description: Hot dust-obscured galaxies (hot DOGs) are a rare class of hyperluminous infrared galaxies identified with the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) satellite. The majority of them is at high redshifts (z~2-3), at the peak epoch of star formation in the Universe. Infrared, optical, radio, and X-ray data suggest that hot DOGs contain heavily obscured, extremely luminous active galactic nuclei (AGN). This class may represent a short phase in the life of the galaxies, signifying the transition from starburst- to AGN-dominated phases. Hot DOGs are typically radio-quiet, but some of them show mJy-level emission in the radio (microwave) band. We observed four hot DOGs using the technique of very long baseline interferometry (VLBI). The 1.7-GHz observations with the European VLBI Network (EVN) revealed weak radio features in all sources. The radio is free from dust obscuration and, at such high redshifts, VLBI is sensitive only to compact structures that are characteristic of AGN activity. In two cases (WISE J0757+5113, WISE J1603+2745), the flux density of the VLBI-detected components is much smaller than the total flux density, suggesting that ~70-90 per cent of the radio emission, while still dominated by AGN, originates from angular scales larger than probed by the EVN. The source WISE J1146+4129 appears a candidate compact symmetric object, and WISE J1814+3412 shows a 5.1-kpc double structure, reminiscent of hot spots in a medium-sized symmetric object. Our observations support that AGN residing in hot DOGs may be genuine young radio sources where starburst and AGN activities coexist.

Year: 2008

description: While TB disease rates are leveling off or declining in most of the world, with one third of humanity infected and 1.8 million deaths a year, it remains a major public health problem. The main threat to global public health from TB is the continually increasing number of infections and increasing resistance to treatment in sub-Saharan Africa. Health care workers are at high risk for TB and their loss to the infections of TB and HIV is adding further strain to an already fragile health system. Research done thus far on the rate HCWs become infected with TB is limited, and the difference in risk among various occupational groups is unclear. Methods of TB control and prevention have been effective in wealthy countries and in the few middle income countries that have implemented them in limited settings. It remains unclear, however, if these methods can protect health care workers in high risk areas. Also unclear is which infection control interventions, if any, carry practical benefits that outweigh their costs in high risk areas. It is too difficult to evaluate these questions with the common test for L TBI (TST) because the TST is a poorly effective test, both non-sensitive and non-specific in the high-risk TB settings of subSaharan Africa. A new test for L TBI is now available, the IGRA. The IGRA has some qualities that may make it a better test for evaluating TB exposure in HCWs. This pilot study proposes to use an IGRA to estimate the annual risk of newly established and transient MTB infections in health care workers employed in a setting with high rates of TB and HIV. We will focus on two different groups of HCWs. First we will follow the risks of conversion as well as reversion and variability of the IGRA as compared to TST in nurses and technicians working in TB clinics. This is an expansion of the study of 10 HCWs done by Joshi et al in India. We will use the data to gain a better understanding of the use of the IGRA in high risk settings. Second we will evaluate baseline risk of conversion in students whose risk profile should parallel the general population at baseline then increase to that of HCWs as they begin working in clinical medicine and have increased patient contact. We aim to use this methodology and baseline information to plan future studies to assess the effectiveness of TB infection control measures in prospective controlled trials within health care settings in subSaharan Africa.

description: We analyze the steady non-Newtonian fluid-structure interaction between the flow of an Oldroyd-B fluid and a deformable channel. Specifically, we provide a theoretical framework for calculating the leading-order effect of the fluid's viscoelasticity on the flow rate-pressure drop relation and on the deformation of the channel's elastic wall. We first identify the characteristic scales and dimensionless parameters governing the fluid-structure interaction in slender and shallow channels. Applying the lubrication approximation for the flow and employing a perturbation expansion in powers of the Deborah number $De$, we derive a closed-form expression for the pressure as a function of the non-uniform shape of the channel in the weakly viscoelastic limit up to $\mathrm{O}(De)$. Coupling the hydrodynamic pressure to the elastic deformation, we provide the leading-order effect of the interplay between the viscoelasticity of the fluid and the compliance of the channel on the pressure and deformation fields, as well as on the flow rate-pressure drop relation. For the flow-rate-controlled regime and in the weakly viscoelastic limit, we show analytically that both the compliance of the deforming top wall and the viscoelasticity of the fluid decrease the pressure drop. Furthermore, we reveal a trade-off between the influence of compliance of the channel and the fluid's viscoelasticity on the deformation. While the channel's compliance increases the deformation, the fluid's viscoelasticity decreases it.

