Malaysia aspires to be a developed nation according to its own frame by 2020. As highlighted by the Minister of Education, the education system is deeply implicated in developing the quality of the nation's human capital so there is a need to upgrade the knowledge, skills and competencies of the system's human capital. In order to achieve it, the education system must be able to prepare pupils adequately for life-long learning and to produce a workforce capable of exploiting ICT to participate in the new economic opportunities. And for this, the teacher education institute should be prepared for these innovations. My thesis is on Malaysian Teacher Educators in Teacher Education Institutes in Malaysia perception in embracing mobile learning/technology into their programs. A quantitative method design is used, where the results is used to help explain the findings in the quantitative survey. The survey is based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT), which was developed by Venkatesh et al. in 2003 and shown to outperform eight preceding models, explaining 70% of the variance in user intentions. Results and recommendations for future research in the application of the UT AUT model are discussed to better understand the factors that influence teacher educators' perception of the use of mobile technology/learning into their program.

description: For charged black holes in Horava-Lifshitz gravity, a second order phase transition takes place in extended phase space where the cosmological constant is taken as thermodynamic pressure. We relate the second order nature of phase transition to the fact that the phase transition occurs at a sharp temperature and not over a temperature interval. Once we know the continuity of the first derivatives of the Gibbs free energy, we show that all the Ehrenfest equations are readily satisfied. We study the effect of the perturbation of the cosmological constant as well as the perturbation of the electric charge on thermodynamic stability of Horava-Lifshitz black hole. We also use thermodynamic geometry to study phase transition in extended phase space. We investigate the behavior of scalar curvature of Weinhold, Ruppeiner, and Quevedo metric in extended phase space of charged Horava-Lifshitz black holes. It is checked if these curvatures could reproduce the result of specific heat for the phase transition.

description: We review our recent proposals for the on-demand generation of entangled few-electron states using dynamic single-electron sources. The generation of entanglement can be traced back to the single-electron entanglement produced by quantum point contacts acting as electronic beam splitters. The coherent partitioning of a single electron leads to entanglement between the two outgoing arms of the quantum point contact. We describe our various approaches for generating and certifying entanglement in dynamic electronic conductors and we quantify the influence of detrimental effects such as finite electronic temperatures and other dephasing mechanisms. The prospects for future experiments are discussed and possible avenues for further developments are identified.

description: This paper studies the generalization error of invariant classifiers. In particular, we consider the common scenario where the classification task is invariant to certain transformations of the input, and that the classifier is constructed (or learned) to be invariant to these transformations. Our approach relies on factoring the input space into a product of a base space and a set of transformations. We show that whereas the generalization error of a non-invariant classifier is proportional to the complexity of the input space, the generalization error of an invariant classifier is proportional to the complexity of the base space. We also derive a set of sufficient conditions on the geometry of the base space and the set of transformations that ensure that the complexity of the base space is much smaller than the complexity of the input space. Our analysis applies to general classifiers such as convolutional neural networks. We demonstrate the implications of the developed theory for such classifiers with experiments on the MNIST and CIFAR-10 datasets.

description: Die Umbrüche nach 1989 eröffneten für die niederschlesische Stadt Breslau neue Wege, mit seinem „fremden Erbe“ umzugehen. Nach über 40 Jahren politisch erzwungenen kollektiven Vergessens war das Tabu der multiethnischen und insbesondere deutschen Vergangenheit der Stadt gebrochen. Diese Stadt ist nämlich Teil des Gebietes, welches von einer massiven Zwangsmigration betroffen war. Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg, als entsprechend den Bestimmungen der Potsdamer Konferenz 1945 die Grenzen europäischer Nationalstaaten neu gezogen wurden, folgte die „Umsiedlung“ von zwölf Millionen Menschen. Weite Teile multiethnischer Grenzgebiete, die für Zentral- und Osteuropa vor dem Zweiten Weltkrieg typisch waren, sollten von da an unter dem kommunistischen Diktat, zu monoethnischen Staaten werden. Die kulturelle Vielfalt in diesem von Hannah Arendt als „belt of mixed populations“ bezeichneten Territorium war 1989 nahezu vollständig homogenisiert worden.

