description: Subcritical catalytic branching random walk on d-dimensional lattice is studied. New theorems concerning the asymptotic behavior of distributions of local particles numbers are established. To prove the results different approaches are used including the connection between fractional moments of random variables and fractional derivatives of their Laplace transforms. In the previous papers on this subject only supercritical and critical regimes were investigated assuming finiteness of the first moment of offspring number and finiteness of the variance of offspring number, respectively. In the present paper for the offspring number in subcritical regime finiteness of the moment of order 1+δis required where δis some positive number. Keywords and phrases: branching random walk, subcritical regime, finite variance of offspring number, infinite variance of offspring number, local particles numbers, limit theorems, fractional moments, fractional derivatives.

description: As an economical and efficient fundus imaging modality, retinal fundus images have been widely adopted in clinical fundus examination. Unfortunately, fundus images often suffer from quality degradation caused by imaging interferences, leading to misdiagnosis. Despite impressive enhancement performances that state-of-the-art methods have achieved, challenges remain in clinical scenarios. For boosting the clinical deployment of fundus image enhancement, this paper proposes the pyramid constraint to develop a degradation-invariant enhancement network (PCE-Net), which mitigates the demand for clinical data and stably enhances unknown data. Firstly, high-quality images are randomly degraded to form sequences of low-quality ones sharing the same content (SeqLCs). Then individual low-quality images are decomposed to Laplacian pyramid features (LPF) as the multi-level input for the enhancement. Subsequently, a feature pyramid constraint (FPC) for the sequence is introduced to enforce the PCE-Net to learn a degradation-invariant model. Extensive experiments have been conducted under the evaluation metrics of enhancement and segmentation. The effectiveness of the PCE-Net was demonstrated in comparison with state-of-the-art methods and the ablation study.

description: This article studies the problem of image restoration of observed images corrupted by impulse noise and mixed Gaussian impulse noise. Since the pixels damaged by impulse noise contain no information about the true image, how to find this set correctly is a very important problem. We propose two methods based on blind inpainting and $\ell_0$ minimization that can simultaneously find the damaged pixels and restore the image. By iteratively restoring the image and updating the set of damaged pixels, these methods have better performance than other methods, as shown in the experiments. In addition, we provide convergence analysis for these methods, these algorithms will converge to coordinatewise minimum points. In addition, they will converge to local minimum points (or with probability one) with some modifications in the algorithms.

description: Possible universal dynamics of a many-body system far from thermal equilibrium are explored. A focus is set on meta-stable non-thermal states exhibiting critical properties such as self-similarity and independence of the details of how the respective state has been reached. It is proposed that universal dynamics far from equilibrium can be tuned to exhibit a dynamical phase transition where these critical properties change qualitatively. This is demonstrated for the case of a superfluid two-component Bose gas exhibiting different types of long-lived but non-thermal critical order. Scaling exponents controlled by the ratio of experimentally tuneable coupling parameters offer themselves as natural smoking guns. The results shed light on the wealth of universal phenomena expected to exist in the far-from-equilibrium realm.

description: Enhanced carbon sequestration in vegetation and organic-rich substrates and soils, or Nature-based Carbon Sinks (NCS), can play a key role in mitigating climate change. Globally, research on NCS has tended to concentrate on the science of carbon sequestration; processes through which NCS and how trade-offs with potentially competing demands on natural resources might be most effectively governed have received relatively little attention. This systematic review goes some way toward redressing this imbalance by examining published accounts of the governance of NCS. The review focuses on Southeast Asia, a highly dynamic part of the world with great potential for enhanced carbon sequestration in NCS. A total of 94 articles, 10% of those initially selected from relevant journal articles published between January 2015 and December 2020, focusing on the governance of NCS in Southeast Asia, were subjected to detailed content analysis. The period of interest commences with the release and signing of the 2015 Paris Agreement due to the surge in publications on NCS that followed. Results of the analysis reveal weaknesses in climate governance that, along with competing land uses and rising demands for natural resources, present significant risks to current and future carbon sequestration in NCS. Our systematic literature review, suited to assessing where knowledge gaps exist, thus provides the basis for a future research agenda aimed at supporting the development of holistic and adaptive forms of governance of NCS. Important gaps revealed by the review comprise an uneven geographic coverage that renders governance in several countries and types of NCS in Southeast Asia largely invisible, a focus on either the local or the national scale that leaves the supranational scale and linkages between different scales under-explored, and alternatives to established arrangements, notably REDD+ programmes.

