description: The cecum is a unique region in the mammalian intestinal tract in which the microbiome is localized to two compartments, the lumen and the crypts. The microbiome within crypts is particularly important as it is in direct contact with lining epithelial cells including stem cells. Here, we analyzed the microbiome in cecum of mice using multiple techniques including metagenomics. The lumen microbiome comprised Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes whereas the crypts were dominated by Proteobacteria and Deferribacteres, and the mucus comprised a mixture of these 4 phyla. The lumen microbial functional potential comprised mainly carbon metabolism, while the crypt microbiome was enriched for genes encoding stress resistance. In order to determine how this structure, assembly, and function are altered under provocative conditions, we exposed mice to overnight starvation (S), antibiotics (A), and a major surgical injury (partial hepatectomy [H]), as occurs with major surgery in humans. We have previously demonstrated that the combined effect of this "SAH" treatment leads to a major disturbance of the cecal microbiota at the bottom of crypts in a manner that disrupts crypt cell homeostasis. Here, we applied the SAH conditions and observed a loss of compartmentalization in both composition and function of the cecal microbiome associated with major shifts in local physicochemical cues including decrease of hypoxia, increase of pH, and loss of butyrate production. Taken together, these studies demonstrated a defined order, structure, and function of the cecal microbiome that can be disrupted under provocative conditions such as major surgery and its attendant exposures.IMPORTANCE The proximal colon and cecum are two intestinal regions in which the microbiome localizes to two spatially distinct compartments, the lumen and crypts. The differences in composition and function of luminal and crypt microbiome in the cecum and the effect of physiological stress on their compartmentalization remain poorly characterized. Here, we characterized the composition and function of the lumen-, mucus-, and crypt-associated microbiome in the cecum of mice. We observed a highly ordered microbial architecture within the cecum whose assembly and function become markedly disrupted when provoked by physiological stress such as surgery and its attendant preoperative treatments (i.e., overnight fasting and antibiotics). Major shifts in local physicochemical cues including a decrease in hypoxia levels, an increase in pH, and a loss of butyrate production were associated with the loss of compositional and functional compartmentalization of the cecal microbiome.

description: A prominent feature of the dynamics of large neuronal networks are the synchrony- driven collective oscillations generated by the interplay between synaptic coupling and synaptic delays. This thesis investigates the emergence of delay-induced oscillations in networks of heterogeneous spiking neurons. Building on recent theoretical advances in exact mean field reductions for neuronal networks, this work explores the dynamics and bifurcations of an exact firing rate model with various forms of synaptic delays. In parallel, the results obtained using the novel firing rate model are compared with extensive numerical simulations of large networks of spiking neurons, which confirm the existence of numerous synchrony-based oscillatory states. Some of these states are novel and display complex forms of partial synchronization and collective chaos. Given the well-known limitation of traditional firing rate models to describe synchrony-based oscillations, previous studies greatly overlooked many of the oscillatory states found here. Therefore, this thesis provides a unique exploration of the oscillatory scenarios found in neuronal networks due to the presence of delays, and may substantially extend the mathematical tools available for modeling the plethora of oscillations detected in electrical recordings of brain activity.

description: Studying the variability of the accretion disks of black holes and jets is important to identify their internal physical processes. In this letter, we obtain the characteristic damping timescale of 34 blazars and seven microquasars from the Fermi-Large Area Telescope and the XMM-Newton X-ray telescope, respectively. We found that the mass-scaled characteristic timescales, ranging from the microquasars of stellar-mass black holes to the blazars of supermassive black holes, exhibited a linear relationship with a slope of $\sim$0.57. Given the fact the damping timescales of the $γ$-ray in the blazars are associated with the jet, we propose that the timescales of the X-ray in these microquasars are also related with the jet. The mass-scaled damping timescale that we found was consistent with the radiation of the optical accretion disk. This can be attributed to the viscous timescale at the ultraviolet-emitting radii of the disk, which can affect the jet. Our study provides a new perspective on the origin of the region of radiation and the possible disk--jet connection based on time-domain analysis.

