description: Militaries are frequently required to adapt if they are to fight effectively. Many militaries fail to meet this requirement. This dissertation proposes a theory to explain this variation in military adaptation. Command Climate Theory posits that open command climates—consisting of a shared knowledge base, integrated feedback mechanisms, and high levels of trust among a military’s senior commanders—positively influence the likelihood that a military will adapt. The theory stems from the puzzling divergence in battlefield conduction between the U.S. and British armies in the Normandy Campaign of the Second World War. Despite similarities in the two Allied armies’ objectives, size, and local resource base—as well as their identical enemy and the comparable terrain in which they fought—the U.S. Army adapted combined arms tactics and operational methods during the campaign, while the British Army pursued a maladapted, firepower-centric approach. The case studies provide a controlled comparison for theory development. Conceptualizing adaptation as an evolutionary response to the environmental demands of a military campaign, this dissertation builds a typology to facilitate the controlled comparison. As such, it assesses changes in a military’s force employment in terms of its fit with the environment. Evidence from the Normandy cases suggests that variation in each army’s command climate explains why the U.S. Army made changes to its force employment that were adaptive when faced with an environmental mismatch, while the British Army maladaptive changes as the campaign progressed.

description: Background Internet-based interventions produce comparable effectiveness rates as face-to-face therapy in treating depression. Still, more than half of patients do not respond to treatment. Machine learning (ML) methods could help to overcome these low response rates by predicting therapy outcomes on an individual level and tailoring treatment accordingly. Few studies implemented ML algorithms in internet-based depression treatment using baseline self-report data, but differing results hinder inferences on clinical practicability. This work compares algorithms using features gathered at baseline or early in treatment in their capability to predict non-response to a 6-week online program targeting depression. Methods Our training and test sample encompassed 1270 and 318 individuals, respectively. We trained random forest algorithms on self-report and process features gathered at baseline and after 2 weeks of treatment. Non-responders were defined as participants not fulfilling the criteria for reliable and clinically significant change on PHQ-9 post-treatment. Our benchmark models were logistic regressions trained on baseline PHQ-9 sum or PHQ-9 early change, using 100 iterations of randomly sampled 80/20 train-test-splits. Results Best performances were reached by our models involving early treatment characteristics (recall: 0.75–0.76; AUC: 0.71–0.77). Therapeutic alliance and early symptom change constituted the most important predictors. Models trained on baseline data were not significantly better than our benchmark. Conclusions Fair accuracies were only attainable by involving information from early treatment stages. In-treatment adaptation, instead of a priori selection, might constitute a more feasible approach for improving response when relying on easily accessible self-report features. Implementation trials are needed to determine clinical usefulness.

description: Purpose: To compare cardiometabolic responses to five consecutive days of daily postprandial exercise accumulated in three 10-min bouts or a single 30-min bout to a no-exercise control. Methods: Ten insufficiently active adults completed three trials in a randomised order. Each trial comprised five consecutive days of 30 min of exercise either accumulated in three separate 10-min bouts (ACC) after main meals; a single 30-min bout after dinner (CONT); or a no-exercise control (NOEX). Glucose regulation was assessed from an oral glucose tolerance test. Applanation tonometry was used to assess pulse wave velocity approximately 12 h following completion of the final trial. Results: Area under the 2-h glucose curve was similar for CONT (mean; 95% CI 917 mmol L−1 2 h−1; 815 to 1019) and ACC (931 mmol L−1 2 h−1; 794 to 1068, p = 0.671). Area under the 2-h insulin curve was greater following NOEX (70,328 pmol L−1 2 h−1; 30,962 to 109,693) than ACC (51,313 pmol L−1 2 h−1: 21,822 to 80,806, p = 0.007). Pulse wave velocity was lower for ACC (5.96 m s−1: 5.38 to 6.53) compared to CONT (6.93 m s−1: 5.92 to 7.94, p = 0.031) but not significantly lower for ACC compared to NOEX (6.52 m s−1: 5.70 to 7.34, p = 0.151). Conclusion: Accumulating 30 min of moderate-intensity walking in three bouts throughout the day is more effective at reducing markers of cardiometabolic health risk in insufficiently active, apparently healthy adults than a single daily bout. Both accumulated and single-bout walking were equally as effective at reducing postprandial glucose concentrations compared to a no-exercise control. Therefore, accumulating exercise in short bouts after each main meal might be more advantageous for overall cardiometabolic health.
Probing an intrinsically flavorful ALP via tau-lepton flavor physics

