description: We construct forecasts for cosmological parameter constraints from weak gravitational lensing surveys involving the Square Kilometre Array (SKA). Considering matter content, dark energy and modified gravity parameters, we show that the first phase of the SKA (SKA1) can be competitive with other Stage III experiments such as the Dark Energy Survey (DES) and that the full SKA (SKA2) can potentially form tighter constraints than Stage IV optical weak lensing experiments, such as those that will be conducted with LSST, WFIRST-AFTA or Euclid-like facilities. Using weak lensing alone, going from SKA1 to SKA2 represents improvements by factors of $\sim10$ in matter, $\sim10$ in dark energy and $\sim5$ in modified gravity parameters. We also show, for the first time, the powerful result that comparably tight constraints (within $\sim5\%$) for both Stage III and Stage IV experiments, can be gained from cross-correlating shear maps between the optical and radio wavebands, a process which can also eliminate a number of potential sources of systematic errors which can otherwise limit the utility of weak lensing cosmology.

description: The contributions of active deformation dynamics in cell nuclei to the intra-nuclear positioning of hetero- and euchromatin are investigated. We analyzed the behaviors of model chains containing two types of regions, one with high and the other with low mobility, confined in a pulsating container. Here, the regions with high and low mobility represent eu- and heterochromatic regions, respectively, and the pulsating container simulates a nucleus exhibiting dynamic deformations. The Brownian dynamics simulations of this model show that the positioning of low mobility regions transition from sites near the periphery to the central region of the container if the affinity between low mobility regions and the container periphery disappears. Here, the former and latter positioning are similar to the "conventional" and "inverted" chromatin positioning observed in nuclei of normal differentiated cells and cells lacking Lamin-related proteins like mouse rod photoreceptor cell.

description: Real-time embedded platforms with resource constraints can take the benefits of mixed-criticality system where applications with different criticality-level share computational resources, with isolation in the temporal and spatial domain. A conventional software-based isolation mechanism adds additional overhead and requires certification with the highest level of criticality present in the system, which is often an expensive process. In this article, we present a different approach where the required isolation is established at the hardware-level by featuring partitions within the processor. A four-stage pipelined soft-processor with replicated resources in the data-path is introduced to establish isolation and avert interference between the partitions. A cycle-accurate scheduling mechanism is implemented in the hardware for hard-real-time partition scheduling that can accommodate different periodicity and execution time for each partition as per user needs, while preserving time-predictability at the individual application level. Applications running within a partition has no sense of the virtualization and can execute either on a host-software or directly on the hardware. The proposed architecture is implemented on FPGA thread and demonstrated with an avionics use case.

description: We construct a pipeline for simulating weak lensing cosmology surveys with the Square Kilometre Array (SKA), taking as inputs telescope sensitivity curves; correlated source flux, size and redshift distributions; a simple ionospheric model; source redshift and ellipticity measurement errors. We then use this simulation pipeline to optimise a 2-year weak lensing survey performed with the first deployment of the SKA (SKA1). Our assessments are based on the total signal-to-noise of the recovered shear power spectra, a metric that we find to correlate very well with a standard dark energy figure of merit. We first consider the choice of frequency band, trading off increases in number counts at lower frequencies against poorer resolution; our analysis strongly prefers the higher frequency Band 2 (950-1760 MHz) channel of the SKA-MID telescope to the lower frequency Band 1 (350-1050 MHz). Best results would be obtained by allowing the centre of Band 2 to shift towards lower frequency, around 1.1 GHz. We then move on to consider survey size, finding that an area of 5,000 square degrees is optimal for most SKA1 instrumental configurations. Finally, we forecast the performance of a weak lensing survey with the second deployment of the SKA. The increased survey size (3$π$\,steradian) and sensitivity improves both the signal-to-noise and the dark energy metrics by two orders of magnitude.

