description: This thesis studies the role of labour market frictions for optimal taxation, unemployment, and asset pricing. Chapter 1 studies inheritance taxation of family-owned firms. Using administrative tax data, this chapter shows that generous deductions for family-owned businesses reduce effective inheritance tax rates in Germany. The tax code does not achieve horizontal equity. A tractable model rationalizes the deductions under incomplete capital markets. A firm that is not marketable and cannot hire an external manager needs an intra-family succession to survive. A firm liquidation causes considerable earnings losses for employees with match-specific human capital. Inheritance tax deductions for business assets, conditional on firm continuation, let firm heirs internalize these earnings losses and incentivize succession of the parents' business. The chapter analytically derives an optimal tax formula. In the baseline calibration, the optimal tax rate for small businesses is close to zero, while it is confiscatory for large firms. Chapters 2 and 3 study the co-movement of equity prices and labour market transitions. The chapters study whether extensions of the Diamond-Mortensen-Pissarides (DMP) framework can jointly generate i) a high volatility of unemployment and stock prices, ii) the striking correlation of unemployment and stock prices and iii) a large equity premium. Chapter 2 globally solves DMP models with endogenous separations and wage rigidity. Models are parametrized to post-war U.S. data. Neither a model with cyclical fluctuations nor a model driven by a small autoregressive component of productivity growth can generate a large risk premium. Chapter 3 presents a DMP model with slow-moving habits and capital adjustment costs. The framework solves both the equity premium and the Shimer puzzle and reproduces the high correlation of employment and equity prices.

description: Phagocytic cells possess a complex and unique system for the generation of superoxide anion (02-)- However, due to the acidic nature of the phagosomal vacuole, 02- is rapidly converted to hydrogen peroxide (H202) by spontaneous dismutation. These reactive oxygen reduction species are of well documented importance in the microbicidal and inflammatory response. H202 is believed to be particularly important because (a) it can traverse bacterial membranes to gain access to an intracellular milieu where it can cause DNA damage and oxidation of respiratory chain components and (b) H202 can lead to formation of more reactive "down-stream" oxidative species: H202 can react with Fe2+ or other reduced transition metals (e.g., Cu+) in a Fenton reaction to form the hydroxyl radical (HO'); H202 can react with myeloperoxidase (or other peroxidases) in the presence of a halide such as chloride to form OCI-; OC- derived from H202 can react with 02- to form HO. Last, H202 can react with HOCI to form the highly reactive singlet oxygen ('02). Therefore, H202 is likely a critical threat to microbial survival.

description: Considering models with tilted linear and quadratic band touching dispersions, we analyze the effect of the transverse linear tilt on the transmission spectra through a harmonically driven potential well oriented longitudinally. Employing the Floquet scattering matrix formalism, we find Fano resonances as an outcome of matching between the Floquet sidebands and quasi-bound states, where the tilt renormalizes their energies and wave vectors. We find that the Fano resonance energy decreases (increases) for linear (quadratic) band touchings as the magnitude of the transverse momentum increases, indicating a distinct signature of the underlying band dispersion in the transmission profile. The sign of the product of the transverse momentum and the tilt also determines the relative shift in the Fano resonance energy with respect to the untilted case for both band dispersions, suggesting a possible tunability of the Fano resonance for tilted systems. Importantly, the tilt strength can also be directly determined by measuring the Fano resonance energy as function of the transverse momenta direction. We furthermore study the shot noise spectra and their differential property where we find an inflection region and undulation, respectively, around the Fano resonance energy. Interestingly, differential shot noise and transmission spectra both qualitatively behave in a similar fashion and might thus serve as important observables for future experiments on driven solid-state systems.

