description: Abstract: This study investigates whether there is a relation between how motion is linguistically expressed and how it is conceptualised. To do this, native speakers of two languages that differ typologically in how they encode telic motion (English and Spanish) are compared in both a verbal and a non-verbal experiment. The preferred non-verbal methods to test the linguistic relativity hypothesis in this domain have so far been recognition memory and binary judgments. This study questions the experimental validity of these approaches and implements an alternative method which combines similarity ratings with a verbal interference manipulation. The results reported here constitute evidence against linguistic relativity and in support of cognitive universalism.

description: Plant mechanical failure, also known as lodging, is the cause of significant and unpredictable yield losses in cereal crops. Lodging occurs in two distinct failure modes - stalk lodging and root lodging. Despite the prevalence and detrimental impact of lodging on crop yields, there is little consensus on how to phenotype plants in the field for lodging resistance and thus breed for mechanically resilient plants. This review provides an overview of field-based mechanical testing approaches to assess stalk and root lodging resistance. These approaches are placed in the context of future perspectives. Best practices and recommendations for acquiring field-based mechanical phenotypes of plants are also presented.

description: We introduce in this paper the notion of noncommutative Serre fibration (shortly, NCSF) and show that up to homotopy, every NCCW complex morphism is some noncommutative Serre fibration. We then deduce a six-term exact sequence for the periodic cyclic homology and for K-theory of an arbitrary noncommutative Serre fibration. We also show how to use this technique to compute K-theory and cyclic theory of some noncommutative quotients.

description: Abstract: Background: Since the 2009 A/H1N1 pandemic, Public Health England have developed a suite of real-time statistical models utilising enhanced pandemic surveillance data to nowcast and forecast a future pandemic. Their ability to track seasonal influenza and predict heightened winter healthcare burden in the light of high activity in Australia in 2017 was untested. Methods: Four transmission models were used in forecasting the 2017/2018 seasonal influenza epidemic in England: a stratified primary care model using daily, region-specific, counts and virological swab positivity of influenza-like illness consultations in general practice (GP); a strain-specific (SS) model using weekly, national GP ILI and virological data; an intensive care model (ICU) using reports of ICU influenza admissions; and a synthesis model that included all data sources. For the first 12 weeks of 2018, each model was applied to the latest data to provide estimates of epidemic parameters and short-term influenza forecasts. The added value of pre-season population susceptibility data was explored. Results: The combined results provided valuable nowcasts of the state of the epidemic. Short-term predictions of burden on primary and secondary health services were initially highly variable before reaching consensus beyond the observed peaks in activity between weeks 3–4 of 2018. Estimates for R0 were consistent over time for three of the four models until week 12 of 2018, and there was consistency in the estimation of R0 across the SPC and SS models, and in the ICU attack rates estimated by the ICU and the synthesis model. Estimation and predictions varied according to the assumed levels of pre-season immunity. Conclusions: This exercise successfully applied a range of pandemic models to seasonal influenza. Forecasting early in the season remains challenging but represents a crucially important activity to inform planning. Improved knowledge of pre-existing levels of immunity would be valuable.

description: Utility directors are responsible for ensuring uninterrupted critical services such as power and water, responding to disruptions, recovering normal operations, and make critical decisions during the evacuation phase if necessary. However, they face numerous challenges regarding situational awareness surrounding events such as natural disasters. Key challenges faced by utility personnel involve timely resource allocation and trade-off decisions given limited resources, and comprehending the interdependencies between systems to fully grasp crisis impacts. Despite the availability of computational models designed to enhance infrastructures restoration and evacuation procedures, their adoption in practice has remained limited. To address this gap, this thesis proposes an innovative approach integrating computational models with serious games allowing for training utility mangers, data collection, and evaluating their strategies through a feedback learning environment. It introduces two distinct games, including Go-Repair for infrastructures restoration and Go-Rescue for flood evacuation decisions. These simulation-based games offer a platform for experiential learning, enabling managers to develop decision-making skills in realistic scenarios during both evacuation and infrastructure restoration phases. This ultimately leads to improved disaster response and mitigation. Utility managers from Arlington County, Virginia, are recruited to assess the effectiveness of these games in improving training outcomes, understanding human decision-making processes throughout the event lifecycle, and creating an interactive learning platform with iterative feedback.

