description: Inhibition of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) entry into target human cells is considered as a critical strategy for preventing HIV infection. Conformational shifts of the HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein (gp120) facilitates the attachment of the virus to target cells, therefore gp120 remains an attractive target for antiretroviral therapy development. Compound 18A has been recently identified as a broad-spectrum anti-HIV inhibitor. It was proposed that 18A disrupts rearrangements of V1/V2 region in gp120; however, the precise mechanism by which 18A interferes with the inherent motion of V1/V2 domain remains obscure. In this report, we elaborate on the binding mode of compound 18A to the closed conformation of a soluble cleaved gp120 and further examine the dynamic motion of V1/V2 region in both gp120 and the gp120–18A complex via all-atom molecular dynamics simulations. In this work, comparative molecular dynamic analyses revealed that 18A makes contact with Leu179, Ile194, Ile424, Met426 W427, E370 and Met475 in the main hydrophobic cavity of the unliganded gp120 and disrupts the restructuring of V1/V2 domain observed in apo gp120. The unwinding of α1 and slight inversion of β2 in gp120 leads to the shift of VI/V2 domain away from the V3 N-terminal regions and toward the outer domain. Stronger contacts between Trp425 and Trp112 rings may contribute to the reduced flexibility of α1 observed upon 18A binding thereby inhibiting the shifts of the V1/V2 region. Binding of 18A to gp120: (1) decreases the overall flexibility of the protein and (2) inhibits the formation a gp120 conformation that closely ressembles a CD4-bound-like conformation. Information gained from this report not only elaborates on important dynamic features of gp120, but will also assist with the future designs of potent gp120 inhibitors as anti-HIV.

description: Nonlinear-optical microscopy and spectroscopy provide detailed spatial and spectroscopic contrast, specifically sensitive to structural symmetry and order. Ferroics, in particular, have been widely studied using second harmonic generation imaging, which provides detailed information on domain structures but typically lacks spectroscopic detail. In contrast, infrared-visible sum-frequency generation (SFG) spectroscopy reveals details of the atomic structure and bonding via vibrational resonances, but conventionally lacks spatial information. In this work, we combine the benefits of nonlinear optical imaging and SFG spectroscopy by employing SFG spectro-microscopy using an infrared free-electron laser. Specifically, we demonstrate the feasibility of SFG spectro-microscopy for spectroscopy using in-plane anisotropic wurtzite-type aluminum nitride as a model system. We find the experimental spectra to agree well with our theoretical calculations and we show the potential of our microscope to provide spatially resolved spectroscopic information in inhomogeneous systems such as ferroics and their domains in the near future.

description: This study provides a comprehensive analytical investigation of the bound and unbound motion of magnetized particles orbiting a Schwarzschild black hole immersed in an external asymptotically uniform magnetic field, which includes all conceivable types of bounded and unbounded orbits. In particular, for planetary orbits, we perform a comparative analysis of our findings with the observed position of the S2 star carrying magnetic dipole moment around Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*). We found maximum and minimum values for the parameter of magnetic interaction between the magnetic dipole of the star and the external magnetic field, as well as the energy and angular momentum of the S2 star. As a result, we obtain estimations of the magnetic dipole of the star in order of $10^6 \rm \ G\cdot cm^{3}$. Additionally, we explore deflecting trajectories akin to gravitational Rutherford scattering. In obtaining the solutions for the orbital equations, we articulate the elliptic integrals and Jacobi elliptic functions, and our study is augmented by illustrative figures and simulations.

