description: Background: Stepped-wedge cluster randomized trials (SW-CRTs), which randomize clusters to times at which they transition from control to intervention arms, are an increasingly popular design for evaluating health system and policy interventions. Reporting of SW-CRTs should ideally be guided by the 2018 CONSORT extension for SW-CRTs. Although substantial methodological development has taken place in recent years, several gaps remain in our knowledge about the best practices for the design, analysis, and reporting of SW-CRTs. Objectives: We are undertaking a methodological systematic review of SW-CRTs published 2016-2022. Our primary objectives are to describe current methods and practices for handling covariates (number of and types of covariates) in the design and analysis of SW-CRTs; examine adherence to CONSORT guidelines around reporting of covariates including balance at baseline; and identify prevalent issues in SW-CRTs and gaps in the methodological literature. Methods: We will identify primary reports of SW-CRTs published in English 2016-2022 from three sources: a previously published review covering 2020 to 2021, an existing database of pragmatic trials published 2014-2019, and an updated search capturing trials up to 2022. A data extraction form will be used to standardize the extraction of information about the trials. Analyses will be primarily descriptive in nature.

description: Porous cellulose acetate membranes were suspended over 75 micron wide silicon microchannels. The microchannels are formed when a viscous polymer lacquer is directly spin cast onto etched silicon cavities (Fig. 1). Standard fabrication processes are used to create the channel, preventing the need for adhesives, substrate bonding, or other complex assembly procedures. These microchannels can allow the isolation and concentration of specific biological molecules.

Quantum secure two party computation for set intersection with rational players

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Recently, Shi et al. (Phys. Rev. A, 2015) proposed Quantum Oblivious Set Member Decision Protocol (QOSMDP) where two legitimate parties, namely Alice and Bob, play a game. Alice has a secret $k$ and Bob has a set $\{k_1,k_2,\cdots k_n\}$. The game is designed towards testing if the secret $k$ is a member of the set possessed by Bob without revealing the identity of $k$. The output of the game will be either "Yes" (bit $1$) or "No" (bit $0$) and is generated at Bob's place. Bob does not know the identity of $k$ and Alice does not know any element of the set. In a subsequent work (Quant. Inf. Process., 2016), the authors proposed a quantum scheme for Private Set Intersection (PSI) where the client (Alice) gets the intersected elements with the help of a server (Bob) and the server knows nothing. In the present draft, we extended the game to compute the intersection of two computationally indistinguishable sets $X$ and $Y$ possessed by Alice and Bob respectively. We consider Alice and Bob as rational players, i.e., they are neither "good" nor "bad". They participate in the game towards maximizing their utilities. We prove that in this rational setting, the strategy profile $((cooperate, abort), (cooperate, abort)$) is a strict Nash equilibrium. If $((cooperate, abort), (cooperate, abort)$) is strict Nash, then fairness as well as correctness of the protocol are guaranteed.

description: In Italy the deep crisis of the judicial system, and in particular of the jail system, has allowed the development of an intense deinstitutionalization. A new Italian law (81/2014) recently established dismission of all Psychiatric Forensic Hospitals and the transferring of old and new “forensic” patients to the Rems (Residence for the implementation of security measures) or local Mental Health Department, at time in many instances in the same common settings of acute psychiatric services, community and territorial psychiatry mixed with “common” psychiatric patients. This change already introduced several problems, also legal, with strong preoccupation among operators, other patients and public opinion as concerns both treatment efficiency and safety of the cure.

description: I review attempts made to determine the properties of neutron stars. The focus is on the maximum mass that a neutron star can have, or, conversely, the minimum mass required for the formation of a black hole. There appears to be only one neutron star for which there is strong evidence that its mass is above the canonical 1.4 solar masses, viz., Vela X-1, for which a mass close to 1.9 solar masses is found. Prospects for progress appear brightest for studies of systems in which the neutron star should have accreted substantial amounts of matter.

