description: An ability to map seizure-generating brain tissue, i.e., the seizure onset zone (SOZ), without recording actual seizures could reduce the duration of invasive EEG monitoring for patients with drug-resistant epilepsy. A widely-adopted practice in the literature is to compare the incidence (events/time) of putative pathological electrophysiological biomarkers associated with epileptic brain tissue with the SOZ determined from spontaneous seizures recorded with intracranial EEG, primarily using a single biomarker. Clinical translation of the previous efforts suffers from their inability to generalize across multiple patients because of (a) the inter-patient variability and (b) the temporal variability in the epileptogenic activity. Here, we report an artificial intelligence-based approach for combining multiple interictal electrophysiological biomarkers and their temporal characteristics as a way of accounting for the above barriers and show that it can reliably identify seizure onset zones in a study cohort of 82 patients who underwent evaluation for drug-resistant epilepsy. Our investigation provides evidence that utilizing the complementary information provided by multiple electrophysiological biomarkers and their temporal characteristics can significantly improve the localization potential compared to previously published single-biomarker incidence-based approaches, resulting in an average area under ROC curve (AUC) value of 0.73 in a cohort of 82 patients. Our results also suggest that recording durations between ninety minutes and two hours are sufficient to localize SOZs with accuracies that may prove clinically relevant. The successful validation of our approach on a large cohort of 82 patients warrants future investigation on the feasibility of utilizing intra-operative EEG monitoring and artificial intelligence to localize epileptogenic brain tissue.

urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: FC341D9C-2CC1-4B4C-8E9B-629F7913DD46
Type species
Afrodonta acinaces Connolly, 1933.
Diagnosis
Shell small (max. diameter ± 1.8 mm), spire flat or weakly raised; umbilicus moderate to wide; whorls tightly coiled, strongly rounded apically and basally, less so at periphery; last adult whorl weakly descendant. Protoconch with fine, close-set, regularly spaced axial riblets; riblets crisp and simple, often with indistinct traces of irregular spiral threads in their intervals. Teleoconch also with fine, closeset axial riblets, but these coarser than those on protoconch; riblets compound, composed of several periostracal lamellae; intervals between riblets with finer intermediary axial threads; spiral sculpture absent or restricted to microscopic spiral threads. Aperture obliquely lunate, slightly wider basally; aperture variously furnished with parietal and palatal dentition in the form of denticles and/or in-running lamellae/ridges.
Etymology
From the Latin costa: a rib, diminutive costula, and donta: a contraction of Afrodonta; with reference to the axial sculpture of the protoconch. Gender feminine.
Remarks
Costulodonta gen. nov. is proposed for a group of species which share a costate protoconch and relatively coarse teleoconch sculpture of compound axial riblets with multiple fine intermediary axial threads. The genus is known only from the afrotemperate and mistbelt forests of the KwaZulu-Natal interior. Members of Afrodonta differ from Costulodonta gen. nov. in having a smooth protoconch and a silky teleoconch sculpture comprising simple axial riblets of alternating strength.

description: We report on a zero magnetic field transport study of a two-dimensional, variable-density, hole system in GaAs. As the density is varied we observe, for the first time in GaAs-based materials, a crossover from an insulating behavior at low-density, to a metallic-like behavior at high-density, where the metallic behavior is characterized by a large drop in the resistivity as the temperature is lowered. These results are in agreement with recent experiments on Si-based two-dimensional systems by Kravchenko et al. and others. We show that, in the metallic region, the resistivity is dominated by an exponential temperature-dependence with a characteristic temperature which is proportional to the hole density, and appear to reach a constant value at lower temperatures.

Subjects: subject: Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (cs.CV)

description: This paper presents a novel iterative deep learning framework and apply it for document enhancement and binarization. Unlike the traditional methods which predict the binary label of each pixel on the input image, we train the neural network to learn the degradations in document images and produce the uniform images of the degraded input images, which allows the network to refine the output iteratively. Two different iterative methods have been studied in this paper: recurrent refinement (RR) which uses the same trained neural network in each iteration for document enhancement and stacked refinement (SR) which uses a stack of different neural networks for iterative output refinement. Given the learned uniform and enhanced image, the binarization map can be easy to obtain by a global or local threshold. The experimental results on several public benchmark data sets show that our proposed methods provide a new clean version of the degraded image which is suitable for visualization and promising results of binarization using the global Otsu's threshold based on the enhanced images learned iteratively by the neural network.

