description: Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a clinical/radiological syndrome characterized by symptoms that can include seizure, headache, impaired vision and hypertension, and can be confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging. Numerous reports have emerged that describe PRES in cancer patients. The list of medications linked to PRES can include traditional cytotoxic chemotherapeutics (e.g., cisplatin, cyclophosphamide, and high-dose corticosteroids), newer agents that target the vascular endothelial growth factor pathway (e.g., bevacizumab, sunitinib, and pazopanib), and supportive care mediations (e.g., granulocyte colony stimulating factors and erythropoietin). We report, for the first time, a case of PRES that is secondary to treatment with enzalutamide, a potent androgen receptor antagonist used in the treatment of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. Enzalutamide is approved for the treatment of both docetaxel-pretreated and chemotherapy-naïve metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. Enzalutamide has been previously linked to the increased risk of seizures. Clinicians should be aware that, in rare cases, patients treated with enzalutamide could potentially be at risk for PRES. If symptoms suggestive of PRES arise in patients receiving enzalutamide, the drug should be discontinued immediately and the diagnostic process should be initiated.

description: In Nepal sind die Zeichen der politischen Ernüchterung unverkennbar. Zwar hat sich die 8-Parteien-Übergangsregierung nach längerem Ringen auf den 22. November 2007 als Wahltermin für eine verfassungsgebende Versammlung verständigt, doch diese Übereinkunft kann nicht darüber hinwegtäuschen, dass ein erhebliches Sicherheitsvakuum besteht. Nach wie vor sind versteckte und offene Drohungen, Gewalt und gezielte Tötungen an der Tagesordnung. Wie unter solchen Umständen eine friedliche und faire Wahl stattfinden kann, weiß zurzeit keiner. Falls der fragile Prozess jedoch scheitert, drohen neue Kriege - und als worst case-Szenario der Staatszerfall.

description: La question du réchauffement climatique est un souci majeur de notre société et elle nécessite une prise de conscience tant sur le plan personnel qu’au niveau des communautés. Afin d’en éviter les conséquences désastreuses pour notre civilisation, il est urgent que nos institutions fournissent à nos futures générations une éducation au développement durable qui permette à notre société de prendre le virage nécessaire à la survie du genre humain. Dans cette optique, cette étude consiste à déterminer l’influence qu’aurait l’enseignement d’une séquence consacrée au réchauffement climatique sur le développement d’une pensée complexe des élèves de deux classes de 6ème Harmos. Cette pensée complexe est donc au coeur de notre problématique et se base principalement sur les concepts développés par Edgar Morin et Francine Pellaud. Afin de récolter les traces nécessaires à cette recherche, nous avons mené un débat initial en collectif sur un article du 20 minutes « Quasi plus de neige dans les Alpes d’ici 2100 », une séquence d’enseignement de sept périodes et un débat final en focus-groups sur les conséquences du réchauffement climatique sur une station de basse altitude. Puis, après avoir classé les propos des élèves dans un tableau évolutif des degrés de la complexité, nous avons analysé et comparé ces deux débats afin de voir si une progression s’était opérée chez nos élèves. Nos résultats démontrent que pour le débat final, il y a une augmentation des propos d’élèves qui se situe dans des degrés de complexité plus élevé que dans le premier débat et que cela, provient des activités menées en classe. Cependant, cette progression est présente sur un nombre d’élèves relativement peu élevé et il nous est difficile de faire une évaluation précise pour chaque élève. Il serait donc intéressant de continuer les recherches sur le développement d’une pensée complexe d’élèves du cycle 2 dans ce domaine en l’étendant sur un échantillon plus large. Ainsi, nous pourrions mesurer les conséquences qu’aurait l’instauration d’une telle séquence sur l’ensemble des établissements du pays.

description: Non-lethal infections are common in free-living animals and the associated sickness behaviours can impact crucial life-history trade-offs. However, little is known about the duration and extent of such sickness behaviours in free-living animals, and consequently how this affects life-history decisions. Here, free-living Eurasian blackbirds Turdus merula were immune-challenged with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to mimic a bacterial infection and their behaviour was monitored for up to 48 days using accelerometers. As expected, immune-challenged birds were less active than controls within the first 24 h. Unexpectedly, this reduced activity remained detectable for 20 days, before both groups returned to similar activity levels. Furthermore, activity was positively correlated with a pre-experimental index of complement activity, but only in immune-challenged birds, suggesting that sickness behaviours are modulated by constitutive immune function. Differences in daily activity levels stemmed from immune-challenged birds resting earlier at dusk than control birds, while activity levels between groups were similar during core daytime hours. Overall, activity was reduced by 19% in immune-challenged birds and they were on average almost 1 h less active per day for 20 days. This unexpected longevity in sickness behaviour may have severe implications during energy-intense annual-cycle stages (e.g. breeding, migration, winter). Thus, our data help to understand the consequences of non-lethal infections on free-living animals.

