description: Some post-licensure studies have shown a potential increased risk of intussusception following vaccination with rotavirus vaccines. This is the first study that aimed to assess the incidence and risk of intussusception within 90 days after vaccination with RotaTeq in Chinese infants. A population-based birth cohort from November 27th 2018 to June 30th 2021 included all newborns in Ningbo city. The records of intussusception were identified through the ICD-10 code K56.1 or Chinese keywords “Chang Tao” from all hospital discharge records. Each episode was confirmed in line with the Brighton criteria, and only Brighton level 1 cases were included. The association of RotaTeq vaccination and intussusception was evaluated using the Poisson regression. A total of 108,405 eligible subjects from birth cohort were eligible, with 52.30% males. Among them, 26, 847 (24.77%) infants received at least one dose of RotaTeq, and 95.52% of them were fully vaccinated, with 76, 934 doses in total. After adjudication, none of the cases occurred post first, or second dose, the cumulative number of cases that occurred 1-7, 1-14, 1-21, 1-42, and 1-90 days post third dose was 0, 1, 1, 3 and 7, respectively. Adjusting for age, sex, birth year, birth season and location, the incidence rate ratio (IRR) of intussusception after RotaTeq vaccination was 0.90 (90% two-sided CI: 0.46, 1.75). Increasing age and male gender were associated with higher risk of intussusception. In summary, no increased risk of IS was observed following 3 months of RotaTeq vaccination in this study.

description: We prove that sectional-hyperbolic attracting sets for $C^1$ vector fields are robustly expansive (under an open technical condition of strong dissipative for higher codimensional cases). This extends known results of expansiveness for singular-hyperbolic attractors in $3$-flows even in this low dimensional setting. We deduce some converse results taking advantage of recent progress in the study of star vector fields: a robustly transitive attractor is sectional-hyperbolic if, and only if, it is robustly expansive. In a low dimensional setting, we show that an attracting set of a $3$-flow is singular-hyperbolic if, and only if, it is robustly chaotic (robustly sensitive to initial conditions).

description: Let $Γ_+$ be a normal subgroup of index $2n$ of a group $Γ$ and $γ_i \in Γ\setminus Γ_+$ be involutions. We first prove that if $Γ= Γ_+ \rtimes (\mathbb{Z}_2(γ_1) \times \cdots \times \mathbb{Z}_2(γ_n))$ then $Γ= (Γ_+ \rtimes \mathbb{Z}_2(γ_1) \rtimes \cdots \rtimes \mathbb{Z}_2(γ_{i-1})) \rtimes (\mathbb{Z}_2(γ_{i}) \times \cdots \times \mathbb{Z}_2(γ_n))$, where $i=2,\cdots,n$. Second, we use this result to prove the well-known Fubini theorem for a subgroup of index $2n$ of a compact Lie group. Finally, we present an application to invariant theory.

description: Understanding and adequately protecting habitat is at the forefront of modern conservation concerns. Turtles are especially vulnerable to habitat loss, and are therefore a top priority for habitat research. To help meet this need, I used radio telemetry to collect microhabitat data from two imperiled species of turtles that occupy a military base in Michigan. Preliminary data exploration was carried out with principal components analysis (PCA). Microhabitat use was then modeled for each species using conditional logistic regression (CLR), with a generalized estimating equation (GEE) element to limit bias due to individual variation. Finally, I compared habitat use between sympatric Blanding’s and Wood Turtles using Mann-Whitney U tests and Mood’s median tests to investigate the degree of overlap in microhabitat use when these species occur in sympatry. Evidence for microhabitat selection in Blanding’s Turtles was weak, suggesting that they likely do not make habitat decisions at this level. Wood Turtles selected sites that were farther from water and had fewer trees, less overstory canopy cover, and more ground cover. Additionally, the two species differed in several aspects of microhabitat use; Wood Turtles were more terrestrial and more tolerant of tree cover than Blanding’s Turtles. Patterns of microhabitat use found in this study match previously observed behavior of turtles in high quality habitat, suggesting that managers should work to maintain the habitat currently available at Camp Grayling. Additionally, because both turtle species were associated with open canopy, selective logging could benefit turtles provided care is given to timing and methods.

description: The Lovász Local Lemma (LLL) is a powerful tool in probabilistic combinatorics which can be used to establish the existence of objects that satisfy certain properties. The breakthrough paper of Moser and Tardos and follow-up works revealed that the LLL has intimate connections with a class of stochastic local search algorithms for finding such desirable objects. In particular, it can be seen as a sufficient condition for this type of algorithms to converge fast.
 Besides conditions for existence of and fast convergence to desirable objects, one may naturally ask further questions regarding properties of these algorithms. For instance, "are they parallelizable?", "how many solutions can they output?", "what is the expected "weight" of a solution?", etc. These questions and more have been answered for a class of LLL-inspired algorithms called commutative. In this paper we introduce a new, very natural and more general notion of commutativity (essentially matrix commutativity) which allows us to show a number of new refined properties of LLL-inspired local search algorithms with significantly simpler proofs.

