description: Background: Injection drug use drives HIV transmission in Southeast Asia, where around a quarter of users are living with HIV. Vietnam developed Methadone Maintenance Therapy (MMT) programs to reduce unsafe drug abuse. Common mental health disorders (CMD), including depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), can worsen MMT outcomes and are highly prevalent among people living with HIV (PLH). We aimed to characterize HIV and CMD among MMT patients and assess the impact of HIV and CMD on MMT engagement outcomes in Hanoi, Vietnam. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at an urban MMT clinic in Hanoi. Participants were screened for CMD with the relevant sections of the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI). Tabular comparisons and regression models were used to understand the association of HIV and CMD with substance use and methadone compliance. Results: Of the 400 MMT participants, 22% were living with HIV, 11% a CMD, 27% reported injection drug use, and 27% reported methadone noncompliance. Around 17% of those with HIV also had a CMD. Reporting non injection and injection drug use were each higher among those with CMD regardless of HIV status. In addition, reporting any drug use was much higher among those with both HIV and CMD than among those with neither (73% vs 31%, p value 0.001). While methadone noncompliance was lower among PLH than among those without HIV (16.3% vs 30.1%, p value 0.010), noncompliance was higher among those with CMD than among those without (40.5% vs 25.6%, p value 0.045). Among those without HIV, noncompliance was higher among those with CMD than among those without, but among those with HIV, the opposite relationship was observed. Conclusion: There is complex overlap between substance use and methadone noncompliance among MMT patients living with HIV, CMD or both. In this population, we found a high prevalence of CMD and substance use among PLH, and a high prevalence of substance use and methadone noncompliance among those with CMD. Prioritizing provision of mental health care services to MMT patients living with HIV can help improve engagement with substance use disorder treatment and reduce the risk of HIV transmission.

description: General expressions for the longitudinal and transverse resistivities of single-crystalline cubic and tetragonal ferromagnets are derived from a series expansion of the resistivity tensor with respect to the magnetization orientation. They are applied to strained (Ga,Mn)As films, grown on (001)- and (113)A-oriented GaAs substrates, where the resistivities are theoretically and experimentally studied for magnetic fields rotated within various planes parallel and perpendicular to the sample surface. We are able to model the measured angular dependences of the resistivities within the framework of a single ferromagnetic domain, calculating the field-dependent orientation of the magnetization by numerically minimizing the free-enthalpy density. Angle-dependent magnetotransport measurements are shown to be a powerful tool for probing both anisotropic magnetoresistance and magnetic anisotropy. The anisotropy parameters of the (Ga,Mn)As films inferred from the magnetotransport measurements agree with those obtained by ferromagnetic resonance measurements within a factor of two.

description: Background: The burden of depression is high among people who inject drugs (PWID) and may contribute to the spread of HIV through poor treatment engagement and persistent viremia. We estimated the effects of depression on antiretroviral therapy (ART) initiation and viral suppression among PWID living with HIV. Methods: Longitudinal data were collected from 455 PWID living with HIV in Vietnam during 2009–2013. We estimated the 6- and 12-month cumulative incidence of ART initiation and viral suppression, accounting for time-varying confounding, competing events, and missing data. The cumulative incidence difference (CID) contrasted the incidence of each outcome had participants always vs. never experienced severe depressive symptoms across study visits to date. Results: Severe depressive symptoms decreased the cumulative incidence of ART initiation, with CID values comparing always vs. never having severe depressive symptoms of -7.5 percentage points (95% CI: -17.2, 2.2) at 6 months and -7.1 (95% CI: -17.9, 3.7) at 12 months. There was no appreciable difference in the cumulative incidence of viral suppression at 6 months (CID = 0.3, 95% CI: -11.3, 11.9) or 12 months (CID = 2.0, 95% CI: -21.8, 25.8). Limitations: Discrepancies between the ART initiation and viral suppression outcomes could be due to under-reporting of ART use and missing data on viral load. Conclusions: Future work probing the seemingly antagonistic effect of depression on treatment uptake – but not viral suppression – will inform the design of interventions promoting HIV clinical outcomes and reducing onward transmission among PWID.
Ultrahigh lattice thermal conductivity in topological semimetal TaN caused by large acoustic-optical gap

