description: The existence of the binary system SDSS J1257+5428 has been described as paradoxical. Here we investigate under which conditions SDSS J1257+5428 could be understood as a descendant of a cataclysmic variable with an evolved donor star, which is a scenario that has never been explored in detail. We used the BSE code for pre-common-envelope (CE) evolution and the MESA code for post-CE evolution to run binary evolution simulations and searched for potential formation pathways for SDSS J1257+5428 that lead to its observed characteristics. For the post-CE evolution, we adopted a boosted version of the CARB model. We find that SDSS J1257+5428 can be explained as a post-cataclysmic-variable system if (i) the progenitor of the extremely low-mass WD was initially a solar-type star that evolved into a subgiant before the onset of mass transfer and underwent hydrogen shell flashes after the mass transfer stopped, (ii) the massive WD was highly or entirely rejuvenated during the cataclysmic variable evolution, and (iii) magnetic braking was strong enough to make the evolution convergent. In this case, the torques due to magnetic braking need to be stronger than those provided by the CARB model by a factor of ${\sim100}$. We conclude that SDSS J1257+5428 can be reasonably well explained as having originated from a cataclysmic variable that hosted an evolved donor star and should no longer be regarded as paradoxical. If our formation channel is correct, our findings provide further support that stronger magnetic braking acts on progenitors of (i) close detached WD binaries, (ii) close detached millisecond pulsar with extremely low-mass WDs, (iii) AM CVn binaries, and (iv) ultra-compact X-ray binaries, in comparison to the magnetic braking strength required to explain binaries hosting main-sequence stars and single main-sequence stars.

description: The concept of palliative care, rooted in the historical use of the term "pallium" as a protective cloak, embodies a profound mission of protection and accompaniment for individuals facing life-threatening illnesses. The World Health Organization's (WHO) 2002 definition of palliative care underscores its role in enhancing the quality of life for patients and their families confronting the challenges associated with life-threatening conditions. This approach centers on the prevention and alleviation of suffering through early identification, impeccable assessment, and the treatment of not only physical pain but also psychological and spiritual distress.

When confronted with the impending reality of death, patients express clear preferences that align with the core principles of palliative care. They seek knowledge about what to anticipate, the sense of preparedness for the journey ahead, control over pain and symptoms, and the preservation of meaningful connections with their loved ones. Ultimately, they strive for a sense of fulfillment, a conclusion of life's mission.

description: Since the discovery of high-temperature superconductivity in cuprates, understanding the unconventional pairing mechanism has remained one of the most significant challenges. The upper critical field ($H_{\rm{c2}}$) is an essential parameter for obtaining information on the pair-breaking mechanism, coherence length $ξ$, and pairing symmetry, all of which are crucial for understanding unconventional superconducting mechanisms. Here, we provide a brief review of studies on $ H_{\rm{c2}} $ in several representative series of cuprate, iron-based, and nickelate superconductors. By comparing the behavior of $ H_{\rm{c2}} $ as a function of temperature, doping concentration, and anisotropy across these three major classes of superconductors, we hope to contribute to a better understanding of the complex pairing interactions in high-temperature superconductors.

description: Based on the work of Klapp, Marshburn, and Lester (1983) and more generally on principles of the Multiple Resource Theory, it was proposed that human short-term memory consists of two mental resource channels, one that is tapped by span memory tasks and one tapped by immediate working memory tasks. It was further hypothesized that dual-task performance would be better under conditions where one of the component tasks tapped the proposed span memory channel and one tapped the proposed working memory channel, than when both tasks tapped the same channel. In addition, it was hypothesized that dual-tasks tapping the same memory resource channel would reduce subjects' ability to adopt efficient attention management strategies, whereas tasks tapping separate channels would result in more efficient strategy selection. Mixed support was found for the proposed resource channel distinction, while considerable support was found for the proposed relationship between the channels tapped by dual-tasks and the selection of performance strategies.

