description: We study properties and the structure of Cartan subgroups in a connected Lie group. We obtain a characterisation of Cartan subgroups which generalises Wüstner's structure theorem for the same. We show that Cartan subgroups are same as those of the centralizers of maximal compact subgroups of the radical. Moreover, we describe a recipe for constructing Cartan subgroups containing certain nilpotent subgroups in a connected solvable Lie group. We characterise the Cartan subgroups in the quotient group modulo a closed normal subgroup as the images of the Cartan subgroups in the ambient group. We also study the density of the images of power maps on a connected Lie group and show that the image of any $k$-th power map has dense image if its restriction to a closed normal subgroup and the corresponding map on the quotient group have dense images.

description: Motivation: Predicting the secondary structure of an RNA sequence is useful in many applications. Existing algorithms (based on dynamic programming) suffer from a major limitation: their runtimes scale cubically with the RNA length, and this slowness limits their use in genome-wide applications. Results: We present a novel alternative $O(n^3)$-time dynamic programming algorithm for RNA folding that is amenable to heuristics that make it run in $O(n)$ time and $O(n)$ space, while producing a high-quality approximation to the optimal solution. Inspired by incremental parsing for context-free grammars in computational linguistics, our alternative dynamic programming algorithm scans the sequence in a left-to-right (5'-to-3') direction rather than in a bottom-up fashion, which allows us to employ the effective beam pruning heuristic. Our work, though inexact, is the first RNA folding algorithm to achieve linear runtime (and linear space) without imposing constraints on the output structure. Surprisingly, our approximate search results in even higher overall accuracy on a diverse database of sequences with known structures. More interestingly, it leads to significantly more accurate predictions on the longest sequence families in that database (16S and 23S Ribosomal RNAs), as well as improved accuracies for long-range base pairs (500+ nucleotides apart), both of which are well known to be challenging for the current models.

description: O projecto "Cabinet of Wonder Évora" tem exibido desenhos e maquetes geométricas realizados pelos alunos do Mestrado Integrado em Arquitetura da Escola das Artes, da Universidade de Évora. Os objetos de estudo são os próprios desenhos e maquetes, fruto da exploração dos alunos sobre o espaço urbano de Évora — representações visuais de uma jornada de descoberta e inovação que revela novas e antigas perspetivas sobre a cidade. O conceito de "gabinete de curiosidades" (Cabinet of Wonder), também conhecido como "quarto das maravilhas", remonta às grandes explorações dos séculos XVI e XVII, quando colecionadores reuniam objetos raros e intrigantes, além de pinturas e desenhos. Este projecto convida o público a uma imersão visual e tridimensional na malha urbana de Évora, explorando tanto o gráfico quanto o geométrico dos edifícios, a memória social e a preservação do património material e imaterial. Através da prática do desenho, entendido como uma ferramenta essencial para refinar a observação do espaço arquitetónico, os estudantes narram histórias visuais que retratam ambientes, processos analíticos e a coleta de elementos arquitetónicos essenciais. As maquetes, por sua vez, materializam momentos construídos que preservam memórias e histórias transmitidas ao longo das gerações. O projeto para além do ambiente académico, busca estabelecer uma conexão contínua entre o passado e o presente da cidade; reúne representações gráficas, cartográficas, pictóricas e tridimensionais, compondo um mapeamento visual em constante evolução da cidade de Évora, rica em história e arquitetura, classificada como Património Mundial desde 1986 e será capital europeia da cultura em 2027.

description: Segmentation is a fundamental task in medical image analysis. The clinical interest is often to measure the volume of a structure. To evaluate and compare segmentation methods, the similarity between a segmentation and a predefined ground truth is measured using metrics such as the Dice score. Recent segmentation methods based on convolutional neural networks use a differentiable surrogate of the Dice score, such as soft Dice, explicitly as the loss function during the learning phase. Even though this approach leads to improved Dice scores, we find that, both theoretically and empirically on four medical tasks, it can introduce a volumetric bias for tasks with high inherent uncertainty. As such, this may limit the method's clinical applicability.

