description: Survival rates of cancer patients vary widely within and between malignancies. While genetic aberrations are at the root of all cancers, individual genomic features cannot explain these distinct disease outcomes. In contrast, intra-tumour heterogeneity (ITH) has the potential to elucidate pan-cancer survival rates and the biology that drives cancer prognosis. Unfortunately, a comprehensive and effective framework to measure ITH across cancers is missing. Here, we introduce a scalable measure of chromosomal copy number heterogeneity (CNH) that predicts patient survival across cancers. We show that the level of ITH can be derived from a single-sample copy number profile. Using gene-expression data and live cell imaging we demonstrate that ongoing chromosomal instability underlies the observed heterogeneity. Analysing 11,534 primary cancer samples from 37 different malignancies, we find that copy number heterogeneity can be accurately deduced and predicts cancer survival across tissues of origin and stages of disease. Our results provide a unifying molecular explanation for the different survival rates observed between cancer types.

description: We study the effects of hard core (HC) interactions between different species of particles on two-species branching annihilating random walks with one offspring(BAW$_2$(1)). The single-species model belongs to the directed percolation (DP) universality class. In the BAW$_2$(1) model, a particle creates one particle of the same species in its neighborhood with the probability $σ(1-p)$ and of the different species with $(1-σ)(1-p)$, where $p$ is the hopping probability. Without HC interactions, this model always exhibits the DP-type absorbing transition for all $σ$. Even with HC interactions, the nature of the phase transitions does not change except near $σ=0$, where the HC interaction destabilizes and completely wipes away the absorbing phase. The model is always active except at the annihilation fixed point of zero branching rate ($p=1$). Critical behavior near the annihilation fixed point is characterized by exponents $β= ν_\perp =1/2$ and $ν_{||} = 1$.

description: Objective: To determine whether disparities exist in the nutritional quality of packaged foods and beverage purchases by household income, education and race/ethnicity and if they changed over time. Design: We used Nielsen Homescan, a nationally representative household panel, from 2008 to 2018 (n = 672 821 household-year observations). Multivariate, multilevel regressions were used to model the association between sociodemographic groups and a set of nutritional outcomes of public health interest, including nutrients of concern (sugar, saturated fat and Na) and calories from specific food groups (fruits, non-starchy vegetables, processed meats, sugar-sweetened beverages and junk foods). Setting: Household panel survey. Participants: Approximately 60 000 households each year from the USA. Results: Disparities were found by income and education for most outcomes and widened for purchases of fruits, vegetables and the percentage of calories from sugar between 2008 and 2018. The magnitude of disparities was largest by education. Disparities between Black and White households include the consumption of processed meats and the percentage of calories from sugar, while no disparities were found between White and Hispanic households. Disparities have been largely persistent, as any significant changes over time have been substantively small. Conclusions: Policies to improve the healthfulness of packaged foods must be expanded beyond SSB taxes, and future research should focus on what mediates the relationship between education and diet so as not to exacerbate disparities.

description: We interpret simulations of secularly-evolving disc galaxies through orbit morphology. Using a new algorithm that measures the volume of orbits in real space using a tessellation, we rapidly isolate commensurate (resonant) orbits. We identify phase-space regions occupied by different orbital families. Compared to spectral methods, the tessellation algorithm can identify resonant orbits within a few dynamical periods, crucial for understanding an evolving galaxy model. The flexible methodology accepts arbitrary potentials, enabling detailed descriptions of the orbital families. We apply the machinery to four different potential models, including two barred models, and fully characterise the orbital membership. We identify key differences in the content of orbit families, emphasising the presence of orbit families indicative of the bar evolutionary state and the shape of the dark matter halo. We use the characterisation of orbits to investigate the shortcomings of analytic and self-consistent studies, comparing our findings to the evolutionary epochs in self-consistent barred galaxy simulations. Using insight from our orbit analysis, we present a new observational metric that uses spatial and kinematic information from integral field spectrometers that may reveal signatures of commensurabilities and allow for a differentiation between models.