description: Die empirische Studie untersucht, inwieweit die gesellschaftliche Mehrsprachigkeit in Berlin in den verschiedenen Beschilderungstypen der Berliner Krankenhäuser vertreten ist. Damit fügt sich die Arbeit thematisch in die Untersuchung von "Sprachlandschaften" ein, einem neu entstehenden soziolinguistisch orientierten Forschungsfeld, das Zusammenhänge zwischen sozialer Mehrsprachigkeit und ihrer öffentlichen visuellen Repräsentation untersucht und aufdeckt. Welche Sprachen sind in welchen Diskurstypen in Berliner Krankenhäusern sichtbar? Wie entwickelt sich die Entscheidungspolitik, auf deren Grundlage Mehrsprachigkeit in Krankenhäusern sichtbar wird? Für die Befragung wurde jedes Krankenhaus in jedem der zwölf Berliner Bezirke besucht und die Ergebnisse durch Bilddateien dokumentiert. Das Ergebnis dieser Studie ist ein umfassendes Korpus.
description: The empirical study examines the extent to which social multilingualism in Berlin is represented in the various types of signage used in Berlin hospitals. Thus, the work fits thematically into the investigation of "language landscapes", a newly emerging sociolinguistically oriented field of research that investigates and uncovers connections between social multilingualism and its public visual representation. The leading research questions for the survey are: Which languages are visible in which types of discourse in Berlin hospitals? How does the decision-making policy develop, on the basis of which multilingualism becomes visible in hospitals? For the survey, each hospital was visited in each of the twelve Berlin districts and the results were documented by image files. The output of this study is a comprehensive corpus.

description: Purpose: Psychosocial variables are known risk factors for the development and chronification of low back pain (LBP). Psychosocial stress is one of these risk factors. Therefore, this study aims to identify the most important types of stress predicting LBP. Self-efficacy was included as a potential protective factor related to both, stress and pain. Participants and Methods: This prospective observational study assessed n = 1071 subjects with low back pain over 2 years. Psychosocial stress was evaluated in a broad manner using instruments assessing perceived stress, stress experiences in work and social contexts, vital exhaustion and life-event stress. Further, self-efficacy and pain (characteristic pain intensity and disability) were assessed. Using least absolute shrinkage selection operator regression, important predictors of characteristic pain intensity and pain-related disability at 1-year and 2-years follow-up were analyzed. Results: The final sample for the statistic procedure consisted of 588 subjects (age: 39.2 (± 13.4) years; baseline pain intensity: 27.8 (± 18.4); disability: 14.3 (± 17.9)). In the 1-year follow-up, the stress types “tendency to worry”, “social isolation”, “work discontent” as well as vital exhaustion and negative life events were identified as risk factors for both pain intensity and pain-related disability. Within the 2-years follow-up, Lasso models identified the stress types “tendency to worry”, “social isolation”, “social conflicts”, and “perceived long-term stress” as potential risk factors for both pain intensity and disability. Furthermore, “self-efficacy” (“internality”, “self-concept”) and “social externality” play a role in reducing pain-related disability. Conclusion: Stress experiences in social and work-related contexts were identified as important risk factors for LBP 1 or 2 years in the future, even in subjects with low initial pain levels. Self-efficacy turned out to be a protective factor for pain development, especially in the long-term follow-up. Results suggest a differentiation of stress types in addressing psychosocial factors in research, prevention and therapy approaches.

description: We propose a modified Wasserstein generative adversarial network (M-WGAN) to study the distribution of the topological charge in lattice QCD based on Monte Carlo simulations. We construct new generator and discriminator in M-WGAN to support the generation of high-quality distribution. Our results show that the M-WGAN scheme of machine learning should be helpful for us to calculate efficiently the 1D distribution of topological charge compared with the method by the MC simulation alone.

description: At the Great Salt Lake, the northern and southern portions of the lake are divided by an east-to-west causeway that disrupts natural lake currents and significantly increases salt concentrations in the norther portion. To support management efforts to address rising environmental and economic concerns, the causeway was recently modified to include a new breach that typically exhibits a strong density-driven bidirectional flow pattern. To obtain much needed insights into the hydraulic performance of this hydraulic structure and the exchange between the two sections of the lake, a field campaign coupled with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling and an artificial neural network (ANN) model were undertaken.

