description: We study the spectral properties of a Schrödinger operator $H_0$ modified by $δ$ interactions and show explicitly how the poles of the new Green's function are rearranged relative to the poles of original Green's function of $H_0$. We prove that the new bound state energies are interlaced between the old ones, and the ground state energy is always lowered if the $δ$ interaction is attractive. We also derive an alternative perturbative method of finding the bound state energies and wave functions under the assumption of a small coupling constant in a somewhat heuristic manner. We further show that these results can be extended to cases in which a renormalization process is required. We consider the possible extensions of our results to the multi center case, to $δ$ interaction supported on curves, and to the case, where the particle is moving in a compact two-dimensional manifold under the influence of $δ$ interaction. Finally, the semi-relativistic extension of the last problem has been studied explicitly.

description: The paper is devoted to numerical study of stability of nonlinear localized modes ("gap solitons") for the spatially one-dimensional Gross-Pitaevskii equation (1D GPE) with periodic potential and repulsive interparticle interactions. We use the Evans function approach combined with the exterior algebra formulation in order to detect and describe weak oscillatory instabilities. We show that the simplest ("fundamental") gap solitons in the first and in the second spectral gaps can undergo oscillatory instabilities for certain values of the frequency parameter (i.e., the chemical potential). The number of unstable eigenvalues and the associated instability rates are described. Several stable and unstable more complex (non-fundamental) gap solitons are also discussed. The results obtained from the Evans function approach are independently confirmed using the direct numerical integration of the GPE.

description: This paper aims to evaluate the potential solutions to address negative outcomes of HIV care and treatment, that were proposed by HIV care providers, researchers and HIV programme managers in Southwest Ethiopia. Methods: A nominal group technique (NGT) was conducted with 25 experts in December 2017 in Jimma, Southwest Ethiopia. The NGT process included (a) an analysis of the previously qualitative study conducted with various Ethiopian HIV stakeholders who proposed possible solutions for HIV care and treatment; (b) recruitment of a panel of HIV experts in policy and practice to rate the proposed solutions in Ethiopia before a discussion (first round rating); (c) discussion with the panel of experts on the suggested solutions; and (d) conducting a second round of rating of proposed solutions. Content analysis and Wilcoxon signed rank test were applied to analyse the data. Results: Eighteen of the 25 invited panel of experts participated in the NGT. The following proposed solutions were rated and discussed as relevant, feasible and acceptable. In order of decreasing importance, the solutions were as follows: filling gaps in legislation, HIV self-testing, the teach-test-link-trace strategy, house-to-house HIV testing, community antiretroviral therapy (ART) groups, providing ART in private clinics and providing ART at health posts. Conclusions: The current study findings suggested that, to address HIV negative outcomes, priority solutions could include mandatory notification of partner's HIV status, HIV self-testing and the involvement of peer educators on the entire HIV care programme.

description: We investigate fast-pulse switching of in-plane-magnetized magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) within 3-terminal devices in which spin-transfer torque is applied to the MTJ by the giant spin Hall effect. We measure reliable switching, with write error rates down to $10^{-5}$, using current pulses as short as just 2 ns in duration. This represents the fastest reliable switching reported to date for any spin-torque-driven magnetic memory geometry, and corresponds to a characteristic time scale that is significantly shorter than predicted possible within a macrospin model for in-plane MTJs subject to thermal fluctuations at room temperature. Using micromagnetic simulations, we show that in the 3-terminal spin-Hall devices the Oersted magnetic field generated by the pulse current strongly modifies the magnetic dynamics excited by the spin-Hall torque, enabling this unanticipated performance improvement. Our results suggest that in-plane MTJs controlled by Oersted-field-assisted spin-Hall torque are a promising candidate for both cache memory applications requiring high speed and for cryogenic memories requiring low write energies.

