Abstract

The signal induced by a temperate, terrestrial planet orbiting a Sun-like star is an order of magnitude smaller than the host stars' intrinsic variability. Understanding stellar activity is, therefore, a fundamental obstacle in confirming the smallest exoplanets. We present the Lowell Observatory Solar Telescope (LOST), a solar feed for the EXtreme PREcision Spectrometer (EXPRES) at the 4.3-m Lowell Discovery Telescope (LDT). EXPRES is one of the newest high-resolution spectrographs that accurately measure extreme radial velocity. With LOST/EXPRES, we observe disk-integrated sunlight autonomously throughout the day. In clear conditions, we achieve a ~137,500 optical spectrum of the Sun with a signal-to-noise of 500 in ~150s. Data is reduced using the standard EXPRES pipeline with minimal modification to ensure the data are comparable to the observations of other stars with the LDT. During the first three years of operation, we find a daily RMS of 71 cm/s. Additionally, having two EPRV spectrometers located in Arizona gives us an unprecedented opportunity to benchmark the performance of these planet-finders. We find a RMS of just 55 cm/s when comparing data taken simultaneously with EXPRES and NEID., Comment: SPIE Astronomical Telescopes & Instrumentation proceedings paper

Abstract

We explore the use of long-context capabilities in large language models to create synthetic reading comprehension data from entire books. Previous efforts to construct such datasets relied on crowd-sourcing, but the emergence of transformers with a context size of 1 million or more tokens now enables entirely automatic approaches. Our objective is to test the capabilities of LLMs to analyze, understand, and reason over problems that require a detailed comprehension of long spans of text, such as questions involving character arcs, broader themes, or the consequences of early actions later in the story. We propose a holistic pipeline for automatic data generation including question generation, answering, and model scoring using an ``Evaluator''. We find that a relative approach, comparing answers between models in a pairwise fashion and ranking with a Bradley-Terry model, provides a more consistent and differentiating scoring mechanism than an absolute scorer that rates answers individually. We also show that LLMs from different model families produce moderate agreement in their ratings. We ground our approach using the manually curated NarrativeQA dataset, where our evaluator shows excellent agreement with human judgement and even finds errors in the dataset. Using our automatic evaluation approach, we show that using an entire book as context produces superior reading comprehension performance compared to baseline no-context (parametric knowledge only) and retrieval-based approaches.

Abstract

Network security analysts gather data from diverse sources, from high-level summaries of network flow and traffic volumes to low-level details such as service logs from servers and the contents of individual packets. They validate and check this data against traffic patterns and historical indicators of compromise. Based on the results of this analysis, a decision is made to either automatically manage the traffic or report it to an analyst for further investigation. Unfortunately, due rapidly increasing traffic volumes, there are far more events to check than operational teams can handle for effective forensic analysis. However, just as packets are grouped into flows that share a commonality, we argue that a high-level construct for grouping network flows into a set a flows that share a hypothesis is needed to significantly improve the quality of operational network response by increasing Events Per Analysts Hour (EPAH). In this paper, we propose a formalism for describing a superflow construct, which we characterize as an aggregation of one or more flows based on an analyst-specific hypothesis about traffic behavior. We demonstrate simple superflow constructions and representations, and perform a case study to explain how the formalism can be used to reduce the volume of data for forensic analysis.

Abstract

Prompting language models to provide step-by-step answers (e.g., "Chain-of-Thought") is the prominent approach for complex reasoning tasks, where more accurate reasoning chains typically improve downstream task performance. Recent literature discusses automatic methods to verify reasoning to evaluate and improve their correctness. However, no fine-grained step-level datasets are available to enable thorough evaluation of such verification methods, hindering progress in this direction. We introduce REVEAL: Reasoning Verification Evaluation, a dataset to benchmark automatic verifiers of complex Chain-of-Thought reasoning in open-domain question-answering settings. REVEAL includes comprehensive labels for the relevance, attribution to evidence passages, and logical correctness of each reasoning step in a language model's answer, across a variety of datasets and state-of-the-art language models. Evaluation on REVEAL shows that verifiers struggle at verifying reasoning chains - in particular, verifying logical correctness and detecting contradictions.

