description: Many applications of machine learning methods involve an iterative protocol in which data are collected, a model is trained, and then outputs of that model are used to choose what data to consider next. For example, one data-driven approach for designing proteins is to train a regression model to predict the fitness of protein sequences, then use it to propose new sequences believed to exhibit greater fitness than observed in the training data. Since validating designed sequences in the wet lab is typically costly, it is important to quantify the uncertainty in the model's predictions. This is challenging because of a characteristic type of distribution shift between the training and test data in the design setting -- one in which the training and test data are statistically dependent, as the latter is chosen based on the former. Consequently, the model's error on the test data -- that is, the designed sequences -- has an unknown and possibly complex relationship with its error on the training data. We introduce a method to quantify predictive uncertainty in such settings. We do so by constructing confidence sets for predictions that account for the dependence between the training and test data. The confidence sets we construct have finite-sample guarantees that hold for any prediction algorithm, even when a trained model chooses the test-time input distribution. As a motivating use case, we demonstrate with several real data sets how our method quantifies uncertainty for the predicted fitness of designed proteins, and can therefore be used to select design algorithms that achieve acceptable trade-offs between high predicted fitness and low predictive uncertainty.

description: Lowering blood glucose is important to prevent long-term microvascular complications in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Various evidence suggests that sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are beneficial for microvascular diseases. This study was designed to investigate whether SGLT2 inhibitors have an effect on eye disorders. We searched PubMed, Web of Science, and ClinicalTrials.gov for randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials with at least 24 weeks of follow-up up to 20 December 2023. Mantel-Haenszel statistical method, risk ratios (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to analyze the binary variables. We included a total of 40 studies covering 104,586 participants. T2DM was present in 84.5% of the subjects. SGLT2 inhibitors had no significant effect on overall eye events compared to placebo (RR 0.99; 95%CI 0.86–1.15; p = 0.91), nor did subgroup analysis. We did not observe significant heterogeneity (I2 = 0; p = 0.99). Analysis of all secondary outcomes showed that SGLT2 inhibitors did not cause a significantly different effect from placebo. Meta-analysis in the entire T2DM population showed results consistent with those in the overall population. SGLT2 inhibitors did not have a significant effect on eye disorders during treatment, regardless of baseline conditions and duration of treatment.

How collaborative preservation works
Creators: name: Altman, Micah
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2010

description: The Data-PASS partnership engages in collaboration at three levels: coordinated operations, development of best practices, and creation and use of open-source shared infrastructure. The first talk in the session provides an update on our search for replication and distributed storage technologies for preservation. Systems like iRODS and LOCKSS can be developed into preservation environments for social science data archives. The key when implementing these preservation environments will be the modification of existing archive policies and procedures to reflect new dependence on collaboration. The second talk discusses the collection of international public opinion data collected by the USIA, which began in 1952 and extended through 1999. Until recently, these data were difficult to access. The Roper Center and the National Archives and Records Administration have identified, rescued, and made these data available to the research community. The third talk describes a new alliance between ICPSR and Institutional Repositories (IRs) with the goal of preserving and re-using social science data. This talk focuses on the formation of these partnerships; how an archiving guide for IRs will be developed; and new services that ICPSR can offer to IRs to assist with social science data. The fourth talk summarizes the efforts of ICPSR and the Roper Center to migrate punched card data to modern preservation formats. This presentation focuses on the recovery of the Cornell Retirement Study, a longitudinal study that began in 1952. The final talk discusses the current collaborative structure of Data-PASS, our agreements, infrastructure, and the services and infrastructure available to new partners.
New Predictions for Multiquark Hadron Masses

description: The recent reported charmed-strange resonance at 2.32 GeV/c suggests a possible multiquark state. Three types of multiquark bound states are reviewed. A previous model-independent variational approach considers a tetraquark with two heavy antiquarks and two light quarks as a heavy antidiquark with the color field of a quark bound to the two light quarks with a wave function like that of a heavy baryon. Results indicate that a charmed-strange tetraquark $\bar c \bar s u d$ or a bottom-strange tetraquark $\bar b \bar s u d$ with this "diquark-heavy-baryion" wave function is not bound, in contrast to "molecular-type" $D-K$ and $B-K$ wave functions. However, a charmed-bottom tetraquark $\bar c \bar b u d$ might be bound with a very narrow weak decay mode. A "molecular-type" $D-B$ state can have an interesting $B_c π$ decay with a high energy pion,

