description: Recent developments in neuroimaging allow us to investigate the structural and functional connectivity between brain regions in vivo. Mounting evidence suggests that hub nodes play a central role in brain communication and neural integration. Such high centrality, however, makes hub nodes particularly susceptible to pathological network alterations and the identification of hub nodes from brain networks has attracted much attention in neuroimaging. Current popular hub identification methods often work in a univariate manner, i.e., selecting the hub nodes one after another based on either heuristic of the connectivity profile at each node or predefined settings of network modules. Since the topological information of the entire network (such as network modules) is not fully utilized, current methods have limited power to identify hubs that link multiple modules (connector hubs) and are biased toward identifying hubs having many connections within the same module (provincial hubs). To address this challenge, we propose a novel multivariate hub identification method. Our method identifies connector hubs as those that partition the network into disconnected components when they are removed from the network. Furthermore, we extend our hub identification method to find the population-based hub nodes from a group of network data. We have compared our hub identification method with existing methods on both simulated and human brain network data. Our proposed method achieves more accurate and replicable discovery of hub nodes and exhibits enhanced statistical power in identifying network alterations related to neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease and obsessive-compulsive disorder.

description: Androgynous college students (16 males and 16 females) and sex-typed college students (16 males and 16 females) rated the resumes of fictitious applicants for a managerial position. The applicant's physical attractiveness, qualifications, and sex were systematically varied in the resumes. Five-way analyses of variance were performed on the hiring rankings of the applicants and the perceived attractiveness, masculinity, femininity, and social desirability of the applicants. The sex and attractiveness of the applicants significantly affected the hiring decisions, but not as strongly as did the applicant's qualifications. For hiring decisions, the subjects' sex-role orientation moderated the effect of the applicant's attractiveness but not the effect of the applicant's sex. The applicant's sex, qualifications, and attractiveness affected the perceived sex-role orientation and sex-relevant goodness of the applicants. In addition, the applicant's qualifications and sex affected the perceived sex-irrelevant goodness of the applicants. Implications for the employee interview process and suggestions for further research are discussed.

description: Recently, the gapless Dirac/Weyl nodal semimetals with linear dispersion and topologically protected modes degeneracy are rapidly growing frontiers of topological physics. Especially, type-I, type-II, and critical type-III nodal semimetals are discovered according to the tilt angles of the Dirac/Weyl cones. Here, by introducing hyperbolic metamaterials into one-dimensional photonic crystals, we design the "hyper-crystal" and study the photonic four-fold degenerate Dirac nodal line semimetals (DNLSs) with two types of perpendicularly polarized waves. Moreover, the flexibly controlled photonic DNLSs using the phase compensation effect of hyperbolic dispersion are studied. Our results not only demonstrate a new platform to realize the various photonic DNLSs, where the optical polarization plays the role of electron spin in electronic DNLSs, but also may pave a novel way to explore the abundant Dirac/Weyl physics in the simple classical wave systems.

description: Fabricating an integrated circuit is becoming unaffordable for many semiconductor design houses. Outsourcing the fabrication to a third-party foundry requires methods to protect the intellectual property of the hardware designs. Designers can rely on embedded reconfigurable devices to completely hide the real functionality of selected design portions unless the configuration string (bitstream) is provided. However, selecting such portions and creating the corresponding reconfigurable fabrics are still open problems. We propose ALICE, a design flow that addresses the EDA challenges of this problem. ALICE partitions the RTL modules between one or more reconfigurable fabrics and the rest of the circuit, automating the generation of the corresponding redacted design.

description: One important vision of robotics is to provide physical assistance by manipulating different everyday objects, e.g., hand tools, kitchen utensils. However, many objects designed for dexterous hand-control are not easily manipulable by a single robotic arm with a generic parallel gripper. Complementary to existing research on developing grippers and control algorithms, we present Roman, a suite of hardware design and software tool support for robotic engineers to create 3D printable mechanisms attached to everyday handheld objects, making them easier to be manipulated by conventional robotic arms. The Roman hardware comes with a versatile magnetic gripper that can snap on/off handheld objects and drive add-on mechanisms to perform tasks. Roman also provides software support to register and author control programs. To validate our approach, we designed and fabricated Roman mechanisms for 14 everyday objects/tasks presented within a design space and conducted expert interviews with robotic engineers indicating that Roman serves as a practical alternative for enabling robotic manipulation of everyday objects.

