description: We present a method to obtain families of lattice equations. Specifically we focus on two of such families, which include 3-parameters and their members are connected through Bäcklund transformations. At least one of the members of each family is integrable, hence the whole family inherits some integrability properties.
Maternal B-vitamin status during development and programming of adult offspring adiposity
Creators: name: Henderson, Amanda Marie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2017

description: Developmental programming suggests that perinatal environmental conditions can impact risk for chronic diseases. Population studies have reported greater insulin resistance and adiposity in offspring from mothers with adequate folate but low vitamin B12 (B12) status during pregnancy. Rodent studies have reported that these effects are sex-specific. Folate, a methyl nutrient, is metabolically linked to B12. Low B12 status, even when folate is adequate, can trap folate in a metabolically inactive form. Folate deficiency is rare in Canada due to folic acid fortification of grains, yet one in 20 Canadians are estimated to be B12-deficient. The objective of this thesis is to determine the mechanisms underlying the relationship between maternal B-vitamin status during pregnancy and offspring adiposity and glucose homeostasis. In vitro experiments assessed direct effects of folic acid on adipocyte energy metabolism. In 3T3-L1 adipocytes, cells treated with 1.6μM folic acid had lower (p≤0.05) mitochondrial respiration rates than cells treated with 0.16μM folic acid. Adipocytes treated with 1.6μM 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF), the circulating form of folate, had higher (p≤0.01) mitochondrial respiration rates than cells treated with 0.16μM 5-MTHF. Female mice (C57BL/6J) were fed one of three maternal diets six weeks prior to breeding and through pregnancy/lactation: control (M-CON), supplemental folic acid with adequate B12 (SFA+B12), or SFA without B12 (SFA-B12). One male and one female from each dam were weaned onto either a control or western diet (45% kcal fat). Sex-specific differences by maternal diet were observed in the offspring. Female control-fed SFA-B12 offspring had lower (p≤0.05) serum IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor-1) concentrations than M-CON and SFA+B12 offspring. This was accompanied by higher (p≤0.05) hepatic Cpt1a mRNA in SFA-B12 and SFA+B12 offspring than M-CON offspring. Female western-fed SFA+B12 offspring had higher (p≤0.05) hepatic FADS2 and ELOVL2 protein than M-CON offspring. Conversely, male control-fed SFA-B12 offspring had higher (p≤0.05) hepatic linoleic acid (C18:2n-6) and lower (p≤0.05) eicosapentaenoic acid (C20:5n-3) concentrations, and lower (p=0.08) hepatic ELOVL2 protein than M-CON offspring. These findings suggest programming of offspring adiposity and glucose homeostasis by maternal B-vitamin status occurs through sex-specific alterations in IGF-1, and adipose tissue and hepatic lipid metabolism.
The MUSIC Algorithm for Sparse Objects: A Compressed Sensing Analysis

description: The MUSIC algorithm, with its extension for imaging sparse {\em extended} objects, is analyzed by compressed sensing (CS) techniques. The notion of restricted isometry property (RIP) and an upper bound on the restricted isometry constant (RIC) are employed to establish sufficient conditions for the exact localization by MUSIC with or without the presence of noise. In the noiseless case, the sufficient condition gives an upper bound on the numbers of random sampling and incident directions necessary for exact localization. In the noisy case, the sufficient condition assumes additionally an upper bound for the noise-to-object ratio in terms of the RIC and the condition number of objects. Rigorous comparison of performance between MUSIC and the CS minimization principle, Lasso, is given. In general, the MUSIC algorithm guarantees to recover, with high probability, $s$ scatterers with $n=\cO(s^2)$ random sampling and incident directions and sufficiently high frequency. For the favorable imaging geometry where the scatterers are distributed on a transverse plane MUSIC guarantees to recover, with high probability, $s$ scatterers with a median frequency and $n=\cO(s)$ random sampling/incident directions. Numerical results confirm that the Lasso outperforms MUSIC in the well-resolved case while the opposite is true for the under-resolved case. The latter effect indicates the superresolution capability of the MUSIC algorithm. Another advantage of MUSIC over the Lasso as applied to imaging is the former's flexibility with grid spacing and guarantee of {\em approximate} localization of sufficiently separated objects in an arbitrarily fine grid. The error can be bounded from above by $\cO(λs)$ for general configurations and $\cO(λ)$ for objects distributed in a transverse plane.