description: Off-road vehicle crashes account for over 3% of all motor vehicle crash related emergency department (ED) visits in North Carolina and are an increasingly serious problem. State legislators and ATV safety groups have recognized off-road vehicle safety as a significant problem and have undertaken efforts to reduce off-road vehicle crashes. The research component of this master’s paper is a study to identify off-road motor vehicle rider demographics, patterns of injury, and type of injuries requiring ED visits in North Carolina. Information was obtained from the North Carolina Disease Event Tracking and Epidemiologic Collection Tool (NC DETECT) database, which collects data for over 99% of ED visits in North Carolina. Patients in rural areas, male patients, and pediatric and young adult patients were particularly vulnerable to off-road vehicle crash injuries. Injuries were often sustained to the extremities and head, and the injury type was most often contusions, fractures, or sprains/strains. The systematic review portion of this master’s paper was conducted with the goal of determining the effectiveness of ATV state legislation in preventing injuries and deaths related to ATV use. The review focused on ATVs because it was the off-road vehicle type most often studied. Studies have found that ATV crash injuries and deaths can be prevented or reduced in severity with appropriate injury prevention efforts; however, ATV state legislation has resulted in modest to no change in ATV-related injuries. Future injury prevention efforts should focus on education and compliance with ATV state legislation, particularly among younger age groups.

Multimode non-Hermitian framework for third harmonic generation in nonlinear photonic systems comprising 2D materials

description: Resonant structures in modern nanophotonics are non-Hermitian (leaky and lossy), and support quasinormal modes. Moreover, contemporary cavities frequently include 2D materials to exploit and resonantly enhance their nonlinear properties or provide tunability. Such materials add further modeling complexity due to their infinitesimally thin nature and strong dispersion. Here, a formalism for efficiently analyzing third harmonic generation (THG) in nanoparticles and metasurfaces incorporating 2D materials is proposed. It is based on numerically calculating the quasinormal modes in the nanostructure, it is general, and does not make any prior assumptions regarding the number of resonances involved in the conversion process, in contrast to conventional coupled-mode theory approaches in the literature. The capabilities of the framework are showcased via two selected examples: a single scatterer and a periodic metasurface incorporating graphene for its high third-order nonlinearity. In both cases, excellent agreement with full-wave nonlinear simulations is obtained. The proposed framework may constitute an invaluable tool for gaining physical insight into the frequency generation process in nano-optic structures and providing guidelines for achieving drastically enhanced THG efficiency.

description: The implementation of holonomic quantum computation on superconducting quantum circuits is challenging due to the general requirement of controllable complicated coupling between multilevel systems. Here we solve this problem by proposing a scalable circuit QED lattice with simple realization of a universal set of nonadiabatic holonomic quantum gates. Compared with the existing proposals, we can achieve both the single and two logical qubit gates in an tunable and all-resonant way through a hybrid transmon-transmission-line encoding of the logical qubits in the decoherence-free subspaces. This distinct advantage thus leads to quantum gates with very fast speeds and consequently very high fidelities. Therefore, our scheme paves a promising way towards the practical realization of high-fidelity nonadiabatic holonomic quantum computation.

