description: Using several cosmological observations, i.e. the cosmic microwave background anisotropies (WMAP), the weak gravitational lensing (CFHTLS), the measurements of baryon acoustic oscillations (SDSS+WiggleZ), the most recent observational Hubble parameter data, the Union2.1 compilation of type Ia supernovae, and the HST prior, we impose constraints on the sum of neutrino masses ($\mnu$), the effective number of neutrino species ($\neff$) and dark energy equation of state ($w$), individually and collectively. We find that a tight upper limit on $\mnu$ can be extracted from the full data combination, if $\neff$ and $w$ are fixed. However this upper bound is severely weakened if $\neff$ and $w$ are allowed to vary. This result naturally raises questions on the robustness of previous strict upper bounds on $\mnu$, ever reported in the literature. The best-fit values from our most generalized constraint read $\mnu=0.556^{+0.231}_{-0.288}\rm eV$, $\neff=3.839\pm0.452$, and $w=-1.058\pm0.088$ at 68% confidence level, which shows a firm lower limit on total neutrino mass, favors an extra light degree of freedom, and supports the cosmological constant model. The current weak lensing data are already helpful in constraining cosmological model parameters for fixed $w$. The dataset of Hubble parameter gains numerous advantages over supernovae when $w=-1$, particularly its illuminating power in constraining $\neff$. As long as $w$ is included as a free parameter, it is still the standardizable candles of type Ia supernovae that play the most dominant role in the parameter constraints.

description: We report the results of a study exploring the stellar populations of 13 luminous (L>L*), spectroscopically confirmed, galaxies in the redshift interval 5.5= 300 Myr, the degeneracies introduced by dust extinction mean that only two of these objects actually require a >300 Myr old stellar population to reproduce the observed photometry. Moreover, when considering only smoothly-varying star-formation histories, we observe a clear tension between the data and models such that a galaxy SED template with an old age is often chosen in order to try and fit objects with blue UV-slopes but red UV-to-optical colours. To break this tension we explore SED fitting with two-component models (burst plus on-going star-formation) and allow for nebular emission. On average, the inclusion of nebular emission leads to lower stellar-mass estimates (median offset 0.18 dex), moderately higher specific star-formation rates, and allows for a wider range of plausible stellar ages. However, based on our SED modelling, we find no strong evidence for extremely young ages in our sample (<50 Myr). Finally, considering all of the different star-formation histories explored, we find that the median best-fitting ages are of the order 200-300 Myr and that the objects with the tightest constraints indicate ages in the range 50-200 Myr (Abridged).

description: The project explores decision making in the context of end-of-life (EOL) care choices among adults with few social and economic resources. Although most American adults believe that planning for EOL is important, only about 30% report making formal EOL plans such as Advance Directives, wills, trusts, or any other formal documentation. Using qualitative methodology, 25, participants who were all living at the same long term care facility, were interviewed during two different waves of data collection. The transcribed interviews were analyzed using thematic analysis and guided by Normative Rhetorical Theory framework. Remarkable conclusions were that without social and economic resources, participants reported they did not make choices about EOL and care, but rather their decisions were made by default.

description: J/psi suppression induced by color screening of its constituent quarks was proposed 26 years ago as a signature of the formation of a quark gluon plasma in heavy-ion collisions. Recent results from ALICE in Pb-Pb collisions exhibit a smaller suppression with respect to previous measurements at the SPS and RHIC. The study of azimuthal anisotropy in particle production gives information on the collective hydrodynamic expansion at the early stage of the fireball, where the matter created in high-energy nuclear collisions is expected to be in a deconfined state. In particular, J/psi elliptic flow v2 is important to test the degree of thermalization of heavy quarks. Together with the production yields, the elliptic flow is a powerful observable to address the question of suppression and regeneration of J/psi in QGP. We present the first inclusive J/psi elliptic flow measurement performed with the muon spectrometer of ALICE, in Pb-Pb collisions, at forward rapidity. Integrated and pT-differential v2 results are presented and a comparison with recent STAR results and with a parton transport model is also performed.

description: The development and economic empowerment of Africa has been a major concern of the West for the last several decades. Despite the infusion of trillions of dollars of aid from wealthy nations and NGOs, development outcomes have been extremely varied state-to-state, leading many economists to question the effectiveness of aid altogether. There are many competing theories which attempt to explain why these failures occur. This paper makes no attempt at discrediting any of them. Instead, this paper will introduce an additional hypothesis: one which should not operate independently from other existing explanations, though it relies primarily on another theoretical concept known as the “transplant effect.”