Transgender and gender diverse people’s perceptions of gender-inclusive healthcare access and associated hope for the future

Year: 2021
Subjects: Minority stress

description: Minority stress theory suggests that individuals from minoritized social categories experience stress that is unique, chronic, and socially based. Minority stress research has since linked minority stress experiences to numerous negative health outcomes among sexual and gender minorities. Transgender and gender diverse (TGD) people in particular have been found to have worse physical and mental health than non-TGD people. Healthcare providers have been shown to hold biases regarding TGD patients and lack training to deliver TGD-inclusive healthcare encounters. The proposed study seeks to examine if a relationship exists between TGD individuals’ access to TGD-inclusive healthcare and their sense of hopelessness. Informed by the minority stress model, the study will assess how distal stress (perception of gender-related healthcare discrimination by the government) and proximal stress (negative healthcare expectations) factors within a healthcare context are associated with the relationship between access to TGD-inclusive healthcare and hopelessness. The relationships among these variables will be examined using a moderated multiple linear regression model with one predictor (access to TGD-inclusive healthcare), two moderators (proximal and distal stress), and one outcome variable (hopelessness). The proposed study aims to provide insight on how minority stress functions within the healthcare context, and how institutions and individuals can intervene on the many health disparities faced by TGD people.

description: This paper proposes a control strategy for a Reverse Fuel Cell used to manage a Renewable Energy Community. A two-stage scenario-based Model Predictive Control algorithm is designed to define the best economic strategy to be followed during operation. Renewable energy generation and users' demand are forecasted by a suitably defined Discrete Markov Chain based method. The control algorithm is able to take into account the uncertainties of forecasts and the nonlinear behaviour of the Reversible Fuel Cell. The performance of proposed approach is tested on a Renewable Energy Community composed by an aggregation of industrial buildings equipped with PV.

description: Modern biomedicine is challenged to predict the effects of genetic variation. Systematic functional assays of point mutants of proteins have provided valuable empirical information, but vast regions of sequence space remain unexplored. Fortunately, the mutation-selection process of natural evolution has recorded rich information in the diversity of natural protein sequences. Here, building on probabilistic models for correlated amino-acid substitutions that have been successfully applied to determine the three-dimensional structures of proteins, we present a statistical approach for quantifying the contribution of residues and their interactions to protein function, using a statistical energy, the evolutionary Hamiltonian. We find that these probability models predict the experimental effects of mutations with reasonable accuracy for a number of proteins, especially where the selective pressure is similar to the evolutionary pressure on the protein, such as antibiotics.

description: Der Citizen Science-Ansatz, bei dem sich die Öffentlichkeit aktiv an wissenschaftlicher Forschung beteiligt, verspricht als potenziell leistungsfähiges Instrument zur Generierung und Auswertung großer Datenmengen einen bedeutenden Beitrag für die Wissenschaft. Gleichzeitig erlangt Citizen Science in der Bildung eine wachsende Bedeutung, wobei verschiedene Lernziele wie beispielsweise ein höheres Verständnis von der Natur der Naturwissenschaften intendiert werden. Das tatsächliche Potenzial von Citizen Science für die Gewässerforschung und die Wirksamkeit im Bereich der Bildung sind bisher jedoch erst wenig erforscht. An dieser Stelle setzt ein von den Universitäten Osnabrück und Oldenburg durchgeführtes Citizen Science-Projekt an, in dem gemeinsam mit etwa 800 Schüler:innen und Bürger:innen die Stickstoffbelastung von Gewässern erforscht wurde. Anhand der von den Teilnehmer:innen erhobenen Daten wurde das Potenzial von Citizen Science für die Gewässerforschung, unter anderem zur Analyse räumlicher und zeitlicher Einflussfaktoren auf die Nitratbelastung, untersucht. Darüber hinaus wurden Handlungsempfehlungen für Citizen Science-Projekte im Bereich der Gewässerforschung, beispielsweise in Bezug auf die Repräsentativität des Messnetzes oder die Eignung verschiedener Messmethoden, abgeleitet. Ergänzend wurde eine quantitative Begleitstudie zur Wirksamkeit von Citizen Science im Bereich der Umweltbildung und naturwissenschaftlichen Schulbildung durchgeführt. Aufgrund der starken Beeinflussung der Studie, unter anderem durch die COVID-19-Pandemie, und aufgrund zu kleiner Stichproben konnten die Wirkungen auf das Umweltbewusstsein sowie auf das Verständnis der Natur der Naturwissenschaften, die motivationale Regulation, das Interesse, die Selbstwirksamkeit und das Selbstkonzept nicht abschließend überprüft werden. Dennoch liefert die Begleitstudie erste Hinweise darauf, dass die Teilnahme an einem Citizen Science-Projekt einen positiven Einfluss auf das Umweltverhalten und die Umweltkenntnisse in Bezug auf den Gewässerschutz haben kann.

