Linear instability criteria for ideal fluid flows subject to two subclasses of perturbations

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

In this paper we examine the linear stability of equilibrium solutions to incompressible Euler's equation in 2- and 3-dimensions. The space of perturbations is split into two classes - those that preserve the topology of vortex lines and those in the corresponding factor space. This classification of perturbations arises naturally from the geometric structure of hydrodynamics; our first class of perturbations is the tangent space to the co-adjoint orbit. Instability criteria for equilibrium solutions are established in the form of lower bounds for the essential spectral radius of the linear evolution operator restricted to each class of perturbation.
Patience Cube Testbed Environments in Virtual and Real Environments and Subject’s Behavioral Strategy Analysis across Both Environments

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Learning from demonstration(LfD)은 피실험자의 시연 동작 데이터를 기반으로 머신러닝 에이전트를 구현하는 방법론 중 하나이다. 동일한 시작 조건 아래에서 다양한 피실험자로부터 또는 반복적인 시행으로부터 시연 데이터를 획득할 필요가 있을 때는, 가상 환경에서 시연 데이터를 획득하는 것이 더 효율적이다. 이때 가상 환경에서의 피실험자의 시연을 주어진 상황(state)에 따른 행동(action) 전략으로 간주하려면, 가상 환경에서 획득한 데이터가 실제 환경에서 측정한 데이터와 차이가 없음이 전제되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 가상 환경과 실제 환경에서 주어진 시각운동(visuomotor) 태스크에 대해 사람이 같은 행동 전략을 생성한다는 것을 통계적으로 검증한다. 먼저 21명의 피실험자로부터, 가상 환경과 실제 환경에서 patience cube를 수행할 때, 근전도 데이터와 기구학적 데이터를 획득하였다. 다음으로 가상/실제(virtual/real) 환경을 요인(factor)으로 하여 획득된 데이터에 대한 paired t-test 검증을 수행하였다. 이를 통해, 사람이 patience cube를 수행할 때 있어, 두 환경에서 피실험자의 행동 전략과 관계된 물리량들에 통계적으로 유의미한 차이가 없음이 검증되었다. 결과적으로, 가상환경에서 획득된 피실험자의 patience cube 수행 데이터를 현실 세계의 로봇 시스템의 LfD를 위한 학습에 적용할 수 있는 타당성을 확인하였다.

Coexistent Ipsilateral Internal Carotid Artery Occlusion and Cerebral Venous Thrombosis in Hepatitis C

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

A 58-year-old male, known to have hepatitis C virus (HCV), presented with intermittent headaches and left-sided sensorimotor symptoms. There were no focal neurological deficits on examination. Electrocardiogram was unremarkable. Computed tomography angiography head and neck displayed extracranial right internal carotid artery occlusion. Magnetic resonance imaging showed right cortical vein thrombosis, with hemorrhagic infarction. Echocardiography with bubble study was unremarkable. Hypercoagulable workup was significant for protein S deficiency. He was treated with warfarin for 6 months. Repeat protein S levels remained low 9 months later. The coexistence of arterial and venous thrombotic events gives rise to a limited differential. In this case, it may be related to chronic HCV infection. The underlying pathogenesis is not clear; however, it is possible the patient had chronic high-grade internal carotid artery stenosis, which occluded leading to his presenting symptoms. The cortical vein thrombosis is likely an incidental finding here. The extent by which HCV contributed to the cerebral thrombosis and carotid artery occlusion in our case is not clear; however, the hypercoagulable and atherosclerotic properties of the virus cannot be disregarded. The virus can promote carotid atherosclerosis and cerebral venous thrombosis as well as other venous and arterial thromboembolic events. Furthermore, HCV is associated with impaired venous flow and procoagulant properties, which can fuel a hypercoagulable state. Also of note cirrhosis is associated with protein S deficiency. We recommend considering an underlying hypercoagulable state including both arterial and venous thrombosis in HCV infection.
DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS AND THEIR EFFECTS ON HEALTH