description: The immersion of a single ion confined by a radiofrequency trap in an ultracold atomic gas extends the concept of buffer gas cooling to a new temperature regime. The steady state energy distribution of the ion is determined by its kinetics in the radiofrequency field rather than the temperature of the buffer gas. Moreover, the finite size of the ultracold gas facilitates the observation of back-action of the ion onto the buffer gas. We numerically investigate the system's properties depending on atom-ion mass ratio, trap geometry, differential cross-section, and non-uniform neutral atom density distribution. Experimental results are well reproduced by our model considering only elastic collisions. We identify excess micromotion to set the typical scale for the ion energy statistics and explore the applicability of the mobility collision cross-section to the ultracold regime.

description: Coherent structures are solutions to reaction-diffusion systems that are time-periodic in an appropriate moving frame and spatially asymptotic at $x=\pm\infty$ to spatially periodic travelling waves. This paper is concerned with sources which are coherent structures for which the group velocities in the far field point away from the core. Sources actively select wave numbers and therefore often organize the overall dynamics in a spatially extended system. Determining their nonlinear stability properties is challenging as localized perturbations may lead to a non-localized response even on the linear level due to the outward transport. Using a modified Burgers equation as a model problem that captures some of the essential features of coherent structures, we show how this phenomenon can be analysed and nonlinear stability be established in this simpler context.

Instability of the mean-field states and generalization of phase separation in long-range interacting systems
Creators: name: Mori, Takashi
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Equilibrium properties of long-range interacting systems on lattices are investigated. There was a conjecture by Cannas et. al. that the mean-field theory is exact for spin systems with non-additive long-range interactions. This is called "exactness of the mean-field theory". We show that the exactness of the mean-field theory holds for systems on a lattice with non-additive two body long-range interactions in the canonical ensemble with non-fixed order parameters. We also show that in canonical ensemble with fixed order parameters (e.g. lattice gas model with a fixed number of particles), exactness of the mean-field theory does not hold in some parameter region, which we call "non-MF region". In the non-MF region, an inhomogeneous configuration appears contrary to the uniform configuration in the region where the mean-field theory holds. This inhomogeneous configuration is not the one given by the standard phase separation. Therefore, the mean-field picture is not adequate to describe these states. We discuss phase transitions between the MF region and the non-MF region. Exactness of the mean-field theory in spin glasses is also discussed.

description: Protocol sequences are used for channel access in the collision channel without feedback. Each user accesses the channel according to a deterministic zero-one pattern, called the protocol sequence. In order to minimize fluctuation of throughput due to delay offsets, we want to construct protocol sequences whose pairwise Hamming cross-correlation is as close to a constant as possible. In this paper, we present a construction of protocol sequences which is based on the bijective mapping between one-dimensional sequence and two-dimensional array by the Chinese Remainder Theorem (CRT). In the application to the collision channel without feedback, a worst-case lower bound on system throughput is derived.

description: Based on a microscopic model, we study the interplay between superconductivity and antiferromagnetism in a multi-layered system, where two superconductors are separated by an antiferromagnetic region. Within a self-consistent mean-field theory, this system is solved numerically. We find that the antiferromagnetism in the middle layers profoundly affects the supercurrent flowing across the junction, while the phase difference across the junction influences the development of antiferromagnetism in the middle layers. This study may not only shed new light on the mechanism for high-$T_{c}$ superconductors, but also bring important insights to building Josephson-junction-based quantum devices, such as SQUID and superconducting qubit.

description: The quantum dynamics of interacting bosons in a one-dimensional system is investigated numerically. We consider dissipative and conservative two-particle interactions, and integrate the master equation describing the system dynamics via a time-evolving block-decimation (TEBD) algorithm. Our numerical simulations directly apply to stationary-light polaritons in systems where atoms and photons are confined to the hollow core of a photonic crystal fibre. We show that a two-particle loss term can drive an initially uncorrelated state into a regime where correlations effectively inhibit the dissipation of particles. The correlations induced by two-particle losses are compared with those generated by an elastic repulsion. For the considered time range, we find a similar behaviour in local density-density correlations but differences in non-local correlations.

