description: Rehabilitative swallowing exercises are commonly used to either strengthen and/or improve coordination/timing of swallowing muscles in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) (Robbins et al., 1986); however, the potential effect of these exercises on the neuromuscular control of swallowing has yet to be explored in this patient population. This preliminary project focused on examining neuromuscular amplitude and timing components in typical swallows (5mL thin liquid and 5cc pudding) and maneuvers (effortful swallow and Mendelsohn maneuver) in a group of patients with idiopathic PD. A cross-sectional prospective study was completed. Data were collected on 15 participants (Mean age 70.5 ± 8.03; N=9 females; N=6 males) pre- and post a one-hour intervention session and included simultaneous data collection of surface electromyography (sEMG) and videofluroscopy (VFSS). This study focused on the pre-treatment sEMG data. Surface EMG data were collected from the submental muscles during typical swallows and maneuvers. The following sEMG outcome variables were examined: burst duration (BD) of the smoother sEMG signal, normalized mean sEMG amplitude, and time-to-peak sEMG amplitude. Overall, our results revealed that patients with PD elicited the longest burst duration for the Mendelsohn maneuver, the highest normalized mean amplitude for the effortful swallow, and the fastest TTP during 5mL thin liquid trials. To our knowledge, this is the first study that offers insights into the neuromuscular contributions of swallowing maneuvers in PD patients, and future research should support and expand upon these findings to offer important evidence on how and when to prescribe these rehabilitative maneuvers to patients with PD.

description: Ion transport in highly-confined space is important to various applications, such as biosensing and seawater desalination with nanopores. All-atom molecular dynamics simulations are conducted to investigate the transport of Na$^+$ and Cl$^-$ ions through nanopores with the diameter below 6 nm. It is found that the formation of the contact ion pair plays a critical role in reducing the ion mobility inside a nanopore without surface charges. The mobility for both cations and anions decreases with the reduced pore size because it is easier to form the contact ion pairs inside the neutral nanopore with smaller diameter. Inside a charged nanopores, besides the contact ion pair formation, the surface charges also play a significant role in reducing the counterion mobility through surface trapping. It is uncovered that the mobility of Na$^+$ ions increases first and then decreases with the surface charge density, while Cl$^-$ ions have the opposite trend. A modified first-passage time model is proposed to take into account the ion pair formation and the trapped ions inside a nanopore, which provides a clear picture in describing ion transport through a nanopore.

description: The advancement of various research sectors such as Internet of Things (IoT), Machine Learning, Data Mining, Big Data, and Communication Technology has shed some light in transforming an urban city integrating the aforementioned techniques to a commonly known term - Smart City. With the emergence of smart city, plethora of data sources have been made available for wide variety of applications. The common technique for handling multiple data sources is data fusion, where it improves data output quality or extracts knowledge from the raw data. In order to cater evergrowing highly complicated applications, studies in smart city have to utilize data from various sources and evaluate their performance based on multiple aspects. To this end, we introduce a multi-perspectives classification of the data fusion to evaluate the smart city applications. Moreover, we applied the proposed multi-perspectives classification to evaluate selected applications in each domain of the smart city. We conclude the paper by discussing potential future direction and challenges of data fusion integration.

description: We compute the two-point correlation functions of general quadratic operators in the high-temperature phase of the three-dimensional O(N) vector model by using field-theoretical methods. In particular, we study the small- and large-momentum behavior of the corresponding scaling functions, and give general interpolation formulae based on a dispersive approach. Moreover, we determine the crossover exponent $ϕ_T$ associated with the traceless tensorial quadratic field, by computing and analyzing its six-loop perturbative expansion in fixed dimension. We find: $ϕ_T=1.184(12)$, $ϕ_T=1.271(21)$, and $ϕ_T=1.40(4)$ for $N=2,3,5$ respectively.

description: This is the raw data from a study, an abstract of which is described below.

Background and objective: Acinetobacter baumannii commonly causes lower airway colonisation and infection, and is easily confused. This study aimed to analyse the biological characteristics of carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii ST2 in the lower airway and identify an effective method for distinguishing between A. baumannii colonisation and infection.

Methods: Lower airway carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii ST2 isolated at the Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine and intensive care unit of our hospital from January 2021 to June 2023 were included, and their whole genome, biofilm forming ability, bacterial virulence, and metabolome were analysed.

Results: Fifty-six strains of carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii with ST2 were identified, of which 32 were infection strains and 24 were colonisation strains. The virulence and resistance genes, virulence, and biofilm-forming ability of ST2-type carbapenem-resistant lower airway-infecting and -colonising A. baumannii strains were similar. The levels of metabolites were significantly lower in ST2 type carbapenem-resistant lower airway-infecting A. baumannii infection strains than those in the lower airway-colonising strains. The levels of (S)-(+)-2-(aniline methyl) pyrrolidine, valine, ketoleucine, L-isoleucine, homoserine, n-acetyl-L-aspartate, and 2-aminoethanol-1-phosphate in the lower airway infection strains were significantly lower than those in the lower airway colonisation strains.