Quasi-energy-independent solar neutrino transitions

description: Current solar, atmospheric, and reactor neutrino data still allow oscillation scenarios where the squared mass differences are all close to 10^-3 eV^2, rather than being hierarchically separated. For solar neutrinos, this situation (realized in the upper part of the so-called large-mixing angle solution) implies adiabatic transitions which depend weakly on the neutrino energy and on the matter density, as well as on the ``atmospheric'' squared mass difference. In such a regime of ``quasi-energy-independent'' (QEI) transitions, intermediate between the more familiar ``Mikheyev-Smirnov-Wolfenstein'' (MSW) and energy-independent (EI) regimes, we first perform analytical calculations of the solar nu_e survival probability at first order in the matter density, beyond the usual hierarchical approximations. We then provide accurate, generalized expressions for the solar neutrino mixing angles in matter, which reduce to those valid in the MSW, QEI and EI regimes in appropriate limits. Finally, a representative QEI scenario is discussed in some detail.

description: Odor identification is an important area in a wide range of industries like cosmetics, food, beverages and medical diagnosis among others. Odor detection could be done through an array of gas sensors conformed as an electronic nose where a data acquisition module converts sensor signals to a standard output to be analyzed. To facilitate odors detection a system is required for the identification. This paper presents the results of an automated odor identification process implemented by a fuzzy system and an electronic nose. First, an electronic nose prototype is manufactured to detect organic compounds vapor using an array of five tin dioxide gas sensors, an arduino uno board is used as a data acquisition section. Second, an intelligent module with a fuzzy system is considered for the identification of the signals received by the electronic nose. This solution proposes a system to identify odors by using a personal computer. Results show an acceptable precision.

description: Smilax L. in Brazil is represented by 32 taxa, known as sarsaparilla or japecanga, which have great medical interest. In this paper we describe the anatomy of S. quinquenervia Vell., S. stenophylla A.DC. and S. subsessiliflora Dunham. with the aim of selecting anatomical characters that can support the taxonomy of Smilacaceae. The leaves were sliced with a microtome manual type Ranvier. The sections were stained using a mixture Astra blue - modified Safranin and prepared on slides. It was analyzed the median portions of the leaf blade (intercostal region, edge and nerve), petiole (with tendrils) and the sheath. Cross and paradermic sections were prepared in accordance with the usual techniques in plant anatomy. The results show that species have common characteristics, such as epidermis, consisting of polygonal cells in cross section and cells with anticlinal walls straight to paradermic slightly winding section, homogeneous me- sophyll, collateral vascular bundles stuffed by a sheath of sclerenchyma fibers ; idioblasts containing raphides, immersed in the mesophyll and leaf hipostomatic with anomocytic and paracytic types of stomata. The results were analyzed in an adaptive and taxonomic context. Thus, the leaf anatomy provides new informa- tion for the species, which have leaf structure quite similar to that reported for Smilacaceae.
Fluctuating "Pulled" Fronts: the Origin and the Effects of a Finite Particle Cutoff

description: Recently it has been shown that when an equation that allows so-called pulled fronts in the mean-field limit is modelled with a stochastic model with a finite number $N$ of particles per correlation volume, the convergence to the speed $v^*$ for $N \to \infty$ is extremely slow -- going only as $\ln^{-2}N$. In this paper, we study the front propagation in a simple stochastic lattice model. A detailed analysis of the microscopic picture of the front dynamics shows that for the description of the far tip of the front, one has to abandon the idea of a uniformly translating front solution. The lattice and finite particle effects lead to a ``stop-and-go'' type dynamics at the far tip of the front, while the average front behind it ``crosses over'' to a uniformly translating solution. In this formulation, the effect of stochasticity on the asymptotic front speed is coded in the probability distribution of the times required for the advancement of the ``foremost bin''. We derive expressions of these probability distributions by matching the solution of the far tip with the uniformly translating solution behind. This matching includes various correlation effects in a mean-field type approximation. Our results for the probability distributions compare well to the results of stochastic numerical simulations. This approach also allows us to deal with much smaller values of $N$ than it is required to have the $\ln^{-2}N$ asymptotics to be valid.

