description: Measurements of the superconducting transition temperature Tc have been performed by the inductive method on MgB2 at pressures up to 28 GPa. Tc decreases with applied pressure, exhibiting a cusp at about 9 GPa. We interpret the appearance of this anomaly in the Tc(P) dependence as a result of the pressure-induced electronic transition. Recent band-structure calculations for MgB2 give some support for such an explanation.

description: The transport coefficients for a gas of smooth, inelastic hard spheres are obtained from the Boltzmann equation in the form of Green-Kubo relations. The associated time correlation functions are not simply those constructed from the fluxes of conserved densities. Instead, fluxes constructed from the reference local homogeneous distribution occur as well. The analysis exposes potential problems associated with a straightforward extension of linear response methods to granular systems.

description: We model s-wave and d-wave disordered granular superconductors with a three-dimensional lattice of randomly distributed Josephson junctions with finite self-inductance. The nonlinear ac resistivity of these systems was calculated using Langevin dynamical equations. The current amplitude dependence of the nonlinear resistivity at the peak position is found to be a power law characterized by exponent $α$. The later is not universal but depends on the self-inductance and current regimes. In the weak current regime $α$ is independent of the self-inductance and equal to 0.5 or both of s- and d-wave materials. In the strong current regime this exponent depends on the screening. We find $α\approx 1$ for some interval of inductance which agrees with the experimental finding for d-wave ceramic superconductors.

description: This paper exploits a unique opportunity to test parallelism between the field and laboratory for the Voluntary Contribution Mechanism (VCM). Most commodities in the United States have checkoff programs assessing producers for generic advertising and promotion, a public good for producers. Examples include: Got Milk? and the Incredible Edible Egg. Originally, participation in many of these programs used the VCM and the freeriding observed follows a similar pattern to that seen in the laboratory by experimental economists. For example, a substantial amount of historical information is available for the egg industry's generic advertising program. We simulate both the economic and psychological details of this industry in a parallelism experiment. The results over eleven rounds of the VCM conducted in the laboratory are strikingly similar to the real-world results for the American Egg Board's program from 1977 to 1988. We also replicate the positive vote in favor of a mandatory program to replace the VCM that occurred in 1988. All commodity checkoff programs today are mandatory. Yet the constitutionality of mandatory checkoff programs has recently been challenged on the grounds that mandatory programs violate individual producer's free speech rights under the First Amendment. In light of this legal uncertainty, this paper explores the feasibility of using a voluntary provision point mechanism (PPM) which closely follows the institutional design of the VCM and mandatory programs used by the egg industry. Our results suggest that although the PPM performs better than the VCM, both mechanisms in this institutional setting yield far higher levels of contributions than those obtained in prior research. Thus, the research next explores why the levels of giving observed for generic advertising are higher than traditionally observed in the lab. Our results suggest that the institutional design employed by the American Egg Board and others where assessments were collected first and then having producers request refunds afterwards, established a social norm, or reference point, which leads to higher levels of contributions through status quo bias. This bias appears to increase contributions in both the VCM and PPM. However, this effect decreases over rounds as contributions still appear to converge to the Nash equilibrium of zero contributions in the case of the VCM and to the particular Nash equilibrium of just covering costs of the provision point in the PPM.

description: We calculate in this paper the perturbative gluon transverse momentum dependent parton distribution functions (TMDPDFs) and fragmentation functions (TMDFFs) using the exponential regulator for rapidity divergences. We obtain results for both unpolarized and linearly polarized distributions through next-to-next-to leading order in strong coupling constant, and through ${\cal O}(ε^2)$ in dimensional regulator (finding discrepancy for the linearly polarized gluon TMDPDFs with a previous result in the literature). We find a nontrivial momentum conservation sum rule for the linearly polarized component for both TMDPDFs and TMDFFs in the ${\cal N}=1$ super-Yang-Mills theory. The TMDFFs are used to calculate the two-loop gluon jet function for the energy-energy correlator in Higgs gluonic decay in the back-to-back limit.