Transitive points via Furstenberg family

description: Let $(X,T)$ be a topological dynamical system and $\mathcal{F}$ be a Furstenberg family (a collection of subsets of $\mathbb{Z}_+$ with hereditary upward property). A point $x\in X$ is called an $\mathcal{F}$-transitive one if $\{n\in\mathbb{Z}_+:\, T^n x\in U\}\in\F$ for every nonempty open subset $U$ of $X$; the system $(X,T)$ is called $\F$-point transitive if there exists some $\mathcal{F}$-transitive point. In this paper, we aim to classify transitive systems by $\mathcal{F}$-point transitivity. Among other things, it is shown that $(X,T)$ is a weakly mixing E-system (resp.\@ weakly mixing M-system, HY-system) if and only if it is $\{\textrm{D-sets}\}$-point transitive (resp.\@ $\{\textrm{central sets}\}$-point transitive, $\{\textrm{weakly thick sets}\}$-point transitive). It is shown that every weakly mixing system is $\mathcal{F}_{ip}$-point transitive, while we construct an $\mathcal{F}_{ip}$-point transitive system which is not weakly mixing. As applications, we show that every transitive system with dense small periodic sets is disjoint from every totally minimal system and a system is $Δ^*(\mathcal{F}_{wt})$-transitive if and only if it is weakly disjoint from every P-system.

Numerical modeling of seismic performance of light-frame wood buildings
Creators: name: Mulder, Marisa J.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2017

description: Light-frame wood structures are the most prevalent construction type in North America, representing over 90% of the residential building stock. Many of these buildings were built prior to the adoption of seismic engineering design practices and thus may be vulnerable in a seismic event. The primary objective of the research is to examine the use of numerical models to predict the seismic behaviour of light-frame wood structures. Models for (i) a full-scale two-storey house, (ii) a full-scale classroom, and (iii) a two-storey school block were created in light-frame wood non-linear analysis packages. The first two models were validated with full-scale shake table tests. The effect of sheathing type, nailing schedule, openings and ground motion characteristics on the seismic behavior of light-frame wood buildings were investigated. A three-dimensional model of a two-storey light-frame timber house with different sheathing configurations was calibrated using non-linear dynamic analysis to the full-scale experimental shake table results. The model of the test structures was able too predict the time-history response of the drift with reasonable accuracy. The contributions of the strength and stiffness from the openings and non-structural sheathing were included in the model. A detailed numerical model (each nail, framing member, hold-down and panel are modeled), as well as a global numerical model was used to predict the seismic behaviour of an additional dynamic shake table testing was also conducted on a full-scale classroom. The effect of openings, sheathing and ground motion duration was further investigated. Finally, the seismic performance of existing structures and the performance of several retrofit options was investigated with the validate modeling techniques using non-linear dynamic analysis of a typical school block built between 1950 – 1960 in Vancouver. The retrofit options met the target performance objectives.

Generalizations of the Fuoss Approximation for Ion Pairing

description: An elementary statistical observation identifies generalizations of the Fuoss approximation for the probability distribution function that describes ion clustering in electrolyte solutions. The simplest generalization, equivalent to a Poisson distribution model for inner-shell occupancy, exploits measurable inter-ionic correlation functions, and is correct at the closest pair distances whether primitive electrolyte solutions models or molecularly detailed models are considered, and for low electrolyte concentrations in all cases. With detailed models these generalizations includes non-ionic interactions and solvation effects. These generalizations are relevant for computational analysis of bi-molecular reactive processes in solution. Comparisons with direct numerical simulation results show that the simplest generalization is accurate for a slightly supersaturated solution of tetraethylammonium tetrafluoroborate in propylene carbonate ([tea][BF$_4$]/PC), and also for a primitive model associated with the [tea][BF$_4$]/PC results. For [tea][BF$_4$]/PC, the atomically detailed results identify solvent-separated nearest-neighbor ion-pairs. This generalization is examined also for the ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([bmim][BF$_4$]) where the simplest implementation is less accurate. In this more challenging situation an augmented maximum entropy procedure is satisfactory, and explains the more varied near-neighbor distributions observed in that case.

