description: A robust prediction model invoking the Takens embedding theorem, whose \textit{working hypothesis} is obtained via an inference procedure based on the minimum Fisher information principle, is presented. The coefficients of the ansatz, central to the \textit{working hypothesis} satisfy a time independent Schrödinger-like equation in a vector setting. The inference of i) the probability density function of the coefficients of the \textit{working hypothesis} and ii) the establishing of constraint driven pseudo-inverse condition for the modeling phase of the prediction scheme, is made, for the case of normal distributions, with the aid of the quantum mechanical virial theorem. The well-known reciprocity relations and the associated Legendre transform structure for the Fisher information measure (FIM, hereafter)-based model in a vector setting (with least square constraints) are self-consistently derived. These relations are demonstrated to yield an intriguing form of the FIM for the modeling phase, which defines the \textit{working hypothesis}, solely in terms of the observed data. Cases for prediction employing time series' obtained from the: $(i)$ the Mackey-Glass delay-differential equation, $(ii)$ one ECG sample from the MIT-Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital (MIT-BIH) cardiac arrhythmia database, and $(iii)$ one ECG from the Creighton University ventricular tachyarrhythmia database. The ECG samples were obtained from the Physionet online repository. These examples demonstrate the efficiency of the prediction model. Numerical examples for exemplary cases are provided.

description: We investigate the critical behaviors of correlation length and critical exponents for strongly interacting bosons in a two-dimensional optical lattice via quantum Monte Carlo simulations. By comparing the full numerical results to those given by the effective theory, we quantitatively determine the critical regime where the universal scaling behaviors applies for both classical Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless transition at a finite temperature and quantum phase transition from superfluid to Mott insulator. Our results show that the critical regime can be as large as a few lattice sites in optical lattice and should be observable in present experimental conditions.

description: The theoretical understanding of the nematic state of iron-based superconductors and especially of FeSe is still a puzzling problem. Although a number of experiments calls for a prominent role of local correlations and place iron superconductors at the entrance of a Hund metal state, the effect of the electronic correlations on the nematic state has been theoretically poorly investigated. In this work we study the nematic phase of iron superconductors accounting for local correlations, including the effect of the Hund's coupling. We show that Hund's physics strongly affects the nematic properties of the system. It severely constraints the precise nature of the feasible orbital-ordered state and induces a differentiation in the effective masses of the zx=yz orbitals in the nematic phase. The latter effect leads to distinctive signatures in different experimental probes, so far overlooked in the interpretation of experiments. As notable examples the splittings between zx and yz bands at Gamma and M points are modified, with important consequences for ARPES measurements.

description: Der demografische Wandel wird das Gesundheitswesen in naher Zukunft vor grosse Herausforderungen stellen. Einerseits werden Tausende Fachkräfte aufgrund der Schweizer Altersstruktur in den nächsten Jahren fehlen. Andererseits erhöht sich mit der zunehmenden Lebenserwartung der Gesellschaft auch der Pflegebedarf der Schweizer:innen. Hinzu kommen die besonders belastenden Arbeitsbedingungen im Gesundheitswesen, die sich in erhöhten Krankheitskennzahlen manifestieren und Ausfälle sowie Fluktuationen verursachen. Um in Zukunft die talentierten Nachwuchskräfte der neuen Generationen mit veränderten Werte- und Normvorstellungen anzuziehen und gewinnen zu können, müssen sich Unternehmen im Gesundheitswesen mit sich als Arbeitgeber:inmarke auseinandersetzen. Die vorliegende Studie untersucht, wie der grösste Zentralschweizer Arbeitgeber mit diesen herausfordernden Gegebenheiten umgeht. Mittels qualitativen Interviews (N=16) wird untersucht, welche Faktoren die wahrgenommene Attraktivität des Pflegeberufes am Luzerner Kantonsspital beeinflussen. Ebenfalls Teil der Studie sind mögliche Auswirkungen der Einführung von New Work-Ansätzen auf die Anziehungskraft des Pflegeberufes. Aus den Ergebnissen geht hervor, dass die diplomierten Pflegefachpersonen insbesondere die Tätigkeitsmerkmale Ganzheitlichkeit, Selbstbestimmung, Sinnhaftigkeit sowie die Zusammenarbeit als entscheidend für die wahrgenommene Attraktivität beurteilen. Die Meinung zur Einführung von New Work Ansätzen ist gespalten, allerdings ist eine Tendenz zu beobachten, dass damit möglicherweise eine Attraktivitätssteigerung herbeigeführt werden kann. Hinsichtlich der Themen Aufgabenvielfalt und Feedback konnten Differenzen zwischen den Generationen festgestellt werden.

