description: Recent experiments suggest that the Ising pyrochlore magnets ${\rm Ho_{2}Ti_{2}O_{7}}$ and ${\rm Dy_{2}Ti_{2}O_{7}}$ display qualitative properties of the spin ice model proposed by Harris {\it et al.} \prl {\bf 79}, 2554 (1997). We discuss the dipolar energy scale present in both these materials and consider how they can display spin ice behavior {\it despite} the presence of long range interactions. Specifically, we present numerical simulations and a mean field analysis of pyrochlore Ising systems in the presence of nearest neighbor exchange and long range dipolar interactions. We find that two possible phases can occur, a long range ordered antiferromagnetic one and the other dominated by spin ice features. Our quantitative theory is in very good agreement with experimental data on both ${\rm Ho_{2}Ti_{2}O_{7}}$ and ${\rm Dy_{2}Ti_{2}O_{7}}$. We suggest that the nearest neighbor exchange in ${\rm Dy_{2}Ti_{2}O_{7}}$ is {\it antiferromagnetic} and that spin ice behavior is induced by long range dipolar interactions.

Response invalidity in empirical research: Causes, detection, and remedies
Creators: name: Edwards, Jeffrey R.
Publisher: name: Wiley
Year: 2019

description:
Research in behavioral operations management and related areas relies heavily on self‐report measures. The utility of such measures depends on the extent to which the responses are valid, meaning they correspond to the thoughts and beliefs of respondents with regard to the phenomena under study. Response validity is undermined when respondents are unwilling or unable to provide adequate responses to survey questions, an issue that has generated an array of methods for screening and evaluating survey data and dealing with dubious responses. This article uses the work of Abbey and Meloy (2017) as a point of departure to examine the causes, detection, and remedies of response invalidity. The article concludes with recommendations for future research that treats response validity and its dimensions as methods factors that should be formally incorporated into statistical models.

description: Leading logarithms (LLs) in massless non-renormalizable effective field theories (EFTs) can be computed with the help of non-linear recurrence relations. These recurrence relations follow from the fundamental requirements of unitarity, analyticity and crossing symmetry of scattering amplitudes and generalize the renormalization group technique for the case of non-renormalizable EFTs. We review the existing exact solutions of non-linear recurrence relations relevant for field theoretical applications. We introduce the new class of quantum field theories (quasi-renormalizable field theories) in which the resummation of LLs for $2 \to 2$ scattering amplitudes gives rise to a possibly infinite number of the Landau poles.

description: Phytochemical study of the leaves of Styrax annamensis Guillaumin resulted in the isolation of a new natural product egonol-3’’-sulphate (1), and two new derivatives egonol-3-methyl-D-galactopyranoside (2) and 7-methoxy-2-(3’,4’-methylenedioxyphenyl)-benzofuran-5-carboxamide (3). Their chemical structures were ­elucidated by spectroscopic data. Compounds 1 and 3 significantly established a great role for the chemotaxonomic aspect. Compound 1 showed cytotoxicity against four cancer cell lines KB, HepG2, Lu, and MCF7 with the IC50 values of 84.90–101.69 µg/mL, and exhibited acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory activity with the IC50 value of 97.08 µg/mL.

description: Introduction: We explored the long-term evolution of direct healthcare costs for inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) using a population-level database in a country with an escalating burden of IBD. Methods: We searched the database of the Korean National Health Insurance Claims, which covers more than 97% of the South Korean population. An IBD diagnosis was defined as the combination of a billing code for Crohn’s disease (CD: K50.xx) or ulcerative colitis (UC: K51.xx) and at least one claim for IBD-specific drugs. Between 2006 and 2015, a total of 59,447 patients (CD: 17,677; UC: 41,770) were included. Results: The total and mean cost per capita increased significantly over time. In the last year of the study (2015), the cost for anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) therapy accounted for 68.8% (CD) and 48.8% (UC) of the total cost. Age at diagnosis (<20 years vs. ≥30 years) and anti-TNF use were independent predictors of increased total IBD cost. Anti-TNF therapy was the strongest predictor of high-cost outliers (designated as the top 20 percentile of the total costs) for IBD (OR: 160.4; 95% CI: 89.0–289.2). The mean cost among patients with newly diagnosed CD increased significantly over the 8-year follow-up period (p = .03), while costs associated with UC remained stable. Only medication costs increased significantly during the follow-up period for CD. Conclusions: Over the past 10 years, the increased usage of anti-TNF agents has been the key driver of IBD-related healthcare costs. Long-term cost-cutting strategies for patients with CD are warranted.