description: The dynamics of a quantum particle bound by an accelerating delta-functional potential is investigated. Three cases are considered, using the reference frame moving along with the δ-function, in which the acceleration is converted into the additional linear potential. (i) A stationary regime, which corresponds to a resonance state, with a minimum degree of delocalization, supported by the accelerating potential trap. (ii) A pulling scenario: an initially bound particle follows the accelerating delta-functional trap, within a finite time. (iii) The pushing scenario: the particle, which was initially localized to the right of the repulsive delta-function, is shoved to the right by the accelerating potential. For the two latter scenarios, the life time of the trapped particle, and the largest velocity to which it can be accelerated while staying trapped, are found. Analytical approximations are developed for the cases of small and large accelerations in the pulling regime, and also for a small acceleration in the stationary situation, and in the regime of pushing. The same regimes may be realized by Airy-like planar optical beams guided by a narrow bending potential channel or crest. Physical estimates are given for an atom steered by a stylus of a scanning tunneling microscope (STM), and for the optical beam guided by a bending stripe.

description: We study analytical properties of the holographic superconductors with Weyl corrections. We describe the phenomena in the probe limit neglecting backreaction of the space-time. We observe that for the conformal dimension $\triangle_{+}=3$, the minimum value of the critical temperature $T^{Min}_c$ at which condensation sets, can be obtained directly from the equations of motion as $T^{Min}_c\approx 0.170845\sqrt[3]ρ$, which is in very good agreement with the numerical value $T^{Min}_c=0.170\sqrt[3]ρ$ [Phys.Lett.B697:153-158,2011]. This value of $T^{Min}_c$ corresponds to the value of the Weyl's coupling $γ=-0.06$ in table (1) of [Phys.Lett.B697:153-158,2011]. We calculate the $T^{Min}_c\approx 0.21408\sqrt[3]ρ$ for another Weyl's coupling $γ=0.02$ and the the conformal dimension $\triangle_{-}=1$. Further, we show that the critical exponent is $β=1/2$. We observe that there is a linear relation between the charge density $ρ$ and the chemical potential difference $μ-μ_c$ qualitatively matches the numerical curves.

The Fermi Problem in Discrete Systems

Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The Fermi two-atom problem illustrates an apparent causality violation in Quantum Field Theory which has to do with the nature of the built in correlations in the vacuum. It has been a constant subject of theoretical debate and discussions during the last few decades. Nevertheless, although the issues at hand could in principle be tested experimentally, the smallness of such apparent violations of causality in Quantum Electrodynamics prevented the observation of the predicted effect. In the present paper we show that the problem can be simulated within the framework of discrete systems that can be manifested, for instance, by trapped atoms in optical lattices or trapped ions. Unlike the original continuum case, the causal structure is no longer sharp. Nevertheless, as we show, it is possible to distinguish between "trivial" effects due to "direct" causality violations, and the effects associated with Fermi's problem, even in such discrete settings. The ability to control externally the strength of the atom-field interactions, enables us also to study both the original Fermi problem with "bare atoms", as well as correction in the scenario that involves "dressed" atoms. Finally, we show that in principle, the Fermi effect can be detected using trapped ions.

Reception of "Journey to the West" in early modern Japan

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2017

description: As one of the most prominent works of Chinese literature, Xiyouji 西遊記 (literally, The Record of the Westward Journey, or Journey to the West) has received considerable attention in Western scholarship, focusing on issues of its antecedents, textual formation, authorship, character prototypes and religious allegory, which attests to its complexity in terms of the history of its composition and contents. However, not much has been written about the equally remarkable influence that the Journey to the West has had on literary and visual cultures of East Asian countries neighboring China, where it was appropriated, re-created either in full or abridged forms, and re-envisioned over the centuries—an impact greater than that of any other single work of vernacular Chinese literature. This study is devoted to the exploration of the profound and continuous impact that the Journey to the West has had on Japanese culture—the importation of this vernacular Chinese narrative, the history of its translation, and an examination of specific works related to its literary and visual reception. This study will focus on the reception history of Journey to the West in the Japanese context, highlighting the history of its first Japanese translation that extended over a lengthy period of nearly seventy years (1758–1837)—an intermittent “relay” of changing translators—until its complete translation was made available to the widest audience of readers, and one of its adaptations, a gōkan by Tamenaga Shunsui 為永春水 (1790–1844) Fūzoku onna Saiyūki 風俗女西遊記 (Women’s Journey to the West in the Current Style, 1828), in the context of the “writerly” reception of Journey to the West and cross-artistic phenomenon of onna-mono in the Kaseiki years (1804–1830) of the late Tokugawa period.

description: There has been recent progress on the problem of inferring the structure of interactions in complex networks when they are in stationary states satisfying detailed balance, but little has been done for non-equilibrium systems. Here we introduce an approach to this problem, considering, as an example, the question of recovering the interactions in an asymmetrically-coupled, synchronously-updated Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model. We derive an exact iterative inversion algorithm and develop efficient approximations based on dynamical mean-field and Thouless-Anderson-Palmer equations that express the interactions in terms of equal-time and one time step-delayed correlation functions.

