description: Investigation into the properties and structure of unstable nuclei far from stability remains a key avenue of research in modern nuclear physics. These efforts are motivated by the continual observation of unexpected structure phenomena in nuclei with unusual proton-to-neutron ratios. In recent decades, laser spectroscopy techniques have made significant contributions in our understanding of exotic nuclei in different mass regions encompassing almost the entire nuclear chart. This is achieved through determining multiple fundamental properties of nuclear ground and isomeric states, such as nuclear spins, magnetic dipole and electric quadrupole moments and charge radii, via the measurement of hyperfine structures and isotope shifts in the atomic or ionic spectra of the nuclei of interest. These properties, when measured with sufficient precision for a long range of isotopes, offer prominent tests of recently developed state-of-the-art theory and help to stimulate new developments to improve the many-body methods and nucleon-nucleon interactions at the core of these models. With the aim of exploring more exotic short-lived nuclei located ever closer to the proton and neutron driplines, laser spectroscopy techniques, with their continuous technological developments towards higher resolution and higher sensitivity, are extensively employed at current- and next-generation radioactive ion beam facilities worldwide. Ongoing efforts in parallel promise to make even more exotic species available for study at next-generation facilities. Very recently, an innovative application of laser spectroscopy on molecules containing short-lived nuclei has been demonstrated offering additional opportunities for several fields of research, e.g. fundamental symmetry studies and astrophysics.

description: The study aimed to determine the relationship between the seven Learning Organisation Dimensions and polytechnic teachers’ Collective Efficacy. The study utilized a sequential explanatory mixed method design, quantitative followed by qualitative research. A total of 165 respondents from Politeknik Sultan Azlan Shah (PSAS) took part in the quantitative part of the study. Respondents were selected by using stratified and simple random sampling. A modified version of the Dimension of Learning Organisation Questionnaire (DLOQ) of Watkins and Marsick (2004) was used in collecting quantitative data. The DLOQ was subjected to the face and content validity, and Cronbach’s alpha value of α = .894 was obtained. Semi-structured interview was used in collecting data for the qualitative phase of the study. Quantitative data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics by the aid of the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) Version 22 for Windows. Qualitative data were analysed by using recurrent theme analysis aided by Transana software. Findings from the study revealed that the Learning Organisation Dimensions had a strong and positive correlation to Collective Efficacy where r = .819 (p < .01). Results of the Multiple Regression analysis showed that Collaborative and Team Learning (β = .39, t (149) = 5.98), Empower People (β = .38, t(149) = 6.11) and Create System (β = .36, t(149) = 5.39) can be considered as predictors of Collective Efficacy. The research participants however, considered Collaborative and Team Learning to be the best predictor. They opined that it helps in developing the direction and structure of the organisation, facilitate goal accomplishment, helps involve or inform others for sharing information and helps build an effective working relationship and generating ideas.

description: Eosinophils are potent sources of inflammatory and toxic mediators, yet they reside in large numbers in the healthy intestine without causing tissue damage. We show here that intestinal eosinophils were specifically adapted to their environment and underwent substantial transcriptomic changes. Intestinal eosinophils upregulated genes relating to the immune response, cell–cell communication, extracellular matrix remodeling, and the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR), a ligand-activated transcription factor with broad functions in intestinal homeostasis. Eosinophils from AHR-deficient mice failed to fully express the intestinal gene expression program, including extracellular matrix organization and cell junction pathways. AHR-deficient eosinophils were functionally impaired in the adhesion to and degradation of extracellular matrix, were more prone to degranulation, and had an extended life span. Lack of AHR in eosinophils had wider effects on the intestinal immune system, affecting the T cell compartment in nave and helminth-infected mice. Our study demonstrates that the response to environmental triggers via AHR partially shapes tissue adaptation of eosinophils in the small intestine.

description: Excerpts from the report: U.S. agricultural exports advanced to a record $6.3 billion in calendar year 1964 from the previous calendar year record of $5.6 billion in 1963. A substantial part of the 14 percent gain was brought about by record exports of wheat, soybeans, protein meal, rice, corn, inedible tallow, and hides and skins. Advances occurred also for such products as vegetable oils, cotton, lard, meats, and dairy products. Small declines occurred for rye, vegetables, and tobacco. Commercial sales for dollars, amounting to about three-fourths of the total, accounted for nearly all of the gain. Exports for dollars totaled an estimated $4.6 billion in 1964 compared with $4.0 billion in 1963. Exports under Government-financed programs totaled an estimated $1.7 billion, slightly above the level of a year earlier.

