description: The assessment of natural hazards and risk has traditionally been built upon the estimation of threat maps, which are used to depict potential danger posed by a particular hazard throughout a given area. But when a hazard event strikes, infrastructure is a significant factor that can determine if the situation becomes a disaster. The vulnerability of the population in a region does not only depend on the area’s local threat, but also on the geographical accessibility of
the area. This makes threat maps by themselves insufficient for supporting real-time decision-making, especially for those tasks that involve the use of the road network, such as management of relief operations, aid distribution, or planning of evacuation routes, among others. To overcome this problem, this paper proposes a multidisciplinary approach divided in two parts. First, data fusion of satellite-based threat data and open infrastructure data from OpenStreetMap, introducing a threat-based routing service. Second, the visualization of this data through cartographic generalization and schematization. This emphasizes critical areas along roads in a simple way and allows users to visually evaluate the impact natural hazards may have on infrastructure. We develop and illustrate this methodology with a case study of landslide threat for an area in Colombia.

description: We attempt to constrain the efficiency of additional transport or mixing processes that reduce the effect of atomic diffusion in stellar atmospheres. We apply spectral synthesis methods to spectra observed with the GIRAFFE spectrograph on the VLT to estimate abundances of Mg, Ti, Fe, and Ba in stars in the metal-poor globular cluster M30. To the abundances we fit trends of abundances predicted by stellar evolution models assuming different efficiencies of additional transport or mixing processes. The fitting procedure attempts to take into account the effects of parameter-dependent systematic errors in the derived abundances. We find that the parameter $T_0$, which describes the efficiency of additional transport or mixing processes, can almost certainly be constrained to the narrow range $\log_{10}{\left( T_0 / \left[ \mathrm{K} \right] \right)}$ between $6.09$ and $6.2$. This corresponds to decreased abundances for stars at the main sequence turn-off point compared to the red giant branch by $0.2\,\mathrm{dex}$ for Mg, $0.1\,\mathrm{dex}$ for Fe, and $0.07\,\mathrm{dex}$ for Ti. We also find that while our estimates do have non-negligible systematic errors stemming from the continuum placement and the assumed microturbulence, our method can take them into account. Our results partly amend the results of an earlier paper in this article series, that tentatively used a value of $\log_{10}{\left( T_0 / \left[ \mathrm{K} \right] \right)} = 6.0$ when modelling the Spite plateau of lithium. To more easily distinguish physical effects from systematic errors, we recommend that studies of this kind focus on elements for which the expected surface abundances as functions of effective temperature have a distinct structure and cover a wide range.

description: Background: Malaria is an old life-threatening parasitic disease that is still affecting many people, mainly children living in sub-Saharan Africa. Availability of effective antimalarial drugs played a significant role in the treatment and control of malaria. However, recent information on the emergence of P. falciparum parasites resistant to one of the artemisinin-based combination therapies suggests the need for discovery of new drug molecules. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the antiplasmodial activity of extracts, fractions and isolated compound from medicinal plants traditionally used in the treatment of malaria in Tanzania.

Methods: Dry powdered plant materials were extracted by cold macerations using different solvents. Norcaesalpin D was isolated by column chromatography from dichloromethane root extract of Caesalpinia bonducella and its structure was assigned based on the spectral data. Crude extracts, fractions and isolated compound were evaluated for antiplasmodial activity against chloroquine-sensitive P. falciparum (3D7), chloroquine-resistant P. falciparum (Dd2, K1) and artemisinin-resistant P. falciparum (IPC 5202 Battambang, IPC 4912 Mondolkiri) strains using the parasite lactate dehydrogenase assay.

Results: The results indicated that extracts of Erythrina schliebenii, Holarrhena pubescens, Dissotis melleri and C. bonducella exhibited antiplasmodial activity against Dd2 parasites. Ethanolic root extract of E. schliebenii had an IC50 of 1.87 mu g/mL while methanolic and ethanolic root extracts of H. pubescens exhibited an IC50 = 2.05 mu g/mL and IC50 = 2.43 mu g/mL, respectively. Fractions from H. pubescens and C. bonducella roots were found to be highly active against K1, Dd2 and artemisinin-resistant parasites. Norcaesalpin D from C. bonducella root extract was active with IC50 of 0.98, 1.85 and 2.13 mu g/mL against 3D7, Dd2 and IPC 4912-Mondolkiri parasites, respectively.

