description: Observations of ocean sunfish Mola mola in Algerian waters are compiled in this paper. 15 records are mentioned from 2014 to 2021 between observations, bycatch and stranding. 11 specimens were also captured between 2014 and 2018 by "Grine Belkacem" scientific boat (CNRDPA) during pelagic fish resources stocks assessment along Algerian coasts. In total, 8 individuals were taken into photos or videos by divers, 41.67% of specimens were observed in western Algerian waters (Algerian-Moroccan boarder) followed by 33.33% observed in central Algerian waters, whereas less observations were recorded in eastern part of the Algerian waters (Algerian-Tunisian boarder) with only 25% observations. The highest percentage of bycatch was recorded in eastern part of Algerian shoreline (42.86%) followed by western part (35.71%) and central part (21.43%) while four stranding records were exclusively recorded in western waters and measurements made on them are reported in this paper.

description: The methane-nitrogen phase diagram of Prokhvatilov and Yantsevich (1983) indicates that at temperatures relevant to the surfaces of icy dwarf planets like Pluto, two phases contribute to the methane absorptions: nitrogen saturated with methane $\bf{\bar{N_{2}}}$:CH$_{4}$ and methane saturated with nitrogen $\bf{\bar{CH_{4}}}$:N$_{2}$. No optical constants are available so far for the latter component limiting construction of a proper model, in compliance with thermodynamic equilibrium considerations. New optical constants for solid solutions of methane diluted in nitrogen (N$_{2}$:CH$_{4}$) and nitrogen diluted in methane (CH$_{4}$:N$_{2}$) are presented at temperatures between 40 and 90 K, in the wavelength range 1.1-2.7 $μ$m at different mixing ratios. These optical constants are derived from transmission measurements of crystals grown from the liquid phase in closed cells. A systematic study of the changes of methane and nitrogen solid mixtures spectral behavior with mixing ratio and temperature is presented.

description: Recent research in disaster informatics demonstrates a practical and important use case of artificial intelligence to save human lives and suffering during natural disasters based on social media contents (text and images). While notable progress has been made using texts, research on exploiting the images remains relatively under-explored. To advance image-based approaches, we propose MEDIC (Available at: https://crisisnlp.qcri.org/medic/index.html), which is the largest social media image classification dataset for humanitarian response consisting of 71,198 images to address four different tasks in a multi-task learning setup. This is the first dataset of its kind: social media images, disaster response, and multi-task learning research. An important property of this dataset is its high potential to facilitate research on multi-task learning, which recently receives much interest from the machine learning community and has shown remarkable results in terms of memory, inference speed, performance, and generalization capability. Therefore, the proposed dataset is an important resource for advancing image-based disaster management and multi-task machine learning research. We experiment with different deep learning architectures and report promising results, which are above the majority baselines for all tasks. Along with the dataset, we also release all relevant scripts (https://github.com/firojalam/medic).

description: We reconsider the Mott transition in the context of a two-dimensional fermion model with density-density coupling. We exhibit a Hilbert space mapping between the original model and the Double Lattice Chern-Simons theory at the critical point by use of the representation theory of the q-oscillator and Weyl algebras. The transition is further characterized by the ground state modification. The explicit mapping provides a new tool to further probe and test the detailed physical properties of the fermionic lattice model considered here and to enhance our understanding of the Mott transition(s).

description: A grey seal Halichoerus grypus (Fabricius, 1791) has been recorded in the Moroccan Mediterranean in March 6th, 2022. This is the first documented case of the presence of grey seal in the Alboran Sea. It is an adult male of 180-200 cm in length. This individual likely came from the North Atlantic and entered through the Gibraltar Strait. The Al Hoceima National Park is characterized by the presence of a portion of wild rocky coast, little exploited. The habitat requirements of the grey seal and the monk seal are very similar: both species utilize coastal rocky shores and caverns. Thus, the presence of a grey seal in this area indicates that the area may be suitable for the future recolonization of monk seals (Monachus monachus) in the Moroccan Mediterranean that has disappeared in Al Hoceima National Park.