description: In natural and social science, many events happened at different space-times may be closely correlated. Two events, $A$ (Alice) and $B$ (Bob) are defined correlated if one event is determined by another, say, $B=\hat{f}A$ for suitable $\hat{f}$ operators. Taking KdV and coupled KdV systems as examples, we can find some types of models (AB-KdV systems) to exhibit the existence on the correlated solutions linked with two events. The idea of this report is valid not only for physical problems related to KdV systems but also for problems described by arbitrary continuous or discrete models. The parity and time reversal symmetries are extended to shifted parity and delayed time reversal. The new symmetries are found to be useful not only to establish AB-systems but also to find group invariant solutions of numerous AB-systems. A new elegant form of the $N$-soliton solutions of the KdV equation and then the AB-KdV systems is obtained. A concrete AB-KdV system derived from the nonlinear inviscid dissipative and barotropic vorticity equation in a $β$-plane channel is applied to the two correlated monople blocking events which is responsible for the snow disaster in the winter of 2007/2008 happened in Southern China.

description: We present the results of the simultaneous observation of the giant radio pulses (GRPs) from the Crab pulsar at 0.3, 1.6, 2.2, 6.7, and 8.4 GHz with four telescopes in Japan. We obtain 3194 and 272 GRPs occurring at the main pulse and the interpulse phases, respectively. A few GRPs detected at both 0.3 and 8.4 GHz are the most wide-band samples ever reported. In the frequency range from 0.3 to 2.2 GHz, we find that about 70\% or more of the GRP spectra are consistent with single power laws and the spectral indices of them are distributed from $-4$ to $-1$. We also find that a significant number of GRPs have such a hard spectral index (approximately $-1$) that the fluence at 0.3 GHz is below the detection limit ("dim-hard" GRPs). Stacking light curves of such dim-hard GRPs at 0.3 GHz, we detect consistent enhancement compared to the off-GRP light curve. Our samples show apparent correlations between the fluences and the spectral hardness, which indicates that more energetic GRPs tend to show softer spectra. Our comprehensive studies on the GRP spectra are useful materials to verify the GRP model of fast radio bursts in future observations.

Evolving Planck Mass in Classically Scale-Invariant Theories

description: We consider classically scale-invariant theories with non-minimally coupled scalar fields, where the Planck mass and the hierarchy of physical scales are dynamically generated. The classical theories possess a fixed point, where scale invariance is spontaneously broken. In these theories, however, the Planck mass becomes unstable in the presence of explicit sources of scale invariance breaking, such as non-relativistic matter and cosmological constant terms. We quantify the constraints on such classical models from Big Bang Nucleosynthesis that lead to an upper bound on the non-minimal coupling and require trans-Planckian field values. We show that quantum corrections to the scalar potential can stabilise the fixed point close to the minimum of the Coleman-Weinberg potential. The time-averaged motion of the evolving fixed point is strongly suppressed, thus the limits on the evolving gravitational constant from Big Bang Nucleosynthesis and other measurements do not presently constrain this class of theories. Field oscillations around the fixed point, if not damped, contribute to the dark matter density of the Universe.

description: Biological treatment of cereal straw for ruminant nutrition purposes might present an environmentally friendly option of valorizing a widely available by-product of grain production for farming systems with low external input. Several strains of white-rot fungi have been selected in the past under mostly controlled laboratory conditions for their capacity of lignin degradation. The study adapted to conditions on farm for upscaling purposes. The development of the in vitro straw digestibility with two different moistening pre-treatments and inoculated with three different fungi species, namely Pleurotus ostreatus, Ceriporiopsis subvermispora and Volvariella volvacea, was determined up to 42 days of fermentation with five sampling times. The effect of physical straw pre-treatments on nutritional parameters was evaluated. The neutral detergent fiber digestibility (NDFD30h), enzymatically soluble organic substance (ELOS) and the gas production (Hohenheim Feed value Test, HFT) as indicators for in vitro ruminal degradability decreased over time independent of the fungus: HFT, ELOS and NDFD30h by up to 50, 35 and 30% of the original straw. Remoistening and autoclaving the straw increased the gas production significantly by 2.6 mL/200 g dry matter (DM), and ELOS and NDFD30h by 45 and 51 g/kg DM compared to the original straw (34.9 mL/200 mg DM, 342 g/kg DM, 313 g/kg NDF).

description: Two-species condensing zero range processes (ZRPs) are interacting particle systems with two species of particles and zero range interaction exhibiting phase separation outside a domain of sub-critical densities. We prove the hydrodynamic limit of nearest neighbour mean zero two-species condensing zero range processes with bounded local jump rate for sub-critical initial profiles, i.e., for initial profiles whose image is contained in the region of sub-critical densities. The proof is based on H. T. Yau's relative entropy method, which relies on the existence of sufficiently regular solutions to the hydrodynamic equation. In the particular case of the species-blind ZRP, we prove that the solutions of the hydrodynamic equation exist globally in time and thus the hydrodynamic limit is valid for all times.