Conclusions: Antiplasmodial activity of norcaesalpin D and extracts of E. schliebenii, H. pubescens, D. melleri and C. bonducella reported in this study requires further attention for the discovery of antimalarial lead compounds for future drug development.

description: We present an analytical model for the time-developing turbulent boundary layer (TD-TBL) over a flat plate. The model provides explicit formulae for the temporal behavior of the wall-shear stress and both the temporal and spatial distributions of the mean streamwise velocity, the turbulence kinetic energy and Reynolds shear stress. The resulting profiles are in good agreement with the DNS results of spatially-developing turbulent boundary layers at momentum thickness Reynolds number equal to 1430 and 2900. Our analytical model is, to the best of our knowledge, the first of its kind for TD-TBL.

description: We study the dynamical instability in spherical gravitating systems with core using the Ricci curvature criterion. By means of numerical estimations of the Ricci curvature for static N-body systems, it is shown that the core can both, increase and decrease the degree of instability in the system. This behavior is determined by the radius of the core and differs from the role of a central mass.

subject: FOS: Psychology

description: This study will examine patterns of variance in dimensional measures of gender expression both within and between diverse gender identity categories. We will compare results across two data sets: a survey of adults recruited via social media (N = 1,700, >70% reporting sexual and/or gender minority identities) and the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) dataset of nearly 12,000 youth, ages 9-10 at baseline. We hypothesize that across both samples there will be variance in gender expression (measured as two continua of masculinity and femininity in the adult sample) within categorical gender identities (boys/men, girls/women, nonbinary) and overlap in gender expression between categories of gender identity. We will also estimate the correlation between gender expression nonconformity and sexual orientation. Our study will explore the variation and consistency across age cohorts to potentially inform the development of gender over time. These results will explore the importance of recognizing gender as complex spectra to better represent diverse personal experiences.

We demonstrate the effect of overlapping beams on the number of degrees of freedom of the array, and on the ability of the array to recover a source. We show that the best images are obtained using overlapping beams, contrary to common practise, and show how the dynamic range of a phased array directly affects the image quality.

The Complete Vertex p-Center Problem

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: Optimization and Control (math.OC)
subject: Combinatorics (math.CO)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: The vertex p-center problem consists of locating p facilities among a set of M potential sites such that the maximum distance from any demand to its closest located facility is minimized. The complete vertex p-center problem solves the p-center problem for all p from 1 to the total number of sites, resulting in a multi-objective trade-off curve between the number of facilities and the service distance required to achieve full coverage. This trade-off provides a reference to planners and decision-makers, enabling them to easily visualize the consequences of choosing different coverage design criteria for the given spatial configuration of the problem. We present two fast algorithms for solving the complete p-center problem, one using the classical formulation but trimming variables while still maintaining optimality, the other converting the problem to a location set covering problem and solving for all distances in the distance matrix. We also discuss scenarios where it makes sense to solve the problem via brute-force enumeration. All methods result in significant speed-ups, with the set covering method reducing computation times by many orders of magnitude.

description: Background: In our recent experiment, $^9$Be+p at 5.67A MeV, the breakup decay rates to the 3 configurations, $α$+$α$+n, $^8$Be$^*$+n and $^5$He+$^4$He of $^9$Be, were observed and quantified, in a full kinematics approach. Unfolding step by step the accessibility to the above configurations, it will require similar studies at lower and higher energies as well as the interpretation of the data in a theoretical framework. Purpose: Investigate the breakup decay rate of $^9$Be+p at 2.72A MeV, where the $α$+$α$+n configuration is mainly accessible. Compare and interpret data at 2.72A MeV and 5.67A MeV into a 4-body CDCC formalism; Point out and discuss couplings to continuum. Methods: Our experimental method includes an exclusive breakup measurement in a full kinematic approach of $^9$Be incident on a proton target at 2.72A MeV, together with elastic scattering and other reaction channels measurements under the same experimental conditions. The interpretation of the data at 2.72A MeV and 5.67A MeV is considered in a 4-body CDCC approach, using the Transformed Harmonic Oscillator method for the 3-body projectile. Results: An elastic scattering angular distribution at 2.72A MeV is measured, which compares very well with CDCC calculations, indicating a strong coupling to continuum. At the same energy, the measured breakup and total reaction cross sections present good agreement with the calculated values. Further on, the elastic scattering and breakup cross section data at 5.67A MeV are found in very good agreement with the CDCC calculations. The present results support further our 3-body model for the structure of $^9$Be, validating relevant radiative reaction rates obtained previously.