description: Phishing remains a critical cybersecurity threat, especially with the advent of large language models (LLMs) capable of generating highly convincing malicious content. Unlike earlier phishing attempts which are identifiable by grammatical errors, misspellings, incorrect phrasing, and inconsistent formatting, LLM generated emails are grammatically sound, contextually relevant, and linguistically natural. These advancements make phishing emails increasingly difficult to distinguish from legitimate ones, challenging traditional detection mechanisms. Conventional phishing detection systems often fail when faced with emails crafted by LLMs or manipulated using adversarial perturbation techniques. To address this challenge, we propose a robust phishing email detection system featuring an enhanced text preprocessing pipeline. This pipeline includes spelling correction and compound word splitting to counteract adversarial modifications and improve detection accuracy.Our approach integrates three widely used feature extraction techniques - TF-IDF, Word2Vec, and GloVe with five machine learning classifiers - Support Vector Machine (SVM), Logistic Regression (LR), Random Forest (RF), Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP), and K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN). We evaluate our system on publicly available datasets comprising both phishing and legitimate emails, achieving a detection accuracy of 94.34\%. To assess robustness, we further test the system using adversarial examples generated by four attack strategies - DeepWordBug, Pruthi, TextBugger, and a custom character-level substitution method. Additionally, we evaluate its performance against phishing emails generated by LLMs such as ChatGPT and LLaMA. Results highlight the system’s resilience against evolving, AI-powered phishing threats.

description: Increasing evidence implicates the tumor microbiota as a factor that can influence cancer progression. In patients with colorectal cancer (CRC), we found that pre-resection antibiotics targeting anaerobic bacteria substantially improved disease-free survival by 25.5%. For mouse studies, we designed an antibiotic silver-tinidazole complex encapsulated in liposomes (LipoAgTNZ) to eliminate tumor-associated bacteria in the primary tumor and liver metastases without causing gut microbiome dysbiosis. Mouse CRC models colonized by tumor-promoting bacteria (Fusobacterium nucleatum spp.) or probiotics (Escherichia coli Nissle spp.) responded to LipoAgTNZ therapy, which enabled more than 70% long-term survival in two F. nucleatum-infected CRC models. The antibiotic treatment generated microbial neoantigens that elicited anti-tumor CD8+ T cells. Heterologous and homologous bacterial epitopes contributed to the immunogenicity, priming T cells to recognize both infected and uninfected tumors. Our strategy targets tumor-associated bacteria to elicit anti-tumoral immunity, paving the way for microbiome–immunotherapy interventions.

description: The purpose of signal extrapolation is to estimate unknown signal parts from known samples. This task is especially important for error concealment in image and video communication. For obtaining a high quality reconstruction, assumptions have to be made about the underlying signal in order to solve this underdetermined problem. Among existent reconstruction algorithms, frequency selective extrapolation (FSE) achieves high performance by assuming that image signals can be sparsely represented in the frequency domain. However, FSE does not take into account the low-pass behaviour of natural images. In this paper, we propose a modified FSE that takes this prior knowledge into account for the modelling, yielding significant PSNR gains.

Year: 2022

description: Background: There is no consensus on how to define "junk food."In 2016, Chile implemented the most comprehensive set of obesity-preventive regulations in the world, including criteria to define unhealthy foods. Objectives: The objective of this study was to examine the amount of energy, sodium, sugar, and saturated fat consumed by US adults defined as junk food using the Chilean criteria. Methods: We used 2 nationally representative surveys of food intake in 10,001 US adults: NHANES 2015-2016 and NHANES 2017-2018. The main outcome measures were the contributions of energy, total sugars, saturated fat, and sodium deriving from junk food sources. Mean intake and proportion of energy, sugar, saturated fat, and sodium for junk food overall and each food category were calculated. Results: Overall, 47% of energy, 75% of total sugar, 46% of sodium, and 48% of saturated fat consumed by US adults derived from junk food sources. Sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) were responsible for more than 40% of total sugar intake deriving from junk foods. Non-Hispanic black adults had the highest mean energy, total sugar, and sodium intake deriving from junk foods, with non-Hispanic white adults having the highest saturated fat intake. Non-Hispanic black adults had the highest intake of total sugar deriving from junk food sources of SSBs (26.7 g/d), with SSBs representing >40% of total sugar intake deriving from junk food sources for all race/ethnic groups. Conclusions: Foods that meet the Chilean criteria for junk food provide approximately half or more daily energy and food components to limit in the diet of US adults, with important differences observed between race/ethnic groups. Policy efforts to reduce junk food intake, particularly the intake of SSBs, must be expanded to improve the cardiometabolic health equitably in the United States.

