Non-invasive ventilation in motor neuron disease/amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: an Australian perspective
Creators: name: Chow, Wai Kuen
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: There is a paucity in Australian literature regarding the current practice trends in the use of non-invasive ventilation therapy in patients with motor neuron disease/ amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (MND). The issue of whether non-invasive ventilation support should be provided to patients with irreversible neurodegenerative disease remains debated by some clinicians. An understanding of the practices of Australian and New Zealand specialists with respects to non-invasive ventilation (NIV) in motor neuron disease is thus important. This study reports the findings of a questionnaire study conducted in Australia and New Zealand via the memberships of the Thoracic Society of Australia and New Zealand, and The Australia and New Zealand Association of Neurologists. It aimed to gain insight into the respiratory and neurologist specialists’ current practice and preferences in non-invasive ventilation therapy (NIV) for Motor Neuron Disease (MND) patients. In this study, the rate of NIV therapy use in MND patients by the respiratory physicians and neurologists was 75% and 29% respectively. Sixty percent of neurologists referred symptomatic MND patients to either a respiratory physician or to MND multidisciplinary clinic. There was high variability in the manner patients were assessed as needing NIV therapy, as there was in how patients were monitored on treatment.
Are Bell-tests only about local incompatibility?

description: The view exists that Bell-tests would only be about local incompatibility of quantum observables and that quantum non-locality would be an unnecessary concept in physics. In this note, we emphasize that it is not incompatibility at the local level that is important for the violation of Bell-CHSH inequality, but incompatibility at the non-local level of the joint measurements. Hence, non-locality remains a necessary concept to properly interpret the outcomes of certain joint quantum measurements.

description: Despite the more than one order of magnitude difference between the measured dipole moments in $^{144}$Ba and $^{146}$Ba, the strength of the octupole correlations in $^{146}$Ba are found to be as strong as those in $^{144}$Ba with a similarly large value of $B(E3;3^- \rightarrow 0^+)$ determined as 48($^{+21}_{-29}$) W.u. The new results not only establish unambiguously the presence of a region of octupole deformation centered on these neutron-rich Ba isotopes, but also manifest the dependence of the electric dipole moments on the occupancy of different neutron orbitals in nuclei with enhanced octupole strength, as revealed by fully microscopic calculations.

Hamiltonian analogs of combustion engines: a systematic exception to adiabatic decoupling

description: Workhorse theories throughout all of physics derive effective Hamiltonians to describe slow time evolution, even though low-frequency modes are actually coupled to high-frequency modes. Such effective Hamiltonians are accurate because of \textit{adiabatic decoupling}: the high-frequency modes `dress' the low-frequency modes, and renormalize their Hamiltonian, but they do not steadily inject energy into the low-frequency sector. Here, however, we identify a broad class of dynamical systems in which adiabatic decoupling fails to hold, and steady energy transfer across a large gap in natural frequency (`steady downconversion') instead becomes possible, through nonlinear resonances of a certain form. Instead of adiabatic decoupling, the special features of multiple time scale dynamics lead in these cases to efficiency constraints that somewhat resemble thermodynamics.

description: Attention is an important mechanism that can be employed for a variety of deep learning models across many different domains and tasks. This survey provides an overview of the most important attention mechanisms proposed in the literature. The various attention mechanisms are explained by means of a framework consisting of a general attention model, uniform notation, and a comprehensive taxonomy of attention mechanisms. Furthermore, the various measures for evaluating attention models are reviewed, and methods to characterize the structure of attention models based on the proposed framework are discussed. Last, future work in the field of attention models is considered.

Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Genetics
subject: FOS: Biological sciences

description: The use of medical devices is in continuous expansion and constitutes a valid aid to ailing people, due to remarkable technological advances. The regulation on their circulation in Italy and Europe are inspired by the principle of free circulation. In fact it is sufficient for a device to have the CE logo for it to be freely commercialized in all of Europe. This way of operating that favours commerce, exposes the sick to the risk of harm from defective devices that have not been suitably checked prior to their commercialization. Having discussed a few episodes characterized by device malfunctioning, the authors observe the need for a more careful “control” policy for devices, adequate care on the part of doctors who use such tools, and of suitable insurance measures for the patient in the event of harm.