A new mass-loss rate prescription for red supergiants

description: Evolutionary models have shown the substantial effect that strong mass-loss rates ($\dot{M}$) can have on the fate of massive stars. Red supergiant (RSG) mass-loss is poorly understood theoretically, and so stellar models rely on purely empirical \mdot-luminosity relations to calculate evolution. Empirical prescriptions usually scale with luminosity and effective temperature, but $\dot{M}$ should also depend on the current mass and hence the surface gravity of the star, yielding more than one possible $\dot{M}$ for the same position on the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram. One can solve this degeneracy by measuring $\dot{M}$ for RSGs that reside in clusters, where age and initial mass ($M_{\rm init}$) are known. In this paper we derive $\dot{M}$ values and luminosities for RSGs in two clusters, NGC 2004 and RSGC1. Using newly derived $M_{\rm init}$ measurements, we combine the results with those of clusters with a range of ages and derive an $M_{\rm init}$-dependent $\dot{M}$-prescription. When comparing this new prescription to the treatment of mass-loss currently implemented in evolutionary models, we find models drastically over-predict the total mass-loss, by up to a factor of 20. Importantly, the most massive RSGs experience the largest downward revision in their mass-loss rates, drastically changing the impact of wind mass-loss on their evolution. Our results suggest that for most initial masses of RSG progenitors, quiescent mass-loss during the RSG phase is not effective at removing a significant fraction of the H-envelope prior to core-collapse, and we discuss the implications of this for stellar evolution and observations of SNe and SN progenitors.

description: The discovery by the BeppoSAX satellite of X-ray afterglow emission from the gamma-ray burst which occurred on 28 February 1997 produced a revolution in our knowledge of the gamma-ray burst phenomenon. Along with the discovery of X-ray afterglows, the optical afterglows of gamma-ray bursts were discovered and the distance issue was settled, at least for long $γ$-ray bursts. The 30 year mystery of the gamma-ray burst phenomenon is now on the way to solution. Here I rewiew the observational status of the X-ray afterglow emission, its mean properties (detection rate, continuum spectra, line features, and light curves), and the X-ray constraints on theoretical models of gamma-ray bursters and their progenitors. I also discuss the early onset afterglow emission, the remaining questions, and the role of future X-ray afterglow observations.

description: This paper will discuss the findings of the RIN-funded Case Studies in Life Sciences project, undertaken by a team of social scientists and information specialists from the Institute for the Study of Science, Technology and Innovation (ISSTI) and from Information Services and the Digital Curation Centre (DCC) at the University of Edinburgh. The aim of the project was to improve understanding of information use in the life sciences, and to provide a broader and deeper base of evidence to inform discussions about how information policy and practice can most effectively be supported and improved. Case studies were conducted across laboratories and research groups from 7 sub-disciplines of the life sciences and deployed a range of methodologies and tools including short-term ethnographic techniques and semi-structured instruments. Our key conclusion indicates that policies and strategies of research funders and information service providers must be informed by an understanding of the constraints and practices of different research communities. Only thus will they be effective in optimising use and exchange of information, and in ensuring that they are scientifically productive and cost-effective The full report 'Patterns of information use and exchange: case studies of researchers in the life sciences' is available at: http://www.rin.ac.uk/case-studies.

Specimen data: One female (Figs 1–2), 31. viii. 2016 (8:29 am), Ishika [Sesoko Island], Motobu-cho, Okinawa Prefecture, Japan, Satoshi Arata leg. (S. Arata’s private collection), forewing length 66 mm.
Notes: This individual was collected while sucking the nectar of Hibiscus rosa in the garden of a house along the farm road on the south coast of Sesoko Island. As the butterfly was female, the second author attempted to extract eggs from its abdomen but did not obtain any. Therefore, it is possible that it laid eggs around Sesoko Island. However, it should also be noted that, instead of eggs, a larger amount of body fat was stored.

description: IR Plus is a new, open source platform for institutional repositories. Based on several years of user research, IR Plus was written to support faculty and grad students in the creation phases of their research, rather than just being a receptacle for finished work. For social scientists, the format-agnostic personal workspace supports storing and sharing large datasets, allowing them to collaborate with colleagues all over the world. When the work is ready for "publication" into the repository, a controlled but flexible approach to metadata allows easy addition of new types while keeping the overall metadata clean. Bringing the repository closer to social networking systems, users of the system can showcase and provide access to their work through Researcher Pages, which are easy to create and maintain. Users can now also feature "personal publications" on their Researcher Pages: material from the workspace that has not been added to any of the collections in the repository. While IR Plus was not created just for data users, we feel IASSIST members will find a number of its features interesting and useful, and it provides a study of a formal, institutional system edging into the world of social networking and collaboration.

