description: To evaluate the frequency of EMS protocol non-adherence during pediatric asthma encounters and its association with emergency department (ED) length of stay (LOS) and hospital admission. This is a retrospective review of asthma encounters aged 2–17 years transported by EMS to a pediatric ED from 2012 to 2017. Our primary outcome was hospital admission based on prehospital protocol adherence defined as: (1) bronchodilator administration, (2) treatment of hypoxia with oxygen, or (3) administration of intramuscular (IM) epinephrine in encounters with high severity of distress. Multivariable logistic regression estimated the association between protocol non-adherence and hospital admission. During the study period, 290 EMS encounters met inclusion criteria. Median age was 9 years (IQR 5–12), 63% were male, 40% had moderate to severe exacerbations, and 24% were admitted. Protocol non-adherence occurred in 32% of encounters with failure to administer bronchodilators in 27% and failure to administer IM epinephrine when indicated in 83%. Prehospital steroids were administered in 8% of encounters. After adjusting for covariates, protocol non-adherence was not statistically associated with likelihood of inpatient admission (OR 1.3; 95% CI: 0.6–2.6). Among prehospital pediatric asthma encounters, EMS protocol non-adherence is common but not associated with a higher frequency of hospital admission. Hospital admission was associated with acute exacerbation severity suggesting further research is needed to develop a valid prehospital asthma severity assessment scoring tool.

description: Models of rational addiction suggest that obesity is consistent with time-consistent preferences. Behavioral economists maintain that addictions such as alcoholism, smoking and over-eating represent examples of present-bias in decision making that is fundamentally irrational. In this article, conduct an experiment to test whether individual discount schedules are time-consistent and whether discount rates are higher for subjects who exhibit patterns of risky behavior. Our results show that discount functions are quasi-hyperbolic in shape, and that obesity and drinking are positively related to the discount rate. Anti-obesity policy, therefore, would be best directed to informing individuals as to the long-term implications of short-term gratification, rather than taxing foods directly

 Phylladiorhynchus triginta Schnabel & Ahyong, 2019: 339, figs. 12, 14.
 Phylladiorhynchus integrirostris.— Ahyong, 2007: 42, fig. 21.
 Diagnosis (modified from Schnabel & Ahyong 2019). Rostrum lateral margins distinctly convex; subapical spines minute. Carapace with 2 epigastric spines; anterior branchial margin with 3 spines; metagastric ridge between third branchial marginal spines interrupted medially; anterior branchial margin with 3 spines; hepatic spine present. Anterior upper margin of pterygostomian flap usually smooth. Pleonal tergite 3 without posterior transverse ridge. Thoracic sternite 3 moderately broad, anterior margin biconcave, with obtuse median projection. Antennular article 1 with 5 spines: distomesial spine large; second lateral spine long, slender. Antennal article 1 mesial process falling well short of second lateral antennular spine; article 2 distolateral and distomesial spines well developed, subequal in length; article 3 with small to minute distomesial spine, distolaterally unarmed. Maxilliped 3 merus with 1 prominent spine on flexor margin. P2–4 dactylus extensor margin without upright spines at bases of movable spines.
 Genetic data. COI, Table 1.
 Distribution. Tasman Sea, Lord Howe Island, Middleton Reef and Norfolk Island at 10–84 m (Schnabel & Ahyong 2019).
 Remarks. The species belongs to the group of species with 2 epigastric spines, hepatic margin armed with 1 small spine and 3 spines along the anterior branchial margin. The closest relative is P. talaus, from Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, and Western Australia. The two species can be differentiated by the following characters:
 - The rostrum has well-developed subapical spines in P. talaus, whereas these spines are minute in P. triginta.
 - Thoracic sternite 3 is quadrangular (less than twice wider than long) in P. talaus, compared to moderately broad (twice as wide as long) in P. triginta.
 The genetic divergence between P. triginta and P. talaus is very high, 27% (COI).