Abstract

This study concerns the prediction of the hardness of reinforced high-density polyethylene waste (HDPEw) composites. The locally sourced palm inter-fruitlet membrane served as the reinforcing (filler) material while the Yoghurt Can wastes constituted the polymer matrix. The palm inter-fruitlet membrane, used for the study were pulverized and sieved to fine particle sizes. All filler particles passed through a mesh of 250 μm. Consequently, the filler sample was characterized using DTA, TGA, and FTIR techniques whereas SEM was used to study the morphology of the produced composite. Different weight-percentage compositions of the filler were used to produce the examined samples with the following formulations: 100 % LDPEw, 6wt.%, 12wt.%, 18wt.%, and 24wt.% filler composites using the compression moulding method. On the other hand, hardness, flexural, tensile, and impact strengths were conducted to understand the mechanical behaviour of the produced composites. Multiple regression and artificial neural networks were used to predict the experimental hardness values in consideration of other independent variables like composite formulations, tensile, flexural, and impact strengths. The result of the TGA analysis showed the weight loss and degradation of the organic constituents in the filler while the DTA study revealed a variety of thermal occurrences and transitions indicating dehydration, phase change, and filler disintegration. The maximum hardness value of 76.67 HV was recorded for the composite with 24 wt.% filler while the composite formulation with 12 wt.% filler had the highest flexural and impact strengths of 41.87 MPa and 0.4979 J/mm2 respectively. The composite composition with 18 wt.% filler gave the highest tensile strength of 39.04 MPa. The unequal distribution of the filler within the HDPEw matrix was revealed by the SEM micrographs. The more uniformly dispersed composites with 12 and 18 wt.% fillers were seen to have improved mechanical properties whereas the reverse was the case for the 24 wt.% filler composite formulation which was found to exhibit directional reinforcement zones. The mean squared error assessment of the predicted hardness values indicated that predictions by multiple regression were more accurate than those that were obtained by ANN. This outcome could be caused by the relative linearity of the examined variables.

Abstract

Objectives To assess self-reported symptoms of neuropathy, disability, pain, health-related quality of life (HR-QOL) and autonomic dysfunction in patients with vasculitis. Methods Patients with vasculitis (with or without neuropathy) were invited by Vasculitis UK to complete an anonymous online survey. Results Three hundred and twelve patients (71% female) responded. Median age was 61–70 years. Median duration of vasculitis was 4 years (<2 months to >15 years). Vasculitic types included granulomatosis with polyangiitis (34%), unspecified ANCA-associated vasculitis (13%), microscopic polyangiitis (11%), eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (11%), giant cell arteritis (10%), non-systemic vasculitic neuropathy (2%) and other (19%). Many patients reported foot/hand symptoms suggestive of neuropathy, including numbness (64%), pain (54%) or weakness (40%). Two hundred and forty-two patients (78%) met our definition of probable vasculitic neuropathy: diagnosis of neuropathy by vasculitis team OR numbness OR weakness in feet/hands. Only 52% had been formally diagnosed with neuropathy. Compared with 70 patients without neuropathy, neuropathy patients had greater disability measured by the inflammatory Rasch-built Overall Disability Scale (centile mean 63.1 [ s. d. 17.3] vs 75.2 [16.7]; P  < 0.0001), Inflammatory Neuropathy Cause and Treatment scale (median 2 [interquartile range 1–4] vs 0.5 [0–2]; P  < 0.0001) and modified Rankin scale (median 2 [interquartile range 1–3] vs 2 [1–2)]; P  = 0.0002); greater pain on an 11-point rating scale (mean 4.6 [ s. d. 2.6] vs 3.5 [2.8]; P  = 0.0009); and poorer HR-QOL on the EQ5D-3L (summary index mean 0.58 [ s. d. 0.29] vs 0.69 [0.28]; P  < 0.0001). Two-thirds reported autonomic symptoms (not associated with neuropathy). Conclusion Neuropathy is common and associated with significant disability, pain and impaired HR-QOL in patients with systemic vasculitis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

