description: In this paper, we present an algebraic approach to the precise and global verification and explanation of Rectifier Neural Networks, a subclass of Piece-wise Linear Neural Networks (PLNNs), i.e., networks that semantically represent piece-wise affine functions. Key to our approach is the symbolic execution of these networks that allows the construction of semantically equivalent Typed Affine Decision Structures (TADS). Due to their deterministic and sequential nature, TADS can, similarly to decision trees, be considered as white-box models and therefore as precise solutions to the model and outcome explanation problem. TADS are linear algebras, which allows one to elegantly compare Rectifier Networks for equivalence or similarity, both with precise diagnostic information in case of failure, and to characterize their classification potential by precisely characterizing the set of inputs that are specifically classified, or the set of inputs where two network-based classifiers differ. All phenomena are illustrated along a detailed discussion of a minimal, illustrative example: the continuous XOR function.

description: Purpose: To describe implant survival at least 1 year after the surgical treatment of early apical peri-implantitis (EAP) and explore potential risk factors of failure of such treatment.

Materials and methods: An ambispective cohort study was conducted, involving all patients in whom EAP was detected and surgically treated between 1996 and 2016. Reporting followed the STROBE guidelines. The time from implant placement (IP) to EAP surgery (EAPS), the diagnostic stage and intraoperative variables (location, apical lesion in the tooth being replaced, mesial and distal tooth-implant distance measured at the apex, periapical surgery of the adjacent tooth, guided bone regeneration, implant resection, explantation) were recorded to determine their impact upon treatment outcome.

Results: The initial sample consisted of 58 implants in 46 patients. The mean time from IP to EAPS was 21.7 ± 10.1 days. At the time of surgery, eight implants presented mobility and were explanted. The final sample consisted of 50 implants in 39 patients evaluated for implant survival after surgical treatment. A cumulative survival rate of 78.3% was recorded. The mean survival time of the EAP treated implants was 85.4 months (standard deviation [SD] 5.94). The diagnostic stage (P < 0.001) and the existence of a previous periapical lesion in the tooth being replaced (P = 0.022) had a significant influence upon implant survival.

Conclusions: The cumulative survival rate was 78.3%, with a mean survival time of 85.4 months. The diagnostic stage of EAP and the presence of a lesion in the tooth being replaced significantly influenced the survival of implants with EAP subjected to surgical treatment.

description: The pitch of tinnitus sound is a key characteristic that is of importance to research and sound therapies relying on exact tinnitus pitch matches. The identification of this tinnitus pitch is a challenging task as there is no objective measurement available. During the tinnitus pitch-matching procedure, the participant identifies an external sound that is most similar to the subjective perception of the tinnitus. Several methods have been developed to perform this pitch-matching procedure with tinnitus sufferers. In this study, we aimed to compare the method of adjustment, the two-alternative forced-choice (2AFC) method, and the likeness rating (LR) with respect to reliability, matching duration, and subjective satisfaction. Fifty-nine participants with chronic tinnitus were recruited and performed five consecutive runs of tinnitus matching. The participants were randomized to the three different pitch-matching methods. The intraclass correlation coefficients were .67 for method of adjustment, .63 for 2AFC, and .69 for LR, which can be interpreted as good reliability for all the three methods. However, the 2AFC method revealed significant larger within-subject variability than the other measures. Across the five runs and the three different methods, all participants learned to perform the pitch matching faster and with better self-rated accuracy. Comparing the three pitch-matching methods, LR is more time consuming and the participants were less satisfied with the 2AFC method. Overall, the three pitch-matching methods show good reliability. However, we identified differential aspects for improvement in all methods, which are discussed in this article.

description: Hepatic ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) is a major complication in liver resection and transplantation. Here, we analyzed the impact of recombinant human augmenter of liver regeneration (rALR), an anti-oxidative and anti-apoptotic protein, on the deleterious process induced by ischemia reperfusion (IR). Application of rALR reduced tissue damage (necrosis), levels of lipid peroxidation (oxidative stress) and expression of anti-oxidative genes in a mouse IRI model. Damage associated molecule pattern (DAMP) and inflammatory cytokines such as HMGB1 and TNF alpha, were not affected by rALR. Furthermore, we evaluated infiltration of inflammatory cells into liver tissue after IRI and found no change in CD3 or gamma delta TCR positive cells, or expression of IL17/IFN gamma by gamma delta TCR cells. The quantity of Gr-1 positive cells (neutrophils), and therefore, myeloperoxidase activity, was lower in rALR-treated mice. Moreover, we found under hypoxic conditions attenuated ROS levels after ALR treatment in RAW264.7 cells and in primary mouse hepatocytes. Application of rALR also led to reduced expression of chemo-attractants like CXCL1, CXCL2 and CCl2 in hepatocytes. In addition, ALR expression was increased in IR mouse livers after 3 h and in biopsies from human liver transplants with minimal signs of tissue damage. Therefore, ALR attenuates IRI through reduced neutrophil tissue infiltration mediated by lower expression of key hepatic chemokines and reduction of ROS generation.

