description: Campylobacter jejuni is a leading cause of gastroenterious in humans, particularly in the developing world through the consumption of contaminated meat. The C. jejuni genome contains many phase variable genes, a phasome, these hypermutability loci can switch expression states of a gene heritably, stochastically and with high frequency and can be driven by various molecular mechanisms. Botlenecks occur through selective or non-selective mechanisms, both act to reduce the population size. This thesis aims to understand the role of botlenecks during infection, colonisation, and persistence by C. jejuni and the role of phase variation in adaptation.
An investigation into the distribution of phase variable genes across C. jejuni clonal complexes, to understand adaptive effect of phase variable genes, reveals a strong association between the phasome and the evolutionary niche adaptation of the clonal complexes. The identified phase variable genes also drove diversifying selection, further adapting C. jejuni towards environmental stressors. The results presented highlight the important role of phase variation in niche adaptation.
Improving on current modelling techniques, an in-silico model combining selective and non-selective botleneck effects was developed allowing complex scenarios to be simulated and botleneck events predicted. This led to the generation of machine learning models to predict selection coefficients and non-selective botleneck widths, culminating in accurate predictions, which can enhance our understanding of selection in vitro and in vivo.
The effects of persistent selection on phase variable genes and survival was tested through the development of a passage assay using bacteriophage F336. Infection is controlled by a phase variable switch in C. jejuni. Serial passages revealed the survival of both the bacteria and bacteriophage despite increasing resistance in the C. jejuni population. The resistance profile shown in vitro confirmed in-silico modelling and suggested counter selection against the bacteriophage which leads to enhanced resistance during colonisation and infection.

description: Many relevant problems in industrial settings result in NP-hard optimization problems, such as the Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (CVRP) or its reduced variant, the Travelling Salesperson Problem (TSP). Even with today's most powerful classical algorithms, the CVRP is challenging to solve classically. Quantum computing may offer a way to improve the time to solution, although the question remains open as to whether Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) devices can achieve a practical advantage compared to classical heuristics. The most prominent algorithms proposed to solve combinatorial optimization problems in the NISQ era are the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) and the more general Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE). However, implementing them in a way that reliably provides high-quality solutions is challenging, even for toy examples. In this work, we discuss decomposition and formulation aspects of the CVRP and propose an application-driven way to measure solution quality. Considering current hardware constraints, we reduce the CVRP to a clustering phase and a set of TSPs. For the TSP, we extensively test both QAOA and VQE and investigate the influence of various hyperparameters, such as the classical optimizer choice and strength of constraint penalization. Results of QAOA are generally of limited quality because the algorithm does not reach the energy threshold for feasible TSP solutions, even when considering various extensions such as recursive, warm-start and constraint-preserving mixer QAOA. On the other hand, the VQE reaches the energy threshold and shows a better performance. Our work outlines the obstacles to quantum-assisted solutions for real-world optimization problems and proposes perspectives on how to overcome them.

description: Harmful content is pervasive on social media, poisoning online communities and negatively impacting participation. A common approach to address this issue is to develop detection models that rely on human annotations. However, the tasks required to build such models expose annotators to harmful and offensive content and may require significant time and cost to complete. Generative AI models have the potential to understand and detect harmful content. To investigate this potential, we used ChatGPT and compared its performance with MTurker annotations for three frequently discussed concepts related to harmful content: Hateful, Offensive, and Toxic (HOT). We designed five prompts to interact with ChatGPT and conducted four experiments eliciting HOT classifications. Our results show that ChatGPT can achieve an accuracy of approximately 80% when compared to MTurker annotations. Specifically, the model displays a more consistent classification for non-HOT comments than HOT comments compared to human annotations. Our findings also suggest that ChatGPT classifications align with provided HOT definitions, but ChatGPT classifies "hateful" and "offensive" as subsets of "toxic." Moreover, the choice of prompts used to interact with ChatGPT impacts its performance. Based on these in-sights, our study provides several meaningful implications for employing ChatGPT to detect HOT content, particularly regarding the reliability and consistency of its performance, its understand-ing and reasoning of the HOT concept, and the impact of prompts on its performance. Overall, our study provides guidance about the potential of using generative AI models to moderate large volumes of user-generated content on social media.