description: The McKay--Navarro conjecture is a refinement of the McKay conjecture that additionally takes the action of some Galois automorphisms into account. We verify the inductive McKay--Navarro condition in the defining characteristic for the finite groups of Lie type with exceptional graph automorphisms, the Suzuki and Ree groups, $\mathsf{B}_n(2)$ ($n \geq 2$), and the groups of Lie type with non-generic Schur multiplier. This completes the verification of the inductive McKay--Navarro condition for the finite groups of Lie type in their defining characteristic.

description: This report contains findings emerging from a total of 34 interviews with policy makers, funding agencies and independent experts engaged with the topic of Research Infrastructures and assessment of their impacts. Interviews were aimed at collecting evidence and insights on the existing practices of socio-economic impact assessment of RIs, information gaps, currently used methodologies, main challenges as well as the perceptions on the need for a common impact assessment (IA) model. Findings from these interviews provide one of the input points for the development of a conceptual framework for the IA model (Deliverable 3.2).
Compressible potential flows around round bodies: Janzen-Rayleigh expansion inferences

description: The subsonic, compressible, potential flow around a hypersphere can be derived using the Janzen-Rayleigh expansion (JRE) of the flow potential in even powers of the incident Mach number $\mathcal{M}_\infty$. JREs were carried out with terms polynomial in the inverse radius $r^{-1}$ to high orders in two dimensions (2D), but were limited to order $\mathcal{M}_\infty^4$ in three dimensions (3D). We derive general JRE formulae to arbitrary order, adiabatic index, and dimension. We find that powers of $\ln(r)$ can creep into the expansion, and are essential in 3D beyond order $\mathcal{M}_\infty^4$. Such terms are apparently absent in the 2D disk, as we confirm up to order $\mathcal{M}_\infty^{100}$, although they do show in other dimensions (e.g. at order $\mathcal{M}_\infty^2$ in 4D) and in non-circular 2D bodies. This suggests that the disk, which was extensively used to study basic flow properties, has additional symmetry. Our results are used to improve the hodograph-based approximation for the flow in front of a sphere. The symmetry-axis velocity profiles of axisymmetric flows around different prolate spheroids are approximately related to each other by a simple, Mach-independent scaling.

Mutual information for fermionic systems

description: We study the behavior of the mutual information (MI) in various quadratic fermionic chains, with and without pairing terms and both with short- and long-range hoppings. The models considered include the short-range limit and long-range versions of the Kitaev model as well, and also cases in which the area law for the entanglement entropy is - logarithmically or non-logarithmically - violated. In all cases surveyed, when the area law is violated at most logarithmically, the MI is a monotonically increasing function of the conformal four-point ratio x. Where non-logarithmic violations of the area law are present, non-monotonic features can be observed in the MI and the four-point ratio, as well as other natural combinations of the parameters, is found not to be sufficient to capture the whole structure of the MI with a collapse onto a single curve. We interpret this behavior as a sign that the structure of peaks is related to a non-universal spatial configuration of Bell pairs. For the model exhibiting a perfect volume law, the MI vanishes identically. For the Kitaev model the MI is vanishing for x -> 0 and it remains zero up to a finite x in the gapped case. In general, a larger range of the pairing corresponds to a reduction of the MI at small x. A discussion of the comparison with the results obtained by the AdS/CFT correspondence in the strong coupling limit is presented.

description: The study of events distributed over time which can be quantified as point processes has attracted much interest over the years due to its wide range of applications. It has recently gained new relevance due to the COVID-19 case and death processes associated with SARS-CoV-2 that characterize the COVID-19 pandemic and are observed across different countries. It is of interest to study the behavior of these point processes and how they may be related to covariates such as mobility restrictions, gross domestic product per capita, and fraction of population of older age. As infections and deaths in a region are intrinsically events that arrive at random times, a point process approach is natural for this setting. We adopt techniques for conditional functional point processes that target point processes as responses with vector covariates as predictors, to study the interaction and optimal transport between case and death processes and doubling times conditional on covariates.

description: The processes leading to the exceptionally hard radio spectra of pulsar-wind nebulae (PWNe) are not yet understood. Radio photon spectral indices among $29$ PWNe from the literature show an approximately normal, $α=0.2\pm0.2$ distribution. We present $\sim 3σ$ evidence for a distinct sub-population of PWNe, with a hard spectrum $α=0.01\pm0.06$ near the termination shock and significantly softer elsewhere, possibly due to a recent evacuation of the shock surroundings. Such spectra, especially in the hard sub-population, suggest a Fermi process, such as diffusive shock acceleration, at its extreme, $α=0$ limit. We show that this limit is approached for sufficiently anisotropic small-angle scattering, enhanced on either side of the shock for particles approaching the shock front. In the upstream, the spectral hardening is mostly associated with an enhanced energy gain, possibly driven by the same beamed particles crossing the shock. Downstream, the main effect is a diminished escape probability, but this lowers the acceleration efficiency to $\lesssim25\%$ for $α=0.3$ and $\lesssim1\%$ for $α=0.03$.