description: This paper attempts to estimate the impact of Non-Communicable Diseases on economic growth in developing countries. In fact, the literature has confirmed the existence of causal liaisons between the epidemiological burden of diseases and macroeconomic aspects. This analysis is conducted through a dynamic panel of 29 middle-income countries around the Mediterranean basin and Central Asia over the period between 1995 and 2016 using the System Generalized Method of Moments (SGMM) to account for the potential endogeneity of the explanatory variables. The robustness and consistence of the estimates was verified by statistical tests and by the estimation of alternative versions of the basic specification.

description: This paper covers the current issue of income and payroll tax burdens on labour. Payroll taxes have had a significant impact on behaviour both in the labour market and economy-wide. Tax revenues and contributions to social insurance schemes are a significant source of government receipts and also an instrument that influences employment policies. This paper focuses on how this burden is measured, using a number of methods on both the macroeconomic and microeconomic levels, emphasizing the effective marginal tax rate, an indicator that reflects the income and payroll tax burden on the working population alongside those interacting with benefit schemes. It also provides an assessment of the income and payroll tax system currently operating in Slovakia, with a particular focus on the labour market, and includes recommendations from the authors.

description: Solid-state batteries (SSBs) have recently been proposed as promising alternatives to conventional Li-ion batteries because of their high level of safety and power density. The engineering of SSBs requires comprehensive modeling of their physics and electrochemistry with an emphasis on the interfacial processes, including electrochemical stability and mechanical stresses. In this article, continuum-scale simulations are chosen as the modeling framework to study such properties. A comprehensive continuum model is constructed for the simulation of the electro-chemo-mechanical (ECM) response of an SSB that resolves the bulk transportation of charged species and their interfacial transfer kinetics. It also studies the formation of space charge layers (SCLs) at interfaces and the development of interfacial stresses. The results suggest that the SCLs and the charge transfer kinetics are intertwined. The emergence of the SCLs and the depletion of reactants increases the charge transfer overpotential. We have also studied the coupling between electrochemistry and mechanics at interfaces, the results of which indicate that the strong electric fields originating at interfaces yield significant stresses. We, thereby, highlight the necessity of considering the ECM coupling in the SCLs when modeling an SSB.

description: Banks have traditionally been in the primacy of utilizing technology to enhance their products, services and efficiency. Investing in new financial technology services may enhance the bank's profitability; but at the same time it may increase costs. Thus, the effect of employing e-services is not obvious and requires to be tested. The study aims at estimating the effect of technological progress on banks performance measured by return on equity (ROE) in 13 Jordanian commercial banks over the period 2011-2016 using panel data. Results reveal that ATMs ratio, ratio of a bank’s branches number, the ratio of visa cards number of each bank out of the total number of visa cards issued by all banks, and the ratio of total credit facilities granted by each bank affect profitability positively as proxied by ROE. On the other hand, the ratio of master cards number of each bank out of the total number of master cards issued by all banks is not significant. The study examines six dummy variables and found that cash withdrawals in foreign currencies and cash transfer within the same bank are the most important services (dummies) that affect bank’s profitability.

description: As the COVID-19 pandemic expands, the shortening of medical equipment is swelling. A key piece of equipment getting far-out attention has been ventilators. The difference between supply and demand is substantial to be handled with normal production techniques, especially under social distancing measures in place. The study explores the rationale of human-robot teams to ramp up production using advantages of both the ease of integration and maintaining social distancing. The paper presents a model for faster integration of collaborative robots and design guidelines for workstation. The scenarios are evaluated for an open source ventilator through continuous human-robot simulation and amplification of results in a discrete event simulation.

