description: Observational evidence shows that gravitational lensing induces an angular correlation between the distribution of galaxies and much more distant QSOs. We use weak gravitational lensing theory to calculate this angular correlation, updating previous calculations and presenting new results exploring the dependence of the correlation on the large-scale structure. We study the dependence of the predictions on a variety of cosmological models, such as cold dark matter models, mixed dark matter models, and models based on quintessence. We also study the dependence on the assumptions made about the nature of the primordial fluctuation spectrum: adiabatic, isocurvature and power spectra motivated by the cosmic string scenario are investigated. Special attention is paid to the issue of galaxy biasing, which is fully incorporated. We show that different mass power spectra imply distinct predictions for the angular correlation, and therefore the angular correlation provides an extra source of information about cosmological parameters and mechanisms of structure formation. We compare our results with observational data and discuss their potential uses. In particular, it is suggested that the observational determination of the galaxy-QSO correlation may be used to give an independent measurement of the mass power spectrum.

description: We investigate a frustrated Heisenberg spin-1/2 antiferromagnet on a fractal lattice of dimension d=ln3/ln2 (Sierpinski gasket). Calculations were performed using (a) exact diagonalization of all eigenstates and eigenvectors for systems up to N=15 and (b) the Decoupled-Cell Quantum-Monte-Carlo method for systems up to N=366. We present the low-lying spectrum and the specific heat. The specific heat shows a second maximum in the low-temperature region. This behavior is similar to the behavior of the quantum Heisenberg antiferromagnet on a kagome lattice and suggests a disordered ground state and a spin gap in the considered system.

description: Background: The prevalence of nontuberculous mycobacterial lung disease (NTMLD) in the United States (US) has increased; however, data characterizing the associated healthcare utilization and expenditure at the national level are limited. Objective: To examine associations between economic outcomes and the use of anti-Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) guidelines-based treatment (GBT) for newly diagnosed NTMLD in a US national managed care claims database (Optum® Clinformatics® Data Mart). Methods: NTMLD was defined as having ≥2 claims for NTMLD (ICD-9 031.0; ICD-10 A31.0) on separate occasions ≥30 days apart (between 2007 and 2016). The cohort included patients insured continuously over a period of at least 36 months (12 months before initial NTMLD diagnostic claim and for the subsequent 24 months). Treatment was classified as GBT (consistent with American Thoracic Society/Infectious Diseases Society of America guidelines), non-GBT, or untreated. All-cause hospitalization rates and total healthcare expenditures at Year 2 were assessed as outcomes of the treatment prescribed in Year 1 after NTMLD diagnosis. Results: A total of 1039 patients met study criteria for NTMLD (GBT, n = 294; non-GBT, n = 298; untreated, n = 447). After adjustment for baseline characteristics, GBT was associated with a significantly lower all-cause hospitalization risk versus non-GBT (odds ratio [OR] = 0.53; 95% CI, 0.33-0.85, P = 0.008), and versus being untreated (OR =0.57; 95% CI, 0.35-0.91, P = 0.020). Adjusted total healthcare expenditure in Year 2 with GBT ($69,691) was lower than that with non-GBT ($77,624) with a difference of −$7933 (95% CI, −$14,968 to −$899; P = 0.03). Conclusions: Patients with NTMLD in a US managed claims database who were prescribed GBT had lower hospitalization risk than those who were prescribed non-GBT or were untreated. GBT was associated with lower total healthcare expenditure compared with non-GBT.
Maximum Gain, Effective Area, and Directivity

description: Fundamental bounds on antenna gain are found via convex optimization of the current density in a prescribed region. Various constraints are considered, including self-resonance and only partial control of the current distribution. Derived formulas are valid for arbitrarily shaped radiators of a given conductivity. All the optimization tasks are reduced to eigenvalue problems, which are solved efficiently. The second part of the paper deals with superdirectivity and its associated minimal costs in efficiency and Q-factor. The paper is accompanied with a series of examples practically demonstrating the relevance of the theoretical framework and entirely spanning wide range of material parameters and electrical sizes used in antenna technology. Presented results are analyzed from a perspective of effectively radiating modes. In contrast to a common approach utilizing spherical modes, the radiating modes of a given body are directly evaluated and analyzed here. All crucial mathematical steps are reviewed in the appendices, including a series of important subroutines to be considered making it possible to reduce the computational burden associated with the evaluation of electrically large structures and structures of high conductivity.