description: In this paper, we are concerned with the global existence and blowup of smooth solutions of the 3-D compressible Euler equation with time-depending damping $$ \partial_tρ+\operatorname{div}(ρu)=0, \quad \partial_t(ρu)+\operatorname{div}\left(ρu\otimes u+p\,I_{3}\right)=-\,\fracμ{(1+t)^λ}\,ρu, \quad ρ(0,x)=\bar ρ+\varepsilonρ_0(x),\quad u(0,x)=\varepsilon u_0(x), $$ where $x\in\mathbb R^3$, $μ>0$, $λ\geq 0$, and $\barρ>0$ are constants, $ρ_0,\, u_0\in C_0^{\infty}(\mathbb R^3)$, $(ρ_0, u_0)\not\equiv 0$, $ρ(0,\cdot)>0$, and $\varepsilon>0$ is sufficiently small. For $0\leqλ\leq1$, we show that there exists a global smooth solution $(ρ, u)$ when $\operatorname{curl} u_0\equiv 0$, while for $λ>1$, in general, the solution $(ρ, u)$ will blow up in finite time. Therefore, $λ=1$ appears to be the critical value for the global existence of small amplitude smooth solutions.

Modeling cascading outages in power systems with survival theory

Publisher: name: The University of Texas at Austin

Subjects: Cascading outage
Survival theory

description: Cascading blackouts in power systems have an immense impact on the society in many ways. Therefore, the modeling and analysis of cascading failures in a large-scale power grid interconnection have attracted high interest from the power systems research community. In this report, we present a modeling framework to predict the propagation sequence of cascades outages for the given initial failures. Specifically, a graph-based representation is introduced to transform the impact of existing failures in the system to the rest of system components, while approaching the probability of failure events from the perspective of survival theory. To construct the impact graph, we have analyzed the distribution of the size and duration in the generated dataset of cascading outage events and determined the time shape functions that best fit the dataset. This analysis has led to obtaining the hidden graph over which outages propagate. The resultant propagation graph improves the understanding of how outages influence other systems components, allows for predicting the cascading outage sequence, as well as potentially facilities the design of mitigation strategies for tackling the cascading outage problems.

We show how our results relate to bounds for eigenvalues after discarding off-diagonal blocks or additive perturbations.

Prevention of Unintentional Injuries in the First Two Years of Life
Creators: name: Teigland, Claire
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2012

description: Introduction: Unintentional injuries are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in early childhood. One of the mainstays of injury prevention is anticipatory guidance delivered to families during well-child visits. The Injury Prevention Program (TIPP) is a developmentally tailored package of injury prevention counseling developed by the American Academy of Pediatrics widely used in primary care. Methods: A systematic review of the literature on anticipatory guidance for injury prevention was performed through a Medline search in February of 2012. Also included in this Master’s paper are some preliminary and early stage results of a multi-site randomized controlled trial examining the efficacy of TIPP at promoting strategies to prevent childhood injuries in the first 6 months of life. Results: In our systematic review of the literature, we found that 8 of 9 articles addressing the efficacy of injury prevention counseling in the first two years showed positive changes in safety related behaviors, beliefs, or injury rates. The preliminary results of the TIPP trial revealed that families receiving TIPP were significantly more likely to improve from 2 to 6 month interval in their compliance with lowering hot water temperatures (OR 7.7 95% CI: 1.11-53.38). Discussion: The results of the TIPP trial confirm the findings of the systematic review: anticipatory guidance delivered during well-child visits is an effective method of promoting childhood injury prevention strategies.

