Cherenkov Telescope Array

description: The CTA Simulation Production Pipeline (SimPipe) is the system responsible for simulating the response of CTAO telescopes and modeling the relevant air shower physics and atmospheric conditions. It comprises several simulation software packages, a model of all components relevant to the measurement process, and tools for deriving and validating these model parameters. The simulation model encompasses hundreds of parameters that vary on different time scales, ranging from minutes to years. We present the progress made in the development of CTA SimPipe as a collection of FAIR Digital Research products. This collection includes containerized software, pre-defined workflows in CWL, input/output definitions, model parameter definitions following fixed schemas, and metadata definitions in accordance with community standards.

description: The sustainable development goal (SDG) for health is linked to 67 indicators, eight times more
than their predecessor, the Millenium Development Goals. In many low- and middle-income countries
(LMICs), the information infrastructure is not yet able to collect and use the data needed for
the indicators. As they seek to be responsive to the SDG agenda, LMICs must not lose sight of their
local data needs; they should be cautious about embracing untested electronic technologies for
data collection, analysis, and use; carefully balance the care provision and data collection responsibilities
of care providers; and use evidence of what works in strengthening their health information
systems (HIS). While attending to these concerns, countries can look for instances in which SDG indicators
are in sync with their own HIS goals.

description: Radiative heat transport between materials supporting surface-phonon polaritons is greatly enhanced when the materials are placed at sub-wavelength separation as a result of the contribution of near-field surface modes. However, the enhancement is limited to small separations due to the evanescent decay of the surface waves. In this work, we propose and numerically demonstrate an active scheme to extract these modes to the far-field. Our approach exploits the monochromatic nature of near-field thermal radiation to drive a transition in a laser gain medium, which, when coupled with external optical pumping, allows the resonant surface mode to be emitted into the far-field. Our study demonstrates a new approach to manipulate thermal radiation that could find applications in thermal management.

description: We conducted a separate female fertility experiment utilizing sibling crosses and compared the average hatching number for each experimental grouping with our outcrossed fertility experiment described in the main text. Inbreeding reduced hatching number in all crosses except for the matched control lines reared at 15°C, which increased. For the mitonuclear hybrid lines, inbred crosses experienced a 12.5 – 57.65% reduction in hatching number compared to outbred crosses suggesting the impact of male quality on female fitness.

description: Puccinia striiformis Westend. f. sp. tritici Eriks. is the causal agent of wheat stripe rust, causes serious disease in wheat in many cool and temperate regions of the world. China has the largest epidemic region in the world, and the disease has always been a major constraint for wheat production. The most destructive epidemics that occurred in 1950, 1964, 1990, and 2002 caused yield losses up to 6.0, 3.2, 1.8, and 1.3 million metric tons, respectively, in China, and seven nationwide cultivar replacements have taken place in China since the 1950s due to repeated appearances of new virulent races. Puccinia striiformis is an obligate biotrophic fungal pathogen, and has a complex life cycle that includes five spore stages and two very different hosts, recently it was found to be full lifecycle of rust with berberis spp. as alternate host in western mountainous area of China.

description: Purpose—Hepatitis C virus (HCV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) coinfection is an
important and frequent scenario, predominantly in injecting drug users (IDUs). The present study
evaluated morbidity and mortality variation in HIV infected patients with and without HCV
coinfection.
Methods—Coinfection prevalence was determined in 356 HIV infected persons. Their clinical
manifestations, laboratory findings, risk factors, HIV therapies and mortality rates were evaluated.
Results—HCV prevalence was 54% in the overall group and 81% in IDUs, with predominance
of HCV genotype 1. Mortality rates were similar in patients with and without coinfection;
however coinfected patients had significantly higher liver damage as a cause of mortality when
compared with those who were not coinfected.
Conclusions—The high HCV prevalence and the emerging mortality from liver diseases,
revealed the significance of this coinfection in HIV epidemic. Primary and secondary prevention
are necessary to reduce the expanding impact of HCV infection in HIV patients.

