description: We study the dynamics of vortices in a Bose-Einstein condensate
 within a rotating four-site lattice which can be effectively
 described by a multimode model. Such a vortex dynamics develops
 along the low-density paths that separate the sites, and it is
 ruled by the phase differences between them. Hence, by appropriately
 selecting the initial conditions for on-site populations and phase
 differences, one can access distinct types of evolutions. We show
 that, by choosing equal populations in alternate sites, one can
 construct two-mode model Hamiltonians which allows us to model a
 large variety of associated vortex orbits. In particular, one can
 select the type of trajectory of the vortex and predict the creation
 and annihilation of vortex-antivortex pairs near the trap center.
 Estimates for the periods of closed vortex orbits and for the times
 that the vortices spend inside the lattice when dealing with open
 orbits, are obtained in terms of the two-mode models parameters and
 the rotation frequency only. We believe that the present study
 establishes a suitable platform to engineer different vortex
 dynamics.

Exposure-Aware Signal Design for Millimeter Wave MIMO Communication Systems

Subjects: Wireless communication systems and technologies (incl. microwave and millimetrewave)

description: All wireless devices expose users to some level of electromagnetic radiation during operation. In many countries, exposure levels are strictly regulated to ensure the safety of consumers. Previous research demonstrates that incorporating exposure constraints into transmit signal design leads to substantial capacity gains over traditional power back-off techniques. This is especially vital for millimeter wave systems, which require large array gains to combat high path losses and are more susceptible to a decrease in transmit power. In this work, we present exposure modeling procedures and exposure-aware transmission schemes for millimeter wave systems. We first develop methods to approximate the characteristic matrix of a quadratic model for two exposure measures in the millimeter wave band: incident power density and surface specific absorption rate (SAR). The proposed models can be calculated with a small number of parameters and can be altered to account for changes in the exposure scenario. Software simulations with half-wave dipole antennas corroborate the accuracy of the exposure models in the millimeter wave band. We then exploit the ability of the model to calculate exposure at any point surrounding the device to develop efficient exposure-aware signaling strategies. Finally, we propose a low-complexity perturbation approach to obtain exposure-compliant beamforming vectors. Analytical and numerical results demonstrate that the proposed exposure-aware signaling techniques outperform power reduction approaches.

description: The dark sector offers a compelling theoretical framework for addressing the nature of dark matter while potentially solving other fundamental problems in physics. This review focuses on light dark flavored sector models, which are those where the flavor structure of the interactions with the standard model is non-trivial and distinguish among different fermion families. Such scenarios feature flavor violation leading to unique experimental signatures, such as flavor-changing neutral current decays of heavy hadrons (kaons, $D$ and $B$ mesons, baryons) and leptons (muons and taus) with missing energy carried away by light dark-sector particles. In this article, we review their motivation, summarize current constraints, highlight discovery opportunities in ongoing and future flavor experiments, and discuss implications for astrophysics and cosmology.

description: Avian influenza H5N1 is a highly pathogenic virus that primarily affects birds. However, it can also infect other animal species, including mammals. We report the infection of nine juvenile red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) with Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza A type H5N1 (Clade 2.3.4.4b) in the spring of 2022 in the central, western, and northern regions of New York, USA. The foxes displayed neurologic signs, and examination of brain and lung tissue revealed lesions, with brain lesions ranging from moderate to severe meningoencephalitis. Analysis of tissue tropism using RT-PCR methods showed a comparatively lower Ct value in the brain, confirmed by in situ hybridization targeting Influenza A RNA. The viral RNA labelling was highly clustered and overlapped the brain lesions, neurons, and grey matter. Whole genome sequences obtained from the affected foxes were subjected to phylogenetic and mutation analysis to determine influenza A clade, host specificity, and potential occurrence of viral reassortment. Infections in red foxes likely occurred due to preying on infected wild birds and are unlikely due to transmission between foxes or other mammals.

