description: We prove that for $ν>n-1$ all zeros of the $n$th derivative of Bessel function of the first kind $J_ν$ are real and simple. Moreover, we show that the positive zeros of the $n$th and $(n+1)$th derivative of Bessel function of the first kind $J_ν$ are interlacing when $ν\geq n,$ and $n$ is a natural number or zero. Our methods include the Weierstrassian representation of the $n$th derivative, properties of the Laguerre-Pólya class of entire functions, and the Laguerre inequalities. Some similar results for the zeros of the first and second derivative of the Struve function of the first kind $\mathbf{H}_ν$ are also proved. The main results obtained in this paper generalize and complement some classical results on the zeros of Bessel functions of the first kind. Some open problems related to Hurwitz theorem on the zeros of Bessel functions are also proposed, which may be of interest for further research.

description: Green's functions for Rossby waves in an azimuthal wind are obtained, in which the stream-function $ψ$ depends on $r$, $ϕ$ and $t$, where $r$ is cylindrical radius and $ϕ$ is the azimuthal angle in the $β$-plane relative to the easterly direction, in which the $x$-axis points east and the $y$-axis points north. The Rossby wave Green's function with no wind is obtained using Fourier transform methods, and is related to the previously known Green's function obtained for this case, which has a different but equivalent form to the Green's function obtained in the present paper. We emphasize the role of the wave eikonal solution, which plays an important role in the form of the solution. The corresponding Green's function for a rotating wind with azimuthal wind velocity ${\bf u}=Ωr{\bf e}_ϕ$ ($Ω=$const.) is also obtained by Fourier methods, in which the advective rotation operator in position space is transformed to a rotation operator in ${\bf k}$ transform space. The finite Rossby deformation radius is included in the analysis. The physical characteristics of the Green's functions are delineated and applications are discussed. In the limit as $Ω\to 0$, the rotating wind Green's function reduces to the Rossby wave Green function with no wind.

description: Non-adiabatic holonomic quantum computation has received increasing attention due to its robustness against control errors. However, all the previous schemes have to use at least two sequentially implemented gates to realize a general one-qubit gate. In this paper, we put forward a novelty scheme by which one can directly realize an arbitrary holonomic one-qubit gate with a single-shot implementation, avoiding the extra work of combining two gates into one. Based on a three-level model driven by laser pulses, we show that any single-qubit holonomic gate can be realized by varying the detuning, amplitude, and phase of lasers. Our scheme is compatible with previously proposed non-adiabatic holonomic two-qubit gates, combining with which the arbitrary holonomic one-qubit gates can play universal non-adiabatic holonomic quantum computation. We also investigate the effects of some unavoidable realistic errors on our scheme.

description: The impacts of climate changes to cities, which are home to over half of the world´s population, are already being felt. In many cases, the intensive speed with which urban centres have been growing means that little attention has been paid to the role played by climatic factors in maintaining the quality of life. Among the negative consequences of rapid city growth is the expansion of the problems posed by urban heat islands, defined as areas in a city that are much warmer than in other sites, especially in comparison with rural areas. This paper analyses the consistency of the UHI related literature in three stages: first it outlines its characteristics and impacts in a wide variety of cities around the world, which poses pressures to public health in many different countries. Then it introduces strategies which may be employed in order to reduce its effects, and finally, it analyses available tools to systematize the initial high-level assessment of the phenomenon for multidisciplinary teams involved in the urban planning process. The analysis of the literature on the characteristics, impacts, strategies and digital tools to assess on the UHI, reveals the wide variety of parameters, methods, tools and strategies analysed and suggested in the different studies, which does not always allow to compare or standardize the diagnosis or solutions.

description: In the present work we show, analytically and numerically, that the variance of many-particle operators and their uncertainty product for an out-of-equilibrium Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) can deviate from the outcome of the time-dependent Gross-Pitaevskii dynamics, even in the limit of infinite number of particles and at constant interaction parameter when the system becomes 100% condensed. We demonstrate our finding on the dynamics of the center-of-mass position--momentum uncertainty product of a freely expanding as well as of a trapped BEC. This time-dependent many-body phenomenon is explained by the existence of time-dependent correlations which manifest themselves in the system's reduced two-body density matrix used to evaluate the uncertainty product. Our work demonstrates that one has to use a many-body propagation theory to describe an out-of-equilibrium BEC, even in the infinite particle limit.