description: Biologics are increasingly essential in managing inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) worldwide, as they can modify disease progression and improve patients’ quality of life. This study aimed to analyze the global prevalence of and geographic variations in the use of biological drugs for IBD. Articles published up to 21 July 2024, were identified from the PubMed/MEDLINE, Web of Science, Scopus, Embase, IBECS, WPRIM, BRISA/RedETSA and LILACS databases. Population-based studies (cohort, case–control and cross-sectional) and studies using administrative databases with data on the prevalence of biological medicine use in patients with IBD were included. Two reviewers independently screened the studies, extracted data, and assessed methodological quality. Estimates were pooled using a random-effects meta-analysis, whereas heterogeneity was evaluated using Cochran’s Q test and I2. Of the 8239 titles, 68 (n = 3,482,385 patients) were included. An increase in the number of studies on the subject has been reported since 2017, and these studies have been mostly concentrated in high-income countries. A 15.06% (95% CI 11.84–18.28%) prevalence of biologic use in IBD worldwide was reported, predominantly concentrated in the use of anti-TNF agents 15.01% (95% CI 10.35–19.67%). Furthermore, patients with Crohn’s disease (CD) had a greater prevalence of biologic use (21.41%; 95% CI 16.31–26.50%) than ulcerative colitis (UC) patients (9.70%; 95% CI 6.20–13.18%). Further studies using population-based and administrative data and stratifying their analyses by disease type are required to confirm our findings. Future studies should be conducted in Latin America, Asia and Africa.

description: It is known that the alignment of an high-energy e- beam with specific crystal directions leads to a significant increase of the coherent radiation emission. This enhancement can be exploited to create an intense photon source. An elective application is an innovative positron source design for future lepton colliders. Such scheme takes advantage of lattice coherent effects by employing a high-Z crystalline radiator, followed by an amorphous metallic converter, to generate positrons via a two-step electromagnetic process. Additional applications can be in neutron production through photo-transmutation and radionuclide generation via photo-nuclear reactions. In this work, we present experimental results obtained from beam tests at CERN's PS facility using commercial industrial-grade tungsten crystals. The obtained results demonstrate the robust performance of industrial-grade radiators, even with their inherent imperfections, suggesting that it is possible to simplify the supply process and it is not strictly necessary to rely on highly specialized research infrastructures.

description: Probability surveys are a major source of population representative data for policy research and program evaluation. However, the data come with the added complications of being observational and selected with unequal probabilities. Propensity score adjustments have become increasingly popular for inferring causal relationships in non-randomized studies, but when using survey data, estimates of the population level causal effect may be biased if the sampling design is not adequately adjusted for. The current practice of using propensity score estimators with complex surveys is somewhat ad-hoc. We propose a potential-outcome super-population framework to streamline the causal analysis. We also develop propensity-score-and-survey weighted estimators and corresponding variance estimators, as well as their asymptotic properties. Our framework clarifies the confusion regarding the use of survey weighted propensity score in practice. The choice actually depends on the available sampling weights. Various estimators are compared in a simulation study, which shows that the proposed estimators perform better than the competing methods in terms of bias and confidence interval coverage when treatment effects are heterogeneous. To address an important public health issue, we evaluate the impact of e-cigarette use on future tobacco use intention in teens, using a large nationally representative survey in the United States.

title: Impact of Primary User Activity on the Performance of Energy-Based Spectrum Sensing in Cognitive Radio Systems

publisherIdentifier: https://ror.org/04zjtrb98

description: Increasing numbers of wireless devices and mobile data requirements have led to a spectrum shortage. However spectrum utilization percentages are often low due to the current static spectrum allocation process where primary users (PUs) are given exclusive use to spectrum. Several mechanisms to increase spectrum utilization have been proposed including opportunistic spectrum access (OSA). Cognitive Radio (CR) is an emerging concept in wireless communication systems that aims to enable OSA in licensed frequencies by secondary users (SUs). CR systems are expected to sense the spectrum in order to determine if the PU is transmitting. Therefore OSA performance relies on the ability of the SU to accurately sense the spectrum and detect the PU activity. Numerous approaches have been studied for spectrum sensing; one of the most common is energy-based detection due to the SU needing no prior knowledge of the PU waveform. While energy detection has been widely studied, the assumption has been made that the PU status, either ON or OFF, does not change while the SU is actively sensing the spectrum. The work presented in this thesis examines specifically the impact to performance of energy detectors when the PU status changes during the spectrum sensing period. Two alternative analytic expressions for the probabilities of detection and false alarm are derived and corroborated with numerical results obtained from simulations. While the work presented in this thesis is discussed in terms of SU spectrum sensing performance, the analytic expressions apply to all applications in which energy detection is used.