The onset of electron-only reconnection

description: Motivated by recent observations of "electron-only" magnetic reconnection, without an ion-scale sheet or ion outflows, in both the Earth's magnetosheath and in numerical simulations, we study the formation and reconnection of electron-scale current sheets at low plasma beta. We first show that ideal sheets collapse to thicknesses much smaller than the ion scales, by deriving an appropriate analogue of the Chapman-Kendall collapse solution. Second, we show that, in practice, reconnection onset happens in these collapsing sheets once they reach a critical aspect ratio, because the tearing instability then becomes faster than their collapse timescale. We show that this can happen for sheet thicknesses larger than the ion scale or at only a few times the electron scale, depending on plasma parameters and the aspect ratio of the collapsing structure, thereby unifying the usual picture of ion-coupled reconnection and the new regime of electron-only reconnection. %and thus the usual picture of ion-coupled reconnection and the new regime of electron-only reconnection can be unified. We derive relationships between plasma beta, ion-to-electron temperature ratio, the aspect ratio, electron outflow velocity, and the final thickness of the sheets, and thus determine under what circumstances electron-scale sheets form and reconnect.

description: The link between stock market and economic development has become a significant volatile issue over the past few years. Our major contribution in the debate concerning the nexus between finance and growth is to bring to the fore the asymmetric effects of stock market development on economic growth under macroeconomic instability. Hence, towards this purpose, the stock market development index and the macroeconomic instability index, which are both constructed by incorporating the exchange rate and unemployment rate, are built based on principal component analysis. Utilizing the nonlinear autoregressive distributed lag model (NARDL) within the framework of a time series approach, we provide evidence that there is an asymmetric relationship between economic growth and the development of the stock market in Turkey.

description: The study deals with student expectations associated with their placement in the labour market. In total, 437 students of the third and fourth grades of grammar schools and secondary schools teaching business and technical fields of study were interviewed as well as 257 potential employers of these students. The objective was to identify whether students appreciate the link between education and salary, whether salary expectations of students are realistic, and last but not least, whether such expectations differ in terms of gender. It was established that students appreciate the link between the level of education and the amount of gross salary, but only if they were employed. If they started their own business, they expect their income to be higher than if they were employed, regardless of their highest completed education. It was interesting to find out that students cannot see any links between future salary and what type of secondary school they study (technical schools, business schools or grammar schools). The key finding of the essay is the fact established using Friedman´s ANOVA and Kendall´s coefficient of concordance, i.e., that the salary expectations of students are higher than the realistic offer of employers, both in terms of salary after secondary school and that after university. There are statistically significant differences between boys and girls - boys expect a higher initial gross salary, both after secondary school and university. Salary expectations are the same concerning gender only in the event they would choose to start their own business.

description: Genus Acutihumerus
Diagnosis. Rostrum bilobated. Pereonites two-six with one small dentiform apophysis in each corner, antero- and posterolaterally. Cheliped and pereopod 1 without exopodite. Female cheliped slender. Pereopod 1 with a large spiniform coxa; dactylus with some distal simple and long setae, and an obvious claw. Dactylus of the pereopods 3–6 with one long setiform prolongation and some short setae subterminaly; unguis absent. Pleon with several setae. Males with dimorphic cheliped, having a small carpus and a very large propodus.
Gender: masculine.
Type species: Acutihumerus cavooreni (Băcescu & Absalao, 1985)
Generic remarks. Guţu (2006) errected the monotypic genus Acutihumerus to accomodate Hemikalliapseudes cavooreni which he removed from the Hemikalliapseudes. The author justified this on the basis of a smaller sensory apparatus of the pereopod 1 dactylus (having subterminal aesthetascs instead of terminal ones). The presence of spines on the corners of pereonite 2–6 is also considered diagnostic by Guţu although this character is also found in Hemikalliapseudes hanstroemi.
Guţu (2006) consider Bacescapseudes patagoniensis Sieg, 1986 for synonomus with Acutihumerus cavooreni but we do not agree with this synonymization (see discussion).

description: Dividend policy and its association to firm value is still a concern for researchers. Empirical research provided evidence that it is relevant in various forms including signaling, pecking order, and agency. The aim of this study is to investigate the dividend policy of Islamic banks versus conventional banks in response to a major financial crisis. By studying the mixed banking industry of the Gulf Cooperation Council countries, known for negligible taxation systems, we provide evidence that conventional and Islamic banks use dividend payouts as a multi-purpose mechanism. At times of economic prosperity, conventional banks use them as signaling and pecking-order instruments, while it is used as an agency problem protection instrument during downturns. For Islamic banks, however, dividend policy is a pecking order mechanism before and after the crisis. Discussions on theoretical and empirical implications are provided.

