description: We realise an intrinsic optically pumped magnetic gradiometer based on non-linear magneto-optical rotation. We show that our sensor can reach a gradiometric sensitivity of 18 $\text{fT}/\text{cm}/\sqrt{\text{Hz}}$ and can reject common mode homogeneous magnetic field noise with up to 30 dB attenuation. We demonstrate that our magnetic field gradiometer is sufficiently sensitive and resilient to be employed in biomagnetic applications. In particular, we are able to record the auditory evoked response of the human brain, and to perform real-time magnetocardiography in the presence of external magnetic field disturbances. Our gradiometer provides complementary capabilities in human biomagnetic sensing to optically pumped magnetometers, and opens new avenues in the detection of human biomagnetism.

description:
Incarceration among Black sexual minority men and Black transgender women (BSMM/BTW) is disproportionately high in the United States. Limited research has documented the disruptive effect of incarceration on sexual networks and sexual partnership exchange among BSMM/BTW. We estimate the influence of incarceration on selling sex and mediating pathways among 1169 BSMM/BTW enrolled in the HIV Prevention Trials Network (HPTN) 061 cohort to assess this relationship. Mediators investigated were social support, violence, illicit drug use, and distress due to experienced racism and homophobia. During the 6 months following baseline, 14% of the cohort was incarcerated, including 24% of BTW. After adjustment, recent incarceration was associated with 1.57 (95% CI 1.02, 2.42) times the risk of subsequently selling sex. The hypothesized mediators together explained 25% of the relationship, with an indirect effect risk ratio of 1.09 (95% CI 0.97, 1.24). Our results document an association and call for more research investigating mechanisms.

description: Time-resolved diagnostics at Free-Electron Laser (FEL) facilities, in particular electron beam longitudinal phase space (LPS) and FEL power profile measurements, provide information highly valuable for users, machine development studies, and beam setup. We investigate the slice energy resolution of passive streaker setups, in particular the effect of an energy chirp on the measured slice energy spread. Downstream of the hard X-ray SASE2 beamline at the European XFEL, these measurements are enabled by a single-plate non-movable passive wakefield streaker, essentially a rectangular corrugated plate placed inside a vacuum chamber. We show measurements with a time resolution down to a few femtoseconds, and an energy resolution down to a few MeVs.

description: Data storytelling (DS) is rapidly gaining attention as an approach that integrates data, visuals, and narratives to create data stories that can help a particular audience to comprehend the key messages underscored by the data with enhanced efficiency and effectiveness. It has been posited that DS can be especially advantageous for audiences with limited visualisation literacy, by presenting the data clearly and concisely. However, empirical studies confirming whether data stories indeed provide these benefits over conventional data visualisations are scarce. To bridge this gap, we conducted a study with 103 participants to determine whether DS indeed improve both efficiency and effectiveness in tasks related to information retrieval and insights comprehension. Our findings suggest that data stories do improve the efficiency of comprehension tasks, as well as the effectiveness of comprehension tasks that involve a single insight compared with conventional visualisations. Interestingly, these benefits were not associated with participants' visualisation literacy.

description: The static and stationary C-metric are revisited in a generic framework and their interpretations studied in some detail. Specially those with two event horizons, one for the black hole and another for the acceleration. We found that: i) The spacetime of an accelerated static black hole is plagued by either conical singularities or lack of smoothness and compactness of the black hole horizon; ii) By using standard black hole thermodynamics we show that accelerated black holes have higher Hawking temperature than Unruh temperature of the accelerated frame; iii) The usual upper bound on the product of the mass and acceleration parameters <1/sqrt(27) is just a coordinate artifact. The main results are extended to accelerated rotating black holes with no significant changes.

description: It has been suggested that a naked singularity may be a good candidate for a strong gravitational wave burster. The naked singularity occurs in the generic collapse of an inhomogeneous dust ball. We study odd-parity mode of gravitational waves from a naked singularity of the Lema\^ıtre-Tolman-Bondi space-time. The wave equation for gravitational waves are solved by numerical integration using the single null coordinate. The result is that the naked singularity is not a strong source of the odd-parity gravitational radiation although the metric perturbation grows in the central region. Therefore, the Cauchy horizon in this space-time would be marginally stable against odd-parity perturbations.

