description: Objectives: Tocilizumab (TCZ) is the only available biologics inhibiting interleukin-6 presently, and emerging evidences have figured that elevated serum level of interleukin-6 is a crucial link of the pathogenesis of adult-onset Still’s disease (AOSD). However, evidence about the efficacy and safety of TCZ in AOSD with strong power is still scarce. Thus, this meta-analysis was conducted to synthetically assess the efficacy and safety of TCZ on AOSD. Methods: PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, and Chinese Biological Medical Literature database were comprehensively searched up to 31 July 2017 for the pertinent studies. The pooled remission rates were synthesized by fixed effect model or randomized effects model, depended on heterogeneity. Results: Ten original studies contained 147 individuals were included in our analysis. The overall partial and complete remission rates were 85.38 (95% CI: 69.32–96.88%) and 77.91% (95% CI: 57.91–90.04%), respectively, and the remission rate of refractory patients was 87.92% (95% CI: 56.53–100.00%). Conclusion: The use of TCZ could significantly reduce the need of corticosteroids for AOSD patients. Impressive improvements were attained in both clinical and laboratory parameters. Compared with conventional therapy, TCZ treatment was safety. In conclusion, TCZ was effective and well tolerated for the treatment of AOSD.

description: Light scalar fields typically develop spatially varying backgrounds during inflation. Very often they do not directly affect the density perturbations, but interact with other fields that do leave nontrivial signals in primordial perturbations. In this sense they become "missing scalars" at the cosmological collider. We study potentially observable signals of these missing scalars, focusing on a special example where a missing scalar distorts the usual oscillatory features in the squeezed bispectrum. The distortion is also a useful signal distinguishing the de Sitter background induced thermal mass from a constant intrinsic mass.

A Study of Polyene Systems: Reactivity of Siloxydienes and Dienolates
Creators: name: Galaktionova, Daria V.
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2024

description: This thesis contributes a detailed analysis of the properties and reactivity of polarized polyene systems, particularly dienolates, and their neutral analogs, siloxydienes. These systems are notable for their distinctive electronic properties, including extended and polarized π-electron delocalization, which controls the site of reaction in these polyfunctional systems and facilitates remote functionalization reactions with an increased number of reaction centers.
The primary focus of this work lies in the development and optimization of the iron-catalyzed oxidative dimerization reaction of siloxydienes. Under mild reaction conditions, a novel gamma-gamma (γ-γ) C–C bond is created. The reaction exhibits a broad substrate scope, encompassing cyclic and acyclic siloxydienes derived from ketones, aldehydes, and esters, leading to the formation of synthetically challenging 1,8-dicarbonyl compounds. Conceptually, the dienol ether serves as a precursor to a conjugated radical cation, which undergoes highly site-selective γ-dimerization reactions. The γ-γ dimerization strategy is applied to the synthesis of a bioactive analog of honokiol, demonstrating the utility of this method for complex molecule synthesis. Mechanistic investigations, including kinetics, Hammett plot analysis, cyclic voltammetry (CV), and Eyring and Arrhenius analyses, are undertaken to elucidate this transformation. As a side product in some cases, gamma-oxygenation reactivity is observed and optimized utilizing a catalytic iodine system.
Furthermore, a general, regioselective, and metal-free γ-fluorination of α,β-unsaturated carbonyls via silyl dienol ethers is developed, providing access to valuable organofluorides. The regioselectivity of the reaction is found to be influenced by the conformational flexibility of the substrate. Diversification of the γ-fluorocarbonyls highlights the potential of fluorine as a stereocontrol element.
In addition to methodological studies on siloxydienes, the utilization of dienolates in the total synthesis of resorcinol natural products is explored. This provides an alternative “non-aromatic” approach to this class of bioactive molecules, which exhibits advantageous opportunities for diversification within this framework.

