description:
Introduction Sexualized drug use (SDU) refers to using drugs before and during sex to enhance experiences, increasing high-risk behaviors, such as condomless sex, multiple sexual partners, and participation in group sex, among men who have sex with men (MSM). This study explores how SDU affects sexual behaviors in Chinese MSM. Methods We collected demographics, sexual acts, drug use, and condom attitudes data among 890 MSM from across China via WeChat ads through community-based organizations from March 23 to April 22, 2022. Cluster analysis using Gower’s distance and hierarchical clustering explored differences in sexual acts among MSM who reported SDU in their last encounter and otherwise. Results Cluster analysis categorized participants into three Clusters. Cluster 3 (n = 155) reported 100% SDU in their last sexual encounter (83.87% poppers use), whereas Clusters 1 (n = 581) and 2 (n = 154) reported none. Compared to other Clusters, Cluster 3 had significantly higher PrEP use (34.90% vs. 17.02% vs. 8.00%, p < 0.0001), more sexual acts over the past 12 months (35.80–61.30 vs. 31.30–56.10 and 4.37–21.22, p < 0.001), more regular (3.16 ± 4.37 vs. 2.27 ± 3.52 vs. 2.51 ± 2.53, p = 0.028) and casual partners (4.55 ± 6.55 vs. 2.48 ± 3.21 vs. 2.74 ± 3.66, p < 0.0001), more partners with STIs (8.39% vs. 3.79% vs. 3.90%, p = 0.029), and lower consistent condom use (48.53% vs. 59.41% vs. 72.28%, p < 0.0001). Cluster 1 had moderate frequency in all sexual acts except self-masturbation, which was most common in Cluster 2. Conclusion SDU is a stratum for identifying MSM subgroups, and MSM who reported SDU demonstrated higher sexual risk behaviors and PrEP usage. Among those not practicing SDU, self-masturbation is a key behavioral indicator for subgrouping.

description: In this paper, we study the bulk motion of a classical extended charge in flat spacetime. A formalism developed by W. G. Dixon is used to determine how the details of such a particle's internal structure influence its equations of motion. We place essentially no restrictions (other than boundedness) on the shape of the charge, and allow for inhomogeneity, internal currents, elasticity, and spin. Even if the angular momentum remains small, many such systems are found to be affected by large self-interaction effects beyond the standard Lorentz-Dirac force. These are particularly significant if the particle's charge density fails to be much greater than its 3-current density (or vice versa) in the center-of-mass frame. Additional terms also arise in the equations of motion if the dipole moment is too large, and when the `center-of-electromagnetic mass' is far from the `center-of-bare mass' (roughly speaking). These conditions are often quite restrictive. General equations of motion were also derived under the assumption that the particle can only interact with the radiative component of its self-field. These are much simpler than the equations derived using the full retarded self-field; as are the conditions required to recover the Lorentz-Dirac equation.

description: Organic farmers are dependent on alternative, biology-based insect control methods and are innovative in their on-farm experimentation with new strategies. By understanding the factors that influence the insect management portfolio chosen by organic farmers, research and education programs to promote sustainable insect management practices for all farmers may be devised. A negative binomial model of the factors influencing the number of alternative practices adopted is applied to survey data from American organic farmers. It is found that college-educated farmers with smaller acreages, more than half their acreage in horticultural production, and extensive experience with organic production have the greatest diversity in their insect management portfolios. There is a strong indication that on a regional basis, uncertainty over institutional and infrastructure support for organic agriculture results in the adoption of more strategies.
Birthweight, maternal age and social class as risk factors for childhood leukemia

