description: INTRODUCTION: In 2015, 4062 unaccompanied minor refugees were registered in Berlin, Germany. According to national policies, basic clinical examination and tuberculosis (TB) screening is a prerequisite to admission to permanent accommodation and schooling for every refugee. This article evaluates the use of an interferon-γ-release-assay (IGRA) during the initial examination and TB screening of 970 unaccompanied minor refugees. RESULTS: IGRA test were obtained during TB screening for 301 (31.0%) of 970 adolescents not previously screened for TB. Positive IGRA results were obtained in 13.9% (42/301). Most of the 42 IGRA-positive refugees originated from Afghanistan or Syria (n?20 and 10 respectively). Two IGRA-positive adolescents were lost to follow-up, 2 were diagnosed with TB and the remaining 38 diagnosed with latent TB infection (LTBI). Demographic features of the 40 patients with positive IGRA result were as follows: 39 male, median age 16.8 years (IQR 16.0-17.2y), none meeting underweight criteria (median BMI 21.3kg/m2). On initial chest X-ray 2/40 participants had signs of active TB, while in 38 active disease was excluded and the diagnosis of latent TB infection (LTBI) made. Active hepatitis B-co-infection was diagnosed in 3/38 patients. All patients with LTBI received Isoniazid and Rifampicin for 3 months without occurrence of severe adverse events. The most frequently observed side effect was transient upper abdominal pain (n = 5). Asymptomatic elevation of liver transaminases was seen in 2 patients. 29 patients completed treatment with no signs of TB disease at the end of chemoprevention and 9 were lost to follow up. CONCLUSION: Screening for TB infection in minor refugees was feasible in our setting with a relatively high rate of TB infection detected. Chemopreventive treatment was tolerated well regardless of underlying hepatitis-B-status. Minor refugees migrating to Germany should be screened for TB infection, instead of TB disease only, regardless of the background TB incidence.

description: The total cross sections of the radiative proton capture on 8Li at astrophysical energies were considered in the framework of the modified potential cluster model with forbidden states, with the classification of the orbital cluster states according to Young diagrams. The recalculation of total cross sections for the 9Be(γ,p0)8Li photodisintegration was used as experimental data. In whole, it is possible to obtain the available data on cross sections at energies to 7.0 MeV. Astrophysical S-factors and reaction rates at the temperature range of 0.01 to 10 T9 were calculated. It was shown that the resonances in the p8Li scattering channel considerably influence to the reaction rate and, in the first place, the first - at 87 keV. The analytical parametrization was obtained for calculated reaction rate.

description: This in-vitro study compares the shock absorption qualities of five mouthguard designs measured with a triangulation laser sensor during small hard object collisions. The aim was to investigate the impact of different labial designs on mouthguard performance. METHODS: Five different custom-fabricated ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) types of mouthguards with varying thickness and different labial inserts (polyethylene terephthalate glycol-modified (PETG), nylon mesh, air space) were tested with a triangulation laser sensor during different energy blows, generated with a pendulum testing device. The pendulum hits were applied to the center of a pivoted tooth crown in a custom-built upper jaw model. Measurements were executed with the mouthguards on the model and with no mouthguard as a negative control. RESULTS: Tooth deflection was reduced with all mouthguards in comparison to no mouthguard. Increasing mouthguard thickness improved the mouthguards' shock absorption capacities. Also, adding labial inserts increased their preventive qualities in ascending order: Mouthguard with a soft insert (nylon mesh), a hard insert (PETG), air space plus a hard insert (PETG). CONCLUSION: Increasing EVA foil thickness of a mouthguard, increasing labial thickness, and adding labial inserts (soft, stiff and air space) improve mouthguard shock absorption capabilities during small hard object collisions, thereby improving dental trauma prevention.

