description: OBJECTIVES: Guided by Mishel's uncertainty in illness theory, patterns of change in uncertainty were explored over time for patients with prostate cancer and their partners. In addition, the relationships between uncertainty and its antecedents were examined, and the role effects (patient versus partner) on these relationships were assessed. SAMPLE & SETTING: This study is a secondary analysis of the longitudinal data collected from a randomized clinical trial. METHODS & VARIABLES: The current authors fitted multiple-level models that included time-invariant baseline variables (sociodemographics and cancer factors) and time-varying variables (uncertainty, symptoms, and social support) measured at baseline and at 4, 8, and 12 months thereafter. RESULTS: No statistically significant patterns of change in uncertainty over time were detected. Partners reported greater uncertainty than patients. Higher uncertainty was associated with more general and prostate cancer-specific symptoms, recurrent and advanced prostate cancer, higher prostate-specific antigen level, and lower social support. More urinary symptoms were associated with greater uncertainty in patients than in partners. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING: Uncertainty management can be tailored for and target symptom management and social support.
The Aboriginal people of Erambie: descendants of the Wiradjuri

description: This thesis is a study of the culture of a small community of Aboriginal people at Erambie, near Cowra, N.S.W. These people are consciously and deliberately recreating, renewing their culture. They are the descendants of the Wiradjuri of the Lachlan Valley and are now looking to their past to understand their present and create their future. This work examines why this is necessary for them. In order to do this, it, like them, looks to the culture of their ancestors and traces the forces that have acted upon them and their descendants through their effects today. It thus demonstrates the continuum from the culture of their forebears to the culture of the Aboriginal people of Erambie today. Part of this continuum is the importance of land then and now. The significance of land now is a vital element necessary for the preservation of their culture. All of the foregoing provides documentation of grounds for a land claim made by them and attached to this work. The claim was put together by me, according to their instructions.

Groundwater modelling

description: The Groundwater Modelling Decision Support Initiative (GMDSI) is an industry-funded and industry-aligned project focused on improving the role that groundwater modelling plays in supporting environmental management and decision-making. Over the life of the project, it will document a number of examples of decision-support groundwater modelling. These documented worked examples will attempt to demonstrate that by following the scientific method, and by employing modern, computer-based approaches to data assimilation, the uncertainties associated with groundwater model predictions can be both quantified and reduced. With realistic confidence intervals associated with predictions of management interest, the risks associated with different courses of management action can be properly assessed before critical decisions are made. GMDSI worked example reports, one of which you are now reading, are deliberately different from other modelling reports. They do not describe all of the nuances of a particular study site. They do not provide every construction and deployment detail of a particular model. In fact, they are not written for modelling specialists at all. Instead, a GMDSI worked example report is written with a broader audience in mind. Its intention is to convey concepts, rather than to record details of model construction. In doing so, it attempts to raise its readers’ awareness of modelling and data-assimilation possibilities that may prove useful in their own modelling and management contexts.

Objective

Illness uncertainty is a significant source of psychological distress that affects cancer patients' quality of life (QOL). Mishel's uncertainty in illness theory (UIT) proposes that illness uncertainty influences an individual's use of coping strategies, and directly and indirectly influences their QOL. This study tested the relationships depicted in the adapted UIT in cancer patients.
Methods

This cross-sectional study is a secondary analysis of the baseline data from a randomized clinical trial (N = 263 prostate cancer patients). Patients were diagnosed with localized (64.6%), biochemical recurrent (12.6%), or advanced (22.8%) prostate cancer. Uncertainty, coping (avoidant and active coping strategies), and QOL (physical and mental well-being) were measured using the Mishel's uncertainty of illness scale, Brief COPE, and the Medical Outcomes Study 12-item short form (SF-12), respectively. We used path analysis to achieve the research aim.
Results

Patients' illness uncertainty directly, negatively influenced their physical well-being (P < .001) and mental well-being (P < .05). Patients' illness uncertainty was positively related to their avoidant coping strategies (P < .001). Patients' active and avoidant coping strategies influenced their mental well-being (P < .001). Uncertainty also negatively influenced mental well-being through avoidant coping strategies. The model had excellent fit to the data.
Conclusions

