description: The assumption that vector mortality remains constant with age is used widely to assess malaria transmission risk and predict the public health consequences of vector control strategies. However, laboratory studies commonly demonstrate clear evidence of senescence, or a decrease in physiological function and increase in vector mortality rate with age. We developed methods to integrate available field data to understand mortality in wild Anopheles gambiae, the most import vector of malaria in sub-Saharan Africa. We found evidence for an increase in rates of mortality with age, a component of senescence. As expected, we also found that overall mortality is far greater in wild cohorts than commonly observed under protected laboratory conditions. The magnitude of senescence increases with An. gambiae lifespan, implying that wild mosquitoes die long before cohorts can exhibit strong senescence. We reviewed available published mortality studies of Anopheles spp. to confirm this fundamental prediction of aging in wild populations. Senescence becomes most apparent in long-living mosquito cohorts, and cohorts with low extrinsic mortality, such as those raised under protected laboratory conditions, suffer a relatively high proportion of senescent deaths. Imprecision in estimates of vector mortality and changes in mortality with age will severely bias models of vector borne disease transmission risk, such as malaria, and the sensitivity of transmission to bias increases as the extrinsic incubation period of the parasite decreases. While we focus here on malaria, we caution that future models for anti-vectorial interventions must therefore incorporate both realistic mortality rates and age-dependent changes in vector mortality.

Conditional Encryption with Applications to Secure Personalized Password Typo Correction

Subjects: subject: Cryptography and Security (cs.CR)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: We introduce the notion of a conditional encryption scheme as an extension of public key encryption. In addition to the standard public key algorithms ($\mathsf{KG}$, $\mathsf{Enc}$, $\mathsf{Dec}$) for key generation, encryption and decryption, a conditional encryption scheme for a binary predicate $P$ adds a new conditional encryption algorithm $\mathsf{CEnc}$. The conditional encryption algorithm $c=\mathsf{CEnc}_{pk}(c_1,m_2,m_3)$ takes as input the public encryption key $pk$, a ciphertext $c_1 = \mathsf{Enc}_{pk}(m_1)$ for an unknown message $m_1$, a control message $m_2$ and a payload message $m_3$ and outputs a conditional ciphertext $c$. Intuitively, if $P(m_1,m_2)=1$ then the conditional ciphertext $c$ should decrypt to the payload message $m_3$. On the other hand if $P(m_1,m_2) = 0$ then the ciphertext should not leak any information about the control message $m_2$ or the payload message $m_3$ even if the attacker already has the secret decryption key $sk$. We formalize the notion of conditional encryption secrecy and provide concretely efficient constructions for a set of predicates relevant to password typo correction. Our practical constructions utilize the Paillier partially homomorphic encryption scheme as well as Shamir Secret Sharing. We prove that our constructions are secure and demonstrate how to use conditional encryption to improve the security of personalized password typo correction systems such as TypTop. We implement a C++ library for our practically efficient conditional encryption schemes and evaluate the performance empirically. We also update the implementation of TypTop to utilize conditional encryption for enhanced security guarantees and evaluate the performance of the updated implementation.

description: In this paper we present a novel rule-based approach for Runtime Verification of FLTL properties over finite but expanding traces. Our system exploits Horn clauses in implication form and relies on a forward chaining-based monitoring algorithm. This approach avoids the branching structure and exponential complexity typical of tableaux-based formulations, creating monitors with a single state and a fixed number of rules. This allows for a fast and scalable tool for Runtime Verification: we present the technical details together with a working implementation.

description: One of the most efficient methods of exploiting space diversity for portable wireless devices is cooperative communication utilizing space-time block codes. In cooperative communication, users besides communicating their own information, also relay the information of other users. In this paper we investigate a scheme where cooperation is achieved using two methods, namely, distributed space-time coding and network coding. Two cooperating users utilize Alamouti space time code for inter-user cooperation and in addition utilize a third relay which performs network coding. The third relay does not have any of its information to be sent. In this paper we propose a scheme utilizing convolutional code based network coding, instead of conventional XOR based network code and utilize iterative joint network-channel decoder for efficient decoding. Extrinsic information transfer (EXIT) chart analysis is performed to investigate the convergence property of the proposed decoder.

description: Epigenetics has captured the attention of scientists in the past decades, yet its scope has been continuously changing. In this paper, we give an overview on how and why its definition has evolved and suggest several clarification on the concepts used in this field, in particular, on the notions of epigenetic information, epigenetic stability and epigenetic templating. Another issue that we address is the role of epigenetic information. Not only it is important in allowing alternative interpretations of genetic information, but it appears to be important in protecting the genetic information, moreover, we suggest that this function appeared first in evolution and only later on the epigenetic mechanisms were recruited to play a role in cell differentiation.

