description: BACKGROUND: The palatine tonsils are part of the mucosal immune system and stimulate immune responses through M cell uptake sampling of antigens and bacteria in the tonsillar crypts. Little is known about the development of the tonsillar microbiota and the factors determining the establishment and proliferation of disease-associated bacteria such as Streptococcus suis. In this study, we assessed tonsillar microbiota development in piglets during the first 5 weeks of life and identified the relative importance of maternal and environmental farm parameters influencing the tonsillar microbiota at different ages. Additionally, we studied the effect sow vaccination with a bacterin against S. suis on microbiota development and S. suis colonisation in their offspring. RESULTS: Amplicon sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene V3-V4 region revealed that a diverse tonsillar microbiota is established shortly after birth, which then gradually changes during the first 5 weeks of life without a large impact of weaning on composition or diversity. We found a strong litter effect, with siblings sharing a more similar microbiota compared to non-sibling piglets. Co-housing in rooms, within which litters were housed in separate pens, also had a large impact on microbiota composition. Sow parity and prepartum S. suis bacterin vaccination of sows had weaker but significant associations with microbiota composition, impacting on the abundance of Streptococcus species before and after weaning. Sex and birthweight had limited impact on the tonsillar microbiota, and none of the measured factors had consistent associations with microbiota diversity. CONCLUSIONS: The piglet tonsillar microbiota is established shortly after birth. While microbiota development is associated with both environmental and maternal parameters, weaning has limited impact on microbiota composition. Intramuscular vaccination of sows pre-partum had a significant effect on the tonsillar microbiota composition of their piglets. These findings provide new insights into the mechanisms shaping the tonsillar microbiota.

description: Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen steering is a form of quantum nonlocality exhibiting an inherent asymmetry between the observers, Alice and Bob. We present a simple class of entangled two-qubit states which are one-way steerable, considering arbitrary projective measurements. That is, Alice can steer the state of Bob, but it is impossible for Bob to steer Alice's state. This shows that the nonlocal properties of entangled states can be fundamentally asymmetrical.

description: INTRODUCTION: Primary brain tumours, specifically gliomas, are a rare disease group. The disease and treatment negatively impacts on patients and those close to them. The high rates of physical and cognitive morbidity differ from other cancers causing reduced health-related quality of life. Glioma trials using outcomes that allow holistic analysis of treatment benefits and risks enable informed care decisions. Currently, outcome assessment in glioma trials is inconsistent, hindering evidence synthesis. A core outcome set (COS) - an agreed minimum set of outcomes to be measured and reported - may address this. International initiatives focus on defining core outcomes assessments across brain tumour types. This protocol describes the development of a COS involving UK stakeholders for use in glioma trials, applicable across glioma types, with provision to identify subsets as required. Due to stakeholder interest in data reported from the patient perspective, outcomes from the COS that can be patient-reported will be identified. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: Stage I: (1) trial registry review to identify outcomes collected in glioma trials and (2) systematic review of qualitative literature exploring glioma patient and key stakeholder research priorities. Stage II: semi-structured interviews with glioma patients and caregivers. Outcome lists will be generated from stages I and II. Stage III: study team will remove duplicate items from the outcome lists and ensure accessible terminology for inclusion in the Delphi survey. Stage IV: a two-round Delphi process whereby the outcomes will be rated by key stakeholders. Stage V: a consensus meeting where participants will finalise the COS. The study team will identify the COS outcomes that can be patient-reported. Further research is needed to match patient-reported outcomes to available measures. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: Ethical approval was obtained (REF SMREC 21/59, Cardiff University School of Medicine Research Ethics Committee). Study findings will be disseminated widely through conferences and journal publication. The final COS will be adopted and promoted by patient and carer groups and its use by funders encouraged.