description: Oxygen plays a central role in cellular metabolism, in both healthy and tumour tissue. The presence and concentration of molecular oxygen in tumours has a substantial effect on both radiotherapy response and tumour evolution, and as a result the oxygen micro-environment is an area of intense research interest. Multicellular tumour spheroids closely mimic real avascular tumours, and in particular they exhibit physiologically relevant heterogeneous oxygen distribution. This property has made them a vital part of in vitro experimentation. For ideal spheroids, their heterogeneous oxygen distributions can be predicted from theory, allowing determination of cellular oxygen consumption rate (OCR) and anoxic extent. However, experimental tumour spheroids often depart markedly from perfect sphericity. There has been little consideration of this reality. To date, the question of how far an ellipsoid can diverge from perfect sphericity before spherical assumptions breakdown remains unanswered. In this work, we derive equations governing oxygen distribution (and more generally, nutrient and drug distribution) in both prolate and oblate tumour ellipsoids, and quantify the theoretical limits of the assumption that the spheroid is a perfect sphere. Results of this analysis yield new methods for quantifying OCR in ellipsoidal spheroids, and how this can be applied to markedly increase experimental throughput and quality.

description: We present an accurate analytic fitting formula for the numerical results for the relativistic corrections to the thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect for clusters of galaxies. The numerical results for the relativistic corrections have been obtained by numerical integration of the collision term of the Boltzmann equation. The fitting is carried out for the ranges 0.02 < theta_{e} < 0.05 and 0 < X < 20, where theta_{e} = k_{B}T_{e}/m_{e}c^{2}, X = omega/k_{B}T_{0}, T_{e} is the electron temperature, omega is the angular frequency of the photon, and T_{0} is the temperature of the cosmic microwave background radiation. The accuracy of the fitting is generally better than 0.1%. The present analytic fitting formula will be useful for the analyses of the thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect for high-temperature galaxy clusters.

An ``Improved" Lattice Study of Semi-leptonic Decays of D-Mesons

description: We present results of a lattice computation of the matrix elements of the vector and axial-vector currents which are relevant for the semi-leptonic decays $D \rightarrow K$ and $D \rightarrow K^*$. The computations are performed in the quenched approximation to lattice QCD on a $24^3 \times 48$ lattice at $β=6.2$, using an $O(a)$-improved fermionic action. In the limit of zero lepton masses the semi-leptonic decays $D \rightarrow K$ and $D \rightarrow K^*$ are described by four form factors: $f^{+}_K,V,A_1$ and $A_2$, which are functions of $q^2$, where $q^μ$ is the four-momentum transferred in the process. Our results for these form factors at $q^2=0$ are: $f^+_K(0)=0.67 \er{7}{8}$ , $V(0)=1.01 \err{30}{13}$ , $A_1(0)=0.70 \err{7}{10}$ , $A_2(0)=0.66 \err{10}{15}$ , which are consistent with the most recent experimental world average values. We have also determined the $q^2$ dependence of the form factors, which we find to be reasonably well described by a simple pole-dominance model. Results for other form factors, including those relevant to the decays \dpi and \drho, are also given.

description: Recently, Jones et al. (1997) used the Ryle telescope, operating at a frequency of 15 GHz, to detect a flux decrement in the direction of the quasar pair PC1643+461A,B. They interpreted this signal as the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect (SZE) produced by a distant cluster of galaxies. In the course of an effort to measure CMB anisotropies using the VLA at 8.4 GHz, Richards et al. (1997) detected a similar, but smaller, decrement which we refer to as VLA1312+4237. They also proposed that this signal might be explained as the SZE signal of a distant galaxy cluster. We report observations in the direction of these claimed sources with the Berkeley Illinois Maryland Association (BIMA) interferometer operating at 28.5 GHz. We find no evidence for SZE emission in the direction of either of the claimed sources. In the case of PC1643+4631, the BIMA data are inconsistent with the cluster emission model proposed by Jones et al. (1997) at greater than 99.99% confidence. Together with published x-ray and optical searches, these results make a compelling case against the existence of a massive cluster in the direction of PC1643+4631. Because of the different scales to which the VLA and BIMA instruments are sensitive, the BIMA observations are not as constraining for the VLA1312+4237 source. The BIMA data are inconsistent with the cluster model proposed by Richards et al. (1997) at approximately 80% confidence.

