description: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, demyelinating disorder of the central nervous system that is widely accepted to result from a complex interplay of genetic and environmental factors. The involvement of clusterin in neurodegenerative and autoimmune diseases has been highlighted, but its role in MS remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the association of four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the clusterin gene (CLU) with MS susceptibility. The study group consisted of 310 patients with RRMS (pwRRMS) and 310 controls. 25 treatment-naïve pwRRMS, 25 pwRRMS on fingolimod treatment and 25 controls composed a subgroup for further analysis. The genotypes of 4 CLU SNPs were determined using either restriction endonuclease digestion following PCR (rs11136000 & rs3087554) or the real-time PCR method using TaqMan genotyping assays (rs2279590 & rs1532278). Plasma clusterin concentration was determined by ELISA in the subgroup (n = 75). Our results revealed that CLU rs3087554 C allele (p = .008) and TC  +  CC genotype were significantly associated with RRMS (p = .002). Furthermore, haplotype analysis has also shown that T-C-T-T haplotype was associated with RRMS (p < .001). Moreover, plasma clusterin concentrations were significantly higher in pwRRMS on fingolimod therapy compared to treatment-naïve pwRRMS and the control group. In addition, plasma clusterin concentration was increased in patients with rs11136000 & rs1532278 CC genotypes in the subgroup. These findings suggest that CLU SNPs and plasma clusterin concentrations could serve as significant biomarkers at different stages of MS.

description: Mobile health applications show promise for scalable physical activity promotion but are often insufficiently personalized. In contrast, health coaching offers highly personalized support but can be prohibitively expensive and inaccessible. This study draws inspiration from health coaching to explore how large language models (LLMs) might address personalization challenges in mobile health. We conduct formative interviews with 12 health professionals and 10 potential coaching recipients to develop design principles for an LLM-based health coach. We then built GPTCoach, a chatbot that implements the onboarding conversation from an evidence-based coaching program, uses conversational strategies from motivational interviewing, and incorporates wearable data to create personalized physical activity plans. In a lab study with 16 participants using three months of historical data, we find promising evidence that GPTCoach gathers rich qualitative information to offer personalized support, with users feeling comfortable sharing concerns. We conclude with implications for future research on LLM-based physical activity support.

description: Waveguide-integrated mid-infrared (MIR) photodetectors are pivotal components for the development of molecular spectroscopy applications, leveraging mature photonic integrated circuit (PIC) technologies. Despite various strategies, critical challenges still remain in achieving broadband photoresponse, cooling-free operation, and large-scale complementary-metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS)-compatible manufacturability. To leap beyond these limitations, the bolometric effect - a thermal detection mechanism - is introduced into the waveguide platform. More importantly, we pursue a free-carrier absorption (FCA) process in germanium (Ge) to create an efficient light-absorbing medium, providing a pragmatic solution for full coverage of the MIR spectrum without incorporating exotic materials into CMOS. Here, we present an uncooled waveguide-integrated photodetector based on a Ge-on-insulator (Ge-OI) PIC architecture, which exploits the bolometric effect combined with FCA. Notably, our device exhibits a broadband responsivity of 28.35 %/mW across 4030-4360 nm (and potentially beyond), challenging the state of the art, while achieving a noise-equivalent power of $4.03$x$10^{-7} W/Hz^{0.5}$ at 4180 nm. We further demonstrate label-free sensing of gaseous carbon dioxide (CO2) using our integrated photodetector and sensing waveguide on a single chip. This approach to room-temperature waveguide-integrated MIR photodetection, harnessing bolometry with FCA in Ge, not only facilitates the realization of fully integrated lab-on-a-chip systems with wavelength flexibility but also provides a blueprint for MIR PICs with CMOS-foundry-compatibility.