A cocreational approach to nation branding: The case of Chile
Creators: name: Miño, Pablo

Publisher: name: SAGE Publications
Year: 2022

description: This case study examines Marca Chile’s nation branding campaign “Chile Que te Quiero” (Chile, I Really Love You). The campaign, that ran between 2016 and 2018, aimed to facilitate dialogue among Chileans around their shared national symbols, traditions, and cultural artifacts to cocreate meaning around their nation brand. In this article, we propose that professionals working in nation branding campaigns should act as facilitators of dialogue among different publics within a country to find points of convergence and divergence around what constitutes the identity of their nation. The key role of dialogue and cocreation of meaning within public relations scholarship is explored.

description: A short inflationary phase may not erase all traces of the primordial universe. Associated observables include both spatial curvature and "anomalies" in the microwave background or large scale structure. The present curvature $Ω_{K,0}$ reflects the initial curvature, $Ω_{K,\mathrm{start}}$, and the angular size of anomalies depends on $k_\mathrm{start}$, the comoving horizon size at the onset of inflation. We estimate posteriors for $Ω_{K,\mathrm{start}}$ and $k_\mathrm{start}$ using current data and simulations, and show that if either quantity is measured to have a non-zero value, both are likely to be observable. Mappings from $Ω_{K,\mathrm{start}}$ and $k_\mathrm{start}$ to present-day observables depend strongly on the primordial equation of state; $Ω_{K,0}$ spans ten orders of magnitude for a given $Ω_{K,\mathrm{start}}$ while a simple and general relationship connects $Ω_{K,0}$ and $k_\mathrm{start}$. We show that current bounds on $Ω_{K,0}$ imply that if $k_\mathrm{start}$ is measurable, the curvature was already small when inflation began. Finally, since the energy density changes slowly during inflation, primordial gravitational wave constraints require that a short inflationary phase is preceded by a nontrivial pre-inflationary phase with critical implications for the expected value of $Ω_{K,\mathrm{start}}$.

description: The quality of audio recordings in outdoor environments is often degraded by the presence of wind. Mitigating the impact of wind noise on the perceptual quality of single-channel speech remains a significant challenge due to its non-stationary characteristics. Prior work in noise suppression treats wind noise as a general background noise without explicit modeling of its characteristics. In this paper, we leverage ultrasound as an auxiliary modality to explicitly sense the airflow and characterize the wind noise. We propose a multi-modal deep-learning framework to fuse the ultrasonic Doppler features and speech signals for wind noise reduction. Our results show that DeWinder can significantly improve the noise reduction capabilities of state-of-the-art speech enhancement models.

description: With the growing use of mobile devices and multitasking while viewing content on the primary screen—especially among the younger Millennial, Generation Z, and younger generations—the second screen behaviors of sports broadcast audiences have become a focus for sports marketing researchers and professionals. Posting in real-time on Twitter in tandem with live broadcasts has become a leading strategy for sports teams in reaching their active and engaged second-screen audience and driving further engagement and affinity for the team. This study analyzed the real-time, live game tweets of several professional sports teams on Twitter to determine which types of real-time content perform best with the second screen sports fan audience and how this audience most often engages with it. Additionally, the results of this study advised a best practices guide for sports marketing and social media professionals working with sports teams who tweet in real-time to reach their second-screen fans during a live game broadcast.

description: Background The use of marijuana (MJ), combustible cigarettes (hereafter cigarettes), and electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) is widespread among United States (US) adults and linked to worsening respiratory symptoms, especially among adults with asthma. This study examined state-specific prevalence and factors associated with MJ, ENDS, and cigarette use among US adults with asthma. Methods We analyzed data of 41 974 adults aged ≥18 years having self-reported current asthma from the 2018 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS). We reported weighted prevalence to account for complex survey design and performed multivariable logistic regression models to examine factors associated with current use of MJ, ENDS, and cigarettes. Results Overall prevalence of current MJ, ENDS, and cigarette use among adults with asthma was 14.5%, 6.6%, and 27.2%, respectively. Our results showed the US states and territories with highest and lowest use prevalence for MJ (California: 23.6% vs Guam: 3.2%), ENDS (Indiana: 12.8% vs North Dakota: 4.0%), and cigarettes (West Virginia: 42.1% vs Guam: 12.3%). Both MJ and ENDS users were more likely to be male, younger, and live in an urban area, but MJ users were more likely and ENDS users less likely to be Non-Hispanic (NH) American Indian/Alaskan Native. Cigarette users were more likely to be older, have at least 1 health condition, and were less likely to be NH Black or Hispanic and college-educated. Conclusion Many US adults with asthma use MJ, ENDS, and cigarettes. Our findings provide insights for clinicians about the urgent need for effective interventions to reduce tobacco and MJ use among adults with asthma.