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This thesis was designed to evaluate the effects of birth weight, maternal age and parental social class on the risk of childhood leukemia using a population based case control study of 798 participants in five Canadian provinces. Children between the ages of 0-14, who were diagnosed between 1990 and 1994 in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, or 1990 to June 1995 in British Columbia and Quebec were eligible for inclusion in the study. Controls were matched on age, gender and province of residence. Response rate was 90% for cases and 76% for controls and data was collected via personal interview with parents. The primary area of investigation was the assessment of exposure to electromagnetic fields as a risk factor for childhood leukemia. Interview data on a large number of variables were available allowing for consideration of other potential risk factors. Univariate analysis suggested a case group with lower maternal age at birth, lower levels of household income, maternal and paternal education and occupational status. There was no evidence of a significant effect for birthweight on disease risk. In a multivariate analysis, four models were constructed encompassing variables related to social class, behaviour, demographics and environmental tobacco smoke. These were individually assessed using logistic regression techniques. The persisting variables were then combined and assessed in a final logistic model. Variables shown to affect disease risk in the final model were Asian ethnic origin, (OR = 3.65, CI = 1.27-10.52, p value = .02); maternal smoking of 10-20 cigarettes per day during pregnancy, (OR = 1.80, CI = 1.12-2.90, p value = .02); mother's usual occupation in high SES category, OR = 0.48, (CI = 0.26 - 0.88, p value = .02); maternal alcohol use of 1-2 drinks per week in the month before pregnancy, OR = (1.77, CI = 1.17 - 2.70, p value = .007).

description: Valley photonic crystal (VPhC) waveguides have attracted much attention because of their ability to enable robust light propagation against sharp bends. However, their demonstration using a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS)-compatible process suitable for mass production has not yet been reported at the telecom wavelengths. Here, by tailoring the photomask to suppress the optical proximity effect, VPhC patterns comprising equilateral triangular holes were successfully fabricated using photolithography. We optically characterized the fabricated VPhC devices using microscopic optics with near-infrared imaging. For comparison, we also fabricated and characterized line-defect W1 PhC waveguides, in which the transmission intensities decreased at some regions within the operating bandwidth when sharp turns were introduced into the waveguide. In contrast, the developed VPhC waveguides can robustly propagate light around the C-band telecommunication wavelengths, even in the presence of sharp bends. Our results highlight the potential of VPhC waveguides as an interconnection technology in silicon topological photonic integrated circuits.

description: A three-dimensional orbifold $(Σ, γ_i, n_i)$, where $Σ$ is a rational homology sphere, has a universal abelian orbifold covering, whose covering group is the first orbifold homology. A singular pair $(X,C)$, where $X$ is a normal surface singularity with $\mathbb Q$HS link and $C$ is a Weil divisor, gives rise on its boundary to an orbifold. One studies the preceding orbifold notions in the algebro-geometric setting, in particular defining the universal abelian log cover of a pair. A first key theorem computes the orbifold homology from an appropriate resolution of the pair. In analogy with the case where $C$ is empty and one considers the universal abelian cover, under certain conditions on a resolution graph one can construct pairs and their universal abelian log covers. Such pairs are called orbifold splice quotients.

description: For a stochastic process with state space some Polish space, this paper gives sufficient conditions on the initial and conditional distributions for the joint law to satisfy Gaussian concentration inequalities, transportation inequalities and also logarithmic Sobolev inequalities in the case of the Euclidean space. In several cases, the obtained constants are of optimal order of growth with respect to the number of variables, or are independent of this number. These results extend results known for mutually independent variables to weakly dependent variables under Dobrushin-Shlosman type conditions.
Relics of metal-free low mass stars exploding as thermonuclear supernovae