Our findings have indicated the potential of improving QOL by decreasing illness uncertainty and reducing avoidant coping strategies. Future research is needed to better understand the complex relationships between illness uncertainty, coping strategies, and domains of QOL among patients with different types of cancer using longitudinal research.

description: We aimed to understand drivers of HIV-infection in pregnant women in Malawi. The study was conducted in antenatal and labor and delivery wards. HIV-infected women and their partners (cases) were frequency matched in a 1:2 ratio based on age and screening location to HIV-uninfected women and their partners (controls) in a prevalent case–control study. Characteristics associated with female HIV infection were assessed using logistic regression modeling. At screening, HIV-infected women were more likely to have partners outside Lilongwe than HIV-uninfected women (24% vs. 0%, p < 0.0001). Case females were more likely to have HIV-infected study partners than control females (75% vs. 4%, p < 0.0001). The odds of female HIV-infection were higher if either couple member reported ≥ 2 lifetime marriages (OR 9.0, CI 2.6–30.9) or ≥ 3 lifetime partners (OR 18.0, CI 3.1–103.6) and lower if either reported past couple HIV testing and counseling (OR 0.1, CI 0.04–0.3). Targeting women with migrating partners, promoting couple HIV testing and counseling, and limiting partners could slow HIV transmission.

description: We study the two-dimensional superconductor-insulator transition (SIT) in thin films of tantalum nitride. At zero magnetic field, films can be disorder-tuned across the SIT by adjusting thickness and film stoichiometry; insulating films exhibit classical hopping transport. Superconducting films exhibit a magnetic field-tuned SIT, whose insulating ground state at high field appears to be a quantum-corrected metal. Scaling behavior at the field-tuned SIT shows classical percolation critical exponents $z ν\approx$ 1.3, with a corresponding critical field $H_c \ll H_{c2}$. The Hall effect shows a crossing point near $H_c$, but with a non-universal critical value $ρ_{xy}^c$ comparable to the normal state Hall resistivity. We propose that high-carrier density metals will always exhibit this pattern of behavior at the boundary between superconducting and (trivially) insulating ground states.

description: Background

Despite international support for increasing access to contraceptives among adolescents, gaps in use still exist worldwide. Past research has identified barriers to use across all levels of the socioecological model including restrictive policies, a lack of youth friendly services, and knowledge gaps. This study was conducted to further identify influences on contraceptive use among adolescent girls in Nigeria in hopes of guiding future policies and programs.
Methods

In 2018, 12 focus group discussions (FGD) were conducted in three cities in Nigeria with young women ages 15–24 with the objective of determining what and who influence adolescents’ contraceptive seeking behaviors. A vignette structure was used to identify perceptions on injunctive and descriptive community norms that influence adolescent contraceptive behaviors. The FGDs were conducted by members of the University of Ibadan Centre for Population and Reproductive Health (CPRH) and analyzed by a researcher at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill’s Carolina Population Center using a thematic analysis approach.
Results

Participants identified community level resistance to sex and contraceptive use among unmarried adolescents though also acknowledged that these adolescent behaviors are still occurring despite established norms. Concerns about side effects and the preservation of fertility were frequently attached to contraceptive use and pointed to as a reason for community resistance to contraceptive use among this population. Participants saw peers, parents and partners as influencers on a girl’s decision to seek a method, though each were believed to play a different role in that decision.
Conclusion

The findings show that that despite barriers created by established injunctive norms, young women with a supportive social network can access contraceptive methods despite these barriers. By harnessing the influence of peers, partners and parents, the Nigerian family planning efforts can strive to improve the health and well-being of young people.

description: In the multiscalar-metric frameworks, the issues of the vacuum energy/cosmological constant (CC) screening due to the Weyl-scale enhancement of the Diff gauge symmetry, along with emergence of the massive dark gravity components through the gravitational Higgs mechanism are considered. A generic dark gravity model is developed, with the two extreme versions of the model of particular interest based on General Relativity (GR) and its classically equivalent Weyl transverse alternative being compared and argued to be, generally, inequivalent. The so constructed spontaneously broken Weyl Transverse Relativity (WTR) is proposed as a viable beyond-GR effective field theory of gravity, with screening of the Lagrangian CC, superseded by the induced one, and emergence of the massive tensor and scalar gravitons as the dark gravity components. A basic concept with the spontaneously broken Diff gauge symmetry/relativity -- in particular, WTR vs. GR -- as a principle source of the emergent dark gravity components of the Universe is put forward.