description: TADS are a novel, concise white-box representation of neural networks. In this paper, we apply TADS to the problem of neural network verification, using them to generate either proofs or concise error characterizations for desirable neural network properties. In a case study, we consider the robustness of neural networks to adversarial attacks, i.e., small changes to an input that drastically change a neural networks perception, and show that TADS can be used to provide precise diagnostics on how and where robustness errors a occur. We achieve these results by introducing Precondition Projection, a technique that yields a TADS describing network behavior precisely on a given subset of its input space, and combining it with PCA, a traditional, well-understood dimensionality reduction technique. We show that PCA is easily compatible with TADS. All analyses can be implemented in a straightforward fashion using the rich algebraic properties of TADS, demonstrating the utility of the TADS framework for neural network explainability and verification. While TADS do not yet scale as efficiently as state-of-the-art neural network verifiers, we show that, using PCA-based simplifications, they can still scale to medium-sized problems and yield concise explanations for potential errors that can be used for other purposes such as debugging a network or generating new training samples.

description: Bopyrella Bonnier, 1900
DIAGNOSIS: Female: Body outline elliptical, asymmetrical. Head fused completely or at least medially with first pereomere. Maxilliped with setose palp. Coxal plates very reduced; dorsolateral bosses usually on first four pereomeres. Barbula with two pairs of projections on each side. Brood pouch widely open. All pereomeres fused, segments indicated laterally or dorsally. Four or five biramous flaplike pleopods. Uropods absent.
Male: Head and first pereomere usually fused, juncture indicated by lateral indentations. Pleon much wider than pereon, especially first pleomere. Pleopods and uropods lacking.
TYPE SPECIES: Bopyrella thomsoni Bonnier, 1900, by original designation.
OTHER SPECIES: Bopyrella articulata, n. sp., B. calmani (Richardson, 1905), B. harmopleon Bowman, 1956, B. malensis Bourdon, 1980a, B. moluccensis Bourdon, 1983, B. tanytelson Markham, 1985.
REMARKS: Bonnier (1900) erected this genus for Bopyrella thomsoni infesting Alpheus strenuus Dana, 1852, from “îles des Amis” (= Tonga). Besides the type species, Bonnier (1900) questionably included three other species in Bopyrella: Bopyrus palaemonis Risso, 1816 (nomen dubium), Bopyrina nitescens Giard and Bonnier, 1890 (nomen nudum), and Bopyrus alphei Giard and Bonnier, 1890 (nomen nudum; = Bopyrus alphei Richardson, 1900 = Capitetragonia alphei (Richardson, 1900), n. comb., herein). Bourdon (1980a) reviewed Bopyrella and divided it into three groups according to the degree of fusion of the female pleon. Markham (1985a) concluded that the degree of fusion of the female pleon was important at the generic level and transferred 30 species in Bopy ‐ rella to other genera (e.g., Probopyria [= Capitetragonia], Parabopyrella, Probopyrinella, and Synsynella). He retained only five species in Bopyrella, all parasitizing alpheid hosts: B. thomsoni, B. malensis Bourdon, 1980a, from the Maldives, B. macginitiei Shiino, 1964, from California, B. harmopleon Bowman, 1956, from Venezuela, and B. calmani (Richardson, 1905), from California. Sassaman et al. (1984) regarded B. macginitiei as a synonym of B. calmani. Bourdon (1983) described B. moluccensis as a new species from the Moluccas and Markham (1985b) described B. tanytelson from Thailand. Therefore, the genus Bopyrella currently includes six well-described species (Boyko, 2014) plus the poorly known B. palaemonis. An eighth species is described herein.