Obstructive sleep apnea in association with periodontitis: a case-control study
Creators: name: Ahmad, Nuha E.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2012

description: Periodontitis is associated with several cardio-metabolic disorders that are co-morbid with sleep-disordered breathing. A relationship between periodontitis and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is plausible, but has received little attention. Objective: This study investigated the strength of association between periodontitis and risk for OSA. Methods: In this case-control study, cases had moderate or severe periodontitis (n=50; 32.5%) and controls had mild periodontitis, or no periodontitis (n=104; 67.5%). Sixty-one (39.6%) males and 93 (60.4%) females (mean age = 61 years; age range = 19 to 88) were sampled from the dental hygiene preventive care clinic in the School of Dentistry at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill between February and April 2011. Patients received a full mouth periodontal examination that included measurement in all teeth present of probing pocket depths and clinical attachment levels at six sites per tooth The case definition for moderate or severe periodontitis was that of the American Dental Association (ADA). Risk for OSA was determined by the 4-item "STOP" OSA screening questionnaire, which assesses self-reported snoring, excessive daytime sleepiness, witnessed apnea during sleep and history of hypertension. Demographic, general health and orofacial characteristics were recorded that were considered putative predictors of either periodontitis or OSA. A multivariate binary logistic regression assessed odds of moderate or severe periodontitis according to OSA risk with adjustment for potential confounders. Results: In all, 59 (38.3 %) patients screened at high risk for OSA, by providing two or more affirmative responses on the STOP questionnaire. Sixty percent of periodontitis cases (n=30) screened high risk of OSA compared with only 28% (n=29) of controls. Cases were 4.1 times more likely (95% CI: 1.9, 11.4) to be at high risk for OSA than controls (P=0.007) after adjustment for potential confounders including sex, age, smoking, diabetes mellitus and body mass index. Conclusion: A significant association was observed between moderate or severe periodontitis and risk for OSA.

description: The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) is a millimeter-wavelength, very-long-baseline interferometry (VLBI) experiment that is capable of observing black holes with horizon-scale resolution. Early observations have revealed variable horizon-scale emission in the Galactic Center black hole, Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*). Comparing such observations to time-dependent general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (GRMHD) simulations requires statistical tools that explicitly consider the variability in both the data and the models. We develop here a Bayesian method to compare time-resolved simulation images to variable VLBI data, in order to infer model parameters and perform model comparisons. We use mock EHT data based on GRMHD simulations to explore the robustness of this Bayesian method and contrast it to approaches that do not consider the effects of variability. We find that time-independent models lead to offset values of the inferred parameters with artificially reduced uncertainties. Moreover, neglecting the variability in the data and the models often leads to erroneous model selections. We finally apply our method to the early EHT data on Sgr A*.

Alcohol-Involved Assault and Trauma Cue Reactivity in College Students
Creators: name: Job, Greeshma Ann
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2023

description: Alcohol-involved sexual assault (i.e., AIA; sexual assault after consuming alcohol), compared to a non-AIA (i.e., non-AIA; sexual assault without alcohol intoxication), is associated with worse alcohol and trauma-related outcomes, including greater positive alcohol expectancies, alcohol use, coping-oriented drinking motives, and PTSD symptoms. Available animal research supports the notion that alcohol consumption alters fear conditioning and other learning processes, which might account for differences in affective and alcohol-related outcomes between AIA and non-AIA. However, no human laboratory studies to our knowledge have examined conditioned affective responses (i.e., subjective distress and negative affect) and alcohol responses (i.e., craving) as a function of AIA versus non-AIA traumatic memories. The primary aim of the current study was to examine the influence of AIA, compared to non-AIA, on patterns of affective responses (i.e., negative affect, subjective distress) in response to personalized trauma and alcohol cues in a sample of college students with a history of sexual assault. The secondary aim of the current study was to examine the influence of AIA, compared to non-AIA, on subjective craving to trauma and alcohol cues. Participants were 34 college students (67% women; 42% students of color) endorsing sexual assault who participated in a NIAAA-funded study of trauma and alcohol cue reactivity. Forward-fitted linear mixed-effects models and T-tests were conducted to determine differences in baseline and laboratory responses based on AIA status. Individuals endorsing AIA, compared to non-AIA, reported increased past month alcohol consumption, past month binge drinking days, and AUDIT total scores. No other significant baseline differences emerged (ps > .05). The interaction between AIA status and narrative cue was not significantly related to subjective distress, negative affect, or craving. The interaction between AIA status and beverage cue was not significantly related to subjective distress or negative affect. However, the moderating role of AIA in the association between beverage cue and craving was evaluated and results indicate a significant association related to craving, such that participants who endorsed an AIA reported significantly increased levels of craving when presented with the alcohol cue, compared to the neutral cue. No significant differences in reported craving between the alcohol and neutral cue emerged for participants endorsing a non-AIA index. College students that endorse an AIA, compared to non-AIA, may be at risk for increased alcohol consumption (i.e., past month alcohol use, binge drinking) and alcohol craving.