description: We study a natural conjecture regarding ferromagnetic ordering of energy levels in the Heisenberg model which complements the Lieb-Mattis Theorem of 1962 for antiferromagnets: for ferromagnetic Heisenberg models the lowest energies in each subspace of fixed total spin are strictly ordered according to the total spin, with the lowest, i.e., the ground state, belonging to the maximal total spin subspace. Our main result is a proof of this conjecture for the spin-1/2 Heisenberg XXX and XXZ ferromagnets in one dimension. Our proof has two main ingredients. The first is an extension of a result of Koma and Nachtergaele which shows that monotonicity as a function of the total spin follows from the monotonicity of the ground state energy in each total spin subspace as a function of the length of the chain. For the second part of the proof we use the Temperley-Lieb algebra to calculate, in a suitable basis, the matrix elements of the Hamiltonian restricted to each subspace of the highest weight vectors with a given total spin. We then show that the positivity properties of these matrix elements imply the necessary monotonicity in the volume. Our method also shows that the first excited state of the XXX ferromagnet on any finite tree has one less than maximal total spin.

description: In bipartite networks, community structures are restricted to being disassortative, in that nodes of one type are grouped according to common patterns of connection with nodes of the other type. This makes the stochastic block model (SBM), a highly flexible generative model for networks with block structure, an intuitive choice for bipartite community detection. However, typical formulations of the SBM do not make use of the special structure of bipartite networks. Here we introduce a Bayesian nonparametric formulation of the SBM and a corresponding algorithm to efficiently find communities in bipartite networks which parsimoniously chooses the number of communities. The biSBM improves community detection results over general SBMs when data are noisy, improves the model resolution limit by a factor of $\sqrt{2}$, and expands our understanding of the complicated optimization landscape associated with community detection tasks. A direct comparison of certain terms of the prior distributions in the biSBM and a related high-resolution hierarchical SBM also reveals a counterintuitive regime of community detection problems, populated by smaller and sparser networks, where nonhierarchical models outperform their more flexible counterpart.

description: Objective: Asthma is a heterogeneous disease with varying clinical presentations, severity and ability to achieve asthma control. The present study aimed to characterize clinical phenotypes of asthma in an Indian cohort of subjects using a cluster analysis approach. Methods: Patients with confirmed asthma (N = 100) and at least 6-months of follow-up data, identified by retrospective chart review, were included in this study. Demographics, age at disease onset, disease duration, body mass index, serial spirometry and allergen sensitization were assessed. Asthma control was assessed prospectively using Global Initiative for Asthma and Asthma Control Test. R version 3.4.3 was used for statistical analysis. Ward’s minimum-variance hierarchical clustering method was performed using an agglomerative (bottom-up) approach. To compare differences between clusters, analysis of variance using Kruskal-Wallis test (continuous variables) and chi-square test (categorical variables) was used. Results: Cluster analysis of 100 treatment-naive patients with asthma identified four clusters. Cluster 1, (N = 40), childhood onset of disease, normal body weight, equal gender distribution and achieved normal lung function. Cluster 2 (N = 16) included adolescent disease-onset, obese, majority males and had poor attainment of maximum lung functions. Cluster 3 (N = 20) were older, late-onset of disease, obese, majority male and had poor attainment of maximum lung function. Cluster 4 (N = 24) had adult-onset of disease, obese, predominantly female and achieved normal lung function. Conclusions: In an Indian cohort of well-characterized patients with asthma, cluster analysis identified four distinct clinical phenotypes of asthma, two of which had poor attainment of maximum lung functions.

description: Accurate segmentation of lesions can provide strong evidence for early skin cancer diagnosis by doctors, enabling timely treatment of patients and effectively reducing cancer mortality rates. In recent years, some deep learning models have utilized complex modules to improve their performance for skin disease image segmentation. However, limited computational resources have hindered their practical application in clinical environments. To address this challenge, this paper proposes a lightweight model, named GSCEU-Net, which is able to achieve superior skin lesion segmentation performance at a lower cost. GSCEU-Net is based on the U-Net architecture with additional enhancements. Firstly, the partial convolution (PConv) module, proposed by the FasterNet model, is modified to an SConv module, which enables channel segmentation paths of different scales. Secondly, a newly designed Ghost SConv (GSC) module is proposed for incorporation into the model’s backbone, where the Separate Convolution (SConv) module is aided by a Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) and the output path residuals from the Ghost module. Finally, the Efficient Channel Attention (ECA) mechanism is incorporated at different levels into the decoding part of the model. The segmentation performance of the proposed model is evaluated on two public datasets (ISIC2018 and PH2) and a private dataset. Compared to U-Net, the proposed model achieves an IoU improvement of 0.0261 points and a DSC improvement of 0.0164 points, while reducing the parameter count by 190 times and the computational complexity by 170 times. Compared to other existing segmentation models, the proposed GSCEU-Net model also demonstrates superiority, along with an advanced balance between the number of parameters, complexity, and segmentation performance.