description: Although frequently seen as outlandish radicals, the Spiritualist movement in its first half a century bore a striking resemblance to mainstream social mores, and especially to the mass-produced death culture of mid to late nineteenth-century America.  Spiritualists shaped themselves in reaction to socially accepted attitudes towards death, and in so doing expressed many of the same beliefs and feelings, rearticulated to set themselves apart.  Were it completely separated from the pervading forms of Nineteenth-century death culture, Spiritualism would have had nothing to shape itself in relation to and would likely have lacked much of its power to endure.  Spiritualism owes its rise and endurance, in large part, to the death culture it so loudly decried.  Without an elaborate culture of death and dying, there could be no place for Spiritualists in nineteenth-century America.

description: Chemical investigation of the aerial parts of Pentzia monodiana Maire led to the isolation and identification of one sesquiterpene lactone glucoside of the guaianolide type (dihydropseudoivalin-4-O-β-d-glucopyranoside), along with nine known compounds including one diterpenoid, two sesquiterpenoids, three lignanes and three flavonoids. Their structures were established on the basis of spectroscopic analysis. All these compounds were evaluated for their DPPH radical scavenging and tyrosinase inhibitory activities. Only lignanes and flavonoids showed good to moderate DPPH radical scavenging activity with EC50 ranging from 10.6 to 47.5 μM. The new sesquiterpene lactone glucoside showed low tyrosinase inhibitory activity whereas the isolated lignanes and flavonoids exhibited a moderate activity with IC50 ranging from 45.4 to 97.2 μM).

description: Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection remains one of the major global public health concerns, and it develop into liver fibrosis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Recent evidence suggests that endosomal and autophagic vesicles are beneficial for HBV replication. However, it has not been well elucidated how HBV exploits such intracellular vesicle systems for its replication. RAB5A, a member of small GTPase family, plays crucial roles in early endosome biogenesis and autophagy initiation. We observed that RAB5A mRNA and protein levels were significantly increased in HBV-expressing hepatoma cell lines as well as in liver tissue samples from chronic HBV-infected patients. Moreover, RAB5A silencing inhibited HBV replication and subviral particle (SVP) expression significantly in HBV-transfected and -infected hepatoma cells, whereas RAB5A overexpression increased them. Mechanistically, RAB5A increases HBV replication through enhancement of early endosome (EE) – late endosome (LE) activation by interacting with EEA1, as well as enhancing autophagy induction by interacting with VPS34. Additionally, HBV infection enhances RAB5A-mediated dual activation of EE-LE system and autophagy. Collectively, our findings highlight that HBV utilizes RAB5A-mediated dual activation of endosomal and autophagic vesicle pathways for its own replication and persistence. Therefore, RAB5A is a potential target for chronic HBV infection treatment.

description: Current research in deep learning is primarily focused on using Python as a support language. Go, an emerging language, that has many benefits including native support for concurrency has seen a rise in adoption over the past few years. However, this language is not widely used to develop learning models due to the lack of supporting libraries and frameworks for model development. In this thesis, the use of Go for the development of neural network models in general and convolution neural networks is explored. The proposed study is based on a Go-CUDA implementation of neural network models called GoCuNets. This implementation is then compared to a Go-CPU deep learning implementation that takes advantage of Go's built in concurrency called ConvNetGo. A comparison of these two implementations shows a significant performance gain when using GoCuNets compared to ConvNetGo.

description: For a long time, the collection of data through sensors and other means was seen as inconsequential. However, with the somewhat recent developments in the areas of machine learning, data science, and statistical analysis, as well as in the rapid growth of computational power being allotted by the ever-expanding computer industry, data is not just being seen as secondhand information anymore. Data collection is showing that it currently is and will continue to be a major driving force in many applications, as the predictive power it can provide is invaluable. One such area that could benefit dramatically from the use of predictive techniques is the steel industry. This thesis applied several machine learning techniques to predict steel deformation issues collectively known as the hook index problem [1].
The first machine learning technique utilized in this endeavor was neural networking. The neural networks built and tested in this research saw the use of classification and regression prediction models. They also implemented the algorithms of gradient descent and adaptive moment estimation. Through the employment of these networks and learning strategies, as well as through the line process data, regression-based networks made predictions with average percent error ranging from 106-114%. In similar performance to the regression-based networks, classification-based networks made predictions with average accuracy percentage ranges of 38-40%.
To remedy the problems relating to neural networks, Bayesian networking techniques were implemented. The main method that was used as a model for these networks was the Naïve Bayesian framework. Also, variable optimization techniques were utilized to create well-performing network structures. In the same vein as the neural networks, Bayesian networks used line process data to make predictions. The classification-based networks made predictions with average accuracy ranges of 64-65%. Because of the increased accuracy results and their ability to draw causal reasoning from data, Bayesian networking was the preferred machine learning technique for this research application.