description: The braid group $B_n$ maps homomorphically into the Temperley-Lieb algebra $\TL_n$. It was shown by Zinno that the homomorphic images of simple elements arising from the dual presentation of the braid group $B_n$ form a basis for the vector space underlying the Temperley-Lieb algebra $\TL_n$. In this paper, we establish that there is a dual presentation of Temperley-Lieb algebras that corresponds to the dual presentation of braid groups, and then give a simple geometric proof for Zinno's theorem, using the interpretation of simple elements as non-crossing partitions.

description: Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic autoimmune disease primarily affecting the spine and lumbosacral joints, characterized by inflammation that can lead to significant disability. Associated with the human leukocyte antigen B27 (HLA-B27), AS affects 0.1-1.5% of the global population, with a notably higher prevalence in men, typically beginning before the age of 40. The disease has a profound impact on the quality of life, often leading to early disability among young adults. The chronicity of the disease, combined with its potential for severe functional impairment, highlights the importance of timely and effective treatment.

description: Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a life-threatening condition with high mortality, categorized into 5 Groups based on distinct etiologies. Fasudil, a potent vasodilator targeting the RhoA/Rho kinase pathway, holds promise for diverse PH pathologies. However, a comprehensive systematic evaluation of its clinical benefits remains elusive. We conducted a systematic search across several databases. Meta-analysis using odds ratio and mean difference was performed, with an assessment of studies’ quality and pooled evidence. Studies on Group-2 and -3 PH reports eligible data for meta-analysis. Inclusion of 3269 patients with Group-3 PH demonstrated that fasudil significantly increased effective events, FEV1, 6-minute walking distance (6MWD) and arterial PaO2, and decreased mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) and pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP); Inclusion of 197 patients with Group-2 PH suggested that fasudil significantly increased 6MWD and PaO2, and decreased PASP. Subgroup analysis revealed no significant difference between dosages of 30 and 60 mg/day, while durations and methods of fasudil administration might affect therapeutic effectiveness in patients with Group-3 PH. By providing comprehensive and robust evidence, our study favor the beneficial effects of fasudil by enhancing FEV1, 6MWD and PaO2, and reducing mPAP and PASP on patients with Group-3 PH, suggesting fasudil as a viable treatment recommendation for these patients and highlighting the need for further studies to inform healthcare policies. www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero identifier is CRD42022308947

description: This study focused on improving students’ learning mathematical of proofs and proving by using combinations of proof strategies that span different levels of understanding of proof structure; we refer to these as ‘level-spanning proof-production strategies’. We analysed the level-specific proof-production strategies evident in the lessons and class tests of two Grade 8 classes (students aged 13–14). Our analysis revealed the level-spanning proof-production strategies by students and teachers that emerged during lessons to enhance the students’ understanding of the proof structure. The idea of combining strategies at different levels is not found in previous studies and can be applied outside of proof studies, provided that the students’ levels are well developed. It can be expected that the conscious use of these strategies by teachers in their proof teaching will enhance students’ ability to produce proofs according to their understanding of proof structures.
Collective modes of a trapped Lieb-Liniger gas: a hydrodynamic approach

description: We consider a trapped repulsive one-dimensional (1D) Bose gas at very low temperature. In order to study the collective modes of this strongly interacting system, we use a hydrodynamic approach, where the gas is locally described by the Lieb-Liniger model of bosons interacting via a repulsive delta potential. Solving the corresponding linearized hydrodynamic equations, we obtain the collective modes and concentrate more specifically on the lowest compressional mode. This is done by finding models, approaching very closely the exact equation of stae of the gas, for which the linearized hydrodynamic equations are exactly solvable. Results are in excellent agreement with those of the sum rule approach of Menotti and Stringari.

description: We investigate an implication of the most recent observation of a second $J^π= 2^+$ state in $^{12}$C, which was measured using the $^{12}$C($γ$,$α$)$^8$Be$_{\textrm{(g.s.)}}$ reaction. In addition to the dissociation of $^{12}$C to an $α$-particle and $^8$Be in its ground state, a small fraction of events (2%) were identified as direct decays and decays to excited states in $^8$Be. This allowed a limit on the direct 3$α$ partial decay width to be determined as $Γ_{3α} < 32(4)$ keV. Since this 2$^+$ state is predicted by all theoretical models to be a collective excitation of the Hoyle state, the 3$α$ partial width of the Hoyle state is calculable from the ratio of 3$α$ decay penetrabilities of the Hoyle and 2$^+$ states. This was calculated using the semi-classical WKB approach and we deduce a stringent upper limit for the direct decay branching ratio of the Hoyle state of ${Γ_{3α} \over Γ} < 5.7 \times 10^{-6}$, over an order of magnitude lower than previously reported. This result places the direct measurement of this rare decay mode beyond current experimental capabilities.

description: We discuss the origin of chiral symmetry breaking in the light-cone representation of QCD. In particular, we show how quark helicity symmetry is spontaneously broken in SU(N) gauge theory with massless quarks if that theory has a condensate of fermion lightcone zero modes. The symmetry breaking appears as induced interactions in an effective lightcone Hamiltonian equation based on a trivial vacuum. The induced interaction is crucial for generating a splitting between pseudoscalar and vector meson masses, which we illustrate with spectrum calculations in some 1+1-dimensional reduced models of gauge theory.