description: Artificial structures in ports and marinas host fouling organisms, specifically alien species which arrive through shipping activities and successfully colonise in new habitats. Bryozoans, a group that are mentioned in limited studies, particularly in the eastern Mediterranean Sea, are the main component in fouling communities. In this study, marinas, fishing ports and pier piles located at western part of the Turkish coast were investigated. A total of 19 bryozoan species were recorded during the investigation, including four alien (Amathia verticillata, Tricellaria inopinata, Celleporaria brunnea and Celleporaria aperta) and three cryptogenic species (Watersipora subtorquata, Bugula neritina and Microporella ciliata). Tricellaria inopinata, Watersipora subtorquata and Celleporaria aperta were found for the first time on Turkish coast for the first time. Although, T. inopinata was reported to be abundant in the western Mediterranean Sea, it was detected at only one station in the Sea of Marmara. According to Soyer's (1970) frequency index values, A. verticillata and C. brunnea were found in the constant category while W. subtorquata and C. aperta were found in common category.

description: Biometric systems are vulnerable to Presentation Attacks (PA) performed using various Presentation Attack Instruments (PAIs). Even though there are numerous Presentation Attack Detection (PAD) techniques based on both deep learning and hand-crafted features, the generalization of PAD for unknown PAI is still a challenging problem. In this work, we empirically prove that the initialization of the PAD model is a crucial factor for the generalization, which is rarely discussed in the community. Based on such observation, we proposed a self-supervised learning-based method, denoted as DF-DM. Specifically, DF-DM is based on a global-local view coupled with De-Folding and De-Mixing to derive the task-specific representation for PAD. During De-Folding, the proposed technique will learn region-specific features to represent samples in a local pattern by explicitly minimizing generative loss. While De-Mixing drives detectors to obtain the instance-specific features with global information for more comprehensive representation by minimizing interpolation-based consistency. Extensive experimental results show that the proposed method can achieve significant improvements in terms of both face and fingerprint PAD in more complicated and hybrid datasets when compared with state-of-the-art methods. When training in CASIA-FASD and Idiap Replay-Attack, the proposed method can achieve an 18.60% Equal Error Rate (EER) in OULU-NPU and MSU-MFSD, exceeding baseline performance by 9.54%. The source code of the proposed technique is available at https://github.com/kongzhecn/dfdm.

description: It is more important than ever to push experimental tests of gravitational theory to the limits of existing technology in both range and sensitivity. This brief review focuses on spin-based tests of General Relativity and their implications for alternative, mostly non-metric theories of gravity motivated by the challenge of unification with the Standard Model of particle physics. The successful detection of geodetic precession and frame-dragging by Gravity Probe B places new constraints on a number of these theories, and increases our confidence in the theoretical mechanisms underpinning current ideas in astrophysics and cosmology.

description: There is emerging evidence that transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can produce analgesic effects in clinical samples and in healthy adults undergoing experimentally induced pain, and the field of minimally invasive brain stimulation for the management of pain is expanding rapidly. While, motor cortex is the most widely used cortical target for TMS in the management of neuropathic pain, few studies have systematically investigated the analgesic effects of a full range of device parameters to provide initial hints about what stimulation intensities and frequencies are most helpful (or even potentially harmful) to patients. Further, there is considerable inconsistency between studies with respect to laboratory pain measurement procedures, TMS treatment parameters, sophistication of the sham methods, and sample-sizes. The present study employed a sham-controlled, within-subject, cross-over design to examine the effects of five different TMS treatment parameters across several quantitative sensory measures in a sample of healthy adult volunteers. 65 participants underwent quantitative sensory testing procedures pre- and post- 40-minutes of real and sham motor cortex TMS. TMS was delivered at 1Hz 80% resting motor threshold (rMT), 1Hz 100%rMT, 10Hz 80%rMT, 10Hz 100%rMT, or 50Hz triplets at 90% of active motor threshold (intermittent theta-burst). The mean painfulness rating of real TMS stimulation itself was 3.0 (SE=.36) out of 10 and was significantly greater than zero (t(64)=8.17, p<.0001). The sham TMS methods used permitted matching between real and sham TMS-induced scalp sensations and participants were successfully blinded to condition (real versus sham). Findings suggest that the effects of motor cortex TMS on quantitative sensory tests in healthy adults vary across different treatment parameters with the smallest observed effect for intermittent theta-burst stimulation (Cohen's d=0.03) and the largest for 10Hz 100%rMT (d=.34). Overall, TMS was associated with statistically significant effects on warm and cool sensory thresholds, cold pain thresholds, suprathreshold stimulus unpleasantness ratings and wind-up pain. With respect to device parameter effects, higher frequency stimulation appears to be associated with the most analgesic and anti-sensitivity effects with the exception of intermittent theta-burst stimulation. The present findings support several clinical research findings suggesting that higher TMS frequencies tend to be associated with the most clinical benefit in patients with chronic pain.