description: Neutron scattering was used to determine the spin structure and the magnon spectrum of the Mott--Hubbard insulator YTiO$_3$. The magnetic structure is complex, comprising substantial G-type and A-type antiferromagnetic components in addition to the predominant ferromagnetic component. The magnon spectrum, on the other hand, is gapless and nearly isotropic. We show that these findings are inconsistent with the orbitally ordered states thus far proposed for YTiO$_3$ and discuss general implications for a theoretical description of exchange interactions in orbitally degenerate systems.

description: In 2007, the first prototype of the Fixteri bundle harvester capable of incorporating whole-tree compaction into the cutting phase was launched by Biotukki Oy. The bundles are hauled by a standard forwarder to the roadside storage, from where pulpwood bundles are transported by a standard timber truck to the end-use facility. At the puplmill, bundle batches are fed into a wood flow consisting of conventional delimbed pulpwood. Separation of the pulp and energy fractions does not take place until the wood reaches the debarking drum. Energy wood bundles are crushed and used for energy generation. In the pre-feasibility study carried out by Metsäteho Oy and the Finnish Forest Research Institute, the required performance level of bundle harvesting (i.e. cutting and bundling) of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) dominated stands was determined by comparing the total supply chain costs with most common pulpwood and energy wood supply chains. The system analysis showed that whole-tree bundling enables the reduction of procurement costs below the current cost level of separate pulpwood and energy wood procurement in early thinnings. The greatest cost-saving potential lies in small-diameter (d1.3 = 7–10 cm) first-thinning stands.

description: Liquid xenon (LXe) is a well-studied detector medium to search for rare events in dark matter and neutrino physics. Two-phase xenon time projection chambers (TPCs) can detect electronic and nuclear recoils with energy down to kilo-electron volts (keV). In this paper, we characterize the response of a single-phase liquid xenon proportional scintillation counter (LXePSC), which produces electroluminescence directly in the liquid, to detect electronic recoils at low energies. Our design uses a thin (10 - 25 $μ$m diameter), central anode wire in a cylindrical LXe target where ionization electrons, created from radiation particles, drift radially towards the anode, and electroluminescence is produced. Both the primary scintillation (S1) and electroluminescence (S2) are detected by photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) surrounding the LXe target. Up to 17 photons are produced per electron, obtained with a 10 $μ$m diameter anode wire, allowing for the highly efficient detection of electronic recoils from beta decays of a tritium source down to roughly 1 keV. Single electrons, from photo-emission of the cathode wires, are observed at a gain of 1.8 photoelectrons (PE) per electron. The delayed signals following the S2 signals are dominated by single-photon-like hits, without evidence for electron signals observed in the two-phase xenon TPCs. We discuss the potential application of such a LXePSC for reactor neutrino detection via Coherent Elastic Neutrino Nucleus Scattering (CE$ν$NS).

description: AIM: Purpose of this study was to evaluate the association of the spatial heterogeneity (asphericity, ASP) in intra-therapeutic SPECT/ CT imaging of somatostatin receptor (SSR) positive metastatic gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (GEP-NEN) for morphological treatment response to peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT). Secondly, we correlated ASP derived form a pre-therapeutic OctreoScan (ASP[In]) and an intra-therapeutic [177Lu]-SPECT/CT (ASP[Lu]). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Data from first therapy cycle [177Lu-DOTA0-Tyr3]octreotate ([177Lu]-DOTATATE)-PRRT was retrospectively analyzed in 33 patients (m = 20; w = 13; median age, 72 [46-88] years). The evaluation of response to PRRT was performed according to RECIST 1.1 in responding lesions [RL (SD, PR, CR), n = 104] and non-responding lesions [NRL (PD), n = 27]. The association of SSR tumor heterogeneity with morphological response was evaluated by Kruskal-Wallis test and receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC). The optimal threshold for separation (RL vs. NRL) was calculated using the Youden-index. Relationship between pre- and intra-therapeutic ASP was determined with Spearman's rank correlation coefficient (ρ) and Bland-Altman plots. RESULTS: A total of 131 lesions (liver: n = 59, lymph nodes: n = 48, bone: n = 19, pancreas: n = 5) were analyzed. Lesions with higher ASP values showed a significantly poorer response to PRRT (PD, median: 11.3, IQR: 8.5-15.5; SD, median: 3.4, IQR: 2.1-4.5; PR, median 1.7, IQR: 0.9-2.8; CR, median: 0.5, IQR: 0.0-1.3); Kruskal-Wallis, p<0.001). ROC analyses revealed a significant separation between RL and NRL for ASP after 4 months (AUC 0.85, p<0.001) and after 12 months (AUC 0.94, p<0.001). The optimal threshold for ASP was >5.45% (sensitivity 96% and specificity 82%). The correlation coefficient of pre- and intra-therapeutic ASP revealed ρ = 0.72 (p <0.01). The mean absolute difference between ASP[In] and ASP[Lu] was -0.04 (95% Limits of Agreement, -6.1-6.0). CONCLUSION: Pre- and intra-therapeutic ASP shows a strong correlation and might be an useful tool for therapy monitoring.

