description: Images of the CO 2-1 line emission, and the radio continuum emission, from the redshift 4.12 gravitationally lensed quasi-stellar object (QSO) PSS J2322+1944 reveal an Einstein ring with a diameter of 1.5". These observations are modeled as a star forming disk surrounding the QSO nucleus with a radius of 2 kpc. The implied massive star formation rate is 900 M_sun/year. At this rate a substantial fraction of the stars in a large elliptical galaxy could form on a dynamical time scale of 10^8 years. The observation of active star formation in the host galaxy of a high-redshift QSO supports the hypothesis of coeval formation of supermassive black holes and stars in spheroidal galaxies.

Year: 2022

description: Background: Physical activity (PA) for preschool children promotes several health outcomes. Considering a vast number spend their weekdays in childcare settings, the Early Childhood Educator (ECE) becomes a key facilitator of PA. From a pragmatic perspective, physical literacy (PL) is a vehicle for promoting lifelong engagement in PA. However, little research exists exploring ECEs perceived PL in order to further explore the relationship between their PL and preschool children’s PA. Purpose: To explore Queensland ECEs’ perceived PL according to the Australian Physical Literacy Framework (APLF) domains (physical, psychological, social, cognitive), and factors that contribute to their own PL and preschoolers’ PA. Methods: Two ECEs were recruited from separate childcare centres across Queensland, Australia, and participated in one-hour audio-recorded interviews via Zoom. ECEs were asked 24 questions surrounding their perceived PL, and 9 exploring factors that impact their PL and children’s PA. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and analyzed thematically. Results: The analysis resulted in 3 overarching themes: PL domains, and facilitators and barriers to PA. Both ECEs described high levels of knowledge of PA, engagement in PA, and confidence and motivation to be physically active in and outside of childcare settings. The most important factors that were found to contribute to their PL and children’s PA included playing sports, maintaining a positive attitude, and organizational collaboration. Conclusions: Despite being employed in different centres, both ECEs perceived similar PL and factors that contribute to preschoolers’ PA. This suggests the organization they are employed within, and its’ policies play an important role in promoting PL and PA. Funding: No funding was received for this study.

description: Background: Older adults spend the majority of their time in hospital sedentary. This contributes to functional decline, a longer hospital stay and possible worsening of frailty. Little is known about the perspectives of hospitalised older patients regarding sedentary behaviour (SB) and physical activity (PA). Purpose: To explore older patients’ perspectives on SB and PA, identify influencing factors and their relationship. Methods: This study used the constructivist grounded theory methodology. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with patients aged ≥ 65 years on an orthopaedic and geriatric medicine ward. Results: 23 patients [80±14.1 years; 65.5% (n=15) female] were interviewed. Patients described SB as physical and mental inactivity and PA as activities of daily living and other activities common to older people. Patients were aware that SB is detrimental to their physical and/or mental health, and expressed willingness to get physically active where they feel safe and supported. Older patients opined the hospital processes disempower them from getting physically active. Factors beyond their control, lack of physical support from staff, not communicating their desire to get physically active and lack of activities in hospital were major reasons for SB. The factors influencing SB and PA in hospital were cultural (hospital processes), behavioural (past PA levels), social (activities that offer opportunities for socialisation), cognitive (understanding of SB and PA), interpersonal (communication and support from clinical staff), personal (personal motivators to getting physically active in hospital) and environmental (lack of activities and ward environment). The interplay between these factors encourage SB and discourage PA in hospital Conclusion: Older patients are willing to be physically active if empowered through better communication, education and support. There is a need to improve patient understanding of SB and PA. Understanding and tackling the factors that result in SB and reduce PA is critical if SB is to be reduced and PA increased.