description: During its life, the VITALISE project encapsulates multimodal data collection phases towards the development and evaluation of novel supportive interventions related to rehabilitation, transitional care, and everyday living environments. As the corner stone of these data collection phases are the individuals that will provide the data, special attention is given on gender equality, the compliance of the collection processes with ethical regulations and guidelines on research involving human beings, as well as on the safety of the sensors, tools, and devices involved and the protection of personal and health data. To this end, the present deliverable "D1.3 Final version of ethics and safety manual" constitutes the updated reference guide for the VITALISE investigators by reporting on the international, European and National ethical regulations, device safety standards and certifications, as well as accepted data management procedures and measures towards gender equality. Moreover, this deliverable describes how the VITALISE project data collection and management is compliant with the reported regulations and guidelines and reaffirms that concerns raised were mitigated effectively, through the proper management of ethical and data handling-related issues.

Analytic solution to pseudo-Landau levels in strongly bent graphene nanoribbons

description: Nonuniform elastic strain is known to induce pseudo-Landau levels in Dirac materials. But these pseudo-Landau levels are hardly resolvable in an analytic fashion when the strain is strong, because of the emerging complicated space dependence in both the strain-modulated Fermi velocity and the strain-induced pseudomagnetic field. We analytically characterize the solution to the pseudo-Landau levels in experimentally accessible strongly bent graphene nanoribbons, by treating the effects of the nonuniform Fermi velocity and pseudomagnetic field on equal footing. The analytic solution is detectable through the angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) and allows quantitative comparison between theories and various transport experiments, such as the Shubnikov-de Haas oscillation in the complete absence of magnetic fields and the negative strain-resistivity resulting from the valley anomaly. The analytic solution can be generalized to twisted two-dimensional materials and topological materials and will shed a new light on the related experimental explorations and straintronics applications.

description: Self-propulsion of cellular microswimmers generates flow signatures, commonly classified as pusher- and puller-type, which characterize hydrodynamic interactions with other cells or boundaries. Using experimentally measured beat patterns, we compute that flagellated alga and sperm oscillate between pusher and puller. Beyond a typical distance of 100 um from the swimmer, inertia attenuates oscillatory micro-flows. We show that hydrodynamic interactions between swimmers oscillate in time and are of similar magnitude as stochastic swimming fluctuations.

description: We present explicit formulas for total crossing events in the multi-species asymmetric exclusion process ($r$-ASEP) with underlying $U_q(\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}}_{r+1})$ symmetry. In the case of the two-species TASEP these can be derived using an explicit expression for the general transition probability on $\mathbb{Z}$ in terms of a multiple contour integral derived from a nested Bethe ansatz approach. For the general $r$-ASEP we employ a vertex model approach within which the probability of total crossing can be derived from partial symmetrization of an explicit high rank rainbow partition function. In the case of $r$-TASEP, the total crossing probability can be show to reduce to a multiple integral over the product of $r$ determinants. For $2$-TASEP we additionally derive convenient formulas for cumulative total crossing probabilities using Bernoulli-step initial conditions for particles of type 2 and type 1 respectively.

description: We study a wave equation in one space dimension with a general diffusion coefficient which degenerates on part of the boundary. Degeneracy is measured by a real parameter $μ_a>0$. We establish observability inequalities for weakly (when $μ_a \in [0,1[$) as well as strongly (when $μ_a \in [1,2[$) degenerate equations. We also prove a negative result when the diffusion coefficient degenerates too violently (i.e. when $μ_a>2$) and the blow-up of the observability time when $μ_a$ converges to $2$ from below. Thus, using the HUM method we deduce the exact controllability of the corresponding degenerate control problem when $μ_a \in [0,2[$. We conclude the paper by studying the boundary stabilization of the degenerate linearly damped wave equation and show that a suitable boundary feedback stabilizes the system exponentially. We extend this stability analysis to the degenerate nonlinearly boundary damped wave equation, for an arbitrarily growing nonlinear feedback close to the origin. This analysis proves that the degeneracy does not affect the optimal energy decay rates at large time. We apply the optimal-weight convexity method of \cite{alaamo2005, alajde2010} together with the results of the previous section, to perform this stability analysis.