description: We report very highly resolved photoemission spectra of NiS(1-x)Se(x) across the so-called metal-insulator transition as a function of temperature as well as composition. The present results convincingly demonstrate that the low temperature, antiferromagnetic phase is metallic, with a reduced density of states at E$_F$. This decrease is possibly due to the opening of gaps along specific directions in the Brillouin zone caused by the antiferromagnetic ordering.

description: Dark matter particles may decay, emitting photons. Drawing on the EAGLE family of hydrodynamic simulations of galaxy formation -- including the APOSTLE and C-EAGLE simulations -- we assess the systematic uncertainties and scatter on the decay flux from different galaxy classes, from Milky Way satellites to galaxy clusters, and compare our results to studies of the 3.55~keV line. We demonstrate that previous detections and non-detections of this line are consistent with a dark matter interpretation. For example, in our simulations the width of the the dark matter decay line for Perseus-analogue galaxy clusters lies in the range 1300-1700~\kms. Therefore, the non-detection of the 3.55~keV line in the centre of the Perseus cluster by the {\it Hitomi} collaboration is consistent with detections by other instruments. We also consider trends with stellar and halo mass and evaluate the scatter in the expected fluxes arising from the anisotropic halo mass distribution and from object-to-object variations. We provide specific predictions for observations with {\it XMM-Newton} and with the planned X-ray telescopes {\it XRISM} and {\it ATHENA}. If future detections of unexplained X-ray lines match our predictions, including line widths, we will have strong evidence that we have discovered the dark matter.

description: Network-based epidemic models have been extensively employed to understand the spread of infectious diseases, but have generally overlooked the fact that most realistic networks are dynamical rather than static. In this paper, we study a susceptible-infected-susceptible epidemic model with vaccination in a dynamical contact network of moving individuals, where we regard mobile individuals as random walkers that are allowed to perform long-range jumps. Different from previous studies of epidemics in a random walk network with a constant interaction radius, we consider the scenario where the individuals have a heterogeneous distribution of interaction radius $r$ and infected individuals are vaccinated with a probability depending on the interaction radius distribution. We derive the basic reproduction number $\mathcal{R}_0$ and explore the stability of disease-free and endemic equilibria of the model. Both theoretical and simulation results reveal that the distribution of individual interaction radius has significant effects on the basic reproduction number and the epidemic prevalence. In general, the disease will break out more readily in the population with a more heterogeneous radius distribution; however resulting in a lower epidemic prevalence. Interestingly, the results suggest that an optimal vaccination intervention for disease prevention and control is achievable regardless of the radius distribution. Furthermore, some interesting results on the structure of the underlying contact network are shown to have strong correlation with the epidemic dynamics. This study provides potential implications for developing efficient containment measures against infectious disease while considering the spatial constraints of moving individuals.

description: As a simple model for spin-Peierls systems we study a frustrated Heisenberg chain coupled to optical phonons. In view of the anorganic spin-Peierls compound CuGeO3 we consider two different mechanisms of spin-phonon coupling. Combining variational concepts in the adiabatic regime and perturbation theory in the anti-adiabatic regime we derive effective spin Hamiltonians which cover the dynamical effect of phonons in an approximate way. Ground-state phase diagrams of these models are determined, and the effect of frustration is discussed. Comparing the properties of the ground state and of low-lying excitations with exact diagonalization data for the full quantum spin phonon models, good agreement is found especially in the anti-adiabatic regime.

description: Internet in its current form poses some restrictions on the development of innovative architectures and services. In order for these restrictions to be avoided, it was decided that new technologies-methods will be executed simultaneously with the use of old ones in an experimental level in testbeds - virtual networks. These methods use the technique of virtualization, which is commonly used the last years in the era of information and communications technology and offer complete isolation between the innovative arhitectures and services and the existing ones. The use of virtualization introduces cloud computing whose functionality is relied on virtual networks that are software based. The researchers focus their interest on the federation of different platforms and services to control them more efficiently. In this diploma thesis, after describing thorougly the virtualization methods, we describe federation technologies that federate testbeds and also we examine how these technologies are applied in a research level such as NOVI Project.

description: We consider the back-reaction of quantum electrodynamics upon an electric field E(x_+) = - A'_-(x_+) which is parallel to x^3 and depends only on the lightcone coordinate x_+ = (x^0 + x^3)/\sqrt{2}. Novel features are that the mode functions have simple expressions for arbitrary A_-(x_+), and that one cannot ignore the usual lightcone ambiguity at zero + momentum. Each mode of definite canonical momenta k_+ experiences pair creation at the instant when its kinetic momentum p_+=k_+ - e A_-(x_+) vanishes, at which point operators from the surface at x_- =-\infty play a crucial role. Our formalism permits a more explicit and complete derivation of the rate of particle production than is usually given. We show that the system can be understood as the infinite boost limit of the analogous problem of an electric field which is homogeneous on surfaces of constant x^0.

