description: The concept of stochastic Lagrangian and its use in statistical dynamics is illustrated theoretically, and with some examples. Dynamical variables undergoing stochastic differential equations are stochastic processes themselves, and their realization probability functional within a given time interval arises from the interplay between the deterministic parts of dynamics and noise statistics. The stochastic Lagrangian is a tool to formulate realization probabilities via functional integrals, once the statistics of noises involved in the stochastic dynamical equations is known. In principle, it allows to highlight the invariance properties of the statistical dynamics of the system. In this work, after a review of the stochastic Lagrangian formalism, some applications of it to physically relevant cases are illustrated.

description: We study single Higgs boson production in gamma gamma collisions proceeding via the hadronic content of the photon. These processes complement previous studies of pair and single Higgs production at e^+e^- colliders. For SM Higgs masses of current theoretical interest, the resolved photon contributions are non-negligible in precision cross section measurements. The charged Higgs cross sections are not competitive with the gamma gamma -> H^+ H^- process and at best might offer some information about quark-Higgs couplings. Finally, resolved photon production of the heavier Higgs bosons, H^0 and A^0 of the MSSM, can probe regions of the SUSY parameter space that will complement other measurements. This last process shows some promise in SUSY Higgs searches and warrants further study.

description: The study assessed the research preparedness of G10 students for SHS. It determined their demographic profile in terms of gender, age, and curriculum; their understanding, self-efficacy, and attitude towards research; and their general research preparedness. Descriptive survey design was followed wherein a 30-item adapted survey questionnaire was employed to 215 G10 students from different sections, chosen through stratified random sampling. Data was analyzed using mean, Independent T-test, Welch Test and One-Way ANOVA. Majority of the respondents were female, aged 15 to 16 from the BEC curriculum. Respondents exhibited good understanding of research and were moderately familiar with the ethics involved. They also showed confidence in their ability to perform tasks and displayed a positive attitude towards research. Both male and female are ‘very prepared’ for the subject. This is also true for students aged 15 to 16 who come from the four curriculums mentioned. On the other hand, students aged 14 and below and 17 and above are ‘moderately prepared’. A significant relationship can be discerned between students understanding, self-efficacy and attitude towards research. There was a significant difference when analyzed according to curriculum but not according to gender and age. In conclusion, students are deemed ‘very prepared’ for research undertaking in SHS in terms of understanding, self-efficacy and attitude towards research. It is recommended that the school and its research sector implement programs and effective teaching strategies for proper orientation of students. Further studies should also compare research preparedness of incoming college students.

description: For the ordinary classical nova QZ Aurigae (which erupted in 1964), we report 1317 magnitudes from 1912--2016, including four eclipses detected on archival photographic plates from long before the eruption. We have accurate and robust measures of the orbital period both pre-eruption and post-eruption, and we find that the orbital period decreased, with a fractional change of -290.71+-0.28 parts-per-million across the eruption, with the orbit necessarily getting smaller. Further, we find that the light curve outside of eclipses and eruption is flat at near B=17.14 from 1912--1981, whereupon the average light curve starts fading down to B=17.49 with large variability. QZ Aur is a robust counter-example against the Hibernation model for the evolution of cataclysmic variables, where the model requires that all novae have their period increase across eruptions. Large period decreases across eruptions can easily arise from mass imbalances in the ejecta, as are commonly seen in asymmetric nova shells.

description: Abstract: Damaging hydrological events are extreme phenomena with potentially severe impacts on human societies. Here, we present the hitherto longest reconstruction of damaging hydrological events for Italy, and for the whole Mediterranean region, revealing 674 such events over the period 800–2017. For any given year, we established a severity index based on information in historical documentary records, facilitating the transformation of the data into a continuous time-series. Episodes of hydrological extremes disrupted ecosystems during the more severe events by changing landforms. The frequency and severity of damaging hydrological events across Italy were likely influenced by the mode of the Atlantic Multidecadal Variability (AMV), with relatively few events during the warm Medieval Climate Anomaly dominated by a positive phase of the AMV. More frequent and heavier storms prevailed during the cold Little Ice Age, dominated by a more negative phase of the AMV. Since the mid-19th century, a decreasing occurrence of exceptional hydrological events is evident, especially during the most recent decades, but this decrease is not yet unprecedented in the context of the past twelve centuries.

