description: Accurate identification of delirium in sepsis patients is crucial for guiding clinical diagnosis and treatment. However, there are no accurate biomarkers and indicators at present. We aimed to identify which combinations of cognitive impairment-related biomarkers and other easily accessible assessments best predict delirium in sepsis patients. 101 sepsis patients were enrolled in a prospective study cohort. S100B, NSE, and BNIP3 L biomarkers were detected in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid and patients' optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD). The optimal biomarkers identified by Logistic regression are combined with other factors such as ONSD to filter out the perfect model to predict delirium in sepsis patients through Logistic regression, Naïve Bayes, decision tree, and neural network models. Among all biomarkers, compared with BNIP3 L (AUC 0.706, 95% CI 0.597-0.815) and NSE (0.711, 95% CI 0.609-0.813) in cerebrospinal fluid, plasma S100B (AUC 0.729, 95% CI 0.626-0.832) had the best discrimination performance for delirium in sepsis patients. Logistic regression analysis showed that the combination of cerebrospinal fluid BNIP3 L with plasma S100B, ONSD, neutrophils, and age provided the best discrimination to cognitive impairment in sepsis patients (accuracy:0.901, specificity: 0.923, sensitivity:0.911), which was better than Naïve Bayes, decision tree and neural network models. Neutrophils, ONSD, and cerebrospinal fluid BNIP3 L were consistently the major contributors in a few models. The Logistic regression showed that combination model was strongly correlated with cognitive dysfunction in sepsis patients.

description: Computer-assisted reconstruction of no-longer existent (architectural) objects and their surroundings practically amounts to a “virtual comeback”. Irreversible destruction having removed identity-establishing buildings from the urban surface for all times is the principal cause for the attempt of renewed imaginating. Following the destruction of the so-called “Reichskristall-Night” of November 1938 the synagogues of the Jewish community in Vienna surely are to be considered for a virtual reconstruction. 60 years later, in the commemorative year of 1998 the first synagogue reconstruction was initiated. The medium-range goal, however, aims at the reconstruction of at least ten further synagogues within a project to be carried out in stages to be pursued over a period of several years. Fluctuations concerning the people involved in handling also call for a structure to be tracked down later on. This contribution deals with handling of modeling in a systematic manner aiming at a traceable data structure being of utmost importance for subsequent use and following-up work.
A weakly compressible SPH method for violent multi-phase flows with high density ratio

description: The weakly compressible SPH (WCSPH) method is known suffering from low computational efficiency, or unnatural voids and unrealistic phase separation when it is applied to simulate highly violent multi-phase flows with high density ratio, such as that between water and air. In this paper, to remedy these issues, we propose a multi-phase WCSPH method based on a low-dissipation Riemann solver and the transport-velocity formulation. The two-phase Riemann problem is first constructed to handle the pairwise interaction between fluid particles, then modified for the fluid-wall interaction to impose the solid wall boundary condition. Since the method uses the same artificial speed of sound for both heavy and light phases, the computational efficiency increases greatly. Furthermore, due to the transport-velocity formulation employed for the light phase and application of the two-phase Riemann problem, the unnatural voids and unrealistic phase separation are effectively eliminated. The method is validated with several 2- and 3D cases involving violent water-air flows. The results have been compared with existing experimental data, previous numerical and analytical solutions, where the proposed method demonstrates good robustness, improved or comparable accuracy, respectively, comparing to previous methods with same choice of sound speed or those with much less computational efficiency.

description: The aim of this work is to shed light on some lesser known aspects of Polyakov-loop--extended chiral models (namely the Polyakov-loop extended Nambu--Jona-Lasinio and Quark-Meson models), especially on the correlation of the quark sector with the Polyakov loop. We show that the ordering of chiral and Polyakov-loop transitions and their difference in temperature as seen in lattice QCD calculations could be realized with a critical scale of the Polyakov-loop potential that is larger than the one in pure gauge theory. The comparison of the results for the Polyakov-loop susceptibility obtained using the self-consistent medium-dependent quark mass with those obtained while keeping these masses at a fixed value allows to disentangle chiral-symmetry restoration and center-symmetry breaking effects. Furthermore, a confined chirally restored phase is identified by a plateau in the quark contribution to thermodynamics and by sigma and pion spectral functions that coincide but have a small width. We also discuss that, for some large chemical potential values, the explicit center-symmetry breaking is so strong that statistical deconfinement is realized at infinitely small temperatures. Both the missing sensitivity of the Polyakov loop to the quark mass, except at close to the chiral transition, and the Polyakov loop being zero at zero temperature at all chemical potentials, can be interpreted as indications of a missing mechanism which accounts for the quark back-reaction on the Polyakov loop.