Supernovae in Molecular Clouds

Publisher: name: arXiv

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Supernovae are expected to occur near the molecular material in which the massive progenitor star was born, except in cases where the photoionizing radiation and winds from the progenitor star and its neighbors have cleared out a region. The clumpy structure in molecular clouds is crucial for the remnant evolution; the supernova shock front can become radiative in the interclump medium and the radiative shell then collides with molecular clumps. The interaction is relevant to a number of phenomena: the hydrodynamics of a magnetically supported dense shell interacting with molecular clumps; the molecular emission from shock waves, including the production of the OH 1720 MHz maser line; the relativistic particle emission, including radio synchrotron and gamma-ray emission, from the dense radiative shell; and the possible gravitational instability of a compressed clump.

Semantic Image Networks for Human Action Recognition
Creators: name: Khowaja, Sunder Ali
name: Lee, Seok-Lyong
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (cs.CV)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: In this paper, we propose the use of a semantic image, an improved representation for video analysis, principally in combination with Inception networks. The semantic image is obtained by applying localized sparse segmentation using global clustering (LSSGC) prior to the approximate rank pooling which summarizes the motion characteristics in single or multiple images. It incorporates the background information by overlaying a static background from the window onto the subsequent segmented frames. The idea is to improve the action-motion dynamics by focusing on the region which is important for action recognition and encoding the temporal variances using the frame ranking method. We also propose the sequential combination of Inception-ResNetv2 and long-short-term memory network (LSTM) to leverage the temporal variances for improved recognition performance. Extensive analysis has been carried out on UCF101 and HMDB51 datasets which are widely used in action recognition studies. We show that (i) the semantic image generates better activations and converges faster than its original variant, (ii) using segmentation prior to approximate rank pooling yields better recognition performance, (iii) The use of LSTM leverages the temporal variance information from approximate rank pooling to model the action behavior better than the base network, (iv) the proposed representations can be adaptive as they can be used with existing methods such as temporal segment networks to improve the recognition performance, and (v) our proposed four-stream network architecture comprising of semantic images and semantic optical flows achieves state-of-the-art performance, 95.9% and 73.5% recognition accuracy on UCF101 and HMDB51, respectively.

description: In a recent paper [Phys. Rev. Lett. 80 (1998) 1690], Krim and coworkers have observed that the friction force, acting on a thin physisorbed layer of N_2 sliding on a lead film, abruptly decreases by a factor of ~2 when the lead film is cooled below its superconductivity transition temperature. We discuss the possible mechanisms for the abruptness of the sliding friction drop, and also discuss the relevance of these results to the problem of electronic friction.

description: Using the path integral approach, we provide an explicit derivation of the equation for the phase boundary for quantum Josephson junction arrays with offset charges and non-diagonal capacitance matrix. For the model with nearest neighbor capacitance matrix and uniform offset charge $q/2e=1/2$, we determine, in the low critical temperature expansion, the most relevant contributions to the equation for the phase boundary. We explicitly construct the charge distributions on the lattice corresponding to the lowest energies. We find a reentrant behavior even with a short ranged interaction. A merit of the path integral approach is that it allows to provide an elegant derivation of the Ginzburg-Landau free energy for a general model with charge frustration and non-diagonal capacitance matrix. The partition function factorizes as a product of a topological term, depending only on a set of integers, and a non-topological one, which is explicitly evaluated.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

description: Recently two-dimensional (2D) transition metal carbides and nitrides (MXenes) have gained significant attention in electronics and electrochemical energy conversion and storage devices where the heat production significantly affects the safety and performance of these devices. In this paper, we have studied the thermal transport in monolayer Ti3C2Tz, the first and most studied MXene, using density functional theory (DFT) and phonon Boltzmann transport equation and quantified the effect of surface termination (bare, fluorine and oxygen) on its lattice thermal conductivity. We found that thermal conductivity of fluorine-terminated Ti3C2Tz (108 W/m.K) is approximately one order of magnitude higher than its oxygen-terminated counterpart (10 W/m.K). Our calculations reveal that the increased thermal conductivity for the fluorine-terminated structure is due to its enhanced specific heat and group velocity and diminished scattering rate of phonons.

description: Latinx students continue to lag behind other students in academic achievement across their academic career. One variable that has significantly predicted academic achievement in adolescents is their level of academic belonging. This study measured the relationship between Latinx adolescents’ (ages 10 to 15 years old) academic belonging, their parental academic socialization (PAS), as well as the teacher emotional and academic support they receive. Ethnographic impressions and observations of the families involved in the study are discussed. The study used correlations, as well as a regression analysis to examine the variance explained in academic belonging when regressed on PAS and teacher support. In addition, Hayes’ PROCESS analysis was used to examine the indirect effects of predictor variables on academic achievement and academic behaviors. Results indicated that teacher support predicted academic belonging to a greater extent than did PAS. In addition, academic belonging positively mediated the effect of teacher support on academic achievement and academic behavior measures. Implications for future researchers, clinicians, parents, and teachers are discussed.

