description: Introduction Reproductive and sexual health (RSH) are core components of comprehensive care, yet often omitted in addiction treatment. We characterize knowledge of and interest in RSH services and contraceptive method awareness and use in a rural, Appalachian outpatient clinic. Materials and Methods Between September 2016 and April 2018, a convenience sample of 225 patients receiving treatment for opioid use disorder at an outpatient buprenorphine/naloxone clinic was collected. Participants completed a cross-sectional RSH survey that included demographics, interest in RSH service integration, contraceptive use, and contraceptive knowledge. Results A total of 212 people (126 non-pregnant women, 29 pregnant women, and 57 men) completed the survey of whom 45.8% indicated interest in adding RSH services. Services of interest include regular physical exams (44.8%), STI/STD testing (41.0%), and contraception education and administration (38.2%). There were no significant differences between interest in co-located services between women and men (P = 0.327). Current contraceptive use was low (17.9–30.9%) among women and men. Contraceptive method awareness was 43.3% for high efficacy methods and 50.0% for medium efficacy methods. Women and currently pregnant women knew more total, high, and medium efficacy contraceptive method than men (P = 0.029). Discussion Both women and men in this sample are interested in co-located RSH services. Current contraceptive use was low among participants. Contraceptive knowledge was lower among men compared to women, and generally low. Providing co-located RSH services may facilitate RSH education, contraceptive method uptake, and promote engagement across various RSH domains.

description: We obtain holographic realizations for systems that have strong similarities to Mott insulators and supersolids, after examining the ground states of Einstein-Maxwell-scalar systems. The real part of the AC conductivity has a hard gap and a discrete spectrum only. We add momentum dissipation to resolve the delta function in the conductivity due to translational invariance. We develop tools to directly calculate the Drude weight for a large class of solutions and to support our claims. Numerical RG flows are also constructed to verify that such saddle points are IR fixed points of asymptotically AdS_4 geometries.

description: Purpose/Objective(s)Although ample intermediate-term prostate stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) outcomes have been reported, 10-year results remain relatively sparse.Materials/MethodsEighteen institutions enrolled 259 low- and intermediate-risk patients. Median follow-up is 5.5 years, with 66 patients followed ≥ 10 years. This SBRT regimen specifically emulated an existing HDR brachytherapy dose schedule and isodose morphology, prescribed to 38 Gy/4 fractions, delivered daily by robotic SBRT, mandating > 150% dose escalation in the peripheral zone. Androgen deprivation therapy was not allowed, and a hydrogel spacer was not available at that time.ResultsMedian pre-SBRT PSA 5.12 ng/mL decreased to 0.1 ng/mL by 3.5 years, with further decrease to a nadir of < 0.1 ng/mL by 7 years, maintained through 10 years. Ten-year freedom from biochemical recurrence measured 100% for low-risk, 84.3% for favorable intermediate risk (FIR), and 68.4% for unfavorable intermediate (UIR) cases. Multivariable analysis revealed that the UIR group bifurcated into two distinct prognostic subgroups. Those so classified by having Gleason score 4 + 3 and/or clinical stage T2 (versus T1b/T1c) had a significantly poorer 10 year freedom from biochemical recurrence rate, 54.8% if either or both factors were present, while UIR patients without these specific factors had a 94.4% 10-year freedom from biochemical recurrence rate. The cumulative incidence of grade 2 GU toxicity modestly increased over time – 16.3% at 5 years increased to 19.2% at 10 years-- while the incidence of grade 3+ GU and GI toxicity remained low and stable to 10 years - 2.6% and 0%, respectively. The grade 2 GI toxicity incidence also remained low and stable to 10 years – 4.1% with no further events after year 5.ConclusionThis HDR-like SBRT regimen prescribing 38 Gy/4 fractions but delivering much higher intraprostatic doses on a daily basis is safe and effective. This treatment achieves a median PSA nadir of <0.1 ng/mL and provides high long-term disease control rates without ADT except for a subgroup of unfavorable intermediate-risk patients.

description: Public dashboards have been one of the most effective tools to provide critical information about COVID-19 cases during the pandemic. However, dashboards for COVID-19 that have not received a lot of scrutiny are those from the public school system. We conducted an environmental scan of published dashboards that report and track new COVID-19 infections in the Florida public school system. We found that thirty-four percent of counties do not provide any public dashboard, and there was significant heterogeneity in the data quality and framework of existing systems. There were poor interfaces without visual tools to trace the trend of COVID-19 cases in public schools and significant limitations for data extraction. Given these observations, it is impossible to conduct meaningful policy evaluations and proper surveillance. Additional work and oversight are needed to improve public data reported.