description: The Hong-Ou-Mandel interferometer is a versatile tool for analyzing the joint properties of photon pairs, relying on a truly quantum interference effect between two-photon probability amplitudes. While the theory behind this form of two-photon interferometry is well established, the development of advanced photon sources and exotic two-photon states has highlighted the importance of quantifying precisely what information can and cannot be inferred from features in a Hong-Ou-Mandel interference trace. Here we examine Hong-Ou-Mandel interference with regard to a particular class of states, so-called quantum frequency combs, and place special emphasis on the role spectral phase plays in these measurements. We find that this form of two-photon interferometry is insensitive to the relative phase between different comb line pairs. This is true even when different comb line pairs are mutually coherent at the input of a Hong-Ou-Mandel interferometer, and the fringe patterns display sharp temporal features. Consequently, Hong-Ou-Mandel interference cannot speak to the presence of high-dimensional frequency-bin entanglement in two-photon quantum frequency combs.

description: Escalating media advertising costs have prompted shifts away from advertising to non-advertising promotion activities in the dairy industry’s generic commodity promotion program. As advertising budgets become tighter, determining the optimal allocation of these funds becomes particularly important. Optimal seasonal generic advertising expenditure shares for the national fluid milk and cheese generic advertising programs were estimated, with shares higher in the first and fourth quarters for fluid milk and relatively even across quarters for cheese. Estimates of producer welfare gains from re-allocation were substantial, with average welfare gains of 12 to 24 percent of annual advertising investments.

description: Sex differences in renal tubular salt and water transporters, channels, claudins and regulatory factors are evident all along the nephron. The influence of sex hormones on physiologic dimorphisms has been established in studies removing, inhibiting or restoring sex hormones and their receptors. The influence of the sex chromosome complement (SCC, XY vs. XX) on renal transporter abundance and activity is an open question. We employed the Four Core Genotypes (FCG) mouse model (in which the testis determining SRY gene is deleted from the Y chromosome and inserted onto an autosomal chromosome) to compare abundance of more than fifty renal transporters and regulators in: FXX gonadal females, FXY gonadal females, MXX Sry males, and MXY XYSry males using semi-quantitative immunoblots. In addition to establishing the significant influence of gonadal hormones, we show, for the first time, that SCC contributes to sexual dimorphisms in abundance of renal transporters including: NHE3, SGLT1 and 2, AQP1, mNKAα1 and β1, NCC, and ENaC β and γ subunits. The findings in this FCG model analysis provide the foundation for future studies of the role of sex hormones vs. chromosomes on physiologic parameters including filtration and flow, on transporter covalent modifications, and trafficking in both heath and disease.

description: The wavelet transform, a family of orthonormal bases, is introduced as a technique for performing multiresolution analysis in statistical mechanics. The wavelet transform is a hierarchical technique designed to separate data sets into sets representing local averages and local differences. Although one-to-one transformations of data sets are possible, the advantage of the wavelet transform is as an approximation scheme for the efficient calculation of thermodynamic and ensemble properties. Even under the most drastic of approximations, the resulting errors in the values obtained for average absolute magnetization, free energy, and heat capacity are on the order of 10%, with a corresponding computational efficiency gain of two orders of magnitude for a system such as a $4\times 4$ Ising lattice. In addition, the errors in the results tend toward zero in the neighborhood of fixed points, as determined by renormalization group theory.

We predict a large increase in $T_c$ with compressive epitaxial strain.

We consider all significant corrections to the Born-Oppenheimer approximation, obtained within nonadiabatic perturbation theory, including the mixed nonadiabatic-relativistic effects. Quantum electrodynamic corrections in the leading $α^5\,m$ and the next-to-leading $α^6\,m$ orders, as well as finite nuclear size effect, are also taken into account but within the Born-Oppenheimer approximation only. Final results for the transition wavelength between rovibrational levels achieve accuracy of the order of $10^{-3}$--$10^{-7}$ cm$^{-1}$, and are provided by simple to use computer code.

description: We implement a thermal-fluctuation driven logical bit reset on a superconducting flux logic cell. We show that the logical state of the system can be continuously monitored with only a small perturbation to the thermally activated dynamics at 500 mK. We use the trajectory information to derive a single-shot estimate of the work performed on the system per logical cycle. We acquire a sample of $10^5$ erasure trajectories per protocol, and show that the work histograms agree with both microscopic theory and global fluctuation theorems. The results demonstrate how to design and diagnose complex, high-speed, and thermodynamically efficient computing using superconducting technology.

