description: Self-diffusion and interdiffusion coefficients of binary ionic mixtures are evaluated using the Effective Potential Theory (EPT), and the predictions are compared with the results of molecular dynamics simulations. We find that EPT agrees with molecular dynamics from weak coupling well into the strong coupling regime, which is a similar range of coupling strengths as previously observed in comparisons with the one-component plasma. Within this range, typical relative errors of approximately 20% and worst-case relative errors of approximately 40% are observed. We also examine the Darken model, which approximates the interdiffusion coefficients based on the self-diffusion coefficients.

description: We determine the growth rate of linear instabilities resulting from long-wavelength transverse perturbations applied to periodic nonlinear wave solutions to the Schamel-Korteweg-de Vries-Zakharov-Kuznetsov (SKdVZK) equation which governs weakly nonlinear waves in a strongly magnetized cold-ion plasma whose electron distribution is given by two Maxwellians at slightly different temperatures. To obtain the growth rate it is necessary to evaluate non-trivial integrals whose number is kept to minimum by using recursion relations. It is shown that a key instance of one such relation cannot be used for classes of solution whose minimum value is zero, and an additional integral must be evaluated explicitly instead. The SKdVZK equation contains two nonlinear terms whose ratio $b$ increases as the electron distribution becomes increasingly flat-topped. As $b$ and hence the deviation from electron isothermality increases, it is found that for cnoidal wave solutions that travel faster than long-wavelength linear waves, there is a more pronounced variation of the growth rate with the angle $θ$ at which the perturbation is applied. Solutions whose minimum value is zero and travel slower than long-wavelength linear waves are found, at first order, to be stable to perpendicular perturbations and have a relatively narrow range of $θ$ for which the first-order growth rate is not zero.

description: In this paper, based on the basic principles of thermodynamics, we explore the hydrodynamic regime of interacting Lifshitz field theories in the presence of broken rotational invariance. We compute the entropy current and discover new dissipative effects those are consistent with the principle of local entropy production in the fluid. In our analysis, we consider both the parity even as well as the parity odd sector upto first order in the derivative expansion. Finally, we argue that the present construction of the paper could be systematically identified as that of the hydrodynamic description associated with \textit{spin waves} (away from the domain of quantum criticality) under certain limiting conditions.

description: This thesis identifies and addresses two barriers to the adoption of Long Term Evolution (LTE) Device-to-Device (D2D) communication enabled smart grid applications in out of core network coverage regions. The first barrier is the lack of accessible simulation software for engineers to develop and test the feasibility of their D2D LTE enabled smart grid application designs. The second barrier is the lack of a distributed resource allocation algorithm for LTE D2D communications that has been tailored to the needs of smart grid applications. A solution was proposed to the first barrier in the form of a simulator constructed in Matlab/Simulink used to simulate power systems and the underlying communication system, i.e., D2D communication protocol stack of Long Term Evolution (LTE). The simulator is built using Matlab's LTE System Toolbox, SimEvents, and Simscape Power Systems in addition to an in-house developed interface software to facilitate D2D communications in smart grid applications. To test the simulator, a simple fault location, isolation, and restoration (FLISR) application was implemented using the simulator to show that the LTE message timing is consistent with the relay signaling in the power system. A solution was proposed to the second barrier in the form of a multi-agent Q-learning based resource allocation algorithm that allows Long Term Evolution (LTE) enabled device-to-device (D2D) communication agents to generate orthogonal transmission schedules outside of network coverage. This algorithm reduces packet drop rates (PDR) in distributed D2D communication networks to meet the quality of service requirements of microgrid communications. The PDR and latency performance of the proposed algorithm was compared to the existing random self-allocation mechanism introduced under the Third Generation Partnership Project's LTE Release 12. The proposed algorithm outperformed the LTE algorithm for all tested scenarios, demonstrating 20-40% absolute reductions in PDR and 10-20 ms reductions in latency for all microgrid applications.