Elliptic flow of identified hadrons in Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm{NN}}}$ = 2.76 TeV

description: The elliptic flow coefficient ($v_{2}$) of identified particles in Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_\mathrm{NN}} = 2.76$ TeV was measured with the ALICE detector at the LHC. The results were obtained with the Scalar Product method, a two-particle correlation technique, using a pseudo-rapidity gap of $|Δη| > 0.9$ between the identified hadron under study and the reference particles. The $v_2$ is reported for $π^{\pm}$, $\mathrm{K}^{\pm}$, $\mathrm{K}^0_\mathrm{S}$, p+$\overline{\mathrm{p}}$, $\mathrmϕ$, $Λ$+$\overline{\mathrmΛ}$, $Ξ^-$+$\overlineΞ^+$ and $Ω^-$+$\overlineΩ^+$ in several collision centralities. In the low transverse momentum ($p_{\mathrm{T}}$) region, $p_{\mathrm{T}} < 2 $GeV/$c$, $v_2(p_\mathrm{T})$ exhibits a particle mass dependence consistent with elliptic flow accompanied by the transverse radial expansion of the system with a common velocity field. The experimental data for $π^{\pm}$ and $\mathrm{K}$ are described fairly well by hydrodynamical calculations coupled to a hadronic cascade model (VISHNU) for central collisions. However, the same calculations fail to reproduce the $v_2(p_\mathrm{T})$ for p+$\overline{\mathrm{p}}$, $\mathrmϕ$, $Λ$+$\overline{\mathrmΛ}$ and $Ξ^-$+$\overlineΞ^+$. For transverse momentum values larger than about 3 GeV/$c$, particles tend to group according to their type, i.e. mesons and baryons. However, the experimental data at the LHC exhibit deviations from the number of constituent quark (NCQ) scaling at the level of $\pm$20$\%$ for $p_{\mathrm{T}} > 3 $GeV/$c$.

description: In coordination with task 1.4, ElringKlinger tested the diagnostic approaches for single cells and short stacks developed at FESB on the third full-size stack, to highlight any difference in behaviour and required adjustments to the prognostic approaches. The simple test setup on the full stack test system at ElringKlinger production test lab has provided results that are in line with the expectations for the estimation of the low frequency resistance (LFR). This parameter is related to ageing of the fuel cells, and is intended to be used for prognostics, together with other relevant operational data.
Robust estimation of inequality from binned incomes

description: Researchers must often estimate income inequality using data that give only the number of cases (e.g., families or households) whose incomes fall in "bins" such as $0-9,999, $10,000-14,999,..., $200,000+. We find that popular methods for estimating inequality from binned incomes are not robust in small samples, where popular methods can produce infinite, undefined, or arbitrarily large estimates. To solve these and other problems, we develop two improved estimators: the robust Pareto midpoint estimator (RPME) and the multimodel generalized beta estimator (MGBE). In a broad evaluation using US national, state, and county data from 1970 to 2009, we find that both estimators produce very good estimates of the mean and Gini, but less accurate estimates of the Theil and mean log deviation. Neither estimator is uniformly more accurate, but the RPME is much faster, which may be a consideration when many estimates must be obtained from many datasets. We have made the methods available as the rpme and mgbe commands for Stata and the binequality package for R.

description: Kapovich and Nagnibeda introduced the space $\mathcal{S} {\rm Curr}(F_N)$ of subset currents on a free group $F_N$ of rank $N\geq 2$, which can be thought of as a measure-theoretic completion of the set of all conjugacy classes of finitely generated subgroups of $F_N$. We define a product $\mathcal{N} (H,K)$ of two finitely generated subgroups $H$ and $K$ of $F_N$ by the sum of the reduced rank $\overline{\rm rk}(H\cap gKg^{-1})$ over all double cosets $HgK\ (g\in F_N)$, and extend the product $\mathcal{N}$ to a continuous symmetric $\mathbb{R}_{\geq 0}$-bilinear functional $\mathcal{N} \colon \mathcal{S} {\rm Curr} (F_N)\times \mathcal{S} {\rm Curr} (F_N)\to \mathbb {R}_{\geq 0}$. We also give an answer to a question presented by Kapovich and Nagnibeda. The definition of $\mathcal{N}$ originates in the Strengthened Hanna Neumann Conjecture, which has been proven by Mineyev and can be stated as follows: $\mathcal{N} (H,K)\leq \overline{\rm rk} (H) \overline{\rm rk} (K)$ holds for any finitely generated subgroups $H$ and $K$ of $F_N$. As a corollary to our theorem, this inequality is generalized to the inequality for subset currents.