description: The prevailing philosophy in oncologic neurosurgery, has shifted from maximally invasive resection to the preservation of neurologic function. The foundation of safe surgery is the multifaceted visualization of the target region and the surrounding eloquent tissue. Recent advancements in pre-operative and intraoperative visualization modalities have changed the face of modern neurosurgery. Metabolic and functional data can be integrated into intraoperative guidance software, and fluorescent dyes under dedicated filters can potentially visualize patterns of blood flow and better define tumor borders or isolated tumor foci. High definition endoscopes enable the depiction of tiny vessels and tumor extension to the ventricles or skull base. Fluorescein sodium-based confocal endomicroscopy, which is under scientific evaluation, may further enhance the neurosurgical armamentarium. We aim to present our institutional workup of combining different neuroimaging modalities for surgical neuro-oncological procedures. This institutional algorithm (IA) was the basis of the recent publication by Haj et al. describing outcome and survival data of consecutive patients with high grade glioma (HGG) before and after the introduction of our Neuro-Oncology Center.

description: Parents play an important role in shaping behavioral and motivational outcomes in their child’s education, presumably even more so during the COVID-19 pandemic, where concomitant school closures forced students worldwide to learn remotely at home, affecting socio-economically disadvantaged students most negatively. However, it remains unclear how different parent-focused family process variables (demanding-structuring and responsive-motivational parental involvement, responsibility for learning) and structure variables (socio-economic status, immigrant background) relate to important learning-related student outcomes, namely extrinsic and intrinsic motivation and actual participation in learning activities, during emergency remote education. Using questionnaire data from N = 117 German secondary school students (Mage = 15.14, SD = 0.93; 49.6% female) with a low average socio-economic status, structural equation models revealed associations between higher parental involvement and responsibility and higher motivational and behavioral student outcomes. Furthermore, immigrant background related negatively to some parent process variables, and indirectly negatively to extrinsic motivation. These results highlight parents’ role in learning, particularly during emergency remote education.

description: Vibrant neighborhoods play a pivotal role in the human well-being and social cohesion. However, existing research amalgamates vitality discussions of varied functions, failing to offer nuanced insights for specific neighborhood planning. Another gap emerges from the lack of research focusing on cultivating neighborhood vibrancy based on bottom-up spatial perceptions at the eye-level. Therefore, our study delves into the spatial and temporal disparities in vitality between formal neighborhoods and urban villages. Both real and virtual indicators are employed to measure the physical and digital vitality of neighborhoods. We incorporate eye-level perceptions as a new explanatory variable based on the physical environment. Our findings suggest that real vitality exhibits a modest morning and evening peak on weekends, while virtual vitality continually increases and peaks at night. In addition to enhancing green and enclosed neighborhood environments, improving public transportation options that replace reliance on motorized travel could facilitate formal neighborhood vitality. Regarding urban villages, clear rights-of-way can boost commuting efficiency, spatial accessibility and road safety, while the provision of ample public facilities and public spaces fosters the creation of “15-minute living circles.” The differentiated planning recommendations could offer valuable insights to promote livable neighborhoods and ultimately help to improve human well-being.

description: In the current review, we provide a summary of the recent progress made in the cosmological aspect of extra-dimensional Lovelock gravity. Our review covers a wide variety of particular model/matter source combinations: Einstein--Gauss--Bonnet as well as cubic Lovelock gravities with vacuum, cosmological constant, perfect fluid, spatial curvature, and some of their combinations. Our analysis suggests that it is possible to set constraints on the parameters of the above-mentioned models from the simple requirement of the existence of a smooth transition from the initial singularity to a realistic low-energy regime. Initially, anisotropic space naturally evolves into a configuration with two isotropic subspaces, and if one of these subspaces is three-dimensional and is expanding while another is contracting, we call it realistic compactification. Of course, the process is not devoid of obstacles, and in our paper, we review the results of the compactification occurrence investigation for the above-mentioned models. In particular, for vacuum and $Λ$-term EGB models, compactification is not suppressed (but is not the only possible outcome either) if the number of extra dimensions is $D \geqslant 2$; for vacuum cubic Lovelock gravities it is always present (however, cubic Lovelock gravity is defined only for $D \geqslant 3$ number of extra dimensions); for the EGB model with perfect fluid it is present for $D=2$ (we have not considered this model in higher dimensions yet), and in the presence of spatial curvature, the realistic stabilization of extra dimensions is always present (however, such a model is well-defined only in $D \geqslant 4$ number of extra dimensions).

