Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Background: Adults with type 1 diabetes face many challenges in achieving their glycemic targets. These challenges can lead individuals with type 1 diabetes to feel that their disease intrudes on their life. Illness intrusiveness can negatively impact an individual’s well-being and quality of life and potential influence glucose parameters. Objective: This study was performed to investigate the relationships among treatment factors (treatment satisfaction); disease factors (disease duration), psychological factors (fear of hypoglycemia, anxiety, and depression; illness intrusiveness; and the primary outcomes of glucose parameters, including glycemic control and glycemic variability. Method: This secondary analysis employed a descriptive correlational design using pooled data from three parent studies. The sample included 74 adults (41.9% male) with type 1 diabetes (mean age 26.7 years) using insulin pump therapy. Four instruments, including the Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire, Hypoglycemia Fear Survey-II, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, and Illness Intrusiveness Rating Scale, were used to collect participant data regarding treatment satisfaction, fear of hypoglycemia, anxiety and depression, and illness intrusiveness. Glycemic control was measured with hemoglobin A1C in the full sample of 74 participants. Glycemic variability was measured with continuous glucose monitoring technology in a subset of 21 participants. Results: Treatment satisfaction, disease duration, fear of hypoglycemia, anxiety, depression, jointly predicted 23.6% of the variance in A1C (R2 = .239, F(8,65) = 2.508, p = .019) in a model adjusted for sociodemographic characteristics. Fear of hypoglycemia had a partial indirect effect on A1C through illness intrusiveness. In terms of glycemic variability, treatment satisfaction, disease duration, FOH, anxiety, and depression jointly predicted 74.7% of the variance in illness intrusiveness (R2 = .747, F(5,15) = 8.836, p<.001). However, none of these determinants were a predictor of glycemic variability. Conclusion: The study’s findings revealed that fear of hypoglycemia had partial indirect effect on A1C through illness intrusiveness. These results will broaden healthcare providers’ understanding and perspectives regarding illness intrusiveness. Furthermore, the findings will provide foundational information for the development of interventions to reduce illness intrusiveness among adults with type 1 diabetes.

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Nonwovens, as new engineered fabrics using polymers were first created in the 20th century. They were rapidly manufactured and put in daily use because of their low cost and competitive properties compared to traditional knitted fabrics and textiles. Nonwoven fabrics can be manufactured in several ways, such as spunbonding, meltblowing, needle punching, electrospinning, and so on. They are widely used in multiple fields, such as medical and personal care, construction, and daily-use products. The main objective of this thesis is to investigate the nonwoven formation process and nonwoven applications to develop a tool for product innovations in related applications. Specifically, a theoretical and computational description of the spunbond process is developed, which provides a global view of spunbond product innovation by manipulating processing parameters. Nonwoven products in the filtration field are innovated using electrospinning, targeting both COVID-19-sized particles and proteins, which are expected to be pioneer ideas for actual industrialized applications.

Platforms

description: Large-scale digital platforms designed by corporate publishers are increasingly shaping and reconfiguring all aspects of knowledge production and circulation. In the process, these platforms are reshaping the governance of academic labour in powerful but invisible ways. While designed to capitalize on the extraction, collection, and analysis of big data and their traces generated by researchers and their institutions, these platforms create new markets and fashion new „values“ in the forms of analytics that researchers seek. The AI in the title of this talk does not refer to Artificial Intelligence, although this is highly implicated in
 platform design and its logic. AI in this context refers to Automating Inequality, a term borrowed from Virginia Eubanks’ book Automating Inequality: How High-Tech Tools Profile, Police, and Punish the Poor. Analogous to Eubanks’ study, I argue that the predominant knowledge platform design favours the already „rich“ in scholarly capital and institutional advantages and punishes the scholarly poor and those on the epistemic margins. Far from a democratizing force, open science has become a practice of
 complying with standards and with funders’ policy and mandates, which further exacerbates deep-seated inequality. Reflecting on our many failed attempts at reclaiming the knowledge commons and co-creating open infrastructure, I call for new imaginaries and narratives of what open scholarship may look like or aspire to be. As infrastructures are fundamentally relational, we need to ask what kind of relationships we want to nourish.