description: Background: Combined effects of physical activity (PA) and passive/mentally active sedentary behavior (SB) on dementia are unclear. Purpose: Identifying the effects of these behaviors on dementia onset among older adults. Methods: All residents aged ≥65 in Tsuru, Yamanashi, Japan, were enrolled. A mail survey was conducted in 2016. Respondents were followed up for five years, and 5323 participants were included in the analyses (79.7%). Dementia onset was examined using long-term care insurance data. PA was evaluated with the International Physical Activity Questionnaire and categorized into <2.5 MET-h/week as “low,” <16.0 MET-h/week as “moderate,” and ≥16.0 MET-h/week as “high.” We assessed sitting time for watching TV as passive SB (<1 h/day, <3 h/day, ≥3 h/day) and reading time (RT) as mentally active SB (<10 min/day, <30 min/day, ≥30 min/day). To examine the associations of PA and SB with dementia, we performed Fine-Gray models and calculated sub-distribution hazard ratios [95% confidence intervals]. Results: During the 5-year follow-up, 606 (11.4%) individuals developed dementia. Analyses showed that PA (moderate: 0.75[0.59, 0.95], high: 0.54[0.36, 0.80]) and RT (high: 0.76[0.60, 0.97]) were associated with reduced the risk of dementia. Compared with low PA and low RT group, moderate PA and moderate RT, high PA and moderate RT, high PA and high RT were associated with a lower dementia risk. Conclusions: PA and RT reduce the risk of dementia. Interventions promoting both PA and RT would be effective for preventing dementia. Funding: Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (15H03089).

description: Abstractive summarization at controllable lengths is a challenging task in natural language processing. It is even more challenging for domains where limited training data is available or scenarios in which the length of the summary is not known beforehand. At the same time, when it comes to trusting machine-generated summaries, explaining how a summary was constructed in human-understandable terms may be critical. We propose Multi-level Summarizer (MLS), a supervised method to construct abstractive summaries of a text document at controllable lengths. The key enabler of our method is an interpretable multi-headed attention mechanism that computes attention distribution over an input document using an array of timestep independent semantic kernels. Each kernel optimizes a human-interpretable syntactic or semantic property. Exhaustive experiments on two low-resource datasets in the English language show that MLS outperforms strong baselines by up to 14.70% in the METEOR score. Human evaluation of the summaries also suggests that they capture the key concepts of the document at various length-budgets.

description: Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are popular green media used for various industrial, pharmaceutical, and biomedical applications. However, the possible compositions of eutectic systems are so numerous that it is impossible to study all of them experimentally. To remedy this limitation, the solubility landscape of selected active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) in choline chloride- and betaine-based deep eutectic solvents was explored using theoretical models based on machine learning. The available solubility data for the selected APIs, comprising a total of 8014 data points, were collected for the available neat solvents, binary solvent mixtures, and DESs. This set was augmented with new measurements for the popular sulfa drugs in dry DESs. The descriptors used in the machine learning protocol were obtained from the σ-profiles of the considered molecules computed within the COSMO-RS framework. A combination of six sets of descriptors and 36 regressors were tested. Taking into account both accuracy and generalization, it was concluded that the best regressor is nuSVR regressor-based predictive models trained using the relative intermolecular interactions and a twelve-step averaged simplification of the relative σ-profiles.

description: With modern requirements, there is an increasing tendency of considering multiple objectives/criteria simultaneously in many Software Engineering (SE) scenarios. Such a multi-objective optimization scenario comes with an important issue -- how to evaluate the outcome of optimization algorithms, which typically is a set of incomparable solutions (i.e., being Pareto non-dominated to each other). This issue can be challenging for the SE community, particularly for practitioners of Search-Based SE (SBSE). On one hand, multi-objective optimization could still be relatively new to SE/SBSE researchers, who may not be able to identify the right evaluation methods for their problems. On the other hand, simply following the evaluation methods for general multi-objective optimization problems may not be appropriate for specific SE problems, especially when the problem nature or decision maker's preferences are explicitly/implicitly available. This has been well echoed in the literature by various inappropriate/inadequate selection and inaccurate/misleading use of evaluation methods. In this paper, we first carry out a systematic and critical review of quality evaluation for multi-objective optimization in SBSE. We survey 717 papers published between 2009 and 2019 from 36 venues in seven repositories, and select 95 prominent studies, through which we identify five important but overlooked issues in the area. We then conduct an in-depth analysis of quality evaluation indicators/methods and general situations in SBSE, which, together with the identified issues, enables us to codify a methodological guidance for selecting and using evaluation methods in different SBSE scenarios.

