description: A variety of "key recovery," "key escrow," and "trusted third-party" encryption requirements have been suggested in recent years by government agencies seeking to conduct covert surveillance within the changing environments brought about by new technologies. This report examines the fundamental properties of these requirements and attempts to outline the technical risks, costs, and implications of deploying systems that provide government access to encryption keys.

description: It has been pointed out that the axion electrodynamics exhibits instability in the presence of a background electric field. We show that the instability leads to a complete screening of an applied electric field above a certain critical value and the excess energy is converted into a magnetic field. We clarify the physical origin of the screening effect and discuss its possible experimental realization in magnetic materials where magnetic fluctuations play the role of the dynamical axion field.

title: Pedodontists' Attitudes Toward Pit and Fissure Sealants as a Preventative Oral Service
Creators: name: Hamlin, Kathern Rheanice
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 1982

description: The purpose of this survey was to assess pedodontists' attitudes toward pit and fissure sealants as an oral health service. A self-designed, 43-item questionnaire and a letter of transmittal were mailed to a random sample of pedodontists belonging to the American Academy of Pedodontics (N=S00). Data were obtained from 288 returned questionnaires (58 percent).

Data analysis suggested that pedodontists' attitudes have changed over the past nine years in that: (1) more pedodontists are assigning a high value of pit and fissure sealants in preventing dental caries, (2) more pedodontists are using pit and fissure sealants to prevent dental caries, and (3) more auxiliaries are placing pit and fissure sealants. Findings also suggested that minor variations exist in usage of sealants among younger and older pedodontists, and pedodontists who practice in the northeast use sealants slightly more often than others.

description: While scientists have been monitoring the movements and diving behaviour of sea turtles using Argos Platform Terminal Transmitters for decades, the precise navigational mechanisms used by these animals remain an open question. Until now, active swimming motion has been derived from total motion by subtracting surface or subsurface modelled ocean currents, following the approximation of a quasi-two-dimensional surface layer migration. This study, based on tracking and diving data collected from 25 late-juvenile loggerhead turtles released from Reunion Island during their pre-reproductive migration, demonstrates the importance of considering the subsurface presence of the animals. Using a piecewise constant heading model, we investigate navigation strategy using daily time-at-depth distributions and three-dimensional currents to calculate swimming velocity. Our results are consistent with a map and compass strategy in which swimming movements follow straight courses at a stable swimming speed (approx. 0.5 ms−1), intermittently segmented by course corrections. This strategy, previously hypothesized for post-nesting green and hawksbill turtles, had never been observed in juvenile loggerheads. These results confirm a common open-ocean navigation mechanism across ages and species and highlight the importance of considering diving behaviour in most studies of sea turtle spatial ecology.

description: Objective: To validate various known risk factors of Parkinsonism and to establish basic information to present public health policy with 10-year follow-up cohort model.
Methods: This population based nation-wide study was performed in the republic of South Korea using the database of regular health check in 2003 and 2004 of National Health Insurance Database of reimbursement claim of Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service of South Korea with 10 years follow up.
Results: The authors identified 7,746 patients with Parkinsonism. The old age, hypertension, diabetes, depression, anxiety, taking statin medication, high body mass index, non-smoking, non-alcohol drinking and low socioeconomic status were each associated with increase in risk of Parkinsonism (fully adjusted Cox proportional hazards model: hazard ratio (HR) 1.259, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.194 to 1.328 for hypertension, HR 1.255, 95% CI 1.186 to 1.329 for diabetes, HR 1.554, 95% CI 1.664 to 1.965 for depression, HR 1.808, 95% CI 1.462 to 1.652 for anxiety, and HR 1.157, 95% CI 1.072 to 1.250 for taking statin).
Conclusions: In our study, old age, depression, anxiety, and nonsmoker were found to be risk factors of Parkinsonism, coincided with previous studies. However, gender, hypertension, diabetes, taking statin medication, non-alcohol drinking, and lower socioeconomic status differ from some previous studies and need to be verified in subsequent studies.