title: Transit Depth Variations of Young Warm Neptune AU Mic b
Creators: name: Aldridge, Kyle
Publisher: name: George Mason University
Year: 2024

description: We present a study of transit depth variations of AU Mic b. The 33 transit observations used in this study were made by nine telescopes and were previously used to investigate the transit timing variations of the AU Mic planetary system. We modeled the light curves with EXOFASTv2, allowing for independent constraints on planetary parameters and allowed for each transit to have an independent transit depth. We then constructed a broadband transmission spectrum. Then, we modeled AU Mic b’s atmospheric spectrum using NASA’s Planetary Spectrum Generator (PSG). AU Mic b’s 7-4 spin orbit resonance with its host star allowed us to probe transit depth at one of four possible stellar longitude ranges per transit number. At 0.7865 microns, as observed by TESS, AU Mic b has an average Rp/R⋆ of 0.05048+0.00073−0.00088, while at 4.5 microns, as observed by Spitzer, AU Mic b has an average Rp/R⋆ of 0.04552+0.00092−0.00097. Our model atmospheres, with an average Rp/R⋆ of 0.05111 at 4.5 microns, indicate AU Mic b should be larger if unaffected by noise or stellar activity. Our investigation of transit depth per stellar longitude range shows no obvious effect of spot modulation. Given these results, and the previous studies on the young warm Neptune K2-33b, that resulted in the rejection of starspots and photochemical hazes, we conclude circumplanetary material is likely to exist around AU Mic b. If AU Mic b has circumplanetary material, this would present the opportunity to study it at an early age and close distance. This would be useful because circumplanetary material is challenging to observe.

description: A survey of the Smilax species (Smilacaceae) was conducted in a sandy coastal plain vegetation ("restingas") in Rio das Ostras municipality, Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil (22o 31' 37’’ S and 41o 56' 42’’ O). The aim was to identify and catalogue the species of the local flora. Botanical collections, field observations and morphological studies were done for identification, description and botanical illustration of the plant species, also supported by the literature and analysis of Brazilian and foreign herbaria, plus specimens from EAN and JPB herbaria. Five species of Smilax were recorded in the Rio das Ostras municipality: S. hilariana A. De Candolle, S. quinquenervia Vellozo, S. remotinervis Handel-Mazzetti, S. rufescens Grisebach and S. subsessiliflora Duhamel. Of these, four occurred only in Brazil, with exception of S. quinquenervia that occurs also in Peru. The taxonomic treatment includes an illustrated key for identification of the species, commentary on the morphology of the species and on their natural habitats.

description: Spatial and time-dependent data is of interest in many applications. This task is difficult due to its complex spatial dependency, long-range temporal dependency, data non-stationarity, and data heterogeneity. To address these challenges, we propose Forecaster, a graph Transformer architecture. Specifically, we start by learning the structure of the graph that parsimoniously represents the spatial dependency between the data at different locations. Based on the topology of the graph, we sparsify the Transformer to account for the strength of spatial dependency, long-range temporal dependency, data non-stationarity, and data heterogeneity. We evaluate Forecaster in the problem of forecasting taxi ride-hailing demand and show that our proposed architecture significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art baselines.
Using Tau Polarization as a Distinctive SUGRA Signature at LHC

description: In the minimal SUGRA model the lighter tau slepton is expected to be the second lightest superparticle over a large parameter range at large $\tanβ$. Consequently one expects a viable SUGRA signal at LHC in the tau lepton channel coming from the decay of these tau sleptons. The model predicts the polarization of this tau lepton to be +1 to a very good accuracy. We show how this prediction can be tested by looking at the momentum fraction of the tau-jet, carried by the charged prong, in its 1-prong hadronic decay channel.