Integration of temporal and spatial properties of dynamic connectivity networks for automatic diagnosis of brain disease
Creators: name: Shen, Dinggang

Publisher: name: Elsevier
Year: 2018

description: Functional connectivity networks (FCNs) using resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) have been applied to the analysis and diagnosis of brain disease, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD) and its prodrome, i.e., mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Different from conventional studies focusing on static descriptions on functional connectivity (FC) between brain regions in rs-fMRI, recent studies have resorted to dynamic connectivity networks (DCNs) to characterize the dynamic changes of FC, since dynamic changes of FC may indicate changes in macroscopic neural activity patterns in cognitive and behavioral aspects. However, most of the existing studies only investigate the temporal properties of DCNs (e.g., temporal variability of FC between specific brain regions), ignoring the important spatial properties of the network (e.g., spatial variability of FC associated with a specific brain region). Also, emerging evidence on FCNs has suggested that, besides temporal variability, there is significant spatial variability of activity foci over time. Hence, integrating both temporal and spatial properties of DCNs can intuitively promote the performance of connectivity-network-based learning methods. In this paper, we first define a new measure to characterize the spatial variability of DCNs, and then propose a novel learning framework to integrate both temporal and spatial variabilities of DCNs for automatic brain disease diagnosis. Specifically, we first construct DCNs from the rs-fMRI time series at successive non-overlapping time windows. Then, we characterize the spatial variability of a specific brain region by computing the correlation of functional sequences (i.e., the changing profile of FC between a pair of brain regions within all time windows) associated with this region. Furthermore, we extract both temporal variabilities and spatial variabilities from DCNs as features, and integrate them for classification by using manifold regularized multi-task feature learning and multi-kernel learning techniques. Results on 149 subjects with baseline rs-fMRI data from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) suggest that our method can not only improve the classification performance in comparison with state-of-the-art methods, but also provide insights into the spatio-temporal interaction patterns of brain activity and their changes in brain disorders.

Chandra Reveals Heavy Obscuration and Circumnuclear Star Formation in Seyfert 2 Galaxy NGC 4968

description: We present the Chandra imaging and spectral analysis of NGC 4968, a nearby (z = 0.00986) Seyfert 2 galaxy. We discover extended ($\sim$1 kpc) X-ray emission in the soft band (0.5 - 2 keV) that is neither coincident with the narrow line region nor the extended radio emission. Based on spectral modeling, it is linked to on-going star formation ($\sim$2.6-4 M$_{\sun}$ yr$^{-1}$). The soft emission at circumnuclear scales (inner $\sim$400 pc) originates from hot gas, with kT $\sim$ 0.7 keV, while the most extended thermal emission is cooler (kT $\sim$ 0.3 keV). We refine previous measurements of the extreme Fe K$α$ equivalent width in this source (EW = 2.5$^{+2.6}_{-1.0}$ keV), which suggests the central engine is completely embedded within Compton-thick levels of obscuration. Using physically motivated models fit to the Chandra spectrum, we derive a Compton-thick column density ($N_{\rm H} > 1.25\times10^{24}$ cm$^{-2}$) and an intrinsic hard (2-10 keV) X-ray luminosity of $\sim$3-8$\times 10^{42}$ erg s$^{-1}$ (depending on the presumed geometry of the obscurer), which is over two orders of magnitude larger than that observed. The large Fe K$α$ EW suggests a spherical covering geometry, which could be confirmed with X-ray measurements above 10 keV. NGC 4968 is similar to other active galaxies that exhibit extreme Fe K$α$ EWs (i.e., $>$2 keV) in that they also contain ongoing star formation. This work supports the idea that gas associated with nuclear star formation may increase the covering factor of the enshrouding gas and play a role in obscuring AGN.

