Competition dataset, with the benchmark of multiple established classifiers such as Logistic Regression, Na ̈ıve Bayes, Random Forests, Support Vector Machine, and Long Short-Term Memory. In comparison to all other candidates, our experiments show that the proposed modified spam Transformer achieves the best results in terms of almost all selected performance criteria.

description: This paper examines two interrelated issues in commodity markets, namely, the cyclical relationship between stocks and commodities and the function of commodity and agribusiness indexes in portfolios. A high negative correlation has existed between stock and commodity prices over the past 140 years. Moreover, the two markets have alternated in price leadership with 29–32-year cycles. The recent price dominance in agricultural commodities started in 2000, a result supported by the empirical results of the portfolio allocation analysis. For a risk-averse investor, irrespective of the period analyzed, placing funds in agribusiness and/or agricultural commodity indexes was sound investing.
