description: BDNF exhibits a sequence of actions on neurons ranging from acute enhancement of transmission to long-term promotion of neurite outgrowth and synaptogenesis associated with learning and memory. The manifold effects of BDNF on neuronal modifications may be mediated by genomic alterations. We previously found that BDNF treatment acutely increases transcription of the synaptic vesicle protein, Rab3A, required for trophin-induced synaptic plasticity, as well as the peptide, VGF, which increases during learning (Thakker-Varia et al., 2001; Alder et al., 2003). To elucidate comprehensive transcriptional programs associated with short and long-term BDNF exposure, we now examine mRNA abundance and complexity using Affymetrix GeneChips in cultured hippocampal neurons. Consistent with the modulation of synaptic plasticity, BDNF treatment (3-6 hr) induced mRNAs encoding the synapse-associated proteins synaptojanin 2, neuronal pentraxin 1, septin 9 and ryanodine receptor 2. BDNF also induced expression of mRNAs encoding neuropeptides (6-12 hr), including prepronociceptin, neuropeptide Y and secretogranin. To determine whether these neuropeptides induced by BDNF mediate neuronal development, we examined their effects on hippocampal neurons. The four mature peptides derived from post-translational processing of the ppNociceptin propeptide induced the expression of several immediate early genes in hippocampal cultures, indicating neuronal activation. To examine the significance of activation, the effects of nociceptin (orphanin FQ) and nocistatin on neurite outgrowth were examined. Quantitative morphometric analysis revealed that nociceptin significantly increased both average neurite length and average number of neurites per neuron, while nocistatin had no effect on these parameters. These results reveal a novel role for nociceptin and suggest that these neuropeptide systems may contribute to the regulation of neuronal function by BDNF.

description: We demonstrate the presence of anomalous high-energy eigenstates, or many-body scars, in $U(1)$ quantum link and quantum dimer models on square and rectangular lattices. In particular, we consider the paradigmatic Rokhsar-Kivelson Hamiltonian $H=\mathcal{O}_{\mathrm{kin}} + λ\mathcal{O}_{\mathrm{pot}}$ where $\mathcal{O}_{\mathrm{pot}}$ ($\mathcal{O}_{\mathrm{kin}}$) is defined as a sum of terms on elementary plaquettes that are diagonal (off-diagonal) in the computational basis. Both these interacting models possess an exponentially large number of mid-spectrum zero modes in system size at $λ=0$ that are protected by an index theorem preventing any mixing with the nonzero modes at this coupling. We classify different types of scars for $|λ| \lesssim \mathcal{O}(1)$ both at zero and finite winding number sectors complementing and significantly generalizing our previous work [Banerjee and Sen, Phys. Rev. Lett. 126, 220601 (2021)]. The scars at finite $λ$ show a rich variety with those that are composed solely from the zero modes of $\mathcal{O}_{\mathrm{kin}}$, those that contain an admixture of both the zero and the nonzero modes of $\mathcal{O}_{\mathrm{kin}}$, and finally those composed solely from the nonzero modes of $\mathcal{O}_{\mathrm{kin}}$. We give analytic expressions for certain "lego scars" for the quantum dimer model on rectangular lattices where one of the linear dimensions can be made arbitrarily large, with the building blocks (legos) being composed of emergent singlets and other more complicated entangled structures.

 Pentacheles auriculatus Bate, 1878: 280 [type locality: off Kandavu Island, Fiji, 19º07.50’S, 178º19.35’E].
 Polycheles auriculatus - Galil, 2000: 293, 315-317, Fig. 12.
  Material examined. – NE  Taiwan: 1 male (cl. 15.0 mm), (NTOU) 24º47.5’N, 122º17.4’E, 1134 m, TAIWAN 2000 CP61, 4 Aug.2000. SW Taiwan: 1 eryoneicus larva (cl. 15.5 mm), (NTOU), 22 10.0’N, 120 15.9’E, 794-850 m, TAIWAN 2000 CP30, 30 Jul.2000.
 Remarks. – The 15.0 mm specimen agrees in most respects with published accounts (Bate, 1878; Galil, 2000), differing in having 8 instead of 7 lateral carapace spines on the posterior division, 5-6 instead of 10 spines on the branchial carina, and 2 instead of 3-4 spines on the posterior margin of the cervical groove. These differences appear to be size related, for at 15.0 mm carapace length, the present specimen is smaller than the any of those reported by Galil (2000).
 The larval specimen from Station CP30 is tentatively assigned to P. auriculatus. It agrees with P. auriculatus in having paired rostral spines, a spine on the inner and outer margin of the dorsal orbit, paired spines on the outer margin of the basal antennal segment, and lacks an antrorse median spine on the fifth abdominal tergite.
 Distribution. – Western Australia to Vanuatu, New Caledonia, the Philippines, Fiji, the Marquesas Islands and for the first time from Taiwan; 532-1500 m (Galil, 2000).

