description: Five in silico principal properties (PPs) for 218 heterocyclic cations and four PPs for 38 organic and inorganic anionic counterparts of ionic liquids (ILs) were derived by the VolSurf+ approach. VolSurf+ physicochemical descriptors take into account several cationic structural features of ILs such as heterocyclic aromatic and non-aromatic cationic cores, alkyl chain length, presence of oxygen atoms in the substituents as well as the properties of a wide variety of inorganic and organic anions. Combination of these cation and anion PPs can provide descriptors for over 8000 ILs, thus allowing the development of QSPR models for IL cytotoxicity (IPC-81 rat cell line) and enzyme toxicity (acetylcholinesterase inhibition). The adoption of a Partial Least Squares approach, relating PPs and toxicities, provided affordable predictions for ILs in both learning and external validation sets, implying the possibility to extend the predictive model to a set of 520 ILs. This allows us to establish priorities in selecting ILs for experimental hazard assessment as required by the REACH regulation.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: Using the Geant4 code, we have performed a full-scale simulation of the LSD response to the neutrino burst from SN1987A. The neutrino flux parameters were chosen according to one of the models: the standard collapse model or the rotational supernova explosion model. We showed that, depending on the chosen parameters, one can either obtain the required number of pulses in the detector or reproduce their energy spectrum, but not both together. The interaction of neutrino radiation both with LSD itself and with the material of the surrounding soil was taken into account in our simulation. We also explored the hypothesis that the entire unique LSD signal at 2:52 UT was produced by neutron fluxes from the surrounding granite. However, this hypothesis was not confirmed by our simulation. The results obtained provide a rich material for possible interpretations.

description: Clarifying the underlying user information need by asking clarifying questions is an important feature of modern conversational search system. However, evaluation of such systems through answering prompted clarifying questions requires significant human effort, which can be time-consuming and expensive. In this paper, we propose a conversational User Simulator, called USi, for automatic evaluation of such conversational search systems. Given a description of an information need, USi is capable of automatically answering clarifying questions about the topic throughout the search session. Through a set of experiments, including automated natural language generation metrics and crowdsourcing studies, we show that responses generated by USi are both inline with the underlying information need and comparable to human-generated answers. Moreover, we make the first steps towards multi-turn interactions, where conversational search systems asks multiple questions to the (simulated) user with a goal of clarifying the user need. To this end, we expand on currently available datasets for studying clarifying questions, i.e., Qulac and ClariQ, by performing a crowdsourcing-based multi-turn data acquisition. We show that our generative, GPT2-based model, is capable of providing accurate and natural answers to unseen clarifying questions in the single-turn setting and discuss capabilities of our model in the multi-turn setting. We provide the code, data, and the pre-trained model to be used for further research on the topic.

description: Most methods for automated full-bore rock core image analysis (description, colour, properties distribution, etc.) are based on separate core column analyses. The core is usually imaged in a box because of the significant amount of time taken to get an image for each core column. The work presents an innovative method and algorithm for core columns extraction from core boxes. The conditions for core boxes imaging may differ tremendously. Such differences are disastrous for machine learning algorithms which need a large dataset describing all possible data variations. Still, such images have some standard features - a box and core. Thus, we can emulate different environments with a unique augmentation described in this work. It is called template-like augmentation (TLA). The method is described and tested on various environments, and results are compared on an algorithm trained on both 'traditional' data and a mix of traditional and TLA data. The algorithm trained with TLA data provides better metrics and can detect core on most new images, unlike the algorithm trained on data without TLA. The algorithm for core column extraction implemented in an automated core description system speeds up the core box processing by a factor of 20.

description: A homologous series of rod-like molecules with three phenyl rings in the core and terminal alkoxy chains are synthesised from mesogenic two-ring aldehyde by coupling with non-mesogenic 4-alkoxy anilines. The mesophase properties are evaluated with hot-stage optical polarising microscopy and differential scanning calorimetry, and accordingly, all the molecules exhibited enantiotropic nematic and smectic C phases along with monotropic low-temperature smectic phases. For a representative homologue, the existence of smectic C phase is further confirmed by noticing a sharp reflection at small angle region in powder X-ray diffraction which varies with change in temperature. The main focus of the investigation, however, is the clear demonstration of chemical shift assignment of static 13C NMR of a representative three-phenyl ring mesogen in smectic C phase. In this novel approach, the static 13C NMR spectral data of synthetic mesogenic intermediate namely two-ring aldehyde are utilised for the chemical shift assignment of three-ring mesogens. Further, the orientational order parameter of two-ring aldehyde in smectic A and three-ring mesogen in smectic C phase is carried out by measuring the 13C-1H dipolar couplings by 2D separated local field spectroscopy.