It requires off-shell improvement of quark fields and composite operators, which is achieved by studying the behaviour of quark and gluon correlation functions at large momenta.

description: Although malnutrition is frequent in the old, little is known about its association with fatigue. We evaluated the relation of self-reported severe weight loss with fatigue and the predictors for fatigue in old patients at hospital discharge. Severe weight loss was defined according to involuntary weight loss ≥5% in the last three months. We determined fatigue with the validated Brief Fatigue Inventory questionnaire. The regression analyses were adjusted for age, sex, number of comorbidities, medications/day, and BMI. Of 424 patients aged between 61 and 98 y, 34.1% had severe weight loss. Fatigue was higher in patients with severe weight loss (3.7 ± 2.3 vs. 3.2 ± 2.3 points, p = 0.021). In a multinomial regression model, weight loss was independently associated with higher risk for moderate fatigue (OR:1.172, CI:1.026-1.338, p = 0.019) and with increased risk for severe fatigue (OR:1.209, CI:1.047-1.395, p = 0.010) together with the number of medications/day (OR:1.220, CI:1.023-1.455, p = 0.027). In a binary regression model, severe weight loss predicted moderate-to-severe fatigue in the study population (OR:1.651, CI:1.052-2.590, p = 0.029). In summary, patients with self-reported severe weight loss at hospital discharge exhibited higher fatigue levels and severe weight loss was an independent predictor of moderate and severe fatigue, placing these patients at risk for impaired outcome in the post-hospital period.

description: Introduction: Systematic training is an essential demand for the individual success of an athlete. However, similar training modalities cause individual responses, and finally, decide on athletes' success or failure. To predict performance development, potential influencing parameters should be known. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to identify performance-related parameters in young competitive athletes. Methods: Individual performance developments of 146 young athletes (m: n = 96, f: n = 50, age V1: 14.7 ± 1.7 years) of four different sports (soccer: n = 45, cycling: n = 48, swimming: n = 18, cross-country skiing: n = 35) were evaluated by analysis of 356 visits in total (exercise intervention periods, 289 ± 112 d). At V1 and V2 several performance parameters were determined. Based on the relative performance progress (Δ), potential influencing predictors were analyzed: training load, health sense, stress level, clinical complaints, hemoglobin, vitamin D, hs-CRP and EBV serostatus. Data were collected within a controlled, prospective study on young athletes, which was conducted between 2010 and 2014. Results: Athletes improved their performance by 4.7 ± 10.7%. In total, 66.3% of all athletes represented a positive performance progress. This group demonstrated, despite similar training loads (p = 0.207), enhanced health senses (p = 0.001) and lower stress levels (p = 0.002). In contrast, compared to athletes with an impaired performance progress, no differences in hemoglobin values (m: p = 0.926, f: p = 0.578), vitamin D levels (0.787) and EBV serostatus (p = 0.842) were found. Performance progress was dependent on extents of health senses (p = 0.040) and stress levels (p = 0.045). Furthermore, the combination of declined health senses and rised stress levels was associated with an impaired performance development (p = 0.018) and higher prevalences of clinical complaints (p < 0.001) above all, in contrast to hs-CRP (p = 0.168). Discussion: Athletes with an improved performance progress reported less pronounced subjective sensations and complaints. In contrast, objective known performance-related indicators, offered no differences. Therefore, subjective self-reported data, reflecting health and stress status, should be additionally considered to regulate training, modify intensities, and finally, predict and ensure an optimal performance advance.

