description: We consider the range-based localization problem, which involves estimating an object's position by using $m$ sensors, hoping that as the number $m$ of sensors increases, the estimate converges to the true position with the minimum variance. We show that under some conditions on the sensor deployment and measurement noises, the LS estimator is strongly consistent and asymptotically normal. However, the LS problem is nonsmooth and nonconvex, and therefore hard to solve. We then devise realizable estimators that possess the same asymptotic properties as the LS one. These estimators are based on a two-step estimation architecture, which says that any $\sqrt{m}$-consistent estimate followed by a one-step Gauss-Newton iteration can yield a solution that possesses the same asymptotic property as the LS one. The keypoint of the two-step scheme is to construct a $\sqrt{m}$-consistent estimate in the first step. In terms of whether the variance of measurement noises is known or not, we propose the Bias-Eli estimator (which involves solving a generalized trust region subproblem) and the Noise-Est estimator (which is obtained by solving a convex problem), respectively. Both of them are proved to be $\sqrt{m}$-consistent. Moreover, we show that by discarding the constraints in the above two optimization problems, the resulting closed-form estimators (called Bias-Eli-Lin and Noise-Est-Lin) are also $\sqrt{m}$-consistent. Plenty of simulations verify the correctness of our theoretical claims, showing that the proposed two-step estimators can asymptotically achieve the Cramer-Rao lower bound.

description: This study investigates price relationships along the Norwegian salmon value chains in France, the EU’s leading consumption market for salmon, and Poland, the EU’s largest “processing hub.” Using a vector error correction model framework, our results indicate that the salmon price determination is a supplier-driven process, with the export prices in Norway influencing prices in France and Poland, but not vice versa. Results also suggest that price linkages are strong between the export market in Norway and the retail market in France and the processing industry in Poland; however, the Polish retail sector is separated from markets at the upstream level, while price discovery at the French wholesale market is dominated by the retail market. Our findings imply that the evolved market structures lead to efficiently functioning retail markets in France and wholesale markets in Poland, but put the French wholesale and Polish retail markets at a disadvantage.

description: Traditional computation based on von Neumann architecture is limited by the time and energy consumption due to data transfer between the storage and the processing units. The von Neumann architecture is also inefficient in solving unstructured, probabilistic, and real-time problems. To address these challenges, a new brain-inspired neuromorphic computational architecture is required. Due to absence of resistance-capacitance (RC) delay, high bandwidth and low power consumption, optoelectronic artificial synaptic devices are highly attractive. Yet stable, scalable, and complementary-metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS)-compatible synapses have not been demonstrated. In this work, persistence in the photoconductivity of undoped and magnesium-doped scandium nitride (ScN) is equated to the inhibitory and excitatory synaptic plasticity of the biological synapses responsible for memory and learning. Primary functionalities of a biological synapse like short-term memory (STM), long-term memory (LTM), the transition from STM-to-LTM, learning and forgetting, frequency-selective optical filtering, frequency-dependent potentiation and depression, Hebbian learning, and logic gate operations are demonstrated.

description: This study investigates the effectiveness of sustainability labels, environmental attitudes, food safety concerns, and knowledge on Vietnamese consumer preferences for sustainably farmed shrimp. Mixed logit and latent class models were applied to estimate utility functions based on 459 samples collected using a choice experiment. The results indicate that Vietnamese consumers prefer sustainably farmed shrimp to conventionally farmed shrimp. Also, both food safety concerns and consumer knowledge vigorously promote sustainably farmed shrimp choices. Notably, the latent class results show that 73.5% of the respondents consider their environmental concerns about shrimp production when making decisions about consumption. The results indicate that placing information related to eco-friendly and food safety attributes on sustainability labels provides Vietnamese consumers with additional choices in the form of sustainably farmed shrimp. Finally, the simulated MXL results in the WTP space are more significant than those in the preference space, indicating that it is necessary to estimate the MXL in the WTP space to avoid specifying the parameter distribution subjectively by analysts.

