description: In the past decade dynamic geoeconomic climate modelling has been successful in integrating basic relations in macroeconomic growth and climatology. Now physical scientists and economists at The Penn State University and Cornell University propose to link transient annual climate modelling with the greenhouse gas emissions resulting from a macroeconomic-energy model. In climatological terminology, this is a 3-dimensional General Circulation Model with detailed time and geographic data at the 4.5 degree latitude by 7.5 degree longitude level. The integrated model analysis may proceed up to periods with 10-15 times today's CO2 equivalent concentration level. Feedback effects include space heating and cooling energy demand, and natural ecosystem relationships such as CO2 fertilization and terrestrial CH4 release. In the macroeconomic submodel, an augmented Hotelling analysis incorporates long-term depletion with short-term rising market equilibrium values which reflect growing populations and income. Energy demand is explicitly represented by demand functions, as is the possibility of renewable energy, conservation, or nuclear substitution for fossil fuel, as well as the substitution of coal-based energy services for those now provided by petroleum and natural gas. On a detailed regionally disaggregated level, climate change interactions would be studied for agriculture, morbidity and mortality, sea level rise, and income levels. The Framework Convention on Climate Change charges policy makers to find stable greenhouse gas concentrations "at a level that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system." The Penn State-Cornell Integrated Assessment Model would assist in defining those concentration levels, and the national and international policy pathways such as marketable permits or taxation.
Methods for missing time-series data and large spatial data
Creators: name: Duncan, Rachael
Publisher: name: Lancaster University
Year: 2024

description: Performing accurate statistical inference requires high-quality datasets.
 However, real-world datasets often contain missing variables of varying
 degrees both spatially and temporally. Alternatively, modelled datasets
 can provide a complete dataset, but these are often biased. This thesis
 derives a simplified approach to the skew Kalman filter that tackles the
 computational issues present in the existing skew Kalman filter by using a
 secondary dataset to estimate the skewness parameter. In application, this
 thesis implements the skew Kalman filter using surface-level ozone to
 bias-correct the modelled ozone data and use the bias-corrected data to
 infill missing data in the observed dataset. Further, this thesis explores
 working with large spatial datasets. When carrying out spatial inference,
 using all the possible data available allows for more accurate inference.
 However, spatial models such as Gaussian processes scale cubically with
 the number of data points and thus quickly become computationally
 infeasible for moderate to large datasets. Divide and-conquer methods
 allow data to be split into subsets and inference is carried out on each
 subset before recombining. While well documented in the independent
 setting, these methods are less popular in the spatial setting. This
 thesis evaluates the performance of divide-and-conquer methods in the
 spatial setting to achieve approximate results compared to carrying out
 inference on the full dataset. Finally, this is demonstrated using USA
 temperature data.

description: The probability to record a twisted photon produced by a cold relativistic particle bunch of charged particles is derived. The radiation of twisted photons by such particle bunches in stationary electromagnetic fields and in propagating electromagnetic waves is investigated. It is shown that the incoherent radiation by bunches of particles traversing normally an isotropic dispersive medium (the edge, transition, and Vavilov-Cherenkov radiations) and by bunches moving in a helical undulator does not depend on the azimuthal distribution of particles in the bunch and is the same as for round bunches. As for planar undulators, the incoherent radiation by particle bunches is the same as for the bunches symmetric under reflection with respect to the axis of a twisted photon detector. At high energies of recorded twisted photons, this property is universal and holds for the forward incoherent radiation by any cold relativistic particle bunch. The coherent radiation of twisted photons by such particle bunches obeys the property that we call the addition rule. This rule provides a simple means to describe the properties of coherent radiation of twisted photons. Furthermore, the strong addition rule is established for the coherent radiation by sufficiently long helical bunches. The use of this rule allows one to elaborate superradiant pure sources of twisted photons. The coherent radiation by helical bunches is considered for the edge, transition, and Vavilov-Cherenkov processes and for particles moving in undulators and plane laser waves with circular polarization. In these cases, the sum rules are deduced for the total probability to record a twisted photon and for the projection of the total angular momentum per photon. The explicit expressions for both incoherent and coherent interference factors are derived for several simple bunch profiles.