The mean values of length (TL, FV: 504 ± 57.76 mm; MII: 407 ± 17.3), body weight (BW, FV: 192 ± 74.92; MII: 109 ± 15.56), ocular index (OI, FV: 7.60 ± 2.91, MII: 6.80 ± 1.53) and gonado-somatic index (GSI, FV: 0.68 ± 0.64, MII: 0.06 ± 0.02) of migrating silver eels were significantly higher than those of yellow resident eels. In silver eels, GSI was correlated with TL, BW and age; the pectoral fin index (PFI) showed a positive correlation with OI and a negative correlation with TL; OI showed significant positive correlations with age and negative correlations with the gut index (IGU). The females were ready to begin migrating back to the ocean at an average age of 37.27 ± 11.86 months. Positive allometry (b = 3.19) was recorded between individual weight and length, and the growth parameters for the von Bertalanffy model were: L∞ = 55.93 cm, k = 1.27 year -1, t0 = -0.006 year and W∞ = 378.88 g. The sub-population of eels sampled from the El Mellah Lagoon showed that it is a healthy population ready for migration to the sea.

description: The authors report for the first time the capture of 4 specimens of round fail stingray Taeniurops grabatus (Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, 1817) from the eastern coast of Algeria. They are 2 large and 2 small specimens, suggesting that a viable population is progressively establishing in the area. The occurrence of these specimens is probably due to migrations from other southern areas such as the Tunisian coast where the species is captured in relative abundance. These migrations could be the result of global warming of the Mediterranean waters but also of a competitive pressure between dasyatid species inhabiting the same area. Additionally, these captures constitute the southwestern most extension range of the species in the Mediterranean Sea.
Scores for high scores: Addressing ludonarrative dissonance in video game music through integrated design

description: This thesis examines the inherent conflict between player autonomy and musical structure in video games. Many of the rhythmic and expectation based structures thought to evoke strong emotions in response to music are difficult to achieve given the temporal uncertainties of gameplay, where the player has the autonomy to act at any time. This dichotomy has long been recognized but its implications have not yet been fully articulated or understood, and the lack of an empirically tested solution represents a significant gap in existing knowledge. A range of existing concepts are analysed from a Self-Determination Theory perspective in order to develop a new model of intrinsic and extrinsic motivations for engagement with video games. In analyzing the video game soundtrack through the perspective of this model it is identified that the inability to reconcile player autonomy and musical structure creates a fundamental dissonance between and within the ludic and narrative roles of music in video games. It is argued that much of the current practice within video game development places music in the reactive position of responding to game events, and that a more interactive position involving two-way communication between music and the game system may represent an opportunity to address this seemingly intractable problem. In developing and empirically testing a new integrated design paradigm for reconciling the conflicting nature of player autonomy and musical structures within representational video games, expertise and musicality are identified as critical factors in the analysis of the player experience. A new area of future research, that of isocrony between musical structures and player actions, is identified as a pre-requisite for further understanding these relationships.

description: The widespread usage of social networks during mass convergence events, such as health emergencies and disease outbreaks, provides instant access to citizen-generated data that carry rich information about public opinions, sentiments, urgent needs, and situational reports. Such information can help authorities understand the emergent situation and react accordingly. Moreover, social media plays a vital role in tackling misinformation and disinformation. This work presents TBCOV, a large-scale Twitter dataset comprising more than two billion multilingual tweets related to the COVID-19 pandemic collected worldwide over a continuous period of more than one year. More importantly, several state-of-the-art deep learning models are used to enrich the data with important attributes, including sentiment labels, named-entities (e.g., mentions of persons, organizations, locations), user types, and gender information. Last but not least, a geotagging method is proposed to assign country, state, county, and city information to tweets, enabling a myriad of data analysis tasks to understand real-world issues. Our sentiment and trend analyses reveal interesting insights and confirm TBCOV's broad coverage of important topics.

description: Dopaminergic signaling is implicated in nociceptive pathways. These effects are mediated largely through dopamine receptors and modulated in part by dopamine transporters. This study tests the hypothesis that genetic variants in the genes encoding dopamine receptor 2 (DRD2) and the dopamine active transporter (SLC6A3) influence acute pain severity after motor vehicle collision (MVC).