description: Background Depression in the perinatal period, during pregnancy or within 1 year of childbirth, imposes a high burden on women with rippling effects through her and her child's life course. Social support may be an important protective factor, but the complex bidirectional relationship with depression, alongside a paucity of longitudinal explorations, leaves much unknown about critical windows of social support exposure across the perinatal period and causal impacts on future depressive episodes. Methods This study leverages marginal structural models to evaluate associations between longitudinal patterns of perinatal social support and subsequent maternal depression at 6 and 12 months postpartum. In a cohort of women in rural Pakistan (n=780), recruited in the third trimester of pregnancy and followed up at 3, 6 and 12 months postpartum, we assessed social support using two well-validated measures: the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) and the Maternal Social Support Index (MSSI). Major depressive disorder was assessed with the Structured Clinical Interview for Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM IV). Results High and sustained scores on the MSPSS through the perinatal period were associated with a decreased risk of depression at 12 months postpartum (0.35, 95% CI: 0.19 to 0.63). Evidence suggests the recency of support also matters, but estimates are imprecise. We did not find evidence of a protective effect for support based on the MSSI. Conclusions This study highlights the protective effect of sustained social support, particularly emotional support, on perinatal depression. Interventions targeting, leveraging and maintaining this type of support may be particularly important for reducing postpartum depression.

description: In a magnetic substance the gap in the Raman spectrum, Delta_R, is approximatively twice the value of the neutron scattering gap, Delta_S, if the the magnetic excitations (magnons) are only weakly interacting. But for CuGeO_3 the experimentally observed ratio Delta_R/Delta_S is approximatively 1.49-1.78, indicating attractive magnon-magnon interactions in the quasi-1D Spin-Peierls compound CuGe_3. We present numerical estimates for Delta_R/Delta_S from exact diagonalization studies for finite chains and find agreement with experiment for intermediate values of the frustration parameter alpha. An analysis of the numerical Raman intensity leads us to postulate a continuum of two-magnon bound states in the Spin-Peierls phase. We discuss in detail the numerical method used, the dependence of the results on the model parameters and a novel matrix-element effect due to the dimerization of the Raman-operator in the Spin-Peierls phase.

description: The stability of mass transfer is critical in determining pathways towards various kinds of compact binaries, such as compact main-sequence white-dwarf binaries, and transients, such as double white-dwarf mergers and luminous red novae. Despite its importance, only very few systematic studies of the stability of mass transfer exist. Using the 1D stellar evolution code MESA, we study the behaviour of mass-losing post-main-sequence donor stars with masses between $1 M_{\odot}$ and $8 M_{\odot}$ in binaries, without assuming that the donor star responds to mass loss adiabatically . We treat the accretor as a point mass, which we do not evolve, and assume the mass transfer is conservative. We find that the criterion that best predicts the onset of runaway mass transfer is based on the transition to an effectively adiabatic donor response to mass loss. We find that the critical mass ratio $q_{\rm qad} \sim 0.25$ for stars crossing the Hertzsprung gap, while for convective giants $q_{\rm qad}$ decreases from $\sim 1$ at the base of the RGB to $\sim 0.1$ at the the onset of thermal pulses on the AGB. An effectively adiabatic response of the donor star only occurs at a very high critical mass-transfer rate due to the short local thermal timescale in the outermost layers of a red giant. For $q > q_{\rm qad}$ mass transfer is self-regulated, but for evolved giants the resulting mass-transfer rates can be so high that the evolution becomes dynamical and/or the donor can overflow its outer lobe. Our results indicate that mass transfer is stable for a wider range of binary parameter space than typically assumed in rapid binary population synthesis and found in recent similar studies. Moreover, we find a systematic dependence of the critical mass ratio on the donor star mass and radius which may have significant consequences for predictions of post-mass-transfer populations.

