Publisher: name: Media Inaf
Year: 2024

Recenti esperimenti condotti presso i Sandia National Laboratories di Albuquerque hanno dimostrato che è possibile modificare l'orbita di eventuali asteroidi di grandi dimensioni che fossero in rotta di collisione con la Terra ricorrendo a esplosioni nucleari. Non si tratta di uno scenario da fantascienza in stile "Armageddon", ma di una tecnica in grado di deflettere l'orbita di un asteroide quel tanto che basta per evitare l'impatto

description: We study a scenario to derive four-dimensional modular flavor symmetric models from higher dimensional theory by assuming the compactification consistent with the modular symmetry. In our scenario, wavefunctions in extra dimensional compact space are modular forms. That leads to constraints on combinations between modular weights and $Γ_N$ ($Γ_N')$ representations of matter fields. We also present illustrating examples.

Semiquantum Private Comparison of Size Relationship Based on d-level Single-Particle States

description: In this paper, we propose a novel semiquantum private comparison (SQPC) protocol of size relationship based on d-level single-particle states. The designed protocol can compare the size relationship of different privacy messages from two classical users with the help of a semi-honest third party (TP), who is permitted to misbehave on her own but cannot be in collusion with anyone else. The correctness analysis shows that this protocol can gain correct comparison results. The security analysis turns out that this protocol can resist famous outside attacks and participant attacks. Moreover, this protocol can guarantee that TP does not know the accurate comparison results. Compared with the only existing SQPC protocol of size relationship (Quantum Inf. Process. 20:124 (2021)), this protocol takes advantage over it on the aspects of initial quantum resource, TP's measurement operations and TP's knowledge about the comparison results.

In this method, we utilize the CA, inserted on the pupil plane, as support constraints in blind deconvolution. Not only an object but also a point spread function of turbulence are estimated from a single captured image by a reconstruction algorithm with the CA support. The proposed method is demonstrated by a simulation and an experiment in which point sources are recovered under severe turbulence.

Year: 2020
Subjects: Economics

description: We study job gross flows in Russia using large enterprise-level data sets from 1997 administrative records of firms in manufacturing and mining, construction and distribution and trade in four representative regions. We show that in 1997 small firms were the most successful at creating jobs while medium and large firms were mainly destroying them. Privatised firms fared no better than state-owned ones whilst new private firms outperformed firms with other ownership type as far as job creation is concerned. However, much of this superior performance seemed to have been related to labour market entry.

description: Single-reference coupled-cluster theory is an accurate and affordable computational method for the nuclear many-body problem. For open-shell nuclei, the reference state typically breaks rotational invariance and angular momentum must be restored as a good quantum number. We perform angular-momentum projection after variation and employ the disentangled coupled-cluster formalism and a Hermitian approach. We compare our results with benchmarks for $^8$Be and $^{20}$Ne using a two-nucleon interaction from chiral effective field theory and for $pf$-shell nuclei within the traditional shell model. We compute the rotational band in the exotic nucleus $^{34}$Mg and find agreement with data.

description: Natural products that contain ortho-quinones show great potential as anticancer agents but have been largely discarded from clinical development because their redox-cycling behaviour results in general systemic toxicity. Here we report conjugation of ortho-quinones to a carrier, which simultaneously masks their underlying redox activity. C-benzylation at a quinone carbonyl forms a redox-inactive benzyl ketol. Upon a specific enzymatic trigger, an acid-promoted, self-immolative C-C bond-cleaving 1,6-elimination mechanism releases the redox-active hydroquinone inside cells. By using a 5-lipoxygenase modulator, β-lapachone, we created cathepsin-B-cleavable quinone prodrugs. We applied the strategy for intracellular release of β-lapachone upon antibody-mediated delivery. Conjugation of protected β-lapachone to Gem-IgG1 antibodies, which contain the variable region of gemtuzumab, results in homogeneous, systemically non-toxic and conditionally stable CD33+-specific antibody-drug conjugates with in vivo efficacy against a xenograft murine model of acute myeloid leukaemia. This protection strategy could allow the use of previously overlooked natural products as anticancer agents, thus extending the range of drugs available for next-generation targeted therapeutics.