description: Renewed interest in the first stars that were formed in the universe has led to the discovery of extremely iron-poor stars. Since several competing scenarios exist, our understanding of the mass range that determines the observed elemental abundances remains unclear. In this study, we consider three well-studied metal-poor stars in terms of the theoretical supernovae (SNe) model. Our results suggest that the observed abundance patterns in the metal-poor star BD +80 245 and the pair of stars HD 134439/40 agree strongly with the theoretical possibility that these stars inherited their heavy element abundance patterns from SNe initiated by thermonuclear runaways in the degenerate carbon-oxygen cores of primordial asymptotic giant branch stars with \~3.5-5 solar masses. Recent theoretical calculations have predicted that such SNe could be originated from metal-free stars in the intermediate mass range. On the other hand, intermediate mass stars containing some metals would end their lives as white dwarfs after expelling their envelopes in the wind due to intense momentum transport from outgoing photons to heavy elements. This new pathway for the formation of SNe requires that stars are formed from the primordial gas. Thus, we suggest that stars of a few solar masses were formed from the primordial gas and that some of them caused thermonuclear explosions when the mass of their degenerate carbon-oxygen cores increased to the Chandrasekhar limit without experiencing efficient mass loss.

Search for resonances in events with photon and jet final states in proton-proton collisions at $sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV

description: A search for resonances in events with the $γ$+jet final state has been performed using proton-proton collision data collected at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV by the CMS experiment at the LHC. The total data analyzed correspond to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb$^{-1}$. Models of excited quarks and quantum black holes are considered. Using a wide-jet reconstruction for the candidate jet, the $γ$+jet invariant mass spectrum measured in data is examined for the presence of resonances over the standard model continuum background. The background is estimated by fitting the mass distribution with a functional form. The data exhibit no statistically significant deviations from the expected standard model background. Exclusion limits at 95% confidence level on the resonance mass and other parameters are set. Excited light-flavor quarks (excited bottom quarks) are excluded up to a mass of 6.0 (3.8) TeV. Quantum black hole production is excluded for masses up to 7.5 (5.2) TeV in the Arkani-Hamed-Dimopoulos-Dvali (Randall-Sundrum) model. These lower mass bounds are the most stringent to date among those obtained in the $γ$+jet final state.

Phase Transitions in Small Systems: Microcanonical vs. Canonical Ensembles

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: We compare phase transition(-like) phenomena in small model systems for both microcanonical and canonical ensembles. The model systems correspond to a few classical (non-quantum) point particles confined in a one-dimensional box and interacting via Lennard-Jones-type pair potentials. By means of these simple examples it can be shown already that the microcanonical thermodynamic functions of a small system may exhibit rich oscillatory behavior and, in particular, singularities (non-analyticities) separating different microscopic phases. These microscopic phases may be identified as different microphysical dissociation states of the small system. The microscopic oscillations of microcanonical thermodynamic quantities (e.g. temperature, heat capacity, or pressure) should in principle be observable in suitably designed evaporation/dissociation experiments (which must realize the physical preconditions of the microcanonical ensemble). By contrast, singular phase transitions cannot occur, if a small system is embedded into an infinite heat bath (thermostat), corresponding to the canonical ensemble. For the simple model systems under consideration, it is nevertheless possible to identify a smooth canonical phase transition by studying the distribution of complex zeros of the canonical partition function.

description: Entanglement transitions in quantum dynamics present a novel class of phase transitions in non-equilibrium systems. When a many-body quantum system undergoes unitary evolution interspersed with monitored random measurements, the steady-state can exhibit a phase transition between volume and area-law entanglement. There is a correspondence between measurement-induced transitions in non-unitary quantum circuits in $d$ spatial dimensions and classical statistical mechanical models in $d+1$ dimensions. In certain limits these models map to percolation, but there is analytical and numerical evidence to suggest that away from these limits the universality class should generically be distinct from percolation. Intriguingly, despite these arguments, numerics on 1D qubit circuits give bulk exponents which are nonetheless close to those of 2D percolation, with possible differences in surface behavior. In the first part of this work we study the critical properties of 2D Clifford circuits. In the bulk, we find many properties suggested by the percolation picture, including matching bulk exponents, and an inverse power-law for the critical entanglement growth, $S(t,L) \sim L(1 - a/t)$, which saturates to an area-law. We then utilize a graph-state based algorithm to analyze in 1D and 2D the critical properties of entanglement clusters in the steady state. We show that in a model with a simple geometric map to percolation, the projective transverse field Ising model, the entanglement clusters are governed by percolation surface exponents. However, in the Clifford models we find large deviations in the cluster exponents from those of surface percolation, highlighting the breakdown of any possible geometric map to percolation. Given the evidence for deviations from the percolation universality class, our results raise the question of why nonetheless many bulk properties behave similarly to percolation.