description: With the $Karl~G.~Jansky$ Very Large Array (VLA) in C-configuration, we observed a large portion of the first Galactic quadrant ($l=14.0-67.4^\circ $ and $\lvert b \rvert \leq 1.25^\circ $) achieving an angular resolution of $\leq 40^{\prime\prime}$. At $L$ Band, the WIDAR correlator at the VLA was set to cover the 21~cm HI line, four OH transitions, a series of H$nα$ radio recombination lines (RRLs; $n=151$ to 186), and eight 128~MHz wide continuum spectral windows (SPWs) simultaneously. The HI emission shows clear filamentary substructures at negative velocities with low velocity crowding. The emission at positive velocities is more smeared-out likely due to higher spatial and velocity crowding of structures at the positive velocities. Comparing to the spiral arm model of the Milky Way, the atomic gas follows the Sagittarius and Perseus Arm well but with significant material in the inter-arm regions. With the C-configuration-only HI+continuum data, we produced a HI optical depth map of the THOR areal coverage from 228 absorption spectra with the nearest-neighbor method. With this $τ$ map, we corrected the HI emission for optical depth and the derived column density is 38% higher than the column density with optically thin assumption. The total HI mass with optical depth correction in the survey region is 4.7$\times10^8~M_\odot$, 31% more than the mass derived assuming the emission is optically thin. If we apply this 31% correction to the whole Milky Way, the total atomic gas mass would be 9.4-10.5$\times 10^9~M_\odot$. Comparing the HI with existing CO data, we find a significant increase in the atomic-to-molecular gas ratio from the spiral arms to the inter-arm regions.

 Diagnosis. Aplysinellidae with coarse irregular dendritic fibres in which bark and pith elements are present but the pith predominates. The bark is strongly laminated and very brittle. Fibres can be very thick and render the texture of the sponge interior very rough to the touch. Dense collagen reinforces the matrix, making the sponges hard, to just compressible. The surface is smooth or conulose and the sponge form massive, sometimes stalked or branching (from Bergquist & Cook 2002a).

description: An experimental procedure is proposed to perform measurements of differential cross sections which can be compared to fixed-order QCD predictions with improved accuracy. The procedure can be applied to the Drell-Yan cross-section measurements which are differential in the boson transverse momentum. An example analysis is performed using the ATLAS measurement of the $Z$-boson production cross section at center-of-mass energy of $8$ TeV. The resulting full phase space measurement of the cross section differential in the boson rapidity is compared to theoretical predictions computed with next-to-next-to leading-order accuracy in QCD.

description: The charge response in the spin chain/ladder compound Sr_14-xCa_xCu_24O_41 is characterized by DC resistivity, low-frequency dielectric spectroscopy and optical spectroscopy. We identify a phase transition below which a charge-density wave (CDW) develops in the ladder arrays. Calcium doping suppresses this phase with the transition temperature decreasing from 210 K for x=0 to 10 K for x=9, and the CDW gap from 130 meV down to 3 meV, respectively. This suppression is due to the worsened nesting originating from the increase of the inter-ladder tight-binding hopping integrals, as well as from disorder introduced at the Sr sites. These results altogether speak in favor of two-dimensional superconductivity under pressure.

description: Propositional logics in general, considered as a set of sentences, can be undecidable even if they have "nice" representations, e.g., are given by a calculus. Even decidable propositional logics can be computationally complex (e.g., already intuitionistic logic is PSPACE-complete). On the other hand, finite-valued logics are computationally relatively simple - at worst NP. Moreover, finite-valued semantics are simple, and general methods for theorem proving exist. This raises the question to what extent and under what circumstances propositional logics represented in various ways can be approximated by finite-valued logics. It is shown that the minimal $m$-valued logic for which a given calculus is strongly sound can be calculated. It is also investigated under which conditions propositional logics can be characterized as the intersection of (effectively given) sequences of finite-valued logics.

