description: Placenta-derived extracellular vesicles and their cargoes, especially microRNAs (EV-miRNAs), may contribute to fetal and placental development. During pregnancy, the levels of several maternal blood EV-miRNAs, including miRNAs of placental origin, vary among individuals and change throughout gestation. However, the effects of these miRNAs on fetal growth and trimester-specificity have not been fully elucidated. The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that the serum levels of two extracellular vesicles (EV)-miRNAs (miR-127-3p and miR-26b-5p), which may be involved in fetoplacental regulation, would be significantly associated with fetal growth in a trimester-specific manner. This is a single-center birth cohort of maternal serum samples obtained at both the second and third trimesters. To minimize the influence of confounding factors, the analysis was limited to singleton vaginal deliveries, resulting in 27 participants being included in this study. EV RNAs were isolated using a membrane affinity method, and the relative expression levels of miR-127-3p and miR-26b-5p were measured using the RT-qPCR method with miR-484 as control. The associations between the two EV-miRNAs and fetal and placental growth were evaluated using a linear regression model and compared between the two trimesters. EV-miR-127-3p levels tended to correlate inversely with the z-scores of birth weight for gestational age (BWGA) and placental weight for gestational age (PWGA) in the second trimester, but not in the third trimester. EV-miR-26b-5p levels were positively associated with birth weight in the second trimester, but this association was weakened in the third trimester. Our results suggest a trimester-specific association of circulating miRNA levels with fetal and placental growth. The precise roles of EV-miR-127-3p and EV-miR-26b-5p in fetal and placental development warrant further investigation.

Subjects: subject: 000 Computer science, knowledge & systems
subject: 510 Mathematics

description: The main point of interest of this dissertation is to study theories related to the theory ATRo in the realm of second order arithmetic. It is divided into two parts. In Part I, the equivalence of several axiom schemas to (ATR) over ACAo is proven. In particular, so-called reduction principles – also known as separation principles – are discussed. Part I is then concluded with an analysis of set-parameter free variants of ATRo and related systems. In Part II we are interested in set-theoretic analogues of questions that were treated in Part I. To this end, a range of basic set theories featuring the natural numbers as urelements and induction principles on sets and the natural numbers of various strengths are introduced. To interpret set-theoretic objects within second order arithmetic, we adapt the method of representation trees introduced by Jäger and Simpson. Making use of representation trees, the effect on proof-theoretic strength when adding reduction principles to our basic set theories is discussed. Finally, the effect of adding Axiom Beta is examined.

description: This paper explores the question of convergence in total factor productivity (TFP) in agriculture across fourteen major agricultural states oflndia. Using a Tornqvist-Theil index for TFP growth for the period 1973-1993, we find no evidence to support convergence to a single TFP level (a -convergence). After grouping the various states on the basis of their productivity performance, we find that the high-performing states show a gradual movement towards the trend, whereas the low-performing states generally show more volatility. Testing for long-run convergence in levels of agricultural productivity, we find evidence of conditional beta-convergence after controlling for state-specific factors and idiosyncratic year-specific volatility. The results are robust to alternative specifications of tests of unit root in panel data developed recently. © 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

description: We study the quantum propagator in the semiclassical limit with hard-wall potentials. We show that, upon each reflection by the hard wall, a Berry phase $π$ is accumulated and leads to interferences between different classical trajectories. Including the Berry phase caused by the hard walls, the modified Van Vleck's formula is derived. We also discuss the close relations among quantum statistics, discrete gauge symmetry, and hard-wall constraints. Most of all, we formulate a new quantization rule that applies to {\it both} smooth and sharp boundary potentials. It provides an easy way to compute quantized energies in the semiclassical limit and is extremely useful for many physical systems.

