description: Stellar limb darkening is the observed variation in brightness of a star between its centre and edge (or limb) when viewed in the plane of the sky. Stellar brightness is maximal at the centre and then decreases radially and monotonically towards the limb -- hence the term "limb darkening". This effect is crucial for finding and characterising planets beyond our Solar System, known as exoplanets, as these planets are often studied when crossing in front of their host stars. As such, limb darkening is directly linked to the exoplanet signals. Limb darkening is typically modelled by one of various functional forms, as outlined in Claret (2000) and Sing (2010), and the coefficients of these functions is what ExoTiC-LD is designed to compute. A wide variety of functional forms are supported, including those benchmarked by Espinoza & Jordán (2016) as well as reparameterisations suggested by Kipping (2013).

description: Background Substantial amounts of data on cell signaling, metabolic, gene regulatory and other biological pathways have been accumulated in literature and electronic databases. Conventionally, this information is stored in the form of pathway diagrams and can be characterized as highly "compartmental" (i.e. individual pathways are not connected into more general networks). Current approaches for representing pathways are limited in their capacity to model molecular interactions in their spatial and temporal context. Moreover, the critical knowledge of cause-effect relationships among signaling events is not reflected by most conventional approaches for manipulating pathways. Results We have applied a semantic network (SN) approach to develop and implement a model for cell signaling pathways. The semantic model has mapped biological concepts to a set of semantic agents and relationships, and characterized cell signaling events and their participants in the hierarchical and spatial context. In particular, the available information on the behaviors and interactions of the PI3K enzyme family has been integrated into the SN environment and a cell signaling network in human macrophages has been constructed. A SN-application has been developed to manipulate the locations and the states of molecules and to observe their actions under different biological scenarios. The approach allowed qualitative simulation of cell signaling events involving PI3Ks and identified pathways of molecular interactions that led to known cellular responses as well as other potential responses during bacterial invasions in macrophages. Conclusions We concluded from our results that the semantic network is an effective method to model cell signaling pathways. The semantic model allows proper representation and integration of information on biological structures and their interactions at different levels. The reconstruction of the cell signaling network in the macrophage allowed detailed investigation of connections among various essential molecules and reflected the cause-effect relationships among signaling events. The simulation demonstrated the dynamics of the semantic network, where a change of states on a molecule can alter its function and potentially cause a chain-reaction effect in the system.
title: Evaluation of a push-and-pull strategy using volatiles of host and non-host plants for the management of pear psyllids in organic farming

description: Introduction: Pear decline (PD) is one of the most devastating diseases of Pyrus communis in Europe and North America. It is caused by the pathogen ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma pyri’ and transmitted by pear psyllids (Cacopsylla pyri, C. pyricola, and C. pyrisuga). Identifying attractant and repellent volatile organic compounds (VOCs) could improve the development of alternative plant protection measurements like push-pull or attract-and-kill strategies against pear psyllids. Our objective was to investigate which chemical cues of the host plant could influence the host-seeking behavior of pear psyllids, and if cedarwood (CWO) and cinnamon bark (CBO) essential oils could serve as repellents.
 
Results and discussion: Based on the literature, the five most abundant VOCs from pear plants elicited EAG responses in both C. pyri and C. pyrisuga psyllid species. In Y-olfactometer trials, single compounds were not attractive to C. pyri. However, the main compound mixture was attractive to C. pyri and C. pyrisuga females. CWO and CBO were repellent against C. pyri, and when formulated into nanofibers (NF), both were repellent in olfactometer trials. However, CBO nanoformulation was ineffective in masking the odors of pear plants. In a field trial, attractive, repellent CWO and blank formulated NF were inserted in attractive green sticky traps. C. pyri captures in traps with CWO NF were statistically lower than in traps with the attractive mixture. Nevertheless, no statistical differences in the numbers of caught specimens were observed between CWO NF and those captured in green traps baited with blank NF. Transparent traps captured fewer psyllids than green ones. In a second field study with a completed different design (push-and-count design), dispensers filled with CBO were distributed within the plantation, and attractive green sticky traps were placed around the plantation. The numbers of trapped pear psyllids increased significantly in the border of the treated plantation, showing that psyllids were repelled by the EOs in the plantation. Although further field evaluation is needed to assess and improve their effectiveness, our results show that these aromatic compounds, repellent or attractive both in nanoformulations and marking pen dispensers, offer great potential as an environmentally sustainable alternative to currently applied methods for managing pear decline vectors.
Self-testing of multiple unsharpness parameters through sequential violations of non-contextual inequality