Ferromagnetic transition and phase diagram of the one-dimensional Hubbard model with next-nearest-neighbor hopping

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1997
Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)

description: We study the phase diagram of the one-dimensional Hubbard model with next-nearest-neighbor hopping using exact diagonalization, the density-matrix renormalization group, the Edwards variational ansatz, and an adaptation of weak-coupling calculations on the two-chain Hubbard model. We find that a substantial region of the strong-coupling phase diagram is ferromagnetic, and that three physically different limiting cases are connected in one ferromagnetic phase. At a point in the phase diagram at which there are two Fermi points at weak coupling, we study carefully the phase transition from the paramagnetic state to the fully polarized one as a function of the on-site Coulomb repulsion. We present evidence that the transition is second order and determine the critical exponents numerically. In this parameter regime, the system can be described as a Luttinger liquid at weak coupling. We extract the Luttinger-liquid parameters and show how their behavior differs from that of the nearest-neighbor Hubbard model. The general weak-coupling phase diagram can be mapped onto that of the two-chain Hubbard model. We exhibit explicitly the adapted phase diagram and determine its validity by numerically calculating spin and charge gaps using the density-matrix renormalization group.

description: An undescribed dammarane triterpenoid saponin Cypaliuruside F was isolated from the leaves of Cyclocarya paliurus in our preliminary study. The MTT assay, flow cytometry, cell scratch, and DAPI staining were used to detect the antitumor effects of Cypaliuruside F on HepG2 cells. Subsequently, network pharmacology and molecular docking analysis were used to analyse the key targets of Cypaliuruside F against HCC. In addition, a Western blot was performed to determine the effects of Cypaliuruside F on the expression of key proteins in HepG2 cells. The experimental results indicated that the damarane triterpenoid saponin Cypaliuruside F from Cyclocarya paliurus inhibits the proliferation of HepG2 cells by inducing apoptosis and cell cycle arrest. These changes may promote the apoptosis of HepG2 cells by inhibiting the expression of mTOR, STAT3, and Bcl-2 while activating Bax.

description: Accurately modeling traffic speeds is a fundamental part of efficient intelligent transportation systems. Nowadays, with the widespread deployment of GPS-enabled devices, it has become possible to crowdsource the collection of speed information to road users (e.g. through mobile applications or dedicated in-vehicle devices). Despite its rather wide spatial coverage, crowdsourced speed data also brings very important challenges, such as the highly variable measurement noise in the data due to a variety of driving behaviors and sample sizes. When not properly accounted for, this noise can severely compromise any application that relies on accurate traffic data. In this article, we propose the use of heteroscedastic Gaussian processes (HGP) to model the time-varying uncertainty in large-scale crowdsourced traffic data. Furthermore, we develop a HGP conditioned on sample size and traffic regime (SRC-HGP), which makes use of sample size information (probe vehicles per minute) as well as previous observed speeds, in order to more accurately model the uncertainty in observed speeds. Using 6 months of crowdsourced traffic data from Copenhagen, we empirically show that the proposed heteroscedastic models produce significantly better predictive distributions when compared to current state-of-the-art methods for both speed imputation and short-term forecasting tasks.

JAMA Internal Medicine is issuing a call for RCTs that advance health and health equity by studying the efficacy and/or effectiveness of clinical, policy, and public health approaches. We are interested in publishing traditional individual-level, parallel group RTCs, aswell as studies using other randomization approaches, such as Bayesian adaptive, cluster-randomization, stepped-wedge, crossover, and waitlist designs.

It is argued that a transition into the paired state, described by a Pfaffian wave function, may be induced if the short-range part of the interaction is softened by increasing the thickness of the two-dimensional electron system.