description: Deep learning has successfully been leveraged for medical image segmentation. It employs convolutional neural networks (CNN) to learn distinctive image features from a defined pixel-wise objective function. However, this approach can lead to less output pixel interdependence producing incomplete and unrealistic segmentation results. In this paper, we present a fully automatic deep learning method for robust medical image segmentation by formulating the segmentation problem as a recurrent framework using two systems. The first one is a forward system of an encoder-decoder CNN that predicts the segmentation result from the input image. The predicted probabilistic output of the forward system is then encoded by a fully convolutional network (FCN)-based context feedback system. The encoded feature space of the FCN is then integrated back into the forward system's feed-forward learning process. Using the FCN-based context feedback loop allows the forward system to learn and extract more high-level image features and fix previous mistakes, thereby improving prediction accuracy over time. Experimental results, performed on four different clinical datasets, demonstrate our method's potential application for single and multi-structure medical image segmentation by outperforming the state of the art methods. With the feedback loop, deep learning methods can now produce results that are both anatomically plausible and robust to low contrast images. Therefore, formulating image segmentation as a recurrent framework of two interconnected networks via context feedback loop can be a potential method for robust and efficient medical image analysis.

description: The solubility of coumarin in three aqueous solvent mixtures (methanol + water, ethanol + water and acetone + water) was experimentally determined by a gravimetric method at atmospheric pressure. The experimental solubility data were fitted using the modified Apelblat equation, non-random two-liquid (NRTL) equation, the combined nearly ideal binary solvent/Redlich–Kister equation and the Jouyban−Acree equation, respectively. All the equations were proven to be able to correlate the experimental data, and the modified Apelblat equation could obtain better correlation results than the other three models. The solubility of coumarin increases with increase in temperature. At the same temperature, the solubility increases with increase in mole fraction of organic solvents except for the ethanol–water system which shows a unimodal curve. In addition, the apparent thermodynamic properties of the mixing process were calculated based on the NRTL model and the experimental solubility data.

description: To build, obtain and disseminate trustworthy, transparent, and open research information is always the goal for the research community. ORCID provides researchers with a unique identifier, processes for researchers to permit connections with their iDs, and a database to store these connections and associated metadata and source provenance. By implementing deeper workflows with ORCID, researchers and organizations benefit from ‘trust markers’ to advance trusted research worldwide and improve the integrity of the research process. This is achieved through affiliation data added by the institutions, contributions on the researcher records that have been added by other publishers or repositories, and funding history or additional data such as other person identifiers and organization identifiers. All of this trusted data can then be used further downstream in the community’s own workflows.

description: We investigate the implications of the intergalactic opacity for the evolution of the cosmic UV luminosity density and its sources. Our main constraint is our measurement of the Lya forest opacity at redshifts 2~3. Combined with direct measurements of the galaxy UV luminosity function, this requires only a small fraction f_esc~0.5% of galactic hydrogen ionizing photons to escape their source for galaxies to solely account for the entire ionizing background. Under the assumption that the galactic UV emissivity traces the star formation rate, current state-of-the-art observational estimates of the star formation rate density appear to underestimate the total photoionization rate at z~4 by a factor ~4, are in tension with recent determinations of the UV luminosity function, and fail to reionize the Universe by z~6 if extrapolated to arbitrarily high redshift. A theoretical star formation history peaking earlier fits the Lya forest photoionization rate well, reionizes the Universe in time, and is in better agreement with the rate of z~4 gamma-ray bursts observed by Swift. Quasars suffice to doubly ionize helium by z~3 and likely contribute a non-negligible and perhaps dominant fraction of the hydrogen ionizing background at their z~2 peak. [Abridged]

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Social Skills Training for Head Injured Adults Research has demonstrated numerous personality and behavioral disturbances resulting from head injury (Lezak,1978). It is these changes rather than the physical disabilities that create the stress, in the long term for the relatives of the head injured (MeKinley,1981). Therefore, social skills training is a important part of intervention with this population. This study evaluates a social skills training program "Stacking the Deck" (Braunling-McMorrow et al 1986) which has been modified to include structured learning assignments. This is a single case evaluation (A - Baseline, B - Treatment) with replication. The subjects are four males with severe head injuries, ages 19,22,34,and 36. Social skills were described as requiring an action or reaction within six skill areas: compliments, social interaction, politeness, criticism, social confrontation, and questions/answers. Measures include the baseline developed in the "Stacking the Deck" program, Staff Questionnaire on Social Behavior (Spence,1979) and the Social Skills Assessment Chart (Spence,1980). Results indicate that this is an effective program for social skills training with the adult head injured population.