description: Context: If men and women engage in different sexual behavior with main partners than with
other types of partners, then programs aimed at preventing the spread of sexually transmitted
diseases (STDs) may need to address individuals’ differential risk with each partner type.
Methods: Relationship characteristics, partner risk behaviors and sexual behaviors are examined
among 123 male and 106 female STD clinic patients who had both main and other partners.
Individual-level comparisons are made for two types of partner pairs: main vs. other frequent
(side) partners and main vs. casual partners.
Results: Among men and women with both main and side partners, the proportion who had
known only their main partner for at least a year (48% of men and 41% of women) was significantly
higher than the proportion who had known only their side partner for that long (2% and
9%, respectively); no other variable differed significantly by partner type. Among those with main
and casual partners, both men and women were more likely to use alcohol or drugs before or
during sex with main partners only (15%) than with casual partners only (1–3%). Women with
main and casual partners were more likely to have oral sex only with main partners than only
with casual partners (37% vs. 3%), and were more likely to use condoms only with casual partners
than only with main partners (33% vs. 4%).
Conclusions: Providers need to ask individuals about their sexual behaviors with different partner
types, and should tailor prevention messages to an individual’s risks and reproductive intentions
with each partner.

description: This paper considers a scenario of short-range communication, known as device-to-device (D2D) communication, where D2D users reuse the downlink resources of a cellular network to transmit directly to their corresponding receivers. In addition, multiple antennas at the base station (BS) are used in order to simultaneously support multiple cellular users using multiuser or massive MIMO. The network model considers a fixed number of cellular users and that D2D users are distributed according to a homogeneous Poisson point process (PPP). Two metrics are studied, namely, average sum rate (ASR) and energy efficiency (EE). We derive tractable expressions and study the tradeoffs between the ASR and EE as functions of the number of BS antennas and density of D2D users for a given coverage area.

The Effect of Grid Resolution on the Global Mortality Burden of Fine Particulate Matter and Ozone
Creators: name: Xu,Ruozhang
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: Coarse resolution models are sometimes needed to simulate air pollution-related deaths in policy scenarios, but do not resolve human exposure well. We quantify the effect of grid resolution on global premature mortality estimates attributable to ozone (O3) and fine particulate matter (PM2.5), by comparing model simulations at fine (0.125°x0.125°) and coarse resolution (2.5°x 2°).
We estimate a global burden of 3.8 (95% CI: 2.3, 5.3) million deaths per year for PM2.5 and 0.68 (0.41, 0.92) million deaths for O3 at fine resolution. Globally we estimate a total bias of -15.8% (-21.1%, -12.1%) for PM2.5 and -9.0% (-9.4%, -8.6%) for O3 at the coarser resolution. By upscaling the fine resolution to 2.5°x2° by simple averaging, we find that most of the bias at coarse resolution results from changes in model chemistry rather than the spatial alignment of population and concentrations. The bias at coarse resolution varies substantially among world regions.

description: Proteins unfold in chaotropic salt solutions, a process that is difficult to observe at the single protein level. The work presented here demonstrates that a liquid-based atomic force microscope and graphene liquid-cell-based scanning transmission electron microscope make it possible to observe chemically induced protein unfolding. To illustrate this capability, ferritin proteins were deposited on a graphene surface, and the concentration-dependent urea- or guanidinium-induced changes of morphology were monitored for holo-ferritin with its ferrihydrite core as well as apo-ferritin without this core. Depending on the chaotropic agent the liquid-based imaging setup captured an unexpected transformation of natively folded holo-ferritin proteins into rings after urea treatment but not after guanidinium treatment. Urea treatment of apo-ferritin did not result in nanorings, confirming that nanorings are a specific signature of denaturation of holo-ferritins after exposture to sufficiently high urea concentrations. Mapping the in situ images with molecular dynamics simulations of ferritin subunits in urea solutions suggests that electrostatic destabilization triggers denaturation of ferritin as urea makes direct contact with the protein and also disrupts the water H-bonding network in the ferritin solvation shell. Our findings deepen the understanding of protein denaturation studied using label-free techniques operating at the solid–liquid interface.

description: The study reassesses the relationship between income inequality and economic growth for a sample of eighty-one developing and OECD countries for the periods 2010 to 2014 and 2015 to 2019. The average economic growth during these periods is regressed against the 2010 and 2015 values of inequality and controlled variables including initial growth, education, life expectancy, inflation, governance quality, and KOF Globalisation Index using OLS models. On the whole, the findings of this study reveal that an increase in income inequality increases economic growth for the period 2010 to 2014; and an increase in income inequality decreases economic growth for the period 2015 to 2019. Specifically, the findings for the interaction model for the period 2010 to 2014 indicate that in low and middle-income countries, increases in income inequality increase economic growth more than in high-income countries. Similarly, the findings for the interaction model for the period 2015 to 2019 suggest that in high-income countries, decreases in income inequality raise economic growth more than in low and middle-income countries. This study offers insights into how government policymakers and development practitioners develop sound policies geared towards the inclusive growth of the economy. Appropriate recommendations are proposed for future research.