Year: 2019

description: The purpose of the project was to develop the Discounting Inventory (DI), a measure of individual differences in delay, probability, effort, and social discounting, all related to behavioral impulsivity. Over 400 items relating to four types of discounting were generated. Next, a study followed by a series of psychometric analyses of data obtained from a group of 2843 individuals was conducted. Principal Component Analysis yielded a four-factor structure of data, reflecting the four types of discounting. The results of Confirmatory Factor Analysis showed good fit of the four-factor model to data. Through several iterations of retaining and deleting items on the basis of their component loadings, item intercorrelations, and contribution to coefficient alphas, the total number of items was reduced to 48. The final 48-item version of the inventory has satisfactory psychometric characteristics, including Cronbach’s alpha and test–retest stability. In addition, significant correlations were observed between the DI and traditional discounting instruments, suggesting that the DI measures a construct similar to the behavioral discounting process. The development of the tool was based on the assumption that discounting is a personality trait. However, the present data suggest that discounting may reflect more a state than trait function.

description: A two-mode single-atom laser is considered, with the aim of generating entanglement in macroscopic light. Two transitions in the four-level gain medium atom independently interact with the two cavity modes, while two other transitions are driven by control laser fields. Atomic relaxation as well as cavity losses are taken into account. We show that this system is a source of macroscopic entangled light over a wide range of control parameters and initial states of the cavity field.

The themes of justice and grace in three of Friedrich Dürrenmatt’s early works
Creators: name: Shaffer, Verina Tracey
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: In this study I am attempting to shed some light on the themes of justice and grace as they are expressed in three different works by Friedrich Durrenmatt, a contemporary Swiss playwright. The drama Es steht geschrieben (1947), the comedy Ein Engel kommt nach Babylon (1953) and the radio-play Das Unternehmen der Wega (1954) were written within a time-span of approximately eight years and can therefore be counted among the author's early works (taking into consideration that his most recent play was published in 1976). In the playwright's first drama, Es steht geschrieben, the topics of justice and grace are presented in balanced proportions, in their negative as well as positive aspects. The themes are expressed by frequent use of symbols; by parody, often of biblical revelations and events; by caricatures of certain characters; and by grotesque contrast in situations and the behaviour of the relevant types. A good deal of irony, satire and humor is explicit or implied as well. In addition, I tried to draw attention to the nature of immanent justice and grace in this drama. In Ein Engel kommt nach Babylon, the two themes are not as evenly distributed as is the case in the first work discussed. The predominance of grace seems to have resulted in less severity in the content of this play. Although the theme of justice clearly exists, it is outweighed here, by the impact of grace on man. I have attempted to elucidate Durren-matt's approach and choice of genre in conveying both of the themes in this comedy, discussing form as well as the characters employed. In Das Unternehmen der Wega, justice and grace are almost exclusively of an immanent kind. The topics are conveyed predominantly by the attitudes, motivations and behaviour of the various individuals or groups. There is little symbolism in this play but irony and satire are implicit throughout. It is a "secular" work as opposed to the two previously discussed ones, which show a strong religious content. This makes for a different philosophical outlook in this play on basic problems and their possible solutions in human existence. In all three works Durrenmatt has demonstrated convincingly, I think, how justice and grace are perceived and interpreted. Acceptance or rejection of these concepts are contingent upon the attitudes and insights of the individuals or groups in question; whether for better or worse, is still up to man's free choice.
EVALUATING PROVIDER PERCEIVED IMPROVED HEPATITIS-C MANAGEMENT SKILLS AFTER HYBRID SCAN-ECHO EDUCATIONAL SERIES