We demonstrate that the chemical potential term in the QCD Lagrangian has precisely the same symmetry. Consequently the QCD matter beyond the chiral restoration line on the T - μplane is at least approximately SU(2)_CS and SU(2N_F) symmetric.

description: Background: Food and beverage marketing has been identified as an environmental determinant of childhood obesity. The purpose of this study is to assess whether the Uniform Nutrition Criteria established and implemented by companies participating in the self-regulatory Canadian Children’s Food and Beverage Advertising Initiative (CAI) had an impact on the healthfulness of food and beverage advertising during television programming with a high share of children in the viewing audience. Methods: Data on food advertising were licensed from Numeris for 27 television stations for Toronto for May 2013 and May 2016 (i.e. before and after the implementation of the nutrition criteria). First, television programs that had a child audience share of ≥35% (when the nutrition criteria applied) were identified. Ten percent of these programs were randomly selected and included in the study. After identifying the food and beverage ads that aired during these programs, the nutritional information of advertised products was collected and their healthfulness was assessed using the Pan-American Health Organization (PAHO) and UK Nutrient Profile Models (NPM). The healthfulness of CAI products advertised in May 2013 and 2016 was compared using Chi-square tests. Results: Although in May 2016, products advertised by CAI companies were more likely to be categorized as healthier by the UK NPM (21.5% versus 6.7%, χ2(1) = 12.1,p = 000) compared to those advertised in May 2013, the frequency of advertised products considered less healthy in May 2016 remained very high (78.5%) and comparable to that of products advertised by companies not participating in the CAI (80.0% categorized as less healthy). Furthermore, in both May 2013 and May 2016, 99–100% of CAI advertisements featured products deemed excessive in either fat (total, saturated, trans), sodium or free sugars according to the PAHO NPM. Conclusions: Despite modest improvements noted after the implementation of the CAI’s Uniform Nutrition Criteria, the healthfulness of most products advertised during programs with a high share of children in the viewing audience remains poor. Mandatory regulations are needed.

description: As stated in its statute, the Italian National Institute of Health (Istituto Superiore di Sanità) “pursues the protection of public health, especially through the exercise of research, control, consultancy, regulatory and training activities”. The “Code of Ethics of the Italian National Institute of Health” is divided into five parts: integrity in research, conflicts of interest, trials with human subjects, public health, experiments involving animals. The Code is based on a wealth of established and widely shared values affirmed in the key documents on the subject. The ethical principles, values and criteria affirmed in the Code reflect the multitude and broad range of activities and functions performed by the Institute. An important question is how to define “health”. Beyond the difficulty of defining health is figuring out how to value it and how to weigh the health of a single, identified person against the health of many, unidentified people. The Code helps grapple with these and other difficult questions like the concept of consent. It arises from the ethical principle of patient autonomy. Hence, obtaining consent is a must for anything other than a routine physical examination. It can be defined as an instrument of mutual communication between doctor and patient with an expression of choice by the latter for the doctor to act in a particular way.

description: We present a new and simpler expression for the Hamiltonian of the partially isotropic (XXZ-like) version of the Haldane-Shastry model, which was derived by D. Uglov over two decades ago in an apparently little-known preprint. While resembling the pairwise long-range form of the Haldane-Shastry model our formula accounts for the multi-spin interactions obtained by Uglov. Our expression is physically meaningful, makes hermiticity manifest, and is computationally more efficient. We discuss the model's properties, including its limits and (ordinary and quantum-affine) symmetries. In particular we introduce the appropriate notions of translational invariance and momentum. We review the model's exact spectrum found by Uglov for finite spin-chain length, which parallels the isotropic case up to level splitting due to the anisotropy. We also extend the partially isotropic model to higher rank, with $SU(n)$ 'spins', for which the spectrum is determined by $\mathfrak{sl}_n$-motifs.