description: Motivated by recent discoveries of flow-like effects in pp collisions, and noting that multiple string systems can form and hadronize simultaneously in such collisions, we develop a simple model for the repulsive interaction between two Lund strings with a positive (colour-oriented) overlap in rapidity. The model is formulated in momentum space and is based on a postulate of a constant net transverse momentum being acquired per unit of overlap along a common rapidity direction. To conserve energy, the strings shrink in the longitudinal direction, essentially converting a portion of the string invariant mass $m^2$ into $p_{\perp}^2$ for constant $m_{\perp}^2 = m^2 + p_{\perp}^2$ for each string. The reduction in string invariant mass implies a reduced overall multiplicity of produced hadrons; the increase in $p_{\perp}^2$ is local and only affects hadrons in the overlapping region. Starting from the simplest case of two symmetric and parallel strings with massless endpoints, we generalize to progressively more complicated configurations. We present an implementation of this model in the Pythia event generator and use it to illustrate the effects on hadron $p_{\perp}$ distributions and dihadron azimuthal correlations, contrasting it with the current version of the "shoving" model implemented in the same generator.

description: Purpose: Credible data is scarce in representative population aged ≥18 years, though hypertension is highly prevalent and poorly controlled in population aged ≥30 years in Xinjiang Northwest China. Therefore, we tried to provide data on hypertension status for reference. Materials and methods: We conducted a population-based cross-sectional survey between 2014 and 2015 using stratified multi-stage random sampling as part of a national survey. Hypertension is defined as systolic blood pressure (BP) ≥140 mmHg, and/or diastolic BP ≥90 mmHg and/or taking anti-hypertensive agents. We assessed prevalence, awareness, treatment and control rates of hypertension by rural and urban regions, by gender and by ethnicity, and related factors including agent prescription pattern. Results: Data for 6807 subjects ≥18 years with 79.2% rural and 52.0% women subjects are analyzed. Overall age-adjusted prevalence of hypertension in population aged ≥18 years is 22.2%, and shows no disparity between genders and regions. By ethnicity, the prevalence of hypertension was the highest in Tajik subjects (25.4%), followed by Mongolian (25.3%) and Kazakh (24.8%) subjects and the lowest in Kyrgyz (20.2%) subjects. Of the hypertensives, 55.5% have awareness, 43.9% receive anti-hypertensive treatment, whereas only 14.5% have their BP controlled. In different ethnic groups, the awareness, control and control in treatment rates showed no significant disparities, except for the treatment rate. It was the highest in Kazakh subjects (50.0%) and the lowest in Hui subjects (36.7%). The most common prescribed agent encompassed ACEI/ARBs (41.1%) and calcium channel blockers (30.4%). Over 87.2% of hypertensives were prescribed for single drug regimen. Conclusions: Hypertension is moderately prevalent in Xinjiang, whereas poorly controlled. Standardization of its treatment such as introducing treatment algorithm might be the priorities for future improvement, with healthy life promotion.

description: The covariant form of the non-Abelian gauge anomaly on noncommutative R2n is computed for U(N) groups. Its origin and properties are analyzed. Its connection with the consistent form of the gauge anomaly is established. We show along the way that bi-fundamental $U(N)\times U(M)$ chiral matter carries no mixed anomalies, and interpret this result as a consequence of the half-dipole structure which characterizes the charged non-commutative degrees of freedom.