description: We present the first comprehensive release of photometric redshifts (photo-z's) from the Cosmic Assembly Near-Infrared Deep Extragalactic Legacy Survey (CANDELS) team. We use statistics based upon the Quantile-Quantile (Q--Q) plot to identify biases and signatures of underestimated or overestimated errors in photo-z probability density functions (PDFs) produced by six groups in the collaboration; correcting for these effects makes the resulting PDFs better match the statistical definition of a PDF. After correcting each group's PDF, we explore three methods of combining the different groups' PDFs for a given object into a consensus curve. Two of these methods are based on identifying the minimum f-divergence curve, i.e., the PDF that is closest in aggregate to the other PDFs in a set (analogous to the median of an array of numbers). We demonstrate that these techniques yield improved results using sets of spectroscopic redshifts independent of those used to optimize PDF modifications. The best photo-z PDFs and point estimates are achieved with the minimum f-divergence using the best 4 PDFs for each object (mFDa4) and the Hierarchical Bayesian (HB4) methods, respectively. The HB4 photo-z point estimates produced $σ_{\rm NMAD} = 0.0227/0.0189$ and $|Δz/(1+z)| > 0.15$ outlier fraction = 0.067/0.019 for spectroscopic and 3D-HST redshifts, respectively. Finally, we describe the structure and provide guidance for the use of the CANDELS photo-z catalogs, which are available at https://archive.stsci.edu/hlsp/candels.

description: Brownian motion of a mobile impurity in a bath is affected by spin-orbit coupling (SOC). Here, we discuss a Caldeira-Leggett-type model that can be used to propose and interpret quantum simulators of this problem in cold Bose gases. First, we derive a master equation that describes the model and explore it in a one-dimensional (1D) setting. To validate the standard assumptions needed for our derivation, we analyze available experimental data without SOC; as a byproduct, this analysis suggests that the quench dynamics of the impurity is beyond the 1D Bose-polaron approach at temperatures currently accessible in a cold-atom laboratory -- motion of the impurity is mainly driven by dissipation. For systems with SOC, we demonstrate that 1D spin-orbit coupling can be 'gauged out' even in the presence of dissipation -- the information about SOC is incorporated in the initial conditions. Observables sensitive to this information (such as spin densities) can be used to study formation of steady spin polarization domains during quench dynamics.

description: Recently emerged variants of SARS-CoV-2 contain in their surface spike glycoproteins multiple substitutions associated with increased transmission and resistance to neutralising antibodies. We have examined the structure and receptor binding properties of spike proteins from the B.1.1.7 (Alpha) and B.1.351 (Beta) variants to better understand the evolution of the virus in humans. Spikes of both variants have the same mutation, N501Y, in the receptorbinding domains. This substitution confers tighter ACE2 binding, dependent on the common earlier substitution, D614G. Each variant spike has acquired other key changes in structure that likely impact virus pathogenesis. The spike from the Alpha variant is more stable against disruption upon binding ACE2 receptor than all other spikes studied. This feature is linked to the acquisition of a more basic substitution at the S1-S2 furin site (also observed for the variants of concern Delta, Kappa, and Omicron) which allows for near-complete cleavage. In the Beta variant spike, the presence of a new substitution, K417N (also observed in the Omicron variant), in combination with the D614G, stabilises a more open spike trimer, a conformation required for receptor binding. Our observations suggest ways these viruses have evolved to achieve greater transmissibility in humans.
The Experience of Hate: a Multidimensional Exploratory Study on Hating Things, Individuals and Groups