Mit diesem Brückenschlag zum „anderen“ – besseren – Preußen hätte die Suche nach einer vom 20.

description: The evolution of small magnetic features in quiet regions of the Sun provides a unique window to probing solar magneto-convection. Here we analyze small scale magnetic features in the quiet Sun, using the high resolution, seeing-free observations from the Sunrise balloon borne solar observatory. Our aim is to understand the contribution of different physical processes, such as splitting, merging, emergence and cancellation of magnetic fields to the rearrangement, addition and removal of magnetic flux in the photosphere. We employ a statistical approach for the analysis and the evolution studies are carried out using a feature tracking technique. In this paper we provide a detailed description of the feature tracking algorithm that we have newly developed and we present the results of a statistical study of several physical quantities. The results on the fractions of the flux in the emergence, appearance, splitting, merging, disappearance and cancellation qualitatively agrees with other recent studies. To summarize, the total flux gained in unipolar appearance is an order of magnitude larger than the total flux gained in emergence. On the other hand, the bi-polar cancellation contributes nearly an equal amount to the loss of magnetic flux as unipolar disappearance. The total flux lost in cancellation is nearly $6-8$ times larger than the total flux gained in emergence. One big difference between our study and previous similar studies is that thanks to the higher spatial resolution of Sunrise we can track features with fluxes as low as $9\times10^{14}$ Mx. This flux is nearly an order of magnitude lower than the smallest fluxes of the features tracked in the highest resolution previous studies based on Hinode data.

description: We have studied the collective motion of polar active particles confined to ellipsoidal surfaces. The geometric constraints lead to the formation of vortices that encircle surface points of constant curvature (umbilics). We have found that collective motion patterns are particularly rich on ellipsoids, with four umbilics where vortices tend to be located near pairs of umbilical points to minimize their interaction energy. Our results provide a new perspective on the migration of living cells, which most likely use the information provided from the curved substrate geometry to guide their collective motion.

description: The article discusses the organism`s adaptive capabilities of different age groups in the population with the use of cardiointervalography and hemodynamic parameters. There was a decrease in the total power of the heart rate variability spectrum and the power of all spectral parameters with an increasing age. In age groups 1 and 2, LF, % and VLF, % were more pronounced, there was a significant predominance of VLF, % in group 2, which reflected an increase in the level of the sympathetic link regulation activity. A more significant increase in the power of very low frequency oscillations indicates an increase in the influence of the central circuit of regulation along with an increase in the cerebral ergotropic influences. Assessment of oxidative metabolism by fluorescence spectroscopy showed an increase in the indicator in group 2, with a tendency to decrease in group 3 as compared to the values of group 1. The performed analysis of the frequency-amplitude spectrum revealed changes in the reactivity of the structures of the microvasculature depending on age. An increase in the volume of blood entering the microcirculation system was recorded, but the regulatory effect on microcirculation was different: group 2 was dominated by central mechanisms of regulation, in group 3 there was a predominance of local regulatory mechanisms. Thus, with age, there is a decrease in the adaptive reserves of the body with a tension in the regulatory vegetative homeostasis and a transition from nervous mechanisms of regulation to a lower level of humoral mechanism.

description: We study Lamé operators of the form $$L = -\frac{d^2}{dx^2} + m(m+1)ω^2\wp(ωx+z_0),$$ with $m\in\mathbb{N}$ and $ω$ a half-period of $\wp(z)$. For rectangular period lattices, we can choose $ω$ and $z_0$ such that the potential is real, periodic and regular. It is known after Ince that the spectrum of the corresponding Lamé operator has a band structure with not more than $m$ gaps. In the first part of the paper, we prove that the opened gaps are precisely the first $m$ ones. In the second part, we study the Lamé spectrum for a generic period lattice when the potential is complex-valued. We concentrate on the $m=1$ case, when the spectrum consists of two regular analytic arcs, one of which extends to infinity, and briefly discuss the $m=2$ case, paying particular attention to the rhombic lattices.