Intertextuality, heteroglossia, and systemic functional linguistics: a framework for analysing ideology
Creators: name: McAndrew, John
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: This study is concerned with presenting a framework for the analysis of ideology. Ideology is seen as a symbolically articulated phenomenon, understandable through a detailed description of the intertextual and heteroglossic relations that a text enacts in tandem with analysis of the patterns of foregrounding within the text. Through the investigation, this study aims to map significantly relevant elements of the context of culture (Malinowski 1935; Halliday and Hasan 1985) for a particular text. It adopts the systemic functional linguistic model both for lexicogrammatical analysis and for defining the context-text relationship (e.g. Halliday and Hasan 1985; Hasan 1995, 1999; Matthiessen 1993). -- In order to exemplify the framework one central text is analysed in the context of its relevant intertexts - the realizations of the meanings put forward by the various social groups which significantly 'frame' that text. The central text is an Australian New South Wales Government advertisement for NSW Forest Agreements (hereafter NSWFA text). Corresponding texts, realizing and instantiating intertextually significant Discourses, are positioned for analysis using the 'issues as ideological systems' model (Martin 1985,1986). Lemke's conception of intertextual semantics (e.g. Lemke 1995a) is used to show how meanings in the NSWFA text construe meanings in two competing Discourses (those of the timber industry and of conservationism). Examination of the meaning-making choices in the lexicogrammar, rhetorical structure, appraisal, visual modality and multimodality is carried out on the NSWFA text in order to realise the consistently foregrounded patterns of meanings (Hasan 1985; Halliday and Hasan 1985). Based on these findings, discourse formations, which can be understood as the lexicogrammatical semantic relations in which a participant is enmeshed together with its intertextually derived meanings, are constructed for the core participants in the NSWFA text. These are then compared with discourse formations in the texts of the surrounding Discourses to reveal the heteroglossic relations that the text enacts. By analysis of the instantiation of meanings made in the surrounding texts - the Discourse voices of social groups in the community - and of the heteroglossic value-orientations constructed towards these social groups, the framework is able to put on display the ideology of the text.

description: We report on electrical transport properties of epitaxial Ba(Fe1-xNix)2As2 thin films grown by pulsed laser deposition in static magnetic fields up to 35 T. The thin film shows a critical temperature of 17.2 K and a critical current density of 5.7x10^5 A/cm^2 in self field at 4.2 K while the pinning is dominated by elastic pinning at two-dimensional nonmagnetic defects. Compared to single-crystal data, we find a higher slope of the upper critical field for the thin film at a similar doping level and a small anisotropy. Also an unusual small vortex liquid phase was observed at low temperatures, which is a striking difference to Co-doped BaFe2As2 thin films.

Interferon Lambda Signals in Maternal Tissues to Exert Protective and Pathogenic Effects in a Gestational Stage-Dependent Manner

Publisher: name: American Society for Microbiology

description: Interferon lambda (IFN-λ) (type III IFN) is constitutively secreted from human placental cells in culture and reduces Zika virus (ZIKV) transplacental transmission in mice. However, the roles of IFN-λ during healthy pregnancy and in restricting congenital infection remain unclear. Here, we used mice lacking the IFN-λ receptor (Ifnlr1−/−) to generate pregnancies lacking either maternal or fetal IFN-λ responsiveness and found that the antiviral effect of IFN-λ resulted from signaling exclusively in maternal tissues. This protective effect depended on gestational stage, as infection earlier in pregnancy (E7 rather than E9) resulted in enhanced transplacental transmission of ZIKV. In Ifnar1−/− dams, which sustain robust ZIKV infection, maternal IFN-λ signaling caused fetal resorption and intrauterine growth restriction. Pregnancy pathology elicited by poly(I·C) treatment also was mediated by maternal IFN-λ signaling, specifically in maternal leukocytes, and also occurred in a gestational stage-dependent manner. These findings identify an unexpected effect of IFN-λ signaling, specifically in maternal (rather than placental or fetal) tissues, which is distinct from the pathogenic effects of IFN-αβ (type I IFN) during pregnancy. These results highlight the complexity of immune signaling at the maternal-fetal interface, where disparate outcomes can result from signaling at different gestational stages.
IMPORTANCE Pregnancy is an immunologically complex situation, which must balance protecting the fetus from maternal pathogens with preventing maternal immune rejection of non-self fetal and placental tissue. Cytokines, such as interferon lambda (IFN-λ), contribute to antiviral immunity at the maternal-fetal interface. We found in a mouse model of congenital Zika virus infection that IFN-λ can have either a protective antiviral effect or cause immune-mediated pathology, depending on the stage of gestation when IFN-λ signaling occurs. Remarkably, both the protective and pathogenic effects of IFN-λ occurred through signaling exclusively in maternal immune cells rather than in fetal or placental tissues or in other maternal cell types, identifying a new role for IFN-λ at the maternal-fetal interface.