description: We study spin structures on compact simply-connected homogeneous pseudo-Riemannian manifolds (M = G/H, g) of a compact semisimple Lie group G. We classify flag manifolds F = G/H of a compact simple Lie group which are spin. This yields also the classification of all flag manifolds carrying an invariant metaplectic structure. Then we investigate spin structures on principal torus bundles over flag manifolds, i.e. C-spaces, or equivalently simply-connected homogeneous complex manifolds M=G/L of a compact semisimple Lie group G. We study the topology of M and we provide a sufficient and necessary condition for the existence of an (invariant) spin structure, in terms of the Koszul form of F. We also classify all C-spaces which are fibered over an exceptional spin flag manifold and hence they are spin.

description: Graphene plasmons (GPs) have been found to be an exciting plasmonic platform, thanks to their high field confinement and low phase velocity, motivating contemporary research to revisit established concepts in light-matter interaction. In a conceptual breakthrough that is now more than 80 years old, Čerenkov showed how charged particles emit shockwaves of light when moving faster than the phase velocity of light in a medium. To modern eyes, the Čerenkov effect (ČE) offers a direct and ultrafast energy conversion scheme from charge particles to photons. The requirement for relativistic particles, however, makes ČE-emission inaccessible to most nanoscale electronic and photonic devices. We show that GPs provide the means to overcome this limitation through their low phase velocity and high field confinement. The interaction between the charge carriers flowing inside graphene and GPs presents a highly efficient 2D Čerenkov emission, giving a versatile, tunable, and ultrafast conversion mechanism from electrical signal to plasmonic excitation.

description: We have developed a lab work module where we teach undergraduate students how to quantify the dynamics of a suspension of microscopic particles, measuring and analyzing the motion of those particles at the individual level or as a group. Differential Dynamic Microscopy (DDM) is a relatively recent technique that precisely does that and constitutes an alternative method to more classical techniques such as dynamics light scattering (DLS) or video particle tracking (VPT). DDM consists in imaging a particle dispersion with a standard light microscope and a camera. The image analysis requires the students to code and relies on digital Fourier transform to obtain the intermediate scattering function, an autocorrelation function that characterizes the dynamics of the dispersion. We first illustrate DDM on the textbook case of colloids where we measure the diffusion coefficient. Then we show that DDM is a pertinent tool to characterize biologic systems such as motile bacteria i.e.bacteria that can self propel, where we not only determine the diffusion coefficient but also the velocity and the fraction of motile bacteria. Finally, so that our paper can be used as a tutorial to the DDM technique, we have joined to this article movies of the colloidal and bacterial suspensions and the DDM algorithm in both Matlab and Python to analyze the movies.

description: We investigate the morphology of a toroidal fluid membrane vesicle confined inside a spherical container. The equilibrium shapes are assembled in a geometrical phase diagram as a function of scaled area and reduced volume of the membrane. For small area the vesicle can adopt its free form. When increasing the area, the membrane cannot avoid contact and touches the confining sphere along a circular contact line, which extends to a zone of contact for higher area. The elastic energies of the equilibrium shapes are compared to those of their confined counterparts of spherical topology to predict under which conditions a topology change is favored energetically.

description: The eigenvalues of the transmission matrix provide the basis for a full description of the statistics of steady-state transmission and conductance. At the same time, the ability to excite the sample with the waveform of specific transmission eigenchannels allows for control over transmission. However, the nature of pulsed transmission of transmission eigenchannels and their spectral correlation, which would permit control of propagation in the time domain, has not been discussed. Here we report the dramatic variation of the dynamic properties of transmission with incident waveform. Computer simulations show that lower-transmission eigenchannels respond more promptly to an incident pulse and are correlated over a wide frequency range. We explain these results together with the puzzlingly large dynamic range of transmission eigenvalues in terms of the way quasi-normal modes of the medium combine to form specific transmission eigenchannels. Key factors are the closeness of the illuminating waves to resonance with the modes comprising an eigenchannel, their spectral range, and the interference between the modes. We demonstrate in microwave experiments that the modal characteristics of eigenchannels provide the optimum way efficiently excite specific modes of the medium.
description: This paper is an expansion of a previous paper http://arxiv.org/abs/1406.3673 and treats many new issues including pulsed transmission of transmission eigenchannels, correlation between modes and transmission eigenchannels, and the efficient and selective excitation of modes.

