description: Early identification of immunoglobulin light-chain amyloidosis (AL) is crucial due to its rapid progression. Monoclonal light-chain (M-LC) testing is the first step in the diagnostic workup for patients with suspected cardiac amyloidosis (CA). We aimed to determine whether the time interval between the first CA suspicion and M-LC testing can be related to AL amyloidosis survival outcomes. All patients (n = 94) with isolated cardiac AL amyloidosis diagnosed at our center between 2016 and 2020 were included. Those with pre-existing known monoclonal protein (monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance or smoldering multiple myeloma) were excluded. Time intervals to diagnostic tests and diagnosis were calculated and assessed for their survival prediction ability. The time interval between first CA suspicion (on echocardiography) and M-LC testing correlated with early mortality, and the best cutoff predicting survival, was 6 weeks. The 26 patients (∼28% of entire cohort) who underwent M-LC-studies >6 weeks after first suspicion more frequently presented Mayo stage IIIb (65% vs. 35%, p = .008), showing poorer overall survival than those (n = 68, 72%) referred for early M-LC studies (median 3 vs. 14 months, p = .039). Monoclonal protein testing should be the first-step in the diagnostic workup for patients with echocardiographic/other instrumental red flags raising CA suspicion.

description: The purpose of this paper is to investigate forcing as a tool to construct universal models. In particular, we look at theories of initial segments of the universe and show that any model of a sufficiently rich fragment of those theories can be embedded into a model constructed by forcing. Our results rely on the model-theoretic properties of good ultrafilters, for which we provide a new existence proof on non-necessarily complete Boolean algebras.

description: Numerous studies suggest a progressive accumulation of post-translationally modified peptides within amyloid fibrils, including isoaspartate (isoD) modifications. Here, we generated and characterised novel monoclonal antibodies targeting isoD-modified transthyretin (TTR). The antibodies were used to investigate the presence of isoD-modified TTR in deposits from transthyretin amyloidosis patients and to mediate antibody-dependent phagocytosis of TTR fibrils. Monoclonal antibodies were generated by immunisation of mice using an isoD-modified peptide and subsequent hybridoma generation. The antibodies were characterised in terms of affinity and specificity to isoD-modified TTR using surface plasmon resonance, transmission electron microscopy and immunohistochemical staining of human cardiac tissue. The potential to elicit antibody-dependent phagocytosis of TTR fibrils was assessed using THP-1 cells. We developed two mouse monoclonal antibodies, 2F2 and 4D4, with high nanomolar affinity for isoD-modified TTR and strong selectivity over the unmodified epitope. Both antibodies show presence of isoD-modified TTR in human cardiac tissue, but not in freshly purified recombinant TTR, suggesting isoD modification only present in aged fibrillar deposits. Likewise, the antibodies only facilitated phagocytosis of TTR fibrils and not TTR monomers by THP-1 cells. These antibodies label aged, non-native TTR deposits, leaving native TTR unattended and thereby potentially enabling new therapeutic approaches.

description: Expectation values of observables are routinely estimated using so-called classical shadows$\unicode{x2014}$the outcomes of randomized bases measurements on a repeatedly prepared quantum state. In order to trust the accuracy of shadow estimation in practice, it is crucial to understand the behavior of the estimators under realistic noise. In this work, we prove that any shadow estimation protocol involving Clifford unitaries is stable under gate-dependent noise for observables with bounded stabilizer norm$\unicode{x2014}$originally introduced in the context of simulating Clifford circuits. In contrast, we demonstrate with concrete examples that estimation of `magic` observables can lead to highly misleading results in the presence of miscalibration errors and a worst case bias scaling exponentially in the system size. We further find that so-called robust shadows, aiming at mitigating noise, can introduce a large bias in the presence of gate-dependent noise compared to unmitigated classical shadows. Nevertheless, we guarantee the functioning of robust shadows for a more general noise setting than in previous works. On a technical level, we identify average noise channels that affect shadow estimators and allow for a more fine-grained control of noise-induced biases.