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Dietary supplement is defined as “a product that is used by man tosupplement the diet and contains dietary ingredients such as vitamins,minerals, amino acids, herbs or other botanical dietary substances”. Using ofdietary supplement is widespread because of successful marketing strategies,advertising and internet information sources. The main steps of supplementproduction are formulation, blending, milling, granulation, drying, finalblending, tableting, tablet press tooling, coating, and encapsulation. Fruitsand vegetables, plants, microorganisms and animal origin as raw material areused in production of dietary supplements. Since, beneficial properties offoods on human health are known; consumption of food supplements is increasedin recent years. The most common problems observed indietary supplements are the risk of contamination, additives, toxicity, andstandardization of dose and accuracy of labeling. Direct intoxications relatedwith these products as well as adverse effects due to drug interactions areobserved recently in Turkey and World. It is known that dietary supplementsshould not be considered as medicine, but when are consumed correctly,positively affect the health of humans.
“My Back Went Out Again!”: You Are Seeing Them at 1:00

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Up to 75% of patients with low back pain (LBP) will have recurrences (flares), so recurrence of LBP is not a reason to suspect serious pathology. A systematic approach to the evaluation of recurrent LBP, management of associated risk factors and comorbidities, and education to teach self-management can help patients function better and reduce associated health care costs. Unnecessary medical investigations can lead to expensive but ineffective and potentially harmful health care and paradoxically increase the risk of long-term, back-related disability. Many of the risk factors for transition to chronic LBP can be reduced with lifestyle modifications and attention to mental health (as depression is seen in 30–50% of patients with persistent pain). Psychosocial distress and fear are significant contributors to LBP and disability. Teaching techniques to self-manage recurrent LBP and facilitating their is an effective way to reduce overutilization of health care and decrease back-related disability and pain.
Improvements of the Crystal Routine for Collimation Studies

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

A routine has been implemented to simulate interactions of protons with bent crystals in the collimation version of \texttt{SixTrack}. This routine is optimized in view of producing high-statistics tracking simulations of collimation cleaning assisted by bent crystals. Fine tuning and comparisons with experimental data of coherent effects which a particle can experience in a bent crystal have been carried out. The data taken with 400 GeV beams at the CERN-SPS North Area in the framework of the UA9 experiment are used to benchmark the routine. Further checks on low probability interactions have been made, leading to significant improvements in the description of interactions with crystals. Comparisons with other simulations tools are used to increase our confidence in the scaling to higher energies.
THE CONCEPT OF PERFORMING THE ADDITION OPERATION IN THE SYSTEM OF RESIDUAL CLASSES

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

The subject of the article is the development of a method for implementing the arithmetic operation of adding the residuals of numbers, which are represented in the system of residual classes (RNS). This method is based on the use of positional binary adders. The purpose of the article is to improve the performance of computer systems (CS) and their components by introducing new ways of organizing calculations based on the use of RNS. Tasks: to analyze and identify the shortcomings of the existing number systems that are used in the construction of computer systems and components; explore possible ways to eliminate the identified deficiencies; explore the structure of binary positional adders, taking into account the scheme for adding two residues of numbers modulo RNS; to develop a method for constructing adders modulo RNS, which is based on the use of a set of binary single-digit positional adders. Research methods: methods of analysis and synthesis of computer systems, number theory, coding theory in RNS. The following results are obtained. The paper shows that one of the promising ways to improve the performance of the CS is the use of RNS. The mathematical basis of RNS is the Chinese remainder theorem, which states that an integer operation on one large modulus can be replaced by a set of operations on coprime small modules. This opens up broad prospects for optimizing calculations. On the one hand, it is possible to significantly simplify the performance of complex and cumbersome calculations, including on low-resource computing platforms. On the other hand, calculations for different modules can be performed in parallel, which increases the performance of the CS. Conclusions. The article considers the operation of adding two numbers. This operation is the basis for both traditional positional number systems and RNS, i.e. forms the computational basis of all existing CS components. A new method for calculating the sum of the residuals of numbers modulo an arbitrary is proposed, and examples are given that clearly demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. This method can be used in various computer applications, including for improving computing performance, ensuring fault tolerance, etc.
Highly Sensitive Temperature and Salinity Fiber Sensor based on Vernier Effect by Tapered-PMF in Sagnac-Interferometer