description: Topological semimetal may have potential applications like topological qubits, spintronics and quantum computations. Efficient heat dissipation is a key factor for the reliability and stability of topological semimetal-based nano-electronics devices, which is closely related to high thermal conductivity. In this work, the elastic properties and lattice thermal conductivity of TaN are investigated by first-principles calculations and the linearized phonon Boltzmann equation within the single-mode relaxation time approximation (RTA). According to the calculated bulk modulus, shear modulus and $C_{44}$, TaN can be regarded as a potential incompressible and hard material. The room-temperature lattice thermal conductivity is predicted to be 838.62 $\mathrm{W m^{-1} K^{-1}}$ along a axis and 1080.40 $\mathrm{W m^{-1} K^{-1}}$ along c axis, showing very strong anisotropy. It is found that the lattice thermal conductivity of TaN is several tens of times higher than one of other topological semimetal, such as TaAs, MoP and ZrTe, which is due to very longer phonon lifetimes for TaN than other topological semimetal. The very different atomic masses of Ta and N atoms lead to a very large acoustic-optical band gap, and then prohibits the scattering between acoustic and optical phonon modes, which gives rise to very long phonon lifetimes. Based on mass difference factor, the WC and WN can be regarded as potential candidates with ultrahigh lattice thermal conductivity. Calculated results show that isotope scattering has little effect on lattice thermal conductivity, and that phonon with mean free path(MFP) larger than 20 (80) $\mathrm{μm}$ at 300 K has little contribution to the total lattice thermal conductivity. This work implies that TaN-based nano-electronics devices may be more stable and reliable due to efficient heat dissipation.

description: Background: The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) and Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) are widely used depression screening tools, yet perceptions and understandings of their questions and of depression are not well defined in cross-cultural research. Methods: 30 postpartum women living with HIV in Malawi were recruited from a cohort study and participated in in-depth cognitive interviews. Transcripts were evaluated following an inductive approach to identify common themes. Results: Participants most frequently described looking sad or different than usual, self-isolation, ‘thinking too much,’ and anger as key symptoms of being depressed. HIV-associated stigma was commonly identified as a cause of depression. The EPDS and PHQ-9 were generally well understood but did not capture all the important symptoms of depression that women described. Participants sometimes requested clarification or rephrasing of certain EPDS and PHQ-9 questions when asked to explain the questions’ meanings in their own words, and requested rephrasing more often for EPDS questions than PHQ-9 questions. Few women believed either tool was sufficient to detect depression. Limitations: Our results may not be generalizable, but are locally contextualized. Women suffering with depression may have been more or less likely to agree to the qualitative interview depending on their comfort level discussing any current depressive symptoms. Conclusions: Researchers and practitioners who use the EPDS and PHQ-9 should be aware of the tools’ limitations in their context and population. New instruments may need to be developed or adaptations to existing tools made to improve accuracy of depression screening and diagnosis in different cultural contexts.

Distinguishing dynamical features of water inside protein hydration layer: Distribution reveals what is hidden behind the average

description: Since the pioneering works of Pethig, Grant and Wuthrich on protein hydration layer, many studies have been devoted to find out if there are any general and universal characteristic features that can distinguish water molecules inside the protein hydration layer from bulk. Given that the surface itself varies from protein to protein, and that each surface facing the water is heterogeneous, search for universal features has been elusive. Here, we perform atomistic molecular dynamics simulation in order to propose and demonstrate that such defining characteristics can emerge if we look not at average properties but the distribution of relaxation times. We present results of calculations of distributions of residence times and rotational relaxation times for four different protein-water systems, and compare them with the same quantities in the bulk. The distributions in the hydration layer is unusually broad and log-normal in nature, due to the simultaneous presence of peptide backbones that form weak hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic amino acid side chains that form no hydrogen bond and charged polar groups that form strong hydrogen bond with the surrounding water molecules. The broad distribution is responsible for the non-exponential dielectric response and also agrees with large specific heat of the hydration water. Our calculations reveal that while the average time constant is just about 2-3 times larger than that of bulk water, it provides a poor representation of the real behaviour. In particular, the average leads to the erroneous conclusion that water in the hydration layer is bulk-like. However, the observed and calculated lower value of static dielectric constant of hydration layer remained difficult to reconcile with the broad distribution observed in dynamical properties. We offer a plausible explanation of these unique properties.