description: Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) demonstrate excellent performance in various applications but have high computational complexity. Quantization is applied to reduce the latency and storage cost of CNNs. Among the quantization methods, Binary and Ternary Weight Networks (BWNs and TWNs) have a unique advantage over 8-bit and 4-bit quantization. They replace the multiplication operations in CNNs with additions, which are favoured on In-Memory-Computing (IMC) devices. IMC acceleration for BWNs has been widely studied. However, though TWNs have higher accuracy and better sparsity than BWNs, IMC acceleration for TWNs has limited research. TWNs on existing IMC devices are inefficient because the sparsity is not well utilized, and the addition operation is not efficient. In this paper, we propose FAT as a novel IMC accelerator for TWNs. First, we propose a Sparse Addition Control Unit, which utilizes the sparsity of TWNs to skip the null operations on zero weights. Second, we propose a fast addition scheme based on the memory Sense Amplifier to avoid the time overhead of both carry propagation and writing back the carry to memory cells. Third, we further propose a Combined-Stationary data mapping to reduce the data movement of activations and weights and increase the parallelism across memory columns. Simulation results show that for addition operations at the Sense Amplifier level, FAT achieves 2.00X speedup, 1.22X power efficiency, and 1.22X area efficiency compared with a State-Of-The-Art IMC accelerator ParaPIM. FAT achieves 10.02X speedup and 12.19X energy efficiency compared with ParaPIM on networks with 80% average sparsity.

description: ADDING WEIGHT TO A THINNING LIVE CATTLE MARKET Abstract Many segments of the beef cattle industry have raised concerns that the live cattle negotiated market has become so thin that it no longer reflects underlying beef supply and demand fundamentals. The percentage of live cattle procured through negotiations has declined to about 15% while the percentage procured through formulas has increased to almost 70%. Proposed legislation mandating that a larger percentage of live cattle be procured through negotiations represent a market intervention. We show that live cattle futures market prices could be used as a base in formulas and would be less restrictive in meeting specific cattle procurement percentages.

Leber hereditary optic neuropathy

description: BACKGROUND: Leber Hereditary Optic Neuropathy (LHON) is a rare, maternally-inherited mitochondrial disease that primarily affects retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and their axons in the optic nerve, leading to irreversible, bilateral severe vision loss. Lenadogene nolparvovec gene therapy was developed as a treatment for patients with vision loss from LHON caused by the most prevalent m.11778G > A mitochondrial DNA point mutation in the MT-ND4 gene. Lenadogene nolparvovec is a replication-defective recombinant adeno-associated virus vector 2 serotype 2 (AAV2/2), encoding the human wild-type MT-ND4 protein. Lenadogene nolparvovec was administered by intravitreal injection (IVT) in LHON patients harboring the m.11778G > A ND4 mutation in a clinical development program including one phase 1/2 study (REVEAL), three phase 3 pivotal studies (REVERSE, RESCUE, REFLECT), and one long-term follow-up study (RESTORE, the follow-up of REVERSE and RESCUE patients). CASE PRESENTATION: A 67-year-old woman with MT-ND4 LHON, included in the REVERSE clinical study, received a unilateral IVT of lenadogene nolparvovec in the right eye and a sham injection in the left eye in May 2016, 11.4 months and 8.8 months after vision loss in her right and left eyes, respectively. The patient had a normal brain magnetic resonance imaging with contrast at the time of diagnosis of LHON. Two years after treatment administration, BCVA had improved in both eyes. The product was well tolerated with mild and resolutive anterior chamber inflammation in the treated eye. In May 2019, the patient was diagnosed with a right temporal lobe glioblastoma, IDH-wildtype, World Health Organization grade 4, based on histological analysis of a tumor excision. The brain tumor was assessed for the presence of vector DNA by using a sensitive validated qPCR assay targeting the ND4 sequence of the vector. CONCLUSION: ND4 DNA was not detected (below 15.625 copies/μg of genomic DNA) in DNA extracted from the brain tumor, while a housekeeping gene DNA was detected at high levels. Taken together, this data shows the absence of detection of lenadogene nolparvovec in a brain tumor (glioblastoma) of a treated patient in the REVERSE clinical trial 3 years after gene therapy administration, supporting the long-term favorable safety of lenadogene nolparvovec.