WaSH in Practice: Evidence and Themes from the Global Health Activities of Environmental Science and Engineering Officers

description: The Environmental Science and Engineering Officers’ (ESEOs’) role in the Department of Defense’s (DOD’s) global health efforts in water, sanitation, and hygiene (WaSH) are not well-defined. This study establishes the first evidence base for ESEOs’ relevance in the global health space using a cross-sectional, mixed methods approach. The research aimed to define and understand the types, themes, and implications of these activities, as they relate to the training and development of ESEOs in the ranks of Second Lieutenant through Major. The study found that 68% of ESEOs have participated in at least one global health activity, and 54% have done so in WaSH. The prevalence of WaSH activities from 2008-2020 indicated an upward trend in the last 4 years. These activities were conducted predominantly by junior grade ESEOs, with Lieutenants having the highest odds of participating in WaSH activities. The majority of ESEOs reported not having the academic foundation for modern global health practice from a CEPH-accredited institution or the AMEDD Center & School’s 6A-F5 course. While they reported being effective in their WaSH activities, they attributed their perceived success to extraneous factors. ESEOs conveyed that they were not well-prepared by 6A-F5 for global health activities in WaSH. This study supports two actionable recommendations in the professional training and development of ESEOs: the optimization of the 6A-F5 curriculum using the prioritized list of competencies developed by this study and improving the talent management of ESEOs using the Army’s new talent alignment process. This study delivers an evidence base to legitimize the role of ESEOs in global health and to help steer their success in the modern practice of global health, particularly in WaSH.

description: As left adjoint to the dual algebra functor, Sweedler's finite dual construction is an important tool in the theory of Hopf algebras over a field. We show in this note that the left adjoint to the dual algebra functor, which exists over arbitrary rings, shares a number of properties with the finite dual. Nonetheless the requirement that it should map Hopf algebras to Hopf algebras needs the extra assumption that this left adjoint should map an algebra into its linear dual. We identify a condition guaranteeing that Sweedler's construction works when generalized to noetherian commutative rings. We establish the following two apparently previously unnoticed dual adjunctions: For every commutative ring $R$ the left adjoint of the dual algebra functor on the category of $R$-bialgebras has a right adjoint. This dual adjunction can be restricted to a dual adjunction on the category of Hopf $R$-algebras, provided that $R$ is noetherian and absolutely flat.

description: We present deep 10h VLT/XSHOOTER spectroscopy for an extraordinarily luminous and extended Lya emitter at z=6.595 referred to as Himiko and first discussed by Ouchi et al. (2009), with the purpose of constraining the mechanisms powering its strong emission. Complementary to the spectrum, we discuss NIR imaging data from the CANDELS survey. We find neither for HeII nor any metal line a significant excess, with 3 sigma upper limits of 6.8, 3.1, and 5.8x10^{-18} erg/s/cm^2 for CIV $λ$1549, HeII $λ$1640, CIII] $λ$1909, respectively, assuming apertures with 200 km/s widths and offset by -250 km/s w.r.t to the peak Lya redshift. These limits provide strong evidence that an AGN is not a major contribution to Himiko's Lya flux. Strong conclusions about the presence of PopIII star-formation or gravitational cooling radiation are not possible based on the obtained HeII upper limit. Our Lya spectrum confirms both spatial extent and flux (8.8+/-0.5x10^{-17} erg/s/cm^2) of previous measurements. In addition, we can unambiguously exclude any remaining chance of it being a lower redshift interloper by significantly detecting a continuum redwards of Lya, while being undetected bluewards.