Classification and symmetry properties of scaling dimensions at Anderson transitions

description: We develop a classification of composite operators without gradients at Anderson-transition critical points in disordered systems. These operators represent correlation functions of the local density of states (or of wave-function amplitudes). Our classification is motivated by the Iwasawa decomposition for the field of the pertinent supersymmetric σ-model: the scaling operators are represented by "plane waves" in terms of the corresponding radial coordinates. We also present an alternative construction of scaling operators by using the notion of highest-weight vector. We further argue that a certain Weyl-group invariance associated with the σ-model manifold leads to numerous exact symmetry relations between the scaling dimensions of the composite operators. These symmetry relations generalize those derived earlier for the multifractal spectrum of the leading operators.

description: A non-trivial interplay between quantum coherence and dissipative environment-driven dynamics is becoming increasingly recognised as key for efficient energy transport in photosynthetic pigment-protein complexes, and converting these biologically-inspired insights into a set of design principles that can be implemented in artificial light-harvesting systems has become an active research field. Here we identify a specific design principle - the phonon antenna - that demonstrates how inter-pigment coherence is able to modify and optimize the way that excitations spectrally sample their local environmental fluctuations. We place this principle into a broader context and furthermore we provide evidence that the Fenna-Matthews-Olson complex of green sulphur bacteria has an excitonic structure that is close to such an optimal operating point, and suggest that this general design principle might well be exploited in other biomolecular systems.

Restricted Sum Formula of Alternating Euler Sums
Creators: name: Zhao, Jianqiang
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: Number Theory (math.NT)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: In this paper we study restricted sum formulas involving alternating Euler sums which are defined by ζ(s_1,...,s_{d};ε_1,...,ε_d)=\sum_{n_1>...>n_d\ge 1}\frac{ε_1^{n_1}... ε_{d}^{n_d}}{n_1^{s_1}... n_d^{s_d}}, for all positive integers s_1,...,s_{d} and ε_1=\pm 1,..., ε_{d}=\pm 1 with (s_1,ε_1) unequal (1,1). We call w=s_1+...+s_{d} the weight and d the depth. When ε_j=-1 we say the jth component is alternating. We first consider Euler sums of the following special type: ξ(2s_1,...,2s_{d})=ζ(2s_1,...,2s_{d};(-1)^{s_1},...,(-1)^{s_{d}}). For d\le n, let Ξ(2n,d) be the sum of all ξ(2s_1,..., 2s_{d}) of fixed weight 2n and depth d. We derive a formula for Ξ(2n,d) using the theory of symmetric functions established by Hoffman recently. We also consider restricted sum formulas of Euler sums with fixed weight 2n, depth d and fixed number αof alternating components at even arguments. When α=1 or α=d we can determine precisely the restricted sum formulas. For other αwe only treat the cases d<5 completely since the symmetric function theory becomes more and more unwieldy to work with when αmoves closer to d/2.

description: We consider reheating driven by volume modulus decays in the LARGE Volume Scenario. Such reheating always generates non-zero dark radiation through the decays to the axion partner, while the only competitive visible sector decays are Higgs pairs via the Giudice-Masiero term. In the framework of sequestered models where the cosmological moduli problem is absent, the simplest model with a shift-symmetric Higgs sector generates 1.56 < N_{eff} - N_{eff,SM} < 1.74. For more general cases, the known experimental bounds on N_{eff} strongly constrain the parameters and matter content of the models.

