description: In recent decades, climate change has significantly affected glacier dynamics, resulting in mass loss and an increased risk of glacier-related hazards including supraglacial and proglacial lake development, as well as catastrophic outburst flooding. Rapidly changing conditions dictate the need for continuous and detailed observations and analysis of climate-glacier dynamics. Thematic and quantitative information regarding glacier geometry is fundamental for understanding climate forcing and the sensitivity of glaciers to climate change, however, accurately mapping debris-cover glaciers (DCGs) is notoriously difficult based upon the use of spectral information and conventional machine-learning techniques. The objective of this research is to improve upon an earlier proposed deep-learning-based approach, GlacierNet, which was developed to exploit a convolutional neural-network segmentation model to accurately outline regional DCG ablation zones. Specifically, we developed an enhanced GlacierNet2 architecture thatincorporates multiple models, automatic post-processing, and basin-level hydrological flow techniques to improve the mapping of DCGs such that it includes both the ablation and accumulation zones. Experimental evaluations demonstrate that GlacierNet2 improves the estimation of the ablation zone and allows a high level of intersection over union (IOU: 0.8839) score. The proposed architecture provides complete glacier (both accumulation and ablation zone) outlines at regional scales, with an overall IOU score of 0.8619. This is a crucial first step in automating complete glacier mapping that can be used for accurate glacier modeling or mass-balance analysis.

description: We present the $z\!\approx\!6$ type-1 quasar luminosity function (QLF) based on the Pan-STARRS1 (PS1) quasar survey. The PS1 sample includes 125 quasars at $z\approx5.7-6.2$ with $-28\lesssim M_{1450}\lesssim-25$. Complemented by 48 fainter quasars from the SHELLQs survey, we evaluate the $z\approx6$ QLF over $-28\lesssim M_{1450}\lesssim-22$. Adopting a double power law with an exponential evolution of the quasar density ($Φ(z)\propto10^{k(z-6)}$; $k=-0.7$), we use a maximum likelihood method to model our data. We find a break magnitude of $M^*=-26.38_{-0.60}^{+0.79}\,\text{mag}$, a faint end slope of $α=-1.70_{-0.19}^{+0.29}$, and a steep bright end slope with $β=-3.84_{-1.21}^{+0.63}$. Based on our new QLF model we determine the quasar comoving spatial density at $z\!\approx\!6$ to be $n( M_{1450}<-26)=1.16_{-0.12}^{+0.13}\,\text{cGpc}^{-3}$. In comparison with the literature, we find the quasar density to evolve with a constant value of $k\approx-0.7$ from $z\approx7$ to $z\approx4$. Additionally, we derive an ionizing emissivity of $ε_{912}(z=6) =7.23_{-1.02}^{+1.65}\times 10^{22}\,\text{erg}\,\text{s}^{-1}\text{Hz}^{-1}\text{cMpc}^{-3}$ based on the QLF measurement. Given standard assumptions and the recent measurement of the mean free path of Becker et al. (2021) at $z\approx6$ we calculate an HI photoionizing rate of $Γ_{\text{HI}}(z{=}6) \approx 6 \times10^{-16}\,\text{s}^{-1}$, strongly disfavoring a dominant role of quasars in hydrogen reionization.

description: A growing disquiet has emerged in recent years that standard stellar models are at odds with observations of the colour-magnitude diagrams (CMDs) and lithium depletion patterns of pre main sequence (PMS) stars in clusters. In this work we select 1,246 high probability K/M-type constituent members of 5 young open clusters (5--125\,Myr) in the Gaia-ESO Survey to test a series of models that use standard input physics and others that incorporate surface magnetic fields or cool starspots. We find that: standard models provide systematically under-luminous isochrones for low-mass stars in the CMD and fail to predict Li-depletion of the right strength at the right colour; magnetic models provide better CMD fits with isochrones that are $\sim 1.5-2$ times older, and provide better matches to Li depletion patterns. We investigate how rotation periods, most of which are determined here for the first time from Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite data, correlate with CMD position and Li. Among the K-stars in the older clusters we find the brightest and least Li-depleted are the fastest rotators, demonstrating the classic "Li-rotation connection" for the first time at $\sim 35$ Myr in NGC 2547, and finding some evidence that it exists in the early M-stars of NGC 2264 at $<10\,$Myr. However, the wide dispersion in Li depletion observed in fully-convective M-dwarfs in the $γ$ Vel cluster at $\sim 20$ Myr appears not to be correlated with rotation and is challenging to explain without a very large ($>10$ Myr) age spread.