description: By limiting the water resources and frequent droughts, disruption of interaction between humans and their
environment, yeoman ownership manner, deep and semi-deep wells drilled in the range of aqueducts, forgetting
the many well and good traditions associated with aqueducts, these factors caused the aqueduct role be fade in
the villages, and also caused to lack of attention of beneficiaries to participation issue in regenerating restoration
and upgrading of the aqueducts. Therefore some contribution should be done in this area. Today, contribution
practices in some villages is become a tradition and customs. And usually partnership based on share of water
and level of beneficiary ownership of aqueduct water is considered as a measure for assessing participation. In
this regard, the present study was conducted to determine the effect of social and economic participation of
beneficiaries in the restoration and repair of aqueducts in Sarbishe city. Findings from descriptive analyzes
indicate that social and economic participation of beneficiaries in the regeneration and repair of the aqueducts
was 7/46%, and 7/32, respectively, which participation has been made in a relatively high level. The analytical
findings indicate that there is a significant and negative relationship between social involvement (P = -0/457 **, r
= 0/000) and economic participation of beneficiaries (p = -0/413 * *, r = 0/000) with dependent variable of the
restoration and repair of aqueducts, that this negative relationship could be due to lack of funds and the
necessary facilities and specialists to restore and repair of aqueducts.

description: Adaptive brain stimulation can treat neurological conditions such as Parkinson's disease and post-stroke motor deficits by influencing abnormal neural activity. Because of patient heterogeneity, each patient requires a unique stimulation policy to achieve optimal neural responses. Model-free reinforcement learning (MFRL) holds promise in learning effective policies for a variety of similar control tasks, but is limited in domains like brain stimulation by a need for numerous costly environment interactions. In this work we introduce Coprocessor Actor Critic, a novel, model-based reinforcement learning (MBRL) approach for learning neural coprocessor policies for brain stimulation. Our key insight is that coprocessor policy learning is a combination of learning how to act optimally in the world and learning how to induce optimal actions in the world through stimulation of an injured brain. We show that our approach overcomes the limitations of traditional MFRL methods in terms of sample efficiency and task success and outperforms baseline MBRL approaches in a neurologically realistic model of an injured brain.

description: Commercial plant breeders improve economically important traits by selectively mating individuals from a given breeding population. Potential pairings are evaluated before the growing season using Monte Carlo simulation, and a mating design is created to allocate a fixed breeding budget across the parent pairs to achieve desired population outcomes. We introduce a novel objective function for this mating design problem that accurately models the goals of a certain class of breeding experiments. The resulting mating design problem is a computationally burdensome simulation optimization problem on a combinatorially large set of feasible points. We propose a two-step solution to this problem: (i) simulate to estimate the performance of each parent pair and (ii) solve an estimated version of the mating design problem, which is an integer program, using the simulation output. To reduce the computational burden when implementing steps (i) and (ii), we analytically identify a Pareto set of parent pairs that will receive the entire breeding budget at optimality. Since we wish to estimate the Pareto set in step (i) as input to step (ii), we derive an asymptotically optimal simulation budget allocation to estimate the Pareto set that, in our numerical experiments, out-performs Multi-objective Optimal Computing Budget Allocation in reducing misclassifications. Given the estimated Pareto set, we provide a branch-and-bound algorithm to solve the estimated mating design problem. Our approach dramatically reduces the computational effort required to solve the mating design problem when compared with naïve methods.

description: Despite the increasing use of deep learning in medical image segmentation, acquiring sufficient training data remains a challenge in the medical field. In response, data augmentation techniques have been proposed; however, the generation of diverse and realistic medical images and their corresponding masks remains a difficult task, especially when working with insufficient training sets. To address these limitations, we present an end-to-end architecture based on the Hamiltonian Variational Autoencoder (HVAE). This approach yields an improved posterior distribution approximation compared to traditional Variational Autoencoders (VAE), resulting in higher image generation quality. Our method outperforms generative adversarial architectures under data-scarce conditions, showcasing enhancements in image quality and precise tumor mask synthesis. We conduct experiments on two publicly available datasets, MICCAI's Brain Tumor Segmentation Challenge (BRATS), and Head and Neck Tumor Segmentation Challenge (HECKTOR), demonstrating the effectiveness of our method on different medical imaging modalities.