description: Background: Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are a common pathway to adult depression. This pathway is particularly important during the perinatal period when women are at an elevated risk for depression. However, this relationship has not been explored in South Asia. This study estimates the association between ACEs and women’s (N = 889) depression at 36 months postpartum in rural Pakistan. Method: Data come from the Bachpan Cohort study. To capture ACEs, an adapted version of the ACE-International Questionnaire was used. Women’s depression was measured using both major depressive episodes (MDE) and depressive symptom severity. To assess the relationship between ACEs and depression, log-Poisson models were used for MDE and linear regression models for symptom severity. Results: The majority (58%) of women experienced at least one ACE domain, most commonly home violence (38.3%), followed by neglect (20.1%). Women experiencing four or more ACEs had the most pronounced elevation of symptom severity (β = 3.90; 95% CL = 2.13, 5.67) and MDE (PR = 2.43; 95% CL = 1.37, 4.32). Symptom severity (β = 2.88; 95% CL = 1.46, 4.31), and MDE (PR = 2.01; 95% CL = 1.27, 3.18) were greater for those experiencing community violence or family distress (β = 2.04; 95%; CL = 0.83, 3.25) (PR = 1.77; 95% CL = 1.12, 2.79). Conclusions: Findings suggest that ACEs are substantively distinct and have unique relationships to depression. They signal a need to address women’s ACEs as part of perinatal mental health interventions and highlight women’s lifelong experiences as important factors to understanding current mental health.

description: A familiar anomaly affects SU(2) gauge theory in four dimensions: a theory with an odd number of fermion multiplets in the spin 1/2 representation of the gauge group, and more generally in representations of spin 2r+1/2, is inconsistent. We describe here a more subtle anomaly that can affect SU(2) gauge theory in four dimensions under the condition that fermions transform with half-integer spin under SU(2) and bosons with integer spin. Such a theory, formulated in a way that requires no choice of spin structure, and with an odd number of fermion multiplets in representations of spin 4r+3/2, is inconsistent. The theory is consistent if one picks a spin or spin_c structure. Under Higgsing to U(1), the new SU(2) anomaly reduces to a known anomaly of "all-fermion electrodynamics." Like that theory, an SU(2) theory with an odd number of fermion multiplets in representations of spin 4r+3/2 can provide a boundary state for a five-dimensional gapped theory whose partition function on a closed five-manifold Y is $(-1)^{\int_Y w_2w_3}$. All statements have analogs with SU(2) replaced by Sp(2N). There is also an analog in five dimensions.

description: Pain is a common symptom in people with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), but it is assessed and reported inconsistently in research, and the validity of the measures remain uncertain. The aim of this study was to identify the characteristics, content, and psychometric properties of measures for pain used in ADPKD. We conducted a systematic review including all trials and observational studies that reported pain in people with ADPKD. Items from all measures were categorized into content and measurement dimensions of pain. We assessed the general characteristics and psychometric properties of all measures. 118 studies, we identified 26 measures: 12 (46%) measures were developed for a non-ADPKD population, 1 (4%) for chronic kidney disease, 2 (8%) for polycystic liver disease and 11 (42%) specifically for ADPKD. Ten anatomical sites were included, with the lower back the most common (10 measures [39%]), four measurement dimensions (intensity (23 [88%]), frequency (3 [12%]), temporality (2 [8%]), and sensory (21 [81%]), two pain types, nociceptive including visceral (15 [58%]) and somatic (5 [20%]), and neuropathic (2 [8%]), and twelve impact dimensions, where the most frequent was work (5 [31%]). The validation data for the measures were variable and only the ADPKD Impact Scale reported all psychometric domains. The measures for pain in ADPKD varied in terms of content and length, and most had not been validated in ADPKD. A standardized psychometrically robust measure that captures patient-important dimensions of pain is needed to evaluate and manage this debilitating complication of ADPKD.

description: Magnetic resonance imaging is a three-dimensional imaging technique, where a gradient of the magnetic field is used to interrogate spin resonances with spatial resolution. The application of this technique to probe the coherence of atoms with good three-dimensional resolution is a challenging application. We propose and demonstrate an optical method to probe spin resonances via a two-photon Raman transition, reconstructing the 3D-structure of an atomic ensemble's coherence, which is itself subject to external fields. Our method relies on a single time-and-space resolved heterodyne measurement, allowing the reconstruction of a complex 3D coherence profile. Owing to the optical interface, we reach a tomographic image resolution of $14\times14\times36$ $μ\mathrm{m}^3$. The technique allows to probe any transparent medium with a resonance structure and provides a robust diagnostic tool for atom-based quantum information protocols. As such, it is a viable technique for application to magnetometry, electrometry, and imaging of electromagnetic fields.