description: The cross section for p-$^{11}$Li inelastic scattering at 68 MeV/u is evaluated using the Multiple Scattering expansion of the total Transition amplitude (MST) formalism, and compared with the breakup in the shakeoff approximation. Three different potential models for $^{11}$Li are used to calculate the $^{11}$Li(p,p$'$) continuum excitations, and all show peaks below 3 MeV of excitation energy, both in resonant and some non-resonant channels. In the most realistic model of $^{11}$Li, there is a strong dipole contribution associated with attractive but not a fully-fledged resonant phase shifts, and some evidence for a J$_{nn}^π= 0_2^+$ resonant contribution. These together form a pronounced peak at around 1--2 MeV excitation, in agreement with experiment, and this supports the use of the MST as an adequate formalism to study excited modes of two-neutron nuclear halos.

description: Quasicrystals can carry, in addition to the classical phonon displacement field, a phason displacement field, which requires a generalized theory of elasticity. In this paper, the third-order strain invariants (including phason strain) of icosahedral quasicrystals are determined. They are connected with 20 independent third-order elastic constants. By means of non-linear elasticity, phason strains with icosahedral irreducible Gamma^4-symmetry can be obtained by phonon stress, which is impossible in linear elasticity.

description: We study the steady state distribution of the energy of the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model driven by a tapping mechanism which mimics the mechanically driven dynamics of granular media. The dynamics consists of two phases: a zero temperature relaxation phase which leads the system to a metastable state, then a tapping which excites the system thus reactivating the relaxational dynamics. Numerically we investigate whether the distribution of the energies of the blocked states obtained agrees with a simple canonical form of the Edwards measure. It is found that this canonical measure is in good agreement with the dynamically measured energy distribution. A possible experimental test of the Edwards measure based on the study here is proposed.

We consider three two-loop diagrams: the scalar massless non-planar double-box with six propagators and the scalar pentabox in two cases, where six virtual particles have the same mass and in the case where all of them are massless. Our results are given in terms hypergeometric functions of Mandelstam variables and for arbitrary exponents of propagators and dimension $D$ as well.

description: Optical and near-IR Hubble Space Telescope and Gemini-North adaptive optics images, further improved through deconvolution, are used to explore the gravitationally lensed radio source PKS 1830-211. The line of sight to the quasar at z=2.507 appears to be very busy, with the presence, within 0.5 arcsec from the source of: (i) a possible galactic main-sequence star, (ii) a faint red lensing galaxy visible only in H-band and (iii) a new object whose colors and morphology match those of an almost face-on spiral. The V-I color and faint I magnitude of the latter suggest that it is associated with the molecular absorber seen towards PKS 1830-211, at z=0.89 rather than with the z=0.19 HI absorber previously reported in the spectrum of PKS 1830-211. While this discovery might ease the interpretation of the observed absorption lines, it also complicates the modeling of the lensing potential well, hence decreasing the interest in using this system as a mean to measure H_0 through the time delay between the lensed images. This is the first case of a quasar lensed by an almost face-on spiral galaxy.

description: We study the influence of strong magnetic fields in hybrid stars, composed by hadrons and a pure quark matter core, and analyse their structure and stability as well as some possible evolution channels due to the magnetic field decay. Using an ad-hoc parametrisation of the magnetic field strength and taking into account Landau-quantization effects in matter, we calculate hybrid magnetised equations of state and some associated quantities, such as particle abundances and matter magnetisation, for different sets of parameters and different magnetic field strengths. Moreover, we compute the magnetised stable stellar configurations, the mass versus radius and the gravitational mass versus central energy density relationships, the gravitational mass versus baryon mass diagram, and the tidal deformability. Our results are in agreement with both, the $\sim 2M_\odot$ pulsars and the data obtained from GW170817. In addition, we study the stability of stellar configurations assuming that slow and rapid phase transitions occur at the sharp hadron-quark interface. We find that, unlike in the rapid transition scenario, where $\partial M/\partial ε_c < 0$ is a sufficient condition for instability, in the slow transition scenario there exists a connected extended stable branch beyond the maximum mass star, for which $\partial M/\partial ε_c < 0$. Finally, analysing the gravitational mass versus baryon mass relationship, we have calculated the energy released in transitions between stable stellar configurations. We find that the inclusion of the magnetic field and the existence of new stable branches allows the possibility of new channels of transitions that fulfil the energy requirements to explain Gamma Ray Bursts.