description: We present a set of 148 independent $N$-body simulations of globular clusters (GCs) computed using the code $\texttt{CMC}$ ($\texttt{Cluster Monte Carlo}$). At an age of $\sim10-13\,$Gyr, the resulting models cover nearly the full range of cluster properties exhibited by the Milky Way GCs, including total mass, core and half-light radii, metallicity, and galactocentric distance. We use our models to investigate the role that stellar-mass black holes play in the process of core collapse. Furthermore, we study how dynamical interactions affect the formation and evolution of several important types of sources in GCs, including low-mass X-ray binaries, millisecond pulsars, blue stragglers, cataclysmic variables, Type Ia supernovae, calcium-rich transients, and merging compact binaries. While our focus here is on old, low-metallicity GCs, our $\texttt{CMC}$ simulations follow the evolution of clusters over a Hubble time, and they include a wide range of metallicities (up to solar), so that our results can also be used to study younger and higher-metallicity star clusters.

description: The pseudogap phenomena in the cuprate superconductors requires a theory beyond the mean field BCS level. A natural candidate is to include strong pairing fluctuations, and treat the two-particle and single particle Green's functions self-consistently. At the same time, impurities are present in even the cleanest samples of the cuprates. Some impurity effects can help reveal whether the pseudogap has a superconducting origin and thus test various theories. Here we extend the pairing fluctuation theory for a clean system [Phys. Rev. Lett. 81, 4708 (1998)] to the case with nonmagnetic impurities. Both the pairing and the impurity $T$ matrices are included and treated self-consistently. We obtain a set of three equations for the chemical potential $μ$, $T_c$, the excitation gap $Δ(T_c)$ at $T_c$, or $μ$, the order parameter $Δ_{sc}$, and the pseudogap $Δ_{pg}$ at temperature $T

PROCESS IMPROVEMENT FOR SCREENING PATIENTS IN URGENT CARE
Creators: name: Hernandez, Gloria
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: Demands for immediate access to health care has increased the volume of patients that the Urgent Care setting is receiving. Emergency Departments (EDs) and Urgent Care Centers (UCC) provide health care services to patients who walk-in without scheduled appointments. Because some patients present to the UCC experiencing critical or other life-threatening symptoms, it is essential to have an efficient patient screening process in place to be able to identify critical conditions and respond promptly. The purpose of this project was to provide triage nurses with education to enhance triage skills, provide an efficient method of gathering key assessment data during the triage process, and establish a standardized workflow process for triage in the UCC to maximize efficiency and increase patient safety. The new UCC triage process was implemented as a pilot with all clinic registered nurses (RNs) and included an online triage training module and an inperson review of triage assessment training. Additionally, there was a component of the protocol (red flag symptom list) that was reviewed with service representatives as this impacted their check-in workflow. Pre-implementation data revealed that patients who checked in to be seen in Urgent Care and required a triage assessment, were not flagged appropriately. Eleven percent of the patient charts were appropriately identified and documented as “red flag”, which indicated a need for immediate treatment. Eighty-nine percent of the qualifying patients were not triaged. Additionally, triage nurses showed a compliance rate of 43% for appropriate triage documentation. There was a 0% compliance rate for documenting all vital signs. iv Post implementation data showed improvement in all areas. Appropriate flagging of charts occurred at a 42% compliance rate compared to only 11% at baseline. Compliance rate for appropriate use of the documentation template went from 43% to 98% post implementation. Completion of the full set of vital sign documentation compliance rate increased from 0% to 75%. An efficient triage protocol is essential for busy urgent care centers. This project resulted in a change, which increased patient safety in addressing urgent symptoms. It is now time to more widely disseminate this intervention.

description: The overall goal of this study is to determine the extent by which genetically engineered (GE) crops in China can lead to reductions of pesticide use, the nature and source of the reductions, and whether or not there are any non-pecuniary externalities. One of the first studies of the effect of plant biotechnology on poor farmers, the study is based on a data set collected by the authors in 2000 in North China. The paper's descriptive, budget and multivariate analysis find that Bt cotton significantly reduces the number of sprayings, the quantity of pesticides used and the level of pesticide expenditures. All Bt cotton varieties-both those produced by foreign life science companies and those created by China's research system are equally effective. In addition to these input-reducing effects, the paper also demonstrates that such reductions in pesticides also likely lead to labour savings, more efficient overall production, as well as positive health and environmental impacts. © 2003 Elsevier B.V.