description: This paper presents an approach to detect out-of-context (OOC) objects in an image. Given an image with a set of objects, our goal is to determine if an object is inconsistent with the scene context and detect the OOC object with a bounding box. In this work, we consider commonly explored contextual relations such as co-occurrence relations, the relative size of an object with respect to other objects, and the position of the object in the scene. We posit that contextual cues are useful to determine object labels for in-context objects and inconsistent context cues are detrimental to determining object labels for out-of-context objects. To realize this hypothesis, we propose a graph contextual reasoning network (GCRN) to detect OOC objects. GCRN consists of two separate graphs to predict object labels based on the contextual cues in the image: 1) a representation graph to learn object features based on the neighboring objects and 2) a context graph to explicitly capture contextual cues from the neighboring objects. GCRN explicitly captures the contextual cues to improve the detection of in-context objects and identify objects that violate contextual relations. In order to evaluate our approach, we create a large-scale dataset by adding OOC object instances to the COCO images. We also evaluate on recent OCD benchmark. Our results show that GCRN outperforms competitive baselines in detecting OOC objects and correctly detecting in-context objects.

description: Background Strengthening capacity for mental health in primary care improves health outcomes by providing timely access to coordinated and integrated mental health care. The successful integration of mental health in primary care is highly dependent on the foundation of the surrounding policy context. In Ontario, Canada, policy reforms in the early 2000’s led to the implementation of a new interprofessional team-model of primary care called Family Health Teams. It is unclear the extent to which the policy context in Ontario influenced the integration of mental health care in Family Health Teams emerging from this period of policy reform. The research question guiding this study was: what were key features of Ontario’s policy context that influenced FHTs capacity to provide mental health services for mood and anxiety disorders? Methods A qualitative study informed by constructivist grounded theory. Individual interviews were conducted with executive directors, family physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses, and the range of professionals who provide mental health services in interprofessional primary care teams; community mental health providers; and provincial policy and decision makers. We used an inductive approach to data analysis. The electronic data management programme NVivo11 helped organise the data analysis process. Results We conducted 96 interviews with 82 participants. With respect to the contextual factors considered to be important features of Ontario’s policy context that influenced primary care teams’ capacity to provide mental health services, we identified four key themes: i) lack of strategic direction for mental health, ii) inadequate resourcing for mental health care, iii) rivalry and envy, and, iv) variations across primary care models. Conclusions As the first point of contact for individuals experiencing mental health difficulties, primary care plays an important role in addressing population mental health care needs. In Ontario, the successful integration of mental health in primary care has been hindered by the lack of strategic direction, and inconsistent resourcing for mental health care. Achieving health equity may be stunted by the structural variations for mental health care across Family Health Teams and across primary care models in Ontario.

description: Spatial Programming (SP) is a novel programming model for networks of embedded systems. The goal of Spatial Programming is to offer a simple, yet expressive way of describing distributed computations over massive, ad hoc networks of spatially distributed embedded systems. Four main design principles represent the basis for Spatial Programming: space is a first order programming concept that needs to be exposed to applications, the access to spatially distributed network resources is decoupled from networking, references to network resources are consistent throughout the program, and SP programs should tolerate the network configuration dynamics. This paper presents the Spatial Programming design and its implementation using Smart Messages. Smart Messages are migratory execution units consisting of code and data, which migrate through the network, route themselves at each node in the path, and execute on nodes of interest. We have developed and evaluated an SM prototype over a modified version of Sun’s KVM (as a Java execution environment). The SM prototype executes over Compaq’s handheld iPAQs running Linux and the IEEE 802.11 MAC for wireless communication. The preliminary experimental results for one application running over our prototype show that Spatial Programming can be a viable programming model for networks of embedded systems and that Smart Messages can be successfully used to implement it.