Conclusion: Bacterial virulence tests and biofilm formation ability could not distinguish the same ST of carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii in the lower airway from the colonization or infection strains; however, metabolomics could. The biosynthesis and degradation pathways of valine, leucine, and isoleucine were downregulated, and changes in their metabolism may be important factors in promoting carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii transformation from colonization to infection.

Recent neolithic trade in New Guinea : the ecological basis of traffic in goods among stone-age subsistence farmers
Creators: name: Hughes, Ian Morris
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1971
Subjects: subject: Trade routes
subject: New Guinea (Territory) Commerce History

description: The project was first conceived as a study in the geography of primitive trade, using ecology as a conceptual and methodological framework. Other studies of trade in technologically simple societies, of which the most relevant is Harding's monograph on a New Guinea coastal trading system, explained trade as the result of environmentally caused specialization and cultural diversity (e.g. Harding, 1967, 241). This view was taken as a basic assumption in formulating the present project. Trade goods, the routes over which they travelled, and the rates at which they were exchanged, were all viewed as the product of varied culturally controlled responses to different natural environments.

description: Liquid biopsy has proven valuable in identifying individual genetic alterations; however, the ability of plasma ctDNA to capture complex tumor phenotypes with clinical value is unknown. To address this question, we have performed 0.5X shallow whole-genome sequencing in plasma from 459 patients with metastatic breast cancer, including 245 patients treated with endocrine therapy and a CDK4/6 inhibitor (ET + CDK4/6i) from 2 independent cohorts. We demonstrate that machine learning multi-gene signatures, obtained from ctDNA, identify complex biological features, including measures of tumor proliferation and estrogen receptor signaling, similar to what is accomplished using direct tumor tissue DNA or RNA profiling. More importantly, 4 DNA-based subtypes, and a ctDNA-based genomic signature tracking retinoblastoma loss-of-heterozygosity, are significantly associated with poor response and survival outcome following ET + CDK4/6i, independently of plasma tumor fraction. Our approach opens opportunities for the discovery of additional multi-feature genomic predictors coming from ctDNA in breast cancer and other cancer-types.

description: One of the main responsibilities of universities for their students, researchers, and society is to teach scientific integrity. Over the years, many universities—including RWTH Aachen University—have developed modules to impart the rules of good scientific practice. The current case study outlines the “Scientific Integrity” online course of RWTH Aachen University that has been offered to all master’s students starting in October 2020; it explains to what extent the topic of scientific integrity meets genuine interest among students. Based on the online questionnaires that students were asked to fill out before starting the course (Q1) and after completing the course (Q2), it was verified that the implemented course achieved a satisfactory, but expandable acceptance. 57% of study participants initially (Q1) strongly affirmed to be interested in the topic; said percentage increased to 65.3% at the end of the course (Q2). While at the time of Q1 most students admitted that they would not take the course if it were voluntary, the majority of study participants came to the opposite conclusion after the course (Q2). The results suggest that the assessment of the relevance of the course may be dependent on familiarity with its contents.

description: In this paper we show that various continued fractions for the quotient of general Ramanujan functions $G(aq,b,łq)/G(a,b,ł)$ may be derived from each other via Bauer-Muir transformations. The separate convergence of numerators and denominators play a key part in showing that the continued fractions and their Bauer-Muir transformations converge to the same limit. We also show that these continued fractions may be derived from Heine's continued fraction for a ratio of $_2ϕ_1$ functions and other continued fractions of a similar type, and by this method derive a new continued fraction for $G(aq,b,łq)/G(a,b,ł)$. Finally we derive a number of new versions of some beautiful continued fraction expansions of Ramanujan for certain combinations of infinite products, with the following being an example: \begin{multline*} \frac{(-a,b;q)_{\infty} - (a,-b;q)_{\infty}}{(-a,b;q)_{\infty}+ (a,-b;q)_{\infty}} = \frac{(a-b)}{1-a b} \- \frac{(1-a^2)(1-b^2)q}{1-a b q^2}\\ \- \frac{(a-bq^2)(b-aq^2)q}{1-a b q^4} %\phantom{sdsadadsaasdda}\\ \- \frac{(1-a^2q^2)(1-b^2q^2)q^3}{1-a b q^6} \- \frac{(a-bq^4)(b-aq^4)q^3}{1-a b q^8} \- \cds . \end{multline*}

description: Although Shannon mutual information has been widely used, its effective calculation is often difficult for many practical problems, including those in neural population coding. Asymptotic formulas based on Fisher information sometimes provide accurate approximations to the mutual information but this approach is restricted to continuous variables because the calculation of Fisher information requires derivatives with respect to the encoded variables. In this paper, we consider information-theoretic bounds and approximations of the mutual information based on Kullback--Leibler divergence and Rényi divergence. We propose several information metrics to approximate Shannon mutual information in the context of neural population coding. While our asymptotic formulas all work for discrete variables, one of them has consistent performance and high accuracy regardless of whether the encoded variables are discrete or continuous. We performed numerical simulations and confirmed that our approximation formulas were highly accurate for approximating the mutual information between the stimuli and the responses of a large neural population. These approximation formulas may potentially bring convenience to the applications of information theory to many practical and theoretical problems.