description: Over the past few decades, interest in algorithms for face recognition has been growing rapidly and has even surpassed human-level performance. Despite their accomplishments, their practical integration with a real-time performance-hungry system is not feasible due to high computational costs. So in this paper, we explore the recent, fast, and accurate face recognition system that can be easily integrated with real-time devices, and tested the algorithms on robot hardware platforms to confirm their robustness and speed.

Multi-Conjugate Adaptive Optics with two Deformable Mirrors - Requirements and Performance

description: In order to increase the corrected field of view of an adaptive optics (AO) system, several deformable mirrors (DM) have to be placed in the conjugate planes of the dominant turbulent layers (multi-conjugate adaptive optics, MCAO [Beckers et al.]). The performance of MCAO systems depends on the quality of the wavefront sensing of the individual layers and on the number of corrected modes in each individual layer as in single layer AO systems. In addition, the increase in corrected field of view depends on the number of guide stars providing information about the turbulence over a sufficiently large area in each turbulent layer. In this paper, we investigate these points and provide formulae for calculating the increased field of view with a new approach using the spatial correlation functions of the applied polynomials (e.g. Zernike). We also present a new scheme of measuring the individual wavefront distortion of each of the dominant layers with a Shack-Hartmann-Curvature Sensor using gradient information as well as scintillation. An example for the performance of a two layer MCAO system is given for the 3.5-m telescope of the Calar Alto Observatory, Spain, using a measured Cn2-profile. The corrected field of view in K-band (2.2 Microns) can be as large as 3 arcmin with a Strehl ratio above 60%.

EXPLORING THE EFFICACY OF PEER-LED READING CIRCLES IN IMPROVING ENGLISH READING SKILLS AMONG ADULT LEARNERS
Creators: name: Inagamova Umida Rustamovna Lecturer, Language Teaching Department,  Uzbek State University of World Languages
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: This qualitative study investigates the efficacy of peer-led reading circles (PLRCs) in improving English reading skills among adult learners in the Ferghana region. Through semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions, and observational analysis, the research explores participants' experiences, highlighting the impact of PLRCs on reading proficiency, engagement, and confidence. Findings indicate that PLRCs significantly enhance learners' reading comprehension and vocabulary, foster a supportive learning environment, and boost learners' motivation and self-efficacy in language use. The study also identifies challenges in implementing PLRCs, such as the selection of appropriate reading materials and managing group dynamics, and provides suggestions for overcoming these obstacles. The implications for ESL educators and recommendations for future research underscore the potential of PLRCs to transform ESL education by leveraging the social and collaborative aspects of learning. The study contributes to the body of literature on adult ESL education and offers practical insights for incorporating PLRCs into language learning programs.

description: We demonstrate the opportunities of first-principles density functional theory (DFT) calculations for the development of new metallurgical refining processes. As such, a methodology based on DFT calculations is developed to discover new pyrometallurgical refining processes that use the addition of a third element to remove an impurity from a molten host material. As a case study, this methodology is applied to the refining of lead. The proposed method predicts the existing refining routes as well as alternative processes. The most interesting candidate for the removal of arsenic from lead is experimentally verified, which confirms the suitability of the remover element. The method is therefore considered as a useful approach to speed up the discovery of new pyrometallurgical refining processes, as it provides an ordered set of interesting candidate remover elements