description: The personalized bundle generation problem, which aims to create a preferred bundle for user from numerous candidate items, receives increasing attention in recommendation. However, existing works ignore the order-invariant nature of the bundle and adopt sequential modeling methods as the solution, which might introduce inductive bias and cause a large latency in prediction. To address this problem, we propose to perform the bundle generation via non-autoregressive mechanism and design a novel encoder-decoder framework named BundleNAT, which can effectively output the targeted bundle in one-shot without relying on any inherent order. In detail, instead of learning sequential dependency, we propose to adopt pre-training techniques and graph neural network to fully embed user-based preference and item-based compatibility information, and use a self-attention based encoder to further extract global dependency pattern. We then design a permutation-equivariant decoding architecture that is able to directly output the desired bundle in a one-shot manner. Experiments on three real-world datasets from Youshu and Netease show the proposed BundleNAT significantly outperforms the current state-of-the-art methods in average by up to 35.92%, 10.97% and 23.67% absolute improvements in Precision, Precision+, and Recall, respectively.

description: Background: The shortage of nursing professionals is of growing concern. The causes of this include the demanding physical and mental workload, leading to a dropout of nurses that may start during their education. However, it is unclear to what extent nursing students already perceive a physical and mental workload leading to health problems during their nursing education and placement, and to what extent these health problems cause students to dropout from nursing education. Very few prospective cohort studies have investigated protective and risk factors in relation to dropout and retention among nursing students. Methods: Three cohorts of third-year nursing students will be followed for 2.5 years. Students will be enrolled from the Bachelor of Nursing program of the Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences. At baseline, students will receive a self-administered questionnaire. Primary outcome is dropout from nursing education and dropout from the nursing profession. Data on dropout from nursing education will be retrieved from the student administration on a yearly basis. Dropout from the nursing profession will be measured one year after graduation, using the self-reported questionnaire. Secondary outcomes are presenteeism and sick leave (during internship/work). In addition to student characteristics, the questionnaire asks about physical and mental internship/work characteristics, personal and behavioral factors, and experienced physical and mental burden. Main aims of this study are to determine: 1) the prevalence and incidence rates of dropout, 2) the protective and risk factors, and early indicators of dropout, and 3) the interaction between these factors and the indicators. Discussion: Data analysis of a large, prospective cohort study with regard to determinants of dropout and retention of nursing students and newly graduated nurses is in progress. Findings emerging from this study can be used to develop a predictive model to identify the first indicators of dropout from nursing education and nursing profession, for which targeted interventions can be deployed.

description: Direct regression for the cumulative incidence function (CIF) has become increasingly popular since the Fine and Gray model was suggested (Fine and Gray) due to its more direct interpretation on the probability risk scale. We here consider estimation within the Fine and Gray model using the theory of semiparametric efficient estimation. We show that the Fine and Gray estimator is semiparametrically efficient in the case without censoring. In the case of right-censored data, however, we show that the Fine and Gray estimator is no longer semiparametrically efficient and derive the semiparametrically efficient estimator. This estimation approach involves complicated integral equations, and we therefore also derive a simpler estimator as an augmented version of the Fine and Gray estimator with respect to the censoring nuisance space. While the augmentation term involves the CIF of the competing risk, it also leads to a robustness property: the proposed estimators remain consistent even if one of the models for the censoring mechanism or the CIF of the competing risk are misspecified. We illustrate this robustness property using simulation studies, comparing the Fine–Gray estimator and its augmented version. When the competing cause has a high cumulative incidence we see a substantial gain in efficiency from adding the augmentation term with a very reasonable computation time.

description: In the fight against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) serve as key strategies for the rapid prevention and treatment of COVID-19. However, analysis to fully characterize functional SARS-CoV-2 mAbs is still needed. In this study, by interrogating 1,695 published or patented mAbs of human origin and validated SARS-CoV-2-binding potency, we found a highly preferential usage of IGHV3-53/3-66 germline genes that was then revealed as a distinct selectivity of SARS-CoV-2-induced humoral immunity across other coronaviruses. Moreover, among the rare somatic hypermutations, we identified a novel mutation signature of F27 to I, L, or V with high frequency, which was located in the CDR1 region of the heavy chain among IGHV3-53/3-66-encoded antibodies. This convergent mutation contributed to improving SARS-CoV-2 binding affinity and may advance our knowledge of the humoral immunity to SARS-CoV-2.