Estimates for a general fractional relaxation equation and application to an inverse source problem

description: A general fractional relaxation equation is considered with a convolutional derivative in time introduced by A. Kochubei (Integr. Equ. Oper. Theory 71 (2011), 583-600). This equation generalizes the single-term, multi-term and distributed-order fractional relaxation equations. The fundamental and the impulse-response solutions are studied in detail. Properties such as analyticity and subordination identities are established and employed in the proof of an upper and a lower bound. The obtained results extend some known properties of the Mittag-Leffler functions. As an application of the estimates, uniqueness and conditional stability are established for an inverse source problem for the general time-fractional diffusion equation on a bounded domain.
Geometrical Volume Effects in the Computation of the Slope of the Isgur-Wise Function

description: We use a method recently suggested for evaluating the slope of the Isgur-Wise function, at the zero-recoil point, on the lattice. The computations are performed in the quenched approximation to lattice QCD, on a $24^3 \times 48$ lattice at $β=6.2$, using an $O(a)$-improved action for the fermions. We have found unexpectedly large finite-volume effects in such a calculation. These volume corrections turned out to be purely geometrical and independent of the dynamics of the system. After the study of these effects on a smaller volume and for different quark masses, we give approximate expressions that account for them. Using these approximations we find $ξ^\prime(1)=-1.7 \pm 0.2$ and $ξ^\prime(1)=-1.4 +0.2-0.1$ for the slope of the Isgur-Wise function, for two mesons composed of a heavy quark slightly heavier and lighter, respectively, than the charm quark, and in both cases, a light antiquark whose mass is about that of the strange quark.

description: We report the detection of molecular absorption lines at z=0.7645 towards the radio-loud QSO PMN 0134-0931. The CO J=2-1 and HCO+ J=2-1 lines are seen in absorption along two different lines of sight to lensed images of the background QSO. The lines of sight are separated by ~0.7", corresponding to 5 kpc in the lens plane. PMN 0134-0931 represents one out of only five known molecular absorption line systems at cosmologically significant distances. Moreover, it is also one of three such systems where the absorption occurs in a galaxy acting as a gravitational lens. The absorption lines through the two lines of sight are shifted by 215+/-8 km/s, possibly representing rotational motion in one of the lensing galaxies. The absorption profiles are wide, ~200 km/s, suggesting that the absorption occurs in a highly inclined disk galaxy with a flat rotation curve and a cloud-cloud velocity dispersion ~30 km/s. Gravitational lens models require two equal mass galaxies to account for the observed configuration of lensed images. The presence of two galaxies in close proximity means that they might be interacting and potentially merging and the kinematics of the molecular gas may not reflect ordered rotational motion. The column densities of both CO and HCO+ are normal for diffuse molecular gas towards one of the lensed images, but significantly higher towards the other. Also, the abundance ratio N(CO)/N(HCO+) is 2-3 times higher than in typical diffuse molecular gas. It is plausible that the second line of sight probes denser molecular gas than what is normally the case for absorption.