Creators: name: Gehring, Kathleen

description: In eighteenth century France, both Montesquieu and Choderlos de Laclos tackled the question of women’s place in society and the notion of female liberation in their epistolary novels, Les Lettres Persanes and Les Liaisons Dangereuses. In creating two strong female protagonists who launch personal attacks on the men who surround them, both authors demonstrate the potential threat that women posed to the male hierarchy if females were to recognize their power and unleash it. Though neither heroine fully succeeds in launching her battle against the society that enslaved them, each makes a case for female freedom and embodies their author’s views on the French regime of absolute monarchy, as is the case with Montesquieu, and the state of women in general, as is the case with Laclos.

description: In this paper the interior of the Schwarzschild black hole, which is presented as a vacuum homogeneous and anisotropic Kantowski-Sachs minisuperspace cosmological model, is considered. Lagrangian of the model is reduced by a suitable coordinate transformation to Lagrangian of two decoupled oscillators with the same frequencies and with zero energy in total (an oscillator-ghost-oscillator system). The model will be presented in a classical, a p-adic and a noncommutative case. Then, within the standard quantum approach Wheeler-DeWitt equation and its general solutions, i.e. a wave function of the model, will be written, and then an adelic wave function will be constructed. Finally, thermodynamics of the model will be studied by using the Feynman-Hibbs procedure.

description: The study aimed to compare and evaluate the effectiveness of enterprises processing and trading dairy products in Poland and Ukraine. Milk processing is an important sector of food production. Milk and milk products account for about 14% of world trade in agricultural products. The five largest companies from Poland and Ukraine were selected for the study. Evaluation of the effectiveness of dairy enterprises required the adoption of appropriate indices. Therefore, the research considered, above all, the indices characterizing the profitability of the surveyed companies as the basic ones in the evaluation of the financial condition of enterprises. In addition, the evaluation included the surveyed enterprises’ return on sales, assets, and equity. The analyses were performed based on data available in the EMIS database for 2016-2020. In Poland, the milk processing sector was in a relatively good financial condition, although the profitability ratios were not too high. Profitability ratios have long been lower than the food industry average and have fallen even further in recent years. The data show that the return on equity slightly exceeded the interest rate on bank deposits and treasury bonds. In Ukrainian enterprises, the return on equity, assets, and sales was much higher, but it was also characterized by high volatility.
Why Bohmian Mechanics? one and two-time position measurements, Bell inequalities, philosophy and physics

description: In Bohmian mechanics particles follow continuous trajectories, hence 2-time position correlations are well defined. Nevertheless, Bohmian mechanics predicts the violation of Bell inequalities. Motivated by this fact we investigate position measurements in Bohmian mechanics by coupling the particles to macroscopic pointers. This explains the violation of Bell inequalities despite 2-time position correlations. We relate this fact to so-called surrealistic trajectories that, in our model, correspond to slowly moving pointers. Next, we emphasize that the nice feature of Bohmian mechanics, which doesn't distinguish microscopic and macroscopic systems, implies that the quantum weirdness of quantum physics also shows up at the macro-scale. Finally, we discuss the fact that Bohmian mechanics is attractive to philosophers, but not so much to physicists and argue that the Bohmian community is responsible for the latter.

description: Poster presented by Esther Plomp for the Research Data Alliance 16th Plenary Meeting. Reproducible research is necessary to ensure that scientific work can be trusted. By sharing data, analysis code and the computational environment used to generate the results, researchers can more effectively stand on the shoulders of their peers and colleagues and deliver high quality, trustworthy and verifiable outputs. This requires skills in data management, library sciences, software development, and continuous integration techniques: skills that are not widely taught or expected of academic researchers. Skills that are unreasonable, in fact, to expect in one individual team member. The Turing Way (https://the-turing-way.netlify.com) is a handbook to support students, their supervisors, funders and journal editors in ensuring that reproducible research is "too easy not to do". It includes training material on version control, analysis testing, collaborating in distributed groups, open and transparent communication skills, and effective management of diverse research projects.