The Unruh Effect in General Boundary Quantum Field Theory

Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: In the framework of the general boundary formulation (GBF) of scalar quantum field theory we obtain a coincidence of expectation values of local observables in the Minkowski vacuum and in a particular state in Rindler space. This coincidence could be seen as a consequence of the identification of the Minkowski vacuum as a thermal state in Rindler space usually associated with the Unruh effect. However, we underline the difficulty in making this identification in the GBF. Beside the Feynman quantization prescription for observables that we use to derive the coincidence of expectation values, we investigate an alternative quantization prescription called Berezin-Toeplitz quantization prescription, and we find that the coincidence of expectation values does not exist for the latter.

description: Migration has affected a large number of children in many settings. Despite growing attention to these children, important gaps remain in our understanding of their psychosocial development, as well as the factors that mediate and moderate the impact of migration on children. The present study examines the influences of migration on children’s psychosocial well-being in China using a new nationally representative survey. We compared different groups of children age 3-15, including migrant children, left-behind children, and rural and urban children in nonmigrant families. Results show that rural children left behind by both parents were significantly worse off in psychological and behavioral well-being than rural nonmigrant children. By contrast, rural children left behind by one parent and migrant children were no worse off. The disadvantage of left-behind children was mediated by their caregivers' emotional well-being and parenting practices. Frequent contact with migrant parents, but not receipt of remittances, helped ameliorate the vulnerability of left-behind children. These results add to our understanding of how migration affects child development in general.

description: Background: A re-emergent tremor is suggested to be specific to Parkinson’s disease and although a tongue tremor has been reported in levosulpiride-induced parkinsonism (LIP), re-emergence has never been reported. Case Report: A 59-year-old female presented with a 3-month history of bradykinesia, 2-week history of right-leg tremor, and 10-day history of lip and tongue tremor. A review of the medication revealed a 15-month history of levosulpiride consumption. On examination, asymmetric bradykinesia, rigidity, rest tremor of the right leg, and re-emergent tongue tremor were observed. The parkinsonism subsided after levosulpiride was stopped. Discussion: This is the first report of re-emergent tongue tremor in LIP.

description: Importance
There have been only a few large-scale studies for risk factor analysis for CTS. No prior study has investigated the relationship between the occurrence of CTS and stratified socioeconomic status which is closely related to a person’s type of job.
Objective
To determine the correlation between stratified socioeconomic status and the occurrence of CTS.
Design
We conducted this study using a retrospective cohort model based on the combined databases of the Korean National Health Insurance System from 2003 to 2013; the national periodic health screening program database in 2002–2003 and health insurance database of reimbursement claims from 2003 through 2013.

Setting
The setting was a population-based retrospective cohort study.
Participants
First, we randomly sampled 514,795 patients who represented 10% of the 5,147,950 people who took part in periodic health screenings in 2002–2003. Existing CTS patients were excluded from this group. Therefore, this study finally included 512,942 participants and followed up their medical records from 2003 to 2013.
Main Outcomes and Measures
Desired outcomes were the incidence rate of CTS according to the stratified socioeconomic status and the correlation between the stratified socioeconomic status and the occurrence of the disease (the hazard ratios).
Results
The incidence rate was higher in people in the lower socioeconomic status. Correlation analysis showed that CTS was more likely to occur in lower socioeconomic status regardless gender.
Conclusions and Relevance
In our large-scale cohort study, CTS was associated with people of a lower socioeconomic status who usually work in simple but repetitive manual labor jobs in female as well as male population.
We believe that the results of our study will be helpful to determine the pathophysiology of CTS and to set up a new industrial health policy for this condition.
Monte-Carlo study of the electron transport properties of monolayer graphene within the tight-binding model