description: Hepatitis-C is a viral infection leading to chronic liver inflammation or cirrhosis that can be potentially fatal. However, the disease is treatable, and it is thus alarming that this highly manageable and treatable disease continues to needlessly end lives because those infected are often not readily screened, diagnosed, treated, and managed effectively. Although the segment of the population known as the birth cohort (those born between 1945-1965) are disproportionately impacted by Hepatitis-C (HCV), many are not readily screened, diagnosed, treated, and managed successfully over time. Twenty-one primary care providers (PCPs) participated in a hybrid Specialty Care Access Network-Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes (SCAN-ECHO) educational and management series starting in 2016. Subsequently, they were invited to complete an anonymous online survey via SurveyMonkey regarding their related perceptions of increased competency in the identification, screening, diagnosis, treatment and ongoing management of patients with Hepatitis-C. Ten (48%) PCPs completed the online survey. Descriptive analysis showed that the vast majority (90%) felt that participation in the hybrid SCAN-ECHO educational series positively impacted the following: (1) confidence in knowledge about Hepatitis-C and chronic disease; (2) confidence in Hepatitis-C management skills; and (3) attitudes towards HCV patient care. iv Exposing PCPs to experts such as through a hybrid SCAN-ECHO educational and management series can augment their knowledge and skills in the identification, screening, diagnosis, treatment and ongoing management of patients with Hepatitis-C. In turn, they will report overall positive attitudes about the importance of HCV patient care strategies and practices.

description: Discovery of topologically protected surface states, believed to be immune to weak disorder and thermal effects, opened up a new avenue to reveal exotic fundamental science and advanced technology. While time-reversal symmetry plays the key role in most such materials, the bulk crystalline symmetries such as mirror symmetry preserve the topological properties of topological crystalline insulators (TCIs). It is apparent that any structural change may alter the topological properties of TCIs. To investigate this relatively unexplored landscape, we study the temperature evolution of the Dirac fermion states in an archetypical mirror-symmetry protected TCI, SnTe employing high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and density functional theory studies. Experimental results reveal a perplexing scenario; the bulk bands observed at 22 K move nearer to the Fermi level at 60 K and again shift back to higher binding energies at 120 K. The slope of the surface Dirac bands at 22 K becomes smaller at 60 K and changes back to a larger value at 120 K. Our results from the first-principles calculations suggest that these anomalies can be attributed to the evolution of the hybridization physics with complex structural changes induced by temperature. In addition, we discover drastically reduced intensity of the Dirac states at the Fermi level at high temperatures may be due to complex evolution of anharmonicity, strain, etc. These results address robustness of the topologically protected surface states due to thermal effects and emphasize importance of covalency and anharmonicity in the topological properties of such emerging quantum materials.

High-resolution observations of the solar photosphere reveal the presence of fine structures, in particular the so-called magnetic bright points (MBPs), which are small-scale features associated with strong magnetic field regions of the order of kilogauss (kG). It is especially relevant to study these magnetic elements, which are extensively detected at all moments of the solar cycle, in order to establish their contribution to the behaviour of the solar atmosphere, and ultimately a plausible role within the coronal heating problem. Aims. We aim to characterise the size and velocity distributions of MBPs in the solar photosphere in two different datasets of quiet Sun images acquired with the Solar Optical Telescope SOT/Hinode and the High-resolution Fast Imager HiFI/GREGOR, in the G-band (4308 angstroms). Methods. In order to detect the MBPs, an automatic segmentation and identification algorithm was used. Next, the identified features were tracked to measure their proper motions. Finally, a statistical analysis of hundreds of MBPs was carried out, generating histograms for areas, diameters, and horizontal velocities. Results. This work establishes that areas and diameters of MBPs display log-normal distributions that are well fitted by two different components, whereas the velocity vector components follow Gaussians, and the vector magnitude follows a Rayleigh distribution again revealing a two-component composition for all vector elements. Conclusions. The results can be interpreted as due to the presence of two different populations of MBPs in the solar photosphere, one likely related to stronger network magnetic flux elements and the other one to weaker intranetwork flux elemens. In particular, this work concludes on the effect of the different spatial resolutions of the GREGOR and Hinode telescopes, affecting detections and average values.