description: Recent observations of large-scale asymmetric features in protoplanetary disks suggest that large-scale vortices exist in such disks. Massive planets are known to be able to produce deep gaps in protoplanetary disks. The gap edges could become hydrodynamically unstable to the Rossby wave/vortex instability and form large-scale vortices. In this study we examine the long term evolution of these vortices by carrying out high-resolution two dimensional hydrodynamic simulations that last more than $10^4$ orbits (measured at the planet's orbit). We find that the disk viscosity has a strong influence on both the emergence and lifetime of vortices. In the outer disk region where asymmetric features are observed, our simulation results suggest that the disk viscous $α$ needs to be low $\sim 10^{-5 }$ - $10^{-4}$ to sustain vortices to thousands and up to $10^{4}$ orbits in certain cases. The chance of finding a vortex feature in a disk then decreases with smaller planet orbital radius. For $α\sim 10^{-3}$ or larger, even planets with masses of 5 Jupiter-masses will have difficulty either producing or sustaining vortices. We have also studied the effects of different disk temperatures and planet masses. We discuss the implications of our findings on current and future protoplanetary disk observations.

Sleep Characteristics and Cardiovascular Disease Risk Among Thai Women

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Purpose and Background: Sleep disturbances (i.e. poor sleep quality, low sleep efficiency, and Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)) are common during the menopausal transition and menopause. These disturbances are risk factors for Cardiovascular Disease (CVD), obesity, hypertension, and diabetes, with poor long-term outcomes. However, the association of sleep disturbances and CVD risk among Thai women, living in the US, have not been fully explored. Thus, this study examined the association between sleep characteristics and CVD risk in Thai women in Illinois. Theoretical/Conceptual Framework: Grandner’s (2010) Social-ecological Model of Sleep, based on Bronfenbrenner’s (1977) Social-ecological Theory was used as a theoretical framework for this study. The model presents the downstream negative effects of sleep on CVD risk and the upstream determinants to sleep and CVD risk. Methods: Using a cross-sectional descriptive design, 120 Thai women were recruited. The participants completed the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Berlin questionnaire, and Menopause Rating Scale. The CVD risk was calculated using the BMI-based Framingham Risk Score (FRS). Descriptive, bivariate, robust regression with Structural Equation Model (SEM) analysis were performed using STATA 15.1. Results: The average CVD risk score was 6.56 % (SD=5.74) and 20 (17%) participants were classified as having high risk of CVD. The mean subjective sleep quality measured by PSQI was 4.18 (SD=3.03). The majority of participants were good sleepers (n=97, 80.83%). The mean sleep efficiency was 95.36 percent (SD=5.96). A small portion of the participants had a high risk of OSA (n=17, 14.17%). Only the increased risk of OSA was significantly associated with higher CVD risk (B=4.601, p<0.001). Conclusions: The findings of this study indicated that an increased risk of OSA can increase the risk of developing CVD. Sleep disturbances, especially OSA, may be modifiable risk factors to prevent CVD. Future studies may consider developing interventions to improve sleep and treat sleep disturbances to prevent CVD. Additionally, future studies may investigate the role of other sleep-related factors which may be correlated with CVD risk in other populations.

description: In this paper we propose a general framework for topic-specific summarization of large text corpora and illustrate how it can be used for the analysis of news databases. Our framework, concise comparative summarization (CCS), is built on sparse classification methods. CCS is a lightweight and flexible tool that offers a compromise between simple word frequency based methods currently in wide use and more heavyweight, model-intensive methods such as latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA). We argue that sparse methods have much to offer for text analysis and hope CCS opens the door for a new branch of research in this important field. For a particular topic of interest (e.g., China or energy), CSS automatically labels documents as being either on- or off-topic (usually via keyword search), and then uses sparse classification methods to predict these labels with the high-dimensional counts of all the other words and phrases in the documents. The resulting small set of phrases found as predictive are then harvested as the summary. To validate our tool, we, using news articles from the New York Times international section, designed and conducted a human survey to compare the different summarizers with human understanding. We demonstrate our approach with two case studies, a media analysis of the framing of "Egypt" in the New York Times throughout the Arab Spring and an informal comparison of the New York Times' and Wall Street Journal's coverage of "energy." Overall, we find that the Lasso with $L^2$ normalization can be effectively and usefully used to summarize large corpora, regardless of document size.