description: The self-testing protocols refer to novel device-independent certification schemes wherein the devices are uncharacterised, and the dimension of the system remains unspecified. The optimal quantum violation of a Bell's inequality facilitates such self-testing. In this work, we put forth a protocol for self-testing of noisy quantum instruments, specifically, the unsharpness parameter of smeared projective measurements in any arbitrary dimension. Our protocol hinges on the sequential quantum violations of a bipartite Bell-type preparation non-contextual inequality, involving three measurement settings per party. First, we demonstrate that at most three sequential independent Bobs manifest simultaneous preparation contextuality with a single Alice through the violation of this inequality. Subsequently, we show that the sub-optimal sequential quantum violations of the non-contextual inequality form an optimal set, eventually enabling the self-testing of shared state, local measurements and unsharpness parameters of one party. Notably, we derive the optimal set of quantum violations without specifying the dimension of the quantum system, thereby circumventing the constraint that may arise due to Naimark's theorem. Furthermore, we extend our investigation to quantify the degree of incompatible measurements pertaining to the sequential observers, exploring how variations in the degree of incompatibility impact the values of unsharp parameters necessary for sequential quantum violation.

description: Background: With effective treatment strategies, the focus of tuberculosis (TB) management has shifted from the prevention of mortality to the avoidance of morbidity. As such, there should be an increased focus on quality of life (QoL) experienced by individuals being treated for TB. The objective of our study was to identify areas of QoL that are affected by active TB using focus groups and individual interviews. Methods: English, Cantonese, and Punjabi-speaking subjects with active TB who were receiving treatment were eligible for recruitment into the study. Gender-based focus group sessions were conducted for the inner city participants but individual interviews were conducted for those who came to the main TB clinic or were hospitalized. Facilitators used open-ended questions and participants were asked to discuss their experiences of being diagnosed with tuberculosis, what impact it had on their lives, issues around adherence to anti-TB medications and information pertaining to their experience with side effects to these medications. All data were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed using constant comparative analysis. Results: 39 patients with active TB participated. The mean age was 46.2 years (SD 18.4) and 62% were male. Most were Canadian-born being either Caucasian or Aboriginal. Four themes emerged from the focus groups and interviews. The first describes issues related to the diagnosis of tuberculosis and sub-themes were identified as 'symptoms', 'health care provision', and 'emotional impact'. The second theme discusses TB medication factors and the sub-themes identified were 'adverse effects', 'ease of administration', and 'adherence'. The third theme describes social support and functioning issues for the individuals with TB. The fourth theme describes health behavior issues for the individuals with TB and the identified sub-themes were "behavior modification" and "TB knowledge." Conclusion: Despite the ability to cure TB, there remains a significant impact on QOL. Since much attention is spent on preventative or curative mechanisms, the impact of this condition on QoL is often not considered. Attention to the issues experienced by patients being treated for TB may optimize adherence and treatment success.

On Conversations about Architecture and Philosophy, with Kenneth Frampton

description: I met Kenneth Frampton on April 30, 2023, during his last week in the United States before moving back to London. He’d come from his home in Hudson down to New York City for two days of last-minute engagements, among which our dinner in Midtown Manhattan. The reason for our meeting was one that he felt important enough to carve out some time in his schedule: a conversation about philosophy.

In the months that followed, we exchanged several e-mails and letters. We started by reviewing an edited transcript of our  discussion, to which I added new questions. He responded with edits and new comments, before deciding to completely rewrite his replies in a more rigorous manner. In turn, I redid my remarks, to which he then reacted, and so on throughout a year-long back-and-forth. The result was a simple rendition of an otherwise layered compilation, of his responses to my remarks to his recollections prompted by my questions. Together, they offer a record of the impact that several philosophical ideas exerted in Kenneth Frampton’s work throughout the years, as well as of how he dealt with them, what he thinks of their importance for architectural discourse, and what new sources he’s looking into as he continues to think about architecture.

Recently, researchers have started focusing on searching for all other sources within the field observed, including the vast population of background galaxies. Toward a population of galaxies in the background toward the Vela supernova remnant, we search for technosignatures, spectral and temporal features consistent with our understanding of technology. We set transmitter power limits for the detection of signals in a population of over 1,300 galaxies within a single field of view observed with the Murchison Widefield Array.

description: Therapeutics Letter 53 considers whether the Product Monographs for rofecoxib and the other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs marketed as COX-2 selective NSAID’s adequately inform clinicians about the benefits and harms of these drugs. Conclusions: Product monographs sometimes provide data about drug harms including serious adverse events that is not published elsewhere; represent a challenge in finding, extracting and interpreting the relevant information; do not adequately inform clinicians. Celecoxib, meloxicam and valdecoxib 2004 monographs do not claim to improve arthritis symptoms better than non-selective NSAIDs; do not warn against prescribing to patients with a history of peptic ulcer disease; do not claim to reduce complicated ulcers as compared with non-selective NSAIDs; provide insufficient information as to whether or not these drugs increase myocardial infarction or total cardiovascular thrombotic events.

