description: The accurate determination of the Parton Distribution Functions (PDFs) of the proton is an essential ingredient of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) program. PDF uncertainties impact a wide range of processes, from Higgs boson characterisation and precision Standard Model measurements to New Physics searches. A major recent development in modern PDF analyses has been to exploit the wealth of new information contained in precision measurements from the LHC Run I, as well as progress in tools and methods to include these data in PDF fits. In this report we summarise the information that PDF-sensitive measurements at the LHC have provided so far, and review the prospects for further constraining PDFs with data from the recently started Run II. This document aims to provide useful input to the LHC collaborations to prioritise their PDF-sensitive measurements at Run II, as well as a comprehensive reference for the PDF-fitting collaborations.

description: We consider a class of decoding algorithms that are applicable to error correction for both Abelian and non-Abelian anyons. This class includes multiple algorithms that have recently attracted attention, including the Bravyi-Haah RG decoder. They are applied to both the problem of single shot error correction (with perfect syndrome measurements) and that of active error correction (with noisy syndrome measurements). For Abelian models we provide a threshold proof in both cases, showing that there is a finite noise threshold under which errors can be arbitrarily suppressed when any decoder in this class is used. For non-Abelian models such a proof is found for the single shot case. The means by which decoding may be performed for active error correction of non-Abelian anyons is studied in detail. Differences with the Abelian case are discussed.

description: We use molecular dynamics simulations for a first principles-based effective Hamiltonian to calculate two important quantities characterizing the electrocaloric effect in BaTiO$_3$, the adiabatic temperature change $ΔT$ and the isothermal entropy change $ΔS$, for different electric field strengths. We compare direct and indirect methods to obtain $ΔT$ and $ΔS$, and we confirm that both methods indeed lead to identical result provided that the system does not actually undergo a first order phase transition. We also show that a large electrocaloric response is obtained for electric fields beyond the critical field strength for the first order phase transition. Furthermore, our work fills several gaps regarding the application of the first principles-based effective Hamiltonian approach, which represents a very attractive and powerful method for the quantitative prediction of electrocaloric properties. In particular, we discuss the importance of maintaining thermal equilibrium during the field ramping when calculating $ΔT$ using the direct method within a molecular dynamics approach.

Combating Health Disparities in Infant Mortality Among African Americans: The Reproductive Life Course Approach
Creators: name: Woods, Jacquetta A.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2011

description: In the United States, African American infants are more than twice as likely to die during the first year of life compared to White infants. Even more alarming is the fact that this disparity has not decreased in over fifty years despite advances in medicine, medical technology, and public health interventions. Until recently, prenatal care has been considered the most effective way to combat health disparities by improving the quality of the care and making prenatal care more accessible; however, more recent studies have found that prenatal care through the 12-point approach may be more effective in reducing racial disparities in infant mortality. The 12-point approach combines preconception care, inter-conception care, prenatal care, and health care throughout the life course with efforts to strengthen African American homes, and address social/economic equities. The life course approach addresses health and other social determinants starting early in life.

description: Objectives: This study seeks to determine if women's empowerment contributes to higher rates of facility delivery in Ghana. Methods: We pooled data from Ghana Demographic and Health Surveys 2014 and used multivariate logistic regression on facility delivery and women's empowerment. We controlled for confounders of women's socioeconomic status, place of residence, parity, age and education. Results: After adjusting for the covariates of interest, the odds of facility delivery for women with high empowerment was 1.47 (95% CI: 1.08, 1.98) times the odds for women with low empowerment. Conclusions for Practice: Female empowerment is associated with higher rates of facility delivery in Ghana. Interventions aimed at improving facility delivery must consider gender measures and continue to focus on promoting female education, and improving women's economic status.

description: The richness of dynamical behavior exhibited by the rotational states of various solar system objects has driven significant advances in the theoretical understanding of their evolutionary histories. An important factor that determines whether a given object is prone to exhibiting non-trivial rotational evolution is the extent to which such an object can maintain a permanent aspheroidal shape, meaning that exotic behavior is far more common among the small body populations of the solar system. Gravitationally bound binary objects constitute a substantial fraction of asteroidal and TNO populations, comprising systems of triaxial satellites that orbit permanently deformed central bodies. In this work, we explore the rotational evolution of such systems with specific emphasis on quadrupole-quadrupole interactions, and show that for closely orbiting, highly deformed objects, both prograde and retrograde spin-spin resonances naturally arise. Subsequently, we derive capture probabilities for leading order commensurabilities and apply our results to the illustrative examples of (87) Sylvia and (216) Kleopatra asteroid systems. Cumulatively, our results suggest that spin-spin coupling may be consequential for highly elongated, tightly orbiting binary objects.

