Unified Fourier-based Kernel and Nonlinearity Design for Equivariant Networks on Homogeneous Spaces

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

We introduce a unified framework for group equivariant networks on homogeneous spaces derived from a Fourier perspective. We consider tensor-valued feature fields, before and after a convolutional layer. We present a unified derivation of kernels via the Fourier domain by leveraging the sparsity of Fourier coefficients of the lifted feature fields. The sparsity emerges when the stabilizer subgroup of the homogeneous space is a compact Lie group. We further introduce a nonlinear activation, via an elementwise nonlinearity on the regular representation after lifting and projecting back to the field through an equivariant convolution. We show that other methods treating features as the Fourier coefficients in the stabilizer subgroup are special cases of our activation. Experiments on $SO(3)$ and $SE(3)$ show state-of-the-art performance in spherical vector field regression, point cloud classification, and molecular completion.
A study of sedimentation rate of the erythrocytes

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

1. An abnormal rate of sedimentation of the erythrocytes \nis a non-specific phenomenon, occurring \nduring the later months of pregnancy and in the \npuerperium, in cases of malignancy, in all acute \ninflammatory and infective processes, in active \nrheumatism, in chronic infections, including \nsyphilis and tuberculosis, and after surgical \noperations. \n \n2. Slight alterations in the S.R. have no definitely \npathological significance. \n \n3. Estimation of the S.R. is of definite value in \nclinical medicine, the rate being a delicate \nindex of the activity of the disease in rheumatism \nand in tuberculosis. In practically all the \nother conditions associated with an increased \nS.R., however, the sedimentation test supplies \nno more valuable information than can be obtained \nfrom a careful and systematic clinical \nexamination. \n \n4. In rheumatism, the sedimentation test is a valuable \nguide in treatment and in following the \ncourse of the disease, giving more reliable \ninformation as to the activity of the disease \nprocess than the temperature, pulse -rate or \nsubjective symptoms of the patient. (The same \nstatements hold good in respect of the value of \nthe test in pulmonary tuberculosis.) \n \n5. The sedimentation test, which is already in use in \nthe routine examination of cases of pulmonary \ntuberculosis, ought to be employed similarly in \ncases of rheumatism. \n \n6. The sedimentation test is further of value in indicating \nthe presence of an infective process in \nsurgical cases where the diagnosis is in doubt. \nThis is especially to be remembered in dealing \nwith female patients who may have an unsuspected \nfocus of infection in the pelvis, and the test \nmight with advantage be employed before operation \nin gynaecological cases. \n \n7. In obstetrics, the sedimentation test has little or \nno practical value. \n \n8. In view of the non-specific nature of the phenomenon \nof sedimentation and of the unexpected findings \nsometimes met with in performing the test, \nthe results must always be interpreted and used \nin conjunction with a careful clinical examination \nin every case.
Burkholderia Pseudomallei: An Emerging Bacterial Pathogen and Potential Bioweapon

Field: Immunology and Microbiology (Life Sciences)

Burkholderia pseduomallei is a bacteria that lives in the soil and water in tropical areas. It is the causative agent of the disease melioidosis which affects both humans and animals. Melioidosis is a fatal pneumonia that is endemic in Southeast Asia and northern Australia and is now on the rise in many other parts of the world. This disease was unknown to North American doctors until a number of cases appeared in people that had traveled to these areas, in particular, soldiers who fought in the Vietname War. The primary goal of researchers is to understand how this organism causes disease in order to develop an effective vaccine for prevention. There has been an increase in interest in studying B. psedumollei since September 11, 2001 because it is listed as a Category B biological warfare agent. I will give a general talk about the disease, its use as a biological warfare agent, how to study Level 3 biocontainment organisms like this, and some research into understanding the pathogensis of the disease and developing a vaccine.
Exploring Green Solvents Associated to Pd/C as Heterogeneous Catalyst for Direct Arylation of Heteroaromatics with Aryl Bromides