description: Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) pose a major health and environmental problem. Methods are needed to ensure that PFAS are not released into the environment during their use or disposal. Alumina-based catalysts have been used for the abatement of small perfluorocarbons, e.g. tetrafluoromethane and perfluoropropane, emitted during the silicon etching process. Here, an alumina-based catalyst was tested to determine if these catalysts may facilitate the destruction of gas-phase PFAS. The catalyst was challenged with two nonionic surfactants with eight fluorinated carbons, 8:2 fluorotelomer alcohol and N-Ethyl-N-(2-hydroxyethyl)perfluorooctylsulfonamide. The catalyst helped decrease the temperatures needed for the destruction of the parent PFAS relative to a thermal-only treatment. Temperatures of 200°C were sufficient to destroy the parent PFAS using the catalyst, although a significant number of fluorinated products of incomplete destruction (PIDs) were observed. The PIDs were no longer observed by about 500°C with catalyst treatment. Alumina-based catalysts are a promising PFAS pollution control technology that could eliminate both perfluorocarbons and longer chain PFAS from gas streams. Implications: The release of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) into the atmosphere can cause problems for human health and the environment. It is critical to reduce and eliminate PFAS emissions from potential sources, such as manufacturers, destruction technologies, and fluoropolymer processing and application sites. Here, an alumina-based catalyst was used to eliminate the emissions of two gas-phase PFAS with eight fully fluorinated carbons. No PFAS were observed in the emissions when the catalyst was at 500°C, lowering the energy requirements for PFAS destruction. This shows that alumina-based catalysts are a promising area for research for PFAS pollution controls and the elimination of PFAS emissions into the atmosphere.

description: Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) has recently emerged as a new paradigm for processing different types of images. SVD is an attractive algebraic transform for image processing applications. The paper proposes an experimental survey for the SVD as an efficient transform in image processing applications. Despite the well-known fact that SVD offers attractive properties in imaging, the exploring of using its properties in various image applications is currently at its infancy. Since the SVD has many attractive properties have not been utilized, this paper contributes in using these generous properties in newly image applications and gives a highly recommendation for more research challenges. In this paper, the SVD properties for images are experimentally presented to be utilized in developing new SVD-based image processing applications. The paper offers survey on the developed SVD based image applications. The paper also proposes some new contributions that were originated from SVD properties analysis in different image processing. The aim of this paper is to provide a better understanding of the SVD in image processing and identify important various applications and open research directions in this increasingly important area; SVD based image processing in the future research.

description: Is compressive sensing overrated? Or can it live up to our expectations? What will come after compressive sensing and sparsity? And what has Galileo Galilei got to do with it? Compressive sensing has taken the signal processing community by storm. A large corpus of research devoted to the theory and numerics of compressive sensing has been published in the last few years. Moreover, compressive sensing has inspired and initiated intriguing new research directions, such as matrix completion. Potential new applications emerge at a dazzling rate. Yet some important theoretical questions remain open, and seemingly obvious applications keep escaping the grip of compressive sensing. In this paper I discuss some of the recent progress in compressive sensing and point out key challenges and opportunities as the area of compressive sensing and sparse representations keeps evolving. I also attempt to assess the long-term impact of compressive sensing.
Characterizing $L_2$Boosting

Subjects: subject: Statistics Theory (math.ST)

description: We consider $L_2$Boosting, a special case of Friedman's generic boosting algorithm applied to linear regression under $L_2$-loss. We study $L_2$Boosting for an arbitrary regularization parameter and derive an exact closed form expression for the number of steps taken along a fixed coordinate direction. This relationship is used to describe $L_2$Boosting's solution path, to describe new tools for studying its path, and to characterize some of the algorithm's unique properties, including active set cycling, a property where the algorithm spends lengthy periods of time cycling between the same coordinates when the regularization parameter is arbitrarily small. Our fixed descent analysis also reveals a repressible condition that limits the effectiveness of $L_2$Boosting in correlated problems by preventing desirable variables from entering the solution path. As a simple remedy, a data augmentation method similar to that used for the elastic net is used to introduce $L_2$-penalization and is shown, in combination with decorrelation, to reverse the repressible condition and circumvents $L_2$Boosting's deficiencies in correlated problems. In itself, this presents a new explanation for why the elastic net is successful in correlated problems and why methods like LAR and lasso can perform poorly in such settings.

