Investigation on the Navigation Anomaly of Pioneer 10 and 11 probes

description: The present work consists of the investigation of the navigation of Pioneer 10 and 11 probes becoming known as the “Pioneer Anomaly”: the trajectories followed by the spacecrafts did not match the ones retrieved with standard navigation software. Mismatching appeared as a linear drift in the Doppler data received by the spacecrafts, which has been ascribed to a constant sunward acceleration of about 8.5×10-10 m/s2. The study presented hereafter tries to find a convincing explanation to this discrepancy.
The research is based on the analysis of Doppler tracking data through the ODP (Orbit Determination Program), developed by NASA/JPL. The method can be summarized as: seek for any kind of physics affecting the dynamics of the spacecraft or the propagation of radiometric data, which may have not been properly taken into account previously, and check whether or not these might rule out the anomaly. A major effort has been put to build a thermal model of the spacecrafts for predicting the force due to anisotropic thermal radiation, since this is a model not natively included in the ODP. 
Tracking data encompassing more than twenty years of Pioneer 10 interplanetary cruise, plus twelve years of Pioneer 11 have been analyzed in light of the results of the thermal model. Different strategies of orbit determination have been implemented, including single arc, multi arc and stochastic filters, and their performance compared. Orbital solutions have been obtained without the needing of any acceleration other than the thermal recoil one indicating it as the responsible for the observed linear drift in the Doppler residuals. As a further support to this we checked that inclusion of additional constant acceleration as does not improve the quality of orbital solutions. All the tests performed lead to the conclusion that no anomalous acceleration is acting on Pioneers spacecrafts.

description: Fusarium Head Blight (FHB) is a worldwide cereal disease responsible of significant yield reduction, inferior grain quality, and mycotoxin accumulation. Fusarium graminearum and F. culmorum are the prevalent causal agents. FHB has been endemic in Italy since 1995, while there are no records about its presence in Syria. Forty-eight and forty-six wheat kernel samples were collected from different localities and analyzed for fungal presence and mycotoxin contamination. Fusarium strains were identified morphologically but the molecular confirmation was performed only for some species. Further differentiation of the chemotypes for trichothecene synthesis by F. graminearum and F. culmorum strains was conducted by PCR assays. Fusarium spp. were present in 62.5% of Syrian samples. 3Acetyl-Deoxynivalenol and nivalenol chemotypes were found in F. culmorum whilst all F. graminearum strains belonged to NIV chemotype. Italian samples were infected with Fusarium spp for 67.4%. 15Ac-DON was the prevalent chemotype in F. graminearum, while 3Ac-DON chemotype was detected in F. culmorum. The 60 Syrian Fusarium strains tested for mycotoxin production by HPLC-MS/MS have shown the prevalence of zearalenone while the emerging mycotoxins were almost absent. The analysis of the different Syrian and Italian samples of wheat kernels for their mycotoxin content showed that Syrian kernels were mainly contaminated with storage mycotoxins, aflatoxins and ochratoxin whilst Italian grains with mainly Fusarium mycotoxins. The aggressiveness of several Syrian F. culmorum isolates was estimated using three different assays: floret inoculation in growth chamber, ear inoculation in the field and a validated new Petri-dish test. The study of the behaviour of different Syrian wheat cultivars, grown under different conditions, has revealed that  Jory is a FHB Syrian tolerant cultivar. This is the first study in Syria on Fusarium spp. associated to FHB, Fusarium mycotoxin producers and grain quality.

description: This paper presents a weakly supervised image segmentation method that adopts tight bounding box annotations. It proposes generalized multiple instance learning (MIL) and smooth maximum approximation to integrate the bounding box tightness prior into the deep neural network in an end-to-end manner. In generalized MIL, positive bags are defined by parallel crossing lines with a set of different angles, and negative bags are defined as individual pixels outside of any bounding boxes. Two variants of smooth maximum approximation, i.e., $α$-softmax function and $α$-quasimax function, are exploited to conquer the numeral instability introduced by maximum function of bag prediction. The proposed approach was evaluated on two pubic medical datasets using Dice coefficient. The results demonstrate that it outperforms the state-of-the-art methods.