description: In this paper, we study finiteness criteria for the Gorenstein homological dimension of groups over a commutative ring of finite Gorenstein weak global dimension and provide estimates for the Gorenstein weak global dimension of group rings. As a result, we obtain Gorenstein analogues of well known properties in classical homological algebra over large families of infinite groups. Moreover, we prove that over a commutative ring of finite Gorenstein weak global dimension, the Gorenstein cohomological dimension of a group G bounds its Gorenstein homological dimension. Finally, we compare the generalized cohomological dimension and the generalized homological dimension of a group.

description: The Design Structure Matrix (DSM) is an established method used in dependency modelling, especially in the design of complex engineering systems. The generation of DSM is traditionally carried out through manual means and can involve interviewing experts to elicit critical system elements and the relationships between them. Such manual approaches can be time-consuming and costly. This paper presents a workflow that uses a Large Language Model (LLM) to support the generation of DSM and improve productivity. A prototype of the workflow was developed in this work and applied on a diesel engine DSM published previously. It was found that the prototype could reproduce 357 out of 462 DSM entries published (i.e. 77.3%), suggesting that the work can aid DSM generation. A no-code version of the prototype is made available online to support future research.

description: We develop principal branches for three key square root functions and for the inverse trigonometric and inverse hyperbolic functions. The three square root branches are integral to defining the inverse function branches, their derivatives, and their antiderivatives. Complex analysis is used to turn the definitions of the principal branches into concrete expressions. We take the standard reference in this area to be the NIST Digital Library of Mathematical Functions (DLMF). We adopt the notation for, and the definitions of, the principal branches of the inverse functions in the DLMF. Our goal is to widen the scope of the results in the DLMF while at the same time lowering the complex variables burden on the average DLMF user.

description: Discovering the symbols and rules that can be used in long-horizon planning from a robot's unsupervised exploration of its environment and continuous sensorimotor experience is a challenging task. The previous studies proposed learning symbols from single or paired object interactions and planning with these symbols. In this work, we propose a system that learns rules with discovered object and relational symbols that encode an arbitrary number of objects and the relations between them, converts those rules to Planning Domain Description Language (PDDL), and generates plans that involve affordances of the arbitrary number of objects to achieve tasks. We validated our system with box-shaped objects in different sizes and showed that the system can develop a symbolic knowledge of pick-up, carry, and place operations, taking into account object compounds in different configurations, such as boxes would be carried together with a larger box that they are placed on. We also compared our method with the state-of-the-art methods and showed that planning with the operators defined over relational symbols gives better planning performance compared to the baselines.

description: Given a graph $G$, the optimization version of the graph burning problem seeks for a sequence of vertices, $(u_1,u_2,...,u_p) \in V(G)^p$, with minimum $p$ and such that every $v \in V(G)$ has distance at most $p-i$ to some vertex $u_i$. The length $p$ of the optimal solution is known as the burning number and is denoted by $b(G)$, an invariant that helps quantify the graph's vulnerability to contagion. This paper explores the advantages and limitations of an $\mathcal{O}(mn + pn^2)$ deterministic greedy heuristic for this problem, where $n$ is the graph's order, $m$ is the graph's size, and $p$ is a guess on $b(G)$. This heuristic is based on the relationship between the graph burning problem and the clustered maximum coverage problem, and despite having limitations on paths and cycles, it found most of the optimal and best-known solutions of benchmark and synthetic graphs with up to 102400 vertices. Beyond practical advantages, our work unveils some of the fundamental aspects of graph burning: its relationship with a generalization of a classical coverage problem and compact integer programs. With this knowledge, better algorithms might be designed in the future.

description: We present a theory unifying the topological responses and anomalies of various gapless fermion systems exhibiting Fermi surfaces, including those with Berry phases, and nodal structures, which applies beyond non-interacting limit. As our key finding, we obtain a general approach to directly relate gapless fermions and topological insulators in phase space, including first- and higher-order insulators. Using this relation we show that the low-energy properties and response theories for gapless fermionic systems can be directly obtained without resorting to microscopic details. Our results provide a unified framework for describing such systems using well-developed theories from the study of topological phases of matter.