Measuring diffuse neutrino fluxes with IceCube

Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this paper the sensitivity of a future kilometer-sized neutrino detector to detect and measure the diffuse flux of high energy neutrinos is evaluated. Event rates in established detection channels, such as muon events from charged current muon neutrino interactions or cascade events from electron neutrino and tau neutrino interactions, are calculated using a detailed Monte Carlo simulation. Neutrino fluxes as expected from prompt charm decay in the atmosphere or from astrophysical sources such as Active Galactic Nuclei are modeled assuming power laws. The ability to measure the normalization and slope of these spectra is then analyzed. It is found that the cascade channel generally has a high sensitivity for the detection and characterization of the diffuse flux, when compared to what is expected for the upgoing- and downgoing-muon channels. A flux at the level of the Waxman-Bahcall upper bound should be detectable in all channels separately while a combination of the information of the different channels will allow detection of a flux more than one order of magnitude lower. Neutrinos from the prompt decay of charmed mesons in the atmosphere should be detectable in future measurements for all but the lowest predictions.

description: Пандемия коронавируса снизила деловую и социальную активность общества во всем мире. Но, к сожалению, причины и источники споров сохранились. Более того, в ряде случаев усилия по сдерживанию распространения коронавируса привели к новым конфликтам. Так, стороны договорных отношений повсеместно перечитывают свои контракты, чтобы выяснить, относится ли пандемия к форс-мажорным обстоятельствам. Как, в условиях карантина, работодателю регулировать отношения с работниками. Растет количество конфликтов в семьях, находящихся на самоизоляции в замкнутом пространстве своего дома. При этом, участники спора не имеют возможности обратиться в суд для защиты своих интересов, поскольку они также были переведены на особый режим работы. Повсеместное социальное дистанцирование открывает новые возможности для альтернативных процедур разрешения споров. Одной из таких процедур и особенностям ее применения в новых реалиях, посвящена статья.

description: While particle beam steering (and in particular, "scraping") in accelerators by bent channeling crystals is an established technique extensively tested at IHEP Protvino and other major high-energy labs, an interesting question is how one could improve channeling capabilities by applying modern nanotechnology. Theoretical research of nanotube channeling was in progress over recent years. In this work, we assess potential benefits from nanotube channeling for real accelerator systems. We report simulation studies of channeling in nanostructured material (carbon SWNT and MWNT) tested for possible serving as a primary scraper for the collimation systems of hadron colliders. The advantages of nanostructured material as a potential choice for a primary scraper in a high-energy accelerator such as LHC or the Tevatron are discussed in comparison to crystal lattices and amorphous material. We evaluate physical processes relevant to this application and reveal nanotechnology requirements.

description: Evidence Networks can enable Bayesian model comparison when state-of-the-art methods (e.g. nested sampling) fail and even when likelihoods or priors are intractable or unknown. Bayesian model comparison, i.e. the computation of Bayes factors or evidence ratios, can be cast as an optimization problem. Though the Bayesian interpretation of optimal classification is well-known, here we change perspective and present classes of loss functions that result in fast, amortized neural estimators that directly estimate convenient functions of the Bayes factor. This mitigates numerical inaccuracies associated with estimating individual model probabilities. We introduce the leaky parity-odd power (l-POP) transform, leading to the novel ``l-POP-Exponential'' loss function. We explore neural density estimation for data probability in different models, showing it to be less accurate and scalable than Evidence Networks. Multiple real-world and synthetic examples illustrate that Evidence Networks are explicitly independent of dimensionality of the parameter space and scale mildly with the complexity of the posterior probability density function. This simple yet powerful approach has broad implications for model inference tasks. As an application of Evidence Networks to real-world data we compute the Bayes factor for two models with gravitational lensing data of the Dark Energy Survey. We briefly discuss applications of our methods to other, related problems of model comparison and evaluation in implicit inference settings.