description: Aim of the contribution is analyzing potential events that may negatively impact individuals, assets, and/or the environment, and making judgments about the perceived personal and social riskiness of Covid-19 compared to other hazards belonging to health (AIDS, cancer, infarction), environmental (climate change), behavioral (serious car accidents), and technological (nuclear weapons) domains. The comparative risk analysis has been performed on a survey data collected during the first Italian Covid-19 lockdown. An item response theory model for polytomously scored items has been implemented for the analysis of the positioning of Covid-19 with respect to the other hazards in terms of perceived risk. Among the attributes determining the hazard's perceived risk, Covid-19 distinguishes for the knowledge of risks from the hazard, media attention, and fear caused by the hazard in the peers. Besides, through a latent regression analysis, the role of some individual characteristics on the perceived risk for Covid-19 has been examined. Our contribution allows us to disentangle among several aspects of hazards and describe the main factors affecting the perceived risk. It also contributes to determine if existing control measures are perceived as adequate and the interest for new media with related impact on a person's reaction.

description: We examine the impact of economic, demographic, and mobility-related factors have had on the transmission of COVID-19 in 2020. While many models in the academic literature employ linear/generalized linear models, few contributions exist that incorporate spatial analysis, which is useful for understanding factors influencing the proliferation of the disease before the introduction of vaccines. We utilize a Poisson generalized linear model coupled with a spatial autoregressive structure to do so. Our analysis yields a number of insights including that, in some areas of the country, the counterintuitive result that staying at home can lead to increased disease proliferation. Additionally, we find some positive effects from increased gathering at grocery stores, negative effects of visiting retail stores and workplaces, and even small effects on visiting parks highlighting the complexities travel and migration have on the transmission of diseases.

description: A clump moving through the intracluster medium of a galaxy cluster can drive a bow shock trailed by a bullet-like core. In some cases, such as in the prototypical Bullet cluster, X-rays show a gas bullet with a protruding head and pronounced shoulders. We point out that these features, while difficult to explain without dark matter (DM), naturally arise as the head of the slowed-down gas is gravitationally pulled forward toward its unhindered DM counterpart. X-ray imaging thus provides a unique, robust probe of the offset, collisionless DM, even without gravitational lensing or other auxiliary data. Numerical simulations and a toy model suggest that the effect is common in major mergers, is often associated with a small bullet-head radius of curvature, and may lead to distinct bullet morphologies, consistent with observations.

The children $G_A$ and $G_B$ of a Deza graph $G$ are defined on the vertex set of $G$ such that every two distinct vertices are adjacent in $G_A$ or $G_B$ if and only if they have $a$ or $b$ common neighbours, respectively. A strongly Deza graph is a Deza graph with strongly regular children. In this paper we give a spectral characterisation of strongly Deza graphs, show relationships between eigenvalues, and study strongly Deza graphs which are distance-regular.

description: The presence of smart objects is increasingly widespread and their ecosystem, also known as Internet of Things, is relevant in many different application scenarios. The huge amount of temporally annotated data produced by these smart devices demand for efficient techniques for transfer and storage of time series data. Compression techniques play an important role toward this goal and, despite the fact that standard compression methods could be used with some benefit, there exist several ones that specifically address the case of time series by exploiting their peculiarities to achieve a more effective compression and a more accurate decompression in the case of lossy compression techniques. This paper provides a state-of-the-art survey of the principal time series compression techniques, proposing a taxonomy to classify them considering their overall approach and their characteristics. Furthermore, we analyze the performances of the selected algorithms by discussing and comparing the experimental results that where provided in the original articles. The goal of this paper is to provide a comprehensive and homogeneous reconstruction of the state-of-the-art which is currently fragmented across many papers that use different notations and where the proposed methods are not organized according to a classification.

description: Auch in Indien wird das Klima härter. Inseln versinken im Meer, auf dem Himalaya schmelzen die Gletscher. Dennoch bildet sich erst langsam ein öffentliches Bewusstsein über die neuen Gefahren. Denn aus indischer Perspektive ist der Klimawandel ein Problem der Industrienationen, die dafür die historische Verantwortung tragen. Indien reklamiert für sich das Recht auf Entwicklung und damit auf stärkere Verschmutzung der Atmosphäre und fordert die USA und Europa auf, endlich ernst zu machen mit dem Klimaschutz.