Distribution Power System Resiliency in DER-Rich Environment
Creators: name: Jia, Linli
Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2026

description: Over the last decades, serious climate change has caused significantly increase in frequency and severity of extreme weather events, causing devastating impacts on people's lives and livelihoods, also unprecedented challenges to power system, especially islands or remote communities. Besides power supply reliability, power system resiliency is getting more and more important under this background. To prevent further climate change deterioration, an urgent energy system transition from fossil fuel to renewable energy is happening worldwide swiftly. With a substantially increase of distribution energy resources (DERs), energy coordination or energy management could play an important role in increasing power system resiliency. Motivated by the remarkable role DERs could play in energy transition and improving distribution power system resiliency, my research has mainly focused on following topics :Firstly, with a collective effort from former researchers, a complete set of resilience metrics is proposed for intuitively monitoring distribution power system resilience status and providing decision support in operation and planning. Secondly, a proactive energy resource coordination strategy is proposed for the economic and resilient operation of an islanded hydro-diesel-battery microgrid. Further, device failure uncertainty caused by extreme weather events is considered, and thus an uncertainty-involved microgrid energy management strategy is proposed. Additionally, a microgrid BESS sizing model is proposed to meet isolated operation duration requirements, an increasingly important concern of microgrids as extreme weather events getting more severe and frequent. Finally, a two-stage restoration strategy with the assistance of ESAT (Enhanced Situational Awareness Tool) is proposed.

Food packaging, preservation and processing

description: Thermal processing is a critical step in shelf-stable food manufacturing to the ensure safety of the food products. To accurately model and establish the thermal processes, temperature-dependent thermal properties are needed. Existing methods for measuring the temperature-dependent thermal diffusivity (α), thermal conductivity (k) and volumetric heat capacity (C) are time consuming, tend to have high errors, and cannot provide results in a single experiment, especially at temperatures above 100°C. A novel bench scale device, named Thermal Properties Cell (TPCell), was custom made to rapidly estimate the temperature-dependent thermal parameters of food products. The TPCell used thin film heaters as the heating elements. The first study focused on estimating the thermal properties of a thin film heater. Using mathematical modeling and sequential parameter estimation, the effective thermal diffusivity of the thin film heater was found at different temperatures. The estimated thermal properties of the thin film heater were used for the second study. The objective of the second study was to design optimal complementary experiments using TPCell. Complementary experiments are a combination of experiments that enable estimation of multiple thermal parameters from the experimental temperature data, based on sensitivity analysis. Sensitivity coefficients indicate the extent of change in a measured variable due to a change in value of an input parameter. Designs of experiments were simulated and their impact on sensitivity and optimality criteria was analyzed. Results from the simulated profiles were validated using sweet potato puree. Learnings from this work can be directly applied for the optimization of all types of food thermal processes, including retort and aseptic processing. Optimally designed processes increase preservation of the heat labile nutrients, color, flavor, and taste compounds, thereby enhancing the quality of food products.

description: Recent reports documenting sporadic infections in carnivorous mammals worldwide with highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (HPAIV) H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b have raised concerns about the potential risk of adaptation to sustained transmission in mammals, including humans. We report H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b infection of two grey seals (Halichoerus grypus) from coastal waters of The Netherlands and Germany in December 2022 and February 2023, respectively. Histological and immunohistochemical investigations showed in both animals a non-suppurative and necrotising encephalitis with viral antigen restricted to the neuroparenchyma. Whole genome sequencing showed the presence of HPAIV H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b strains in brain tissue, which were closely related to sympatric avian influenza viruses. Viral RNA was also detected in the lung of the seal from Germany by real-time quantitative PCR. No other organs tested positive. The mammalian adaptation PB2-E627K mutation was identified in approximately 40% of the virus population present in the brain tissue of the German seal. Retrospective screening for nucleoprotein-specific antibodies, of sera collected from 251 seals sampled in this region from 2020 to 2023, did not show evidence of influenza A virus-specific antibodies. Similarly, screening by reverse transcription PCR of tissues of 101 seals that had died along the Dutch coast in the period 2020–2021, did not show evidence of influenza virus infection. Collectively, these results indicate that individual seals are sporadically infected with HPAIV-H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b, resulting in an encephalitis in the absence of a systemic infection, and with no evidence thus far of onward spread between seals.

