description: The existence of two distinct and apparently unrelated populations of dusty stellar objects in the Nuclear Stellar Cluster (NSC) of the Milky Way, namely IRS 13 and the S-cluster, are potentially prone to a general process describing the star formation history in the Galactic Center (GC). The former cluster is thought to be entangled in the clockwise and counterclockwise disks, a large-scale stellar distribution revealed by the analysis of stars at different distances from Sgr A*, the supermassive black hole in the GC. Recently, this large-scale distribution was reported to exhibit a multi-disk structure with at least four components. Motivated by this finding, we revisit the anisotropic IRS 13 cluster and find strong evidence for a disk-like structure. An examination of about 50 individual stellar orbits reveals a new structure that does not follow any trend known in the literature. Furthermore, we investigate the possibility of an inspiral cluster undergoing star formation processes, as proposed by several authors. Using a simplified N-body simulation to reproduce our observational results, we conclude that, under certain conditions, a massive cluster can migrate from the Circum Nuclear Disk toward the inner parsec. Based on this classification, we revisit the large-scale NACO (VLT) observations of IRS 13 and find evidence for a separation of the cluster into a gravitationally stable core remnant and a dissipating part. With the velocity-resolved H30α line and the broadband spectral energy distribution of IRS 13E3, we provide tentative support for the existence of an intermediate-mass black hole of ~ 3 x 10^26 M_sun surrounded by a hot gaseous stream.

title: The use of interrupted time series for the evaluation of public health interventions
Creators: name: Lopez Bernal, J
Publisher: name: London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine
Year: 2018

description: Robust evaluation of public health interventions is required to ensure that interventions that lead to the greatest health benefit are adopted. However, traditional experimental evaluative designs are rarely possible for public health evaluation. Furthermore, alternative “quasi-experimental” designs are underused, are seldom covered in detail in epidemiology courses and are excluded from many guidelines and reviews. As a result population level health interventions have suffered from an “evaluative bias” whereby interventions not amenable to randomised control trials are often either poorly evaluated or not evaluated at all. Interrupted time series (ITS) analysis is one of the most powerful quasi-experimental designs for evaluating the effectiveness of population level health interventions. It is increasingly being used to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions ranging from clinical guidelines to national public health legislation. The basic design involves comparing the outcome of interest before and after an intervention, whilst accounting for any underlying trend. Nevertheless, ITS studies, like other quasiexperiments have more inherent threats to their internal validity than experimental designs, many of which have not been adequately addressed in the existing literature. Further guidance is needed on these threats and how they are best addressed in the design, application and appraisal of ITS studies. The overarching aims of this thesis are to improve the way that interrupted time series studies of public health interventions are designed in order to reduce the risk of bias and to make robust ITS designs more accessible to evaluators of public health interventions. This will be achieved through a range of methodological and applied studies using ITS designs.

description: While computational thinking arises as an essential skill worldwide, formal primary and secondary education in Latin America rarely incorporates mechanisms to develop it in their curricula. The extent to which students in the region acquire computational thinking skills remains largely unknown. To start addressing this void, this article presents findings from a cross-sectional study that characterizes the computational thinking abilities of incoming students at a Chilean university with a strong emphasis on STEM disciplines. Based on more than 500 responses, this study provides evidence of significant inequalities in computational thinking across gender, type of school (private or no), and prior programming knowledge. The discussion offers insights into how these disparities relate to contextual factors of the country, such as a highly socio-economically segregated educational system, public policies focused mainly on technology access, and heavy reliance on voluntary initiatives, to develop computational thinking. The findings can enlighten upcoming research endeavors and formulate strategies to create a more equitable field for students entering STEM degrees in nations facing similar circumstances.

description: These files contain the design for an open source 3D printable quadrupole ion trap which is capable of trapping Lycopodium powder. The quadrupole ion trap operates using a 3 kV 50Hz alternating current power supply and uses an astable multivibrator circuit to illuminate the spores, using the stroboscopic effect to exhibit their movement. The trap can be used in teaching laboratories to enhance students understanding of electric fields. The trap may also be of interest to science centres as a functional model of an anti-matter trap.