description: This paper studies charged star models associated with anisotropic matter distribution in $f(\mathcal{R},\mathcal{T},\mathcal{Q})$ theory, where $\mathcal{Q}=\mathcal{R}_{ϕψ}\mathcal{T}^{ϕψ}$. For this purpose, we take a linear model of this gravity as $\mathcal{R}+ζ\mathcal{Q}$, where $ζ$ represents a coupling constant. We consider a self-gravitating spherical geometry in the presence of electromagnetic field and generate solution to the modified field equations by using the ``embedding class-one'' condition and $\mathbb{MIT}$ bag model equation of state. The observational data (masses and radii) of four different stellar models like 4U 1820-30,~SAX J 1808.4-3658,~SMC X-4 and Her X-I is employed to analyze the effects of charge on their physical properties. Finally, the effect of the coupling constant is checked on the viability, hydrostatic equilibrium condition and stability of the resulting solution. We conclude that the considered models show viable and stable behavior for all the considered values of charge and $ζ$.

description: Heterogeneous information networks (HINs) have been extensively applied to real-world tasks, such as recommendation systems, social networks, and citation networks. While existing HIN representation learning methods can effectively learn the semantic and structural features in the network, little awareness was given to the distribution discrepancy of subgraphs within a single HIN. However, we find that ignoring such distribution discrepancy among subgraphs from multiple sources would hinder the effectiveness of graph embedding learning algorithms. This motivates us to propose SUMSHINE (Scalable Unsupervised Multi-Source Heterogeneous Information Network Embedding) -- a scalable unsupervised framework to align the embedding distributions among multiple sources of an HIN. Experimental results on real-world datasets in a variety of downstream tasks validate the performance of our method over the state-of-the-art heterogeneous information network embedding algorithms.

description: Stroke extraction of Chinese characters plays an important role in the field of character recognition and generation. The most existing character stroke extraction methods focus on image morphological features. These methods usually lead to errors of cross strokes extraction and stroke matching due to rarely using stroke semantics and prior information. In this paper, we propose a deep learning-based character stroke extraction method that takes semantic features and prior information of strokes into consideration. This method consists of three parts: image registration-based stroke registration that establishes the rough registration of the reference strokes and the target as prior information; image semantic segmentation-based stroke segmentation that preliminarily separates target strokes into seven categories; and high-precision extraction of single strokes. In the stroke registration, we propose a structure deformable image registration network to achieve structure-deformable transformation while maintaining the stable morphology of single strokes for character images with complex structures. In order to verify the effectiveness of the method, we construct two datasets respectively for calligraphy characters and regular handwriting characters. The experimental results show that our method strongly outperforms the baselines. Code is available at https://github.com/MengLi-l1/StrokeExtraction.

description: The lowest $v=0$ level of the A$^1Π$, state of the $^{13}$C$^{16}$O isotopologue of carbon monoxide has been reinvestigated with a variety of high resolution spectroscopic techniques. The A$^1Π-$X$^1Σ^+(0,0)$ band has been studied by vacuum-ultraviolet Fourier-transform absorption spectroscopy, using the SOLEIL synchrotron as a radiation source. Spectra were obtained under quasi-static gas conditions at liquid-nitrogen temperature, room temperature and at an elevated temperature of 900 K, with absolute accuracies of 0.01$-$0.03 cm$^{-1}$. Two-photon Doppler-free laser spectroscopy has been applied to a limited number of transitions in the A$^1Π-$X$^1Σ^+(0,0)$ band, under collision-free circumstances of a molecular beam, yielding an absolute accuracy of 0.002 cm$^{-1}$. The third technique is high-resolution Fourier-transform emission spectroscopy in the visible region applied to the B$^1Σ^+-$A$^1Π(0,0)$ band in a gas discharge, at an absolute accuracy of up to 0.003 cm$^{-1}$. With these methods rotational levels of A$^1Π(0)$ could be studied in both parity components up to a rotational quantum number of $J=46$. The frequencies of 397 transitions were used to analyse the perturbations between the A$^1Π(0)$ level by vibrational levels of the D$^1\!Δ$, e$^3Σ^-$, d$^3\!Δ$, and a$'^3Σ^+$ states.

description: Injecting discrete logical constraints into neural network learning is one of the main challenges in neuro-symbolic AI. We find that a straight-through-estimator, a method introduced to train binary neural networks, could effectively be applied to incorporate logical constraints into neural network learning. More specifically, we design a systematic way to represent discrete logical constraints as a loss function; minimizing this loss using gradient descent via a straight-through-estimator updates the neural network's weights in the direction that the binarized outputs satisfy the logical constraints. The experimental results show that by leveraging GPUs and batch training, this method scales significantly better than existing neuro-symbolic methods that require heavy symbolic computation for computing gradients. Also, we demonstrate that our method applies to different types of neural networks, such as MLP, CNN, and GNN, making them learn with no or fewer labeled data by learning directly from known constraints.