description: In this work, a new transmission scheme, signal space cognitive cooperation, is introduced by applying the idea of signal space diversity in an underlay spectrum sharing decode-and-forward multi-relay cooperative network. In the proposed structure, the secondary source signal is rotated by a certain angle and then the source and the secondary best relay transmit the in-phase and the quadrature components of the rotated signal. As a consequence, two source signals, rather than one, are transmitted in two-time slots which improves data rates considerably, compared to the conventional cognitive cooperative schemes. In this work, proactive relaying mode is used in which the best relay is selected based on the max-min selection criterion before executing the transmission. Considering both statistical and the instantaneous channel state information of the feedback channel between the primary receiver and the secondary network, two power allocation methods are adopted at the source. For both methods, closed-form expressions of error probability are derived. Moreover, asymptotic analysis is performed and diversity gain is obtained to provide further insights about the system performance. Finally, analytical expressions are verified by Monte-Carlo simulations.

description: We analyze the drunkard's walk on the unit sphere with step size theta and show that the walk converges in order constant/sin^2(theta) steps in the discrepancy metric. This is an application of techniques we develop for bounding the discrepancy of random walks on Gelfand pairs generated by bi-invariant measures. In such cases, Fourier analysis on the acting group admits tractable computations involving spherical functions. We advocate the use of discrepancy as a metric on probabilities for state spaces with isometric group actions.

description: Hitchin's twistor treatment of Schlesinger's equations is extended to the general isomonodromic deformation problem. It is shown that a generic linear system of ordinary differential equations with gauge group SL(n,C) on a Riemann surface X can be obtained by embedding X in a twistor space Z on which sl(n,C) acts. When a certain obstruction vanishes, the isomonodromic deformations are given by deforming X in Z. This is related to a description of the deformations in terms of Hamiltonian flows on a symplectic manifold constructed from affine orbits in the dual Lie algebra of a loop group.

description: The tails of prehistory probability density in nonlinear multistable stochastic systems driven by white Gaussian noise, which has been a subject of recent study, are analyzed by employing the concepts of nonstationary optimal fluctuations. Results of numerical simulations evidence that the prehistory probability density is non-Gaussian and highly asymmetrical that is an essential feature of noise driven fluctuations in nonlinear systems. We show also that in systems with the detail balance the prehistory probability density is the conventional transition probability that obeys the backward Kolmogorov equation.

description: Ferromanganese nodules are a potential energy resource because of their high contents of economically interesting elements (i.e. Mn, Ni, Cu, and Zn). These are higher in diagenetic layers than in hydrogenetic layers. The study of the causes of elemental accumulation in the diagenetic layer is useful for the exploration metal-rich nodules. A diagenetic-dominant ferromanganese nodule, from the central Clarion–Clipperton Fracture Zone of the eastern Pacific Ocean was studied from core to rim. It was divided into four layers and seven sublayers, of the four typical diagenetic sublayers (L1, L2-1, L2-2, and L3-1). Differences were observed in these diagenetic sublayers. L1 presents the highest Mn/Fe ratio (54), the lowest Co content (2262 ppm), and a positive Ce anomaly. L2-1 exhibits high Co (3122 ppm) and Ba contents (4020 ppm), a positive Ce anomaly, and an obvious peak for 10 Å manganate minerals. L2-2 contains the lowest Ni+Cu contents (3.2 wt%), the highest Ba and Co contents (5110 ppm), and the strongest positive Ce anomaly. In L2-2, the δCe value can be positively correlated to the Mn/Fe ratio and a pronounced peak for 10 Å manganate minerals indicates that this layer has the highest mineral crystallinity. L3-1 shows the highest Ni+Cu contents (5.4 wt%), the lowest Ba (1247ppm), and Co (1725 ppm), a weakly positive Ce anomaly, and the poorest mineral crystallization. Diagenetic- and hydrogenetic-endmember mixing models reveal that hydrogenetic input contributes minimally to these chemical changes, whereas diagenetic input contributes greatly. The changes in diagenetic input may be caused by the changes in primary productivity brought about by movement of tectonic plates and the intense activity of the diagenetic pore fluid. The activity may provide a metal source for the diagenetic sublayer (anomalously high Co and Ce content) via the incorporation of metals released from dissolved buried nodules and micronodules under a suboxic or reducing environments.

description: Social media communications are becoming increasingly prevalent; some useful, some false, whether unwittingly or maliciously. An increasing number of rumours daily flood the social networks. Determining their veracity in an autonomous way is a very active and challenging field of research, with a variety of methods proposed. However, most of the models rely on determining the constituent messages' stance towards the rumour, a feature known as the "wisdom of the crowd". Although several supervised machine-learning approaches have been proposed to tackle the message stance classification problem, these have numerous shortcomings. In this paper we argue that semi-supervised learning is more effective than supervised models and use two graph-based methods to demonstrate it. This is not only in terms of classification accuracy, but equally important, in terms of speed and scalability. We use the Label Propagation and Label Spreading algorithms and run experiments on a dataset of 72 rumours and hundreds of thousands messages collected from Twitter. We compare our results on two available datasets to the state-of-the-art to demonstrate our algorithms' performance regarding accuracy, speed and scalability for real-time applications.

