description: The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence aims to find evidence of technosignatures, which can point toward the possible existence of technologically advanced extraterrestrial life. Radio signals similar to those engineered on Earth may be transmitted by other civilizations, motivating technosignature searches across the entire radio spectrum. In this endeavor, the low-frequency radio band has remained largely unexplored; with prior radio searches primarily above 1 GHz. In this survey at 110-190 MHz, observations of 1,631,198 targets from TESS and Gaia are reported. Observations took place simultaneously with two international stations (noninterferometric) of the Low Frequency Array in Ireland and Sweden. We can reject the presence of any Doppler drifting narrowband transmissions in the barycentric frame of reference, with equivalent isotropic radiated power of 10 17 W, for 0.4 million (or 1.3 million) stellar systems at 110 (or 190) MHz. This work demonstrates the effectiveness of using multisite simultaneous observations for rejecting anthropogenic signals in the search for technosignatures.

description: Using SDSS-DR7, we construct a sample of 42382 galaxies with redshifts in the region of 20 galaxy clusters. Using two successive iterative methods, the adaptive kernel method and the spherical infall model, we obtained 3396 galaxies as members belonging to the studied sample. The 2D projected map for the distribution of the clusters members is introduced using the 2D adaptive kernel method to get the clusters centers. The cumulative surface number density profile for each cluster is fitted well with the generalized King model. The core radii of the clusters' sample are found to vary from 0.18 Mpc $\mbox{h}^{-1}$ (A1459) to 0.47 Mpc $\mbox{h}^{-1}$ (A2670) with mean value of 0.295 Mpc $\mbox{h}^{-1}$. The infall velocity profile is determined using two different models, Yahil approximation and Praton model. Yahil approximation is matched with the distribution of galaxies only in the outskirts (infall regions) of many clusters of the sample, while it is not matched with the distribution within the inner core of the clusters. Both Yahil approximation and Praton model are matched together in the infall region for about 9 clusters in the sample but they are completely unmatched for the clusters characterized by high central density. For these cluster, Yahil approximation is not matched with the distribution of galaxies, while Praton model can describe well the infall pattern of such clusters.

description: The capacity and stability of constituent electrodes determine the performance of Li-ion batteries. In this study, density functional theory is employed to explore the potential application of recently synthesized two dimensional phosphorene as electrode materials. Our results show that Li atoms can bind strongly with phosphorene monolayer and double layer with significant electron transfer. Besides, the structure of phosphorene is not much influenced by lithiation and the volume change is only 0.2\%. A semiconducting to metallic transition is observed after lithiation. The diffusion barrier is calculated to 0.76 and 0.72 eV on monolayer and double layer phosphorene. The theoretical specific capacity of phosphorene monolayer is 432.79 mAh/g, which is larger than other commercial anodes materials. Our findings show that the high capacity, low open circuit voltage, small volume change and electrical conductivity of phosphorene make it a good candidate as electrode material.

description: The observation of lepton flavour violation (LFV) in interactions involving charged leptons would be an unambiguous sign of physics beyond the Standard Model of particle physics. Given that muons can be produced at high intensities, searches for LFV with muons are particularly sensitive. In a global initiative, ongoing and upcoming experiments are aiming to discover physics beyond the Standard Model in the three golden muon LFV channels: $μ\to eγ$, $μ\to eee$ and $μ$-to-$e$ conversion on nuclei. With innovative detector concepts and new muon beam lines, these experiments will be able to investigate muon LFV in the coming years with sensitivities improved by up to four orders of magnitude compared to past searches. The current status of muon LFV searches is discussed and the ongoing MEG II and DeeMe experiments as well as the upcoming Mu2e, COMET and Mu3e experiments are presented.

description: Our objective for this study was to examine the feasibility of instituting environmental changes during a 6-week pilot in school foodservice programs, with long-term goals of improving dietary quality and preventing obesity and type 2 diabetes in youth. Participants included students and staff from six middle schools in three states. Formative assessment with students and school staff was conducted in the spring of 2003 to inform the development of school foodservice policy changes. Thirteen potential policy goals were delineated. These formed the basis for the environmental change pilot intervention implemented during the winter/spring of 2004. Questionnaires were used to assess the extent to which the 13 foodservice goals were achieved. Success was defined as achieving 75% of goals not met at baseline. Daily data were collected on goal achievement using the schools’ daily food production and sales records. Qualitative data were also collected after the pilot study to obtain feedback from students and staff. Formative research with staff and students identified potential environmental changes. Most schools made substantial changes in the National School Lunch Program meal and snack bar/a la carte offerings. Vending goals were least likely to be achieved. Only one school did not meet the 75% goal achievement objective. Based on the objective data as well as qualitative feedback from student focus groups and interviews with students and school staff, healthful school foodservice changes in the cafeteria and snack bar can be implemented and were acceptable to the staff and students. Implementing longer-term and more ambitious changes and assessing cost issues and the potential enduring impact of these changes on student dietary change and disease risk reduction merits investigation.