 Colour in life. – Abdomen pink. Carapace white-pink. Antennae, antennules, pereopods, pleopods, and uropods pink-red.
 Remarks. – The Taiwanese specimens agree well with the recent account of the species (Ahyong & Brown, 2002). As indicated by Ahyong & Brown (2002), Pacific and northwestern Australian specimens reported by Galil (2000) as P. phosphorus are referable to P. galil. The most obvious feature distinguishing P. galil from P. phosphorus is the presence of a median antrorse spine on the first five instead of first four abdominal tergites. Ahyong & Brown (2002) lacked colour-in-life data for P. galil, so the species is shown in colour for the first time in Fig. 4 (F, G). The present specimens were collected at 316-789 m depth.
 Distribution. – Northwestern Australia to Indonesia, New Caledonia, Vanuatu, the Philippines, Japan and for the first time from Taiwan; 200-1354 m.

description: Up to 50% of individuals with psychosis experience persisting psychotic symptoms, such as auditory hallucinations (‘voices’) and delusions, despite the use of antipsychotic medication. Treatment of these symptoms has been a major target in the development of psychological therapies. The overarching goal of this thesis was to empirically test the use of mindfulness as a therapeutic tool for managing the distress and disruption associated with psychotic symptoms. This thesis involved the development of an individual-format, manualised, mindfulness-based intervention for persistent voices. Findings suggest further large-scale feasibility trials are warranted to ascertain the efficacy for focused mindfulness interventions for distressing voices.

description: Supratransmission is a fascinating and counterintuitive nonlinear wave phenomenon that enables energy transmission through frequency band gaps. Recent studies have suggested that supratransmission in a damped-driven Klein-Gordon equation can lead to the formation of rogue waves. In this work, we reduce the same model to a damped and driven discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation and demonstrate that the claimed rogue waves are unstable solitons exhibiting breathing dynamics. Through extensive numerical simulations, we thoroughly investigate and analyze the behavior of solitons and supratransmission in these lattices. Additionally, we perform asymptotic analysis to explain the underlying mechanism responsible for supratransmission. Our findings provide new insights into the dynamics of nonlinear waves and their stability in such systems.

description: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of visual impairment among elderly in the world. Early detection of AMD is of great importance, as the vision loss caused by this disease is irreversible and permanent. Color fundus photography is the most cost-effective imaging modality to screen for retinal disorders. Cutting edge deep learning based algorithms have been recently developed for automatically detecting AMD from fundus images. However, there are still lack of a comprehensive annotated dataset and standard evaluation benchmarks. To deal with this issue, we set up the Automatic Detection challenge on Age-related Macular degeneration (ADAM), which was held as a satellite event of the ISBI 2020 conference. The ADAM challenge consisted of four tasks which cover the main aspects of detecting and characterizing AMD from fundus images, including detection of AMD, detection and segmentation of optic disc, localization of fovea, and detection and segmentation of lesions. As part of the challenge, we have released a comprehensive dataset of 1200 fundus images with AMD diagnostic labels, pixel-wise segmentation masks for both optic disc and AMD-related lesions (drusen, exudates, hemorrhages and scars, among others), as well as the coordinates corresponding to the location of the macular fovea. A uniform evaluation framework has been built to make a fair comparison of different models using this dataset. During the challenge, 610 results were submitted for online evaluation, with 11 teams finally participating in the onsite challenge. This paper introduces the challenge, the dataset and the evaluation methods, as well as summarizes the participating methods and analyzes their results for each task. In particular, we observed that the ensembling strategy and the incorporation of clinical domain knowledge were the key to improve the performance of the deep learning models.