description: Immature feathers are known replication sites for high pathogenicity avian influenza viruses (HPAIVs) in poultry. However, it is unclear whether feathers play an active role in viral transmission. This study aims to investigate the contribution of the feather epithelium to the dissemination of clade 2.3.4.4b goose/Guangdong/1996 lineage H5 HPAIVs in the environment, based on natural and experimental infections of domestic mule and Muscovy ducks. During the 2016–2022 outbreaks, H5 HPAIVs exhibited persistent and marked feather epitheliotropism in naturally infected commercial ducks. Infection of the feather epithelium resulted in epithelial necrosis and disruption, as well as the production and environmental shedding of infectious virions. Viral and feather antigens colocalized in dust samples obtained from poultry barns housing naturally infected birds. In summary, the feather epithelium contributes to viral replication, and it is a likely source of environmental infectious material. This underestimated excretion route could greatly impact the ecology of HPAIVs, facilitating airborne and preening-related infections within a flock, and promoting prolonged viral infectivity and long-distance viral transmission between poultry farms.

description: A novel model of systematic errors for the regression of Poisson data is applied to hypothesis testing of nested model components with the introduction of a generalization of the $ΔC$ statistic that applies in the presence of systematic errors. This paper shows that the null-hypothesis parent distribution of this $ΔC_{sys}$ statistic can be obtained either through a simple numerical procedure, or in a closed form by making certain simplifying assumptions. It is found that the effects of systematic errors on the test statistic can be significant, and therefore the inclusion of sources of systematic errors is crucial for the assessment of the significance of nested model component in practical applications. The methods proposed in this paper provide a simple and accurate means of including systematic errors for hypothesis testing of nested model components in a variety of applications.

description: There is tremendous heterogeneity in the severity of COVID-19 disease in the human population, and the mechanisms governing the development of severe disease remain incompletely understood. The emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern (VOC) Delta (B.1.617.2) and Omicron (B.1.1.529) further compounded this heterogeneity. Virus replication and host cell damage in the distal lung is often associated with severe clinical disease, making this an important site to consider when evaluating pathogenicity of SARS-CoV-2 VOCs. Using distal human lung organoids (hLOs) derived from multiple human donors, we compared the fitness and pathogenicity of SARS-CoV-2 VOC Delta and Omicron, along with an ancestral clade B variant D614G, and evaluated donor-dependent differences in susceptibility to infection. We observed substantial attenuation of Omicron in hLOs and demonstrated enhanced susceptibility to Omicron and D614G replication in hLOs from one donor. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that increased susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 infection in these hLOs was associated with reduced tonic interferon signaling activity at baseline. We show that hLOs can be used to model heterogeneity of SARS-CoV-2 pathogenesis in humans, and propose that variability in tonic interferon signaling set point may impact susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 VOCs and subsequent COVID-19 disease progression.

