description: We report on a remarkable change in the spectral energy distribution (SED) of Mrk 841, providing new insights on how the soft X-ray excess emission in active galactic nuclei (AGNs) is produced. By Swift monitoring of a sample of Seyfert-1 galaxies, we found an X-ray spectral hardening event in Mrk 841. We thereby triggered our XMM-Newton, NuSTAR, and HST observations in 2022 to study this event. Our previous investigations of such events in other AGNs had shown that they are caused by obscuring winds. However, the event in Mrk 841 has different spectral characteristics and origin. We find it is the soft X-ray excess component that has become dimmer. This is, importantly, accompanied by a similar decline in the optical/UV continuum, suggesting a connection to the soft X-ray excess. In contrast, there is relatively little change in the X-ray power-law and the reflection components. Our SED modeling suggests that the soft X-ray excess is the high-energy extension of the optical/UV disk emission, produced by warm Comptonization. We find the temperature of the disk dropped in 2022, explaining the observed SED dimming. We then examined the Swift data, taken over 15 years, to further decipher the UV and X-ray variabilities of Mrk 841. A significant relation between the variabilities of the X-ray spectral hardness and that of the UV continuum is found, again suggesting that the soft excess and the disk emission are interlinked. This is readily explicable if the soft excess is produced by warm Comptonization.

description: Purpose: Neuroimaging studies (e.g., Taylor et al., 2013), error analyses (Treiman et al., 1995) and computational models (e.g., Coltheart et al., 2001; Pritchard et al., 2018) suggest that inhibitory control might be important for irregular word reading and learning. However, this remains untested. We investigate whether inhibitory control predicts concurrent irregular word reading and growth in irregular word reading in children, controlling for decoding and vocabulary. Method: Secondary data analyses will be performed on data from the Surrey Communication and Language in Education Study (http://www.lilac-lab.org/scales/). 529 children completed irregular word reading (40 items, Castles and Coltheart reading test 2; CC2), inhibitory control (Go/No-Go task), decoding (40 nonwords, CC2) and vocabulary (Receptive and Expressive One word Picture Vocabulary Test) tasks at ages 5-6, 7-8, and 10-11. Results: Correlation analyses will test whether inhibitory control relates to irregular word reading. Regression analyses will assess whether inhibitory control predicts concurrent irregular word reading after controlling for decoding and vocabulary. Finally, latent change score modeling will determine whether inhibitory control predicts growth in irregular word reading, controlling for vocabulary and decoding. Conclusions: This study will reveal whether inhibitory control is one of the cognitive mechanisms underlying irregular word reading and learning. Findings will inform theoretical models of reading and have implications for teaching irregular words.
Characteristic length for pinning force density in $Nb{_3}Sn$

description: The pinning force density $F{_p}(J{_c},B)=J{_c} \times B$ (where $J_c$ is the critical current density and $B$ is the magnetic field) is one of the main parameters that characterize the resilience of a superconductor to carry a dissipative-free transport current in an applied magnetic field. Kramer (1973 J.Appl.Phys. 44 1360), and Dew-Hughes (1974 Phil.Mag. 30 293) proposed a widely used scaling law for the pinning force density amplitude: $F{_p}(B)=F{_{p,max}}((p+q){^{(p+q)}}/({p^p}{q^q}))(B/B_{c2}){^p}(1-B/B{_{c2}})^q$, where $F{_{p,max}}$, $B{_{c2}}$, $p$, and $q$ are free-fitting parameters. Since the late 1970-s till now, several research groups have reported experimental data on the dependence of $F_{p,max}$ on the average grain size, $d$, in $Nb{_3}Sn$-based conductors. Godeke (2006 Superc.Sci.Techn. 19 R68) proposed that the dependence obeys the law $|F{_{p,max}}(d)|=A \times ln(1/d)+B $. However, this scaling law has several problems, for instance, the logarithm is taken from a non-dimensionless variable, and $|F{_{p,max}}(d)|< 0 $ for large grain sizes and $|F{_{p,max}}(d)|\rightarrow \infty $ for $d \rightarrow 0$. Here we reanalysed the full inventory of publicly available $|F{_{p,max}}(d)|$ data for $Nb{_3}Sn$ conductors and found that the dependence can be described by $F_{p,max}(d)= F_{p,max}(0)exp(-d/δ)$ law, where the characteristic length, $δ$, varies within a remarkably narrow range, that is, $δ=(175 \pm 13) nm$, for samples fabricated by different technologies. The interpretation of the result is based on the idea that the in-field supercurrent flows within a thin surface layer (thickness of $δ$) near the grain boundary surfaces. An alternative interpretation is that $δ$ represents characteristic length of the exponential decay flux pinning potential from the dominant defects in $Nb{_3}Sn$ superconductors, which are grain boundaries.