Accelerated super-robust nonadiabatic holonomic quantum gates

description: The nonadiabatic holonomic quantum computation based on three-level systems has wide applicability experimentally due to its simpler energy level structure requirement and inherent robustness from the geometric phase. However, in previous conventional schemes, the states of the calculation subspace have always leaked to the noncomputation subspace, resulting in less robustness than anticipated. Recent efforts to address this problem are at the cost of excessively long gate time, which will lead to more decoherence-induced errors. Here, we propose a solution to the problem without the severe limitation of the much longer gate time. Specifically, we implement arbitrary holonomic gates via a three-segment Hamiltonian, where the gate time depends on the rotation angle, and the smaller the rotation angle, the shorter the gate time will be. Compared with the previous solutions, our numerical simulations indicate that the decoherence-induced gate errors of our scheme are greatly decreased and the robustness of our scheme is also better, particularly for small-angle rotation gates. Moreover, we provide a detailed physical realization of our proposal on a two-dimensional superconducting quantum circuit. Therefore, our protocol provides a promising alternative for future fault-tolerant quantum computation.

description: In this paper, we report our high-resolution ($0^{\prime\prime}.20\times0^{\prime\prime}.14$ or $\sim$$70\times49$ pc) observations of the CO(6-5) line emission, which probes warm and dense molecular gas, and the 434 $μ$m dust continuum in the nuclear region of NGC 7130, obtained with the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA). The CO line and dust continuum fluxes detected in our ALMA observations are $1230\pm74$ Jy km s$^{-1}$ and $814\pm52$ mJy, respectively, which account for 100% and 51% of their total respective fluxes. We find that the CO(6-5) and dust emissions are generally spatially correlated, but their brightest peaks show an offset of $\sim$70 pc, suggesting that the gas and dust emissions may start decoupling at this physical scale. The brightest peak of the CO(6-5) emission does not spatially correspond to the radio continuum peak, which is likely dominated by an Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN). This, together with our additional quantitative analysis, suggests that the heating contribution of the AGN to the CO(6-5) emission in NGC 7130 is negligible. The CO(6-5) and the extinction-corrected Pa-$α$ maps display striking differences, suggestive of either a breakdown of the correlation between warm dense gas and star formation at linear scales of $

description: In the Lorentzian classicalized holographic tensor network (cHTN), we derive its relativistic on-shell equation from its Lorentzian action in the presence of a relativistic massive particle in the bulk spacetime: $-σ\hbar θ=Mc^2$. Here, $σ$ is the von Neumann entropy of the cHTN per site in nats, $θ$ is the real-proper-time expansion of the cHTN defined along the world line of the particle, and $M$ is the non-zero mass of the particle. We explain the physical properties, interpretation, and consequences of this equation. Specifically, from this equation we derive the properties of the on-shell proper acceleration of another massive particle in the bulk spacetime as those of the gravitational acceleration induced by the original massive particle.

“Our Tradition Our Enemy”: A Qualitative Study of Barriers to Women’s HIV Care in Jimma, Southwest Ethiopia
Creators: name: Ward, Paul
Publisher: name: Torrens University Australia
Year: 2023
Subjects: Social determinants of health

description: Evidence exists that suggests that women are vulnerable to negative HIV treatment outcomes worldwide. This study explored barriers to treatment outcomes of women in Jimma, Southwest Ethiopia. We interviewed 11 HIV patients, 9 health workers, 10 community advocates and 5 HIV program managers from 10 institutions using an in-depth interview guide designed to probe barriers to HIV care at individual, community, healthcare provider, and government policy levels. To systematically analyze the data, we applied a thematic framework analysis using NVivo. In total, 35 participants were involved in the study and provided the following interrelated barriers: (i) Availability— most women living in rural areas who accessed HIV cared less often than men; (ii) free antiretroviral therapy (ART) is expensive—most women who have low income and who live in urban areas sold ART drugs illegally to cover ART associated costs; (iii) fear of being seen by others—negative consequences of HIV related stigma was higher in women than men; (iv) the role of tradition—the dominance of patriarchy was found to be the primary barrier to women’s HIV care and treatment outcomes. In conclusion, barriers related to culture or tradition constrain women’s access to HIV care. Therefore, policies and strategies should focus on these contextual constrains.