description: Abstract: Affinity-based proteomics has enabled scalable quantification of thousands of protein targets in blood enhancing biomarker discovery, understanding of disease mechanisms, and genetic evaluation of drug targets in humans through protein quantitative trait loci (pQTLs). Here, we integrate two partly complementary techniques—the aptamer-based SomaScan® v4 assay and the antibody-based Olink assays—to systematically assess phenotypic consequences of hundreds of pQTLs discovered for 871 protein targets across both platforms. We create a genetically anchored cross-platform proteome-phenome network comprising 547 protein–phenotype connections, 36.3% of which were only seen with one of the two platforms suggesting that both techniques capture distinct aspects of protein biology. We further highlight discordance of genetically predicted effect directions between assays, such as for PILRA and Alzheimer’s disease. Our results showcase the synergistic nature of these technologies to better understand and identify disease mechanisms and provide a benchmark for future cross-platform discoveries.

description: We consider an overdetermined fourth order boundary value problem in which the boundary value of the Laplacian of the solution is prescribed, in addition to the homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition. It is known that, in the case where the prescribed boundary value is a constant, this overdetermined problem has a solution if and only if the domain under consideration is a ball. In this paper, we study the shape of a domain admitting a solution to the overdetermined problem when the prescribed boundary value is slightly perturbed from a constant. We derive an integral identity for the fourth order Dirichlet problem and a nonlinear weighted trace inequality, and the combination of them results in a quantitative stability estimate which measures the deviation of a domain from a ball in terms of the perturbation of the boundary value.

description: Abstract: We analyse biased ensembles of trajectories for the random-field Ising model on a fully-connected lattice, which is described exactly by mean-field theory. By coupling the activity of the system to a dynamical biasing field, we find a range of dynamical phase transitions, including spontaneous symmetry breaking into ordered states. For weak bias, the phase behaviour is controlled by extrema of the free energy, which may be local minima or saddle points. For large bias, the system tends to states of extremal activity, which may differ strongly from free energy minima. We discuss connections of these results to random first-order transition theory of glasses, which motivates an extension of the analysis to random-field Ising models where the dynamical activity is not symmetric under magnetisation reversal.

The cross covariogram of a pair of polygons determines both polygons, with a few exceptions

description: The cross covariogram g_{K,L} of two convex sets K and L in R^n is the function which associates to each x in R^n the volume of the intersection of K and L+x. Very recently Averkov and Bianchi [AB] have confirmed Matheron's conjecture on the covariogram problem, that asserts that any planar convex body K is determined by the knowledge of g_{K,K}. The problem of determining the sets from their covariogram is relevant in probability, in statistical shape recognition and in the determination of the atomic structure of a quasicrystal from X-ray diffraction images. We prove that when K and L are convex polygons (and also when K and L are planar convex cones) g_{K,L} determines both K and L, up to a described family of exceptions. These results imply that, when K and L are in these classes, the information provided by the cross covariogram is so rich as to determine not only one unknown body, as required by Matheron's conjecture, but two bodies, with a few classified exceptions. These results are also used by Bianchi [Bia] to prove that any convex polytope P in R^3 is determined by g_{P,P}.

description: Hydrogen molecules have two nuclear spin isomers: ortho-H2 and para-H2. The ortho-to-para ratio (OPR) is known to affect chemical evolution as well as gas dynamics in space. Therefore, understanding the mechanism of OPR variation in astrophysical environments is important. In this work, the nuclear spin conversion (NSC) processes of H2 molecules on diamond-like carbon and graphite surfaces are investigated experimentally by employing temperature-programmed desorption and resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization methods. For the diamond-like carbon surface, the NSC time constants were determined at temperatures of 10-18 K and from 3900 plusminus 800 s at 10 K to 750 plusminus 40 s at 18 K. Similar NSC time constants and temperature dependence were observed for a graphite surface, indicating that bonding motifs (sp3 or sp2 hybridization) have little effect on the NSC rates.