description: The effect of hermetic storage methods and opening time on protein, starch, zeleny value, and mold level of stored wheat is not extensively documented in Ethiopia. Therefore, the present study was conducted to evaluate the effects of hermetic storage methods and their opening time on the performance of stored wheat.  The experiment consisted of six storage methods, namely metal silos, Purdue Improved Crop Storage bag, Super GrainPro bag, Plastic drum, Triplex applied to wheat in Plastic drum, and Polypropylene bag as control with three opening times, two, four, and six months, were evaluated. Protein, starch, wet gluten, Zeleny, and mold colony-forming unit were determined after one year of storage.  Full factorial design was used, and the ANOVA was determined using R software. Results indicated that storage methods such as PICS, Super GrainPro bags, Triplex applied to drum plastic, and plastic drums led to significantly (P<0.05) lower levels of mold growth compared to the control and the metal silo. The present study showed that opening time had a significant effect on wet gluten and mold growth of wheat grain properties. Thus, the opening time must be considered during the storage of grains.

description: In this paper, we leverage a multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) framework to jointly learn a computation offloading decision and multichannel access policy with corresponding signaling. Specifically, the base station and industrial Internet of Things mobile devices are reinforcement learning agents that need to cooperate to execute their computation tasks within a deadline constraint. We adopt an emergent communication protocol learning framework to solve this problem. The numerical results illustrate the effectiveness of emergent communication in improving the channel access success rate and the number of successfully computed tasks compared to contention-based, contention-free, and no-communication approaches. Moreover, the proposed task offloading policy outperforms remote and local computation baselines.

description: After in quiescence for 49 years, 4U~1730--22 became active and had two outbursts in 2021 \& 2022, the onset and tail of the outbursts were observed by NICER, which give us a peerless opportunity to study the state transition and its underlying mechanism. In this work, we take both the NS surface and accretion disk emission as the seed photons of the Comptonization and derive their spectral evolution in a bolometric luminosity range of 1\%--15\%$L_{\rm Edd}$. In the high/soft state, the inferred inner disk radius and the NS radius are consistent well, which implies that the accretion disk is close to the NS surface. For the decay stage, we report a steep change of the accretion disk emission within one day, i.e., the soft-to-hard transition, which could be due to the propeller effect and the corresponding neutron star surface magnetic field is 1.8--2.2$\times10^{8}$ G. Moreover, the inner disk radius is truncated at the corotation radius, which is similar to the propeller effect detected from 4U~1608--52. The absence of the propeller effect in the hard-to-soft state transition implies that the transition between the magnetospheric accretion and the disk accretion is not the sole cause of the state transitions.

description: In this work we study a linear operator $f$ on a pre-euclidean space $\mathcal{V}$ by using properties of a corresponding graph. Given a basis $\B$ of $\mathcal{V}$, we present a decomposition of $\mathcal{V}$ as an orthogonal direct sum of certain linear subspaces $\{U_i\}_{i \in I}$, each one admitting a basis inherited from $\B$, in such way that $f = \sum_{i \in I}f_i$, being each $f_i$ a linear operator satisfying certain conditions respect with $U_i$. Considering new hypothesis, we assure the existence of an isomorphism between the graphs associated to $f$ relative to two different bases. We also study the minimality of $\mathcal{V}$ by using the graph associated to $f$ relative to $\B$.

description: Introduction Early childhood interventions primarily focus on the mother-child relationship, but grandmothers are often critical in childcare in low-resource settings. Prior research is mixed on how grandmother involvement influences child outcomes and there is a paucity of research on grandmother caregiving in low-income and middle-income countries. We examined the role of grandmother involvement on child growth and development in the first 2 years of life cross sectionally and longitudinally in rural Pakistan. Methods We used data from the Bachpan Cohort, a longitudinal birth cohort in rural Pakistan. Maternally reported grandmother involvement in daily instrumental and non-instrumental caregiving was collected at 3 and 12 months. A summed score was created and categorised into non-involved, low and high. Outcomes included 12-month and 24-month child growth, 12-month Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development and 24-month Ages and Stages Questionnaire - Socioemotional. We used multivariable generalised linear models to estimate mean differences (MD) at 12 months (n=727) and 24 months (n=712). Inverse probability weighting was used to account for missingness and sampling. Results In our sample, 68% of children lived with a grandmother, and most grandmothers were involved in caregiving. Greater 3-month grandmother involvement was positively associated with 12-month weight z-scores; however, greater involvement was associated with lower 24-month weight z-scores. High 12-month grandmother involvement was associated with improved 12-month cognitive (MD=0.38, 95% CI -0.01 to 0.76), fine motor skills (MD=0.45, 95% CI 0.08 to 0.83) and 24-month socioemotional development (MD=-17.83, 95% CI -31.47 to -4.19). No meaningful associations were found for length z-scores or language development. Conclusion In rural Pakistan, grandmothers provide caregiving that influences early child development. Our findings highlight the complex relationship between grandmother involvement and child weight, and suggest that grandmothers may positively promote early child cognitive, fine motor and socioemotional development. Understanding how grandmother involvement affects child outcomes in early life is necessary to inform caregiving interventions.