Quarkonium Polarization in the NRQCD Factorization Framework

Year: 1996
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The NRQCD factorization approach for calculating inclusive production of heavy quarkonium gives unambiguous predictions for the polarization of quarkonium states. The factorization formula for polarized states can be obtained by using the threshold expansion method to calculate the short-distance coefficients and then using symmetries of NRQD to reduce the NRQCD matrix elements. A particularly dramatic prediction of the NRQCD factorization framework is that prompt psi's and psi-primes's produced at the Tevatron should be predominantly transversely polarized at large transverse momentum.

description: General-relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (GRMHD) simulations are an important tool to study a variety of astrophysical systems such as neutron star mergers, core-collapse supernovae, and accretion onto compact objects. A conservative GRMHD scheme numerically evolves a set of conservation equations for 'conserved' quantities and requires the computation of certain primitive variables at every time step. This recovery procedure constitutes a core part of any conservative GRMHD scheme and it is closely tied to the equation of state (EOS) of the fluid. In the quest to include nuclear physics, weak interactions, and neutrino physics, state-of-the-art GRMHD simulations employ finite-temperature, composition-dependent EOSs. While different schemes have individually been proposed, the recovery problem still remains a major source of error, failure, and inefficiency in GRMHD simulations with advanced microphysics. The strengths and weaknesses of the different schemes when compared to each other remain unclear. Here we present the first systematic comparison of various recovery schemes used in different dynamical spacetime GRMHD codes for both analytic and tabulated microphysical EOSs. We assess the schemes in terms of (i) speed, (ii) accuracy, and (iii) robustness. We find large variations among the different schemes and that there is not a single ideal scheme. While the computationally most efficient schemes are less robust, the most robust schemes are computationally less efficient. More robust schemes may require an order of magnitude more calls to the EOS, which are computationally expensive. We propose an optimal strategy of an efficient three-dimensional Newton-Raphson scheme and a slower but more robust one-dimensional scheme as a fall-back.

description: This paper defines and evaluates a pilot implementation of a recently developed approach to realtime, adaptive traffic signal control. The pilot system, which is called SURTRAC (Scalable Urban Traffic Control), integrates concepts from traffic control theory with recent work in the field of multi-agent planning and has several important distinguishing characteristics. First, to promote scalability and reliability, SURTRAC operates in a totally decentralized manner; each intersection independently and asynchronously allocates its green time, based on current incoming vehicle flows. Second, SURTRAC aims at managing urban (grid-like) road networks with multiple (competing) traffic flows; network-level coordination is accomplished by communicating projected outflows to downstream neighbors, which gives these intersections a more informed basis for locally balancing competing inflows while simultaneously promoting establishment of larger "green corridors". Third, SURTRAC truly operates in real-time; each intersection recomputes its allocation plan and re-communicates projected outflows as frequently as once per second in rolling horizon fashion, enabling both effective operation in tightly spaced signal networks and responsiveness to sudden changes in traffic conditions. After describing our basic approach to adaptive traffic signal control and the pilot implementation of SURTRAC, we present the results of a field test conducted on a nine-intersection road network in the East Liberty section of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. In this pilot test, SURTRAC is seen to achieve major reductions in travel times and vehicle emissions over pre-existing signal control.

description: Maxima of the scalar dissipation rate in turbulence appear in form of sheets and correspond to the potentially most intensive scalar mixing events. Their cross-section extension determines a locally varying diffusion scale of the mixing process and extends the classical Batchelor picture of one mean diffusion scale. The distribution of the local diffusion scales is analysed for different Reynolds and Schmidt numbers with a fast multiscale technique applied to very high-resolution simulation data. The scales take always values across the whole Batchelor range and beyond. Furthermore, their distribution is traced back to the distribution of the contractive short-time Lyapunov exponent of the flow.

Radiative Processes and Geometry of Spectral States of Black-Hole Binaries
Creators: name: Zdziarski, Andrzej A.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2000
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: I review radiative processes responsible for X-ray emission in the hard (low) and soft (high) spectral states of black-hole binaries. The main process in the hard state appears to be thermal Comptonization (in a hot plasma) of blackbody photons emitted by a cold disk. This is supported by correlations between the spectral index, the strength of Compton reflection, and the peak frequencies in the power density spectrum, as well as by the frequency-dependence of Fourier-resolved spectra. Spectral variability may then be driven by the variable truncation radius of the disk. The soft state appears to correspond to the smallest truncation radii. However, the lack of high-energy cutoffs observed in the soft state implies that its main radiative process is Compton scattering of disk photons by non-thermal electrons. The bulk-motion Componization model for the soft state is shown to be ruled out by the data.