description: The aim of the study was the IR spectroscopic and chromatographic analysis of products formed during the ozonation of fish oil. Fish oil samples were ozonized using an ozone therapy apparatus with an ozone destructor «Medozons-O3» (Nizhny Novgorod, Russia). The study of the chemical composition of fish oil ozonolysis products was performed on a Shimadzu IR Prestige 21 (Japan) infrared Fourier spectrophotometer in the region of wave numbers 4000 – 400 cm–1 in the form of liquid films in KBr, NaCl, or ZnSe windows. Chromatographic study of the composition of fatty acids was carried out on an Agilent 7890B gas chromatograph with a mass-selective detector 5977A. Qualitative and quantitative determination of propionic acid was carried out on the gas chromatographic complex «Chromosome GC – 1000». Chromatographic data processing was performed on the hardware and software complex «ChromatekAnalyst». The dynamics of IR spectra and quantitative composition of fatty acids (chromatographically) of the studied samples before and after ozonation were evaluated. The concentration of reactive oxygen species was controlled by iodometric titration according to the interstate standard GOST ISO 3900 – 2013. The acid number and saponification number of reaction products were determined by chemical methods. It was found that during the processing of fish oil, the reaction with ozone mainly proceeds locally along the ω–3 double bonds, leading to the formation of hydroperoxyesters and hydroperxy acids, as well as propionic acid. It is shown that the number of fragments of ω-6, ω-7 and ω-9 fatty acids practically does not change.

title: Proximity-based screening of a class A/B hybrid G protein-coupled receptor
Creators: name: Hartmann, Steffen
Publisher: name: UNSPECIFIED
Year: 2025

description: Among all human cell surface receptors G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) represent the largest group. The rhodopsin-like GPCRs, or class A GPCRs, represent the majority of all GPCRs and are participating in a variety of different signalling pathways in the human body. Because of their important functions and their role in various diseases class A GPCRs serve as crucial targets for drug development. The high demand for ligands for GPCRs is confronted with the problem of the detection limit for weak ligands. This makes it more difficult to find potentially interesting lead structures for GPCRs. With the biomimetic screening approach by Devigny et al. this problem was addressed for class B GPCRs. In this screening approach, the suggested two-site-/two-step activation mechanism of class B GPCRs was utilized to screen a peptide conjugate library for the corticotropin releasing factor receptor 1 (CRHR₁). Thereby initial weak binders for CRHR₁ could be detected and further optimized. In this work a system of a class A/B hybrid GPCR was designed consisting of the model class A GPCR endothelin receptor B (ET_B) and the N-terminal extracellular domain of the CRHR₁. Peptide probe sequences conjugated to a CRHR₁-extracellular domain binding ligand, termed ‘carrier peptide’, were screened for activation of the hybrid receptors, making use of the proximity effect caused by the carrier peptide. The new approach resulted in a 20-fold activity improvement. This allowed the detection of weak peptide probes that were inactive without conjugation to the CRHR₁-extracellular domain binding ligand. In addition, a structure-activity relationship (SAR) study for the C-terminal part of Endothelin-1 (ET-1) that is crucial for activation of ET_B was performed. Towards this an ET-1 derived peptide library was synthesized, conjugated to the CRHR₁ extracellular domain-binding ligand and tested towards the ability to activate the CRHR₁-ET_B hybrid receptor. Validation of generated hits offered more detailed insights in receptor-ligand interactions necessary for receptor activation. Finally, a series of class A/B hybrid GPCRs was developed and tested for activity with orthosteric agonists. Despite the intensive study of the GPCR protein family in the past, ongoing GPCR drug research persists due to the lack of selective ligands and the need for deorphanization of receptors. Tools that facilitate the screening for class A GPCR ligands, enabling the detection of weak activating fragments as described in this work, are important to address these open questions.

description: Bronchial asthma (BA) can be accompanied by cognitive impairment (CI). However, the relationship between cognitive dysfunction and asthma has not been fully elucidated. Cognitive disorders in patients with asthma largely depend on age, asthma control impairment, the severity of symptoms of the disease, and the duration of its course. The severity of cognitive dysfunction begins to appear already in childhood and increases significantly in adult and elderly patients with asthma. Cognitive impairments can affect adherence to therapy in patients with asthma and negatively affect the achievement of BA control. There is evidence that chronic and acute hypoxia with insufficient control of BA can contribute to the development of cognitive dysfunction. Comorbid conditions also contribute to the enhancement of cognitive dysfunction in patients with asthma. It is known, for example, that asthma is associated with increased levels of depression and anxiety, which may contribute to the development of cognitive dysfunction. Increased body weight may also be a risk factor for cognitive impairment in BA patients. Timely detection of CI and appropriate correction will positively affect the results of therapy. This review examines the features of cognitive dysfunction in patients with BA of different ages, the relationship of CI to the control and duration of the disease, and the impact on the cognitive status of comorbid conditions. This evidence will allow us to streamline our knowledge about the state of cognitive function in patients with asthma for their timely diagnosis, correction, and, ultimately, improvement of BA control.