Role of Skeletal Muscle Mass in Sex-Dependent Power Output During Flywheel Resistance Training

Publisher: name: University of Kentucky Libraries
Year: 2018

description: Abstract:
Background: To determine the role of muscle mass in sex-dependent differences in power output during flywheel resistance training (FRT).
Methods: Twenty recreationally active (≥ 2 resistance exercise bouts per week), subjects (10 M, 10 F) completed 2 bouts of resistance exercise using a ﬂywheel resistance training (FRT) device (Exxentric kbox 4 Pro) separated by at least one week. Each session consisted of 3 sets of 4 exercises (squat, bent-over row, Romanian deadlift, and biceps curl) with varying moments of inertia (0.050, 0.075, and 0.100 kg/m2, respectively) in random order. Each set consisted of 5 maximal effort repetitions with 3-minute recovery between sets. Average power, peak concentric and peak eccentric power were recorded and normalized to whole-body skeletal muscle mass (as calculated from bioelectrical impedence analysis). Additionally, linear regression analysis was used to determine the association between muscle mass and highest power output observed among all three inertial loads.
Results: Absolute average, peak concentric and peak eccentric power for all lifts was significantly higher for males compared to females except for peak eccentric power for biceps curl which showed no significant difference. After normalizing to skeletal muscle mass, power output remained significantly higher for men in Row average power and peak concentric power as well as average power for biceps curl. A significant main effect of inertial load was noted for both absolute and relative power output for all exercises except for squat average power and peak concentric power. Regression analysis revealed that power output increases linearly with skeletal muscle mass (R2 = 0.37-0.77).
Conclusions: Differences in power output between sexes during resistance exercise can largely be explained by differences in muscle mass. Indeed, muscle mass accounts for approximately 37-77% of the variance in power output during FRT depending on the exercise. Increasing inertial load tends to decrease power output during FRT.

This map is not intended to be used for selecting individual sites. Its purpose is to inform land-use planners, government officials, and the public in a general way about geologic bedrock conditions that affect the selection of sites for various purposes. The properties of thick soils may supercede those of the underlying bedrock and should be considered on a site-to-site basis. At any site, it is important to understand the characteristics of both the soils and the underlying rock.

Then we show that for such spaces the two definitions of naturally reductive homogeneous Finsler space, given in literature, are equivalent. Finally we compute the flag curvature of naturally reductive homogeneous $(α,β)$-metric spaces.

description: For a smooth manifold $N$ denote by $E^m(N)$ the set of smooth isotopy classes of smooth embeddings $N\to\mathbb R^m$. A description of the set $E^m(S^p\times S^q)$ was known only for $p=q=0$ or for $p=0$, $m\ne q+2$ or for $2m\ge 2(p+q)+\max\{p,q\}+4$. (The description was given in terms of homotopy groups of spheres and of Stiefel manifolds.) For $m\ge2p+q+3$ we introduce an abelian group structure on $E^m(S^p\times S^q)$ and describe this group `up to an extension problem'. This result has corollaries which, under stronger dimension restrictions, more explicitly describe $E^m(S^p\times S^q)$. The proof is based on relations between sets $E^m(N)$ for different $N$ and $m$, in particular, on a recent exact sequence of M. Skopenkov.

I-Love-Q anisotropically: Universal relations for compact stars with scalar pressure anisotropy

Year: 2015

description: Certain physical quantities that characterize neutron stars and quark stars (e.g. their mass, spin angular momentum and quadrupole moment) are interrelated in a way that is approximately insensitive to their internal structure. Such approximately universal relations are useful to break degeneracies in data analysis for future radio, X-ray and gravitational wave observations. Although the pressure inside compact stars is most likely nearly isotropic, certain scenarios have been put forth that suggest otherwise, for example due to phase transitions. We here investigate whether pressure anisotropy affects the approximate universal relations and whether it prevents their use in future observations. We achieve this by numerically constructing slowly-rotating and tidally-deformed, anisotropic, compact stars in General Relativity to third order in spin. We find that anisotropy affects the universal relations only weakly; the relations become less universal by a factor of 1.5-3 relative to the isotropic case, but remain approximately universal to 10%. We succeed in explaining this increase in variability as an increase in the eccentricity variation of isodensity contours, which provides further support for the emergent approximate symmetry explanation of universality. Anisotropy does not affect the universal relations to a sufficient level to prevent their use in gravitational wave astrophysics or in experimental relativity. We provide an explicit example of the latter in dynamical Chern-Simons gravity. The increase in variability of the universal relations due to pressure anisotropy could affect their use in future X-ray observations. Given expected observational uncertainties, however, the relations remain sufficiently universal for use in such observations if the anisotropic modifications to the moment of inertia and the quadrupole moment are less than 10% of their isotropic values.