description: Joint detection of drivable areas and road anomalies is very important for mobile robots. Recently, many semantic segmentation approaches based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been proposed for pixel-wise drivable area and road anomaly detection. In addition, some benchmark datasets, such as KITTI and Cityscapes, have been widely used. However, the existing benchmarks are mostly designed for self-driving cars. There lacks a benchmark for ground mobile robots, such as robotic wheelchairs. Therefore, in this paper, we first build a drivable area and road anomaly detection benchmark for ground mobile robots, evaluating the existing state-of-the-art single-modal and data-fusion semantic segmentation CNNs using six modalities of visual features. Furthermore, we propose a novel module, referred to as the dynamic fusion module (DFM), which can be easily deployed in existing data-fusion networks to fuse different types of visual features effectively and efficiently. The experimental results show that the transformed disparity image is the most informative visual feature and the proposed DFM-RTFNet outperforms the state-of-the-arts. Additionally, our DFM-RTFNet achieves competitive performance on the KITTI road benchmark. Our benchmark is publicly available at https://sites.google.com/view/gmrb.

description: Dasatinib (Sprycel®) is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor for treating chronic myeloid leukemia and Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia. We designed a clinical study to demonstrate that the dasatinib tablet (YiNiShu®) (Chia Tai Tianqing Pharmaceutical Group Co., Ltd) and Dasatinib (Bristol Myers Squibb) were bioequivalent under fasting and fed conditions. The whole study was structured into the fasting trial and the postprandial trial. Each period, subjects were given 50 mg dasatinib or its generic. The RSABE (reference scale average bioequivalence) and ABE (average bioequivalence) methods were employed to assess bioequivalence by pharmacokinetics (PK) parameters for a highly variable drug. 32 and 24 eligible volunteers were enrolled in the fasting and postprandial trials, respectively. In the fasting trial, the RSABE method was performed, and point estimates of Cmax, AUC0-t, and AUC0-∞ met the bioequivalence criteria. In the postprandial trial, the ABE method was performed, and the 90% CI of the geometric mean ratio (GMR) for PK parameters met the requirements of bioequivalence standards. The results proved that the PK parameters of the two drugs were similar and bioequivalent, indicating that both drugs had a good safety profile. This trial was registered in ClinicalTrials.gov (Number: NCT05640804) and Drug Clinical Trial Registration and Information Disclosure Platform (Number: CTR20181708)

description: We determine the variation in the nonthermal radio spectral index in the nearby spiral galaxy M33 at a linear resolution of 360 pc. We separate the thermal and nonthermal components of the radio continuum emission without the assumption of a constant nonthermal spectral index. Using the Spitzer FIR data at 70 and 160 $μ$m and a standard dust model, we deredden the H$α$ emission. The extinction corrected H$α$ emission serves as a template for the thermal free-free radio emission. Subtracting from the observed 3.6 cm and 20 cm emission (Effelsberg and the VLA) this free-free emission, we obtain the nonthermal maps. A constant electron temperature used to obtain the thermal radio intensity seems appropriate for M~33 which, unlike the Milky Way, has a shallow metallicity gradient. For the first time, we derive the distribution of the nonthermal spectral index across a galaxy, M33. We detect strong nonthermal emission from the spiral arms and star-forming regions. Wavelet analysis shows that at 3.6 cm the nonthermal emission is dominated by contributions from star-forming regions, while it is smoothly distributed at 20 cm. For the whole galaxy, we obtain thermal fractions of 51% and 18% at 3.6 cm and 20 cm, respectively. The thermal emission is slightly stronger in the southern than in the northern half of the galaxy. We find a clear radial gradient of mean extinction in the galactic plane. The nonthermal spectral index map indicates that the relativistic electrons suffer energy-loss when diffusing from their origin in star-forming regions towards interarm regions and the outer parts of the galaxy. We also conclude that the radio emission is mostly nonthermal at R $>$ 5 kpc in M33.