description: Nowadays the technological progress allows us to have highly flexible solutions, easily accessible with lower levels of investment, which leads to many companies adopting SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) to support their business processes. Associated with this movement and considering the advantages of SaaS, it is important to understand whether work is being developed that is underutilized because companies are not taking advantage of it, and in this case it is necessary to understand the reasons thereof. This knowledge is important even for people who do not use or do not develop/provide SaaS, since sooner or later it will be unavoidable due to current trends. In the near future, nearly all decision-makers of IT strategies will be forced to consider adopting SaaS as an IT solution for the convenience benefits associated with technology or market competition. At that time they will have to know how to evaluate impacts and decide. Often, decision-makers of business strategies consider only the attractive incentives of using SaaS ignoring the impacts associated with new technologies. The need for tools and processes to assess these impacts before adopting a SaaS solution is crucial to ensure the sustainability of the information system, reduce uncertainty and facilitate decision making. This article presents a framework for evaluating impacts of SaaS called SIE (SaaS Impact Evaluation) which in addition to guidance for the present research, aims to provide guidelines for the collection, data analysis, impact assessment and decision making about including SaaS on the organizations strategic plans.

description: Interpretability is often an essential requirement in medical imaging. Advanced deep learning methods are required to address this need for explainability and high performance. In this work, we investigate whether additional information available during the training process can be used to create an understandable and powerful model. We propose an innovative solution called Proto-Caps that leverages the benefits of capsule networks, prototype learning and the use of privileged information. Evaluating the proposed solution on the LIDC-IDRI dataset shows that it combines increased interpretability with above state-of-the-art prediction performance. Compared to the explainable baseline model, our method achieves more than 6 % higher accuracy in predicting both malignancy (93.0 %) and mean characteristic features of lung nodules. Simultaneously, the model provides case-based reasoning with prototype representations that allow visual validation of radiologist-defined attributes.

description: A method is presented to precisely reconstruct charge spectra with pixel detectors using binary hit information of individual pixels. The method is independent of the charge information provided by the readout circuitry and has a resolution mainly limited by the electronic noise. It relies on the ability to change the detection threshold in small steps while counting hits from a particle source. The errors are addressed and the performance of the method is shown based on measurements with the ATLAS pixel chip FE-I4 bump bonded to a 230 μm 3D-silicon sensor. Charge spectra from radioactive sources and from electron beams are presented serving as examples. It is demonstrated that a charge resolution (σ<200 e) close to the electronic noise of the ATLAS FE-I4 pixel chip can be achieved.

description: We assessed the impact of a pilot middle school a la carte intervention on food and beverage purchases, kilocalories, fat, carbohydrate, and protein sold per student, and nutrient density of the foods sold. A la carte sales were obtained from six middle schools in three states for 1 baseline week and daily during the 6-week intervention. Intervention goals included reducing sizes of sweetened beverages and chips, and increasing the availability of water and reduced-fat/baked chips. Nutrients sold per day were computed and weekly nutrient means per student and per number of items sold were calculated and compared between baseline and week 6. Five schools achieved all goals at 6 weeks. Four schools showed increases in the percentage of kilocalories from protein and decreases in the amount of sweetened beverages sold; five showed substantial increases in water sales. Changes in regular chips varied by school. There were significant changes in energy density of foods sold. School foodservice changes in middle school snack bar/a la carte lines can be implemented and can lead to a reduction in the caloric density of foods purchased.

description: The energy levels of the first few low-lying states of carbon in intense magnetic fields upwards of $\approx 10^7$ T are calculated in this study. We extend our previously employed pseudospectral approach for calculating the eigenstates of the carbon atom. We report data for the ground state and a low-lying state that are in good agreement with findings elsewhere, as well as new data for ten other states of the carbon atom that have not been investigated until now. It is seen that these hitherto uninvestigated states also become strongly bound with increasing magnetic field strengths. The data presented in this study are relevant for astrophysical applications, such as magnetized white dwarf and neutron star spectral analysis as well as opacity calculations and absorption features, including in the context of material accreting onto the surfaces of these compact objects.