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

A kind of highly sensitive salinity solution and temperature sensing system based upon Vernier effect in a single tapered-Sagnac interferometer structure is demonstrated. The sensing structure is produced by tapering polarization-maintaining fiber (PMF) in Sagnac loop. It is obviously observed that the envelope and wavelength shift is influenced by the external temperature and salinity concentration in the output spectrum of the sensing system. Thanks to the Vernier effect the sensitivity is elevated by an amplification factor. Changes in temperature and salinity will lead to a corresponding linear shift in the output spectral envelope. The experimental results state clearly that the sensitivity of the sensing system for temperature and salinity detection is -3.992nm/℃ and 0.2687nm/‰, respectively. All in all, the proposed sensor has the characteristics of being easy to fabricate, low cost, and high sensitivity.
Beam Training and Alignment for RIS-Assisted Millimeter Wave Systems:State of the Art and Beyond

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) has recently emerged as a promising paradigm for future cellular networks. Specifically, due to its capability in reshaping the propagation environment, RIS was introduced to address the blockage issue in millimeter Wave (mmWave) or even Terahertz (THz) communications. The deployment of RIS, however, complicates the system architecture and poses a significant challenge for beam training (BT)/ beam alignment (BA), a process that is required to establish a reliable link between the transmitter and the receiver. In this article, we first review several state-of-the-art beam training solutions for RIS-assisted mmWave systems and discuss their respective advantages and limitations. We also present a new multi-directional BT method, which can achieve a decent BA performance with only a small amount of training overhead. Finally, we outline several important open issues in BT for RIS-assisted mmWave systems.
Mucosal gene transcription of ulcerative colitis in endoscopic remission

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Aim/Objective: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease. In UC, a wide range of criteria are used for disease remission, with few studies investigating the differences between disease remission and normal control groups. This paper compares known inflammatory and healing mediators in the mucosa of UC in clinical remission and normal controls, in order to better describe the remission state. Method: Mucosal biopsies from 72 study participants (48 UC and 24 normal controls) were included from the Advanced Study of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (ASIB Study), Arctic University of Norway, Norway. Clinical remission was defined as Mayo clinical score ≤ 2, with endoscopic subscores of ≤ 1. Targeted gene transcription analyses were performed using hydrolysis probes and SYBR-green. Results: Among the mucosal transcripts examined, 10 genes were regulated in remission versus normal controls, 8 upregulated pro-inflammatory transcripts (IL1B, IL33, TNF, TRAF1, CLDN2, STAT1, STAT3 and IL13Ra2) and 2 downregulated (pro-inflammatory TBX21 and anti-inflammatory TGFB1). In total, 14 transcripts were regulated between the investigated groups. Several master transcription factors for T-cell development were upregulated in patients with Mayo endoscopic score of 1 in comparison to 0. Conclusions: The mucosa of UC in clinical and endoscopic remission differs from normal mucosa, suggesting a remaining dysregulation of inflammatory and wound healing mechanisms.
Identification of TL+ thymocytes with different Lyt phenotypes

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

Abstract The surface antigenic phenotype of BALB/c thymocytes has been analyzed by sequential cytotoxic treatment with Lyt‐1.2, Lyt‐2.2 and TL.2 antisera plus complement. Two new minor subpopulations with TL + Lyt‐l + 2 − and TL + Lyt‐l − 2 + phenotypes have been identified providing direct evidence for the heterogeneity of the Lyt phenotype among the TL‐positive supopulation of thymocytes. This finding suggests that differentiation pathways of Lyt subsets of T cells are more complex than originally proposed and that commitment to separate lines of differentiation may occur already at the level of immature, cortical thymocytes.
A novel taxonomy of natural disasters based on casualty and consequence using hierarchical clustering

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Post-disaster management requires a proportional deployment of human and material resources. The number of resources required to manage a disaster cannot be known without first evaluating the extent of casualty and consequence. This study proposed a taxonomy for classifying natural disasters based on casualty and consequence. Using a secondary data on global disasters from 1900 to 2021, the hierarchical cluster analysis technique was deployed for taxonomy formation. The learning algorithm evaluated the similarities in numbers of deaths, injuries, and the cost of damaged property caused by disasters. Three clusters were extracted which sub-grouped historical disasters based on similarities in casualty and consequence. Further, a taxonomy that defines the ranges of what constitute low, average, and high deaths/injuries/damage was established. Classifying a future disaster with this taxonomy prior to the deployment of resources for rescue, resettlement, compensation, and other disaster management operations will guide efficient resource allocation on a case-by-case basis.
The Influence of Volts/Hertz Control on Filter Impedance Effects in VSI-Fed Induction Machines