description: In this article we give upper and lower bounds for the integrated density of states (IDS) of the 1D discrete Anderson-Bernoulli model when the disorder is strong enough to separate the two spectral bands. These bounds are uniform on the disorder and hold over the whole spectrum. They show the existence of a sequence of energies in which the value of the IDS can be given explicitly and does not depend on the disorder parameter.

Noise Variance Estimation Using Asymptotic Residual in Compressed Sensing

description: In compressed sensing, measurements are typically contaminated by additive noise, and therefore, information about the noise variance is often needed to design algorithms. In this paper, we propose a method for estimating the unknown noise variance in compressed sensing problems. The proposed method, called asymptotic residual matching (ARM), estimates the noise variance from a single measurement vector on the basis of the asymptotic result for the $\ell_{1}$ optimization problem. Specifically, we derive the asymptotic residual corresponding to the $\ell_{1}$ optimization and show that it depends on the noise variance. The proposed ARM approach obtains the estimate by comparing the asymptotic residual with the actual one, which can be obtained by empirical reconstruction without the information on the noise variance. For the proposed ARM, we also propose a method to choose a reasonable parameter based on the asymptotic residual. Simulation results show that the proposed noise variance estimation outperforms several conventional methods, especially when the problem size is small. We also show that, by using the proposed method, we can tune the regularization parameter of the $\ell_{1}$ optimization to achieve good reconstruction performance, even when the noise variance is unknown.

Aquaculture and fisheries stock assessment

description: With the increasing global population, providing sufficient food to meet the rising demand has become a great challenge to food-producing sectors. Aquaculture is one of the food sources which produces varieties of seafood. Shrimp is the most popular seafood in the US, and its production plays an important role in the aquaculture industry. However, shrimp farming causes various types of pollution to damage the environment and aquatic biodiversity, the associated impacts must be mitigated to ensure the sustainability of shrimp production. This study performed a life cycle assessment (LCA) on different shrimp production chains from cradle to the market in Midwestern US covering three farming systems and eight shrimp feed formulas. Midpoint environmental impacts including acidification potential (AP), eutrophication potential (EP) and global warming potential (GWP) were determined. Feed production was identified as the main contributor to the AP and GWP for both the intensive and semi-intensive production systems (SPS), regardless of the feed formula. While the environmental performance of feed production highly depended on the feed conversion ratio, feed ingredient was another determining factor in which animal protein sources, including poultry by-product meal and fishmeal, showed high contributions to the AP and GWP. However, plant proteins such as soybean, wheat, and corn gluten meals produced higher EP, therefore, substituting plant-based ingredients for animal-based ones in shrimp feeds did not all result in positive environmental consequences. Shrimp farming was the hotspot of all the three impacts, especially accounting for the highest EP. Among the three farming systems studied here, the SPS caused the highest environmental burdens due to the intensive uses of chemicals and fertilizers. On the contrary, the extensive farming was found to be the most sustainable system because no inputs of feeding and additional materials and energy are required for its operation. The LCA model developed in this study is expected to serve as US shrimp farmers’ decision-making guidelines to adapt farming practices with lower environmental footprint.

description: Word embeddings are utilized in various natural language processing tasks. Although effective in helping computers learn linguistic patterns employed in natural language, word embeddings also tend to learn unwanted word associations. This affects the performance of NLP tasks, as unwanted word associations propagate and amplify biases. Current word association evaluation methods for word embeddings do not account for changes in word embedding models and training corpora, when creating the rubric for word association evaluation. Current literature also lacks a consistent training and evaluation protocol for comparison of word associations across varying word embedding models and varying training corpora. In order to address this gap in prior literature, this research aims to evaluate different types of word associations, not limited to gender, racial or religious attributes, incorporating and evaluating the diachronic and variable nature of words over text data collected over a period of 200 years. This thesis introduces a framework to track changes in word associations between neutral words (proper nouns) and attributes (adjectives), across different word embedding models, over a temporal dimension, by evaluating clustering tendencies between neutral words (proper nouns) and attributive words (adjectives) over five different word embedding frameworks: Word2vec (CBOW), Word2vec (Skip-gram), GloVe, fastText (CBOW) and fastText (Skip-gram) and 20 decades of text data from 1810s to 2000s. Finally, various cluster level and corpus level measurements will be compared across aforementioned word embedding frameworks, to find how word associations evolve with changes in the embedding model and the training corpus.