description: We present a method that exploits self-consistent simulation of coarse-grained and fine-grained models, in order to analyse properties of physical systems. The method uses the coarse-grained model to obtain a first estimate of the quantity of interest, before computing a correction by analysing properties of the fine system. We illustrate the method by applying it to the Asakura-Oosawa (AO) model of colloid-polymer mixtures. We show that the liquid-vapour critical point in that system is affected by three-body interactions which are neglected in the corresponding coarse-grained model. We analyse the size of this effect and the nature of the three-body interactions. We also analyse the accuracy of the method, as a function of the associated computational effort.

description: In the field of evolutionary computation, one of the most challenging topics is algorithm selection. Knowing which heuristics to use for which optimization problem is key to obtaining high-quality solutions. We aim to extend this research topic by taking a first step towards a selection method for adaptive CMA-ES algorithms. We build upon the theoretical work done by van Rijn \textit{et al.} [PPSN'18], in which the potential of switching between different CMA-ES variants was quantified in the context of a modular CMA-ES framework. We demonstrate in this work that their proposed approach is not very reliable, in that implementing the suggested adaptive configurations does not yield the predicted performance gains. We propose a revised approach, which results in a more robust fit between predicted and actual performance. The adaptive CMA-ES approach obtains performance gains on 18 out of 24 tested functions of the BBOB benchmark, with stable advantages of up to 23\%. An analysis of module activation indicates which modules are most crucial for the different phases of optimizing each of the 24 benchmark problems. The module activation also suggests that additional gains are possible when including the (B)IPOP modules, which we have excluded for this present work.

description: Two new 10-methoxydibenzo[b,h][1,6]naphthyridine-2-carboxamide derivatives (R1 and R2) have been synthesized and characterized using different spectral techniques. The binding of these probes with DNA was investigated using spectral (Electronic, fluorescence, 1H NMR and circular dichroism) and molecular docking studies. These probes exhibited a strong fluorescence around 440 nm upon excitation around 380 nm. Electronic and competitive fluorescence titration studies, in HEPES [(4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazineethanesulfonic acid)] buffer/dimethyl sulfoxide (pH 7.4) medium, suggest that these probes bind strongly to DNA, which is substantiated by 1H NMR study. The binding constants are calculated to be 5.3 × 107 and 6.8 × 106 M−1 for R1 and R2, respectively. From the results of spectral studies, it is proposed that the mechanism of binding of these probes with DNA is through minor groove binding mode, which is further confirmed by circular dichroism and molecular docking studies. Initial cell viability screening using MTT (3-[4,5-methylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyl-tetrazolium bromide) assay shows that normal Vero cells are viable towards these probes at nano molar concentration, which is the concentration range employed in the present study for DNA staining (IC50 in the order of 0.023 mM). The enhancement in fluorescence intensity of these probes upon binding with DNA enables the staining of DNA in agarose gel in gel electrophoresis experiment. The sensitivity of these probes is comparable with that of ethidium bromide and DNA amounts as low as 4 nano gram are detectable. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma

description: Keyphrase extraction from documents is useful to a variety of applications such as information retrieval and document summarization. This paper presents an end-to-end method called DivGraphPointer for extracting a set of diversified keyphrases from a document. DivGraphPointer combines the advantages of traditional graph-based ranking methods and recent neural network-based approaches. Specifically, given a document, a word graph is constructed from the document based on word proximity and is encoded with graph convolutional networks, which effectively capture document-level word salience by modeling long-range dependency between words in the document and aggregating multiple appearances of identical words into one node. Furthermore, we propose a diversified point network to generate a set of diverse keyphrases out of the word graph in the decoding process. Experimental results on five benchmark data sets show that our proposed method significantly outperforms the existing state-of-the-art approaches.