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

Abstract Metal residues are certainly one of the major sources of contamination of products in metal‐catalyzed direct arylation reactions. We found that the use of only 1 mol% of the heterogeneous catalyst Pd/C promotes very efficiently the direct arylations of most heteroaromatics. In the presence of this catalyst and potassium acetate as the base, the direct arylation of thiophenes, furans, pyrroles, thiazoles, imidazoles or isoxazoles, using aryl bromides as coupling partners, proceeds highly regioselectively and in moderate to very high yields. With several heteroarenes both electron‐deficient and electron‐rich aryl bromides were tolerated; moreover, with the most reactive heteroarenes, the Pd/C catalyst tolerated green solvents such as diethyl carbonate, 3‐methylbutan‐1‐ol and pentan‐1‐ol, affording a synthetic scheme with low environmental impact. magnified image
PERUVIAN AGRO-EXPORT SECTOR: A COMPETITIVENESS STUDY ON THEIR MAIN PRODUCTS IN THE PERIOD 2010-2019

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Peruvian agricultural export products have gained importance in world markets in recent years. Therefore, the main objective of the study was to compare the level of competitiveness of the five main Peruvian products against similar products from other Latin American countries in a pre-pandemic and energy crisis development period (2010-2019). For this, two categories were analyzed: the level of specialization and the level of competitiveness with the competitiveness matrix modified by Lacayo and Morales in 2007. The study found a high level of specialization in all the Peruvian products analyzed, especially for the Blueberry category; likewise, the Grape, the Blueberry and the Avocado presented high levels of competitiveness; while Coffee and Asparagus were the least competitive due to their low performance in the analysis of the level of specialization.
Optimal Utility Lifetime and Delay-Robustness Tradeoff in Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

A unified framework to achieve optimal network \nlifetime, utility and delay-robustness tradeoff, for wireless multimedia \nsensor networks, is proposed. Using delay-robustness \ngives the flexibility to achieve any desired level of delay QoS \nprovisioning. We have employed sensitivity analysis to define \nan appropriate objective function for delay-robustness. This is \nachieved by capturing delay-robustness in the end-to-end delay \nconstraints and penalizing its price in the objective function. For \ndistributed realization of the proposed framework, the optimal \ntradeoff problem is decomposed into lifetime, utility and delayrobustness \nsubproblems. Performance evaluation results show \nthat compromising network utility can not provide both lifetime \nand delay-robustness, simultaneously, for all operating points.
Epicardial fat thickness in infants of diabetic mothers

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

BACKGROUND: Epicardial fat thickness (EFT) in adults and children has been related to the metabolic syndrome and other cardiovascular risk factors; however, scarce studies have evaluated it in infants of diabetic mothers (IDM) in whom, alterations in the thickness of the interventricular septum have been reported. This study compares the EFT in IDM versus infants of non-diabetic mothers (INDM) and its association with others echocardiographic parameters. METHODS: We performed a cross sectional study in 93 infants (64 IDM and 29 INDM). To evaluate EFT dimensions, an echocardiogram was performed within the first 24h of extrauterine life in both groups. In diabetic mothers, HbA1c was also determined. RESULTS: There was no significant difference in birth weight between the groups although gestational age was lower in IDM. The EFT (3.6 vs. 2.5 mm, p < 0.0001), the interventricular septum thickness (IVST) (6.2 vs. 5.2 mm, p < 0.0001) and the IVST / left ventricle posterior wall (1.3 vs. 1.1, p = 0.001) were higher in the IDM; while the left ventricular expulsion fraction [LVFE] (71.1 vs. 77.8; p < 0.0001) was lower than in the INDM, respectively. We found a positive correlation between EFT with IVST ( r = 0.577; p = 0.0001), LVPW ( r = 0.262; p = 0.011), IVST/LVPW index ( r = 0.353; p = 0.001), and mitral integral early velocity ( r = 0.313; p = 0.002), while a negative correlation with LVFE was observed ( r = –0.376; p = 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS: The EFT is higher in IDM than in INDM. It was positively related with echocardiographic parameters of left ventricular thickness and negatively with left ventricular ejection function.

