3. Economic Recommender Systems -- A Systematic Review

Abstract

Many of today's online services provide personalized recommendations to their users. Such recommendations are typically designed to serve certain user needs, e.g., to quickly find relevant content in situations of information overload. Correspondingly, the academic literature in the field largely focuses on the value of recommender systems for the end user. In this context, one underlying assumption is that the improved service that is achieved through the recommendations will in turn positively impact the organization's goals, e.g., in the form of higher customer retention or loyalty. However, in reality, recommender systems can be used to target organizational economic goals more directly by incorporating monetary considerations such as price awareness and profitability aspects into the underlying recommendation models. In this work, we survey the existing literature on what we call Economic Recommender Systems based on a systematic review approach that helped us identify 133 relevant papers. We first categorize existing works along different dimensions and then review the most important technical approaches from the literature. Furthermore, we discuss common methodologies to evaluate such systems and finally outline the limitations of today's research and future directions.

5. Geometric flows and the Swampland

Author

De Biasio, Davide

Subjects
High Energy Physics - Theory, Mathematics - Differential Geometry
Abstract

After an introductory chapter on the quantum supersymmetric string, in which particular attention will be devoted to the techniques via which phenomenologically viable models can be obtained from the ultraviolet microscopic degrees of freedom, and a brief review of the swampland program, the technical tools required to deal with geometric flows will be outlined. The evolution of a broad family of scalar and metric bubble solutions under Perelman's combined flow will be then discussed, together with their asymptotic behaviour. Thereafter, the geometric flow equations associated to a generalised version of Perelman's entropy function will be derived and employed in defining the action-induced flow associated to a given theory for a scalar field and a dynamical metric. The problem of preserving Einstein field equations along the corresponding moduli space trajectories will be cured by allowing a supplementary energy-momentum tensor term to appear along the flow. In a particular example, such contribution will be shown to precisely reproduce the infinite tower of states with exponentially dropping masses postulated by the distance conjecture., Comment: 175 pages

Abstract

Single-particle cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) has become an essential structural determination technique with recent hardware developments making it possible to reach atomic resolution, at which individual atoms, including hydrogen atoms, can be resolved. In this study, we used the enzyme involved in the penultimate step of riboflavin biosynthesis as a test specimen to benchmark a recently installed microscope and determine if other protein complexes could reach a resolution of 1.5 Å or better, which so far has only been achieved for the iron carrier ferritin. Using state-of-the-art microscope and detector hardware as well as the latest software techniques to overcome microscope and sample limitations, a 1.42 Å map of Aquifex aeolicus lumazine synthase (AaLS) was obtained from a 48 h microscope session. In addition to water molecules and ligands involved in the function of AaLS, we can observe positive density for ∼50% of the hydrogen atoms. A small improvement in the resolution was achieved by Ewald sphere correction which was expected to limit the resolution to ∼1.5 Å for a molecule of this diameter. Our study confirms that other protein complexes can be solved to near-atomic resolution. Future improvements in specimen preparation and protein complex stabilization may allow more flexible macromolecules to reach this level of resolution and should become a priority of study in the field.

Abstract

The increasing volume of end‐of‐life (EoL) photovoltaic (PV) modules poses a significant challenge, necessitating efficient and sustainable recycling processes. In the PVReValue project, it is aimed to develop a comprehensive methodology for the systematic separation and recycling of EoL PV modules. Central to this effort is the precise determination of layer thicknesses, critical for effective characterization, and separation of input material. In this study, a comparative analysis of various industrial‐applicable methods is conducted for measuring layer thicknesses in PV modules. Both destructive and nondestructive techniques are evaluated based on criteria such as time, cost, accuracy, and applicability. Methods such as optical coherence tomography (OCT), coaxial multicolor confocal measurement, and ultrasonic measurements are assessed alongside traditional approaches like calotte grinding and optical 3D microscopy. In these findings, it is indicated that while OCT and confocal measurement offer high accuracy and nondestructiveness, they are complex and costly. Conversely, calotte grinding, although less costly, provides only localized information and can be challenging for polymers. In this study, it is concluded with recommendations for the possible integration of these methods into an industrial recycling workflow, highlighting the potential for improving PV module recycling efficiency and sustainability.

