Written into Submission: Reassessing Sovereignty through a Forgotten Eurasian Dynasty

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

The Central Asian city of Shahrisabz has long been a historical footnote, widely regarded as an unruly "province in rebellion" plaguing its more powerful overlords in Bukhara during the seventeenth through late nineteenth centuries. In fact, it was an autonomous city-state in its own right, and the mechanisms through which it has been written into submission in the historiography reveal much about historical methodology and premodern logics of sovereignty. To recover Shahrisabz's story, this article pursues a non-hegemonic reading of hegemonic Persian writing (a strategy more frequently applied to colonial sources) and pieces together scattered textual fragments composed in the city itself. In doing so, it illustrates the ways in which variegated forms of symbolic submission and coercive power intersected to create complexes not easily mappable to modern binaries. Seemingly contradictory forms of sovereignty routinely coexisted within a single polity, and greater specificity is necessary to capture a kaleidoscope of permutations. Thus source methodology and sovereignty stand as two conceptual domains intrinsically intertwined, with insights into the latter possible only with careful attention to the former.
Flame Detectors for Residue Analysis by GLC

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

This presentation reviews characteristics of three gas chromatographic detectors: The flame ionization, the flame photometric, and the alkali-flame detector. Modes of operation, sensitivity and selectivity limits, and the relative advantages and disadvantages of these detectors are covered from the viewpoint of the residue chemist. In a final section dealing with recent research of the authors own group, the magnitude and range of the negative alkali flame detector response (inverted peaks) is characterized. It is favored by a smooth and clean alkali salt surface, a large bead bore, and high hydrogen and low carrier gas flows. The phenomenon has been used for qualitative and semiquantitative structure analysis by GLC.
A Spatially Separable Attention Mechanism for Massive MIMO CSI Feedback

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Channel State Information (CSI) Feedback plays a crucial role in achieving higher gains through beamforming. However, for a massive MIMO system, this feedback overhead is huge and grows linearly with the number of antennas. To reduce the feedback overhead several compressive sensing (CS) techniques were implemented in recent years but these techniques are often iterative and are computationally complex to realize in power-constrained user equipment (UE). Hence, a data-based deep learning approach took over in these recent years introducing a variety of neural networks for CSI compression. Specifically, transformer-based networks have been shown to achieve state-of-the-art performance. However, the multi-head attention operation, which is at the core of transformers, is computationally complex making transformers difficult to implement on a UE. In this work, we present a lightweight transformer named STNet which uses a spatially separable attention mechanism that is significantly less complex than the traditional full-attention. Equipped with this, STNet outperformed state-of-the-art models in some scenarios with approximately $1/10^{th}$ of the resources.
Resource Use Efficiency Analysis for the Cucumber Production in the Bishnupur District of Manipur and Sepahijala District of Tripura, India

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Vegetable crops offer high yields, better profits, and job opportunities, making diversified agriculture successful in the northeastern region. Cucumbers are a popular and in-demand crop, especially among small and marginal farmers due to low cultivable land. The research study's conclusions regarding the cultivation and marketing of cucumbers in the Northeastern states of Tripura and Manipur are emphasized in this article. Data was collected from 80 respondents by adopting random sampling in 2022–2023. The study used a production function approach to analyse the efficiency of various input resources in cucumber production. The Cobb Douglas production function was used for Manipur and Tripura farms to fit the analysis. Factors affecting crop yield were identified, such as seeds, fertilizer, plant protection chemicals, human labor charges, and organic manure. The results showed that the unadjusted coefficient of multiple determinations (Ṝ2) was 0.62 and 0.58, respectively, which explained 62 and 58% of the variation in output. The remaining 38 and 42% variation in total output was explained by factors not included in the model. In Manipur, all coefficients of seed, plant protection chemical, and organic manure were positively significant at a 1% level of significance. In Tripura, all coefficients of fertilizer, human labor, and organic manure were positively significant at a 1% level of significance and also examined the relationship between the average value productivity of a resource with the factor's cost about resource use efficiency in cucumber production. The optimal resource use efficiency of a particular input occurs when the marginal value product (MVP) and marginal factor cost (MFC) are equal, or when MVP/MFC=1. The calculated values of the ratio of marginal value product to marginal factor cost were less than unity except for fertilizer in Tripura, indicating that seed, fertilizer, PPC, and organic manure in Manipur are overutilized, and fertilizers in Tripura are underutilized.
The incidence and nature of fibrous continuity between the sphenomandibular ligament and the anterior malleolar ligament of the middle ear.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The purpose of this study was to determine the structural interrelationship between the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and the middle ear, in terms of fibrous continuity between the sphenomandibular ligament (SML) of the mandible and the anterior malleolar ligament (AML) of the middle ear. Thirty-seven specimens of the TMJ and middle ear were obtained from adult human cadavers. The temporal bone, petrotympanic fissure, mandibular fossa, and middle ear were dissected en bloc, fixed, sectioned, stained, and observed microscopically. Of the 37 specimens, 67.6% had a continuity of the SML through the fissure passing near the malleus of the middle ear. The AML was present at the fissure in 64.9% of the specimens, with 58.3% passing through and not stopping at the fissure. Results indicated a fibrous continuity between the SML and the AML. Structural differences between the two ligaments were also noted. The SML contained randomly arranged fibrous connective tissue with numerous interposed blood vessels. The AML had a smooth arrangement of fibers within the connective tissue, and few blood vessels were apparent. The clear anatomic relationship observed strongly supports the contention of a functional interrelationship between the TMJ and the middle ear.
Does buck stimulation affect the reproductive performance of goats synchronized with Medroxyprogesterone Acetate (MAP) sponges?