Greece as Europe’s Aspida: Acting as a Shield in an Era of Biopolitical Warfare
Creators: name: Varvaresos, Tina
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2020

description: This Major Research Paper (MRP) seeks to critically examine a novel approach to border security and migration management put forward by Glenda Garelli and Martina Tazzioli (2018A) entitled biopolitical warfare. Biopolitical warfare defines interventions, tactics, and techniques that seek to contain, divert, disrupt, or decelerate migrants’ mobility as a form of hybrid warfare. In doing so, biopolitical warfare seeks to call attention to the critical violence that migrants often face in their journeys from the EU and EU Member States. At the time of this writing, Garelli and Tazzioli’s scholarship on biopolitical warfare is the only known scholarship on the subject with regards to migration management. In light of the limited scholarship, this MRP seeks to take the authors’ work further by applying the biopolitical warfare approach to the most recent Greece-Turkey border crisis of March 2020. This paper begins by situating biopolitical warfare via an examination of the relevant academic scholarship that informs the approach: namely, (in)securitization theory; the securitization of migration; and military-humanitarianism. Next, this MRP defines biopolitical warfare, and establishes an understanding of both the “biopolitical” and “warfare” components of the framework. A brief examination of the case study and responses to the crisis follows. Finally, a discussion section explores the relevance and potential future avenues for biopolitical warfare scholarship. Through an examination of the most recent crisis, this MRP has found that the biopolitical warfare approach can be applied in border security and migration management interventions that operate on land, complimenting Garelli and Tazzioli’s initial scholarship that examined sea-based interventions, thereby positioning biopolitical warfare as a strong analytic approach for examining border security and migration management operations in the EU. Keywords: Biopolitical warfare; migration management; border security; securitization theory.

description: An electrostatically driven, pneumatic actuator able to generate surface-normal deflections is described. Two sealed, air-filled, concentric chambers that share a membrane and are connected by channels make up the actuator. The portion of the membrane suspended over the outer chamber serves as the movable electrode plate while the conducting substrate acts as the fixed, opposing electrode plate of an electrostatic actuator. When a voltage is applied across the two plates, the outer-chamber membrane deflects towards the substrate, decreasing the volume in the outer chamber. The decreased volume produces a concomitant increase in the pressure in both the outer and inner chamber, causing the membrane over the inner chamber to deflect away from the substrate. The deflection of the membrane over the inner chamber is not only in the opposite direction to the outer membrane deflection, but is also amplified. Prototype surface-normal actuators have been fabricated with inner chamber radii ranging between 100 and 250 μm and outer chamber radii ranging between 200 and 750 μm.

We give detailed predictions of their quasi-two-body branching fractions and identify characteristic decay modes that can isolate quarkonia. Several of the ``missing mesons'' with L$_{q\bar q}=2$ and L$_{q\bar q}=3$ are predicted to decay dominantly into certain S+P and S+D modes, and should appear in experimental searches for hybrids in the same mass region. We also consider the topical issues of whether some of the recently discovered or controversial meson resonances, including glueball and hybrid candidates, can be accommodated as quarkonia.

Linearisation instability of gravity waves?
Creators: name: Maartens, Roy
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1996
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Gravity waves in irrotational dust spacetimes are characterised by nonzero magnetic Weyl tensor $H_{ab}$. In the linearised theory, the divergence of $H_{ab}$ is set to zero. Recently Lesame et al. [Phys. Rev. D {\bf 53}, 738 (1996)] presented an argument to show that, in the exact nonlinear theory, $div H=0$ forces $H_{ab}=0$, thus implying a linearisation instability for gravity waves interacting with matter. However a sign error in the equations invalidates their conclusion. Bianchi type V spacetimes are shown to include examples with $div H=0\neq H_{ab}$. An improved covariant formalism is used to show that in a generic irrotational dust spacetime, the covariant constraint equations are preserved under evolution. It is shown elsewhere that $\mbox{div} H=0$ does not generate further conditions.

