description: Purpose: Exercise fidelity is a fundamental aspect of exercise prescription by physiotherapists. Assessing exercise fidelity via telehealth (videoconference) is potentially useful but its reproducibility has not been assessed. The objective was to evaluate agreement (reproducibility) of video rating of calf exercise fidelity within (over four weeks) and between telehealth raters and compared with live rating. Methods: Nineteen videos of participants with AT undertaking calf exercises were rated by physiotherapists in person (live) and by watching pre-recorded videos (replicating telehealth). Three forms of agreement were assessed: (i) between live assessment and recorded video (telehealth) assessment; (ii) between telehealth raters (inter-rater); (iii) agreement within telehealth raters over four weeks (intra-rater). Results: There was weak to almost perfect agreement (Kappa = 0.65 to 1.00, rater 1, Kappa = 0.57 to 1.00, rater 2) between the telehealth and live raters. There was moderate to almost perfect agreement (Kappa = 0.65 to 1.00) when assessing intra-rater reliability, aside from one of the six criteria (quality of movement). Conclusion: Assessing calf exercise fidelity via videos recorded on Zoom® appears to demonstrate weak or greater agreement versus live rating and over time. Inter-rater agreement was lower, suggesting that the criteria developed may be better suited to use by individual raters over time.

description: Background: Neural tube defects (NTD)s are common birth defects with a multifactorial etiology. Findings from human studies examining environmental (non-inherited) exposures tend to be inconclusive. In particular, although animal studies of alcohol exposure and NTDs support its teratogenic potential, human studies are equivocal. Using data from the National Birth Defects Prevention Study (NBDPS), associations between maternal periconceptional (1 month before through 1 month after conception) alcohol consumption and NTDs in offspring were examined. Methods: NTD cases and unaffected live born singleton controls with expected dates of delivery from October 1997–December 2011 were enrolled in the NBDPS. Interview reports of alcohol consumption (quantity, frequency, variability, type) from 1,922 case and 11,251 control mothers were analyzed. Crude and adjusted odds ratios (aOR)s and 95% confidence intervals (CI)s for alcohol consumption and all NTDs combined and selected subtypes (spina bifida, anencephaly, encephalocele) were estimated using unconditional logistic regression analysis. Results: Among mothers in the NBDPS, 28% of NTD case and 35% of control mothers reported any periconceptional alcohol consumption. For each measure of alcohol consumption, inverse associations were observed for all NTDs combined (aORs = 0.6–1.0). Results for NTD subtypes tended to be similar, but CIs for spina bifida and encephalocele were more likely to include the null. Conclusions: These findings suggest a lack of positive associations between maternal periconceptional alcohol consumption and NTDs. Future studies should continue to evaluate the association between maternal alcohol consumption and NTDs in offspring accounting for methodological limitations such as potential misclassification from self-reported alcohol consumption.

From Ocean Hill-Brownsville to Pittsburgh: A Study in the Evolution of Parent Involvement in Public Schools
Creators: name: Timko, Linda
Publisher: name: Carnegie Mellon University
Year: 2013
Subjects: History

description: This thesis explores the history of two efforts during the past half-century to enhance parental input in public schooling: the Community Control movement in Ocean Hill-Brownsville in 1968 and the formation of Parent Nation in Pittsburgh Public Schools in 2012-2013. I use a combination of historical and field research methods (observations, interviews) to explore the two case studies. The events leading to the Ocean Hill-Brownsville Teachers Strike of 1968 exemplified high parental involvement in school decision making, in a context of sharp political and racial conflict. The formation of Parent Nation in Pittsburgh occurred in a very different political and cultural environment and, crucially, one in which the role of charter schools has fundamentally transformed modern educational discourse. While the Ocean Hill-Brownsville and Pittsburgh stories differ greatly, both are valuable for demonstrating the complexities inherent in all efforts, past and present, to significantly enlarge parents’ voice in educational decision making.
Dynamical Color Correlations in a $SU(2)_c$ Quark Exchange Model of Nuclear Matter

description: The quark exchange model is a simple realization of an adiabatic approximation to the strong-coupling limit of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD): the quarks always coalesce into the lowest energy set of flux tubes. Nuclear matter is thus modeled in terms of its quarks. We wish to study the correlations imposed by total wavefunction antisymmetry when color degrees of freedom are included. To begin with, we have considered one-dimensional matter with a $SU(2)$ color internal degree of freedom only. We proceed by constructing a totally antisymmetric, color singlet {\it Ansatz} characterized by a variational parameter $λ$ (which describes the length scale over which two quarks in the system are clustered into hadrons) and by performing a variational Monte Carlo calculation of the energy to optimize $λ$ for a fixed density. We calculate the $q-q$ correlation function as well, and discuss the qualitative differences between the system at low and high density.