Tracking

description: Biological being has displayed abilities to adapt to the ever-changing environment through neural and behavioral modifications and stably maintain such adaptations. Understanding the neural substrates that underlie such capacity is a critical question in neuroscience. Answering this question requires reliable, long-term, and large-scale tracking of the dynamical brain circuitry at the resolution of its basic unit, single neurons. Intracortical electrical recording remains the only option that simultaneously offers temporally resolved, depth independent, long-term tracking of local neuronal clusters. This thesis highlights data processing strategy and the performance of 4 different electrode designs whose properties vary substantially along two axes 1. The spatial resolution of the sensor, subsampling versus oversampling 2. Rigidity of the implanted device, rigid versus flexible. In the second part of this thesis, our work on long-term tracking of neuronal clusters with ultraflexible oversampling electrode array is summarized

description: Η εκτεταμένη χρήση των καλλωπιστικών προϊόντων και των προϊόντων προσωπικής φροντίδας έχει φέρει στο προσκήνιο εκατοντάδες φορές, ιδίως μετά τον 16ο αιώνα, το ζήτημα της ασφάλειας των καταναλωτών που τα χρησιμοποιούν. Πέντε αιώνες αργότερα το ζήτημα αυτό εγείρεται σχεδόν σε καθημερινή βάση, με τις βιομηχανίες παραγωγής καλλυντικών να τηρούν όλο και πιο πιστά τις ορθές πρακτικές που εξασφαλίζουν σε όλη την εφοδιαστική αλυσίδα, την ανώτερη ποιότητα των τελικών προϊόντων. Μάλιστα, τις τελευταίες δεκαετίες παρατηρούνται συχνά συνεργασίες των χωρών μεταξύ τους για τη δημιουργία προτύπων και οργανισμών που θα επιβεβαιώνουν την υψηλή ποιότητα των καλλυντικών σκευασμάτων και θα διασφαλίζουν την υγεία του καταναλωτικού κοινού. Η λειτουργία των μονάδων παραγωγής καλλυντικών, όπως συμβαίνει και σε κάθε άλλο κλάδο, διαφέρουν αρκετά ακόμα κι αν η παραγωγική τους δραστηριότητα βρίσκεται στο ίδιο κράτος και διέπεται από την ίδια εθνική νομοθεσία. Το γεγονός αυτό οφείλεται στην παραδοχή ότι οι εν λόγω μονάδες διαφέρουν ως προς τη δυναμικότητά τους και το είδος των καλλυντικών που παράγουν. Η βάση της λειτουργίας τους όμως διέπεται από την ίδια φιλοσοφία και το κοινό πρότυπο ποιότητας που ακολουθούν. Σκοπός της παρούσας εργασίας είναι, λοιπόν, η παρουσίαση ακριβώς αυτού του ζητήματος για το οποίο πολύ συχνά γίνεται λόγος: του προτύπου ποιότητας ISO 22716:2007, το οποίο σαν τελικό του στόχο έχει τη διακίνηση στην αγορά ασφαλών προϊόντων και τη διασφάλιση της υγείας του καταναλωτή. Έτσι, το πρότυπο θεσπίστηκε στη βάση των Ορθών Πρακτικών παραγωγής, μεταφοράς και αποθήκευσης, πάνω στις οποίες στηρίζονταν για χρόνια πολλές εθνικές νομοθεσίες για την προστασία των καταναλωτών.
Variability-aware training and self-tuning of highly quantized DNNs for analog PIM

Variability-aware training

description: DNNs deployed on analog processing in memory (PIM) architectures are subject to fabrication-time variability. We developed a new joint variability- and quantization-aware DNN training algorithm for highly quantized analog PIM-based models that is significantly more effective than prior work. It outperforms variability-oblivious and post-training quantized models on multiple computer vision datasets/models. For low- bitwidth models and high variation, the gain in accuracy is up to 35.7% for ResNet-18 over the best alternative. We demonstrate that, under a realistic pattern of within- and between-chip components of variability, training alone is unable to prevent large DNN accuracy loss (of up to 54% on CIFAR- 100/ResNet-18). We introduce a self-tuning DNN architecture that dynamically adjusts layer-wise activations during inference and is effective in reducing accuracy loss to below 10%.
Diabetes Related Amputations in the North West Region of Cameroon