We also investigate the closure properties of the class of groups with finite Bredon cohomological dimension for Mackey functors.

description: Polyakov loop eigenvalues and their N-dependence are studied in 2 and 4 dimensional SU(N) YM theory. The connected correlation function of the single eigenvalue distributions of two separated Polyakov loops in 2D YM is calculated and is found to have a structure differing from the one of corresponding hermitian random matrix ensembles. No large $N$ non-analyticities are found for two point functions in the confining regime. Suggestions are made for situations in which large-N phase transitions involving Polyakov loops might occur.

description: We present first results of three dimensional relativistic magnetohydrodynamical simulations of Pulsar Wind Nebulae. They show that the kink instability and magnetic dissipation inside these nebulae may be the key processes allowing to reconcile their observations with the theory of pulsar winds. In particular, the size of the termination shock, obtained in the simulations, agrees very well with the observations even for Poynting-dominated pulsar winds. Due to magnetic dissipation the total pressure in the simulated nebulae is particle-dominated and more or less uniform. While in the main body of the simulated nebulae the magnetic field becomes rather randomized, close to the termination shock, it is dominated by the regular toroidal field freshly injected by the pulsar wind. This field is responsible for driving polar outflows and may explain the high polarization observed in pulsar wind nebulae.

description: Video conferencing platforms have been appropriated during the COVID-19 pandemic for different purposes, including classroom teaching. However, the platforms are not designed for many of these objectives. When users, like educationists, select a platform, it is unclear which platform will perform better given the same network and hardware resources to meet the required Quality of Experience (QoE). Similarly, when developers design a new video conferencing platform, they do not have clear guidelines for making design choices given the QoE requirements. In this paper, we provide a set of networks and systems measurements, and quantitative user studies to measure the performance of video conferencing apps in terms of both, Quality of Service (QoS) and QoE. Using those metrics, we measure the performance of Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and Zoom, which are three popular platforms in education and business. We find a substantial difference in how the three apps treat video and audio streams. We see that their choice of treatment affects their consumption of hardware resources. Our quantitative user studies confirm the findings of our quantitative measurements. While each platform has its benefits, we find that no app is ideal. A user can choose a suitable platform depending on which of the following, audio, video, or network bandwidth, CPU, or memory are more important.

description: Purpose: We sought to investigate whether there are any factors that may affect student interest in neurology among medical students at Penn State College of Medicine (PSCOM), and how the neurology curriculum impacts this interest. Methods: Penn State College of Medicine students were surveyed to evaluate their perception and exposure to neurology in two surveys. Publicly available match data from PSCOM and the United States were compared to determine neurology match trends. Results: PSCOM pre-clinical students reported less than satisfactory neurology exposure on two surveys, with clinical students reporting satisfactory exposure. Furthermore, PSCOM showed a higher proportion of students matching into neurology during 2011-2020 compared to national data (4.05 ± 0.27%. versus 1.78 ± 0.086%; p < .00001). Conclusions: Career exploration programs such as Student Interest Group in Neurology, and early integration of clinical neurology can help combat neurophobia by increasing student exposure to neurology.

description: Purpose: This study aims to determine the prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea risk within hospitalized patients utilizing the STOPBANG questionnaire, evaluate patient interest in follow-up testing and determine the factors that influence their interest in follow-up. Methods: A researcher approached eligible patients hospitalized at a tertiary hospital, explained the study, and acquired verbal consent. They administered the STOPBANG questionnaire, discussed participants’ risk, and provided information about follow-up polysomnography. Results: Of 335 patients approached, 121 patients were excluded and 60 (17.9%) were already diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea. Of the 154 participants screened, 42.2%, 35.7% and 22.1% were at low, intermediate and high risk of obstructive sleep apnea, respectively. Of those at intermediate to high risk, 44 expressed interest in following up with polysomnography and 32 were not interested. Older patients were less likely to express interest in follow-up (OR 0.098 95% CI: 0.012-0.893) and patients that reported snoring were more likely to express interest in follow-up (OR 3.15 CI: 1.14-8.75). Conclusions: There is a high prevalence of intermediate to high obstructive sleep apnea risk (57.8%) in undiagnosed patients in a rural tertiary care center. Younger patients were 10 times more likely to consider polysomnography (PSG), which supports arguments for early screening for obstructive sleep apnea. Snorers were 3 times more likely to consider PSG, which may reflect the narrow focus of public awareness of obstructive sleep apnea.