A New String Edit Distance and Applications

description: String edit distances have been used for decades in applications ranging from spelling correction and web search suggestions to DNA analysis. Most string edit distances are variations of the Levenshtein distance and consider only single-character edits. In forensic applications polymorphic genetic markers such as short tandem repeats (STRs) are used. At these repetitive motifs the DNA copying errors consist of more than just single base differences. More often the phenomenon of “stutter” is observed, where the number of repeated units differs (by whole units) from the template. To adapt the Levenshtein distance to be suitable for forensic applications where DNA sequence similarity is of interest, a generalized string edit distance is defined that accommodates the addition or deletion of whole motifs in addition to single-nucleotide edits. A dynamic programming implementation is developed for computing this distance between sequences. The novelty of this algorithm is in handling the complex interactions that arise between multiple- and single-character edits. Forensic examples illustrate the purpose and use of the Restricted Forensic Levenshtein (RFL) distance measure, but applications extend to sequence alignment and string similarity in other biological areas, as well as dynamic programming algorithms more broadly.

description: Heavy alcohol consumption and other drug use are prominent across Africa and increase the risk of exposure to violence, HIV acquisition, and other life-threatening injuries. This review synthesizes evidence on alcohol and other drug (AOD) interventions in Africa; evaluates the differences between interventions that do and do not specifically target populations that use AODs; and highlights the impact of comprehensive vs. brief interventions and those that address syndemic issues from a gender and contextualized lens. Literature searches were conducted to identify research outcomes of randomized interventions published between January 2010 and May 2022 that address AOD use in Africa. Thirty-five full-text articles were included in this review. Most of the identified research studies were concentrated in a few countries. Most studies were conducted in South Africa. Many of the studies comprised brief interventions. However, the most comprehensive interventions were the most effective for AOD outcomes. Several studies indicated the importance of addressing AOD use alongside gender-based violence, mental health needs, gender roles, and other social determinants that affect health outcomes. Intervening on AOD use and addressing social determinants from a gender and contextually relevant perspective is essential to ensuring the long-term health and well-being of people in Africa.

description: We use the Made-to-Measure method to construct N-body realizations of self-similar, triaxial ellipsoidal halos having cosmologically realistic density profiles. Our implementation parallels previous work with a few numerical refinements, but we show that orbital averaging is an intrinsic feature of the force of change equation and argue that additional averaging or smoothing schemes are redundant. We present models having the Einasto radial mass profile that range from prolate to strongly triaxial. We use a least-squares polynomial fit to the expansion coefficients to obtain an analytical representation of the particle density from which we derive density contours and eccentricity profiles more efficiently than by the usual particle smoothing techniques. We show that our N-body realizations both retain their shape in unconstrained evolution and recover it after large amplitude perturbations.