description: In this paper, various skewing configurations for a permanent magnet synchronous machine are evaluated by comparing torque ripple amplitudes and tooth forces. Since high-frequency pure tones emitted by an electrical machine significantly impact a vehicle's noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) behavior, it is crucial to analyze radial forces. These forces are examined and compared across different skewing configurations and angles using the Maxwell stress tensor in 2D and 3D finite-element (FE) simulations. In addition to conventional investigations in 2D FE simulations, 3D FE simulations are executed. These 3D FE simulations show that axial forces occur at the transition points between the magnetic segments of a linear step skewed rotor.

description: For grouped covariates, we propose a framework for boosting that allows for sparsity within and between groups. By using component-wise and group-wise gradient ridge boosting simultaneously with adjusted degrees of freedom or penalty parameters, a model with similar properties as the sparse-group lasso can be fitted through boosting. We show that within-group and between-group sparsity can be controlled by a mixing parameter, and discuss similarities and differences to the mixing parameter in the sparse-group lasso. Furthermore, we show under which conditions variable selection on a group or individual variable basis happens and provide selection bounds for the regularization parameters depending solely on the singular values of the design matrix in a boosting iteration of linear Ridge penalized boosting. In special cases, we characterize the selection chance of an individual variable versus a group of variables through a generalized beta prime distribution. With simulations as well as two real datasets from ecological and organizational research data, we show the effectiveness and predictive competitiveness of this novel estimator. The results suggest that in the presence of grouped variables, sparse-group boosting is associated with less biased variable selection and higher predictability compared to component-wise or group-component-wise boosting.

title: Targeting Glycogen Phosphorylase as a Potential Therapeutic Strategy for Glioblastoma
Creators: name: Schram, Niah
Publisher: name: University of Central Lancashire
Year: 2025

description: Glioblastoma (GB) is one of the most aggressive malignancies of the brain and spinal cord. The current standard of care has remained surgical resection of the tumour, followed by radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy. Crucial challenges in the effective treatment of GB include resistance to the main chemotherapeutic, temozolomide. Prognosis is poor with median survival remaining at 14.6 months. A now established hallmark of cancer is the ability of malignant cells to “modify, or reprogram, cellular metabolism”, such as glycogenolysis upregulation. This hallmark could suggest the potential of targeting a specific metabolic component within glycolysis, thus reducing energy production, resulting in possible apoptosis or suppressed proliferation. Studies suggest that glycogen phosphorylase (GP), an enzyme in glycogenolysis, could be inhibited for a therapeutic effect in GB. In this project, GP levels across the three different isoforms (PYGB, PYGL, and PYGM) and the effect of the GP inhibitor CP-91149 was investigated across three different GB cell lines. Cell viability of T98G, U251, and U87 glioblastoma cell lines and SVGp12 human foetal glial cell line was measured after administration of CP-91149 for 24, 48, and 72 hours. Migration of T98G and U251 cells following treatment with CP-91149 was measured in a wound healing assay. Visualisation of the three GP isoforms was achieved through western blotting and confirmed by immunocytochemistry. Flow cytometry was utilised to expand analysis on GP inhibition by assessing the cell cycle before and after treatments. Results showed that CP-91149 had a significant dose- and time-dependent effect in vitro on all GB cell lines. Inhibition of GP caused a reduction in cell viability and cell migration. Western blot and immunocytochemistry analysis showed that PYGL is the most predominant isoform of GP. There was no clear effect on the cell cycle following treatment with CP-91149. Inhibition of glycogenolysis by targeting GP shows potential as a novel therapeutic approach in the treatment of glioblastoma.