The Unusual Spectrum of the Ultra Luminous X-ray Source, M82 X-1

description: The results of a spectral analysis, using {\it XMM-Newton} and {\it Chandra} data of the brightest ultra luminous X-ray source in the nearby galaxy M82, are presented. The spectrum of M82 X-1, was found to be unusually hard (photon spectral index $Γ\approx 1$) with a sharp cutoff at $\approx 6$ keV. Disk black body emission model requires a nonphysically high temperature. Instead, the spectrum is better described, with a lower reduced $χ^2$, as emission due to nearly saturated Comptonization of photons in an optically thick ($τ\approx 10-30$, depending on the geometry) plasma having a temperature $kT \approx 2$ keV. This is in contrast to the high energy spectra of other black hole systems, which are relatively steeper ($Γ> 1.5$) and hence are modeled as un-saturated thermal and/or non-thermal Comptonization of soft photons, in an optically thin ($τ\approx 1$) high temperature plasma. An Iron line emission which is marginally resolved ($σ\sim 0.2$ keV) is required to fit the data. We argue that the standard geometries for the X-ray producing region, which are an optically thin inner disk or an uniform/patchy corona on top of a cold disk, are not applicable to this source. Alternatively, the geometry of the X-ray producing region could be a large sphere surrounding a cold accretion disk or an optically thick inner disk region which cools by bremsstrahlung self-Comptonization. For the latter scenario, such an inner disk region, whose effective optical depth to absorption is less than unity, is expected in the standard accretion disk theory for near Eddington accretion rates.

description: We present sub-arcsecond, Multi-Element Radio Linked Interferometer (MERLIN) observations of the decimetre radio continuum structure and neutral hydrogen (HI) absorption from the nuclear region of the starburst galaxy NGC 4194 (the Medusa Merger). The continuum structure of the central kiloparsec of the Medusa has been imaged, revealing a pair of compact radio components surrounded by more diffuse, weak radio emission. Using the constraints provided by these observations and those within the literature we conclude that the majority of this radio emission is related to the ongoing star-formation in this merger system. With these observations we also trace deep HI absorption across the detected radio continuum structure. The absorbing HI gas structure exhibits large variations in column densities. The largest column densities are found toward the south of the nuclear radio continuum, co-spatial with both a nuclear dust lane and peaks in $^{12}$CO (1->0) emission. The dynamics of the HI absorption, which are consistent with lower resolution $^{12}$CO emission observations, trace a shallow north-south velocity gradient of ~320km/s/kpc. This gradient is interpreted as part of a rotating gas structure within the nuclear region. The HI and CO velocity structure, in conjunction with the observed gas column densities and distribution, is further discussed in the context of the fuelling and gas physics of the ongoing starburst within the centre of this merger.

description: Digital pathology has revolutionized cancer diagnosis by leveraging Content-Based Medical Image Retrieval (CBMIR) for analyzing histopathological Whole Slide Images (WSIs). CBMIR enables searching for similar content, enhancing diagnostic reliability and accuracy. In 2020, breast and prostate cancer constituted 11.7% and 14.1% of cases, respectively, as reported by the Global Cancer Observatory (GCO). The proposed Unsupervised CBMIR (UCBMIR) replicates the traditional cancer diagnosis workflow, offering a dependable method to support pathologists in WSI-based diagnostic conclusions. This approach alleviates pathologists' workload, potentially enhancing diagnostic efficiency. To address the challenge of the lack of labeled histopathological images in CBMIR, a customized unsupervised Convolutional Auto Encoder (CAE) was developed, extracting 200 features per image for the search engine component. UCBMIR was evaluated using widely-used numerical techniques in CBMIR, alongside visual evaluation and comparison with a classifier. The validation involved three distinct datasets, with an external evaluation demonstrating its effectiveness. UCBMIR outperformed previous studies, achieving a top 5 recall of 99% and 80% on BreaKHis and SICAPv2, respectively, using the first evaluation technique. Precision rates of 91% and 70% were achieved for BreaKHis and SICAPv2, respectively, using the second evaluation technique. Furthermore, UCBMIR demonstrated the capability to identify various patterns in patches, achieving an 81% accuracy in the top 5 when tested on an external image from Arvaniti.