description: In October 2020, a new lineage of clade 2.3.4.4b HPAI virus of the H5 subtype emerged in Europe, resulting in the largest global outbreak of HPAI to date, with unprecedented mortality in wild birds and poultry. The virus appears to have become enzootic in birds, continuously yielding novel HPAI virus variants. The recently increased abundance of infected birds worldwide increases the probability of bird-mammal contact, particularly in wild carnivores. Here, we performed molecular and serological screening of over 500 dead wild carnivores for H5 HPAI virus infection and sequencing of positive materials. We show virological evidence for HPAI H5 virus infection in 0.8%, 1.4% and 9.9% of animals tested in 2020, 2021 and 2022 respectively, with the highest proportion of positives in foxes, polecats and stone martens. We obtained near full genome sequences for seven viruses and detected PB2 amino acid substitutions known to play a role in mammalian adaptation in three of these. Infections were also found in animals without associated neurological signs or mortality. Serological evidence for infection was detected in 20% of the study population. These findings suggest that a higher number of wild carnivores are infected but undetected in current surveillance programs. We recommend increased surveillance in susceptible mammals, irrespective of the presence of neurological signs or encephalitis.

description: A key question in many low-rank problems throughout optimization, machine learning, and statistics is to characterize the convex hulls of simple low-rank sets and judiciously apply these convex hulls to obtain strong yet computationally tractable convex relaxations. We invoke the matrix perspective function - the matrix analog of the perspective function - and characterize explicitly the convex hull of epigraphs of simple matrix convex functions under low-rank constraints. Further, we combine the matrix perspective function with orthogonal projection matrices-the matrix analog of binary variables which capture the row-space of a matrix-to develop a matrix perspective reformulation technique that reliably obtains strong relaxations for a variety of low-rank problems, including reduced rank regression, non-negative matrix factorization, and factor analysis. Moreover, we establish that these relaxations can be modeled via semidefinite constraints and thus optimized over tractably. The proposed approach parallels and generalizes the perspective reformulation technique in mixed-integer optimization and leads to new relaxations for a broad class of problems.

description: Experimental wave generation in channels is usually achieved through wavemakers (moving paddles) acting on the surface of the water. Although practical for engineering purposes, wavemakers have issues: they perform poorly in the generation of long waves and create evanescent waves in their vicinity. In this article, we introduce a framework for wave generation through the action of an underwater multipoint mechanism: the pedal-wavemaking method. Our multipoint action makes each point of the bottom move with a prescribed pedalling-like motion. We analyse the linear response of waves in a uniform channel in terms of the wavelength of the bottom action. The framework naturally solves the problem of the performance for long waves and replaces evanescent waves by thin boundary layer at the bottom of the channel. We also show that a proper synchronisation of orbital motion on the bottom can produce waves that mimic deep water waves. This last feature has been proved to be useful to study fluid-structure interaction in simulations based on smoothed particle hydrodynamics.

description: Currently, West-Nile virus (WNV) is spreading worldwide to colder regions due to climate change. Human mortality and morbidity are prevalent and steadily increasing, associated with costs to public health systems. Therefore, the question of the impact of scientific engagement arises. What trends, barriers, and incentives for research related to global burdens are important in this context? To answer these questions, this study provides detailed insights into the publication patterns of WNV research and interprets them using several parameters, such as absolute and relative publication indices and socioeconomic and epidemiological characteristics. It is shown that national interests combined with regional outbreaks significantly influence publication intensity. Thus, a correlation between national publication volume and the number of WNV cases was observed. In contrast to most life science topics, the scientific interest in WNV significantly decreased after 2006. The USA, as the main actor in WNV research, is at the centre of international networking. Recently, European countries are also getting involved according to their new-emerging outbreaks. The results demonstrate national interest in research activities with a lack of globally focused approaches that are urgently needed to better understand and assess the distribution and characteristics of WNV. HighlightsThere is a correlation between national WNV cases and the number of publications.The declining trend in WNV research does not correspond to the growing prevalence.USA as most-publishing country is also at the centre of networking WNV research.France is the primary network partner for African and Middle Eastern countries.