description: We extend the Ori and Thorne (OT) procedure to compute the transition from an adiabatic inspiral into a geodesic plunge for any spin, with emphasis on near-extremal ones. Our analysis revisits the validity of the approximations made in OT. In particular, we discuss possible effects coming from eccentricity and non-geodesic past-history of the orbital evolution. We find three different scaling regimes according to whether the mass ratio is much smaller, of the same order or much larger than the near extremal parameter describing how fast the primary black hole rotates. Eccentricity and non-geodesic past-history corrections are always sub-leading, indicating that the quasi-circular approximation applies throughout the transition regime. However, we show that the OT assumption that the energy and angular momentum evolve linearly with proper time must be modified in the near-extremal regime. Using our transition equations, we describe an algorithm to compute the full worldline in proper time for an extreme mass ratio inspiral (EMRI) and the resultant gravitational waveform in the high spin limit.

description: We present a method to derive macroscopic fluid-dynamic models from microscopic car-following models via a coarse-graining procedure. The method is first demonstrated for the optimal velocity model. The derived macroscopic model consists of a conservation equation and a momentum equation, and the latter contains a relaxation term, an anticipation term, and a diffusion term. Properties of the resulting macroscopic model are compared with those of the optimal velocity model through numerical simulations, and reasonable agreement is found although there are deviations in the quantitative level. The derivation is also extended to general car-following models.

description: We discuss in a systematic way the extraction of neutrino masses, mixing angles and leptonic CP violation at neutrino factories. Compared to previous studies we put a special emphasis on improved statistical methods and on the multidimensional nature of the combined fits of the nu_e -> nu_mu, \bar nu_e -> \bar nu_mu appearance and nu_mu -> nu_mu, \bar nu_mu -> \bar nu_mu disappearance channels. Uncertainties of all involved parameters and statistical errors are included. We find previously ignored correlations in the multidimensional parameter space, leading to modifications in the physics reach, which amount in some cases to one order of magnitude. Including proper statistical errors we determine for all parameters the improved sensitivity limits for various baselines, beam energies, neutrino fluxes and detector masses. Our results allow a comparison of the physics potential for different choices of baseline and beam energy with regard to all involved parameters. In addition we discuss in more detail the problem of parameter degeneracies in measurements of delta_CP.

description: Abstract: Background: PREDICT Prostate is an endorsed prognostic model that provides individualised long-term prostate cancer-specific and overall survival estimates. The model, derived from UK data, estimates potential treatment benefit on overall survival. In this study, we externally validated the model in a large independent dataset and compared performance to existing models and within treatment groups. Methods: Men with non-metastatic prostate cancer and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) < 100 ng/ml diagnosed between 2000 and 2010 in the nationwide population-based Prostate Cancer data Base Sweden (PCBaSe) were included. Data on age, PSA, clinical stage, grade group, biopsy involvement, primary treatment and comorbidity were retrieved. Sixty-nine thousand two hundred six men were included with 13.9 years of median follow-up. Fifteen-year survival estimates were calculated using PREDICT Prostate for prostate cancer-specific mortality (PCSM) and all-cause mortality (ACM). Discrimination was assessed using Harrell’s concordance (c)-index in R. Calibration was evaluated using cumulative available follow-up in Stata (TX, USA). Results: Overall discrimination of PREDICT Prostate was good with c-indices of 0.85 (95% CI 0.85–0.86) for PCSM and 0.79 (95% CI 0.79–0.80) for ACM. Overall calibration of the model was excellent with 25,925 deaths predicted and 25,849 deaths observed. Within the conservative management and radical treatment groups, c-indices for 15-year PCSM were 0.81 and 0.78, respectively. Calibration also remained good within treatment groups. The discrimination of PREDICT Prostate significantly outperformed the EAU, NCCN and CAPRA scores for both PCSM and ACM within this cohort overall. A key limitation is the use of retrospective cohort data. Conclusions: This large external validation demonstrates that PREDICT Prostate is a robust and generalisable model to aid clinical decision-making.