description: Any axionlike particle (ALP) intrinsically possesses flavorful couplings to the standard model (SM) fermions arising as a consequence of the right-handed flavor rotation within the SM. In this paper we discuss this intrinsically flavored ALP, and explore the correlation of a minimal set of the couplings in a view of coherence in flavor physics observables. We focus particularly on the tau-lepton flavor violation (LFV). The ALP is assumed to be tau-philic on a current-eigenstate basis, a la Pecci-Quinn. The ALP has the intrinsic flavorful coupling structure for fermions, which allows coupling also to muon and electron only in a right-handed specific manner. Several LFV processes are generated including radiative tau decays and also anomalous magnetic moments of electron and muon. We first pay attention to two separated limits: electron scenario with the ALP coupled to tau which mixes only with right-handed electron, and muon scenario as the muonic counterpart of the electron scenario. It turns out that those scenarios are highly constrained by experimental limits, to require a mu or electron - tau flipped feature in the mass eigenbasis when coupled to the ALP. We then examine a hybrid scenario, and find a fully viable parameter space on the ALP mass-photon coupling plane, which limits the ALP mass to be (1.7 - 10) GeV and the ALP decay constant $f_a$ to be (12.8 - 67.9) GeV. We find that the same-sign multilepton signal at Belle II is a smoking-gun to probe the present ALP signal, and the polarization asymmetry in LFV radiative $τ$ decay is a punchline, which definitely predicts preference of the right-handed polarization, in sharp contrast to the SM plus massive Dirac neutrinos having the highly left-handed preference, and also other light-new physics candidates. Possible model-building to underlie the present third-generation specific ALP is also briefly addressed.

description: La presente investigación desarrolla el problema del impacto en la seguridad jurídica de la doctrina jurisprudencial vinculante sobre impugnación de medidas disciplinarias por ejecutar huelga improcedente, en un contexto de divergencia de criterios entre la Segunda y Cuarta Sala de Derecho Constitucional y Social de la Corte Suprema, en casos provenientes de Arequipa, durante el periodo 2019-2023. El propósito de la doctrina jurisprudencial vinculante de producir predictibilidad, uniformidad e igualdad se ve afectado cuando su aplicación resulta contraproducente, ya sea debido a la aplicación de los operadores o por deficiencias en la formulación normativa derivadas de su evolución en el tiempo. Este trabajo de investigación es cualitativo; sin embargo, se complementará con datos obtenidos a partir de la observación documental de jurisprudencia y doctrina, fortaleciendo así los aspectos teóricos. Los principales hallazgos revelan la existencia de una divergencia de criterios entre ambas salas supremas, donde la segunda mantiene una posición más consistente y la cuarta presenta variaciones y alejamiento de la legalidad. Se ha demostrado que pese a la existencia de una doctrina jurisprudencial vinculante sobre la impugnación de medida disciplinaria por ejecutar huelga improcedente, la divergencia de criterios está impactando negativamente a la seguridad jurídica, toda vez que ha disminuido la predictibilidad a nivel conceptual, simbolizando esto una afectación al sistema judicial y a la ciudadanía (empresas y trabajadores), quedando la noción de que el azar de a dónde llegará el proceso es lo que determina si será válida o no la sanción. Como recomendación, se sugiere la posible modificación de términos en la ley que contempla esta figura jurídica, añadir a la ley que resulta sancionable ejecutar huelga improcedente y llamar a la atención a los magistrados supremos por provocar eventos de esta naturaleza.

description: Risk communication in disasters aims to prepare people to prevent and mitigate disaster impact. The present study explores the influence of risk communications strategies by the Local Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (LDRRMO) on the level of disaster preparedness of the coastal communities of the Local Government Unit in Gitagum, Misamis Oriental. The study employed a quantitative design and a descriptive method of research using survey questionnaires. The respondents were the three hundred eighty-six (386) randomly selected individuals living in the coastal areas and residents living along flood prone roads. Based on the findings, the risk communication strategies used by the LDRRMO of the Municipality of Gitagum, particularly on the timing and frequency of communications and the level of trust in institutions, have a significant impact on the participants’ disaster preparedness. However, the community's trust in the local government's provision of risk information needs to be enhanced. The individual’s attitude and awareness on preparedness are rated as satisfactory, suggesting further for an improved level of knowledge on weather conditions. Therefore, the risk communication strategies, specifically on timing and frequency and trust in institutions, by the LDRRMO can influence the disaster preparedness of a community. The study points to the need of assisting local government units in disaster preparedness on effective dissemination of PAGASA weather advisories.