description: We consider an interaction quench in the critical spin-1/2 Heisenberg XXZ chain. We numerically compute the time evolution of the two-point correlation functions of spin operators in the thermodynamic limit and compare the results to predictions obtained in the framework of the Luttinger liquid approximation. We find that the transverse correlation function $\langle S^x_jS^x_{j+\ell}\rangle$ agrees with the Luttinger model prediction to a surprising level of accuracy. The agreement for the longitudinal two-point function $\langle S^z_jS^z_{j+\ell}\rangle$ is found to be much poorer. We speculate that this difference between transverse and longitudinal correlations has its origin in the locality properties of the respective spin operator with respect to the underlying fermionic modes.

description: An accurate calibration of the source redshift distribution $p(z)$ is a key aspect in the analysis of cosmic shear data. This, one way or another, requires the use of spectroscopic or high-quality photometric samples. However, the difficulty to obtain colour-complete spectroscopic samples matching the depth of weak lensing catalogs means that the analyses of different cosmic shear datasets often use the same samples for redshift calibration. This introduces a source of statistical and systematic uncertainty that is highly correlated across different weak lensing datasets, and which must be accurately characterised and propagated in order to obtain robust cosmological constraints from their combination. In this paper we introduce a method to quantify and propagate the uncertainties on the source redshift distribution in two different surveys sharing the same calibrating sample. The method is based on an approximate analytical marginalisation of the $p(z)$ statistical uncertainties and the correlated marginalisation of residual systematics. We apply this method to the combined analysis of cosmic shear data from the DESY1 data release and the HSC-DR1 data, using the COSMOS 30-band catalog as a common redshift calibration sample. We find that, although there is significant correlation in the uncertainties on the redshift distributions of both samples, this does not change the final constraints on cosmological parameters significantly. The same is true also for the impact of residual systematic uncertainties from the errors in the COSMOS 30-band photometric redshifts. Additionally, we show that these effects will still be negligible in Stage-IV datasets. Finally, the combination of DESY1 and HSC-DR1 allows us to constrain the ``clumpiness'' parameter to $S_8 = 0.768^{+0.021}_{-0.017}$. This corresponds to a $\sim\sqrt{2}$ improvement in uncertainties with respect to either DES or HSC alone.

description: Background: Although it is known that the PTSD burden borne by North Korean refugees living in South Korea may harm their adaptation to South Korean society, no systematic review has assessed information on the prevalence of PTSD and trauma experiences. Purpose: The aim of this study is to complete a systematic review of the literature on prevalence of PTSD and trauma experiences in North Korean refugees residing in South Korea. Methods: I conducted a literature search was conducted using PubMed and PsycINFO on April 19, 2017 for articles published in English on PTSD and trauma experiences in North Korean refugees residing in South Korea. Results: I identified eleven studies reporting on the prevalence of PTSD or trauma experiences that met the inclusion criteria. Prevalence ranged from 24.5% to 29.5%; the number of traumatic experiences ranged from 6.67 to 6.85 per refugee, and PTSD symptom measures ranged from 22.39 to 23.53 per refugee. Conclusions: Although the literature on prevalence of PTSD is limited, this systematic review shows consistent moderate to high PTSD symptom burden in North Korean refugees living in South Korea.
Switching between Mott-Hubbard and Hund physics in moiré quantum simulators

description: Mott-Hubbard and Hund electron correlations have been realized thus far in separate classes of materials. Here, we show that a single moiré homobilayer encompasses both kinds of physics in a controllable manner. We develop a microscopic multiband model that we solve by dynamical mean-field theory to nonperturbatively address the local many-body correlations. We demonstrate how tuning with twist angle, dielectric screening, and hole density allows us to switch between Mott-Hubbard and Hund correlated states in a twisted WSe$_2$ bilayer. The underlying mechanism is based on controlling Coulomb-interaction-driven orbital polarization and the energetics of concomitant local singlet and triplet spin configurations. From a comparison to recent experimental transport data, we find signatures of a filling-controlled transition from a triplet charge-transfer insulator to a Hund-Mott metal. Our finding establishes twisted transition metal dichalcogenides as a tunable platform for exotic phases of quantum matter emerging from large local spin moments.