description: A sensitive and selective molecular-imprinted electrochemical sensor was developed for the determination of ampicillin. The molecularly imprinted film was electropolymerized on the surface of a glassy carbon electrode modified with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) using ampicillin as the template molecule and o-phenylendiamine as the functional monomer. Under the optimized conditions, the current change of this electrode showed a linear relationship with the ampicillin concentration from 5.0 × 10−8 mol/L to 1.0 × 10−5 mol/L and a detection limit of 1.0 × 10−9 mol/L. Due to the increased specific surface areas and conductivity of the AuNPs and SWCNTs, this sensor exhibited excellent sensitivity for ampicillin. The recovery values for ampicillin detection in milk using the developed sensor were from 95.0% to 98.1%.

description: Accurate pressure drop estimation in forced boiling phenomena is important during the thermal analysis and the geometric design of cryogenic heat exchangers. However, current methods to predict the pressure drop have one of two problems: lack of accuracy or generalization to different situations. In this work, we present the correlated-informed neural networks (CoINN), a new paradigm in applying the artificial neural network (ANN) technique combined with a successful pressure drop correlation as a mapping tool to predict the pressure drop of zeotropic mixtures in micro-channels. The proposed approach is inspired by Transfer Learning, highly used in deep learning problems with reduced datasets. Our method improves the ANN performance by transferring the knowledge of the Sun & Mishima correlation for the pressure drop to the ANN. The correlation having physical and phenomenological implications for the pressure drop in micro-channels considerably improves the performance and generalization capabilities of the ANN. The final architecture consists of three inputs: the mixture vapor quality, the micro-channel inner diameter, and the available pressure drop correlation. The results show the benefits gained using the correlated-informed approach predicting experimental data used for training and a posterior test with a mean relative error (mre) of 6%, lower than the Sun & Mishima correlation of 13%. Additionally, this approach can be extended to other mixtures and experimental settings, a missing feature in other approaches for mapping correlations using ANNs for heat transfer applications.

description: Combining items from an item pool into test forms (test assembly) is a frequent task in psychological and educational testing. Although efficient methods for automated test assembly exist, these are often unknown or unavailable to practitioners. In this paper we present the R package eatATA, which allows using several mixed-integer programming solvers for automated test assembly in R. We describe the general functionality and the common work flow of eatATA using a minimal example. We also provide four more elaborate use cases of automated test assembly: (a) The assembly of multiple test forms for a pilot study; (b) the assembly of blocks of items for a multiple matrix booklet design in the context of a large-scale assessment; (c) the assembly of two linear test forms for individual diagnostic purposes; (d) the assembly of multi-stage testing modules for individual diagnostic purposes. All use cases are accompanied with example item pools and commented R code.

description: Over the last 25 years, radiowave detection of neutrino-generated signals, using cold polar ice as the neutrino target, has emerged as perhaps the most promising technique for detection of extragalactic ultra-high energy neutrinos (corresponding to neutrino energies in excess of 0.01 Joules, or $10^{17}$ electron volts). During the summer of 2021 and in tandem with the initial deployment of the Radio Neutrino Observatory in Greenland (RNO-G), we conducted radioglaciological measurements at Summit Station, Greenland to refine our understanding of the ice target. We report the result of one such measurement, the radio-frequency electric field attenuation length $L_α$. We find an approximately linear dependence of $L_α$ on frequency with the best fit of the average field attenuation for the upper 1500 m of ice: $\langle L_α\rangle = \big( (1154 \pm 121) - (0.81 \pm 0.14) (ν/$MHz$)\big)$ m for frequencies $ν\in [145 - 350]$ MHz.