description: The thermodynamic entropy of coarse-grained (CG) models stands as one of the most important properties for quantifying the missing information during the CG process and for establishing transferable (or extendible) CG interactions. However, performing additional CG simulations on top of model construction often leads to significant additional computational overhead. In this work, we propose a simple hierarchical framework for predicting the thermodynamic entropies of various molecular CG systems. Our approach employs a decomposition of the CG interactions, enabling the estimation of the CG partition function and thermodynamic properties a priori. Starting from the ideal gas description, we leverage classical perturbation theory to systematically incorporate simple yet essential interactions, ranging from the hard sphere model to the generalized van der Waals model. Additionally, we propose an alternative approach based on multiparticle correlation functions, allowing for systematic improvements through higher-order correlations. Numerical applications to molecular liquids validate the high fidelity of our approach, and our computational protocols demonstrate that a reduced model with simple energetics can reasonably estimate the thermodynamic entropy of CG models without performing any CG simulations. Overall, our findings present a systematic framework for estimating not only the entropy but also other thermodynamic properties of CG models, relying solely on information from the reference system.

description: A main objective of the present paper is to develop the theory of hypercyclicity and supercyclicity of linear operators on topological vector space over non-Archimedean valued fields. We show that there does not exist any hypercyclic operator on finite dimensional spaces. Moreover, we give sufficient and necessary conditions of hypercyclicity (resp. supercyclicity) of linear operators on separable $F$-spaces. It is proven that a linear operator $T$ on topological vector space $X$ is hypercyclic (supercyclic) if it satisfies Hypercyclic (resp. Supercyclic) Criterion. We consider backward shifts on $c_0$, and characterize hypercyclicity and supercyclicity of such kinds of shifts. Finally, we study hypercyclicity, supercyclicity of operators $λI+μB$, where $I$ is identity and $B$ is backward shift. We note that there are essential differences between the non-Archimedean and real cases.

Investigating the practical application of the social relational model of disability: examining early childhood educator's inclusive education
Creators: name: Wright, Katie
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: The discussion over whether or not inclusion works is defunct, with research providing evidence that children directly benefit when strategic aspects of environments and intentional teaching are in place. Inclusive education is a human right, and there is growing promise of inclusive education, as explained in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD, 2006). However, barriers to the inclusion of children with disability in educational settings remain. Early childhood educators have a social responsibility to advocate for children’s inclusive education, yet many educators report uncertainty about how to include children with diverse abilities. The purpose of this study was to identify links between the theory of the social relational model of disability, and educational practice. Bronfenbrenner’s ecocultural theory was utilised to identify children within their different contexts. Educators and parents’ perspectives of identifying and challenging barriers to doing, and barriers to being, were investigated within three early childhood centres. Eight educators working in early childhood centres in Sydney completed online educator questionnaires, and thirty parents from these centres completed online parent questionnaires. One interview was conducted with a centre director. This sequential design included quantitative and qualitative investigation. Data analysis allowed for identification of barriers within different aspects of early childhood contexts including communication, environments, resources, and attitudes. Through the findings, links were identified between the theory of the social relational model of disability and educational practice, together with gaps in the educators and parent’s understandings of inclusion in these three centres. Findings from this study have implications for early childhood centre contexts, policy development of inclusive education, and for educator’s inclusive practice.

description: With the constantly growing number of reviews and other sentiment-bearing texts on the Web, the demand for automatic sentiment analysis algorithms continues to expand. Aspect-based sentiment classification (ABSC) allows for the automatic extraction of highly fine-grained sentiment information from text documents or sentences. In this survey, the rapidly evolving state of the research on ABSC is reviewed. A novel taxonomy is proposed that categorizes the ABSC models into three major categories: knowledge-based, machine learning, and hybrid models. This taxonomy is accompanied with summarizing overviews of the reported model performances, and both technical and intuitive explanations of the various ABSC models. State-of-the-art ABSC models are discussed, such as models based on the transformer model, and hybrid deep learning models that incorporate knowledge bases. Additionally, various techniques for representing the model inputs and evaluating the model outputs are reviewed. Furthermore, trends in the research on ABSC are identified and a discussion is provided on the ways in which the field of ABSC can be advanced in the future.