description: The anisotropy in the electronic structure of the inherently nanolaminated ternary phase Cr$_{2}$GeC is investigated by bulk-sensitive and element selective soft x-ray absorption/emission spectroscopy. The angle-resolved absorption/emission measurements reveal differences between the in-plane and out-of-plane bonding at the (0001) interfaces of Cr$_{2}$GeC. The Cr $L_{2,3}$, C $K$, and Ge $M_{1}$, $M_{2,3}$ emission spectra are interpreted with first-principles density-functional theory (DFT) including core-to-valence dipole transition matrix elements. For the Ge $4s$ states, the x-ray emission measurements reveal two orders of magnitude higher intensity at the Fermi level than DFT within the General Gradient Approximation (GGA) predicts. We provide direct evidence of anisotropy in the electronic structure and the orbital occupation that should affect the thermal expansion coefficient and transport properties. As shown in this work, hybridization and redistribution of intensity from the shallow $3d$ core levels to the $4s$ valence band explain the large Ge density of states at the Fermi level.

description: In the present series of papers we propose a consistent description of the mass loss process. To study the effects of intrinsic magnetic field of a close-orbit giant exoplanet (so-called Hot Jupiter) on the atmospheric material escape and formation of planetary inner magnetosphere in a comprehensive way, we start with a hydrodynamic model of an upper atmosphere expansion presented in this paper. While considering a simple hydrogen atmosphere model, we focus on selfconsistent inclusion of the effects of radiative heating and ionization of the atmospheric gas with its consequent expansion in the outer space. Primary attention is paid to investigation of the role of specific conditions at the inner and outer boundaries of the simulation domain, under which different regimes of material escape (free- and restricted- flow) are formed. Comparative study of different processes, such as XUV heating, material ionization and recombination, H3+ cooling, adiabatic and Lyman-alpha cooling, Lyman-alpha reabsorption is performed. We confirm basic consistence of the outcomes of our modeling with the results of other hydrodynamic models of expanding planetary atmospheres. In particular, we obtain that under the typical conditions of an orbital distance 0.05 AU around a Sun-type star a Hot Jupiter plasma envelope may reach maximum temperatures up to ~9000K with a hydrodynamic escape speed ~9 km/s resulting in the mass loss rates ~(4-7)*10^10 g*s . In the range of considered stellar-planetary parameters and XUV fluxes that is close to mass loss in the energy limited case. The inclusion of planetary intrinsic magnetic fields in the model is a subject of the following up paper (Paper II).

Public Health Policy and Prescription Drug Monitoring Program Mandates
Creators: name: Teater, Don

description: The abuse of, addiction to, and overdose from prescription opioid pain medications has become a leading public health concern in the United States. Overdose has become the leading cause of unintentional death and opioid pain medications are the leading cause of overdose. States are developing policy and passing legislation to address the opioid issue. Forty-nine states and the District of Columbia have passed legislation to develop prescription drug monitoring programs (PDMPs) to track opioid dispensing. These programs have the potential to improve public health through data collection and analysis as well as through use by prescribers as a tool to better understand the prescription history of their patients. Unfortunately, as these are relatively new programs, it is unclear how they may best be utilized. Many states are passing legislation that prescribers must check the PDMP in certain situations prior to prescribing controlled substances. Three states – Kentucky, New York, and Tennessee – have had comprehensive mandates for over three years and it is possible to evaluate these programs and their impact on the opioid problem in these states. All three states have reported that the mandates have reduced “doctor shopping”. Doctor shopping is defined as a patient going to multiple prescribers and multiple pharmacies to obtain excessive amounts of opioid pain medications. This paper examines the PDMP prescriber mandates in Kentucky, New York, and Tennessee to evaluate their cost and benefit. The conclusion is that there is no evidence that mandates have a significant effect on overdose deaths, prescribing of opioids, or admissions for treatment of opioid use disorder. Their use comes at a very high cost that may have a negative impact on public health by reducing the availability of medical providers.