STUDY QUESTION What is the prevalence of occupational stress, somatization, and burnout reported by UK and US, embryologists and the impact of work conditions on these well-being outcomes? SUMMARY ANSWER Surveyed UK and US embryologists reported moderate perceived stress, low somatic symptom severity, high levels of burnout, and overall stressful work conditions, but with differences that could be due to country-specific occupational and employment characteristics. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY? Spanish, UK, US, and international surveys have identified high levels of occupational stress, somatization, burnout, and occupational health issues among embryologists. These issues have been attributed to embryologists' occupational challenges and work conditions. STUDY DESIGN, SIZE, DURATION A cross-sectional web-based survey was sent to 253 embryologists working in UK ART/IVF clinics and 487 embryologists working in US ART/IVF clinics. PARTICIPANTS/MATERIALS, SETTING, METHODS Participants self-reported their stress levels, somatization, burnout, and work conditions. Proportions across the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-15), Maslach Burnout Inventory-General Survey (MBI-GS), a single-item work unit grade (A–F), and customized occupational and sociodemographic questionnaires were calculated using descriptive statistics. Welch's t -test was utilized to compare PSS and PHQ-15 scores between groups. Risk ratios were calculated using log-binomial regression for all models except for levels of anxiety related to performing cryostorage tasks, for which Poisson models were used. MAIN RESULTS AND THE ROLE OF CHANCE In total, 50.6% (128) of the embryologists in the UK and 50.1% (244) in the US completed the survey. Both groups self-reported moderate PSS and low PHQ-15 scores, although fewer UK embryologists scored high on the MBI cynicism dimension than their US colleagues (43% UK vs 60% US embryologists, P  <   0.05). The UK and US embryologists did not differ on the MBI exhaustion dimension with both scoring high for exhaustion (59% UK vs 62% US). Although 81% and 80% of UK and US embryologists, respectively, reported working overtime, more embryologists in the UK reported being adequately compensated. Increasing levels of anxiety-related to cryostorage showed a dose-dependent increased risk of burnout on at least two MBI-GS dimensions only in the UK group, and, a dose-dependent likelihood of higher PSS and PHQ-15 scores in both groups. LIMITATIONS, REASONS FOR CAUTION Since the two groups were surveyed 9 months apart and were self-reporting, the study is limited by the differences in responsibilities, scheduling, and workload specific to the time of year. WIDER IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGS Work-related health issues and occupational challenges shared by UK and US embryologists could be addressed by organizational enhancements and technology. Lower levels of stress and burnout among UK embryologists might be due to the HFEA-provided structure/certainty.

Abstract

Cyclopropanols are versatile starting materials which can undergo various ring opening reactions due to their intrisic ring strain. Herein, we report two transition metal-catalyzed α-hydroxycyclopropanol ring opening cyclizations to divergently transform the same α-hydroxycyclopropanol substrate into two different products of enhanced value. One is a palladium-catalyzed α-hydroxycyclopropanol ring opening carbonylative lactonization to synthesize δ-valerolactones. The other one is a copper-catalyzed α-hydroxycyclopropanol ring opening cyclization to access furanones. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

The parabolic equation method is the most effective approach for solving wave propagation problems in environments with strong vertical variations and gradual horizontal variations. This approach efficiently provides accurate solutions for problems involving sloping fluid-fluid interfaces, sloping solid-solid interfaces, and sloping solid boundaries. There remains a need for improvement for the case of sloping fluid-solid interfaces. The most promising approach to date is the combination of a single-scattering approximation and the treatment of part of the fluid layer as a solid layer with low shear speed. This is a singular perturbation, which results in rapid oscillations near the interface between the low-speed layer and the true solid layer. It is demonstrated here that the rapid oscillations may be eliminated by using slip conditions at the interface between the low-speed layer and the true solid layer. Stability problems were encountered when attempting to directly implement the slip conditions, but this problem was resolved by using an equivalent condition involving the normal derivative of the tangential displacement. This progress does not fully resolve the case of the sloping fluid-solid interface. There remains a need to find a vertical interface condition that is compatible with the slip conditions and that provides accurate results for problems involving sloping fluid-solid interfaces.