description: We utilize near-infrared femtosecond pulses to investigate coherent phonon oscillations of Ca2RuO4. The coherent Ag phonon mode of the lowest frequency changes abruptly not only its amplitude but also the oscillation-phase as the spin order develops. In addition, the phonon mode shows a redshift entering the magnetically ordered state, which indicates a spin-phonon coupling in the system. Density functional theory calculations reveal that the Ag oscillations result in octahedral tilting distortions, which are exactly in sync with the lattice deformation driven by the magnetic ordering. We suggest that the structural distortions by the spin-phonon coupling can induce the unusual oscillation-phase shift between impulsive and displacive type oscillations.

Subjects: end of life care; end of life legislation; withholding/withdrawing treatments; palliative sedation; euthanasia

description: In comparison with some European countries such as Germany, Spain, France, and UK, Italy has no end of life legislation even now. From a clinical point of view, there is in western countries today a sound evidence supporting that the best scientific and ethical approach to the end of life issues is based on four fundamental principles: shared decision making process with patient and family; rejection of dying process marked by the suffering anddisproportionate treatments; withholding/withdrawing treatments and palliative sedation as active contributionsto suppress the patient suffering and painat the end of life; clear-cut difference between these clinical and ethical optionsand euthanasia. In this sense, Italian clinicians need a law able to guarantee inend of life setting, the autonomy of doctor-patient-families relationship, respecting the different cultures and religious or nonreligious approachesto life and death,as well as different biographical and biological story of everyone.At the same time, this law should be able also to provide physicians with alegal coverageto make allthe necessary choicesregarding the increasingly complex connection between disease and death and modern clinicalpractice on one hand, and relatedhuman vicissitudes on the other hand.

description: We demonstrate that interfaces between two nonlinear periodic photonic lattices offer unique possibilities for controlling nonlinear interaction between different spectral components of polychromatic light, and a change in the light spectrum can have a dramatic effect on the propagation along the interface. We predict the existence of polychromatic surface solitons which differ fundamentally from their counterparts in infinite lattices.

description: For registration of 3-D free-form surfaces we have developed a representation which requires no knowledge of the transformation between views. The representation comprises descriptive images associated with oriented points on the surface of an object. Constructed using single point bases, these images are data level shape descriptions that are used for efficient matching of oriented points. Correlation of images is used to establish point correspondences between two views; from these correspondences a rigid transformation that aligns the views is calculated. The transformation is then refined and verified using a modified iterative closest point algorithm. To demonstrate the generality of our approach, we present results from multiple sensing domains.
Using Saccadic Eye Movement Latencies to Measure Retinal Summation Areas
Creators: name: Deonandan, Raywat
name: Hallett, Peter
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 1997

description: A visual tracking method was used to estimate the size of a possible retinal summation area in humans. Stepping luminous targets were presented to subjects whose eye movements were tracked by an infrared device. The size and intensity of the targets were reciprocally adjusted to give constant luminous power at the eye. At a retinal eccentricity of 5 degrees from the fovea, saccadic latency to relatively intense constant-power targets changed little for targets of up to 0,7-1.25 degree diameter, leading to the conclusion that the actual summation area, if one exists, might be of that same size.

No exceptional precision of exceptional point sensors
Creators: name: Langbein, W.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Applied Physics (physics.app-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Recently, sensors with resonances at exceptional points (EPs) have been suggested to have a vastly improved sensitivity due to the extraordinary scaling of the complex frequency splitting of the $n$ initially degenerate modes with the $n$-th root of the perturbation. We show here that the resulting quantum-limited signal to noise at EPs is proportional to the perturbation, and comparable to other sensors, thus providing the same precision. The complex frequency splitting close to EPs is therefore not suited to estimate the precision of EP sensors. The underlying reason of this counter-intuitive result is that the mode fields, described by the eigenvectors, are equal for all modes at the EP, and are strongly changing with the perturbation.