description: We examine the gender balance of the 18th and 19th meetings of the Cambridge Workshop on Cool Stellar Systems and the Sun (CS18 and CS19). The percent of female attendees at both meetings (31% at CS18 and 37% at CS19) was higher than the percent of women in the American Astronomical Society (25%) and the International Astronomical Union (18%). The representation of women in Cool Stars as SOC members, invited speakers, and contributed speakers was similar to or exceeded the percent of women attending the meetings. We requested that conference attendees assist in a project to collect data on the gender of astronomers asking questions after talks. Using this data, we found that men were over-represented (and women were under-represented) in the question sessions after each talk. Men asked 79% of the questions at CS18 and 75% of the questions at CS19, but were 69% and 63% of the attendees respectively. Contrary to findings from previous conferences, we did not find that the gender balance of questions was strongly affected by the session chair gender, the speaker gender, or the length of the question period. We also found that female and male speakers were asked a comparable number of questions after each talk. The contrast of these results from previous incarnations of the gender questions survey indicate that more data would be useful in understanding the factors that contribute to the gender balance of question askers. We include a preliminary set of recommendations based on this and other work on related topics, but also advocate for additional research on the demographics of conference participants. Additional data on the intersection of gender with race, seniority, sexual orientation, ability and other marginalized identities is necessary to fully address the role of gender in asking questions at conferences.

description: More than 90% of the population of the north of Siberia (Russian Federation) inhabiting near oil field sites is infected with the endemic helminth of Opisthorchis felineus. We demonstrated that the oil industry workers with the length of service at oil fields more than ten years do not have homozygous mutant alleles of CYP1A1 and GSTM1 genes of xenobiotic biotransformation system. Moreover, opisthorchiasis infection induces among the workers with homozygous mutant alleles of the genes significant increase in the frequency of cytogenetical abnormal cells as well as the deterioration of their health. It has been found that the Opisthorchis felineus infected workers with mutant alleles of the genes generally fail to work effectively and are retired. The habit of smoking among the workers also significantly increased the frequency of micronucleated cells.

description: The Coronavirus was detected in Wuhan, China in late 2019 and then led to a pandemic with a rapid worldwide outbreak. The number of infected people has been swiftly increasing since then. Therefore, in this study, an attempt was made to propose a new and efficient method for automatic diagnosis of Corona disease from X-ray images using Deep Neural Networks (DNNs). In the proposed method, the DensNet169 was used to extract the features of the patients' Chest X-Ray (CXR) images. The extracted features were given to a feature selection algorithm (i.e., ANOVA) to select a number of them. Finally, the selected features were classified by LightGBM algorithm. The proposed approach was evaluated on the ChestX-ray8 dataset and reached 99.20% and 94.22% accuracies in the two-class (i.e., COVID-19 and No-findings) and multi-class (i.e., COVID-19, Pneumonia, and No-findings) classification problems, respectively.

description: Much of the rich physics of correlated systems is manifested in the diverse range of intertwined ordered phases and other quantum states that are associated with different electronic and structural degrees of freedom. Here we find that PrCuSb$_2$ exhibits such phenomena, which at ambient pressure exhibits a fragile antiferromagnetic order, where cooling in a small $c$ axis magnetic field leads to an additional transition to a field-induced ferromagnetic state. This corresponds to an 'inverse melting' effect, whereby further cooling the system restores symmetries of the paramagnetic state broken at the antiferromagnetic transition. Moreover, hydrostatic pressure induces an additional first-order transition at low temperatures, which despite being not likely associated with solely magnetic degrees of freedom, is closely entwined with the magnetic order, disappearing once antiferromagnetism is destroyed by pressure or magnetic fields. Consequently, PrCuSb$_2$ presents a distinct scenario for interplay between different orders, underscoring the breadth of such behaviors within one family of correlated materials.

Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2019

description: Objective: To develop a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) based genetic-based algorithm among patients with low back pain to screen for axial spondyloarthritis (SpA). Methods: An 18-plex genetic assay was designed using a MassARRAY, consisting of SNPs associated with ankylosing spondylitis (AS), psoriasis, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and uveitis. 1172 AS cases and 848 controls have been analyzed over two cohorts. A machine learning algorithm was created using a J48/C4.5 decision tree model; the first decision was human leukocyte antigen B 27 (HLA-B*27) status. The initial algorithm was validated in an independent cohort. The discovery and validation cohorts were then combined and the final genetic-based screening algorithm was weighted. Results: The SNP based algorithm that included HLA-B*27 positivity had a precision, specificity and sensitivity of; 0.83, 0.83, and 0.80, respectively which is higher than the current HLA-B*27 based Assessment of Spondyloarthritis International Society (ASAS) classification criteria. The SNP based algorithm that included HLA-B*27 negativity had a precision, specificity and sensitivity of, 0.58, 0.32, and 0.69, respectively. Conclusions: This genetic screening algorithm is inexpensive, out performs the clinical arm of the current ASAS classification criteria and can potentially lead to earlier detection of axial SpA.
The Biotechnology and Genetics Race: Biomaterials Versus Biological Materials in Orthopaedic Applications