description: In the present work, a light-controlled device cell is established based on the dye-sensitized solar cell using nanocrystalline TiO2 films. Voltage-current curves are characterized by three types of transport behaviors: linear increase, saturated plateau and breakdown-like increase, which are actually of the typical performances for a photo-gated transistor. Moreover, an asymmetric behavior is observed in the voltage-current loops, which is believed to arise from the difference in the effective photo-conducting areas. The photovoltaic voltage between the shared counter electrode and drain (VCE-D) is investigated as well, clarifying that the predominant dark process in source and the predominant photovoltaic process in drain are series connected, modifying the electric potential levels and thus resulting in the characteristic phototransistor behaviors.

description: The behavior of weakly deformed drops on non wetting surfaces is usually described using linear models. We show that these simple pictures cannot account for measurements of the dynamics of droplets that oscillate or bounce on super-hydrophobic substrates. We demonstrate that several peculiar experimental observations observed in previous works can be understood through a logarithmic correction of the linear model.

description: Tailpipe PM (particulate matter) emissions have been reduced due to decades of tightening regulations, however non-tailpipe PM emissions are not regulated and are expected to become a significant source of traffic-related PM emissions. Previous studies have focused on emission measurement from laboratory and track tests. Their findings suggest brake wear PM emission rates are dependent on brake activity. Therefore, it is important to characterize brake emissions by first understanding the real-world brake activity from many different vehicle vocations and driving conditions. The goal of the current study is to establish a test method and analysis for brake activity measurements of heavy-duty vehicles. In this study, brake fluid pressure and brake pad temperature were measured for a heavy-duty vehicle during chassis and on-road driving tests. The chassis tests consisted of the Central Business District (CBD) cycle representative of a repetitive stop-and-go driving pattern of a bus, and the Urban Dynamometer Driving Schedule (UDDS) cycle representative of urban driving conditions of heavy-duty vehicles. The on-road tests consisted of a local Riverside City route focused on urban roads at low vehicle speeds with frequent braking, while the second route from Riverside City to Victorville focused on highway driving and downhill braking. The brake pad temperature of the triplicate CBD cycle gradually increased linearly with a slope of 2.3°C/min and the temperature per kinetic energy lost during braking increased by 2.3 × 10−5°C/J for the CBD cycle. The UDDS cycles had the largest kinetic energy loss between 3.2 × 103 to 3.0 × 105 J in the histogram. The local Riverside city route brake temperature increased by 2.0°C/min. The kinetic energy loss for the on-road tests were one order of magnitude larger than that of the dynamometer tests due to brake events occurring under higher speeds. Implications: The non-tailpipe source contributions to traffic related particulate matter (PM) emissions have surpassed that of tailpipe emissions. The results of this work provide a measurement method to obtain brake activity information for a heavy-duty vehicle, which is critical estimating emission inventory accurately.
Search for the standard model Higgs boson in associated $WH$ production in 9.7 fb$^{-1}$ of $p\bar{p}$ collisions with the D0 detector

description: We present a search for the standard model Higgs boson in final states with a charged lepton (electron or muon), missing transverse energy, and two or three jets, at least one of which is identified as a $b$-quark jet. The search is primarily sensitive to $WH\to\ellνb\bar{b}$ production and uses data corresponding to 9.7 fb$^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity collected with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron $p\bar{p}$ Collider at $\sqrt{s}=1.96$ TeV. We observe agreement between data and the expected background. For a Higgs boson mass of 125 GeV, we set a 95% C.L. upper limit on the production of a standard model Higgs boson of 5.2$\timesσ_{\rm SM}$, where $σ_{\rm SM}$ is the standard model Higgs boson production cross section, while the expected limit is 4.7$\timesσ_{\rm SM}$.