description: Environmental DNA (eDNA) is being used increasingly for biomonitoring of communities (e.g., microbes, macroinvertebrates, fish species) across terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Developing methods that combine eDNA approaches with metagenomic barcoded amplicon sequencing (eDNA-metabarcoding) are now providing a powerful noninvasive and cost-effective means for comprehensively surveying biodiversity in a wide range of habitats. Invasive species have a substantial impact on the ecology and economics of the Great Lakes region, and eDNAmetabarcoding methods have recently been applied in monitoring non-native, as well as native, fish populations in the freshwater systems there. In this research, we validated an eDNAmetabarcoding approach that uses established platforms, the MiFish/MitoFish pipeline, for fish community monitoring on Lake Michigan. For validation, we compared survey results from our eDNA-metabarcoding approach to those obtained using traditional surveys (e.g., electrofishing and seining). We also sampled a closed 180,000-gallon freshwater fish tank system to see how well our methods characterized a known native fish population that resided in the tank. Finally, we applied the approach to monitoring invasive and native fish populations in southern Lake Michigan at a site that is currently undergoing restoration to improve the aquatic habitats.. We were able to reliably capture the fish community structure of the native fish tank as well as those of open waters on the lake using our methods. Diversity patterns detected at the restoration site using our eDNA-metabarcoding approach accurately reflected those of the historical record, which have taken many years to establish by conventional means. Overall, this study suggests eDNAmetabarcoding is an efficient, credible, and powerful approach to biomonitoring.

description: Recent reports documenting sporadic infections in carnivorous mammals worldwide with highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (HPAIV) H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b have raised concerns about the potential risk of adaptation to sustained transmission in mammals, including humans. We report H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b infection of two grey seals (Halichoerus grypus) from coastal waters of The Netherlands and Germany in December 2022 and February 2023, respectively. Histological and immunohistochemical investigations showed in both animals a non-suppurative and necrotizing encephalitis with viral antigen restricted to the neuroparenchyma. Whole genome sequencing showed the presence of HPAIV H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b strains in brain tissue, which were closely related to sympatric avian influenza viruses. Viral RNA was also detected in the lung of the seal from Germany by real-time quantitative PCR. No other organs tested positive. The mammalian adaptation PB2-E627K mutation was identified in approximately 40% of the virus population present in the brain tissue of the German seal. Retrospective screening for nucleoprotein specific antibodies, of sera collected from 251 seals sampled in this region from 2020 to 2023, did not show evidence of influenza A virus specific antibodies. Similarly, screening by reverse transcription PCR of lung and brain tissue of 101 seals that had died along the Dutch coast in the period 2020-2021, did not show evidence of influenza virus infection. Collectively, these results indicate that individual seals are sporadically infected with HPAIV-H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b, resulting in an encephalitis in the absence of a systemic infection, and with no evidence thus far of onward spread between seals.

description: Gender bias in sports in Nigerian secondary schools remains a significant challenge, perpetuating gender stereotypes and hindering girls’ access to sports. Despite the recognized benefits of sports for physical, social, and mental development, girls face numerous barriers rooted in societal norms, cultural beliefs, and institutional practices in participating in sports. Therefore, this study explores the contributing factors to this problem, and identify strategies to promote greater gender equity and access to sports opportunities for girls. Through interviews with selected secondary school teachers, firsthand insights into the issues of gender bias in sports within Nigerian secondary schools were obtained. The qualitative data obtained offers valuable insights into the lived experiences of educators regarding gender bias in sports. The findings highlight significant gender disparities in sports participation within Nigerian secondary schools, which is characterized by unequal resource allocation, favoring male sports activities. These disparities perpetuate gender stereotypes and hinder the participation of female students in sports. Additionally, this study shows that psychological effects, influenced by gender bias, negatively impact female students’ self-esteem and willingness to participate in sports. Moreover, teacher attitudes, stereotypes, and resource inequalities further contribute to gender inequities in sports. This study also showed that traditional gender roles and religious beliefs impose additional barriers to female students sports participation.
description: This study emphasizes the urgent need for comprehensive interventions to tackle cultural barriers and foster gender equity in sports. These interventions include awareness campaigns, teacher training, and equitable resource allocation. Policy development and implementation are critical for fostering gender equity in sports, necessitating government intervention and proactive measures within schools. Awareness-raising and community engagement were identified as crucial strategies for challenging these norms and advocating for policy reforms and cultural shifts.