description: Leukotriene A4 Hydrolase (LTA4H) is a bifunctional zinc metalloenzyme with epoxide hydrolase (EH) and aminopeptidase (AP) activities at two overlapping catalytic sites. The AP activity has been identified to degrade the tripeptide proline-glycine-proline (PGP), a chemoattractant and biomarker of COPD. Recent advances have shown that although the bioavailable small molecule 4-methoxydiphenylmethane (4MDM) activates LTA4H hydrolysis of certain amino acids labeled with a p-nitroanilide (p-NA) reporter group such as Ala-p-NA, the PGP hydrolysis is not enhanced by the presence of 4MDM. Future directions are to identify other endogenous peptides cleaved by LTA4H, with the hypothesis that activation of LTA4H in general will have therapeutic effects. The field’s focus is to discover activators that are selective for the enzyme-substrate complex over the enzyme alone using Ala-p-NA as a reporter for enzyme modulation for comparison of therapeutic effects that might correlate with different enzyme mechanisms of LTA4H activation in the context of inflammation. The computational analysis of the new molecules docking to enzyme-substrate and substrate-free complexes from crystal structures in complex with the known activator 4MDM and the inhibitor bestatin may produce a model for predicting potential modulators. AC/IC50 assay results of the new molecules agreed with the computational analysis despite not being viable pharmaceutical candidates. Additionally, structural comparison between 4MDM, N-(pyridin-3-ylmethyl)aniline, and the new compound 2-[(4-Methylphenoxy)methyl]pyridine suggest the necessity of a methyl group to the diphenyl ether derivative structures for enhanced AP activity.

However, in this paper, I argue that this objection fails if CDT’s proponent accepts the plausible view that decision-theoretic options are intentions. This result both provides a defence of CDT against a prominent objection and highlights the importance of resolving the nature of decision-theoretic options.

description: We investigate thermoelectric transport through interfaces with inelastic scatterings by developing a quantum theory, which has been extensively validated by existing theories. We find that under temperature bias, while a two-terminal conductor-insulator interface behaves only as a thermal resistor, a three-terminal conductor-insulator-conductor interface can function as an electricity generator caused by phonon-mediated electron scatterings with heat-charge current separation. Unlike conventional thermoelectrics which is a property of a bulk caused by the Seebeck effect, this thermoelectric behavior is a property of an interface driven by electron-phonon scatterings.

description: We prove that the triple integral of a totally symmetric third-ordertensor field over a domain in R^3 is invariant under orthogonal transformations. This invariance follows from the volume preservation under rotations and the specific transformation law of the tensor field.

description: Abstract: Objectives: Standardization is an important milestone in the validation of DWI-based parameters as imaging biomarkers for renal disease. Here, we propose technical recommendations on three variants of renal DWI, monoexponential DWI, IVIM and DTI, as well as associated MRI biomarkers (ADC, D, D*, f, FA and MD) to aid ongoing international efforts on methodological harmonization. Materials and methods: Reported DWI biomarkers from 194 prior renal DWI studies were extracted and Pearson correlations between diffusion biomarkers and protocol parameters were computed. Based on the literature review, surveys were designed for the consensus building. Survey data were collected via Delphi consensus process on renal DWI preparation, acquisition, analysis, and reporting. Consensus was defined as ≥ 75% agreement. Results: Correlations were observed between reported diffusion biomarkers and protocol parameters. Out of 87 survey questions, 57 achieved consensus resolution, while many of the remaining questions were resolved by preference (65–74% agreement). Summary of the literature and survey data as well as recommendations for the preparation, acquisition, processing and reporting of renal DWI were provided. Discussion: The consensus-based technical recommendations for renal DWI aim to facilitate inter-site harmonization and increase clinical impact of the technique on a larger scale by setting a framework for acquisition protocols for future renal DWI studies. We anticipate an iterative process with continuous updating of the recommendations according to progress in the field.