Field: Veterinary (Health Sciences)

This investigation was executed to determine effect of buck exposure on estrus response, onset of standing estrus, ovulation rate, conception rate and pregnancy rate in goats synchronized with medroxyprogesterone acetate (MAP) sponges. Sponges were placed inside the vagina for fifteen days in buck exposed and isolated groups. Post sponge withdrawal, estrus activities were continuously observed. The interval between sponge withdrawal and the onset of standing estrus were 32.3±10 h (18-51 h) and 45.2±10.9 h (27-51h) in buck isolated and exposed group respectively (p<0.05). Ovulation and conception rates were confirmed by serum progesterone level using radioimmunoassay. Ovulation rates were 100% in both groups and conception rates were 93% and 100% in buck exposed and in isolated group respectively (p>0.05). Pregnancies were confirmed by ultrasound on day 35 post mating which were 93%, was and 69% in buck exposed and isolated group respectively (p>0.05). Based upon the evidence, it was inference that post sponge removal sudden buck exposure cause markedly earlier estrus onset while the continuous buck exposure was unable to show significantly impact on conception and pregnancy rates compare to isolated group.

Direct muscle neurotization after end-to-end and end-to-side neurorrhaphy An experimental study in the rat forelimb model

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The need for the continuous research of new tools for improving motor function recovery after nerve injury is justified by the still often unsatisfactory clinical outcome in these patients. It has been previously shown that the combined use of two reconstructive techniques, namely end-to-side neurorrhaphy and direct muscle neurotization in the rat hindlimb model, can lead to good results in terms of skeletal muscle reinnervation. Here we show that, in the rat forelimb model, the combined use of direct muscle neurotization with either end-to-end or end-to-side neurorrhaphy to reinnervate the denervated flexor digitorum muscles, leads to muscle atrophy prevention over a long postoperative time lapse (10 months). By contrast, very little motor recovery (in case of end-to-end neurorrhaphy) and almost no motor recovery (in case of end-to-side neurorrhaphy) were observed in the grasping activity controlled by flexor digitorum muscles. It can thus be concluded that, at least in the rat, direct muscle neurotization after both end-to-end and end-to-side neurorrhaphy represents a good strategy for preventing denervation-related muscle atrophy but not for regaining the lost motor function.

A B S T R A C T Health screening services are the services provided by health professionals to screen the health status of individuals with or without positive signs and symptoms of a disease and typically which is affordable, comprehensive, reliable and inexpensive flexible test. The objective of the study is to screen the health status of diabetic and hypertensive patients in a selected community pharmacy set up. It is a prospective, investigational and community based study conducted for a period of one year. The community pharmacy set up and patients were selected based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Ninety eight patients were screened, 58(59.18%) diabetic with hypertension, 26(26.53%) hypertension and 14 (14.28%) diabetic, males 62(63.26%) and females 36(36.73%), systolic blood pressure normal 2(2.04%), prehypertension 42(42.85%), stage 1 hypertension 42(42.85%) and stage 2- 12(12.24%) and diastolic normal 12(12.24%), prehypertension 41(41.83%), stage 1 hypertension 38(38.77%) and stage 2 hypertension 07(07.14%). Random blood sugar level screened in 72 patients and found normal 10(13.88%), moderate 41(56.94%), severe 21(29.16%). This study finding suggest that the community pharmacy health screening services should be provided to enhance public awareness on the seriousness of diabetes and hypertension, its complications and to know their health status.
Mountain gorilla genomes reveal the impact of long-term population decline and inbreeding