In 2023, the number of homeless US individuals on any given day was more than 650 000, an increase of more than 70 000 from just 1 year earlier. Individuals experiencing homelessness represent all segments of society: 30% are members of families with children, and 20% are older than 55 years. There are substantial racial disparities; 37% of unhoused people are Black (compared with 13% of US population), while Latino/Hispanic individuals comprise more than half of the recent increase in people experiencing homelessness.
Independent Ion Migration in Suspensions of Strongly Interacting Charged Colloidal Spheres

description: We report on sytematic measurements of the low frequency conductivity in aequous supensions of highly charged colloidal spheres. System preparation in a closed tubing system results in precisely controlled number densities between 1E16/m3 and 1E19/m^3 (packing fractions between 1E-7 and 1E-2) and electrolyte concentrations between 1E-7 and 1E-3 mol/l. Due to long ranged Coulomb repulsion some of the systems show a pronounced fluid or crystalline order. Under deionized conditions we find s to depend linearily on the packing fraction with no detectable influence of the phase transitions. Further at constant packing fraction s increases sublinearily with increasing number of dissociable surface groups N. As a function of c the conductivity shows pronounced differences depending on the kind of electrolyte used. We propose a simple yet powerful model based on independent migration of all species present and additivity of the respective conductivity contributions. It takes account of small ion macro-ion interactions in terms of an effectivly transported charge. The model successfully describes our qualitatively complex experimental observations. It further facilitates quantitative estimates of conductivity over a wide range of particle and experimental parameters.

description: We analyse people’s attitudes to autonomous vehicles (AVs), i.e. driverless cars and trucks, using Eurobarometer data relating to November/December 2014 on approximately 1000 people in each EU country. People tend to be lukewarm to AVs, particularly driverless cars. However, a simple average hides the fact that many people, young and old, are totally hostile to the concept and a smaller number totally in favour. AVs are part of a technological development linked in general to robots, and regression analysis finds attitudes tend to be linked to both general attitudes to robots and individual self-interest relating specifically to AVs. Consistent with the literature, we find the young to be more in favour than the elderly. There are other differences, with males, those in cities and the more educated being more in favour, as well as differences between countries. There is also some evidence that support for AVs is greater in countries with high accident rates.
Highlights:•Attitudes to AVs are determined by both self-interest and robottechnophobia.•People are less hostile to driverless trucks than driverless cars.•45% (8.6%) are totally uncomfortable (comfortable) with driverless cars.•The young, men, the well educated and urban dwellers are most in favour of AVs.

description: We prove a Desch-Schappacher type perturbation theorem for one-parameter semigroups on Banach spaces which are not strongly continuous for the norm, but possess a weaker continuity property. In this paper we chose to work in the framework of bi-continuous semigroups. This choice has the advantage that we can treat in a unified manner two important classes of semigroups: implemented semigroups on the Banach algebra $\mathscr{L}(E)$ of bounded, linear operators on a Banach space $E$, and semigroups on the space of bounded and continuous functions over a Polish space induced by jointly continuous semiflows. For both of these classes we present an application of our abstract perturbation theorem

description:
Background: Many interventions for widescale distribution of rapid antigen tests for COVID-19 have utilized online, direct-to-consumer (DTC) ordering systems; however, little is known about the sociodemographic characteristics of home-test users. We aimed to characterize the patterns of online orders for rapid antigen tests and determine geospatial and temporal associations with neighborhood characteristics and community incidence of COVID-19, respectively. Methods: This observational study analyzed online, DTC orders for rapid antigen test kits from beneficiaries of the Say Yes! Covid Test program from March to November 2021 in five communities: Louisville, Kentucky; Indianapolis, Indiana; Fulton County, Georgia; O’ahu, Hawaii; and Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti, Michigan. Using spatial autoregressive models, we assessed the geospatial associations of test kit distribution with Census block-level education, income, age, population density, and racial distribution and Census tract-level Social Vulnerability Index. Lag association analyses were used to measure the association between online rapid antigen kit orders and community-level COVID-19 incidence. Results: In total, 164,402 DTC test kits were ordered during the intervention. Distribution of tests at all sites were significantly geospatially clustered at the block-group level (Moran’s I: p < 0.001); however, education, income, age, population density, race, and social vulnerability index were inconsistently associated with test orders across sites. In Michigan, Georgia, and Kentucky, there were strong associations between same-day COVID-19 incidence and test kit orders (Michigan: r = 0.89, Georgia: r = 0.85, Kentucky: r = 0.75). The incidence of COVID-19 during the current day and the previous 6-days increased current DTC orders by 9.0 (95% CI = 1.7, 16.3), 3.0 (95% CI = 1.3, 4.6), and 6.8 (95% CI = 3.4, 10.2) in Michigan, Georgia, and Kentucky, respectively. There was no same-day or 6-day lagged correlation between test kit orders and COVID-19 incidence in Indiana. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that online ordering is not associated with geospatial clustering based on sociodemographic characteristics. Observed temporal preferences for DTC ordering can guide public health messaging around DTC testing programs.