description: Objective: To identify cases of diabetic related amputation in the North West Region of Cameroon, determine the primary causes of amputation, assess the major determinants of the health problem, and propose recommendations to manage diabetic foot patients. Methods: Three health facilities (Bamenda Station Polyclinic, Bamenda Regional Hospital and Mbingo Baptist Hospital) were selected to participate in this retrospective study. Medical records of patients with diabetic related amputation or debridement were reviewed between January 2006 and June 2011. Age, gender, duration of hospitalization, diagnosis, procedures performed and mortality status were obtained from the 82 medical records selected for the study. Data were analyzed using the statistical toolbox in Ms EXCEL. Results: Most (66.2%) of the cases were adults above 51 years of age, the life expectancy of Cameroon. The age of the cases ranged from 21yrs to 90 yrs with an average of 57.8 ± 13.9 years. The male to female ratio was 1.5:1 and the duration of hospitalization ranged from 3 days to 154 days with the age group 50-59yrs producing a peak cumulative total of 1172 days of hospitalization. Amputation and debridement constituted 78% and 22% of the cases reviewed respectively. There were 14 deaths resulting from the amputation and the major diagnosis were necrosis, gangrene, ulcer, diabetic foot, ischemia, cellulitis and septicemia. Conclusion: Diabetic patients, if not properly monitored and cared for, can develop severe foot complications which can have adverse consequences such as amputation and debridement. With poverty and lack of education being the two major causes of late staged diagnosis of diabetic foot complications, government subsidized medical services and education campaigns are highly recommended.

Utilizing the medisafe app to increase medication understanding and compliance in an outpatient primary care office: a quality improvement project
Creators: name: Chen, Christine
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2023

description: Purpose: Medications are necessary for the treatment of both acute and chronic conditions. Medication noncompliance leads to increased mortality and morbidity. Tools such as reminder applications are widely available but not often promoted by health care providers. This project focused on the use of a medication reminder app called Medisafe to increase medication compliance and overall understanding. A literature review was performed to show the benefits of using this tool to decrease medication forgetfulness. This project promotes beneficial change through the promotion of the use of the Medisafe app to increase medication compliance and understanding. The outcome is improved medication compliance which will in turn reduce poor health outcomes and decrease healthcare costs. Methodology: A quality improvement project in an outpatient primary care office in northern New Jersey. The project sample consisted of nine English speaking males and females aged 52-71. The participants were told to use the app daily for 12 weeks. At the end of each week, compliance scores created by the app based on usage were reported to the co-investigator. Results: Five of the nine participants had 12-week average compliance scores greater than 90%. All of the eight participants who completed the post intervention survey were in favor of the promotion of the Medisafe app by health care providers. 6 out of 8 stated the app improved medication understanding. 7 out of 8 voiced intent to continuing using the app. 7 out of 8 stated feeling more organized. Implications for Practice: The Medisafe app will provide healthcare providers with a tool to assist with medication noncompliance. Medisafe is a free and available technology driven intervention that provides assistance with medication regimens. The app will assist patients by decreasing unintentional noncompliance due to forgetfulness. Future studies should investigate if provider promotion of the app will increase interest in study participation and usage of the app.
Improving Perinatal Health in Low-Resource Settings: A Framework for Effective Translation of Training into Practice

Year: 2017

description: One common method of addressing poor quality care in low-resource settings is clinical training programs. However, despite clinical training programs’ ability to improve provider knowledge and skills, a single educational experience does not consistently result in improved health outcomes in low- and middle-income countries. Additional elements are essential to effective translation of training programs into practice including maintaining knowledge and skills, monitoring and evaluation and continuous quality improvement with supportive supervision. Knowledge and skills can be maintained with refresher training, low-dose high-frequency practice of complex skills and point-of-care checklists. Processes of care and health outcomes can be continuously monitored and evaluation of this data reflected back to providers. Continuous quality improvement methods can be used to address local barriers to evidence based care with context-driven solutions, and is most successfully employed with the facilitation of a supportive supervisor. In sum, a training program must be embedded in a self-consciously orchestrated context of pre- and post-program initiatives, all of which are designed to turn the knowledge and skills imparted by the training program into instrumental processes of care.

description: We present a procedure for exactly diagonalizing finite-range quadratic fermionic Hamiltonians with arbitrary boundary conditions in one of D dimensions, and periodic in the remaining D-1. The key is a Hamiltonian-dependent separation of the bulk from the boundary. By combining information from the two, we identify a matrix function that completely characterizes the solutions, and allow to identify an indicator of bulk-boundary correspondence. As an illustration, we show how our method correctly describes the zero-energy Majorana modes of a time-reversal-invariant s-wave superconductor in a Josephson ring configuration, and predicts that a fractional 4 pi Josephson effect can only be observed in phases hosting an odd number of Majorana pairs.