description: The aim of the research is to substantiate theoretically, develop and experimentally test an instructional framework for organizing autonomous foreign language acquisition of humanities undergraduate students based on the study of their individual learning styles and thinking types in order to improve their motivation and engagement levels. The objectives of the research are conduction of theoretical analysis to refine definitions of age, motivation, engagement, learning styles, and thinking types of students for organizing autonomous student work in the university; identification of correlations between the concepts of "learning style" and "thinking type"; development and testing an instructional framework for organizing autonomous foreign language acquisition, taking into account individual characteristics of students; and providing recommendations on the issue. The relevance of the topic is substantiated by the fact that in a modern university, autonomous educational and research work of students is encouraged and great attention is paid to the individualization of learning, which forces students to study many materials on their own. Thus, there is a need to create a methodological framework that promotes autonomous learning, taking into account the individual learning styles of students. Data from 110 domestic and foreign sources focused on theories by D. Kolb, P. Honey, A. Mumford, and J. Bruner. The study resulted in the instructional framework for autonomous foreign language acquisition with tailored task selection based on students learning styles and thinking types, validated by experimental training.
No Vacancy : Affordability & Homelessness in Vancouver

description: Recent point-in-time homeless counts in Metro Vancouver and City of Vancouver indicate a growing number of people experiencing homelessness in our community. Despite government investments in social housing and rent supplements, more people are homeless in Metro Vancouver than ever before. Homelessness is the result of the interplay between structural factors (e.g. cost of housing and income), systemic failures where people “fall through the cracks” (e.g. discharge from hospitals without housing), and life circumstances (e.g. job loss, illness, or family violence)1. While all three elements are important, this report examines the structural factors which lead to homelessness. It complements the point in time count by reporting on factors such as vacancy at low-end-ofmarket, costs of average rent, available income, cost of living, and social housing built and rent supplements provided.

description: Ursini et al reported recently that the liability of schizophrenia explained by a polygenic risk score (PRS) derived from the variants most associated with schizophrenia was increased 5-fold in individuals who experienced complications during pregnancy or birth. Follow-up gene expression analysis showed that the genes mapping to the most associated genetic variants are highly expressed in placental tissues. If confirmed, these findings will have major implications in our understanding of the joint effect of genes and environment in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia. We examined the interplay between PRS and obstetric complications (OCs) in 5 independent samples (effective N = 2110). OCs were assessed with the full or modified Lewis-Murray scale, or with birth weight < 2.5 kg as a proxy. In a large cohort we tested whether the pathways from placenta-relevant variants in the original report were associated with case-control status. Unlike in the original study, we did not find significant effect of PRS on the presence of OCs in cases, nor a substantial difference in the association of PRS with case-control status in samples stratified by the presence of OCs. Furthermore, none of the PRS by OCs interactions were significant, nor were any of the biological pathways, examined in the Swedish cohort. Our study could not support the hypothesis of a mediating effect of placenta biology in the pathway from genes to schizophrenia. Methodology differences, in particular the different scales measuring OCs, as well as power constraints for interaction analyses in both studies, may explain this discrepancy.

description: Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is the deliberate destruction of body tissue without the intent to commit suicide. The present study applied public stigma, self stigma, and secrecy of Modified Labeling Theory to NSSI help seeking and psychological well-being.