description: A measurement of the absolute fluorescence yield of the 337 nm nitrogen band, relevant to ultra-high energy cosmic ray (UHECR) detectors, is reported. Two independent calibrations of the fluorescence emission induced by a 120 GeV proton beam were employed: Cherenkov light from the beam particle and calibrated light from a nitrogen laser. The fluorescence yield in air at a pressure of 1013 hPa and temperature of 293 K was found to be $Y_{337} = 5.61\pm 0.06_{stat} \pm 0.21_{syst}$ photons/MeV. When compared to the fluorescence yield currently used by UHECR experiments, this measurement improves the uncertainty by a factor of three, and has a significant impact on the determination of the energy scale of the cosmic ray spectrum.

description: The declaration of the coronavirus, or COVID-19, as a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) on March 11, 2020, marked a significant turning point in global public health. With over 88 million confirmed cases and 1.9 million deaths worldwide as of January 10, 2021, the pandemic has had profound impacts on societies and economies worldwide. In Lesotho alone, the virus has led to 2577 confirmed cases and 50 deaths, highlighting the severity of its impact even in smaller nations. Beyond its toll on public health, COVID-19 poses a formidable economic and financial threat, with far-reaching consequences for the global economy.

To curb the spread of the virus, affected regions and countries, including Europe, China, and the United States (US), implemented stringent measures such as physical distancing, movement restrictions, and nation-wide lockdowns. While the severity of these measures varied, their effects on economic sectors were universal, leading to significant disruptions in production and employment. Non-essential economic sectors experienced drastic reductions in working hours, resulting in a surge in unemployment and economic inactivity.

Of particular concern is the rapid rise in economic inactivity, outpacing the rate of unemployment growth. This trend underscores the multifaceted challenges posed by the pandemic, as individuals not only lose jobs but also withdraw from the labor force altogether. Such trends portend long-term consequences for economic recovery and societal well-being, necessitating comprehensive policy responses to mitigate their impact.

This paper examines the economic repercussions of COVID-19, focusing on its effects on employment and economic activity. By analyzing data from affected regions and countries, it seeks to elucidate the magnitude and dynamics of the pandemic's impact on labor markets and economic resilience. Additionally, it underscores the need for targeted interventions to support affected individuals and sectors, fostering a sustainable path to recovery in the post-pandemic era
title: Exploring the metabolic landscape and resulting vulnerabilities of minimal residual disease in breast cancer

description: Despite overall improvements in breast cancer management, breast cancer continues to be a major health challenge worldwide, with high mortality rates. Following initially successful therapies, some cells are able to evade the treatment and remain in the body at undetectable levels (known as minimal residual disease) and could eventually lead to a lethal tumor recurrence. Understanding the nature of this elusive cell population is of a great importance in tumor eradication and relapse prevention. Nevertheless, the intricate mechanistic details about these processes and the nature of these cells remain poorly understood, mainly due to difficulties in obtaining patient material of MRD and being able to study them over the course of treatment.
To characterize MRD in breast cancer, we employed an inducible TetO-MYC/TetO-Neu/MMTV-rtTA mouse model and primary 3D cultures of mammary organoids that yield a correlate of MRD upon oncogene silencing. A combination of immunofluorescence, RNA sequencing, lipidomics and metabolomics revealed the unique nature of the residual cells. Despite the phenotypic similarity to the normal population, the residual cells exhibited a distinct transcriptional profile. This profile was also different when compared to the tumor, highlighting the unique properties of the residual cell population. In addition, lipid profiles of the residual cells were also distinguished from both normal and tumor populations.
Surprisingly, despite the inactivated oncogenes and seemingly normal phenotype of the residual structures, the residual cells bore a metabolic resemblance to tumor cells. They retained some tumor metabolic hallmarks, which persevered long after the oncogenes were silenced and tumors had regressed. This was demonstrated in our 3D cultures and verified in vivo on histological sections and fresh samples of the mammary glands following tumor regression. Enhanced glycolysis, the urea cycle and NOS2 activity were the most prominent features preserved in the residual cells. As shown in correlation with publicly available microarray datasets of patient samples following neoadjuvant treatment, these traits could be particularly important in MRD of the basal-like HER2 positive and HER2 negative breast cancer subtypes.
In conclusion, our findings suggest vast and profound effects of the changes happening over the course of tumor progression, which result in an altered metabolic network even in the absence of oncogene signaling, implying the existence of a “metabolic memory” probably imprinted through the changes in the epigenetic landscape. This phenomenon, particularly its potential driver(s), remains to be investigated. Furthermore, enhanced glycolysis, urea cycle and NOS2 activity in the residual cells compared to the normal, could provide an opportunity to interfere with MRD, offering the potential of preventing tumor recurrences.
title: Automated Correlative Light and
Electron Microscopy using FIB-SEM as
a tool to screen for ultrastructural
phenotypes
Creators: name: Serra Lleti, Jose Miguel
Publisher: name: Heidelberg University Library