description: We study the effect of Coulomb interaction between charge carriers on the properties of graphene monolayer, assuming that the strength of the interaction is controlled by the dielectric permittivity of the substrate on which the graphene layer is placed. To this end we consider the tight-binding model on the hexagonal lattice coupled to the non-compact gauge field. The action of the latter is also discretized on the hexagonal lattice. Equilibrium ensembles of gauge field configurations are obtained using the Hybrid Monte-Carlo algorithm. Our numerical results indicate that at sufficiently strong coupling, that is, at sufficiently small substrate dielectric permittivities e<4, and at sufficiently small temperatures T<10^4 K the symmetry between simple sublattices of hexagonal lattice breaks down spontaneously and the low-frequency conductivity gradually decreases down to 20-30% of its weak-coupling value. On the other hand, in the weak-coupling regime (with e>4) the conductivity practically does not depend on e and is close to the universal value s=1/4.

description: Network performance measures usually focus on average throughput. We, however, were concerned with best-case behavior: how fast could a packet traverse the network if there were no contention for resources. By subtracting the path time to a node from the path time through the node, we were able to develop a simple best-case delay model. This model was sensitive enough to determine the board-level configuration of a router 750 miles away.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.During the summer IMARPE evaluates the abundance of anchoveta (Engraulis ringens) through acoustics method using the EK60 echosounder with 120 and 38 kHz, average 45 days. The advantage of evaluating the anchoveta in the summer permit to know the entire population due to the approach of this specie to the coastal zone caused by the intrusion of warm waters toward the coast. Introduction We analyzed 77 071 schools of anchoveta over 48 036 nautical miles in six acoustic surveys with similar design in the summers from 2003 to 2008. We compared the schools in five aspects: 1. positional (latitude, coastal distance, distance between schools, time); 2. morphological (height, width, area); 3. energy (NASC, level of compaction); 4. environmental (water mass, SST, SSO) and 5. biological (sizes).

description: Background and Purpose: We aimed to determine the differences in the pathophysiology of myocardial infarction (MI) and ischemic stroke (IS) and present their basic epidemiologic data for public health policy.

Methods: We included patients with a history of admission with diagnostic codes of MI and IS in the National Health Information Database (NHID) of the National Health Insurance Service (NHIS) Sample Cohort 2002-2013. We investigated the time to primary and secondary events, difference in incidence based on sex, time interval for the secondary event following the primary event in MI and IS, and the relative risk of recurrent events compared with that of primary events.

Results: The mean age of onset of IS was significantly higher than that of MI (65.67±12.25 vs. 60.4±13.07 years; P<0.05). The mean period from primary IS to secondary IS was significantly shorter than that from primary IS to secondary MI (2.09±2.80 vs. 5.35±2.90 years; P=0.016). The mean period from primary MI to secondary MI was significantly shorter than that from primary MI to secondary IS (2.30±2.75 vs. 5.16±3.26 years; P<0.001). The incidence of IS in men was significantly higher than that in women. The relative risk of recurrent IS and MI was greater than that of the primary event. In patients younger than 70 years, the incidence of MI was higher than that of IS, while in those above 70 years it was lower (P<0.05).

Conclusions: The age at onset, time to recurrence, sex, and relative risks are significantly different between ischemic stroke and myocardial infarction, suggesting that the underlying pathophysiologic mechanisms might be different between the two.

We numerically inverted the function $g(s)$, $s$ being the variable in Laplace space, to $G(v)$, where $v$ is the variable in ordinary space. We have since discovered that the algorithm does not work if $g(s)\rightarrow 0$ less rapidly than $1/s$ as $s\rightarrow\infty$, e.g., as $1/s^β$ for $0

Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)

description: In this paper we construct fully symmetric wavefunctions for the spin-polarized fractional Chern insulators (FCI) and time-reversal-invariant fractional topological insulators (FTI) in two dimensions using the parton approach. We show that the lattice symmetry gives rise to many different FCI and FTI phases even with the same filling fraction $ν$ (and the same quantized Hall conductance $σ_{xy}$ in FCI case). They have different symmetry-protected topological orders, which are characterized by different projective symmetry groups. We mainly focus on FCI phases which are realized in a partially filled band with Chern number one. The low-energy gauge groups of a generic $σ_{xy}=1/m\cdot e^2/h$ FCI wavefunctions can be either $SU(m)$ or the discrete group $Z_m$, and in the latter case the associated low-energy physics are described by Chern-Simons-Higgs theories. We use our construction to compute the ground state degeneracy. Examples of FCI/FTI wavefunctions on honeycomb lattice and checkerboard lattice are explicitly given. Possible non-Abelian FCI phases which may be realized in a partially filled band with Chern number two are discussed. Generic FTI wavefunctions in the absence of spin conservation are also presented whose low-energy gauge groups can be either $SU(m)\times SU(m)$ or $Z_m\times Z_m$. The constructed wavefunctions also set up the framework for future variational Monte Carlo simulations.

description: The drug development process is extensive and costly mainly due to the frequent disparity between the promising lead compounds pinpointed in laboratory conditions and their ability to generate analogous effects within living organisms. The domain of drug discovery is continually evolving, steered by a variety of creative methodologies and technological advancements like Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning, Immunotherapy, CRISPR Technology, Organoids and 3D Cultures, Drug Repurposing, Biological and Targeted Therapies, Biotechnology, Proteomics and Metabolomics, Microbiome Research, Drug Delivery Systems. Some of these innovative techniques such as Organoids and 3D cultures offer a biologically realistic foundation for evaluating potential drug candidates. Organoids are intricate three-dimensional tissue constructs that originate from stem cells and closely resemble the organization and functionality of particular human organs or tissues. Their value in drug discovery and advancement is substantial because they offer a more precise representation of human biology in contrast to conventional cell cultures or animal models. Recent studies have proven the successful application of organoids for identifying precision medicine for colorectal cancer, cystic fibrosis, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, and neurodegenerative disorders.

The ethnographic politics and poetics of photography, skin and race in the works of Yoko Tawada
Creators: name: Redlich, Jeremy
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: This dissertation is a literary studies analysis of select German-language prose, poetry and essays by the contemporary Japanese author Yoko Tawada. In this study I utilize and expand upon Tawada’s own concept of ‘fictive ethnology’ as a highly critical and self-reflexive literary approach that can be located throughout her texts. I argue that this fictive ethnological or counter-ethnographic literary technique is what directs the political charge behind Tawada’s poetics. My focus then is on how Tawada’s texts as cultural critiques undermine binary distinctions of ‘otherness’, destabilize the position and authority of the author/narrator representing the other, and reveal the ideology and power structures behind representing, constructing and classifying difference. Unlike the descriptive and textual model of ‘writing culture’ that engraves and freezes culture into words, Tawada’s fictive ethnological texts stress the fluid and performative dimension of culture and identity. Therefore, I also demonstrate how these texts are much more about inventing, rather than finding, the self, and about denaturalizing taken-for-granted assumptions about cultural, ethnic and racial differences that are anchored in essentialist, biological and binary logics. The core chapters of this study braid together representations of photography, skin and race and their variegated deployments in Tawada’s texts, and then explicate their ideological underpinnings. Photography, skin and race, as textual and visual representations, metaphors and themes, are fundamental to how Tawada’s protagonists are commodified and racialized as ethnographic objects; how they self-identify and are read by others according to restrictive cultural literacies; and how they are classified and made meaningful according to their bodies, especially when these bodies are seen as racially and ethnically marked. Yet, Tawada’s texts do not simply represent bodies and identities as they already are, but rather the processes, rituals, discourses and social practices that make them intelligible as raced, gendered, or ethnically marked beings. Each chapter therefore highlights, in connection to theories of gender and racial performativity, how Tawada’s texts convey the quotidian, repetitive and ritualistic performance of gendered, racial and ethnic identities, but also how these identities are transgressively (mis)performed against the script.