description: It has been known for some time that some microorganisms can swim faster in high-viscosity gel-forming polymer solutions. These gel-like media come to mimic highly viscous heterogeneous environment that these microorganisms encounter in-vivo. The qualitative explanation of this phenomena first offered by Berg and Turner [Nature (London) 278, 349 (1979)], suggests that propulsion enhancement is a result of flagellum pushing on quasi-rigid loose polymer network formed in some polymer solutions. Inspired by these observations, inertia-less propulsion in a heterogeneous viscous medium composed of sparse array of stationary obstacles embedded into incompressible Newtonian liquid is considered. It is demonstrated that for prescribed propulsion gaits, including propagating surface distortions and rotating helical filament, the propulsion speed is enhanced when compared to swimming in purely viscous solvent. It is also shown that the locomotion in heterogenous viscous media is characterized by improved hydrodynamic efficiency. The results of the rigorous numerical simulation of the rotating helical filament propelled through a random sparse array of stationary obstructions are in close agreement with predictions of the proposed resistive force theory based on effective media approximation.

description: This work presents a new multiphase SPH model that includes the shifting algorithm and a variable smoothing length formalism to simulate multi-phase flows with accuracy and proper interphase management. The implementation was performed in the DualSPHysics code and validated for different canonical experiments, such as the single-phase and multiphase Poiseuille and Couette test cases. The method is accurate even for the multiphase case for which two phases are simulated. The shifting algorithm and the variable smoothing length formalism has been applied in the multiphase SPH model to improve the numerical results at the interphase even when it is highly deformed and non-linear effects become important. The obtained accuracy in the validation tests and the good interphase definition in the instability cases indicate an important improvement in the numerical results compared with single-phase and multiphase models where the shifting algorithm and the variable smoothing length formalism are not applied.

description: We evaluate the vacuum polarization tensor (VPT) for a massless Dirac field in 1+1 and 3+1 dimensions, in the presence of a particular kind of defect, which in a special limit imposes bag boundary conditions. We also show that the chiral anomaly in the presence of such a defect is the same as when no defects are present, both in 1+1 and 3+1 dimensions. This implies that the induced vacuum current in 1+1 dimensions due to the lowest order VPT is exact.

description: We show that two P11 nucleon resonance poles near the pi Delta threshold, obtained in several analyses, are stable against large variations of parameters within a dynamical coupled-channels analysis based on meson-exchange mechanisms. By also performing an analysis based on a model with a bare nucleon state, we find that this two-pole structure is insensitive to the analytic structure of the amplitude in the region below pi N threshold. Our results are M_pole = (1363^{+9}_{-6} -i79^{+3}_{-5}) MeV and (1373^{+12}_{-10} -i114^{+14}_{-9}) MeV. We also demonstrate that the number of poles in the 1.5 GeV < W < 2 GeV region could be more than one, depending on how the structure of the single-energy solution of SAID is fitted. For three-pole solutions, our best estimated result of a pole near N(1710) listed by Particle Data Group is (1829^{+131}_{-65} -i192^{+88}_{-110}) MeV which is close to the results of several previous analyses. Our results indicate the need of more accurate pi N reaction data in the W > 1.6 GeV region for high precision resonance extractions.

description: Given a smooth prime Fano threefold $X$ of genus 7 we consider its homologically projectively dual curve $Γ$ and the natural integral functor $Φ^{!}:D^b(X) \to D^b(Γ)$. We prove that, for $d\geq 6$, $Φ^{!}$ gives a birational map from a component of the moduli scheme $M_X(2,1,d)$ of rank 2 stable sheaves on $X$ with $c_1=1$, $c_2=d$ to a generically smooth $2d-9$-dimensional component of the Brill-Noether variety $W^{2d-11}_{d-5,5d-24}$ of stable vector bundles on $Γ$ of rank $d-5$ and degree $5d-24$ with at least $2d-10$ sections. This map turns out to be an isomorphism for $d=6$, and the moduli space $M_X(2,1,6)$ is fine. For general $X$, this moduli space is a smooth irreducible threefold.