description: There is a shift occurring within the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) in which new regional leaders are emerging, buoyed by a decade of unprecedented wealth generation from the 2000s commodities boom and increased foreign investment. Specifically, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) have emerged as activist states in their interest and willingness to intervene both militarily and financially in the politics of neighbouring Arab states. Contrary to their collective and individual foreign policies of the last 40 years, the GCC states have intervened in each other’s domestic politics and in the domestic politics and revolutions of the wider Middle East and North Africa region. While Saudi Arabia enjoyed a period of dominance among its Gulf Arab neighbours for many years, even occasionally threatening the borders of Qatar and the UAE, the prevailing policy of Gulf states has been non-interference and support for Arab leaders, as a principle of religion and politics. In essence, the evolving nature of interventionism in the GCC is moving away from Saudi dominance towards the emergence of new actors willing to engage in the region and on the international stage. We can trace this policy shift through the simultaneous yet separate evolution of domestic, regional and international political economy. This paper argues that shifts in leadership at the national levels have coincided with larger trends in the regional and international economy which have enabled different, yet both assertive, interventionist foreign policies to emerge from Qatar and the UAE. The result is a moment of financial and military interventionism unprecedented in Arab Gulf politics.

description: We develop a high-precision model for relativistic observables of the Atomic Clock Ensemble in Space (ACES) experiment on the International Space Station (ISS). We develop all relativistic coordinate transformations that are needed to describe the motion of ACES in Earth orbit and to compute observable quantities. We analyze the accuracy of the required model as it applies to the proper-to-coordinate time transformations, light time equation, and spacecraft equations of motion. We consider various sources of nongravitational noise and their effects on ACES. We estimate the accuracy of orbit reconstruction that is needed to satisfy the ACES science objectives. Based on our analysis, we derive models for the relativistic observables of ACES, which also account for the contribution of atmospheric drag on the clock rate. We include the Earth's oblateness coefficient $J_2$ and the effects of major nongravitational forces on the orbit of the ISS. We demonstrate that the ACES reference frame is pseudo-inertial at the level of accuracy required by the experiment. We construct a Doppler-canceled science observable representing the gravitational redshift. We derive accuracy requirements for ISS navigation. The improved model is accurate up to $<1$ ps and $\sim 4\times 10^{-17}$ for time and frequency transfers, correspondingly. These limits are determined by the higher order harmonics in Earth's gravitational potential.

description: Large scale tidal field estimated directly from the distribution of dark matter halos is used to investigate how halo shapes and spin vectors are aligned with the cosmic web. The major, intermediate and minor axes of halos are aligned with the corresponding tidal axes, and halo spin axes tend to be parallel with the intermediate axes and perpendicular to the major axes of tidal field. The strengths of these alignments generally increase with halo mass and redshift, but the dependencies are only through the peak height, ν. The scaling relations of the alignment strengths with the value of ν indicate that the alignment strengths remain roughly constant when the structures within which the halos reside are still in quasi-linear regime, but decreases as nonlinear evolution becomes more important. We also calculate the alignments in projection so that our results can be compared directly with observations. Finally, we investigate the alignments of tidal tensors on large scales, and use the results to understand alignments of halo pairs separated at various distances. Our results suggest coherent structure of the tidal field is the underlying reason for the alignments of halos and galaxies seen in numerical simulations and in observations.