description: Protein aggregation via liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) is ubiquitous in nature and intimately connects to many human diseases. Although it is widely known that the addition of salt has crucial impacts on the LLPS of protein, full understanding of the salt effect remains an outstanding challenge. Here, we develop a molecular theory which systematically incorporates the self-consistent field theory for charged macromolecules into the solution thermodynamics. The electrostatic interaction, hydrophobicity, ion solvation and translational entropy are included in a unified framework. Our theory fully captures the long-standing puzzles of the non-monotonic salt concentration dependence and the specific ion effect. We find that proteins show salting-out at low salt concentrations due to ionic screening. The solubility follows the inverse Hofmeister series. In the high salt concentration regime, protein remains salting-out for small ions but turns to salting-in for larger ions, accompanied by the reversal of the Hofmeister series. We reveal that the solubility at high salt concentrations is determined by the competition between the solvation energy and translational entropy of ion. Furthermore, we derive an analytical criterion for determining the boundary between the salting-in and salting-out regimes. The theoretical prediction is in quantitative agreement with experimental results for various proteins and salt ions without any fitting parameters.

description: Recent advancements in multimodal pre-training have shown promising efficacy in 3D representation learning by aligning multimodal features across 3D shapes, their 2D counterparts, and language descriptions. However, the methods used by existing frameworks to curate such multimodal data, in particular language descriptions for 3D shapes, are not scalable, and the collected language descriptions are not diverse. To address this, we introduce ULIP-2, a simple yet effective tri-modal pre-training framework that leverages large multimodal models to automatically generate holistic language descriptions for 3D shapes. It only needs 3D data as input, eliminating the need for any manual 3D annotations, and is therefore scalable to large datasets. ULIP-2 is also equipped with scaled-up backbones for better multimodal representation learning. We conduct experiments on two large-scale 3D datasets, Objaverse and ShapeNet, and augment them with tri-modal datasets of 3D point clouds, images, and language for training ULIP-2. Experiments show that ULIP-2 demonstrates substantial benefits in three downstream tasks: zero-shot 3D classification, standard 3D classification with fine-tuning, and 3D captioning (3D-to-language generation). It achieves a new SOTA of 50.6% (top-1) on Objaverse-LVIS and 84.7% (top-1) on ModelNet40 in zero-shot classification. In the ScanObjectNN benchmark for standard fine-tuning, ULIP-2 reaches an overall accuracy of 91.5% with a compact model of only 1.4 million parameters. ULIP-2 sheds light on a new paradigm for scalable multimodal 3D representation learning without human annotations and shows significant improvements over existing baselines. The code and datasets are released at https://github.com/salesforce/ULIP.

description: A number of novelties have emerged in the study of the discretionary fiscal policy within the Euro area during the last decade. Among the others, the availability of up-to-date information on fiscal indicators for the years following the Great Recession, the introduction of cutting-edge econometric methods, and a renewed interest about the sustainability of fiscal policy and public debt. The aim of this paper is to address the challenges posed by the estimation of the discretionary fiscal reaction function for the Euro area. We exploit recently introduced testing and estimation strategies for heterogeneous dynamic panels with cross-sectional dependence and propose a new parsimonious approach. Using real-time data over the period 1996-2016, we investigate whether the fiscal policy reaction function is still a benchmark after the Great Recession. We find evidence of strong cross-sectional dependence in the panel, and clear support to a valid cointegration relationship among the main determinants of the function. Newly added covariates, such interest rate spreads, come out to play a relevant role in explaining discretionary actions.

description: Este trabajo tiene el objetivo de editar el texto de la sátira Contra el pintarse (1765) de Cándido María Trigueros: un poema de 336 versos cuyo manuscrito se conserva en la Biblioteca Colombina de Sevilla. En él, el autor se propone ridiculizar, y de tal manera censurar, una moda femenina muy en boga: el uso - y el abuso - de afeites. El texto responde a todos los elementos definitorios del género satírico reconocidos por Forner, es decir: el modo – porque trata el argumento en tono irónico -, el objeto – ya que se dirige a la corrección – y la materia, porque nos enseña la fealdad del vicio haciéndolo ridiculo. La crítica al uso excesivo de cosméticos se había manifestado ya en el Renacimiento, pero a lo largo de la Edad Moderna se convierte en un verdadero lugar común, argumento de un significativo grupo de textos de los que tendrá que entrar a formar parte nuestra sátira.

description: External seeded free-electron lasers (FELs) are compelling tools for generating fully coherent EUV and soft X-ray radiations. Echo-enabled harmonic generation (EEHG), the most typical representative of external seeded FELs, has witnessed a remarkable growth of fully coherent FELs in the last decade, continuously evolving towards higher harmonic conversions and shorter wavelengths. Ultra-high harmonic generation is imperative in the field of FELs. This paper presents a novel method for generating FEL radiation with ultra-high harmonic conversion, utilizing harmonic optical klystron in combination with EEHG. This method can effectively increase the harmonic conversion order to about 90. Theoretical analysis and numerical simulations show that intense and almost fully coherent FEL pulses can be generated with a wavelength of 3 nm. At the same time, the seed laser intensity required by this scheme is lower compared to nominal EEHG, thus facilitating the generation of high-repetition-rate seeded FELs.