description: The total consumption of fresh vegetables in Swaziland is estimated around 40,000 tonnes per year and this translate into 40 kg per capita consumption per year. Individuals who are not economically challenged consume above the annual per capita of 40 kg in contrast to a poor individuals living in rural areas, who consume less than the per capita vegetables. The study sought to describe the performance of vegetable vegetables supply chain in Swaziland. A descriptive research design was used in the study and data were collected using personal interviews from 100 randomly selected vegetable farmers. Data were analysed using market margins and marketing channel analysis to identify existing marketing channels used by vegetable farmers. The revealed marketing channels that producers used to obtain attractive prices and a higher share of the consumer price. The largest producer’s share was obtained through direct sale to consumers. Channels that included restaurants had high total gross margins and low producer’s share of the consumer price. The concern for issues on post-harvest and marketing should form an integral part of policy development and research programmes and also the public and private sectors should facilitate contractual arrangements for vegetables farmers. Commercialising vegetable production should not be overemphasised because it encourages farmers to be market oriented as opposed to production oriented. Farmers need to form cooperatives in order to assist in bargaining of prices within the vegetable supply chain.

description: Color pattern plays a crucial role in various aspects of an organism's biology, including camouflage, mating, and communication. Despite its significance, methods to capture, quantify, and study color pattern variation are often lacking, particularly for complex patterns that defy simple categorization. In this study, we examine existing methods for identifying and capturing animal color patterns and compare them with a new algorithm developed for this purpose. We also created codes to extract data from digital images and measure 19 different pattern elements, aiming to capture the complexity of the color pattern of the Eastern box turtle. One key element we focused on was the symmetry of the pattern on the turtles' scutes, which is of interest in developmental and evolutionary studies. While much work on pattern symmetry relies on theoretical measures rather than empirical data due to quantification challenges, we aimed to address this gap. We chose the Eastern box turtle as our study species due to its accessibility for field photography, clear color pattern against a dark background, rigid shell structure, and lack of extensive pattern research. Our analysis included 55 individuals sampled from both the field and a museum. We evaluated various factors, such as the repeatability and accuracy of the pattern identification algorithm, image acquisition methods, lighting conditions, and animal shape, to understand their influence on pattern variation. It was crucial to account for these factors, as they contribute to non-biological variation and can affect data quality. We also incorporated a citizen science approach to assess color pattern complexity and determine which pattern elements best describe this complexity. Our findings suggest that the developed algorithm is robust and highly repeatable. Elements based on ratios, contrast, or coloration measures were more robust than those relying on the accuracy of the number of pattern objects. Additionally, angle influenced some variation, likely due to technical error. We observed some correlation between certain pattern elements and perceived complexity based on human interpretation of the color pattern. In conclusion, our study represents a significant advancement in the field by providing codes and a workflow for capturing and quantifying color pattern variation in organisms with complex patterns. It also helps differentiate between biological and technical variation in color patterns, improving our understanding of these intricate biological features.

description: Polyacrylic acid (PAA) was used as an organic dispersant in the secondary circuit of nuclear power plants, which could interact with anion exchange resin and affect its properties in the condensate polishing treatment system. This study investigated the kinetics, isotherms, and thermodynamics characteristics of PAA adsorption on anion exchange resin. The results suggested that the inhibition of PAA adsorption on resin can be achieved by lowering the PAA concentration and temperature. In addition, the adsorption reversibility and influence of PAA on anion exchange resin were discussed. The chemical desorption agent (NaOH) can desorb 94.10% of the adsorbed PAA on resin. The physicochemical properties of anion exchange resin changed little after adsorbing and desorbing PAA. Furthermore, the interaction feature between PAA and anion exchange resin was revealed through analyzing the stoichiometry and ATR-FTIR spectra, which was partial ion exchange and most attachment. This feature caused the weak binding force between PAA and resin. Therefore, PAA was easily desorbed from the resin and the exchange capacity of resin can be restored after the chemical desorption process. In conclusion, PAA had little influence on the properties of anion exchange resin and did not cause nonreversible organic fouling.

description: The effective dilatational and shear viscosities of a particle-laden fluid interface are computed in the dilute limit under the assumption of an asymptotically vanishing viscosity ratio between both fluids. Spherical particles with a given contact angle of the fluid interface at the particle surface are considered. A planar fluid interface and a small Reynolds number are assumed. The theoretical analysis is based on a domain perturbation expansion in the deviation of the contact angle from $90^\circ$ up to the second order. The resulting effective dilatational viscosity shows a stronger dependence on the contact angle than the effective shear viscosity, and its magnitude is larger for all contact angles. As an application of the theory, the stability of a liquid cylinder decorated with particles is considered. The limits of validity of the theory and possible applications in terms of numerical simulations of particle-laden interfaces are discussed.