description: Complement aids in the construction of an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. Tumor cell–derived C3 has been previously reported, but whether and how it acts on antitumor immunity remains to be elucidated. Here, we describe a mechanism for tumor cell–derived C3 in suppressing antitumor immunity. Tumor cell–derived C3 was activated intracellularly, which results in generation of C3a. C3a modulated tumor-associated macrophages via C3a-C3aR-PI3Kγ signaling, thereby repressing antitumor immunity. Deletion of C3 in tumor cells that had high C3 expression enhanced efficacy of anti–PD-L1 treatment. Collectively, our results suggest tumor cell–derived C3 may be a useful target for cancer immunotherapy and that targeting C3 in tumor cells may enhance antitumor immunity.

Our recent preliminary explorations of the binary chemical compounds indicated that chromium-based materials are among the hardest transition metal compounds. Motivated by this, here we explore in detail the binary Cr-B, Cr-C and Cr-N systems using global optimization techniques. Calculated enthalpy of formation and hardness of predicted materials were used for Pareto optimization to define the hardest materials with lowest energy. Our calculations recover all numerous known stable compounds (except $Cr_{23}C_6$ with its large unit cell) and discover a novel stable phase $Pmn2_1$-$Cr_2C$. We resolve the structure of $Cr_2N$ and find it to be of anti-$CaCl_2$ type (space group Pnnm). Many of these phases possess remarkable hardness, but only $CrB_4$ is superhard (Vickers hardness 48 GPa). Among chromium compounds, borides generally possess highest hardnesses and greatest stability. Under pressure, we predict stabilization of a TMDC-like phase of $Cr_2N$, a WC-type phase of CrN, and a new compound $CrN_4$. Nitrogen-rich chromium nitride $CrN_4$ is a high energy-density material featuring polymeric nitrogen chains. In the presence of metal atoms polymerization of nitrogen takes place at much lower pressures: $CrN_4$ becomes stable at 15 GPa.

description: Balanced immunity is pivotal for health and homeostasis. CD4+ helper T (Th) cells are central to the balance between immune tolerance and immune rejection. Th cells adopt distinct functions to maintain tolerance and clear pathogens. Dysregulation of Th cell function often leads to maladies, including autoimmunity, inflammatory disease, cancer, and infection. Regulatory T (Treg) and Th17 cells are critical Th cell types involved in immune tolerance, homeostasis, pathogenicity, and pathogen clearance. It is therefore critical to understand how Treg and Th17 cells are regulated in health and disease. Cytokines are instrumental in directing Treg and Th17 cell function. The evolutionarily conserved TGF-β (transforming growth factor-β) cytokine superfamily is of particular interest because it is central to the biology of both Treg cells that are predominantly immunosuppressive and Th17 cells that can be proinflammatory, pathogenic, and immune regulatory. How TGF-β superfamily members and their intricate signaling pathways regulate Treg and Th17 cell function is a question that has been intensely investigated for two decades. Here, we introduce the fundamental biology of TGF-β superfamily signaling, Treg cells, and Th17 cells and discuss in detail how the TGF-β superfamily contributes to Treg and Th17 cell biology through complex yet ordered and cooperative signaling networks.