description: Determining the equilibrium configuration and shape of curved two-dimensional films with (generalized) liquid crystalline (LC) order is a difficult infinite dimensional problem of direct relevance to the study of generalized polymersomes, soft matter and the fascinating problem of understanding the origin and formation of shape (morphogenesis). The symmetry of the free energy of the LC film being considered and the topology of the surface to be determined often requires that the equilibrium configuration possesses singular structures in the form of topological defects such as disclinations for nematic films. The precise number and type of defect plays a fundamental role in restricting the space of possible equilibrium shapes. Flexible closed vesicles with spherical topology and nematic or smectic order, for example, inevitably possess four elementary strength $+1/2$ disclination defects positioned at the four vertices of a tetrahedral shell. Here we address the problem of determining the equilibrium shape of flexible vesicles with generalized LC order. The order parameter in these cases is an element of $S^1/Z_p$, for any positive integer $p$. We will focus on the case $p =3$, known as triatic LCs. We construct the appropriate order parameter for triatics and find the associated free energy. We then describe the structure of the elementary defects of strength $+1/3$ in flat space. Finally, we prove that sufficiently floppy triatic vesicles with the topology of the 2-sphere equilibrate to octahedral shells with strength $+1/3$ defects at each of the six vertices, independently of scale.

description: Paclitaxel, a potent chemotherapeutic agent, is extensively used in the treatment of breast cancer,
 one of the most prevalent forms of cancer worldwide. Despite its efficacy, a significant challenge in the
 clinical use of paclitaxel is its association with peripheral neuropathy, a severe and often debilitating
 side effect that can dramatically affect patients' quality of life. This neuropathy is characterized by
 numbness, tingling, or pain in the patient's hands and feet, limiting their daily activities and often
 necessitating dose reduction or treatment discontinuation.
 Currently, the capacity to predict which patients are more likely to develop Paclitaxel-induced PN is
 lacking. This inability to forecast this adverse effect hampers the clinicians' ability to personalize
 treatment plans, potentially compromising treatment efficacy and patient quality of life.
 To address this critical gap, our project aims to explore the blood serum glycoproteome of patients prior
 to paclitaxel treatment who had acquired paclitaxel neuropathy or whose treatment had not caused these
 issues. Glycoproteomics, the study of changes in the glycosylation status of proteins, holds promise in
 uncovering potential biomarkers for disease states and responses to treatment. We hypothesize that
 distinct patterns of protein glycosylation could signal an elevated risk of developing peripheral
 neuropathy in response to paclitaxel treatment.
 Following our in-depth glycoproteomic investigation, our plan is to use machine learning methods to
 determine whether there is a particular combination of these proteoforms that could serve as a predictive
 model for paclitaxel-induced peripheral neuropathy.

description: In this paper we explore a recently emerged approach to the problem of quantisation based on the notion of quantisation ideals. We explicitly prove that the nonabelian Volterra together with the whole hierarchy of its symmetries admit a deformation quantisation. We show that all odd-degree symmetries of the Volterra hierarchy admit also a non-deformation quantisation. We discuss the quantisation problem for periodic Volterra hierarchy including their quantum Hamiltonians, central elements of the quantised algebras, and demonstrate super-integrability of the quantum systems obtained. We show that the Volterra system with period $3$ admits a bi-quantum structure, which can be regarded as a quantum deformation of its classical bi-Hamiltonian structure.

description: We simulate the decay of isolated, spherically symmetric droplets in a cosmological phase transition. It has long been posited that such heated droplets of the metastable state could form, and they have recently been observed in 3D multi-bubble simulations. In those simulations, the droplets were associated with a reduction in the wall velocity and a decrease in the kinetic energy of the fluid, with a consequent suppression in the gravitational wave power spectrum. In the present work, we track the wall speed and kinetic energy production in isolated droplets and compare them to those found in multi-bubble collisions. The late-time wall velocities that we observe match those of the 3D simulations, though we find that the spherical simulations are a poor predictor of the kinetic energy production. This implies that spherically symmetric simulations could be used to refine baryogenesis predictions due to the formation of droplets, but not to estimate any accompanying suppression of the gravitational wave signal.