description: We have used the Berkeley-Illinois-Maryland-Association (BIMA) millimeter array outfitted with sensitive cm-wave receivers to search for Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropies on arcminute scales. The interferometer was placed in a compact configuration which produces high brightness sensitivity, while providing discrimination against point sources. Operating at a frequency of 28.5 GHz, the FWHM primary beam of the instrument is 6.6 arcminutes. We have made sensitive images of seven fields, five of which where chosen specifically to have low IR dust contrast and be free of bright radio sources. Additional observations with the Owens Valley Radio Observatory (OVRO) millimeter array were used to assist in the location and removal of radio point sources. Applying a Bayesian analysis to the raw visibility data, we place limits on CMB anisotropy flat-band power Q_flat = 5.6 (+3.0 -5.6) uK and Q_flat < 14.1 uK at 68% and 95% confidence. The sensitivity of this experiment to flat band power peaks at a multipole of l = 5470, which corresponds to an angular scale of approximately 2 arcminutes. The most likely value of Q_flat is similar to the level of the expected secondary anisotropies.

description: The main bottleneck for universal quantum computation with traveling light is the preparation of Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill states of sufficient quality. This is an extremely challenging task, experimental as well as theoretical, also because there is currently no single easily computable measure of quality for these states. We introduce such measure, GKP squeezing, and show how it is related to the current ways of characterizing the states. The measure is easy to compute and can be easily employed in state preparation as well as verification of experimental results.

description: We have obtained deep B and R-band CCD photometry for 5 dE galaxies that were previously identified on Schmidt films covering the Cen A group region. From a Fourier analysis of the R-band CCD images we determined the surface brightness fluctuation (SBF) magnitude for each stellar system. All magnitudes are similar and suggest that these low surface brightness galaxies lie approximately at the same distance, regardless of the assumed SBF zero point. Long-slit spectra have been acquired to derive redshifts for two of the dwarfs, ESO269-066 and ESO384-016. The velocities identify them unambiguously as Cen A group members. An age - metallicity analysis of the spectra reveals an underlying old and metal-poor stellar population in both cases. Combining photometric and spectroscopic results we find strong evidence that indeed all dEs are Cen A group members. Based on accurate distances published for the two main Cen A group galaxies NGC5128 and NGC5253, we adopted a mean group distance of 3.96 Mpc to calibrate the apparent fluctuation magnitudes. The resulting absolute SBF magnitudes \bar{M}_R of the dEs correlate with the colours (B-R)_0 as good agreement allows a calibration of the SBF method for dEs in the colour range 0.8

Challenges in Discriminating Profanity from Hate Speech

Year: 2018

description: In this study we approach the problem of distinguishing general profanity from hate speech in social media, something which has not been widely considered. Using a new dataset annotated specifically for this task, we employ supervised classification along with a set of features that includes n-grams, skip-grams and clustering-based word representations. We apply approaches based on single classifiers as well as more advanced ensemble classifiers and stacked generalization, achieving the best result of 80% accuracy for this 3-class classification task. Analysis of the results reveals that discriminating hate speech and profanity is not a simple task, which may require features that capture a deeper understanding of the text not always possible with surface n-grams. The variability of gold labels in the annotated data, due to differences in the subjective adjudications of the annotators, is also an issue. Other directions for future work are discussed.

description: Students learn English with different educational backgrounds at institute level. Through this course, students can get the opportunity to develop their English competence for their learning success and future professional needs. To maximize the attainments of the goals, ESP teachers need to design ESP courses relevant to the students’ needs and conditions. This study surveyed 200 non-English major students (IPER institute) to investigate their needs in learning English, learning attitude, and language learning strategies. The results reveal students still lacking in all English skills and language use. Therefore, ESP teachers should provide learning materials and inputs that can develop students’ English competence. ESP teachers need to struggle to make non-English major students hold a positive attitude toward English language learning. This finding showed that even though the students had confidence and motivation in learning English, they felt anxious and insecure during the teaching and learning process. Since this study involved non-English major students from different educational backgrounds, it was found that students’ language learning strategies were various. The results did not show certain strategies used by the students in learning English in higher education. ESP teachers should provide a variety of teaching techniques that can help students maximize their English language learning.