Results from 576 adult women indicate that satisfaction with mental health providers is higher than with medical providers, that stigma was not higher among those who haven't sought help, and that past and future help seeking are related. Neither public nor self stigma predicted help-seeking, and the relationship between stigma and psychological well-being is not mediated by secrecy. The most salient constructs associated with helps seeking were secrecy and desire to stop self-harm. Future directions and clinical implications are discussed.

description: Using a newly invented surface-tethered dopant approach for the electrochemical polymerization growth of conductive polymer films, nanocomposites are created consisting of two distinct phases of polypyrrole (PPy) and Poly(3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene) (PEDOT). The growth of the conductive nanocomposite films takes advantage of the unique way in which a conductive polymer film forms when grown using a surface-tethered dopant, starting out as a highly nanoporous film that gradually becomes more and more solid as additional polymer deposition occurs preferentially within the nanopores rather than at the films outer surface. Nanocomposite films can thus be fabricated simply and controllably by first growing one nanoporous conductive polymer film followed by the deposition of a second conductive polymer within the nanopores of the first. This study investigates the morphological and electrochemical properties of nanocomposite films grown using a surface-tethered dopant and how these properties are affected by simple changes in electrochemical polymerization parameters.

description: We study evolution of the braneworld Kerr--Newman (K-N) naked singularities, namely their mass $M$ , spin $a$, and tidal charge $b$ characterizing the role of the bulk space, due to matter in-falling from Keplerian accretion disk. We construct the evolution in two limiting cases applied to the tidal charge. In the first case we assume $b$ = const during the evolution, in the second one we assume that the dimensionless tidal charge $β\equiv b/M^2$ = const. For positive values of the tidal charge the evolution is equivalent to the case of the standard K-N naked singularity under accretion of electrically neutral matter. We demonstrate that counter-rotating accretion always converts a K-N naked singularity into an extreme K-N black hole and that the corotating accretion leads to variety of outcomes. The conversion to an extreme K-N black hole is possible for naked singularity with dimensionless tidal charge $β< 0.25$, and $β\in (0.25, 1)$ with sufficiently low spin. In other cases the accretion ends in a transcendental state. For $0.25 < β< 1$ this is a mining unstable K-N naked singularity enabling formally unlimited energy extraction from the naked singularity. In the case of $β> 1$, the corotating accretion creates unlimited torodial structure of mater orbiting the naked singularity. Both non-standard outcomes of the corotating accretion imply a transcendence of such naked singularity due to nonlinear gravitational effects.

description: Decades of research have established that the home language environment, especially quality of caregiver speech, supports language acquisition during infancy. However, the neural mechanisms behind this phenomenon remain under studied. In the current study, we examined associations between the home language environment and structural coherence of white matter tracts in 52 typically developing infants from English speaking homes in a western society. Infants participated in at least one MRI brain scan when they were 3, 6, 12, and/or 24 months old. Home language recordings were collected when infants were 9 and/or 15 months old. General linear regression models indicated that infants who heard the most adult words and participated in the most conversational turns at 9 months of age also had the lowest fractional anisotropy in the left posterior parieto-temporal arcuate fasciculus at 24 months. Similarly, infants who vocalized the most at 9 months also had the lowest fractional anisotropy in the same tract at 6 months of age. This is one of the first studies to report significant associations between caregiver speech collected in the home and white matter structural coherence in the infant brain. The results are in line with prior work showing that protracted white matter development during infancy confers a cognitive advantage.

description: The metaverse promises a host of bright opportunities for business, economics, and society. Though, a number of critical aspects are still to be considered and the analysis of their impact is almost non-existent. In this paper, we provide several contributions. We start by analysing the foundations of the metaverse, later we focus on the novel privacy and security issues introduced by this new paradigm, and finally we broaden the scope of the contribution highlighting some of the far-reaching yet logical implications of the metaverse on a number of domains, not all of them in tech. Throughout the paper, we also discuss possible research directions. We believe that the provided holistic view on the foundations, technology, and issues related to the metaverse-with a focus on security and privacy-, other than being an interesting contribution on its own, could also pave the way for a few multidisciplinary research avenues.

description: Heterostructures prepared from graphene and fluorographene (FG) using the technology of 2D printing on solid and flexible substrates were fabricated and studied. Excellent stability of printed graphene layers and, to a lesser degree, composite graphene: PEDOT: PSS layers were shown. Extraordinary properties of FG as an insulating layer for graphene-based heterostructures at fluorination degree above 30% were demonstrated. It is shown that the leakage current in thin (20-40 nm) films is normally smaller than 10^-8 A/cm2, the breakdown field being greater than 108 V/cm. In hybrid structures with printed FG layers in which graphene was transferred onto, or capsulated with, an FG layer, an increase in charge-carrier mobility and material conductivity amounting to 5-6 times was observed. The spectrum of future applications of FG layers can be further extended due to the possibility of obtaining, from weakly fluorinated graphene (< 20%), functional layers exhibiting a negative differential resistance behavior and, at fluorination degrees of 20-23%, field-effect-transistor channels with current modulation reaching several orders. Composite or bilayer films based on fluorographene and V2O5 or polyvinyl alcohol exhibit a stable resistive switching behavior. On the whole, graphene/FG heterostructures enjoy huge potential for their use in a wide spectrum of application, including flexible electronics.