description: Searches for light charged Higgs bosons (H^\pm) in the decay of top quarks, t -> H^\pm b, are being carried out at the LHC and at the Tevatron. It is assumed that the dominant decay channels for such an H^\pm state are either H^\pm -> τνor H^\pm -> cs, and separate searches are performed with comparable sensitivity to the parameters m_{H^\pm} and tanbeta of the scalar potential. The branching ratio for the decay H^\pm -> cb can be as large as 80% in the Aligned Two Higgs Doublet Model and in models with three or more Higgs doublets with natural flavour conservation, while satisfying the constraint from b -> s gamma for m_{H^\pm} < m_t. Although the current search strategy for H^\pm -> cs is also sensitive to H^\pm -> cb, a considerable gain in sensitivity could be obtained by tagging the b quark from the decay H^\pm -> cb. Such an analysis, which could be readily performed at the Tevatron and in the 7 TeV and 8 TeV runs of the LHC, would probe a parameter space of the fermionic couplings of H^\pm in the above models which at present cannot be probed by experimental observables in flavour physics.

Estimating Change in Tremor Amplitude Using Clinical Ratings: Recommendations for Clinical Trials

description: Tremor rating scales are the standard method for assessing tremor severity and clinical change due to treatment or disease progression. However, ratings and their changes are difficult to interpret without knowing the relationship between ratings and tremor amplitude (displacement or angular rotation), and the computation of percentage change in ratings relative to baseline is misleading because of the ordinal nature of these scales. For example, a reduction in tremor from rating 2 to rating 1 (0–4 scale) should not be interpreted as a 50% reduction in tremor amplitude, nor should a reduction in rating 4 to rating 3 be interpreted as a 25% reduction in tremor. Studies from several laboratories have found a logarithmic relationship between tremor ratings R and tremor amplitude T, measured with a motion transducer: logT = α·R + β, where α ≈ 0.5, β ≈ –2, and log is base 10. This relationship is consistent with the Weber–Fechner law of psychophysics, and from this equation, the fractional change in tremor amplitude for a given change in clinical ratings is derived: (Tf−Ti)/Ti=10α(Rf−Ri)−1, where the subscripts i and f refer to the initial and final values. For a 0–4 scale and α = 0.5, a 1-point reduction in tremor ratings is roughly a 68% reduction in tremor amplitude, regardless of the baseline tremor rating (e.g., 2 or 4). Similarly, a 2-point reduction is roughly a 90% reduction in tremor amplitude. These Weber–Fechner equations should be used in clinical trials for computing and interpreting change in tremor, assessed with clinical ratings.

description: Financial technology (FinTech) has rapidly transformed the traditional financial services industry, offering new ways of accessing, managing and investing money. However, with these advancements come various legal challenges that require attention. This paper examines the intersection of FinTech and law, discussing the regulatory challenges and legal implications of disruptive financial technologies. The paper also explores the role of law in shaping the future of FinTech and ensuring compliance in a FinTech-driven economy. Additionally, the paper analyzes the legal frameworks and best practices regarding data privacy and security in FinTech and the emerging legal issues in the use of cryptocurrencies and digital assets. The study concludes that while FinTech provides numerous opportunities for the financial industry, legal considerations must be carefully evaluated to manage the associated risks and ensure sustainable growth.
The First-Order Theory of Ground Tree Rewrite Graphs

description: We prove that the complexity of the uniform first-order theory of ground tree rewrite graphs is in ATIME(2^{2^{poly(n)}},O(n)). Providing a matching lower bound, we show that there is some fixed ground tree rewrite graph whose first-order theory is hard for ATIME(2^{2^{poly(n)}},poly(n)) with respect to logspace reductions. Finally, we prove that there exists a fixed ground tree rewrite graph together with a single unary predicate in form of a regular tree language such that the resulting structure has a non-elementary first-order theory.