description: Cornelian cherry (Cornus mas L.) is still not a very popular fruit plant in Poland. Fruit growers have been recently increasingly interested in the cultivation of plants with fruits that can be widely used in processing. Fruits of Cornelian cherry can be eaten raw, and processed in various ways: for tinctures, juices, jams, silage, candied, etc. Both the fruits and preserves are characterised by high pro-health properties due to the content of vitamins, anthocyanins, and loganic acid. Cornus mas adapts well to the climate and soil conditions in Poland. The only limitation of its broader cultivation is lack of good planting material. The experiment investigated the efficiency of budding on two-year-old seedlings (Cornus mas L.) of several cultivars and genotypes of Cornelian cherry. Moreover, the height of plants, stem diameter, average number of shoots, number of leaves on selected shoots, and quality of roots were determined. The cornelian cherry maidens obtained by budding with dormant bud in August on two-year-old seedlings of Cornelian cherry (Cornus mas L.) constitutes high quality material suitable for establishing commercial plantations. Maiden trees of particular cultivars and genotypes of cornelian cherry significantly differ in height, diameter, number of branches and leaves, as well as the size of the root system. The diameter of the trunk is a good indicator of the quality of Cornelian cherry maiden, because it is closely positively correlated with the height of plants and the number of shoots.

description: Many Canadian cities are experiencing ongoing infectious disease and overdose epidemics among injection drug users (IDUs). In particular, Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and hepatitis C Virus (HCV) have become endemic in many settings and bacterial and viral infections, such as endocarditis and cellulitis, have become extremely common among this population. In an effort to reduce these public health concerns and the public order problems associated with public injection drug use, in September 2003, Vancouver, Canada opened a pilot medically supervised safer injecting facility (SIF), where IDUs can inject pre-obtained illicit drugs under the supervision of medical staff. The SIF was granted a legal exemption to operate on the condition that its impacts be rigorously evaluated. In order to ensure that the evaluation is appropriately open to scrutiny among the public health community, the present article was prepared to outline the methodology for evaluating the SIF and report on some preliminary observations. The evaluation is primarily structured around a prospective cohort of SIF users, that will examine risk behavior, blood-borne infection transmission, overdose, and health service use. These analyses will be augmented with process data from within the SIF, as well as survey's of local residents and qualitative interviews with users, staff, and key stakeholders, and standardised evaluations of public order changes. Preliminary observations suggest that the site has been successful in attracting IDUs into its programs and in turn helped to reduce public drug use. However, each of the indicators described above is the subject of a rigorous scientific evaluation that is attempting to quantify the overall impacts of the site and identify both benefits and potentially harmful consequences and it will take several years before the SIF's impacts can be appropriately examined.

description: Background: Biologically variable ventilation (return of physiological variability in rate and tidal volume using a computer-controller) was compared to control mode ventilation with and without a recruitment manoeuvre – 40 cm H2O for 40 sec performed hourly; in a porcine oleic acid acute lung injury model. Methods: We compared gas exchange, respiratory mechanics, and measured bronchoalveolar fluid for inflammatory cytokines, cell counts and surfactant function. Lung injury was scored by light microscopy. Pigs received mechanical ventilation (FIO2 = 0.3; PEEP 5 cm H2O) in control mode until PaO2 decreased to 60 mm Hg with oleic acid infusion (PaO2/FIO2 <200 mm Hg). Additional PEEP to 10 cm H2O was added after injury. Animals were randomized to one of the 3 modes of ventilation and followed for 5 hr after injury. Results: PaO2 and respiratory system compliance was significantly greater with biologically variable ventilation compared to the other 2 groups. Mean and mean peak airway pressures were also lower. There were no differences in cell counts in bronchoalveolar fluid by flow cytometry, or interleukin-8 and -10 levels between groups. Lung injury scoring revealed no difference between groups in the regions examined. No differences in surfactant function were seen between groups by capillary surfactometry. Conclusions: In this porcine model of acute lung injury, various indices to measure injury or inflammation did not differ between the 3 approaches to ventilation. However, when using a low tidal volume strategy with moderate levels of PEEP, sustained improvements in arterial oxygen tension and respiratory system compliance were only seen with BVV when compared to CMV or CMV with a recruitment manoeuvre.