description: The initial value problem of scalar-tensor theories of gravity (STT) is analyzed in the physical (Jordan) frame using a 3+1 decomposition of spacetime. A first order strongly hyperbolic system is obtained for which the well posedness of the Cauchy problem can be established. We provide two simple applications of the 3+1 system of equations: one for static and spherically symmetric spacetimes which allows the construction of unstable initial data (compact objects) for which a further black hole formation and scalar gravitational wave emission can be analyzed, and another application is for homogeneous and isotropic spacetimes that permits to study the dynamics of the Universe in the framework of STT.

description: The kinematics and dynamics of stellar and substellar populations within young, still-forming clusters provides valuable information for constraining theories of formation mechanisms. Using Keck II NIRSPEC+AO data, we have measured radial velocities for 56 low-mass sources within 4' of the core of the Orion Nebula Cluster (ONC). We also re-measure radial velocities for 172 sources observed with SDSS/APOGEE. These data are combined with proper motions measured using $HST$ ACS/WFPC2/WFC3IR and Keck II NIRC2, creating a sample of 135 sources with all three velocity components. The velocities measured are consistent with a normal distribution in all three components. We measure intrinsic velocity dispersions of ($σ_{v_α}$, $σ_{v_δ}$, $σ_{v_r}$) = ($1.64\pm0.12$, $2.03\pm0.13$, $2.56^{+0.16}_{-0.17}$) km s$^{-1}$. Our computed intrinsic velocity dispersion profiles are consistent with the dynamical equilibrium models from Da Rio et al. (2014) in the tangential direction, but not in the line of sight direction, possibly indicating that the core of the ONC is not yet virialized, and may require a non-spherical potential to explain the observed velocity dispersion profiles. We also observe a slight elongation along the north-south direction following the filament, which has been well studied in previous literature, and an elongation in the line of sight to tangential velocity direction. These 3-D kinematics will help in the development of realistic models of the formation and early evolution of massive clusters.

description: Persons of African ancestry (AA) have a twofold higher risk for multiple myeloma (MM) compared with persons of European ancestry (EA). Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) support a genetic contribution to MM etiology in individuals of EA. Little is known about genetic risk factors for MM in individuals of AA. We performed a meta-analysis of 2 GWASs ofMMin 1813 cases and 8871 controls and conducted an admixture mapping scan to identify risk alleles. We fine-mapped the 23 known susceptibility loci to find markers that could better capture MM risk in individuals of AA and constructed a polygenic risk score (PRS) to assess the aggregated effect of known MM risk alleles. In GWAS meta-analysis, we identified 2 suggestive novel loci located at 9p24.3 and 9p13.1 at P < 1 × 10-6; however, no genome-wide significant association was noted. In admixture mapping, we observed a genome-wide significant inverse association between local AA at 2p24.1-23.1 and MM risk in AA individuals. Of the 23 known EA risk variants, 20 showed directional consistency, and 9 replicated at P < .05 in AA individuals. In 8 regions, we identified markers that better captureMMrisk in persons with AA. AA individuals with a PRS in the top 10% had a 1.82-fold (95% confidence interval, 1.56-2.11) increased MM risk compared with those with average risk (25%-75%). The strongest functional association was between the risk allele for variant rs56219066 at 5q15 and lower ELL2 expression (P = 5.1 × 10-12). Our study shows that common genetic variation contributes to MM risk in individuals with AA.