description: Although many psychological theories about hate have been emerging since the beginnings of the 20th century, there is still a lack of consensus among scholars about its nature and operationalization. Additionally, there is considerable theorizing about what hate is, how it develops, and how it differs from other discrete emotions such as anger, hostility, contempt, or disgust (e.g. Allport, 1979; Sternberg & Sternberg, 2008). However, due to some methodological difficulties associated with studying hate, a more systematical data-based research is needed and only recently, a renewed interest in conducting data-driven studies on hate has emerged (Fischer, Halperin, Canetti, & Jasini, 2018). Despite this lacking of evidence for the understanding of hate feelings, the concept is broadly used in the public discourse and often offered as a potential explanation of important socio-political struggles like terrorism (Mills, Freilich, & Chermak, 2017) or religiously motivated crimes (Müller & Schwarz, 2018). Interestingly, some other related terms such as ideological intolerance or affective polarization are used interchangeably with hate for these purposes. Therefore, this exploratory pilot study aims to provide some first insights into how people conceptualize hate and provide empirical information for future correlational and experimental studies on hate. For this purpose, we will collect data from a representative adult sample in the U.S. and we will address three main objects of hate: a) things; b) individuals; and c) groups, while measuring participants’ experience of hate in relation to: a) cognitive appraisals; b) intensity; c) duration: d) associated discrete emotions; e) motivations; and f) associated action tendencies. Socio-demographic variables including political ideology and religiosity will be taken into account.

description: During the Covid-19 pandemic, online meetings became common for daily teamwork in the home office. To understand the opportunities and challenges of meeting in virtual reality (VR) compared to video conferences, we conducted the weekly team meetings of our human-computer interaction research lab on five off-the-shelf online meeting platforms over four months. After each of the 12 meetings, we asked the participants (N = 32) to share their experiences, resulting in 200 completed online questionnaires. We evaluated the ratings of the overall meeting experience and conducted an exploratory factor analysis of the quantitative data to compare VR meetings and video calls in terms of meeting involvement and co-presence. In addition, a thematic analysis of the qualitative data revealed genuine insights covering five themes: spatial aspects, meeting atmosphere, expression of emotions, meeting productivity, and user needs. We reflect on our findings gained under authentic working conditions, derive lessons learned for running successful team meetings in VR supporting different kinds of meeting formats, and discuss the team's long-term platform choice.

description: It is well-known that traversable wormhole solutions to the Einstein equations require the existence of an exotic matter source violating the null energy condition. An apparent exception is the overcharged Kerr-Newman-NUT solution of the Einstein-Maxwell equations, which has all the properties of a geodesically complete, traversable wormhole spacetime. We show that the exotic matter sourcing this consists in two counter-rotating tensionless straight cosmic strings -- the Misner-Dirac strings -- which, as expected, violate the null energy condition. The wormhole possesses an ergoregion, but no superradiance. The geodesic motion in this spacetime is briefly discussed, and the absence of closed circular null geodesics is demonstrated.

description: Excerpts from the Introduction: U.S. agricultural exports account for about one-fifth of world exports of these commodities. In fiscal 1963-64 nearly three-quarters of the total consisted of commercial sales for dollars. Slightly over one-fourth moved under Government financed programs, including: (1) Sales for foreign currency; (2) barter of agricultural commodities for strategic materials to be stockpiled and for goods, equipment, and services required abroad by other U.S. Government agencies; (3) donations; and (4) long-term supply and dollar credit sales. This article reviews the extent of export payment assistance to U.S. exports of farm products for fiscal 1963-64 and summarizes the developments in export payment programs during the past year.

description: We evaluate the configuration exponents of various ensembles of Hamiltonian paths drawn on random planar bicubic maps. These exponents are estimated from the extrapolations of exact enumeration results for finite sizes and compared with their theoretical predictions based on the KPZ relations, as applied to their regular counterpart on the honeycomb lattice. We show that a naive use of these relations does not reproduce the measured exponents but that a simple modification in their application may possibly correct the observed discrepancy. We show that a similar modification is required to reproduce via the KPZ formulas some exactly known exponents for the problem of unweighted fully packed loops on random planar bicubic maps.

description: Background, Purpose/Objective: The complex ecology of resettled refugee health requires solutions beyond the scope of one particular discipline. To facilitate practitioner efforts working in interdisciplinary teams to provide refugee care and support, providers must overcome discipline-specific differences in conceptualization, communication, and prioritization. Our study aims to identify strategies in interdisciplinary teamwork and education for the common goal of supporting refugees.Method: The Schools of Medicine, Public Health, and Social Work at UNC-Chapel Hill piloted a course on refugee health, in which small interdisciplinary teams supported local resettled refugee clients. We conducted semi-structured individual interviews with students in the course about their experiences working with refugee clients as part of an interdisciplinary unit. Our objective was to examine 1) evolving  understanding of disciplinary roles, 2) perspectives on team goals and function, and 3) effective strategies to harness interdisciplinary strengths to support recently resettled refugees.Results: Based on preliminary analysis, major barriers to effective  interdisciplinary teamwork included: lack of clarity on individual and team roles, uncertain team-client relationship dynamics, and difficulties in coordination with external service providers. Establishing a collective team identity and norms improved cohesiveness and perceived  effectiveness. Team composition by gender, experiential background, disciplinary predominance did not appear to affect team outcomes.Conclusion: Recently resettled refugees may benefit from the support and expertise of multiple disciplines, particularly in the areas of health and wellness. Results of this study will illustrate practices of interdisciplinary teamwork and education which promote our collective ability to support refugee health and wellness.