description: In the case of a spatially flat Friedmann--Lema\^ıtre--Robertson--Walker universe in $f\left( R\right) $-gravity we write the Wheeler-DeWitt equation of quantum cosmology. The equation depends on the functional form of $f\left( R\right) $. We select to work with four specific functions of $f\left( R\right) $, in which the field equations for the classical models are integrable and solvable through quadratures. For these models, we determine similarity solutions for the Wheeler-DeWitt equation by determine Lie-Bäcklund transformations. In addition we show how the classical limit is recovered by the similarity solutions of the Wheeler-DeWitt equation.

description: A double hurdle statistical analysis of 250 farms in the Tigray region of Ethiopia reveals different causal factors for soil conservation adoption versus intensity of use. Farmers' reasons for adopting soil conservation measures vary sharply between stone terraces and soil bunds. Long-term investments in stone terraces were associated with secure land tenure, labour availability, proximity to the farmstead and learning opportunities via the existence of local food-for-work (FFW) projects. By contrast, short-term investments in soil bunds were strongly linked to insecure land tenure and the absence oflocal food-for-work projects. Public conservation campaigns on private plots reduced adoption of both stone terraces and soil bunds. Whereas capacity factors largely influenced the adoption decision, expected returns carried more influence for the intensity of stone terrace adoption (measured as metres of terrace per hectare). More stone terracing was built where fertile but erodible silty soils in higher rainfall areas offered valuable yield benefits. Intensity of terracing was also greater in remote villages where limited off-farm employment opportunities reduced construction costs. These results highlight the importance of the right kind of public interventions. Direct public involvement in constructing soil conservation structures on private lands appears to undermine incentives for private conservation investments. When done on public lands, however, public conservation activities may encourage private soil conservation by example. Secure land tenure rights clearly reinforce private incentives to make long-term investments in soil conservation. © 2003 Elsevier Science B. V. All rights reserved.

description: The recent discovery of superconductivity in hexagonal iron under pressure poses a question about whether it is of conventional (phonon) or unconventional (magnetic?) origin. We present first-principles calculations of the electron-phonon coupling in iron at $P\agt 15$ GPa, and argue that a conventional mechanism can explain the appearance of superconductivity, but not its rapid disappearance at $P\agt 30$ GPa. We suggest that spin fluctuations, ferro- and/or antiferromagnetic, play a crucial role in superconductivity in this case.

description: The aim of this note is to unveil a striking equivalence between the one-loop divergences in 7D Einstein and 6D Conformal Gravities. The particular combination of 6D pointwise Weyl invariants of the 6D Conformal Gravity corresponds to that of Branson's Q-curvature and can be written solely in terms of the Ricci tensor and its covariant derivatives. The quadratic metric fluctuations of this action, 6D Weyl graviton, are endowed with a sixth-order kinetic operator that happens to factorize on a 6D Einstein background into product of three shifted Lichnerowicz Laplacians. We exploit this feature to use standard heat kernel techniques and work out in one go the UV logarithmic divergences of the theory that contains in this case the four Weyl anomaly coefficients. In a seemingly unrelated computation, we determine the one-loop IR logarithmic divergences of 7D Einstein Gravity in a particular 7D Poincaré-Einstein background that is asymptotically hyperbolic and has the above 6D Einstein manifold at its conformal infinity or boundary. We show the full equivalence of both computations, as an outgrowth of the IR/UV connection in AdS/CFT correspondence, and in this way the time-honoured one-loop calculations in Einstein and higher-derivative gravities take an interesting new turn.