description: Recent measurements at LHC has inspired searches for TeV scale left-right gauge theory originating from grand unified theories. We show that inclusion of Planck-scale induced effects due to ${\rm dim.}5$ operator not only does away with all the additional intermediate symmetries, but also it predicts the minimal set of light Higgs scalars tailored after neutrino masses and dilepton, or trilepton signals. The heavy-light neutrino mixings are predicted from charged fermion mass fits in $SO(10)$ and LFV constraints which lead to new predictions for dilepton or trilepton production signals. Including fine-structure constant matching and two-loop, and threshold effects predicts $M_{W_R}= g_{2R}\times 10^{4.3\pm 1.5 \pm 0.2}$ GeV and proton lifetime $τ_p=10^{36.15\pm 5.8\pm 0.2}$ yrs with $W_R$ gauge boson coupling $g_{2R}=0.56-0.57$. Predictions on lepton flavour and lepton number violations are accessible to ongoing experiments. Current CMS data on di-electron excess at $\sqrt s= 8$ TeV are found to be consistent with $W_R$ gauge boson mass $M_{W_R}\ge 1.9-2.2$ TeV which also agrees with the values obtained from dijet resonance production data. We also discuss plausible explanations for diboson production excesses observed at LHC and make predictions expected at $\sqrt s =14$ TeV

description: Purpose: Children with childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) evidence a high rate of co-occurring fine and gross motor deficits. This clinical focus article reports a preliminary investigation of characteristics of developmental coordination disorder (DCD), a neurodevelopmental disorder categorized by poor motor proficiency and functional limitations, in this population. Method: Children with CAS underwent a comprehensive motor evaluation using the Movement Assessment Battery for Children–Second Edition, the Developmental Coordination Disorder Questionnaire, and a developmental history questionnaire to determine if they met criteria for a DCD diagnosis as specified in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5). Results: Six out of seven participants met DCD criteria based on the DSM-5 criteria. Four of these children had a co-occurring diagnosis of developmental language disorder, and all met criteria for DCD. Conclusions: Consistent with previous research, the majority of participants demonstrated motor deficits and 85% met criteria for DCD. Despite this high rate of motor deficits, only 57% had previously undergone a physical/occupational therapy evaluation and intervention and only one had a previous diagnosis of DCD. These findings suggest that formal movement assessments are essential for children with a CAS diagnosis.

description: This paper presents meta-logical investigations based on category theory using the proof assistant Isabelle/HOL. We demonstrate the potential of a free logic based shallow semantic embedding of category theory by providing a formalization of the notion of elementary topoi. Additionally, we formalize symmetrical monoidal closed categories expressing the denotational semantic model of intuitionistic multiplicative linear logic. Next to these meta-logical-investigations, we contribute to building an Isabelle category theory library, with a focus on ease of use in the formalization beyond category theory itself. This work paves the way for future formalizations based on category theory and demonstrates the power of automated reasoning in investigating meta-logical questions.

description: Dialogue systems and large language models (LLMs) have gained considerable attention. However, the direct utilization of LLMs as task-oriented dialogue (TOD) models has been found to underperform compared to smaller task-specific models. Nonetheless, it is crucial to acknowledge the significant potential of LLMs and explore improved approaches for leveraging their impressive abilities. Motivated by the goal of leveraging LLMs, we propose an alternative approach called User-Guided Response Optimization (UGRO) to combine it with a smaller TOD model. This approach uses LLM as annotation-free user simulator to assess dialogue responses, combining them with smaller fine-tuned end-to-end TOD models. By utilizing the satisfaction feedback generated by LLMs, UGRO further optimizes the supervised fine-tuned TOD model. Specifically, the TOD model takes the dialogue history as input and, with the assistance of the user simulator's feedback, generates high-satisfaction responses that meet the user's requirements. Through empirical experiments on two TOD benchmarks, we validate the effectiveness of our method. The results demonstrate that our approach outperforms previous state-of-the-art (SOTA) results.