description: Community residents conceive their health and wellness priorities and concerns differently, often based on their cultural, socio-economic, ethnic, and racial characteristics. As public libraries and other information organizations seek to build healthier communities by improving access to information and health literacy, they are well-served by focusing first on engaging their communities so they can better align their programs and services to reflect their specific health-related aspirations and concerns. In central New Jersey, regional health care agencies have developed a Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP); among their top priorities for the Middlesex/Somerset County region is access to health care and health information. The regional CHIP has turned to libraries for assistance, especially since one of the country’s premier consumer health programs, Just for the Health of It, located at the East Brunswick Public Library, has demonstrated how certifying librarians as health information specialists can make a significant difference in health outcomes. Nevertheless, this model may not fit all libraries in the region, particularly in the adjacent communities of New Brunswick and Franklin Township/Somerset, where many immigrant and African-American residents experience persistent disparate health outcomes. Our research addressed underlying reasons why the residents of these three communities differ in their approach to health and wellness. We used community engagement tools to listen to local citizens talk about their aspirations and concerns, then themed these conversations, and created community narratives that represent great variation in approaches to health and wellness, and ways that health care and information organizations might respond. We then met with librarians from each of the three communities to review the narratives, consider their aspirations and concerns, and discuss ways to move forward in providing meaningful health information programs to their communities.

description: Spontaneous CP violation, such as the Nelson-Barr (NB) mechanism, is an attractive scenario for addressing the strong CP problem while realizing the observed phase of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) quark-mixing matrix. However, not only the CKM phase but also the baryon asymmetric Universe requires sources of CP violation. In this study, we show that a supersymmetric NB mechanism can naturally accommodate the Affleck-Dine (AD) baryogenesis within a CP-invariant Lagrangian. The model provides flat directions associated with new heavy quarks. Focusing on one of the directions, we find that the correct baryon asymmetry is obtained with a sufficiently low reheating temperature which does not cause the gravitino problem. Some parameter space is consistent with the gravitino dark matter. We assess radiative corrections to the strong CP phase induced by gauge-mediated supersymmetry breaking and CP-violating heavy fields and show that the strong CP problem is solved in a viable parameter space where the visible sector supersymmetric particles must be lighter than O(100) TeV. Even in the case that they are heavier than the TeV scale, our model predicts the neutron electric dipole moment within the reach of the near future experiments. Our model addresses the electroweak naturalness problem, strong CP problem, baryon asymmetric Universe, and dark matter. Then, the model may give a new compelling paradigm of physics beyond the Standard Model.

Reformulation of design optimization strategies

Publisher: name: Rutgers University
Year: 1996

description: Automatic design optimization is highly sensitive to problem formulation. The choice of objective function, constraints and design parameters can dramatically impact the computational cost of optimization and the quality of the resulting design. The best formulation varies from one application to another. A design engineer will usually not know the best formulation in advance. We have therefore developed a system that supports interactive formulation, testing and reformulation of design optimization strategies. Our system includes an executable, second-order data-flow language for representing optimization strategies. The language allows an engineer to define multiple stages of optimization, and to specify the design parameters, constraints and objectives to be handled at each stage. We have also developed a set of transformations that reformulate strategies represented in our language. The transformations can approximate objective and constraint functions, define new constraints, and re-parameterize or change the dimension of the search space, among other things. The system is applicable to design problems in which the artifact is governed by algebraic or ordinary differential equations. We have tested the system on problems of racing yacht and jet engine nozzle design. We report experimental results demonstrating that our reformulation techniques can significantly improve the performance of automatic design optimization.

