Pulmonary epithelioid haemangioendothelioma (PEH) is a rare vascular neoplasm. The thoracic manifestation of this disorder is identified via three major imaging patterns, namely multiple primary nodules, diffuse infiltrative pleural thickening, and multiple pulmonary reticulonodular opacities. The commonest pattern of presentation is bilateral multiple nodules. Diagnosis is based on histopathological findings and verified by positive immunochemistry staining. Patients with PEH are usually asymptomatic. We report the case of a 51-year-old female who presented to our facility with a five-month history of cough, pleural nodularity, and pleural effusion. She underwent surgical washout with right pleural biopsies that showed a malignant epithelioid tumor with features of epithelioid haemangioendothelioma (EH). A CXR after treatment did not demonstrate a residual pleural effusion.

This essay looks at the form of the early Torah scroll as found in the Cairo Genizah Collection by re-ex-amining the scroll originally described by Colette Sirat, Michèle Dukan and Ada Yardeni in the late 1980s as potentially the earliest to be found there. This scroll, com-posed of two fragments from the book of Genesis, T-S NS 3.21 and T-S NS 4.3 from Cambridge University Library, has been dated between the fifth and eighth centuries CE. Whether it had originally only held Genesis, or once had been a complete scroll of the Pentateuch, was unclear, but interest was generated by a number of what were assumed to be early and non-standard features in it, in particular a non-masoretic section division before Gen 17,1. The current essay presents a substantial new piece from the same scroll, this time from the book of Exodus, which was recently discovered in the library of the Jewish Theologi-cal Seminary, New York (ENA 4107.20). The essay looks at the new text, which covers chapters 5 to 7 of Exodus and includes several textual variants. In particular, it re-exam-ines the question of the non-masoretic section division in the light of numerous section divisions preserved in the new fragment, and concludes that this early scroll is in fact wholly consistent with later masoretic practice.

Optimal auction design is a fundamental problem in algorithmic game theory. This problem is notoriously difficult already in very simple settings. Recent work in differentiable economics showed that neural networks can efficiently learn known optimal auction mechanisms and discover interesting new ones. In an attempt to theoretically justify their empirical success, we focus on one of the first such networks, RochetNet, and a generalized version for affine maximizer auctions. We prove that they satisfy mode connectivity, i.e., locally optimal solutions are connected by a simple, piecewise linear path such that every solution on the path is almost as good as one of the two local optima. Mode connectivity has been recently investigated as an intriguing empirical and theoretically justifiable property of neural networks used for prediction problems. Our results give the first such analysis in the context of differentiable economics, where neural networks are used directly for solving non-convex optimization problems.

Dating: This document, part of which is missing on the left side, is dated 20 Rabī' 1, regnal year 4. The reign is that of Aurangzeb, the equivalent to the given regnal year being 1071-72 (1661-62 CE), thus the corresponding date should be 13 November 1661 CE. A seal on the verso gives the date 22 Rabī' II, regnal year 4. Moreover, the fifth Turkish month of Puli 'il (لوی ایل or پولی ایل) is given, indicating that ʽAbd al-ʽAzīz was to take possession in the year immediately following. Summary: The document assigns 75 bīghā (بیگھا) of land excluded from government revenue to Ḥāfiẓ ʽAbd al-ʽAzīz as financial aid in the form of madad-i ma'āsh in parganāh (name uncertain) which shall be reckoned from Kharīf in the Turkish month of Puli 'il. Hence, the granted land should be measured and given to the beneficiary. The income from the land should be utilised for his livelihood and he should be engaged in offering prayers for the perpetuity of the eternal empire. Written on 20 Rabīʿ I, regnal year 4. EAP1416-45 recto : الأرشيف ١٤١٦-٤٥ Facsimile of a document pertaining to a grant of financial aid in the form of madad-i ma'āsh at or near Dhār. نسخة قديمة : بمكتبة مختار أحمد خان