description: This article gives an overview of what Fog computing is, it’s uses and the comparison between Fog computing and Cloud computing. Cloud is performing well in today’s World and boosting the ability to use the internet more than ever. Cloud computing gradually developed a method to use the benefits of it in most of the organizations. Fog computing can be apparent both in bigdata structures and large cloud systems, making reference to the growing complications in retrieving the data accurately. Fog computing is outspreading cloud computing by transporting computation on the advantage of network systems such as cell phone devices or fixed nodes with in-built data storage. Fog provides important points of improved abilities, strong security controls, and processes, establish data transmission capabilities carefully and in a flexible manner. This paper gives an overview of the connections and attributes for both Fog computing and cloud varies by outline, preparation, directions, and strategies for associations and clients. This also explains how Fog computing is flexible and provide better service for data processing by overwhelming low network bandwidth instead of moving whole data to the cloud platform.

description: We explore the manifestation of quantum fluctuations across the superconductor-insulator transition (SIT) in three different local measurements: the two-particle density of states $P(\mathbf{r},ω)$, compressibility $κ(\mathbf{r})$, and diamagnetic susceptibility $χ(\mathbf{r})$. We perform Monte Carlo simulations on the 2D quantum Josephson junction array model and present local maps of these quantities as the system is tuned across the SIT. $P(\mathbf{r},ω)$, obtained using Maximum Entropy analytic continuation techniques, shows strongly diminished zero-energy spectral weight in nearly-insulating islands, that also correlate with regions of suppressed $κ(\mathbf{r})$. We investigate the signatures of quantum fluctuations in the evolution of $κ(\mathbf{r})$ and $χ(\mathbf{r})$ across the SIT, distinct from thermal fluctuations. We discuss the experimental implications of our results for scanning Josephson spectroscopy, compressibility, and scanning SQUID measurements.

description: Unpolarized inelastic neutron scattering is used to study the temperature and wave vector dependence of the dynamical magnetic susceptibility, $χ''(q,ω)$, of a well characterized single crystal $YBa_2Cu_3O_{6.6}$ ($T_c=62.7$ K). We find that a pseudogap opens in the spin fluctuation spectrum at temperatures well above $T_c$. We speculate that the appearance of the low frequency incommensurate fluctuations is associated with the opening of the pseudogap. To within the error of the measurements, a gap in the spin fluctuation spectrum is found in the superconducting state.

description: We investigate the relative phase coherence properties and the occurrence of demixing instabilities for two mutually interacting and time evolving Bose-Einstein condensates in traps. Our treatment naturally includes the additional decoherence effect due to fluctuations in the total number of particles. Analytical results are presented for the breathe-together solution, an extension of previously known scaling solution to the case of a binary mixture of condensates. When the three coupling constants describing the elastic interactions among the atoms in the two states are close to each other, a dramatic increase of the phase coherence time is predicted. Numerical results are presented for the parameters of the recent JILA experiments.