The rational solutions corresponding to integrable representations of the affine algebra su(2)_k have been classified by Michel, Stanev and Todorov; provided that the conformal dimension is an integer, they are in one-to-one correspondence with the local extensions of the chiral algebra. Here we give another description of these solutions as specific braid-invariant combinations of the so called regular basis and display a new series of rational solutions for isospins I = k+1 corresponding to non-integrable representations of the affine algebra.

description: This paper examines safety characteristics of continuous green through lane (CGTL) intersections using paired-t test and ordered probit (OP) statistical models. The results suggest that there is a significant difference between the proportions of sideswipe crashes in the CGTL direction compared with the opposite direction. However, the results did not suggest a significant difference between the proportions of rear-end and right-angle crashes for the CGTL and normal directions. The results further suggest that angle crashes and crashes involving lane changing maneuvers are significantly more severe compared with rear-end crashes.

description: Background: Appraisal of methodological quality of included studies is an important component of conducting systematic reviews. Although several quality appraisal tools are available for intervention studies, fewer tools are available for non-randomized designs, especially for studies of measurement properties. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to develop a quality appraisal tool specific to validity studies (QAVALS) and to examine its reliability and validity. Methods: Following identification of key concepts, an initial list of 34 possible items was developed. Content experts rated each item as either ‘essential’, ‘useful but not essential’, and ‘not necessary’. The content validity ratio (CVR) and content validity index (CVI) were calculated to establish content validity following two rounds of review. Inter-rater and test–retest reliability were assessed by two external reviewers using weighted kappa coefficients. Results: Items below a CVR of 0.50 were eliminated resulting in the modified version with 27 items. Following the second round, the final tool with 24 items was developed. The content validity index of QAVALS was 0.90. QAVALS demonstrated excellent test–retest reliability (k = 0.80–0.84, 95% CI = 0.76–0.90) and good overall inter-rater reliability (k = 0.70, 95% CI = 0.61–0.79). Limitations: Individual item reliability was low for four items. Further research is warranted to examine reliability using larger number of studies and raters with different experience levels. Conclusion: QAVALS is the first quality appraisal tool specifically designed to address common types of validity. The QAVALS demonstrates strong content validity, good overall inter-rater and excellent test–retest reliability.

We also show that, for any a>2, one can construct a deterministic scale free network with d ~ lnlnN, and this construction yields the lowest possible diameter.

We discuss the implementation of shortcut protocol in a generalized framework for any arbitrary time-dependent frictional interaction and study a class of such interaction from which the STA for the quantum harmonic oscillator can be obtained. We also discuss the application of the above protocol for the harmonic oscillator with time-varying mass. For an illustration, we consider the coupled photonic lattice as a harmonic oscillator with time-varying mass and frequency and discuss implementing the above protocol.

description: A large number of surface-based analyses on brain imaging data adopt some specific brain atlases to better assess structural and functional changes in one or more brain regions. In these analyses, it is necessary to obtain an anatomically correct surface parcellation scheme in an individual brain by referring to the given atlas. Traditional ways to accomplish this goal are through a designed surface-based registration or hand-crafted surface features, although both of them are time-consuming. A recent deep learning approach depends on a regular spherical parameterization of the mesh, which is computationally prohibitive in some cases and may also demand further post-processing to refine the network output. Therefore, an accurate and fully-automatic cortical surface parcellation scheme directly working on the original brain surfaces would be highly advantageous. In this study, we propose an end-to-end deep brain cortical parcellation network, called \textbf{DBPN}. Through intrinsic and extrinsic graph convolution kernels, DBPN dynamically deciphers neighborhood graph topology around each vertex and encodes the deciphered knowledge into node features. Eventually, a non-linear mapping between the node features and parcellation labels is constructed. Our model is a two-stage deep network which contains a coarse parcellation network with a U-shape structure and a refinement network to fine-tune the coarse results. We evaluate our model in a large public dataset and our work achieves superior performance than state-of-the-art baseline methods in both accuracy and efficiency

description: The goal of this study is to improve upon the existing literature in quantifying the economic return of transportation infrastructure. Speci¯cally, I propose incorporating the changes of between-city price gaps to approximate economic bene¯ts that have been omitted by the current literature. Identifying the causal impact of new infrastructure on price gaps is complicated. To circumvent this problem, I propose to employ empirical settings in which natural experiments can be constructed to eliminate the e®ects of confounding factors. In particular, I consider two cities in northwestern China; they are connected by a railroad, the capacity of which was doubled in my sample period (1993-1996). I ¯nd strong evidences suggesting that increasing the railroad capacity signi¯cantly decreased price gaps. The change in price gaps implies a real economic return of between 12% and 24% per year.