description: Within the scope of GiantLeap project, Bosch Engineering GmbH, together with VDL Enabling Transport Solutions b.v. and their partners, designed and built a fuel cell range extender system for battery electric buses. This system is contained in a specially designed trailer to be attached to the tow hitch of any suited electric bus. Depending on a power demand sent by the vehicle, the fuel cell system generates the power needed for the propulsion of the vehicle as well as charge the ehicle’s traction battery. Two full size systems have been built, commissioned and tested on BEG’s system test bench and the trailer module respectively, and calibrated to be operated on public roads. Due to various issues that occurred during calibration and testing, an originally planned final endurance test hat to be cut short to finish the project in time.

description: OBJECTIVE: The aim of this systematic review is to evaluate the various modalities available for extended ECG monitoring in the detection of atrial fibrillation (AF) following a cryptogenic stroke. METHODS: MEDLINE (Ovid), EMBASE (Ovid), Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) were searched from January 2011 to November 2021. All randomised controlled trials and prospective cohort studies including the use of extended ECG monitoring >24 hours with a minimum duration of AF of 30 s in patients with either cryptogenic strokes or transient ischaemic attacks were included. A random-effects model was used to pool effect estimates of AF detection rates from different ECG modalities. RESULTS: 3924 studies were identified, of which 47 were included reporting on a pooled population of 6448 patients with cryptogenic stroke. The pooled AF rate for implantable loop recorders (ILRs) increased from 4.9% (3.0%-7.9%) at 1 month to 38.4% (20.4%-60.2%) at 36 months. Mobile cardiac outpatient telemetry (MCOT) had a significantly higher pooled AF detection rate of 12.8% (8.9%-17.9%) versus 4.9% (3.0%-7.9%) for ILR at 1 month (p<0.0001). Predictors for AF detection include duration of monitoring (p<0.0001) and age (p<0.0001) for ILRs, but only age for MCOTs (p<0.020). CONCLUSION: MCOT has a higher rate of detection at 1 month and is less invasive. Beyond 1 month, compliance becomes a significant limitation for MCOT. MCOT may be a reasonable alternative AF screening tool for patients with cryptogenic stroke if ILR is not available. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER: CRD42022297782.

description: We propose a centralised platform for quantitative benchmarking of key performance indicators (KPI) among mutually distrustful organisations. Our platform offers users the opportunity to request an ad-hoc benchmarking for a specific KPI within a peer group of their choice. Architecture and protocol are designed to provide anonymity to its users and to hide the sensitive KPI values from other clients and the central server. To this end, we integrate user-centric peer group formation, exchangeable secure multi-party computation protocols, short-lived ephemeral key pairs as pseudonyms, and attribute certificates. We show by empirical evaluation of a prototype that the performance is acceptable for reasonably sized peer groups.

description: Visualizing and navigating through large astronomy images from a remote location with current astronomy display tools can be a frustrating experience in terms of speed and ergonomics, especially on mobile devices. In this paper, we present a high performance, versatile and robust client-server system for remote visualization and analysis of extremely large scientific images. Applications of this work include survey image quality control, interactive data query and exploration, citizen science, as well as public outreach. The proposed software is entirely open source and is designed to be generic and applicable to a variety of datasets. It provides access to floating point data at terabyte scales, with the ability to precisely adjust image settings in real-time. The proposed clients are light-weight, platform-independent web applications built on standard HTML5 web technologies and compatible with both touch and mouse-based devices. We put the system to the test and assess the performance of the system and show that a single server can comfortably handle more than a hundred simultaneous users accessing full precision 32 bit astronomy data.