description: The Open Radio Access Network (Open RAN)-which is being standardized, among others, by the O-RAN Alliance-is bringing a radical transformation to the cellular ecosystem through the notions of disaggregation and RAN Intelligent Controllers (RICs). The latter enable closed-loop control through custom logic applications, namely xApps and rApps, supporting control decisions at different timescales. However, the current O-RAN specifications lack of a practical approach to execute real-time control loops operating at timescales below 10ms. In this paper, we propose the notion of dApps, distributed applications that complement existing xApps/rApps by allowing operators to implement fine-grained data-driven management and control in real-time at the Central Units (CUs)/Distributed Units (DUs). dApps receive real-time data from the RAN, as well as enrichment information from the near-real-time RIC, and execute inference and control of lower-layer functionalities, thus enabling use cases with stricter timing requirements than those considered by the RICs, such as beam management and user scheduling. We propose feasible ways to integrate dApps in the O-RAN architecture by leveraging and extending interfaces and components already present therein. Finally, we discuss challenges specific to dApps, and provide preliminary results that show the benefits of executing network intelligence through dApps.

description: Topological edge states are known to emerge in certain quasicrystals. We investigate a topological quasicrystal in the presence of nonlinearity by generalizing the Toda lattice to include modulated periodic hoppings, where the period is taken irrational to the original lattice. It is found that topological edge states in a quasicrystal survive against nonlinearity based on the quench dynamics. It is also found that an extended-localization transition is induced by the quasicrystal hopping modulation. The present model is experimentally realizable by a transmission line with variable capacitance diodes, where the inductance is modulated.

description: In 1859, Le Verrier discovered the Mercury perihelion advance anomaly. This anomaly turned out to be the first relativistic-gravity effect observed. During the 157 years to 2016, the precisions and accuracies of laboratory and space experiments, and of astrophysical and cosmological observations on relativistic gravity have been improved by 3-4 orders of magnitude. The improvements have been mainly from optical observations at first followed by radio observations. The achievements for the past 50 years are from radio Doppler tracking and radio ranging together with lunar laser ranging. At the present, the radio observations and lunar laser ranging experiments are similar in the accuracy of testing relativistic gravity. We review and summarize the present status of solar-system tests of relativistic gravity. With planetary laser ranging, spacecraft laser ranging and interferometric laser ranging (laser Doppler ranging) together with the development of drag-free technology, the optical observations will improve the accuracies by another 3-4 orders of magnitude in both the equivalence principle tests and solar-system dynamics tests of relativistic gravity. Clock tests and atomic interferometry tests of relativistic gravity will reach an ever-increasing precision. These will give crucial clues in both experimental and theoretical aspects of gravity, and may lead to answers to some profound issues in gravity and cosmology.

description: A study was made of the general condition, changes in the relative mass of internal organs and blood parameters of C57Bl/6 mice 3 months after local irradiation of the chest. Irradiation was carried out in five equal fractions with total doses of 5, 10 and 20 Gy. Single cases of death of irradiated animals were noted in each group 2 months after irradiation. 90 days after irradiation, an increase in the relative mass of the lung was noted in all groups of irradiated animals, as well as a decrease in the relative mass of the spleen and liver. A decrease in the number of platelets in all groups after irradiation was established, as well as a change in erythrocyte indices, which was most pronounced in groups irradiated at doses of 10 and 20 Gy. An increase in the activity of transaminase enzymes in the blood serum of animals depending on the dose of irradiation, an increase in the activity of LDH and phosphatases, as well as a decrease in the level of total protein were noted, which indicates damage to the organs of the thoracic region and liver and persistent metabolic disorders in animals 90 days after local irradiation.

description: A comparative analysis of the effects of serotonin (200 μg/kg), dopamine (60 μg/kg), promethazine (2 mg/kg) and sulpiride (1 mg/kg) administered once intraperitoneally on heart rate variability in male non-linear rats was carried out. Serotonin and dopamine do not change heart rate, but increase the centralization index by 122% (p < 0.05), serotonin due to an increase in the power of LF waves by 136% (p < 0.05), dopamine due to a downward trend power of HF waves by 51% (p < 0.1) compared to the control. Promethazine reduces the power of LF and VLF waves by 64-66% (p < 0.05) and the index of centralization (p < 0.01), while the proportion of HF waves in the spectrum increases to 75%, which is higher than the control (p < 0.01). Sulpiride increases heart rate frequency by 25% (p < 0.01) and the index of centralization (p < 0.001), reduces the power of HF-waves by 70 % (p < 0.001) from the initial state, increases the power of LF-of waves by 336% and VLF-waves by 197% (p < 0.001), so the total proportion of LF and VLF waves increases to 85%, which is higher than the control (p < 0.05). The results suggest that peripheral serotoninergic and dopaminergic mechanisms have opposite effects on heart rate variability.