description: A clinical photographer’s role can cover a broad range of disciplines within the health care setting and throughout a patient’s care pathway. This in turn can result in the photographer being exposed to scenarios and conditions which can be extremely traumatic. At the time this study took place, formal training for clinical photographers on the management of these situations or the emotional well-being of the photographer did not exist. To explore clinical photographers’ experiences and management of these situations, the author circulated a questionnaire which was completed by 216 participants. The results showed individuals find a range of situations emotionally challenging and this varies from person to person based on factors such as experiences they have had in their personal life and time within the profession.

description: We calculate the fluxes of 511 KeV photons from the Galactic bulge caused by positrons produced in the decays of relic particles with masses less than 100 MeV. In particular, we tighten the constraints on sterile neutrinos over a large domain of the mass--mixing angle parameter space, where the resulting photon flux would significantly exceed the experimental data. At the same time, the observed photon fluxes can be easily caused by decaying sterile neutrinos in the mass range 1 MeV < m_sterile < 50 MeV with the cosmological abundance typically within 10^{-9} < Omega_sterile < 10^{-5}, assuming that Omega_sterile comes entirely from the conversion of active neutrinos in the early Universe. Other candidates for decaying relics such as neutral (pseudo)scalar particles coupled to leptons with the gravitational strength can be compatible with the photon flux, and can constitute the main component of cold dark matter.

description: We discuss how to calculate cross sections as well as rapidity, transverse momentum and energy distributions of $ν_τ$ and ${\overline ν}_τ$ produced from the direct $D_s^{\pm} \to ν_τ/{\overline ν}_τ$ and chain $D_s^{\pm} \to τ^+/τ^- \to ν_τ/{\overline ν}_τ$ decays in $p\!+^{96}\!\mathrm{Mo}$ scattering with proton beam $E_{\mathrm{lab}}$ = 400 GeV \textit{i.e.} at $\sqrt{s}_{NN}$ = 27.4 GeV. The $τ$ decays are simulated with the help of the \textsc{Tauola} code and include multiple decay channels of $τ$ in amounts proportional to their branching ratios. In our calculations we include $D_s^{\pm}$ from charm fragmentation $c \to D_s^{+}$ and $\bar c \to D_s^-$ as well as those from subleading fragmentation of strange quarks/antiquarks $s \to D_s^-$ and $\bar s \to D_s^+$. The $s \ne \bar s$ asymmetry of the strange quark content of proton is included. The different contributions to $D_s^{\pm}$ and $ν_τ / {\overline ν}_τ$ are shown explicitly. We discuss and quantify a not discussed so far effect of asymmetries for production of $ν_τ$ and ${\overline ν}_τ$ caused by subleading fragmentation mechanism and discuss related uncertainties. A potential measurement of the asymmetry is discussed. Estimates of a number of observed $ν_τ / \overlineν_τ$ in the $ν_τ / \overlineν_τ +^{208}\!\mathrm{Pb}$ reaction, with 2m long target are given with the help of the NuWro program. We refer also to the production of the high-energy (anti)neutrinos in the atmosphere.

description: One of the major challenges in ocular biometrics is the cross-spectral scenario, i.e., how to match images acquired in different wavelengths (typically visible (VIS) against near-infrared (NIR)). This article designs and extensively evaluates cross-spectral ocular verification methods, for both the closed and open-world settings, using well known deep learning representations based on the iris and periocular regions. Using as inputs the bounding boxes of non-normalized iris/periocular regions, we fine-tune Convolutional Neural Network(CNN) models (based either on VGG16 or ResNet-50 architectures), originally trained for face recognition. Based on the experiments carried out in two publicly available cross-spectral ocular databases, we report results for intra-spectral and cross-spectral scenarios, with the best performance being observed when fusing ResNet-50 deep representations from both the periocular and iris regions. When compared to the state-of-the-art, we observed that the proposed solution consistently reduces the Equal Error Rate(EER) values by 90% / 93% / 96% and 61% / 77% / 83% on the cross-spectral scenario and in the PolyU Bi-spectral and Cross-eye-cross-spectral datasets. Lastly, we evaluate the effect that the "deepness" factor of feature representations has in recognition effectiveness, and - based on a subjective analysis of the most problematic pairwise comparisons - we point out further directions for this field of research.