Soft hairs on isolated horizon implanted by electromagnetic fields

description: Inspired by the recent proposal of soft hair on black holes in Phys. Rev. Lett. 116, 231301 (2016), we have shown that an isolated horizon carries soft hairs implanted by electromagnetic fields. The solution space and the asymptotic symmetries of Einstein-Maxwell theory have been worked out explicitly near isolated horizon. The conserved current has been computed and an infinite number of near horizon charges have been introduced from the electromagnetic fields associated to the asymptotic $U(1)$ symmetry near the horizon, which indicates the fact that isolated horizon carries a large amount of soft electric hairs. The soft electric hairs, i.e. asymptotic $U(1)$ charges, are shown to be equivalent to the electric multipole moments of isolated horizons. It is further argued that the isolated horizon supertranslation is from the ambiguity of its foliation and an analogue of memory effect on horizon can be expected.

Market structure and its impact on profitability performance of banking firms: A Case of Private Commercial Banking Sector in Ethiopia
Creators: name: Abdulwali, Mohammed
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2018

description: This paper has investigated the impact of market structure onprofitability performance of Ethiopian private commercial banking firms. The impact of market structure on profitability performance of banks was studied based on the traditional structure-performance hypothesis (SCP) and the efficient-structure hypothesis that explains a positive correlation between profitability and market structure. A panel data of selected eightprivate commercial banks financial statement is used covering the period between 2008/9 up to 2016/17 G.C. The study employed an Ordinary Least Square regression analysis to test the impact of market structure variables (concentrations, market share)and bank specific variables (efficiency, banks size, bank risk, loan portfolio, Age) on profitability performance of banks. The regression test results confirm the significance of concentration and market share to profitability performance of banks. Efficiency, bank size, bank risk, and loan portfoliowere among the factors to alter the profitability performance of banks, whereas Age is found to be the only variable which has negative and insignificant impact on bank profitability.The study findingconfirms that traditional structure conduct performance argument did held in the commercial banking industry in Ethiopia for the period 2008/9-2016/17 G.C. Since market structure have a significant impact on banks profitability, the management body of banks should have to pay greater attention to expand their market share and they must improve their efficiency.

description: We consider the 2+1 dimensional massive Thirring model with one flavor at finite density. Two numerical methods, fermion bag approach and complex Langevin dynamics, are used to calculate the chiral condensate and fermion density of this model. The numerical results obtained by fermion bag approach are compared with those obtained by complex Langevin dynamics. They are also compared with those obtained under phase quenched approximation. We show that in some range of fermion coupling strength and chemical potential the sign problem in fermion bag approach is mild, while it becomes severe for the complex Langevin dynamics.

description: We consider quasi-two-dimensional gas of electrons in a typical Si-MOSFET, assuming repulsive contact interaction between electrons. Magnetisation and susceptibility are evaluated within the mean-field approach. Finite thickness of the inversion layer results in an interaction-induced electron wave function change, not found in both purely two-dimensional and three-dimensional (bulk) cases. Taking this self-consistent change into account leads to an increased susceptibility and ultimately to a ferromagnetic transition deep in the high-density metallic regime. We further find that in the paramagnetic state, magnetisation increases sublinearly with increasing in-plane magnetic field. In the opposite limit of low carrier densities, the effects of long-range interaction become important and can be included phenomenologically via bandwidth renormalisation. Our treatment then suggests that with decreasing density, the metal-insulator transition is preceded by a ferromagnetic instability. Results are discussed in the context of the available experimental data, and arguments for the validity of our mean-field scheme are presented.