description: This thesis is devoted to the experimental and theoretical study of two phenomena, electrowetting and electrohydrodynamics, and their application to an additive manufacturing technique named Direct Ink Writing (DIW). Specifically, the work describes six individual topics exploring these applications and elucidating the significant beneficial gains for practical 3D printing or DIW applications. From the beginning, it is essential to note that DIW comprises two distinct subcategories. These subcategories are classified by their dispensing form, divided into either droplet-based (3D printing) or filament-based (continuous jet) extrusion, with both being examined in detail, having in mind the application of the electric forces.

description: Enhanced octupole collectivity is expected in the neutron-deficient Ge, Se and Kr isotopes with neutron number $N \approx 40$ and has indeed been observed for $^{70,72}$Ge. Shape coexistence and configuration mixing are, however, a notorious challenge for theoretical models trying to reliably predict octupole collectivity in this mass region, which is known to feature rapid shape changes with changing nucleon number and spin of the system. To further investigate the microscopic configurations causing the prolate-oblate-triaxial shape transition at $A \approx 72$ and their influence on octupole collectivity, the rare isotopes $^{72}$Se and $^{74,76}$Kr were studied via inelastic proton scattering in inverse kinematics. While significantly enhanced octupole strength of $\sim 32$ Weisskopf units (W.u.) was observed for $^{72}$Se, only strengths of $\sim 15$ W.u. were observed for $^{74,76}$Kr. In combination with existing data, the new data clearly question a simple origin of enhanced octupole strengths around $N = 40$. The present work establishes two regions of distinct octupole strengths with a sudden strength increase around the $A=72$ shape transitional point.

description: The past two decades have seen a revolution in ab initio calculations of nuclear properties. One key element has been the development of a rigorous effective interaction theory, applying unitary transformations to soften the nuclear Hamiltonian and hence accelerate the convergence as a function of the model space size. For consistency, however, one ought to apply the same transformation to other operators when calculating transitions and mean values from the eigenstates of the renormalized Hamiltonian. Working in a translationally-invariant harmonic oscillator basis for the two- and three-nucleon systems, we evolve the Hamiltonian, square-radius and total dipole strength operators by the similarity renormalization group (SRG). The inclusion of up to three-body matrix elements in the 4He nucleus all but completely restores the invariance of the expectation values under the transformation. We also consider a Gaussian operator with adjustable range and find at short ranges an increased contribution from such induced three-body terms.

description: We determine the oxygen density in the central zone of nine type IIP supernovae (SN~IIP) at the nebular stage using oxygen doublet [O I] 6300, 6364 Å. Combined with two available estimates these data indicate that oxygen densities on day 300 are distributed in rather narrow range $(2.3\pm1)\times10^9$ cm$^{-3}$. The result does not depend on the distance, extinction, or model assumptions. We demonstrate that the found density distribution suggests that the explosion energy of SN~IIP increases with the stellar mass.

description: Three hot spot mutations located in gene TERT, TP53, and CTNNB1 were identified in HCC cfDNA. Through integrating these three mutations and three serum biomarkers (AFP, AFP-L3, PIVKA-II), a cSMART-based integrated diagnostic model called "Combined method" was conducted for HCC detection. Combined method showed high accuracy, with an area under curve (AUC) of 0.87, 0.90, and 0.86 in the training, test and validation cohort, respectively. The integrated model showed superior performance to AFP in terms of sensitivity, and exhibited high accuracies in both AFP-negative, AFP-L3-negative, and PIVKA-II-negative patients.Importantly, combined method showed much more accurate than both GALAD and AFP in distinguishing HCC from LC patients regardless of age, gender, Child-Pugh stage, HBV infection status, AJCC/BCLC stage,and tumor size.