description: Presentation 'imputeTS: Tidy Univariate Time Series Imputation in R' at Statistical Computing 2019 in Günzburg, Germany. Abstract: While nowadays more and more time series data are generated, missing values quite naturally remain a pervasive problem. Those missing values can compromise subsequent processes, thus replacing missing values (imputation) often benefits the quality of further data analysis. Univariate time series imputation thereby is a special subfield. Imputation techniques for cross-sectional data, time series cross-sectional data or multivariate time series altogether at least partially rely on inter-variable correlations to estimate the missing data. In comparison, univariate time series imputation solely can employ inter-temporal correlations. We present imputeTS , an R package for time series imputation [1]. It provides several dierent state-of-the-art imputation and visualization functions for univariate, equi-spaced time series. Additionally, the package works seamlessly with current tidy data workflows. Favorable use cases hereby do not only include originally univariate time series. Univariate time series imputation is also helpful for multivariate time series with only uncorrelated variables. Another use case are multivariate time series, where whole observations at some points in time are completely missing. Especially the latter case is quite common for sensor data, if the data recording or transmission fails it often does for all variables at once. Meaning no inter-variable correlations can be employed for these points in time. [1] Moritz, S., Bartz-Beielstein, T. (2017). imputeTS: time series missing value imputation in R.

On the variation of the Initial Mass Function

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2000
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: (shortened) In this contribution an average or Galactic-field IMF is defined, stressing that there is evidence for a change in the power-law index at only two masses: near 0.5 Msun and 0.08 Msun. Using this supposed universal IMF, the uncertainty inherent to any observational estimate of the IMF is investigated, by studying the scatter introduced by Poisson noise and the dynamical evolution of star clusters. It is found that this apparent scatter reproduces quite well the observed scatter in power-law index determinations, thus defining the fundamental limit within which any true variation becomes undetectable. Determinations of the power-law indices alpha are subject to systematic errors arising mostly from unresolved binaries. The systematic bias is quantified here, with the result that the single-star IMFs for young star-clusters are systematically steeper by d_alpha=0.5 between 0.1 and 1 Msun than the Galactic-field IMF, which is populated by, on average, about 5 Gyr old stars. The MFs in globular clusters appear to be, on average, systematically flatter than the Galactic-field IMF, and the recent detection of ancient white-dwarf candidates in the Galactic halo and absence of associated low-mass stars suggests a radically different IMF for this ancient population. Star-formation in higher-metallicity environments thus appears to produce relatively more low-mass stars.

description: Introduction: Rapid antiretroviral treatment (ART) initiation reduces time from HIV infection to viral suppression, decreasing HIV transmission risk. Mental health symptoms may influence timing of ART initiation. This study estimated the prevalence of ART initiation at enrolment into HIV care and the relationship between mental health and ART initiation at enrolment into HIV care. Methods: We conducted interviews with 426 individuals initiating HIV care in Cameroon between June 2019 and March 2020 to estimate the association between mental health and timing of ART initiation. Depression (Patient Health Questionnaire-9; cut-point 10), anxiety (Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7; cut-point 10), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) (PTSD Checklist for DSM-5; cut-point 31) and harmful alcohol use (Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test; cut-point 16) were dichotomized to represent those with and without each exposure at first HIV care appointment. Date of ART initiation (date ART prescribed) was ascertained from medical records. Separate multivariable log-binomial regression models were used to estimate the association between mental health exposures and ART initiation at enrolment into care. Results and discussion: Overall, 87% initiated ART at enrolment into HIV care. Approximately 20% reported depressive symptoms, 15% reported PTSD symptoms, 12% reported anxiety symptoms and 13% reported harmful alcohol use. In multivariable analyses, individuals with moderate to severe depressive symptoms had 1.7 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.1, 2.7) times the prevalence of not initiating ART at enrolment into HIV care compared to those with no or mild depressive symptoms. Those with symptoms of PTSD, compared to those without, had 1.9 (95% CI 1.2, 2.9) times the prevalence of not initiating ART at enrolment into HIV care. Symptoms of anxiety or harmful drinking were not associated with ART initiation at enrolment into HIV care in multivariable models. Conclusions: Symptoms of depression and PTSD were associated with lower prevalence of ART initiation at enrolment into HIV care among this sample of individuals initiating HIV care in Cameroon under a “treat all” policy. Research should examine barriers to timely ART initiation, whether incorporating mental health services into HIV care improves timely ART initiation, and whether untreated symptoms of depression and PTSD drive suboptimal HIV care outcomes.

