description: Vortex-mediated mutual friction governs the coupling between the superfluid and normal components in neutron star interiors. By, for example, comparing precise timing observations of pulsar glitches with theoretical predictions it is possible to constrain the physics in the interior of the star, but to do so an accurate model of the mutual friction coupling in general relativity is needed. We derive such a model directly from Carter's multifluid formalism, and study the vortex structure and coupling time-scale between the components in a relativistic star. We calculate how general relativity modifies the shape and the density of the quantized vortices and show that, in the quasi-Schwarzschild coordinates, they can be approximated as straight lines for realistic neutron star configurations. Finally, we present a simple universal formula (given as a function of the stellar compactness alone) for the relativistic correction to the glitch rise-time, which is valid under the assumption that the superfluid reservoir is in a thin shell in the crust or in the outer core. This universal relation can be easily employed to correct, a posteriori, any Newtonian estimate for the coupling time-scale, without any additional computational expense.

description: Social accounting matrix (SAM) models have become standard methods to provide quantitative economic impact evaluation. SAM models and methods have a wide body of literature and dates back several decades. In recent years there has been a growing interest in using interregional and multiregional SAM models. IMPLAN provides data necessary, in a convenient format, to construct single-region SAM models. Procedures of the use of IMPLAN data in concert with BEA’s “journey-to-work” commuting flows and data from the Commodity Flow Survey (CFS) collected by the Census Bureau and compiled by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics to construct state-level multiregional SAM models has been demonstrated. However, little research exists concerning the creation of multiregional SAM models at geographic scales lower than states, especially the roll that interregional trade plays in the accuracy of these models. This paper evaluates sensitivity of multiregional SAM multipliers to the procedures used to estimate interregional trade flows.

description: We apply a recently developed scaling procedure to the analysis of equilibrium magnetization M(H) data that were obtained for T-2212 and Bi-2212single crystals and were reported in the literature. The temperature dependencies of the upper critical field and the magnetic field penetration depth resulting from our analysis are distinctly different from those obtained in the original publications. We argue that theoretical models, which are usually employed for analyses of the equilibrium magnetization in the mixed state of type-II superconductors are not adequate for a quantitative description of high-Tc superconductors. In addition, we demonstrate that the scaled equilibrium magnetization M(H) curve for a Tl-2212 sample reveals a pronounced kink, suggesting a phase transition in the mixed state.

description: Standard care in severe SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia complicated by severe dyspnea and respiratory failure, consists of symptom reduction, ultimately supported by mechanical ventilation. Patients with severe SARS-CoV-2, a prominent feature of COVID-19, show several similar symptoms to Critical Asthma Syndrome (CAS) patients, such as pulmonary edema, mucus plugging of distal airways, decreased tissue oxygenation, (emergent) exhaustion due to severe dyspnea and respiratory failure. Prior application of elective phosphodiesterase (PDE)3-inhibitors milrinone and enoximone in patients with CAS yielded rapid symptomatic relief and reverted the need for mechanical ventilation, due to their bronchodilator and anti-inflammatory properties. Based on these observations, we hypothesized that enoximone may be beneficial in the treatment of patients with severe SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia and prominent CAS-features. In this case report enoximone was administered to four consecutive patients (1 M; 3 F; 46–70 y) with emergent respiratory failure due to SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia. Clinical outcome was compared with three controls who received standard care only. After an intravenous bolus of enoximone 20 mg followed by 10 mg/h via perfusor, a rapid symptomatic relief was observed: two out of four patients recovered within a few hours, the other two (with comorbid COPD GOLD II/III) responded within 24–36 h. Compared to the controls, in the enoximone-treated patients respiratory failure and further COVID-19-related deterioration was reverted and mechanical ventilation was prevented, leading to reduced hospital/ICU time. Our preliminary observations suggest that early intervention with the selective PDE3-inhibitor enoximone may help to revert respiratory failure as well as avert mechanical ventilation, and reduces ICU/hospital time in patients with severe SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia. Our findings warrant further research on the therapeutic potential of PDE3-inhibition, alone or in combination with other anti-COVID-19 strategies.