title: A general model of MnSi-like helical magnets.
Creators: name: Hall, Kyle
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newofundland
Year: 2020

description: MnSi and other magnets belonging to the B20 designation are known to assume exotic magnetic structures with subtle features. Of these, the most notable is the appearance of long-wavelength helical structures. Previous analyses of these materials considered oft-used and non-specific models to describe these systems. I will present a general, classical model with only nearest neighbour exchange interactions constructed through symmetry considerations. This model is complete up to the determination of the relative strengths of the coupling constants and the inclusion of other interactions. Comparison to other models will reveal a general relationship between this model and those used in previous analyses. Further comparison with experimentally observed features is used to produce magnetic order parameters of the structure and a relationship between their complex values and structure observables. Also presented are the results of computational simulations using the Effective Field Method. These simulations are conducted with specific anisotropic and Zeeman interactions introduced to the model. Periodic boundary conditions are not used to maintain the incommensurate helical structure. The results of these simulations are analyzed to extract several lattice structure parameters and the action of individual exchange constants is considered. Additionally, the relation between this model and others is discussed and the introduction of isolated skyrmions is observed. Finally, the results of preliminary simulations with applied magnetic fields oriented along the helix wavevector are presented. These final results demonstrate the appearance of a conical phase and illuminate the effect of specific anisotropic terms. The critical field Bc₂, i.e., the critical field between the conical and field-induced ferromagnetic states, and the relationship between canting and field strength are also reported.

description:
Thyroid cancer is the most common malignant endocrine tumor. The key test to assess preoperative risk of malignancy is cytologic evaluation of fine-needle aspiration biopsies (FNABs). The evaluation findings can often be indeterminate, leading to unnecessary surgery for benign post-surgical diagnoses. We have developed a deep-learning algorithm to analyze thyroid FNAB whole-slide images (WSIs). We show, on the largest reported data set of thyroid FNAB WSIs, clinical-grade performance in the screening of determinate cases and indications for its use as an ancillary test to disambiguate indeterminate cases. The algorithm screened and definitively classified 45.1% (130/288) of the WSIs as either benign or malignant with risk of malignancy rates of 2.7% and 94.7%, respectively. It reduced the number of indeterminate cases (N = 108) by reclassifying 21.3% (N = 23) as benign with a resultant risk of malignancy rate of 1.8%. Similar results were reproduced using a data set of consecutive FNABs collected during an entire calendar year, achieving clinically acceptable margins of error for thyroid FNAB classification.

description: Nematicity plays an important role in the physics of iron-based superconductors (IBS). Its microscopic origin and in particular its importance for the mechanism of high-temperature superconductivity itself are highly debated. A crucial knowledge in this regard is the degree to which the nematic order influences the electronic structure of these materials. Earlier angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) studies found that the effect is dramatic in three families of IBS including 11, 111 and 122 compounds: energy splitting reaches 70 meV and Fermi surface becomes noticeably distorted. More recent experiments, however, reported significantly lower energy scale in 11 and 111 families, thus questioning the degree and universality of the impact of nematicity on the electronic structure of IBS. Here we revisit the electronic structure of undoped parent BaFe2As2 (122 family). Our systematic ARPES study including the detailed temperature and photon energy dependencies points to the significantly smaller energy scale also in this family of materials, thus establishing the universal scale of this phenomenon in IBS. Our results form a necessary quantitative basis for theories of high-temperature superconductivity focused on the nematicity.

BACKGROUND: Impoverished African Americans (AA) with hypertension face poor health outcomes. PURPOSE: To conduct a cluster-randomized trial testing two interventions, alone and in combination, to improve blood pressure (BP) control in AA with persistently uncontrolled hypertension. METHODS: We engaged primary care practices serving rural Alabama and North Carolina residents, and in each practice we recruited approximately 25 AA adults with persistently uncontrolled hypertension (mean systolic BP >140 mmHg over the year prior to enrollment plus enrollment day BP assessed by research assistants ≥140/90 mmHg). Practices were randomized to peer coaching (PC), practice facilitation (PF), both PC and PF (PC + PF), or enhanced usual care (EUC). Coaches met with participants from PC and PC + PF practices weekly for 8 weeks then monthly over one year, discussing lifestyle changes, medication adherence, home monitoring, and communication with the healthcare team. Facilitators met with PF and PC + PF practices monthly to implement ≥1 quality improvement intervention in each of four domains. Data were collected at 0, 6, and 12 months. RESULTS: We recruited 69 practices and 1596 participants; 18 practices (408 participants) were randomized to EUC, 16 (384 participants) to PF, 19 (424 participants) to PC, and 16 (380 participants) to PC + PF. Participants had mean age 57 years, 61% were women, and 56% reported annual income <$20,000. LIMITATIONS: The PF intervention acts at the practice level, possibly missing intervention effects in trial participants. Neither PC nor PF currently has established clinical reimbursement mechanisms. CONCLUSIONS: This trial will fill evidence gaps regarding practice-level vs. patient-level interventions for rural impoverished AA with uncontrolled hypertension.