description: Preul-Stimetz T, Shaw SL, Sass GG. 2024. Whole-lake coarse woody habitat addition facilitates ecosystem regime restructuring in an oligotrophic lake. Lake Reserv Manag. 41:59-74. The loss of vital littoral zone and riparian habitat due to lakeshore residential development is a pervasive issue across temperate aquatic ecosystems. Oligotrophic glacial lakes may be particularly vulnerable to reductions in coarse woody habitat (CWH) due to their lack of alternative structural habitat. Although influences of CWH on fish populations have been well documented, questions remain regarding CWH influences on lower trophic levels and water quality. We conducted a whole-lake CWH addition experiment within a BACI framework using 2 lakes, Sanford (treatment) and Escanaba (reference), in the Northern Highland Lake District of Wisconsin. Premanipulation monitoring began in 2015, trees were dropped in 2018, and data collection continued until 2023. We monitored limnological, planktonic, and benthic macroinvertebrate parameters to test whether CWH addition initiated trophic shifts and altered the structure of the aquatic food web. We found that CWH addition minimally affected water quality and changed some characteristics of Sanford Lake at lower trophic levels. Chlorophyll a concentrations in Sanford Lake significantly increased but Secchi depth was unaffected. The abundance of macrophytes increased in both systems; that in Sanford Lake increased more and was linked to the CWH addition. Dissolved oxygen significantly increased at multiple depth strata. Water temperature was unaffected. We observed declines in total zooplankton that were not related to CWH addition, but the decline in relative abundance of large grazers was. Our results provide a mechanistic understanding of the effects of habitat enhancement at an ecosystem scale and can help guide stakeholder and manager expectations following CWH addition.

description: We prove that the ring of polynomials in several commuting indeterminates over a nil ring cannot be homomorphically mapped onto a ring with identity, i.e. it is Brown-McCoy radical. It answers a question posed by Puczylowski and Smoktunowicz. We also show that the central closure of a prime nil ring cannot be a simple ring with identity solving a problem due to Beidar.

description: Isoflurane is commonly used in veterinary clinics to anesthetize patients and has known acute and chronic health effects. Exposure to isoflurane should be kept as low as reasonably achievable, to minimize the risk of potential health impacts on workers. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of recommended hazard controls for the management of isoflurane exposure to veterinary staff performing regular anesthesia procedures in equine and small animal settings. Isoflurane exposures were assessed via personal passive sampling using a gas and vapor monitor. It was found that when commonly recommended controls are utilized, including active scavenging systems, leak testing circuitry before use, using a cuffed endotracheal tube, avoiding chamber or mask inductions, and recovering the patient on pure oxygen before disconnection from anesthetic circuitry, worker exposures were below the lowest international Occupational Exposure Standard (OEL) of 2 ppm, in both an equine and small animal setting, with exposures in the equine clinic results having an estimated arithmetic mean of 0.52 ppm (GSD = 1.52) and exposures in the small animal clinics results having an estimated arithmetic mean of 0.34 ppm (GSD = 2.06). Results indicate that additional hazard controls could reduce exposures further and include limiting the total minutes of exposure to isoflurane, delivering the lowest effective isoflurane % to the patient, minimizing the number of times vaporizers are refilled during a work shift, and ensuring that surgery room ventilation is maximized.

description: We give the explicit formulas of the flag curvatures of left invariant Matsumoto and Kropina metrics of Berwald type. We can see these formulas are different from previous results given recently. Using these formulas, we prove that at any point of an arbitrary connected non-commutative nilpotent Lie group, the flag curvature of any left invariant Matsumoto and Kropina metrics of Berwald type admits zero, positive and negative values, this is a generalization of Wolf's theorem. Then we study $(α,β)$-metrics of Berwald type and also Randers metrics of Douglas type on two interesting families of Lie groups considered by Milnor and Kaiser, containing Heisenberg Lie groups. On these spaces, we present some necessary and sufficient conditions for $(α,β)$-metrics to be of Berwald type and also some necessary and sufficient conditions for Randers metrics to be of Douglas type. All left invariant non-Berwaldian Randers metrics of Douglas type are given and the flag curvatures are computed.

description: In this paper we classify all non-Berwaldian Randers metrics of Douglas type arising from invariant hyper-Hermitian metrics on simply connected four-dimensional real Lie groups. Also, the formulas of the flag curvature are given and it is shown that, in some directions, the flag curvature of the Randers metrics and the sectional curvature of the hyper-Hermitian metrics have the same sign.