description: Suppose X is a smooth projective 3-fold of general type and |mK_X| is composed of a pencil of surfaces with m>1. This pencil naturally induces a fibration f:X->C onto a smooth curve C after the Stein-factorization, which is the main objects of this article. Based on Koll'ar's earlier works, we improve on it and try to understand the family in terms of discrete birational invariants of the total space as well as those of the general fiber and the base curve. The aim of this note is to build a little bit basic facts.

description: We investigate the effect of dissipation from a thermal environment on topological pumping in the periodically-driven Rice-Mele model. We report that dissipation can improve the robustness of pumping quantisation in a regime of finite driving frequencies. Specifically, in this regime, a low-temperature dissipative dynamics can lead to a pumped charge that is much closer to the Thouless quantised value, compared to a coherent evolution. We understand this effect in the Floquet framework: dissipation increases the population of a Floquet band which shows a topological winding, where pumping is essentially quantised. This finding is a step towards understanding a potentially very useful resource to exploit in experiments, where dissipation effects are unavoidable. We consider small couplings with the environment and we use a Bloch-Redfield quantum master equation approach for our numerics: Comparing these results with an exact MPS numerical treatment we find that the quantum master equation works very well also at low temperature, a quite remarkable fact.

description: In the system we use for recording and transmitting lectures over the Internet, the board content is transmitted as vector graphics, producing thus a high quality image, while the video of the lecturer is sent as a separate stream. It is easy for the viewer to read the board but the lecturer appears in a separate window. To eliminate this problem, we segment the lecturer from the video stream and paste his image onto the board image at video stream rates. The lecturer can be dimmed from opaque to semitransparent, or even transparent. This paper explains the techniques we apply to achieve this and argue that it can also compete with state of the art image segmentation used for foreground extraction in still images. The approach does not only provide a solution to the divided attention problem which arises when board and lecturer images are transmitted in two different streams, it can also be applied to a variety of other problems where a foreground object must be segmented.

Subjects: subject: Temporal database
subject: point approach
subject: virtual binary tree
subject: index structure
subject: query algorithm

description: A Temporal database is one that supports some aspect of time distinct from user defined time. Over the last two decades interest in the field of temporal databases has increased significantly, with contributions from many researchers. However, the lack of efficient access methods is perhaps one of the reasons why commercial RDBMS vendors have been reluctant to adopt the advances in temporal database research. Therefore, an obvious research question is: can we develop more robust and more efficient access methods for temporal databases than the existing ones? This thesis attempts to address this question, and the main contributions of this study are summarised as follows: We investigated different representations of 'now' and how the modelling of current time influences the efficiency of accessing 'now relative' temporal data. A new method, called the 'Point' approach, is proposed. Our approach not only elegantly models the current time but also significantly outperforms the existing methods. We proposed a new index structure, called a Virtual Binary tree (VB-tree), based on spatial representation of interval data and a regular triangular decomposition of this space. Further, we described a sound and complete query algorithm. The performance of the algorithm is then evaluated both asymptotically and experimentally with respect to the state-of-the-art in the field. We claim that the VB-tree requires less space and uses fewer disk accesses than the currently best known structure - the RI-tree.

description: The ability to recognize dangerous situations and environments is crucial for survival, but overestimating risk can lead to pathological avoidance of normal activities, potentially leading to anxiety disorders. Many studies over the past several decades have begun to identify the brain regions underlying threat detection and anxiety behavior. In particular, the ventral hippocampus has emerged as a critical structure for emotional behaviors, including innate anxiety. Recent work from our lab and others has shown that ventral CA1 pyramidal neurons encode information about anxiety, and these CA1 neurons preferentially target downstream structures such as hypothalamus and medial prefrontal cortex. However, the neural representation of anxiogenic environments in the initial stage of the trisynaptic circuit— the dentate gyrus— is unknown. Here, I use Dock10-Cre and Drd2-Cre mouse lines to gain optical access to granule cells and mossy cells, respectively, in the ventral dentate gyrus. Calcium activity was recorded during free exploration of the elevated plus maze (EPM) and open field test (OFT). Single cell activity and population coding were analyzed for mossy cells, granule cells, and CA1 pyramidal neurons. I found that anxiety-related activity was present in granule cells and vCA1, however mossy cells encoded novelty and spatial position. Furthermore, chemogenetic inhibition of mossy cells did not disrupt behavior in the EPM or OFT, but did disrupt acquisition of a contextual fear memory. These findings support the notion that different features of an anxiogenic environment are encoded by different cell types, and that anxiety information is present at the earliest stage of the trisynaptic circuit.