description: We report the experimental generation of a class of spin-orbit vector modes of light via an asymmetric Mach-Zehnder interferometer, obtained from an input beam prepared in a product state of its spin and orbital degrees of freedom. These modes contain a spatially varying polarization structure which may be controllably propagated about the beam axis by varying the retardance between the vertical and horizontal polarization components of the light. Additionally, their transverse spatial intensity distributions may be continuously manipulated by tuning the input polarization parameters. In the case of an analogous biphoton input, we predict that this device will exhibit biphoton (Hong-Ou-Mandel) interference in conjunction with the aforementioned tunable mode transformations.

description: Sau, Lutchyn, Tewari and Das Sarma (SLTD) proposed a heterostructure consisting of a semiconducting thin film sandwiched between an s-wave superconductor and a magnetic insulator and showed possible Majorana zero mode. Here we study spin polarization of the vortex core states and spin selective Andreev reflection at the vortex center of the SLTD model. In the topological phase, the differential conductance at the vortex center contributed from the Andreev reflection, is spin selective and has a quantized value $(dI/dV)^{topo}_A =2e^2/h$ at zero bias. In the topological trivial phase, $(dI/dV)^{trivial}_A$ at the lowest quasiparticle energy of the vortex core is spin selective due to the spin-orbit coupling (SOC). Unlike in the topological phase, $(dI/dV)^{trivial}_A$ is suppressed in the Giaever limit and vanishes exactly at zero bias due to the quantum destruction interference.

description: A simple algorithm is described to sample permutations of identical particles in Path Integral Monte Carlo (PIMC) simulations of continuum many-body systems. The sampling strategy illustrated here is fairly general, and can be easily incorporated in any PIMC implementation based on the staging algorithm. Although it is similar in spirit to an existing prescription, it differs from it in some key aspects. It allows one to sample permutations efficiently, even if long paths (e.g., hundreds, or thousands of slices) are needed. We illustrate its effectiveness by presenting results of a PIMC calculation of thermodynamic properties of superfluid Helium-four, in which a very simple approximation for the high-temperature density matrix was utilized.

description: We present a generalized 4 $\times$ 4 matrix formalism for the description of light propagation in birefringent stratified media. In contrast to previous work, our algorithm is capable of treating arbitrarily anisotropic or isotropic, absorbing or non-absorbing materials and is free of discontinous solutions. We calculate the reflection and transmission coefficients and derive equations for the electric field distribution for any number of layers. The algorithm is easily comprehensible and can be straight forwardly implemented in a computer program. To demonstrate the capabilities of the approach, we calculate the reflectivities, electric field distributions, and dispersion curves for surface phonon polaritons excited in the Otto geometry for selected model systems, where we observe several distinct phenomena ranging from critical coupling to mode splitting, and surface phonon polaritons in hyperbolic media.

description: Introduction: Mental health disorders may negatively impact HIV outcomes, such as viral suppression (VS) and antiretroviral (ART) adherence among people with HIV (PWH) with hazardous alcohol use. This study evaluates the longitudinal association between depression, anxiety symptoms, VS and complete ART adherence among ART clients with hazardous alcohol use in Vietnam; and examines alcohol dependence as a modifier in this association. Methods: This was a secondary data analysis of a trial for hazardous drinking ART clients in Thai Nguyen, Vietnam. From March 2016 to May 2018, 440 ART clients with an Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test-Concise (AUDIT-C) score ≥4 for men and ≥3 for women were enrolled. Individuals were randomized to either a combined intervention, a brief intervention or a standard of care. Data on sociodemographics, depression, anxiety symptoms, alcohol use, VS and ART adherence were collected at baseline, three, six, and twelve months. Generalized estimating equation models controlling for intervention exposure were used to estimate time-lagged associations. Risk ratios were estimated using Poisson regression with robust variance estimation. Results: The mean age of participants was 40.2. The majority was male (96.8%), had at least some secondary school education (85.0%) and had a history of injection drug use (80.9%). No overall effect of depression and anxiety symptoms on VS was observed. When stratified by time, increased anxiety symptoms at six months were associated with VS at 12 months (adjusted risk ratio (aRR) = 1.09; 95% CI 1.02 to 1.17). An increase in depression or anxiety symptoms was associated with a decreased probability of complete ART adherence (depression symptoms: aRR = 0.95; 95% CI: 0.91 to 0.99; anxiety symptoms: aRR = 0.93; 85% CI: 0.88 to 0.99). The negative effects of anxiety symptoms on ART adherence were stronger among participants with alcohol dependence, compared to those without. Conclusions: Depression and anxiety symptoms had no overall effect on VS, although they were associated with a lower probability of complete ART adherence. Interventions focusing on mental healthcare for PWH with hazardous alcohol use are needed, and integration of mental healthcare and alcohol reduction should be implemented in HIV primary care settings.

