description: Aim: Wearable cardioverter defibrillator (WCD, LifeVest, and Zoll) therapy has become a useful tool to bridge a temporarily increased risk for sudden cardiac death. However, despite extensive use, there is a lack of evidence whether patients with myocarditis and impaired LVEF may benefit from treatment with a WCD. Methods and results: We conducted a single-centre retrospective observational study analysing patients with a WCD prescribed between September 2015 and April 2020 at our institution. In total, 135 patients were provided with a WCD, amongst these 76 patients (mean age 48.9 +/- 13.7 years; 84.2% male) for clinically suspected myocarditis. Based on the results of the endomyocardial biopsy and, where available cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, 39 patients (51.3%) were diagnosed with myocarditis and impaired LVEF and 37 patients (48.7%) with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) without evidence of cardiac inflammation. The main immunohistopathological myocarditis subtype was lymphocytic myocarditis in 36 (92.3%) patients, and four patients (10.3%) of this group had an acute myocarditis. Three patients had cardiac sarcoidosis (7.7%). Ventricular tachycardia occurred in seven myocarditis (in total 41 VTs; 85.4% non-sustained) and one DCM patients (in total one non-sustained ventricular tachycardia). Calculated necessary WCD wearing time until ventricular tachycardia occurrence is 86.41 days in myocarditis compared with 6.46 years in DCM patients. Conclusions: Our data suggest that myocarditis patients may benefit from WCD therapy. However, as our study is not powered for outcome, further randomized studies powered for the outcome morbidity and mortality are necessary.

description: Objective: This scoping review aims to understand the extent and type of evidence in relation to exercise interventions delivered in treatment and rehabilitation settings for women with drug dependence problem. Introduction: Systematic reviews and meta-analyses that review the summary effects of different exercise interventions on drug addiction-related outcomes are available in the literature. Yet, these reviews focused on the impact of physical exercise intervention on specific outcomes. To date, no review has systematically map exercise intervention research conducted in treatment and rehabilitation settings for the women drug addicts subgroup. Inclusion criteria: Any published studies that investigated women with drug dependence problem, who have undergone physical exercise intervention, in treatment and rehabilitation settings will be included. Mindfulness-based intervention with minimal physical exercise movement component will be excluded. Methods: This is a scoping review using the methodological framework proposed by Arksey and O'Malley. Two independent researchers will search for literature that meets the inclusion criteria through the six electronic databases: CINHAL, Ovid (Medline), Web of Science, Scopus, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro). Any discrepancies of the eligibility for inclusion will be resolved by discussion with a third researcher. Reference lists of all identified literature will be manually reviewed to ensure a comprehensive search and to identify additional sources. Data will be synthesized using a narrative synthesis approach.

description: Characterizing critical current IC of Nb3Sn strands as function of a strain is very important for large high field superconducting magnet applications such as the superconducting outsert coil of the series-connected hybrid at the NHMFL and the ITER magnets. Apparatuses for measuring IC versus longitudinal strain and transverse stress have been developed and used at the NHMFL. We have characterized the IC strain sensitivities of a few candidate strands for the series-connected-hybrid. In addition, IC irreversibility strains are measured for the recently developed ITER high JC strands. The different strain sensitivities for different strands are discussed.

description: Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) manifesting in asymmetric layered ferromagnetic films gives rise to non-colinear spin structures stabilizing magnetization configurations with nontrivial topology. In this work magnetization reversal, domain structure, and strength of DMI are related with the structure of W/Co/Pt multilayers grown by molecular beam epitaxy. Applied growth method enables fabrication of layered systems with higher crystalline quality than commonly applied sputtering techniques. As a result, a high value of D coefficient was determined from the aligned magnetic domain stripe structure, substantially exceeding 2 mJ/m2. The highest value of DMI value D$_{eff}$ = 2.64mj/m2 and strength of surface DMI parameter DS = 1.83pJ/m for N=10 has been observed. Experimental results coincide precisely with those obtained from structure based micromagnetic modelling and density functional theory calculations performed for well-defined layered stacks. This high value of DMI strength originates from dominating contributions of the interfacial atomic Co layers and additive character from both interface types.