For example, the Goldie Theorem for prime rings follows from Schur's Lemma and the Density Theorem for the class of rationally uniform, homogeneous modules in a similar way as the Wedderburn-Artin Theorem follows from Schur's Lemma and the Density Theorem for the class of irreducible modules.

description: As novel magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agent, gadofullerene encapsulated redox nanoparticles (Gd3NPs) were prepared by encapsulation of Gd3N@C80 in the core of core-shell-type polymer micelles composed of original polyamine with a reactive oxygen species (ROS)-scavenging ability. Because Gd3NPs possess biocompatible PEG shell with a smaller size (ca. 50 nm), they had high colloidal stability in a physiological environment, and showed low cytotoxicity. Specific accumulation of Gd3NPs in a tumor was confirmed in tumor-bearing mice after systemic administration. The tumor/muscle (T/M) ratio of the Gd ion reached five at 7.5 h after the administration. T1-weighted MRI signal enhancement of the T/M ratio increased by 8% at 6 h postinjection of Gd3NPs (Gd dose:14.35 μmol/kg). Although Gd3NPs showed a tendency for extended blood circulation, they did not have severe adverse effects, probably due to the confinement of Gd in a hydrophobic fullerene in addition to the ROS-scavenging capacity of these nanoparticles. In sharp contrast, systemic administration of Gd-chelate nanoparticles (GdCNPs) to mice disrupts liver function, increases leukocyte counts, and destroys spleen and skin tissues. Leaking of Gd ions from GdCNPs may cause such adverse effects. Based on these results, we expect that Gd3NPs is high-performance MRI contrast agents for tumor diagnosis.

description: We establish a close connection between stable commutator length in free groups and the geometry of sails (roughly, the boundary of the convex hull of the set of integer lattice points) in integral polyhedral cones. This connection allows us to show that the scl norm is piecewise rational linear in free products of Abelian groups, and that it can be computed via integer programming. Furthermore, we show that the scl spectrum of nonabelian free groups contains elements congruent to every rational number modulo $\mathbb{Z}$, and contains well-ordered sequences of values with ordinal type $ω^ω$. Finally, we study families of elements $w(p)$ in free groups obtained by surgery on a fixed element $w$ in a free product of Abelian groups of higher rank, and show that $\scl(w(p)) \to \scl(w)$ as $p \to \infty$.

description: Xyloglucan (XG) is a multibranched polysaccharide consisting of a main chain β-1,4-glucan with xylose and galactose side chains. In this study, cholesterol-bearing XG (CHXG) was synthesized by the reaction of XG with cholesteryl N- (6-isocyanatohexyl) carbamate. The CHXG molecules self-assembled in water to form nanogels consisting of about 100 molecules of XG, and were characterized using differential light scattering and transmission electron microscopy. The number of cholesteryl groups per physical cross-linking site was estimated using a fluorescence quenching method. The resulting CHXG nanogels could be complexed with molecules of low molecular weight, such as iodine and paclitaxel, making the nanogels useful as drug carriers. The CHXG nanogels could also be specifically internalized by hepatocytes via the galactose receptors on their cell surface. CHXG self-assembled nanogels may be suitable as novel drug nanocarriers with galactose-specific targetability.

description: The introduction of anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody therapy with rituximab in the 1990s greatly improved outcomes for patients with B-cell malignancies. Disease resistance or relapse after successful initial therapy and declining efficacy of subsequent rounds of treatment were the basis for the development of alternative anti-CD20-based antibody therapies. The novel anti-CD20 antibodies of atumumab, ublituximab, and obinutuzumab were developed to be differentiated via structural and mechanistic features over rituximab. We provide an overview of preclinical and clinical data, and demonstrate ways in which the pharmacodynamic properties of these novel agents translate into clinical benefit for patients. Of the novel anti-CD20 antibodies, only obinutuzumab has shown consistently improved efficacy over rituximab in randomized pivotal trials in indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma and chronic lymphocytic leukemia. The Phase 3 GALLIUM trial demonstrated significant improvements in progression-free survival with obinutuzumab-based immunochemotherapy over rituximab-based immunochemotherapy. Novel combinations of obinutuzumab, including with chemotherapy-free options are being explored, such as with the newly approved combinations of obinutuzumab with venetoclax, ibrutinib, or acalabrutinib. The biggest unmet need remains in the treatment of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma; emerging options in this field include the use of CAR-T cells and T-cell bispecific antibodies.