description: We present a systematic methodology, built within the Open Knowledgebase of Interatomic Models (OpenKIM) framework (https://openkim.org), for quantifying properties of grain boundaries (GBs) for arbitrary interatomic potentials (IPs), GB character, and lattice structure and species. The framework currently generates results for symmetric tilt GBs in cubic materials, but can be readily extended to other types of boundaries. In this paper, GB energy data are presented that were generated automatically for Al, Ni, Cu, Fe, and Mo with 225 IPs; the system is installed on openkim.org and will continue to generate results for all new IPs uploaded to OpenKIM. The results from the atomistic calculations are compared to the lattice matching model, which is a semi-analytic geometric model for approximating GB energy. It is determined that the energy predicted by all IPs (that are stable for the given boundary type) correlate closely with the energy from the model, up to a multiplicative factor. It thus is concluded that the qualitative form of the GB energy versus tilt angle is dominated more by geometry than the choice of IP, but that the IP can strongly affect the energy level. The spread in GB energy predictions across the ensemble of IPs in OpenKIM provides a measure of uncertainty for GB energy predictions by classical IPs.
Keratinocyte Adherens Junctions Initiate Nuclear Signaling byTranslocation of Plakoglobin from the Membrane to the Nucleus

description: Because changes in cell-cell adhesion have profound effects on cellular behavior, we hypothesized a link between the adhesion and signaling functions of plakoglobin and beta-catenin. To investigate the existence of adherens-junction-mediated signaling, we used peroxovanadate to tyrosine phosphorylate plakoglobin and beta-catenin and to dissociate adherens junctions. The distribution of plakoglobin and beta-catenin was determined by immunofluorescence, western blot analysis, pulse-chase radiolabeling, and biochemical subcellular fractionation. Coimmunoprecipitation studies from nuclear fractions, gel-shift assays, and transient transfections with T cell factor (TCF)/lymphoid enhancer factor (LEF) optimized promoter reporter constructs were used to investigate the ability of plakoglobin and beta-catenin that had redistributed from the membrane to the nucleus to form functional transcriptional regulatory complexes with TCF/LEF family member transcription factors. Tyrosine phosphorylation of plakoglobin and beta-catenin resulted in their rapid translocation from the cell membrane to the nucleus. Nuclear translocation was associated with increased plakoglobin and decreased beta-catenin binding to nuclear TCF/LEF and downregulation of gene transcription from TCF/LEF reporter constructs. These results are consistent with a signaling pathway initiated by structural changes in the adherens junction in which adherens-junction-derived plakoglobin regulates nuclear transcription by antagonizing the binding of beta-catenin to TCF/LEF proteins.

description: The core-degenerate (CD) scenario for type Ia supernovae (SN Ia) involves the merger of the hot core of an asymptotic giant branch (AGB) star and a white dwarf, and might contribute a non-negligible fraction of all thermonuclear supernovae. Despite its potential interest, very few studies, and based on only crude simplifications, have been devoted to investigate this possible scenario, compared with the large efforts invested to study some other scenarios. Here we perform the first three-dimensional simulations of the merger phase, and find that this process can lead to the formation of a massive white dwarf, as required by this scenario. We consider two situations, according to the mass of the circumbinary disk formed around the system during the final stages of the common envelope phase. If the disk is massive enough, the stars merge on a highly eccentric orbit. Otherwise, the merger occurs after the circumbinary disk has been ejected and gravitational wave radiation has brought the stars close to the Roche lobe radius on a nearly circular orbit. Not surprisingly, the overall characteristics of the merger remnants are similar to those found for the double-degenerate (DD) scenario, independently of the very different core temperature and of the orbits of the merging stars. They consist of a central massive white dwarf, surrounded by a hot, rapidly rotating corona and a thick debris region.

