description: Rapid on-site detection of thiamethoxam, a widely used neonicotinoid insecticide, is required to ensure food safety and environmental health. In this study, we produced specific and high-affinity monoclonal antibodies against thiamethoxam and developed an immunochromatographic assay (ICA) strip. Monoclonal antibodies labeled with colloidal gold particles were used as the probe, nitrocellulose membrane as the solid carrier, thiamethoxam-ovalbumin (OVA) conjugate as the test line, and goat anti-rat immunoglobulin G (IgG) as the control line. The visual limit of detection of the test strip was 0.5 µg/L thiamethoxam and the cutoff value was 2.0 µg/L. The test strip enabled rapid visual detection (within 10 min) of thiamethoxam. Matrix interferences were eliminated by diluting the sample extracts with the optimized working buffer solution (phosphate buffer containing 5% methanol v/v, pH 8.0); the final dilutions used were: 50-fold for cucumber, pear, and bok choy extracts, 5-fold for apple extracts, and 2-fold for pond water. Using the recovery test, we verified that the test strip was suitable for rapid on-site determination of thiamethoxam residues in fruit, vegetable, and water samples. The developed immunochromatographic assay is easy to use, rapid, environment-friendly, and suitable for on-site screening and detection of thiamethoxam residues in food and environmental samples.

description: A family of spherical halo models with flat circular velocity curves is presented. This includes models in which the rotation curve has a finite central value but declines outwards (like the Jaffe model). It includes models in which the rotation curve is rising in the inner parts, but flattens asymptotically (like the Binney model). The family encompasses models with both finite and singular (cuspy) density profiles. The self-consistent distribution function depending on binding energy $E$ and angular momentum $L$ is derived and the kinematical properties of the models discussed. These really describe the properties of the total matter (both luminous and dark). For comparison with observations, it is better to consider tracer populations of stars. These can be used to represent elliptical galaxies or the spheroidal components of spiral galaxies. Accordingly, we study the properties of tracers with power-law or Einasto profiles moving in the doubloon potential. Under the assumption of spherical alignment, we provide a simple way to solve the Jeans equations for the velocity dispersions. This choice of alignment is supported by observations on the stellar halo of the Milky Way. Power-law tracers have prolate spheroidal velocity ellipsoids everywhere. However, this is not the case for Einasto tracers, for which the velocity ellipsoids change from prolate to oblate spheroidal near the pole. Asymptotic forms of the velocity distributions close to the escape speed are also derived, with an eye to application to the high velocity stars in the Milky Way. Power-law tracers have power-law or Maxwellian velocity distributions tails, whereas Einasto tracers have super-exponential cut-offs.

description: We revise gamma-ray limits on axion-like particles (ALPs) emitted from supernova SN1987A based on Solar Maximum Mission data. We improve and simplify the computation of the expected gamma-ray signal from ALP decays, while also extending it to non-instantaneous ALP emission. For the first time we make use of the temporal information in the data to update the associated ALP-photon coupling limits. For ALP decays, our updated likelihood only mildly affects the limit compared to previous works due to the absorption of gamma rays close to SN1987A. However, for ALP conversions in the Galactic magnetic field, temporal information improves the limit on the ALP-photon coupling by a factor of 1.4.

We illustrate its performance by carrying out coherent manipulations of a trapped calcium ion with 99 % fidelity even at few-microsecond timescales. We thus demonstrate that transfer-oscillator locking can provide sufficient phase stability for high-fidelity quantum logic manipulation even without pre-stabilization of the slave diode laser.

description: Introduction: Dental decay is a major problem among Australian children. It can be prevented through good self-care and limiting sugar intake, but many parents/caregivers lack the skills and confidence to help their children adopt these practices. This trial will evaluate the efficacy of Healthy Habits Triple P - Oral health, a web-based online programme, in improving children's oral health-related behaviours (toothbrushing, snacking practices and dental visits) and related parenting practices, thereby preventing dental caries. Methods and analysis: This is a cluster, parallel-group, single-blinded, randomised controlled trial of an online intervention for parents/caregivers of children aged 2-6 years. From the City of Gold Coast (Australia), 18 childcare centres will be randomly selected, with equal numbers randomised into intervention and control arms. Intervention arm parents/caregivers will receive access to a web-based parenting intervention while those in the control arm will be directed to oral health-related information published by Australian oral health agencies. After the completion of the study, the Healthy Habits Triple P - Oral health intervention will be offered to parents/caregivers in the control arm. The primary outcome of this trial is toothbrushing frequency, which will be assessed via Bluetooth supported smart toothbrushes and parent/caregiver report. Data on other outcomes: parenting practices and child behaviour during toothbrushing, consumption of sugar rich foods and parents' confidence in dealing with children's demands for sugar rich food, and dental visiting practices, will be collected through a self-administered questionnaire at baseline (before randomisation), and 6 weeks (primary endpoint), 6 months and 12 months after randomisation. Data on dental caries will be collected at baseline, 12 and 18 months post-randomisation.