description: The electrodissolution of p-type silicon in a fluoride-containing electrolyte is a prominent electrochemical oscillator with a still unknown oscillation mechanism. In this article, we present a study of its dynamical states occurring in a wide range of the applied voltage - external resistance parameter plane. We provide evidence that the system possesses inherent birhythmicity, and thus at least two distinct feedback loops promoting oscillatory behaviour. The two parameter regions in which the different limit cycles exist are separated by a band in which the dynamics exhibit bistability between two branches with different multimode oscillations. Following the states along one path through this bistable region, one observes that each branch undergoes a different transition to chaos, namely a period-doubling cascade and a quasiperiodic route with a torus-breakdown, respectively, making Si electrodissolution one of the few experimental systems exhibiting bichaoticity.

description: Anytime reliable communication systems are needed in contexts where the property of vanishing error probability with time is critical. This is the case of unstable real time systems that are to be controlled through the transmission and processing of remotely sensed data. The most successful anytime reliable transmission systems developed so far are based on channel codes and channel coding theory. In this work, another focus is proposed, placing the stress on the waveform level rather than just on the coding level. This alleviates the coding and decoding complexity problems faced by other proposals. To this purpose, chaos theory is successfully exploited in order to design two different anytime reliable alternatives. The anytime reliability property is formally demonstrated in each case for the AWGN channel, under given conditions. The simulation results shown validate the theoretical developments, and demonstrate that these systems can achieve anytime reliability with affordable resource expenditure.

We will show in this article that even if all geometric data are defined over $\overline{\mathbb{Q}}$, the Strebel differential can still have a transcendental period. We construct a Strebel differential $q$ on an arbitrary complete nonsingular algebraic curve $C$ defined over $\overline{\mathbb{Q}}$ such that (i) all poles of $q$ are $\overline{\mathbb{Q}}$-rational points of $C$; (ii) the residue of $\sqrt{q}$ at each pole is a positive integer; and (iii) $q$ has a transcendental period.

It is shown that the strong-coupling effects are less susceptible to the quasiparticle scattering events in comparison to the weak-coupling counterpart. This supports the conclusion about stabilization of the $B$-phase in aerogel environment at pressures where the $A$-phase takes over in bulk superfluid $^3He$, in accordance with recent experimental observations in zero magnetic field.

description: Background: The prevalence of depression is higher in individuals with autoimmune diseases, but the mechanisms underlying the observed comorbidities are unknown. Shared genetic etiology is a plausible explanation for the overlap, and in this study we tested whether genetic variation in the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), which is associated with risk for autoimmune diseases, is also associated with risk for depression. Methods: We fine-mapped the classical MHC (chr6: 29.6–33.1 Mb), imputing 216 human leukocyte antigen (HLA) alleles and 4 complement component 4 (C4) haplotypes in studies from the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium Major Depressive Disorder Working Group and the UK Biobank. The total sample size was 45,149 depression cases and 86,698 controls. We tested for association between depression status and imputed MHC variants, applying both a region-wide significance threshold (3.9 × 10−6) and a candidate threshold (1.6 × 10−4). Results: No HLA alleles or C4 haplotypes were associated with depression at the region-wide threshold. HLA-B*08:01 was associated with modest protection for depression at the candidate threshold for testing in HLA genes in the meta-analysis (odds ratio = 0.98, 95% confidence interval = 0.97–0.99). Conclusions: We found no evidence that an increased risk for depression was conferred by HLA alleles, which play a major role in the genetic susceptibility to autoimmune diseases, or C4 haplotypes, which are strongly associated with schizophrenia. These results suggest that any HLA or C4 variants associated with depression either are rare or have very modest effect sizes.

description: Multiple lines of evidence point to one or more moderately nearby supernovae, with the strongest signal ~2.6 Ma. We build on previous work to argue for the likelihood of cosmic ray ionization of the atmosphere and electron cascades leading to more frequent lightning, and therefore an increase in nitrate deposition and in wildfires. The potential exists for a large increase in the pre-human nitrate flux onto the surface, which has previously been argued to lead to CO2 drawdown and cooling of the climate. Evidence for increased wildfires exists in an increase in soot and carbon deposits over the relevant period. The wildfires would have contributed to the transition from forest to savanna in northeast Africa, long argued to have been a factor in the evolution of hominin bipedalism.