For time-dependent generalized oscillators we find the invariant operators, known as the Ermakov-Lewis invariants, in terms of a complex classical solution, from which the evolution operator is derived, and obtain the Heisenberg position and momentum operators. Physical quantities such as correlation functions are calculated using both the invariant operators and Heisenberg operators.

These inequalities imply that correlation functions are non-negative and monotonic along the Nishimori line in the phase diagram. From this result, the existence of thermodynamic limit for correlation functions and pressure is proved under free and fixed boundary conditions. Relations between the location of multicritical points are also derived for different lattices.

The model predicts approximate, but never exact, bottom-tau Yukawa unification. The deviations are related to group theoretical coefficients and can naturally be at the level of 10%-20%.

description: By including the most recent observations of HI 21-cm absorption through near-by galactic disks, we confirm our previous assertion that there is an anti-correlation between the abundance of cool neutral atomic gas and impact parameter. Comparing the measured neutral hydrogen column densities of the sample with the absorption strength, we find a peak in the mean spin temperature of ~2310 K at an impact parameter of ~ 14 kpc, with > 1000 K in the remainder of the disk. This is significantly different to the spin temperature distribution in the Milky Way, which exhibits a constant ~ 250 - 400 K over 8 - 25 kpc. The measured column densities may, however, suffer from beam dilution, which we show appears to be the case for the observations of HI 21-cm emission in which the beam subtends radii of > 10 kpc. We therefore apply the column density profile of the Milky Way, in addition to the mean of the sample, observed at sufficiently high resolution, and the mean profile for the near-by galaxies in the IllustrisTNG simulations. All of the models yield a peak in the mean spin temperature at similar radii/impact parameters (10 - 15 kpc) as the measured column densities. These radii are similar to those of the spiral arms where HII regions are often concentrated. We therefore suggest that the elevated spin temperatures trace the HII regions observed in the outer disk of many spiral galaxies.

description: Modern agriculture is facing new challenges in the field of sustainable development and it is required not only to supply products of satisfactory quality, but also take into account the numerous environmental and social consequences of characters relating thereto, and which directly affect the overall society. The main reasons for the expansion of organic agriculture are the results of medical studies that show increased health risks in consuming foods originating from intensive conventional production. Risk had the most high frequency of disorders of development and health of infants, as well as disorders of fertility that have been demonstrated in humans and animals. The essence of this work is reflected in the specific field of view, the importance of marketing - consumer behavior, as well as our opportunities to join the new trends, both in production and consumption of organic products.

description: Three new X-ray pulsars have been detected in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) and the positions of two others have been determined, with archive Chandra data. A series of five observations of the SMC took place between May and October 2002. Analysis of these data has revealed three previously unknown X-ray pulsars at pulse periods of 34, 503 and 138 seconds. The position of pulsar XTE J0052-725, which was originally detected by RXTE on June 19 2002, was also accurately determined and a previously detected 7.78s RXTE pulsar was identified as the source SMC X-3.

description: The energy asymmetry in top-antitop-jet production is an observable of the top charge asymmetry designed for the LHC. We perform a realistic analysis in the boosted kinematic regime, including effects of the parton shower, hadronization and expected experimental uncertainties. Our predictions at particle level show that the energy asymmetry in the Standard Model can be measured with a significance of $3σ$ during Run 3, and with more than $5σ$ significance at the HL-LHC. Beyond the Standard Model the energy asymmetry is a sensitive probe of new physics with couplings to top quarks. In the framework of the Standard Model Effective Field Theory, we show that the sensitivity of the energy asymmetry to effective four-quark interactions is higher or comparable to other top observables and resolves blind directions in current LHC fits. We suggest to include the energy asymmetry as an important observable in global searches for new physics in the top sector.