description: The molecular ion ThF$^+$ is the species to be used in the next generation of search for the electron's Electric Dipole Moment (eEDM) at JILA. The measurement requires creating molecular ions in the eEDM sensitive state, the rovibronic ground state $^3Δ_1$, $v^+=0$, $J^+=1$. Survey spectroscopy of neutral ThF is required to identify an appropriate intermediate state for a Resonance Enhanced Multi-Photon Ionization (REMPI) scheme that will create ions in the required state. We perform broadband survey spectroscopy (from 13000 to 44000~cm$^{-1}$) of ThF using both Laser Induced Fluorescence (LIF) and $1+1'$ REMPI spectroscopy. We observe and assign 345 previously unreported vibronic bands of ThF. We demonstrate 30\% efficiency in the production of ThF$^+$ ions in the eEDM sensitive state using the $Ω= 3/2$ [32.85] intermediate state. In addition, we propose a method to increase the aforementioned efficiency to $\sim$100\% by using vibrational autoionization via core-nonpenetrating Rydberg states, and discuss theoretical and experimental challenges. Finally, we also report 83 vibronic bands of an impurity species, ThO.

description: We review recent simulation studies of interfaces between immiscible homopolymer phases. Special emphasis is given to the presentation of efficient simulation techniques and powerful methods of data analysis, such as the analysis of capillary wave spectra. Possible reasons for polymer incompatibility and ways to relate model dependent interaction parameters to an effective Flory Huggins parameter are discussed. Various interfaces are then considered and characterised with respect to their microscopic structure and thermodynamic properties. In particular, interfaces between homopolymers of equal or disparate stiffness are studied, interfaces containing diblock copolymers, and interfaces confined in thin films. The results are related to the phase behaviour of ternary homopolymer/copolymer systems, and to wetting transitions in thin films.

description: We prove a version of the Weak Gravity Conjecture for 6d F-theory or heterotic string compactifications with 8 supercharges. This sharpens our previous analysis by including massless scalar fields. The latter are known to modify the Weak Gravity Conjecture bound in two a priori independent ways: First, the extremality condition of a charged black hole is modified, and second, the test particles required to satisfy the Weak Gravity Conjecture are subject to additional Yukawa type interactions. We argue on general grounds that at weak coupling, the two types of effects are equivalent for a tower of asymptotically massless charged test particles predicted by the Swampland Distance Conjecture. We then specialise to F-theory compactified on elliptic Calabi-Yau three-folds and prove that the precise numerical bound on the charge-to-mass ratio is satisfied at weak coupling. This amounts to an intriguing coincidence of two a priori different notions of extremality, namely one based on the balance of gauge, gravitational and scalar forces for extremal (non-BPS) black holes, and the other encoded in the modular properties of certain Jacobi forms. In the presence of multiple abelian gauge group factors, the elliptic genus counting these states is a lattice quasi-Jacobi form of higher rank, and we exemplify this in a model with two abelian gauge group factors.

description: Extensive cohort studies have explored the hazards of PM2.5 to human respiratory health; however, the molecular mechanisms for PM2.5 carcinogenesis are poorly understood. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in various pathophysiological processes. In the present study, we investigated the effect of PM2.5 on the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in lung bronchial epithelial cells and the underlying mechanisms mediated by an lncRNA. Organic extracts of PM2.5 from Shanghai were used to treat human bronchial epithelial cell lines (HBE and BEAS-2B). The PM2.5 organic extracts induced the EMT and cell transformation. High levels of metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1), mediated by NF-kB, were involved in the EMT process. For both cell lines, there was a similar response. In addition, MALAT1 interacted with miR-204 and reversed the inhibitory effect of its target gene, ZEB1, thereby contributing to the EMT and malignant transformation. In sum, these findings show that NF-kB transcriptionally regulates MALAT1, which, by binding with miR-204 and releasing ZEB1, promotes the EMT. These results offer an understanding of the regulatory network of the PM2.5-induced EMT that relates to the health risks associated with PM2.5.