description: The complete transposition graph is defined to be the graph whose vertices are the elements of the symmetric group $S_n$, and two vertices $α$ and $β$ are adjacent in this graph iff there is some transposition $(i,j)$ such that $α=(i,j) β$. Thus, the complete transposition graph is the Cayley graph $\Cay(S_n,S)$ of the symmetric group generated by the set $S$ of all transpositions. An open problem in the literature is to determine which Cayley graphs are normal. It was shown recently that the Cayley graph generated by 4 cyclically adjacent transpositions is not normal. In the present paper, it is proved that the complete transposition graph is not a normal Cayley graph, for all $n \ge 3$. Furthermore, the automorphism group of the complete transposition graph is shown to equal \[ \Aut(\Cay(S_n,S)) = (R(S_n) \rtimes \Inn(S_n)) \rtimes \mathbb{Z}_2, \] where $R(S_n)$ is the right regular representation of $S_n$, $\Inn(S_n)$ is the group of inner automorphisms of $S_n$, and $\mathbb{Z}_2 = \langle h \rangle$, where $h$ is the map $α\mapsto α^{-1}$.

description: One of the most demanding calculations is to generate random samples from a specified probability distribution (usually with an unknown normalizing prefactor) in a high-dimensional configuration space. One often has to resort to using a Markov chain Monte Carlo method, which converges only in the limit to the prescribed distribution. Such methods typically inch through configuration space step by step, with acceptance of a step based on a Metropolis(-Hastings) criterion. An acceptance rate of 100% is possible in principle by embedding configuration space in a higher-dimensional phase space and using ordinary differential equations. In practice, numerical integrators must be used, lowering the acceptance rate. This is the essence of hybrid Monte Carlo methods. Presented is a general framework for constructing such methods under relaxed conditions: the only geometric property needed is (weakened) reversibility; volume preservation is not needed. The possibilities are illustrated by deriving a couple of explicit hybrid Monte Carlo methods, one based on barrier-lowering variable-metric dynamics and another based on isokinetic dynamics.

description: The software supply chain (SSC) attack has become one of the crucial issues that are being increased rapidly with the advancement of the software development domain. In general, SSC attacks execute during the software development processes lead to vulnerabilities in software products targeting downstream customers and even involved stakeholders. Machine Learning approaches are proven in detecting and preventing software security vulnerabilities. Besides, emerging quantum machine learning can be promising in addressing SSC attacks. Considering the distinction between traditional and quantum machine learning, performance could be varies based on the proportions of the experimenting dataset. In this paper, we conduct a comparative analysis between quantum neural networks (QNN) and conventional neural networks (NN) with a software supply chain attack dataset known as ClaMP. Our goal is to distinguish the performance between QNN and NN and to conduct the experiment, we develop two different models for QNN and NN by utilizing Pennylane for quantum and TensorFlow and Keras for traditional respectively. We evaluated the performance of both models with different proportions of the ClaMP dataset to identify the f1 score, recall, precision, and accuracy. We also measure the execution time to check the efficiency of both models. The demonstration result indicates that execution time for QNN is slower than NN with a higher percentage of datasets. Due to recent advancements in QNN, a large level of experiments shall be carried out to understand both models accurately in our future research.

description: We present and release co-added images of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Stripe 82. Stripe 82 covers an area of 300 deg^2 on the Celestial Equator, and has been repeatedly scanned 70-90 times in the ugriz bands by the SDSS imaging survey. By making use of all available data in the SDSS archive, our co-added images are optimized for depth. Input single-epoch frames were properly processed and weighted based on seeing, sky transparency, and background noise before co-addition. The resultant products are co-added science images and their associated weight images that record relative weights at individual pixels. The depths of the co-adds, measured as the 5 sigma detection limits of the aperture (3.2 arcsec diameter) magnitudes for point sources, are roughly 23.9, 25.1, 24.6, 24.1, and 22.8 AB magnitudes in the five bands, respectively. They are 1.9-2.2 mag deeper than the best SDSS single-epoch data. The co-added images have good image quality, with an average point-spread function FWHM of ~1 arcsec in the r, i, and z bands. We also release object catalogs that were made with SExtractor. These co-added products have many potential uses for studies of galaxies, quasars, and Galactic structure. We further present and release near-IR J-band images that cover ~90 deg^2 of Stripe 82. These images were obtained using the NEWFIRM camera on the NOAO 4-m Mayall telescope, and have a depth of about 20.0--20.5 Vega magnitudes (also 5 sigma detection limits for point sources).