description: We searched for the $α$ condensed state in $^{13}$C by measuring the $α$ inelastic scattering at $E_α = 388$ MeV at forward angles including 0 degrees. We performed the distorted-wave Born-approximation calculation with the single-folding potential and the multipole decomposition analysis to determine the isoscalar transition strengths in $^{13}$C. We found a bump structure around $E_x = 12.5$ MeV due to the isoscalar monopole ($IS0$) transition. A peak-fit analysis suggested that this bump consisted of several $1/2^-$ states. We propose that this bump is due to the mirror state of the 13.5 MeV-state in $^{13}$N, which dominantly decays to the $α$ condensed state in $^{12}$C. It was speculated that the $1/2^-$ states around $E_x = 12.5$ MeV were candidates for the $α$ condensed state, but the $3α+ n$ orthogonality condition model suggests that the $α$ condensed state is unlikely to emerge as the negative parity states. We also found two $1/2^+$ or $3/2^+$ states at $E_x = 14.5$ and 16.1 MeV excited with the isoscalar dipole ($IS1$) strengths. We suggest that the 16.1-MeV state is a possible candidate for the $α$ condensed state predicted by the cluster-model calculations on the basis of the good correspondence between the experimental and calculated level structures. However, the theoretical $IS1$ transition strength for this state is significantly smaller than the measured value. Further experimental information is strongly desired to establish the $α$ condensed state in $^{13}$C.

description: High-angular resolution observations at sub-millimeter/millimeter wavelengths of disks surrounding young stars have shown that their morphology is made of azimuthally-symmetric or point-symmetric substructures, in some cases with spiral arms, localized spur- or crescent-shaped features. The majority of theoretical studies with the aim of interpreting the observational results have focused on disk models with planets, under the assumption that the disk substructures are due to the disk-planet interaction. However, so far only in very few cases exoplanets have been detected in these systems. Furthermore, some substructures are expected to appear \textit{before} planets form, as they are necessary to drive the concentration of small solids which can lead to the formation of planetesimals. In this work we present observational predictions from high-resolution 3D radiative hydrodynamical models which follow the evolution of gas and solids in a protoplanetary disk. We focus on substructures in the distribution of millimeter-sized and smaller solid particles produced by the vertical shear instability. We show that their characteristics are compatible with some of the shallow gaps detected in recent observations at sub-mm/mm wavelengths, and present predictions for future observations with better sensitivity and angular resolution with ALMA and a Next Generation Very Large Array.

description: Single-task learning in artificial neural networks will be able to learn the model very well, and the benefits brought by transferring knowledge thus become limited. In this regard, when the number of tasks increases (e.g., semantic segmentation, panoptic segmentation, monocular depth estimation, and 3D point cloud), duplicate information may exist across tasks, and the improvement becomes less significant. Multi-task learning has emerged as a solution to knowledge-transfer issues and is an approach to scene understanding which involves multiple related tasks each with potentially limited training data. Multi-task learning improves generalization by leveraging the domain-specific information contained in the training data of related tasks. In urban management applications such as infrastructure development, traffic monitoring, smart 3D cities, and change detection, automated multi-task data analysis for scene understanding based on the semantic, instance, and panoptic annotation, as well as monocular depth estimation, is required to generate precise urban models. In this study, a common framework for the performance assessment of multi-task learning methods from fixed-wing UAV images for 2D/3D city modeling is presented.
In situ formation of super-Earth/sub-Neptune driven by the planetary rotation

description: Kepler's observation shows that many of the detected planets are super-Earths. They are inside a range of critical masses overlapping the core masses (2-20 $M_{\bigoplus}$), which would trigger the runaway accretion and develop the gas giants. Thus, super-Earths/sub-Neptunes can be formed by restraining runaway growth of gaseous envelopes. We assess the effect of planetary rotation in delaying the mass growth. The centrifugal force, induced by spin, will offset a part of the gravitational force and deform the planet. Tracking the change in structure, we find that the temperature at the radiative-convective boundary (RCB) is approximate to the boundary temperature. Since rotation reduces the radiation energy densities in the convective and radiative layers, RCB will penetrate deeper. The cooling luminosity would decrease. Under this condition, the evolutionary timescale can exceed the disk lifetime (10 Myr), and a super-Earth/sub-Neptune could be formed after undergoing additional mass loss processes. In the dusty atmosphere, even a lower angular velocity can also promote a super-Earth/sub-Neptune forming. Therefore, we conclude that rotation can slow down the planet's cooling and then promote a super-Earth/sub-Neptune forming.