description: Since the invention of chirped pulse amplification, which was recognized by a Nobel prize in physics in 2018, there has been a continuing increase in available laser intensity. Combined with advances in our understanding of the kinetics of relativistic plasma, studies of laser-plasma interactions are entering a new regime where the physics of relativistic plasmas is strongly affected by strong-field quantum electrodynamics (QED) processes, including hard photon emission and electron-positron ($e^+$-$e^-$) pair production. This coupling of quantum emission processes and relativistic collective particle dynamics can result in dramatically new plasma physics phenomena, such as the generation of dense $e^+$-$e^-$ pair plasma from near vacuum, complete laser energy absorption by QED processes or the stopping of an ultrarelativistic electron beam, which could penetrate a cm of lead, by a hair's breadth of laser light. In addition to being of fundamental interest, it is crucial to study this new regime to understand the next generation of ultra-high intensity laser-matter experiments and their resulting applications, such as high energy ion, electron, positron, and photon sources for fundamental physics studies, medical radiotherapy, and next generation radiography for homeland security and industry.

description: The rapid expansion of Internet of Vehicles (IoV) deployments has necessitated the creation of efficient and secure routing models to manage the massive data traffic generated by interconnected devices & vehicles. For IoV deployments, we propose a novel fan-shaped trust-based routing model with Quality of Service (QoS) and security-aware side-chaining. Our method employs temporal levels of delay, throughput, Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR), and energy consumption to determine optimal routing paths, thereby ensuring efficient data transmissions. We employ the Bacterial Foraging Optimizer (BFO) algorithm to manage side-chains within the network, which dynamically adjusts side-chain configurations to optimize system performance. The technique of fan-shaped clustering is used to group nodes into efficient clusters, allowing for more efficient communication and resource utilization sets. Extensive experimentation and performance analysis are utilized to evaluate the proposed model. Existing blockchain-based security models have been significantly improved by our findings. Our model achieves a remarkable 9.5% reduction in delay, a 10.5% improvement in throughput, a 2.9% improvement in PDR, and a 4.5% reduction in energy consumption compared to alternative approaches. In addition, we evaluate the model's resistance to Sybil, Masquerading, and Flooding attacks, which are prevalent security threats for IoV deployments. Even under these attack scenarios, our model provides consistently higher QoS levels compared to existing solutions, ensuring uninterrupted and reliable data transmissions. In IoV deployments, the proposed routing model and side-chaining management approach have numerous applications and use-cases like Smart cities, industrial automation, healthcare systems, transportation networks, and environmental monitoring.

description: The present study investigates the impact on net state in-migration over the 2000-2004 period of a variety of economic and non-economic factors. The empirical estimates indicate that the net state in-migration rate was an increasing function of median family income and the previous-period employment growth rate on the one hand and a decreasing function of the cost of living. In addition, net state in-migration was an increasing function of the warmer temperatures, while being a decreasing function of the presence of hazardous waste sites and pollution in the form of toxic chemical releases. Finally, net state in-migration was an increasing function of state plus local government spending per pupil on primary and secondary education and a decreasing function of the state individual income tax burden.

This raise the question of whether age status overwhelm the susceptibility to smoking induced lung inflammatory diseases and neuro-motor dysfunctions. To study the hypothesis 11–12 month old aged wistar rats (n = 6) were administered cigarette smoke extract (CSE) through intraperitoneal route (0.5 ml/rat) twice a week for 2 months. Respiratory lung functions were measured through whole body plethysmography. Lung histopathological evaluation and neuronal degeneration were observed by using H&E, picrosirius red and nissl staining respectively. Motor function tests were done through panel of neuro-behavioral tests and protein expressions were performed in lung and brain tissue homogenates through western blotting. Sub-chronic CSE exposure worsened the lung functions including decreased tidal volume (p p p p p So in conclusion, chronic cigarette smoking in old age creates susceptibility to fast onset of lung inflammatory diseases and neuro-motor retardation than their nonsmoker counterparts.