description: The Network Scale-up Methods (NSUM) are methods to estimate unknown populations based on indirect surveys in which the participants provide information about aggregated data of their acquaintances. This preserves the privacy and may lead to higher participation. During the last thirty years, new NSUM estimators have emerged. However, conditions related to the design of the experiments and the robustness of the estimators have not been studied in depth, especially in a realistic simulation environment. This study aims to compare nine NSUM estimators under relevant conditions in the literature through simulation experiments. We have analyzed how the NSUM is affected by the network topology, transmission and recall errors, the distribution of the unknown subpopulation, the number and sizes of subpopulations, and sample size. This article shows that some NSUM estimators barely used are better and more robust to some conditions, especially when the network is scale-free or under barrier effects. In addition, some methods are very sensitive to recall errors. In terms of the subpopulations configuration, we observe that the number of known subpopulations usually employed is quite large and that the most common NSUM is robust to the number and sizes of the subpopulations.

title: A Psychological Investigation of the Link Between Autism Spectrum Disorder and Gender Dysphoria/Incongruence
Creators: name: Kallitsounaki, Aimilia
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2022

description: The clinical recognition of the high co-occurrence of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and gender dysphoria/incongruence has received increased attention in recent years from researchers, as well as the lay press. Yet, many aspects of this phenomenon remain obscure. The overarching aim of this thesis was to develop an enhanced understanding of this intersection by answering three main questions. (1) Is there a link between ASD and gender dysphoria/incongruence? (2) What is the role of mentalising in the high co-occurrence of ASD and gender dysphoria/incongruence? (3) How does ASD affect gender-related cognition? To begin address these questions, we conducted a systematic literature review, two meta-analyses, two studies in the general population (original study; N = 101, followed by a replication study; N = 126), and a case-control study in neurotypical and autistic cisgender and transgender adults (N = 347). The findings in this thesis indicate the existence of a link between ASD and gender dysphoria/incongruence that is real and not a methodological artefact. Results of our studies also suggest that mentalising is not the shared underlying mechanism that underpins this link. Yet, our findings indicate that a mentalising difficulty might trigger subclinical gender dysphoric feelings in autistic cisgender people. Lastly, this thesis provides evidence that ASD hinders the explicit (and implicit at least among birth-assigned females) identification of autistic cisgender people with their experienced/reported gender. Autistic transgender people's explicit and implicit identification with their experienced/reported gender seems to be unaffected by ASD. The theoretical and clinical implications of these findings, as well as directions for future research are discussed.

description: Understanding the convergence landscape of multi-agent learning is a fundamental problem of great practical relevance in many applications of artificial intelligence and machine learning. While it is known that learning dynamics converge to Nash equilibrium in potential games, the behavior of dynamics in many important classes of games that do not admit a potential is poorly understood. To measure how ''close'' a game is to being potential, we consider a distance function, that we call ''potentialness'', and which relies on a strategic decomposition of games introduced by Candogan et al. (2011). We introduce a numerical framework enabling the computation of this metric, which we use to calculate the degree of ''potentialness'' in generic matrix games, as well as (non-generic) games that are important in economic applications, namely auctions and contests. Understanding learning in the latter games has become increasingly important due to the wide-spread automation of bidding and pricing with no-regret learning algorithms. We empirically show that potentialness decreases and concentrates with an increasing number of agents or actions; in addition, potentialness turns out to be a good predictor for the existence of pure Nash equilibria and the convergence of no-regret learning algorithms in matrix games. In particular, we observe that potentialness is very low for complete-information models of the all-pay auction where no pure Nash equilibrium exists, and much higher for Tullock contests, first-, and second-price auctions, explaining the success of learning in the latter. In the incomplete-information version of the all-pay auction, a pure Bayes-Nash equilibrium exists and it can be learned with gradient-based algorithms. Potentialness nicely characterizes these differences to the complete-information version.

description: Empirical evidence has demonstrated that learning-based image compression can outperform classical compression frameworks. This has led to the ongoing standardization of learned-based image codecs, namely Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) AI. The objective of JPEG AI is to enhance compression efficiency and provide a software and hardwarefriendly solution. Based on our research, JPEG AI represents the first standardization that can facilitate the implementation of a learned image codec on a mobile device. This article presents an overview of the variable rate coding functionality in JPEG AI, which includes three variable rate adaptations: a threedimensional quality map, a fast bit rate matching algorithm, and a training strategy. The variable rate adaptations offer a continuous rate function up to 2.0 bpp, exhibiting a high level of performance, a flexible bit allocation between different color components, and a region of interest function for the specified use case. The evaluation of performance encompasses both objective and subjective results. With regard to the objective bit rate matching, the main profile with low complexity yielded a 13.1% BD-rate gain over VVC intra, while the high profile with high complexity achieved a 19.2% BD-rate gain over VVC intra. The BD-rate result is calculated as the mean of the seven perceptual metrics defined in the JPEG AI common test conditions. With respect to subjective results, the example of improving the quality of the region of interest is illustrated.