description: Der Anspruch der vorliegenden Masterarbeit ist es, eine kritische Perspektive auf Unterstützungsarbeiten für Flüchtende im Transit in Bihać (Bosnien und Herzegowina), durch vorwiegend weiße Freiwillige aus mitteleuropäischen Ländern zu entwickeln. Um diese zu bilden, wird die Arbeit in die Theorien zu white saviorism und Solidarität eingebettet. Der Fokus liegt auf kleinen, inoffiziellen Gruppen in Bihać, die ihre Versuche Menschen im Transit zu unterstützen mit Solidarität zu diesen begründen. Die Autorin vermutet die Freiwilligen in einem Spannungsfeld zwischen Versuchen solidarischen Handelns auf der einen Seite und paternalisierenden und rassistischen Verhaltensweisen auf der anderen Seite, durch welche weiße Privilegien reproduziert und Machtasymmetrien verstärkt werden. Anhand einer konkreten Fallstudie wird auf das Zusammenspiel vielseitiger Motivation, Überzeugungen und Werte der Freiwilligen eingegangen und zudem nach dem Stellenwert gefragt, welcher die Reflexion der eigenen Privilegien für die Freiwilligen einnimmt. Mit der Methode des problemzentrierten Interviews werden die unterschiedlichen Perspektiven von sechszehn Personen bezüglich ihrer Motivationen für die Arbeit und Reflexionen des Verhaltens vor Ort erkundet und unter Hinzuziehung des white savior complex nach eurozentrischen, diskriminierenden und paternalisierenden Verhaltensweisen unter dem Deckmantel der altruistischen Freiwilligenarbeit gefragt.
description: The aim of this paper is to critically examine support structures for people in transit stuck in Bihać (Bosnia and Herzegovina) by mainly white volunteers from Central Europe. Focusing on small, informal groups that justify their attempts to support people in transit with solidarity, The author suspects a tension between attempts to act in solidarity on the one hand and paternalistic and racist behaviors on the other, through which white privileges are reproduced and power asymmetries are reinforced. By means of a concrete case study, the interplay of multifaceted motivations, convictions and values of the volunteers will be examined while investigating the importance of reflecting on one's own privileges. The different perspectives of sixteen people concerning their motivations for their work and reflections on the behavior in the field are explored by using the method of problem-centered interviews. Through the application of the white savior complex, the author aims to reflect on Eurocentric, discriminatory and paternalistic behaviors disguised as altruistic volunteering.

description: During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) Cash Value Benefit (CVB) for fruits and vegetables increased by roughly USD 25/month/person. We sought to understand WIC participant perceptions of this change and barriers and facilitators to using the CVB. We conducted 10 virtual focus groups (5 rural, 5 urban/suburban) with WIC participants (n = 55) in North Carolina in March 2022. Focus groups were recorded and transcribed. We open-coded the content and used thematic analysis to uncover consistencies within and between sampled groups. Participants expressed favorable perceptions of the CVB increase and stated the pre-pandemic CVB amount was insufficient. Barriers to using the increased CVB were identifying WIC-approved fruits and vegetables in stores and insufficient supply of fruits and vegetables. Barriers were more pronounced in rural groups. Facilitators of CVB use were existing household preferences for fruits and vegetables and the variety of products that can be purchased with CVB relative to other components of the WIC food package. Participants felt the CVB increase allowed their families to eat a wider variety of fruits and vegetables. The CVB increase may improve fruit and vegetable intake, particularly if made permanent, but barriers to CVB and WIC benefit use may limit the potential impact.

description: Epilepsy is a common comorbidity among children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). There is a lack of understanding of the inequality in access to care for children with co-occurring ASD and epilepsy (ASD-EP). The purpose of this study is to examine key indicators for access to care and care coordination for children with ASD-EP in the US National Survey of Children’s Health (NSCH). Data were collected from the 2017–2019 NSCH. Our analytic sample included children with ASD without epilepsy (N = 2150), children with both ASD and epilepsy (N = 143), and children with epilepsy without ASD (N = 711). The dependent variables included important access to care indicators such as having usual sources of care, having adequate coverage, being frustrated in efforts to get service, and receiving care coordination. The independent variables included ASD-EP status, child demographics, and an intellectual disability (ID) diagnosis. Our results show that demographic characteristics such as sex, race, income level, and insurance type affect access to care. Inadequate access to healthcare was significantly higher among female children, children from low-income families, and children with ID. The access barriers among children with ASD-EP were more likely due to the interplay of multiple clinical and individual factors.