description: The article presents the teaching experience of the discipline ‘Normal Physiology’ to foreign students of VSMU N.N. Burdenko. The issues of working with English-speaking students of IIMEC Faculty studying Normal Physiology from the first year of the university are considered. The practice of working with foreign students indicates that a significant part of the time is needed for foreign citizens to adapt within an unfamiliar country. Stress caused by the new living environment, the mentality of the host country, new eating habits and other changes in the life of students leaves a serious imprint on their academic performance, especially in the first years of the study at the university. It is necessary to take into account the occurrence of such distress reactions in order to find the optimal management of the educational process. Foreign students are often characterized by different levels of English language proficiency and general training in common. All this sometimes makes it difficult for them to study and leads to the appearance of academic debt. In this article, we are focused on the issues of finding measures that can be aimed at facilitating the process of adaptation of students to a new learning environment when studying the discipline ‘Normal Physiology’.

description: We present efficient and accurate numerical methods for computing the ground state and dynamics of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE) with nonlocal interactions based on a fast and accurate evaluation of the long-range interactions via the nonuniform fast Fourier transform (NUFFT). We begin with a review of the fast and accurate NUFFT based method in \cite{JGB} for nonlocal interactions where the singularity of the Fourier symbol of the interaction kernel at the origin can be canceled by switching to spherical or polar coordinates. We then extend the method to compute other nonlocal interactions whose Fourier symbols have stronger singularity at the origin that cannot be canceled by the coordinate transform. Many of these interactions do not decay at infinity in the physical space, which adds another layer of complexity since it is more difficult to impose the correct artificial boundary conditions for the truncated bounded computational domain. The performance of our method against other existing methods is illustrated numerically, with particular attention on the effect of the size of the computational domain in the physical space. Finally, to study the ground state and dynamics of the NLSE, we propose efficient and accurate numerical methods by combining the NUFFT method for potential evaluation with the normalized gradient flow using backward Euler Fourier pseudospectral discretization and time-splitting Fourier pseudospectral method, respectively. Extensive numerical comparisons are carried out between these methods and other existing methods for computing the ground state and dynamics of the NLSE with various nonlocal interactions. Numerical results show that our scheme performs much better than those existing methods in terms of both accuracy and efficiency.

description: In traditional cognitive radio networks, secondary users (SUs) typically access the spectrum of primary users (PUs) by a two-stage "listen-before-talk" (LBT) protocol, i.e., SUs sense the spectrum holes in the first stage before transmit in the second stage. In this paper, we propose a novel "listen-and-talk" (LAT) protocol with the help of the full-duplex (FD) technique that allows SUs to simultaneously sense and access the vacant spectrum. Analysis of sensing performance and SU's throughput are given for the proposed LAT protocol. And we find that due to self-interference caused by FD, increasing transmitting power of SUs does not always benefit to SU's throughput, which implies the existence of a power-throughput tradeoff. Besides, though the LAT protocol suffers from self-interference, it allows longer transmission time, while the performance of the traditional LBT protocol is limited by channel spatial correction and relatively shorter transmission period. To this end, we also present an adaptive scheme to improve SUs' throughput by switching between the LAT and LBT protocols. Numerical results are provided to verify the proposed methods and the theoretical results.

description: Neutrino astronomy experiments like KM3NeT allow to survey the Universe leveraging the properties of neutrinos of being electrically neutral and weakly interacting particles, making them a suitable messenger. Observing neutrino emission in association with electromagnetic radiation allows evaluating models for the acceleration of particles occurring in high energy sources such as Supernovae or Active Galactic Nuclei. This is the main goal of the ARCA project in KM3NeT. In addition, KM3NeT has a program for lower energy neutrinos called ORCA, aimed at distinguishing between the scenarios of “normal hierarchy” and “inverted hierarchy” for neutrino mass eigenstates. The KM3NeT Collaboration is currently building a network of three Cherenkov telescopes in the Mediterranean sea, in deep water off the coasts of Capopassero, Italy; Toulon, France, and Pylos, Greece. The water overburden shields the detectors from down-going charged particles produced by the interactions of cosmic rays in the atmosphere, while up-going neutrinos that cross the Earth are the target of the observation. Cosmic rays are a background to the KM3NeT signal, usually discarded by directional information. Nevertheless, they provide a reliable reference to calibrate the detector and work out its effective operating parameters, namely direction and energy of the incoming particles. Estimation of tracking capabilities is directly connected to the evaluation of the ability of the experiment to detect astrophysical point-like sources, i.e. its discovery potential. Being able to distinguish among the three neutrino flavours, or between neutrinos and muons, as well as estimating the neutrino direction and energy, are the main goals of such experiments. Trigger and reconstruction algorithms are designed to separate the signal from background and to provide an estimation for the above mentioned quantities, respectively... [edited by Author]