description: Different approaches have been used in the development of system models. In addition, modeling and simulation approaches are essential for design, analysis, control, and diagnosis of complex systems. This work presents a Simulink model for systems with mixed continuous and discrete behaviors. The model simulated was developed using the bond graph methodology and we model hybrid systems using hybrid bond graphs (HBGs), that incorporates local switching functions that enable the reconfiguration of energy flow paths. This approach has been implemented as a software tool called the MOdeling and Transformation of HBGs for Simulation (MOTHS) tool suite which incorporates a model translator that create Simulink models. Simulation model of a three-tank system that includes a switching component was developed using the bond graph methodology, and MoTHS software were used to build a Simulink model of the dynamic behavior.

description: We present a fast algorithm that constructs a data-sparse approximation of matrices arising in the context of integral equation methods for elliptic partial differential equations. The new algorithm uses Green's representation formula in combination with quadrature to obtain a first approximation of the kernel function and then applies nested cross approximation to obtain a more efficient representation. The resulting $\mathcal{H}^2$-matrix representation requires $\mathcal{O}(n k)$ units of storage for an $n\times n$ matrix, where $k$ depends on the prescribed accuracy.

description: Quantum Bayesianism, or QBism, is a recent development of the epistemic view of quantum states, according to which the state vector represents knowledge about a quantum system, rather than the true state of the system. QBism explicitly adopts the subjective view of probability, wherein probability assignments express an agent's personal degrees of belief about an event. QBists claim that most if not all conceptual problems of quantum mechanics vanish if we simply take a proper epistemic and probabilistic perspective. Although this judgement is largely subjective and logically consistent, I explain why I do not share it.

description: We have performed an extensive test of the ability of density functional theory within several approximations for the exchange-correlation functional, local density approximation+Hubbard $U$ and local density approximation + dynamic mean field theory to describe magnetic and electronic properties of SrRuO$_3$. We focus on the ferromagnetic phase, illustrating differences between the orthorhombic low temperature structure vs the cubic high temperature structure. We assess how magnetism, spectral function, and cohesive properties are affected by methodology, on-site Hubbard $U$ and double counting corrections. Further, we compare the impact of the impurity solver on the quasiparticle weight $Z$, which is in turn compared to experimental results. The spectral functions resulting from the different treatments are also compared to experimental data. The impact of spin-orbit coupling is also studied, allowing us to determine the orbital moments. In the orthorhombic phase the orbital moments are found to be tilted with respect to the spin moments, emphasising the importance of taking into account the distortion of the oxygen octahedra.

description: I present here a new method that allows the introduction of a discrete auxiliary symmetry in a theory in such a way that the eigenvalue spectrum of the fermion functional determinant is made up of complex conjugated pairs. The method implies a particular way of introducing and integrating over auxiliary fields related to a set of artificial shift symmetries. Gauge-fixing the artificial continuous shift symmetries in the direct and dual sectors leads to the implementation of direct and dual BRST-type global symmetries and of a symplectic structure over the field space (as prescribed by the Batalin-Vilkovisky method). A procedure similar to Kahler polarization in geometric quantization guarantees the possibility to choose a Kahler structure over the field space. This structure is generated by a special way of performing gauge fixing over the direct and dual sectors. The desired discrete symmetry appears to be induced by the Hodge-* operator. The particular extension of the field space presented here makes the operators of the de-Rham cohomology manifest. These become symmetries in the extended theory. This method implies the identification of the (anti)-BRST and dual-(anti)-BRST operators with the exterior derivative and its dual in the context of the complex de-Rham cohomology.