description: The robustness of an atomic fountain interferometer with respect to variations in the initial velocity of the atoms and deviations from the optimal pulse amplitude is examined. We numerically simulate the dynamics of an interferometer in momentum space with a maximum separation of $20 \hbar k$ and map out the expected signal contrast depending on the variance of the initial velocity distribution and the value of the laser field amplitude. We show that an excitation scheme based on rapid adiabatic passage significantly enhances the expected signal contrast compared to the commonly used scheme consisting of a series of Rabi pulses. We demonstrate further substantial increase of the robustness by using optimal control theory to identify splitting and swapping pulses that perform well on an ensemble average of pulse amplitudes and velocities. Our results demonstrate the ability of optimal control to significantly enhance future implementations of atomic fountain interferometry.

description: We present a FORTRAN 77 code for evaluation of resonance pole positions and residues of a numerical scattering matrix element in the complex energy (CE) as well as in the complex angular momentum (CAM) planes. Analytical continuation of the S-matrix element is performed by constructing a type-II Padé approximant from given physical values [Bessis et al (1994); Vrinceanu et al (2000); Sokolovski and Msezane (2004)] . The algorithm involves iterative "preconditioning" of the numerical data by extracting its rapidly oscillating potential phase component. The code has the capability of adding non-analytical noise to the numerical data in order to select "true" physical poles, investigate their stability and evaluate the accuracy of the reconstruction. It has an option of employing multiple-precision (MPFUN) package [Bailey (1993)] developed by D. H. Bailey wherever double precision calculations fail due to a large number of input partial wave (energies) involved. The package has been successfully tested on several models, as well as theF+H2->HF+H,F+HD->HF +D,Cl+HCl->ClH+Cl and H+D2->HD+D reactions. Some detailed examples are given in the text.

description: Endemic pemphigus foliaceus, like the sporadic form seen in the developed world, is mediated by IgG antibodies to desmoglein-1. We studied an endemic focus in Limao Verde, Brazil, where disease prevalence is 3.4%. We previously detected IgG antibodies to desmoglein-1 in 97% of patients, but also in 55% of normal subjects in the endemic focus, with progressively lower levels in normal subjects in surrounding areas. An environmental trigger is hypothesized to explain these and other findings. In this study we sought to determine if patients and enzyme-linked-immunosorbent-assay-positive normal subjects in Limao Verde differ in IgG subclass response to desmoglein-1. We developed a sensitive and specific subclass enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay using recombinant desmoglein-1 and standardized the assay to enable comparability between the four subclasses. We found that normal subjects have an IgG1 and IgG4 response, whereas patients have similar levels of IgG1 but a mean 19.3-fold higher IgG4 response. Patients in remission have a weak IgG4 response, and a 74.3-fold higher IgG4 response is associated with active disease. Finally, in five patients in whom we had blood samples from both before and after the onset of clinical disease, a mean 103.08-fold rise in IgG4 was associated with onset of clinical disease, but only a mean 3.45-fold rise in IgG1. These results suggest that the early antibody response in normal subjects living in the endemic area and in patients before the onset of clinical disease is mainly IgG1. Acquisition of an IgG4 response is a key step in the development of clinical disease.

description: The RAS/RAF/MAPK pathway likely mediates critical cell proliferation and survival signals in melanoma. BRAF mutations have been found in a high percentage of melanoma cell lines and metastases; however, only a few studies with a limited number of specimens have focused on primary melanomas. We examined BRAF exon 15 mutational status in 37 primary invasive melanomas of varying thicknesses, which had undergone a standardized pathology review. BRAF mutational status was determined using direct manual sequencing of PCR products, followed by resequencing separately amplified DNA aliquots to confirm each mutation. BRAF exon 15 mutations were found in 17 of 37 (46%) primary melanomas. Tumor-specific tandem mutations, encoding either V599K, V599R, or V599E, were found in 5 of 17 (29%) melanomas with BRAF exon 15 mutations. Cloning of BRAF double base-pair substitutions confirmed that both base changes were on the same allele and can result in a positive charge at codon 599. BRAF mutations, including tandem mutations, were frequently found in both thin and thick primary melanomas, implying that these mutations can occur early in the progression of melanoma. The finding of tandem mutations in thin melanomas makes it more likely that they arise as a simultaneous rather than sequential event.

