description: Type 2 diabetes is a highly prevalent disease, projected to increase in prevalence, while expensive to treat. This study sought to identify significant predictors of each of the two study outcome variables—a higher quality of patient-provider communication, and a higher quality of life. The online sample (N=72) was 78% (n=56) female with a mean age of 55.3 years, while 71% Black/African American with a good overall health status. They rated the overall quality of care received from their provider between good and very good. Using the new Patient-Provider Communication Scale (PP-CS-07, patient-provider communication was closest to very good. Health literacy skills were closest to very good, and health literacy self-efficacy was closest to very good. Level of knowledge for caring for type 2 diabetes was closest to very good knowledge. Participants were in an action stage with 80% confidence (very good self-efficacy) to perform seven diabetes self-management behaviors. Some 43.1% experienced depression, 44.4% experienced anxiety, and 20.8% sought counseling in the past year. The mean quality of life rating was closest to good quality of life. While controlling for social desirability, backward stepwise regression showed better quality patient-provider communication was significantly predicted by: received diabetes education, higher rating of health care quality, higher level of health literacy skills, and, being in a lower stage of change for self-care behaviors—with 79.2% of variance explained by this model. Better quality of life was significantly predicted by: female gender, having received diabetes education, no past year anxiety, higher annual household income, lower weight status, higher health literacy self-efficacy, higher rating of knowledge of diabetes self-management—with 69.4% of the variance explained by this model. Findings make a compelling case for screening patients for depression and anxiety, using the brief tool used in this study; and future research evaluating the impact of health educators and providers being trained in motivational interviewing, while using the Patient-Provider Communication Scale (PP-CS-7) as a new tool to compare ratings by patients of providers trained in motivational interviewing. Healthcare policy should mandate such training in brief motivational interviewing, and evaluate the impact of training in containing costs.

description: The incorporation of uncertainties to calculations of signal significance in planned experiments is an actual task. Several approaches to this problem are discussed. We present a procedure for taking into account the systematic uncertainty related to nonexact knowledge of signal and background cross sections. A method of a treatment of statistical errors of the expected signal and background rates is proposed. The interrelation between Gamma- and Poisson distributions is demonstrated.

Spiral Dynamics in Pattern-Forming Systems: Mean Flow Effects
Creators: name: Tsimring, Lev S.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1997
Subjects: subject: Pattern Formation and Solitons (nlin.PS)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Mean flow effects are discussed for two different pattern-forming systems: Rayleigh-Benard convection and Faraday instability in viscous fluid. In both systems spirals are observed in certain parameter regions. In the Rayleigh-Benard convection, the spiral core instability and subsequent generation of up- and downflow hexagons are shown to occur due to the mean flow generated by the curved rolls near the core. In the Faraday instability, the mean flow which is generated by rapidly decaying surface waves near the wall, causes wavenumber frustration which leads to a rigid-body spiral rotation. In both cases we use phenomenological Swift-Hohenberg-type equations for the order parameter coupled to a large-scale mean flow. Numerical simulations are compared to recently reported experimental results.

description: We consider when automorphisms of a graph can be induced by homeomorphisms of embeddings of the graph in a $3$-manifold. In particular, we prove that every automorphism of a graph is induced by a homeomorphism of some embedding of the graph in a connected sum of one or more copies of $S^2\times S^1$, yet there exist automorphisms which are not induced by a homeomorphism of any embedding of the graph in any orientable, closed, connected, irreducible $3$-manifold. We also prove that for any $3$-connected graph $G$, if an automorphism $σ$ is induced by a homeomorphism of an embedding of $G$ in an irreducible $3$-manifold $M$, then $G$ can be embedded in an orientable, closed, connected $3$-manifold $M'$ such that $σ$ is induced by a finite order homeomorphism of $M'$, though this is not true for graphs which are not $3$-connected. Finally, we show that many symmetry properties of graphs in $S^3$ hold for graphs in homology spheres, yet we give an example of an automorphism of a graph $G$ that is induced by a homeomorphism of some embedding of $G$ in the Poincaré homology sphere, but is not induced by a homeomorphism of any embedding of $G$ in $S^3$.