 Remarks. – The present series includes the largest known specimen of P. helleri, having a carapace length of 50 mm and agrees well with those reported by Galil (2000). The lateral carapace spination of the present specimens, 5-6:3- 4:6-10, encompasses that reported by Galil (2000).
 The colour-in-life of P. helleri resembles P. galil: the carapace and abdomen are pale pink and the uropods and pereopods are a darker, reddish pink. The eggs of P. helleri are bright orange but no ovigerous female of P. galil has yet been recorded from Taiwan. Polycheles helleri, however, differs from P. galil by having two instead of one spine on the outer margin of the basal antennular segment, unarmed instead of armed inner and outer angles of the dorsal orbital sinus, and a smooth instead of spinous branchial region. The Taiwanese specimens were collected at depths between 1138 and 2947 m.
 Distribution. – Western Indian Ocean to Australia, Indonesia, New Guinea, New Caledonia, Japan and now from Taiwan; 787 m (Galil, 2000)- 2947 m (present record).

description: As combinatorial optimization is one of the main quantum computing applications, many methods based on parameterized quantum circuits are being developed. In general, a set of parameters are being tweaked to optimize a cost function out of the quantum circuit output. One of these algorithms, the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm stands out as a promising approach to tackling combinatorial problems. However, finding the appropriate parameters is a difficult task. Although QAOA exhibits concentration properties, they can depend on instances characteristics that may not be easy to identify, but may nonetheless offer useful information to find good parameters. In this work, we study unsupervised Machine Learning approaches for setting these parameters without optimization. We perform clustering with the angle values but also instances encodings (using instance features or the output of a variational graph autoencoder), and compare different approaches. These angle-finding strategies can be used to reduce calls to quantum circuits when leveraging QAOA as a subroutine. We showcase them within Recursive-QAOA up to depth $3$ where the number of QAOA parameters used per iteration is limited to $3$, achieving a median approximation ratio of $0.94$ for MaxCut over $200$ Erdős-Rényi graphs. We obtain similar performances to the case where we extensively optimize the angles, hence saving numerous circuit calls.

description: Bin/Amphiphysin/Rvs superfamily proteins and other curvature-inducing proteins have anisotropic shapes and anisotropically bend biomembrane. Here, we report how the anisotropic proteins bind the membrane tube and are orientationally ordered using mean-field theory including an orientation-dependent excluded volume. The proteins exhibit a second-order or first-order nematic transition with increasing protein density depending on the radius of the membrane tube. The tube curvatures for the maximum protein binding and orientational order are different and varied by the protein density and rigidity. As the external force along the tube axis increases, a first-order transition from a large tube radius with low protein density to a small radius with high density occurs once, and subsequently, the protein orientation tilts to the tube-axis direction. When an isotropic bending energy is used for the proteins with an elliptic shape, the force-dependence curves become symmetric and the first-order transition occurs twice. This theory quantitatively reproduces the results of meshless membrane simulation for short proteins, whereas deviations are seen for long proteins owing to the formation of protein clusters.

description: A dichotomy between depth penetration and resolution as a function of sonar frequency, draw resolution, and beam spread challenges fish target classification from sonar. Moving high frequency sources to depth using autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) mitigates this and also co-locates transducers with other AUV-mounted short-range sensors to allow a holistic approach to ecological surveys. This widely available tool with a pedigree for bottom mapping is not commonly applied to fish reconnaissance and requires the development of an interpretation of pelagic reflective features, re-visitation of count methods, image-processing rather than wave-form recognition for automation, and an understanding of bias. In a series of AUV mission test cases, side scan sonar (600 and 900 kHz) returns often resolved individual school members, spacing, size, behavior, and (infrequently) species from anatomical features and could be intuitively classified by ecologists - but also produced artifacts. Fish often followed the AUV and thus were videographed, but in doing so removed themselves from the sonar aperture. AUV-supported high frequency side scan holds particular promise for survey of scarce large species or for synergistic investigation of predators and their prey because the spatial scale of observations may be similar to those of predators.

 Remarks. – Of the known Taiwanese polychelids, P. sculptus would most likely be confused with P. galil. Polycheles sculptus differs from P. galil chiefly in bearing two instead of one spine on the outer margin of the basal antennular segment.
 Of all known species, P. sculptus most closely resembles P. talismani from West Africa. Galil (2000) distinguished P. talismani from P. sculptus by 1) having more lateral carapace spines posterior to the postcervical incision (8-10 vs 6-7), 2) a denticulate instead of smooth double dorsal carina on the sixth tergite and 3) a prominent instead of obsolete proximal dorsal crest on the telson. The lateral carapace spination exhibited by the present specimens of P. sculptus (6:3:7-8) shows that the lateral carapace spines posterior to the postcervical incision overlap in the two species. Therefore, the latter two features distinguishing P. sculptus from P. talismani, namely the form of the dorsal carina on the sixth abdominal tergite and proximal crest on the telson, appear to be the most reliable distinguishing characters.
 Distribution. – Worldwide: both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, including the Mediterranean Sea, and widely distributed in the Indo-West Pacific. Polycheles sculptus is reported for the first time from Taiwan; 200-4000m (Galil, 2000).