description: Wastewater-based surveillance is a valuable approach for monitoring COVID-19 at community level. Monitoring SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern (VOC) in wastewater has become increasingly relevant when clinical testing capacity and case-based surveillance are limited. In this study, we ascertained the turnover of six VOC in Alberta wastewater from May 2020 to May 2022. Wastewater samples from nine wastewater treatment plants across Alberta were analysed using VOC-specific RT-qPCR assays. The performance of the RT-qPCR assays in identifying VOC in wastewater was evaluated against next generation sequencing. The relative abundance of each VOC in wastewater was compared to positivity rate in COVID-19 testing. VOC-specific RT-qPCR assays performed comparatively well against next generation sequencing; concordance rates ranged from 89% to 98% for detection of Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Omicron BA.1 and Omicron BA.2, with a slightly lower rate of 85% for Delta (p < 0.01). Elevated relative abundance of Alpha, Delta, Omicron BA.1 and BA.2 were each associated with increased COVID-19 positivity rate. Alpha, Delta and Omicron BA.2 reached 90% relative abundance in wastewater within 80, 111 and 62 days after their initial detection, respectively. Omicron BA.1 increased more rapidly, reaching a 90% relative abundance in wastewater after 35 days. Our results from VOC surveillance in wastewater correspond with clinical observations that Omicron is the VOC with highest disease burden over the shortest period in Alberta to date. The findings suggest that changes in relative abundance of a VOC in wastewater can be used as a supplementary indicator to track and perhaps predict COVID-19 burden in a population.
A Bryoflora of the Indian Heaven Wilderness, Gifford Pinchot National Forest, Washington
Creators: name: Yamada, Aiko
Publisher: name: Washington State University

Subjects: Bryophyte

description: Bryophyte distributions and abundance data are grossly underrepresented in floristics studies throughout the United States. The Gifford Pinchot National Forest, in Washington State, covers 1.3 million acres and extends from Mt. Rainier National Park to the Columbia River. The purpose of this study was to inventory the bryophytes of the Indian Heaven Wilderness, located in the eastern portion of the Gifford Pinchot National Forest in Skamania County. The Indian Heaven Wilderness consists of 84.1 km2 of protected land and ranges in elevation from 823 m to 1,372 m. The area was historically used for huckleberry (Vaccinium membranaceum) cultivation by the local Native Americans. The Indian Heaven Wilderness forested land is second-growth because of the historical burning of the land to promote huckleberry harvests. The habitats of the study area consist of rocky outcrops, open meadows, Douglas-fir-dominated forests, lakes, and streams. Based on historical records and our collecting efforts a total of 1,033 bryophyte specimens have been documented in the Indian Heaven Wilderness and vicinity. We collected 74 moss species representing 20 different families, and 62 of these species have not been previously described in the Indian Heaven Wilderness. One of the moss species collected, Gemmabryum vinosum J.R. Spence & K.M. Kellman, was not previously recorded as far north as Washington State. We collected 12 liverwort species representing 9 different families, and 2 of these species have not been previously documented in the Indian Heaven Wilderness. The bryoflora of the Indian Heaven Wilderness is a start to increasing sampling efforts of bryophytes through Washington State. An increase in bryophyte distribution data will aid in rarity assessment and conservation planning.

Attendance and Social Interdependence in Game Development Labs
Creators: name: McCord, Brantly E
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2020
Subjects: Other engineering not elsewhere classified

description: This is an exploratory research study aimed toward steadying attendance across a semester of higher education video game development labs with attention to cooperation as a co-factor. Following the observation of unusually strong attendance in a highly cooperative game development lab class which aligns with these theories, this paper seeks to explore whether subfactors of positive social interdependence are co-factors with lab attendance. Sparked by previous case data, this exploratory study examines data from the Fall 2019 iteration of the introductory video game development course, defining and measuring potential co-factor variables during an individual-focused half of the course supplemented with group activity, and a fully group-focused half of the semester, with future interest in investigating a correlation between attendance and positive interdependence. Empirical studies of both the performance impact of attendance, and the financial reliance of residential higher education institutions on student attendance and retention suggest that understanding how to operationalize students’ motivation to attend class is epistemically and fiscally valuable. Studies of positive interdependence raise interest as a co-factor contextually through high commitment, joint efficacy, and mutual benefit, strongly overlapping with empirical antecedents of higher education retention and seminal social psychological frameworks. Therefore, the author began an intended extensive analysis of consecutive semesters. All students enrolled in the Fall 2019 introductory game development course (n=56 for students with matched data sets, 59 retained participant students total) were engaged in cooperatively-designed lectures and lab activities, with the first half of the semester’s lighter collaborative activity and independent assigned work to be compared to the second half’s full-time group project work. Between these designed halves, two null hypotheses were assessed: 1) lab attendance in the first half of the semester is equivalent to the second half, and 2) subfactors of positive interdependence in the first half of the semester are equivalent to the second half. Attendance proportions and surveyed positive interdependence measures for the Fall 2019 semester were analyzed using paired sample t-tests. Attendance, and a majority of positive interdependence subfactors were not significantly different across halves of the semester, suggesting that collaboration had evened results across the whole, but not all effects reached their target results. The Classroom Life Instrument was used to formally measure the presence of a positive interdependent context before and after group project work.