description: In this paper, we study asymptotic symmetries and algebraically special exact solutions in the Newman-Penrose formalism. Removing the hypersurface orthogonal condition in the well studied Newman-Unti gauge, we obtain a generic asymptotic solution space which includes all possible origins of propagating degree of freedom. The asymptotic symmetry of the generalized system extends the Weyl-BMS symmetry by two independent local Lorentz transformations with non-trivial boundary charges, which reveals new boundary degrees of freedom. The generalized Newman-Unti gauge includes algebraically special condition in its most convenient form. Remarkably, the generic solutions satisfying the algebraically special condition truncate in the inverse power of radial expansions and the non-radial Newman-Penrose equations are explicitly solved at any order. Hence, we provide the most general algebraically special solution space and the derivation is self-contained in the Newman-Penrose formalism. The asymptotic symmetry with respect to the algebraically special condition is the standard Weyl-BMS symmetry and the symmetry parameters consist only the integration constant order. We present the Kerr solution and Taub-NUT solution in the generalized Newman-Unti gauge in a simple form.

description: Collective effects, such as Dicke superradiant emission, can enhance the performance of a quantum device. Here, we study the heat current flowing between a cold and a hot bath through an ensemble of $N$ qubits, which are collectively coupled to the thermal baths. We find a regime where the collective coupling leads to a quadratic scaling of the heat current with $N$ in a finite-size scenario. Conversely, when approaching the thermodynamic limit, we prove that the collective scenario exhibits a parametric enhancement over the non-collective case. We then consider the presence of a third uncontrolled {\it parasitic} bath, interacting locally with each qubit, that models unavoidable couplings to the external environment. Despite having a non-perturbative effect on the steady-state currents, we show that the collective enhancement is robust to such an addition. Finally, we discuss the feasibility of realizing such a Dicke heat valve with superconducting circuits. Our findings indicate that in a minimal realistic experimental setting with two superconducting qubits, the collective advantage offers an enhancement of approximately $10\%$ compared to the non-collective scenario.

We demonstrate that, if incorporate local-scale symmetry into the variational procedure, it is not required that the trace of the stress-energy tensor of the matter fields vanished for this symmetry to be preserved. The relevance of this result for the understanding of local-scale symmetry along with its physical consequences, is discussed.

description: Observations of neutron star mergers have the potential to unveil detailed physics of matter and gravity in regimes inaccessible by other experiments. Quantitative comparisons to theory and parameter estimation require nonlinear numerical simulations. However, the detailed physics of energy and momentum transfer between different scales, and the formation and interaction of small scale structures, which can be probed by detectors, are not captured by current simulations. This is where turbulence enters neutron star modelling. This review will outline the theory and current status of turbulence modelling for relativistic neutron star merger simulations.

description: Computational methods and associated software implementations are central to every field of scientific investigation. Modern biological research, particularly within systems biology, has relied heavily on the development of software tools to process and organize increasingly large datasets, simulate complex mechanistic models, provide tools for the analysis and management of data, and visualize and organize outputs. However, developing high-quality research software requires scientists to develop a host of software development skills, and teaching these skills to students is challenging. There has been a growing importance placed on ensuring reproducibility and good development practices in computational research. However, less attention has been devoted to informing the specific teaching strategies which are effective at nurturing in researchers the complex skillset required to produce high-quality software that, increasingly, is required to underpin both academic and industrial biomedical research. Recent articles in the Ten Simple Rules collection have discussed the teaching of foundational computer science and coding techniques to biology students. We advance this discussion by describing the specific steps for effectively teaching the necessary skills scientists need to develop sustainable software packages which are fit for (re-)use in academic research or more widely. Although our advice is likely to be applicable to all students and researchers hoping to improve their software development skills, our guidelines are directed towards an audience of students that have some programming literacy but little formal training in software development or engineering, typical of early doctoral students. These practices are also applicable outside of doctoral training environments, and we believe they should form a key part of postgraduate training schemes more generally in the life sciences.