description: Background: Recent evidence suggests that prolonged sitting and its adverse impact on glycaemic indicators appear to be proportional to the degree of insulin resistance. To investigate this finding in a free-living context, we aimed to examine associations of device-measured 24-hour time-use compositions of sitting, standing, stepping, and sleeping with fasting glucose (FPG) and 2h post-load glucose (2hPLG) levels, and to examine separately the associations with time-use compositions among those at lower and at higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Methods: Cross-sectional analyses examined thigh-worn inclinometer data (activPAL, 7 day, 24h/day protocol) from 648 participants (aged 36-80 years) at either lower (<39mmol/mol; <5.7% HbA1c) or higher (≥39mmol/mol; ≥5.7% HbA1c) diabetes risk from the 2011-2012 Australian Diabetes, Obesity and Lifestyle study. Multiple linear regression models were used to examine associations of varying compositions with FPG and 2hPLG, with time spent in each behaviour allowed to vary up to 60 minutes. Results: In general, the associations with the FPG within the time-use compositions were small, with statistically significant associations observed for sitting and sleeping (in the lower diabetes risk group) and standing (higher diabetes risk group) only. For 2hPLG, statistically significant associations were observed for stepping only, with findings similar between lower (β=-0.12 95%CI:-0.22, -0.02) and higher (β=-0.13 95%CI:-0.26, -0.01) risk groups. Varying the composition had minimal impact on FPG; however one hour less sitting time and equivalent increase in standing time was associated with attenuated FPG levels in higher risk only (Δ FPG%= -1.4% 95%CI: -1.7, -1.2). Large differences in 2hPLG were observed for both groups when varying the composition. One hour less sitting with equivalent increase in stepping was associated with attenuated 2hPLG, with estimations similar in lower (Δ 2hPLG%= -4.0% 95%CI: -4.7, -3.2) and higher (Δ 2hPLG%= -4.9% 95%CI: -5.9, -3.9) risk for diabetes. Conclusions: In middle-aged and older adults, glycaemic control could be improved by reducing daily sitting time and replacing it with stepping. Standing could also be beneficial for those at higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

description: We are studying quantum corrections in the earlier proposed string theory based on world-sheet action which measures the linear sizes of the surfaces. At classical level the string tension is equal to zero and as it was demonstrated in the previous studies one loop correction to the classical world-sheet action generates Nambu-Goto area term, that is nonzero string tension. We extend this analysis computing the world-sheet effective action in the second order of the loop expansion.

description: We consider networks of dynamical units that evolve in time according to different laws, and are coupled to each other in highly irregular ways. Studying how to steer the dynamics of such systems towards a desired evolution is of great practical interest in many areas of science, as well as providing insight into the interplay between network structure and dynamical behavior. We propose a pinning protocol for imposing specific dynamic evolutions compatible with the equations of motion on a networked system. The method does not impose any restrictions on the local dynamics, which may vary from node to node, nor on the interactions between nodes, which may adopt in principle any nonlinear mathematical form and be represented by weighted, directed or undirected, links. We first explore our method on small synthetic networks of chaotic oscillators, which allows us to unveil a correlation between the ordered sequence of pinned nodes and their topological influence in the network. We then consider a 12-species trophic web network, which is a model of a mammalian food web. By pinning a relatively small number of species, one can make the system abandon its spontaneous evolution from its (typically uncontrolled) initial state towards a target dynamics, or periodically control it so as to make the populations evolve within stipulated bounds. The relevance of these findings for environment management and conservation is discussed.

In this note, the rank of a wild algebra is introduced. The Wild-Rank Conjecture, which implies the Tame-Open Conjecture, is formulated. The Wild-Rank Conjecture is improved to the Basic-Wild-Rank Conjecture. A covering criterion on the rank of a basic wild algebra is given, which can be effectively applied to verify the Basic-Wild-Rank Conjecture for concrete algebras. It makes all conjectures much reliable.

description: When a composite of nonlinear particles suspended in a host medium is subjected to a sinusoidal electric field, the electrical response in the composite will generally consist of alternating current (AC) fields at frequencies of higher-order harmonics. The situation becomes more interesting when the suspended particles are graded, with a spatial variation in the dielectric properties. The local electric field inside the graded particles can be calculated by the differential effective dipole approximation, which agrees very well with a first-principles approach. In this work, a nonlinear differential effective dipole approximation and a perturbation expansion method have been employed to investigate the effect of gradation on the nonlinear AC responses of these composites. The results showed that the fundamental and third-harmonic AC responses are sensitive to the dielectric-constant and/or nonlinear-susceptibility gradation profiles within the particles. Thus, by measuring the AC responses of the graded composites, it is possible to perform a real-time monitoring of the fabrication process of the gradation profiles within the graded particles.