description: The spin-orbit Mott insulator Sr${}_2$IrO${}_4$ has attracted a lot of interest in recent years from theory and experiment due to its close connection to isostructural high-temperature copper oxide superconductors. Despite of not being superconducting its spectral features closely resemble those of the cuprates, including Fermi surface and pseudogap properties. In this article, we review and extend recent work in the theoretical description of the spectral function of pure and electron-doped Sr${}_2$IrO${}_4$ based on a cluster extension of dynamical mean-field theory ("oriented-cluster DMFT") and compare it to available angle-resolved photoemission data. Current theories provide surprisingly good agreement for pure and electron-doped Sr${}_2$IrO${}_4$, both in the paramagnetic and antiferromagnetic phases. Most notably, one obtains simple explanations for the experimentally observed steep feature around the $M$ point and the pseudo-gap-like spectral feature in electron-doped Sr${}_2$IrO${}_4$.

description: Dissipative systems can be described in terms of non-hermitian hamiltonians H, whose left eigenvectors f^j and right eigenvectors f_j form a bi-orthogonal system. Bi-orthogonal systems could suffer from two difficulties. (a) If the eigenvectors do not span the whole space, then H can only be diagonalized to blocks (the Jordan-block problem). (b) Normalization would not be possible and many familiar-looking formulas would fail if (f^j,f_j) = 0 for some j (the orthonormalization problem). Waves in open systems provide a well-founded realization of a bi-orthogonal system, and it is shown that these two problems can indeed occur and are both related to higher-order poles in the frequency-domain Green's function. The resolution is then given by introducing a generalized duality transformation involving extra basis vectors, whose time evolution is modified by polynomials in the time t. One thus obtains a nontrivial extension of the bi-orthogonal formalism for dissipative systems.

description: Although pulmonary hypertension (PH) and Eisenmenger’s syndrome (ES) are common complications in adult congenital heart disease (ACHD), the frequency of diagnostic tests and the incidence of PH/ES in patients with ACHD in Japanese clinical practice are unclear. Therefore, we sought to clarify the frequency of diagnostic tests and incidence of PH/ES in patients with ACHD using the Medical Data Vision (MDV) database, the largest anonymized database of diagnosis procedure combination hospitals in Japan. We conducted a retrospective cohort study using the MDV database (April 2008 to December 2021) of patients with ACHD (International Classificaiton of Diseases, 10th revision codes: Q203-204, Q210-213, Q250) aged ≥15 years. The frequency of laboratory/clinical tests and the incidence of PH/ES were calculated. Subgroup analyses were performed for the periods 2008–2015 and 2016–2021. Overall, 28219 ACHD patients were extracted from the MDV database (females 56.3%, males 43.7%; mean ± standard deviation age 44.7 ± 23.5 years). The mean ± standard deviation follow-up period was 2.5 ± 2.7 years. The frequencies of electrocardiography, ultrasonography, brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), N-terminal pro-BNP (NT-proBNP), right heart catheterization, and pulmonary function tests (DLCO) were 2149.8, 1054, 1233, 340, 40.0, and 6.0 per 1000 person-years, respectively. The incidence rate of PH/ES was 32.8 per 1000 person-years. The incidence rate of PH/ES increased from 24.6 to 46.7 per 1000 person-years from 2008–2015 to 2016–2021. We have clarified the frequency of diagnostic tests related to PH/ES and the incidence of PH/ES in patients with ACHD in clinical practice in Japan, including non-specialist institutions for PH.

description: One of the fundamental differences between automorphic representations of classical groups like GL(n) and their metaplectic covers is that in the latter case the space of Whittaker functionals usually has a dimension bigger than one. Gelbart and Piatetski-Shapiro called the metaplectic representations, which possess a unique Whittaker model, distinguished and classified them for the double cover of the group GL(2). Later Patterson and Piatetski-Shapiro used a converse theorem to list the distinguished representations for the degree three cover of GL(3). In their milestone paper on general metaplectic covers of GL(n) Kazhdan and Patterson construct examples of non-cuspidal distinguished representations, which come as residues of metaplectic Eisenstein series. These are generalizations of the classical Jacobi theta functions. Despite some impressive local results to date,  cuspidal distinguished representations are not classified or even constructed outside rank 1 and 2.
      In her thesis Wang makes some progress toward the classification in rank 3.
      In this dissertation we construct the distinguished representations for the degree four metaplectic cover of GL(4), applying a classical converse theorem like Patterson and Piatetski-Shapiro in the case of rank 2.
      We obtain the necessary local properties of the Rankin-Selberg convolutions at the ramified places and finish the proof of the construction of cuspidal distinguished representations in rank 3.