description: Purpose: Low middle-income countries (LMICs) are particularly affected by dyspepsia and peptic ulcer disease. However, the true prevalence in rural/suburban areas of Sub-Saharan Africa, such as the Eastern Region of Ghana, remains unknown. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence and risk factors of dyspepsia in Sub-Saharan Africa. Methods: A population-based survey was conducted in Ghana’s Eastern Region of adults not seeking active medical treatment. Demographic, medical history, and current symptoms of dyspepsia were obtained through a cross-sectional survey. 149 individuals were included in the survey. Results: Prevalence of dyspepsia was 25.5% (38/149). Risk factors for dyspepsia include NSAID use (OR 2.16; 95% CI 0.91 to 5.55, p = 0.09) and previous diagnosis of anemia (OR 4.64; 95% CI 1.45 to 15.45, p = 0.01). Higher level of education was found to be protective against dyspepsia (OR 0.22; 95% CI 0.06 to 0.49, p = 0.03). A multivariable, predictive model created from survey data was found to predict 74% of participants with dyspepsia. Conclusions: Dyspepsia has a high prevalence in Eastern Ghana. Recognition of dyspepsia can be made at the community level with minimal resources and can identify disease and direct early and low cost intervention for dyspepsia.

description: We present an approximation scheme to the master kinetic equations for aggregation and gelation with thermal breakup in colloidal systems with variable attraction energy. With the cluster fractal dimension $d_{f}$ as the only phenomenological parameter, rich physical behavior is predicted. The viscosity, the gelation time and the cluster size are predicted in closed form analytically as a function of time, initial volume fraction and attraction energy by combining the reversible clustering kinetics with an approximate hydrodynamic model. The fractal dimension $d_{f}$ modulates the time evolution of cluster size, lag time and gelation time and of the viscosity. The gelation transition is strongly nonequilibrium and time-dependent in the unstable region of the state diagram of colloids where the association rate is larger than the dissociation rate. Only upon approaching conditions where the initial association and the dissociation rates are comparable for all species (which is a condition for the detailed balance to be satisfied) aggregation can occur with $d_{f}=3$. In this limit, homogeneous nucleation followed by Lifshitz-Slyozov coarsening is recovered. In this limited region of the state diagram the macroscopic gelation process is likely to be driven by large spontaneous fluctuations associated with spinodal decomposition.

description: The paper revives an older approach to acoustic modeling that borrows from n-gram language modeling in an attempt to scale up both the amount of training data and model size (as measured by the number of parameters in the model), to approximately 100 times larger than current sizes used in automatic speech recognition. In such a data-rich setting, we can expand the phonetic context significantly beyond triphones, as well as increase the number of Gaussian mixture components for the context-dependent states that allow it. We have experimented with contexts that span seven or more context-independent phones, and up to 620 mixture components per state. Dealing with unseen phonetic contexts is accomplished using the familiar back-off technique used in language modeling due to implementation simplicity. The back-off acoustic model is estimated, stored and served using MapReduce distributed computing infrastructure. Speech recognition experiments are carried out in an N-best list rescoring framework for Google Voice Search. Training big models on large amounts of data proves to be an effective way to increase the accuracy of a state-of-the-art automatic speech recognition system. We use 87,000 hours of training data (speech along with transcription) obtained by filtering utterances in Voice Search logs on automatic speech recognition confidence. Models ranging in size between 20--40 million Gaussians are estimated using maximum likelihood training. They achieve relative reductions in word-error-rate of 11% and 6% when combined with first-pass models trained using maximum likelihood, and boosted maximum mutual information, respectively. Increasing the context size beyond five phones (quinphones) does not help.