Shared decision making in united states home care physical therapy
Creators: name: Moore, Cindy Lane
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2022

description: Objective: Shared decision making (SDM) in physical therapy can improve patient outcomes and satisfaction but is underutilized. This study describes the views of home care physical therapists (PTs) regarding older adult patients’ participation in therapy goal setting and treatment planning. Methods: A convergent mixed methods approach was used. Physical therapists’ SDM knowledge, skills, attitudes, use, and barriers were surveyed in an online questionnaire informed by an SDM in physical therapy framework and two implementation science frameworks. Semi-structured interviews were analyzed using conventional content analysis, and a trustworthiness plan supported study rigor. Results: Surveys were completed by 220 PTs of varied age (range 27-76 years, mean 49.1 ± 11.58) and experience (range 1-49 years, mean 23.6 ± 12.32) who provided home care services to older adults in 44 states. Twenty PTs (80% female; mean age = 50.6, SD=12.7, range 28-73) representing all continental United States geographic regions with varied levels of geriatric (mean 24.2 years, SD=11.6, range 3-40) and home care (mean 15.7, SD=11.5, range 2-40) experience were interviewed. As measured by SDM-Q-Doc, SDM was present (adjusted score 70.0% ± 17.25) and correlated with 12 factors including respondents’ rating of their patients’ overall desired (r=.418, p<.001) and actual (r=.409, p<.001) levels of participation in goal setting. Therapists viewed SDM as beneficial and part of their professional role, but encountered patient, clinician, and organizational barriers to increasing its use. Missed opportunities for understanding and meeting patients’ needs and tensions between clinical judgments and organizational requirements were identified. A table of SDM barriers and strategies was constructed from the data and a conceptual model was developed to illustrate types and flow of goal and treatment decisions. Conclusions: Findings show room for increased SDM and suggest interventions addressing PTs’ professional role, their ability to collaboratively weigh treatment options, affirm shared decisions, and translate patients’ aspirational goals to goals into ones acceptable to regulators and payers. Home care physical therapy SDM frameworks, measurement tools, and interventions need to address goal setting as well as treatment planning, accommodate differences between setting patient and therapeutic goals, and acknowledge the role of actors beyond therapist-patient dyads.

description: Leonor Dettling und Céline Haller zeigen in der vorliegenden Bachelorarbeit auf, was das Potenzial von Dritten Orten für das Sozialkapital von Menschen mit Fluchterfahrung ist und leiten daraus Handlungsempfehlungen für die Praxis der Soziokulturellen Animation ab. Für Menschen mit Fluchterfahrung ist die Teilhabe am gesellschaftlichen Leben durch eingeschränkte Rechte, Gesundheitsprobleme und fehlende finanzielle Mittel erschwert. Soziale Kontakte und Kommunikation können sich positiv auf die Betroffenen auswirken. Dazu eignen sich niederschwellige Begegnungsorte, welche nach dem Stadtsoziologen Ray Oldenburg als Dritte Orte bezeichnet werden. Dieser setzt sich mit Räumen auseinander, an welchen sich das informelle öffentliche Leben abspielt. In diesen besteht das Potenzial, Sozialkapital zu erweitern. Pierre Bourdieu beschreibt soziales Kapital als Ressource, welche einem Individuum angehört, während Robert D. Putnam es als Netzwerke bezeichnet. Die Konzepte Dritte Orte und Sozialkapital werden beschrieben und fünf Leitfadeninterviews mit Betroffenen dienen als Grundlage für die darauffolgende qualitative Forschung. Die vorliegende Arbeit stellt die Verknüpfung der beiden Konzepte sowohl in der Literatur wie auch in der Empirie fest. Dritte Orte bieten für Menschen mit Fluchterfahrung vielfältige positive Wirkungen auf unterschiedlichen Ebenen. Da Dritte Orte in der Soziokulturellen Animation vielfach vorzufinden sind, stellt die Auseinandersetzung und Weiterentwicklung dieser ein relevantes Handlungsfeld dar.