description: Using input-output –method, this study evaluates income and employment effects of Russian customs programme for roundwood exports on both the wood working and the pulp and paper industry in Eastern Finland. In 2006, the shares of domestic and imported roundwood of the total wood use in Eastern Finland were 58 and 42 percent, respectively. Four different scenarios of roundwood import reduction and two different possibilities to increase domestic roundwood procurement were analysed. Due to lack of data, similar effects for the Republic of Karelia were calculated using two alternative scenarios to compensate reducing exports. The results indicate that forest industry, together with multiplier effects on other sectors, in Eastern Finland is facing considerable structural changes if the custom tariffs programme for roundwood exports from Russia is fulfilled. The key issue for the development of employment and incomes in Eastern Finland’s forest industry is how the domestic wood procurement or roundwood imports from other countries can be increased to compensate the Russian roundwood imports. In the worst scenario with only limited possibilities to increase domestic wood procurement, unemployment will increase nearly six thousand and value of production will decrease even by two milliard euros. Even if domestic wood procurement can compensate the reducing roundwood export amounts to some extent, the employment will decrease by few hundreds of employees and the loss in production value will be in the range of tens of thousands millions to over one hundred million euros. The corresponding results for the Republic of Karelia due to the decreasing roundwood exports indicate also considerable increasing unemployment and decreasing value of output in regional economy, if the domestic production capacity especially in mechanical wood working industry is not able to increase production volumes. The unrealistic scenario, where mechanical wood working industry is able to double its production, results neutral effects.

description: It has been suggested in recent work that the Page curve of Hawking radiation can be recovered using computations in semi-classical gravity provided one allows for "islands" in the gravity region of quantum systems coupled to gravity. The explicit computations so far have been restricted to black holes in two-dimensional Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity. In this note, we numerically construct a five-dimensional asymptotically AdS geometry whose boundary realizes a four-dimensional Hartle-Hawking state on an eternal AdS black hole in equilibrium with a bath. We also numerically find two types of extremal surfaces: ones that correspond to having or not having an island. The version of the information paradox involving the eternal black hole exists in this setup, and it is avoided by the presence of islands. Thus, recent computations exhibiting islands in two-dimensional gravity generalize to higher dimensions as well.

description: Dianthin enzymes belong to ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) of type 1, i.e., they only consist of a catalytic domain and do not have a cell binding moiety. Dianthin-30 is very similar to saporin-S3 and saporin-S6, two RIPs often used to design targeted toxins for tumor therapy and already tested in some clinical trials. Nevertheless, dianthin enzymes also exhibit differences to saporin with regard to structure, efficacy, toxicity, immunogenicity and production by heterologous expression. Some of the distinctions might make dianthin more suitable for targeted tumor therapies than other RIPs. The present review provides an overview of the history of dianthin discovery and illuminates its structure, function and role in targeted toxins. It further discusses the option to increase the efficacy of dianthin by endosomal escape enhancers.

description: The study presents information about Swedish engineers’ and architects’ main considerations in material selection. It describes the material selection process, including perceptions of wood compared to other materials, the influences of main stakeholders, and how wood construction relates to professional roles and career prospects. Issues related to knowledge about wood as a material, the position wood construction has in the Swedish education and recent developments in wood-based construction techniques are also highlighted. Finally, we present the needs architects and engineers have of wood suppliers. Our results are translated in a number of improvements to increase wood as a construction material in large-scale construction.

description: Fusion-fission dynamics is investigated with a special emphasis on fusion reactions at low energy for which shell effects and pairing correlations can play a crucial role leading in particular to multi-modal fission. To follow the dynamical evolution of an excited and rotating nucleus we solve a 2-dimensional Langevin equation taking explicitly light-particle evaporation into account. The confrontation theory-experiment is demonstrated to give interesting information on the model presented, its qualities as well as its shortcomings.