Type species
Iterodonta ammonita gen. et sp. nov.
Diagnosis
Shell small (max. diameter ± 1.7 mm), shallowly and symmetrically biconcave; umbilicus very wide; whorls tightly coiled; last adult whorl not descendant. Protoconch initially with traces of close-set spiral threads, later portion with spiral threads and close-set axial riblets producing a fine, reticulate sculpture; teleoconch with fine, close-set, axial riblets; riblets compound, composed of several periostracal lamellae; intervals between riblets with fine, uneven, intermediary axial threads and fine spiral threads. Aperture narrowly and symmetrically lunate; parietal dentition absent; palatal region with 1–3 broad, prosocline, axial ridge-like calluses.
Etymology
From the Latin itero, iteratus: repeat, repeated; and the Greek odontos (ΟΔΟντΟς): tooth; with reference to the episodic deposition and resorption of the palatal dentition. Gender feminine.
Remarks
Iterodonta gen. nov. is distinctive on account of its reticulate protoconch, relatively strong spiral sculpture on the teleoconch and prosocline palatal calluses.

description: Nearly a 50% decrease of resistivity ρ(T,x) due to just 4% Cu doping on the Mn site of La(2/3)Ca(1/3)Mn(1-x)Cu(x)O(3) is observed. Attributing the observed phenomenon to the substitution induced decrease of the spin polaron energy E_s(x) below the Curie point T_C(x)=T_C(0)(1-x), all data are found to be well fitted by the nonthermal coherent tunneling expression ρ(T,x) = ρ_0*exp(-γM^2(T,x)) assuming M(T,x)=M_R(x)+M_0(x)*tanh{\sqrt{[T_C(x)/T]^2-1}} for the magnetization in the ferromagnetic state. The best fits through all the data points yield M_0(x)= \sqrt(1-x)M_0(0), M_R(x)=\sqrt(x)M_0(0), and E_s(x)=E_s(0)(1-x)^4 for the Cu induced modifications of the Mn spins dominated zero-temperature spontaneous magnetization, the residual paramagnetic contribution, and spin-polaron energy, respectively, with E_s(0)=0.12 eV.

description: NASA and other astrophysical data of the Cassiopeia A supernova remnant have been rendered into a three-dimensional virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) program, the first of its kind. This data-driven experience of a supernova remnant allows viewers to walk inside the leftovers from the explosion of a massive star, select the parts of the supernova remnant to engage with, and access descriptive texts on what the materials are. The basis of this program is a unique 3D model of the 340-year old remains of a stellar explosion, made by combining data from the NASA Chandra X-ray Observatory, Spitzer Space Telescope, and ground-based facilities. A collaboration between the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory and Brown University allowed the 3D astronomical data collected on Cassiopeia A to be featured in the VR/AR program, which is an innovation in digital technologies with public, education, and research-based impacts.

description: Schwinger used an analytic continuation of the effective action to correctly compute the particle production rate per unit volume for QED in a uniform electric field. However, if one simply evaluates the one loop expectation value of the current operator using his propagator, the result is zero! We analyze this curious fact from the context of a canonical formalism of operators and states. The explanation turns out to be that Schwinger's propagator is not actually the expectation value of the time-ordered product of field operators in the presence of a time-independent state, although it is of course a Green's function. We compute the true propagator in the presence of a state which is empty at $x_+ = 0$ where $x_+ \equiv (x^0+x^3)/\sqrt{2}$ is the lightcone evolution parameter. Our result can be generalized to electric fields which depend arbitrarily on $x_+$.

description: Context. The 16 Myr old star 1SWASP J140747.93-394542.6 (V1400 Cen) underwent a series of complex eclipses in May 2007, interpreted as the transit of a giant Hill sphere filling debris ring system around a secondary companion, J1407b. No other eclipses have since been detected, although other measurements have constrained but not uniquely determined the orbital period of J1407b. Finding another eclipse towards J1407 will help determine the orbital period of the system, the geometry of the proposed ring system and enable planning of further observations to characterize the material within these putative rings. Aims. We carry out a search for other eclipses in photometric data of J1407 with the aim of constraining the orbital period of J1407b. Methods. We present photometry from archival photographic plates from the Harvard DASCH survey, and Bamberg and Sonneberg Observatories, in order to place additional constraints on the orbital period of J1407b by searching for other dimming and eclipse events. Using a visual inspection of all 387 plates and a period-folding algorithm we performed a search for other eclipses in these data sets. Results. We find no other deep eclipses in the data spanning from 1890 to 1990, nor in recent time-series photometry from 2012-2018. Conclusions. We rule out a large fraction of putative orbital periods for J1407b from 5 to 20 years. These limits are still marginally consistent with a large Hill sphere filling ring system surrounding a brown dwarf companion in a bound elliptical orbit about J1407. Issues with the stability of any rings combined with the lack of detection of another eclipse, suggests that J1407b may not be bound to J1407.