description: Significant efforts are being invested to bring state-of-the-art classification and recognition to edge devices with extreme resource constraints (memory, speed, and lack of GPU support). Here, we demonstrate the first deep network for acoustic recognition that is small, flexible and compression-friendly yet achieves state-of-the-art performance for raw audio classification. Rather than handcrafting a once-off solution, we present a generic pipeline that automatically converts a large deep convolutional network via compression and quantization into a network for resource-impoverished edge devices. After introducing ACDNet, which produces above state-of-the-art accuracy on ESC-10 (96.65%), ESC-50 (87.10%), UrbanSound8K (84.45%) and AudioEvent (92.57%), we describe the compression pipeline and show that it allows us to achieve 97.22% size reduction and 97.28% FLOP reduction while maintaining close to state-of-the-art accuracy 96.25%, 83.65%, 78.27% and 89.69% on these datasets. We describe a successful implementation on a standard off-the-shelf microcontroller and, beyond laboratory benchmarks, report successful tests on real-world datasets.

description: Coronavirus pandemic has affected the whole world extensively and it is of immense importance to understand how the disease is spreading. In this work, we provide evidence of spatial dependence in the pandemic data and accordingly develop a new statistical technique that captures the spatio-temporal dependence pattern of the COVID-19 spread appropriately. The proposed model uses a separable Gaussian spatio-temporal process, in conjunction with an additive mean structure and a random error process. The model is implemented through a Bayesian framework, thereby providing a computational advantage over the classical way. We use state-level data from the United States of America in this study. We show that a quadratic trend pattern is most appropriate in this context. Interestingly, the population is found not to affect the numbers significantly, whereas the number of deaths in the previous week positively affects the spread of the disease. Residual diagnostics establish that the model is adequate enough to understand the spatio-temporal dependence pattern in the data. It is also shown to have superior predictive power than other spatial and temporal models. In fact, we show that the proposed approach can predict well for both short term (1 week) and long term (up to three months).
An improved bound on the chromatic number of the Pancake graphs
Creators: name: Droogendijk, Leen

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: Combinatorics (math.CO)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: In this paper an improved bound on the chromatic number of the Pancake graph $P_n, n\geqslant 2$, is presented. The bound is obtained using a subadditivity property of the chromatic number of the Pancake graph. We also investigate an equitable coloring of $P_n$. An equitable $(n-1)$-coloring based on efficient dominating sets is given and optimal equitable $4$-colorings are considered for small $n$. It is conjectured that the chromatic number of $P_n$ coincides with its equitable chromatic number for any $n\geqslant 2$.
NGO-ideas – Im Spannungsfeld zwischen Selbstanalyse und Evaluierung

description: In der Geschichte der Entwicklungszusammenarbeit ist die Erfolgskontrolle nicht neu. Doch hat ein Wandel stattgefunden, was unter Erfolg verstanden wird und wie er sich bestimmen lässt. Direkt an der Basis, bei den Armen und durch die Armen selbst, kann und soll nun festgestellt werden, ob sie wirklich von entwicklungspolitischen Maßnahmen profitieren und wie sich ihre Situation verbessert. Wie dies systematisch geschehen kann, haben 14 Mitgliedsorganisationen des Verbandes Entwicklungspolitik deutscher Nichtregierungsorganisationen (VENRO) zusammen mit 32 indischen Partnern ausprobiert. Regional fokussiert auf Südindien untersuchten sie im Rahmen des dreijährigen Projektes NGO-ideas die Wirkungen von Maßnahmen im Bereich Sparen und Kredite. Auf einem Symposium Ende Mai in Berlin wurden die Ergebnisse vorgestellt.

description: Soft tissue calcification is a pathological condition. Matrix Gla (MGP) is a potent mineralization inhibitor secreted by cartilage chondrocytes and arteries' vascular smooth muscle cells. Mgp knock-out mice die at 6 weeks due to massive arterial calcification. Arterial calcification results in arterial stiffness and higher systolic blood pressure. Intriguingly, MGP was highly abundant in trabecular meshwork (TM). Because tissue stiffness is relevant to glaucoma, we investigated which additional eye tissues use Mgp's function using knock-in mice.

description: Soft glassy materials such as mayonnaise, wet clays, or dense microgels display under external shear a solid-to-liquid transition. Such a shear-induced transition is often associated with a non-monotonic stress response, in the form of a stress maximum referred to as "stress overshoot". This ubiquitous phenomenon is characterized by the coordinates of the maximum in terms of stress $σ_\text{M}$ and strain $γ_\text{M}$ that both increase as weak power laws of the applied shear rate. Here we rationalize such power-law scalings using a continuum model that predicts two different regimes in the limit of low and high applied shear rates. The corresponding exponents are directly linked to the steady-state rheology and are both associated with the nucleation and growth dynamics of a fluidized region. Our work offers a consistent framework for predicting the transient response of soft glassy materials upon start-up of shear from the local flow behavior to the global rheological observables.