description: By the end of the second quarter of 2016, Facebook had approximately 1.7 billion active users, thereby offering marketers an effective platform for developing creative campaigns. Considering the significance of creativity in social media campaigns, and given the paucity of studies on this topic, the need for qualitative research to fill this gap was clear. Therefore, this thesis was aimed at providing a conceptual basis for understanding how advertising agencies produce creative social media campaigns. The research adopted a grounded theory involving in-depth interviews with social media professionals from 20 Australian advertising agencies. Nine themes emerged from the findings with regard to increasing creativity in developing social media campaigns: the agency-client relationship, trust, risk attitude, openness, target audience, budget, time, creativity components, and the creative process. These themes were grouped into three main factors: client, agency, and creativity. The findings point to conflicts between social media agencies and their clients which are also typical of the conflicts observed between advertising agencies and their clients. Respondents reported that most of these conflicts can decrease creativity, and the clients should be more open to the agency resolving these conflicts. Finally, the thesis concludes with implications for marketers, limitations, and areas for further research.

description: This paper presents a supervised Aspect Based Sentiment Analysis (ABSA) system. Our aim is to develop a modular platform which allows to easily conduct experiments by replacing the modules or adding new features. We obtain the best result in the Opinion Target Extraction (OTE) task (slot 2) using an off-the-shelf sequence labeler. The target polarity classification (slot 3) is addressed by means of a multiclass SVM algorithm which includes lexical based features such as the polarity values obtained from domain and open polarity lexicons. The system obtains accuracies of 0.70 and 0.73 for the restaurant and laptop domain respectively, and performs second best in the out-of-domain hotel, achieving an accuracy of 0.80.

description: Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a serious mental illness characterized by dysfunctional connectivity among distributed brain regions. Previous connectome studies based on functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) have focused primarily on undirected functional connectivity and existing directed effective connectivity (EC) studies concerned mostly task-based fMRI and incorporated only a few brain regions. To overcome these limitations and understand whether MDD is mediated by within-network or between-network connectivities, we applied spectral dynamic causal modeling to estimate EC of a large-scale network with 27 regions of interests from four distributed functional brain networks (default mode, executive control, salience, and limbic networks), based on large sample-size resting-state fMRI consisting of 100 healthy subjects and 100 individuals with first-episode drug-naive MDD. We applied a newly developed parametric empirical Bayes (PEB) framework to test specific hypotheses. We showed that MDD altered EC both within and between high-order functional networks. Specifically, MDD is associated with reduced excitatory connectivity mainly within the default mode network (DMN), and between the default mode and salience networks. In addition, the network-averaged inhibitory EC within the DMN was found to be significantly elevated in the MDD. The coexistence of the reduced excitatory but increased inhibitory causal connections within the DMNs may underlie disrupted self-recognition and emotional control in MDD. Overall, this study emphasizes that MDD could be associated with altered causal interactions among high-order brain functional networks.
Lead (Pb) contamination in low- and middle-income countries: exposures, outcomes and mitigation

description: Human lead exposure contributes to a number of adverse health and social outcomes. The most significant historical source of exposure was the addition to tetraethyl lead (TEL) to petrol throughout the 20th century, which resulted in widespread contamination of human and natural environments. By the early 21st century nearly all countries had taken steps to phase out the use of TEL. Subsequent biological assessments of humans have universally shown significant and rapid declines in lead concentrations, typically measured in blood. In high income countries, the declines were particularly substantial. In the United States, for example, mean blood lead levels (BLLs) are currently < 1 μg/dL compared to > 15 μg/dL before the 1976 phase out. In contrast BLLs in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs )have remained elevated, with national mean BLLs above 5 μg/dL in multiple locations. Despite this, little is known about the continued nature and extent of lead exposure in LMICs. This thesis sought to characterize sources of human lead exposure in LMICs, quantify their impact, and propose methods of mitigation. It is comprised of 12 studies arranged in three chapters along these themes. In the first chapter, sources of human lead exposure in LMICs were evaluated through a systematic literature review and in situ assessment. In the second chapter, the attributable disease burden of some of those sources was quantified using common public health metrics, primarily Disability Adjusted Life Years (DALYs). Finally, in the third chapter, mitigation case studies were executed in three different countries and evaluated for their efficacy. The thesis contends that lead exposure in LMICs is primarily industrial in nature and results in a larger disease burden than is currently estimated. In addition it argues that cost effective measures exist to mitigate some of the more significant sources of exposure.