description: The analytic properties of Nilsson's Modified Oscillator (MO), which was first introduced in nuclear structure, and of the recently introduced, based on quantum algebraic techniques, 3-dimensional q-deformed harmonic oscillator (3-dim q-HO) with Uq(3) > SOq(3) symmetry, which is known to reproduce correctly in terms of only one parameter the magic numbers of alkali clusters up to 1500 (the expected limit of validity for theories based on the filling of electronic shells), are considered. Exact expressions for the total energy of closed shells are determined and compared among them. Furthermore, the systematics of the appearance of supershells in the spectra of the two oscillators is considered, showing that the 3-dim q-HO correctly predicts the first supershell closure in alkali clusters without use of any extra parameter.

description: Purpose: The SP142 PD-L1 assay is a companion diagnostic for atezolizumab in metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). We strove to understand the biological, genomic, and clinical characteristics associated with SP142 PD-L1 positivity in TNBC patients. Methods: Using 149 TNBC formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tumor samples, tissue microarray (TMA) and gene expression microarrays were performed in parallel. The VENTANA SP142 assay was used to identify PD-L1 expression from TMA slides. We next generated a gene signature reflective of SP142 status and evaluated signature distribution according to TNBCtype and PAM50 subtypes. A SP142 gene expression signature was identified and was biologically and clinically evaluated on the TNBCs of TCGA, other cohorts, and on other malignancies treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI). Results: Using SP142, 28.9% of samples were PD-L1 protein positive. The SP142 PD-L1-positive TNBC had higher CD8+ T cell percentage, stromal tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte levels, and higher rate of the immunomodulatory TNBCtype compared to PD-L1-negative samples. The recurrence-free survival was prolonged in PD-L1-positive TNBC. The SP142-guided gene expression signature consisted of 94 immune-related genes. The SP142 signature was associated with a higher pathologic complete response rate and better survival in multiple TNBC cohorts. In the TNBC of TCGA, this signature was correlated with lymphocyte-infiltrating signature scores, but not with tumor mutational burden or total neoantigen count. In other malignancies treated with ICIs, the SP142 genomic signature was associated with improved response and survival. Conclusions: We provide multi-faceted evidence that SP142 PDL1-positive TNBC have immuno-genomic features characterized as highly lymphocyte-infiltrated and a relatively favorable survival.

description: The Klein-Gordon and Dirac equations in a semi-infinite lab ($x > 0$), in the background metric $\ds^2 = u^2(x) (-\dt^2 + \dx^2) + \dy^2 + \dz^2$, are investigated. The resulting equations are studied for the special case $ u(x) = 1 + g x$. It is shown that in the case of zero transverse-momentum, the square of the energy eigenvalues of the spin-1/2 particles are less than the squares of the corresponding eigenvalues of spin-0 particles with same masses, by an amount of $mg\hbar c$. Finally, for nonzero transverse-momentum, the energy eigenvalues corresponding to large quantum numbers are obtained, and the results for spin-0 and spin-1/2 particles are compared to each other.

description: We construct a family of rings. To a plane diagram of a tangle we associate a complex of bimodules over these rings. Chain homotopy equivalence class of this complex is an invariant of the tangle. On the level of Grothendieck groups this invariant descends to the Kauffman bracket of the tangle. When the tangle is a link, the invariant specializes to the bigraded cohomology theory introduced in our earlier work.

 Cornutopria S. Endrödy-Younga, 1978: 303, 305.
 Type species. Cornutopria basilewskyi S. Endrödy-Younga, 1978: 306 (by original designation).
 Generic diagnosis. The single known species (1.8–3.1 mm length; 1.0– 1.5 mm width) exhibits the combination of characters listed by ENDRÖDY- YOUNGA (1978) (Figs. 39 a–f; all drawings from ENDRÖDY- YOUNGA 1978).
 Etymology. The generic name was derived from the combination of the Latin name ‘ cornutus ’ (= bearing horns), and Pria, a widespread genus of Nitidulidae Meligethinae, which is indicative of the long antennae of the single species attributed to this taxon, and the phylogenetic relationships with Pria. Gender feminine.
 Biology. The biology of the single known representative of Cornutopria, C. basilewskyi from Zaire, is unknown (ENDRÖDY- YOUNGA 1978). A probable association with male inflorescences of palms (Arecaceae) may be inferred, as it is analogously exhibited in the related genera Microporodes and Palmopria, however this assumption is speculative and requires further fieldwork to substantiate.
 Phylogenetic position. Available morphological data provides possible evidence of a relatively close relationship with members of the [(Palmopria + Microporodes) + Lechanteuria] clade. No molecular data are currently available.
 Taxonomy and geographic distribution. This taxon includes a single species from central Africa.