description: Studies on welfare programs in the United States have identified three types of welfare migration (employment, benefit, and amenity-related). This paper introduces a fourth type of migration induced by welfare time limits. After a welfare-dependent family runs out of benefits, it is possible for them to reset the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families time clock by crossing state lines to extend their benefits. Our theoretical results suggest that the likelihood of migration increases if the migration distance is small or the gain from the move is large. We hypothesize that, ceteris paribus, families migrating in order to extend their benefits will minimize the distance they migrate, and will be likely to move into the nearest state, especially into counties just across the state border. We utilize macro data at the county level to look for evidence of time-limit induced migration. Estimates indicate that time limits may be associated with an increase in welfare migration.
Decidable Tag-Based Semantic Subtyping for Nominal Types, Tuples, and Unions

description: Semantic subtyping enables simple, set-theoretical reasoning about types by interpreting a type as the set of its values. Previously, semantic subtyping has been studied primarily in the context of statically typed languages with structural typing. In this paper, we explore the applicability of semantic subtyping in the context of a dynamic language with nominal types. Instead of static type checking, dynamic languages rely on run-time checking of type tags associated with values, so we propose using the tags for semantic subtyping. We base our work on a fragment of the Julia language and present tag-based semantic subtyping for nominal types, tuples, and unions, where types are interpreted set-theoretically, as sets of type tags. The proposed subtyping relation is shown to be decidable, and a corresponding analytic definition is provided. The implications of using semantic subtyping for multiple dispatch are also discussed.

description: Geological Survey of Saxony-Anhalt, Germany

Three-dimensional geological modelling is usually constraint by seismic and borehole data. However, in geological settings of high complexity and sparse, restricted or ambiguous available information additional geoscientific data and methods have to be considered. For this purpose, the incorporation of gravity data holds enormous potential to improve structural interpretations and allows for cross-validation and harmonization of geological models. Herein, we demonstrate an integrated approach of gravity interpretation and modelling to refine an existing geological 3D SKUA-GOCAD model in the south of the North German Basin (Saxony-Anhalt/Brandenburg cross-border region).

description: Spatial equilibrium models rely on migration to arbitrage away differences in utility across locations net of moving costs, where remaining differences in wages and rents reflect the compensating differentials related to site-specific amenities. Recent refinements to the spatial equilibrium model focus upon the prospect of disequilibrium in amenity markets. Amenity market disequilibrium implies over- or under-compensation (incomplete compensation) across some locations, which suggests a role for these factors in subsequent migration. This paper follows the theoretical and empirical approach of Clark, Herrin, Knapp, and White (2003). An intercity wage regression is estimated where fixed effects capture the impact of site characteristics on wages. We then regress the fixed effects on a comprehensive vector of site attributes, where the residuals capture incomplete compensation in wages. The derived measures of incomplete compensation are included in a binary logit model of migration. The results provide further evidence that incomplete compensation for site characteristics is a significant factor in migration decisions, and the findings are consistent with tendencies toward spatial equilibrium.

description: We present a Fokker-Planck description of supercooled colloidal systems exhibiting slow relaxation dynamics. By assuming the existence of a local quasi-equilibrium state during the relaxation of the system, we derive a non-Markovian Fokker-Planck equation for the non-stationary conditional probability. A generalized Stokes-Einstein relation containing the temperature of the system instead of the temperature of the bath is obtained. Our results explain experiments showing that the diffusion coefficient is not proportional to the inverse of the effective viscosity at frequencies related to the diffusion time scale.