description: ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to generate knowledge on how educational-spiritual care intervention (ESCI) affect diabetes self-care activities of community dwelling senior citizens with type 2 diabetes, and to gain insight on the qualities of the intervention that lead to treatment satisfaction. The study utilized a quasi-experimental one group pretest posttest design for the quantitative part and focus group discussion of the qualitative part. It was participated by 33 senior citizens with type 2 diabetes who were seeking consultation at a primary health care center. Findings suggest that after the intervention, significant improvement in self-care activities and spiritual health of senior citizens were observed. Finding further suggests variables such as family support. Having concordant, comorbidities. The number of years diagnosed with diabetes, however, was not associated with any self-care activity. The participants described the qualities of the intervention that gave them treatment satisfaction in themes as being humane, being accessible, being educational, effective, and on that provides social connectedness. Diabetes knowledge and spiritual health leads to improvement in self-care practices. Family support that allows seniors to shift role from caregiver to care receiver enhances self-care. Increased clinic visits enable physicians to prescribe blood glucose monitoring and therefore increase the practice of this self-care activity. Comorbidities that are concordant with diabetes have similar diet regimen can increase the chances of practicing this self-care activity. It is not the number of years of diagnosis that affect the practice of self-care, but the type of symptoms felt. When symptoms are uncomfortable, patients are more likely to practice self-care. Analysis revealed that the qualities of the intervention that result to treatment satisfaction are mostly influenced by good nurse-patient interaction since it is the factor that establishes the kind and the manner of how care is delivered. Educational-spiritual care intervention (ESCI) therefore provides a holistic nursing care which improves the practice of diabetes self-care activities, spiritual health and treatment satisfaction of community dwelling senior citizens with type 2 diabetes.

Die Bundesregierung hat sich im Nationalen Aktionsplan gegen Wohnungslosigkeit das ambitionierte Ziel gesetzt, Obdach- und Wohnungslosigkeit bis zum Jahr 2030 zu überwinden. Der Plan greift unter anderem das Konzept Housing First – das bedingungslose Angebot einer eigenen Wohnung an Wohnungslose – als wichtigen Eckpfeiler auf. Die beiden ILS-Wissenschaftler*innen Lea Fischer und Dr. Michael Kolocek stellen im ILS-IMPULSE das Konzept genauer vor. Dabei beleuchten sie die politische Debatte zu Housing First und erläutern den aktuellen Umsetzungsstand in Nordrhein-Westfalen. Neben der individuellen Wohnraumversorgung nehmen sie auch (halb-)öffentliche Räume in den Blick: Sie werben für eine solidarische Innenstadt, die allen Menschen die Möglichkeit bietet, lebenswichtige Bedürfnisse zu befriedigen.

  Esta especie está calificada como elemento europeo (PRIETO PILOÑA et al., 2002) y, de acuerdo con SCHAWALLER (1996), se distribuye por casi toda Europa, Turquía e Irán. Aunque ya fue citada por KOCHER (1958) del Atlas (Grand Atlas et Moyenne Atlas) entre 1500 y 2000 m, sin datos concretos de localidades, estos registros han sido al parecer ignorados por algunos autores posteriores que la han considerado una especie exclusivamente europea y de Asia Menor (véanse, entre otros, SCHAWALLER, 1996; BERTIN & LEBBORONI, 1996), si bien el reciente catálogo paleártico (RŮŽIČKA & SCHNEIDER, 2004) sí recoge su presencia en Marruecos. Hasta donde hemos podido revisar, no hemos encontrado otros registros africanos de esta especie, por lo que las citas que se aportan amplían de forma considerable su distribución en Marruecos, además de representar las primeras en localidades a baja altitud.

description: Despite the need for more resilient critical infrastructure systems (CIS), analytical tools remain insufficient to measure CIS disaster resilience. While multiple analysis techniques exist within the literature, they only capture part of what constitutes resilience and remain segregated in application. We argue that CIS resilience is a dynamic, sociotechnical process that requires integration of multiple concepts, frames of reference, and inevitably, analytical techniques. In this work, we present a multi-disciplinary perspective of the disaster resilience of electric power systems and discuss how network theoretic, agent-based, and system dynamic modelling techniques can be used to measure their resilient features and processes. Examples from the South Korean electric grid are provided to demonstrate the necessity to model social and infrastructural elements together. Although this work focuses on power systems, the description of resilience and modelling techniques are a first step towards an analysis framework for the disaster resilience of any CIS.