description: Energy models can be constructed by characterizing the energy consumed by executing each instruction in a processor's instruction set. This can be used to determine how much energy is required to execute a sequence of assembly instructions, without the need to instrument or measure hardware. However, statically analyzing low-level program structures is hard, and the gap between the high-level program structure and the low-level energy models needs to be bridged. We have developed techniques for performing a static analysis on the intermediate compiler representations of a program. Specifically, we target LLVM IR, a representation used by modern compilers, including Clang. Using these techniques we can automatically infer an estimate of the energy consumed when running a function under different platforms, using different compilers. One of the challenges in doing so is that of determining an energy cost of executing LLVM IR program segments, for which we have developed two different approaches. When this information is used in conjunction with our analysis, we are able to infer energy formulae that characterize the energy consumption for a particular program. This approach can be applied to any languages targeting the LLVM toolchain, including C and XC or architectures such as ARM Cortex-M or XMOS xCORE, with a focus towards embedded platforms. Our techniques are validated on these platforms by comparing the static analysis results to the physical measurements taken from the hardware. Static energy consumption estimation enables energy-aware software development, without requiring hardware knowledge.

Excitation energies of $3^-_1$ state in $^{134}$Te and $^{136}$Xe, as well as those of $13/2^+_1$ states in $^{135}$Te and $^{137}$Xe, are taken as touchstones of our samplings. A robust upper limit of $\varepsilon_{i13/2}<3.1$ MeV emerges in our calculations, given the mixing of $i_{13/2}$ single-neutron configuration and $f_{7/2}\otimes 3^-$ configuration in $13/2^+_1$ states of $N=83$ isotones.

description: As a direct consequence of the no-cloning theorem, the deterministic amplification as in classical communication is impossible for quantum states. This calls for more advanced techniques in a future global quantum network, e.g. for cloud quantum computing. A unique solution is the teleportation of an entangled state, i.e. entanglement swapping, representing the central resource to relay entanglement between distant nodes. Together with entanglement purification and a quantum memory it constitutes a so-called quantum repeater. Since the aforementioned building blocks have been individually demonstrated in laboratory setups only, the applicability of the required technology in real-world scenarios remained to be proven. Here we present a free-space entanglement-swapping experiment between the Canary Islands of La Palma and Tenerife, verifying the presence of quantum entanglement between two previously independent photons separated by 143 km. We obtained an expectation value for the entanglement-witness operator, more than 6 standard deviations beyond the classical limit. By consecutive generation of the two required photon pairs and space-like separation of the relevant measurement events, we also showed the feasibility of the swapping protocol in a long-distance scenario, where the independence of the nodes is highly demanded. Since our results already allow for efficient implementation of entanglement purification, we anticipate our assay to lay the ground for a fully-fledged quantum repeater over a realistic high-loss and even turbulent quantum channel.

Subjects: Motor activity, Inclusion, Special pedagogy

description: Carrying out motor and sporting activities for a disabled person, or one who is physically, economically or socially disadvantaged, is the exaltation of his or her abilities, even if they are residual, and of what he or she can do, in a world that always reminds him or her of what he or she is unable to be and what he or she lacks. This paper analyses how the initiation into motor and/or sports practice of individuals with intellectual and/or mental, relational or social criticalities, aims to promote their inclusion, self-esteem, social integration and prevent the risk of onset of chronic degenerative diseases and improve their quality of life.

Lagrangian for Frenkel electron and position's non-commutativity due to spin

description: We construct relativistic-invariant spinning-particle Lagrangian without auxiliary variables. Spin is considered as a composed quantity constructed on the base of non-Grassmann vector-like variable. The variational problem guarantees both fixed value of spin and Frenkel condition on spin-tensor. Taking into account the Frenkel condition, we obtain, inevitably, relativistic corrections to the algebra of position variables: their classical brackets became noncommutative, with the "parameter of non-commutativity" proportional to the spin-tensor. This leads to a number of interesting consequences in quantum theory. We construct the relativistic quantum mechanics in canonical formalism (in physical-time parametrization) and in covariant formalism (in arbitrary parametrization). We show how state-vectors and operators of covariant formulation can be used to compute mean values of physical operators of position and spin. This proves relativistic covariance of canonical formalism. Various candidates for position and spin operators of an electron acquire clear meaning and interpretation in the Lagrangian model of Frenkel electron. We also establish the relation between Frenkel electron and positive-energy sector of Dirac equation, this allowed us to turn to the long-standing problem on spin and position operators of Dirac theory. Contrary to widely assumed opinion, our results argue in favor of Pryce's (d)-type operators. This implies that effects of non-commutativity could be presented at the Compton wave length, in contrast to conventional expectations at the Planck length. At last, we present the manifestly covariant form of spin and position operators of Dirac equation.