description: Direct regression for the cumulative incidence function (CIF) has become increasingly popular since the Fine and Gray model was suggested [ Fine and Gray, 1999] due to its more direct interpretation on the probability risk scale. We here consider estimation within the Fine and Gray model using the theory of semiparametric efficient estimation. We show that the Fine and Gray estimator is semiparametrically efficient in the case without censoring. In the case of right-censored data, however, we show that the Fine and Gray estimator is no longer semiparametrically efficient and derive the semiparametrically efficient estimator. This estimation approach involves complicated integral equations, and we therefore also derive a simpler estimator as an augmented version of the Fine and Gray estimator with respect to the censoring nuisance space. While the augmentation term involves the CIF of the competing risk, it also leads to a robustness property: the proposed estimators remain consistent even if one of the models for the censoring mechanism or the CIF of the competing risk are misspecified. We illustrate this robustness property using simulation studies, comparing the Fine-Gray estimator and its augmented version. When the competing cause has a high cumulative incidence we see a substantial gain in efficiency from adding the augmentation term with a very reasonable computation time.

description: Η ίδια η λέξη «θέατρο» σημαίνει τόσο την τελούμενη πράξη, όσο και το χώρο ή το ειδικό κτίσμα που προορίζεται για αυτή. Από τη μελέτη υφιστάμενων παραστατικών χώρων, όπως αυτοί εξελίχθηκαν διαχρονικά έχουν ταξινομηθεί σε δύο βασικές κατηγορίες: ανοιχτό και κλειστό θέατρο. Η μονοσήμαντη διάκριση τους όμως δεν είναι και τόσο απλή. Για την αρχιτεκτονική του θεάτρου είναι εφικτό να εντοπιστεί κάτι, ως «σύστημα», ως σχηματική συνοχή ή δομική αντιστοιχία. Η παρούσα εργασία ερευνά τη μορφολογική εξέλιξη του ανοιχτού θεάτρου και τις υβριδικές μορφές που εμφανίζονται στη σύγχρονη εποχή, στον Ευρωπαϊκό χώρο. Στόχος η εγγύτερη εικόνα για τον ορισμό του θεατρικού χώρου και η διασαφήνιση της έννοιας του ανοιχτού θεάτρου, με την εποπτεία της ιστορικής του εξέλιξης. Η εργασία διαρθρώνεται σε τρεις ενότητες, αρχικά αναλύονται οι σχετικές έννοιες θέατρο, ηθοποιός-θεατής, θεατρικός χώρος. Στο δεύτερο μέρος αναλύονται οι απαρχές και η εξέλιξη του θεατρικού χώρου με γνώμονα την μορφολογία και στο τρίτο μέρος παρατίθενται και κατηγοριοποιούνται οι υβριδικές μορφές θεατρικού χώρου, με έμφαση στον ανοιχτό χώρο παραστάσεων. Ο διαχωρισμός τους επιτυγχάνεται με τη βοήθεια παραδειγμάτων, όπου η διάκριση του ανοιχτού κλειστού δεν είναι ευκρινή και χρήζει η διερεύνηση των ορίων τους.

description: *Background* Previous research suggests that romantic relationships play a crucial role for perceived control. However, we know surprisingly little about changes in perceived control before and after the end of romantic relationships. *Methods* Based on data from the Socio-Economic Panel Study (SOEP), a nationally representative household panel study from Germany, we examined changes of perceived control in the years around separation from a partner (N = 1,235), divorce (N = 423), and the death of a partner (N = 437). *Results* Multilevel analyses revealed that external control beliefs were higher in but not beyond the first year after separation from a partner. Internal and total control beliefs increased gradually in the years after separation. Moreover, internal control beliefs were higher in and especially beyond the first year after the death of a partner compared to the years before. No evidence was found that perceived control already changed in the years before relationship losses or in the years around a divorce. *Conclusion* Taken together, these findings point toward stress-related growth of perceived control after some relationship losses–especially separation and the death of a partner.