Abstract

In this work, the problem of constructing geometric flow equations that preserve Einstein field equations for the spacetime metric is addressed. After having briefly discussed the main features of Ricci flow, the on-shell flow equations for a system comprised of a dynamical metric and a set of matter fields are constructed. Then, two examples in which the matter content is just a single, self-interacting scalar field are analysed in detail, imposing the geometric flow equations to be the action-induced ones. In conclusion, an explicit connection to the Swampland Distance Conjecture is proposed., Comment: 72 pages, 18 figures

Abstract

Patterned hair loss (PHL) or androgenetic alopecia is a condition affecting about 50% of people worldwide. Several pharmacological medications have been developed over the years, but few studies have investigated their effectiveness. Therefore, new, safer and more effective strategies are required. Recent investigations showed that Annurca apple extract application could induce keratin production and promote hair growth thanks to the high amount of procyanidin B2 contained in. Hence, this study aimed to investigate the role of an Annurca apple extract in preventing PHL by testing it on human follicle dermal papilla cells (HFDPCs) for the first time. Treatment of HFDPCs with Annurca apple extract counteracted intracellular reactive oxygen species accumulation by increasing the activity of antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase 2 and catalase. Furthermore, treatment with Annurca apple extract increased β‐catenin and fibroblast growth factor 2, which are involved in hair growth stimulation. These data suggest that Annurca apple extract may be a potential therapeutically useful nutraceutical product for preventing or treating hair loss by reducing oxidative stress and inducing the expression of hair growth‐related factors.

Abstract

Abstract Background Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D). Early markers of CVD include increased carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) and pulse wave velocity (PWV), but these existing ultrasound technologies show limited spatial and temporal resolution in young adults. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the utility of high-resolution ultrasound modalities, including high frequency ultrasound CIMT (hfCIMT) and ultrafast ultrasound PWV (ufPWV), in young adults with Type 1 Diabetes. Methods This is a prospective single-center observational cohort study including 39 participants with T1D and 25 age and sex matched controls. All participants underwent hfCIMT and ufPWV measurements. hfCIMT and ufPWV measures of T1D were compared with controls and associations with age, sex, BMI, A1c, blood pressure, and lipids were studied. Results Mean age was 24.1 years old in both groups. T1D had a greater body mass index (27.7 [5.7] vs 23.1 [3.2] kg/m2), LDL Cholesterol, and estimated GFR, and had a mean A1c of 7.4 [1.0] % (57 mmol/mol) and diabetes duration of 16.1 [3.7] years with 56% using insulin pumps. In T1D, hfCIMT was significantly increased as compared to controls (0.435 ± 0.06 mm vs 0.379 ± 0.06 mm respectively, p

13. Gradient flow of Einstein-Maxwell theory and Reissner-Nordstr\'om black holes

Subjects
High Energy Physics - Theory
Abstract

Ricci flow is a natural gradient flow of the Einstein-Hilbert action. Here we consider the analog for the Einstein-Maxwell action, which gives Ricci flow with a stress tensor contribution coupled to a Yang-Mills flow for the Maxwell field. We argue that this flow is well-posed for static spacetimes with pure electric or magnetic potentialsand show it preserves both non-extremal and extremal black hole horizons. In the latter case we find the flow of the near horizon geometry decouples from that of the exterior. The Schwarzschild black hole is an unstable fixed point of Ricci flow for static spacetimes. Here we consider flows of the Reissner-Nordstr\"om (RN) fixed point. The magnetic RN solution becomes a stable fixed point of the flow for sufficient charge. However we find that the electric RN black hole is always unstable. Numerically solving the flow starting with a spherically symmetric perturbation of a non-extremal RN solution, we find similar behaviour in the electric case to the Ricci flows of perturbed Schwarzschild, namely the horizon shrinks to a singularity in finite time or expands forever. In the magnetic case, a perturbed unstable RN solution has a similar expanding behaviour, but a perturbation that decreases the horizon size flows to a stable black hole solution rather than a singularity. For extremal RN we solve the near horizon flow for spherical symmetry exactly, and see in the electric case two unstable directions which flow to singularities in finite flow time. However, even turning these off, and fixing the near horizon geometry to be that of RN, we numerically show that the flows appear to become singular in the vicinity of its horizon., Comment: 46 pages, 12 figures