description: Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection remains one of the major global public health concerns, and it develop into liver fibrosis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Recent evidence suggests that endosomal and autophagic vesicles are beneficial for HBV replication. However, it has not been well elucidated how HBV exploits such intracellular vesicle systems for its replication. RAB5A, a member of small GTPase family, plays crucial roles in early endosome biogenesis and autophagy initiation. We observed that RAB5A mRNA and protein levels were significantly increased in HBV-expressing hepatoma cell lines as well as in liver tissue samples from chronic HBV-infected patients. Moreover, RAB5A silencing inhibited HBV replication and subviral particle (SVP) expression significantly in HBV-transfected and -infected hepatoma cells, whereas RAB5A overexpression increased them. Mechanistically, RAB5A increases HBV replication through enhancement of early endosome (EE) - late endosome (LE) activation by interacting with EEA1, as well as enhancing autophagy induction by interacting with VPS34. Additionally, HBV infection enhances RAB5A-mediated dual activation of EE-LE system and autophagy. Collectively, our findings highlight that HBV utilizes RAB5A-mediated dual activation of endosomal and autophagic vesicle pathways for its own replication and persistence. Therefore, RAB5A is a potential target for chronic HBV infection treatment.

description: Immature feathers are known replication sites for high pathogenicity avian influenza viruses (HPAIVs) in poultry. However, it is unclear whether feathers play an active role in viral transmission. This study aims to investigate the contribution of the feather epithelium to the dissemination of clade 2.3.4.4b goose/Guangdong/1996 lineage H5 HPAIVs in the environment, based on natural and experimental infections of domestic mule and Muscovy ducks. During the 2016-22 outbreaks, H5 HPAIVs exhibited persistent and marked feather epitheliotropism in naturally infected commercial ducks. Infection of the feather epithelium resulted in epithelial necrosis and disruption, as well as the production and environmental shedding of infectious virions. Viral and feather antigens colocalized in dust samples obtained from poultry barns housing naturally infected birds. In summary, the feather epithelium contributes to viral replication, and it is a likely source of environmental infectious material. This underestimated excretion route could greatly impact the ecology of HPAIVs, facilitating airborne and preening-related infections within a flock, and promoting prolonged viral infectivity and long-distance viral transmission between poultry farms.

description: Wastewater-based surveillance is a valuable approach for monitoring COVID-19 at community-level. Monitoring SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern (VOC) in wastewater has become increasingly relevant when clinical testing capacity and case-based surveillance are limited. In this study, we ascertained the turnover of six VOC in Alberta wastewater from May 2020 to May 2022. Wastewater samples from 9 wastewater treatment plants across Alberta were analyzed using VOC-specific RT-qPCR assays. The performance of the RT-qPCR assays in identifying VOC in wastewater was evaluated against next generation sequencing. The relative abundance of each VOC in wastewater was compared to positivity rate in COVID-19 testing. VOC-specific RT-qPCR assays performed comparatively well against next generation sequencing; concordance rates ranged from 89 to 98% for detection of Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Omicron BA.1 and Omicron BA.2, with a slightly lower rate of 85% for Delta (p < 0.01). Elevated relative abundance of Alpha, Delta, Omicron BA.1 and BA.2 were each associated with increased COVID-19 positivity rate. Alpha, Delta and Omicron BA.2 reached 90% relative abundance in wastewater within 80, 111 and 62 days after their initial detection, respectively. Omicron BA.1 increased more rapidly, reaching a 90% relative abundance in wastewater after 35 days. Our results from VOC surveillance in wastewater correspond with clinical observations that Omicron is the VOC with highest disease burden over the shortest period in Alberta to date. The findings suggest that changes in relative abundance of a VOC in wastewater can be used as a supplementary indicator to track and perhaps predict COVID-19 burden in a population.