description: Using the spin trap, 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline-1-oxide (DMPO) and an excess of dimethyl sulfoxide, we previously reported that in the absence of an exogenous iron catalyst, human neutrophils will not generate hydroxyl radical, manifested as the catalyse-inhibitable methyl radical spin-trapped adduct, 2,2,5-trimethyl-1-pyrrolidinyloxy (DMPO-CH3) (Britigan, B.E., Rosen, G.M., Chai, Y., and Cohen, M.S. (1986) J. Biol. Chem. 261, 4426-4431). However, superoxide destroys the preformed hydroxyl radical spin-trapped adduct, 2,2-dimethyl-5-hydroxy-1-pyrrolidinyloxy (DMPO-OH), and DMPO-CH3. The present study was undertaken to better resolve the limits of sensitivity of the spin-trapping method. Photolytically generated DMPO-CH3 and DMPO-OH slowly decomposed in the presence of a low flux (1 μM/min) of enzymatically (xanthine/xanthine oxidase)-generated superoxide, but more rapid decomposition of these adducts occurred with higher superoxide flux (5 μM/min). Inclusion of cysteine markedly increased the rate of DMPO-OH and DMPO-CH3 decomposition, masking the effects of superoxide alone. The addition of varying concentrations of superoxide dismutase did not lead to increased formation of DMPO-OH or DMPO-CH3, as should have occurred if these adducts were being destroyed by superoxide. As a positive control, we employed an iron-supplemented system with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate-stimulated neutrophils or xanthine/xanthine oxidase to generate DMPO-CH3. Addition of superoxide dismutase increased the magnitude of DMPO-CH3, primarily by increasing the rate of hydrogen peroxide formation, and to a lesser extent by prolonging the half-life of DMPO-CH3. Although spin-trapped adducts can be destroyed by a high concentration of superoxide, or by lower concentrations of superoxide in the presence of thiol-containing compounds, our results demonstrate that such decomposition does not interfere with the ability of the spin-trapping method to detect hydroxyl radical generated by human neutrophils. These data do not support the capacity of neutrophils to generate hydroxyl radical in the absence of an exogenous Haber-Weiss catalyst.
On the archaeological dimensions of Law 3028/2002 - a consideration of the effectiveness of the Greek legislative approach to cultural heritage

description: This research provides an assessment of the effectiveness of Law 3028/2002 – the principal legislation concerning the regulation of cultural heritage and archaeological research in Greece. Two deficiencies were observed within the current academic treatments of this law. Firstly, a limited engagement with Law 3028/2002 from the archaeological perspective has left such discussions about the law being primarily directed from a legalistic viewpoint. Secondly, whilst much has been written on the provisions, purposes, and implementation of Law 3028/2002, such themes have seldom been considered in a unified manner. In light of these identified shortfalls, an evaluation test has been developed and applied that merges legal opinions of Law 3028/2002 with archaeological sensitivities to assess the performance of the law in the field. As the first example of such an approach, this assessment measures Law 3028/2002 according to its objectives, how well it protects cultural heritage, and the degree to which it meets the interests of archaeological and non-archaeological stakeholders. By specifically targeting those provisions where archaeology and law intersect under Law 3028/2002, this research shows that, whilst Law 3028/2002 has improved on earlier legislation in some measures and has proven to be effective in safeguarding monuments and sites directly, it falls short of reaching its full potential. This inefficiency is identified as stemming from two main issues: (1) the law favours a centralist structure of protection that is hindered by its own bureaucratic weight and political agenda, and (2) that this centralised structure divorces the Greek public and academics from engaging with cultural heritage as active stakeholders.

description: An antiferromagnetic insulator (AFI) bearing a compensated interface to an adjacent conventional superconductor (S) has recently been predicted to generate Néel triplet Cooper pairs, whose amplitude alternates sign in space. Here, we theoretically demonstrate that such Néel triplets enable control of the superconducting critical temperature in an S layer via the angle between the Néel vectors of two enclosing AFI layers. This angle dependence changes sign with the number of S monolayers providing a distinct signature of the Néel triplets. Furthermore, we show that the latter mediate a similarly distinct exchange interaction between the two AFIs' Néel vectors.

description: Precisely characterizing and controlling realistic open quantum systems is one of the most challenging and exciting frontiers in quantum sciences and technologies. In this Letter, we present methods of approximately computing reachable sets for coherently controlled dissipative systems, which is very useful for assessing control performances. We apply this to a two-qubit nuclear magnetic resonance spin system and implement some tasks of quantum control in open systems at a near optimal performance in view of purity: e.g., increasing polarization and preparing pseudo-pure states. Our work shows interesting and promising applications of environment-assisted quantum dynamics.