description: © 2020 The Author(s). Published by Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group. Intervening in heavy drinking cultures within groups below the level of the population has been under-utilized as a means of reducing alcohol-associated harms. We argue that the concept of ‘social worlds’ is useful for the identification and investigation of heavy drinking cultures in collectivities at this level. The concept may also support investigations into other practices with health implications, such as other substance use or gambling. Social worlds are understood to be loosely bounded groups that change over time and any individual may be affiliated with many. Membership of a social world entails shared commitments, practices and norms generated and reiterated through interaction with other members, albeit not necessarily with all members participating together or at once. Social worlds of heavy alcohol consumption are also framed by the settings where people drink, products consumed and technologies used in doing so. As a tool to support public health efforts, we suggest that these social worlds should entail collective drinking, include sufficient members and involve a magnitude of harm to warrant public health investment and be accessible for research and intervention. Researchers can usefully consider how wider forces, including discourses about alcohol and the gendering of drinking practices, are enacted within particular social worlds. Although they may be explored through empirical research, social worlds of heavy drinking are analytic devices rather than perfect reflections of an objective reality. To see them as such allows us to define them strategically, looking for opportunities to modify cultures associated with harms.

description: We study two-component atomic gas mixtures in one dimension involving both bosons and fermions. When the inter-species interaction is attractive, we report a rich variety of coherent ground-state phases that vary with the intrinsic and relative strength of the interactions. We avoid any artifacts of lattice discretization by developing a novel implementation of a continuous matrix product state ansatz for mixtures and priorly demonstrate the validity of our approach on the integrable point that exists for mixtures with equal masses and interactions (Lai-Yang model) where we find that the ansatz correctly and systematically converges towards the exact results.

description: © 2020 To improve biodegradation strategies for chlorinated pollutants, the roles of soil organic matter and microbial function need to be clarified. It was hypothesised that microbial degradation of specific organic fractions in soils enhance community metabolic capability to degrade chlorinated pollutants. This field study used historic records of dieldrin concentrations since 1988 and established relationships between dieldrin dissipation and soil carbon fractions together with bacterial and fungal diversity in surface soils of Kurosol and Chromosol. Sparse partial least squares analysis linked dieldrin dissipation to metabolic activities associated with the highly decomposed carbon fraction. Dieldrin dissipation, after three decades of natural attenuation, was associated with increased bacterial species fitness for the decomposition of recalcitrant carbon substrates including synthetic chlorinated pollutants. These metabolic capabilities were linked to the decomposed carbon fraction, an important driver for the microbial community and function. Common bacterial traits among taxonomic groups enriched in samples with high dieldrin dissipation included their slow growth, large genome and complex metabolism which supported the notion that metabolic strategies for dieldrin degradation evolved in an energy-low soil environment. The findings provide new perspectives for bioremediation strategies and suggest that soil management should aim at stimulating metabolism at the decomposed, fine carbon fraction.

description: High-power multi-beam klystrons represent a key component to amplify RF to generate the accelerating field of the superconducting radio frequency (SRF) cavities at European XFEL. Exchanging these high-power components takes time and effort, thus it is necessary to minimize maintenance and downtime and at the same time maximize the device's operation. In an attempt to explore the behavior of klystrons using machine learning, we completed a series of experiments on our klystrons to determine various operational modes and conduct feature extraction and dimensionality reduction to extract the most valuable information about a normal operation. To analyze recorded data we used state-of-the-art data-driven learning techniques and recognized the most promising components that might help us better understand klystron operational states and identify early on possible faults or anomalies.

description: Fusion crusts form during the atmospheric entry heating of meteorites and preserve a record of the conditions that occurred during deceleration in the atmosphere. The fusion crust of the Winchcombe meteorite closely resembles that of other stony meteorites, and in particular CM2 chondrites, since it is dominated by olivine phenocrysts set in a glassy mesostasis with magnetite, and is highly vesicular. Dehydration cracks are unusually abundant in Winchcombe. Failure of this weak layer is an additional ablation mechanism to produce large numbers of particles during deceleration, consistent with the observation of pulses of plasma in videos of the Winchcombe fireball. Calving events might provide an observable phenomenon related to meteorites that are particularly susceptible to dehydration. Oscillatory zoning is observed within olivine phenocrysts in the fusion crust, in contrast to other meteorites, perhaps owing to temperature fluctuations resulting from calving events. Magnetite monolayers are found in the crust, and have also not been previously reported, and form discontinuous strata. These features grade into magnetite rims formed on the external surface of the crust and suggest the trapping of surface magnetite by collapse of melt. Magnetite monolayers may be a feature of meteorites that undergo significant degassing. Silicate warts with dendritic textures were observed and are suggested to be droplets ablated from another stone in the shower. They, therefore, represent the first evidence for intershower transfer of ablation materials and are consistent with the other evidence in the Winchcombe meteorite for unusually intense gas loss and ablation, despite its low entry velocity.