Multi-state model
Nonparametric frailty

description: Abstract: Background: Investigating similarities and differences among healthcare providers, on the basis of patient healthcare experience, is of interest for policy making. Availability of high quality, routine health databases allows a more detailed analysis of performance across multiple outcomes, but requires appropriate statistical methodology. Methods: Motivated by analysis of a clinical administrative database of 42,871 Heart Failure patients, we develop a semi-Markov, illness-death, multi-state model of repeated admissions to hospital, subsequent discharge and death. Transition times between these health states each have a flexible baseline hazard, with proportional hazards for patient characteristics (case-mix adjustment) and a discrete distribution for frailty terms representing clusters of providers. Models were estimated using an Expectation-Maximization algorithm and the number of clusters was based on the Bayesian Information Criterion. Results: We are able to identify clusters of providers for each transition, via the inclusion of a nonparametric discrete frailty. Specifically, we detect 5 latent populations (clusters of providers) for the discharge transition, 3 for the in-hospital to death transition and 4 for the readmission transition. Out of hospital death rates are similar across all providers in this dataset. Adjusting for case-mix, we could detect those providers that show extreme behaviour patterns across different transitions (readmission, discharge and death). Conclusions: The proposed statistical method incorporates both multiple time-to-event outcomes and identification of clusters of providers with extreme behaviour simultaneously. In this way, the whole patient pathway can be considered, which should help healthcare managers to make a more comprehensive assessment of performance.

The predominant crops grown in these areas (i.e. spring wheat, barley, and canola) were used to derive cost estimates that reflect agronomic processes. The results obtained frome ach of these areas indicate that several generalizations can be made about the interactions of crop rotations, tillage system and farm size. Firstly, the size of predicted net revenue increases and the probability of generating a negative net revenue decreases as one moves north from the Brown soil zone into the Dark Brown and Black soils. Secondly, as one moves from the Brown soil zone through the Black soil zone, less significance can be placed on fallow crop rotations. Lastly, at the current price of the fallow herbicides, conventional tillage systems have a cost advantage over the alternatives tested here.

description: Protein conjugation with the Maillard reaction has received considerable attention in the past decades in terms of improving functional properties. This study evaluated the changes in the techno-functional properties of whey protein isolate (WPI), soy protein isolate (SPI), and albumin (Alb) after conjugation with basil seed gum (BSG). The conjugates were developed via the Maillard reaction. Various analyses including FT-IR, XRD, SEM, SDS-PAGE, DSC, RVA, rheology, zeta potential, emulsion, and foaming ability were used for evaluating conjugation products. Conjugation between proteins (WPI, SPI, Alb) and BSG was validated by FT-IR spectroscopy. XRD results revealed a decrease in the peak of BSG after conjugation with proteins. SDS-PAGE demonstrated the conjugation of WPI, SPI, and Alb with BSG. DSC results showed that conjugation with BSG reduced the Tg of WPI, SPI, and Alb from 210.21, 207.21, and 210.90 ◦C to 190.30, 192.91, and 196.66 ◦C, respectively. The emulsion activity and emulsion stability of protein/BSG conjugates were increased significantly. The droplet size of emulsion samples ranged from 112.1 to 239.3 nm on day 3. Nanoemulsions stabilized by Alb/BSG conjugate had the smallest droplet sizes (112.1 and 143.3 nm after 3 and 17 days, respectively). The foaming capacity of WPI (78.57%), SPI (61.91%), and Alb (71.43%) in their mixtures with BSG increased to 107.14%, 85.71%, and 85.71%, respectively, after making conjugates with BSG. The foam stability of WPI (39.34%), SPI (61.57%), and Alb (53.37%) in their mixtures with BSG (non-conjugated condition) increased to 77.86%, 77.91%, and 72.32%, respectively, after formation of conjugates with BSG. Conjugation of BSG to proteins can improve the BSG applications as a multifunctional stabilizer in pharmaceutical and food industries.