description: We put forward the concept of resonant, Rabi-like flopping and adiabatic transitions between confined light modes in properly modulated multimode waveguides. The phenomenon is shown to take place in both, the linear and the nonlinear regimes. In addition, we find that the mode transitions occur not only in simple geometries, but also in complex confining multimode structures. The phenomenon is analogous to the familiar stimulated state transitions that occur in multilevel quantum systems.

description: High dietary glycaemic index (GI) and glycaemic load (GL) may increase cancer risk. However, limited information was available on GI and/or GL and head and neck cancer (HNC) risk. We conducted a pooled analysis on 8 case-control studies (4081 HNC cases; 7407 controls) from the International Head and Neck Cancer Epidemiology (INHANCE) consortium. We estimated the odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of HNC, and its subsites, from fixed- or mixed-effects logistic models including centre-specific quartiles of GI or GL. GI, but not GL, had a weak positive association with HNC (ORQ4 vs. Q1 = 1.16; 95% CI = 1.02–1.31). In subsites, we found a positive association between GI and laryngeal cancer (ORQ4 vs. Q1 = 1.60; 95% CI = 1.30–1.96) and an inverse association between GL and oropharyngeal cancer (ORQ4 vs. Q1 = 0.78; 95% CI = 0.63–0.97). This pooled analysis indicates a modest positive association between GI and HNC, mainly driven by laryngeal cancer.

description: Background: Alcohol is a well-established risk factor for head and neck cancer (HNC). This study aims to explore the effect of alcohol intensity and duration, as joint continuous exposures, on HNC risk. Methods: Data from 26 case-control studies in the INHANCE Consortium were used, including never and current drinkers who drunk ≤10 drinks/day for ≤54 years (24234 controls, 4085 oral cavity, 3359 oropharyngeal, 983 hypopharyngeal and 3340 laryngeal cancers). The dose-response relationship between the risk and the joint exposure to drinking intensity and duration was investigated through bivariate regression spline models, adjusting for potential confounders, including tobacco smoking. Results: For all subsites, cancer risk steeply increased with increasing drinks/day, with no appreciable threshold effect at lower intensities. For each intensity level, the risk of oral cavity, hypopharyngeal and laryngeal cancers did not vary according to years of drinking, suggesting no effect of duration. For oropharyngeal cancer, the risk increased with durations up to 28 years, flattening thereafter. The risk peaked at the higher levels of intensity and duration for all subsites (odds ratio = 7.95 for oral cavity, 12.86 for oropharynx, 24.96 for hypopharynx and 6.60 for larynx). Conclusions: Present results further encourage the reduction of alcohol intensity to mitigate HNC risk.

description: It is usually believed that MOND can describe the galactic rotational curves with only baryonic matter and without any dark matter very well, while the $Λ$CDM model is expected to have difficulty in reproducing MOND-like behavior. Here, we use EAGLE's data to learn whether the $Λ$CDM model can reproduce MOND-like behavior. EAGLE's simulation result clearly reproduces the MOND-like behavior for $a_b\gtrapprox 10^{-12}\text{m/s}^2$ at $z=0$, although the acceleration constant, $a_0$, is a little larger than the observational data indicate. We find that $a_0$ increases with the redshift in a way different from what Milgrom proposed ($a_0\propto H$). Therefore, while galaxy rotation curves can be fitted by MOND's empirical function in the $Λ$CDM model, there is no clear connection between $a_0$ and the Hubble constant. We also find that $a_0$ at $z\gtrapprox 1$ is well separated from $a_0$ at $z=0$. Once we have enough galaxies observed at high redshifts, we will be able to rule out the modified gravity model based on MOND-like empirical function with a z-independent $a_0$.

description: We analyze the cosmological signatures visible to an observer in a Coleman-de Luccia bubble when another such bubble collides with it. We use a gluing procedure to generalize the results of Freivogel, Horowitz, and Shenker to the case of a general cosmological constant in each bubble and study the resulting spacetimes. The collision breaks the isotropy and homogeneity of the bubble universe and provides a cosmological "axis of evil" which can affect the cosmic microwave background in several unique and potentially detectable ways. Unlike more conventional perturbations to the inflationary initial state, these signatures can survive even relatively long periods of inflation. In addition, we find that for a given collision the observers in the bubble with smaller cosmological constant are safest from collisions with domain walls, possibly providing another anthropic selection principle for small positive vacuum energy.