description: Abstract

The Arecaceae family also known as Palmae, is a large group of plants belonging to the Arecales order. This research involved an anatomical study of transverse sections of roots from various species within the Arecaceae family. Anatomical studies were done through light and scanning electron microscope. Different anatomical features Epidermis cells thickness, cortex layers, cortex thickness, rhizodermis thickness, air spaces, vascular cylinder diameter, xylem, diameter of metaxylem, maximum length of phloem and pith diameter were examined. The epidermis cells thickness ranges from 17-61 µm. The cortex thickness ranges from 400-1040 µm. Rhizodermis thickness ranged between 13-35 µm. The maximum pith diameter observed was almost 820-990 µm in Nannorrhops ritchiana (Griff.) Aitch. Air spces ranged between 13-31 µm. Maximum length of phloem was seen in Dypsis lutescens (H.Wendl.) Beentje & J.Dransf. Dimeter of metaxylem ranged between 21-108 µm. In conclusion, the root transverse section cutting features exhibited significant variations, allowing for the differentiation of plants within the Arecaceae family. This is the first reported study on root section cutting of family Arecaceae species.
title: The association between diet quality and mental health of university students
title: A cross-sectional study
titleType: Subtitle
Creators: name: Solomou, Solomis
Publisher: name: Lancaster University
Year: 2024

description: Background:

 University students are at risk of experiencing mental health problems
 during the transition from home to university. This transition can also
 adversely affect their diet quality. There is a research gap in terms of
 understanding the relationship between diet quality and mental health of
 university

 students during their transition to universities in the UK.

 Aim:

 This study aimed to examine the bidirectional associations regarding the
 influence of diet quality on the mental health of university students, and
 vice versa. It also aimed to examine the impact of the transition to
 university on diet quality and mental health of university students.

 Methods:

 The study adopted a cross-sectional design. The study took place during
 the first semester of the academic year 2021-2022. Participants were first
 year undergraduate students at Lancaster

 University, University College London (UCL), Queen Mary University London
 (QMUL), and King’s College London (KCL) living at student halls
 (university or private) for the first time. They were invited to
 participate by completing an online survey including a food frequency
 questionnaire, a mental health questionnaire, and a transition to
 university questionnaire.

 Findings:

 During the transition to university, a healthy diet of students was
 associated with better mental health in terms of depression, anxiety, and
 stress. Mental health issues experienced by university students were also
 associated with an unhealthy diet. A good quality of transition to
 university was associated

 with good mental health of students.

 Conclusion:

 There are implications for university policies and for health education
 research, as interventions to

 improve diet quality at the university level could reduce mental health
 issues; additionally,

 interventions to support students under stress may lead to healthier
 dietary habits when living on

 campuses. Further research including quasi-experimental studies,
 qualitative studies, longitudinal

 studies and intervention studies are needed to further investigate these
 implications

description: We study the evolution of $K^π=6^{+}$ and $8^{-}$ two-quasiparticle (q.p.) configurations in the isotopic and isotonic chains of even-even deformed nuclei around $^{178}$Hf and their ability to describe series of observed $K$-isomer excitations within the framework of a Skyrme Hartree--Fock--BCS (SHFBCS) approach using SIII interaction and seniority pairing strengths with self-consistent blocking. We apply the approach along the prescription in [Phys. Rev. C {\bf 105}, 044329 (2022)] used to describe $K$-isomers in the actinide and transfermium mass regions. The calculations allow us to identify the regions where proton or neutron configurations or their mixture may be responsible for the $K$-isomer formation. The obtained results provide a detailed test for the Skyrme SIII interaction used and outline the limits of applicability of the overall SHFBCS approach in the regions of well deformed nuclei. The study suggests that similar systematic analysis can be implemented in the heavier mass regions whenever enough data are available.

Language learning is even more important for visually impaired people, in order to reduce the gap caused by lack of sight or from severe visual impairment. Visual impairment affects every sphere of human life, both as an individual and as a member of a community. Visual impairment affects all domains of human activities, including communication, mobility, human relationships. This is still truer in our society, dominated by image and rapidity. Mastering a foreign language, in particular English thus becomes a sort of “bridge” through which the visually impaired person can have access to different cultures and to different opportunities in the domain of social contacts. The word, in the case of the visually impaired person, has a much greater importance than by sighted people, because speech is the only communication modality for human relationships. Body language, movie, image communication have to be translated into spoken or written words, in order to be grasped also by the visually impaired.