description: Despite the remarkable progress in wastewater treatment strategies over the past decades, the degradation of micro-pollutants still remains a challenging domain to explore, and often, the treated effluent is disposed of without taking care of the same. In this study, a conical plug-and-play reactor (CPPR) was designed to be retrofitted into the existing tertiary treatment point for treating real-life pharmaceutical effluents. Two pharmaceutical effluents (sample I/II) from different treatment plants were treated in CPPR by optimizing the operational parameters and conjugating with other oxidizing agents. The standalone CPPR resulted in the highest COD reduction of 34% and 37% for samples I and II at the optimized values of 2400 rpm, 150 passes, and pH 2.0. The CPPR conjugated with advanced oxidation processes showed an optimal COD reduction of 84%, 81%, and 90% for sample I and 87%, 84%, and 92% for sample II at 0.3 g/L of H2O2, 1:3 Fe2+:H2O2 ratio, and 3 g/h of O3 loading, respectively. From an energetic and economic point of view, the performance of HC+O3 surpassed that of other oxidizing agents. Further, the techno-economic feasibility was demonstrated with a break-even analysis for financial estimations of potential pilot-scale incorporation of this technology.
Multirobot Watchman Routes in a Simple Polygon

description: The well-known \textsc{Watchman Route} problem seeks a shortest route in a polygonal domain from which every point of the domain can be seen. In this paper, we study the cooperative variant of the problem, namely the \textsc{$k$-Watchmen Routes} problem, in a simple polygon $P$. We look at both the version in which the $k$ watchmen must collectively see all of $P$, and the quota version in which they must see a predetermined fraction of $P$'s area.
 We give an exact pseudopolynomial time algorithm for the \textsc{$k$-Watchmen Routes} problem in a simple orthogonal polygon $P$ with the constraint that watchmen must move on axis-parallel segments, and there is a given common starting point on the boundary. Further, we give a fully polynomial-time approximation scheme and a constant-factor approximation for unconstrained movement. For the quota version, we give a constant-factor approximation in a simple polygon, utilizing the solution to the (single) \textsc{Quota Watchman Route} problem.

description: This paper presents a novel approach to quantum architecture search by integrating the techniques of ZX-calculus with Genetic Programming (GP) to optimize the structure of parameterized quantum circuits employed in Quantum Machine Learning (QML). Recognizing the challenges in designing efficient quantum circuits for QML, we propose a GP framework that utilizes mutations defined via ZX-calculus, a graphical language that can simplify visualizing and working with quantum circuits. Our methodology focuses on evolving quantum circuits with the aim of enhancing their capability to approximate functions relevant in various machine learning tasks. We introduce several mutation operators inspired by the transformation rules of ZX-calculus and investigate their impact on the learning efficiency and accuracy of quantum circuits. The empirical analysis involves a comparative study where these mutations are applied to a diverse set of quantum regression problems, measuring performance metrics such as the percentage of valid circuits after the mutation, improvement of the objective, as well as circuit depth and width. Our results indicate that certain ZX-calculus-based mutations perform significantly better than others for Quantum Architecture Search (QAS) in all metrics considered. They suggest that ZX-diagram based QAS results in shallower circuits and more uniformly allocated gates than crude genetic optimization based on the circuit model.

description: Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) requires thrombolytic therapy to restore blood flow. This meta-analysis assesses the efficacy and safety of 35 mg intravenous recombinant human prourokinase (rhPro-UK). A systematic search was conducted in PubMed and Embase up to 27 January 2025, identifying randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing rhPro-UK with standard therapy. Primary outcomes included changes in the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), Barthel Index, and Modified Rankin Scale (mRS). Secondary outcomes comprised early neurological improvement, intracranial hemorrhage, symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (SIH), serious adverse events (SAEs), and mortality. A random-effects model was applied for meta-analysis with 95% confidence intervals. Six RCTs were included. RhPro-UK significantly reduced NIHSS scores at 24 hours (MD = -0.43 [−0.85 to −0.02], p = 0.041) and 7 days (MD = -0.85 [−1.39 to −0.31], p = 0.002). No significant differences were found in mRS scores (0–1: OR = 1.045 [0.893–1.223], p = 0.586; 0–2: OR = 0.965 [0.805–1.158], p = 0.705) or Barthel Index (OR = 1.003 [0.732–1.374], p = 0.986). The rate of SIH was similar between groups (RD = 0.001 [−0.004 to 0.006], p = 0.673). No significant differences were observed in intracranial hemorrhage (OR = 0.819 [0.598–1.140], p = 0.236), SAEs (OR = 0.907 [0.713–1.153], p = 0.426), or mortality (OR = 1.168 [0.790–1.726], p = 0.437). RhPro-UK improves short-term neurological outcomes without increasing hemorrhagic risk, SAEs, or mortality.