description: It is an interesting question whether a given infra-red duality between quantum field theories can be explained in terms of other more elementary dualities. For example recently it has been shown that mirror dualities can be obtained by iterative applications of Seiberg-like dualities. In this paper we continue this line of investigation focusing on theories with tensor matter. In such cases one can apply the idea of deconfinement, which consists of trading the tensor matter for extra gauge nodes by means of a suitable elementary duality. This gives an auxiliary dual frame which can then be manipulated with further dualizations, in an iterative procedure eventually yielding an interesting dual description of the original theory. The sequential deconfinement technique has avatars in different areas of mathematical physics, such as the study of hypergeometric and elliptic hypergeometric integral identities or of $2d$ free field correlators. We discuss various examples in the context $4d$ $\mathcal{N}=1$ supersymmetric theories, which are related to elliptic hypergeometric integrals. These include a new self-duality involving a quiver theory which exhibits a non-trivial global symmetry enhancement to $E_6$.

description: The potentials of avocado pear (Pearsea americana) exocarp for the removal of lead and cadmium ions from solutions were characterized in single metal and binary metal systems. The native Pearsea americana was characterized using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The Pearsea americana exocarp adsorbed 98% of lead at the optimum pH value of 4 and 83% of cadmium at pH 5 in a single system. The optimum contact times for lead and cadmium ions were 30 and 60 minutes, respectively. The biosorption of lead and cadmium ions followed a pseudo second-order kinetic model. The equilibrium measurements were better described by the Langmuir and Freundlich models than the Temkin model. The biosorption processes for lead and cadmium ions onto the Pearsea americana exocarp are spontaneous and exothermic. The binding capacities of lead and cadmium ions were reduced in the presence of interfering ions such as calcium, magnesium and sodium. The study therefore demonstrated that the Pearsea americana exocarp may be used as a biosorbent for the treatment of water contaminated by lead or cadmium.

description: As an analogy to Gopakumar-Vafa conjecture on Calabi-Yau 3-folds, Klemm-Pandharipande defined Gopakumar-Vafa type invariants of a Calabi-Yau 4-fold $X$ using Gromov-Witten theory. When $X$ is holomorphic symplectic, Gromov-Witten invariants vanish and one can consider the corresponding reduced theory. In a companion work, we propose a definition of Gopakumar-Vafa type invariants for such a reduced theory. In this paper, we give them a sheaf theoretic interpretation via moduli spaces of stable pairs.

Subjects: Taiwan

description: Based on the study of leadership in management science, the purpose of this study is to describe the leadership styles of hospital pharmacy directors in Taipei, Taiwan.  The Leader Effectiveness and Adaptability Description (LEAD) instrument was used to characterize the leadership styles of these directors. According to the Situational Leadership Thoery, the dominant and supporting styles, the style range, and the style adaptability of each director can be described. Some background factors in each hospital were collected in order to study the relationship between leadership style and these factors.  The results of this study were based on the responses from 15 participating hospital pharmacy directors and 42 participating pharmacists. The most frequent dominant style used by hospital pharmacy directors in the Taipei area was high task - high relationship. It shows in the results that the female directors tend to be more concerned about the relationship with their subordinates than are the male directors. It also shows that the directors who have a higher educational degree tend to use a leadership style more task-oriented and less people-oriented.  For the directors who are concerned about the effectiveness of their department, this study might serve as an initiative for them to assess their management practice.

description: An efficient semautomated technique has been developed to determine both endocardial and epicardial left ventricular borders using cine MR images. These borders can be used to quantitate cardiac functions such as stroke volume (SVX ejection fraction (EF), and left ventricular mass (LVM). This thesis describes the development of a semiautomated dynamic cardiac analysis that requires minimal operator interaction and allows efficient contour correction.  A study group of five volunteers underwent cine MR scans for evaluation. Two sets of contours were generated from the study group: 1) A complete set for all images using the semiautomated technique (1260 contours), 2) A set of manually traced contours from the selected end-systolic and end-diastolic images (160 contours). The mean-pixel-deviation between the computer-determined and hand-traced contours using all 160 contours was found to be 1.64, which corresponded to 6.7^ volume difference. The time for generating and correcting 12 6 endocardial and 126 epicardial contours was approximately 50 minutes. The experimental results strongly indicate that the semiautomated processing followed by correction can produce clinically acceptable contours.
A Physiological pharmacokinetic model for norethindrone.