A Review of the Medical Ethics Surrounding COVID-19 Lockdowns in Personal Care Homes and the Impacts on Those Living with Dementia
Creators: name: Smith, Hannah
Publisher: name: The Journal of Canada’s Physician Assistants
Year: 2021

description: The impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on personal care homes has played out daily in the media headlines across the country. Although Manitoba seemed to avoid the worst of this early on in the pandemic, recently the province has seen a disturbing surge in overall case levels (Government of Manitoba, 2020). This rise in COVID-19 cases in Manitoba has forced personal care homes to once again lockdown and restrict not only all visitor access but also limit social interaction among the residents themselves. When looking at this situation broadly, locking down all personal care homes seems to be like the obvious decision to make. Residents in personal care homes represent one of our most vulnerable populations and the virus has been shown to spread quickly with serious medical impacts to this group. Significant virus spread in these personal care homes could easily overwhelm our healthcare system and lead to unnecessary deaths. Clearly the decision to lockdown the personal care homes can be readily justified as a means of protecting not only this vulnerable group but also supporting the larger community who either provide healthcare or are requiring healthcare for other non-COVID-19 related reasons. While the above is true, the decision to do this is far from being straight forward. The impacts of these lockdowns are far reaching and go way beyond just the containment of the virus. There is a fine balance between maintaining the emotional and mental well-being of an individual living with dementia and managing the physical health of the greater population.

title: Racial Socialization in Non-Hispanic White American Families: An Exploration of the Role of Parental Racial-Ethnic Socialization
Creators: name: Rodil, Julia C.
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: Racial-ethnic socialization is a largely unstudied topic for White Americans. Most of the research on racial-ethnic socialization (RES) focuses on minority populations, but more literature is starting to focus on RES in White individuals. However, the mechanisms by which RES messages are transmitted are understudied. This study examined how prior parental RES strategies (i.e., egalitarianism, history of other groups, group differences, preparation for bias, general discrimination, and discrimination against other groups) impacted White college students’ own attitudes towards ethnic-racial minorities (i.e., racist, colorblind, and multicultural) and how these attitudes influenced inclusive (and non-inclusive) behavior, psychosocial costs of racism (White empathic reactions towards racism, White guilt, and White fear of others), and implicit biases. Findings showed that group differences and preparation for bias strategies were significantly associated with racist and color-blind attitudes. Results for socialization strategies regarding egalitarian messages and discrimination were mixed. Racist and color-blind attitudes resulted in less inclusive behavior and mixed findings for psychosocial costs (less guilt, less empathy, more fear), whereas multicultural attitudes resulted in less psychosocial costs (less fear and guilt). Results suggest that colorblindness is a particularly dangerous racial attitude, as it is complicit in perpetuating racism by failing to address the reality of racial inequality. The results of this study can be used to target mechanisms for intervention and provide guidance on how to prevent the intergenerational transmission of racism and promote antiracism.

description: PHENIX data on Au+Au at root(s)_= 130 AGeV suggest that p-bar yields may exceed pi- at high p_T > 2 GeV/c. We propose that jet quenching in central collisions suppresses the hard PQCD component of the spectra in central A+A reactions, thereby exposing a novel component of baryon dynamics that we attribute to (gluonic) baryon junctions. We predict that the observed p-bar >= pi- and the p > pi+ anomaly at p_T ~ 2 GeV/c is limited to a finite p_T window that decreases with increasing impact parameter.

Their structure resembles that of an oscillating electric dipole with a poloidal electric field and a toroidal magnetic field that oscillate in-phase with the electron density with frequency below the Langmuir frequency. On the ion time scale the soliton undergoes a Coulomb explosion of its core, resulting in ion acceleration, and then evolves into a slowly expanding quasi-neutral cavity.

The calculation is performed both at leading order in the effective coupling strength g^2 Nf, using the Hard Thermal Loop (HTL) approximation, and completely to all orders in g^2 Nf. This constitutes a nontrivial test of how well the HTL approximation works. We find that in this context, the HTL approximation works well wherever the renormalization point sensitivity of the leading order HTL result is small.