description: Next generation astronomical surveys naturally pose challenges for human-centred visualisation and analysis workflows that currently rely on the use of standard desktop display environments. While a significant fraction of the data preparation and analysis will be taken care of by automated pipelines, crucial steps of knowledge discovery can still only be achieved through various level of human interpretation. As the number of sources in a survey grows, there is need to both modify and simplify repetitive visualisation processes that need to be completed for each source. As tasks such as per-source quality control, candidate rejection, and morphological classification all share a single instruction, multiple data (SIMD) work pattern, they are amenable to a parallel solution. Selecting extragalactic neutral hydrogen (HI) surveys as a representative example, we use system performance benchmarking and the visual data and reasoning (VDAR) methodology from the field of information visualisation to evaluate a bespoke comparative visualisation environment: the encube visual analytics framework deployed on the 83 Megapixel Swinburne Discovery Wall. Through benchmarking using spectral cube data from existing HI surveys, we are able to perform interactive comparative visualisation via texture-based volume rendering of 180 three-dimensional (3D) data cubes at a time. The time to load a configuration of spectral cubes scale linearly with the number of voxels, with independent samples of 180 cubes (8.4 Gigavoxels or 34 Gigabytes) each loading in under 5 minutes. We show that parallel comparative inspection is a productive and time-saving technique which can reduce the time taken to complete SIMD-style visual tasks currently performed at the desktop by at least two orders of magnitude, potentially rendering some labour-intensive desktop-based workflows obsolete.

description: Evidence linking physical health with beneficial cognitive outcomes is well established. However, the potential bi-directional nature of this relationship is far less explored. Falls-related injuries are frequently caused by age-related deterioration of walking gait, and cost the NHS in Britain ~£1 billion per annum. Interventions capable of reducing falls risk are significantly beneficial from both health and economical perspectives. In recent years, evidence has emerged suggesting that the cognitive capacity required for executive function and motor stabilisation share a fundamentally limited pool of neural resources. In tandem, research suggesting that computer-based cognitive training can—via neuro-plastic mechanisms—stimulate executive function enhancements. Subsequently, this suggests the possibility that cognitive training can positively impact motor control functions, such as walking gait. Thereby raising the potential that movement coordination may be enhanced through cognitive training interventions. This novel perspective is just beginning to be explored within the literature, and some intriguing evidence already exists. Accordingly, the objective of this discussion is to review the rationale and evidence underpinning the suggested linkage between cognitive resources and walking gait and to suggest how such interventions could provide novel, impactful and financially efficient practical applications for reducing the fall risk in older adults.

description: The University of Illinois-Chicago's Daley Library used data from iterative assessment to develop mission-focused training for a welcoming library environment. The goal was to empower student workers by reinforcing the mission of the library and our commitment to a diverse patron population. We also sought to reduce factors that might intimidate or discourage library use by identifying areas for improvement and using data that reflects the experience of patrons entering the library to highlight the need for a positive customer service attitude. Through this assessment, students connected their work to the impact it can have on academic success, and how it is valued as a cornerstone of the library mission.This paper focuses on the methodology and findings from our first year of assessment.

description: A rational triangle is a triangle with rational side lengths. We consider three different families of rational triangles having a fixed side and whose vertices are rational points in the plane. We display a one-to-one correspondence between each family and the set of rational points of an algebraic curve. These algebraic curves are: a curve of genus 0, an elliptic curve, and a genus 3 curve. We study the set of rational points on each of these curves and describe some of its rational points explicitly.

description: The “century of the encyclopaedias and dictionaries” (Siècle de l’Encyclopédie) in France will have induced Antioch Kantemir (in 1738–1744 in Paris as Russian diplomat) to compile the first known “Russian-French dictionary”. As his main sources – Polikarpov (1704) and Weismann (1731) – provided Russian and Latin equivalents (as well as Greek or German vocabulary), but not the French words, a remarkable specific feature of the Kantemir-dictionary becomes apparent: for the French semantization process of Russian headwords often the Latin equivalent was used by means of consultation of Latin-French encyclopaedias or French dictionaries listing also the Latin words (even Lémery’s Latin-French specialised dictionary). Those dictionaries prove a Russian-Latin-French transfer, even though the step from Latin to French is not listed in Kantemir’s dictionary.