It is associated with comorbidities, increased mortality, reduced quality of life and economic burden. Adequate treatment is critical to alleviate symptoms; however, the treatment burden is substantial. To understand how different treatment aspects might ease the burden, this study investigated preferences for treatment options among people with acromegaly in the US, using a choice experiment (CE). An online CE was conducted based on a similar study among the US general population. Respondents were recruited through Acromegaly Community in the US, and all eligible respondents were included. The survey assessed six treatment options that varied according to administration, frequency, storage, treatment setting, needle type and injection pain. 109 adults with acromegaly completed the survey between October and December 2022. On average, the population had lived with symptoms for 15 years, while the average number of years with the diagnosis was eight. Respondents preferred subcutaneous injections every fourth week and preferred them at home rather than at the hospital. Most respondents preferred subcutaneous injections right under the skin administered once every fourth week with a pen at home over oral capsules administered twice daily at home. The results indicate that new treatment options administered as subcutaneous injections right under the skin once every fourth week at home have the potential to lower the treatment burden among people with acromegaly, emphasizing the importance of taking each person’s preference into consideration when choosing treatment.

description: The SciX (Open, self organising repository for scientific information exchange) project is a project funded by the European Commission in order to demonstrate the feasibility of new alternative models of scientific publishing made possible by the Internet. The project builds upon the previous experience of some of the partners in running an electronic peer reviewed journal and in setting up an e-prints archive. The project includes both theoretical work in making a formal model of the scientific publishing process, to be used as a basis for studying the life-cycle costs of alternative business models, and a demonstrator of a functioning e-prints archive.

description: The Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model, containing dimerized hopping and a constant onsite energy, has become a paradigmatic model for one-dimensional topological phases, soliton excitations and fractionalized charge in the presence of chiral symmetry. Motivated by the recent developments in engineering artificial lattices, we study an alternative model where hopping is constant but the onsite energy is dimerized. We find that it has a non-symmorphic chiral symmetry and supports topologically distinct phases described by a $\mathbb{Z}_{2}$ invariant $ν$. In the case of multimode ribbon we also find topological phases protected by hidden symmetries and we uncover the corresponding $\mathbb{Z}_{2}$ invariants $ν_{n}$. We show that, in contrast to the SSH case, zero-energy states do not necessarily appear at the boundary between topologically distinct phases, but instead these systems support a new kind of bulk-boundary correspondence: The energy of the topological domain wall states typically scales to zero as $1/w$, where $w$ is the width of the domain wall separating phases with different topology. Moreover, under specific circumstances we also find a faster scaling $e^{-w/ξ}$, where $ξ$ is an intrinsic length scale. We show that the spectral flow of these states and the charge of the domain walls are different than in the case of the SSH model.

description: Limited real-world evidence exists to better understand the patient experience of living with symptoms and impacts of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). This study aimed to (1) describe patient-reported perspectives of NASH symptoms and impacts on patients’ daily lives and (2) develop a patient-centered conceptual NASH model. A cross-sectional study using semi-structured qualitative interviews was conducted among adults (≥18 years) in the United States living with NASH. Eligible participants were diagnosed with NASH, had mild to advanced fibrosis (F1-F3), and no other causes of liver disease. The interview guide was informed by a targeted literature review (TLR) to identify clinical signs, symptoms, impacts, and unmet treatment needs of NASH. Participants described their experiences and perspectives around NASH and the symptoms, symptom severity/bother, and impact of NASH on their daily activities. Interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim for coding and thematic analysis. Twenty participants (age: 42.4 years; female: 50.0%) were interviewed. Participants discussed their experience with NASH symptoms (most frequent: fatigue [75.0%]; weakness/lethargy [70.0%]) and impacts (most frequent: physical and psychological/emotional [70.0% each]; dietary [68.4%]). Participants considered most symptoms to be moderately severe or severe and moderately or highly bothersome. Findings from the TLR and qualitative interviews were incorporated into a conceptual model that describes patient-reported symptoms and impacts of NASH, clinical signs, risk factors, and unmet treatment needs. Our study provides insights into patients’ perspectives of NASH symptoms and their impact on their daily lives. These findings may guide patient-physician conversations, supporting patient-centered treatment decisions and disease management. Study findings help to address the gap in current literature about patients’ perspectives on NASH and its symptoms as well as its impact on daily life. The study proposes a holistic conceptual model that describes patients’ perspectives of living with NASH, including symptoms and their impact, the clinical signs and risk factors of NASH, and the unmet treatment needs of the disease. Healthcare providers can use study findings to inform patient-focused decisions around treatment strategies for NASH.