description: This paper investigates various subtleties of applying linear physical-layer network coding (PNC) with q-level pulse amplitude modulation (q-PAM) in two-way relay channels (TWRC). A critical issue is how the PNC system performs when the received powers from the two users at the relay are imbalanced. In particular, how would the PNC system perform under slight power imbalance that is inevitable in practice, even when power control is applied? To answer these questions, this paper presents a comprehensive analysis of q-PAM PNC. Our contributions are as follows: 1) We give a systematic way to obtain the analytical relationship between the minimum distance of the signal constellation induced by the superimposed signals of the two users (a key performance determining factor) and the channel-gain ratio of the two users, for all q. In particular, we show how the minimum distance changes in a piecewise linear fashion as the channel-gain ratio varies. 2) We show that the performance of q-PAM PNC is highly sensitive to imbalanced received powers from the two users at the relay, even when the power imbalance is slight (e.g., the residual power imbalance in a power-controlled system). This sensitivity problem is exacerbated as q increases, calling into question the robustness of high-order modulated PNC. 3) We propose an asynchronized PNC system in which the symbol arrival times of the two users at the relay are deliberately made to be asynchronous. We show that such asynchronized PNC, when operated with a belief propagation (BP) decoder, can remove the sensitivity problem, allowing a robust high-order modulated PNC system to be built.

description: Localized plasmons in metallic nanostructures have been widely used to enhance nonlinear optical effects due to their ability to concentrate and enhance light down to extreme-subwavelength scales. As alternatives to noble metal nanoparticles, graphene nanostructures can host long-lived plasmons that efficiently couple to light and are actively tunable via electrical doping. Here we show that doped graphene nanoislands present unique opportunities for enhancing nonlinear optical wave-mixing processes between two externally applied optical fields at the nanoscale. These small islands can support pronounced plasmons at multiple frequencies, resulting in extraordinarily high wave-mixing susceptibilities when one or more of the input or output frequencies coincide with a plasmon resonance. By varying the doping charge density in a nanoisland with a fixed geometry, enhanced wave mixing can be realized over a wide spectral range in the visible and near infrared. We concentrate in particular on second- and third-order processes, including sum and difference frequency generation, as well as on four-wave mixing. Our calculations for armchair graphene triangles composed of up to several hundred carbon atoms display large wave mixing polarizabilities compared with metal nanoparticles of similar lateral size, thus supporting nanographene as an excellent material for tunable nonlinear optical nanodevices.

description: We present a cluster Gutzwiller mean-field study for ground states and time-evolution dynamics in the Bose-Hubbard ladder (BHL), which can be realized by loading Bose atoms in double-well optical lattices. In our cluster mean-field approach, we treat each double-well unit of two lattice sites as a coherent whole for composing the cluster Gutzwiller ansatz, which may remain some residual correlations in each two-site unit. For a unbiased BHL, in addition to conventional superfluid phase and integer Mott insulator phases, we find that there are exotic fractional insulator phases if the inter-chain tunneling is much stronger than the intra-chain one. The fractional insulator phases can not be found by using a conventional mean-field treatment based upon the single-site Gutzwiller ansatz. For a biased BHL, we find there appear single-atom tunneling and interaction blockade if the system is dominated by the interplay between the on-site interaction and the inter-chain bias. In the many-body Landau-Zener process, in which the inter-chain bias is linearly swept from negative to positive or vice versa, our numerical results are qualitatively consistent with the experimental observation [Nat. Phys. \textbf{7}, 61 (2011)]. Our cluster bosonic Gutzwiller treatment is of promising perspectives in exploring exotic quantum phases and time-evolution dynamics of bosonic particles in superlattices.

description: Metabolomics investigates global metabolic alterations associated with chemical, biological, physiological, or pathological processes. These metabolic changes are measured with various analytical platforms including liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR). While LC-MS methods are becoming increasingly popular in the field of metabolomics (accounting for more than 70% of published metabolomics studies to date), there are considerable benefits and advantages to NMR-based methods for metabolomic studies. In fact, according to PubMed, more than 926 papers on NMR-based metabolomics were published in 2021—the most ever published in a given year. This suggests that NMR-based metabolomics continues to grow and has plenty to offer to the scientific community. This perspective outlines the growing applications of NMR in metabolomics, highlights several recent advances in NMR technologies for metabolomics, and provides a roadmap for future advancements.