description: We investigate the spin-Nernst effect in time-reversal invariant topological superconductors, and show that it provides a smoking-gun evidence for helical Cooper pairs. The spin-Nernst effect stems from asymmetric, in spin space, scattering of quasiparticles at nonmagnetic impurities, and generates a transverse spin current by the temperature gradient. Both the sign and the magnitude of the effect sensitively depend on the scattering phase shift at impurity sites. Therefore the spin-Nernst effect is uniquely suitable for identifying time-reversal invariant topological superconducting orders.

description: Global change is posing a major challenge to existing forms of natural resource use, socio-economic development and institutional regulation. Although trends such as climate change, socio-economic transformation and institutional change are global in their scope, they have very specific regional outcomes. Regionally distinct coping strategies are required which take into account both the diversity of regional impacts of global change and the local contexts of appropriate responses. This paper explores the impacts of global change on the management of water infrastructure systems in the Berlin-Brandenburg region in terms of three concurrent and overlapping challenges: climate change, socio-economic change and institutional change. It subsequently examines how regional actors in the water sector are addressing these three dimensions of global change.

description: Semiarid ecosystems (including arid, semiarid and dry-subhumid ecosystems) span more than 40% of extant habitats and contain a similar percentage of the human population. Theoretical models and palaeoclimatic data predict a grim future, with rapid shifts towards a desert state, with accelerated diversity losses and ecological collapses. These shifts are a consequence of the special nonlinearities resulting from ecological facilitation. Here, we investigate a simple model of semiarid ecosystems identifying the so-called ghost, which appears after a catastrophic transition from a vegetated to a desert state once a critical rate of soil degradation is overcome. The ghost involves a slowdown of transients towards the desert state, making the ecosystem seem stable even though vegetation extinction is inevitable. We use this model to show how to exploit the ecological ghosts to avoid collapse. Doing so involves the restoration of small fractions of desert areas with vegetation capable of maintaining a stable community once the catastrophic shift condition has been achieved. This intervention method is successfully tested under the presence of demographic stochastic fluctuations.
Controlled stochastic networks in heavy traffic: Convergence of value functions

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2012

description: Scheduling control problems for a family of unitary networks under heavy traffic with general interarrival and service times, probabilistic routing and an infinite horizon discounted linear holding cost are studied. Diffusion control problems, that have been proposed as approximate models for the study of these critically loaded controlled stochastic networks, can be regarded as formal scaling limits of such stochastic systems. However, to date, a rigorous limit theory that justifies the use of such approximations for a general family of controlled networks has been lacking. It is shown that, under broad conditions, the value function of the suitably scaled network control problem converges to that of the associated diffusion control problem. This scaling limit result, in addition to giving a precise mathematical basis for the above approximation approach, suggests a general strategy for constructing near optimal controls for the physical stochastic networks by solving the associated diffusion control problem.
Some new observations for the Georgi-Machacek scenario with triplet Higgs

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: The Georgi-Machacek model, introducing a complex and a real scalar triplet as additional components of the electroweak symmetry breaking sector, enables substantial triplet contributions to the weak gauge boson masses, subject to the equality of the complex and the real triplet vacuum expectation values (vev) via a custodial SU(2) symmetry. We present an updated set of constraints on this scenario, from collider data (including those from 137/139~fb$^{-1}$ of luminosity at the Large Hadron Collider), available data on the 125-GeV scalar, indirect limits and also theoretical restrictions from vacuum stability and unitarity. It is found that some bounds get relaxed, and the phenomenological potential of the scenario is more diverse, if the doubly charged scalar in the spectrum can decay not only into two like-sign $W$'s but also into one or two singly charged scalars. Other interesting features are noticed in a general approach, such as substantial $γγ$ and $Zγ$ branching ratios of the additional custodial singlet scalar, and appreciable strength of the trilinear interaction of a charged scalar, the $W$ and the $Z$. Finally,, we take into account the possibility of custodial SU(2) breaking, resulting in inequality of the real and the complex scalar vevs which too in principle may allow large triplet contribution to weak boson masses. Illustrative numerical results on the modified limits and predictions are presented, once more taking into account all the constraints mentioned above.

title: The relationship between head injury, gender and offending in Scottish prisoners and a systematic review of the evidence for Third Wave Therapy Interventions for Traumatic Brain Injury
Creators: name: Foreman, Amy
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Gender differences, prisoners, convictions and head injury.