Abstract

Hyperphosphatemic familial tumoral calcinosis (HFTC) is a rare disorder caused by deficient FGF23 signaling and resultant ectopic calcification. Here, we systematically characterized and quantified macro- and micro-calcification in a HFTC cohort using CT and 18F-sodium fluoride PET/CT (18F-NaF PET/CT). Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy was performed on 4 phenotypically different calcifications from a patient with HFTC, showing the dominant component to be hydroxyapatite. Eleven patients with HFTC were studied with CT and/or 18F-NaF PET/CT. Qualitative review was done to describe the spectrum of imaging findings on both modalities. CT-based measures of volume (eg, total calcific burden and lesion volume) and density (Hounsfield units) were quantified and compared to PET-based measures of mineralization activity (eg, mean standardized uptake values—SUVs). Microcalcification scores were calculated for the vasculature of 6 patients using 18F-NaF PET/CT and visualized on a standardized vascular atlas. Ectopic calcifications were present in 82% of patients, predominantly near joints and the distal extremities. Considerable heterogeneity was observed in total calcific burden per patient (823.0 ± 670.1 cm3, n = 9) and lesion volume (282.5 ± 414.8 cm3, n = 27). The largest lesions were found at the hips and shoulders. 18F-NaF PET offered the ability to differentiate active vs quiescent calcifications. Calcifications were also noted in multiple anatomic locations, including brain parenchyma (50%). Vascular calcification was seen in the abdominal aorta, carotid, and coronaries in 50%, 73%, and 50%, respectively. 18F-NaF-avid, but CT-negative calcification was seen in a 17-year-old patient, implicating early onset vascular calcification. This first systematic assessment of calcifications in a cohort of patients with HFTC has identified the early onset, prevalence, and extent of calcification. It supports 18F-NaF PET/CT as a clinical tool for distinguishing between active and inactive calcification, informing disease progression, and quantification of ectopic and vascular disease burden. Lay Summary: Hyperphosphatemic familial tumoral calcinosis (HFTC) is a rare disorder in which patients develop sometimes large debilitating calcifications of soft tissues and blood vessels. It is caused by deficient fibroblast growth factor-23 that leads to high phosphate levels, which contributes to the calcifications. The calcifications and manifestations of this disorder have not been well characterized. We determined the mineral composition of the calcifications to be hydroxyapatite. Capitalizing on the fact fluoride can be integrated into hydroxyapatite, we used radiolabeled sodium fluoride PET/CT scans (18F-NaF PET/CT) to characterize and quantify the calcifications in 11 patients. Eighty-two percent of the patients had calcifications, with the largest located at the hips and shoulders. Micro-calcifications were found in the blood vessels of most patients, including children. The technique also enabled us to differentiate between active vs stable calcifications. This first systematic assessment of calcifications in patients with HFTC showed the utility of 18F-NaF PET/CT as a tool to identify and quantify calcifications, as well as distinguish between active and stable calcifications. This approach will inform disease progression and may prove useful for measuring response to treatment. Graphical Abstract [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Jansen metaphyseal chondrodysplasia (JMC) is an ultra-rare disorder caused by germline heterozygous PTHR1 variants resulting in constitutive activation of parathyroid hormone type 1 receptor. A description of ocular manifestations of the disease is lacking. Six patients with JMC underwent a detailed ophthalmic evaluation, spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT), visual field testing, and craniofacial CT scans. Five of 6 patients had good visual acuity. All patients had widely spaced eyes; 5/6 had downslanted palpebral fissures. One patient had proptosis, and another had bilateral ptosis. Two patients had incomplete closure of the eyelids (lagophthalmos), one had a history of progressive right facial nerve palsy with profuse epiphora, while the second had advanced optic nerve atrophy with corresponding retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thinning on OCT and significant bilateral optic canal narrowing on CT scan. Additionally, this patient also had central visual field defects and abnormal color vision. A third patient had normal visual acuity, subtle temporal pallor of the optic nerve head, normal average RNFL, but decreased temporal RNFL and retinal ganglion cell layer analysis (GCA) on OCT. GCA was decreased in 4/6 patients indicating a subclinical optic nerve atrophic process. None of the patients had glaucoma or high myopia. These data represent the first comprehensive report of ophthalmic findings in JMC. Patients with JMC have significant eye findings associated with optic canal narrowing due to extensive skull base dysplastic bone overgrowth that appear to be more prevalent and pronounced with age. Progressive optic neuropathy from optic canal narrowing may be a feature of JMC, and OCT GCA can serve as a useful biomarker for progression in the setting of optic canal narrowing. We suggest that patients with JMC should undergo regular ophthalmic examination including color vision, OCT, visual field testing, orbital, and craniofacial imaging. Lay Summary: Jansen metaphyseal chondrodysplasia (JMC) is an ultra-rare disorder caused by overactivity of the parathyroid hormone type 1 receptor, a receptor that is important for regulating bone development. Some patients report eye problems, but these have not been well-described. We therefore performed extensive eye examinations in 6 individuals with JMC. One had progressive right-sided facial paralysis associated with eye-tearing and dryness. A second individual had decreased central vision. Using optical coherence tomography (OCT), a method which takes detailed pictures of the retina, we found thinning of the retina's nerve layers (RNFL). Computed tomography (CT) of the skull showed narrowing of the bony canal through which the optic nerve passes. A third individual had normal vision but RNFL thinning just on the sides. Analysis of ganglion cells, the nerve cells carrying signals from the retina to the brain, showed localized deterioration of the optic nerve; skull CT also revealed optic canal narrowing. These findings suggest that JMC is associated with progressive damage to the optic nerve. Thus, patients with JMC would benefit from regular eye exams including OCT and visual field testing, in addition to routine imaging. Graphical Abstract [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