description: Accurate model performance assessment in survival analysis is imperative for robust predictions and informed decision-making. Traditional residual diagnostic tools like martingale and deviance residuals lack a well-characterized reference distribution for censored regression, making numerical statistical tests based on these residuals challenging. Recently, the introduction of Z-residuals for diagnosing survival models addresses this limitation. However, concerns arise from conventional methods that use the entire dataset for both model parameter estimation and residual assessment, which may cause optimistic biases. This article introduces cross-validatory Z-residuals as an innovative approach to address these limitations. Employing a cross-validation (CV) framework, the method systematically partitions the dataset into training and testing sets to reduce the optimistic bias. Our simulation studies demonstrate that, for goodness-of-fit tests and outlier detection, cross-validatory Z-residuals are significantly more powerful (e.g., power increased from 0.2 to 0.6). and more discriminative (e.g., AUC increased from 0.58 to 0.85) than Z-residuals without CV. We also compare the performance of Z-residuals with and without CV in identifying outliers in a real application that models the recurrence time of kidney infection patients. Our findings suggest that cross-validatory Z-residuals can identify outliers, which Z-residuals without CV fail to identify. The CV Z-residual is a more powerful tool than the No-CV Z-residual for checking survival models, particularly in goodness-of-fit tests and outlier detection. We have published a generic function, which is collected in an R package called Zresidual, for computing CV Z-residual for the output of the widely used survival R package.
title: Novel Building Blocks for Molecular Imprinting: Pyridine-Based Binding Monomers and Bio-Renewable Cross-Linkers
Creators: name: Lettieri, Stefania

description: Molecular imprinting refers to the creation of synthetic materials with built-in memory for a selected target (atom, ion, molecule, complex or a molecular, ionic or macromolecular assembly, including micro-organisms) used as a template to direct the synthesis of the material, a Molecularly Imprinted Polymer (MIP). Here we would like to report on the development of Molecularly Imprinted Polymers (MIPs) for the recognition of molecules of biological/pharmaceutical interest such as biotin and barbiturates using a series of pyridine-based binding monomers which contain hydrogen bonding arrays complementary to their particular targets. MIPs are already widely used for the creation of artificial receptors that will be less expensive, more stable and far more easily reusable compared to their natural counterparts. However there remains plenty of room for improvement in the affinity and selectivity exhibited by MIPs. The common use of commercially available monomers, such as methacrylic acid, is a limitation in the imprinting process. The design of new functional monomers for stoichiometric non-covalent molecular imprinting can enhance the selectivity and specificity of the MIP towards a specific target by decreasing the level of non-specific binding in the polymer, which is generally caused by the use of an excess of functional monomer in the prepolymerisation mixture. Bio-renewable cross-linkers were also synthesised from isomannide, isosorbide and 2,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)furan as a greener and bio-sustainable alternative to ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) in the Molecular Imprinting technology. Herein we will report on the preparation of novel MIPs selective towards uridine prepared using BAAPy as the functional monomer, 2′,3′,5′-tri-O-acetyluridine (TAU) as the dummy template and three acrylate- and methacrylate-based biosustainable crosslinking monomers prepared by esterification of isosorbide (1,4:3,6 dianhydrosorbitol), isomannide (1,4:3,6-dianhydromannitol) and 2,5- bis(hydroxymethyl)furan. The selectivity, specificity and capacity of the reported polymers towards their imprinted templates and similar analytes were evaluated through chromatography and rebinding studies.

description: Quantification of quantum entanglement plays a crucial role in the study of quantum information tasks. We present analytical lower bounds for both concurrence and 2-concurrence based on the correlation matrices of bipartite quantum states. Compared with other related lower bounds, our approach provides a better estimation of the entanglement, particularly for states with large purity.