Parents' perceptions of their family's experience when they have a child awaiting corrective heart surgery
Creators: name: Edwards, Sheila Jean
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The purpose of this phenomenological study was to determine the meaning parents give to their family's experience when they have a child awaiting corrective heart surgery. A secondary purpose was to identify appropriate interventions for nurses who deal with families during the transition period, from initial diagnosis of congenital heart disease until admission to hospital for corrective heart surgery. A convenience sample of six couples were interviewed at various times during the identified transition period, for a total of 11 interviews. An interview guide of open-ended questions provided some loose structure for the initial interviews. Analysis of the verbatim transcriptions began concurrently with data collection and continued during the formal analytic phase with meaning units emerging from the data. The parents described four facets of the experience: diagnosis of congenital heart disease, adjusting to caring for child once home, living with a child with a chronic condition, and waiting for corrective heart surgery. Not only did parents talk about how they felt during the four facets but they also described the range of coping strategies they employed through their experience. In discussing these findings within the context of other chronic illness experiences it became evident that parents draw from a common pool of coping strategies whether the child is in a chronic or more acute phase of an illness. Most of the parents in discussing their overall impressions of the experience had not found their child's illness to be as disruptive to family life as they had first anticipated. Those families with the most symptomatic infants seemed to have a particular need for an alliance with one health care professional to support them through the transition period. Generally, parents did not spend a lot of time dwelling on the corrective surgery until close to the anticipated date for that event; instead they employed various coping strategies which allowed them to normalize their lives. Implications for nursing practice which arise from these conclusions are multiple. Overall, nurses must assess the meaning that individual families give to their experience, assist families to employ suitable coping strategies, and offer support as necessary. General implications for nursing research are in the realm of studies which will further nurses' understanding of the waiting period for corrective heart surgery both from the parents' and the siblings' perspective.

We split our galaxy sample in star-forming galaxies, galaxies with optical AGN activity and radio sources. We find a smooth transition in halo mass as the activity of central galaxies changes from star formation to optical AGN activity to radio emission. Star-forming centrals preferentially reside in haloes with M<10^{12} Msun, central galaxies with optical-AGN activity typically inhabit haloes with M \sim 10^{13} Msun, and centrals emitting in the radio mainly reside in haloes more massive than 10^{14} Msun. Although this seems to suggest that the environment (halo mass) determines the type of activity of its central galaxy, we find a similar trend with stellar mass: central star formers typically have stellar masses below 10^{10} Msun, while optical-AGN hosts and central radio sources have characteristic stellar masses of 10^{10.8} Msun and 10^{11.6} Msun, respectively. Since more massive haloes typically host more massive centrals, it is unclear whether the activity of a central galaxy is causally connected to its stellar mass or to its halo mass. In general, satellite galaxies have their activity suppressed wrt central galaxies of the same stellar mass. At fixed stellar mass, we find that the activity of satellite galaxies depends only weakly on halo mass. In fact, for satellite galaxies the dependence of galaxy activity on halo mass is more than four times weaker than the dependence on stellar mass. As we discuss, all these results are consistent with a picture in which low mass haloes accrete cold gas, while massive haloes have coronae of hot gas that promote radio activity of their central galaxies.

Wave packets in quantum theory of collisions

description: Two methodological troubles of the quantum theory of collisions are considered. The first is the undesirable interference of the incident and scattered waves in the stationary approach to scattering. The second concerns the nonstationary approach to the theory of collisions of the type $a+b\to c+d$. In order to calculate the cross section one uses the matrix element $$ of the $S$-matrix. The element is proportional to $δ$-function expressing the energy conservation. The corresponding probability $|< cd|S|ab>|^2$ contains $δ^2$ which is mathematically senseless. The known regular way to overcome the difficulty seems to be unsatisfactory. In this paper, both the troubles are resolved using wave packets of incident particles.

description: We study the variational principle and derivation of the field equations for different classes of teleparallel gravity theories, using both their metric-affine and covariant tetrad formulations. These theories have in common that in addition to the tetrad or metric, they employ a flat connection as additional field variable, but differ by the presence of absence of torsion and nonmetricity for this independent connection. Besides the different underlying geometric formulation using a tetrad or metric as fundamental field variable, one has different choices to introduce the conditions of vanishing curvature, torsion and nonmetricity, either by imposing them a priori and correspondingly restricting the variation of the action when the field equations are derived, or by using Lagrange multipliers. Special care must be taken, since these conditions form non-holonomic constraints. Here we show explicitly that all of the aforementioned approaches are equivalent, and that the same set of field equations is obtained, independently of the choice of the geometric formulation and variation procedure. We further discuss consequences arising from the diffeomorphism invariance of the gravitational action, and show how they establish relations between the gravitational field equations.

description: In a recent publication [Phys. Rev. Lett. 97, 227402 (2006), cond-mat/0611411], it has been demonstrated numerically that a long-range disorder potential in semiconductor quantum wells can be reconstructed reliably via single-photon interferometry of spontaneously emitted light. In the present paper, a simplified analytical model of independent two-level systems is presented in order to study the reconstruction procedure in more detail. With the help of this model, the measured photon correlations can be calculated analytically and the influence of parameters such as the disorder length scale, the wavelength of the used light, or the spotsize can be investigated systematically. Furthermore, the relation between the proposed angle-resolved single-photon correlations and the disorder potential can be understood and the measured signal is expected to be closely related to the characteristic strength and length scale of the disorder.