How "Facts" Shaped Modern Disciplines: The Fluid Concept of Fact and the Common Origins of German Physics and Historiography

Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: History and Philosophy of Physics (physics.hist-ph)

description: This history of the concept of fact reveals that the fact-oriented practices of German physicists and historians derived from common origins. The concept of fact became part of the German language remarkably late. It gained momentum only toward the end of the eighteenth century. I show that the concept of fact emerged as part of a historical knowledge tradition, which comprised both human and natural empirical study. Around 1800, parts of this tradition, including the concept of fact, were integrated into the epistemological basis of several emerging disciplines, including physics and historiography. During this process of discipline formation, the concept of fact remained fluid. I reveal this fluidity by unearthing different interpretations and roles of facts in different German contexts around 1800. I demonstrate how a fact-based epistemology emerged at the University of Göttingen in the late eighteenth century, by focusing on universal historian August Ludwig Schlözer and the experimentalist Georg Christoph Lichtenberg. In a time of scientific and political revolutions, they regarded facts as eternal knowledge, contrasting them with short-lived theories and speculations. Remarkably, Schlözer and Lichtenberg construed facts as the basis of Wissenschaft, but not as Wissenschaft itself. Only after 1800, empirically minded German physicists and historians granted facts self-contained value. As physics and historiography became institutionalized at German universities, the concept of fact acquired different interpretations in different disciplinary settings. These related to fact-oriented research practices, such as precision measurement in physics and source criticism in historiography.

description: Field studies involve combinations of exposure, natural dynamics, and effects in natural and agricultural environments. To be more realistic, field studies focussed on pollinating insects must consider the details of biology, life history, behavior, and pollination ecology of the test species. While expensive and time-consuming, these tests provide the most realistic information, especially for social insects, but are valuable for solitary bee species as well. They are more realistic than laboratory studies because they determine the combined effects of natural stressors including weather, food availability, parasites, and pathogens with anthropogenic stressors, such as the pesticide treatment itself, within agroecosystem landscapes. Twenty-four field studies conducted with bees to support the registration of sulfoxaflor and published work are included, and a standardized rating system for the quality and relevance of the studies was used. The studies included Apis mellifera L. Bombus terrestris L. and Osmia bicornis L. The results show that, when SFX products are applied at the highest labeled application rate with bees actively foraging or fed in syrup at equivalent rates, the effects are minor and temporary. Sublethal effects included lethargy, disorientation, and reduced body mass at emergence. No new modes of action and no treatment-related effects on brood rearing were found.

description: Time overruns are common in public works and are not confined to inherently complex tasks. One explanation advanced in this paper is that bidders can undergo unpredictable changes in production costs which generate an option value of waiting. By exploiting the real-option approach, we examine how the inability to force sellers to meet the contract time influences their bidding behaviour, and how this can ultimately affect the parties’ expected payoffs. Further, we examine the outcome of the bidding process when legal rules prevent the promisee from contracting for damage measures which would grant more than her lost expectation. We show that when the pre-agreed compensatory payments prove insufficient to discourage delayed orders, setting a liquidated damages clause would not lead to a Pareto superior outcome with respect to the no-damage-for delay condition. While such a clause would increase the seller’s expected payoff, the buyer’s expected payoff is lower than when the contract does not provide for any compensation for late-delivery.

description: Purpose: Changes in our healthcare system and funding constraints create a pressing need to explore new ways to respond to the ever-increasing demands while maintaining high quality patient care in Radiation Oncology (RO). Physician Assistants (PA) undergo medical training at accredited programs in Canada or the U.S.A. Direct mentorship by supervising Radiation Oncologists (RO) is integral to obtain oncology-based knowledge in order to function in a sub-specialized role. Herein, we aimed to assess a pilot project incorporating a PA within a Department of RO at a tertiary care academic cancer center and to identify opportunities for role expansion. Materials and Methods: From January 2015 to December 2019, data from ambulatory care clinical activities were prospectively collected for a PA practicing in a RO Department. Indicators relating to activities profile (clinical, educational and administrative), new consultations, follow-ups and on-treatment reviews were captured and analyzed. The PA role and schedule has an adaptable component in response to the clinical needs of the RO department, with emphasis to be assigned in clinics where absence of residents or fellows would negatively impact patient flow and wait times. For consistency, data was derived from sites of continuous involvement only, during the period of January – December 2019. Results: Over the 5-year assessment interval, the PA provided at least one session (e.g. half a day) of care-related activities within twelve disease sites. Of these, participation was continuous in 4 sites in 2019: Breast, GU, Eye, and Endocrine. During 2019, the PA was involved (e.g. assessment, evaluation and/or patient education) in 3.2% (49 of 1516) of the Breast, 4.3% (56 of 1311) of the GU, 39.2% (104 of 256) of the Eye and 27% (85 of 314) of the Endocrine clinic new consultations. The total new consultations seen by the PA across all sites for 2019 was 4.16% (377 of 9054) in a department with 37 RO and 1 PA. Conclusions: Within a tertiary care RO Department, a PA provides an additional model of care within a variety of tumor sites. The PA acquired RO related expertise, and the role can expand access to specialized RO care. It has the flexibility to evolve and adapt across disease sites. Incorporating PAs to the care delivery paradigm within busy tertiary centers can increase capacity for patient care, education and research activities. Future studies ascertaining PA impact on patient wait times, task delegation, role expansion, patient satisfaction and value assessment of this model are warranted.