Year: 1996

description: The exact and semiclassical quantum mechanics of the elliptic billiard is investigated. The classical system is integrable and exhibits a separatrix, dividing the phasespace into regions of oscillatory and rotational motion. The classical separability carries over to quantum mechanics, and the Schrödinger equation is shown to be equivalent to the spheroidal wave equation. The quantum eigenvalues show a clear pattern when transformed into the classical action space. The implication of the separatrix on the wave functions is illustrated. A uniform WKB quantization taking into account complex orbits is shown to be adequate for the semiclassical quantization in the presence of a separatrix. The pattern of states in classical action space is nicely explained by this quantization procedure. We extract an effective Maslov phase varying smoothly on the energy surface, which is used to modify the Berry-Tabor trace formula, resulting in a summation over non-periodic orbits. This modified trace formula produces the correct number of states, even close to the separatrix. The Fourier transform of the density of states is explained in terms of classical orbits, and the amplitude and form of the different kinds of peaks is analytically calculated.

In this work we discuss different consistency tests that can be performed with the upcoming data from the Simons Observatory and the Planck data. We quantify the level of expected cosmological parameter shifts probed by these tests. We discuss the effect of difference in frequency of observation and present forecasts on a direct measurement of the Planck T-to-E leakage beam. We find that instrumental systematics in either of the experiments will be assessed with an exquisite precision, well beyond the intrinsic uncertainties due to the CMB cosmic variance.

description: Gaia Data Release 2 provides a wealth of data to study the internal structure of nearby globular clusters. We use this data to investigate the internal kinematics of 11 nearby globular clusters, with a particular focus on their poorly-studied outer regions. We apply a strict set of selection criteria to remove contaminating sources and create pure cluster-member samples over a significant fraction of the radial range of each cluster. We confirm previous measurements of rotation (or a lack thereof) in the inner regions of several clusters, while extending the detection of rotation well beyond where it was previously measured and finding a steady decrease in rotation with radius. We also determine the orbital anisotropy profile and determine that clusters have isotropic cores, are radially anisotropic out to $\approx$ 4 half-light radii or $35\%$ of their limiting radii, and are then isotropic out to the limits of our datasets. We detect for the first time the presence of radial anisotropy in M 22, while confirming previous detections of radial anisotropy in 47 Tuc, M 3, M 13, M 15, and $ω$ Cen's innermost regions. The implications of these measurements are that clusters can be separated into two categories: 1) clusters with observed radial anisotropy that likely formed tidally under-filling or are dynamically young, and 2) clusters that are primarily isotropic that likely formed tidally filling or are dynamically old.

description: This dissertation examines factors associated with healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) in four acute care hospitals located in New York City.  Specifically, this investigation focuses on the role that the physical environment plays with regard to patient-to-patient transmission.
      The initial analyses describe the scope of the problem by reporting the incidence of HAIs and antimicrobial resistance over a seven-year period in the study institutions.  In total, 19,052 HAIs were identified among 761,426 discharges.  HAI rates fell over time within all hospitals and for all organisms and infection types included in the study, and the odds of acquiring an HAI decreased significantly over time for all organisms.  Resistance levels were stable for Enterococcus spp., Staphylococcus aureus, Acinetobacter baumannii, and Streptococcus pneumoniae.  Multidrug resistance increased for Pseudomonas aeruginosa and decreased for Klebsiella pneumoniae, though imipenem resistance among K. pneumoniae climbed sharply in 2011.
      A systematic literature review is presented to summarize what is known and unknown about how patients’ exposure to infected or colonized concurrent roommates and prior bed occupants affects their risk of developing HAIs.  Eighteen articles meeting the inclusion criteria were identified.  More than half reported at least one statistically significant positive association between the infection/colonization status of a roommate or previous room occupant and the development of HAIs.  Only a single article identified a statistically significant negative association.  The remainder found no associations that reached statistical significance, though this may be due to the fact that they were insufficiently powered.
      The dissertation concludes with a matched case-control study designed to quantify the association between having a prior bed occupant or roommate with a positive blood, respiratory, urine, or wound culture and subsequent infection with the same organism.  In a multivariable analysis controlling for patient characteristics and mutually controlling for each exposure, the odds of being exposed to a prior bed occupant with the same organism were 5.83 (95% Confidence Interval [3.62, 9.39]) times greater for cases versus controls and the odds of being exposed to a roommate with the same organism were 4.82 [3.67, 6.34] times greater.