description: We present the discovery of PSO J191.05696$+$86.43172 (hereafter PSO J191$+$86), a new powerful radio-loud quasar (QSO) in the early Universe (z = 5.32). We discovered it by cross-matching the NRAO VLA Sky Survey (NVSS) radio catalog at 1.4 GHz with the first data release of the Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System (Pan-STARRS PS1) in the optical. With a NVSS flux density of 74.2 mJy, PSO J191$+$86 is one of the brightest radio QSO discovered at z$\sim$5. The intensity of its radio emission is also confirmed by the very high value of radio loudness (R>300). The observed radio spectrum of PSO J191$+$86 shows a possible turnover around $\sim$1 GHz (i.e., $\sim$6 GHz in the rest frame), making it a Gigahertz-Peaked Spectrum (GPS) source. However, variability could affect the real shape of the radio spectrum, since the data in hand have been taken $\sim$25 years apart. By assuming a peak of the observed radio spectrum between 1 and 2 GHz (i.e. $\sim$ 6 and 13 GHz in the rest-frame) we found a linear size of the source of $\sim$10-30 pc and a corresponding kinetic age of 150-460 yr. This would make PSO J191$+$86 a newly born radio source. However, the large X-ray luminosity (5.3$\times$10$^{45}$ erg s$^{-1}$), the flat X-ray photon index ($Γ_X$=1.32) and the optical-X-ray spectral index ($\tilde{α_{ox}}$=1.329) are typical of blazars. This could indicate that the non-thermal emission of PSO J191$+$86 is Doppler boosted. Further radio observations (both on arcsec and parsec scales) are necessary to better investigate the nature of this powerful radio QSO.

description: The confinement of a superconductor in a thin film changes its Fermi-level density of states and is expected to change its critical temperature $T_c$. Previous calculations have reported large discontinuities of $T_c$ when the chemical potential coincides with a subband edge. By solving the BCS gap equation exactly, we show that such discontinuities are artifacts and that $T_c$ is a continuous function of the film thickness. We also find that $T_c$ is reduced in thin films compared with the bulk if the confinement potential is lower than a critical value, while for stronger confinement $T_c$ increases with decreasing film thickness, reaches a maximum, and eventually drops to zero. Our numerical results are supported by several exact solutions. We finally interpret experimental data for ultrathin lead thin films in terms of a thickness-dependent effective mass.

description: Particles suspended in fluid flow through a closed duct can focus to specific stable locations in the duct cross-section due to hydrodynamic forces arising from the inertia of the disturbed fluid. Such particle focusing is exploited in biomedical and industrial technologies to separate particles by size. In curved ducts, the particle focusing is a result of balance between two dominant forces on the particle: (i) inertial lift arising from small inertia of the fluid, and (ii) drag arising from cross-sectional vortices induced by the centrifugal force on the fluid. Bifurcations of particle equilibria take place as the bend radius of the curved duct varies. By using the mathematical model of Harding, Stokes, and Bertozzi [1], we illustrate via numerical simulations that these bifurcations can be leveraged in a spiral duct to achieve large separation between different sized particles by transiently focusing smaller particles near saddle-points. We demonstrate this by separating similar-sized particles, as well as particles that have a large difference in size, using spiral ducts with square cross-section. The formalism of using bifurcations to manipulate particle focusing can be applied more broadly to different geometries in inertial microfluidics which may open new avenues in particle separation techniques.

Radio Frequency Safety Awareness for the Telecommunication Worker
Creators: name: Wells, Deanna W.