description: It is known that measurement-device-independent quantum key distribution (MDI-QKD) provides ultimate security from all types of side-channel attack against detectors at the expense of low key generation rate. Here, we propose MDI-QKD using 3-dimensional quantum states and show that the protocol improves the secret key rate under the analysis of mismatched-basis statistics. Specifically, we analyze security of the 3d-MDI-QKD protocol with uncharacterized sources, meaning that the original sources contain unwanted states instead of expected one. We simulate secret key rate of the protocol and identify the regime where the key rate is higher than the protocol with the qubit MDI-QKD.

description: This paper presents a new active power control algorithm designed to maximize the power reserve of the individual turbines in a farm, in order to improve the tracking accuracy of a power reference signal. The control architecture is based on an open-loop optimal set-point scheduler combined with a feedback corrector, which actively regulate power by both wake steering and induction control. The methodology is compared with a state-of-the-art PI-based controller by means of high-fidelity LES simulations. The new wind farm controller reduces the occurrence of local saturation events, thereby improving the overall tracking accuracy, and limits fatigue loading in conditions of relatively high-power demand.

description: In a topological insulator (TI), if its spin-orbit coupling (SOC) strength is gradually reduced, the TI eventually transforms into a trivial insulator beyond a critical point of SOC, at which point the bulk gap closes: this is the standard description of the topological phase transition (TPT). However, this description of TPT, driven solely by the SOC (or something equivalent) and followed by closing and reopening of the bulk band gap, is valid only for infinite-size samples, and little is known how TPT occurs for finite-size samples. Here, using both systematic transport measurements on interface-engineered(Bi$_{1-x}$In$_x$)$_2$Se$_3$ thin films and theoretical simulations (with animations in Supporting Information) we show that description of TPT in finite-size samples needs to be substantially modified from the conventional picture of TPT due to surface-state hybridization and bulk confinement effects. We also show that the finite-size TPT is composed of two separate transitions, topological-normal transition (TNT) and metal-insulator transition (MIT) by providing a detailed phase diagram in the two-dimensional phase space of sample size and SOC strength.

description: Among various models to explain the $750$ GeV diphoton resonance hinted at the LHC Run 2, a class of models where the resonance decays not into a pair of photons but into a pair of photon-jets is gathering definite attention. In this paper, we study how well we can distinguish the di-photon-jet resonance from the diphoton resonance by examining detector responses to the photon-jets. We find that the sum of $p_T$ of the first $e^+e^-$ pair from the photon conversion provides strong discrimination power. We also discuss determination of the lifetime of the light intermediate particle by measuring the photon conversion points.

description: We consider the $2+1$ dimensional Yang-Mills theory with gauge group $\text{SU}(N)$ on a flat 2-torus under twisted boundary conditions. We study the possibility of phase transitions (tachyonic instabilities) when $N$ and the volume vary and certain chromomagnetic flux associated to the topology of the bundle can be adjusted. Under natural assumptions about how to match the perturbative regime and the expected confinement, we prove that the absence of tachyonic instabilities is related to some problems in number theory, namely the Diophantine approximation of irreducible fractions by other fractions of smaller denominator.

description: Linguistically, the past two decades in Bosnia and Hercegovina were characterized by the implementation of three legal languages, “Bosnian”, “Croatian” and “Serbian”, which replaced the formerly used “Serbocroatian”. What initially looked like a merely terminological change for ideological reasons has developed into a gradually growing language change along ethnic lines, which could be measured by quantitative analysis, the methods and results of which will be presented partly in this article. Through additional qualitative analysis it became evident that these linguistic changes are not spreading equally within each linguistic group, but are only affecting the language use and speech of the majorities of certain areas. This means, that there is a great difference between the level of standardization, acceptance and actual use of the three languages in question leading to the establishment of linguistic areas rather than the planed equal trilingualism in the state.