description: In this paper, a quantitative investigation of the non-classical and quantum non-Gaussian characters of the photon-subtracted displaced Fock state $|ψ\rangle=a^kD(α)|{n}\rangle$, where $k$ is number of photons subtracted, $n$ is Fock parameter, is performed by using a collection of measures like Wigner logarithmic negativity, linear entropy potential, skew information based measure, and relative entropy of quantum non-Gaussianity. It is noticed that the number of photons subtracted ($k$) changes the nonclassicality and quantum non-Gaussianity in a significant amount in the regime of small values of the displacement parameter whereas Fock parameter ($n$) presents a notable change in the large regime of the displacement parameter. In this respect, the role of the Fock parameter is found to be stronger as compared to the photon subtraction number. Finally, the Wigner function dynamics considering the effects of photon loss channel is used to show that the Wigner negativity can only be exposed by highly efficient detectors.

description: This paper investigates the profound consequences of the absence of open repositories on marginalised societies, focusing on Women Marketeers in Makululu Compound, Kabwe, Zambia, a region marked by limited digital access. As the second largest compound in Africa and extensively studied in Zambia, Makululu serves as a compelling case study. The paper adopts a qualitative approach to unveil the complex challenges faced by this community due to the lack of accessible digital platforms. The study exposes how this dearth negatively impacts education, economic opportunities, cultural preservation, and overall community empowerment. The findings underscore the intricate tapestry of challenges emanating from the unavailability of open repositories. Educational resources and skill development opportunities are compromised, contributing to economic disparities and hindering entrepreneurship. Moreover, the research highlights the broader implications for community empowerment, illustrating how the lack of open repositories impedes collaborative initiatives and knowledge-sharing within the community. The paper uncovers threats to cultural preservation, emphasizing how the absence of open repositories erodes traditional knowledge-sharing practices and stifles cultural expression. In response, the paper advocates for strategies that promote equitable access to information, emphasizing the importance of digital inclusivity and open access initiatives in fostering empowerment, inclusion, and the preservation of cultural diversity.

description: During the ongoing excavations in the area of the eastern harbour of Selinunte, a block of a sima with a lion's head made of marble was found in mid-August 2023. What makes this finding remarkable is on the one hand, that it is significantly larger than the other known marble sime in this region and that there has been no other comparison so far, which is why the question of the associated temple arises. Possibly the sima belongs to Temple E or an unknown building of classical times. Another striking feature is that the object is unfinished, i.e., it was never attached, and in this state, it will allow valuable conclusions to be drawn about the ancient building process. In the final consequence, the condition of the object therefore also allows very concrete indications of the trade and work contacts to Paros.

description: We present nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), neutron diffraction, magnetization, and transport measurements on a single crystal and powder of CeVGe$_3$. This material exhibits heavy fermion behavior at low temperature, accompanied by antiferromagnetic (AFM) order below 5.8 K. We find that the magnetic structure is incommensurate with AFM helical structure, characterized by a magnetic modulated propagation vector of $(0, 0, 0.49)$ with in-plane moments rotating around the $c$-axis. The NMR Knight shift and spin-lattice relaxation rate reveal a coherence temperature $T^*\sim 15$ K, and the presence of significant antiferromagnetic fluctuations reminiscent of the archetypical heavy fermion compound CeRhIn$_5$. We further identify a metamagnetic transition above $H_m\sim 2.5$ T for magnetic fields perpendicular to $c$. We speculate that the magnetic structure in this field-induced phase consists of a superposition with both ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic components, which is consistent with the NMR spectrum in this region of the phase diagram. Our results thus indicate that CeVGe$_3$ is a hexagonal structure analog to tetragonal CeRhIn$_5$.

