description: This study explores how digital media can be used to improve customer communications for commuter railroads during and after COVID-19, through a more personal approach. A digital campaign that allows the public to see the issues of railroad operations and COVID-19 from the railroads' perspective may create more confidence in rail transit. A casual video game that uses procedural rhetoric to immerse players in the situations that railroads must manage could be used to supplement a traditional campaign of social media images and a webpage. To prove these ideas, two focus groups, each consisting of 4-5 regular rail commuters from different cities in the United States, viewed images for social media and a corresponding webpage. One of the groups also explored a prototype of a casual video game. The groups then discussed their experiences using the railroads during COVID-19, their satisfaction with their railroads' communication with the public, their reactions to the game and the digital media campaign, and how the railroads could use digital media to improve communication with the public. The focus group participants all felt satisfied with the railroads' communication methods and did not see a need to improve them. While they generally liked the digital media campaign and thought the game could be useful, it did not improve their feelings toward their railroads. Other drawbacks included technical problems and lack of quality of information provided by some participants. Still, the study can inspire further research. It would be helpful to create a playable game so that participants have a better idea of its purpose. It would also be helpful to modify the research methods, such as including a survey and using larger focus groups with participants more attuned to social media and casual video games. This study demonstrates the potential for railroads to use digital media and games to inform customers and improve community relations.

description: D3 is arguably the most popular tool for implementing web based visualizations. Yet D3 has a steep learning curve that may hinder its adoption and continued use. To simplify the process of programming D3 visualizations, we must first understand the space of implementation practices that D3 users engage in. We present a qualitative analysis of 2500 D3 visualizations and their corresponding implementations. We find that 5 visualization types (Bar Charts, Geomaps, Line Charts, Scatterplots, and Force Directed Graphs) account for 80% of D3 visualizations found in our corpus. While implementation styles vary slightly across designs, the underlying code structure for all visualization types remains the same; presenting an opportunity for code reuse. Using our corpus of D3 examples, we synthesize reusable code templates for eight popular D3 visualization types and share them in our open source repository. Based on our results, we discuss design considerations for leveraging users' implementation patterns to reduce visualization design effort through design templates and auto-generated code recommendations.

description: Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in higher education has expanded over the last half-century, but inequities still exist. This study explored the attitudes and motivations of twelve DEI professionals at six universities using in-depth qualitative interviews to learn what drives their use of social justice-oriented approaches as an alternative to traditional DEI practices to effect change in higher education. The study investigated how practitioners define DEI and social justice and whether both types of approaches are successful toward achieving DEI goals. An examination of drawbacks, conflicts, and institutional barriers revealed impacts on the application of these approaches. In addition, the study examined communication methods to understand how to position DEI and social justice practices effectively. Findings indicated that differences in approach were not related to individual DEI practitioners as much as institutional factors and suggested that DEI communicators draw from the co-orientation model as a “multipartial” positioning strategy.

description: Large meat processing companies contract people with large buildings to grow livestock like chickens and pigs. These people — called growers — borrow thousands of dollars to build a feeding operation and update it. Because meat companies own every other element in the industry, growers must invest more money into updating their infrastructure to increase their production and profit, creating a cycle of debt some growers struggle to escape. I will report on solutions growers, non-profits and legislators are exploring to break this cycle. In four print stories, I will explore the industry’s problems, how changes to growers’ contracts could improve their work, how supporting independent meat processing would help independent farmers, and what needs to happen to make pasture-raised poultry competitive against commercial poultry.

description: We present a noise deconvolution technique for obtaining noiseless expectation values of noisy observables at the output of multiqubit quantum channels. For any number of qubits or in the presence of correlations, our protocol applies to any mathematically invertible noise model, even when its inverse map is not physically implementable, i.e. when it is neither completely-positive nor trace-preserving. For a generic observable affected by Pauli noise it provides a quadratic speedup, always producing a rescaling of its Pauli basis components. We show that it is still possible to achieve the deconvolution while experimentally estimating the noise parameters, whenever these are unknown (bypassing resource-heavy techniques such as quantum process tomography). We provide a simulation, with examples for both Pauli and non-Pauli channels.

description: We propose a novel measure of chaotic scattering amplitudes. It takes the form of a log-normal distribution function for the ratios $r_n={δ_n}/{δ_{n+1}}$ of (consecutive) spacings $δ_n$ between two (consecutive) peaks of the scattering amplitude. We show that the same measure applies to the quantum mechanical scattering on a leaky torus as well as to the decay of highly excited string states into two tachyons. Quite remarkably the $r_n$ obey the same distribution that governs the non-trivial zeros of Riemann zeta function.