14. Cobordism, Singularities and the Ricci Flow Conjecture

Subjects
High Energy Physics - Theory
Abstract

In the following work, an attempt to conciliate the Ricci flow conjecture and the Cobordism conjecture, stated as refinements of the Swampland distance conjecture and of the No global symmetries conjecture respectively, is presented. This is done by starting from a suitable manifold with trivial cobordism class, applying surgery techniques to Ricci flow singularities and trivialising the cobordism class of one of the resulting connected components via the introduction of appropriate defects. The specific example of $\Omega^{SO}_4$ is studied in detail. A connection between the process of blowing up a point of a manifold and that of taking the connected sum of such with $\mathbb{CP}^n$ is explored. Hence, the problem of studying the Ricci flow of a $K3$ whose cobordism class is trivialised by the addition of $16$ copies of $\mathbb{CP}^2$ is tackled by applying both the techniques developed in the previous sections and the classification of singularities in terms of ADE groups., Comment: 52 pages, 2 figures

Abstract

In this work we derive a class of geometric flow equations for metric-scalar systems. Thereafter, we construct them from some general string frame action by performing volume-preserving fields variations and writing down the associated gradient flow equations. Then, we consider some specific realisations of the above procedure, applying the flow equations to non-trivial scalar bubble and metric bubble solutions, studying the subsequent flow behaviour., Comment: 51 pages, 10 figures

Abstract

Aim Anakinra, an anti IL-1 agent targeting IL-1 alfa and beta, is available for the treatment of recurrent pericarditis in cases with corticosteroid dependence and colchicine resistance after failure of conventional therapies. However, it is unclear if the combination with colchicine, a non-specific inhibitor of the inflammasome targeting the same inflammatory pathway of IL-1, could provide additional benefit to prevent further recurrences. The aim of the present observational study is to assess whether the addition of colchicine on top of anakinra could prolong the time to first recurrence and prevent recurrences better than anakinra alone.Methods International, all-comers, multicentre, retrospective observational cohort study analysing all consecutive patients treated with anakinra for corticosteroid-dependent and colchicine-resistant recurrent pericarditis. The efficacy endpoint was recurrence rate and the time to the first recurrence.Results A total of 256 patients (mean age 45.0±15.4 years, 65.6% females, 80.9% with idiopathic/viral aetiology) were included. 64 (25.0%) were treated with anakinra as monotherapy while 192 (75.0%) with both anakinra and colchicine. After a follow-up of 12 months, 56 (21.9%) patients had recurrences. Patients treated with colchicine added to anakinra had a lower incidence of recurrences (respectively, 18.8% vs 31.3%; p=0.036) and a longer event-free survival (p=0.025). In multivariable analysis, colchicine use prevented recurrences (HR 0.52, 95% CI 0.29 to 0.91; p=0.021).Conclusions The addition of colchicine on top of anakinra treatment could be helpful to reduce recurrences and prolong the recurrence-free survival.

21. Geometric flow equations for the number of space-time dimensions

Subjects
High Energy Physics - Theory, Mathematics - Differential Geometry
Abstract

In this paper we consider new geometric flow equations, called D-flow, which describe the variation of space-time geometries under the change of the number of dimensions. The D-flow is originating from the non-trivial dependence of the volume of space-time manifolds on the number of space-time dimensions and it is driven by certain curvature invariants. We will work out specific examples of D-flow equations and their solutions for the case of D-dimensional spheres and Freund-Rubin Compactification. The discussion of the paper is motivated from recent swampland considerations, where the number $D$ of space-time dimensions is treated as a new swampland parameter., Comment: 30 pages, 6 figures