On the Resilience of a QKD Key Synchronization Protocol for IPsec

description: This paper presents a practical solution to the problem of limited bandwidth in Quantum Key Distribution (QKD)- secured communication through using rapidly rekeyed Internet Protocol security (IPsec) links. QKD is a cutting-edge security technology that provides mathematically proven security by using quantum physical effects and information theoretical axioms to generate a guaranteed non-disclosed stream of encryption keys. Although it has been a field of theoretical research for some time, it has only been producing market-ready solutions for a short period of time. The downside of this technology is that its key generation rate is only around 52,000 key bits per second over a distance of 50 km. As this rate limits the data throughput to the same rate, it is substandard for normal modern communications, especially for securely interconnecting networks. IPsec, on the other hand, is a well-known security protocol that uses classical encryption and is capable of exactly creating site-to-site virtual private networks. This paper presents a solution that combines the performance advantages of IPsec with QKD. The combination sacrifices only a small portion of QKD security by using the generated keys a limited number of times instead of just once. As a part of this, the solution answers the question of how many data bits per key bit make sensible upper and lower boundaries to yield high performance while maintaining high security. While previous approaches complement the Internet Key Exchange protocol (IKE), this approach simplifies the implementation with a new key synchronization concept, proposing a lightweight protocol that uses relatively few, slim control messages and sparse acknowledgement.

description: Evidence has shown that students have significant difficulties in learning about the many representations of fractions. Because of the importance of fractional and proportional reasoning in more advanced mathematical study, such as algebra, an online tutor was developed to help children better understand fractions. Magnitude representations, specifically number line estimation practice questions, were highlighted in this tutor to emphasize the measurement property of fractions and the relationships between fractions and whole numbers. A study in which the type of fractions presented and practiced is manipulated between subjects is proposed to explore the relationship between fraction instruction and transfer to other fraction estimation contexts. It is hypothesized that presenting mixed numbers (fractions greater than one) will elicit better transfer to other types of fractions than presenting proper fractions (fractions less than one).

description: We present an X-ray study of our nearest starburst galaxy IC 10, based on XMM–Newton and Chandra observations. A list of 73 XMM–Newton and 28 Chandra detections of point-like X-ray sources in the field is provided; a substantial fraction of them are likely stellar objects in the Milky Way due to the low Galactic latitude location of IC 10. The brightest source in the IC 10 field, X-1, has a mean 0.3–8.0 keV luminosity of ∼1.2 × 1038 erg s−1 and shows a large variation by a factor of up to ∼6 on time-scales of ∼104 s during the XMM–Newton observation. The X-ray spectra of the source indicate the presence of a multicolour blackbody accretion disc with an inner disc temperature Tin≈ 1.1 keV. These results are consistent with the interpretation of the source as a stellar mass black hole (BH), probably accreting from a Wolf–Rayet (W–R) star companion. We infer the mass of this BH to be ∼4 M⊙ if it is not spinning, or a factor of up to ∼6 higher if there is significant spinning. We also detect an apparent diffuse soft X-ray emission component of IC 10. An effective method is devised to remove the X-ray CCD-readout streaks of X-1 that strongly affect the study of the diffuse component in the XMM–Newton and Chandra observations. We find that the diffuse X-ray morphology is oriented along the optical body of the galaxy and is chiefly associated with starburst regions. The diffuse component can be characterized by an optically thin thermal plasma with a mean temperature of ∼4 × 106 K and a 0.5–2 keV luminosity of ∼8 × 1037 erg s−1, representing only a small fraction of the expected mechanical energy inputs from massive stars in the galaxy. There is evidence that the hot gas is driving outflows from the starburst regions; therefore, the bulk of the energy inputs may be released in a galactic wind.

description: We study the accuracy to be obtained in measuring trilinear $Z^0W^+W^-$ and $γW^+W^-$ couplings in the reaction $e^+e^- \to W^+W^-$ at "New Linear Collider" energies of $500GeV$ to $1000GeV$. We derive simple scaling laws for the sensitivity in the measurement of these couplings. For most couplings the sensitivity increases as $\sqrt{L\cdot s}$, where $L$ denotes the integrated luminosity and $\sqrt s$ denotes the $e^+e^-$ center-of-mass energy. Detailed investigations based on various fits confirm these scaling laws and show that an accuracy of the order of the standard radiative corrections can be reached at the NLC for the design values of the luminosity.