description: The current approach to systemic therapy for metastatic cancer is aimed predominantly at inducing apoptosis of cancer cells by blocking tumor-promoting signaling pathways or by eradicating cell compartments within the tumor. In contrast, a systems view of therapy primarily considers the communication protocols that exist at multiple levels within the tumor complex, and the role of key regulators of such systems. Such regulators may have far-reaching influence on tumor response to therapy and therefore patient survival. This implies that neoplasia may be considered as a cell non-autonomous disease. The multi-scale activity ranges from intra-tumor cell compartments, to the tumor, to the tumor-harboring organ to the organism. In contrast to molecularly targeted therapies, a systems approach that identifies the complex communications networks driving tumor growth offers the prospect of disrupting or “normalizing” such aberrant communicative behaviors and therefore attenuating tumor growth. Communicative reprogramming, a treatment strategy referred to as anakoinosis, requires novel therapeutic instruments, so-called master modifiers to deliver concerted tumor growth-attenuating action. The diversity of biological outcomes following pro-anakoinotic tumor therapy, such as differentiation, trans-differentiation, control of tumor-associated inflammation, etc. demonstrates that long-term tumor control may occur in multiple forms, inducing even continuous complete remission. Accordingly, pro-anakoinotic therapies dramatically extend the repertoire for achieving tumor control and may activate apoptosis pathways for controlling resistant metastatic tumor disease and hematologic neoplasia.

description: Background Cardiac output is a prognostic marker in patients with pulmonary hypertension. Pulmonary blood flow as a surrogate for cardiac output can be measured non-invasively by inert gas rebreathing. We hypothesized that pulmonary blood flow can predict outcome in patients with pulmonary hypertension. Methods From January 2009 to January 2012, we measured pulmonary blood flow by inert gas rebreathing in outpatients with pulmonary hypertension. Patients with pulmonary hypertension confirmed by right heart catheterization and a valid inert gas rebreathing maneuver were followed until January 2016. The investigated outcome was all-cause mortality. Results We included 259 patients (mean age 65 +/- 13 years, 53% female) with pulmonary hypertension and classified into groups 1 (n = 103), 2 (n = 26), 3 (n = 80), and 4 (n = 50) according to the current pulmonary hypertension classification system. The median time between pulmonary hypertension diagnosis and inert gas rebreathing was 9 (IQR 0; 36) months. During a median follow-up time of 51 (IQR 20; 68) months, 109 patients (42%) died. Parameters significantly associated with survival (in order of decreasing statistical strength) were diffusion capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO), 6-minute walk distance (6-MWD), age, NTpro-BNP, WHO functional class, group 3 pulmonary hypertension, and tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE), while baseline hemodynamics and pulmonary blood flow were not. In multivariable Cox regression analysis, DLCO, age, 6-MWD, and TAPSE remained significant and independent predictors of the outcome. DLCO as the strongest parameter also significantly predicted survival in aetiological subgroups except for group 4. Conclusions DLCO is a strong and independent predictor for survival in patients with pulmonary hypertension of different aetiologies, while pulmonary blood flow measured by inert gas rebreathing is not.

description: Many natural products are generated by polyketide and non-ribosomal peptide synthases (PKS and NRPS), which necessitates active acyl and peptide carry domains (ACP and PCP). This activation was enabled by the generation of two Saccharomyces cerevisiae CEN.PK2-1C variants (ST003 and ST004) harboring and functionally expressing a phosphopantetheinyl transferase (PPtase) SFPpBs from Bacillus subtilis. These strains serve as a foundation for further metabolic engineering approaches to enhance precursor provision. The glycolysis and malonyl-CoA pathway were successfully modified, leading to improved flux towards malonyl-CoA, as confirmed by a 3-hydroxypropionic acid (3-HP) detection method and subsequent NMR confirmation. Next, to implement the genes acc^1S659A,S686A,S1157A, ald6, pdc1, and acsSe^L641P for overexpression, the generated 3-HP titers were further improved by deleting adh1 and implementing tpi1. Despite the encountered obstacles, the study successfully demonstrates the elevation of malonyl-CoA levels in yeast, yielding 3-HP titers of up to 249.66 mg L-1 in batch cultivations. Using the initially generated PPtase strains as a basis, the genes for ARO4p^K229L, ARO7p^G141S, and AroLpEc, were integrated while simultaneously deleting aro10 and pdc5. Making use of the tyrosine ammonia-lyase (TALpHa) enzyme from Herpetosiphon aurantiacus to generate p-coumaric acid (p-CA), the successful generated yeast strains demonstrated a modified shikimate pathway with elevated phenylalanine and tyrosine levels. Results revealed varying p-CA concentrations in different yeast strains, with ST004-based strains consistently outperforming ST003-based strains, resulting in p-CA concentration of up to 130.60 mg L-1 in batch cultivation. This highlighted, although successful, a notable discrepancy between the reported literature and this work, emphasizing the significant impact of cultivation conditions on yields for both pathways, as supported by existing literature. Finally, malonyl-CoA pathway and shikimate pathway modifications were implemented in a single yeast strain (ST027), exhibiting initial 3-HP production with eventual p-CA production at slightly higher levels than compared to solely shikimate pathway-modified strain (ST008). This suggests a potential synergistic effect between both pathways, supporting increased tyrosine production. The present thesis resulted in the optimized strains with the necessity for cultivation optimization attempts, ultimately further increasing production titers of compounds harnessing precursors from both pathways, as for instance, cryptophycins, resveratrol, or maybe aromatic phytocanabinoids.