description: Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell costimulation mediated by CD28 and 4-1BB is essential for CAR-T
cell-induced tumor regression. However, CD28 and 4-1BB differentially modulate kinetics, metabolism
and persistence of CAR-T cells, and the mechanisms governing these differences are not fully understood.
We found that LCK recruited into the synapse of CD28-encoding CAR by co-receptors causes antigen-independent
CAR-CD3z phosphorylation and increased antigen-dependent T cell activation. In contrast, the synapse
formed by 4-1BB-encoding CAR recruits the THEMIS-SHP1 phosphatase complex that attenuates
CAR-CD3z phosphorylation. We further demonstrated that the CAR synapse can be engineered to recruit
either LCK to enhance the kinetics of tumor killing of 4-1BB CAR-T cells or SHP1 to tune down cytokine
release of CD28 CAR-T cells.

description: We present a weak-lensing analysis of the merging {\em Frontier Fields} (FF) cluster Abell~2744 using new Subaru/Suprime-Cam imaging. The wide-field lensing mass distribution reveals this cluster is comprised of four distinct substructures. Simultaneously modeling the two-dimensional reduced shear field using a combination of a Navarro--Frenk--White (NFW) model for the main core and truncated NFW models for the subhalos, we determine their masses and locations. The total mass of the system is constrained as $M_\mathrm{200c} = (2.06\pm0.42)\times10^{15}\,M_\odot$. The most massive clump is the southern component with $M_\mathrm{200c} = (7.7\pm3.4)\times10^{14}\,M_\odot$, followed by the western substructure ($M_\mathrm{200c} = (4.5\pm2.0)\times10^{14}\,M_\odot$) and two smaller substructures to the northeast ($M_\mathrm{200c} = (2.8\pm1.6)\times10^{14}\,M_\odot$) and northwest ($M_\mathrm{200c} = (1.9\pm1.2)\times10^{14}\,M_\odot$). The presence of the four substructures supports the picture of multiple mergers. Using a composite of hydrodynamical binary simulations we explain this complicated system without the need for a "slingshot" effect to produce the northwest X-ray interloper, as previously proposed. The locations of the substructures appear to be offset from both the gas ($87^{+34}_{-28}$ arcsec, 90\% CL) and the galaxies ($72^{+34}_{-53}$ arcsec, 90\% CL) in the case of the northwestern and western subhalos. To confirm or refute these findings, high resolution space-based observations extending beyond the current FF limited coverage to the west and northwestern area are essential.

description: We develop topological dynamics for the group of automorphisms of a monster model of any given theory. In particular, we find strong relationships between objects from topological dynamics (such as the generalized Bohr compactification introduced by Glasner) and various Galois groups of the theory in question, obtaining essentially new information about them, e.g. we present the closure of the identity in the Lascar Galois group of the theory as the quotient of a compact, Hausdorff group by a dense subgroup. We apply this to describe the complexity of bounded, invariant equivalence relations, obtaining comprehensive results, subsuming and extending the existing results and answering some open questions from earlier papers. We show that, in a countable theory, any such relation restricted to the set of realizations of a complete type over $\emptyset$ is type-definable if and only if it is smooth. Then we show a counterpart of this result for theories in an arbitrary (not necessarily countable) language, obtaining also new information involving relative definability of the relation in question. As a final conclusion we get the following trichotomy. Let $\mathfrak{C}$ be a monster model of a countable theory, $p \in S(\emptyset)$, and $E$ be a bounded, (invariant) Borel (or, more generally, analytic) equivalence relation on $p(\mathfrak{C})$. Then, exactly one of the following holds: (1) $E$ is relatively definable (on $p(\mathfrak{C})$), smooth, and has finitely many classes, (2) $E$ is not relatively definable, but it is type-definable, smooth, and has $2^{\aleph_0}$ classes, (3) $E$ is not type definable and not smooth, and has $2^{\aleph_0}$ classes. All the results which we obtain for bounded, invariant equivalence relations carry over to the case of bounded index, invariant subgroups of definable groups.