Theoretical Implications of the Gamma-Ray Burst - Supernova Connection
Creators: name: Chevalier, Roger A.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Although observations of circumstellar shock interactions around supernovae are generally consistent with a 1/r**2 density profile wind surrounding the progenitor star, this is not true for GRB (gamma-ray burst) afterglows. However, GRB 991208 and GRB 000301C may be consistent with wind interaction if the injection particle spectrum is a broken power law. Circumstellar dust echos can place constraints on supernova and GRB progenitors, but have been clearly observed only around SN 1987A. Excess emission observed in two GRB afterglows is more likely to have a supernova origin. An interstellar dust echo, causing the light curve to flatten out, is a possibility for GRB afterglows, but is not likely to be observable.

description: We study the influence of a tunnel barrier on the quantum transport through a circular cavity. Our analysis in terms of classical trajectories shows that the semiclassical approaches developed for ballistic transport can be adapted to deal with the case where tunneling is present. Peaks in the Fourier transform of the energy-dependent transmission and reflection spectra exhibit a nonmonotonic behaviour as a function of the barrier height in the quantum mechanical numerical calculations. Semiclassical analysis provides a simple qualitative explanation of this behaviour, as well as a quantitative agreement with the exact calculations. The experimental relevance of the classical trajectories in mesoscopic and microwave systems is discussed.

description: Background: The prevalence of nontuberculous mycobacterial lung disease (NTMLD) in the US has increased; however, data characterizing the associated healthcare utilization and expenditure at the national level are limited. Objective: To examine associations between economic outcomes and the use of anti-Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) guidelines-based treatment (GBT) for newly-diagnosed NTMLD in a US national managed care claims database (Optum® Clinformatics® Data Mart). Methods: NTMLD was defined as having ≥2 claims for NTMLD (ICD-9 031.0; ICD-10 A31.0) on separate occasions ≥30 days apart (between 2007 and 2016). The cohort included patients insured continuously over a period of at least 36 months (12 months before initial NTMLD diagnostic claim and for the subsequent 24 months). Treatment was classified as GBT (consistent with American Thoracic Society/Infectious Diseases Society of America guidelines), non-GBT, or untreated. All-cause hospitalization rates and total healthcare expenditures at Year 2 were assessed as outcomes of the treatment prescribed in Year 1 after NTMLD diagnosis. Results: A total of 1,039 patients met study criteria for NTMLD (GBT, n = 294; non-GBT, n = 298; untreated, n = 447). After adjustment for baseline characteristics, GBT was associated with a significantly lower all-cause hospitalization risk vs non-GBT (odds ratio [OR] = 0.53; 95% CI = 0.33–0.85, p = 0.008), and vs being untreated (OR = 0.57; 95% CI = 0.35–0.91, p = 0.020). Adjusted total healthcare expenditure in Year 2 with GBT ($69,691) was lower than that with non-GBT ($77,624) with a difference of −$7,933 (95% CI = −$14,968 to −$899; p = 0.03). Conclusions: Patients with NTMLD in a US managed care claims database who were prescribed GBT had lower hospitalization risk than those who were prescribed non-GBT or were untreated. GBT was associated with lower total healthcare expenditure compared with non-GBT.
Single Impurity Anderson Model with Coulomb Repulsion between Conduction Electrons on the Nearest-Neighbour Ligand Orbital

description: We study how the Kondo effect is affected by the Coulomb interaction between conduction electrons on the basis of a simplified model. The single impurity Anderson model is extended to include the Coulomb interaction on the nearest-neighbour ligand orbital. The excitation spectra are calculated using the numerical renormalization group method. The effective bandwidth on the ligand orbital, $D^{eff}$, is defined to classify the state. This quantity decreases as the Coulomb interaction increases. In the $D^{eff} > Δ$ region, the low energy properties are described by the Kondo state, where $Δ$ is the hybridization width. As $D^{eff}$ decreases in this region, the Kondo temperature $T_{K}$ is enhanced, and its magnitude becomes comparable to $Δ$ for $D^{eff} \sim Δ$. In the $D^{eff} < Δ$ region, the local singlet state between the electrons on the $f$ and ligand orbitals is formed.

description: A criterion is derived for the determination of parameter domains of first order phase transitions in quantum mechanical tunneling models. The criterion is tested by application to various models, in particular to some which have been used recently to explore spin tunneling in macroscopic particles. In each case agreement is found with previously heuristically determined domains.