description: Driven by the ever-growing diversity of software and hardware agents available on the market, Internet-of-Things (IoT) systems, functioning as heterogeneous multi-agent systems (MASs), are increasingly required to provide a level of reliability and fault tolerance. In this paper, we develop an approach to generalized quantifiable modeling of fault-tolerant and reliable MAS. We propose a novel software architectural model, the Intelligence Transfer Model (ITM), by which intelligence can be transferred between agents in a heterogeneous MAS. In the ITM, we propose a novel mechanism, the latent acceptable state, which enables it to achieve improved levels of fault tolerance and reliability in task-based redundancy systems, as used in the ITM, in comparison with existing agent-based redundancy approaches. We demonstrate these improvements through experimental testing of the ITM using an open-source candidate implementation of the model, developed in Python, and through an open-source simulator that tested the behavior of ITM-based MASs at scale. The results of these experiments demonstrated improvements in fault tolerance and reliability across all MAS configurations we tested. Fault tolerance was observed to improve by a factor of between 1.27 and 6.34 in comparison with the control group, depending on the ITM configuration tested. Similarly, reliability was observed to improve by a factor of between 1.00 and 4.73. Our proposed model has broad applicability to various IoT applications and generally in MASs that have fault tolerance or reliability requirements, such as in cloud computing and autonomous vehicles.

description: Polarons can control carrier mobility and can also be used in the design of quantum devices. Although much effort has been directed into investigating the nature of polarons, observation of defect-related polarons is challenging due to electron-defect scattering. Here we explore the polaronic behavior of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in a diamond crystal using an ultrafast pump-probe technique. A 10-fs optical pulse acts as a source of high electric field exceeding the dielectric breakdown threshold, in turn exerting a force on the NV charge distribution and polar optical phonons. The electronic and phononic responses are enhanced by an order of magnitude for a low density of NV centers, which we attribute to a combination of cooperative polaronic effects and scattering by defects. First-principles calculations support the presence of dipolar Fröhlich interaction via non-zero Born effective charges. Our findings provide insights into the physics of color centers in diamonds.

description: This NISO Plus 2023 talk addresses various issues around the fragmentation of the current persistent identifier landscape as identified in the course of the study on PIDs commissioned by the Knowledge Exchange. The seven case studies produced in the course of this work are presented showing the various types of PIDs addressed in each of them. Three different aspects are then examined under the common theme of PID landscape fragmentation: the dichotomy between 'technical' and 'admin-oriented' PIDs, the coexistence of competing technical solutions for specific PIDs and the ambiguous concept of 'community' in the expression "community-driven PID". Two main recommendations are finally provided to address the current fragmentation in the PID landscape.

description: We offer a new explanation for why taxes have become less redistributive in many countries in parallel with an increase in income concentration. When performance-based contracts are needed to incentivize effort, redistribution through progressive income taxes becomes less precisely targeted. Taxation reduces after-tax income inequality but undermines performance-based contracts, lowering effort and raising pre-tax income differentials. Product market integration can widen the spread of project returns and make contract choices more responsive to changes in the level of taxation, resulting in a lower optimal income tax rate even when individuals are not inter-jurisdictionally mobile.

description: Thermo-erosional river bank undercutting is caused by the combined action of thermal and mechanical erosion of the permafrost by Arctic rivers whilst the overlying sediment withstands collapse temporarily. Here, we report the discovery of a large thermo-erosional tunnel that formed in the banks of a meltwater-fed stream in northeast Greenland in summer 2015. The tunnel was observed over eight days, during which period the tunnel remained open but bank-side slumping increased. Stream solute load increased immediately downstream and remained high 800 m from the tunnel. Whilst this field observation was opportunistic and information somewhat limited, our study provides a rare insight into an extreme event impacting permafrost, local geomorphology and stream habitat. With accelerated climate change in Arctic regions, increased permafrost degradation and warmer stream water temperature are predicted thereby enhancing potential for thermo-erosional niche development and associated stream bank slumping. This change could have significant implications for stream physicochemical habitat and, in turn, stream benthic communities, through changes in aquatic habitat conditions.