description: We design and fabricate an on-chip laser source that produces a directional beam with low spatial coherence. The lasing modes are based on the axial orbit in a stable cavity and have good directionality. To reduce the spatial coherence of emission, the number of transverse lasing modes is maximized by fine-tuning the cavity geometry. Decoherence is reached in a few nanoseconds. Such rapid decoherence will facilitate applications in ultrafast speckle-free full-field imaging.

Notably, well-known results in the theory of circle maps (which we review briefly) imply that there are intervals of parameters where the waves in the cavity get concentrated in wave packets whose energy grows exponentially. Even if these intervals are dense for typical motions of the reflecting boundary, in the complement there is a positive measure set of parameters where the energy remains bounded.

A review of acid generation research at the Samatosum Mine

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The Minnova Inc./Rea Gold Corporation Joint Venture operates the Samatosum 465 tpd open pit mine located near Kamloops, B.C. Ore production began in May, 1989. Sulphide ore minerals are hosted primarily by quartz-carbonate vein. Waste rock in the immediate vicinity of the ore zone may contain up to 40% pyrite visually. All waste rock types have been categorized either as acid consuming or potentially acid generating (PAG) based on the results of acid/base accounting. The waste dump design alternately layers acid consuming and PAG rock types. This has the effect of encapsulating PAG material in an envelope of acid consuming material. A laboratory simulation (column leach test program) of the proposed waste dump geometry was initiated in February, 1989 in order to test the validity of the waste dump design hypothesis. The end result of the column leach test program is expected to be a model of the layering technique which may be applied to other sites. The laboratory simulation has, to date, confirmed the effectiveness of the layering technique in controlling leachate pH in a laboratory environment.

description: In 1963 [Ann. of Math. {\bf 78}, 267-288], Gerstenhaber invented a \emph{comp(osition)} calculus in the Hochschild complex of an associative algebra. In this paper, the first steps of the Gerstenhaber theory are exposed in an abstract (comp system) setting. In particular, as in the Hochschild complex, a graded Lie algebra and a pre-coboundary operator can be associated to every comp system. A derivation deviation of the pre-coboundary operator over the total composition is calculated in two ways, (the long) one of which is essentially new and can be seen as an example and elaboration of the auxiliary variables method proposed by Gerstenhaber in the early days of the comp calculus.

description: Vehicle information recognition is crucial in various practical domains, particularly in criminal investigations. Vehicle Color Recognition (VCR) has garnered significant research interest because color is a visually distinguishable attribute of vehicles and is less affected by partial occlusion and changes in viewpoint. Despite the success of existing methods for this task, the relatively low complexity of the datasets used in the literature has been largely overlooked. This research addresses this gap by compiling a new dataset representing a more challenging VCR scenario. The images - sourced from six license plate recognition datasets - are categorized into eleven colors, and their annotations were validated using official vehicle registration information. We evaluate the performance of four deep learning models on a widely adopted dataset and our proposed dataset to establish a benchmark. The results demonstrate that our dataset poses greater difficulty for the tested models and highlights scenarios that require further exploration in VCR. Remarkably, nighttime scenes account for a significant portion of the errors made by the best-performing model. This research provides a foundation for future studies on VCR, while also offering valuable insights for the field of fine-grained vehicle classification.