Copy + Paste : The Legacy of Sameness

description: In the eyes of many contemporary urban planners and theorists, our current approach to housing exists as an unfortunate amalgamation of corporate ideals and social stratification. To many artists and creatives, it represents a stale repetition of uninspired nothingness. From capitalism, transnationalism, and alienation; to greed, envy, and security; there are countless motivators, both internal and external, that have dictated the way in which we have shaped the world around us. It can be observed at every scale, from single-family dwellings to major comprehensive developments. While the claims of an enterprise-driven homogeneity are certainly valid, there is another perspective that doubtlessly factors into how we have actualized our built environment. I grew up in an East Vancouver neighbourhood that typified copy and paste housing. I was the child of immigrant parents who didn’t quite fit in. Yet still, we hold those years in high regard with a fondness and sense of pride that is unquestionably related to place. Though we did not always look or act like our neighbours, the apparent resemblance of our respective dwellings provided us with an intangible, but definite social capital. Particularly, for a group of outsiders seeking integration and involvement, the neutrality that is inherited by likeness served as an unspoken, but nevertheless invaluable tool of inclusion. As such, this thesis turned from an eager scrutinization of the principal disconnect between space-making and desire into a sympathetic defence. An inquiry on how we might leverage the evolving legacy of architectural sameness in a manner that equally engages nonpartisanship, symbiosis, and enterprise.

description: We present a unified statistical framework for characterizing community structure of brain functional networks that captures variation across individuals and evolution over time. Existing methods for community detection focus only on single-subject analysis of dynamic networks; while recent extensions to multiple-subjects analysis are limited to static networks. To overcome these limitations, we propose a multi-subject, Markov-switching stochastic block model (MSS-SBM) to identify state-related changes in brain community organization over a group of individuals. We first formulate a multilayer extension of SBM to describe the time-dependent, multi-subject brain networks. We develop a novel procedure for fitting the multilayer SBM that builds on multislice modularity maximization which can uncover a common community partition of all layers (subjects) simultaneously. By augmenting with a dynamic Markov switching process, our proposed method is able to capture a set of distinct, recurring temporal states with respect to inter-community interactions over subjects and the change points between them. Simulation shows accurate community recovery and tracking of dynamic community regimes over multilayer networks by the MSS-SBM. Application to task fMRI reveals meaningful non-assortative brain community motifs, e.g., core-periphery structure at the group level, that are associated with language comprehension and motor functions suggesting their putative role in complex information integration. Our approach detected dynamic reconfiguration of modular connectivity elicited by varying task demands and identified unique profiles of intra and inter-community connectivity across different task conditions. The proposed multilayer network representation provides a principled way of detecting synchronous, dynamic modularity in brain networks across subjects.

description: We study isovector collective excitations in nuclear matter by employing the linearized Landau-Vlasov equation with and without a non-Markovian binary collision term at finite temperature. We calculate the giant dipole resonance (GDR) strength function for finite nuclei using Steinwedel-Jensen model and also by Thomas-Fermi approximation, and we compare them for 120Sn and 208Pb with experimental results.

description: On the literature, which is considered the tourism and hospitality industry and highlight themost elaborate facilities and supply factors with which the travel or hospitality organization representing their clients. With offer, on certain works, sometimes perceive aspects of the global demand. Here are rarely made a subtle analysis of hidden factors - what is it that some tourism and hospitality organization brings to the position of outstanding business and financial performance which is relative to other organizations which can be operate in the same economic sector? Especially compared to other unsuccessful or less successful organizations guests and other customers by offering the same quality content of its services and that, in other words, the essential aspects of their visible supply (management and marketing, work programs, personnel,equipment, building andotherfixed and variable resources) almost does not differ from the first (above average successful) organizations. In this paper, the fact is an attempt to identify and shed light on some relevant factors of success of business tourism and hospitality organizations, which are currently in the tourism and hospitality industry - which has a specific activity the service character,manifested as a key. It is the identification and explanation of the location (positional)rent that is in the tourism and hospitality expressed on several spatial levels, which are presented in the exposure grouped into four categories spatial levels: micro, meso, macro and mega levels

description: In the conditions of social, political, economic and other circumstances that are changing, maritime companies which aim to be competitive and successful on the market have to adjust. One of the ways of adjusting, i.e. managing the development of maritime ports is the concept of organizational changes. This concept includes different models and programmes by which it can be influenced on these companies to adjust and be successful. One of the given ways of changing which is defined as the most acceptable is the model of transformation. The goal of research is to determine the source, goals and contents of a maritime port transformation. Also, the research should have identified the strategies for accomplishing the defined goals of transformation, as well as defined and described the model of transformation process. Regarding the nature and character of the research subject, the research is realised by implementing several scientific methods. The implemented methods made possible the research in whole of the defined subject, and the use of the methods made possible the verification o f hypothetical frame, i.e. accomplishing the defined research goals.