We derive the critical magnetic field of the GB holographic superconductors with backreaction. Our analytical approach matches the numerical calculations. We calculate the backreaction corrections up to first order of $O(κ^2=8πG)$ to the critical temperature $T_C$ and the critical magnetic field $B_C$ for a GB superconductor. We show that the GB coupling $α$ makes the condensation weaker but the backreaction corrections $O(κ^2)$ make the critical magnetic field stronger.

We use as observables the ratios of neutrino fluxes produced at the AGN, focusing on four different neutrino production models: $(Φ_{ν_e+\barν_e}^0 : Φ_{ν_μ+\barν_μ}^0 : Φ_{ν_τ+\barν_τ}^0)$ = (1:2:0), (0:1:0), (1:0:0), and (1:1:0). The prospects for observing deviations experimentally are taken into consideration, and we find out that it is necessary to impose a cut-off on the transferred momentum of $Q^2 \geq 10^7$ GeV$^2$. However, this condition, together with the expected low value of the diffuse AGN neutrino flux, yields a negligible event rate at a km-scale Cherenkov detector such as IceCube.

description: We examine the scaling behavior of the entanglement entropy for the 2D quantum dimer model (QDM) at criticality and derive the universal finite sub-leading correction $γ_{QCP}$. We compute the value of $γ_{QCP}$ without approximation working directly with the wave function of a generalized 2D QDM at the Rokhsar-Kivelson QCP in the continuum limit. Using the replica approach, we construct the conformal boundary state corresponding to the cyclic identification of $n$-copies along the boundary of the observed region. We find that the universal finite term is $γ_{QCP}=\ln R-1/2$ where $R$ is the compactification radius of the bose field theory quantum Lifshitz model, the effective field theory of the 2D QDM at quantum criticality. We also demonstrated that the entanglement spectrum of the critical wave function on a large but finite region is described by the characters of the underlying conformal field theory. It is shown that this is formally related to the problems of quantum Brownian motion on $n$-dimensional lattices or equivalently a system of strings interacting with a brane containing a background electromagnetic field and can be written as an expectation value of a vertex operator.

description: We analyze the optimal measurements accessing classical correlations in arbitrary two-qubit states. Two-qubit states can be transformed into the canonical forms via local unitary operations. For the canonical forms, we investigate the probability distribution of the optimal measurements. The probability distribution of the optimal measurement is found to be centralized in the vicinity of a specific von Neumann measurement, which we call the maximal-correlation-direction measurement (MCDM). We prove that for the states with zero-discord and maximally mixed marginals, the MCDM is the very optimal measurement. Furthermore, we give an upper bound of quantum discord based on the MCDM, and investigate its performance for approximating the quantum discord.

Construction of mutually unbiased bases with cyclic symmetry for qubit systems

description: For the complete estimation of arbitrary unknown quantum states by measurements, the use of mutually unbiased bases has been well-established in theory and experiment for the past 20 years. However, most constructions of these bases make heavy use of abstract algebra and the mathematical theory of finite rings and fields, and no simple and generally accessible construction is available. This is particularly true in the case of a system composed of several qubits, which is arguably the most important case in quantum information science and quantum computation. In this paper, we close this gap by providing a simple and straightforward method for the construction of mutually unbiased bases in the case of a qubit register. We show that our construction is also accessible to experiments, since only Hadamard and controlled-phase gates are needed, which are available in most practical realizations of a quantum computer. Moreover, our scheme possesses the optimal scaling possible, i.e., the number of gates scales only linearly in the number of qubits.

description: We analyze the wavefunctions for open strings stretching between intersecting 7-branes in type IIB/F-theory warped compactifications, as a first step in understanding the warped effective field theory of 4d chiral fermions. While in general the equations of motion do not seem to admit a simple analytic solution, we provide a method for solving the wavefunctions in the case of weak warping. The method describes warped zero modes as a perturbative expansion in the unwarped spectrum, the coefficients of the expansion depending on the warping. We perform our analysis with and without the presence of worldvolume fluxes, illustrating the procedure with some examples. Finally, we comment on the warped effective field theory for the modes at the intersection.