description: Story listening contributes greatly to children’s development, and much research has explored different modalities of story listening in children. However, few studies have utilized haptic sensory input. In the present 2-session study, we implemented a haptic vest that generates haptic sensations on a child’s back as he or she listens to stories. In the first session, child participants rated how realistic a sensation was in comparison to a language phrase. In the second session, the same child participants listened to two stories with the vest on. At the end of each story, the child participants retold the story and then answered 9 comprehension questions. At the end of the session, the child participants indicated which one of the two stories they liked better. Our study showed that children of 6 years old had the ability to associate haptic sensations with semantic meanings. They could also distinguish between sensations with congruent semantic meanings and those with incongruent semantic meanings. From the second session of the study, we observed an increase in children’s comprehension of the stories when they felt story-relevant sensations from the vest. However, this was only true for the 5- and 6-year olds. We did not find a similar effect in child participants’ retelling task. These results confirmed that 6-year olds had developed an association between haptics and semantics. In addition, sensations that were storyrelated improved children’s performance on story comprehension. We showed that haptic sensory input could improve story processing for children.

description: This paper examines the causes of the steep drop in United States infant mortality, 1900-1940. I consider the country’s national experience, as well as the local experience of Pittsburgh. In Section One, I present historical evidence on potential factors in the infant mortality drop. In Section Two, I estimate the effect of several of these factors on the United States infant mortality rate, as well as the Pittsburgh infant mortality rate. I find that the cleaning of market milk and the cleaning of drinking water are associated with significant decreases in infant mortality. My analysis suggests that the effect of the national cleaning of market milk was greater than the effect of the cleaning of water.
A general and fast convolution-based method for peridynamics: applications to elasticity and brittle fracture

description: We introduce a general and fast convolution-based method (FCBM) for peridynamics (PD). Expressing the PD integrals in terms of convolutions and computing them by fast Fourier transform (FFT), we reduce the computational complexity of PD models from O(N^2) to O(Nlog_2 N), with N being the total number of discretization nodes. Initial neighbor identification and storing neighbor information is not required, and, as a consequence, memory allocation scales with O(N) instead of O(N^2), common for existing methods. The method is applicable to bounded domains with arbitrary shapes and boundary conditions via an embedded constraint (EC) approach. We explain the FCBM-EC formulation for certain bond-based and state-based, linear and nonlinear PD models of elasticity and dynamic brittle fracture, as applications. We solve a 3D elastostatic problem and show that the FCBM reduces the computational time from days to hours and from years to days, compared with the original meshfree discretization for PD models. Large-scale computations of PD models are feasible with the new method, and we demonstrate its versatility by simulating, with ease, the difficult problem of multiple crack branching in a brittle plate.

description: The momentum-space bosonization method is extended to the case of a Nambu--Jona-Lasinio type model with vector and axial-vector mesons. The method presented gives the possibility of deriving any meson vertex function to all orders in momenta and to the leading order in $1/N_c$. Two-point functions, which describe one-particle transitions to the hadronic vacuum, and meson self-energies are considered. We find new relations which generalize the well-known KSFR relation and both the first and the second Weinberg sum rules. These result from a consistent treatment of higher order terms in the momentum expansion.