description: Using the anelastic approximation of linearised hydrodynamic equations, we investigate the development of axially symmetric small perturbations in thin Keplerian discs. The sixth-order dispersion equation is derived and numerically solved for different values of relevant physical parameters (viscosity, heat conductivity, disc semi-thickness and vertical structure). The analysis reveals the appearance of two overstable modes which split out from the classical Rayleigh inertial modes in a wide range of the parameters in both ionized and neutral gases. These modes have a viscous-convective nature and can serve as a seed for turbulence in astrophysical discs even in the absence of magnetic fields.

Secondary Migration to Rural Meat Processing Communities in the United States and the Implications for Refugee Health
Creators: name: Korbe, Amy
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2014

description: Each year the United States resettles around 58,000 refugees from various cultural backgrounds. The majority of new arrivals are either children or of reproductive age. While U.S. refugee policy is designed to support refugees in the eight months after arrival, it does not account for secondary migration. Commonly, refugees leave the initial resettlement destination to reunite with families or in search of employment opportunities. As refugees leave primary settlement locations, they also leave behind many entitlement benefits. This results in new destination communities, often low-resource, bearing the weight of providing care. Many secondary migrants move to meat processing communities. Located primarily in rural America, the meat processing industry attracts refugees with higher wages and few skill requirements. In an effort to understand the relationship between secondary migrants and rural meat processing communities this paper explores the unique challenges to providing health care in rural America; the health needs of refugees, particularly vulnerable populations; and provides recommendations for reinforcing a community's capacity to care for refugees.

description: One of the main barriers preventing widespread use of formal methods is the elicitation of formal specifications. Formal specifications facilitate the testing and verification process for safety critical robotic systems. However, handling the intricacies of formal languages is difficult and requires a high level of expertise in formal logics that many system developers do not have. In this work, we present a graphical tool designed for the development and visualization of formal specifications by people that do not have training in formal logic. The tool enables users to develop specifications using a graphical formalism which is then automatically translated to Metric Temporal Logic (MTL). In order to evaluate the effectiveness of our tool, we have also designed and conducted a usability study with cohorts from the academic student community and industry. Our results indicate that both groups were able to define formal requirements with high levels of accuracy. Finally, we present applications of our tool for defining specifications for operation of robotic surgery and autonomous quadcopter safe operation.

description: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has been detected in wastewater. Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) is a practical and cost-effective tool for the assessment and controlling of pandemics and probably for examining SARS-CoV-2 presence. Implementation of WBE during the outbreaks is not without limitations. Temperature, suspended solids, pH, and disinfectants affect the stability of viruses in wastewater. Due to these limitations, instruments and techniques have been utilized to detect SARS-CoV-2. SARS-CoV-2 has been detected in sewage using various concentration methods and computer-aided analyzes. RT-qPCR, ddRT-PCR, multiplex PCR, RT-LAMP, and electrochemical immunosensors have been employed to detect low levels of viral contamination. Inactivation of SARS-CoV-2 is a crucial preventive measure against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). To better assess the role of wastewater as a transmission route, detection, and quantification methods need to be refined. In this paper, the latest improvements in quantification, detection, and inactivation of SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater are explained. Finally, limitations and future research recommendations are thoroughly described.

description: We study the Fermi energy level dependence of nonlinear terahertz (THz) transmission of gated multi-layer and single-layer graphene transferred onto sapphire and quartz substrates. The two samples represent two limits of low-field impurity scattering: short-range neutral and long-range charged impurity scattering, respectively. We observe an increase in the transmission as the field amplitude is increased due to intraband absorption bleaching starting at fields above 8 kV/cm. This effect arises from a field-induced reduction in THz conductivity that depends strongly on the Fermi energy. We account for intraband absorption using a free carrier Drude model that includes neutral and charged impurity scattering as well as optical phonon scattering. We find that although the Fermi-level dependence in the monolayer and five-layer samples is quite different, both exhibit a strong dependence on the field amplitude that cannot be explained on the basis of an increase in the lattice temperature alone. Our results provide a deeper understanding of transport in graphene devices operating at THz frequencies and in modest kV/cm field strengths where nonlinearities exist.