description: Let $M$ be a compact Riemannian manifold without boundary and $V:M\to \mathbb R$ a smooth function. Denote by $P_t$ and ${\rm d}μ=e^V\,{\rm d} x$ the semigroup and symmetric measure of the second order differential operator $L=Δ+\nabla V\cdot\nabla$. For some suitable convex function $Φ:{\mathcal I}\to\mathbb R$ defined on an interval $\mathcal I$, we consider the $Φ$-entropy of $P_t f$ (with respect to $μ$) for any $f\in C^\infty(M,\mathcal I)$. We show that an integral form curvature-dimension condition is equivalent to an estimate on the rate of change of the $Φ$-entropy. We also generalize this result to bounded smooth domains of a complete Riemannian manifold.

description: An investigation of the IRAS 16148-5011 region - a cluster at a distance of 3.6 kpc - is presented here, carried out using multiwavelength data in near-infrared (NIR) from the 1.4m Infrared Survey Facility telescope, mid-infrared (MIR) from the archival Spitzer GLIMPSE survey, far-infrared (FIR) from the Herschel archive, and low-frequency radio continuum observations at 1280 and 843 MHz from the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT) and Molonglo Survey archive, respectively. A combination of NIR and MIR data is used to identify 7 Class I and 133 Class II sources in the region. Spectral Energy Distribution (SED) analysis of selected sources reveals a 9.6 Msolar, high-mass source embedded in nebulosity. However, Lyman continuum luminosity calculation using radio emission - which shows a compact HII, region - indicates the spectral type of the ionizing source to be earlier than B0-O9.5. Free-free emission SED modelling yields the electron density as 138 cm^{-3}, and thus the mass of the ionized hydrogen as ~16.4 Msolar. Thermal dust emission modelling, using the FIR data from Herschel and performing modified blackbody fits, helped us construct the temperature and column density maps of the region, which show peak values of 30 K and 3.3x10^{22} cm^{-2}, respectively. The column density maps reveal an AV > 20 mag extinction associated with the nebular emission, and weak filamentary structures connecting dense clumps. The clump associated with this IRAS object is found to have dimensions of ~1.1 pc x 0.8 pc, and a mass of 1023 Msolar.

description: In flat spacetime, the Dirac equation is the "square root" of the Klein-Gordon equation in the sense that by applying the square of the Dirac operator to the Dirac spinor, one recovers the Klein-Gordon equation duplicated for each component of the spinor. In the presence of gravity, applying the square of the curved-spacetime Dirac operator to the Dirac spinor does not yield the curved-spacetime Klein-Gordon equation, but yields, instead, the Schrödinger-Dirac covariant equation. First, we show that the latter equation gives rise to a generalization to spinors of the covariant Gross-Pitaevskii equation. Next, we show that while the Schrödinger-Dirac equation is not conformally invariant, there exists a generalization of the equation that is conformally invariant but which requires a different conformal transformation of the spinor than the one required by the Dirac equation. The new conformal factor acquired by the spinor is found to be a matrix-valued factor obeying a differential equation that involves the Fock-Ivanenko line element. The Schrödinger-Dirac equation coupled to the Maxwell field is then revisited and generalized to particles with higher electric and magnetic moments while respecting gauge symmetry. Finally, Lichnerowicz's vanishing theorem in the conformal frame is also discussed.

description: In the face of mounting numerical evidence, Metlitski and Grover [arXiv:1112.5166] have given compelling analytical arguments that systems with spontaneous broken continuous symmetry contain a sub-leading contribution to the entanglement entropy that diverges logarithmically with system size. They predict that the coefficient of this log is a universal quantity that depends on the number of Goldstone modes. In this paper, we confirm the presence of this log term through quantum Monte Carlo calculations of the second Rényi entropy on the spin 1/2 XY model. Devising an algorithm to facilitate convergence of entropy data at extremely low temperatures, we demonstrate that the single Goldstone mode in the ground state can be identified through the coefficient of the log term. Furthermore, our simulation accuracy allows us to obtain an additional geometric constant additive to the Rényi entropy, that matches a predicted fully-universal form obtained from a free bosonic field theory with no adjustable parameters.