Free filtrations of affine Weyl arrangements and the ideal-Shi arrangements

description: In this article we prove that the ideal-Shi arrangements are free central arrangements of hyperplanes satisfying the dual-partition formula. Then it immediately follows that there exists a saturated free filtration of the cone of any affine Weyl arrangement such that each filter is a free subarrangement satisfying the dual-partition formula. This generalizes the main result in \cite{ABCHT} which affirmatively settled a conjecture by Sommers and Tymoczko \cite{SomTym}.

description: The partition of graphs into "nice" subgraphs is a central algorithmic problem with strong ties to matching theory. We study the partitioning of undirected graphs into same-size stars, a problem known to be NP-complete even for the case of stars on three vertices. We perform a thorough computational complexity study of the problem on subclasses of perfect graphs and identify several polynomial-time solvable cases, for example, on interval graphs and bipartite permutation graphs, and also NP-complete cases, for example, on grid graphs and chordal graphs.

Risk Shocks and Housing Markets

description: This paper analyzes the role of uncertainty in a multi-sector housing model with financial frictions. We include time varying uncertainty (i.e. risk shocks) in the technology shocks that affect housing production. The analysis demonstrates that risk shocks to the housing production sector are a quantitatively important impulse mechanism for the business cycle. Also, we demonstrate that bankruptcy costs act as an endogenous markup factor in housing prices; as a consequence, the volatility of housing prices is greater than that of output, as observed in the data. The model can also account for the observed countercyclical behavior of risk premia on loans to the housing sector.
Rashba spin orbit coupling in the Kane-Mele-Hubbard model

description: Spin-orbit (SO) coupling is the crucial parameter to drive topological insulating phases in electronic band models. In particular, the generic emergence of SO coupling involves the Rashba term which fully breaks the SU(2) spin symmetry. As soon as interactions are taken into account, however, many theoretical studies have to content themselves with the analysis of a simplified U(1) conserving SO term without Rashba coupling. We intend to fill this gap by studying the Kane-Mele-Hubbard (KMH) model in the presence of Rashba SO coupling and present the first systematic analysis of the effect of Rashba SO coupling in a correlated two-dimensional topological insulator. We apply the variational cluster approach (VCA) to determine the interacting phase diagram by computing local density of states, magnetization, single particle spectral function, and edge states. Preceded by a detailed VCA analysis of the KMH model in the presence of U(1) conserving SO coupling, we find that the additional Rashba SO coupling drives new electronic phases such as a metallic regime and a direct-gap only topological insulating phase which persist in the presence of interactions.

Minimizing Degree-based Topological Indices for Trees with Given Number of Pendent Vertices + Erratum

description: We derive sharp lower bounds for the first and the second Zagreb indices ($M_1$ and $M_2$ respectively) for trees and chemical trees with the given number of pendent vertices and find optimal trees. $M_1$ is minimized by a tree with all internal vertices having degree 4, while $M_2$ is minimized by a tree where each "stem" vertex is incident to 3 or 4 pendent vertices and one internal vertex, while the rest internal vertices are incident to 3 other internal vertices. The technique is shown to generalize to the weighted first Zagreb index, the zeroth order general Randić index, as long as to many other degree-based indices. Later the erratum was added: Theorem 3 says that the second Zagreb index $M_2$ cannot be less than $11n-27$ for a tree with $n\ge 8$ pendent vertices. Yet the tree exists with $n=8$ vertices (the two-sided broom) violating this inequality. The reason is that the proof of Theorem 3 relays on a tacit assumption that an index-minimizing tree contains no vertices of degree 2. This assumption appears to be invalid in general. In this erratum we show that the inequality $M_2 \ge 11n-27$ still holds for trees with $n\ge 9$ vertices and provide the valid proof of the (corrected) Theorem 3.