description: The global influence of AGN-driven outflows remains uncertain, due to a lack of large samples with accurately-determined outflow properties. In the second paper of this series, we determine the mass and energetics of ionized outflows is 234 type II AGN, the largest such sample to date, by combining the infrared emission of the dust in the wind (paper I) with the emission line properties. We provide new general expressions for the properties of the outflowing gas, which depend on the ionization state of the gas. We also present a novel method to estimate the electron density in the outflow, based on optical line ratios and on the known location of the wind. The inferred electron densities, $n_{\mathrm{e}} \sim 10^{4.5}\,\mathrm{(cm^{-3})}$, are two orders of magnitude larger than typically found in most other cases of ionized outflows. We argue that the discrepancy is due to the fact that the commonly-used [SII]-based method underestimates the true density by a large factor. As a result, the inferred mass outflow rates and kinetic coupling efficiencies are $\dot{M}_{\mathrm{out}} \sim 10^{-2}\, \mathrm{(M_{\odot}/yr)}$ and $ε= \dot{E}_{\mathrm{kin}}/L_{\mathrm{bol}} \sim 10^{-5}$ respectively, 1--2 orders of magnitude lower than previous estimates. Our analysis suggests the existence of a significant amount of neutral atomic gas at the back of the outflowing ionized gas clouds, with mass that is a factor of a few larger than the observed ionized gas mass. This has significant implications for the estimated mass and energetics of such flows.

description: We develop a systematic analytical approximation scheme for the singular value decompositions of arbitrary complex three dimensional matrices Y with non-degenerate singular values. We derive exact expressions for the errors of this approximation and show that they are bounded from above by very simple ratios of the form (yi/yj)2n where yi < yj are singular values of Y and n is the order of the approximation. The applications we have in mind are the analytical and numerical treatments of arbitrary theories of flavor. We also compute upper bounds for the errors of the Cabbibo Kobayashi Maskawa (CKM) matrix that only depend on the ratios of the masses and the physical CKM angles.

A survey of Hirota's difference equations

description: A review of selected topics in Hirota's bilinear difference equation (HBDE) is given. This famous 3-dimensional difference equation is known to provide a canonical integrable discretization for most important types of soliton equations. Similarly to the continuous theory, HBDE is a member of an infinite hierarchy. The central point of our exposition is a discrete version of the zero curvature condition explicitly written in the form of discrete Zakharov-Shabat equations for M-operators realized as difference or pseudo-difference operators. A unified approach to various types of M-operators and zero curvature representations is suggested. Different reductions of HBDE to 2-dimensional equations are considered. Among them discrete counterparts of the KdV, sine-Gordon, Toda chain, relativistic Toda chain and other typical examples are discussed in detail.

The role of environmental risk assessment in the mining project review process
Creators: name: Pelletier, Clem

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The practice of assessing risks arising from engineered system failure has evolved over the past several decades in both the nuclear and aerospace industries. It is only relatively recently, however, that similar efforts have been afforded to assessing the potential risks to the environment of resource development projects, including mining. It is argued that this relatively novel application for systematically reviewing the risks of system failure and their associated environmental consequences, or Environmental Risk Assessment, has evolved in response to several compelling issues. Among these are the need to respond to the increasingly stringent regulatory framework designed to protect the environment, and to distill from the multitude of concerns associated with resource development the key project-related risks that merit particular consideration in the project review process. One method for applying environmental risk assessment to a proposed mining project, along with the attendant benefits of so doing, is discussed herein.

description: The XXC models are multistate generalizations of the well known spin 1/2 XXZ model. These integrable models share a common underlying su(2) structure. We derive integrable open boundary conditions for the hierarchy of conserved quantities of the XXC models . Due to lack of crossing unitarity of the R-matrix, we develop specific methods to prove integrability. The symmetry of the spectrum is determined.