description: In systems with overdamped dynamics, the Lorentz force reduces the diffusivity of a Brownian particle in the plane perpendicular to the magnetic field. The anisotropy in diffusion implies that the Fokker-Planck equation for the probabiliy distribution of the particle acquires a tensorial coefficient. The tensor, however, is not a typical diffusion tensor due to the antisymmetric elements which account for the fact that Lorentz force curves the trajectory of a moving charged particle. This gives rise to unusual dynamics with features such as additional Lorentz fluxes and a nontrivial density distribution, unlike a diffusive system. The equilibrium properties are, however, unaffected by the Lorentz force. Here we show that by stochastically resetting the Brownian particle, a nonequilibrium steady state can be created which preserves the hallmark features of dynamics under Lorentz force. We then consider a minimalistic example of spatially inhomogeneous magnetic field, which shows how Lorentz fluxes fundamentally alter the boundary conditions giving rise to an unusual stationary state.

During this process, possible ambiguities, as well as more demanding structures, may make the comprehension process difficult for the reader and work misleadingly, distorting the quality of comprehension and ultimately the quality of whole reading. The phenomenon we are studying in the present work, the understanding of ambiguous pronouns in children aged 11-13 years, can be such a factor of misleading the reader, leading to a misinterpretation of what is written. Thus, in the present dissertation, through an on-line self-paced reading experimental task, we examine the way in which children choose to resolve the reference to ambiguous pronouns while reading. Our results coincide with the theories explaining the processing of ambiguous pronouns, as they have been formulated in recent years, as children, in the way they resolve ambiguity, have shown sensitivity to the type of pronoun included in the sentence

description: La question des liens entre les identités et les communautés n’est pas nouvelle. Elle ressurgit à chaque décennie, surtout à la faveur des réformes dans différents domaines d’intervention. Depuis les années 60, les transformations connues dans l’univers des pratiques sociales et interventions professionnelles ont été présentées comme le reflet d’une quête de repères, en rapport avec les besoins complexes du citoyen et les défis de l’adaptation sociale. En effet, dans un monde globalisé où les identités distinctes s’affirment de plus en plus, des défis émergent dans de multiples circonstances mettant à l’épreuve la polysémie des notions telles que la participation citoyenne. La plupart de ces défis tardent à être relevés de façon spécifique. Dès lors, il faut non seulement admettre que les caractéristiques de la participation citoyenne peuvent toucher à des significations différentes, variées, mais il faut surtout accepter que la plupart des concepts mentionnés servent comme outils d’analyse potentiels du contexte historique, politique, culturel, économique, voire religieux, dans lequel évoluent les citoyens contemporains avec leurs craintes, contraintes et motivations (Galichet, 2001).

title: Immune responses to BCG immunisation and Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection in non-human primates
Creators: name: Dowall, Stuart David
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2009

description: The evaluation of new vaccines that are urgently needed against tuberculosis (TB) is hampered by the lack of an immune correlate of protection. One of the main measures of immune function utilised in TB vaccine studies is the assessment of interferon (IFN)-ɣ, as it is known that this cytokine is essential for immunity against infection. The studies conducted in this thesis uses the non-human primate model of TB to address whether two measurements of IFN-ɣ (the frequency of IFN-ɣ secreting cells and the concentration of IFN-ɣ secreted) can be related to survival and thus provide a correlate of protection. The Mycobacterium-specific IFN-ɣ profiles have been assessed in two primate species (rhesus macaques and cynomolgus macaques) following immunisation with BCG, or aerosol infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Additionally, one of the most advanced novel TB vaccines (modified vaccinia virus Ankara expressing antigen 85A; MVA85A) has also been tested in this model. When human clinical trial data (provided by Oxford University) using BCG and BCG with an MVA85A boost were compared with results generated in similarly vaccinated macaques, it was observed that rhesus macaques have kinetically similar IFN-ɣ responses, but at different magnitudes. During a vaccine efficacy study, rhesus macaques were shown to be protected from M. tuberculosis infection by BCG vaccination. This allowed the opportunity for responses in animals protected against disease to be compared with those which were not protected. Although results showed that the capability to secrete larger concentrations of PPD-specific IFN-ɣ early after M. tuberculosis infection correlated with longer survival periods, this was not solely due to prior vaccination. Most of the IFN-ɣ responses during the vaccination periods did not relate to survival after challenge, except peak frequencies of IFN-ɣ secreting cells after BCG vaccination. Therefore, it was concluded that measuring IFN-ɣ alone does not provide the correlate of protection that is presently lacking in TB vaccine research.