description: Poorly understood feedback processes associated with highly-luminous black hole accretion in quasars may dramatically affect the properties of their host galaxies. We search for the effect of quasar feedback on surrounding gas using Planck maps of the thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect (tSZ). By stacking tSZ Compton-y maps centered on the locations of 26,686 spectroscopic quasars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, we detect a strong but unresolved tSZ Compton-y signal at >5 sigma significance that likely originates from a combination of virialized halo atmosphere gas and quasar feedback effects. We show that the feedback contribution to our detected quasar tSZ signal is likely to dominate over virialized halo gas by isolating the feedback tSZ component for high- and low-redshift quasars. We find that this quasar tSZ signal also scales with black hole mass and bolometric luminosity, all consistent with general expectations of quasar feedback. We estimate the mean angularly-integrated Compton-y of quasars at z~1.5 to be 3.5x10^-6 Mpc^2, corresponding to mean total thermal energies in feedback and virialized halo gas of 1.1(+/- 0.2) x 10^62 erg, and discuss the implications for quasar feedback. If confirmed, the large total thermal feedback energetics we estimate of 5% (+/-1% statistical uncertainty) of the black hole mass will have important implications for the effects of quasar feedback on the host galaxy, as well as the surrounding intergalactic medium.

description: Food delivery systems are gaining popularity recently due to the expansion of internet connectivity and for the increasing availability of devices. The growing popularity of such systems has raised concerns regarding (i) Information security, (ii) Business to business (B2B) deep discounting race, and (iii) Strict policy enforcement. Sensitive personal data and financial information of the users must be safeguarded. Additionally, in pursuit of gaining profit, the restaurants tend to offer deep discounts resulting in a higher volume of orders than usual. Therefore, the restaurants and the delivery persons fail to maintain the delivery time and often impair the food quality. In this paper, we have proposed a blockchain and smart contract-based food delivery system to address these issues. The main goal is to remove commission schemes and decrease service delays caused by a high volume of orders. The protocols have been deployed and tested on the Ethereum test network. The simulation manifests a successful implementation of our desired system; with the payment being controlled by our system. The actors (restaurant, delivery-person or consumer) are bound to be compliant with the policies or penalized otherwise.

description: Scholars who want to research a scientific topic must take time to read, extract meaning, and identify connections across many papers. As scientific literature grows, this becomes increasingly challenging. Meanwhile, authors summarize prior research in papers' related work sections, though this is scoped to support a single paper. A formative study found that while reading multiple related work paragraphs helps overview a topic, it is hard to navigate overlapping and diverging references and research foci. In this work, we design a system, Relatedly, that scaffolds exploring and reading multiple related work paragraphs on a topic, with features including dynamic re-ranking and highlighting to spotlight unexplored dissimilar information, auto-generated descriptive paragraph headings, and low-lighting of redundant information. From a within-subjects user study (n=15), we found that scholars generate more coherent, insightful, and comprehensive topic outlines using Relatedly compared to a baseline paper list.

description: Advances on no-insulation REBCO coil technology has made understanding and controlling contact resistivity increasingly im-portant. Praffin (wax) impregnation is a process that has been used for improving mechanical stability of insulated and no-insulation REBCO coils. Wax impregnation is beneficial in both no-insulation coils and insulated coils with additional copper sta-bilizer or multiple conductors. In the latter scenario, contact re-sistance between conductor and additional stabilizer is also im-portant. It is crucial to understand the effects of wax impregna-tion on contact resistivity (Rct). We designed and built an appa-ratus to use short REBCO samples which simulates the behavior of Rct in a pancake coil during the wax impregnation process. Rct was measured at 77 K before and after the wax impregnation. In addition, a single pancake coil was wound to test the effect of wax impregnation. This coil simulates the NHMFL 32 T magnet Coil A in winding stresses. Rct was measured at 77 K and 4.2 K before and after wax impregnation. We found that wax impregnation does not significantly change contact resistivity. This means that wax impregnation can be used in coils without compromising the current sharing ability between turns. The experimental process and results are discussed.

description: We present a multi-lattice kinetic Monte Carlo (kMC) approach that efficiently describes the atomistic dynamics of morphological transitions between commensurate structures at crystal surfaces. As an example we study the reduction of a $(\sqrt{5}\times \sqrt{5})R27^{\circ}$ PdO(101) overlayer on Pd(100) in a CO atmosphere. Extensive density-functional theory calculations are used to establish an atomistic pathway for the oxide reduction process. First-principles multi-lattice kMC simulations on the basis of this pathway fully reproduce the experimental temperature dependence of the reduction rate [Fernandes et al., Surf. Sci. 2014, 621, 31-39] and highlight the crucial role of elementary processes special to the boundary between oxide and metal domains.