description: An effective prophylactic hepatitis B virus (HBV) vaccine has long been available but is ineffective for chronic infection. The primary cause of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) and greatest impediment for a therapeutic vaccine is the direct and indirect effects of immune tolerance to HBV antigens. The resulting defective CD4+/CD8+ T cell response, poor cytokine production, insufficient neutralizing anti-body (nAb) and poor response to HBsAg vaccination characterize CHB infection. The objective of this study was to develop virus-like-particles (VLPs) that elicit nAb to prevent viral spread and prime CD4+/CD8+ T cells to eradicate intracellular HBV. Eight neutralizing B cell epitopes from the envelope PreS1 region were consolidated onto a species-variant of the HBV core protein, the woodchuck hepatitis core antigen (WHcAg). PreS1-specific B cell epitopes were chosen because of preferential expression on HBV virions. Because WHcAg and HBcAg are not crossreactive at the B cell level and only partially cross-reactive at the CD4+/CD8+ T cell level, CD4+ T cells specific for WHcAg-unique T cell sites can provide cognate T-B cell help for anti-PreS1 Ab production that is not curtailed by immune tolerance. Immunization of immune tolerant HBV transgenic (Tg) mice with PreS1-WHc VLPs elicited levels of high titer anti-PreS1 nAbs equivalent to wildtype mice. Passive transfer of PreS1 nAbs into human-liver chimeric mice prevented acute infection and cleared serum HBV from mice previously infected with HBV in a model of CHB. At the T cell level, PreS1-WHc VLPs and hybrid WHcAg/HBcAg DNA immunogens elicited HBcAg-specific CD4+ Th and CD8+ CTL responses.

description: We present and investigate an analogue model for a controllable photon geberation via the dynamical Casimir effect (DCE) in a cavity containing a degenerate optical amplifier (OPA) which is pumed by an amplitude-modulated field. The time modulation of the pump field in the model OPA system is equivalent to a periodic modulation of the cavity length, which is responsible for the generation of the Casimir radiation. By taking into account the rapidly oscillating terms of the modulation frequency, the effects of the corresponding counter-rotating terms (CRTs) on the analogue Casimir radiation emerge clearly. We find that the mean number of generated photons and their quantum statistical properties exhibit oscillatory behaviors, which are controllable through the modulation frequency as an external control parameter.We also recognize a new phenomenon, the so-called "Anti-DCE," in which pair photons can be coherently annihilated due to the time-modulated pumping. We show that the Casimir radiation exhibits quadrature squeezing, photon bunching and super-Poissonian statistics which are controllable by modulation frequency. We also calculate the power spectrum of the intracavity light field. We find that the appearance of the side bands in the spectrum is due to the presence of the CRTs.

description: We investigate thermal photon emission rates in hot hadronic matter from a system consisting of pi, rho, and omega mesons. The rates are calculated using both relativistic kinetic theory with Born diagrams as well as thermal field theory at the two-loop level. This enables us to cross-check our calculations and to manage a pole contribution that arises in the Born approximation corresponding to the omega -> pi^0 gamma radiative decay. After implementing hadronic form factors to account for finite-size corrections, we find that the resulting photo-emission rates are comparable to existing results from pi rho -> pi gamma processes in the energy regime of 1-3 GeV. We expect that our new sources will provide a non-negligible contribution to the total hadronic rates, thereby enhancing calculated thermal photon spectra from heavy-ion collisions, which could improve the description of current direct-photon data from experiment.

description: Roles of antinucleon degrees of freedom in the relativistic random phase approximation(RPA) are investigated. The energy-weighted sum of the RPA transition strengths is expressed in terms of the double commutator between the excitation operator and the Hamiltonian, as in nonrelativistic models. The commutator, however, should not be calculated with a usual way in the local field theory, because, otherwise, the sum vanishes. The sum value obtained correctly from the commutator is infinite, owing to the Dirac sea. Most of the previous calculations takes into account only a part of the nucleon-antinucleon states, in order to avoid the divergence problems. As a result, RPA states with negative excitation energy appear, which make the sum value vanish. Moreover, disregarding the divergence changes the sign of nuclear interactions in the RPA equation which describes the coupling of the nucleon particle-hole states with the nucleon-antinucleon states. Indeed, excitation energies of the spurious state and giant monopole states in the no-sea approximation are dominated by those unphysical changes. The baryon current conservation can be described without touching the divergence problems. A schematic model with separable interactions is presented, which makes the structure of the relativistic RPA transparent.