description: Background: Head Injury (HI) is twice as high in prisoners, compared to the general population (McMillan et al., 2019) and is considered a risk factor for offending (Colantonio et al., 2014), violent offending and an earlier age of offending (Williams et al., 2018). There is currently very little research considering HI and gender differences and the impact on offending. Aims: To investigate gender differences in offending, including number of convictions and violent offending in prisoners with HI. Secondary aims include investigating whether age at first HI is associated with risk of offending and differences in mental health, including depression, anxiety and substance use. Method: Secondary data analysis of a study with a retrospective, cross-sectional design; 200 prisoners (101 females and 99 males) were recruited from five Scottish prisons. Participants completed self-report measures, such as the OSU-TBI ID and a measure to gather information on offending history and mental health. Results: Seventy percent of the sample had a significant HI. There was no significant association between gender and HI or gender and the age of first HI with LoC. Males had more convictions (U=3295.0, z = -3.903, p= .001). HI predicted the number of convictions, (OR: 1.70, 95% CI 1.16, 2.46, p= .006), with males having more convictions and being 2.45 times more likely to report a violent offence compared to females (OR: 2.45, 95% CI 1.03, 5.81, p= .042). An interaction was present between depression, anxiety and number of convictions for males. Conclusions: HI was associated with offending and males had more involvement with the CJS. Males with depression had double the number of convictions and this was similar for anxiety. Interventions may be paramount in improving mental health.

Near critical catalyst reactant branching processes with controlled immigration
Creators: name: Budhiraja, Amarjit
name: Reinhold, Dominik
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2013

description: Near critical catalyst-reactant branching processes with controlled immigration are studied. The reactant population evolves according to a branching process whose branching rate is proportional to the total mass of the catalyst. The bulk catalyst evolution is that of a classical continuous time branching process; in addition there is a specific form of immigration. Immigration takes place exactly when the catalyst population falls below a certain threshold, in which case the population is instantaneously replenished to the threshold. Such models are motivated by problems in chemical kinetics where one wants to keep the level of a catalyst above a certain threshold in order to maintain a desired level of reaction activity. A diffusion limit theorem for the scaled processes is presented, in which the catalyst limit is described through a reflected diffusion, while the reactant limit is a diffusion with coefficients that are functions of both the reactant and the catalyst. Stochastic averaging principles under fast catalyst dynamics are established. In the case where the catalyst evolves "much faster" than the reactant, a scaling limit, in which the reactant is described through a one dimensional SDE with coefficients depending on the invariant distribution of the reflected diffusion, is obtained. Proofs rely on constrained martingale problem characterizations, Lyapunov function constructions, moment estimates that are uniform in time and the scaling parameter and occupation measure techniques.

description: Given a probability distribution on an open book (a metric space obtained by gluing a disjoint union of copies of a half-space along their boundary hyperplanes), we define a precise concept of when the Fr\'{e}chet mean (barycenter) is sticky. This nonclassical phenomenon is quantified by a law of large numbers (LLN) stating that the empirical mean eventually almost surely lies on the (codimension \(1\) and hence measure \(0\)) spine that is the glued hyperplane, and a central limit theorem (CLT) stating that the limiting distribution is Gaussian and supported on the spine. We also state versions of the LLN and CLT for the cases where the mean is nonsticky (i.e., not lying on the spine) and partly sticky (i.e., is, on the spine but not sticky).

description: Neutrino-nucleus coherent scattering measurements by the COHERENT collaboration provide us with a unique capability to test various beyond the standard model scenarios. In this work, we constrain scalar leptoquarks (LQs) using the COHERENT data. LQs arise in many extensions of the Standard Model (SM). Generally, the mass of the LQs is assumed to be very high to avoid the bounds from proton decay. However, there are low-scale LQ models which prohibit proton decay by construction. We consider two electroweak doublet scalar LQ models with hypercharge Y=1/6, and Y=7/6 and provide the bounds in the plane of the Yukawa coupling and the mass of LQ. We also compare the bounds on LQs coming from various other experiments and find that the COHERENT one covers a wide range of LQ masses from MeV to TeV and in certain regions the constraints are competitive with the others.

description: In this article, we explicitly derive the limiting degree distribution of the shortest path tree from a single source on various random network models with edge weights. We determine the asymptotics of the degree distribution for large degrees of this tree and compare it to the degree distribution of the original graph. We perform this analysis for the complete graph with edge weights that are powers of exponential random variables (weak disorder in the stochastic mean-field model of distance), as well as on the configuration model with edge-weights drawn according to any continuous distribution. In the latter, the focus is on settings where the degrees obey a power law, and we show that the shortest path tree again obeys a power law with the
Twitter event networks and the Superstar model

description: Condensation phenomenon is often observed in social networks such as Twitter where one "superstar" vertex gains a positive fraction of the edges, while the remaining empirical degree distribution still exhibits a power law tail. We formulate a mathematically tractable model for this phenomenon that provides a better fit to empirical data than the standard preferential attachment model across an array of networks observed in Twitter. Using embeddings in an equivalent continuous time version of the process, and adapting techniques from the stable age-distribution theory of branching processes, we prove limit results for the proportion of edges that condense around the superstar, the degree distribution of the remaining vertices, maximal nonsuperstar degree asymptotics and height of these random trees in the large network limit.