Gas accretion from halos to disks: observations, curiosities, and problems

description: Accretion of gas from the cosmic web to galaxy halos and ultimately their disks is a prediction of modern cosmological models but is rarely observed directly or at the full rate expected from star formation. Here we illustrate possible large-scale cosmic HI accretion onto the nearby dwarf starburst galaxy IC10, observed with the VLA and GBT. We also suggest that cosmic accretion is the origin of sharp metallicity drops in the starburst regions of other dwarf galaxies, as observed with the 10-m GTC. Finally, we question the importance of cosmic accretion in normal dwarf irregulars, for which a recent study of their far-outer regions sees no need for, or evidence of, continuing gas buildup.

Surface deformations and wave generation by wind blowing over a viscous liquid

Subjects: subject: Fluid Dynamics (physics.flu-dyn)

description: We investigate experimentally the early stage of the generation of waves by a turbulent wind at the surface of a viscous liquid. The spatio-temporal structure of the surface deformation is analyzed by the optical method Free Surface Synthetic Schlieren, which allows for time-resolved measurements with a micrometric accuracy. Because of the high viscosity of the liquid, the flow induced by the turbulent wind in the liquid remains laminar, with weak surface drift velocity. Two regimes of deformation of the liquid-air interface are identified. In the first regime, at low wind speed, the surface is dominated by rapidly propagating disorganized wrinkles, elongated in the streamwise direction, which can be interpreted as the surface response to the pressure fluctuations advected by the turbulent airflow. The amplitude of these deformations increases approximately linearly with wind velocity and are essentially independent of the fetch (distance along the channel). Above a threshold in wind speed, the perturbations organize themselves spatially into quasi parallel waves perpendicular to the wind direction with their amplitude increasing downstream. In this second regime, the wave amplitude increases with wind speed but far more quickly than in the first regime.

description: Pulsars are known to display short-term variability. Recently, examples of longer-term emission variability have emerged that are often correlated with changes in the rotational properties of the pulsar. To further illuminate this relationship, we have developed techniques to identify emission and rotation variability in pulsar data, and determine correlations between the two. Individual observations may be too noisy to identify subtle changes in the pulse profile. We use Gaussian process (GP) regression to model noisy observations and produce a continuous map of pulse profile variability. Generally, multiple observing epochs are required to obtain the pulsar spin frequency derivative ($\dotν$). GP regression is, therefore, also used to obtain $\dotν$, under the hypothesis that pulsar timing noise is primarily caused by unmodelled changes in $\dotν$. Our techniques distinguish between two types of variability: changes in the total flux density versus changes in the pulse shape. We have applied these techniques to 168 pulsars observed by the Parkes radio telescope, and see that although variations in flux density are ubiquitous, substantial changes in the shape of the pulse profile are rare. We reproduce previously published results and present examples of profile shape changing in seven pulsars; in particular, a clear new example of correlated changes in profile shape and rotation is found in PSR~J1602$-$5100. In the shape changing pulsars, a more complex picture than the previously proposed two state model emerges. We conclude that our simple assumption that all timing noise can be interpreted as $\dotν$ variability is insufficient to explain our dataset.

Premature Mortalities Attributable to Ozone and Fine Particulate Exposure: The Effect of Grid Size on Health Burden Estimates in the United States
Creators: name: Blayney, Elizabeth M.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2012

description: We quantify how estimates of mortality in the United States attributable to ozone (O3) and fine particulate matter (PM2.5) driven with modeled concentrations at coarse resolution differ from those at finer resolution. Modeled concentrations of O3 and PM2.5 were used to estimate mortalities at 12 km and coarser resolutions greater than that of global models. We estimate that 66,000 (95% CI, 44,700 - 86,500) and 21,400 (5,600 - 34,200) mortalities per year are attributable to PM2.5 and O3 concentrations above low-concentration thresholds, respectively. Coarse grid resolutions produce mortality estimates that are substantially biased low for PM2.5 (38% lower than the best estimate at >300 km resolution), but only 5% higher for O3 (at >96 km resolution). Mortality estimates for primary PM2.5 species were more affected by grid resolution than for secondary species. These results suggest that using coarse resolution global models (>100 km) are likely biased low for PM2.5, but with little error for ozone.