description: Purpose: We tested the hypothesis that dietary intake of lutein is inversely associated with prevalence of diabetic retinopathy (DR) due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and location within the retina. Methods: We used logistic regression to examine the association between prevalent DR and energy-adjusted lutein intake by quartile (Q) using data collected from 1430 Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study (ARIC) participants with diabetes (n = 994 white, n = 508 black). DR was assessed from 45° non-mydriatic retinal photographs of one randomly chosen eye taken at visit 3 (1993–1995). Dietary lutein intake was estimated using a 66-item food frequency questionnaire at visit 1 (1987–1989). Results: Median estimated daily lutein intake was 1370 µg/1000 kcals and prevalence of DR was ~21%. We found a crude association between lutein and DR (odds ratio, OR, 2.11, 95% confidence interval, CI, 1.45–3.09 for Q4, high intake, vs. Q1, low intake; p for trend <0.0001), which was attenuated after adjustment for ethnicity, duration of diabetes, glycosylated hemoglobin levels, field center and energy intake (OR 1.41, 95% CI 0.87–2.28; p for trend = 0.01). In analyses limited to persons with short diabetes duration (<6 years), the association no longer persisted (OR 0.94, 95% CI 0.31–2.16; p for trend =0.72) compared to the association in those with longer diabetes duration (≥6 years; OR 1.58, 95% CI 0.91–2.75; p for trend = 0.01). Conclusion: Contrary to our hypothesis, we found that the odds of higher lutein intake were greater among those with DR than those without DR. However, after adjusting for confounders, intake of lutein was not associated with DR.

description: The transportation sector remains a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. The understanding of energy-efficient driving behaviors and utilization of energy-efficient driving strategies are essential to reduce vehicles' fuel consumption. However, there is no comprehensive investigation into energy-efficient driving behaviors and strategies. Furthermore, many state-of-the-art AI models have been applied for the analysis of eco-friendly driving styles, but no overview is available. To fill the gap, this paper conducts a thorough literature review on ecological driving behaviors and styles and analyzes the driving factors influencing energy consumption and state-of-the-art methodologies. With a thorough scoping review process, the methodological and related data are compared. The results show that the factors that impact driving behaviors can be summarized into eleven features including speed, acceleration, deceleration, pedal, and so on. This paper finds that supervised/unsupervised learning algorithms and reinforcement learning frameworks have been popularly used to model the vehicle's energy consumption with multi-dimensional data. Furthermore, the literature shows that the driving data are collected from either simulators or real-world experiments, and the real-world data are mainly stored and transmitted by meters, controller area networks, onboard data services, smartphones, and additional sensors installed in the vehicle. Based on driving behavior factors, driver characteristics, and safety rules, this paper recommends nine energy-efficient driving styles including four guidelines for the drivers' selection and adjustment of the vehicle parameters, three recommendations for the energy-efficient driving styles in different driving scenarios, and two subjective suggestions for different types of drivers and employers.

description: The Wisconsin bioenergetics model is widely used to evaluate the effects of environmental conditions, trophic interactions, and human-mediated alterations to physical and trophodynamic processes on the growth and survival of individual fish species. In particular, bioenergetics models are increasingly applied to evaluate conditions that vary on subdaily time steps, such as vertical migrations that influence thermal experience and fluvial alterations that increase diurnal temperature variability. However, because the algorithms that describe the relationship between temperature and physiological rates are often nonlinear, using inputs of daily mean temperatures can result in underestimation or overestimation of growth and energetic demand. We used simulations of daily and subdaily models of Chinook Salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha as an example to demonstrate that the nonlinear, temperature-dependent algorithms for consumption and respiration induce large differences in growth between constant- and fluctuating-temperature conditions (despite the same mean daily temperature); these differences increase with high diurnal variability and as temperatures approach the thermal optimum for the species. To correct for model bias in growth, we propose an integrated temperature-scaling algorithm that allows application of the daily model to systems where daily temperatures exhibit considerable subdaily variation. This approach can also be used for any bioenergetics model that includes nonlinear, temperature-dependent algorithms and should be considered when modeled temperatures approach inflection points in nonlinear relationships.