Improving Phylogenetic Signals of Mitochondrial Genes Using a New Method of Codon Degeneration

Subjects: codon degeneration

description: Recovering deep phylogeny is challenging with animal mitochondrial genes because of their rapid evolution. Codon degeneration decreases the phylogenetic noise and bias by aiming to achieve two objectives: (1) alleviate the bias associated with nucleotide composition, which may lead to homoplasy and long-branch attraction, and (2) reduce differences in the phylogenetic results between nucleotide-based and amino acid (AA)-based analyses. The discrepancy between nucleotide-based analysis and AA-based analysis is partially caused by some synonymous codons that differ more from each other at the nucleotide level than from some nonsynonymous codons, e.g., Leu codon TTR in the standard genetic code is more similar to Phe codon TTY than to synonymous CTN codons. Thus, nucleotide similarity conflicts with AA similarity. There are many such examples involving other codon families in various mitochondrial genetic codes. Proper codon degeneration will make synonymous codons more similar to each other at the nucleotide level than they are to nonsynonymous codons. Here, I illustrate a "principled" codon degeneration method that achieves these objectives. The method was applied to resolving the mammalian basal lineage and phylogenetic position of rheas among ratites. The codon degeneration method was implemented in the user-friendly and freely available DAMBE software for all known genetic codes (genetic codes 1 to 33).
The Chemical Evolution of the Galaxy: the two-infall model

description: In this paper we present a new chemical evolution model for the Galaxy which assumes two main infall episodes for the formation of halo-thick disk and thin disk, respectively. We do not try to take into account explicitly the evolution of the halo but we implicitly assume that the timescale for the formation of the halo was of the same order as the timescale for the formation of the thick disk. The formation of the thin-disk is much longer than that of the thick disk, implying that the infalling gas forming the thin-disk comes not only from the thick disk but mainly from the intergalactic medium. The timescale for the formation of the thin-disk is assumed to be a function of the galactocentric distance, leading to an inside-out picture for the Galaxy building. The model takes into account the most up to date nucleosynthesis prescriptions and adopts a threshold in the star formation process which naturally produces a hiatus in the star formation rate at the end of the thick disk phase, as suggested by recent observations. The model results are compared with an extended set of observational constraints. Among these constraints, the tightest one is the metallicity distribution of the G-dwarf stars for which new data are now available. Our model fits very well these new data. We show that in order to reproduce most of these constraints a timescale $\le 1$ Gyr for the (halo)-thick-disk and of 8 Gyr for the thin-disk formation in the solar vicinity are required. We predict that the radial abundance gradients in the inner regions of the disk ($R< R_{\odot}$) are steeper than in the outer regions, a result confirmed by recent abundance determinations, and that the inner ones steepen in time during the Galactic lifetime.

description: We derive semiclassical periodic orbit expansions for a correlation function of the Wigner time delay. We consider the Fourier transform of the two-point correlation function, the form factor $K(τ,x,y,M)$, that depends on the number of open channels $M$, a non-symmetry breaking parameter $x$, and a symmetry breaking parameter $y$. Several terms in the Taylor expansion about $τ=0$, which depend on all parameters, are shown to be identical to those obtained from Random Matrix Theory.

description: The direct manipulation of individual atoms in materials using scanning probe microscopy has been a seminal achievement of nanotechnology. Recent advances in imaging resolution and sample stability have made scanning transmission electron microscopy a promising alternative for single-atom manipulation of covalently bound materials. Pioneering experiments using an atomically focused electron beam have demonstrated the directed movement of silicon atoms over a handful of sites within the graphene lattice. Here, we achieve a much greater degree of control, allowing us to precisely move silicon impurities along an extended path, circulating a single hexagon, or back and forth between the two graphene sublattices. Even with manual operation, our manipulation rate is already comparable to the state-of-the-art in any atomically precise technique. We further explore the influence of electron energy on the manipulation rate, supported by improved theoretical modeling taking into account the vibrations of atoms near the impurities, and implement feedback to detect manipulation events in real time. In addition to atomic-level engineering of its structure and properties, graphene also provides an excellent platform for refining the accuracy of quantitative models and for the development of automated manipulation.