description: We consider the timelike version of Warped Anti-de Sitter space (WAdS), which corresponds to the three-dimensional section of the Gödel solution of four-dimensional cosmological Einstein equations. This geometry presents closed timelike curves (CTCs), which are inherited from its four-dimensional embedding. In three dimensions, this type of solutions can be supported without matter provided the graviton acquires mass. Here, among the different ways to consistenly give mass to the graviton in three dimensions, we consider the parity-even model known as New Massive Gravity (NMG). In the bulk of timelike WAdS$_{3}$ space, we introduce defects that, from the three-dimensional point of view, represent spinning massive particle-like objects. For this type of sources, we investigate the definition of quasi-local gravitational energy as seen from infinity, far beyond the region where the CTCs appear. We also consider the covariant formalism applied to NMG to compute the mass and the angular momentum of spinning particle-like defects, and compare the result with the one obtained by means of the quasi-local stress-tensor. We apply these methods to special limits in which the WAdS$_3$ solutions coincide with locally AdS$_3$ and locally AdS$_{2}\times \mathbb{R}$ spaces. Finally, we make some comments about the asymptotic symmetry algebra of asymptotically WAdS$_3$ spaces in NMG.

subject: Machine learning not elsewhere classified

description: This thesis explores sophisticated multivariate forecasting techniques, emphasizing the creation of a framework adept at capturing temporal dynamics and topological relationships within large-scale related time series datasets. It introduces the Adaptive Dependency Learning Graph Neural Network (ADLGNN), which innovatively merges statistical structure modeling and Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) for enhanced multivariate forecasting. Additionally, it presents Deep Hierarchical Graph Neural Networks (DeepHGNN) as a novel approach for hierarchical forecasting, demonstrating superior performance over existing models. Addressing scalability concerns associated with GNNs, the thesis introduces the Context Neural Network (ContextRNN) as an efficient alternative, maintaining accuracy while significantly enhancing scalability in topology modeling neural networks.
Thermodynamic universality of quantum Carnot engines

description: The Carnot statement of the second law of thermodynamics poses an upper limit on the efficiency of all heat engines. Recently, it has been studied whether generic quantum features such as coherence and quantum entanglement could allow for quantum devices with efficiencies larger than the Carnot efficiency. The present study shows that this is not permitted by the laws of thermodynamics. In particular, we will show that rather the definition of heat has to be modified to account for the thermodynamic cost for maintaining coherence and entanglement. Our theoretical findings are numerically illustrated for an experimentally relevant example from optomechanics.

An Instrument Error Budget for Space-Based Absolute Flux Measurements of the Sky Synchrotron Spectrum Below 20 MHz

description: This work describes the instrumental error budget for space-based measurements of the absolute flux of the sky synchrotron spectrum at frequencies below the ionospheric cutoff (<20 MHz). We focus on an architecture using electrically short dipoles onboard a small satellite. The error budget combines the contributions of the dipole dimensions, plasma noise, stray capacitance, and front-end amplifier input impedance. We treat the errors using both a Monte Carlo error propagation model and an analytical method. This error budget can be applied to a variety of experiments and used to ultimately improve the sensing capabilities of space-based electrically short dipole instruments. The impact of individual uncertainty components, particularly stray capacitance, is explored in more detail.

description: Allobetulin is structurally similar tobetulinic acid, inducing the apoptosis of cancer cells with low toxicity. However, both of them exhibited weak antiproliferation against several tumor cell lines. Therefore, the new series of allobetulon/allobetulin–nucleoside conjugates 9a–10i were designed and synthesized for potency improvement. Compounds 9b, 9e, 10a, and 10d showed promising antiproliferative activity toward six tested cell lines, compared to zidovudine, cisplatin, and oxaliplatin based on their antitumor activity results. Among them, compound 10d exhibited much more potent antiproliferative activity against SMMC-7721, HepG2, MNK-45, SW620, and A549 human cancer cell lines than cisplatin and oxaliplatin. In the preliminary study for the mechanism of action, compound 10d induced cell apoptosis and autophagy in SMMC cells, resulting in antiproliferation and G0/G1 cell cycle arrest by regulating protein expression levels of Bax, Bcl-2, and LC3. Consequently, the nucleoside-conjugated allobetulin (10d) evidenced that nucleoside substitution was a viable strategy to improve allobetulin/allobetulon’s antitumor activity based on our present study.