description: The random greedy algorithm for finding a maximal independent set in a graph constructs a maximal independent set by inspecting the graph's vertices in a random order, adding the current vertex to the independent set if it is not adjacent to any previously added vertex. In this paper, we present a general framework for computing the asymptotic density of the random greedy independent set for sequences of (possibly random) graphs by employing a notion of local convergence. We use this framework to give straightforward proofs for results on previously studied families of graphs, like paths and binomial random graphs, and to study new ones, like random trees and sparse random planar graphs. We conclude by analysing the random greedy algorithm more closely when the base graph is a tree.

description: The reactivity of difluoro Au(III) cations supported by pyridine or imidazole ligands is reported. The Au(III)−F bond is found to be susceptible to metathesis by TMS reagents and reagents bearing acidic protons such as H−CC−Ph and HOAc. In the last case the reactions are slower than analogous reactions reported by other groups, where strong trans donors are present opposite the Au−F bond. This, coupled with the inability to effect metathesis on only one Au−F bond in our system, indicates that the trans effect is a key consideration in Au−F chemistry.

description: Background Overriding spinous processes, also known as ‘kissing spines’, are one of the most common causes of back pain in horses. The aim of this study was to investigate which options for diagnosis and treatment are preferred by equine orthopaedic specialists and assess which techniques are used for local injection. Methods An online survey was distributed among members of the European/American College of Veterinary Surgeons, the European/American College of Veterinary Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation, the International Society of Equine Locomotor Pathology and nationally recognised advanced equine orthopaedic practitioners. Results The survey was completed by 353 respondents. The injection techniques most commonly used involve placing two needles abaxial to the interspinous space (42%) under ultrasonographic guidance (32%) or one needle in the midline (35%) between two spinous processes. The most popular combination for overriding dorsal spinous process therapy was local injection (26.7%) combined with controlled exercise (25.5%). Manual therapy was considered by 42% of European and 25% of American specialists (p = 0.01). Surgical intervention as a first-line treatment was recommended mainly by specialists working in the United States, the UK or Ireland (p = 0.001). Overall, most equine orthopaedic veterinarians (71%; n = 201) preferred conservative management and recommended surgery only for horses that did not respond to conservative therapy. Limitations Respondents’ personal bias may have skewed the findings. Conclusions Despite a growing body of evidence, the therapeutic approach to ‘kissing spines’ in horses is influenced by professional specialisation and regional preferences. Variations in injection techniques and differing criteria for surgical intervention warrant further investigation.

description: For the transition to renewable energy sources, novel energy storage materials are more important than ever. This review addresses so-called molecular solar thermal (MOST) systems, which appear very promising since they combine light harvesting and energy storing in one-photon one-molecule processes. The focus is on norbornadiene (NBD), a particularly interesting candidate, which is converted to the strained valence isomer quadricyclane (QC) upon irradiation. The stored energy can be released on demand. The energy-releasing cycloreversion from QC to NBD can be initiated by a thermal, catalytic, or electrochemical trigger. The reversibility of the energy storage and release cycles determines the general practicality of a MOST system. In the search for derivatives, which enable large-scale applications, fundamental surface science studies help to assess the feasibility of potential substituted NBD/QC couples. We focus on investigations under well-defined ultra-high vacuum (UHV) conditions as well as experiments in liquid phase. Next to mechanistic insights into the isomerization between the two valence isomers, information on adsorption geometries, thermal stability limits, and reaction pathways of the respective molecules are discussed. Moreover, laboratory-scaled test devices demonstrated the proof of concept in various areas of application.

description: © The Author(s) 2020. The innate immune system in mammals include pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), which initiate immune responses to microbial infection via several mechanisms. These PRRs include cell surface Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and cytosolic Nod-like receptors (NLRs) that recognizes extracellular and intracellular danger signals respectively. NLRs are poised to respond specifically to pathogens that access the host cell cytosol. The molecular mechanisms by which NLRs are activated to form inflammasomes and exert downstream inflammatory responses remain poorly understood. Additionally, very little is known about the regulation of cytosolic pathogen sensory NLR family members, except for NLRP3. Recently a deubiquitinase known as STAMBP has been implicated as a regulator of NLRP7 inflammasome assembly. We have investigated the role of STAMBP in regulation of other inflammasome components and its broader role in inflammation using genetic removal of STAMBP protein from cells using CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing and challenging these gene edited cells with an inflammatory stimuli. Our study demonstrated that STAMBP has a critical role in inflammation both in the context of NLR pathway, through NLRP stabilization and TLR pathway, through JNK signaling and downstream cytokine production. The findings indicate that STAMBP has a wider role in inflammation than previously thought to be the case.

