Spin generalization of the Calogero-Moser hierarchy and the matrix KP hierarchy

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

We establish a correspondence between rational solutions to the matrix KP hierarchy and the spin generalization of the Calogero-Moser system on the level of hierarchies. Namely, it is shown that the rational solutions to the matrix KP hierarchy appear to be isomorphic to the spin Calogero-Moser system in a sense that the dynamics of poles of solutions to the matrix KP hierarchy in the higher times is governed by the higher Hamiltonians of the spin Calogero-Moser integrable hierarchy with rational potential.
Z-direction motion estimation in 2D&#x002B;depth map based 3D video

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

3-Dimensional (3D) Video Quality Assessment (VQA) has been an important area for today's researchers along with the growing interest in 3D video. Even though, 2-Dimensional (2D) objective VQA metrics that are widely utilized by researchers in literature, the case is not the same for the 3D video. Therefore, subjective tests, which are inefficient in terms of time and cost are used for the 3D VQA. The VQA metrics are divided into three categories according to the use of the reference signal in the assessment as Full-Reference (FR), Reduced-Reference (RR) or No-Reference (NR). The NR metrics are more efficient compared to the other metrics. In this study, an algorithm that estimates the backward-forward z direction motion of the depth maps in 2D+depth map based 3D videos is proposed. The results indicate that the proposed algorithm is efficient to develop a NR VQA metric in future.

Emotional intelligence and mental health: An exploratory study with South African university students

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

We investigated emotional intelligence (EI) influences on mental health indicators among first-year university students. Three hundred first-year students (females = 50%; age range = 16 to 40 years, mean age = 20.10, SD = 2.28) participated in the study. The participants completed surveys on EI dimensions (well-being, self-control, emotionality, and sociability) and mental health indicators (somatic symptoms, anxiety, social dysfunction, and depression). Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) revealed that students with high scores on well-being or emotionality EI dimensions tend to be higher in social functioning; while those with high scores in self-control or high in sociability EI dimensions tend to report fewer somatic and depressive symptoms, respectively. Post-hoc tests following MANOVA indicated that well-being and sociability EI dimensions interacted to reduce depressive symptoms, while well-being, emotionality, and sociability EI dimensions interacted to reduce both anxiety and depression. Well-being, self-control, emotionality, and sociability dimensions of EI appear significant for the mental health of first-year university students.
New results on $γ_{\rm str}$ in 2D quantum gravity using Regge calculus

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

We study 2D quantum gravity on spherical topologies using the Regge calculus approach. Our goal is to shed new light upon the validity of the Regge approach to quantum gravity, which has recently been questioned in the literature. We incorporate an $R^2$ interaction term and investigate its effect on the value of the string susceptibility exponent $γ_{\rm str}$ using two different finite-size scaling Ansätze. Our results suggest severe shortcomings of the methods used so far to determine $\GS$ and show a possible cure of the problems. To have better control over the influence of irregular vertices, we choose besides the almost regular triangulation of the sphere as the surface of a cube a random triangulation according to the Voronoi-Delaunay prescription.

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The experiment on the assessment of development parameters in the case of heavy-breed young poultry was carried out in concordance with the common legislation, with the provision of feeding and maintenance conditions specific to the organic system. The experiment lasted for 84 days (150 chickens); in this period, we used two structures of concentrate mixtures: CM1 (from 1 day to 42 days), with the following characteristics 3003 kcal EM, 19.91% CP, 1% lysine, 0.57% methionine + cystine, 1.08% Ca and 0.62% P and CM2 (from 43 to 84 days) with 2981 kcal EM, 16.03% CP, 0.73% lysine, 0.47% methionine+cystine, 1.06% Ca and 0.58% P. During the experiment, we recorded the growth performances (body weight, growth, daily gain) and the CI. The body weight recorded at 84 days was 1623.10±37.0 g, with a daily mean growth of 19.32 g and a specific intake of: 3.68 kg AC, 11261.28 kcal EM, 635.35 g CP, 31.03 g lysine and 19.02 g methionine+cystine/kg growth. We determined a mathematical model for body mass prediction depending on energy and protein ingestion, generating an equation of this type: y=a+b*ln(x1)+c*ln(x1)2+d*x2+e*x2 2, with a multiple determination coefficient R2=0.99 and an error percentage at the end of the growth period of 0.02%, beetwen predicted and experimental values.
Effect of prolonged oil massage on growth velocity in LBW infants: Comparison of Coconut oil vs Sunflower seed oil vs No oil: Randomized controlled trial