description: 1. Cryptops (Trigonocryptops) bottegii Silvestri, 1897
 Material examined. Sokotra Isl.: Kischen, September 1917, 3 exx., BMNH?. (Fig. 2).
 Type locality. Somalia (between Matagoi and Lugh) (Minelli et al. 2006).
 General distribution. East Tropical Africa: Tanzania (TZ); Northeast Tropical Africa: Sokotra Isl. (YE) (new region record), Somalia (SO) (Minelli et al. 2006).
 Remarks. The largest of the three specimens in the sample from Sokotra is just 17 mm long, compared to material used in previous descriptions (38 mm: Kraepelin 1903; 45 mm: Silvestri 1897; 60 mm: Attems 1910). The NHM specimens have relatively few marginal setae on the coxosternal margin (4+4, 5+5, 6+5 setae) and have fewer saw teeth on the ultimate leg (9 or 10 teeth on the tibia, three on tarsus 1) than in larger specimens from Somilia or Tanzania. Attems (1930) summarized the latter as having 15–16 teeth on the tibia and three, five or six on tarsus 1. The former count is based on the largest known specimen (Attems 1910), and we attribute the difference to ontogeny; the 27 mm long specimen on which Ribaut (1914) based a subspecies from Kenya, C. (T.) bottegii kenyae, resembles the Sokotra specimens in having 6+6 setae on the coxosternal margin and three saw teeth on tarsus 1. The Sokotra specimens show the distal spinose processes on the inner side of the ultimate leg prefemur, outer side of the femur, and both sides of the tibia noted in other material, as well as complete paramedian sutures on the head and TT1–20.
Although the Sokotra Archipelago (Yemen) is the largest and biologically most diverse island group in the Arabian Region (Van Damme and Banfield 2011), in terms of biodiversity the island of Sokotra is mainly influenced by East Africa, being situated about 100 km east of the Horn of Africa.

description: Objectives: The aim of this literature review was to provide a comprehensive report on hospital costs, and cost components, for a range of ventral cavity surgical procedures across three regions of focus: (1) Americas, (2) Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA), and (3) Asia-Pacific. Methods: A structured search was performed and utilized a combination of controlled vocabulary (e.g., “Hepatectomy”, “Colectomy”, “Costs and Cost Analysis”) and keywords (e.g. “liver resection”, “bowel removal”, “economics”). Studies were considered eligible for inclusion if they reported hospital-related costs associated with the procedures of interest. Cost outcomes included operating room (OR) time costs, total OR costs, ward stay costs, total admission costs, OR cost per minute and ward cost per day. All costs were converted to 2018 USD. Results: Total admission costs were observed to be highest in the Americas, with an average cost of $15,791. The average OR time cost per minute was found to vary by region: $24.83 (Americas), $14.29 (Asia-Pacific), and $13.90 (EMEA). A cost-breakdown demonstrated that OR costs typically comprised close to 50%, or more, of hospital admission costs. This review also demonstrates that decreasing OR time by 30 min provides cost savings approximately equivalent to a 1-day reduction in ward time. Conclusion: This literature review provided a comprehensive assessment of hospital costs across various surgical procedures, approaches, and geographical regions. Our findings indicate that novel processes and healthcare technologies that aim to reduce resources such as operating time and hospital stay, can potentially provide resource savings for hospital payers.