description: Background: Although evidence suggests relationships between some crude oil components and glycemic dysregulation, no studies have examined oil spill-related chemical exposures in relation to type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) risk. This study examined the relationship between total hydrocarbon (THC) exposure among workers involved in the 2010 Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil spill and risk of DM up to 6 years afterward. Methods: Participants comprised 2660 oil-spill cleanup or response workers in the prospective GuLF Study who completed a clinical exam and had no self-reported DM diagnosis prior to the spill. Maximum THC exposure was estimated with a job-exposure matrix based on interview data and personal measurements taken during cleanup operations. We defined incident DM by self-reported physician diagnosis of DM, antidiabetic medication use, or a measured hemoglobin A1c value ≥ 6.5%. We used log binomial regression to estimate risk ratios (RRs) for DM across ordinal categories of THC exposure. The fully adjusted model controlled for age, sex, race/ethnicity, education, employment status, and health insurance status. We also stratified on clinical body mass index categories. Results: We observed an exposure-response relationship between maximum daily ordinal THC exposure level and incident DM, especially among overweight participants. RRs among overweight participants were 0.99 (95% CI: 0.37, 2.69), 1.46 (95% CI: 0.54, 3.92), and 2.11 (95% CI: 0.78, 5.74) for exposure categories 0.30–0.99 ppm, 1.00–2.99 ppm, and ≥3.00 ppm, respectively (ptrend = 0.03). Conclusion: We observed suggestively increasing DM risk with increasing THC exposure level among overweight participants, but not among normal weight or obese participants.

description: The role of the contralateral cerebral cortical plasticity in functional recovery after cerebral infarction is controversial. To clarify this role, we made a second contralateral cortical infarction after recovery from the first cerebral infarction. To produce the first infarction, Wistar rats were intravenously injected with Rose Bengal to the sensorimotor area of the right hemisphere of the cerebral cortex under green-light irradiation. Two weeks after the first hemiplegia, a secondary infarction was induced in the left cerebral cortex. Functional recovery was evaluated in a beam-walking test. Hemiplegia observed 1 day after both the first and second infarctions was given a score of 1. At 14 days after the first infarction, the average recovery score (± standard error) was 6.8 ± 0.1. In contrast, functional recovery was slower after the second infarction, reaching an average score of only 3.5 ± 0.5 after 14 days. Therefore, recovery after the contralateral secondary infarction was slower than that from the first, and received a lower recovery score compared to the recovery after the first infarction. These results suggest that the undamaged contralateral cortex plays an important role in motor recovery after hemiplegia caused by cerebral infarction.

description: Background: Population-based seroprevalence studies are crucial to understand community transmission of COVID-19 and guide responses to the pandemic. Seroprevalence is typically measured from diagnostic tests with imperfect sensitivity and specificity. Failing to account for measurement error can lead to biased estimates of seroprevalence. Methods to adjust seroprevalence estimates for the sensitivity and specificity of the diagnostic test have largely focused on estimation in the context of convenience sampling. Many existing methods are inappropriate when data are collected using a complex sample design. Methods: We present methods for seroprevalence point estimation and confidence interval construction that account for imperfect test performance for use with complex sample data. We apply these methods to data from the Chatham County COVID-19 Cohort (C4), a longitudinal seroprevalence study conducted in central North Carolina. Using simulations, we evaluate bias and confidence interval coverage for the proposed estimator compared with a standard estimator under a stratified, three-stage cluster sample design. Results: We obtained estimates of seroprevalence and corresponding confidence intervals for the C4 study. SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence increased rapidly from 10.4% in January to 95.6% in July 2021 in Chatham County, North Carolina. In simulation, the proposed estimator demonstrates desirable confidence interval coverage and minimal bias under a wide range of scenarios. Conclusion: We propose a straightforward method for producing valid estimates and confidence intervals when data are based on a complex sample design. The method can be applied to estimate the prevalence of other infections when estimates of test sensitivity and specificity are available.

description: The construction of nonlocal sets of quantum states has attracted much attention in recent years. We first introduce two Lemmas related to the triviality of orthogonality-preserving local measurements. Then we propose a general construction of nonlocal set of $n(d-1)+1$ orthogonal product states in $(\mathbb{C}^{d})^{\otimes n}$. The sets of nonlocal orthogonal product states are also put forward for the multipartite quantum systems with arbitrary dimensions. Our novel construction gives rise to nonlocal sets of orthogonal product states with much less members and thus reveals the phenomenon of nonlocality without entanglement more efficiently.