description: Recent advances in distance-based protein folding have led to a paradigm shift in protein structure prediction. Through sufficiently precise estimation of the inter-residue distance matrix for a protein sequence, it is now feasible to predict the correct folds for new proteins much more accurately than ever before. Despite the exciting progress, a dedicated visualization system that can dynamically capture the distance-based folding process is still lacking. Most molecular visualizers typically provide only a static view of a folded protein conformation, but do not capture the folding process. Even among the selected few graphical interfaces that do adopt a dynamic perspective, none of them are distance-based. Here we present PolyFold, an interactive visual simulator for dynamically capturing the distance-based protein folding process through real-time rendering of a distance matrix and its compatible spatial conformation as it folds in an intuitive and easy-to-use interface. PolyFold integrates highly convergent stochastic optimization algorithms with on-demand customizations and interactive manipulations to maximally satisfy the geometric constraints imposed by a distance matrix. PolyFold is capable of simulating the complex process of protein folding even on modest personal computers, thus making it accessible to the general public for fostering citizen science. Open source code of PolyFold is freely available for download at https://github.com/Bhattacharya-Lab/PolyFold. It is implemented in cross-platform Java and binary executables are available for macOS, Linux, and Windows.

description: Background: Active interruptions to sitting time are beneficial for glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes. With recent movements towards less prescriptive physical activity and sedentary behaviour guidelines, it is relevant to determine whether the frequency of interruptions to sitting time is important for health. The optimal frequency of active interruptions to sitting time is yet to be examined when total activity time is standardized. Purpose: To examine whether the frequency of interruptions to sitting time involving simple resistance activities (SRAs), compared to uninterrupted sitting, differentially affected 22 h glycemic control in adults with medication-controlled type 2 diabetes (T2D). Methods: Twenty-four participants (13 men; mean±SD age 62±8 years) completed three 8 h laboratory conditions: SIT: uninterrupted sitting; SRA3: sitting interrupted with 3 min of SRAs every 30 min; and, SRA6: sitting interrupted with 6 min of SRAs every 60 min. Flash glucose monitors assessed glycemic control over a 22 h period. Results: No differences were observed between conditions for overall 22 h glycemic control as measured by AUCtotal, mean glucose and time in hyperglycemia. During the 3.5 h post-lunch period, mean glucose was significantly lower during SRA6 (10.1 mmol.L-1, 95%CI 9.2, 11.0) compared to SIT (11.1 mmol.L-1, 95%CI 10.2, 12.0; P = 0.006). Post-lunch iAUCnet was significantly lower during SRA6 (6.2 mmol.h.L-1, 95%CI 3.3, 9.1) compared to SIT (9.9 mmol.h.L-1, 95%CI 7.0, 12.9; P = 0.003). Time in hyperglycemia was significantly lower post-lunch during SRA6 (1.5 h, 95%CI 1.0, 1.9, P = 0.001) compared to SIT (2.2 h, 95%CI 1.7, 2.6). Nocturnal mean glucose was significantly lower following the SRA3 condition (7.6 mmol.L-1, 95%CI 7.1, 8.1) compared to SIT (8.1 mmol.L-1, 95%CI 7.6, 8.7, P = 0.024). Conclusions: With standardized total activity time, less-frequent active interruptions to sitting may acutely improve glycemic control; while more-frequent interruptions may be beneficial for nocturnal glucose in those with medication-controlled T2D. Funding: This research was supported by a Heart Foundation Vanguard Grant (Award no. 101449), a NHMRC Centre of Research Excellence grant #1057608, and the Victorian Government OIS scheme.