To trust or not to trust (in doctors)? That is the question

description: The accompanying paper on vaccine distrust in France raises the ongoing and thorny issue of trust and distrust in childhood vaccinations, although this time from the perspective of doctors.1 The authors interviewed 16 French doctors who regularly treated adolescents and had experience of talking with adolescents and their parents about the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination. HPV vaccination rates are particularly low in France, and the authors set out to explore some of the reasons from the perspectives of doctors. One of the over-riding themes from the interviews was a distrust in the HPV vaccination, not in and of itself, but the stakeholders who had a part to play in vaccinations. They questioned their own knowledge of HPV vaccinations and ability to talk with adolescents about sexuality, distrusted the pharmaceutical industry to provide impartial information and were not fully convinced of the benefit-to-risk ratio of the HPV vaccination. All in all, these various levels of questioning and unease led to a general distrust in the HPV vaccination, leading to a situation whereby ‘the doctor becomes an involuntary instrument of the anti-vaccination discourse’.1 The key purpose of this Editorial is to explore the sometimes murky and impenetrable world of sociological theory, as applied to trust. It draws on my and colleagues’ publications on parental trust in childhood vaccinations in Australia, which provide neat synopses of different sociological ideas.2–5

description: Medical image segmentation is a challenging task with inherent ambiguity and high uncertainty, attributed to factors such as unclear tumor boundaries and multiple plausible annotations. The accuracy and diversity of segmentation masks are both crucial for providing valuable references to radiologists in clinical practice. While existing diffusion models have shown strong capacities in various visual generation tasks, it is still challenging to deal with discrete masks in segmentation. To achieve accurate and diverse medical image segmentation masks, we propose a novel conditional Bernoulli Diffusion model for medical image segmentation (BerDiff). Instead of using the Gaussian noise, we first propose to use the Bernoulli noise as the diffusion kernel to enhance the capacity of the diffusion model for binary segmentation tasks, resulting in more accurate segmentation masks. Second, by leveraging the stochastic nature of the diffusion model, our BerDiff randomly samples the initial Bernoulli noise and intermediate latent variables multiple times to produce a range of diverse segmentation masks, which can highlight salient regions of interest that can serve as valuable references for radiologists. In addition, our BerDiff can efficiently sample sub-sequences from the overall trajectory of the reverse diffusion, thereby speeding up the segmentation process. Extensive experimental results on two medical image segmentation datasets with different modalities demonstrate that our BerDiff outperforms other recently published state-of-the-art methods. Our results suggest diffusion models could serve as a strong backbone for medical image segmentation.

description: We carried out 3D simulations of monodisperse particle suspensions subjected to a constant shear rate with the view to investigate the effect of electrical double layers around the particles on apparent suspension viscosities. To this end, expressions for Debye length, zeta potential, and ionic strength (pH) of the liquid were incorporated into our in-house lattice Boltzmann code that uses the immersed boundary method and includes subgrid lubrication models. We varied the solids concentration and particle radius, keeping the particle Reynolds number equal to 0.1. We report on results with respect to the effect of pH in the range 9 through 12 and of Debye length on apparent viscosity and spatial suspension structures, particularly at higher solids vol?ume fractions, and on the effect of flow reversals.

description: Flagship near-future surveys targeting $10^8-10^9$ galaxies across cosmic time will soon reveal the processes of galaxy assembly in unprecedented resolution. This creates an immediate computational challenge on effective analyses of the full data-set. With simulation-based inference (SBI), it is possible to attain complex posterior distributions with the accuracy of traditional methods but with a $>10^4$ increase in speed. However, it comes with a major limitation. Standard SBI requires the simulated data to have identical characteristics to the observed data, which is often violated in astronomical surveys due to inhomogeneous coverage and/or fluctuating sky and telescope conditions. In this work, we present a complete SBI-based methodology, ``SBI$^{++}$,'' for treating out-of-distribution measurement errors and missing data. We show that out-of-distribution errors can be approximated by using standard SBI evaluations and that missing data can be marginalized over using SBI evaluations over nearby data realizations in the training set. In addition to the validation set, we apply SBI$^{++}$ to galaxies identified in extragalactic images acquired by the James Webb Space Telescope, and show that SBI$^{++}$ can infer photometric redshifts at least as accurately as traditional sampling methods and crucially, better than the original SBI algorithm using training data with a wide range of observational errors. SBI$^{++}$ retains the fast inference speed of $\sim$1 sec for objects in the observational training set distribution, and additionally permits parameter inference outside of the trained noise and data at $\sim$1 min per object. This expanded regime has broad implications for future applications to astronomical surveys.