description: We intended to create a free-standing and organic–inorganic hybrid colloidal membrane. The colloidal membrane was assembled from polymeric capsules, which were prepared by coating of polymer layers over a liposome (liponanocapsules). In this study, two approaches were employed for mineralization over the membrane with calcium phosphate (CaP) to control its mechanical robustness and biodegradability (hybrid bioscaffold). One approach was based on CaP deposition over the liponanocapsules and their assembly into the hybrid membrane. CaP deposition was conducted via the counter-diffusion of phosphate ions and calcium ions across the capsule wall to obtain hybrid nanocapsules. Then, free-standing hybrid membrane was obtained by utilizing hybrid nanocapsules as building blocks for drying-mediated assembly. The obtained hybrid membrane was degraded into individual nanocapsules and degradation could be tuned by the crystal structure of CaP. In another approach, the free-standing membrane was assembled from DNA-coated liponanocapsules and then the counter-diffusion of ions was carried out across each assembled nanocapsule for CaP mineralization. The mechanical robustness of the membrane was significantly improved and its degradation was suppressed by CaP mineralization. This is probably because mineral cross-linkages were formed in the interspace between each nanocapsule. Fluorescent substances could be incorporated in each nanocapsule of the membrane and their release could be tuned by the control in crystal properties of CaP.

description: Surface functionalization of nanoparticles is a crucial factor for nanoparticle-mediated drug and nucleic acid delivery. Particularly, the density of targeting ligands on nanoparticle significantly affects the affinity of nanoparticles to specific cellular surface (or receptor) through the multivalent binding effect. Herein, multilayered polyion complexes (mPICs) are prepared to possess varying densities of cyclic RGD peptide (cRGD) ligands for cancer-targeted small interfering RNA (siRNA) delivery. A template PIC is first prepared by mixing siRNAs with homo catiomers of N-substituted polyaspartamide bearing tetraethylenepentamine (PAsp(TEP)) in aqueous solution, followed by silica-coating through silicate condensation reaction. Then, silica-coated PICs (sPICs) are further covered with block catiomers of PAsp(TEP) and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) equipped with cRGD ligand. Successful preparation of targeted mPICs is confirmed from the changes in size and ζ-potential and the elemental analysis by transmission electron microscopy. Notably, the number of cRGD ligands per mPIC is regulated by altering the silicate concentration upon preparation of sPICs, which is confirmed by fluorescence correlation spectroscopy using fluorescent-labeled block catiomers. Ultimately, the targeted mPICs with a higher number of cRGD ligands demonstrate more efficient cellular uptake in cultured cancer cells, leading to enhanced gene silencing activity.

description: The present dissertation relates to methodologies and technics about industrial and mechanical design. The author intends to give a complete idea about the world of design, showing the theories of Quality Function Deployment and TRIZ, of other methods just like planning, budgeting, Value Analysis and Engineering, Concurrent Engineering, Design for Assembly and Manufactoring, etc., and their applications to five concrete cases. In these cases there are also illustrated design technics as CAD, CAS, CAM; Rendering, which are ways to transform an idea into reality. The most important object of the work is, however, the birth of a new methodology, coming up from a comparison between QFD and TRIZ and their integration through other
methodologies, just like Time and Cost Analysis, learned and skilled during an important experience in a very famous Italian automotive factory.