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

Genomes in the mist The mountain gorilla is an iconic species that is at high risk of extinction. Xue et al. have sequenced 13 gorillas from two different populations to probe their genetic diversity. The genomes show large tracts of homozygosity and the loss of highly deleterious genetic variants, indicating population bottlenecks and inbreeding. This loss of genetic diversity appears to have started over 20,000 years ago and may have been caused by changes in climate and human-associated effects. Science , this issue p. 242
Phases of Going Digital: A Framework for Assessing Newsroom Digitalisation Process

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The success stories of digitalised newsrooms mostly depict outstanding news organisations with abundant resources. However, newsrooms with limited resources (e.g., local newspapers, media organisations of tiny media systems, especially in non-Western regions and new democracies) also undergo digitalisation. This study delves into the newsroom digitalisation processes, spotlighting the indicators characterising different phases of digitalisation. We conducted semi-structured interviews with Estonian online journalists. The interviews were conducted in five waves between 2012 and 2023. Our results show that the transformation from legacy to the digital newsroom is a complex structure of factors, manifesting indicators that become evident in certain phases of digitalisation. These indicators include technological, production-related, human capital, and audience perception domains. If some indicators do not exhibit complete transformation, the newsroom may be unable to move into the next phase. This study contributes to the conceptual understanding of digital journalism epistemology by presenting a framework of newsroom digitalisation phases.
SLICC damage index score in systemic lupus erythematosus patients and its associated factors

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract The aims of this study were to determine damage index in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients based on Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics/American College of Rheumatology (SLICC/ACR) Damage Index (SDI) and to determine the laboratory and clinico-demographic factors affecting SDI. This is a retrospective cohort study of 94 SLE patients attending rheumatology clinics in 2 local hospitals in Kelantan, Malaysia. The patients were divided into 2 groups based on SDI score assigned by the attending physician, 0 (without damage) or ≥1 (with damage). Newly diagnosed SLE patients with disease duration less than 6 months were excluded. A total of 45 (47.9%) SLE patients showed damage by SDI score. Majority of the subjects had neuropsychiatric damages (21/94; 22.3%) followed by skin (12/94; 12.8%) and musculoskeletal (6/94; 6.4%) damage. SDI score was significantly associated with higher disease duration (6.2 ± 6.57 years vs 4.5 ± 3.7 years; P = .018), lower prednisolone dose (8.74 ± 10.89 mg vs 4.89 ± 3.81 mg; P < .001), hypertension ( P = .007), and exposure to cyclophosphamide ( P = .004). Hypertension ( P = .020), exposure to cyclophosohamide ( P = 0.013), and lower prednisolone dose ( P = .023) were significantly associated with damage by multivariable analysis. Higher SDI score was significantly associated with exposure to cyclophosphamide, suggesting that lower cyclophosphamide doses or alternative therapeutic agents are recommended.
Hierarchical Factor Analysis Methodology for Intelligent Manufacturing

Field: Decision Sciences (Social Sciences)

To realize intelligent manufacturing, a controllable factory must be built, and manufacturing competitiveness must be achieved through the improvement of product quality and yield. The yield in the micromanufacturing process is gaining importance as a management factor used in deciding the production cost and product quality as product functions becomes more sophisticated. Because the micromanufacturing process involves manufacturing products through multiple steps, it is difficult to determine the process or equipment that has encountered failure, which can lead to difficulty in securing high yields. This study presents a structural model for building a factory integration system to analyze big data at manufacturing sites and a hierarchical factor analysis methodology to increase product yield and quality in an intelligent manufacturing environment. To improve the product yield, it is necessary to analyze the fault factors that cause low yields and locate and manage the critical processes and equipment factors that affect these fault factors. However, yield management is a difficult problem because there exists a correlation between equipment, and in the sequence of process equipment that the lot passed through, the downstream and the upstream cause complex faults. This study used data‐mining techniques to identify suspected processes and equipment that affect the yield of products in the manufacturing process and to analyze the key factors of the equipment. Ultimately, we propose a methodology to find the key factors of the suspected process and equipment that directly affect the implementation of the intelligent manufacturing scheme and the yield of the product. To verify the effect of key parameters of critical processes and equipment on the yield, the proposed methodology was applied to actual manufacturing sites.
MET Inhibitors in Small Cell Lung Cancer: From the Bench to the Bedside