description: Considering the paradigmatic case of a cloud of two-level atoms interacting through common vacuum modes, we show how cooperative spontaneous emission, which is at the origin of superradiance, leads the system to long-lived entangled states at late times. These subradiant modes are characterized by an entanglement between all particles, independently of their geometrical configuration. While there is no threshold on the interaction strength necessary to entangle all particles, stronger interactions lead to longer-lived entanglement.

description: We report electrochemical metallization (ECM) resistive switching in polycrystalline YMnO3 memristive devices using Al as an active electrode. Al/YMnO3/Pt devices exhibit bipolar resistive switching with a high ROFF/RON ratio of 104, low operational voltages of VSet ≈ 1.7 V and VReset ≈ −0.36 V and good retention properties. The resistive switching is intimately linked to the coexistence of the orthorhombic and hexagonal YMnO3 phases. The characterization of these two nanocrystalline phases is realized not only by X-ray diffraction – which is shown to be unable to reveal the presence of the orthorhombic phase – but also by a set of correlative microscopy and spectroscopy methods (scanning electron microscopy, optical microscopy, Raman spectroscopy and conductive atomic force microscopy). The origin of resistive switching is ascribed to an Al filament-based electrochemical metallization mechanism that likely occurs along an oxygen-deficient grain boundary between the hexagonal and orthorhombic nanocrystalline YMnO3 phases. The unique microstructure provided by the mixed polycrystalline phase films allows to use Al as an active electrode in YMnO3-based ECM cells, and gives perspective for further miniaturization of the devices.

description: A strain of Podosphaera clandestina has been highlighted as a priority pest threat to the Australian cherry industry. Australia currently has no records of powdery mildew on cherry (Prunus avium). P. clandestina is reported to cause disease on a range of Rosaceae genera including Crataegus and Prunus; in Australia, P. clandestina has only been recorded on Crataegus. A recent species revision identified Podosphaera cerasi on P. avium as a separate species from P. clandestina. Therefore, a revision of which powdery mildew species is present in Australia on Crataegus is required to inform Australian plant biosecurity. Reference collection specimens from the Victorian Plant Pathology Herbarium (VPRI) recorded as Podosphaera spp. collected between 1889 to 2008 on cherry and three other host plant genera from Australia and overseas were sampled for DNA extraction and next-generation sequencing (NGS). Sequence data from preserved specimens were successfully mapped to internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences of P. clandestina in the strict sense, P. cerasi, and Podosphaera prunicola, and chloroplast matK sequences were used to identify plant hosts. Australian specimens on Crataegus hosts were P. clandestina in the strict sense and specimens on Prunus from the USA were identified as P. cerasi and P. prunicola. The outcome of this study confirmed the powdery mildew on Australian Crataegus specimens to be P. clandestina and none of the cherry powdery mildews (Podosphaera pruni-avium, P. cerasi, or P. prunicola) are present on Australian specimens in the VPRI collection, which suggests they are not present in Australia.

description: Social simulation models from computational social science are beginning to provide significant advances in terms of implementing more complex social, human, and natural dynamics that are characteristic of how countries operate in the real world. In particular, increasingly realistic agent-based models can improve capacity for early warning, understanding, and prediction. The MASON RebeLand model presents three innovations over earlier models: (i) an explicit polity model with politically complete structure and processes; (ii) social and natural model components within an integrated socio-natural system; and (iii) generative dynamics where insurgency and the state of the polity (stable, unstable, failing, failed, and recovering) occur as emergent phenomena under a range of social and environmental conditions. Three scenarios are demonstrated, showing stable, unstable, and failing polity conditions. The MASON computational system for agent-based and network modeling also permits additional experiments and extensions.
An Assessment of the Eye Tracking Signal Quality Captured in the HoloLens 2

description: We present an analysis of the eye tracking signal quality of the HoloLens 2s integrated eye tracker. Signal quality was measured from eye movement data captured during a random saccades task from a new eye movement dataset collected on 30 healthy adults. We characterize the eye tracking signal quality of the device in terms of spatial accuracy, spatial precision, temporal precision, linearity, and crosstalk. Most notably, our evaluation of spatial accuracy reveals that the eye movement data in our dataset appears to be uncalibrated. Recalibrating the data using a subset of our dataset task produces notably better eye tracking signal quality.