description: In this work we analyze the spectral level statistics of the one-dimensional ionic Hubbard model, the Hubbard model with an alternating on-site potential. In particular, we focus on the statistics of the gap ratios between consecutive energy levels. This quantity is often used in order to signal whether a many-body system is integrable or chaotic. A chaotic system has typically the statistics of a Gaussian ensemble of random matrices while the spectral properties of the integrable system follow a Poisson statistics. We find that whereas the Hubbard model without alternating potential is known to be integrable and its spectral properties follow a Poissonian statistics, the presence of an alternating potential causes a drastic change in the spectral properties which resemble the one of a Gaussian ensemble of random matrices. However, to uncover this behavior one has to separately consider the blocks of all symmetries of the ionic Hubbard model.
Comparative Analysis of Cardiac Arrhythmias by Automatic Cardioregistration in Patients After Surgical Treatment of Atrial Fibrillation, Correction of Valvular Pathology and Sympathetic Denervation of the Pulmonary Arteries

description: Objectives: to analyze early postoperative arrhythmias in patients after surgical treatment of atrial fibrillation, correction of valvular pathology and sympathetic denervation of the pulmonary arteries in order to correct high pulmonary hypertension. Materials and methods: the study included patients with diagnosed mitral valve disease complicated by atrial fibrillation and high-grade pulmonary hypertension (40 mm Hg or more). All studied patients underwent mitral valve replacement, Maze IV biatrial surgery. In contrast to the patients in the study group, pulmonary artery denervation was not performed in the control group. On the first day after transfer to the ward from the intensive care unit, patients were fitted with a wearable cardiorecorder, which provides continuous ECG recording of one lead with automatically machine analysis with the formation of a pre-medical conclusion. Results: In all studies, a mechanism was implemented for remote ECG transmission of data in the «real time» mode for evaluation by a cardiologist. The study group demonstrated the best recovery and preservation of sinus rhythm in the early postoperative period. 92% of the patient had sinus rhythm, while in the control group this indicator was – 81% (p = 0.05). Radiofrequency denervation of the pulmonary arteries is a safe and effective method for correcting high pulmonary hypertension and helps to maintain sinus rhythm after the concomitant Maze IV procedure (p = 0.05). The use of automatic cardiac screening has demonstrated the feasibility of detecting early arrhythmias in automatic mode with the possibility of timely personalized correction of antiarrhythmic therapy and treatment tactics in general.
title: Flat coordinates of algebraic Frobenius manifolds in small dimensions
Creators: name: Wright, Johan
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2024

description: The orbit space of the reflection representation of a finite irreducible Coxeter groupW gives a polynomial Frobenius manifold. The intersection form g on these Frobenius manifolds is given by the W-invariant inner product on the reflection representation, while the metric η is a Lie derivative of g. Both metrics g and η are flat and flat coordinates of the metric η expressed via the flat coordinates of g are Saito polynomials, which are a distinguished set of basic invariants of the Coxeter group.

Algebraic Frobenius manifolds are typically related to quasi-Coxeter conjugacy classes in finite irreducible Coxeter groups. This class of Frobenius manifolds comes naturally after the polynomial case but it is understood less well. In this thesis we are interested in the relations between the flat coordinates of the flat metrics η and g on the algebraic Frobenius manifolds.

We find explicit relations between flat coordinates of the metric η and flat coordinates of the intersection form g for most known examples of algebraic Frobenius manifolds up to dimension 4. In all the cases, flat coordinates of the metric η appear to be algebraic functions on the orbit space of a Coxeter group.

The dual prepotentials for the polynomial Frobenius manifolds are easy to write down explicitly in terms of root systems of Coxeter groups. We find dual prepotentials for a particular family of two-dimensional algebraic Frobenius manifolds. Special functions are needed to give the answer already in this case.