Wild binary segmentation for multiple change-point detection
Creators: name: Fryzlewicz, Piotr
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Statistics Theory (math.ST)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: We propose a new technique, called wild binary segmentation (WBS), for consistent estimation of the number and locations of multiple change-points in data. We assume that the number of change-points can increase to infinity with the sample size. Due to a certain random localisation mechanism, WBS works even for very short spacings between the change-points and/or very small jump magnitudes, unlike standard binary segmentation. On the other hand, despite its use of localisation, WBS does not require the choice of a window or span parameter, and does not lead to a significant increase in computational complexity. WBS is also easy to code. We propose two stopping criteria for WBS: one based on thresholding and the other based on what we term the `strengthened Schwarz information criterion'. We provide default recommended values of the parameters of the procedure and show that it offers very good practical performance in comparison with the state of the art. The WBS methodology is implemented in the R package wbs, available on CRAN. In addition, we provide a new proof of consistency of binary segmentation with improved rates of convergence, as well as a corresponding result for WBS.

Quantifying density fluctuations in water at a hydrophobic surface: evidence for critical drying
Creators: name: Evans, Robert

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Employing smart Monte Carlo sampling techniques within the grand canonical ensemble, we investigate the properties of water at a model hydrophobic substrate. By reducing the strength of substrate-water attraction we find that fluctuations in the local number density, quantified by a rigorous definition of the local compressibility $χ(z)$, increase rapidly for distances $z$ within $1$ or $2$ molecular diameters from the substrate as the degree of hydrophobicity, measured by the macroscopic contact angle $θ$, increases. Our simulations provide evidence for a continuous (critical) drying transition as the substrate-water interaction becomes very weak: $\cos(θ)\to -1$. We speculate that the existence of such a transition might account for earlier simulation observations of strongly enhanced density fluctuations.

description: Incorrectly sized balloon catheters can lead to increased post-surgical complications, yet even with preoperative imaging, correct selection remains a challenge. With limited feedback during surgery, it is difficult to verify correct deployment. We propose the use of integrated impedance measurements and Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) imaging to assess the deformation of the balloon and determine the size and shape of the surrounding lumen. Previous work using single impedance measurements, or pressure data and analytical models, whilst demonstrating high sizing accuracy, have assumed a circular cross section. Here we extend these methods by adding a multitude of electrodes to detect elliptical and occluded lumen and obtain EIT images to localise deformations. Using a 14 Fr (5.3 mm) catheter as an example, numerical simulations were performed to find the optimal electrode configuration of two rings of 8 electrodes spaced 10 mm apart. The simulations predicted that the maximum detectable aspect ratio decreased from 0.9 for a 14mm balloon to 0.5 at 30mm. The sizing and ellipticity detection results were verified experimentally. A prototype robotic balloon catheter was constructed to automatically inflate a compliant balloon while simultaneously recording EIT and pressure data. Data were collected in experiments replicating stenotic vessels with an elliptical and asymmetrical profile, and the widening of a lumen during angioplasty. After calibration, the system was able to correctly localise the occlusion and detect aspect ratios of 0.75. EIT images further localised the occlusion and visualised the dilation of the lumen during balloon inflation.

A stochastic simulation of the propagation of Galactic cosmic rays reflecting the discreteness of cosmic ray sources. Age and path length distribution