Forecasting time series of inhomogeneous Poisson processes with application to call center workforce management

description: We consider forecasting the latent rate profiles of a time series of inhomogeneous Poisson processes. The work is motivated by operations management of queueing systems, in particular, telephone call centers, where accurate forecasting of call arrival rates is a crucial primitive for efficient staffing of such centers. Our forecasting approach utilizes dimension reduction through a factor analysis of Poisson variables, followed by time series modeling of factor score series. Time series forecasts of factor scores are combined with factor loadings to yield forecasts of future Poisson rate profiles. Penalized Poisson regressions on factor loadings guided by time series forecasts of factor scores are used to generate dynamic within-process rate updating. Methods are also developed to obtain distributional forecasts. Our methods are illustrated using simulation and real data. The empirical results demonstrate how forecasting and dynamic updating of call arrival rates can affect the accuracy of call center staffing.

description: The electronic structure of InAs/AlSb/GaSb quantum wells embedded in AlSb barriers and in the presence of a perpendicular magnetic field is studied theoretically within the $14$-band ${\bf k}\cdot{\bf p}$ approach without making the axial approximation. At zero magnetic field, for a quantum well with a wide InAs layer and a wide GaSb layer, the energy of an electron-like subband can be lower than the energy of hole-like subbands. As the strength of the magnetic field increases, the Landau levels of this electron-like subband grow in energy and intersect the Landau levels of the hole-like subbands. The electron-hole hybridization leads to a series of anti-crossing splittings of the Landau levels. The energies of some Landau level transitions and their corresponding transition strengthes are calculated. The magnetic field dependence of some dominant transitions is shown with their corresponding initial-states and final-states indicated. This information should be useful in analyzing an experimentally measured magneto-optical spectrum. At high magnetic fields, multiple transitions due to the initial-state splitting can be observed. The dominant transitions at high fields can be roughly viewed as two spin-split Landau level transitions with many electron-hole hybridization induced splittings. The energy separations between the dominant transitions may decrease or increase versus the magnetic field locally, or may be almost field independent. The separations can be tuned by changing the width of InAs layer or the width of middle AlSb layer. When the magnetic field is tilted, the electron-like Landau level transitions show additional anti-crossing splittings due to the subband-Landau level coupling.

description: In this paper we examine rigorously the evidence for dependence among data size, transfer rate and duration in Internet flows. We emphasize two statistical approaches for studying dependence, including Pearson's correlation coefficient and the extremal dependence analysis method. We apply these methods to large data sets of packet traces from three networks. Our major results show that Pearson's correlation coefficients between size and duration are much smaller than one might expect. We also find that correlation coefficients between size and rate are generally small and can be strongly affected by applying thresholds to size or duration. Based on Transmission Control Protocol connection startup mechanisms, we argue that thresholds on size should be more useful than thresholds on duration in the analysis of correlations. Using extremal dependence analysis, we draw a similar conclusion, finding remarkable independence for extremal values of size and rate.

description: As decision-making increasingly relies on Machine Learning (ML) and (big) data, the issue of fairness in data-driven Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems is receiving increasing attention from both research and industry. A large variety of fairness-aware machine learning solutions have been proposed which involve fairness-related interventions in the data, learning algorithms and/or model outputs. However, a vital part of proposing new approaches is evaluating them empirically on benchmark datasets that represent realistic and diverse settings. Therefore, in this paper, we overview real-world datasets used for fairness-aware machine learning. We focus on tabular data as the most common data representation for fairness-aware machine learning. We start our analysis by identifying relationships between the different attributes, particularly w.r.t. protected attributes and class attribute, using a Bayesian network. For a deeper understanding of bias in the datasets, we investigate the interesting relationships using exploratory analysis.

description: There is substantial empirical and climatological evidence that precipitation extremes have become more extreme during the twentieth century, and that this trend is likely to continue as global warming becomes more intense. However, understanding these issues is limited by a fundamental issue of spatial scaling: most evidence of past trends comes from rain gauge data, whereas trends into the future are produced by climate models, which rely on gridded aggregates. To study this further, we fit the Generalized Extreme Value (GEV) distribution to the right tail of the distribution of both rain gauge and gridded events. The results of this modeling exercise confirm that return values computed from rain gauge data are typically higher than those computed from gridded data; however, the size of the difference is somewhat surprising, with the rain gauge data exhibiting return values sometimes two or three times that of the gridded data. The main contribution of this paper is the development of a family of regression relationships between the two sets of return values that also take spatial variations into account. Based on these results, we now believe it is possible to project future changes in precipitation extremes at the point-location level based on results from climate models.