Correlated dynamics of inclusions in a supported membrane

description: The hydrodynamic theory of heterogeneous fluid membranes is extended to the case of a membrane adjacent to a solid substrate. We derive the coupling diffusion coefficients of pairs of membrane inclusions in the limit of large separation compared to the inclusion size. Two-dimensional compressive stresses in the membrane make the coupling coefficients decay asymptotically as $1/r^2$ with interparticle distance $r$. For the common case, where the distance to the substrate is of sub-micron scale, we present expressions for the coupling between distant disklike inclusions, which are valid for arbitrary inclusion size. We calculate the effect of inclusions on the response of the membrane and the associated corrections to the coupling diffusion coefficients to leading order in the concentration of inclusions. While at short distances the response is modified as if the membrane were a two-dimensional suspension, the large-distance response is not renormalized by the inclusions.

description: LaCo2B2 with a ThCr2Si2-type structure composed of alternately stacked La and CoB layers exhibits metallic electrical conductivity and Pauli paramagnetic behavior down to 2K. Bulk superconductivity with a Tc of ~4K emerges upon substitution with dopant elements; i.e., isovalent substitution to form (La1-xYx)Co2B2, or aliovalent substitution to form La(Co1-xFex)2B2. Highly covalent bonding between Co 3d and B 2p levels in the CoB layers, which is caused by the B 2p level being shallower than the Fermi level, removes magnetic ordering from Co 3d electrons even in the undoped samples.

Relationships among organizational characteristics, occupational fatigue, and missed care in registered nurses working at night in NJ acute care hospitals
Creators: name: Crincoli, Suzanne
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2023

description: Background: The Agency for Healthcare Quality and Safety has recognized missed care as a significant threat to healthcare quality and patient safety. The incidence of Missed Care is high internationally. The effect of the synergistic relationships among organizational (i.e., practice environment support, RN workload, patient-to-RN staffing ratios) and nurse characteristics, (i.e., experience level, education level, sleep hours, consecutive work shifts) and occupational fatigue types (i.e., chronic fatigue, acute fatigue, and inter-shift recovery) on the incidence of missed care at night is not well known. Objectives: Guided by the Integrated Model of Abnormal Work Schedules, Organizational and Nurse Characteristics, Occupational Fatigue, and Missed Care the aims of this study were to examine (1) the individual, and independent effects of organizational characteristics, and occupational fatigue types on the incidence of missed care in registered nurses (RN) working in acute care hospitals at night; and (2) the moderating effects of organizational characteristics, and nurse characteristics on the relationship between occupational fatigue types and missed care at night. Methods: This dissertation employed a quantitative, cross-sectional Design. A publicly available roster of registered nurses was used to recruit participants for this study. The data were analyzed using SPSS software. The Tasks Undone-12 (TU-12) scale, the Practice Environment Scale of Nurse Work Index (PES-NWI), the Individualized Workload Perception Scale-Revised (IPWS_R) subscale, a single-item staffing question, and the Occupational Fatigue and Exhaustion Recovery Scale (OFER-15) were used in this study. Results: Descriptive statistics, Pearson’s correlation, multiple linear regression, and simple moderation analysis were employed. Individual predictors of missed care at night were practice environment support, RN workload, patient-to-RN staffing ratios, chronic fatigue, and inter-shift recovery. Acute fatigue did not individually predict missed care. Multiple regression analysis revealed patient-to-RN staffing ratios and chronic fatigue to be predictors of missed care at night. Moderation analysis revealed that (1) acute fatigue and missed care were dependent on a nurse's experience level, (2) inter-shift recovery and missed care were dependent on a nurse's experience level, and sleep hours between shifts. Conclusion: Implications of this study inform policies for safe nursing practice and patient safety at night.

description: Phase transitions not allowed in equilibrium steady states may happen however at the fluctuating level. We observe for the first time this striking and general phenomenon measuring current fluctuations in an isolated diffusive system. While small fluctuations result from the sum of weakly-correlated local events, for currents above a critical threshold the system self-organizes into a coherent traveling wave which facilitates the current deviation by gathering energy in a localized packet, thus breaking translation invariance. This results in Gaussian statistics for small fluctuations but non-Gaussian tails above the critical current. Our observations, which agree with predictions derived from hydrodynamic fluctuation theory, strongly suggest that rare events are generically associated with coherent, self-organized patterns which enhance their probability.