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

INTRODUCTION :
Massaging infants is an ancient art and traditional practice in several parts of India. Various types of oils have been used depending on regional variability. Evidence exists supporting the benefits of touch and massage therapy. Massage has several positive effects in terms of weight gain, better sleep weight pattern and enhanced
neuromotor development. Most consistent benefit associated
with massage therapy is weight gain. Studies have shown improved skin barrier function, reduced rates of nosocomial infection, duration of hospital stay and mortality in hospitalized babies.There are no studies on extended home based massage therapy in babies. We wanted to study the effects of massage therapy which was extended for a duration of 3 months on anthropometric parameters, readmissions and mortality. There is evidence supporting positive effects of massage therapy by mothers on babies. In our study mothers
were trained to give massage therapy in hospital. This was continued as a home based therapy following discharge for a duration of 3 months.
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES :
RESEARCH QUESTION: Does massage for 3 months with coconut oil in neonates weighing 750-2000 gms cause more weight gain compared to sunflower oil and no oil?
OUTCOME VARIABLE:
PRIMARY OUTCOME - To study the effect of massage with
coconut oil vs sunflower oil vs control with no oil on weight gain in SGA and AGA neonates weighing 750 gms-2000 gms.
SECONDARY OUTCOME - length gain, head circumference
gain, incidence of sepsis after enrolment, duration of hospital stay and readmissions
JUSTIFICATION :
Several studies have proved the effect of massage therapy on weight gain. But still the research gap exists on which oil to recommend or whether massage therapy alone without oil can effect any change. This study is an attempt at bridging this gap.
CONCLUSION : There was no significant difference in weight gain between Massage therapy using oil and Massage therapy using no oil. Tactile kinaesthetic stimulation seems to play the key role in weight gain in LBW babies than the oil used. Between sunflower seed oil and coconut oil there was no significant difference in weight gain between the groups. Tactile kinaesthetic stimulation in Massage therapy has the potential of causing weight gain in LBW babies. Extended Massage therapy is a home based cost effective strategy which can help in survival of LBW babies.

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

(1) Background: The CEECCA questionnaire assesses the ability to communicate among individuals with aphasia. It was designed using the NANDA-I and NOC standardised nursing languages (SNLs), reaching high content validity index and representativeness index values. The questionnaire was pilot-tested, demonstrating its feasibility for use by nurses in any healthcare setting. This study aims to identify the psychometric properties of this instrument. (2) Methods: 47 individuals with aphasia recruited from primary and specialist care facilities. The instrument was tested for construct validity and criterion validity, reliability, internal consistency, and responsiveness. The NANDA-I and NOC SNLs and the Boston test were used for criterion validity testing. (3) Results: 5 language dimensions explain 78.6% of the total variance. Convergent criterion validity tests showed concordances of up to 94% (Cohen&rsquo;s &kappa;: 0.9; p&amp;lt;0.001) using the Boston test, concordances of up to 81% using DCs of NANDA-I diagnoses (Cohen&rsquo;s &kappa;: 0.6; p&amp;lt;0.001), and concordances of up to 96% (Cohen&rsquo;s &kappa;: 0.9; p&amp;lt;0.001) using NOC indicators. Internal consistency (Cronbach&rsquo;s alpha) was 0.98. Reliability tests revealed test-retest concordances of 76%-100% (p&amp;lt;0,001). (4) Conclusions: The CEECCA is an easy-to-use, valid, reliable instrument to assess the ability to communicate among individuals with aphasia.