Lindane biodegradation was followed by decrease in pH as well as increase in concentration of chloride ions in the culture medium. Lindane degradation potential of Achromobacter sp. A3 was also studied at different concentrations of lindane. Maximum degradation was at 10 mg l−1 followed by 50 mg l−1 and 100 mg l−1 lindane. Also, lindane induced proteins were studied using SDS-PAGE. The induced proteins were identified as alpha/beta hydrolase fold-3 domain-containing protein, involved in lindane hydrolysis and extracellular solute-binding family protein having role in transmembrane transport of lindane for utilization of lindane by bacteria. The appearance of unique polypeptides in lane corresponding to media supplemented with lindane showed that the exposure of bacterial cells to lindane has resulted in regulative expression of certain proteins. So far as known, this is the first report to isolate and study lindane degrading root epiphytic bacteria from A. calamus.

description: Inertial motion analysis is having a growing interest during the last decades due to its advantages over classical optical systems. The technological solution based on inertial measurement units allows the measurement of movements in daily living environments, such as in everyday life, which is key for a realistic assessment and understanding of movements. This is why research in this field is still developing and different approaches are proposed. This presents a systematic review of the different proposals for inertial motion analysis found in the literature. The search strategy has been carried out on eight different platforms, including journal articles and conference proceedings, which are written in English and published until August 2022. The results are analyzed in terms of the publishers, the sensors used, the applications, the monitored units, the algorithms of use, the participants of the studies, and the validation systems employed. In addition, we delve deeply into the machine learning techniques proposed in recent years and in the approaches to reduce the estimation error. In this way, we show an overview of the research carried out in this field, going into more detail in recent years, and providing some research directions for future work

description: Biodegradation is an important mechanism of action of phytoremediation systems, but performance evaluation is challenging. We applied metagenomic molecular approaches and compound-specific stable carbon isotope analysis to assess biodegradation of toluene in the vadose zone at an urban pilot field system where hybrid poplars were planted to remediate legacy impacts to an underlying shallow fractured bedrock aquifer. Carbon isotope ratios were compared spatio-temporally between toluene dissolved in groundwater and in the vapor phase. Enrichment of 13C from toluene in the vapor phase compared to groundwater provided evidence for biodegradation in the vadose zone. Total bacterial abundance (16S rRNA) and abundance and expression of degradation genes were determined in rhizosphere soil (DNA and RNA) and roots (DNA) using quantitative PCR. Relative abundances of degraders in the rhizosphere were on average higher at greater depths, except for enrichment of PHE-encoding communities that more strongly followed patterns of toluene concentrations detected. Quantification of RMO and PHE gene transcripts supported observations of active aerobic toluene degradation. Finally, spatially-variable numbers of toluene degraders were detected in poplar roots. We present multiple lines of evidence for biodegradation in the vadose zone at this site, contributing to our understanding of mechanisms of action of the phytoremediation system.