description: The approach to the theory of many-particle interacting systems from a unified standpoint, based on the variational principle for free energy is reviewed. A systematic discussion is given of the approximate free energies of complex statistical systems. The analysis is centered around the variational principle of N. N. Bogoliubov for free energy in the context of its applications to various problems of statistical mechanics and condensed matter physics. The review presents a terse discussion of selected works carried out over the past few decades on the theory of many-particle interacting systems in terms of the variational inequalities. It is the purpose of this paper to discuss some of the general principles which form the mathematical background to this approach, and to establish a connection of the variational technique with other methods, such as the method of the mean (or self-consistent) field in the many-body problem, in which the effect of all the other particles on any given particle is approximated by a single averaged effect, thus reducing a many-body problem to a single-body problem. The method is illustrated by applying it to various systems of many-particle interacting systems, such as Ising and Heisenberg models, superconducting and superfluid systems, strongly correlated systems, etc. It seems likely that these technical advances in the many-body problem will be useful in suggesting new methods for treating and understanding many-particle interacting systems. This work proposes a new, general and pedagogical presentation, intended both for those who are interested in basic aspects, and for those who are interested in concrete applications.

description: Abstract Objectives: The Honduran Health Alliance (HHA), a global service learning organization, is used as a case study highlighting the ethical problems that arise during the follow-up care process for women who participate in the clinic. Methods: We conducted 18 qualitative interviews and 1 focus group to understand follow-up care experiences. Results: The two ethical problems identified in our analysis are: (1) miscommunication that results in confusion and worry throughout the follow-up care process and (2) providing screenings for cervical cancer that cannot be treated due to a lack of money. Conclusions: Short-term service learning organizations need to ensure that unintended consequences such as miscommunication that results in worry and confusion are minimized during the follow-up care process. Screenings should not be performed if participants do not have adequate access to treatment.
Milgram's Study: Obedience or Adaptation on Empathy Emotional Scale?

Subjects: subject: Milgram's Experiment

description: Milgram's Study: Obedience or Adaptation on Empathy Emotional Scale? Abstract: This article has given efforts to analyze and interpret one of the famous psychological experiment, conducted by Stanley Milgram, in the light of understanding of nature of emotions. Milgram’s famous experiment is actually a series of experiments that started in the summer of 1961, at the Linsey-Chittenham hall of Yale University. This quintessential series of experiments revealed a very significant, yet shocking and unwelcome nature of the human psych. But there is no experimental proof that can explain the true reasons lying behind the results of this experiment. It has been inferred by different authors differently in the course of time. Milgram himself explained this as a fact of obedience in the lattice of the hierarchical social structure. Is it the singular factor? In this project, we will try to interpret it from another angle - that is basic nature and properties of individual emotions and their adaptive processes. We will see not only the matter of obedience, but a variety of factors – namely, magnitude of different emotions, previous adaptational states on different emotional scales, gradual adaptational processes, pressure of conformity to social and cultural norms, obligations coming from individual moral built, and finally genetical compositions of individual persons – all created a bidirectional force having its components acting in opposite directions. And the net product or summation of this bidirectional force ultimately expressed in a person’s action and behaviour that was observed in Milgram’s experiments.

description: We establish an equivalence between two seemingly different theories: one is the traditional axiomatisation of incomplete preferences on horse lotteries based on the mixture independence axiom; the other is the theory of desirable gambles developed in the context of imprecise probability. The equivalence allows us to revisit incomplete preferences from the viewpoint of desirability and through the derived notion of coherent lower previsions. On this basis, we obtain new results and insights: in particular, we show that the theory of incomplete preferences can be developed assuming only the existence of a worst act---no best act is needed---, and that a weakened Archimedean axiom suffices too; this axiom allows us also to address some controversy about the regularity assumption (that probabilities should be positive---they need not), which enables us also to deal with uncountable possibility spaces; we show that it is always possible to extend in a minimal way a preference relation to one with a worst act, and yet the resulting relation is never Archimedean, except in a trivial case; we show that the traditional notion of state independence coincides with the notion called strong independence in imprecise probability---this leads us to give much a weaker definition of state independence than the traditional one; we rework and uniform the notions of complete preferences, beliefs, values; we argue that Archimedeanity does not capture all the problems that can be modelled with sets of expected utilities and we provide a new notion that does precisely that. Perhaps most importantly, we argue throughout that desirability is a powerful and natural setting to model, and work with, incomplete preferences, even in case of non-Archimedean problems. This leads us to suggest that desirability, rather than preference, should be the primitive notion at the basis of decision-theoretic axiomatisations.