Data from Synergistic Effects of PARP Inhibition and Cholesterol Biosynthesis Pathway Modulation

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

<div>Abstract<p>An in-depth multiomic molecular characterization of PARP inhibitors revealed a distinct poly-pharmacology of niraparib (Zejula) mediated by its interaction with lanosterol synthase (LSS), which is not observed with other PARP inhibitors. Niraparib, in a similar way to the LSS inhibitor Ro-48-8071, induced activation of the 24,25-epoxysterol shunt pathway, which is a regulatory signaling branch of the cholesterol biosynthesis pathway. Interestingly, the combination of an LSS inhibitor with a PARP inhibitor that does not bind to LSS, such as olaparib, had an additive effect on killing cancer cells to levels comparable with niraparib as a single agent. In addition, the combination of PARP inhibitors and statins, inhibitors of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase, an enzyme catalyzing the rate-limiting step in the mevalonate pathway, had a synergistic effect on tumor cell killing in cell lines and patient-derived ovarian tumor organoids. These observations suggest that concomitant inhibition of the cholesterol biosynthesis pathway and PARP activity might result in stronger efficacy of these inhibitors against tumor types highly dependent on cholesterol metabolism.</p>Significance:<p>The presented data indicate, to our knowledge, for the first time, the potential benefit of concomitant modulation of cholesterol biosynthesis pathway and PARP inhibition and highlight the need for further investigation to assess its translational relevance.</p></div>
Safe and Stable Control Synthesis for Uncertain System Models via Distributionally Robust Optimization

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

This paper considers enforcing safety and stability of dynamical systems in the presence of model uncertainty. Safety and stability constraints may be specified using a control barrier function (CBF) and a control Lyapunov function (CLF), respectively. To take model uncertainty into account, robust and chance formulations of the constraints are commonly considered. However, this requires known error bounds or a known distribution for the model uncertainty, and the resulting formulations may suffer from over-conservatism or over-confidence. In this paper, we assume that only a finite set of model parametric uncertainty samples is available and formulate a distributionally robust chance-constrained program (DRCCP) for control synthesis with CBF safety and CLF stability guarantees. To facilitate efficient computation of control inputs during online execution, we present a reformulation of the DRCCP as a second-order cone program (SOCP). Our formulation is evaluated in an adaptive cruise control example in comparison to 1) a baseline CLF-CBF quadratic programming approach, 2) a robust approach that assumes known error bounds of the system uncertainty, and 3) a chance-constrained approach that assumes a known Gaussian Process distribution of the uncertainty.
DRCD: A Regional-Contention-Driven Arbitration Policy for CPU-GPU Heterogeneous Systems

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Abstract

In CPU-GPU heterogeneous systems, there exists intense resource contention between CPUs and GPUs. Traditional resource arbitration policies fail to account for the heterogeneity of cores, leading to inefficient network resource utilization for the CPU, which negatively impacts its performance. In heterogeneous networks, the degree of resource contention varies across different regions. This paper first uses reinforcement learning to analyze the message feature weights relied upon for resource arbitration in different network regions. To achieve more efficient resource allocation, a regional-contention-driven arbitration policy is proposed. Simulation results show that, compared to traditional arbitration policy, the overall network latency is reduced by 7.99%, and CPU performance is improved by 11.42%. Furthermore, a dynamic regional-contention-driven arbitration policy is proposed, which further reduces the overall network latency by 10.47% and increases CPU performance by 16.79% compared to traditional arbitration policy.
Firth global symposium on research of healthcare système, Liverpool (United Kingdom), October 8-12, 2018.