title: Characterizing Relational Values to Inform Message-Framing at the Boa Ogoi Historical Site
Creators: name: Stocker, Cole G.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2021

description: In an increasingly polarized political climate–particularly in the U.S.– environmental issues such as climate change and its effects on the environment have become hot-button partisan talking points resulting in further division. This has led to research on ways to communicate science which does not further inflame political tensions, but rather reinforces and validates the audience’s values. Science communication research provides the foundation for my case study, which focuses on characterizing the environmental values and worldviews of land managers residing and working near the Boa Ogoi Historical Site in southern Idaho. The Northwest Band of Shoshone Nation (NWBSN) is in the process of building a cultural interpretive center at Boa Ogoi, as well as restoring the land surrounding the site of the 1863 Bear River Massacre to ecological conditions similar to the years before the event. The Tribe has shown interest in working with their neighbors, particularly those upstream. This could help them achieve larger restoration goals for Boa Ogoi, particularly improving the highly degraded water quality on the site. This research seeks to inform the Tribe’s and the Tribe’s restoration collaborators’ communication efforts with upstream landmanagers. My first study uses interview data with 12 nearby land managers to identify important values underlying the relationship that local land stewards have with the management of their land. I compare these values with a profile of the dominant political and religious groups of the area. Interview participants largely identify as land stewards who feel a responsibility to care for land as well as their communities. In my second study, data from my interviews highlighted important plant and animal species in the region, specifically beaver, mule deer, elk, and Russian olive. My analysis of the relationships that landowners have with these species shows that they manage them largely out of a sense of responsibility to their neighbors and community, as well as a responsibility to future generations. Many of the study participants were members of families who had resided in the area for multiple generations, which gives many of them knowledge of and preferences related to managing these species. Understanding how these individuals value the species in question could be important for building working relationships between the Tribe and their neighbors, such as collaborative invasive species management and a collective effort to improve habitat for valued game species like mule deer.

description: The search for new large band gap quantum spin Hall (QSH) and quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) insulators is critical for their realistic applications at room temperature. Here we predict, based on first principles calculations, that the band gap of QSH and QAH states can be as large as 1.01 eV and 0.35 eV in an H-decorated Bi(111) film. The origin of this giant band gap lies both in the large spin-orbit interaction of Bi and the H-mediated exceptional electronic and structural properties. Moreover, we find that the QAH state also possesses the properties of quantum valley Hall state, thus intrinsically realising the so-called valley-polarized QAH effect. We further investigate the realization of large gap QSH and QAH states in an H-decorated Bi(\={1}10) film and X-decorated (X=F, Cl, Br, and I) Bi(111) films.

description: We show that the convolution of a compactly supported measure on $\mathbb{R}$ with a Gaussian measure satisfies a logarithmic Sobolev inequality (LSI). We use this result to give a new proof of a classical result in random matrix theory that states that, under certain hypotheses, the empirical law of eigenvalues of a sequence of random real symmetric matrices converges weakly in probability to its mean. We then examine the optimal constants in the LSIs for the convolved measures in terms of the variance of the convolving Gaussian. We conclude with partial results on the extension of our main theorem to higher dimensions.

description: Glass is very common in our daily life. Existing computer vision systems neglect it and thus may have severe consequences, e.g., a robot may crash into a glass wall. However, sensing the presence of glass is not straightforward. The key challenge is that arbitrary objects/scenes can appear behind the glass. In this paper, we propose an important problem of detecting glass surfaces from a single RGB image. To address this problem, we construct the first large-scale glass detection dataset (GDD) and propose a novel glass detection network, called GDNet-B, which explores abundant contextual cues in a large field-of-view via a novel large-field contextual feature integration (LCFI) module and integrates both high-level and low-level boundary features with a boundary feature enhancement (BFE) module. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our GDNet-B achieves satisfying glass detection results on the images within and beyond the GDD testing set. We further validate the effectiveness and generalization capability of our proposed GDNet-B by applying it to other vision tasks, including mirror segmentation and salient object detection. Finally, we show the potential applications of glass detection and discuss possible future research directions.