Pharmacokinetics

description: Physiological pharmacokinetic models are derived from basic considerations of physiological, anatomical, and pharmacologic principles.  These modes can simultaneously predict drug levels in blood, organs, and tissues.  The prediction by the model depends on the following factors:  dosage, partition coefficient, metabolism rate, excretion rate, protein binding, the rout of administration, and the rate of blood flow through organs and tissues.  These factors were determined for norethindrone in rats and entered into the kinetic model separately so that their effects on the kinetics of norethindrone distribution could be studied.  In rats, norethindrone was found to be eliminated mainly by liver metabolism with a metabolic clearance rate (MCR) of 501 ± 46 ml/hr.  Renal excretion and biliary excretion of norethindrone was extremely small, although metabolites of norethindrone were excreted mainly by these means. Norethindrone is highly bound to tissue components.  Every tissue studies showed that at concentrations in the range of 10[-8]M - 10[-6]M greater than 76% of the norethindrone was bound to macromolecular fractions.  In the following tissues: liver, GI, uterus, and fat, bound norethindrone greater than 92% and the liver nearly 99%.  Progestins are now being administered by the uterine intraluminal route for the purpose of effecting contraception.  Therefore, the pharmacokinetics model was applied to predict norethindrone distribution in the body after the following routes of administration:  i.v. injection, i.v. infusion, peroral intubation, uterine intraluminal perfusion, and uterine intraluminal instillation in order to assess the relative availability of the steroid in uterus and other parts of the body.  Absorption of norethindrone from the luminal cavity of the uterus was very fast.  Instantaneous absorption was observed when a small volume of norethindrone solution was instilled in the luminal cavity.  Absorption of norethindrone from the GI tract, however, is slow, particularly in the presence of food. The bioavailability of norethindrone after peroral administration was relatively low (AUC[po] 11.5% if AUC[iv]).  The concentration of norethindrone in the uterus was much higher after uterine intraluminal administration than other routes of administration studies. However, the levels of norethindrone in other tissue were much lower after uterine intraluminal administration than other routes of administration.  The norethindrone concentrations determined experimentally and that predicted by the kinetic model were compared for each tissue in each route of administration.  Generally the model adequately predicted norethindrone levels in each case.  These experiments showed that the kinetic model and the parameters selected are suitable for the prediction of norethindrone levels in organs and tissues after various routes of administration.

description: Biodegradable and pH sensitive hydrogels containing azoaromatic crosslinks were synthesized by a polymer-polymer reaction.  To minimize cyclization, a three-step synthesis was employed.  First, a polymeric precursor (P-ONp) containing side-chains terminated in reactive p-nitrophenyl ester groups was synthesized by free radical precipitation copolymerization of N, N-dimethylacrylamide, acrylic acid, N-tert-butylacrylamide, and N-methacryloylglycylglycine p-nitrophenyl ester.  In the second step, the p-nitrophenyl ester groups of P-ONp were converted to NH2 groups (P-NH2) by a polymeranalogous reaction with an excess of a diamine, namely N,N'-(?-aminocaproyl)-4,4'-diaminoazobenzene.  The hydrogel was then prepared in the third step by a polymer-polymer reaction of P-ONp with P-NH2.  Hydrogels were characterized by equilibrium degree of swelling, modulus of elasticity in compression of pH 7.4, and detailed network structure (i.e., content of crosslinks, unreacteed pendent groups, and cycles).  The characteristics of hydrogels depended on their crosslinking density.  Cyclization was restricted, and its was shown that it is possible to quantitate the distribution of azobonds in the hydrogel networks synthesized by a polymer-polymer reaction.  These hydrogels have a potential for oral colon-specific protein and peptide delivery.  In vitro degradation of hydrogels synthesized by a polymer-polymer reaction was compared with similar ones prepared by crosslinking of polymeric precursors.  Results indicated that despite the difference in the distribution of side reactions, as a results of using two different synthetic methods, the degradation rates were not significantly different.  The influence of modular geometry of hydrophilic probes on in vitro permeability across rabbit distal colonic epithelia was evaluated using the Ussing chamber technique.  It appears that for the model probes under investigation, the theoretical estimations of the hydrodynamic radii, which assumes the molecules to be spherical in shape, in general provided a good basic for geometry dependence of permeability