description: Patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) were excluded from the trials evaluating carotid artery stent placement (CAS) or carotid endarterectomy (CEA). We identified the prevalence of atrial fibrillation and how it might be associated with outcomes in patients with symptomatic internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis. We analyzed the data from the National Inpatient Sample between 2016 and 2021 with stenosis of ICA who underwent CAS or CEA. We compared the end points of intra- and post-procedural cerebral infarction, hemorrhage, discharge home and death based on the presence or absence of AF. We also compared the outcomes in AF patients who had CAS with those who had CEA. Atrial fibrillation was present in 3,785 (18.3%) of 20,645 patients who underwent either CAS or CEA between 2016 and 2021, while 16,860 did not have atrial fibrillation. The proportion of patients who developed acute myocardial infarction, respiratory failure, acute kidney injury, or required blood transfusion was higher in patients with atrial fibrillation among both CAS- and CEA-treated patients. There was no difference in odds of post-procedural stroke and/or death in patients with atrial fibrillation (compared with those without atrial fibrillation) who were treated with CAS (odds ratio [OR] 0.99, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.62–1.60, p = 0.98) and those treated with CEA (OR 1.09, 95% CI 0.69–1.73, p = 0.72 in the multivariate analysis after adjusting for potential confounders. The length of stay and hospitalization cost were significantly higher in patients with atrial fibrillation. There was no difference in post-procedural stroke and/or death (10.7% versus 8.7%, p = 0.41) and discharge home (32.4% versus 26.8%, p = 0.13) in patients with atrial fibrillation who underwent CEA compared to those who underwent CAS in propensity-matched analysis. One in five patients with symptomatic ICA stenosis who undergo CAS or CEA have AF. We did not identify higher risk of post-procedural stroke and/or death irrespective of the procedure, but resource utilization was higher in AF patients.

description: Certifying entanglement is an important step in the development of many quantum technologies, especially for higher-dimensional systems, where entanglement promises increased capabilities for quantum communication and computation. A key feature distinguishing entanglement from classical correlations is the occurrence of correlations for complementary measurement bases. In particular, mutually unbiased bases (MUBs) are a paradigmatic example that is well-understood and routinely employed for entanglement certification. However, implementing unbiased measurements exactly is challenging and not generically possible for all physical platforms. Here, we extend the entanglement-certification toolbox from correlations in MUBs to arbitrary bases. This practically significant simplification paves the way for efficient characterizations of high-dimensional entanglement in a wide range of physical systems. Furthermore, we introduce a simple three-MUBs construction for all dimensions without using the Wootters-Fields construction, potentially simplifying experimental requirements when measurements in more than two MUBs are needed, especially in high-dimensional settings.

description: We investigate suitable, physically motivated conditions on spacetimes containing certain submanifolds - the so-called {weakly trapped submanifolds} - that ensure, in a set of neighboring metrics with respect to a convenient topology, that the phenomenon of nonspacelike geodesic incompleteness (i.e., the existence of singularities) is generic in a precise technical sense. We obtain two sets of results. First, we use strong Whitney topologies on spaces of Lorentzian metrics on a manifold $M$, in the spirit of Lerner and obtain that while the set of singular Lorentzian metrics around a fiducial one possessing a weakly trapped submanifold $Σ$ is not really generic, it is nevertheless prevalent in a sense we define, and thus still quite ``large'' in this sense. We prove versions of that result both for the case when $Σ$ has codimension 2, and for the case of higher codimension.
 The second set of results explore a similar question, but now for initial data sets containing MOTS. For this case, we use certain well-known infinite dimensional, Hilbert manifold structures on the space of initial data and use abstract functional-analytic methods based on the work of Biliotti, Javaloyes, and Piccione to obtain a true genericity of null geodesic incompleteness around suitable initial data sets containing MOTS.