description: Zinc-diffusion can induce multiple failures in the electrical performance of a multijunction solar cell. In this work, we show an important Zn-diffusion from the AlGaInP back-surface-field layer to the emitter of the GaInP top cell of an inverted multijunction solar cell. Through the analysis of different doping profiles, we provide strong evidence that the diffusion mechanism is (1) triggered by the growth of the tunnel junction cathode and (2) involves point defects. We analyze the implications of Zn-diffusion on the bandgap, the rear-passivation and the minority carrier quality of the GaInP solar subcell by relating the electrical performance of different samples to its corresponding doping profile.

description: In recent years, the rapidly increasing number of reads produced by next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies has driven the demand for efficient implementations of sequence alignments in bioinformatics. However, current state-of-the-art approaches are not able to leverage the massively parallel processing capabilities of modern GPUs with close-to-peak performance. We present AnySeq/GPU-a sequence alignment library that augments the AnySeq1 library with a novel approach for accelerating dynamic programming (DP) alignment on GPUs by minimizing memory accesses using warp shuffles and half-precision arithmetic. Our implementation is based on the AnyDSL compiler framework which allows for convenient zero-cost abstractions through guaranteed partial evaluation. We show that our approach achieves over 80% of the peak performance on both NVIDIA and AMD GPUs thereby outperforming the GPU-based alignment libraries AnySeq1, GASAL2, ADEPT, and NVBIO by a factor of at least 3.6 while achieving a median speedup of 19.2x over these tools across different alignment scenarios and sequence lengths when running on the same hardware. This leads to throughputs of up to 1.7 TCUPS (tera cell updates per second) on an NVIDIA GV100, up to 3.3 TCUPS with half-precision arithmetic on a single NVIDIA A100, and up to 3.8 TCUPS on an AMD MI100.

description: Large-area light-emitting diodes (LEDs) fabricated by mass-production techniques are needed for low-cost flat-panel lighting. Nevertheless, it is still challenging to fabricate efficient large-area LEDs using organic small molecules (OLEDs), quantum dots (QLEDs), polymers (PLEDs), and recently-developed hybrid perovskites (PeLEDs) due to difficulties controlling film uniformity. To that end, we report sol-gel engineering of low-temperature blade-coated methylammonium lead iodide (MAPbI3) perovskite films. The precipitation, gelation, aging, and phase transformation stages are dramatically shortened by using a diluted, organoammonium-excessed precursor, resulting in ultra-flat large-area films (54 cm2) with roughness reaching 1 nm. The external quantum efficiency of doctor-bladed PeLEDs reaches 16.1%, higher than that of best-performing blade-coated OLEDs, QLEDs, and PLEDs. Furthermore, benefitting from the throughput of the blade-coating process and cheap materials, the expected cost of the emissive layer is projected to be as low as 0.02 cents per cm2, emphasizing its application potential.

description: Ferroelasticity represents material domains possessing spontaneous strain that can be switched by external stress. Three-dimensional perovskites like methylammonium lead iodide are determined to be ferroelastic. Layered perovskites have been applied in optoelectronic devices with outstanding performance. However, the understanding of lattice strain and ferroelasticity in layered perovskites is still lacking. Here, using the in-situ observation of switching domains in layered perovskite single crystals under external strain, we discover the evidence of ferroelasticity in layered perovskites with layer number more than one, while the perovskites with single octahedra layer do not show ferroelasticity. Density functional theory calculation shows that ferroelasticity in layered perovskites originates from the distortion of inorganic octahedra resulting from the rotation of aspherical methylammonium cations. The absence of methylammonium cations in single layer perovskite accounts for the lack of ferroelasticity. These ferroelastic domains do not induce non-radiative recombination or reduce the photoluminescence quantum yield.