description: Neural Networks (NNs) can provide major empirical performance improvements for closed-loop systems, but they also introduce challenges in formally analyzing those systems' safety properties. In particular, this work focuses on estimating the forward reachable set of \textit{neural feedback loops} (closed-loop systems with NN controllers). Recent work provides bounds on these reachable sets, but the computationally tractable approaches yield overly conservative bounds (thus cannot be used to verify useful properties), and the methods that yield tighter bounds are too intensive for online computation. This work bridges the gap by formulating a convex optimization problem for the reachability analysis of closed-loop systems with NN controllers. While the solutions are less tight than previous (semidefinite program-based) methods, they are substantially faster to compute, and some of those computational time savings can be used to refine the bounds through new input set partitioning techniques, which is shown to dramatically reduce the tightness gap. The new framework is developed for systems with uncertainty (e.g., measurement and process noise) and nonlinearities (e.g., polynomial dynamics), and thus is shown to be applicable to real-world systems. To inform the design of an initial state set when only the target state set is known/specified, a novel algorithm for backward reachability analysis is also provided, which computes the set of states that are guaranteed to lead to the target set. The numerical experiments show that our approach (based on linear relaxations and partitioning) gives a $5\times$ reduction in conservatism in $150\times$ less computation time compared to the state-of-the-art. Furthermore, experiments on quadrotor, 270-state, and polynomial systems demonstrate the method's ability to handle uncertainty sources, high dimensionality, and nonlinear dynamics, respectively.

description: We study the conditions under which a generic supergravity model involving chiral and vector multiplets can admit vacua with spontaneously broken supersymmetry and realistic cosmological constant. We find that the existence of such viable vacua implies some constraints involving the curvature tensor of the scalar geometry and the charge and mass matrices of the vector fields, and also that the vector of F and D auxiliary fields defining the Goldstino direction is constrained to lie within a certain domain. We illustrate the relevance of these results through some examples and also discuss the implications of our general results on the dynamics of moduli fields in string models. This contribution is based on [1,2,3].

PReBeaM for Planck: A Polarized Regularized Beam Deconvolution Map-Making Method

description: We describe a maximum likelihood regularized beam deconvolution map-making algorithm for data from high resolution, polarization sensitive instruments, such as the Planck data set. The resulting algorithm, which we call PReBeaM, is pixel-free and solves for the map directly in spherical harmonic space, avoiding pixelization artifacts. While Fourier methods like ours are expected to work best when applied to smooth, large-scale asymmetric beam systematics (such as far-side lobe effects) we show that our m-truncated spherical harmonic representation of the beam results in negligible reconstruction error -- even for m as small as 4 for a polarized elliptically asymmetric beam. We describe a hybrid OpenMP/MPI parallelization scheme which allows us to store and manipulate the time-ordered data from instruments with arbitrary scanning strategy. Finally, we apply our technique to noisy data and show that it succeeds in removing visible power spectrum artifacts without generating excess noise on small scales.

Gyrinus gehringi is newly recorded in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia (Fig. 9). Robert (1955) indicated that it preferred eutrophic habitats and Morrissette (1979) reported it from glacial lakes. The distribution map for this species in Oygur and Wolfe (1991, 66) appears to indicate a location in northeastern New Brunswick, however, neither Oygur and Wolfe (1991) nor Roughley (1991) report it from that province.

Comments on the radio spectrum of HB 3

description: It has recently been suggested that the radio spectrum of the Galactic supernova remnant HB 3 shows flattening at higher frequencies (above about 1 GHz). Here I review the radio spectrum of HB 3, noting the difficulties in deriving accurate flux densities for this remnant, particularly at high frequencies, due to the proximity of bright, thermal emission from W3 and its surroundings. A flux density for HB 3 at 2695 MHz is derived from Effelsberg survey data. The spectrum of HB 3 is well represented by a simple power-law spectrum from 22 to 2695 MHz, with a spectral index of 0.56 +/- 0.03. It is concluded that contamination with thermal emission from adjacent regions is the cause for the reported spectral flattening of HB 3.