description: Purpose: Differences in sex hormones are one of the proposed mechanisms for the increased risk of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury in female athletes. Oral contraceptive pills (OCPs) may reduce the risk of ACL injuries in females, but the effects of different types of OCPs have not been examined. This study aimed to investigate the type of OCPs used in women diagnosed with ACL tears. We hypothesized that a greater proportion of women with ACL tears will be exposed to OCPs containing high estrogen and less androgenic progestins than other types of OCPs. Methods: Medical records from Hospital for Special Surgery (New York, NY) for women ages 16-55 with diagnosis of an ACL tear while concurrently taking OCPs were reviewed from January 2016 to June 2018 for demographic data, documentation of ACL injury, type of OCP at time of injury, ethinyl estrogen dose, and progestin dose. OCP androgenicity was determined by multiplying the dose of progestin by the progestin’s androgenicity. Results: A total of 223 patients sustained an ACL tear while taking OCPs. The most commonly used OCP was a high estrogen/low androgenicity progestin pill (107/223=48%).When each hormone was considered individually, the majority of women were exposed to OCPs with high estrogen (58.7% vs 41.3%, p<0.0001) and low androgenicity progestin (84.8% vs 15.3%, p<0.0001). Conclusion: A large portion of women who sustained ACL tears were taking a high estrogen/low androgenicity progestin OCP at the time of injury and this is different than population data where the majority of women are exposed to moderately high androgenicity progestins. Future studies should be conducted to determine if OCPs with high estrogen and low androgenicity progestin correlate with increased risk of ACL injury.

description: We present a photometric survey of the optical counterparts of ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) observed with the Hubble Space Telescope in nearby (< 5 Mpc) galaxies. Of the 33 ULXs with Hubble & Chandra data, 9 have no visible counterpart, placing limits on their M_V of ~ -4 to -9, enabling us to rule out O-type companions in 4 cases. The refined positions of two ULXs place them in the nucleus of their host galaxy. They are removed from our sample. Of the 22 remaining ULXs, 13 have one possible optical counterpart, while multiple are visible within the error regions of other ULXs. By calculating the number of chance coincidences, we estimate that 13 +/- 5 are the true counterparts. We attempt to constrain the nature of the companions by fitting the SED and M_V to obtain candidate spectral types. We can rule out O-type companions in 20 cases, while we find that one ULX (NGC 253 ULX2) excludes all OB-type companions. Fitting with X-ray irradiated models provides constraints on the donor star mass and radius. For 7 ULXs, we are able to impose inclination-dependent upper and/or lower limits on the black holes mass, if the extinction to the assumed companion star is not larger than the Galactic column. These are NGC 55 ULX1, NGC 253 ULX1, NGC 253 ULX2, NGC 253 XMM6, Ho IX X-1, IC342 X-1 & NGC 5204 X-1. This suggests that 10 ULXs do not have O companions, while none of the 18 fitted rule out B-type companions.

description: The magnetopause boundary implies two kinds of variations: a density/ temperature gradient and a magnetic field rotation. These two kinds are always observed in a close vicinity of each other, if not inseparably mixed. We present a case study from the Cluster data where the two are clearly separated and investigate the natures of both layers. We evidence that the first one is a slow shock while the second is a rotational discontinuity. The interaction between these two kinds of discontinuities is then studied with the help of 1,5-D magnetohydrodynamics simulations. The comparison with the data is quite positive and leads to think that most of the generic properties of the magnetopause may be interpreted in this sense.