description: There is no mind-matter problem in practice: we go with ease between the material world of things and the mental realm of ideas as we think about things and make things we think of (e.g., this abstract). Here we solve the attendant theoretical problem, i.e. we present a conceptual repertoire needed to develop a declarative understanding of conscious participation in the practice of everyday life. We begin with: res extensa vs. res cogitans, and the corresponding dual: change vs. unity. Next, we show how to objectify change, which accounts for the perceptual objectification of physical contrasts into people, things, and their peccadilloes populating our conscious experience. Change, in turn, is natural (or not-a-miracle), i.e., unity-respecting change. We find, in the light of our theory, that the effectiveness of mathematics---understood as the broad objective logic of qualities resulting from quantitative variations---in the natural sciences, which include social, psychological, biological, and physical, is reasonable. We conclude with an application of our theory: show how artificial intelligence (AI) can advance by bridging across the hitherto insurmountable schism: statistical vs. mathematical.

description: The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory, LIGO, found direct evidence for double black hole binaries emitting gravitational waves. Galactic nuclei are expected to harbor the densest population of stellar-mass black holes. A significant fraction ($\sim30\%$) of these black holes can reside in binaries. We examine the fate of the black hole binaries in active galactic nuclei, which get trapped in the inner region of the accretion disk around the central supermassive black hole. We show that binary black holes can migrate into and then rapidly merge within the disk well within a Salpeter time. The binaries may also accrete a significant amount of gas from the disk, well above the Eddington rate. This could lead to detectable X-ray or gamma-ray emission, but would require hyper-Eddington accretion with a few percent radiative efficiency, comparable to thin disks. We discuss implications for gravitational wave observations and black hole population studies. We estimate that Advanced LIGO may detect $\sim20$ such, gas-induced binary mergers per year.

Background Image Generation Using Boolean Operations

description: Tracking moving objects from a video sequence requires segmentation of these objects from the background image. However, getting the actual background image automatically without object detection and using only the video is difficult. In this paper, we describe a novel algorithm that generates background from real world images without foreground detection. The algorithm assumes that the background image is shown in the majority of the video. Given this simple assumption, the method described in this paper is able to accurately generate, with high probability, the background image from a video using only a small number of binary operations.

description: We demonstrate a scheme for magneto-optically trapping strontium monofluoride (SrF) molecules at temperatures one order of magnitude lower and phase space densities three orders of magnitude higher than obtained previously with laser-cooled molecules. In our trap, optical dark states are destabilized by rapidly and synchronously reversing the trapping laser polarizations and the applied magnetic field gradient. The number of molecules and trap lifetime are also significantly improved from previous work by loading the trap with high laser power and then reducing the power for long-term trapping. With this procedure, temperatures as low as 400 $μ$K are achieved.

Optimal Currents on Arbitrarily Shaped Surfaces

description: An optimization problem has been formulated to find a resonant current extremizing various antenna parameters. The method is presented on, but not limited to, particular cases of gain $G$, quality factor $Q$, gain to quality factor ratio $G/Q$, and radiation efficiency $η$ of canonical shapes with conduction losses explicitly included. The Rao-Wilton-Glisson basis representation is used to simplify the underlying algebra while still allowing surface current regions of arbitrary shape to be treated. By switching to another basis generated by a specific eigenvalue problem, it is finally shown that the optimal current can, in principle, be found as a combination of a few eigenmodes. The presented method constitutes a general framework in which the antenna parameters, expressed as bilinear forms, can automatically be extremized.

description: The natural neutron background influences the maximum achievable sensitivity in most deep underground nuclear, astroparticle and double-beta decay physics experiments. Reliable neutron flux numbers are an important ingredient in the design of the shielding of new large-scale experiments as well as in the analysis of experimental data. Using a portable setup of He-3 counters we measured the thermal neutron flux at the Kimballton Underground Research Facility, the Soudan Underground Laboratory, on the 4100 ft and the 4850 ft levels of the Sanford Underground Research Facility, at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant and at the Gran Sasso National Laboratory. Absolute neutron fluxes at these laboratories are presented.