description: Mandal and Jarzynski have proposed a fully autonomous information heat engine, consisting of a demon, a mass and a memory register interacting with a thermal reservoir. This device converts thermal energy into mechanical work by writing information to a memory register, or conversely, erasing information by consuming mechanical work. Here, we derive a speed limit inequality between the relaxation time of state transformation and the distance between the initial and final distributions, where the combination of the dynamical activity and entropy production plays an important role. Such inequality provides a hint that a speed-performance trade-off relation exists between the relaxation time to functional state and the average production. To obtain fast functionalization while maintaining the performance, we show that the relaxation dynamics of information heat engine can be accelerated significantly by devising an optimal initial state of the demon. Our design principle is inspired by the so-called Mpemba effect, where water freezes faster when initially heated.

description: Modeling interaction dynamics to generate robot trajectories that enable a robot to adapt and react to a human's actions and intentions is critical for efficient and effective collaborative Human-Robot Interactions (HRI). Learning from Demonstration (LfD) methods from Human-Human Interactions (HHI) have shown promising results, especially when coupled with representation learning techniques. However, such methods for learning HRI either do not scale well to high dimensional data or cannot accurately adapt to changing via-poses of the interacting partner. We propose Multimodal Interactive Latent Dynamics (MILD), a method that couples deep representation learning and probabilistic machine learning to address the problem of two-party physical HRIs. We learn the interaction dynamics from demonstrations, using Hidden Semi-Markov Models (HSMMs) to model the joint distribution of the interacting agents in the latent space of a Variational Autoencoder (VAE). Our experimental evaluations for learning HRI from HHI demonstrations show that MILD effectively captures the multimodality in the latent representations of HRI tasks, allowing us to decode the varying dynamics occurring in such tasks. Compared to related work, MILD generates more accurate trajectories for the controlled agent (robot) when conditioned on the observed agent's (human) trajectory. Notably, MILD can learn directly from camera-based pose estimations to generate trajectories, which we then map to a humanoid robot without the need for any additional training.

description: Given the importance of accurate team rankings in American college football (CFB) -- due to heavy title and playoff implications -- strides have been made to improve evaluation metrics across statistical categories, going from basic averages (e.g. points scored per game) to metrics that adjust for a team's strength of schedule, but one aspect that hasn't been emphasized is the complementary nature of American football. Despite the same team's offensive and defensive units typically consisting of separate player sets, some aspects of your team's defensive (offensive) performance may affect the complementary side: turnovers forced by your defense could lead to easier scoring chances for your offense, while your offense's ability to control the clock may help your defense. For 2009-2019 CFB seasons, we incorporate natural splines with group penalty approaches to identify the most consistently influential features of complementary football in a data-driven way, conducting partially constrained optimization in order to additionally guarantee the full adjustment for strength of schedule and homefield factor. We touch on the issues arising due to reverse-causal nature of certain within-game dynamics, discussing several potential remedies. Lastly, game outcome prediction performances are compared across several ranking adjustment approaches for method validation purposes.

description: Objective: We measured the association between early breastfeeding experience and maternal mood at two months postpartum. Methods: We used logistic regression to evaluate the association between early breastfeeding experience and maternal mood, quantified with the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), among women who initiated breastfeeding in the Infant Feeding Practices Survey II. Women reported their early breastfeeding experiences at 1 month, and they completed the EPDS at 2 months. Results: In the neonatal period, 2586 women reported ever breastfeeding, among whom 223 (8.6%) met criteria for major depression (EPDS ≥13) at 2 months postpartum. Women who reported disliking breastfeeding in the first week were more likely to meet criteria for major depression at 2 months (OR 1.42, 95% CI 1.04-1.93), adjusting for maternal age, parity, education, ethnicity, and postnatal WIC participation. We also found that women who were depressed were more likely to report severe breastfeeding pain in the first day (adjusted OR 1.96, 95% CI 1.17-3.29, vs. no pain), the first week, (adjusted OR 2.13, 95% CI 0.74-6.15, vs no pain), and in the second week (adjusted OR 2.24, 95% CI 1.18-4.26, vs. no pain). Conclusions: Women who disliked breastfeeding or experienced severe pain in the neonatal period were more likely to have depressive symptoms at 2 months postpartum. Early breastfeeding difficulties may identify a subgroup of women at high risk for postpartum depression.