description: We have investigated the radiation damage effects on a CCD to be employed in the Japanese X-ray astronomy mission including the Monitor of All-sky X-ray Image (MAXI) onboard the International Space Station (ISS). Since low energy protons release their energy mainly at the charge transfer channel, resulting a decrease of the charge transfer efficiency, we thus focused on the low energy protons in our experiments. A 171 keV to 3.91 MeV proton beam was irradiated to a given device. We measured the degradation of the charge transfer inefficiency (CTI) as a function of incremental fluence. A 292 keV proton beam degraded the CTI most seriously. Taking into account the proton energy dependence of the CTI, we confirmed that the transfer channel has the lowest radiation tolerance. We have also developed the different device architectures to reduce the radiation damage in orbit. Among them, the ``notch'' CCD, in which the buried channel implant concentration is increased, resulting in a deeper potential well than outside, has three times higher radiation tolerance than that of the normal CCD. We then estimated the charge transfer inefficiency of the CCD in the orbit of ISS, considering the proton energy spectrum. The CTI value is estimated to be 1.1e-5 per each transfer after two years of mission life in the worse case analysis if the highest radiation-tolerant device is employed. This value is well within the acceptable limit and we have confirmed the high radiation-tolerance of CCDs for the MAXI mission.

description: The obscuring structure surrounding active galactic nuclei (AGN) can be explained as a dust and gas flow cycle that fundamentally connects the AGN with their host galaxies. This structure is believed to be associated with dusty winds driven by radiation pressure. However, the role of magnetic fields, which are invoked in almost all models for accretion onto a supermassive black hole and outflows, is not thoroughly studied. Here we report the first detection of polarized thermal emission by means of magnetically aligned dust grains in the dusty torus of NGC 1068 using ALMA Cycle 4 polarimetric dust continuum observations ($0.07"$, $4.2$ pc; 348.5 GHz, $860$ $μ$m). The polarized torus has an asymmetric variation across the equatorial axis with a peak polarization of $3.7\pm0.5$\% and position angle of $109\pm2^{\circ}$ (B-vector) at $\sim8$ pc east from the core. We compute synthetic polarimetric observations of magnetically aligned dust grains assuming a toroidal magnetic field and homogeneous grain alignment. We conclude that the measured 860 $μ$m continuum polarization arises from magnetically aligned dust grains in an optically thin region of the torus. The asymmetric polarization across the equatorial axis of the torus arises from 1) an inhomogeneous optical depth, and 2) a variation of the velocity dispersion, i.e. variation of the magnetic field turbulence at sub-pc scales, from the eastern to the western region of the torus. These observations and modeling constrain the torus properties beyond spectral energy distribution results. This study strongly supports that magnetic fields up to a few pc contribute to the accretion flow onto the active nuclei.

description: Beginning with the work of Lohe [14,15] there have been a number of papers [3,5,8,9,11] that have generalized the Kuramoto model for phase-locking to a non-commuting situation. Here we propose and analyze another such model. We consider a collection of symmetric matrix-valued variables that evolve in such a way as to try to align their eigenvector frames. The phase-locked state is one where the eigenframes all align, and thus the matrices all commute. We analyze the stability of the phase-locked state and show that it is stable. We also analyze a dynamic analog of the twist states arising in the standard Kuramoto model, and show that these twist states are dynamically unstable.

description: The purpose of this note is to introduce a new method for proving the existence of Sasakian-Einstein metrics on certain simply connected odd dimensional manifolds. We then apply this method to prove the existence of new Sasakian-Einstein metrics on $\scriptstyle{S^2\times S^3}$ and on $\scriptstyle{(S^2\times S^3)# (S^2\times S^3).}$ These give the first known examples of non-regular Sasakian-Einstein 5-manifolds. Our method involves describing the Sasakian-Einstein structures as links of certain isolated hypersurface singularities, and makes use of the recent work of Demailly and Kollár, AG/9910118, who obtained new examples of Kähler-Einstein del Pezzo surfaces with quotient singularities.

description: A method for estimating the spectral gap along with higher eigenvalues of nonequilateral quantum graphs has been introduced by Amini and Cohen-Steiner recently: it is based on a new transference principle between discrete and continuous models of a graph. We elaborate on it by developing a more general transference principle and by proposing alternative ways of applying it. To illustrate our findings, we present several spectral estimates on planar metric graphs that are oftentimes sharper than those obtained by isoperimetric inequalities and further previously known methods.