description: We partition the fast escaping set of a transcendental entire function into two subsets, the maximally fast escaping set and the non-maximally fast escaping set. These sets are shown to have strong dynamical properties. We show that the intersection of the Julia set with the non-maximally fast escaping set is never empty. The proof uses a new covering result for annuli, which is of wider interest. It was shown by Rippon and Stallard that the fast escaping set has no bounded components. In contrast, by studying a function considered by Hardy, we give an example of a transcendental entire function for which the maximally and non-maximally fast escaping sets each have uncountably many singleton components.

description: The problem of the data routing management, it provides a method or a strategy that guarantees at any time the connection between any pair of nodes in the network. This routing method must be able to cope with frequent changes in the topology and also other characteristics of the ad hoc network as bandwidth, the number of links, network resources etc.. We also illustrate the utility of the proposed algorithms: the problem of assignment or frequency allotment in a radio network or mobile phones as in the following way: how to attribute a frequency to every transmitter(issuer) or an unity(unit) of the network, so that two broadcasting stations (issuers) which can interfere have frequencies distant enough from each other ? Thus to affect the wavelengths means finding a coloring of the graph, but because the network is not stable and the topology is dynamic, we need a method which maintains the initial allocation of the frequencies or to look for a new allocation to maintain the stability of the network.

description: Magnetic reconnection is a leading mechanism for magnetic energy conversion and high-energy non-thermal particle production in a variety of high-energy astrophysical objects, including ones with relativistic ion-electron plasmas (e.g., microquasars or AGNs) - a regime where first principle studies are scarce. We present 2D particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations of low $β$ ion-electron plasmas under relativistic conditions, i.e., with inflow magnetic energy exceeding the plasma rest-mass energy. We identify outstanding properties: (i) For relativistic inflow magnetizations (here $10 < σ_e < 360$), the reconnection outflows are dominated by thermal agitation instead of bulk kinetic energy. (ii) At large inflow electron magnetization ($σ_e > 80$), the reconnection electric field is sustained more by bulk inertia than by thermal inertia. It challenges the thermal-inertia-paradigm and its implications. (iii) The inflows feature sharp transitions at the entrance of the diffusion zones. These are not shocks but results from particle ballistic motions, all bouncing at the same location, provided that the thermal velocity in the inflow is far smaller than the inflow E cross B bulk velocity. (iv) Island centers are magnetically isolated from the rest of the flow, and can present a density depletion at their center. (v) The reconnection rates are slightly larger than in non-relativistic studies. They are best normalized by the inflow relativistic Alfvén speed projected in the outflow direction, which then leads to rates in a close range (0.14-0.25) thus allowing for an easy estimation of the reconnection electric field.

description: Sun sensors are an integral part of the attitude and orbit control system onboard almost any spacecraft. While the majority of standard analogue sun sensors is based on photo-detectors which produce photo-currents proportional to the cosine of the incidence angle (cosine detectors), we propose an alternative scheme where the vectorial photoelectric effect is exploited to achieve a higher sensitivity of the sensed photo-current to the incidence angle. The vectorial photo-effect is investigated in detail for metal cathode detectors in a space environment. Besides long operational lifetimes without significant degradation, metal cathode detectors are insensitive to earth albedo, which may significantly reduce the errors affecting attitude measurements in low earth orbits. Sensitivity curves are calculated and trade-offs performed with the aim of optimizing the sensitivity whilst also providing currents sufficient for detection. Simple applications and detector configurations are also discussed and compared to existing designs.