description: We performed new large-scale $^{12}$CO, $^{13}$CO, and C$^{18}$O $J=$1--0 observations of the W43 giant molecular cloud complex in the tangential direction of the Scutum arm ($l\sim {30^\circ}$) as a part of the FUGIN project. The low-density gas traced by $^{12}$CO is distributed over 150 pc $\times$ 100 pc ($l \times b$), and has a large velocity dispersion (20-30 km s$^{-1}$). However, the dense gas traced by C$^{18}$O is localized in the W43 Main, G30.5, and W43 South (G29.96-0.02) high-mass star-forming regions in the W43 GMC complex, which have clumpy structures. We found at least two clouds with a velocity difference of $\sim$ 10-20 km s$^{-1}$, both of which are likely to be physically associated with these high-mass star-forming regions based on the results of high $^{13}$CO $J=$ 3-2 to $J =$ 1-0 intensity ratio and morphological correspondence with the infrared dust emission. The velocity separation of these clouds in W43 Main, G30.5, and W43 South is too large for each cloud to be gravitationally bound. We also revealed that the dense gas in the W43 GMC has a high local column density, while "the current SFE" of entire the GMC is low ($\sim 4\%$) compared with the W51 and M17 GMC. We argue that the supersonic cloud-cloud collision hypothesis can explain the origin of the local mini-starbursts and dense gas formation in the W43 GMC complex.

description: It has been argued that current saturation in graphene field-effect transistors (GFETs) is needed to get the highest possible maximum oscillation frequency (fmax). This paper numerically investigates whether velocity saturation can help to get better current saturation and if that correlates with enhanced fmax. For such a purpose, we used a drift-diffusion simulator that includes several factors that influence output conductance, especially at short channel lengths and-or large drain bias: short-channel electrostatics, saturation velocity, graphene-dielectric interface traps, and self-heating effects. As a testbed for our investigation, we analyzed fabricated GFETs with high extrinsin cutoff frequency fT,x (34 GHz) and fmax (37 GHz). Our simulations allow for a microscopic (local) analysis of the channel parameteres such as carrier concentration, drift and saturation velocities. For biases far away from the Dirac voltage, where the channel behaves as unipolar, we confirmed that the higher is the drift velocity, as close as possible to the saturation velocity, the greater fmax is. However, the largest fmax is recorded at biases near the crossover between unipolar and bipolar behavior, where it does not hold that the highest drift velocity maximizes fmax. In fact, the position and magnitude of the largest fmax depend on the complex interplay between the carrier concentration and total velocity which, in turn, are impacted by the self-heating. Importantly, this effect was found to severely limit radio-frequency performance, reducing the maximum fmax from around 60 to 40 GHz.

description: We examine the relationship between migration and occupational segregation for black and white job changers. Using a modified experience good model, our findings from the NLSY suggest that black migrants in good quality occupation matches advance their occupational positions, but do not catch up to whites. Bad match black migrants, on the other hand, lose the most ground on occupational ladders relative to all blacks and whites in our sample. Our results suggest that future research should focus on the underlying labor market history of individuals, where finding good initial occupation matches for blacks in combination with geographical mobility may be the most effective strategy for public policy aimed at decreasing occupational segregation.

description: A Finnish-based forest products company recently purchased the paper mill in a small community in northeastern Wisconsin (pop. 1,800). The 362 responses to a mailed survey demonstrated the community’s perception that their future is uncertain. Quantitative and qualitative analyses revealed that residents expressed genuine distrust of the new global corporate owners. Residents reported that the current corporate owners did not support the schools and other community activities as much as previous owners. Globalization has bred contempt and fear in this community dependent upon a foreign-owned paper mill.

description: Radiation from magnetic and electric dipole moments is a key subject in theory of electrodynamics. Although people treat the problem thoroughly in the context of frequency domain, the problem is still not well understood in the context of time domain, especially if dipole moments arbitrarily vary in time under action of external forces. Here, we scrutinize the instantaneous power radiated by magnetic and electric dipole moments, and report findings that are different from the conventional understanding of their instantaneous radiation found in textbooks. In contrast to the traditional far-field approach based on the Poynting vector, our analysis employs a near-field method based on the induced electromotive force, leading to corrective terms that are found to be consistent with time-domain numerical simulations, unlike previously reported expressions. Beyond its theoretical value, this work may also have significant impact in the field of time-varying metamaterials, especially in the study of radiation from subwavelength meta-atoms, scatterers and emitters that are temporally modulated.