description: Accessing semiconductor nanocrystals free from surface defects is an outstanding challenge in the design of materials with targeted properties. Despite the established importance of Z-type ligand surface passivation to eliminate defects, the optical and electronic properties of nanocrystals vary depending on the nanocrystal composition and Z-type ligand identity. In this work, a series of Cd-, Zn-, and Pb-based non-native Z-type ligands with the formula MX2 (X = undecylenate or chloride) were employed to elucidate Z-type ligand characteristics that result in surface passivation of undercoordinated surface ions to eliminate trap states from CdSe nanocrystals. First, CdSe nanocrystals were reacted with N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylene-1,2-diamine (TMEDA) to remove native Cd(oleate)2 Z-type ligands from the surface, resulting in undercoordinated surface chalcogen ions. After subsequent reaction with M(UDA)2, ligands bound to the surface were quantified by NMR spectroscopy, and in parallel, the impact of Z-type ligands on the nanocrystal optical properties was monitored using photoluminescence spectroscopy. We find that Cd- and Zn-based Z-type ligands exhibit similar reactivity with the nanocrystal surface via NMR spectroscopy, yet Cd(UDA)2 passivation results in an 800% PL increase while Zn(UDA)2 passivation yields a 13% increase in photoluminescence intensity. Nanocrystals reacted with Pb-based Z-type ligands have lower surface coverage, as quantified by NMR spectroscopy, and lead to only a marginal increase of nanocrystal photoluminescence intensity (60%). These data indicate that the metal identity of the Z-type ligand has a profound impact on the reactivity and resulting electronic structure of the postsynthetically modified nanocrystal. This work provides a framework for achieving defect-free CdSe nanocrystals.

Search for long-lived particles decaying to final states with a pair of muons in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13.6 TeV

description: An inclusive search for long-lived exotic particles (LLPs) decaying to final states with a pair of muons is presented. The search uses data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36.6 fb$^{-1}$ collected by the CMS experiment from the proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13.6 TeV in 2022, the first year of Run 3 of the CERN LHC. The experimental signature is a pair of oppositely charged muons originating from a common vertex spatially separated from the proton-proton interaction point by distances ranging from several hundred $μ$m to several meters. The sensitivity of the search benefits from new triggers for displaced dimuons developed for Run 3. The results are interpreted in the framework of the hidden Abelian Higgs model, in which the Higgs boson decays to a pair of long-lived dark photons, and of an $R$-parity violating supersymmetry model, in which long-lived neutralinos decay to a pair of muons and a neutrino. The limits set on these models are the most stringent to date in wide regions of lifetimes for LLPs with masses larger than 10 GeV.

description: Digitale Architektur-Rekonstruktion basiert auf wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnissen und fügt die zu vermittelnden Sachverhalte in eine visuelle Form. Eine Rekonstruktion beinhaltet jedoch niemals nur ein reines Abbilden von Wissensinhalten, denn Nichtwissen und Halbwissen sind immanente Bestandteile einer Architektur-Rekonstruktion und jede Rekonstruktion ist ein Prozess der Annäherung an die Realität. Gestalter beeinflussen entscheidend Inhalt und Wirkung eines Bildes durch ihren Umgang mit Wissensanteilen, die auf Fakten basieren, und solchen, die eine Hypothese oder gar eine spekulative Erfindung darstellen. Unterschiedliche Vermittlungsziele erfordern unterschiedliche Vermittlungsstrategien: So lassen sich zum Beispiel Wissenslücken kaschieren oder der Stand des Wissens kann in seiner Unvollständigkeit transparent und lesbar dargelegt werden. Im Artikel werden fünf wesentliche Strategien zur visuellen Vermittlung von Fakt und Hypothese vorgestellt und deren Einsatzmöglichkeiten anhand konkreter Bildbeispiele erläutert. Die Vermittlungsstrategien beinhalten grundlegende konzeptionelle Entscheide und geben den Einsatz von passenden Gestaltungsmitteln vor. Acht Gestaltungsmittel wie Farbe, Transparenz oder Detaillierungsgrad werden identifiziert und anhand von Bildbeispielen besprochen. Der Artikel leistet jedoch keine rezeptartige Anleitung sondern präsentiert vielmehr eine Art Werkzeugkasten, aus dem sich Gestalter und Wissenschaftler für Lehre und Praxis bedienen können und Inspiration für eigenständige Bildlösungen finden.