description: The thrust of this research is the study of strongly interacting Fermi gases at the interface between condensed matter physics and the physics of ultracold atomic gases. A particular emphasis is placed on how strong few-body correlations in these systems impact the many-body behavior. The first half of this thesis comprises three theoretical studies on cold atoms: Fermi gases with SU(N) symmetry, how to engineer long-lived trimers, and frustrated Feshbach resonances. The second half contains three theoretical studies in the solid state: electron-exciton interactions in doped two-dimensional semiconductors, exciton-polaritons in quantum wells of finite width, and Rydberg exciton-polaritons in magnetic fields.

description: We study the dynamics of isospectral granular chains that are highly tunable due to the nonlinear Hertz contact law interaction between the granular particles. The system dynamics can thus be tuned easily from being linear to strongly nonlinear by adjusting the initial compression applied to the chain. In particular, we introduce both discrete and continuous spectral transformation schemes to generate a family of granular chains that are isospectral in their linear limit. Inspired by the principle of supersymmetry in quantum systems, we also introduce a methodology to add or remove certain eigenfrequencies, and we demonstrate numerically that the corresponding physical system can be constructed in the setting of one-dimensional granular crystals. In the linear regime, we highlight the commonalities and differences in the elastic wave transmission characteristics of such isospectral systems, and emphasize that the presented mathematical framework allows one to suitably tailor the wave transmission through a general class of granular chains. Moreover, we show how the dynamic response of these structures deviates from its linear limit as we introduce Hertzian nonlinearity in the chain and how nonlinearity breaks the notion of linear isospectrality.

description: The detection of the binary black hole merger GW190521, with primary black hole mass $85^{+21}_{-14}$ ${\rm M}_{\odot}$, proved the existence of black holes in the theoretically predicted pair-instability gap ($\sim60-120 \, {\rm M}_{\odot}$) of their mass spectrum. Some recent studies suggest that such massive black holes could be produced by the collision of an evolved star with a carbon-oxygen core and a main sequence star. Such a post-coalescence star could end its life avoiding the pair-instability regime and with a direct collapse of its very massive envelope. It is still not clear, however, how the collision shapes the structure of the newly produced star and how much mass is actually lost in the impact. We investigated this issue by means of hydrodynamical simulations with the smoothed particle hydrodynamics code {\sc StarSmasher}, finding that a head-on collision can remove up to 12\% of the initial mass of the colliding stars. This is a non-negligible percentage of the initial mass and could affect the further evolution of the stellar remnant, particularly in terms of the final mass of a possibly forming black hole. We also found that the main sequence star can plunge down to the outer boundary of the core of the primary, changing the inner chemical composition of the remnant. The collision expels the outer layers of the primary, leaving a remnant with an helium-enriched envelope (reaching He fractions of about 0.4 at the surface). These more complex abundance profiles can be directly used in stellar evolution simulations of the collision product.

description: The influenza A virus (IAV) is one of the major respiratory pathogens accountable for seasonal epidemics and global pandemics. Increasing antiviral resistance has presented a dire need for novel and effective antivirals. A paradigm shift in drug design and discovery is now looking into host-directed antiviral therapy. We evaluated the host-virus interplay between IAV nucleoprotein (NP) and host chaperone proteins Hsp90, HspA8, Hsp40 and Hsp27. Following in silico analysis and molecular studies, we revealed the significance of Hsps as a potential antiviral target and broad-spectrum therapeutic agent against not only IAV, but possibly other viral pathogens sharing the same mechanism.

description: We introduce the new concepts of pseu\-do numerical range for operator functions and families of sesquilinear forms as well as the pseu\-do block numerical range for $n \times n$ operator matrix functions. While these notions are new even in the bounded case, we cover operator polynomials with unbounded coefficients, unbounded holomorphic form families of type (a) and associated operator families of type (B). Our main results include spectral inclusion properties of pseudo numerical ranges and pseudo block numerical ranges. For diagonally dominant and off-diagonally dominant operator matrices they allow us to prove spectral enclosures in terms of the pseudo numerical ranges of Schur complements that no longer require dominance order $0$ and not even $<1$. As an application, we establish a new type of spectral bounds for linearly damped wave equations with possibly unbounded and/or singular damping.