Decolonizing the City: Unmasking Violence and Exclusion in Katherine Mansfield's Short Stories

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Abstract Katherine Mansfield, a prominent modernist writer from New Zealand, is widely regarded as one of the pioneers of the short story genre. Her stories often explore themes of identity, alienation, and belonging in the context of colonialism and its aftermath. Katherine Mansfield's modernist short stories also weave a tapestry of urban alienation, where characters grapple with the dissonance between individual identity and the anonymity of the modern city. This research paper explores into the underbelly of Katherine Mansfield's urban landscapes, exposing the insidious webs of violence and exclusion woven into the fabric of colonial modernity. Moving beyond the idyllic portrayals often associated with Mansfield's work, the paper argues that her seemingly mundane cityscapes pulsate with a suppressed colonial tension. Through close textual analysis of key short stories set in London and Wellington, the paper unmasks the subtle yet potent ways in which power imbalances and structures of oppression permeate the urban experience. Mansfield's keen eye for detail reveals the dehumanizing effects of colonial hierarchies in the city. The paper examines how she portrays the city as a site of alienation and fragmentation, where individuals, particularly women and colonized subjects, are rendered invisible or subjected to microaggressions that chip away at their sense of self. Through nuanced character studies and evocative descriptions of urban spaces, Mansfield exposes the psychological and emotional toll of navigating a world shaped by colonial exploitation. Furthermore, the paper explores how Mansfield's narratives subtly critique the myth of the cosmopolitan city as a space of tolerance and inclusivity. By highlighting the experiences of marginalized groups like immigrants and colonized subjects, the paper demonstrates how the city often functions as a microcosm of colonial power dynamics, reinforcing existing hierarchies and perpetuating cycles of exclusion. Ultimately, "Decolonizing the City" argues that Katherine Mansfield's urban narratives offer a powerful critique of colonial modernity. By exposing the violence and exclusion embedded within seemingly ordinary cityscapes, Mansfield compels us to confront the dark side of the urban experience and reimagine the city as a space of equitable belonging.

School Integration in Arizona's White Mountains

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Due to Arizona?s mandated open enrollment policy for public schools, Blue Ridge Unified School District?s (BRUSD) population of Native American students has increased by 148% over the last 12 years as students migrate into BRUSD from Whiteriver Unified School District (WUSD) on the Fort Apache Reservation. This research examines the short-term effects of school choice policy in BRUSD by addressing the following sub-problems: 1) What are the administrative and faculty perceptions of changes affecting BRUSD? 2) What are the measured changes affecting BRUSD? Key findings include decreases in some test scores while other scores increase. Also, faculty is convinced the school is moving in positive directions as it deals with other comprehensive changes. Recommendations include that BRUSD incorporate best practices in schooling diverse populations and in Native American pedagogy. The overall conclusion is that BRUSD has a unique opportunity to provide a quality education for a diverse community of learners.

On Collision Avoiding Fixed-Time Flocking with Measurable Diameter to a Cucker–Smale-Type Self-Propelled Particle Model

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

Dealing with the fixed-time flocking issue is one of the most challenging problems for a Cucker–Smale-type self-propelled particle model. In this article, the fixed-time flocking is established by employing a fixed-time stability theorem when the communication weight function has a positive infimum. Compared with the initial condition-based finite-time stability, an upper bound of the settling time in this paper is merely dependent on the design parameters. Moreover, the size of the final flocking can be estimated by the number of particles and the initial states of the system. In addition, a sufficient condition is formulated to guarantee that all particles do not collide during the process of the flocking. These results can give a reasonable explanation to some flocking phenomena such as bird flocks, fish schools, or human group behaviors. Finally, three numerical examples are granted to display the performance of the obtained results.
Design and assessment of nanostructured lipid carriers for topical application of Cimicoxib