It is shown that the spin exchange interaction between the quantum dot and the reservoir induces dephasing in the absence of direct charge transfer. We demonstrate an anomalous nature of this spin-fluctuation induced dephasing which tends to enhance the persistent current. We explain our result in terms of the separation of the spin from the charge degree of freedom. The nature of the spin fluctuation induced dephasing is analyzed in detail.

description: We compare the dynamics of a Bose-Einstein condensate in two coupled potential wells with atoms diffracting from a standing light wave. The corresponding Hamiltonians have an identical appearance, but with a different set of commutation rules. Well-known diffraction phenomena as Pendellosung oscillations between opposite momenta in the case of Bragg diffraction, and adiabatic transitions between momentum states are shown to have analogies in the two-well case. They represent the collective exchange of a fixed number of atoms between the wells.

description: Undergraduate students in an environmental science course were assigned a project to communicate science with a general, non-scientific audience. This site shares the de-identified products made by students. These projects were analyzed as evidence of the students' science communication skills, according to the EEES framework. Some projects were not able to be completely de-identified (e.g., YouTube videos with student faces or names) and therefore are not shared here. The corresponding manuscript is published in the International Journal of STEM Education. Names provided here are pseudonyms.

description: We show that in d>1 dimensions the N-particle kinetic energy operator with periodic boundary conditions has symmetric eigenfunctions which vanish at particle encounters, and give a full description of these functions. In two and three dimensions they represent common eigenstates of bosonic Hamiltonians with any kind of contact interactions, and illustrate a partial `multi-dimensional Bethe Ansatz' or `quantum-KAM theorem'. The lattice analogs of these functions exist for N<=L^[d/2] where L is the linear size of the box, and are common eigenstates of Bose-Hubbard Hamiltonians and spin-1/2 XXZ Heisenberg models.

description: There are two major players in the transportation system: users and decision makers. The decision makers referred to in this study include county engineers, county road supervisors, and county commissioners. Their decisions pertain to the physical infrastructure and operating characteristics of roadways. Infrastructure issues include financing and building, improving, and maintaining highway transportation structures. Operational issues include regulations, enforcement, and taxing of users. Federal and state laws were established to assure efficient and safe use of the nation’s transportation infrastructure. Road users include motorists and motor carriers. These users finance some costs of the transportation system by paying taxes and user fees. Road users expect adequate road services to be provided by governmental agencies. They participate in directing some road decisions through public input mechanisms and input to elected officials. However, in many cases, there are differences between perceptions of providers and users. This paper summarizes the results of a study on direct assessment of rural user needs in three states including Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota. The objective was to assess rural road users’ and providers’ perception of rural road needs. Different rural road user groups were identified to obtain a representative sample of perceptions. User groups targeted in the study included commuters, delivery services, mail carriers, school bus drivers, and farmers. An attitudinal survey was administered to these groups. The survey yielded good return rates in each of the states, suggesting that more road users are becoming aware of road management and finance issues. This paper summarizes development of the survey and discusses major findings.

description: The spring load restriction policy of Minnesota has been in effect for over 50 years with no consideration given to the cost that it imposes on the freight industry. A cost-benefit study was recently commissioned to examine the policy’s necessity. The cost-benefit analysis required a precise estimate of the value of time for commercial vehicle operators in Minnesota. An estimate was not available from previous studies, or from previous data. The necessary revealed preference (RP) information does not exist, and relevance of previous studies was questioned based on the differences in geographic location and the age of data used to construct the estimates. A sample was constructed from several trucking industry sources to conduct a survey. Interviews were conducted using an adaptive stated preference (ASP) survey to derive an estimate to the nearest dollar. A tobit model was fit to the data from the interviews to derive the estimate for value of time. A mean of $49.42 was found, with a 95% confidence interval from $40.45 to $58.39. Variation in the distribution of values is largely undetermined, with the exception of fleet operation, whether it is a for-hire truck fleet, or a private truck fleet. The current state of the art in using stated preference (SP) methods to evaluate the value of time uses a fee structure in exchange for time savings, in most cases a toll. It has been shown that SP methods typically underestimate the true value of time. The use of a fee structure fails to account for those subjects that avoid paying additional fees for a public good that they may feel they pay for in the form of taxes. The fine structure included in this ii analysis accounts for these subjects and provides a greater estimate for value of time compared to previous studies.
A search for cool subdwarfs: Stellar parameters for 134 candidates