description: Bone consists of mature osteoblast cells and stem cells. In joints like the knee, for example, the large femur bone and the lower tibial bone are separated by cartilage and a fibro-cartilage meniscus spacer, both of which are composed of chondrocyte cells and which act as a shock absorber. These cartilage materials are often deteriorated by the accumulation of arthritic crystal aggregates and related deposits in this inter-bone region to create a variety of osteoarthritic knee problems. As these arthritic deposits build up, varying degrees of cartilage and meniscus granulation and tearing can occur. In the early stages, a minimally invasive surgical procedure called debridement or washing of the knee capsule to clean the accumulating debris along with dead chondrocycte cells can be performed. In some cases microfracture, drilling, and abrasion orthroplasty are performed to create scar-tissue to toughen the damaged cartilage. In severe circumstances of meniscus tearing it can be arthroscopically trimmed to reduce the tearing, but this can create stress displacement irregularities which can lead to further tearing and deterioration. Since the separated bones are alive, they will react to these stress variances by remodeling, which can lead to further joint deterioration, ultimately resulting in bone-on-bone situations which require surgical intervention to replace the damaged joint with implanted biomaterials. These are usually metallic alloy appliances fitted with a highly cross-linked polyethylene pad which acts as an artificial meniscus.

Recent theoretical and experimental studies have shown that nonreciprocal behavior can be achieved in optomechanical systems, but performance in these last two attributes has been limited. Here we demonstrate an efficient, frequency-converting microwave isolator based on the optomechanical interactions between electromagnetic fields and a mechanically compliant vacuum gap capacitor. We achieve simultaneous reverse isolation of more than 20 dB and insertion loss less than 1.5 dB over a bandwidth of 5 kHz. We characterize the nonreciprocal noise performance of the device, observing that the residual thermal noise from the mechanical environments is routed solely to the input of the isolator. Our measurements show quantitative agreement with a general coupled-mode theory. Unlike conventional isolators and circulators, these compact nonreciprocal devices do not require a static magnetic field, and they allow for dynamic control of the direction of isolation. With these advantages, similar devices could enable programmable, high-efficiency connections between disparate nodes of quantum networks, even efficiently bridging the microwave and optical domains.

description: A large amount of information is stored in data tables. Users can search for data tables using a keyword-based query. A table is composed primarily of data values that are organized in rows and columns providing implicit structural information. A table is usually accompanied by secondary information such as the caption, page title, etc., that form the textual information. Understanding the connection between the textual and structural information is an important yet neglected aspect in table retrieval as previous methods treat each source of information independently. In addition, users can search for data tables that are similar to an existing table, and this setting can be seen as a content-based table retrieval. In this paper, we propose StruBERT, a structure-aware BERT model that fuses the textual and structural information of a data table to produce context-aware representations for both textual and tabular content of a data table. StruBERT features are integrated in a new end-to-end neural ranking model to solve three table-related downstream tasks: keyword- and content-based table retrieval, and table similarity. We evaluate our approach using three datasets, and we demonstrate substantial improvements in terms of retrieval and classification metrics over state-of-the-art methods.

description: For future networks (i.e., the fifth generation (5G) wireless networks and beyond), millimeter-wave (mmWave) communication with large available unlicensed spectrum is a promising technology that enables gigabit multimedia applications. Thanks to the short wavelength of mmWave radio, massive antenna arrays can be packed into the limited dimensions of mmWave transceivers. Therefore, with directional beamforming (BF), both mmWave transmitters (MTXs) and mmWave receivers (MRXs) are capable of supporting multiple beams in 5G networks. However, for the transmission between an MTX and an MRX, most works have only considered a single beam, which means that they do not make full potential use of mmWave. Furthermore, the connectivity of single beam transmission can easily be blocked. In this context, we propose a single-user multi-beam concurrent transmission scheme for future mmWave networks with multiple reflected paths. Based on spatial spectrum reuse, the scheme can be described as a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technique in beamspace (i.e., in the beam-number domain). Moreover, this study investigates the challenges and potential solutions for implementing this scheme, including multibeam selection, cooperative beam tracking, multi-beam power allocation and synchronization. The theoretical and numerical results show that the proposed beamspace SU-MIMO can largely improve the achievable rate of the transmission between an MTX and an MRX and, meanwhile, can maintain the connectivity.