description: Previous studies have shown that personality traits are related to tinnitus distress as measured by the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI) and the Tinnitus Questionnaire (TQ). However, little is known about the role of personality on tinnitus distress overtime. We collected the THI and the TQ of 388 patients who visited a tertiary tinnitus clinic between 2012 and 2017, and who filled in a survey with the same questionnaires plus the Big Five Index 2 in 2018. We used personality traits and facets to predict tinnitus distress cross-sectionally and longitudinally. Neuroticism, extraversion, agreeableness, age and gender were significant predictors of the THI and TQ scores in cross-sectional linear regression setups. Next, based on previous literature, we clustered patients in three groups based in the difference THI and TQ between the two assessments: "clinically improved", "clinically stable" and "clinically worsened". The patients in the "clinically improved" and "clinically stable" groups scored statistically significantly lower in neuroticism and higher in extraversion than patients in the group "clinically worsened". Our results suggest that personality is associated with tinnitus distress over time and could be used to statistically distinguish patient groups with clinically relevant changes of tinnitus distress.

Selective introduction of nitrogen into bulk chemicals via homogeneously catalyzed reactions

description: Nitrogen-containing chemical compounds are used everywhere in our day-to-day lives, from high-performance polymers to pharmaceuticals and crop protection. Despite being produced on very large scale, many of their production lines lack efficiency and have a significant impact on the environment. Amides are often synthesized by highly activated coupling agents with an inherently low E-factor. Therefore, developing a catalytic reaction that can produce amides directly from bulk chemicals is highly desired. Primary amines are essential intermediates in the chemical industry, and their selective synthesis is challenging due to their reactive properties. Although they are also produced from bulk feedstock, they require many steps when a renewable substrate is used. This dissertation addresses these challenges by developing and optimizing homogeneous transition metal catalysts. The work is structured into three main parts, each addressing different types of reactions to introduce nitrogen into bulk chemicals: 1. Carbonylative telomerization is a complex chemical reaction that synthesizes amides from simple feedstock molecules, but its high catalyst loading presents a challenge, as well as a limited scope. Both were addressed by optimizing the reaction conditions and adding new dienes and nucleophiles to the reaction portfolio of carbonylative telomerization. 2. Converting fatty esters directly into amines in a one-pot reaction is sought to streamline chemical production, requiring the development of a new catalyst to facilitate the process and improve resource and energy efficiency. Therefore, modified triphos ligands were synthesized and combined with ester amination. 3. The conversion of aldoximes into primary amines, offers a possible alternative to the highly desired hydroamination of alkenes. This is achieved through the combination with hydroformylation, which enables the conversion of alkenes into primary. These contributions offer new efficient ways of introducing nitrogen into bulk feedstock to synthesize more complex amides and primary amines through homogeneous transition metal catalysts.

Microtus (Microtus) anatolicus Kryštufek and Kefelioğlu 2002, Bonn. Zool. Beitr., Vol. 50: 8.
Type Locality: Turkey, Konya, Cihanbeyli, Yapali köyü.
Vernacular Names: Anatolian Vole.
Distribution: Known only from the type locality and vicinity.
Discussion: Subgenus Microtus, socialis species group. When Kefelioğlu and Kryštufek (1999) first identified this 2n = 60 population, they refrained from designating it a new species until the characterization of M. irani was improved; such was later accomplished by Kryštufek and Kefelioğlu (2002), who described significant morphological traits that distinguish it from their new species, M. anatolicus (no chromosomal data are available for M. irani from its type locality). Microtus anatolicus is chromosomally close to Turkish samples of M. socialis (2n = 62, FN = 60), but Kryštufek and Kefelioğlu (2002) claimed that "categorical cranial differences provide strong evidence against restricting the new species to a merely Robertsonian population of M. socialis.".