description: In Correlative Light and Electron Microscopy (CLEM), two imaging modalities are combined
to take advantage of the localization capabilities of light microscopy (LM) to guide the capture
of high-resolution details in the electron microscope (EM). However, traditional approaches
have proven to be very laborious, thus yielding a too low throughput for quantitative or
exploratory studies of populations.  Recently, in the electron microscopy field, FIB-SEM
(Focused Ion Beam -Scanning Electron Microscope) tomography has emerged as a flexible
method that enables semi-automated 3D volume acquisitions. During my thesis, I developed
CLEMSite, a tool that takes advantage of the semi-automation and scanning capabilities
of the FIB-SEM to automatically acquire volumes of adherent cultured cells.
CLEMSite is a combination of computer vision and machine learning applications with a library for
controlling the microscope ( product from a collaboration with Carl Zeiss GmbH and Fibics Inc.). Thanks to this, the microscope was able to automatically track, find and acquire cell regions previously identified in the light microscope. More specifically, two main modules
were implemented. First, a correlation module was designed to detect and record reference
points from a grid pattern present on the culture substrate in both modalities (LM and EM).
Second, I designed a module that retrieves the regions of interest in the FIB-SEM and that
drives the acquisition of image stacks between different targets in an unattended fashion. The
automated CLEM approach is demonstrated on a project where 3D EM volumes are examined
upon multiple siRNA treatments for knocking down genes involved in the morphogenesis
of the Golgi apparatus.  Additionally, the power of CLEM approaches using FIB-SEM is
demonstrated with the detailed structural analysis of two events: the breakage of the nuclear
envelope within constricted cells and an intriguing catastrophic DNA Damage Response in
binucleated cells. Our results demonstrate that executing high throughput volume acquisition
in electron microscopy is possible and that EM can provide incredible insights to guide new
biological discoveries.

description: The slides in this repository were developed for Dr. Marco Mesiti's, University of Milan, course titled "Constructing Knowledge Graphs for Advanced Biomedical Applications" (https://homes.di.unimi.it/mesiti/phdcourse2023/ ). Taken from the course website, the course description reads: Knowledge graphs (KGs) can be used as an integration means of heterogenous biomedical concepts and relationships existing in different biological data sources. The presence of various information related to the same topic (e.g. patients, therapies, diseases) can be exploited for tackling many biomedical problems, such as finding new treatments for existing drugs, aiding efforts to diagnose patients, and identifying associations between diseases and biomolecules. In this course, we will discuss the characteristics of knowledge graphs, the languages for their representation and querying, and the systems used for their storage. Then, we will discuss machine learning techniques that can be used to construct and analyze knowledge graphs in different biomedical applications. Finally, we will discuss techniques and examples for the construction of biological knowledge graphs. Slides Overview: These slides cover Block 3 of the course, which is focused on the construction of knowledge graphs within the biomedical domain. The lectures provides an introduction to and overview of the Semantic Web and an overview of biomedical knowledge graphs and their applications within the biomedical domain. It also describes three different approaches for constructing knowledge graphs with example GitHub projects and concludes by describing the PheKnowLator Ecosystem, including the technical infrastructure and its biomedical applications.