description: Le but de cette recherche était d’évaluer au moyen de relevés comportementaux (tâches d’identification et de discrimination) et électrophysiologiques (potentiels exogènes auditifs) l’impact que pourrait avoir un entraînement de type identification (/də/ ou /tə/) sur la perception catégorielle (Liberman et al. 1957) de syllabes issues d’un continuum de voisement. Le français possède la particularité de présenter une distinction entre les valeurs des frontières phonétiques universelles, centrées sur -30 et +30 ms de V.O.T. (Lisker & Abramson, 1964 et Abramson & Lisker, 1970) et la valeur de la frontière phonologique, centrée sur 0 ms de V.O.T. (Serniclaes, 1987). Nous avons donc décidé de proposer deux types d’entraînement : certains sujets ont reçu un entraînement ciblé sur la frontière phonétique de -30 ms de V.O.T., d’autres sur une frontière arbitraire de -45 ms de V.O.T. n’existant dans aucune langue. Cette procédure consistait pour les deux groupes en 5 séances d’une heure tous les deux jours. Ces derniers ont été comparés à un groupe de contrôle ne subissant aucun entraînement. Lors du post-test, la tâche d’identification a montré une diminution du nombre de réponses /də/ pour les valeurs -15 et +15 ms de V.O.T., indiquant un déplacement de la frontière vers la partie négative du continuum pour les deux groupes entraînés. Le groupe de contrôle quant à lui ne montrait aucun changement significatif entre la séance de pré-test et la séance de post-test. Pour la tâche de discrimination, le groupe entraîné sur -30 ms de V.O.T. présentait une tendance à l’augmentation des capacités discriminatives autour de la frontière phonologique francophone (0 ms de V.O.T.). Aucune modification significative du patron de réponses n’était observée pour le groupe d’entraînement centré sur -45 ms de V.O.T. et pour le groupe de contrôle. Les résultats électrophysiologiques quant à eux ont montré lors du post-test une augmentation de l’amplitude de la composante exogène P2 pour certaines de valeurs de V.O.T. En guise de conclusion, nos données témoignent d’une part de la possibilité de modifier dans une certaine mesure la valeur de la frontière phonologique du français. D’autre part, ces résultats reflètent également la plasticité du cortex auditif et la possibilité de modifier ses réponses à la suite d’un entraînement relativement bref.

description: We prove that a class of monotone finite volume schemes for scalar conservation laws with discontinuous flux converge at a rate of $\sqrt{Δx}$ in $\mathrm{L}^1$, whenever the flux is strictly monotone in $u$ and the spatial dependency of the flux is piecewise constant with finitely many discontinuities. We also present numerical experiments to illustrate the main result. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first proof of any type of convergence rate for numerical methods for conservation laws with discontinuous, nonlinear flux. Our proof relies on convergence rates for conservation laws with initial and boundary value data. Since those are not readily available in the literature we establish convergence rates in that case en passant in the Appendix.

Learning to Decouple Complex Systems

description: A complex system with cluttered observations may be a coupled mixture of multiple simple sub-systems corresponding to latent entities. Such sub-systems may hold distinct dynamics in the continuous-time domain; therein, complicated interactions between sub-systems also evolve over time. This setting is fairly common in the real world but has been less considered. In this paper, we propose a sequential learning approach under this setting by decoupling a complex system for handling irregularly sampled and cluttered sequential observations. Such decoupling brings about not only subsystems describing the dynamics of each latent entity but also a meta-system capturing the interaction between entities over time. Specifically, we argue that the meta-system evolving within a simplex is governed by projected differential equations (ProjDEs). We further analyze and provide neural-friendly projection operators in the context of Bregman divergence. Experimental results on synthetic and real-world datasets show the advantages of our approach when facing complex and cluttered sequential data compared to the state-of-the-art.