description: The path length distribution of Galactic cosmic rays (GCRs) is the fundamental ingredient for modeling the propagation process of GCRs based on the so-called weighted slab method. We try to derive this distribution numerically by taking into account the discreteness in both space and time of occurrences of supernova explosions where GCRs are suspected to be born. We solve numerically the stochastic differential equations equivalent to the Parker diffusion-convection equation which describes the propagation process of GCR in the Galaxy. We assume the three-dimensional diffusion is an isotropic one without any free escape boundaries. We ignore any energy change of GCRs and the existence of the Galactic wind for simplicity. We also assume axisymmetric configurations for the density distributions of the interstellar matter and for the surface density of supernovae. We have calculated age and path length of GCR protons arriving at the solar system with this stochastic method. The obtained age is not the escape time of GCRs from the Galaxy as usually assumed, but the time spent by GCRs during their journey to the solar system from the supernova remnants where they were born. The derived age and path length show a distribution spread in a wide range even for GCR protons arriving at the solar system with the same energy. The distributions show a cut-off at a lower range in age or path length depending on the energy of GCRs. These cut-offs clearly come from the discreteness of occurrence of supernovae. The mean age of GeV particles obtained from the distributions is consistent with the age obtained by direct observation of radioactive secondary nuclei. The energy dependence of the B/C ratio estimated with the path length distribution reproduces reliably the energy dependence of B/C obtained by recent observations in space.

description: Substandard and falsified antimalarials contribute to the global malaria burden by increasing the risk of treatment failures, adverse events, unnecessary health expenditures, and avertable deaths. Yet no study has examined this impact in Western Francophone Africa to date. In Benin, where malaria remains endemic and is the leading cause of mortality among children under age five, there is a lack of robust data to combat the issue effectively and inform policy decisions. We adapted the Substandard and Falsified Antimalarial Research Impact (SAFARI) model to assess the health and economic impact of poor-quality antimalarials in this population. The model simulated population characteristics, malaria infection, care-seeking behavior, disease progression, treatment outcomes, and associated costs of malaria. We estimated approximately 1.8 million cases of malaria in Benin among children under age five, which cost $177 million (95% CI: $176 – $178 million) in treatment costs and productivity losses annually. Substandard and falsified antimalarials were responsible for 2.8% (n=165) of deaths and nearly $4.9 million in annual costs. Moreover, we found that replacing all antimalarials with quality-assured artemisinin combination therapies (ACTs) could result in $13.6 million in cost-savings, and increasing pediatric malaria care-seeking by 20% could bring $19.4 million in cost-savings. These results highlight the value of improving access to quality-assured ACTs for malaria treatment and increasing care-seeking in Benin. Policymakers and key stakeholders should use these findings to advocate for increased access to quality-assured antimalarials, inform policies and interventions to improve healthcare access and quality, and reduce the burden of malaria.
Understanding the Electronic Structure and Electron Transfer Kinetics of Titanium Dioxide Photoanodes and Analyzing Parameters Affecting Flatband Potentials in Metal Oxides
Creators: name: Patel, Milan

Year: 2021

description: Rutile TiO2 shows promise for being used as a photoanode semiconductor in dye-sensitized photoelectrosynthesis cells (DSPECs), devices that use sunlight to drive the production of solar fuels. The addition of a TiO2 coating or shell onto a mesoporous nanocrystalline TiO2 photoanode substrate has been shown to improve device efficiency for water oxidation, yet little is known about why this change improves the performance of DSPECs. In this research, TiOx shells were deposited using atomic layer deposition onto rutile TiO2 nanorods and the electrochemical effects of the deposition were probed to help elucidate changes to the electronic structure induced by the shell. Rutile TiO2 was found to have a monoenergetic collection of deep trap states that is positive in potential to an exponential trap distribution in the band gap below the conduction band minimum. When increasing the TiOx shell thickness, the deep trap states of rutile TiO2 shifted to more positive potentials without changing the density of these states. In addition, the band gap of the material was found to decrease as shell thickness increased as quantified using diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. From photoelectrochemical impedance spectroscopy, the calculated rates of back-electron transfer were lower for samples with a TiOx shell compared to samples of rutile TiO2 without a shell.

Metal oxides like TiO2 are gaining a lot of attention for their applications in energy technologies. A useful parameter used in the application of metal oxides is the flatband potential, yet values for the flatband potential are widely variable in the literature. A meta-analysis of flatband potential values for TiO2, SnO2, and ZnO was performed to study what variables impact the flatband potential for n-type metal oxides. Flatband potential values  shifted –59 mV/pH with the exception of ZnO thin film flatband potentials, which showed an apparent lack of dependence on solution pH likely. The flatband potentials for anatase TiO2 nanotubes were shifted ~ 0.4V positive of other anatase TiO2 morphologies. Without the nanotube data points, anatase TiO2 and rutile TiO2 did not have a significant difference in mean flatband potential values, in contrast to what is often assumed for these two crystalline phases. Flatband potentials for ZnO appeared to shift negatively with increasing cation concentration, though previous literature precedence with other metal oxides suggests that the flatband potential should not be affected by non-proton cations in aqueous solutions. The findings of these analyses demonstrate the need to recognize the sensitivity of flatband potentials to multiple factors and the spread of flatband potential values that exist even between similar nanomaterials.