description: Peristalsis enables transport of the food bolus in the gut. Here, I show by dynamic ex-vivo intra-cellular calcium imaging on living embryonic gut transverse sections that the most primitive form of peristalsis that occurs in the embryo is the result of inter-cellular, gap-junction dependent calcium waves that propagate in the circular smooth muscle layer. I show that the embryonic gut is an intrinsically mechanosensitive organ, as the slightest externally applied mechanical stimulus triggers contractile waves. This dynamic response is an embryonic precursor of the "law of the intestine (peristaltic reflex). I show how characteristic features of early peristalsis such as counter-propagating wave annihilation, mechanosensitivity and nucleation after wounding all result from known properties of calcium waves. I finally demonstrate that inter-cellular mechanical tension does not play a role in the propagation mechanism of gut contractile waves, unlike what has been recently shown for the embryonic heartbeat. Calcium waves are an ubiquitous dynamic signaling mechanism in biology: here I show that they are the foundation of digestive movements in the developing embryo.

description: Family Thorectidae Bergquist, 1978    Genus Cacospongia Schmidt, 1862
 Diagnosis. Massive sponges, with an unarmoured and conulose surface. The skeleton comprises relatively fine, concentrically laminated, primary and secondary fibres. Primary fibres are cored and may form slight fascicles near the sponge surface; secondary fibres are uncored. A granular pith is visible in primary fibres, when not obscured by the coring material, sometimes extending into secondary fibres. The secondary reticulum is well developed, relative to primary fibres, branching and irregular. The sponge surface is finely and evenly conulose, and externally Cacospongia resembles Spongia. However, because of the harsh, brittle nature of the stratified fibres Cacospongia is easily torn, and thus should never be confused in the field with Spongia, which is tough and elastic. The consistency of the sponge is soft to firm, and compressible; the surface is never armoured. There is low to moderate collagen deposition in the ectosome, and surrounding larger canals throughout the mesohyl (from Cook & Bergquist 2002).

description: The Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) has observed seven thermonuclear X-ray bursts from the Low Mass X-ray Binary (LMXB) neutron star 4U 1728-34 from the start of the mission's operations until February of 2019. Three of these bursts show oscillations in their decaying tail with frequencies that are within 1 Hz of the previously detected burst oscillations from this source. Two of these burst oscillations have unusual properties: They have large fractional rms amplitudes of $ 48 \pm 9 \%$ and $ 46 \pm 9 \%$, and they are detected only at photon energies above 6 keV. By contrast, the third detected burst oscillation is compatible with previous observations of this source, with a fractional rms amplitude of $7.7 \pm 1.5\%$ rms in the 0.3 to 6.2 keV energy band. We discuss the implications of these large-amplitude burst oscillations, finding they are difficult to explain with the current theoretical models for X-ray burst tail oscillations.

description: In this Element and its accompanying Element, Matias D. Cattaneo, Nicolas Idrobo, and Rocio Titiunik provide an accessible and practical guide for the analysis and interpretation of Regression Discontinuity (RD) designs that encourages the use of a common set of practices and facilitates the accumulation of RD-based empirical evidence. In this Element, the authors discuss the foundations of the canonical Sharp RD design, which has the following features: (i) the score is continuously distributed and has only one dimension, (ii) there is only one cutoff, and (iii) compliance with the treatment assignment is perfect. In the accompanying Element, the authors discuss practical and conceptual extensions to the basic RD setup.
Odd triplet superconductivity induced by the moving condensate

description: It has been commonly accepted that magnetic field suppresses superconductivity by inducing the ordered motion of Cooper pairs. We demonstrate that magnetic field can instead provide a generation of superconducting correlations by inducing the motion of superconducting condensate. This effect arises in superconductor/ferromagnet heterostructures in the presence of Rashba spin-orbital coupling. We predict the odd-frequency spin-triplet superconducting correlations called the Berezinskii order to be switched on at large distances from the superconductor/ferromagnet interface by the application of a magnetic field. This is shown to result in the unusual behaviour of Josephson effect and local density of states in superconductor/ferromagnet structures.