description: Motion Planning (MP) is a critical challenge in robotics, especially pertinent with the burgeoning interest in embodied artificial intelligence. Traditional MP methods often struggle with high-dimensional complexities. Recently neural motion planners, particularly physics-informed neural planners based on the Eikonal equation, have been proposed to overcome the curse of dimensionality. However, these methods perform poorly in complex scenarios with shaped robots due to multiple solutions inherent in the Eikonal equation. To address these issues, this paper presents PC-Planner, a novel physics-constrained self-supervised learning framework for robot motion planning with various shapes in complex environments. To this end, we propose several physical constraints, including monotonic and optimal constraints, to stabilize the training process of the neural network with the Eikonal equation. Additionally, we introduce a novel shape-aware distance field that considers the robot's shape for efficient collision checking and Ground Truth (GT) speed computation. This field reduces the computational intensity, and facilitates adaptive motion planning at test time. Experiments in diverse scenarios with different robots demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method in efficiency and robustness for robot motion planning, particularly in complex environments.

description: The supersymmetric model of hybrid inflation is interesting not only because of its naturalness but also because of another reason. Its energy scale determined by the COBE normalization is 10^15 - 10^16 GeV. It happens to be the energy scale of interest in particle physics, namely, the mass scale of right-handed neutrinos or the energy scale of the gauge-coupling unification. It is true that topological defects are produced after the hybrid inflation if it is related to a U(1)_B-L or a GUT-symmetry breaking, and hence one cannot naively identify models of particle physics with that of inflation. But those defects are not necessarily found in modified models. We show in this article that quite a simple extension of the minimal supersymmetric hybrid inflation model is free from monopoles or cosmic strings. Moreover, it happens to be exactly the same as a well-motivated extension of SU(5)-unified theories. The vacuum energy is dominated by F-term. The η-problem is not necessarily serious when the model is realized by D-branes. Although it has been considered that a coupling constant has to be very small when the vacuum energy is dominated by F-term, this constraint is not applied either to the D-brane model. They are due to a particular form of the Kahler potential and interaction of the model. Reheating process is also discussed.

description: The discovery of a persistent radio source coincident with the first repeating fast radio burst, FRB 121102, and offset from the center of its dwarf host galaxy has been used as evidence for a link with young millisecond magnetars born in superluminous supernovae (SLSNe) or long-duration gamma-ray bursts (LGRBs). A prediction of this scenario is that compact radio sources offset from the centers of dwarf galaxies may serve as signposts for at least some FRBs. Recently, Reines et al. 2019 presented the discovery of 20 such radio sources in nearby ($z\lesssim 0.055$) dwarf galaxies, and argued that these cannot be explained by emission from HII regions, normal supernova remnants, or normal radio supernovae. Instead, they attribute the emission to accreting wandering massive black holes. Here, we explore the alternative possibility that these sources are analogs of FRB 121102. We compare their properties -- radio luminosities, spectral energy distributions, light curves, ratios of radio-to-optical flux, and spatial offsets -- to FRB 121102, a few other well-localized FRBs, and potentially related systems, and find that these are all consistent as arising from the same population. We further compare their properties to the magnetar nebula model used to explain FRB 121102, as well as to theoretical off-axis LGRB light curves, and find overall consistency. Finally, we find a consistent occurrence rate relative to repeating FRBs and LGRBs. We outline key follow-up observations to further test these possible connections.

description: Distinguishing the respective contributions of various microbes to methylmercury (MeHg) production is critical for predicting MeHg bioaccumulation and exposure risk. Metabolic inhibitors have been commonly used to block the activity of specific microbial groups and identify primary Hg methylating microbes. By reviewing literatures and our empirical data, we demonstrate how multiple factors, including (1) the addition of inappropriate amounts of inhibitors, (2) a tendency to overlook microbial syntrophy, and (3) the absence of comprehensive proxy systems of Hg methylation, would impact result interpretation of this approach. We thus suggest that the design of inhibition assays should consider the environmental properties, e.g., background levels of electron acceptors, concentrations of metabolic substrates, and abundances of Hg methylating microbes. We also recommend that inhibitors should be added at multiple concentrations and that observed changes in Hg methylation should be assessed with comprehensive indicators. Revealing the key factors responsible for the improper usage of this method and inadequate interpretation of the results would help optimize inhibition assays for robust predictions of MeHg production in nature.