description: Malaria control may be enhanced by targeting reservoirs of Plasmodium falciparum transmission. One putative reservoir is asymptomatic malaria infections and the scale of their contribution to transmission in natural settings is not known. We assess the contribution of asymptomatic malaria to onward transmission using a 14-month longitudinal cohort of 239 participants in a high transmission site in Western Kenya. We identify P. falciparum in asymptomatically- and symptomatically-infected participants and naturally-fed mosquitoes from their households, genotype all parasites using deep sequencing of the parasite genes pfama1 and pfcsp, and use haplotypes to infer participant-to-mosquito transmission through a probabilistic model. In 1,242 infections (1,039 in people and 203 in mosquitoes), we observe 229 (pfcsp) and 348 (pfama1) unique parasite haplotypes. Using these to link human and mosquito infections, compared with symptomatic infections, asymptomatic infections more than double the odds of transmission to a mosquito among people with both infection types (Odds Ratio: 2.56; 95% Confidence Interval (CI): 1.36–4.81) and among all participants (OR 2.66; 95% CI: 2.05–3.47). Overall, 94.6% (95% CI: 93.1–95.8%) of mosquito infections likely resulted from asymptomatic infections. In high transmission areas, asymptomatic infections are the major contributor to mosquito infections and may be targeted as a component of transmission reduction.

description: BACKGROUND: Depression is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide, including in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Depression often coexists with chronic medical conditions and is associated with worse clinical outcomes. This confluence has led to calls to integrate mental health treatment with chronic disease care systems in LMICs. This article describes the rationale and protocol for a trial comparing the clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of two different intervention packages to implement evidence-based antidepressant management and psychotherapy into chronic noncommunicable disease (NCD) clinics in Malawi. METHODS: Using constrained randomization, the Sub-Saharan Africa Regional Partnership (SHARP) for mental health capacity building will assign five Malawian NCD clinics to a basic implementation strategy via an internal coordinator, a provider within the chronic care clinic who champions depression services by providing training, supervision, operations, and reporting. Another five clinics will be assigned to depression services implementation via an internal coordinator along with an external quality assurance committee, which will provide a quarterly audit of intervention component delivery with feedback to providers and the health management team. RESULTS: The authors will compare key implementation outcomes (fidelity to intervention), clinical effectiveness outcomes (patient health), and cost-effectiveness and will assess characteristics of clinics that may influence uptake and fidelity. NEXT STEPS: This trial will provide key information to guide the Malawi Ministry of Health in scaling up depression management in existing NCD settings. The SHARP trial is anticipated to substantially contribute to enhancing both mental health treatment and implementation science research capacity in Malawi and the wider region.

description: (abridged) We use a theoretical model to predict the clustering properties of galaxy clusters. Our technique accounts for past light-cone effects on the observed clustering and follows the non-linear evolution of the dark matter correlation function and cluster bias factor. A linear treatment of redshift-space distortions is also included. We perform a maximum-likelihood analysis by comparing the theoretical predictions to a set of observational data, both in the optical (APM and EDCC catalogues) and X-ray band (RASS1 Bright Sample, BCS, XBACs, REFLEX). In the framework of CDM models, we compute the constraints on cosmological parameters. Our results show that X-ray data are more powerful than optical ones, allowing smaller regions in the parameter space. We find that the clustering properties of clusters are almost independent of the matter density parameter and of the presence of a cosmological constant, while they appear to be strongly dependent on the shape parameter. Using the X-ray data only, we obtain Gamma~0.1 and 0.4

description: The S-matrices for non-simply-laced affine Toda field theories are considered in the context of a generalised bootstrap principle. The S-matrices, and in particular their poles, depend on a parameter whose range lies between the Coxeter numbers of dual pairs of the corresponding non-simply-laced algebras. It is proposed that only odd order poles in the physical strip with positive coefficients throughout this range should participate in the bootstrap. All other singularities have an explanation in principle in terms of a generalised Coleman-Thun mechanism. Besides the S-matrices introduced by Delius, Grisaru and Zanon, the missing case ($f_4^{(1)},e_6^{(2)}$), is also considered and provides many interesting examples of pole generation.