description: Ab initio calculations of QED radiative corrections to the $^2P_{1/2}$ - $^2P_{3/2}$ fine-structure transition energy are performed for selected F-like ions. These calculations are nonperturbative in $αZ$ and include all first-order and many-electron second-order effects in $α$. When compared to approximate QED computations, a notable discrepancy is found especially for F-like uranium for which the predicted self-energy contributions even differ in sign. Moreover, all deviations between theory and experiment for the $^2P_{1/2}$ - $^2P_{3/2}$ fine-structure energies of F-like ions, reported recently by Li et al., Phys. Rev. A 98, 020502(R) (2018), are resolved if their highly accurate, non-QED fine-structure values are combined with the QED corrections ab initially evaluated here.

description: 2. Cryptops (Trigonocryptops) gigas Kraepelin, 1903
 Material examined. Cameroon: Mamfe, Mamfediu, 450, 10/6/1933 (2215: 321 m), Percy Sladen Expedition, leg. I. T. Sanderson, 1 ex., BMNH?. (Fig. 2).
 Type locality. Cameroon (German West Africa) (Minelli et al. 2006).
 General distribution. West-Central Tropical Africa: Cameroon (CM) (Minelli et al. 2006).
 Remarks. A specimen from Cameroon is assigned to the only Cryptops (Trigonocryptops) species described from that country that shares its nearly complete paramedian sutures on the cephalic plate, though the difference in size between the specimens (30 mm in the NHM specimen versus 80 mm in the holotype of C. (T.) gigas), coupled with the absence of the ultimate leg pair in the latter, makes comparison imperfect. The NHM specimen has 12 saw teeth on the ultimate leg tibia and two on tarsus 1. Distal spinose processes are present on the inner side of the ultimate leg prefemur, the outer side of the femur, and on both sides of the tibia. Paramedian sutures are incomplete (present anteriorly) on T1, confined to the pretergite of T2, and complete from TT3–20.

description: We calculate the electromagnetic corrections needed to obtain isospin invariant hadronic pion-pion s-wave scattering lengths a^0, a^2 from the elements a_cc, a_0c of the s-wave scattering matrix for the (π^+ π^-, π^0 π^0) system at the π^+ π^- threshold. These elements can be extracted from experiments on pionium. Our calculation uses energy independent hadronic pion-pion potentials that satisfactorily reproduce the low-energy phase shifts given by two-loop chiral pertur- bation theory. We also take into account an important relativistic effect whose inclusion influences the corrections considerably.

description: Solid-state heat-to-electrical power converters are thermodynamic engines that use fundamental particles, such as electrons or photons, as working fluids. Virtually all commercially available devices are thermoelectric generators, in which electrons flow through a solid driven by a temperature difference. Thermophotovoltaics and thermionics are highly efficient alternatives relying on the direct emission of photons and electrons. However, the low energy flux carried by the emitted particles significantly limits their generated electrical power density potential. Creating nanoscale vacuum gaps between the emitter and the receiver in thermionic and thermophotovoltaic devices enables a significant enhancement of the electron and photon energy fluxes, respectively, which in turn results in an increase of the generated electrical power density. Here we propose a thermionic-enhanced near-field thermophotovoltaic device that exploits the simultaneous emission of photons and electrons through nanoscale vacuum gaps. We present the theoretical analysis of a device in which photons and electrons travel from a hot LaB6-coated tungsten emitter to a closely spaced BaF2-coated InGaAs photovoltaic cell. Photon tunnelling and space charge removal across the nanoscale vacuum gap produce a drastic increase in flux of electrons and photons, and subsequently, of the generated electrical power density. We show that conversion efficiencies and electrical power densities of 30% and 70W/cm2 are achievable at 2000K for a practicable gap distance of 100nm, and thus greatly enhance the performances of stand-alone near-field thermophotovoltaic devices (10% and 10W/cm2). A key practical advantage of this nanoscale energy conversion device is the use of grid-less cell designs, eliminating the issue of series resistance and shadowing losses, which are unavoidable in conventional near-field thermophotovoltaic devices.