description: To examine evidence-based interventions for nurses to use when supporting cancer survivors self-manage their symptoms. Part I: A systematic review to determine the effect of shared medical appointments (SMAs) on patients with a physical chronic illness (excluding diabetes mellitus), their healthcare providers and the healthcare system. Nine randomized controlled trials were included; one focused on breast cancer survivors. This trial was feasible and showed no difference in outcomes compared to usual care. Part II: A descriptive study to adapt and evaluate the acceptability of an evidence-informed symptom practice guide (SPG) for use by nurses for the assessment, triage, and management of patients experiencing dyspnea due to cancer treatment-related cardiotoxicity. Guided by the CAN-IMPLEMENT© methodology, evidence from seven guidelines on heart failure was added to the original SPG. Eleven participants indicated the adapted SPG was comprehensive and easy to follow, and would be helpful for handling symptom calls from patients.

description: Various pulsar timing array (PTA) experiments (NANOGrav, EPTA, PPTA, CPTA, including data from InPTA) very recently reported evidence for excess red common-spectrum signals in their latest datasets, with inter-pulsar correlations following the Hellings-Downs pattern, pointing to a stochastic gravitational wave background (SGWB) origin. Focusing for concreteness on the NANOGrav signal (given that all signals are in good agreement between each other), I inspect whether it supports an inflationary SGWB explanation, finding that such an interpretation calls for an extremely blue tensor spectrum, with spectral index $n_T \simeq 1.8 \pm 0.3$, while Big Bang Nucleosynthesis limits require a very low reheating scale, $T_{\rm rh} \lesssim 10\,{\rm GeV}$. While not impossible, an inflationary origin for the PTA signal is barely tenable: within well-motivated inflationary models it is hard to achieve such a blue tilt, whereas models who do tend to predict sizeable non-Gaussianities, excluded by observations. Intriguingly, ekpyrotic models naturally predict a SGWB with spectral index $n_T=2$, although with an amplitude too suppressed to be able to explain the signal detected by PTA experiments. Finally, I provide explicit expressions for a bivariate Gaussian approximation to the joint posterior distribution for the intrinsic-noise amplitude and spectral index of the NANOGrav signal, which can facilitate extending similar analyses to different theoretical signals.

description: CBASP is a psychological treatment for persistent depression which has a solid evidence base. Little is known about the mechanism of change during treatment and it is hypothesised that becoming competent at the CBASP skills improves interpersonal functioning which reduces distress and depression symptoms. To test out this hypothesis clinical outcome data from 13 groups of CBASP (CBASP-G) were analysed using multi-level modelling statistical methods. Outcome data from 80 participants who attended CBASP-G for persistent depression between 2011 and 2021 in an outpatient primary care setting was analysed using multilevel modelling. Measures of skill acquisition and weekly change in reported Mood and CORE-10 score were used. Paired t-tests were run to look at overall change in outcome data for BDI-II, CORE-10, Mood, IIP-32, PGI, CGI-I and CGI-S.

This problem has been answered affirmatively in several varieties of loops. The solution usually involves sophisticated techniques of automated deduction, and the resulting derivations are very long, often with no higher-level human proofs available.

description: It may be unsurprising that the most common approach to finding proto-clusters is to search for over-densities of galaxies. Upgrades to submillimetre (submm) interferometers and the advent of the James Webb Space Telescope will soon offer the opportunity to find more distant candidate proto-clusters in deep sky surveys without any spectroscopic confirmation. In this letter, we report the serendipitous discovery of an extremely dense region centred on the blazar, J0217-0820, at z=0.6 in the ALMACAL sky survey. Its density is eight times higher than that predicted by blind submm surveys. Among the seven submm-bright galaxies, three are as bright as conventional single-dish submm galaxies, with S_870um > 3mJy. The over-density is thus comparable to the densest known and confirmed proto-cluster cores. However, their spectra betray a wide range of redshifts. We investigate the likelihood of line-of-sight projection effects using light cones from cosmological simulations, finding that the deeper we search, the higher the chance that we will suffer from such projection effects. The extreme over-density around J0217-0820 demonstrates the strong cosmic variance we may encounter in the deep submm surveys. Thus, we should also question the fidelity of galaxy proto-cluster candidates selected via over-densities of galaxies, where the negative K correction eases the detection of dusty galaxies along an extraordinarily extended line of sight.