Abstract

Background: Beef burgers are perishable meat products, and to extend their shelf life, EU Regulation 1129/11 permits the use of certain additives. Objectives: However, given the concerns of health-conscious consumers and the potential toxicity of synthetic substances, this study aimed to explore the use of fennel waste extracts as natural preservatives. Methods: This study characterized the bioactive compounds (phenolic content), the antioxidant activity (ABTS+ and DPPH assay), and the antimicrobial properties (against Salmonella enterica serotype Enteritidis, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereusi, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) of different fennel waste extracts (LF, liquid fraction; SF, solid fraction and PF, pellet fraction). Additionally, the potential use of the best fennel extract was evaluated for its impact on beef burger shelf life (up to 18 days at 4 ± 1 °C) in terms of microbiological profile, pH, and activity water (aw). Results: The PF extract, which was rich in flavones, hydroxybenzoic, and hydroxycinnamic acids, demonstrated the highest antioxidant and antimicrobial activities. Microbiological analyses on beef burgers with PF identified this extract as a potential antimicrobial substance. The aw and pH values did not appear to be affected. Conclusions: In conclusion, fennel extracts could be proposed as natural compounds exploitable in beef burgers to preserve their quality and extend their shelf-life.

23. Geometric Flow Equations for Schwarzschild-AdS Space-time and Hawking-Page Phase Transition

High Energy Physics - Theory, General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology
Abstract

Following the recent observation that the Ricci flow and the infinite distance swampland conjecture are closely related to each other, we will investigate in this paper geometric flow equations for AdS space-time geometries. First, we consider the so called Yamabe and Ricci-Bourguignon flows and we show that these two flows - in contrast to the Ricci flow - lead to infinite distance fixed points for product spaces like $AdS_d\times S^p$, where $AdS_d$ denotes d-dimensional AdS space and $S^p$ corresponds to a p-dimensional sphere. Second, we consider black hole geometries in AdS space time geometries and their behaviour under the Yamabe and Ricci-Bourguignon flows. Specifically we will examine if and how the AdS black holes will undergo a Hawking-Page phase transition under the Ricci flow, the Yamabe flow and under the general Ricci-Bourguignon flow., Comment: 35 pages, one additional reference in revised version

Abstract

Abstract The cytoplasmic tail of Notch ligands drives endocytosis, mediates association with proteins implicated in the organization of cell-cell junctions and, through regulated intra-membrane proteolysis, is released from the membrane as a signaling fragment. We survey these findings and discuss the role of Notch ligands intracellular region in bidirectional signaling and possibly in signal modulation in mammals.

Abstract

Congenital arhinia and hyporhinia are rare facial anomalies whose knowledge usually comes from case reports. The severity of each case described in literature is variable; it also depends on associated malformations too. Since the newborns are obligate nasal breathers, babies with arhinia or hyporhinia usually have respiratory distress and need airway stabilization. In addition, most of these children present difficulties in feeding and this impairment must be managed early. We describe an unusual case of partial congenital arhinia, the baby did not have other anomalies or any specific complication such as respiratory and feeding issues, so the major problem was the aesthetic and psychological issues for the family. Even if the neonatal course was uncomplicated, a coordinated approach of the pediatrician with the pediatric otolaryngologist, the geneticists and the neurosurgeons was necessary because the management of these malformations is always very complex; due to the lack of reports described in literature, an univocal management and also the best timing and technique for reconstructive surgery are still not defined.

Abstract

Introduction:Solanum aethiopicum L., commonly known as scarlet eggplant (Solanaceae family) is one of the most traditionally cultivated vegetables in Basilicata, a southern region of Italy. Although multiple uses have been given to this vegetable, data about its anti-obesogenic activity are still limited.Methods: This study focuses on testing two different extracts obtained either from the peel or from the whole fruit of the Lucanian Solanum aethiopicum. Their ability to inhibit certain enzymatic activities was tested in vitro and then, the one that showed the better outcomes was tested on an experimental model of High-Fat Diet (HFD) induced obesity.Results: Spectrophotometric assays demonstrated that the peel extract possessed the highest ability to inhibit the selected enzymatic activities and so, its phytochemical profile was obtained through LC-MS chromatography. The oral administration of this extract (25 mg/kg) to HFD-fed mice reduced body weight gain and improved glucose and lipid metabolism. Similarly, the extract ameliorated the obesity-induced inflammatory status by reducing the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines in both adipose and hepatic tissues. Interestingly, these effects were associated with the improvement of vascular dysfunction.Discussion: Lucanian Solanum aethiopicum extract may represent a new strategic approach for managing obesity and its associated diseases.