description: Modeling sequential interactions between users and items/products is crucial in domains such as e-commerce, social networking, and education. Representation learning presents an attractive opportunity to model the dynamic evolution of users and items, where each user/item can be embedded in a Euclidean space and its evolution can be modeled by an embedding trajectory in this space. However, existing dynamic embedding methods generate embeddings only when users take actions and do not explicitly model the future trajectory of the user/item in the embedding space. Here we propose JODIE, a coupled recurrent neural network model that learns the embedding trajectories of users and items. JODIE employs two recurrent neural networks to update the embedding of a user and an item at every interaction. Crucially, JODIE also models the future embedding trajectory of a user/item. To this end, it introduces a novel projection operator that learns to estimate the embedding of the user at any time in the future. These estimated embeddings are then used to predict future user-item interactions. To make the method scalable, we develop a t-Batch algorithm that creates time-consistent batches and leads to 9x faster training. We conduct six experiments to validate JODIE on two prediction tasks---future interaction prediction and state change prediction---using four real-world datasets. We show that JODIE outperforms six state-of-the-art algorithms in these tasks by at least 20% in predicting future interactions and 12% in state change prediction.

description: There are limited data on the real-world evidence of Humalog 200 units/ml KwikPen (U-200) insulin. We assessed the use of U-200 insulin in UK routine clinical practice to provide information on clinical characteristics, treatment satisfaction and short-term clinical outcomes. Nine patients with type 2 diabetes who initiated U-200 in secondary care and a further 12 identified from primary care electronic database were enrolled. A treatment satisfaction questionnaire was administered to the 19 secondary care patients. Follow-up data on clinical parameters were collected at 3 and 6 months following initial U-200 insulin administration and the data were used to assess changes in clinical outcomes from baseline. Secondary care patients had a mean age 60 ± 11 years, mean HbA1c of 8.6% ± 1.3% and a mean BMI of 39.7 ± 5.3 kg/m2 at baseline. Primary care database patients had a mean age 57 ± 13 years, mean HbA1c 10.3% ± 1.7 and a mean BMI 42.3 ± 3.8 kg/m2. The nine participants’ responses to the questionnaire suggested a high preference for U-200 over a previous mealtime insulin pen (PMIP). On average, the patients agreed that U-200 was quicker to inject, had a better controlled home blood glucose reading and less discomfort at the injection site compared to a PMIP. Patients were willing to continue with their U-200 treatment. No significant HbA1c reduction was observed at 3 months in the secondary care group (−0.5%), but marked significant reduction in HbA1c was seen at 3 months in the primary care dataset to (−2.8%; p Humalog U-200 insulin users were comprised mainly of older patients with diabetes complications and high HbA1c levels at the time of U-200 initiation. Overall, U-200 improved patients’ satisfaction with diabetes treatment and short-term metabolic outcomes.

description: Selective laser melting (SLM) has gained large interest due to advanced manufacturing possibilities. However, the growing potential also necessitates reliable predictions of structures in particular regarding their long-term behaviour. The constitutive and structural response is thereby challenging to reproduce, due to the complex material behaviour. This motivates the aims of this contribution: To establish a material model that accounts for the behaviour of the different phases occurring during SLM but that still allows the use of (basic) process simulations. In particular, the present modelling framework explicitly takes into account the mass fractions of the different phases, their mass densities, and specific inelastic strain contributions. The thermomechanically fully coupled framework is implemented into the software Abaqus. The numerical examples emphasise the capabilities of the framework to predict, e.g., the residual stresses occurring in the final part. Furthermore, a postprocessing of averaged inelastic strains is presented yielding a micromechanics-based motivation for inherent strains.

No absorption in de Sitter space

description: We study the wave equation for a minimally coupled massive scalar in D-dimensional de Sitter space. We compute the absorption cross section to investigate its cosmological horizon in the southern diamond. By analogy of the quantum mechanics, it is found that there is no absorption in de Sitter space. This means that de Sitter space is usually in thermal equilibrium, like the black hole in anti de Sitter space. It confirms that the cosmological horizon not only emits radiation but also absorbs that previously emitted by itself at the same rate, keeping the curvature radius of de Sitter space fixed.