Evidence for the $H \to b\bar{b}$ decay with the ATLAS detector
Creators: name: ATLAS Collaboration
Publisher: name: Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron, DESY, Hamburg
Year: 2017

description: A search for the decay of the Standard Model Higgs boson into a $b\bar{b}$ pair when produced in association with a $W$ or $Z$ boson is performed with the ATLAS detector. The analysed data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36.1 fb$^{-1}$, were collected in proton-proton collisions in Run 2 of the Large Hadron Collider at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. Final states containing zero, one and two charged leptons (electrons or muons) are considered, targeting the decays $Z\to\nu\nu$, $W\to\ell\nu$ and $Z\to\ell\ell$. For a Higgs boson mass of 125 GeV, an excess of events over the expected background from other Standard Model processes is found with an observed significance of 3.5 standard deviations, compared to an expectation of 3.0 standard deviations. This excess provides evidence for the Higgs boson decay into $b$-quarks and for its production in association with a vector boson. The combination of this result with that of the Run 1 analysis yields a ratio of the measured signal events to the Standard Model expectation equal to $0.90 \pm 0.18 \rm{(stat.)} ^{+0.21}_{-0.19} \rm{(syst.)}$. Assuming the Standard Model production cross-section, the results are consistent with the value of the Yukawa coupling to $b$-quarks in the Standard Model.

subject: 20N05

description: These notes accompany a series of three lectures on automorphic loops to be delivered by the author at Workshops Loops '15 (Ohrid, Macedonia, 2015). Automorphic loops are loops in which all inner mappings are automorphisms. The first paper on automorphic loops appeared in 1956 and there has been a surge of interest in the topic since 2010. The purpose of these notes is to introduce the methods used in the study of automorphic loops to a wider audience of researchers working in nonassociative mathematics. In the first lecture we establish basic properties of automorphic loops (flexibility, power-associativity and the antiautomorphic inverse property) and discuss relations of automorphic loops to Moufang loops. In the second lecture we expand on ideas of Glauberman and investigate the associated operation $(x^{-1}\backslash (y^2x))^{1/2}$ and similar concepts, using a more modern approach of twisted subgroups. We establish many structural results for commutative and general automorphic loops, including the Odd Order Theorem. In the last lecture we look at enumeration and constructions of automorphic loops. We show that there are no nonassociative simple automorphic loops of order less than $4096$, we study commutative automorphic loops of order $pq$ and $p^3$, and introduce two general constructions of automorphic loops. The material is newly organized and sometimes new, shorter proofs are given.

description: To evaluate the long-term effects of a multilevel community intervention to improve the quality of prescription practice of potentially addictive medications (PAMs). We conducted a retrospective study, using anonymized data from the Norwegian prescription registry. Based on an initiative from the GPs in Molde Municipality in Norway, a multilevel community intervention was initiated by the municipal chief physician in 2018. The intervention targeted GPs, patients, and the public. We retrieved prescription data from 26 of 36 GPs. By using the standardized defined daily dose (DDD), we compared prescription of three groups of PAMs from before the intervention (2017) throughout the intervention in 2018, and through 2020 to determine long-term effects. Three years after the intervention, the GPs in our study sample prescribed 26% less opioids, 38% less benzodiazepines, and 16% less z-hypnotics. Overall prescription of PAMs decreased by 27%. The number of individuals receiving at least 90 DDD of benzodiazepines and z-hypnotics were reduced from 9 to 7 and 34 to 24 per 1000, respectively. Also, the number of individuals receiving two and three PAMs concomitantly were reduced. Addressing prescription practice among GPs in a community as a joint intervention, combined with addressing patients and the public may be a feasible method to obtain long-term reduction of PAM prescriptions.Key pointsNon-therapeutic prescriptions of potentially addictive medications (PAMs) are both a public health concern and a frequent challenge in general practice.A multilevel community intervention, targeting general practitioners, patients, and the public, led to 27% reduction in prescription of PAMs.Both the number of daily users and concomitant use of several PAMs were reduced.The reduction in prescription persisted for three years.

Knowledge, opinions and practice behaviors of North Carolina endocrinologists’ and internists’ regarding periodontal disease and diabetes
Creators: name: Owens, Jonathan Blaine
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2010

description: This study was to determine the knowledge and practice behaviors of endocrinologists and internists who treat patients with diabetes. A 35-item questionnaire was mailed to 115 endocrinologists/1,000 internists in NC. Questions were open and closed ended and Likert-scaled. Descriptive statistics and bivariate analysis were utilized. The response rate was 34% (N=378). Endocrinologists' and internists' knowledge about PD was high. The majority agree that physicians should be taught about PD (88%) and should be trained to screen for PD (78%). Eighty-nine percent agreed that physicians need to collaborate with dental professionals. NC endocrinologists and internists have some knowledge and think there is a link between PD and DM. The majority do not know the studies that link PD and DM. They agree collaboration with dental professionals is important. Interprofessional education and collaboration between medical and dental professionals is needed to prepare for the future increase in patient and treatment needs.