Evaluation of Permanent Supportive Housing for Justice-Involved Frequent Utilizers
Creators: name: McDonough, Aubrey
Publisher: name: Open Science Framework
Year: 2022

description: This proposed project will examine the effect of receiving permanent supportive housing services on housing, health, labor market, and criminal justice outcomes for individuals who repeatedly interact with the criminal justice system. The Frequent Users Systems Engagement (FUSE) Initiative, a new program in Franklin County, OH (Columbus), offers permanent supportive housing to individuals with a history of many jail stays. “Frequent utilizers” of the criminal justice system are often affected by one or more adverse conditions that make it difficult to attain stability and increase the likelihood of recidivism. The County, in partnership with implementing partners and the Wilson Sheehan Lab for Economic Opportunities (LEO) at the University of Notre Dame, is conducting a randomized controlled trial to quantify the impact of receiving supportive housing. The initial, pilot phase of the study will include 84 eligible individuals in the County. The study will track several key outcomes, including housing stability and homelessness, emergency care use, the cost of healthcare services, public benefit usage, and recidivism. This pilot would provide the basis for a larger scale evaluation as the program expands.
How Scale Affects Structure in Java Programs

description: Many internal software metrics and external quality attributes of Java programs correlate strongly with program size. This knowledge has been used pervasively in quantitative studies of software through practices such as normalization on size metrics. This paper reports size-related super- and sublinear effects that have not been known before. Findings obtained on a very large collection of Java programs -- 30,911 projects hosted at Google Code as of Summer 2011 -- unveils how certain characteristics of programs vary disproportionately with program size, sometimes even non-monotonically. Many of the specific parameters of nonlinear relations are reported. This result gives further insights for the differences of "programming in the small" vs. "programming in the large." The reported findings carry important consequences for OO software metrics, and software research in general: metrics that have been known to correlate with size can now be properly normalized so that all the information that is left in them is size-independent.

description: An economical, simple, rapid, and culture independent method was developed for routine analyses and detection of Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. punicae (Xap) that causes bacterial blight in pomegranate. Five DNA release buffers (B1-B5) were optimized for extracting bacterial genomic DNA (gDNA) directly from (a)symptomatic pomegranate leaves followed by conventional polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based detection of Xap. B1, B3, and B4 were found suitable to release gDNA, which was subjected to PCR using universal primers for 16S rRNA and rpsL genes, and pathogen specific xopQ primers. DNA released from B1 and B4 successfully produced amplicons of expected sizes. Additional analyses found that DNA released using B4 buffer was stable up to 45 days at −20 °C/−80 °C and 35 days at 4 °C and 8-800 pg DNA could be detected by the PCR-based assay. B4 was further validated for versatility by extracting DNA of Xanthomonas spp. causing citrus canker and sorghum shoot stripe disease.
The Determinants of Farmer’s Intended Behaviour Towards the Adoption of Energy Crops in Southern Spain: an Application of the Classification Tree-Method

description: Despite growing interest in biomass over the last number of years, bio-energy derived from biomass currently contributes to a very small share of the total Spanish energy market. How individual farmers choose to respond to the opportunities presented by these relatively novel crops has still received scarce attention. In this paper, farmers’ intentions towards the adoption of energy crops are analyzed. A survey of 201 farm- households in Southern Spain is explored using a non-parametric approach based on classification tree algorithms. The main outcome of this analysis is that off-farm labour factor affects the adoption of energy crops on farm, together with farm specializations, size of owned land and farmer’s education. While the study confirms the relevance of the main determinants available from the literature, need for further research is emphasised.

Efficiency and Farm Size in Philippine Aquaculture. Analysis in a Ray Production Frontier Framework
Creators: name: Irz, Xavier
name: Stevenson, James
Publisher: name: Bio-based and Applied Economics
Year: 2012

description: We investigate the existence of an inverse relationship (IR) between farm size and technical efficiency in Philippine brackishwater pond aquaculture. The study is motivated by the exemption of fish ponds from the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Laws and suggestions in the literature of inefficient management of fish farms. The analysis of technical efficiency is based on the estimation of a multi-product ray production function estimated in a stochastic frontier framework. There is some evidence of an IR but of only limited strength. Hence, it is unlikely that agrarian reform is the key to unlocking the productive potential of brackishwater aquaculture in the Philippines.