description: In order to help scholars understand and follow a research topic, significant research has been devoted to creating systems that help scholars discover relevant papers and authors. Recent approaches have shown the usefulness of highlighting relevant authors while scholars engage in paper discovery. However, these systems do not capture and utilize users' evolving knowledge of authors. We reflect on the design space and introduce ComLittee, a literature discovery system that supports author-centric exploration. In contrast to paper-centric interaction in prior systems, ComLittee's author-centric interaction supports curation of research threads from individual authors, finding new authors and papers with combined signals from a paper recommender and the curated authors' authorship graphs, and understanding them in the context of those signals. In a within-subjects experiment that compares to an author-highlighting approach, we demonstrate how ComLittee leads to a higher efficiency, quality, and novelty in author discovery that also improves paper discovery.

description: As of today, the best accuracy in line segment detection (LSD) is achieved by algorithms based on convolutional neural networks - CNNs. Unfortunately, these methods utilize deep, heavy networks and are slower than traditional model-based detectors. In this paper we build an accurate yet fast CNN- based detector, LSDNet, by incorporating a lightweight CNN into a classical LSD detector. Specifically, we replace the first step of the original LSD algorithm - construction of line segments heatmap and tangent field from raw image gradients - with a lightweight CNN, which is able to calculate more complex and rich features. The second part of the LSD algorithm is used with only minor modifications. Compared with several modern line segment detectors on standard Wireframe dataset, the proposed LSDNet provides the highest speed (among CNN-based detectors) of 214 FPS with a competitive accuracy of 78 Fh . Although the best-reported accuracy is 83 Fh at 33 FPS, we speculate that the observed accuracy gap is caused by errors in annotations and the actual gap is significantly lower. We point out systematic inconsistencies in the annotations of popular line detection benchmarks - Wireframe and York Urban, carefully reannotate a subset of images and show that (i) existing detectors have improved quality on updated annotations without retraining, suggesting that new annotations correlate better with the notion of correct line segment detection; (ii) the gap between accuracies of our detector and others diminishes to negligible 0.2 Fh , with our method being the fastest.

description: Complexity and limited knowledge render it impractical to write down the equations describing a cellular system completely. Cellular biophysics uses hypotheses-based modelling instead. How can we set up models with predictive power beyond the experimental examples used to develop them? The two textbook systems of cellular biophysics, Ca2+ signalling and neuronal membrane potential dynamics, both face this question. Both systems also have a non-equilibrium feature in common: on different time scales and for different observables, they exhibit stochastic spiking, i.e., sequences of stereotypical events that are separated by statistically distributed intervals, the interspike intervals (ISI). Here we review recent progress on the description of Ca2+ spikes in terms of blips, puffs and cellular Ca2+ spikes and focus on stochastic models that can explain the statistics of the single ISIs, in particular its mean and variance and the cell-to-cell variability of these statistics. We also review models of the stochastic integrate-and-fire type and measures like the spike-train power spectrum or the serial correlation coefficient that are used to describe neuronal spike trains. These concepts from computational neuroscience might be applicable for understanding long-term memory effects in Ca2+ spiking that extend beyond a single ISI, such as cumulative refractoriness.
The Limits of Thermoelectric Performance with a Bounded Transport Distribution

description: With the goal of maximizing the thermoelectric (TE) figure of merit $ZT$, Mahan and Sofo [Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 93, 7436 (1996)] found that the optimal transport distribution (TD) is a delta function. Materials, however, have TDs that appear to always be finite and non-diverging. Motivated by this observation, this study focuses on deriving what is the optimal bounded TD, which is determined to be a boxcar function for $ZT$ and a Heaviside function for power factor. From these optimal TDs upper limits on $ZT$ and power factor are obtained; the maximum $ZT$ scales with $Σ_{\rm max} T /κ_l$, where $Σ_{\rm max}$ is the TD magnitude and $κ_l$ is the lattice thermal conductivity. These results help establish practical upper limits on the performance of TE materials and provide target TDs to guide band/scattering engineering strategies.

description: We present the spectroscopic confirmation of a $z=2.45$ proto-cluster. Its member galaxies lie within a radius of 1.4Mpc (physical) on the sky and within $Δv \pm 700$km/s along the line of sight. We estimate an overdensity of 10, suggesting that the structure has made the turn-around but is not assembled yet. Comparison to the Millennium simulation suggests that analogous structures evolve into $10^{14}-10^{15}$M$_{\odot}$/h type dark matter haloes by $z=0$ qualifying the notion of "proto-cluster". The search for the complete census of mock progenitor galaxies at $z\sim2.5$ of these massive $z=0$ mock clusters reveals that they are widely spread over areas with a diameter of 3-20Mpc. This suggests that the optical selection of such proto-clusters can result in a rich diversity regarding their $z=0$ descendants. We also searched for signs of environmental differentiation in this proto-cluster. Whilst we see a weak trend for more massive and more quiescent galaxies in the proto-cluster, this is not statistically significant.