description: Extragalactic foregrounds are known to generate significant biases in temperature-based CMB lensing reconstruction. Several techniques, which include ``source hardening'' and ``shear-only estimators'' have been proposed to mitigate contamination and have been shown to be very effective at reducing foreground-induced biases. Here we extend both techniques to polarization, which will be an essential component of CMB lensing reconstruction for future experiments, and investigate the ``large-lens'' limit analytically to gain insight on the origin and scaling of foreground biases, as well as the sensitivity to their profiles.Using simulations of polarized point sources, we estimate the expected bias to both Simons Observatory and CMB-S4 like (polarization-based) lensing reconstruction, finding that biases to the former are minuscule while those to the latter are potentially non-negligible at small scales ($L\sim1000-2000$). In particular, we show that for a CMB-S4 like experiment, an optimal linear combination of point-source hardened estimators can reduce the (point-source induced) bias to the CMB lensing power spectrum by up to two orders of magnitude, at a $\sim4\%$ noise cost relative to the global minimum variance estimator.

description: Excerpts from the report: U.S. agricultural exports in fiscal 1963-64 reached a record high of $6,074 million, nearly $1 billion above a year earlier. Practically all of the increase was in commercial sales for dollars, which totaled $4,489 million. Dollar sales to all areas increased, with the major increases occurring to Europe and Asia. The continued advance in economic activity in Western Europe and Japan, stronger demand for meat and livestock consumer products, growth in livestock industries in these countries (resulting in increased demand for feed grains, oilseeds, and high-protein meal), and unfavorable wheat harvests in Western Europe and the Soviet Union contributed to the rise in exports for dollars. Exports under Government-financed programs totaled $1,585 million, slightly above the previous year. Those to Asia accounted for over half the total. Those to Africa and Latin America, which have increased substantially over the past 5 years, represented one-fifth and one-eighth of program exports.

description: In this work we explore the chemical-property phase diagram of the AV$_3$Sb$_5$ family through A-site alloying. We demonstrate full miscibility of the alkali-site, highlighting that the three parent compounds are the terminal ends of a single solid-solution. Using both polycrystalline and single crystal methods, we map the dependence of the two primary electronic instabilities: (1) the onset of charge density wave (CDW) order ($T_\text{CDW}$) and (2) the onset of superconductivity ($T_\text{c}$) with alkali-site composition. We show continuous trends in both $T_\text{CDW}$ and $T_\text{c}$, including a region of enhanced CDW stability in K$_{1-x}$Cs$_{x}$V$_3$Sb$_5$ alloys. Together, our results open new routes for chemical perturbation and exploration of the chemical-property relationships in the class of AV$_3$Sb$_5$ kagome superconductors.

description: Harmonic oscillators with multiple abrupt jumps in their frequencies have been investigated by several authors during the last decades. We investigate the dynamics of a quantum harmonic oscillator with initial frequency $ω_0$, that undergoes a sudden jump to a frequency $ω_1$ and, after a certain time interval, suddenly returns to its initial frequency. Using the Lewis-Riesenfeld method of dynamical invariants, we present expressions for the mean energy value, the mean number of excitations, and the transition probabilities, considering the initial state different from the fundamental. We show that the mean energy of the oscillator, after the jumps, is equal or greater than the one before the jumps, even when $ω_1<ω_0$. We also show that, for particular values of the time interval between the jumps, the oscillator returns to the same initial state.

description: Adding a topological theta term to the action of $\mathcal{N}{=}\,1$ $D{=}4$ super Yang-Mills theory modifies its Nicolai map. For the BPS value of the theta angle a chiral version of the map emerges, which allows for a considerable simplification compared to the non-chiral formulation. We exhibit these improvements to all orders in perturbation theory and compute the map to fourth order in the coupling on the Laudau-gauge hypersurface. The second-order contribution vanishes, and antisymmetrizations are more manifest. All checks are verified to third order.