description: Objective: To document the existence of a relationship between apnea of prematurity (AOP) and gastroesophageal reflux (GER) in preterm infants.
Setting: One Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
Patients: Twenty-six preterm infants (gestational age<32 weeks) with recurrent apneas.
Intervention: Simultaneous and synchronized recording of polysomnography and pH-impedance monitoring (pH-MII). Polysomnography detects and characterizes apneas, by recording of breathing movement, nasal airflow, electrocardiogram, pulse oximeter saturation. pH-MII is the state-of-theart methodology for GER detection in preterm newborns.
Main outcome measures: Relationship between AOP and GER, which were considered temporally related if both started within 30 seconds of each other.
Results: One-hundred-fifty-four apneas out of 1136 were temporally related to GER. The frequency of apnea during the one-minute time around the onset of GER was significantly higher than the one detected in the GER-free period (p=0.03). Furthermore, the frequency of apnea in the
30 seconds after GER (GER-triggered apneas) was greater than that detected in the 30 seconds before (p=0.01). A great inter-individual variability was documented in the proportion of GERtriggered apneas. A strong correlation between total number of apneas and the difference between
apneas detected 30 seconds after and before GER was found (p=0.034).
Conclusions: Our data show that a variable rate of apneas can be triggered by GER in very preterm infant. Further studies are needed to recognise clinical features which identify those patients who are more susceptible to GER-triggered apneas.

description: This research aimed to develop reliable methods to quantitatively capture subjective data, which can then be used to enable more sophisticated decision-making during the development process of tennis rackets. All of the main categories of sensory evaluation were applied, making this research the most comprehensive work to date in the area of tennis racket feel. The main part of this research investigated the effectiveness of a trained panel in evaluating racket feel. This panel went through a process of screening, training, and calibration.The panel was significantly more reliable compared to naïve sensory assessors. The most effective element of the process seemed to be the exclusion of insensitive assessors. There was, however, some form of training effect present, particularly for assessors without prior experience. The panel data also proved to be externally valid. Naïve consumers were able to generate reliable data when using rapid sensory profiling techniques. Moreover, the reliability of several protocol conditions was examined. Whether to use an open protocol, in which assessors hit with each other without instructions, or a closed protocol, in which conditions are more controlled, did not affect the reliability of ratings. However, the type of assessment scale significantly affected the reliability of ratings. Paired comparisons yielded significantly more reliable data compared to Visual Analogue Scales.The results of various discrimination tests also revealed that tennis players are more sensitive to changes in swing weight compared to frame stiffness. Moreover, the sound and damping properties of specific frame or string modes seem to influence our perception of tennis rackets. Future research should therefore focus on sensory cues used by players when making judgments and how these cues affect preferences. These findings will support racket engineers in making the development process more effective by collecting reliable subjective data and fine-tuning the most important parameters.

description: The in vitro enzymatic synthesis of cellulose and its derivatives has attracted growing interest for fabricating novel cellulose-based supramolecular assemblies with unique physicochemical and functional properties. However, their potential biomedical applications have not been sufficiently demonstrated despite their useful features of designable structures and tailor-made surface functionalities. Herein, we demonstrated the production of crystalline nanoribbons composed of cellulose oligomer derivatives with primary amino groups via cellodextrin phosphorylase-catalyzed single-step reactions using α-d-glucose l-phosphate monomers and 2-aminoethyl-β-d-glucoside primers. Then, the fundamental properties of protein adsorption onto the surface-aminated nanoribbons were systematically investigated. It was found that the primary amino groups on the nanoribbon surfaces effectively attracted negatively charged proteins but not positively charged ones. Furthermore, it was demonstrated that the nanoribbons did not show apparent cytotoxicity against cultured cells. Taken together, our findings open a new avenue for the facile production of cellulose-based supramolecular assemblies with tailor-made functionality for future biomedical applications.

description: We use computer simulations to study the microscopic dynamics of an athermal assembly of soft particles near the fluid-to-solid, jamming transition. Borrowing tools developed to study dynamic heterogeneity near glass transitions, we discover a number of original signatures of the jamming transition at the particle scale. We observe superdiffusive, spatially heterogeneous, and collective particle motion over a characteristic scale which displays a surprising non-monotonic behavior across the transition. In the solid phase, the dynamics is an intermittent succession of elastic deformations and plastic relaxations, which are both characterized by scale-free spatial correlations and system size dependent dynamic susceptibilities. Our results show that dynamic heterogeneities in dense athermal systems and glass-formers are very different, and shed light on recent experimental reports of `anomalous' dynamical behavior near the jamming transition of granular and colloidal assemblies.