description: Abstract: Group B streptococcus (GBS) is the leading cause of neonatal invasive disease worldwide. In the Netherlands incidence of the disease increased despite implementation of preventive guidelines. We describe a genomic analysis of 1345 GBS isolates from neonatal (age 0–89 days) invasive infections in the Netherlands reported between 1987 and 2016. Most isolates clustered into one of five major lineages: CC17 (39%), CC19 (25%), CC23 (18%), CC10 (9%) and CC1 (7%). There was a significant rise in the number of infections due to isolates from CC17 and CC23. Phylogenetic clustering analysis revealed that this was caused by expansion of specific sub-lineages, designated CC17-A1, CC17-A2 and CC23-A1. Dating of phylogenetic trees estimated that these clones diverged in the 1960s/1970s, representing historical rather than recently emerged clones. For CC17-A1 the expansion correlated with acquisition of a new phage, carrying gene encoding a putative cell-surface protein. Representatives of CC17-A1, CC17-A2 and CC23-A1 clones were identified in datasets from other countries demonstrating their global distribution.

Random-Matrix Theory: Distribution of Mesoscopic Supercurrents through a Chaotic Cavity

description: We investigate the distribution of the supercurrent through a chaotic quantum dot which is strongly coupled to two superconductors when the Thouless energy is large compared to the superconducting energy gap. The distribution function of the critical currents P(I_c) is known to be Gaussian in the limit of large channel number N. For N=1, we present an analytical low-temperature expression for this distribution function, valid both in the presence and in the absence of time-reversal symmetry. It connects directly the distribution of transmission coefficients to the distribution of critical currents. The case of arbitrary channel number (N>1) is discussed numerically, and for small critical currents analytically.

description: In my doctoral thesis, I have focussed my attention on radiation processes in high-energy astrophysics connected with the accretion flow physics around compact objects. Generally, a radiation field beside to exert an outward radiation pressure, there is also the presence of a radiation drag force, which both can drastically change or even halt the motion of the surrounding matter. The radiation drag force, known as Poynting-Robertson effect, acts as a dissipative force against the matter's orbital motion, removing very efficiently angular momentum and energy from it. The thesis is organised in three parts: (1) for ray-tracing purposes, I have developed a mathematical method for deriving a set of high-accurate approximate polynomial formulae to easily integrate photon geodesics in a Schwarzschild spacetime; (2) I gave two fundamental contributions in the field of the general relativistic treatment of the Poynting-Robertson effect (Lagrangian formulations and extension of the model in three dimensions); (3) I reduced the data of three accreting millisecond X-ray pulsars: IGR J00291+5934, IGR J18245-2452, and SAX J1748.9-2021. This thesis offers innovative ideas in the field of radiation processes involving the Poynting-Robertson effect in high-energy astrophysics, opening thus up future interesting perspectives both in theoretical and observational physics.

description: We studied multiple sequence alignment (MSA) consensus amino acid distributional patterns in 2,844 amino acid sequences of the eight enzymes of the Kreb’s oxidative tricarboxylic acid pathway (oTCA) in Archaea, Bacteria and Eukarya and 5,545 sequences of 33 Bacteria as geochronologically separated enzymes with MSA consensus site modal identities. The 33 Bacteria were 20 presumptive examples of early-oldest (Hadean-Archaean) (‘Epoch I’) or 13 late-newest (contemporary) (‘Epoch III’) appearing enzymes on Earth. The enzyme’s MSA consensus sites were identified by their modal identity, % Occupancy in one of nine-graded evolutionary-conservation zones (CZs) and the Euclidean distance (Å) from each of their consensus MSA Cɑs to the same atom (Anchor-atom) in their reported functional center. These MSA consensus sites are tetrad-data points called Recovered-Amino Acids (RAA). Across Domains, the % Occupancies of the eight-dominant RAAs of the Kreb’s cycle and the 33 Bacteria were found to be similarly ranked. Compared to Trifonov’s “putative ranked temporal order of the appearance of amino acids on Earth” (TOAE), the greatest statistical concordance with tetrad-RAAs across Domains were those characterized as within the most-evolutionary conserved conservation zone (CZ9), typically nearest (Å) their enzyme’s catalytic/active center. The geochronologically characterized early-oldest Hadean-Archaean Bacteria ‘Epoch I’ enzymes, compared to late-newest Bacteria enzymes, had greater average numbers of amino acid residues/sequence and a statistically significant larger variability in their RAA compositional-Å3-volumes. The late-newest ‘Epoch III’ enzymes had statistically significant lower volumetric values, specifically, their native Å3-volume, void-volume and volume change on unfolding. Our enzyme data suggest a geochronological trace of “metabolism’s progressive emergence”.