description: Quantum teleportation strikingly underlines the peculiar features of the quantum world. We present an experimental proof of its quantum nature, teleporting an entangled photon with such high quality that the nonlocal quantum correlations with its original partner photon are preserved. This procedure is also known as entanglement swapping. The nonlocality is confirmed by observing a violation of Bell's inequality by 4.5 standard deviations. Thus, by demonstrating quantum nonlocality for photons that never interacted our results directly confirm the quantum nature of teleportation.

description: Astragalus polysaccharide (APS), a water-soluble heteropolysaccharide, possesses immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, and cardioprotective properties. This study investigates the neuroprotective potential of APS in a model of N-Methyl-d-aspartic acid (NMDA)-induced retinal neurodegeneration, aiming to explore its potential as a treatment for retinal degenerative diseases. Retinal function was evaluated using electroretinography (ERG), optomotor reflex (OMR), and flash visual evoked potentials (FVEP). Retinal inflammatory responses were examined through immunohistochemistry, western blotting (WB), and quantitative reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR). To assess the integrity of visual projections, an intravitreal injection of adeno-associated virus (AAV) was employed to trace the projections of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) to the visual centers. APS treatment conferred protection to retinal cells, as indicated by ERG and OMR assessments. And APS intervention mitigated NMDA-induced apoptosis, evidenced by a decrease in TUNEL-positive cells. Furthermore, APS treatment attenuated the NMDA-induced reduction in RGC projections to the visual centers, including the superior colliculus and lateral geniculate nucleus, as demonstrated by AAV tracing. Our findings reveal that APS shields the retina from NMDA-induced damage by inhibiting the NF-κB signaling pathway and reduces the detrimental effects of NMDA on RGC projections to the visual centers. These findings propose APS as a potential novel therapeutic agent for the treatment of retinal diseases.

description: In this paper we study the increment of the entanglement entropy and of the (replica) logarithmic negativity in a zero-density excited state of a free massive bosonic theory, compared to the ground state. This extends the work of two previous publications by the same authors. We consider the case of two disconnected regions and find that the change in the entanglement entropy depends only on the combined size of the regions and is independent of their connectivity. We subsequently generalize this result to any number of disconnected regions. For the replica negativity we find that its increment is a polynomial with integer coefficients depending only on the sizes of the two regions. The logarithmic negativity turns out to have a more complicated functional structure than its replica version, typically involving roots of polynomials on the sizes of the regions. We obtain our results by two methods already employed in previous work: from a qubit picture and by computing four-point functions of branch point twist fields in finite volume. We test our results against numerical simulations on a harmonic chain and find excellent agreement.

description: We study the diffractive electroproduction of quarkonia from quark-antiquark-gluon states in the photon wave function. We show that these states contribute to the leading-power and leading-logarithm level. We suggest the measurement of J/psi production via inelastic diffraction to study color-transparency and color-opacity effects in the diffractive gluon distribution.

description: We investigate the thermoelectric properties of a system near a pressure driven Mott-Hubbard transition. The dependence of the thermopower and the figure of merit on pressure and temperature within a degenerate Hubbard model for integer filling n=1 is calculated using dynamical mean field theory. Quantum Monte Carlo method is used to solve the impurity model. Obtained results can qualitatively explain thermoelectric properties of various strongly correlated materials.

description: We present the molecular gas morphology and kinematics of seven nearby Seyfert galaxies obtained from our 230~GHz ALMA observations. The CO J=2-1 kinematics within the inner $\sim30$" ($\lesssim9$~kpc) reveals rotation patterns that have been explored using the Bertola rotation model and a modified version of the Kinemetry package. The latter algorithm reveals various deviations from pure circular rotation in the inner kiloparsec of all seven galaxies, including kinematic twists, decoupled and counter-rotating cores. A comparison of the global molecular gas and stellar kinematics show overall agreement in the position angle of the major axis and the systemic velocity, but larger discrepancies in the disc inclination. The residual maps obtained with both the methods shows the presence of non-circular motions in most of the galaxies. Despite its importance, a detailed interpretation of the physics responsible for non-circular motions will be discussed in a forthcoming work.