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

The most recent international symposium on research on healthcare systems took place in Liverpool in October, 2018. Its theme was the promotion of healthcare systems for all in the era of the Sustainable Development Goals. This biennial event is the occasion to bring together all the players in this domain- researchers, policy-makers, and field workers - to share the newest work. Numerous subjects were raised, some of them mentioned in the article: quality of care in healthcare systems through the necessary improvement in the practices of professionals, the issues of scaling up health interventions, mobilization of knowledge for the development of public policy, and the role of the private sector. Although this field has developed greatly over the past 20 years and has become central in both development aide and international health, it remains relatively little known in the French-speaking world and France is largely absent from it.
Clinical-anthropometric characteristics of COPD outpatients belonging to the different groups and having different severity of airway obstruction.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The aim of the study was to compare the clinical and anthropometric characteristics of patients with COPD, which differ in the degree of airways obstruction and belong to groups A, B, C, D in accordance with GOLD, 2011 classification. A total of 112 ambulatory COPD patients in remission made the study sample. Anthropometric data, body mass index, medical history, dyspnea by mMRC scale, and spirometry was performed for all patients. There was confirmed that outpatients with COPD is a heterogeneous group, in which the majority are those with moderate (48.22 %) and severe (30.36 %), airway obstruction. Despite the vast majority of men among outpatients, the percentage of women among patients with mild to moderate obstruction (22.58±5.31 %) was significantly higher (p=0.002) as compared with those with severe or very severe limitation of airflow (6.00±3.36 %). Patients with severe and very severe obstruction were of significantly older age (p = 0.024). At the same time, the distribution of patients according to the GOLD, 2011 classification, demonstrate that all groups did not differ on any of the anthropometric indicators, including gender and age (p > 0.050). Distribution of patients by groups with different risk for future exacerbations is not a mirror image of gradation in accordance with the degree of airway obstruction. Every second (50.00±4.43 % of cases) patient is included in group C and every tenth (10.20±4.32 %) belongs to the group D not due to degree of bronchial obstruction, but due to the number of exa­cerbations in the past year. Therefore, in future studies it is advisable to use both principles of patients’ classification.
How Different Personalities Benefit From Gamification

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Abstract Several studies indicate the benefit of mapping gamification elements to personality. However, this mapping requires a strong understanding of the relationship between gamification elements and personality. The existing research that has tried to address this relationship is based on a self-report questionnaire that is obtained from only those learners who complete the entire study. Unfortunately, a bias may result from first forcing learners to complete an entire study and then ignoring learners who drop out in the middle of a study. To overcome this bias, we use a more objective approach to understand the relationship between personality and gamification. In our study, we use the dropout rate as a proxy for learner motivation. We hypothesize that learners who are more motivated by gamification elements will use the gamified website longer. Furthermore, because we use a different method than previous studies used, we analyse our data differently. Our solution is to use survival analysis to analyse our data, which confirms the benefit of using gamification to enhance learner motivation. Our results point to the relationship between the response of different personalities and gamification elements. In further studies, we recommend to use this same approach but with more gamification elements. RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS Gamification plays an important role in enhancing learners’ motivation and engagement. Different personalities respond differently to gamification elements. The dropout rate can be used to measure learners’ motivation. Enhancing the motivation of learners does not necessarily improve their learning.
Length-preserving biconnection gravity and its cosmological implications

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

Abstract We consider a length preserving biconnection gravitational theory, inspired by information geometry, which extends general relativity, by using the mutual curvature as the fundamental object describing gravity. The two connections used to build up the theory are the Schrödinger connection, and its dual. In our geometric approach it can be seen that the dual of a non-metric Schrödinger connection possesses torsion, even if the Schrödinger connection itself does not, and consequently the pair ( M , g ,∇ * ) is a quasi-statistical manifold. The field equations are postulated to have the form of the standard Einstein equations, but with the Ricci tensor- and scalar replaced with the mutual curvature tensor, and the mutual curvature scalar, resulting in additional torsion-dependent terms. The covariant divergence of the matter energy-momentum does not vanish in this theory. We derive the equation of motion for massive particles, which shows the presence of an extra force, depending on the torsion vector. The Newtonian limit of the equations of motion is also considered. We explore the cosmological implications by deriving the generalized Friedmann equations for the Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW geometry). They contain additional terms that can be interpreted as describing an effective, geometric type dark energy. We examine two cosmological models: one with conserved matter, and one where dark energy and pressure are related by a linear equation of state. The predictions of both models are compared with a set of observational values of the Hubble function, and with the standard ΛCDM model. Length-preserving biconnection gravity models fit well the observational data, and also align with ΛCDM at low redshifts ( z < 3). The obtained results suggest that a modified biconnection geometry could explain the late-time acceleration through an effective geometric dark energy, as well as the formation of the supermassive black holes, as they predict a different age of our Universe as compared to standard cosmology.