description: Neutrophils stimulated with phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) in the presence of the spin trap 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline 1-oxide (DMPO), dimethyl sulfoxide, and diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DETAPAC) fail to generate hydroxyl radical (.OH), detected as the methyl spin-trapped adduct of DMPO (2,2,5-trimethyl-1-pyrrolidinyloxyl, DMPO-CH3), unless ferric salts (Fe3+) are also added (Britigan, B.E., Rosen, G.M., Chai, Y., and Cohen, M.S. (1986) J. Biol. Chem. 261, 4426-4431). Even then, .OH formation wanes in spite of ongoing superoxide (O2̇-) production. In contrast, ferric salt supplementation of a hypoxanthine/xanthine oxidase O2̇- generating system containing DETAPAC produces continual .OH, suggesting that neutrophils limit the formation of this free radical. To evaluate this hypothesis, neutrophil cytoplasts (largely devoid of granules but able to generate O2̇-) were stimulated with PMA in the presence of Fe3+, DETAPAC, dimethyl sulfoxide, and DMPO. This resulted in continual production of DMPO-CH3. In the presence of dimethyl sulfoxide, HL-60 (promyelocytic) cells differentiate into cells similar in morphology and O2̇- generating capacity to neutrophils. However, their granules lack the iron-binding protein lactoferrin (LF). Ferric salt supplementation of HL-60 cells stimulated with PMA yielded an EPR spectrum similar to cytoplasts. Supernatant obtained following PMA-induced neutrophil degranulation (which releases LF extracellularly) suppressed DMPO-CH3 formation by the hypoxanthine/xanthine oxidase/Fe3+/DETAPAC system. Anti-LF antibody, but not anti-transferrin antibody, prevented stimulated neutrophil supernatant inhibition of hypoxanthine/xanthine oxidase/Fe3+/DETAPAC-mediated .OH formation. Similarly, neutrophils stimulated with PMA in the presence of Fe3+, DETAPAC, and anti-LF antibody (but not anti-transferrin antibody) demonstrated continual formation of .OH. Neutrophil degranulation of LF limits Fe3+-catalyzed .OH formation which in vivo could protect tissue from possible .OH-mediated injury.

description: We perform a projective symmetry group classification of spin $S=1/2$ symmetric quantum spin liquids with different gauge groups on the diamond lattice. Employing the Abrikosov fermion representation, we obtain $8$ $SU(2)$, $62$ $U(1)$ and $80$ $\mathbb{Z}_{2}$ algebraic PSGs. Constraining these solutions to mean-field parton Ansätze with short-range amplitudes, the classification reduces to only $2$ $SU(2)$, $7$ $U(1)$ and $8$ $\mathbb{Z}_{2}$ distinctly realizable phases. We obtain both the singlet and triplet fields for all Ansätze, discuss the spinon dispersions, and present the dynamical spin structure factors within a self-consistent treatment of the Heisenberg Hamiltonian with up to third-nearest neighbor couplings. Interestingly, we find that a zero-flux $SU(2)$ state and some descendent $U(1)$ and $\mathbb{Z}_{2}$ states host robust gapless nodal loops in their dispersion spectrum, owing their stability at the mean-field level to the projective implementation of rotoinversion and screw symmetries. A nontrivial connection is drawn between one of our $U(1)$ spinon Hamiltonians (belonging to the nonprojective class) and the Fu-Kane-Mele model for a three-dimensional topological insulator on the diamond lattice. We show that Gutzwiller projection of the 0- and $π$-flux $SU(2)$ spin liquids generates long-range Néel order.

description: Package management is instrumental for programming languages and operating systems, and yet it is neglected by both areas as an implementation detail. For this reason, it lacks the same kind of conceptual organization: we lack terminology to classify them or to reason about their design trade-offs. In this paper, we share our experience in both OS and language-specific package manager development, categorizing families of package managers and discussing their design implications beyond particular implementations. We also identify possibilities in the still largely unexplored area of package manager interoperability.