Year: 2002

description: There is recognition among federal, state, and occupational health agencies that the explosion in use of cell phones, pagers and other wireless devices has increased awareness that the risk of radio frequency (RF) exposure is a concern not only with employees and employers but with the general public as well. Wireless towers and rooftop antennas are sprouting up at a fast pace and people are living in close proximity thus causing increased concern about safety and health. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), the American National l I Standards Institute (ANSI) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) (FCC, 2001 and ANSI/IEEE, 1992) have established consensus standards to assist in providing a safe and healthful work environment in the identified at risk population. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) promulgated a standard related to radio frequency exposure in 1982 and amended it in 1996. The amended standard is very broad in coverage however, it does reflect changes in the telecommunications industry that were present at that time. However the rapid growth in telecommunications industry since 1996, with the explosion of antennas on rooftops for example, has made it somewhat outdated. Awareness of the actual and potential exposure and sources ofRF radiation when working around antennas, whether they are mounted on rooftops or wireless towers, will allow employers the ability to provide a safe work environment by mitigating the exposure through the use of controls. Research has been carried out extensively on animal subjects but not on humans. Exposure standards have been established based on this research but there is not consensus on the specific effects of short-term RF exposure. Research on the long-term effects of exposure to RF radiation is inconclusive and this must be addressed in future studies. This paper will provide information relevant to radio frequency (RF) education that will be beneficial in developing and implementing a RF safety program. The information is directed at occupational health professionals to aid in educating site managers, tower technicians, and all other personnel in providing a safe and healthful work environment related to developing and implementing a RF safety awareness education program.

description: Chemical tagging promises to use detailed abundance measurements to identify spatially separated stars that were in fact born together (in the same molecular cloud), long ago. This idea has not yielded much practical success, presumably because of the noise and incompleteness in chemical-abundance measurements. We have succeeded in substantially improving spectroscopic measurements with The Cannon, which has now delivered 15 individual abundances for ~100,000 stars observed as part of the APOGEE spectroscopic survey, with precisions around 0.04 dex. We test the chemical-tagging hypothesis by looking at clusters in abundance space and confirming that they are clustered in phase space. We identify (by the k-means algorithm) overdensities of stars in the 15-dimensional chemical-abundance space delivered by The Cannon, and plot the associated stars in phase space. We use only abundance-space information (no positional information) to identify stellar groups. We find that clusters in abundance space are indeed clusters in phase space. We recover some known phase-space clusters and find other interesting structures. This is the first-ever project to identify phase-space structures at survey-scale by blind search purely in abundance space; it verifies the precision of the abundance measurements delivered by The Cannon; the prospects for future data sets appear very good.

description: An interesting feature in active galactic nuclei (AGN) accreting at low rate is the weakness of the reflection features in their X-ray spectra, which can result from the gradual disappearance of the torus with decreasing accretion rates. It has been suggested that low luminosity AGN (LLAGN) would have a different reflector configuration compared with high luminosity AGN, either covering a smaller fraction of the sky or simply having less material. Additionally, we note that the determination of the spectral index ($Γ$) and the cut-off energy of the primary power-law emission is affected by the inclusion of reflection models, showing the importance of using them to study the accretion mechanism, especially in the case of the LLAGN that have previously shown a high dispersion on the relation between $Γ$ and the accretion rate. Our purpose is to constrain the geometry and column density of the reflector in a sample of LLAGN covering a broad X-ray range of energy combining data from XMM-Newton + NuSTAR + Swift of a hard X-ray-flux limited sample of 17 LLAGN from BASS/DR2 with accretion rates $λ_{Edd}$=L$_{\rm Bol}$/L$_{\rm Edd}$<10$^{-3}$. We fit all spectra using the reflection model for torus (borus02) and accretion disk (Xillver) reflectors. We found a tentative correlation between the torus column density and the accretion rate, LLAGN shows a lower column density compared with the high-luminosity objects. We also confirm the relation between $Γ$ and $λ_{Edd}$, with a smaller scatter than previously reported, thanks to the inclusion of high-energy data and the reflection models. Our results are consistent with a break at $λ_{Edd}\sim10^{-3}$, suggestive of a different accretion mechanism compared with higher accretion AGN.