Improving the UNAIDS 90-90-90 treatment targets: Solutions suggested from a qualitative study of HIV patients, community advocates, health workers and program managers in Jimma, southwest Ethiopia
Creators: name: Ward, Paul
Publisher: name: Torrens University Australia

description: Ethiopia’s performance toward the UNAIDS 90-90-90 targets is low. The present study explored interventions to improve delayed HIV care presentation (first 90), poor retention (second 90) and clinical and immunological failure (third 90). We employed a qualitative approach using in-depth interviews with 10 HIV patients, nine health workers, 11 community advocates and five HIV program managers. Ethical approvals were obtained from Australia and Ethiopia. The following were suggested solutions to improve HIV care and treatment to meet the three 90s: (i) strengthening existing programs including collaboration with religious leaders; (ii) implementing new programs such as self-HIV testing, house-to-house HIV testing, community antiretroviral therapy (ART) distribution and teach-test-treat-link strategy; (iii) decentralizing and integrating services such as ART in health post and in private clinics, and integrating HIV care services with mental illness and other non-communicable diseases; and (iv) filling gaps in legislation in issues related with HIV status disclosure and traditional healing practices. In conclusion, the study suggested important solutions for improving delayed HIV care presentation, attrition, and clinical and immunological failure. A program such as the teach-test-treat-link strategy was found to be a cross-cutting intervention to enhance the three 90s. We recommend further nationwide research before implementing the interventions.

description: The miscibility of two interacting quantum systems is an important testing ground for the understanding of complex quantum systems. Two-component Bose-Einstein condensates enable the investigation of this scenario in a particularly well controlled setting. In a homogeneous system, the transition between mixed and separated phases is fully characterised by a `miscibility parameter', based on the ratio of intra- to inter-species interaction strengths. Here we show, however, that this parameter is no longer the optimal one for trapped gases, for which the location of the phase boundary depends critically on atom numbers. We demonstrate how monitoring of damping rates and frequencies of dipole oscillations enables the experimental mapping of the phase diagram by numerical implementation of a fully self-consistent finite-temperature kinetic theory for binary condensates. The change in damping rate is explained in terms of surface oscillation in the immiscible regime, and counterflow instability in the miscible regime, with collisions becoming only important in the long time evolution.

description: The ETI commissioned the HEMS & ICT Market project to undertake an in depth study and assessment of HEMS along with what data, processes and controls andpotential additional services enabled via a linked ICT system.The project delivers key insights and findings in terms of potential future offerings and capabilities of these products along with market assessment information.The aim of the project was to characterise the existing market for HEMS and ICT systems and to quantify the market/commercial opportunities for future HEMS and ICT propositions for both consumer and business.

The High Frequency Appliance Disaggregation Analysis (HFADA) project builds upon work undertaken in the Smart Systems and Heat (SSH) programme delivered by theEnergy Systems Catapult for the ETI, to refine intelligence and gain detailed smart home energy data.The project analysed in depth datafrom five homes that trialed the SSH programme’s Home Energy Management System (HEMS) to identify which appliances are present within a building and when they are in operation.The main goal of the HFADA project was to detect human behaviour patterns in order to forecast the home energy needs of people in the future. In particular the project delivered a detailed set of data mining algorithms to help identify patterns of building occupancy and energy use within domestic homes from water, gas and electricity data.