description: We present an analysis of the continuum extrapolation of $f_B$ in the static approximation from lattice data. The method described here aims to uncover the systematic effects which enter in this extrapolation and has not been described before. Our conclusions are that we see statistical evidence for scaling of $f_B^{stat}$ for inverse lattice spacings $\gtap 2$ GeV but not for $\ltap 2$ GeV. We observe a lack of {\em asymptotic} scaling for a variety of quantities, including $f_B^{stat}$, at all energy scales considered. This can be associated with finite lattice spacing systematics. Once these effects are taken into account, we obtain a value of 230(35) MeV for $f_B^{stat}$ in the continuum where the error represents uncertainties due to both the statistics and the continuum extrapolation. In this method there is no error due to uncertainties in the renormalization constant connecting the lattice and continuum effective theories.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

On the Stability of Stellar Systems with Double Massive Centre
Creators: name: Bekarian, K. M.
name: Melkonian, A. A.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1999
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The Ricci curvature criterion is used for the investigation of the relative instability of several configurations of N-body gravitating systems. It is shown, that the systems with double massive centers are more unstable than the homogeneous systems and those with one massive center. In general this shows the efficiency of the Ricci curvature method introduced by Gurzadyan and Kocharyan (1987) for the study of N-body systems via relatively simple calculations, i.e. for small N, and hence small computer resources.

Event-based dataset for the detection and classification of manufacturing assembly tasks
Creators: name: Duarte, Laura
name: Neto, Pedro
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (cs.CV)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: The featured dataset, the Event-based Dataset of Assembly Tasks (EDAT24), showcases a selection of manufacturing primitive tasks (idle, pick, place, and screw), which are basic actions performed by human operators in any manufacturing assembly. The data were captured using a DAVIS240C event camera, an asynchronous vision sensor that registers events when changes in light intensity value occur. Events are a lightweight data format for conveying visual information and are well-suited for real-time detection and analysis of human motion. Each manufacturing primitive has 100 recorded samples of DAVIS240C data, including events and greyscale frames, for a total of 400 samples. In the dataset, the user interacts with objects from the open-source CT-Benchmark in front of the static DAVIS event camera. All data are made available in raw form (.aedat) and in pre-processed form (.npy). Custom-built Python code is made available together with the dataset to aid researchers to add new manufacturing primitives or extend the dataset with more samples.

description: Bragg waveguides are promising optical filters for pump suppression in spontaneous Four-Wave Mixing (FWM) photon sources. In this work, we investigate the generation of unwanted photon pairs in the filter itself. We do this by taking advantage of the relation between spontaneous and classical FWM, which allows for the precise characterisation of the nonlinear response of the device. The pair generation rate estimated from the classical measurement is compared with the theoretical value calculated by means of a full quantum model of the filter, which also allows to investigate the spectral properties of the generated pairs. We find a good agreement between theory and experiment, confirming that stimulated FWM is a valuable approach to characterise the nonlinear response of an integrated filter, and that the pairs generated in a Bragg waveguide are not a serious issue for the operation of a fully integrated nonclassical source.

description: An elementary cellular automaton with memory is a chain of finite state machines (cells) updating their state simultaneously and by the same rule. Each cell updates its current state depending on current states of its immediate neighbours and a certain number of its own past states. Some cell-state transition rules support gliders, compact patterns of non-quiescent states translating along the chain. We present designs of logical gates, including reversible Fredkin gate and controlled NOT gate, implemented via collisions between gliders.

description: Providing timely and personalized feedback to large numbers of students is a long-standing challenge in programming courses. Relying on human teaching assistants (TAs) has been extensively studied, revealing a number of potential shortcomings. These include inequitable access for students with low confidence when needing support, as well as situations where TAs provide direct solutions without helping students to develop their own problem-solving skills. With the advent of powerful large language models (LLMs), digital teaching assistants configured for programming contexts have emerged as an appealing and scalable way to provide instant, equitable, round-the-clock support. Although digital TAs can provide a variety of help for programming tasks, from high-level problem solving advice to direct solution generation, the effectiveness of such tools depends on their ability to promote meaningful learning experiences. If students find the guardrails implemented in digital TAs too constraining, or if other expectations are not met, they may seek assistance in ways that do not help them learn. Thus, it is essential to identify the features that students believe make digital teaching assistants valuable. We deployed an LLM-powered digital assistant in an introductory programming course and collected student feedback ($n=813$) on the characteristics of the tool they perceived to be most important. Our results highlight that students value such tools for their ability to provide instant, engaging support, particularly during peak times such as before assessment deadlines. They also expressed a strong preference for features that enable them to retain autonomy in their learning journey, such as scaffolding that helps to guide them through problem-solving steps rather than simply being shown direct solutions.