description: We report the emergence of bulk superconductivity in Au64.0Ge22.0Yb14.0 and Au63.5Ge20.5Yb16.0 below 0.68 and 0.36 K, respectively. This is the first observation of superconductivity in Tsai-type crystalline approximants of quasicrystals. The Tsai-type cluster center is occupied by Au and Ge ions in the former approximant, and by an Yb ion in the latter. For magnetism, the latter system shows a larger magnetization than the former. To explain this observation, we propose a model that the cluster-center Yb ion is magnetic. The relationship between the magnetism and the superconductivity is also discussed.

description: Development of tribal is very complicated issue for the government as it need full attention from place to place and state to state. However, the problem is that, the government only see the development of tribal issue is only affected due to poverty and most of the programmes and policies implemented either to remove poverty or for the economic development. But the complex is that, there are other factors are also, in which tribal seeking government help to protect and preserve their ethnic identity, language, culture, norms and practices or belief etc. Only economic development would be utterly inadequate as they are face several problem to protect their identity from external influences (dikus and government). Since Independence, development of tribal people has always been an major concern in India. For this, the Indian Government has taken up many challenging tasks by implementing related programmes, policies and provisions from the Constitution. These initiatives have been carried out with an aim to start working from the ground level so as to provide equality and social justice to the underprivileged or scheduled tribe people. The most important rationale and object of such initiatives are to ameliorate their socio-economic conditions. That said, even after 70 year of India’s independence, the conditions of the tribal groups, in most cases, have not seen visible improvements and still constitute a weaker section of the Indian society. This could be seen from ecological, economy and educational angles. It is very unfortunate that the adopted policies, programmes and plans have not seeped deep into these underprivileged sections of the society as they are often squandered by the top echelons of the concerned authorities. For instance, in every five year plan, government of India has made so many policies and programmes to eliminate poverty, illiteracy, equality, unemployment, prostitution, trafficking, child labour, bonded labour, untouchability, violence in domestic help, naxalism, land acquisition etc., but all these have remained as mere words on paper without any substantial outcome. With these aspects in mind, I would to analyze all the major policies, programme and constitutional provisions which have been implemented from time to time for the upkeep of the tribal people in India. Furthermore, in this paper, I would like to highlight and discuss the reasons behind the failure of the aforementioned programmes, policies and strategies. As a result of the improper implementation of the mentioned policies, schemes and programmes, the tribal citizens of India have been practically deprived of many civic facilities and are isolated from the modern and civilized way of living since so many decades.

description: We present a multi-instrument study of the two precursor brightenings prior to the M6.5 flare (SOL2015-06-22T18:23) in the NOAA Active Region 12371, with a focus on the temperature (T), electron number density (n), and emission measure (EM). The data used in this study were obtained from four instruments with a variety of wavelengths, i.e., the Solar Dynamics Observatory's Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA), in six extreme ultraviolet (EUV) passbands; the Expanded Owens Valley Solar Array (EOVSA) in microwave (MW); the Reuven Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager (RHESSI) in hard X-rays (HXR); and the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) in soft X-rays (SXR). We compare the temporal variations of T, n, and EM derived from the different data sets. Here are the key results. (1) GOES SXR and AIA EUV have almost identical EM variations (1.5-3x10^48 per cm^3) and very similar T variations, from 8 to 15 million Kelvin (MK). (2) Listed from highest to lowest, EOVSA MW provides the highest temperature variations (15-60 MK), followed by RHESSI HXR (10-24 MK), then GOES SXR and AIA EUV (8-15 MK). (3) The EM variation from the RHESSI HXR measurements is always less than the values from AIA EUV and GOES SXR by at most 20 times. The number density variation from EOVSA MW is greater than the value from AIA EUV by at most 100 times. The results quantitatively describe the differences in the thermal parameters at the precursor phase, as measured by different instruments operating at different wavelength regimes and for different emission mechanisms.