description: Divergent triple junctions are the most stable configuration among the different triple junctions and occur when three rifts or oceanic ridges converge. While the oceanic triple junctions are stable for a long time, the prior continental rifting stage implies divergence in three directions, yet how it reconciles with the basic tenets of plate tectonics of rifts forming between two separating continents remains unclear. This thesis uses 3D analog and numerical geodynamic modeling techniques to investigate the roles of kinematic boundary conditions and internal lithospheric heterogeneities on propagating rifts, how divergent triple junctions evolve, and their associated complex rift structures.

description: We show that the anomalous dimension $γ_G$ of the scalar glueball operator contains information on the mechanism that leads to the onset of conformality at the lower edge of the conformal window in a non-Abelian gauge theory. In particular, it distinguishes whether the merging of an UV and an IR fixed point -- the simplest mechanism associated to a conformal phase transition and preconformal scaling -- does or does not occur. At the same time, we shed light on new analogies between QCD and its supersymmetric version. In SQCD, we derive an exact relation between $γ_G$ and the mass anomalous dimension $γ_m$, and we prove that the SQCD exact beta function is incompatible with merging as a consequence of the $a$-theorem; we also derive the general conditions that the latter imposes on the existence of fixed points, and prove the absence of an UV fixed point at nonzero coupling above the conformal window of SQCD. Perhaps not surprisingly, we then show that an exact relation between $γ_G$ and $γ_m$, fully analogous to SQCD, holds for the massless Veneziano limit of large-N QCD. We argue, based on the latter relation, the $a$-theorem, perturbation theory and physical arguments, that the incompatibility with merging may extend to QCD.

description: Soft and collinear radiation is responsible for large corrections to many hadronic cross sections, near thresholds for the production of heavy final states. There is much interest in extending our understanding of this radiation to next-to-leading power (NLP) in the threshold expansion. In this paper, we generalise a previously proposed all-order NLP factorisation formula to include non-abelian corrections. We define a non-abelian radiative jet function, organising collinear enhancements at NLP, and compute it for quark jets at one loop. We discuss in detail the issue of double counting between soft and collinear regions. Finally, we verify our prescription by reproducing all NLP logarithms in Drell-Yan production up to NNLO, including those associated with double real emission. Our results constitute an important step in the development of a fully general resummation formalism for NLP threshold effects.

description: Molecules in molecular junctions are subject to current-induced forces that can break chemical bonds, induce reactions, destabilize molecular geometry, and halt the operation of the junction. Theories behind current-driven molecular dynamics simulations rely on a perturbative time-scale separation within the system with subsequent use of nonequilibrium Green's functions (NEGF) to compute conservative, non-conservative, and stochastic forces exerted by electrons on nuclear degrees of freedom. We analyze the effectiveness of this approximation, paying particular attention to the phenomenon of negative viscosities. The perturbative approximation is directly compared to the nonequilibrium Ehrenfest approach. We introduce a novel time-stepping approach to calculate the forces present in the Ehrenfest method via exact integration of the equations of motion for the nonequilibrium Green's functions, which does not necessitate a time-scale separation within the system and provides an exact description for the corresponding classical dynamics. We observe that negative viscosities are not artifacts of a perturbative treatment but also emerge in Ehrenfest dynamics. However, the effects of negative viscosity have the possibility of being overwhelmed by the predominantly positive dissipation due to the higher-order forces unaccounted for by the perturbative approach. Additionally, we assess the validity of the white-noise approximation for the stochastic forces, finding that it is justifiable in the presence of a clear time-scale separation and is more applicable when the current-carrying molecular orbital is moved outside of the voltage window. Finally, we demonstrate the method for molecular junction models consisting of one and two classical degrees of freedom.
Negative faculty role modelling- is it a reflection of deteriorating societal values?