description: Smith et al discovered an aperiodic monotile of 13-sided shape in 2023. It is called the `Smith hat' and consists of 8 kites. We deal with the statistical physics of the lattice of the kites, which we call the `Smith-kite lattice'. We studied the Ising model on the aperiodic Smith-kite lattice and the dual Smith-kite lattice using Monte Carlo simulations. We combined the Swendsen-Wang multi-cluster algorithm and the replica exchange method. We simulated systems up to the total spin number $939201$. Using the finite-size scaling analysis, we estimated the critical temperature on the Smith-kite lattice as $T_c/J=2.405 \pm 0.0005$ and that of the dual Smith-kite lattice as $T^{*}_{c}/J=2.143 \pm 0.0005$. Moreover, we confirmed the duality relation between the critical temperatures on the dual pair of aperiodic lattices, $\sinh(2J/T_c) \sinh(2J/T^{*}_{c}) = 1.000 \pm 0.001$. We also checked the duality relation for the nearest-neighbor correlation at the critical temperature, essentially the energy, $ε(T_c)/\coth(2J/T_c) + ε(T^{*}_c)/\coth(2J/T^{*}_c) = 1.000 \pm 0.001$.

description: Cross-stream migration of a deformable bubble is investigated computationally in a pressure-driven channel flow of a viscoelastic fluid via interface-resolved simulations. The flow equations are solved fully coupled with the Giesekus model equations using the front-tracking method and extensive simulations are performed for a wide range of flow parameters to reveal the effects of bubble deformability, fluid elasticity, shear-thinning, and fluid inertia on the bubble migration dynamics. Migration rate of a bubble is found to be much higher than that of a solid particle under similar flow conditions mainly due to free-slip condition on its surface. It is observed that direction of bubble migration can be altered by varying shear-thinning of the ambient fluid. With a strong shear-thinning, the bubble migrates towards the wall while it migrates towards the center of the channel in a purely elastic fluid without shear-thinning. An onset of elastic flow instability is observed beyond a critical Weissenberg number, which in turn causes a path instability even for a nearly spherical bubble. An inertial path instability is also observed once bubble deformation exceeds a critical value. Shear-thinning is found to be suppressing the path instability in a viscoelastic fluid with a high polymer concentration whereas it reverses its role and promotes path instability in a dilute polymer solution. It is found that bubble migration towards wall induces a secondary flow with a velocity that is about an order of magnitude higher than the one induced by a solid particle under similar flow conditions.

description: Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) are typically assessed using expensive annotated multimodal benchmarks, which often lag behind the rapidly evolving demands of MLLM evaluation. This paper outlines and validates GenCeption, a novel, annotation-free evaluation method that requires only unimodal data to measure inter-modality semantic coherence and inversely assesses MLLMs' tendency to hallucinate. This approach eliminates the need for costly data annotation, minimizes the risk of training data contamination, is expected to result in slower benchmark saturation, and avoids the illusion of emerging abilities. Inspired by the DrawCeption game, GenCeption begins with a non-textual sample and proceeds through iterative description and generation steps. The semantic drift across iterations is quantified using the GC@T metric. While GenCeption is principally applicable to MLLMs across various modalities, this paper focuses on its implementation and validation for Vision LLMs (VLLMs). Based on the GenCeption method, we establish the MMECeption benchmark for evaluating VLLMs, and compare the performance of several popular VLLMs and human annotators. Our empirical results validate GenCeption's effectiveness, demonstrating strong correlations with established VLLM benchmarks. VLLMs still significantly lag behind human performance and struggle especially with text-intensive tasks.

Charge-conjugation asymmetry and molecular content: the $D_{s0}^\ast(2317)^\pm$ in matter

description: We analyze the modifications that a dense nuclear medium induces in the $D_{s0}^\ast(2317)^\pm$ and $D_{s1}(2460)^\pm$. In the vacuum, we consider them as isoscalar $D^{(*)}K$ and $\overline{D}{}^{(*)}\overline{K}$ $S$-wave bound states, which are dynamically generated from effective interactions that lead to different Weinberg compositeness scenarios. Matter effects are incorporated through the two-meson loop functions, taking into account the self energies that the $D^{(*)}$, $\overline{D}{}^{(*)}$, $K$, and $\overline{K}$ develop when embedded in a nuclear medium. Although particle-antiparticle [$D^{(\ast)}_{s0,s1}(2317,2460)^+$ versus $D^{(\ast)}_{s0,s1}(2317,2460)^-$] lineshapes are the same in vacuum, we find extremely different density patterns in matter. This charge-conjugation asymmetry mainly stems from the very different kaon and antikaon interaction with the nucleons of the dense medium. We show that the in-medium lineshapes found for these resonances strongly depend on their $D^{(*)}K$/$\overline{D}{}^{(*)}\overline{K}$ molecular content, and discuss how this novel feature can be used to better determine/constrain the inner structure of these exotic states.