Here we introduce the concept of arbitrarily structured laser (ASTRL) pulses which generalizes these techniques. The ASTRL formalism employs a superposition of prescribed pulses to create a desired electromagnetic field structure. Several examples illustrate the versatility of ASTRL pulses to address a range of laser-based applications.

Use of research evidence varied in efforts to expand pharmacist prescriptive authority: recommendations to increase research utilization
Creators: name: Kumar, Akshara

Year: 2021

description: Background: An expanding body of literature shows that pharmacists’ interventions improve health outcomes and are cost-saving. However, diverse state regulations of pharmacists’ scope of practice create a discrepancy between what pharmacists are trained to do and what they legally can do. This study hopes to investigate stakeholder utilization of research evidence to expand scope of practice in their respective states.
Methods: Using autonomous pharmacist prescriptive authority as a surrogate for general pharmacist scope of practice, a general policy document analysis was performed to understand the scope of practice landscape for pharmacists across the United States. Next, a systematized review and semi-structured interviews were conducted to explore how the identified states in the policy document analysis utilized evidence during the policy making process. Investigators analyzed findings from the systemize  review and transcribed interviews through application of the SPIRIT Action Framework. Resulting codes were summarized across themes, and recommendations to researchers about increasing utilization of research evidence were crafted.  
Results: Sixteen states with 27 autonomous pharmacist prescriptive authority policies were identified. The systemized review yielded no relevant peer-review literature regarding evidence utilization, so gray literature and interviews were analyzed. Public health need and safety considerations motivated evidence engagement, while key considerations dictating utilization of research included perceptions of research, access to resources and experts, and the successful implementation of similar policy. Research evidence helped to advocate for and set terms for pharmacist prescribing. Barriers to research utilization include stakeholder opposition to pharmacist prescribing, inability to interpret research, and a lack of relevant evidence. Recommendations for researchers include investigating specific metrics to evaluate scope of practice policy, developing relationships between policymakers and researchers, and leveraging pharmacy practice stakeholders.
Conclusions: Overall, alignment of researcher goals and legislative priorities, coupled with timely communication, may help to increase research evidence engagement in pharmacist scope of practice policy. By addressing these factors regarding research engagement identified in this study, researchers can increase evidence-based scope of practice, which can help to improve patient outcomes, contain costs, and provide pharmacists with the legal infrastructure to practice at the top of their license.

Broadening the Perceptions of The Home Literacy Environment Through a Digital Intervention
Creators: name: Wheat, Drew
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: The home language environment is a strong predictor of children’s future language and literacy abilities. On average, there are socioeconomic status (SES) differences in the composition of the home language environment. Using virtual reality and a strengths-based perspective, a digital intervention was developed to help low-income parents become more effective in promoting literacy in their homes. It was hypothesized that the intervention would broaden parental perceptions of literacy and change the way parents interacted with their children, as measured by the quantity and quality of their language input. Hypotheses were supported such that parents reported more varied ways of supporting literacy in the home and increased the quantity and quality of their language input with children during playtime.

description: Landau-Zener transition (LZT) has been explored in a variety of physical systems for coherent population transfer between different quantum states. In recent years, there have been various proposals for applying LZT to quantum information processing because when compared to the methods using ac pulse for coherent population transfer, protocols based on LZT are less sensitive to timing errors. However, the effect of finite range of qubit energy available to LZT based state control operations has not been thoroughly examined. In this work, we show that using the well-known Landau-Zener formula in the vicinity of an avoided energy-level crossing will cause considerable errors due to coherent oscillation of the transition probability in a single-passage LZT experiment. The data agree well with the numerical simulations which take the transient dynamics of LZT into account. These results not only provide a closer view on the issue of finite-time LZT but also shed light on its effects on the quantum state manipulation.