description: We devise a machine learning technique to solve the general problem of inferring network links that have time-delays. The goal is to do this purely from time-series data of the network nodal states. This task has applications in fields ranging from applied physics and engineering to neuroscience and biology. To achieve this, we first train a type of machine learning system known as reservoir computing to mimic the dynamics of the unknown network. We formulate and test a technique that uses the trained parameters of the reservoir system output layer to deduce an estimate of the unknown network structure. Our technique, by its nature, is non-invasive, but is motivated by the widely-used invasive network inference method whereby the responses to active perturbations applied to the network are observed and employed to infer network links (e.g., knocking down genes to infer gene regulatory networks). We test this technique on experimental and simulated data from delay-coupled opto-electronic oscillator networks. We show that the technique often yields very good results particularly if the system does not exhibit synchrony. We also find that the presence of dynamical noise can strikingly enhance the accuracy and ability of our technique, especially in networks that exhibit synchrony.

Low and intermediate mass star yields.II: The evolution of nitrogen abundances

description: We analyze the impact on the Galactic nitrogen abundances of using a new set of low and intermediate mass star yields. These yields have a significant yield of primary nitrogen from intermediate mass stars. We use these yields as an input to a Galactic Chemical Evolution model and study the nitrogen abundances in the halo and in the disc, and compare them with models obtained using other yield sets and with a large amount of observational data. We find that, using these new yields, our model adequately reproduce the observed trends. In particular, these yields solve the historical problem of the evolution of nitrogen, giving the right level of relative abundance N/O by the production of a primary component in intermediate mass stars. Moreover, using different evolutionary rates in each radial region of the Galaxy, we may explain the observed N dispersion.

description: We investigate the rare electromagnetic decays of neutral vector mesons (exemplified by $J/ψ$, $Υ$, $ρ^0$, $ω,ϕ$, \ldots) into four charged leptons ($2(e^+e^-)$, $2(μ^+μ^-)$, $2(τ^+τ^-)$, $e^+e^-μ^+μ^-$, $e^+e^-τ^+τ^-$, \ldots) at lowest order in QED. In contrast to the case of vector meson decay into a single pair of leptons, the lepton mass must be retained in these four-lepton decay channels to cutoff the mass singularity. Owing to more pronounced collinear enhancement, the branching fractions of vector mesons decays into $ 2(e^+e^-)$ are considerably greater than those for decays into $2(μ^+μ^-)$. The decay channels $J/ψ(Υ)\to 2(e^+e^-), e^+e^-μ^+μ^-$ are predicted to have branching fractions of order $10^{-5}$, which appear to have bright observation prospect at {\tt BESIII}, {\tt Belle 2} and {\tt LHC} experiments.

description: Organic farmers make system-level crop protection decisions that combine complementary insect, disease, nematode, and weed management strategies. Data from a national survey of U.S. organic farmers were used in a multivariate count data model to identify the farm and regional factors influencing the intensity of adoption across the linked pest management categories. The results showed that weed management is of greatest concern to organic farmers. More intensive information-seeking and on-farm experimentation, higher educational attainment, and intensity of commitment to organic farming were positively related to the number of weed control strategies adopted. Predictions of adoption intensity based on this model and customized to farm and region specifications will give information providers lead time to develop technical support for reduced chemical pest management systems.