description: Action spotting in soccer videos is the task of identifying the specific time when a certain key action of the game occurs. Lately, it has received a large amount of attention and powerful methods have been introduced. Action spotting involves understanding the dynamics of the game, the complexity of events, and the variation of video sequences. Most approaches have focused on the latter, given that their models exploit the global visual features of the sequences. In this work, we focus on the former by (a) identifying and representing the players, referees, and goalkeepers as nodes in a graph, and by (b) modeling their temporal interactions as sequences of graphs. For the player identification, or player classification task, we obtain an accuracy of 97.72% in our annotated benchmark. For the action spotting task, our method obtains an overall performance of 57.83% average-mAP by combining it with other audiovisual modalities. This performance surpasses similar graph-based methods and has competitive results with heavy computing methods. Code and data are available at https://github.com/IPCV/soccer_action_spotting.

description: We develop a high-precision model for laser ranging interferometric (LRI) observables of the GRACE Follow-On (GRACE-FO) mission. For this, we study the propagation of an electromagnetic wave in the gravitational field in the vicinity of an extended body, in the post-Newtonian approximation of the general theory of relativity. We present a general relativistic model for the phase of a plane wave that accounts for contributions of all the multipoles of the gravitating body, its angular momentum, as well as the contribution of tidal fields produced by external sources. We develop a new approach to model a coherent signal transmission in the gravitational field of the solar system that relies on a relativistic treatment of the phase. We use this approach to describe high-precision interferometric measurements on GRACE-FO and formulate the key LRI observables, namely the phase and phase rate of a coherent laser link between the two spacecraft. We develop a relativistic model for the LRI-enabled range between the two GRACE-FO spacecraft, accurate to less than 1 nm, and a high-precision model for the corresponding range rate, accurate to better than 0.1 nm/s. We also formulate high-precision relativistic models for the double one-way range (DOWR) and DOWR-enabled range rate observables originally used on GRACE and now studied for interferometric measurements on GRACE-FO. Our formulation justifies the basic assumptions behind the design of the GRACE-FO mission and highlights the importance of achieving nearly circular and nearly identical orbits for the GRACE-FO spacecraft.

description: The green unicellular alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii with two photoreceptors called channelrhodopsins is a model organism that gave birth to a new scientific field of biomedical studies, optogenetics. Although channelrhodopsins are helping to decipher the activity of the human brain, their functionality has never been extensively studied in the organism of origin, mainly due to the difficulties connected to reverse genetic interventions. In this study, we present a CRISPR-Cas9-based technique that enables a precise in vivo exchange of single amino acids in a selected gene. To shed light on the function of channelrhodopsins ChR1 (C1) and ChR2 (C2) in vivo, we deleted both channelrhodopsins independently in the wild-type strain and introduced point mutations in the remaining channel, causing modified photocycle kinetics and ion selectivity. The mutated strains, ΔC1C2-E123T, ΔC1C2-E90R and ΔC1C2-E90Q, showed about 100-fold decrease in photosensitivity, a reduced photophobic response and faster light adaptation rates due to accelerated photocycle kinetics and reduced Ca2+ conductance. Moreover, the ΔC1C2-E90Q with an additionally reduced H+ permeability produced an electrical response only in the presence of Na+ ions, highlighting a contribution and importance of H+ conductance to photocurrents in the wild-type algae. Finally, in the ΔC1C2-E90R strain with the channelrhodopsin selectivity converted to anions, no photo-responses were detected. We conclude that the precise photocycle kinetics and the particular ion selectivity of channelrhodopsins are the key parameters for efficient phototaxis in low light conditions.

description: Specific aims: To identify novel genetic characterizations involved in PD-L1/2, other immune checkpoints and other driver genes in DLBCL patients and to identify patients that would benefit from immunotherapies and targeted therapies. Relevance: Immunotherapies and targeted therapies are currently the hottest topics for cancer treatment. A large number of clinical trials involved in checkpoint inhibitors and small molecule targeted drugs, including PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies and BTK inhibitors, are ongoing for various cancer types, including B cell lymphoma. Herein, we will try to identify some novel genetic variants for immune checkpoint molecules and some important oncogenes in DLBCL patients. Our findings are complementary for the genetic characterizations for these immune checkpoint molecules and oncogenes, and will also provide a theoretical foundation for the design of molecular targeted drugs and precision diagnosis and therapy.