description: We discuss quantum gravitational effects in Einstein theory coupled to periodic axion scalars to analyze the viability of several proposals to achieve superplanckian axion periods (aka decay constants) and their possible application to large field inflation models. The effects we study correspond to the nucleation of euclidean gravitational instantons charged under the axion, and our results are essentially compatible with (but independent of) the Weak Gravity Conjecture, as follows: Single axion theories with superplanckian periods contain gravitational instantons inducing sizable higher harmonics in the axion potential, which spoil superplanckian inflaton field range. A similar result holds for multi-axion models with lattice alignment (like the Kim-Nilles-Peloso model). Finally, theories with $N$ axions can still achieve a moderately superplanckian periodicity (by a $\sqrt{N}$ factor) with no higher harmonics in the axion potential. The Weak Gravity Conjecture fails to hold in this case due to the absence of some instantons, which are forbidden by a discrete $\mathbf{Z}_N$ gauge symmetry. Finally we discuss the realization of these instantons as euclidean D-branes in string compactifications.

description: The clinical diagnosis of a patient with the phenotype of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type VI was confirmed bio-chemically by the severely diminished level of lysyl hydroxylase (LH) activity in the patient's skin fibroblasts. A novel homozygous mutation, a single base change of T1360→ G in exon 13 of the LH1 gene, predicted to result in W446G, was identified in the patient's full-length cDNA. This was confirmed in genomic DNA from both the patient and her parents, who were heterozygous for the mutation. This mutation was introduced into an LH1-pAcGP67 baculoviral construct and expressed, in parallel with normal LH1, in an insect cell system. The loss of LH activity in the mutated recombinant construct confirmed the pathogenicity of this mutation. Although not in the major catalytic site, this mutation occurs in a highly conserved region of the LH1 gene and may contribute to loss of activity by interfering with normal folding of the enzyme.

description: We analyze the energy dependence of the X-ray pulse profile and the phase-resolved spectra (PRS) of the Crab pulsar using observations from the Neutron star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) and the Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope (Insight-HXMT). We parameterize the pulse profiles and quantify the evolution of these parameters in the broad energy band of 0.4-250 keV. A log-parabola function is used to fit the PRS in 2-250 keV, and the curvature of the spectrum, i.e., the evolution of the photon index with energy, as represented by the parameter \{beta} of the log-parabola model, also changes with phase. The relation of \{beta} and phase has two turning points slightly later than those of the pulse intensity profile, where the values of \{beta} are the lowest, suggesting that the energy-loss rate of the particles is the lowest in the corresponding regions. A three-segment broken-power-law model is also used to fit those PRS. The differences between the hard spectral index and the soft ones have a distribution similar to that of \{beta}, confirming the fitting results of the log-parabola model, while the broken energies are generally higher in the region bridging the two pulses. We find anticorrelations between the spectral indices and the curvature of the log-parabola model fitting and a similar anticorrelation between the spectral indices and broken energies of the broken-power-law model fitting, suggesting a scenario where the highest-energy particles are produced in regions where radiation energy loss is strongest.
How to Coach Young International Workers & Students with a Burning Out and Stress Problems

description: The challenges of 21st-century stress are much more significant and stronger than those of the previous centuries. This is because of the changes that have occurred in the sphere of economic, social, cultural and communication life. The burnout syndrome is caused by over-participation, investment, and actions that have low performance in work and a low level of self-respect and often disturbance from internal and external stressors. The syndrome affects typically individuals who want to acquire more than they can produce more than their limit while they are under pressure that is constant from the organizational terms including deadline and dates. Therefore, this has been focused on the young international workers and students who are experiencing the burn out effect. When exposed to this kind of environment, they become victims of burnout and creating problems for themselves which also affect their families, not forgetting organization and the entire society Stress management should become one of the business philosophies of every business. Stress produces not only losses for the individual and his family but also for the organization itself because it leads to much damage in finance. However, it is essential for each organization to come up, develop and preserve unique programs, strategies not forgetting stress management methods by allowing employees to put them into practice.