Old Bands, New Tracks---Revisiting the Band Model for Robust Hypothesis Testing

description: The density band model proposed by Kassam for robust hypothesis testing is revisited in this paper. First, a novel criterion for the general characterization of least favorable distributions is proposed, which unifies existing results. This criterion is then used to derive an implicit definition of the least favorable distributions under band uncertainties. In contrast to the existing solution, it only requires two scalar values to be determined and eliminates the need for case-by-case statements. Based on this definition, a generic fixed-point algorithm is proposed that iteratively calculates the least favorable distributions for arbitrary band specifications. Finally, three different types of robust tests that emerge from band models are discussed and a numerical example is presented to illustrate their potential use in practice.

description: The practical prospect of quantum communication and information processing relies on sophisticated single photon pairs which feature controllable waveform, narrow spectrum, excellent purity, fiber compatibility and miniaturized design. For practical realizations, stable, miniaturized, low-cost devices are required. Sources with one or some of above performances have been demonstrated already, but it is quite challenging to have a source with all of the described characteristics simultaneously. Here we report on an integrated single-longitudinal-mode non-degenerate narrowband photon pair source, which exhibits all requirements needed for quantum applications. The device is composed of a periodically poled Ti-indiffused lithium niobate waveguide with high reflective dielectric mirror coatings deposited on the waveguide end-faces. Photon pairs with wavelengths around 890 nm and 1320 nm are generated via type II phase-matched parametric down-conversion. Clustering in this dispersive cavity restricts the whole conversion spectrum to one single-longitudinal-mode in a single cluster yielding a narrow bandwidth of only 60 MHz. The high conversion efficiency in the waveguide, together with the spectral clustering in the doubly resonant waveguide, leads to a high brightness of $3\times10^4~$pairs/(s$\cdot$mW$\cdot$MHz). This source exhibits prominent single-longitudinal-mode purity and remarkable temporal shaping capability. Especially, due to temporal broadening, we can observe that the coherence time of the two-photon component of PDC state is actually longer than the one of the single photon states. The miniaturized monolithic design makes this source have various fiber communication applications.

description: Refrigeration of a solid-state system with light has potential applications for cooling small-scale electronics and photonics. We show theoretically that two coupled semiconductor quantum wells are efficient cooling media for optical refrigeration because they support long-lived indirect electron-hole pairs. Thermal excitation of these pairs to distinct higher-energy states with faster radiative recombination allows an efficient escape channel to remove thermal energy from the system. This allows reaching much higher cooling efficiencies than with single quantum wells. From band-diagram calculations along with an experimentally realistic level scheme we calculate the cooling efficiency and cooling yield of different devices with coupled quantum wells embedded in a suspended nanomembrane. The dimension and composition of the quantum wells allow optimizing either of these quantities, which cannot, however, be maximized simultaneously. Quantum-well structures with electrical control allow tunability of carrier lifetimes and energy levels so that the cooling efficiency can be optimized over time as the thermal population decreases due to the cooling.

description: We show that the regular patterns of Getzler (2009) form a 2-category biequivalent to the 2-category of substitudes of Day and Street (2003), and that the Feynman categories of Kaufmann and Ward (2013) form a 2-category biequivalent to the 2-category of coloured operads (with invertible 2-cells). These biequivalences induce equivalences between the corresponding categories of algebras. There are three main ingredients in establishing these biequivalences. The first is a strictification theorem (exploiting Power's General Coherence Result) which allows to reduce to the case where the structure maps are identity-on-objects functors and strict monoidal. Second, we subsume the Getzler and Kaufmann--Ward hereditary axioms into the notion of Guitart exactness, a general condition ensuring compatibility between certain left Kan extensions and a given monad, in this case the free-symmetric-monoidal-category monad. Finally we set up a biadjunction between substitudes and what we call pinned symmetric monoidal categories, from which the results follow as a consequence of the fact that the hereditary map is precisely the counit of this biadjunction.

description: We study the character sums \[ϕ_{(m,n)}(a,b)=\sum_{x\in\mathbb{F}_q}ϕ\left(x(x^{m}+a)(x^{n}+b)\right),\textrm{ and, } ψ_{(m,n)}(a,b)=\sum_{x\in\mathbb{F}_q}ϕ\left((x^{m}+a)(x^{n}+b)\right)\] where $ϕ$ is the quadratic character defined over $\mathbb{F}_q$. These sums are expressed in terms of Gaussian hypergeometric series over $\mathbb{F}_q$. Then we use these expressions to exhibit the number of $\mathbb{F}_q$-rational points on families of hyperelliptic curves and their Jacobian varieties.