description: The generalizability of machine learning (ML) models for wearable monitoring in stroke rehabilitation is often constrained by the limited scale and heterogeneity of available data. Data augmentation addresses this challenge by adding computationally derived data to real data to enrich the variability represented in the training set. Traditional augmentation methods, such as rotation, permutation, and time-warping, have shown some benefits in improving classifier performance, but often fail to produce realistic training examples. This study employs Conditional Generative Adversarial Networks (cGANs) to create synthetic kinematic data from a publicly available dataset, closely mimicking the experimentally measured reaching movements of stroke survivors. This approach not only captures the complex temporal dynamics and common movement patterns after stroke, but also significantly enhances the training dataset. By training deep learning models on both synthetic and experimental data, we enhanced task classification accuracy: models incorporating synthetic data attained an overall accuracy of 80.0%, significantly higher than the 66.1% seen in models trained solely with real data. These improvements allow for more precise task classification, offering clinicians the potential to monitor patient progress more accurately and tailor rehabilitation interventions more effectively.

description: Large Language Models (LLMs) demonstrate impressive reasoning ability and the maintenance of world knowledge not only in natural language tasks, but also in some vision-language tasks such as open-domain knowledge-based visual question answering (OK-VQA). As images are invisible to LLMs, researchers convert images to text to engage LLMs into the visual question reasoning procedure. This leads to discrepancies between images and their textual representations presented to LLMs, which consequently impedes final reasoning performance. To fill the information gap and better leverage the reasoning capability, we design a framework that enables LLMs to proactively ask relevant questions to unveil more details in the image, along with filters for refining the generated information. We validate our idea on OK-VQA and A-OKVQA. Our method continuously boosts the performance of baselines methods by an average gain of 2.15% on OK-VQA, and achieves consistent improvements across different LLMs.

description: Biological entities in nature have developed sophisticated communication methods over millennia to facilitate cooperation. Among these entities, plants are some of the most intricate communicators. They interact with each other through various communication modalities, creating networks that enable the exchange of information and nutrients. In this paper, we explore this collective behavior and its components. We then introduce the concept of agent plants, outlining their architecture and detailing the tasks of each unit. Additionally, we investigate the mycorrhizal fungi-plant symbiosis to extract glucose for energy harvesting. We propose an architecture that converts the chemical energy stored in these glucose molecules into electrical energy. We conduct comprehensive analyses of the proposed architecture to validate its effectiveness.

description: We present a numerical evidence supporting the primordial origin of secondary halo bias even on the galactic mass scale. Analyzing the data from the IllustrisTNG 300-1 simulations, we investigate the dependence of halo bias on the degree of misalignment between the protohalo inertia and initial tidal tensors, $τ$, measured at redshift, $z_{i}=127$. From the TNG 300-1 galactic halos in logarithmic mass range of $10.5< m\equiv \log[M/(h^{-1}M_{\odot})]\le 13$ identified at $z=0,\ 0.5$ and $1$, a clear signal of $τ$ bias is detected. For the case that $τ$ is measured from the initial tidal field smoothed on the scale of $R_{f}/(h^{-1}\,{\rm Mpc})\lesssim 1$, the halo $τ$ bias is found to be very similar in its tendency and amplitude to the spin bias at all of the three redshifts, if the effects of backsplash halos are properly eliminated. For the case of $R_{f}/(h^{-1}\,{\rm Mpc})=2$, the $τ$ bias at $z=1$ turns out to behave like the age bias, diminishing rapidly in the range of $m> 12$. At $z=0$ and $0.5$, however, the $τ$ and age bias factors show large differences in their overall strengths, which is attributed to the dominant nonlinear effects that undermine the former but enhance the latter. Given these numerical results along with the previous finding that $τ$ shares a large amount of mutual information with the formation epochs and spin parameters of galactic halos, it is concluded that the origins of halo age and spin bias must be closely linked with the primordial factor, $τ$, and that the difference in the tendency between the two bias factors on the galactic mass scale reflects the multi-scale influence of $τ$ on the halo secondary properties.