Evaluation of the Benefits of Zero Velocity Update in Decentralized EKF-Based Cooperative Localization Algorithms for GNSS-Denied Multi-Robot Systems

description: This paper proposes the cooperative use of zero velocity update (ZU) in a decentralized extended Kalman filter (DEKF) based localization algorithm for multi-robot systems. The filter utilizes inertial measurement unit (IMU), ultra-wideband (UWB), and odometry velocity measurements to improve the localization performance of the system in the presence of a GNSS-denied environment. The contribution of this work is to evaluate the benefits of using ZU in a DEKF-based localization algorithm. The algorithm is tested with real hardware in a video motion capture facility and a Robot Operating System (ROS) based simulation environment for unmanned ground vehicles (UGV). Both simulation and real-world experiments are performed to show the effectiveness of using ZU in one robot to reinstate the localization of other robots in a multi-robot system. Experimental results from GNSS-denied simulation and real-world environments show that using ZU with simple heuristics in the DEKF significantly improves the 3D localization accuracy.

description: We present a Hubble diagram of type II supernovae using corrected magnitudes derived only from photometry, with no input of spectral information. We use a data set from the Carnegie Supernovae Project I (CSP) for which optical and near-infrared light-curves were obtained. The apparent magnitude is corrected by two observables, one corresponding to the slope of the plateau in the $V$ band and the second a colour term. We obtain a dispersion of 0.44 mag using a combination of the $(V-i)$ colour and the $r$ band and we are able to reduce the dispersion to 0.39 mag using our golden sample. A comparison of our photometric colour method (PCM) with the standardised candle method (SCM) is also performed. The dispersion obtained for the SCM (which uses both photometric and spectroscopic information) is 0.29 mag which compares with 0.43 mag from the PCM, for the same SN sample. The construction of a photometric Hubble diagram is of high importance in the coming era of large photometric wide-field surveys, which will increase the detection rate of supernovae by orders of magnitude. Such numbers will prohibit spectroscopic follow-up in the vast majority of cases, and hence methods must be deployed which can proceed using solely photometric data.

description: In the context of astrobiological exposure and simulation experiments in the BIOMEX project, the lichen Circinaria gyrosa was investigated by Raman microspectroscopy. Owing to the symbiotic nature of lichens and their remarkable extremotolerance, C. gyrosa represents a valid model organism in recent and current astrobiological research. Biogenic compounds of C. gyrosa were studied that may serve as biomarkers in Raman assisted remote sensing missions, e.g. ExoMars. The surface as well as different internal layers of C. gyrosa have been characterized and data on the detectability and distribution of β-carotene, chitin and calcium oxalate monohydrate (whewellite) are presented in this study. Raman microspectroscopy was applied on natural samples and thin sections. Although calcium oxalates can also be formed by rare geological processes it may serve as a suitable biomarker for astrobiological investigations. In the model organism C. gyrosa, it forms extracellular crystalline deposits embedded in the intra-medullary space and its function is assumed to balance water uptake and gas exchange during the rare, moist to wet environmental periods that are physiologically favourable. This is a factor that was repeatedly demonstrated to be essential for extremotolerant lichens and other organisms. Depending on the decomposition processes of whewellite under extraterrestrial environmental conditions, it may not only serve as a biomarker of recent life, but also of past and fossilized organisms.

Position, Salience, and Ownership Theory and the Pirates: The Rise and Fall of an Atypical Party
Creators: name: Greenstein, Claire
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2013

description: Even if niche parties are not in government, they still affect politics, making it important to understand what causes niche parties to succeed or fail. Bonnie Meguid (2007) created Position, Salience, and Ownership theory (PSO) to argue that the fate of Western European niche parties depends mainly on the strategic combinations that mainstream parties employ against niche parties. In this thesis, I test Meguid's theory on the Swedish and German Pirate Parties. I find that the Swedish Pirates largely conform to PSO theory, but I argue that the German Pirates' fortunes are better explained by the party's organization. This thesis makes two main contributions: it tests Meguid's theory on two parties whose fortunes could not have informed the theory, and it adds to the literature that looks to party organization to explain party trajectories by introducing the idea that some parties contain within themselves the seeds of their own destruction.