description: Weyl semimetals are a newly discovered class of materials that host relativistic massless Weyl fermions as their low-energy bulk excitations. Among this new class of materials, there exist two general types of semimetals that are of particular interest: type-I Weyl semimetals, that have broken inversion or time-reversal symmetry symmetry, and type-II Weyl semimetals, that additionally breaks Lorentz invariance. In this work, we use Born approximation to analytically demonstrate that the type-I Weyl semimetals may undergo a quantum phase transition to type-II Weyl semimetals in the presence of the finite charge and magnetic disorder when non-zero tilt exist. The phase transition occurs when the disorder renormalizes the topological mass, thereby reducing the Fermi velocity near the Weyl cone below the tilt of the cone. We also confirm the presence of the disorder induced phase transition in Weyl semimetals using exact diagonalization of a three-dimensional tight-binding model to calculate the resultant phase diagram of the type-I Weyl semimetal.

Morphology-based query for galaxy image databases

description: Galaxies of rare morphology are of paramount scientific interest, as they carry important information about the past, present, and future universe. Once a rare galaxy is identified, studying it more effectively requires a set of galaxies of similar morphology, allowing generalization and statistical analysis that cannot be done when $N=1$. Databases generated by digital sky surveys can contain a very large number of galaxy images, and therefore once a rare galaxy of interest is identified it is possible that more instances of the same morphology are also present in the database. However, when a researcher identifies a certain galaxy of rare morphology in the database, it is virtually impossible to mine the database manually in the search for galaxies of similar morphology. Here we propose a computer method that can automatically search databases of galaxy images and identify galaxies that are morphologically similar to a certain user-defined query galaxy. That is, the researcher provides an image of a galaxy of interest, and the pattern recognition system automatically returns a list of galaxies that are visually similar to the target galaxy. The algorithm uses a comprehensive set of descriptors, allowing it to support different types of galaxies, and it is not limited to a finite set of known morphology. While the list of returned galaxies is neither clean nor complete, it contains a far higher frequency of galaxies of the morphology of interest, providing a substantial reduction of the data. Such algorithms can be integrated into data management systems of autonomous digital sky surveys such as the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST), where the number of galaxies in the database is extremely large. The source code of the method is available at http://vfacstaff.ltu.edu/lshamir/downloads/udat.

description: Using detailed first-principles calculations, we investigate the hopping rate of vacancies in phosphorene, an emerging elemental 2D material besides graphene. Our work predicts that a direct observation of these mono-vacancies (MVs), showing a highly mobile and anisotropic motion, is possible only at low temperatures around 70 K or below where the thermal activity is greatly suppressed. At room temperature, the motion of a MV is sixteen orders faster than that in graphene, because of the low diffusion barrier of 0.3 eV. Built-in strain associated with the vacancies extends far along the zigzag direction while attenuating rapidly along the armchair direction. We reveal new features of the motion of di-vacancies (DVs) in phosphorene via multiple dissociation-recombination processes of vacancies owing to a small energy cost of ~ 1.05 eV for the splitting of a DV into two MVs. Furthermore, we find that uniaxial tensile strain along the zigzag direction can promote the motion of MVs, while the tensile strain along the armchair direction has the opposite effect. These itinerant features of vacancies, rooted in the unique puckering structure facilitating bond reorganization, enable phosphorene to be a bright new opportunity to broaden the knowledge of the evolution of vacancies, and a proper control of the exceedingly active and anisotropic movement of the vacancies should be critical for applications based on phosphorene.

Challenging event horizons with spin (3/2) fields

description: We attempt to destroy the event horizons of Kerr black holes by perturbing them with massless spin (3/2) fields. We carry out a detailed analysis by incorporating the explicit form of the absorption probabilities and backreaction effects due to the self energy of the test fields. For extremal and nearly extremal black holes, backreaction effects dominate for perturbations with large magnitudes. However, small perturbations can destroy the event horizons of extremal black holes and drive nearly extremal black holes closer to extremality. Eventually, nearly extremal black holes reach a certain stage where they can be continuously driven to extremality and beyond. Both the cosmic censorship conjecture and the third law of black hole dynamics can be violated by spin (3/2) fields. This directly follows from the fact that fermionic fields do not satisfy the null energy condition. Therefore this result does not contradict with the fact that cosmic censorship and the laws of black hole mechanics remain valid for perturbations satisfying the null energy condition.