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is the most aggressive type of lung cancer. The different systemic treatment approaches attempted in the last 35 years have not improved overall survival in the advanced stage. Targeted therapies assessed in clinical trials have failed to show efficacy against SCLC. Within the potentially interesting targets, the hepatocyte growth factor (HGF)/mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET) pathway activation is associated with worse survival and chemoresistance in SCLC. Preclinical data suggest that the inhibition of the MET pathway can revert chemoresistance and prevent tumor growth. Recently, immunotherapy has shown modest but relevant activity in SCLC. Interestingly, MET modulation seems to be involved in increasing the efficacy of standard checkpoint inhibitors. Here, we review the preclinical and clinical data of MET inhibition in SCLC, and the role of this pathway in the immune response.
A fully automated algorithm for estimating attenuation length in 3D from projection data

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

An algorithm is described for estimating attenuation length in 3D from sinogram or projection data, by which 3D attenuation correction can be performed in brain PET imaging for given attenuation coefficients. The algorithm begins with the estimation of scalp contours from sinogram data, based on optimal thresholding, spline smoothing and interpolation and backprojection. A cubic B-spline surface is then introduced to accurately describe the scalp surface by the least squares fitting to the stacked 2D estimated scalp contours. Due to the use of this surface model, an efficient and accurate technique is developed for estimation of a distance between two intersecting points formed by an arbitrary projection ray and the scalp surface. This fully automated and fast algorithm has been applied to sinogram and projection data collected using PENN-PET scanners. It has the potential to be used in routine clinical PET imaging.
Challenges in the acceptance/licensing of a mobile ballistic missile range safety technology (BMRST) system

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Abstract : This paper describes the challenges in the acceptance and licensing of a mobile range safety system. The paper details, in particular, the Ballistic Missile Range Safety Technology (BMRST) System that has been developed by the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), Space Vehicle Directorate, Ballistic Missile Technology program. The BMRST Program is to develop and to demonstrate a certifiable mobile launch range tracking and control system based upon the Global Positioning System (GPS) that can support military and commercial space launch vehicles for range safety applications. The BMRST System does provide precise remote position using the GPS and an Inertial Navigation System (INS). The BMRST equipment installed on-board the launch vehicle transmits information using an S band data link to two mobile ground tracking antenna systems that are part of the BMRST Mobile Operations Center (MOC). The BMRST also has a Command Destruct System (CDS) capability. The uniqueness of design and operation results in challenges for the acceptance/licensing process. This paper will outline and discuss the overall BMRST Acceptance/Licensing Program that includes various test and demonstration efforts. Coordination with the DoD ranges, the Range Commanders Council, and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will also be addressed.

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

We present a multiparty quantum secret sharing scheme of classical information with Bell states and decoy states. This scheme can save a lot of photons because eavesdropping checks are performed only twice; in addition, it has the advantage of high intrinsic efficiency for qubits because every Bell states can generate two bits of classical secret information; moreover, only the dealer and one of the agents are required to store photons; most important of all, this scheme can resist all the attacks that have been proposed.
A PARALLEL VERSION OF THE MPEG-2 ENCODING ALGORITHM FORMALLY ANALYZED USING ALGEBRAIC SPECIFICATIONS

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

MPEG-2 is a wide used group of standards, established by the Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG), for the digital compression of broadcast-quality full-motion video. Due to its high acceptance, it is very important to ensure that it behaves in a correct manner. To avoid vulnerability problems the MPEG-2 encoding algorithm has been already formally specified and verified for its correctness. In this paper, we propose the use of the OTS/CafeOBJ Method in order to prove that two MPEG-2 encoding algorithms for the same input produce the same output. Our approach is based on a simplified parallel version of the MPEG-2 encoder. Also, we have proved a mutual exclusion property for this parallel algorithm.