description: Unintentional doping of the active layer is a source for lowered device performance in organic solar cells. The effect of doping is to induce a space-charge region within the active layer, generally resulting in increased recombination losses. In this work, the impact of a doping-induced space-charge region on the current-voltage characteristics of low-mobility solar cell devices has been clarified by means of analytical derivations and numerical device simulations. It is found that, in case of a doped active layer, the collection efficiency of photo-generated charge carriers is independent of the light intensity and exhibits a distinct voltage dependence, resulting in an apparent electric-field dependence of the photocurrent. Furthermore, an analytical expression describing the behavior of the photocurrent is derived. The validity of the analytical model is verified by numerical drift-diffusion simulations and demonstrated experimentally on solution-processed organic solar cells. Based on the theoretical results, conditions of how to overcome charge collection losses caused by doping are discussed. Furthermore, the presented analytical framework provides tools to distinguish between different mechanisms leading to voltage dependent photocurrents.

description: We construct a gauge invariant regularisation scheme for pure SU(N) Yang-Mills theory in fixed dimension four or less (for N = infinity in all dimensions), with a physical cutoff scale Lambda, by using covariant higher derivatives and spontaneously broken SU(N|N) supergauge invariance. Providing their powers are within certain ranges, the covariant higher derivatives cure the superficial divergence of all but a set of one-loop graphs. The finiteness of these latter graphs is ensured by properties of the supergroup and gauge invariance. In the limit Lambda tends to infinity, all the regulator fields decouple and unitarity is recovered in the renormalized pure SU(N) Yang-Mills theory. By demonstrating these properties, we prove that the regularisation works to all orders in perturbation theory.

Numerical Precision Effects on GPU Simulation of Massive Spatial Data, Based on the Modified Planar Rotator Model

description: The present research builds on a recently proposed spatial prediction method for discretized two-dimensional data, based on a suitably modified planar rotator (MPR) spin model from statistical physics. This approach maps the measured data onto interacting spins and, exploiting spatial correlations between them, which are similar to those present in geostatistical data, predicts the data at unmeasured locations. Due to the short-range nature of the spin pair interactions in the MPR model, parallel implementation of the prediction algorithm on graphical processing units (GPUs) is a natural way of increasing its efficiency. In this work we study the effects of reduced computing precision as well as GPU-based hardware intrinsic functions on the speedup and accuracy of the MPR-based prediction and explore which aspects of the simulation can potentially benefit the most from the reduced precision. It is found that, particularly for massive data sets, a thoughtful precision setting of the GPU implementation can significantly increase the computational efficiency, while incurring little to no degradation in the prediction accuracy.

Long-range magnetic interaction due to the Casimir effect

description: The zero-point quantum fluctuations of the electromagnetic field in vacuum are known to give rise to a long-range attractive force between metal plates (Casimir effect). For ferromagnetic layers separated by vacuum, it is shown that the interplay of the Casimir effect and of the magneto-optical Kerr effect gives rise to a long-range magnetic interaction. The Casimir magnetic force is found to decay as $D^{-1}$ in the limit of short distances, and as $D^{-5}$ in the limit of long distances. Explicit expressions for realistic systems are given in the large and small distance limits. An experimental test of the Casimir magnetic interaction is proposed.

description: We make a comparative study of the neutrinoless double beta decay constraints on heavy sterile neutrinos versus other direct and indirect constraints from both lepton number conserving and violating processes, as a sensitive probe of the extent of lepton number violation and possible interference effects in the sterile sector. We introduce a phenomenological parametrisation of the simplified one-generation seesaw model with one active and two sterile neutrino states in terms of experimentally measurable quantities, such as active-sterile neutrino mixing angles, CP phases, masses and mass splittings. This simple parametrisation enables us to analytically derive a spectrum of possible scenarios between the canonical seesaw with purely Majorana heavy neutrinos and inverse seesaw with pseudo-Dirac ones. We then go on to constrain the simplified parameters of this model from various experiments at the energy, intensity and cosmic frontiers. We emphasise that the constraints from lepton number violating processes strongly depend on the mass splitting between the two sterile states and the relative CP phase between them. This is particularly relevant for neutrinoless double beta decay, which is weakened for small mass splitting and opposite CP parities between the sterile states. On the other hand, neutrinoless double beta decay is especially sensitive for Majorana sterile neutrinos with masses around $0.1-10$ GeV.