The purpose of this deliverable is to describes the second task which is related to pattern mining. Specifically, it presents an original approach for mining utility data usage patterns relying on a novel algorithm, Gaussian Latent Dirichlet Allocation (GLDA). A full empirical evaluation of the proposed algorithm using the ETI data is discussed highlighting its performance on various mining tasks.
The impact of peer educators or community health workers on the progress of the unaids 90-90-90 targets in Africa: A systematic review and meta-analysis protocol
Creators: name: Ward, Paul
Publisher: name: Torrens University Australia
Year: 2023
Subjects: Health and community services

description: Africa is far behind from achieving the Joint United Nations Program on HIV and AIDS (UNAIDS) 90-90-90 targets. Evidence shows that the participation of HIV patients as peer educators and other community health workers is substantially improving the entire HIV care continuum and subsequently the UNAIDS targets. This review aims to provide the best available evidence on the impact of peer educators and/or community health workers for the three targets in Africa. Methods: We will include cohort and experimental studies published in English between 2003 and 2020. Studies which reported interventions for HIV diagnosis, initiation of ART, or virological suppression will be included for review. Three steps searching will be conducted: (i) initial search across Google Scholar, (ii) full search strategy across five databases: MEDLINE, PubMed, CINAHL, SCOPUS and Web of Science, and (iii) screening titles and abstracts. Data will be extracted using standardized instruments from the Joanna Briggs Institute Meta-Analysis of Statistics Assessment and Review Instrument (JBI-MAStARI) and analyzed through narrative synthesis, and meta-analyses and regression. Heterogeneity among quantitative studies will be assessed using Cochran Q test and Higgins I2 . Ethics: A formal ethical approval will not be required as primary data will not be collected.

Quantum and Thermal Fluctuations and Pair-breaking in Planar QED

description: Planar quantum electrodynamics, in presence of tree-level Chern-Simons term, is shown to support bound state excitations, with a threshold, not present for the pure Chern-Simons theory. In the present case, the bound state gets destabilized by vacuum fluctuations. The bound state itself finds justification in the duality of the theory with massive topological vector field. Thermal fluctuations further destabilize this state, leading to smooth dissociation at high temperatures. Physical systems are suggested for observing such a bound state.

Testing delay in an environment of low COVID-19 prevalence: A qualitative study of testing behaviour amongst symptomatic South Australians
Creators: name: Ward, Paul
Publisher: name: Torrens University Australia
Year: 2023
Subjects: Preventative health care

description: South Australia has to date (October 2021) been highly successful in maintaining an aggressive suppression strategy for the management of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, continued success of this strategy is dependent on ongoing testing by people with symptoms of COVID-19 to identify, trace and quarantine emergent cases as soon as possible. This study sought to explore community members’ decisions about having COVID-19 testing in an environment of low prevalence, specifically exploring their decision-making related to symptoms.

description: Lung nodule malignancy prediction has been enhanced by advanced deep-learning techniques and effective tricks. Nevertheless, current methods are mainly trained with cross-entropy loss using one-hot categorical labels, which results in difficulty in distinguishing those nodules with closer progression labels. Interestingly, we observe that clinical text information annotated by radiologists provides us with discriminative knowledge to identify challenging samples. Drawing on the capability of the contrastive language-image pre-training (CLIP) model to learn generalized visual representations from text annotations, in this paper, we propose CLIP-Lung, a textual knowledge-guided framework for lung nodule malignancy prediction. First, CLIP-Lung introduces both class and attribute annotations into the training of the lung nodule classifier without any additional overheads in inference. Second, we designed a channel-wise conditional prompt (CCP) module to establish consistent relationships between learnable context prompts and specific feature maps. Third, we align image features with both class and attribute features via contrastive learning, rectifying false positives and false negatives in latent space. The experimental results on the benchmark LIDC-IDRI dataset have demonstrated the superiority of CLIP-Lung, both in classification performance and interpretability of attention maps.

description: Based on the similarity of paraxial diffraction and dispersion mathematical descriptions, the temporal imaging of optical pulses combines linear dispersive filters and quadratic phase modulations operating as time lenses. We consider programming a dispersive filter near atomic resonance in rare earth ion doped crystals, which leads to unprecedented high values of dispersive power. This filter is used in an approximate imaging scheme, combining a single time lens and a single dispersive section and operating as a time reversing device, with potential applications in radio-frequency signal processing. This scheme is closely related to three-pulse photon echo with chirped pulses but the connection with temporal imaging and dispersive filtering emphasizes new features.