description: Children may be exposed to experiencing high levels of trauma and stress. As such, children suffering from trauma are prone to behaving relatively different as compared to children with reduced levels of stress. There is a need to identify the emotions as well as behaviors in children related to how varied they experience trauma. Clinical psychologists play a vitally important role in assisting primary caregivers has a better understanding of why and how children behave the way they do. The level of spirituality restores and supports the well-being of children especially in their formative years of growth and development. Most importantly, the government through children protection services has a role to play in ensuring children is protected from the various impacts of stress and trauma. This essay is aimed at delineating the importance of child protection, their trauma, and spirituality. Notable is the fact that some of my past researches are coherent with the subject matter on this specific study and contribute to its importance and relevance. The findings from this research as well as recommendations are expected to help in shedding more light on the role of clinical psychologists in understanding child trauma and protection.

description: Certification Scheme for QT Proficiency

based on the proficiency levels of the CFQT

This document provides measurable proficiency level descriptions and sample examinations for Quantum Technology (QT) related competences based on the proficiency levels of the European Competence Framework for Quantum Technologies (CFQT).

Six proficiency levels A1, A2 (beginner), B1, B2 (intermediate) and C1, C2 (advanced) are described for each of three proficiency areas, including a specification of required knowledge and skills, as in the CFQT. For each level, the associated content is described and examples are given of how to measure whether someone has reached that level. Example tasks are given for the beginner levels (A1, A2), while assessment scenarios are illustrated for the intermediate and advanced levels. Based on these descriptions and examples, training courses and qualifications can be planned, mapped, and compared. The examples are not exclusive, the aim is to provide a clearer picture of what is required to reach a specific level. As the proficiency areas are formulated independently of a concrete QT, the focus content needs to be specified additionally. For this, the content map of the CFQT provides a structured overview of relevant topics and concepts. Cross-references to related (sub)domains of the content map are given in the content descriptions.

description: We present spatially resolved H$α$ properties of 21 type 1 AGN host galaxies at z$\sim$2 derived from the SUPER survey. These targets were observed with the adaptive optics capabilities of the SINFONI spectrograph, a near-infrared integral field spectrograph, that provided a median spatial resolution of 0.3 arcsec ($\sim$2 kpc). We model the H$α$ emission line profile in each pixel to investigate whether it traces gas in the narrow line region or if it is associated with star formation. To do this, we first investigate the presence of resolved H$α$ emission by removing the contribution of the AGN PSF. We find extended H$α$ emission in sixteen out of the 21 type 1 AGN host galaxies (76%). Based on the BPT diagnostics, optical line flux ratios and the line widths (FWHM), we show that the H$α$ emission in five galaxies is ionised by the AGN (30%), in four galaxies by star formation (25%) and for the rest (45%), the ionisation source is unconstrained. Two galaxies show extended H$α$ FWHM $>$600 km/s, which is interpreted as a part of an AGN-driven outflow. Morphological and kinematic maps of H$α$ emission in targets with sufficient signal-to-noise ratio suggest the presence of rotationally supported disks in six galaxies and possible presence of companions in four galaxies. In two galaxies, we find an anti-correlation between the locations of extended H$α$ emission and [OIII]-based ionised outflows, indicating possible negative feedback at play. However, in the majority of galaxies, we do not find evidence of outflows impacting H$α$ based star formation.