description: ABC-stacked multilayer graphene (ABC-MLG) exhibits topological surface flat bands with a divergent density of states, leading to many-body instabilities at charge neutrality. Here, we explore electronic ordering within a mean-field approach with full generic treatment of all spin-isotropic, two-site charge density and spin interactions up to next-nearest neighbor (NNN) sites. We find that surface superconductivity and magnetism are significantly enhanced over bulk values. We find spin-singlet $s$ wave and unconventional NNN bond spin-triplet $f$ wave to be the dominant superconducting pairing symmetries, both with a full energy gap. By establishing the existence of ferromagnetic intra-sublattice interaction, $(J_2<0)$ we conclude that the $f$-wave state is favored in ABC-MLG, in sharp contrast to bulk ABC-graphite where chiral $d$- or $p$-wave states, together with s-wave states, display stronger ordering tendencies albeit not achievable at charge neutrality. We trace this distinctive surface behavior to the strong sublattice polarization of the surface flat bands. We also find competing ferrimagnetic order, fully consistent with density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The magnetic order interpolates between sublattice ferromagnetism and antiferromagnetism, but only with the ratio of the sublattice magnetic moments ($R$) being insensitive to the DFT exchange correlation functional. We finally establish the full phase diagram by constraining the interactions to the $R$-value identified by DFT. We find $f$-wave superconductivity being favored for all weak to moderately strong couplings $J_2$ and as long as $J_2$ is a sufficiently large part of the full interaction mix. Gating ABC-MLG away from charge neutrality further enhances the $f$-wave state over the ferrimagnetic state, establishing ABC-MLG as a strong candidate for $f$-wave superconductivity.

description: Cellular automata are simulations of cells interacting with each other based on simple rules. Despite the simplicity, they can exhibit complex behaviour, and have a number of applications in fields such as medicine, biology, mathematics, and more. As a result, people from a variety of different backgrounds and skill-sets may find cellular automata useful to their work or research. There exist tools to explore well-known automata, but many require some form of textual programming ability, or do not offer easy and approachable ways to customise automata. Our software aims to be more accessible for those without backgrounds in programming or cellular automata, to allow users to more easily explore and modify automata. To achieve this, we have developed a visual programming language, where users can connect components to create their own automata from scratch, without any textual programming.

Proxima Centauri

description: Recent MHD 3D modelling of the Proxima system predicts that the interaction of the planet Proxima
 b with its host star, Proxima, would be proceeding in the supra-Alfvénic regime. In this case, no
 radio emission from the star-planet interaction should be observed.
 In this talk, we present multi-epoch radio observations of the Proxima Centauri system obtained
 with the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) and the MeerKAT radio interferometers in 2017
 and 2021, at frequencies between from 1.0 to 3.0 GHz (ATCA) and 0.9 to 1.7 GHz (MeerKAT).
 We also present a relatively simple modelling, which indicates that Proxima b is in the sub-Alfvénic
 regime, and therefore can induce radio emission from the interaction with its host star. We find that the radio emission is highly circularly polarized in many epochs, with the maxima of
 emission happening at about twice per orbital period of Proxima b. The radio emission is consistent
 with being produced by the electron-cyclotron maser emission mechanism, and we suggest it is
 originated as a consequence of the interaction between Proxima b and its host star, Proxima. If
 confirmed, this result would validate the use of radio observations to detect new exoplanets. In
 addition, this would contradict the predictions from some 3D MHD modelling. This could in turn
 suggest that some of the stellar wind parameters in the region where Proxima b is located may
 need to be revised.

description: We present a constructive method to compute the AdS Virasoro-Shapiro amplitude, order by order in AdS curvature corrections. At kth order the answer takes the form of a genus zero world-sheet integral involving weight 3k single-valued multiple polylogarithms. The coefficients in our ansatz are fixed, order by order, by requiring: crossing symmetry; the correct supergravity limit; the correct structure of poles, determined by dispersive sum rules; and the dimensions of the first few Konishi-like operators, available from integrability. We explicitly construct the first two curvature corrections. Our final answer then reproduces all localisation results and all CFT data available from integrability, to this order, and produces a wealth of new CFT data for planar N=4 SYM at strong coupling.

description: Neutrophilic (purulent) meningitis is characterized by hypoglycorrhachia, an elevated protien concentration, and a predominance of polymorphonuclear leukocytes in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) (86, 158). Bacteria are the major cause of this syndrom (86, 158) although a plethora of other uncommon infectious and noninfectious etiologies have been described (86, 158). Among the bacterial pathogens producing neutrophilic meningitis, Hemophilus influenzae, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Neisseria meningitidus and Group B streptococci account for the vast majority of cases (86, 111, 158). The initial management of neutrophilic meningitis usually consists of antimicrobial therapy directed against one or more of these common pathogens (86, 111, 158). Subsequent patient management may be modified by several factors, including clinical response to initial therapy, CSF culture results and results of additional CSF analyses.