Importance: Widespread distribution of rapid antigen tests is integral to the US strategy to address COVID-19; however, it is estimated that few rapid antigen test results are reported to local departments of health. Objective: To characterize how often individuals in 6 communities throughout the United States used a digital assistant to log rapid antigen test results and report them to their local departments of health. Design, Setting, and Participants: This prospective cohort study is based on anonymously collected data from the beneficiaries of the Say Yes! Covid Test program, which distributed more than 3000000 rapid antigen tests at no cost to residents of 6 communities (Louisville, Kentucky; Indianapolis, Indiana; Fulton County, Georgia; O'ahu, Hawaii; Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti, Michigan; and Chattanooga, Tennessee) between April and October 2021. A descriptive evaluation of beneficiary use of a digital assistant for logging and reporting their rapid antigen test results was performed. Interventions: Widespread community distribution of rapid antigen tests. Main Outcomes and Measures: Number and proportion of tests logged and reported to the local department of health through the digital assistant. Results: A total of 313000 test kits were distributed, including 178785 test kits that were ordered using the digital assistant. Among all distributed kits, 14398 households (4.6%) used the digital assistant, but beneficiaries reported three-quarters of their rapid antigen test results to their state public health departments (30965 tests reported of 41465 total test results [75.0%]). The reporting behavior varied by community and was significantly higher among communities that were incentivized for reporting test results vs those that were not incentivized or partially incentivized (90.5% [95% CI, 89.9%-91.2%] vs 70.5%; [95% CI, 70.0%-71.0%]). In all communities, positive tests were less frequently reported than negative tests (60.4% [95% CI, 58.1%-62.8%] vs 75.5% [95% CI, 75.1%-76.0%]). Conclusions and Relevance: These results suggest that application-based reporting with incentives may be associated with increased reporting of rapid tests for COVID-19. However, increasing the adoption of the digital assistant may be a critical first step.

description: Elastic neutron scattering experiments performed in semi-conducting La(1-x)Ca(x)MnO3 single crystals (x=0.05, 0.08), reveal new features in the problem of electronic phase separation and metal insulator transition. Below TN, the observation of a broad magnetic modulation in the q-dependent scattering intensity, centered at nearly identical qm whatever the q direction, can be explained by a liquid-like spatial distribution of similar magnetic droplets. A semi-quantitative description of their magnetic state, diameter, and average distance, can be done using a two-phase model. Such a picture can explain the anomalous characteristics of the spin wave branches and may result from unmixing forces between charge carriers predicted from the s-d model.

description: The phase diagram of BaVS3 is studied under pressure using resistivity measurements. The temperature of the metal to nonmagnetic Mott insulator transition decreases under pressure, and vanishes at the quantum critical point p_cr=20kbar. We find two kinds of anomalous conducting states. The high-pressure metallic phase is a non-Fermi liquid described by Delta rho = T^n where n=1.2-1.3 at 1K < T < 60K. At p

Subjects: subject: Systems and Control (eess.SY)

description: This technical note focuses on the control of a quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) tethered to the ground. The control objective is to stabilize the UAV to the desired position while ensuring that the cable remains taut at all times. A cascade control scheme is proposed. The inner loop controls the attitude of the UAV. The outer loop gives the attitude reference to the inner loop, and is designed so that (i) the gravity force is compensated, (ii) the cable is taut at all times, and (iii) the trajectory of the UAV follows the geodesic path. To prove asymptotic stability, small gain arguments are used. The control scheme is augmented with a reference governor to enforce constraints.

description:
Over the last year, COVID-19 has emerged as a highly transmissible and lethal infection. As we address this global pandemic, its disproportionate impact on Black, Indigenous, and Latinx communities has served to further magnify the health inequities in access and treatment that persist in our communities. These sobering realities should serve as the impetus for reexamination of the root causes of inequities in our health system. An increased commitment to strategic partnerships between academic and nonacademic health systems, industry, local communities, and policy-makers may serve as the foundation. Here, we examine the impact of the recent COVID-19 pandemic on health care inequities and propose a strategic roadmap for integration of clinical and translational research into our understanding of health inequities.

description: This paper deals with the problem of corruption, with a focus on both individual and country-specific institutional factors that may affect this problem. We analyse the determinants of the incidence of corruption as well as the tolerance of corruption. We used logit regressions that utilised data derived from Eurobarometer. The results strongly suggest gender, age, and education are important factors. We may say that anti-corruption policy ought to be targeted towards younger, less-educated, self-employed people with no children. On the other hand, a better-educated man in his early 30s seems to be a typical victim of corruption. The same is true for those having problems paying their expenses. Furthermore, contact with public officials appears to be one of the key issues, with Internet-based interactions with the government perhaps serving as the most effective solution to this problem. The rule of law, government effectiveness, and public accountability seem to be other factors that negatively correlate with the level of corruption within a country.