description: This study aimed at investigating the genetic damage and the accumulations of trace metals in Chelon auratus (Risso, 1810) by COMET Assay to test whether this species should represent a bioindicator species of the Arsuz coast of Iskenderun Bay, North-Eastern Mediterranean. Fish were seasonally collected at a contaminated sampling site and as a reference material in an aquacultural farm over one year. Physicochemical parameters in water and trace metals in the tissues of fish collected from these sites were obtained by electrochemical techniques. A one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was applied for significance assessments. Principal component analysis (PCA) was applied to define the most important parameters involved in DNA damage, and Pearson correlation test was also used to determine the relationship between trace metals and DNA damage. In the present study, Fe, Zn, Cr and Cu concentrations in the water column of sampling site were exceeded the values allowed by the TEG (2015) and EPA (1989) for all seasons. Trace metal concentrations in the liver tissues of C. auratus can be ranged as follows: Fe > Zn > Cu > Mn > Ni > Cr > Co > Pb > Cd > Hg for the sampling site. Fe and Pb accumulations in liver tissues of golden grey mullet exceeded the maximum limits allowed by the TFC (2011) and EU (2005) in Summer and Autumn. The highest levels of DNA damage were detected at the sampling site with 77.67 ± 1.52% DF, 181.67 ± 9.71 AU, and 1.81 ± 0.09% GDI in the gill tissue in the Summer. A significant positive correlation between Fe, Zn, Cu, Hg, Cr and Co accumulations and DNA damage parameters were reported in the present study. Besides, we reported firstly, that the electrochemical technique can be used successfully in the determination of trace metal concentrations in C. auratus. Consequently, obtained ecotoxicological data indicate that C. auratus constitutes a useful tool as a sentinel organism for biomonitoring the coastal ecosystem.

description: The performance of distributing entanglement between two distant nodes in a large-scale quantum network (QN) of partially entangled bipartite pure states is generally benchmarked against the classical entanglement percolation (CEP) scheme. Improvements beyond CEP were only achieved by nonscalable strategies for restricted QN topologies. This paper explores and amplifies a new and more effective mapping of a QN, referred to as concurrence percolation theory (ConPT), that suggests using deterministic rather than probabilistic protocols for scalably improving on CEP across arbitrary QN topologies. More precisely, we implement ConPT via a deterministic entanglement transmission (DET) scheme that is fully analogous to resistor network analysis, with the corresponding series and parallel rules represented by deterministic entanglement swapping and concentration protocols, respectively. The main contribution of this paper is to establish a powerful mathematical framework, which is applicable to arbitrary d-dimensional information carriers (qudits), that provides different natural optimality metrics in terms of generalized k-concurrences (a family of fundamental entanglement measures) for different QN topology. In particular, we conclude that the introduced DET scheme (a) is optimal over the well-known nested repeater protocol for distilling entanglement from partially entangled qubits and (b) leads to higher success probabilities of obtaining a maximally entangled state than using CEP. The implementation of the DET scheme is experimentally feasible as tested on IBM's quantum computation platform.

description: We present a new approach to infer the surface density of magnetic moments $I_s$ in ultrathin ferromagnetic films with perpendicular anisotropy. It relies on quantitative stray field measurements with an atomic-size magnetometer based on the nitrogen-vacancy center in diamond. The method is applied to microstructures patterned in a 1-nm-thick film of CoFeB. We report measurements of $I_s$ with a few percent uncertainty and a spatial resolution in the range of $(100$ nm)$^2$, an improvement by several orders of magnitude over existing methods. As an example of application, we measure the modifications of $I_s$ induced by local irradiation with He$^+$ ions in an ultrathin ferromagnetic wire. This method offers a new route to study variations of magnetic properties at the nanoscale.

description: Fincrawling is a unique, recognizable behaviour pattern exhibited by many flatfishes (order Pleuronectiformes), whereby the fish uses the fin rays of the dorsal and anal fins to walk over the substratum. The distribution of this behaviour among flatfishes indicates it appeared early in the phylogeny of the Pleuronectiformes. Fincrawling is a common character of the Pleuronectoidei, and a possible synapomorphy of the suborder.