description: The mass spectra of the $ϕϕ$ and $J/ψϕ$ states in the decay $B^0_s\to J/ψϕϕ$ recently observed by LHCb are calculated in the model which takes into account the $J^P=0^+,0^-,2^+$ intermediate resonances $R_1$, $R_2$ in the $ϕϕ$ channel and the $J^P=1^+$ ones, $X_1$, $X_2$, in the $J/ψϕ$ channel. When obtaining the expressions for the effective amplitudes and mass spectra, the approximate threshold kinematics of the decay is used essentially. The $R_1-R_2$ and $X_1-X_2$ mixings arising due to the common decay modes $ϕϕ$ and $J/ψϕ$, respectively, are also taken into account. The obtained expressions for the mass spectra are applied for extracting the information about masses and coupling constants of the resonances in the $ϕϕ$ and $J/ψϕ$ final states.

description: Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) measures changes in blood-oxygenation-level-dependent (BOLD) signals to detect brain activities. It has been recently reported that the spatial correlation patterns of resting-state BOLD signals in the white matter (WM) also give WM information often measured by diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). These correlation patterns can be captured using functional correlation tensor (FCT), which is analogous to the diffusion tensor (DT) obtained from DTI. In this paper, we propose a noise-robust FCT method aiming at further improving its quality, and making it eligible for further neuroscience study. The novel FCT estimation method consists of three major steps: First, we estimate the initial FCT using a patch-based approach for BOLD signal correlation to improve the noise robustness. Second, by utilizing the relationship between functional and diffusion data, we employ a regression forest model to learn the mapping between the initial FCTs and the corresponding DTs using the training data. The learned forest can then be applied to predict the DTI-like tensors given the initial FCTs from the testing fMRI data. Third, we re-estimate the enhanced FCT by utilizing the DTI-like tensors as a feedback guidance to further improve FCT computation. We have demonstrated the utility of our enhanced FCTs in Alzheimer's disease (AD) diagnosis by identifying mild cognitive impairment (MCI) patients from normal subjects.

description: Abstract. Land use and land cover change (LULCC) impacts local and regional climates through various biogeophysical processes. Accurate representation of land surface parameters in land surface models (LSMs) is essential to accurately predict these LULCC-induced climate signals. In this work, we test the applicability of the default Noah, Noah-MP, and Community Land Model (CLM) LSMs in the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model over Sub-Saharan Africa. We find that the default WRF LSMs do not accurately represent surface albedo, leaf area index, and surface roughness in this region due to various flawed assumptions, including the treatment of the MODIS woody savanna land use and land cover (LULC) category as closed shrubland. Consequently, we developed a WRF CLM version with more accurate African land surface parameters (CLM-AF), designed such that it can be used to evaluate the influence of LULCC. We evaluate meteorological performance for the default LSMs and CLM-AF against observational datasets, gridded products, and satellite estimates. Further, we conduct LULCC experiments with each LSM to determine if differences in land surface parameters impact the LULCC-induced climate responses. Despite clear deficiencies in surface parameters, all LSMs reasonably capture the spatial pattern and magnitude of near-surface temperature and precipitation. However, in the LULCC experiments, inaccuracies in the default LSMs result in illogical localized temperature and precipitation changes. Differences in thermal changes between Noah-MP and CLM-AF indicate that the temperature impacts from LULCC are dependent on the sensitivity of evapotranspiration to LULCC in Sub-Saharan Africa. Errors in land surface parameters indicate that the default WRF LSMs considered are not suitable for LULCC experiments in tropical or Southern Hemisphere regions and that proficient meteorological model performance can mask these issues. We find CLM-AF to be suitable for use in Sub-Saharan Africa LULCC studies, but more work is needed by the WRF community to improve its applicability to other tropical and Southern Hemisphere climates.

description: Missing data is a common problem in longitudinal studies due to subject dropouts and failed scans. We present a graph-based convolutional neural network to predict missing diffusion MRI data. In particular, we consider the relationships between sampling points in the spatial domain and the diffusion wave-vector domain to construct a graph. We then use a graph convolutional network to learn the non-linear mapping from available data to missing data. Our method harnesses a multi-scale residual architecture with adversarial learning for prediction with greater accuracy and perceptual quality. Experimental results show that our method is accurate and robust in the longitudinal prediction of infant brain diffusion MRI data.