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Cimicoxib-loaded Nanostructured Lipid Carriers (NLCs) using the ultrasonication method highlights the effectiveness of this technique in producing stable and efficient drug delivery systems. The optimized lipid and surfactant composition played a vital role in achieving high drug entrapment and uniform carrier formation, consistent with recent findings that emphasize the importance of formulation parameters in NLC development. The in vitro release profile demonstrated an initial burst followed by sustained release, characteristic of NLCs with drug encapsulated within the lipid matrix. The higher release at pH 7.4 compared to pH 5.5 suggests that the drug release is influenced by the environmental pH, which could be leveraged for targeted delivery. These release kinetics fitting the Higuchi model indicate a diffusion-controlled mechanism, as corroborated by similar studies on lipid-based nanocarriers. The statistical analysis confirmed the significance of the observed differences in particle size, zeta potential, entrapment efficiency, and drug release profiles, supporting the reproducibility and reliability of the formulation process.

Anastomotic recurrence in the oesophagus complicating gastrectomy for adenocarcinoma of the stomach

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Summary Gastric adenocarcinomas often spread to the distal oesophagus. Failure to control the disease in this area during total and proximal subtotal gastrectomy results in recurrence at the oesophageal anastomosis. The incidence of recurrence in a series of 351 such patients was 10 per cent and was influenced by the location of the main lesion, the stage of the disease, the presence of tumour at the margin of resection and the length of clearance of the oesophageal margin. Recurrences were prevented only with in vivo margins greater than 12 cm. Dysphagia combined with radiological signs of oesophageal obstruction was diagnostic of anastomotic recurrence regardless of the results obtained by oesophagoscopy and biopsy. Treatment was seldom effective in patients developing recurrence. Complete excision of the entire recurrent process offered the only hope for a long survival in these patients. Prevention by obtaining adequate oesophageal clearance at the time of gastrectomy is the only reasonable approach to this problem. The adequacy of resection cannot be judged accurately by intraoperative palpation of the oesophagus or by frozen section examination of the surgical margins.
Analytical Methods to Identify Root Causes for Early Failure of an AC Contactor with Heavy Load Service Life Test

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Recently developed Silver/Tin oxide contact material Ag/SnO 2 14 WPA has been proven to fulfill AC contactor switching requirements as service life, make capacity, and overtemperature behavior in a very satisfactory way. Based on these experiences, early failures with an additional AC4 electrical endurance test at app. 60% of service life goal were unexpected and triggered in depth analytical evaluations to fix root causes. Applying microsections, microtome sectioning, ultrasonic analysis, optical and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) combined with energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDX) two different main root causes could be identified. Mixed oxide layers with high amounts of phosphorous as well as some layers with iron oxide were detected on the contact surface, probably originating from excess braze alloy rising the contact tip side and splitter plate splashing and evaporation, respectively. These contaminants on the surface react with tin oxide leading to thick mixed oxide layers causing probably severe arcing on make. This leads to high contact erosion and finally welding of the contacts.
Longing – a dynamic power in the becoming of health when suffering from cancer

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Background The aim of the study was to gain understanding of existential longing in health and suffering as experienced by persons who have been affected by a cancer disease. The theoretical perspective of the study is K. Eriksson's theory of Caring Science. Method Qualitative interviews with nine women with cancer were transcribed and interpreted using Gadamer's ontological hermeneutics. Results Four perspectives of longing when suffering from cancer are presented: Longing as a source to call upon for survival, Longing for the life prior to the illness, Longing directed towards deeper relations in everyday life, and Transcending longing moves towards the ultimate fulfilment. Interpretation The overall interpretation led to the following thesis about the dimension of longing in the human being: Longing is becoming in a movement towards reconciliation of life, and, Longing is becoming in a movement towards transcending life . Conclusion The results show that there seems to be a dynamic power in longing that can transform suffering and create health.