description: Background: Negative faculty role modelling is an area of growing concern especially due to its implications on medical professionalism. This short communication aims to explore any impact of negative role modelling on the professionalism of medical students in the context of Pakistan.
 Summary of Work: The data is derived from a larger qualitative study exploring impacts of role modelling on professionalism of students*. It is based on Constructivist Grounded Theory involving six semi-structured interviews with clinical faculty and three focus group discussions with 22 students. Initial, focused, selective coding and thematic analysis was used to find the core categories.
 Summary of reults: Three overarching categories were developed: 1. Experiencing negative role modelling- traits observed; 2. Impact of negative role modelling and 3. Factors promoting negative role modelling. Sub-categories of impacts included negative impact on professionalism, emotional impact, and its paradoxical positive impact. Negative role modelling, a manifestation of declining professionalism, was attributed to deteriorating societal values; further compounded by the lack of required mechanisms by institutions and the regulatory authority at their respective levels.
 Discussion and Conclusion: In the absence of a high moral platform at societal level, the burden of responsibility rests with the faculty and more importantly with institutions and regulatory bodies to discourage negative role modelling and educate students to reflect, recognize, and avoid negative behaviours and adopt strong professional values. In light of above findings, faculty must be supported by the institution through faculty development initiatives if they are expected to minimise display of negative role modelling through nonprofessional conduct.

 Take home messages: Deteriorating societal values contribute towards decline of medical professionalism, negative faculty role modelling reflects this deterioration Negative role modelling negatively impacts professionalism of students Faculty must sensitise students to recognise and avoid negative professional behaviours and adopt strong professional values Faculty must be supported by institutions through faculty development initiatives Regulatory bodies and institutions must discourage negative role modelling

description: Given a graph $G$ and a graph property $P$ we say that $G$ is minimal with respect to $P$ if no proper induced subgraph of $G$ has the property $P$. An HC-obstruction is a minimal 2-connected non-Hamiltonian graph. Given a graph $H$, a graph $G$ is $H$-free if $G$ has no induced subgraph isomorphic to $H$. The main motivation for this paper originates from a theorem of Duffus, Gould, and Jacobson (1981), which characterizes all the minimal connected graphs with no Hamiltonian path. In 1998, Brousek characterized all the claw-free HC-obstructions. On a similar note, Chiba and Furuya (2021), characterized all (not only the minimal) 2-connected non-Hamiltonian $\{K_{1,3}, N_{3,1,1}\}$-free graphs. Recently, Cheriyan, Hajebi, and two of us (2022), characterized all triangle-free HC-obstructions and all the HC-obstructions which are split graphs. A wheel is a graph obtained from a cycle by adding a new vertex with at least three neighbors in the cycle. In this paper we characterize all the HC-obstructions which are wheel-free graphs.

Investigating Rpf-dependency in Mycobacteria

description: Mycobacterium tuberculosis is the causative agent of tuberculosis (TB) in humans and one of the leading causes of death in the world. M. tuberculosis can become dormant, and some dormant bacteria are differentially culturable because they cannot form colonies on agar but resuscitate liquid media. Moreover, resuscitation promoting factors (Rpf), a family of secreted peptidoglycan cleaving enzymes, are required for the resuscitation of certain differentially culturable bacilli. Rpf-dependent M. tuberculosis have been detected in infected mice, individuals with active TB and treated TB patients. These differentially culturable M. tuberculosis bacilli have been linked to TB relapse in mice and humans; however, the precise host factors that trigger Rpf-dependency are currently unknown. The central hypothesis of this study is that nitric oxide (NO), a key signalling molecule, produced by the host during infection, triggered Rpf-dependency in M. tuberculosis. To test this hypothesis, two novel compounds were synthesised: a NO donor (ND) and a control compound (CC). ND but not CC induced differential culturability in M. tuberculosis and Mycobacterium bovis BCG. The differentially culturable bacteria resuscitated in 7H9 liquid medium, while supplementation with culture supernatant (CSN), obtained from actively growing M. tuberculosis, further improved resuscitation. Rpf-inhibitor abolished the resuscitation of these bacteria, thus proving that ND generated Rpf-dependent mycobacteria. Furthermore, cell line-based infection models developed in this project revealed that differentially culturable mycobacteria were formed in human THP-1 cells and murine cells (J774A and C57BL/6 bone marrow derived macrophages). Differentially culturable mycobacteria were not detected in iNOS deficient C57BL/6 cells. To investigate the molecular mechanism of NO-induced Rpf-dependency, the effect of ND on gene expression was evaluated. ND treatment disrupted respiration, lowered the expression of genes involved in cell wall biosynthesis and dramatically downregulated the expression of rpf genes. The findings of this project offer a model for generation of Rpf-dependent M. tuberculosis during infection.