description: Purpose: In the United States, hysterectomies and oophorectomies are frequently performed before menopause for benign conditions. The procedures are associated with reduced breast cancer-specific mortality among White women. The relationship between premenopausal gynecologic surgery and mortality in Black women with breast cancer is unknown. Methods: This investigation used incident invasive cases of breast cancer from Phases 1 and 2 of the Carolina Breast Cancer Study a population-based study that recruited Black and White women in North Carolina between 1993 and 2001. Premenopausal gynecologic surgery was operationalized in three categories: no surgery; hysterectomy with bilateral oophorectomy; hysterectomy with conservation of ≥ 1 ovary. Mortality was ascertained using the National Death Index, last updated in 2016. Multivariable-adjusted Cox Proportional Hazard Models were used to estimate the effect of premenopausal surgery on breast cancer-specific and all-cause mortality Results: Hysterectomy with bilateral oophorectomy was associated with reduced breast cancer-specific mortality (HR 0.68; 95% CI 0.49, 0.96). White and Black women had a similar reduction in breast cancer-specific mortality. (HR among white: 0.66; 95% CI 0.43, 1.02), (HR among Black: 0.67; 95% CI 0.37, 1.21). Conclusions: There was a similar reduction in breast cancer-specific mortality following premenopausal, pre-diagnosis hysterectomy with bilateral oophorectomy across both Black and White women.
Spin-Boson type models analysed using symmetries

description: In this paper we analyse a family of models for a qubit interacting with a bosonic field. These models have a parity symmetry, which enables them to have a ground state even in some infrared irregular cases. In this paper we investigate this symmetry and consider higher order perturbations of field operators to any even order. We find the domain of selfadjointness and decompose the Hamiltonian into two fiber operators each defined on Fock space. We then prove an HVZ theorem for each operator under minimal conditions, and show that the ground state is always associated with the same fiber operator, while eigenvalues of the other fiber operator corresponds to exited states. Thus the problem of analysing the ground state and exited states is reduced to a simpler problem on Fock space.

description: The epidemic spread of Xylella fastidiosa in Apulia (southern Italy) with the continuous expansions of the border of the infected area, incited several investigations into the genetics and genomics of the strains associated with the infections. These studies were aimed to infer genetic correlations with known strains of the bacterium as well as among the initially discovered Apulian outbreaks and those that emerged from time to time. MLST and full genome sequencing provided clear evidence that a single genotype, denoted ST53, of the subspecies pauca was causing the epidemics on olives and other hosts. In this work, we tested a panel of SSR markers in the attempt to disclose information on the genetic diversity and evolution of the bacterial population, even if, given the reduced spatial and temporal scales of this recent epidemic, a relatively low level of variation was expected. Five SSR markers selected among those previously reported in the literature proved to be polymorphic for the ST53-isolates from Apulia, that even if yielding a small number of alleles (from 2 to 5), when combined provide a good resolution, distinguishing several genotypes. Additionally, the design of a new set of 12 SSR markers for fine-scale genotyping of the Apulian isolates, yielded higher number of allelic variation, paving the way to perform micro-evolutionary and epidemiological studies. Indeed, the successful use of these markers on DNA plant samples, will allow a large-scale study, taking advantage of a six-year dataset of plant DNA collected and stored in the framework of the official monitoring programme started in the region at the beginning of the epidemics in 2013 and covering the entire demarcated area in Apulia that currently exceeds 200,000 ha.

description: We propose a three-pulse coherent ultrafast optical technique that is particularly sensitive to two-exciton correlations. Two Liouville-space pathways for the density matrix contribute to this signal which reveals double quantum coherences when displayed as a two-dimensional correlation plot. Two-exciton couplings spread the cross peaks along both axes, creating a characteristic highly resolved pattern. This level of detail is not available from conventional one-dimensional four-wave mixing or other two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy signals such as the photo echo, in which two-exciton couplings show up along a single axis and are highly congested.

description: The seminal work of Waldhausen, Farrell and Jones, Igusa, and Weiss and Williams shows that the homotopy groups in low degrees of the space of homeomorphisms of a closed Riemannian manifold of negative sectional curvature can be expressed as a functor of the fundamental group of the manifold. To determine this functor, however, it remains to determine the homotopy groups of the topological Whitehead spectrum of the circle. The cyclotomic trace of B okstedt, Hsiang, and Madsen and a theorem of Dundas, in turn, lead to an expression for these homotopy groups in terms of the equivariant homotopy groups of the homotopy fiber of the map from the topological Hochschild T-spectrum of the sphere spectrum to that of the ring of integers induced by the Hurewicz map. We evaluate the latter homotopy groups, and hence, the homotopy groups of the topological Whitehead spectrum of the circle in low degrees. The result extends earlier work by Anderson and Hsiang and by Igusa and complements recent work by Grunewald, Klein, and Macko.