 En el marco del proyecto académico “Santa Marta como concept”, que se desarrolló en la Academia de Bellas Artes de Venecia, Escuela de Nuevas Tecnologías para el Arte, en colaboración con la Asociación Arquitectos Venecianos se produjeron los temas y las obras para el evento ¡Open! Estudios Abiertos 2024, un programa del Consejo Nacional Arquitectos Planificadores Paisajistas Conservadores de Italia. Bajo el lema “La cura, Cittá Metropolitana di Venezia” el barrio de Santa Marta adquirió protagonismo, tratándose de un ámbito portuario caracterizado por importantes proyectos waterfront y la presencia de una realidad urbana ex obrera, consolidada, que se encuentra fuera de los principales circuitos turísticos de la ciudad de Venecia. En la experiencia, el barrio representó para los estudiantes de arte, los arquitectos y un grupo de habitantes, un espacio experimental de diálogos, intercambios y de indagación socioespacial multidimensional y multimedial. La relación con el lugar y el reconocimiento de lo ‘patrimoniable’ de Santa Marta es una experiencia estética, que oscilan entre “efecto de presencia” y “efecto de significado”, en un paisaje portuario en devenir y, al mismo tiempo, evanescente, que disipa el valor de la vida social, la memoria colectiva y el patrimonio de la vida cotidiana. La exposición consta de varias obras digitales, que fueron presentadas al público en el interior de la antigua iglesia de Santa Marta. Se trata de video proyecciones, mapping, videoinstalaciones, instalaciones multimedia interactivas y sonido, en diálogo con las propuestas de los arquitectos que apuntan al rediseño urbano de los espacios públicos. El proceso que se llevó a cabo deja unas obras artísticas, la experiencia de co-creación y, sobre todo, las formas y de los significados emergentes en una dimensión participativa, experiencial e interactiva.

description: The gradient-based optimization method for deep machine learning models suffers from gradient vanishing and exploding problems, particularly when the computational graph becomes deep. In this work, we propose the tangent-space gradient optimization (TSGO) for the probabilistic models to keep the gradients from vanishing or exploding. The central idea is to guarantee the orthogonality between the variational parameters and the gradients. The optimization is then implemented by rotating parameter vector towards the direction of gradient. We explain and testify TSGO in tensor network (TN) machine learning, where the TN describes the joint probability distribution as a normalized state $\left| ψ\right\rangle $ in Hilbert space. We show that the gradient can be restricted in the tangent space of $\left\langle ψ\right.\left| ψ\right\rangle = 1$ hyper-sphere. Instead of additional adaptive methods to control the learning rate in deep learning, the learning rate of TSGO is naturally determined by the angle $θ$ as $η= \tan θ$. Our numerical results reveal better convergence of TSGO in comparison to the off-the-shelf Adam.

description: We use resonant soft X-ray diffraction to track the photo-induced dynamics of the antiferromagnetic structure in a NdNiO$_{3}$ thin film. Femtosecond laser pulses with a photon energy of 0.61 eV, resonant with electron transfer between long-bond and short-bond nickel sites, are used to excite the material and drive an ultrafast insulator-metal transition. Polarization sensitive soft X-ray diffraction, resonant to the nickel L$_{3}$-edge, then probes the evolution of the underlying magnetic spiral as a function of time delay with 80 picosecond time resolution. By modelling the azimuthal dependence of the scattered intensity for different linear X-ray polarizations, we benchmark the changes of the local magnetic moments and the spin alignment. The measured changes are consistent with a reduction of the long-bond site magnetic moments and an alignment of the spins towards a more collinear structure at early time delays.