description: This is the report on a workshop held at CMU on July 12-14, 2005. The workshop is part of the planning process initiated by NSF to explore potential architectures for a next generation secure network designed to meet the needs of the 21st century. In considering future architectures, we ignore issues of backward compatibility with the current Internet but seek to benefit from the experience gained by analyzing both the strengths and weaknesses of the current design. Specifically, this workshop looks at the fundamental interplay between security and underlying network architecture and seeks to chart a preliminary course for future work in this crucial research area. This workshop focused on initiating a productive dialog between experts from the network security and network architecture communities. The agenda was arranged to stimulate initial consideration of the security goals for a new Internet, the design space of possible solutions, how research in security and network architecture could be integrated so that security is included as a first-tier objective in future architectures, and to explore methods for identifying and considering the social consequences of these architecture and security design choices.

description: On April 1, 2015, Professor Hansun Waring’s doctoral seminar had the great pleasure and honor of being joined over Skype by Dr. Hugh (Bud) Mehan, Professor Emeritus at the University of California, San Diego and author of the 1979 classic Learning Lesson: Social Organization in the Classroom. Dr. Mehan has done extensive research on classroom organization and interaction, educational testing, tracking and untracking, construction of student identities in the classroom, and so on. He has managed to achieve the delicate and yet crucial balance that so many educators and education researchers aspire to—the balance between doing research and improving the world. He has not only shaped the academic discourse on education issues but has been directly working with the most vulnerable members of our society in overcoming and amending those issues. His work has been an inspiration to so many of us whose research passions and real-life concerns lie in education, classroom interaction, and social inequity.

The Skype meeting was proposed as a continuation of conversation inspired by Dr. Mehan’s invigorating invited lecture at the 4th Annual LANSI Conference at Teachers College in October 2014. Members of Dr. Waring’s Spring 2015 seminar (Nancy Boblett, Catherine Box, Sarah Creider, Donna Delprete, Rong Rong Le, Heidi Liu, Carol Lo, Saerhim Oh, Elizabeth Reddington, Gahye Song, Nadja Tadic, Junko Takahashi, and Di Yu) compiled a list of questions for Dr. Mehan in advance and asked follow-up questions to his responses during the meeting. We are very pleased to share with our journal readers a transcript of our conversation, and we hope you will find his words as inspiring and illuminating as we have.

description: On February 6, 2014, the TESOL/AL Web Journal (represented by Nadja Tadic, Di Yu, and Yuna Seong) had the opportunity to sit down with Professor James Paul Gee, guest speaker for the 2015 Applied Linguistics & Language Education (APPLE) Lecture Series, hosted annually by the TESOL/Applied Linguistics Programs at Teachers College, Columbia University. Professor Gee spoke about his thoughts on his work and advice for current and future researchers in the TESOL and Applied Linguistics fields.

Professor Gee is the Mary Lou Fulton Presidential Professor of Literacy Studies and Regents’ Professor at Arizona State University. He is also a member of the National Academy of Education. His book Sociolinguistics and Literacies (1990, Fifth Edition 2015) was one of the founding documents in the formation of the “New Literacy Studies,” an interdisciplinary field integrating language, learning, and literacy. His book An Introduction to Discourse Analysis (1999, Fourth Edition 2014) brings together his work on a methodology for studying communication in its cultural settings. More recently, his books deal with video games, language, and learning. His books What Video Games Have to Teach Us About Learning and Literacy (2003, Second Edition 2007) and Situated Language and Learning (2004) discuss how good video games can enhance learning. Professor Gee has published widely in journals in linguistics, psychology, the social sciences, and education. We thank Professor Gee for his time in a very thought-provoking interview. We also thank Fred Tsutagawa for videotaping and Dr. Kirby Grabowski for coordinating the APPLE Lecture Series Interview.

description: Stars can be treated as self-gravitating fluid. Krori and Barua (1975) gave an analytical solutions to that kind of fluids. In this connection, we propose a de-Sitter model for an anisotropic strange star with the Krori-Barua spacetime. We incorporate the existence of cosmological constant in a small scale to study the structure of anisotropic strange stars and come to conclusion that this doping is very much compatible with the well known physical features of strange stars.