description: In the digital age, taxonomic data can be extracted from scientific publications and turned into FAIR data - findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable information. Then, this data is deposited in several internet repositories focused on different aspects of biodiversity. TreatmentBank (TB) is a service provided by Plazi to liberate data related to taxonomic treatments from scholarly publications, and convert, enhance, link, store, and disseminate it as FAIR data. Information extracted and liberated by Plazi is a source to Biodiversity Literature Repository (BLR) — a biodiversity information community in Zenodo — which mints persistent identifiers to the data, as well as compose datasets of articles and geographic distribution occurrences to Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF).

Collaborators and all the scientific community can be part of Plazi’s mission of supporting and promoting the development of persistent and openly accessible digital taxonomic literature by using the searching tools provided and reusing the information that is available in various formats. Through Plazi’s database, users may find several information regarding taxonomic treatments, that is, any taxonomic name associated with specific information such as descriptions, distributions, materials citations, synonymic lists, images, tables, and bibliographic references. Plazi has also a text-based, certificate granting online learning material for individual extractions. Data extraction consists in (1) searching for a specific information inside a document; (2) highlighting and analyzing it; and (3) making it available in other repositories or formats. Users can employ Plazi data to assess their own contribution to biodiversity knowledge, or create dashboards about any researcher, journal, institution, or taxonomic group that had information extracted by Plazi members and collaborators. Furthermore, Plazi hosts a community repository on Github that is the go-to open hub for external contributions, where users can post comments or requests that are addressed by the Plazi team as soon as possible.

description: In school recess, a lack of playful interaction patterns can be seen as an indicator as well as a cause of exclusion. Results of a research project show that by providing a secure frame, which is inclusive for all children, a teacher or play tutor can further the learning and habitualization of playful interaction patterns, which themselves lead to better relations in class.

description: We present a new methodology for decomposing flows with multiple transports that further extends the shifted proper orthogonal decomposition (sPOD). The sPOD tries to approximate transport-dominated flows by a sum of co-moving data fields. The proposed methods stem from sPOD but optimize the co-moving fields directly and penalize their nuclear norm to promote low rank of the individual data in the decomposition. Furthermore, we add a robustness term to the decomposition that can deal with interpolation error and data noises. Leveraging tools from convex optimization, we derive three proximal algorithms to solve the decomposition problem. We report a numerical comparison with existing methods against synthetic data benchmarks and then show the separation ability of our methods on 1D and 2D incompressible and reactive flows. The resulting methodology is the basis of a new analysis paradigm that results in the same interpretability as the POD for the individual co-moving fields.

description: Data augmentation is arguably the most important regularization technique commonly used to improve generalization performance of machine learning models. It primarily involves the application of appropriate data transformation operations to create new data samples with desired properties. Despite its effectiveness, the process is often challenging because of the time-consuming trial and error procedures for creating and testing different candidate augmentations and their hyperparameters manually. State-of-the-art approaches are increasingly relying on automated machine learning (AutoML) principles. This work presents a comprehensive survey of AutoML-based data augmentation techniques. We discuss various approaches for accomplishing data augmentation with AutoML, including data manipulation, data integration and data synthesis techniques. The focus of this work is on image data augmentation methods. Nonetheless, we cover other data modalities, especially in cases where the specific data augmentations techniques being discussed are more suitable for these other modalities. For instance, since automated data integration methods are more suitable for tabular data, we cover tabular data in the discussion of data integration methods. The work also presents extensive discussion of techniques for accomplishing each of the major subtasks of the image data augmentation process: search space design, hyperparameter optimization and model evaluation. Finally, we carried out an extensive comparison and analysis of the performance of automated data augmentation techniques and state-of-the-art methods based on classical augmentation approaches. The results show that AutoML methods for data augmentation currently outperform state-of-the-art techniques based on conventional approaches.