description: Background: There is little information in the research literature on how parents of children who spend time in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) adapt psychologically to the demands of caregiving beyond the initial hospitalization period. Our aim was to compare parents of NICU children with parents of healthy full-term children, looking specifically at the relationship between parental psychosocial health and child characteristics, as well as the relationship between important predictor variables and psychosocial health. Methods A cross-sectional survey was sent to parents as their child turned 3 1/2 years of age. The setting was the province of British Columbia, Canada. The sample included all babies admitted to tertiary level neonatal intensive care units (NICU) at birth over a 16-month period, and a consecutive sample of healthy babies. The main outcome was the SF-36 mental component summary (MCS) score. Predictor variables included caregiver gender; caregiver age; marital status; parental education; annual household income; child health status; child behavior; birth-related risk factors; caregiver strain; and family function. Results Psychosocial health of NICU parents did not differ from parents of healthy children. Child health status and behavior for NICU and healthy children were strongly related to MCS score in bivariate analysis. In the pooled multivariate model, parental age, low family function, high caregiver strain, and child's internalizing and externalizing behavioral symptoms were independently associated with lower psychosocial health. In addition, female gender was associated with lower psychosocial health in the NICU group, whereas lower education and child's problem with quality of life indicated lower psychosocial health in the healthy baby group. Conclusions Overall, parental gender, family functioning and caregiver strain played influential roles in parental psychosocial health.

Likelihood Scouting Via Map Inversion For A Posterior-Sampled Particle Filter

description: An exploit of the Sequential Importance Sampling (SIS) algorithm using Differential Algebra (DA) techniques is derived to develop an efficient particle filter. The filter creates an original kind of particles, called scout particles, that bring information from the measurement noise onto the state prior probability density function. Thanks to the creation of high-order polynomial maps and their inversions, the scouting of the measurements helps the SIS algorithm identify the region of the prior more affected by the likelihood distribution. The result of the technique is two different versions of the proposed Scout Particle Filter (SPF), which identifies and delimits the region where the true posterior probability has high density in the SIS algorithm. Four different numerical applications show the benefits of the methodology both in terms of accuracy and efficiency, where the SPF is compared to other particle filters, with a particular focus on target tracking and orbit determination problems.

description: One promising way to enhance superconductivity is to have coexisting wide and incipient narrow bands, where the Fermi level intersecting the wide band lies just above the narrow band, by which finite-energy spin fluctuations act as glue to mediate pair scattering. As an extreme case of the narrow band dispersion, we investigate spin-fluctuation-mediated superconductivity in two-dimensional Hubbard models with an incipient flat band. For all of the systems investigated in this study, the Kagome, Lieb, and bilayer square lattices with a flat band, we find that spin-singlet pairing superconductivity is enhanced when the flat band is nearly fully filled, due to the interband pair scattering even when the flat band becomes dispersive by correlation effects. Among these models, enhancement of superconductivity is weak in the Lieb lattice, possibly because the density of states of the wide band goes to zero at the Dirac point where the flat and wide bands intersect. Also, when the electron density is smaller so that the flat band approaches half filling, ferromagnetic spin fluctuations and spin-triplet pairing arises, which does not develop strongly compared to the case of the spin-singlet pairing for the incipient band situation.

description: The widespread application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques has significantly influenced the development of new therapeutic agents. These computational methods can be used to design and predict the properties of generated molecules. Multi-target Drug Discovery (MTDD) is an emerging paradigm for discovering drugs against complex disorders that do not respond well to more traditional target-specific treatments, such as central nervous system, immune system, and cardiovascular diseases. Still, there is yet to be an established benchmark suite for assessing the effectiveness of AI tools for designing multi-target compounds. Standardized benchmarks allow for comparing existing techniques and promote rapid research progress. Hence, this work proposes an evaluation framework for molecule generation techniques in MTDD scenarios, considering brain diseases as a case study. Our methodology involves using large language models to select the appropriate molecular targets, gathering and preprocessing the bioassay datasets, training quantitative structure-activity relationship models to predict target modulation, and assessing other essential drug-likeness properties for implementing the benchmarks. Additionally, this work will assess the performance of four deep generative models and evolutionary algorithms over our benchmark suite. In our findings, both evolutionary algorithms and generative models can achieve competitive results across the proposed benchmarks.

description: This study exploits changes in the catchment areas of public schools in Vancouver, British Columbia to measure the house price capitalization of school quality. Using repeat sales methods to control for time invariant neighborhood effects and disaggregated price indexes to capture time-varying neighborhood price appreciation, we identify significant effects of secondary school performance on residential prices. These effects are limited to homes that experienced large changes in school quality. Our results imply that the prices of residences experiencing the largest improvement in secondary school quality due to the boundary change rose by roughly 4 percent, equivalent to $14,000 for the median home in that area.