On the infinite gradient-flow for the domain-wall formulation of chiral lattice gauge theories

description: We examine the proposal by Grabowska and Kaplan (GK) to use the infinite gradient flow in the domain-wall formulation of chiral lattice gauge theories. We consider the case of Abelian theories in detail, for which Lüscher's exact gauge-invariant formulation is known, and we relate GK's formulation to Lüscher's one. The gradient flow can be formulated for the admissible U(1) link fields so that it preserves their topological charges. GK's effective action turns out to be equal to the sum of Lüscher's gauge-invariant effective actions for the target Weyl fermions and the mirror "fluffy" fermions, plus the so-called measureterm integrated along the infinite gradient flow. The measure-term current is originally a local(analytic) and gauge-invariant functional of the admissible link field, given as a solution to the local cohomology problem. However, with the infinite gradient flow, it gives rise to non-local(non-analytic) vertex functions which are not suppressed exponentially at large distance. The "fluffy" fermions remain as a source of non-local contribution, which couple yet to the Wilson-line and magnetic-flux degrees of freedom of the dynamical link field.

Dynamical phase transition in Floquet optical bistable systems: An approach from finite-size quantum systems

description: We study a dynamical phase transition in optical bistable systems subject to a time-periodic driving field. The phase transition occurs in the structure of limit cycle as a function of the frequency of the driving field. In the thermodynamic limit, a single limit cycle is divided into two separated limit cycles at the transition point. In finite-size systems, however, there is always a single limit cycle due to the quantum tunneling effect. We use a Floquet dissipative map, which is a time-evolution operator over one period in a dynamics given by a quantum master equation, and discuss the decay rate of relaxation dynamics into the limit cycle based on the dominant eigenvalue of the map. We found that the decay rate exhibits qualitatively different system-size dependence before and after the phase transition, and it shows a finite-size scaling of spinodal phenomena around the transition point. The present work provides a systematic way of studying dynamical phase transition observed in time-periodically driven open systems in terms of the Floquet dissipative map.

description: The regulation of archaellation, the formation of archaeal-specific cell appendages called archaella, is crucial for the motility, adhesion, and survival of archaeal organisms. Although the heavily archaellated and highly motile Pyrococcus furiosus is a key model organism for understanding the production and function of archaella in Euryarchaea, the transcriptional regulation of archaellum assembly is so far unknown. Here we show that the transcription factor EarA is the master regulator of the archaellum (arl) operon transcription, which is further modulated by intergenic transcription termination signals. EarA deletion or overexpression strains demonstrate that EarA is essential for archaellation in P. furiosus and governs the degree of archaellation. Providing a single-molecule update on the transcriptional landscape of the arl operon in P. furiosus, we identify sequence motifs for EarA binding upstream of the arl operon and intergenic terminator sequences as critical elements for fine-tuning the expression of the multicistronic arl cluster. Furthermore, transcriptome re-analysis across different Thermococcales species demonstrated a heterogeneous production of major archaellins, suggesting a more diverse composition of archaella than previously recognized. Overall, our study provides novel insights into the transcriptional regulation of archaellation and highlights the essential role of EarA in Pyrococcus furiosus. These findings advance our understanding of the mechanisms governing archaellation and have implications for the functional diversity of archaella.

description: Relational factors between supply chain actors have been acknowledged to contribute significantly to competitiveness. With the example of the German market for organic apples the suitability of the concept of the Relational View for explaining competitiveness was investigated. Structured interviews were conducted with selected actors of the supply chain. Actors at all levels of the supply chain proved to be highly committed and described their business relations as satisfying and trustful. Strong vertical and horizontal collaboration was found. Thus, the Relational View proved to be highly suitable to explain competitiveness in the market for organic apples.