Doctors at Work: Determinants of Supply and Demand in the Australian General Practice Market

Subjects: General practice • supply • demand • supplier induced demand • mortality

description: During the period 1996 to 2003 the number of GP services per capita in Australia fell by 14 percent and the proportion of services bulk billed (ie provided at no cost to the patient) fell by 12 percentage points. The Government responded to these trends by outlaying hundreds of millions of dollars to increase Government medical insurance rebates, to increase the number of GPs in Australia, and to provide incentives for GPs to bulk bill. ¶ There has been no comprehensive modelling of the GP market to assist in understanding the reasons for either the declining trends or whether the Government responses were successful. This thesis aims to fill that gap. ¶ ...
Efficient Follow-Up of Exoplanet Transits Using Small Telescopes

description: This paper is to introduce an online tool for the prediction of exoplanet transit light curves. Small telescopes can readily capture exoplanet transits under good weather conditions when the combination of a bright star and a large transiting exoplanet results in a significant depth of transit. However, in reality there are many considerations that need to be made in order to obtain useful measurements. This paper and accompanying website layout a procedure based on time series differential photometry that has been successfully employed using 0.4m aperture telescopes to predict the expected precision for a whole light curve. This enables robust planning to decide whether the observation of a particular exoplanet transit should be attempted and in particular to be able to readily see when it should not to be attempted. This may result in a significant increase in the number of transit observations captured by non-specialists. The technique and website are also appropriate for planning a variety of variable star observations where a prediction of the light curve can be made.

description: The accumulation of accreted matter onto the neutron star surface triggers exothermic reactions in the crust. The heat released as a result influences the luminosity exhibited by the X-ray transient. The most common approach to the kinetics of exothermic reactions in the crust of accreting neutron stars is to consider an infinite reaction rate. Here, we investigate accretion-related heat release in the accreted outer crust of a neutron star by including a time-dependent accretion cycle and experimentally based reaction rates in the kinetics of electron captures above the reaction threshold. A simple model was used to compute the zero temperature equation of state of a crust in which two nuclei can coexist. We solved the abundance of parent nuclei as a function of the depth in the star and the time variable using astrophysically motivated features of the accreting system. We calculated the heat release and neutrino loss associated to reactions in the outer crust. We report the existence of layers in the outer crust, which contain both parent and grand-daughter nuclei of electron captures. The reactions can occur deeper in the shell than the reaction threshold, thus releasing more heat per accreted baryon for a given accretion rate. The electron capture layers continue to exist even when the accretion has stopped. The heat sources are time- and pressure-dependent in accreting crusts of neutron stars. The total heat released is a function of astrophysical (active and quiescent time) and microscopic (reaction rate) parameters Therefore, we conclude these parameters should be considered individually and carefully for a range of different sources.

Nonlinear Landau damping in collisionless plasma and inviscid fluid
Creators: name: Isichenko, M. B.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1996
Subjects: subject: Chaotic Dynamics (nlin.CD)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The evolution of an initial perturbation in Vlasov plasma is studied in the intrinsically nonlinear long-time limit dominated by the effects of particle trapping. After the possible transient linear exponential Landau damping, the evolution enters into a universal regime with an algebraically damped electric field, $E\propto1/t$. The trick used for the Vlasov equation is also applied to the two-dimensional (2D) Euler equation. It is shown that the stream function perturbation to a stable shear flow decays as $t^{-5/2}$ in the long-time limit. These results imply a strong non-ergodicity of the fluid element motion, which invalidates Gibbs-ensemble-based statistical theories of Vlasov and 2D fluid turbulence.

Human-Centred Evaluation of Broadband Telehealth for Tertiary Outpatient Consultations: A Case Study Approach
Creators: name: Stevenson, Duncan Roderick
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2010
Subjects: Broadband telehealth, evaluation, case study approach

description: Outpatient consultations form a large part of the healthcare of patients at tertiary hospitals, both as a precursor to in-patient treatment and for the management of on-going health conditions or long-term rehabilitation and monitoring after treatment. These outpatient consultations are generally conducted at the hospitals, most often located in large cities. Patients who live outside these cities face extensive travel to attend these consultations, placing a burden on themselves and on their families or carers. An ability of a tertiary hospital to deliver outpatient consultations in a telehealth mode to regional or remote locations closer to the patients’ homes would potentially relieve much of this burden of travel. ¶ ... ¶ In this thesis I use a case-study-based approach to evaluate the development and pilot trial of a broadband telehealth system in a tertiary paediatric context. I use the data from these case studies to explore the way that a human-centred approach can be used to evaluate outpatient telehealth trials at a tertiary level of healthcare. ...