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

The use of a transient volts/hertz controller can produce great improvement in the dynamic behavior of a voltage source inverter (VSI)-fed induction machine with a dc link filter. The effects of transient volts/hertz control are investigated and methods for selecting the proper controller gain GW for a wide range of systems are given. The information is presented in terms of 1) the upper and lower critical gains (GW
CU
and GW
CL
) needed to ensure stability, 2) a form of optimum gain (GW
B
) which gives the best dynamic performance for a specific machine and operating point, and 3) an acceptable gain (GW
A
) which gives acceptable dynamic performance over a range of operating conditions. Utilizing nondimensional parameters, eigen-values, and root locus plots, the values of the gains of the volts/hertz control are studied for a wide range of parameters. Graphs of the critical gains and methods of choosing GW
B
and GW
A
are presented. The results indicate that volts/hertz control can always be used to improve system dynamics, and with properly chosen controller gain the dynamic performance of the inverter-filter-motor system is typically better than the motor alone for a wide range of motor sizes and operating conditions.
Affinity labeling of gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase and location of the gamma-glutamyl binding site on the light subunit.

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

Gamma-Glutamyl transpeptidase, which consists of two nonidentical subunits, is rapidly inactivated with respect to its transpeptidase and hydrolase activities by the gamma-glutamyl analogs 6-diazo-5-oxo-L-norleucine and L-azaserine. Inactivation, which is prevented by gamma-glutamyl substrates (but not by acceptor substrates), is accelerated by maleate, which was previously shown to enhance utilization of glutamine by transpeptidase. 6-Diazo-5-oxo--norleucine reacts specifically, covalently, and stoichiometrically at the gamma-glutamyl site of the enzyme, which was localized through studies with 6-diazo-5-OXO-[14C]norleucine to the light subunits of both the transpeptidase of rat kidney (which has subunits of molecular weights 22,000 and 46,000) and the transpeptidase of human kidney (which has subunits of molecular weights 22,000 and 62,000). The findings, which indicate that these enzymes have similar gamma-glutamyl binding subunits, are relevant to the structure-function relationships of this membrane-bound enzyme and its physiological role.
Carbonate Deposition and Sequence Stratigraphy of the Terminal Cambrian Grand Cycle in the Southern Appalachians, U.S.A.

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

The cessation of shale and carbonate deposition of the Conasauga Group grand cycles (Middle to Upper Cambrian) and the establishment of the widespread peritidal carbonate deposition of the Knox Group (Upper Cambrian to Lower Ordovician) represent a prominent change in sedimentation along the early Paleozoic passive continental margin in the southern Appalachians.To evaluate the causes for this change, this study focuses on the Maynardville Formation, which is the uppermost carbonate unit of the Conasauga Group.The Maynardville consists of: (1) a lower subtidal facies succession, which is underlain by the Nolichucky Shale and resembles the rest of the Conasauga Group carbonate deposits; and (2) an upper peritidal facies succession, which is conformably overlain by similar peritidal deposits of the Copper Ridge Dolomite (Knox Group).Deposition of shale and subtidal carbonate took place in deep-ramp (Nolichucky) to shallowramp, subtidal-shoal, and lagoonal settings (lower Maynardville).The carbonate ramp was westward sloping toward the Conasauga intrashelf shale basin.To the east, the ramp was linked to a broad, semiarid carbonate tidal flat encompassing a variety of peritidal environments (upper Maynardville and Copper Ridge).The Maynardville is a shallowing-upward succession that formed by carbonate platform aggradation and basinward progradation.The transition between the Maynardville and the Copper Ridge Dolomite is within a conformable peritidal carbonate succession that contains common siliciclastic sand-size detritus.This interval is interpreted as a sequence boundary correlative with the craton-wide late Steptoean (Dresbachian-Franconian or Sauk II-Sauk III) unconformity.The change from a Conasauga to a Knox depositional style may be related to distinct stages in passive-margin evolution.The end of grand-cycle deposition in the early Late Cambrian is coincident with the cessation of tectonic activity along extensional features (an intracratonic graben and other fault systems), and marks the transition into a mature-passive-margin setting.The mature margin was characterized by decreased rates of thermal subsidence, which, coupled with the infilling of the Conasauga intrashelf basin, favored shallow-water carbonate deposition.The final stabilization of the margin is reflected in the deposition of the thick peritidal carbonate strata of the Knox Group.