We present the complete results from the first of six fields (FUDS0). This observation of 95 hours allowed us to achieve a high sensitivity ($\sim 50~μ$Jy beam$^{-1}$) and a high frequency resolution (22.9 kHz) over an area of 0.72 deg$^2$. We detected 128 galaxies in HI distributed over the redshift range of $0 0.38$, where no unlensed HI emission has previously been directly detected. Estimates of completeness and reliability are presented for the catalog. Consistency of continuum and HI flux estimates with NVSS and AUDS, respectively, confirms the accuracy of calibration method and data reduction pipeline developed for the full FUDS survey.

description: The purpose of this project is to create a web-based toolkit for higher education institutions to get the most out of their YouTube channels, using scholarly research and the most up-to-date data on YouTube. It includes a best practices guide, templates for YouTube thumbnails, templates for titles and descriptions, and a template for a YouTube channel page layout. To find this information, I used scholarly articles cited in the literature review, as well as YouTube expertise directly from YouTube and from YouTube experts. I also gathered data from other higher education institutions who are using YouTube. I discovered that many higher education institutions are not using YouTube to its maximum potential. Some simple improvements on those channels can make a difference in how those channels perform on YouTube. Optimal video length is argued among marketing professionals in higher education regularly, and my data showed that there isn’t one straightforward answer, but that several lengths can work.

description: We present $^{75}$As nuclear magnetic resonance spin-lattice and spin-spin relaxation rate data in Ba(Fe$_{1-x}$Co$_x$)$_2$As$_2$ and Ba(Fe$_{1-x}$Cu$_x$)$_2$As$_2$ as a function of temperature, doping and magnetic field. The relaxation curves exhibit a broad distribution of relaxation rates, consistent with inhomogeneous glassy behavior up to 100 K. The doping and temperature response of the width of the dynamical heterogeneity is similar to that of the nematic susceptibility measured by elastoresistance measurements. We argue that quenched random fields which couple to the nematic order give rise to a nematic glass that is reflected in the spin dynamics.

description: Driven by potential exponential speedups in business, security, and scientific scenarios, interest in quantum computing is surging. This interest feeds the development of quantum computing hardware, but several challenges arise in optimizing application performance for hardware metrics (e.g., qubit coherence and gate fidelity). In this work, we describe a visual analytics approach for analyzing the performance properties of quantum devices and quantum circuit optimization. Our approach allows users to explore spatial and temporal patterns in quantum device performance data and it computes similarities and variances in key performance metrics. Detailed analysis of the error properties characterizing individual qubits is also supported. We also describe a method for visualizing the optimization of quantum circuits. The resulting visualization tool allows researchers to design more efficient quantum algorithms and applications by increasing the interpretability of quantum computations.

description: Ice cores are archives of climate change and possibly large solar proton events (SPEs). Wolff et al. (2012) used a single event, a nitrate peak in the GISP2-H core, which McCracken et al. (2001a) time associated with the poorly quantified 1859 Carrington event, to discredit SPE-produced, impulsive nitrate deposition in polar ice. This is not the ideal test case. We critique the Wolff et al. analysis and demonstrate that the data they used cannot detect impulsive nitrate events because of resolution limitations. We suggest re-examination of the top of the Greenland ice sheet at key intervals over the last two millennia with attention to fine resolution and replicate sampling of multiple species. This will allow further insight into polar depositional processes on a sub-seasonal scale, including atmospheric sources, transport mechanisms to the ice sheet, post-depositional interactions, and a potential SPE association.

description: Modern public transit systems are often run with automated fare collection (AFC) systems in combination with smart cards. These systems passively collect massive amounts of detailed spatio-temporal trip data, thus opening up new possibilities for public transit planning and management as well as providing new insights for urban planners. We use smart card trip data from Taipei, Taiwan, to perform an in-depth analysis of spatio-temporal station-to-station metro trip patterns for a whole week divided into several time slices. Based on simple linear regression and line graphs, days of the week and times of the day with similar temporal passenger flow patterns are identified. We visualize magnitudes of passenger flow based on actual geography. By comparing flows for January to March 2019 and for January to March 2020, we look at changes in metro trips under the impact of the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) that caused a state of emergency around the globe in 2020. Our results show that metro usage under the impact of COVID-19 has not declined uniformly, but instead is both spatially and temporally highly heterogeneous.