description: Brain function and connectivity is a pressing mystery in medicine related to many diseases. Neural connectomes have been studied as graphs with graph theory methods including topological methods. Work has started on hypergraph models and methods where the geometry and topology is significantly different. We define a hypergraph called the hyper-connectome with joint information entropy and total correlation. We give the pseudocode for computation from finite samples. We give the theoretic importance of this generalization's topology and geometry with respect to random variables and then prove the hypergraph can be necessary for prediction and classification. We confirm with a simulation study and computation. We prove the approximation for continuous random variables with finite samples. We compare connectome versus hyper-connectome for predicting schizophrenia in subjects based on a fMRI dataset using a linear support vector machine. The hyper-connectome achieves better performance in accuracy (up to 56\%) and F1 score (up to 0.52) than the connectome. We reject null hypothesis at 95\% with p-value = 0.00074.

description: Corporate activities take place in a variety of social contexts, including in countries affected by armed conflict. Whether corporations are physically present in these regions or merely do business with partners from conflict zones, there is an increased risk that their activities contribute to egregious human rights abuses or serious environmental harm. This is especially so for corporations active in or relying on the extractives sector. It is against this background that the ILC included two principles addressing corporate responsibility for environmental harm in its Draft Principles on the protection of the environment in relation to armed conflict. Both principles explicitly call on the home States of these corporations to give effect to their complementary role in regulating and enforcing corporate social responsibility. Draft Principle 10 addresses the responsibility of home States to regulate multinational corporations under the heading of “corporate due diligence”, while Draft Principle 11 addresses the responsibility of home States to hold multinational corporations liable for environmental damage caused in conflict zones. The current contribution engages with the potential normative foundations underpinning extraterritorial responsibilities for the home States of multinational corporations with respect to the prevention and remediation of environmental harm in conflict zones, focusing on international humanitarian law and international human rights law. It concludes that the Draft Principles are certainly indicative of the direction in which the law is evolving, but that no firm obligations beyond treaty law can be discerned as of yet. It was therefore a wise decision to phrase the respective Draft Principles as recommendations instead of obligations. At the same time, there are sufficient indications to conclude that it seems a matter of time before it is accepted that States have distinct obligations under customary international law for which their responsibility may be engaged. It is argued that the ILC Draft Principles provide an important impetus to these developments, not in the least because they provide a reference to States regarding the state-of-the-art and guidance for future action.

A primer on wage gap decompositions in the analysis of labor market discrimination

description: The traditional wage gap decomposition accounts for differences across demographic groups in wages and in the determinants of wages. The analysis decomposes the wage gap in a particular year into a portion explained by average group differences in productivity characteristics and a residual portion that is commonly attributed to discrimination. The low-cost data requirements and the intuitive appeal help to explain the popularity of the traditional procedure as a starting point for estimating the extent of wage discrimination. Researchers have subsequently introduced a number of extensions that build more detailed steps into the decomposition in order to provide a richer set of results. Evidence from these decompositions can provide a more finely-tuned benchmark as to the degree to which discrimination serves as an explanation for the presence and persistence of group differences in average wages.
Emotional intelligence and generic skills in the traditional trades

description: Completion rates in Australian apprenticeships have been low for many years. This thesis explored the possibility that emotional intelligence, personality, and generic skills might affect completion rates indirectly by shaping workplace relationships and day-to-day workplace interactions. The research made use of large scale surveys and in-depth interviews. The results of this research suggest that the interpersonal relationships apprentices have in training are central to their apprenticeship experience. Furthermore, findings suggest that incorporating interpersonal skills in the training curriculum could lead to better training outcomes for apprentices, employers, and stakeholders.