description: We address the physical origin of the ultrarelativistic prompt emission (UPE) phase of GRB 190114C observed in the interval 1.9-3.99 s, by the Fermi-GBM in 10 keV-10 MeV . Thanks to high S/N ratio of Fermi-GBM data, a time resolved spectral analysis has evidenced a sequence of similar blackbody plus cutoff power-law spectra, on ever decreasing time intervals during the entire UPE phase. We assume that during the UPE phase, the inner engine of the GRB, composed of a Kerr black hole and a uniform test magnetic field B0, aligned with the BH rotation axis, operates in an overcritical field. We infer an $e^+e^-$ pair electromagnetic plasma in presence of a baryon load, a PEMB pulse, originating from a vacuum polarization quantum process in the inner engine. This initially optically thick plasma self-accelerates, giving rise at the transparency radius to the MeV radiation observed by Ferm-GBM. At trf > 3.99 s, the electric field becomes undercritical, and the inner engine operates in the classical electrodynamics regime and generate the GeV emission. During both the quantum and the classical electrodynamics processes, we determine the time varying mass and spin of the Kerr BH in the inner engine, fulfilling the Christodoulou-Hawking-Ruffini mass-energy formula. For the first time, we quantitatively show how the inner engine, by extracting the rotational energy of the Kerr BH, produces a series of PEMB pulses. We follow the quantum vacuum polarization process in sequences with decreasing time bins. We compute the Lorentz factors, the baryon loads and the radii at transparency, as well as the value of the magnetic field, assumed to be constant in each sequence. The fundamental hierarchical structure, linking the quantum electrodynamics regime to the classical electrodynamics regime, is characterized by the emission of blackholic quanta with a timescale $t=10^{-9}$s, and energy $E=10^{45}$ erg.

description: Capacity of conscious agents to perform genuine choices among future alternatives is a prerequisite for moral responsibility. Determinism that pervades classical physics, however, forbids free will, undermines the foundations of ethics, and precludes meaningful quantification of personal biases. To resolve that impasse, we utilize the characteristic indeterminism of quantum physics and derive a quantitative measure for the amount of free will manifested by the brain cortical network. The interaction between the central nervous system and the surrounding environment is shown to perform a quantum measurement upon the neural constituents, which actualize a single measurement outcome selected from the resulting quantum probability distribution. Inherent biases in the quantum propensities for alternative physical outcomes provide varying amounts of free will, which can be quantified with the expected information gain from learning the actual course of action chosen by the nervous system. For example, neuronal electric spikes evoke deterministic synaptic vesicle release in the synapses of sensory or somatomotor pathways, with no free will manifested. In cortical synapses, however, vesicle release is triggered indeterministically with probability of 0.35 per spike. This grants the brain cortex, with its over 100 trillion synapses, an amount of free will exceeding 96 terabytes per second. Although reliable deterministic transmission of sensory or somatomotor information ensures robust adaptation of animals to their physical environment, unpredictability of behavioral responses initiated by decisions made by the brain cortex is evolutionary advantageous for avoiding predators. Thus, free will may have a survival value and could be optimized through natural selection.

description: We present a microscopic description of molecular magnets by the multi-orbital Hubbard model, which includes the correlated hopping term, i.e. the dependence of electron hopping amplitude between orbitals on the degree of their occupancy. In the limit of large Coulomb on-site interaction, we derived the spin Hamiltonian using the perturbation theory. The magnetic coupling constant between two ions we determined in two different ways: a)from the expression obtained in the perturbation calculus and b)from the analysis of distances between the lowest levels of the energy spectrum obtained by the diagonalization of the multi-orbital Hubbard model. The procedure we use can be applied to various nanomagnets, but the final calculations we performed for the molecular ring $Cr_8$. We showed that the correlated hopping can reduce the antiferromagnetic exchange between ions, what is essential for a proper description of $Cr_8$.