THE UNIQUE PROPERTIES OF DIETARY MUSHROOMS AND THEIR EFFECTS ON CARDIOMETABOLIC DISEASE RISK FACTORS IN ADULTS

description: Mushrooms, unique edible fungi, contain several essential nutrients and bioactive compounds including L-ergothioneine, beta-glucans, and lovastatin, which may improve cardiometabolic health through their anti-inflammatory, cholesterol-lowering, and antioxidant properties, respectively. Despite a long history of consumption, the chemical composition and health benefits of mushrooms are not well documented. Research included in this dissertation aims to document the unique properties of dietary mushrooms and their effects on cardiometabolic disease risk factors in middle-aged and older adults. Thematically, this research describes mushrooms from a nutrient, food, and dietary pattern perspective. Using untargeted liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC/MS)-based metabolomics, we detected over 10,000 compounds in seven mushroom varieties, each sourced from two farms (3 replicates/farm). Over 1,300 compounds were detected in all seven mushroom varieties, supporting some level of similarity. In contrast, each variety had tens-to-hundreds of unique-to-mushroom variety compounds, ranging from 29 for crimini to 854 for lion’s mane. Amino acid analysis revealed Agaricus bisporus varieties (white button, crimini, portabella) had similar amino acid profiles, including detection of all nine essential amino acids, while other varieties (lion’s mane, maitake, oyster, shiitake) had less methionine and tryptophan. Collectively, these findings highlight not all mushrooms are chemically comparable. From a food/dietary pattern perspective, experimental evidence from a systematically searched literature review indicate greater mushroom consumption reduces blood triglycerides and hs-CRP. Evidence from observational research indicate mixed, albeit neutral to positive, associations between mushroom consumption and most cardiometabolic health outcomes. Results from our randomized controlled trial indicate adoption of a healthy dietary pattern with mushrooms improves fasting blood glucose and dense LDL III. Adoption of a healthy dietary pattern, independent of mushroom consumption, improves total cholesterol and non-LDL cholesterol. Results from the research presented in this dissertation confirm mushrooms are nutritionally unique and may improve several risk factors for cardiometabolic diseases with regular consumption.

description: Introduction: Prenatal exposure to organophosphorus pesticides (OPPs) has been associated with neurodevelopmental deficits in children, however evidence linking OPPs with specific cognitive mechanisms, such as executive function (EF), is limited. Objective: This study aims to evaluate the association between prenatal exposure to OPPs with multiple measures of EF in preschool-aged children, while considering the role of variant alleles in OPP metabolism genes. Methods: We included 262 children with preschool attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and 78 typically developing children, from the Preschool ADHD substudy of the Norwegian, Mother, Father, and Child Cohort Study. Participants who gave birth between 2004 and 2008 were invited to participate in an on-site clinical assessment when the child was approximately 3.5 years; measurements of EF included parent and teacher rating on Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function-Preschool (BRIEF-P), and three performance-based assessments. We measured OPP metabolites in maternal urines collected at ∼17 weeks' gestation to calculate total dimethyl- (ΣDMP) and diethyl phosphate (ΣDEP) metabolite concentrations. We estimated multivariable adjusted β′s and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) corresponding to a change in z-score per unit increase in log-ΣDMP/DEP. We further characterized gene-OPP interactions for maternal variants in PON1 (Q192R, M55L), CYP1A2 (1548T > C), CYP1A1 (IntG > A) and CYP2A6 (-47A > C). Results: Prenatal OPP metabolite concentrations were associated with worse parent and teacher ratings of emotional control, inhibition, and working memory. A one log-∑DMP increase was associated with poorer teacher ratings of EF on the BRIEF-P (e.g. emotional control domain: β = 0.55, 95% CI: 0.35, 0.74), when weighted to account for sampling procedures. We found less consistent associations with performance-based EF assessments. We found some evidence of modification for PON1 Q192R and CYP2A6 -47A > C. Association with other variants were inconsistent. Conclusions: Biomarkers of prenatal OPP exposure were associated with more adverse teacher and parent ratings of EF in preschool-aged children.

description: A central goal of chemical and drug delivery sciences is to maximize the therapeutic efficacy of a given drug at the lowest possible dose. Here, we report a generalizable strategy that can be utilized to improve the delivery of mRNA drugs using lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), the clinically approved chemistry platforms utilized in the Moderna and Pfizer/BioNTech COVID-19 vaccines. In brief, our strategy updates the chemistry of LNPs to incorporate adenosine triphosphate (ATP) alongside mRNA, a modification that results in upward of a 79-fold increase in LNP-delivered mRNA-encoded protein expression in vitro and a 24-fold increase in vivo when compared to parent mRNA LNP formulations that do not contain ATP. Notably, we find that our ATP co-delivery strategy increases LNP-delivered mRNA-encoded protein expression across eight different LNP chemistries and three different cell lines, under normoxia and hypoxia, and in a well-tolerated fashion. Notably, our strategy also improves the expression of mRNA encoding for intracellular and secreted proteins both in vitro and in vivo, highlighting the utility of leveraging ATP co-delivery within mRNA LNPs as a means to increase protein expression. In developing this strategy, we hope that we have provided a simple yet powerful approach to improving mRNA LNPs that may one day be useful in developing therapies for human disease.