description: Remnant populations of Cisco Coregonus artedi persist at the southern extent of their range among northern Indiana's glacial lakes, where most of their populations have become extirpated during the past century. Land-use practices have likely accelerated lake eutrophication, while climate change threatens to further degrade the habitat necessary to sustain Ciscoes in Indiana. However, because the effects of these stressors have not been ubiquitous, an understanding of the factors that have contributed to either extirpation or persistence of Cisco populations will better inform future conservation practices. We analyzed lake morphometric and land-use data to identify lakes that (1) are most likely to sustain Ciscoes, (2) are most likely to lose Ciscoes, and (3) have lost Ciscoes but are similar to current Cisco lakes and hence may be targets for restoration. We found that large, deep lakes located further north were more suitable for Ciscoes in the past, but that smaller lakes with a high ratio of lake area to catchment area have retained Cisco populations. This pattern supports the hypothesis that non-point-source nutrient loading is a driver of Cisco extirpations. Our results provide information to better manage a species of special concern in Indiana and of conservation interest in many other areas. Received August 5, 2015; accepted November 20, 2015

description: Video temporal grounding (VTG) aims to locate specific temporal segments from an untrimmed video based on a linguistic query. Most existing VTG models are trained on extensive annotated video-text pairs, a process that not only introduces human biases from the queries but also incurs significant computational costs. To tackle these challenges, we propose VTG-GPT, a GPT-based method for zero-shot VTG without training or fine-tuning. To reduce prejudice in the original query, we employ Baichuan2 to generate debiased queries. To lessen redundant information in videos, we apply MiniGPT-v2 to transform visual content into more precise captions. Finally, we devise the proposal generator and post-processing to produce accurate segments from debiased queries and image captions. Extensive experiments demonstrate that VTG-GPT significantly outperforms SOTA methods in zero-shot settings and surpasses unsupervised approaches. More notably, it achieves competitive performance comparable to supervised methods. The code is available on https://github.com/YoucanBaby/VTG-GPT

description: A common way of assessing language learners' mastery of vocabulary is via multiple-choice cloze (i.e., fill-in-the-blank) questions. But the creation of test items can be laborious for individual teachers or in large-scale language programs. In this paper, we evaluate a new method for automatically generating these types of questions using large language models (LLM). The VocaTT (vocabulary teaching and training) engine is written in Python and comprises three basic steps: pre-processing target word lists, generating sentences and candidate word options using GPT, and finally selecting suitable word options. To test the efficiency of this system, 60 questions were generated targeting academic words. The generated items were reviewed by expert reviewers who judged the well-formedness of the sentences and word options, adding comments to items judged not well-formed. Results showed a 75% rate of well-formedness for sentences and 66.85% rate for suitable word options. This is a marked improvement over the generator used earlier in our research which did not take advantage of GPT's capabilities. Post-hoc qualitative analysis reveals several points for improvement in future work including cross-referencing part-of-speech tagging, better sentence validation, and improving GPT prompts.

description: Constitutive epimutations of tumor suppressor genes are increasingly considered as cancer predisposing factors equally to sequence mutations. In light of the emerging role of the microenvironment for cancer predisposition, initiation, and progression, we aimed to characterize the consequences of a BRCA1 epimutation in cells of mesenchymal origin. We performed a comprehensive molecular and cellular comparison of primary dermal fibroblasts taken from a monozygous twin pair discordant for recurrent cancers and BRCA1 epimutation, whose exceptional clinical case we previously reported in this journal. Comparative transcriptome analysis identified differential expression of extracellular matrix-related genes and pro-tumorigenic growth factors, such as collagens and CXC chemokines. Moreover, genes known to be key markers of so called cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), such as ACTA2, FAP, PDPN, and TNC, were upregulated in fibroblasts of the affected twin (BRCA1mosMe) in comparison to those of the healthy twin (BRCA1wt). Further analyses detected CAF-typical cellular features, including an elevated growth rate, enhanced migration, altered actin architecture and increased production of ketone bodies in BRCA1mosMe fibroblasts compared to BRCA1wt fibroblasts. In addition, conditioned medium of BRCA1mosMe fibroblasts was more potent than conditioned medium of BRCA1wt fibroblasts to promote cell proliferation in an epithelial and a cancer cell line. Our data demonstrate, that a CAF-like state is not an exclusive feature of tumor-associated tissue but also exists in healthy tissue with tumor suppressor deficiency. The naturally occurring phenomenon of twin fibroblasts differing in their BRCA1 methylation status revealed to be a unique powerful tool for exploring tumor suppressor deficiency-related changes in healthy tissue, reinforcing their significance for cancer predisposition.