description: Background: Due to lack of time, opportunities for children to be physically active during their time in preschool are becoming increasingly compromised. Initiatives to change usual practices in preschools, using an integrative approach to physical and cognitive tasks, are needed. Purpose: A 6-week intervention program combining reading sessions and cognitively engaging physical activity aimed to improve preschool children’s executive function, numeracy, and physical activity. Methods: 145 children (3-5 years; 65 female) from 7 childcare centres were randomly allocated to one of three conditions, conducted twice per week, as a group activity: 1) a cognitively engaging physical activity condition, in which a story was told, stimulating children to perform physical activities and cognitive tasks, 2) a cognitive condition, in which a story was told, stimulating children to perform cognitive tasks, and 3) a control condition (i.e., storytelling only with no activities). Counting was embedded in all reading sessions for the 3 groups. Children were individually assessed at baseline and after 6 weeks. Results: Mixed ANOVA showed a significant Condition x Time interaction (F(2, 117) = 8.18, p < .001, eta squared = .12) for numeracy. Data on physical activity, executive function, and self-regulation are currently being analysed (finished by August 2021). Conclusions: Preliminary findings support the potential for the meaningful integration of physical and cognitive and skills to generate positive effects in children’s developmental progress. Funding: This study is supported by the UOW Vice Chancellor Postdoctoral Fellowship Award (individual grant).

description: Background: Automated wearable cameras present a new opportunity to accurately assess human behaviour. However, this technology is seldom used in the study of adolescent’s screen exposure and the field is reliant on poor quality, self-report data. Purpose: To examine adolescents’ screen exposure by categorising the type and context of behaviours using automated wearable cameras. Methods: Adolescents (15.4 ± 1.6 years; n=10) wore a camera for three school evenings and one weekend day. The camera captured an image every 10 seconds. Fieldwork was completed between February and March 2020, and data analysed in August 2020. Images were date and time-stamped and coded for screen type, content, and context. Results: Data representing 71,396 images were analysed. Overall, 74% of images contained screens and 16.8% of those images contained multiple screens. Most screen exposure involved television sets (36.3% of screen-based images), smartphones (29.2%), and laptop computers (21.4%). The context of screen use differed by device type, although most screen exposure occurred at home (96.3%) and with solitary engagement (83.9%). The immediate after-school period saw high laptop computer use (30%), while smartphone use (38.7%) peaked in the middle evening and pre-bedtime hours, respectively. Weekend screen exposure was high, with smartphone use (55.5%) peaking in the early morning period and fluctuating throughout the day. Conclusions: There was evidence for high screen use during the after-school and weekend period, mostly through solitary engagement, and within the home environment. Findings may inform the basis of larger studies aimed at examining screen exposure in free-living conditions. Funding: This research was supported by the Research Training Program – International Stipend and Tuition Fees Scholarship.

description: Background: Smartphones and wrist-worn devices have been becoming more popular for step counting purposes and physical activity promotion. However, the validity of these devices under free-living conditions has not been adequately determined. Purpose: To investigate the criterion validity of smartphones and activity trackers used in a nation-wide physical activity program under free living conditions. Methods: Participants (N=34), aged 21-31 years wore a waist-worn pedometer and seven different wrist-worn activity trackers continuously over three days. The number of step counts reflected on the participants smartphone for each of the three days was recorded at the end of the study. To establish criterion validity, smartphones and activity trackers were compared to the pedometer using Pearson’s correlation coefficient, mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) and Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC). Results: The mean reported wear time for the 34 participants across three days was 12.9 hours. All 34 participants had provided tracker data and 23 of them had provided valid smartphone data. On average, five out of the seven activity trackers underestimated step counts while the remaining two and the smartphone overestimated step counts. Criterion validity was consistently higher for the activity trackers (r=0.78-0.92; MAPE 14.5-36.1%; ICC: 0.51-0.91) than the smartphone (r=0.37; MAPE 55.7%; ICC: 0.36). Conclusions: The accuracy of using a smartphone for measuring step counts was substantially lower than that of using wrist-worn activity trackers. Other factors will need to be considered when using a smartphone to track step counts. Funding: Study funded by the Singapore Health Promotion Board.