description: Most modern agent-based evacuation models involve interactions between evacuees. However, the assumed reasons for interactions and portrayal of them may be overly simple. Research from social psychology suggests that people interact and communicate with one another when evacuating and evacuee response is impacted by the way information is communicated. Thus, we conducted a systematic review of agent-based evacuation models to identify 1) how social interactions and communication approaches between agents are simulated, and 2) what key variables related to evacuation are addressed in these models. We searched Web of Science and ScienceDirect to identify articles that simulated information exchange between agents during evacuations, and social behaviour during evacuations. From the final 70 included articles, we categorised eight types of social interaction that increased in social complexity from collision avoidance to social influence based on strength of social connections with other agents. In the 17 models which simulated communication, we categorised four ways that agents communicate information: spatially through information trails or radii around agents, via social networks and via external communication. Finally, the variables either manipulated or measured in the models were categorised into the following groups: environmental condition, personal attributes of the agents, procedure, and source of information. We discuss promising directions for agent-based evacuation models to capture the effects of communication and group dynamics on evacuee behaviour. Moreover, we demonstrate how communication and group dynamics may impact the variables commonly used in agent-based evacuation models.

description: African Americans experience household food insecurity—the limited availability of nutritionally adequate and safe food, or ability to acquire acceptable foods in socially acceptable ways—at three times the rate of non-Hispanic whites. Thirty percent of all African American children live in food insecurity households. The purpose of this study was to identify characteristics associated with household food insecurity among a high risk postpartum population. 206 low-income, African-American mother-infant dyads were recruited through WIC clinics. The six-item USDA food security scale was used to classify households as food secure, marginally food secure or food insecure. Multinomial logistic regression was used to estimate the association between selected maternal/household characteristics and household food security status. Fifty-three percent of households were food secure, 34% were marginally food secure and 13% were food insecure. Maternal education less than college (Relative Risk Ratio = 0.46, 95% Confidence Interval: 0.22, 0.98) was inversely associated with marginal food security. Depressive symptoms (RRR = 1.09, 95% CI: 1.02, 1.16) and having the baby’s father in the household (RRR = 3.46, 95% CI: 1.22, 9.82) were associated with household food insecurity, while having a grandmother in the household (RRR = 0.15, 95% CI: 0.03, 0.80) was inversely associated with experiencing household food insecurity. Findings from this study suggest that young low-income African American families with only one child are particularly susceptible to experiencing household food insecurity. Intergenerational support and transfer of knowledge may be a key protective attribute among low-income African American households.
Expanded calculation of weak-interaction mediated neutrino cooling rates due to $^{56}$Ni in stellar matter

description: Accurate estimate of the neutrino cooling rates is required in order to study the various stages of stellar evolution of massive stars. Neutrino losses from proto-neutron stars play a crucial role in deciding whether these stars would be crushed into black holes or explode as supernovae. Both pure leptonic and weak-interaction processes contribute to the neutrino energy losses in stellar matter. At low temperatures and densities, characteristic of the early phase of presupernova evolution, cooling through neutrinos produced via the weak-interaction is important. Proton-neutron quasi-particle random phase approximation (pn-QRPA) theory has recently being used for calculation of stellar weak-interaction rates of $fp$-shell nuclide with success. The lepton-to-baryon ratio ($Y_{e}$) during early phases of stellar evolution of massive stars changes substantially alone due to electron captures on $^{56}$Ni. The stellar matter is transparent to the neutrinos produced during the presupernova evolution of massive stars. These neutrinos escape the site and assist the stellar core in maintaining a lower entropy. Here I present the expanded calculation of weak-interaction mediated neutrino and antineutrino cooling rates due to $^{56}$Ni in stellar matter using the pn-QRPA theory. This detailed scale is appropriate for interpolation purposes and of greater utility for simulation codes. The calculated rates are compared against earlier calculations. During the relevant temperature and density regions of stellar matter the reported rates show little differences with the shell model rates and might contribute in fine-tuning of the lepton-to-baryon ratio during the presupernova phases of stellar evolution of massive stars.