description: Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) enables multiple users to share the same frequency band, and simultaneously transmitting and reflecting reconfigurable intelligent surface (STAR-RIS) provides 360-degree full-space coverage, optimizing both transmission and reflection for improved network performance and dynamic control of the indoor environment. However, deploying STAR-RIS indoors presents challenges in interference mitigation, power consumption, and real-time configuration. In this work, a novel network architecture utilizing multiple access points (APs), STAR-RISs, and NOMA is proposed for indoor communication. To address these, we formulate an optimization problem involving user assignment, access point (AP) beamforming, and STAR-RIS phase control. A decomposition approach is used to solve the complex problem efficiently, employing a many-to-one matching algorithm for user-AP assignment and K-means clustering for resource management. Additionally, multi-agent deep reinforcement learning (MADRL) is leveraged to optimize the control of the STAR-RIS. Within the proposed MADRL framework, a novel approach is introduced in which each decision variable acts as an independent agent, enabling collaborative learning and decision making. The MADRL framework is enhanced by incorporating convex approximation (CA), which accelerates policy learning through suboptimal solutions from successive convex approximation (SCA), leading to faster adaptation and convergence. Simulations demonstrate significant improvements in network utility compared to baseline approaches.

description: This work presents a novel partially overlapping near-user non-orthogonal multiple access (P-NU-NOMA) scheme for a visible light communication (VLC) system, namely, the P-NU-NOMA VLC system. Specifically, the near user partially overlaps with the far user over a fraction of bandwidth. Under imperfect channel state information (CSI) and successive interference cancellation (SIC), the achievable rate analysis of P-NU-NOMA over a downlink line-of-sight (LOS) VLC channel is reported. The P-NU-NOMA VLC system eliminates rate differences between users and provides nearly equal data rates for the near and far users at an optimum value of the overlapping ratio. The effect of SIC imperfection on the sum-rate performance of P-NU-NOMA VLC and NOMA-VLC system is presented for various values of residue factor. For the imperfect SIC scenario, the sum-rate performance of the P-NU-NOMA VLC system significantly surpasses the NOMA-VLC system by achieving almost double sum-rate for a higher value of residue factor, i.e. 0.3. A more practical case of imperfect CSI is also considered in this analysis. The sum-rate performance of P-NU-NOMA VLC and NOMA-VLC systems are studied for different values of estimation error variance. For the parameter of interest, the achievable rates of the P-NU-NOMA VLC system are plotted alongside those of NOMA VLC and OMA VLC systems.

description: The presence of loss mechanisms governed by empirical time-scales affect the dynamics and spectra of systems in profound ways. However, incorporation of these effects and their interaction with the thermal dissipative environments interacting with the system prove to be challenging. We have recently developed the path integral Lindblad dynamics (PILD) method to combine numerically rigorous path integral simulations with Lindblad dynamics to account for such empirical loss mechanisms. In this work, we utilize the PILD method to study the absorption and circular dichroism spectra of chiral molecular aggregates and excitonic polaritons. We demonstrate that the effect of loss on particular states in both systems can differ not just on the basis of the symmetries of the state but also on the basis of complicated "interactions" of the system and the loss mechanism with the dissipative environments. We present probably the first numerical exploration of the CD spectrum of chiral molecular aggregates confined in a cavity. While the CD spectrum of just the excitonic aggregates itself is not amenable to simplistic understanding like the exciton chirality (EC) rule, the CD spectrum of polaritonic molecules is even more complex. Additionally, the impact of empirical loss on the polaritonic CD spectrum seems to be highly site-dependent. The impact of a lossy cavity is qualitatively different from the impact of a molecule that leaks the excitation. We explore some of those effects in depth leveraging the framework of path integral Lindblad dynamics.