description: Linum usitatissimum L. (flax or linseed) is one of the oldest economically important crops used in biotechnology as a source for bioactive compounds. Flax fiber and seed have industrial significance as a source of cellulosic fiber for textile and paper industry and seed oil for pharmaceutical, cosmetic and food industry. The elaboration of new effective techniques for in vitro regeneration of Linum usitatissimum L. is very actual problem today. The influence of low molecular weight five and sixmembered nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds on organogenesis of Linum usitatissimum L. cultivar heavenly in vitro has been studied. It was found that heterocyclic compounds derivatives pyridine, pyrimidine, pyrazole and isoflavones revealed high stimulating effect on direct shoot organogenesis of Linum usitatissimum L. in vitro. The maximal shoot regeneration frequency was obtained on the MS media containing heterocyclic compounds at the concentration 10-8 M/l as compared to lower regeneration frequency obtained on the control MS medium containing 1 mg/l BAP and 0.05 mg/l NAA. The maximal index of explants with regeneration (in %) that exceeded almost twice the same index in control MS medium was obtained on the MS medium containing heterocyclic compound derivative of isoflavones. At the same time, the index of explants with regeneration (in %) that exceeded one and a half times the same index in control MS medium and the maximal index of shoots elongated more than 1 cm (in %) that exceeded almost twice the same index in control MS medium were obtained on the MS media containing heterocyclic compounds derivatives of pyridine, pyrimidine and pyrazole. The current study confirms perspective of using of low molecular weight five and six-membered nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds at the concentration 10-8 М/l of the MS medium as new effective substitutes of traditional growth regulators auxin NAA and cytokinin BAP for regeneration of Linum usitatissimum L. cultivar heavenly in vitro.

description: Using numerical simulations we study the accretion of a phantom scalar field into a black hole and track the black hole horizon shrinking process. We integrate the amount of field left outside the black hole during the process in terms of the properties of the wave packet sent toward the black hole. Our results indicate that the accretion of thick wave packets with small wave number is inefficient and a portion of the scalar field remains outside the black hole.

description: In this article, we report the growth of gold nanorods on glass substrates and copper nanoparticle thin films by cylindrical direct current magnetron sputtering (CDCMS) at room temperature. The grown gold nanorods have short lengths of < 20nm and show negative optical parameters in UV-Vis region. So far negative permittivity and permeability were only shown for complex artificial structures. In a case of simple structures like gold nanorods, the negative optical parameters were only predicted by simulation methods and considering ideal structures and they were not yet reported by experimental groups, who has grown or synthesis gold nanorods by physical or chemical methods. The small size of gold nanorods and thickness of our samples compare to other experimental groups could be the reason of negative permittivity and permeability in our case. Low loss metamaterials with simultaneously negative permittivity and permeability are desired for practical applications in many optical devices such as optical switching, waveguides, modulators, and plasmonic antenna arrays. The optical properties of the grown gold nanorods were defined by ultraviolet- visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy and their quality was assessed through multi-technique characterization using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and energy dispersed X-ray (EDX).

description: Biological evolution can be conceptualized as a search process in the space of gene sequences guided by the fitness landscape, a mapping that assigns a measure of reproductive value to each genotype. Here we discuss probabilistic models of fitness landscapes with a focus on their evolutionary accessibility, where a path in a fitness landscape is said to be accessible if the fitness values encountered along the path increase monotonically. For uncorrelated (random) landscapes with independent and identically distributed fitness values, the probability of existence of accessible paths between genotypes at a distance linear in the sequence length $L$ becomes nonzero at a nontrivial threshold value of the fitness difference between the initial and final genotype, which can be explicitly computed for large classes of genotype graphs. The behaviour in uncorrelated random landscapes is contrasted with landscape models that display additional, biologically motivated structural features. In particular, landscapes defined by a tradeoff between adaptation to environmental extremes have been found to display a combinatorially large number of accessible paths to all local fitness maxima. We show that this property is characteristic of a broad class of models that satisfy a certain global constraint, and provide further examples from this class.