description: The results of a search for cool subdwarfs are presented. Kinematic (U, V, and W) and stellar parameters (Teff, log g, [Fe/H], and V_t) are derived for 134 candidate subdwarfs based on high resolution spectra. The observed stars span 4200K < Teff < 6400K and -2.70 < [Fe/H] < 0.25 including only 8 giants (log g < 4.0). Of the sample, 100 stars have MgH bands present in their spectra. The targets were selected by their large reduced proper-motion, the offset from the solar metallicity main sequence, or culled from the literature. We confirm the claims made by Ryan (1989) regarding the NLTT catalog being a rich source of subdwarfs and verify the success of the reduced proper-motion constraint in identifying metal-poor stars.

description: We study the problem of quickly computing point-to-point shortest paths in massive road networks with traffic predictions. Incorporating traffic predictions into routing allows, for example, to avoid commuter traffic congestions. Existing techniques follow a two-phase approach: In a preprocessing step, an index is built. The index depends on the road network and the traffic patterns but not on the path start and end. The latter are the input of the query phase, in which shortest paths are computed. All existing techniques have large index size, slow query running times or may compute suboptimal paths. In this work, we introduce CATCHUp (Customizable Approximated Time-dependent Contraction Hierarchies through Unpacking), the first algorithm that simultaneously achieves all three objectives.The core idea of CATCHUp is to store paths instead of travel times at shortcuts. Shortcut travel times are derived lazily from the stored paths. We perform an experimental study on a set of real world instances and compare our approach with state-of-the-art techniques. Our approach achieves the fastest preprocessing, competitive query running times and up to 38 times smaller indexes than competing approaches.

description: Background and Purpose: Balance impairments are prevalent in adult cancer survivors, leading to increased fall risk and reduced quality of life. To identify survivors in need of balance and fall interventions and to track change with intervention, health care providers need measures with sound psychometric properties and high clinical utility. The purpose of this systematic review was to identify reliable, valid, and clinically useful measures of balance impairments in adult cancer survivors. Secondary purposes were to obtain minimal detectable change of identified balance measures and to determine use of measures to evaluate fall risk. Methods: A systematic review was conducted to assess psychometric properties and clinical utility of balance measures identified from the literature search. Two reviewers in a team independently extracted data from articles and evaluated cumulative evidence for each balance measure using the Cancer EDGE Task Force Outcome Measure Rating Form. Results: The search located 187 articles, with 54 articles retained for quality assessment of balance measures. The Fullerton Advanced Balance Scale and gait speed were highly recommended (rated 4). Balance Evaluation Systems Test, Timed Up and Go, and Five Times Sit to Stand were recommended (rated 3). Limitations: Selection bias is possible. Samples and settings across reviewed studies were widely heterogeneous. Conclusions: We recommend 5 balance measures for use in adult cancer survivors. Future research with existing balance measures should establish norms, responsiveness, and predictive validity for fall risk, while expanding to focus on imbalance in midlife survivors. Patient-reported outcome measures are needed for cancer-related imbalance.

description: We have grown (InyGa1-y)1-xMnxAs ferromagnetic semiconductor layers with Mn composition x up to 0.13 on InP substrates by molecular beam epitaxy. Near the lattice-matched composition, i.e., y ~ 0.53, the Curie temperature increases linearly with the ferromagnetically effective Mn composition x_eff, following the empirical equation T_C=1300x_eff. We obtained Curie temperatures above 100 K when x is relatively high (x>0.1; x_eff>0.08) and the hole concentration is in the order of 10^19 cm^-3.

description: We study beyond-mean-field properties of interacting spin-1 Bose gases with synthetic Rashba-Dresselhaus spin-orbit coupling at low energies. We derive a many-body Hamiltonian following a tight-binding approximation in quasi-momentum space, where the effective spin dependence of the collisions that emerges from spin-orbit coupling leads to dominant correlated tunneling processes that couple the different bound states. We discuss the properties of the spectrum of the derived Hamiltonian and its experimental signatures. In a certain region of the parameter space, the system becomes integrable, and its dynamics becomes analogous to that of a spin-1 condensate with spin-dependent collisions. Remarkably, we find that such dynamics can be observed in existing experimental setups through quench experiments that are robust against magnetic fluctuations.