Martingale estimation functions for Bessel processes

description: In this paper we derive martingale estimating functions for the dimensionality parameter of a Bessel process based on the eigenfunctions of the diffusion operator. Since a Bessel process is non-ergodic and the theory of martingale estimating functions is developed for ergodic diffusions, we use the space-time transformation of the Bessel process and formulate our results for a modified Bessel process. We deduce consistency, asymptotic normality and discuss optimality. It turns out that the martingale estimating function based of the first eigenfunction of the modified Bessel process coincides with the linear martingale estimating function for the Cox Ingersoll Ross process. Furthermore, our results may also be applied to estimating the multiplicity parameter of a one-dimensional Dunkl process and some related polynomial processes.

description: Virasoro irregular conformal block with arbitrary rank is obtained for the classical limit or equivalently Nekrasov-Shatashvili limit using the beta-deformed irregular matrix model (Penner-type matrix model for the irregular conformal block). The same result is derived using the generalized Mathieu equation which is equivalent to the loop equation of the irregular matrix model.

College dropouts--Prevention

description: Through interviews with current first-generation students and support staff, this study aimed to learn what form and content a new peer-to-peer communications initiative should contain when focused on retaining first-generation students. These interviews revealed the essential information gaps that first-generation students are missing, the preferred delivery format (such as videos or written blogs and who produces or publishes them), and the timing of messages. The results of these interviews — combined with industry best practices — informed a best practices guide for post-secondary institutions to use as they implement or modify institutional communications initiatives to improve first-generation students’ retention and persistence.

Giving It All Away: Are The Ways In Which Journalists Reveal Personal Information on Twitter Affecting Perceptions of Their Work?

Journalists--Public opinion

description: For “mainstream” news reporters - those who are expected to keep their journalistic work product free of the interjection of personal opinion - there is the possibility that even a longtime reader suddenly made aware of some details of a journalist’s personal life, views or associations could view that reporter, his or her work, and potentially even media organization differently. Does that information change how we view them and their coverage? Has the use of platforms like Twitter made reporters appear less objective, changing public perception of whether reporters are or are not exhibiting bias due to their own personal beliefs and convictions? This research will explore this intersection of news coverage and the mindsets of 3  individual reporters, examining the influence of knowledge of a reporter’s personal details on a reader’s perceptions of the same reporter’s coverage.
Stiffness tailoring in sinusoidal lattice structures through passive topology morphing using contact connections

description: Structures with adaptive stiffness characteristics present an opportunity to meet competing design requirements, thus achieving greater efficiency by the reconfiguration of their topology. Here, the potential of using changes in the topology of planar lattice structures is explored to achieve this desired adaptivity and observe that lattice structures with rectangle-like unit-cells may undergo elastic buckling or bending of cell walls when subject to longitudinal compression. Under sufficient load intensity, cell walls can deform and contact neighbouring cells. This self-contact is harnessed to change the topology of the structure to that of a kagome-like lattice, thereby establishing new load paths, thus enabling enhancement, in a tailored manner, of the effective compressive and shear stiffness of the lattice. Whilst this phenomenon is independent of characteristic length scale, we focus on macroscopic behaviour (lattices of scale ≈ 200 mm). Experimentally observed responses of 3D-printed lattices correlate excellently with finite element analysis and analytical stiffness predictions for pre- and post-contact topologies. The role of key geometric and stiffness parameters in critical regions of the design space is explored through a parametric study. The non-linear responses demonstrated by this topology morphing lattice structure may offer designers a new route to tailor elastic characteristics.

description: We amend the incorrect discussion in Nucl. Phys. B 886 (2014) 569 [1] concerning the numerical examples considered there. In particular, we discuss the viability of minimal radiative models of Resonant Leptogenesis and prove that no asymmetry can be generated at $\mathcal{O}(h^4)$ in these scenarios. We present a minimal modification of the model considered in [1], where electroweak-scale right-handed Majorana neutrinos can easily accommodate both successful leptogenesis and observable signatures at Lepton Number and Flavour Violation experiments. The importance of the fully flavour-covariant rate equations, as developed in [1], for describing accurately the generation of the lepton asymmetry is reconfirmed.