description: The mitochondrial calcium uniporter (MCU) is the critical protein of the inner mitochondrial membrane that is the primary mediator for calcium uptake into the mitochondrial matrix. Herein we built the optimal homology model of human MCU which was refined through all-atom molecular dynamics simulation. Then, the binding mode of known inhibitor was predicted through molecular docking method, along with molecular dynamics simulation and binding free energy calculation to verify the docking result and stability of the protein-inhibitor complex. Finally, density functional theory (DFT) calculation enhanced our understanding of the molecular interaction of MCU inhibitor. Our research would provide a deeper insight into the interactions between human MCU and its inhibitor, which boosts to develop novel therapy against MCU related disease. Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

description: Using the discrepancy metric, we analyze the rate of convergence of a random walk on the circle generated by d rotations, and establish sharp rates that show that badly approximable d-tuples in R^d give rise to walks with the fastest convergence. We use the discrepancy metric because the walk does not converge in total variation. For badly approximable d-tuples, the discrepancy is bounded above and below by (constant)k^(-d/2), where k is the number of steps in the random walk. We show how the constants depend on the d-tuple.

description: We use recently introduced notion of stochastic soliton lattice for quantitative description of soliton turbulence. We consider the stochastic soliton lattice on a special band-gap scaling of the spectral surface of genus $N$ so that the integrated density of states remains finite as $N \to \infty$ (thermodynamic type limit). We prove existence of the limiting stationary ergodic process and associate it with the soliton turbulence. The phase space of the soliton turbulence is a one-dimensional space with the random Poisson measure. The zero density limit of the soliton turbulence coincides with the Frish - Lloyd potential of the quantum theory of disordered systems.

description:
Electronic health records (EHRs) provide a rich source of observational patient data that can be explored to infer underlying causal relationships. These causal relationships can be applied to augment medical decision-making or suggest hypotheses for healthcare research. In this study, we explored a large-scale EHR dataset on patients with asthma or related conditions (N = 14,937). The dataset included integrated data on features representing demographic factors, clinical measures, and environmental exposures. The data were accessed via a service named the Integrated Clinical and Environmental Service (ICEES). We estimated underlying causal relationships from the data to identify significant predictors of asthma attacks. We also performed simulated interventions on the inferred causal network to detect the causal effects, in terms of shifts in probability distribution for asthma attacks.
Confinement in partially broken abelian Chern-Simons theories

description: Planar Chern-Simons (CS) theories in which a compact abelian gauge group U(1) x U(1) is spontaneously broken to U(1) x Z_N are investigated. Among other things, it is noted that the theories just featuring the mixed CS term coupling the broken to the unbroken U(1) gauge fields in general exhibits an interesting form of confinement: only particles carrying certain multiples of the fundamental vortex flux unit and certain multiples of the fundamental charge of the unbroken U(1) gauge field can appear as free particles. Adding the usual CS term for the broken U(1) gauge fields does not change much. It merely leads to additional Aharonov-Bohm interactions among these particles. Upon introducing the CS term for the unbroken U(1) gauge fields, in contrast, the confinement phenomenon completely disappears.

description: Assessing the quality of discovered results is an important open problem in data mining. Such assessment is particularly vital when mining itemsets, since commonly many of the discovered patterns can be easily explained by background knowledge. The simplest approach to screen uninteresting patterns is to compare the observed frequency against the independence model. Since the parameters for the independence model are the column margins, we can view such screening as a way of using the column margins as background knowledge. In this paper we study techniques for more flexible approaches for infusing background knowledge. Namely, we show that we can efficiently use additional knowledge such as row margins, lazarus counts, and bounds of ones. We demonstrate that these statistics describe forms of data that occur in practice and have been studied in data mining. To infuse the information efficiently we use a maximum entropy approach. In its general setting, solving a maximum entropy model is infeasible, but we demonstrate that for our setting it can be solved in polynomial time. Experiments show that more sophisticated models fit the data better and that using more information improves the frequency prediction of itemsets.