description: The quantum Cramér-Rao bound for the joint estimation of the centroid and the separation between two incoherent point sources cannot be saturated. As such, the optimal measurements for extracting maximal information about both at the same time are not known. In this work, we ascertain these optimal measurements for an arbitrary point spread function, in the most relevant regime of a small separation between the sources. Our measurement can be adjusted within a set of tradeoffs, allowing more information to be extracted from the separation or the centroid while ensuring that the total information is the maximum possible.

description: The well-known Navier--Stokes--Fourier equations of fluid dynamics are, in general, not adequate for describing rarefied gas flows. Moreover, while the Stokes equations -- a simplified version of the Navier--Stokes--Fourier equations -- are effective in modeling slow and steady liquid flow past a sphere, they fail to yield a non-trivial solution to the problem of slow and steady liquid flow past an infinitely long cylinder (a two-dimensional problem essentially); this is referred to as Stokes' paradox. The paradox also arises when studying these problems for gases. In this paper, we present a way to obtain meaningful solutions for two-dimensional flows of rarefied gases around objects by circumventing Stokes' paradox. To this end, we adopt an extended hydrodynamic model, referred to as the CCR model, consisting of the balance equations for the mass, momentum and energy and closed with the coupled constitutive relations. We determine an analytic solution of the CCR model for the problem and compare it with a numerical solution based on the method of fundamental solutions. Apart from addressing flow past a circular cylinder, we aim to showcase the capabilities of the method of fundamental solutions to predict the flow past other objects in two dimensions for which analytic solutions do not exist or are difficult to determine. For that, we investigate the problem of rarefied gas flow past an infinitely long semicircular cylinder.

description: The universal approximation property is fundamental to the success of neural networks, and has traditionally been achieved by training networks without any constraints on their parameters. However, recent experimental research proposed a novel permutation-based training method, which exhibited a desired classification performance without modifying the exact weight values. In this paper, we provide a theoretical guarantee of this permutation training method by proving its ability to guide a ReLU network to approximate one-dimensional continuous functions. Our numerical results further validate this method's efficiency in regression tasks with various initializations. The notable observations during weight permutation suggest that permutation training can provide an innovative tool for describing network learning behavior.

Two-cluster approach to the properties of one- and two-neutron-halo nuclei

description: In this work, we present a new approximate method for obtaining simple wave functions for the ground state of exotic nuclei with a neutron halo. We model the system as a two-cluster structure, treating the core and halo as inert objects. The relative wave function is expressed as a combination of simple harmonic oscillator states, with the oscillator parameter determined from the separation energy. Since these wave functions lack the expected exponential decay, we introduce a simple multiplicative renormalization factor based on the nuclear root mean square radius. This approach, combining oscillator wave functions and the renormalization factor, is then applied to calculate dipole strength distributions $dB(E1,\varepsilon)/d\varepsilon$ and Coulomb dissociation cross section $dσ(E1,\varepsilon)/d\varepsilon$ for several $1n$- and $2n$-halo nuclei. The results show excellent agreement with the available experimental data.

description: The impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic were deep and lasting, and the effects on research and researchers have been widely documented. This paper contributes to this literature through an investigation of the gendered and geographical impacts of the pandemic on the five Regional Studies Association (RSA) journals. With the cooperation of Taylor & Francis, the RSA’s journal publisher, we generate a database of manuscripts submitted between January 2018 and December 2022. Employing gender-estimating algorithms and geographical locations of lead authors, we explore overall submission patterns over this five-year period, as well as trends in final editorial decisions by authorship characteristics, gender and geography. We find evidence that the COVID-19 pandemic temporarily depressed manuscript submissions, with heterogeneous effects depending on journal, continent and composition of authorship team. We also find strong evidence of persistent gender disparities in submission and acceptance rates that predate the pandemic, and therefore cannot be attributed solely to its effects. These findings reinforce the importance of identifying and effectively tackling persistent inequalities in academic publishing, and highlight that further action may be required in order to ensure equity and inclusivity in academic and research practices.