description: Hydroxylated polychlorinated biphenyls (OH-PCBs) are toxic contaminants produced by biotic or abiotic transformation of PCBs. In this study, we have tested the toxicity of 2,5-dichlorobiphenyl (2,5-DCB) and three of its OH-derivatives, 2′-OH-, 3′-OH-, and 4′-OH-2,5-DCB toward the model plant, Arabidopsis thaliana. Toxicity tests showed that the parent 2,5-DCB (5 mg L−1) had little effect on the plants, while all three OH-metabolites (5 mg L−1) exhibited a significant toxicity, with 4′-OH-2,5-DCB being the most potent (inhibition concentration 50%–IC50 in germination tests = 9.8 mg L−1 for 2′-OH-2,5-DCB, 9.5 mg L−1 for 3′-OH-2,5-DCB, and 4.8 mg L−1 for 4′-OH-2,5-DCB). Whole-genome expression microarrays (Affymetrix) showed that exposure to the three OH-PCBs resulted in rather similar expression patterns, which were distinct from the one developing in response to 2,5-DCB. Searching an Arabidopsis microarray database (Genevestigator) revealed that, unlike the parent compound, the three OH-derivatives induced expression profiles similar to inhibitors of brassinosteroid synthesis (i.e., brassinazole, propiconazole, and uniconazole), resulting in severe iron deficiency in exposed plants. Our results suggest that the higher phytotoxicity of OH-derivatives as compared to 2,5-DCB is at least partly explained by the inhibition of the brassinosteroid pathway.

description: We discuss some aspects of the pressure (or interaction) driven Mott transition, in three dimensional transition metal oxides by means of dynami cal mean field theory. We isolate the universal properties of the transition from the aspects which depend more on the detailed chemistry of the compounds. In this light we can understand the main differences and the remarkable similarities between these systems. Both theory and experiment converge on the transfer of spectral weight from low energies to high energies as the universal mechanism underlying the Mott transition, and we comment on the possible relevance of these ideas to other metal to non metal transitions.

description: Abstract

The focus of this research aims to determine the transformation of governance in the real joint business sector and social media technology transfer on the performance of culinary businesses after the Covid-19 pandemic in South Sulawesi under the guidance of the South Sulawesi Cooperatives and Small Business Service and the influence of social media as a moderating variable in the relationship between joint business and technology transfer. Social information on the performance of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises in the real sector. Research data was obtained from 350 respondents who were Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises assisted by the South Sulawesi Cooperatives and Small Business Service in 2023. The research was carried out by distributing questionnaires via Google Forms and the data was processed using Partial Least Square (PLS). The research results show that the transformation of governance in the real (culinary) sector, orientation towards joint business and technology transfer on social media, has an influence on business performance in the culinary sector after the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. In this research, it was also found that technology transfer for digital marketing in the social media variable did not moderate the relationship between customer orientation and the performance of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises during the post-Covid-19 pandemic period.
Exchange grid & multi-ice categories coupling: comparison of two flux computation strategies
Creators: name: Maisonnave Eric
name: Voldoire Aurore
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019

description: We evaluate the impact on fluxes over ice, particularly non solar heat, and the coupled effects to the NEMO/GELATO ocean/sea-ice model, of a separate flux calculation by SURFEX for each of the five ice categories represented in the GELATO ice model. We compare these effects with those produced by a flux computing via an exchange grid. The significance of the results is too small to conclude to the relative level of relevance of an implementation in ARPEGE of the exchange grid in one hand, and of the separate coupling of multi-ice category surface field on the other hand, but it could be established that (i) spatial ice temperature variability under atmosphere mesh is bigger than variability of per category ice temperature interpolated on the same atmosphere grid point, but its average temperature is smaller and, consequently, (ii) one year integrated effect of exchange grid fluxes in ocean modifies, although marginally, total ice volume in both Arctic and Antarctic regions, which is less significantly the case for multi-ice category coupling

On Simplified 3D Finite Element Simulations of Three-core Armored Power Cables

description: This paper analyzes different ways to simulate electromagnetically three-core armored cables in 3D by means of the finite element method. Full periodic models, as lengthy as 36 m, are developed to evaluate the accuracy when simulating only a small portion of the cable, as commonly employed in the literature. The adequate length and boundary conditions for having the same accuracy of full periodic models are also studied. To this aim, five medium voltage and high voltage armored cables are analyzed, obtaining the minimum length of the cable that may be simulated for having accurate results in shorter time and with less computational burden. This also results in the proposal of a new method comprising the advantages of short geometries and the applicability of periodic boundary conditions. Its accuracy is compared with experimental measurements and the IEC standard for 145 kV and 245 kV cables. The results show a very good agreement between simulations and measurements (errors below 4 %), obtaining a reduction in the computation time of about 90 %. This new method brings a more effective tool for saving time and computational resources in cable design and the development of new analytical expressions for improving the IEC standard.