33. A QUIC Implementation for ns-3

Author

Abstract

Quick UDP Internet Connections (QUIC) is a recently proposed transport protocol, currently being standardized by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). It aims at overcoming some of the shortcomings of TCP, while maintaining the logic related to flow and congestion control, retransmissions and acknowledgments. It supports multiplexing of multiple application layer streams in the same connection, a more refined selective acknowledgment scheme, and low-latency connection establishment. It also integrates cryptographic functionalities in the protocol design. Moreover, QUIC is deployed at the application layer, and encapsulates its packets in UDP datagrams. Given the widespread interest in the new QUIC features, we believe that it is important to provide to the networking community an implementation in a controllable and isolated environment, i.e., a network simulator such as ns-3, in which it is possible to test QUIC's performance and understand design choices and possible limitations. Therefore, in this paper we present a native implementation of QUIC for ns-3, describing the features we implemented, the main assumptions and differences with respect to the QUIC Internet Drafts, and a set of examples., Comment: 8 pages, 4 figures.

Abstract

Congenital arhinia and hyporhinia are rare facial anomalies whose knowledge usually comes from case reports. The severity of each case described in literature is variable; it also depends on associated malformations too. Since the newborns are obligate nasal breathers, babies with arhinia or hyporhinia usually have respiratory distress and need airway stabilization. In addition, most of these children present difficulties in feeding and this impairment must be managed early. We describe an unusual case of partial congenital arhinia, the baby did not have other anomalies or any specific complication such as respiratory and feeding issues, so the major problem was the aesthetic and psychological issues for the family. Even if the neonatal course was uncomplicated, a coordinated approach of the pediatrician with the pediatric otolaryngologist, the geneticists and the neurosurgeons was necessary because the management of these malformations is always very complex; due to the lack of reports described in literature, an univocal management and also the best timing and technique for reconstructive surgery are still not defined.

Abstract

The increasing volume of end‐of‐life (EoL) photovoltaic (PV) modules poses a significant challenge, necessitating efficient and sustainable recycling processes. In the PVReValue project, it is aimed to develop a comprehensive methodology for the systematic separation and recycling of EoL PV modules. Central to this effort is the precise determination of layer thicknesses, critical for effective characterization, and separation of input material. In this study, a comparative analysis of various industrial‐applicable methods is conducted for measuring layer thicknesses in PV modules. Both destructive and nondestructive techniques are evaluated based on criteria such as time, cost, accuracy, and applicability. Methods such as optical coherence tomography (OCT), coaxial multicolor confocal measurement, and ultrasonic measurements are assessed alongside traditional approaches like calotte grinding and optical 3D microscopy. In these findings, it is indicated that while OCT and confocal measurement offer high accuracy and nondestructiveness, they are complex and costly. Conversely, calotte grinding, although less costly, provides only localized information and can be challenging for polymers. In this study, it is concluded with recommendations for the possible integration of these methods into an industrial recycling workflow, highlighting the potential for improving PV module recycling efficiency and sustainability.

Abstract

Obesity is widely associated with intestine barrier impairment, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) outbreaks, oxidative stress, and inflammation. In a previous investigation, the Solanum aethiopicum L. growing in Basilicata Region has demonstrated to have antioxidant activity; hence this investigation was aimed to evaluate for the first time the antilipidemic and anti-inflammatory activity of the Lucanian S. aethiopicum L. peel extract in vitro on OA-treated HepG2 and Caco-2 cell lines. It was shown that the extract could reduce lipogenesis by down-regulating SREBP-1c and HMGCR expression and fatty acid β-oxidation by up-regulating PPARα, CPT1A, and UCP2 expression. In addition, the S. aethiopicum L. peel extract might also improve oxidative stress by reducing endoplasmic reticulum stress and regulating the Nrf2 and Nf-κB molecular pathways. Altogether, these results demonstrated for the first time the possible application of the Lucanian S. aethiopicum peel extract for preventing obesity and managing NAFLD.