description: Advancements in adapting deep convolution architectures for Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) have significantly enhanced image classification performance and reduced computational burdens. However, the inability of Multiplication-Free Inference (MFI) to align with attention and transformer mechanisms, which are critical to superior performance on high-resolution vision tasks, imposing limitations on these gains. To address this, our research explores a new pathway, drawing inspiration from the progress made in Multi-Layer Perceptrons (MLPs). We propose an innovative spiking MLP architecture that uses batch normalization to retain MFI compatibility and introducing a spiking patch encoding layer to enhance local feature extraction capabilities. As a result, we establish an efficient multi-stage spiking MLP network that blends effectively global receptive fields with local feature extraction for comprehensive spike-based computation. Without relying on pre-training or sophisticated SNN training techniques, our network secures a top-1 accuracy of 66.39% on the ImageNet-1K dataset, surpassing the directly trained spiking ResNet-34 by 2.67%. Furthermore, we curtail computational costs, model parameters, and simulation steps. An expanded version of our network compares with the performance of the spiking VGG-16 network with a 71.64% top-1 accuracy, all while operating with a model capacity 2.1 times smaller. Our findings highlight the potential of our deep SNN architecture in effectively integrating global and local learning abilities. Interestingly, the trained receptive field in our network mirrors the activity patterns of cortical cells. Source codes are publicly accessible at https://github.com/EMI-Group/mixer-snn.

description: In today's city of Durrës (Epidamnos / Dyrrachium), the amphitheatre is the most important monument that has survived from antiquity. It has been systematically cleared of modern buildings since 1966 and its essential elements are recognizable today. So far, however, it has not been considered in its suburban setting at the city's harbour. Moreover, a detailed reconstruction based on a meticulous building survey is lacking, which is necessary for a presentation in a modern context. The reconstruction will certainly pose particular problems. In contrast to most of the other existing amphitheatres, around two thirds of the slope was built into the substructural formation, so that only one third needed to be raised up. As a result, from the largely preserved north-west part, the structural formation of the south-east area can only be understood to a very limited extent. The challenge for the architect was to create an equally consistent and logical development to suit the audience in every area. The amphitheatre accords well with the concepts behind eastern representatives of this building type: efforts were made to keep the structural work required low by means of careful positioning in the slope.

Rekonstruktion der 'Beißergruppe' und das Motiv der knöchelspielenden Kinder

description: The fragmentary ‘Biter Group’ in the British Museum in London, which shows a boy sitting on the ground and biting another person’s arm, has long been identified as a Hellenistic genre sculpture of two boys quarreling over a game of knucklebones. Based on a personal visual inspection of the original sculpture and an iconographical survey of the motif of children playing with knucklebones, this article proposes a new digital 3D reconstruction for the missing figure of the bitten boy. After producing a photogrammetric image of the sculpture using image-based modeling (IbM), a simplified base mesh of a juvenile male figure was used to reconstruct the bitten boy. This method allows one to easily test different postures for the missing figure and to try out different viewing perspectives and so formulate a possible composition for the whole group.

description: We discuss the interpretation of the detected signal by Pulsar Timing Array (PTA) observations as a gravitational wave background (GWB) of cosmological origin. We combine NANOGrav 15-years and EPTA-DR2new data sets and confront them against backgrounds from supermassive black hole binaries (SMBHBs), and cosmological signals from inflation, cosmic (super)strings, first-order phase transitions, Gaussian and non-Gaussian large scalar fluctuations, and audible axions. We find that scalar-induced, and to a lesser extent audible axion and cosmic superstring signals, provide a better fit than SMBHBs. These results depend, however, on modeling assumptions, so further data and analysis are needed to reach robust conclusions. Independently of the signal origin, the data strongly constrain the parameter space of cosmological signals, for example, setting an upper bound on primordial non-Gaussianity at PTA scales as $|f_{nl}| \lesssim 2.34$ at 95% CL.

procuratores marmorum Numidicorum als kaiserliche Funktionäre und Euergeten
Creators: name: Beck, Dennis Mario
Publisher: name: Römische Mitteilungen

description: This paper focuses on the evidence concerning the imperial marble procurators at Simitthus/Chimtou in Tunisia. After a reform in Hadrianic times, imperial freedmen in the office of procurator marmorum Numidicorum appear at Simitthus until the Severan period. Currently, thirteen procuratores m. N. can be deduced from the combination of inscriptions and archaeological evidence in Simitthus. This evidence throws light on the tasks of the procurators in the administration of the quarries. Unlike their fellows in Asia Minor, Greek, and Egyptian quarries, the spatial proximity and interaction with the Roman colony here allows analysis of their representational behaviour and comparison with their "colleagues" from other quarries. Simitthus therefore offers a unique situation, where the donor activities of these procurators are embedded in the workings of a prosperous city. Through numerous dedications and the use of marmor Numidicum for the monumentalization of sanctuaries, the procurators competed with the urban elite and were thus a component both of urban life and of imperial domain administration.