description: Ultrasound imaging is developing an open-source ecosystem, especially for software frameworks. Little exists on the open-hardware side. Hence a focus was put on producing easy-to-use technological (hardware and software) kit to allow anyone - scientists, academics, hackers, makers to have a experimental setup for ultrasound imaging at a low cost, at home, with no specific equipment required. To this end, open source, arduino-like modules have been developed to build a simple, but complete, single channel analog front-end system, where all intermediary signals are readily accessible by the user. A single-channel architecture allows to avoid the beam-forming head, though it limits the quality of the image obtained, and brings robustness to the system. Moreover, complex RF processing, being shifted to the analog side, limits the quality of the final image. These were tested with re-purposed ultrasound mechanical scanner heads, as well as re-purposed medical imaging transducers, and provided interesting images. Moreover, such modules could also be used in RF projects, non-destructive projects, low-cost medical imaging projects.

description: To spearhead the digital transformation of the Irish Health system, a National Master’s in Digital Health Transformation was co-designed between the Irish Health Service (HSE) and the eight Irish research universities. The Master’s was designed around the new Stay Left, Shift Left-10X paradigm which advocates for shifts in focus from illness to wellness, hospital to home and a patient rather than clinician centred health system. A key feature of the Masters is that the main deliverable is a digital change project in the health service instead of the traditional 30,000-word dissertation. The Digital Change project, while an extremely valuable learning process also created a cohesive wave of digital change in an organization and ecosystem known for resistance to change. An additional innovation is the use of a patient jury to guide selection and to score projects. More than one hundred and fifty clinical students delivered over 85 completed projects which brought significant positive benefits across the quadruple aim lens. The education and change initiative achieved a massive return on investment, with some individual projects achieving return on investments significantly greater than the overall cost of the Master’s program. In parallel to the National Master’s program, other initiatives aligned with the national health strategy Slaintecare, such a the building of a network of primary care centres were carried out. Despite many remaining challenges, Ireland’s global health system ranking improved 74 places over the first five-year duration of the Masters. Acknowledging multifactorial reasons for improvement, we can still conclude that education led digital change is highly effective at introducing positive digital change in a complex adaptive systems environment.

description: The key to optimizing spatial resolution in a state-of-the-art scanning transmission electron microscope is the ability to precisely measure and correct for electron optical aberrations of the probe-forming lenses. Several diagnostic methods for aberration measurement and correction with maximum precision and accuracy have been proposed, albeit often at the cost of relatively long acquisition times. Here, we illustrate how artificial intelligence can be used to provide near-real-time diagnosis of aberrations from individual Ronchigrams. The demonstrated speed of aberration measurement is important as microscope conditions can change rapidly, as well as for the operation of MEMS-based hardware correction elements that have less intrinsic stability than conventional electromagnetic lenses.

description: We study the class of indecomposable two-dimensional Landau-Ginzburg theories with (2,2) supersymmetry and central charge c < 6 with the aim of classifying all such theories up to marginal deformations. Our results include cases overlooked in previous classifications. The results are rigorous for three or fewer fields and more generally are rigorous if we assume an extra bound. Numerics suggest that we have the complete set of indecomposable Landau-Ginzburg families with c<6. This set consists of 38 infinite families and a finite list of 418 sporadic cases. The basic tools are classic results of Kreuzer and Skarke on quasi-homogeneous isolated singularities and solutions to certain feasibility integer programming problems.

description: This thesis uses genetic analyses to determine the feasibility of mixing gene pools from different populations to prevent extinction of the last remaining lowland swamp forest population of Leadbeater's possum. The findings indicate that the lowland population at Yellingbo requires mixing with other populations to avoid extinction, and this gene pool mixing is unlikely to cause genetic problems. The findings also indicate the best populations for mixing with Yellingbo, how many new individuals are needed to rescue the population, and that the lowland population has unique genetic variants that can be preserved when mixing gene pools.