description: Background: My E-Diary for Activities and Lifestyle (MEDAL) is an interactive web-based diary developed to collect time-use information from children aged 10 years and older. Purpose: To compare time spent in movement behaviours (moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, light physical activity, inactivity and sleep) between children’s self-report on MEDAL and by wrist-worn accelerometers. Methods: Children aged 10-11 years recorded their daily activities over four days, and wore an Actigraph accelerometer on their non-dominant wrist throughout the study. Accelerometer data were processed using GGIR 2.0. Spearman correlation coefficient and intraclass correlation coefficient were used to compare self-reported and accelerometer-measured time spent in each movement behaviour. Results: Among the participants (n=49), moderate-to-strong correlations were found between self-reported and accelerometer-measured MVPA (r=0.37, p<0.001), inactivity (r=0.36, p<0.001) and night sleep (r=0.58, p<0.001), while the correlation for LPA was poor (r=0.19, p=0.031). Agreement for all behaviours was poor (MVPA ICC=0.24, p=0.004; LPA ICC=0.19, p=0.019; inactivity ICC=0.29, p=0.001; night sleep ICC=0.45, p<0.001). Stronger correlation and agreement were found on weekdays for inactivity and night sleep, and on weekend days for MVPA and LPA. Conclusions: Children can be ranked by their self-reported MVPA, inactivity and night sleep on MEDAL, although actual time spent in these behaviours may differ from accelerometer-derived estimates; self-reported LPA warrant cautious interpretation. Observable differences in reporting accuracy exist between weekdays and weekend days.

Quantum Phase Diagrams of Matter-Field Hamiltonians I: Fidelity, Bures Distance, and Entanglement

description: A general procedure is established to calculate the quantum phase diagrams for finite matter-field Hamiltonian models. The minimum energy surface associated to the different symmetries of the model is calculated as a function of the matter-field coupling strengths. By means of the ground state wave functions, one looks for minimal fidelity or maximal Bures distance surfaces in terms of the parameters, and from them the critical regions of those surfaces characterize the finite quantum phase transitions. Following this procedure for $N_a=1$ and $N_a=4$ particles, the quantum phase diagrams are calculated for the generalised Tavis-Cummings and Dicke models of 3-level systems interacting dipolarly with $2$ modes of electromagnetic field. For $N_a=1$, the reduced density matrix of the matter allows us to determine the phase regions in a $2$-simplex (associated to a general three dimensional density matrix), on the different $3$-level atomic configurations, together with a measurement of the quantum correlations between the matter and field sectors. As the occupation probabilities can be measured experimentally, the existence of a quantum phase diagram for a finite system can be established.

description: The present research investigates the relationship of cognitive complexity-simplicity to consensus in occupational role perception between subordinate and. supervisor. The research literature indicates that role consensus for specified positions is seldom found, and. that such disparities are well-documented for various educational roles. A sample of elementary school teachers and their immediate supervisors from three southeastern Virginia school systems were administered the Role Dimension Profile Scale in order to measure the importance of various behavioral role statements. Average ratings per role dimension were computed and difference scores were obtained. for each individual teacher and his or her supervisor. Teachers were divided into cognitively complex and cognitively simple groups based upon their score on Bieri's grid-form version of Kelly's Role Construct Repertory Test. These two groups were then compared for differences in consensual agreement with their supervisors. Results indicate that cognitively complex individuals perceive their occupational roles more similarly with significant members of their role set, when such perceptions were based on a hierarchy of importance regarding expected role behaviors.

description: The goal of this paper is to discuss the link between the quantum phenomenon of Anderson localization on the one hand, and the parametric instability of classical linear oscillators with stochastic frequency on the other. We show that these two problems are closely related to each other. On the base of analytical and numerical results we predict under which conditions colored parametric noise suppresses the instability of linear oscillators.

Collapse Gradient-Curvature Coupling in Observer Field Theory (OFT): Technical Note v1.0
Creators: name: Pham, Thomas
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: This technical note introduces a foundational equation within the Observer Field Theory (OFT) framework, which establishes a direct relationship between spacetime curvature and the precision gradient of a collapse field. The formulation:

G∝1κcollapse⋅∣∇Φ∣2G \propto \frac{1}{\kappa_{\text{collapse}} \cdot |\nabla \Phi|^2}G∝κcollapse⋅∣∇Φ∣21

posits that emergent curvature arises not from stress-energy but from informational structure embedded in quantum collapse dynamics. This equation provides a novel mechanism for massless gravitational lensing, natural Planck-scale resolution bounds, and an alternative to Einstein’s source term. This document serves as a formal timestamp and declaration of authorship. All future uses or references to this formulation should cite this release.