description: With 13 years of observations, the Ion and Neutral Mass Spectrometer (INMS) onboard the Cassini spacecraft has observed the upper atmosphere of Titan through two seasons: winter and spring. The complex atmosphere is mainly composed of N2, CH4, H2 and Ar, but a lot more carbon and nitrogen bearing trace species have been observed by INMS and other instruments. Using data from the closed source neutral mode of INMS instrument, we studied the abundance and variation of neutral species in Titan ionosphere, between 1500 and 950 km of altitude. We will present an ongoing effort on the reanalysis of the entire INMS Titan's observation dataset. We recalibrated INMS data by taking into account the dead time correction, the ram pressure enhancement, the saturation correction, the increase of pressure in the chamber with the decreases of altitude, the sensitivity and the contamination by thruster firing (Cui et al., 2009,2012). In addition, species entering the instrument were ionized and fragmented into ions inside INMS chamber, making difficult the identification of different species in such complex mass spectra. To retrieve the molecular mixing ratios we used a Monte-Carlo sampling on the fragmentation pattern to deconvolve the signal. To obtain a complete mass spectrum (m/z 1 to 99), we stacked INMS data, which increases the incertitude on the altitude. We used the mass spectra deconvolution code developed by Gautier et al., (2020), also employed by Serigano et al., (2020) when they treated Saturn INMS data. This enabled the retrieval of vertical and seasonal variation of Titan's atmosphere major components. Our results show the strong influence of the solar activity on the gases mixing ratio variations (Shebanits et al, 2017 ; Westlake et al., 2014). We also derived the N2 and CH4 density from our results (Muller Wodarg et al., 2008)

description: The recent precise photometric observations and successes of the modelling efforts transformed our picture of the pulsation of RR Lyrae stars. The discovery of additional frequencies and the period doubling phenomenon revealed that a significant interaction may occur between pulsational modes. The signs of irregularities were detected both in observed light curves and hydrodynamic calculations. In this paper we present the analysis of four peculiar hydrodynamic model solutions. All four solutions were found to be chaotic. The fractal (Lyapunov) dimensions of their attractors were calculated to be ~2.2. We also investigated possible resonances between the fundamental mode and the first overtone in the dynamical neighbourhood of these models. The most important is the 6:8 resonance that was also detected in the Kepler observations of RR Lyrae itself. These results reveal that the investigation of chaotic models is important in discovering and understanding resonances in RR Lyrae stars.

description: This research aims to determine the map of research developments regarding Rahn Agreements in Islamic Financial Inclusion. The research was conducted from 2003 to 2022 by searching national and international journals indexed by Google Scholar, Sinta, and Scopus via the Perish/Harzing application, with the keyword "Akad Rahn". Based on the search results, there were 268 research articles, which were then input into the VOSviewer application and analyzed descriptively through a Library Research study. The research results show that the number of publications has increased significantly every year. And based on the mapping results using the VOSviewer application, research around Akad Rahn is divided into 5 clusters and 155 topic items. Meanwhile, based on the results of a Library Research study, there are 10 main themes surrounding Rahn Agreements in Islamic Financial Inclusion. Introduction In this modern era, people need financing that is easy to obtain, fast processing, and in accordance with sharia principles. Internal challenges consist of employees' lack of understanding of sharia principles, a lack of trained professionals, poor institutional vision and mission, and limited storage space for collateral. Apart from that, the rahn contract also faces external challenges, such as not being widely known by the public, threats from conventional bank products, threats to the security of collateral, and the view that the rahn contract is always related to religion. Institution finance sharia own task main in financing And distribution of funds. As Wrong One type financing, contract rahn (pawn sharia) is part from t

description: Отмечено, что наиболее часто используемые для покрытия оптических антенн пленки фторидов BaF2 с низким показателем преломления в инфракрасной области спектра неустойчивы при перепадах температуры, поэтому требуется поиск и внедрение в состав многослойных интерференционных покрытий пленок из новых перспективных материалов, увеличивающих показатели надежности. Для определения их оптических констант использован спектрофотометрический метод, основанный на анализе спектров отражения и пропускании пленок, но наличие полос поглощения искажает спектры отражения и пропускания и затрудняет определение оптических констант.
Предложено использовать экспериментально-расчетный метод, позволяющий учесть эффект поглощения и получить более точные оценки исследуемых параметров. На его основе получены результаты теоретических расчетов и экспериментальных измерений для новой пленки, выполненной из SrYF4, которая может служить для создания высокоэффективных просветляющих покрытий в диапазоне длин волн от 1,3 до 12 мкм.
Получены результаты, актуальные для задач повышения эффективности, надежности и увеличения сроков эксплуатации радиооптических систем, работающих в реальных атмосферных условиях.