The Tolman Surface Brightness Test for the Reality of the Expansion. I. Calibration of the Necessary Local Parameters

description: The extensive CCD photometry by Postman & Lauer (1995, ApJ, 440, 28) in the Cape/Cousins R photometric band for first ranked cluster elliptical and S0 galaxies in 118 low redshift clusters is analyzed for the correlations between average surface brightness, linear radius, and absolute magnitude. The purpose is to calibrate the correlations between these three parameters in the limit of zero redshift. These local correlations provide the comparisons to be made in Paper IV with the sample of early-type galaxies at high redshift in search of the Tolman surface brightness signal of (1 + z)^4 if the expansion is real. Surface brightness averages are calculated at various metric radii in each galaxy in the sample. The definition of such radii by Petrosian (1976, ApJ, 209, L1) uses ratios of observed surface photometric data. The observed surface brightnesses are listed for 118 first ranked cluster galaxies at Petrosian eta radii of 1.0, 1.3, 1.5, 1.7, 2.0, and 2.5 mag. The three local diagnostic correlation diagrams are defined and discussed. We review the Tolman test and show that, although recipes from the standard cosmological model that already have the Tolman signal incorporated are required to calculate linear radii and absolute magnitudes from the observed data, the test is nevertheless free from the hermeneutical circularity dilemma occasionally claimed in the literature. The reasons are the observed mean surface brightness (1) is independent of any assumptions of cosmological model, (2) does not depend on the existence of a Tolman signal because it is calculated directly from the data using only angular radii and apparent magnitudes, and (3) can be used to search for the Tolman signal because it carries the bulk of that signal.

 Notes. In their original description, Drew and Romig (2001) refer to specimens from Santa Cruz Island with postpronotal lobes yellow and anteriorly black, and with irregularly shaped sublateral markings on the abdomen (Fig. 38C). Fresh specimens I collected in Kolombangara in 2018 have black postpronotal lobes and extensive black lateral markings on the abdomen (Fig. 38-D). Until fresh specimens from Santa Cruz are available for molecular comparison, I tentatively assigned the Kolombangara specimens as a variant of B. hollingsworthi, rather than describe them as a new species (Leblanc et al. 2021).

description: Physical head phantoms allow assessing source reconstruction procedures in electroencephalography and electrical stimulation profiles during transcranial electric stimulation. Volume conduction in the head is strongly influenced by the skull representing the main conductivity barrier. Realistic modeling of its characteristics is thus important for phantom development. In the present study, we proposed plastic clay as a material for modeling the skull in phantoms. We analyzed five clay types varying in granularity and fractions of fireclay, each with firing temperatures from 550 °C to 950 °C. We investigated the conductivity of standardized clay samples when immersed in a 0.9% sodium chloride solution with time-resolved four-point impedance measurements. To test the reusability of the clay model, these measurements were repeated after cleaning the samples by rinsing in deionized water for 5 h. We found time-dependent impedance changes for approximately 5 min after immersion in the solution. Thereafter, the conductivities stabilized between 0.0716 S/m and 0.0224 S/m depending on clay type and firing temperatures. The reproducibility of the measurement results proved the effectiveness of the rinsing procedure. Clay provides formability, is permeable for ions, can be adjusted in conductivity value and is thus suitable for the skull modeling in phantoms.

description: The abundance of overlapping anatomical structures appearing in chest radiographs can reduce the performance of lung pathology detection by automated algorithms (CAD) as well as the human reader. In this paper, we present a deep learning based image processing technique for enhancing the contrast of soft lung structures in chest radiographs using Fully Convolutional Neural Networks (FCNN). Two 2D FCNN architectures were trained to accomplish the task: The first performs 2D lung segmentation which is used for normalization of the lung area. The second FCNN is trained to extract lung structures. To create the training images, we employed Simulated X-Ray or Digitally Reconstructed Radiographs (DRR) derived from 516 scans belonging to the LIDC-IDRI dataset. By first segmenting the lungs in the CT domain, we are able to create a dataset of 2D lung masks to be used for training the segmentation FCNN. For training the extraction FCNN, we create DRR images of only voxels belonging to the 3D lung segmentation which we call "Lung X-ray" and use them as target images. Once the lung structures are extracted, the original image can be enhanced by fusing the original input x-ray and the synthesized "Lung X-ray". We show that our enhancement technique is applicable to real x-ray data, and display our results on the recently released NIH Chest X-Ray-14 dataset. We see promising results when training a DenseNet-121 based architecture to work directly on the lung enhanced X-ray images.