description: Software-driven wearable technologies are emerging as a control for heat-related illnesses. Such devices collect biometric data and estimate risk noninvasively. However, little is known about workplace implementation strategies and stakeholder acceptance of the devices. As part of a mixed-methods pilot study to evaluate the feasibility of wearable technologies, the authors invited six agricultural workers with no device experience to participate in a semi-structured focus group, after wearing two devices (e.g., MākuSafe, Des Moines, IA, United States; SlateSafety, V2, Atlanta, GA, United States) for a standard work week. The focus group was separated into two parts: the first assessed the overall understanding of heat stress, and the second captured workers’ perceptions of the wearable technologies. For each topic, the authors extracted relevant themes that describe farm workers’ general understanding of heat hazards and worker interaction with wearable technology used in heat-related risk. These themes provide relevant answers to the questions outlined in the semi-structured questionnaire that can guide future research into the use of these devices in occupational settings. Wearable technologies continue to be used to control heat-related illnesses. Therefore, it is critically important to gather key strategies for employer implementation and user-interface considerations.

description: This thesis consists of three chapters, which are works during my PhD study. In the first two chapters, I investigate the estimation of nonparametric and semiparametric econometric models widely used in empirical studies when the data is mismeasured. In the last chapter, my attention moves to the estimation of the effects of the social interactions.
 In Chapter 1, I study the estimation of the nonparametric additive model in the presence of a mismeasured covariate. In such a situation, the conventional method may cause severe bias. Therefore, I propose a new estimator. The estimation procedure is divided into two stages. In the first stage, to adept to the additive structure, I use a series method. And to deal with the ill-posedness brought by the mismeasurement, I introduce a ridge parameter. The convergence rate is then derived for the first stage estimator. For the distributional results required for inference, based on the first stage estimator, I implement the one-step back-fitting with a deconvolution kernel. Asymptotic normality is derived for the second stage estimator.
 Chapter 2 investigates the sharp regression-discontinuity (SRD) design when there is a continuously distributed measurement error in the running variable. In such a situation, the discontinuity at the cut-off disappear completely, and using the conventional SRD method cause severe bias. To overcome this, I develop a new estimator of the average treatment effect at the cut-off. Two separate cases characterized by the observability of the treatment status are considered. In the case of observed treatment status, the proposed estimator is the difference between the deconvolution local linear estimators based on treated and control groups. In the case of unobserved treatment status, the observed running variable cannot be used to divide the sample due to the presence of measurement errors. So, the one-sided kernel functions are implemented, and an additional ridging parameter is introduced for regularization. Asymptotic properties of proposed estimators are derived for both cases.
 Chapter 3 develops a new method to estimate the spillover effects using the factor structure of the variables generating the spillovers. Specifically, we find that such a factor structure implies constraints on the spillovers, which can be utilized to improve the performance of the existing estimator, like LASSO, by adding the factor-induced constraints. The L2 error bound is derived for the proposed estimator. Compared with the unconstrained case, the proposed estimator is more accurate in the sense that it has approximately sharper error bound. Simulation results demonstrate our findings.

description: Structural firefighters are exposed to an array of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) as a result of incomplete combustion of both synthetic and natural materials. PAHs are found in both the particulate and vapor phases in the firefighting environment and are significantly associated with acute and chronic diseases, including cancer. Using a fireground exposure simulator (FES) and standing mannequins dressed in four different firefighter personal protective equipment (PPE) conditions, each with varying levels of protective hood interface and particulate-blocking features, the efficacy of the hoods was assessed against the ingress of PAHs (specifically, naphthalene). The authors also explored the effectiveness of a 100% cotton turtleneck at further attenuating the amount of naphthalene reaching the surface of the mannequin’s neck. Air samples were collected at the breathing zone, abdomen, and thigh heights from the 6 ft-2 in mannequins used in this study. Naphthalene was the most abundant PAH (55% of the total PAH concentrations) in the FES and existed primarily in the vapor phase (92% vapor in the breathing zone). Additionally, bulk base layer and under the base layer polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) filter samples (used as skin surrogates) were collected from the neck region of the mannequins and analyzed for PAHs. A larger percentage of naphthalene was collected on the filter under the traditional knit hoods than on the cotton base layer, suggesting a small protective effect of the base layer against solid-phase naphthalene. Previous studies investigating naphthalene by employing air sampling under PPE have found a larger protective effect of base layers against the ingress of naphthalene vapor. PAHs that exist primarily as particulate in the fire environment were largely not detected on the base layers or PTFE filters under the gear. Further research is needed that involves more sensitive methods and non-static human subjects.