Collagen Dysregulation in the Dermis of the Sagg/+ Mouse: A Loose Skin Model

description: The Sagg/+ mouse is an ethylnitrosourea-derived mutant with a dermal phenotype similar to some of the subtypes of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) and cutis laxa. The dermis of the Sagg/+ mouse has less dense and more disorganized collagen fibers compared to controls. The size of extracted Type I dermal collagen was the same as that observed in normal skin; however, more collagen could be extracted from Sagg/ + skin, which also showed decreased collagen content and decreased steady-state levels of α1(I), α2(I), α1(V), and α2(V) procollagen mRNAs. The biomechanical properties of Sagg/+ skin were significantly decreased relative to normal skin. However, there were no significant differences in the quantities of the major collagen cross-links, that is, dehydrohydroxylysinonorleucine and dehydrohistidinohydroxymerodesmosine between Sagg/+ and normal skin. Electron microscopic evaluation of Sagg/+ skin indicated that the mutation interferes with the proper formation of collagen fibrils and the data are consistent with a mutation in Type V collagen leading to haploinsufficiency with the formation of two sub-populations of collagen fibrils, one normal and one with irregular shape and a larger diameter. Further study of this novel mutation will allow the identification of new mechanisms involved in the regulation of normal and pathologic collagen gene expression.

description: Accurate user interest modeling is vital for recommendation scenarios. One of the effective solutions is the sequential recommendation that relies on click behaviors, but this is not elegant in the video feed recommendation where users are passive in receiving the streaming contents and return skip or no-skip behaviors. Here skip and no-skip behaviors can be treated as negative and positive feedback, respectively. With the mixture of positive and negative feedback, it is challenging to capture the transition pattern of behavioral sequence. To do so, FeedRec has exploited a shared vanilla Transformer, which may be inelegant because head interaction of multi-heads attention does not consider different types of feedback. In this paper, we propose Dual-interest Factorization-heads Attention for Sequential Recommendation (short for DFAR) consisting of feedback-aware encoding layer, dual-interest disentangling layer and prediction layer. In the feedback-aware encoding layer, we first suppose each head of multi-heads attention can capture specific feedback relations. Then we further propose factorization-heads attention which can mask specific head interaction and inject feedback information so as to factorize the relation between different types of feedback. Additionally, we propose a dual-interest disentangling layer to decouple positive and negative interests before performing disentanglement on their representations. Finally, we evolve the positive and negative interests by corresponding towers whose outputs are contrastive by BPR loss. Experiments on two real-world datasets show the superiority of our proposed method against state-of-the-art baselines. Further ablation study and visualization also sustain its effectiveness.

description: In this study, using the placental origin theory as a basis, we set out to explore whether hemangioma endothelial cells (HEC) were maternal in origin. We rigorously addressed this hypothesis using several molecular genetic techniques. Fluorescent in situ hybridization on surgical specimens of proliferating hemangiomas (n=8) demonstrated no XX-labeled HEC from resected tumors of male infants. This analysis was followed by PCR genotyping of HEC (n=11) using microsatellite markers where cellular components were genotyped and compared to genomic DNA of corresponding mother-child pairs. In the seven informative mother-child pairs, HEC matched the genotype of the child and not the maternal genotype. Concerned that HEC represented a mixed population of cells, we subsequently enriched for cells using the placental-specific endothelial cell (EC) marker, Fc gammaRII. Three informative mother-child pairs exhibited only the genotype of the child in our enriched cell population. Using sequence analysis, we identified an informative single nucleotide polymorphism in an exon of the placental-EC-specific protein, GLUT1. When comparing GLUT1 complementary DNA (cDNA) with mother-child DNA, the genotype of the cDNA matched the constitutional DNA of the child. Our results indicate that hemangiomas are not microchimeric in origin. This study provides further insight into the origin of a tumor whose pathogenesis remains elusive.

description: A silicon pixel detector with fine pitch size of 19x19 um, developed base on SOI (silicon on insulator) technology, was tested under the illumination of infrared laser pulses. As an alternative way to particle beam tests, the laser pulses were tuned to very short duration and small transverse profile to simulate the tracks of MIPs (minimum ionization particles) in silicon. Hit cluster sizes were measured with focused laser pulses propagating through the SOI detector perpendicular to its surface and most of the induced charge was found to be collected inside the seed pixel. For the first time, the signal amplitude as a function of the applied bias voltage was measured for this SOI detector, deepening understanding of its depletion characteristics.