Asymmetry and Inhomogeneity in Proto and Young Planetary Nebulae
Creators: name: Soker, Noam
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1999
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: I study some effects of aspherical mass loss during the last stages of the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) on the appearance of proto planetary nebulae (PNs) and young PNs. The aspherical mass loss can be small scale inhomogeneities, and/or axially symmetric mass loss geometry. I first examine the role of the dust opacity in the optical band on the appearance of proto-PNs. I conclude that large optical depth will be found in proto-PNs which are descendant of AGB stars having high equatorial mass loss rates, which require a stellar binary companion for their existence. These proto-PNs will become bipolar-PNs, i.e., PNs with two lobes an an equatorial waist between them, or extreme elliptical PNs. I then derive the conditions for the enhancement of non-radial density inhomogeneity by the propagation of the ionization front at the early PN stages. The ionization will proceed faster in the radial direction along low density regions. The low density regions will be heated earlier, and they will expand due to their higher pressures, reducing further their densities. The opposite occurs in high density regions.

Chiral Quark Dynamics in Dense Nuclear Matter
Creators: name: Forkel, Hilmar
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1994
Subjects: subject: Nuclear Theory (nucl-th)
subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We consider a new approach to the description of dense nuclear matter in the framework of chirally symmetric, quark-based hadron models. As previously in the Skyrme model, the dense environment is described in terms of hyperspherical cells of unit baryon number. The intrinsic curvature of these cells generates a new gauge interaction for the quark fields which mediates interactions with the ambient matter. We apply this approach to the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model, construct its curved-space quark propagator and solve the ladder Bethe-Salpeter equation for the pion. We find a high-density phase transition to chiral restoration, discuss the density dependence of the chiral order parameter and of the pion properties, and compare with results of the conventional chemical-potential approach. The new approach can additionally describe baryon-density-free cavities in the dense medium.

description: This study investigates the spatial and temporal characteristics of L1 amplitude scintillation-causing ionospheric irregularities over the Eastern Arabian Peninsula during the ascending phase of solar cycle 25 (years 2020--2023). The temporal occurrences of weak and strong scintillation were separated by sunset, with weak scintillation observed predominantly pre-sunset during the winter solstice and strong scintillation observed mainly post-sunset during the autumnal equinox. Strong scintillation was much more pronounced in 2023 compared to the other three years, indicating a strong influence of solar activity. Spatially, weak-scintillation-causing irregularities exhibited a wide distribution in azimuth and elevation, while strong-scintillation-causing irregularities were concentrated southwards. The combined analysis of S4 and rate of total electron content index (ROTI) suggested that small-scale ionospheric irregularities were present in both pre- and post-sunset periods, while large-scale irregularities were only seen during the post-sunset period. Furthermore, the presence of southward traveling ionospheric disturbances (TIDs) during the 2023 autumnal equinox was confirmed with the total electron content anomaly ($Δ\text{TEC}$), while the Ionospheric Bubble Index (IBI) provided by the Swarm mission was unable to confirm the presence of equatorial plasma bubbles during the same period. Observations from the FORMOSAT-7/COSMIC-2 mission indicated that strong-scintillation-causing irregularities were more prevalent under the F2-layer peak, while the weak-scintillation-causing irregularities were mostly observed at the E-layer, F2-layer, and above the F2-layer.