description: One form of type checking used in gradually typed language is transient type checking: whenever an object ‘flows’ through code with a type annotation, the object is dynamically checked to ensure it has the methods required by the annotation. Just-in-time compilation and optimisation in virtual machines can eliminate much of the overhead of runtime transient type checks. Unfortunately this optimisation is not uniform: some type checks will significantly decrease, or even increase, a program’s performance. In this paper, we refine the so called “Takikawa” protocol, and use it to identify which type annotations have the greatest effects on performance. In particular, we show how graphing the performance of such benchmarks when varying which type annotations are present in the source code can be used to discern potential patterns in performance. We demonstrate our approach by testing the Moth virtual machine: for many of the benchmarks where Moth’s transient type checking impacts performance, we have been able to identify one or two specific type annotations that are the likely cause. Without these type annotations, the performance impact of transient type checking becomes negligible. Using our technique programmers can optimise programs by removing expensive type checks, and VM engineers can identify new opportunities for compiler optimisation.

description: ABSTRACT # jc.2023-01269 Context: Previous studies on the relationship between thyroid gland function and the development of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) have shown distinct results, and a cohort study design with a large sample size was needed. Objective: We aimed to investigate the relationship between thyroid function in early pregnancy and GDM. Design: A prospective cohort study based on the China Birth Cohort Study (CBCS), from February 2018 to December 2020. Setting: A tertiary maternal and child health hospital. Participants: A total of 36,256 pregnant women were successfully recruited based on CBCS at this study setting. Main Outcome Measures: gestational diabetes mellitus. Results: This study finally included 26,742 pregnant women who met the inclusion criteria, of which 3985 (14.90%) were diagnosed with GDM. The women with GDM were older than the counterparts (33.26 ± 4.01 vs. 31.51 ± 3.76 years, P < .001). After removing potential influencing variables, increased thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) (aOR = 1.030, 95% CI 1.007, 1.054, P = .012) and subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH; aOR = 1.211, 95% CI 1.010, 1.451, P = .039), but not free thyroxine (FT4) and thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb), were associated with the occurrence of GDM. Further analysis indicated a nonlinear relationship between TSH and GDM (P < .05), when TSH ≤ 1.24 mIU/L, the occurrence of GDM was elevated with increasing TSH, but when TSH > 1.24 mIU/L, this trend was not obvious. Conclusion: High TSH might be associated with increased risk of GDM.

description: Hot Jupiters (HJs) are massive gaseous planets orbiting close to their host star. Due to their physical characteristics and proximity to the central star, HJs are the natural laboratories to study the processes of stellar planet interaction (SPI). In fact, HJ’s atmospheres are heated up by the radiation arising from the star. The heated planetary gas may escape from the planet's gravitational field (Lammer et al. 2003). Several works suggested that some systems show stellar activity in phase with the planetary rotation period (e.g. Shkolnik et al. 2003, 2005, 2008, Walker et al. 2008, Pillitteri et al. 2010, 2011, 2014,2015). In this work, we use a 3D magnetohydrodynamic model that includes the planet and the star and both planetary and stellar winds to investigate whether the material evaporating from the planet interacts with the stellar extended corona, and generates observable features. Our preliminary results show that the planetary wind expands and propagates along the planetary orbit. During the expansion, the wind strongly perturbs the stellar magnetic field. A region arises where the magnetic field is strongly perturbed by the dense planetary wind and where phenomena of magnetic reconnection may develop. Moreover, part of the planetary wind collides with the stellar wind and a fraction of the planet’s outflow is funnelled by the stellar magnetic field and hits the stellar surface. In both events the material is heated at temperatures of a few MK by a shock, generating X and UV radiation. These phenomena could manifest as stellar activity in phase with the planetary motion.

description: This white paper was developed as part of a practicum project to fulfill the requirements of a Doctor of Public Health (DrPH) program in the Department of Health Policy and Management at the University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill. The project aimed to explore 1) knowledge and experiences of Federal and State-level naloxone access in the United States (U.S.), 2) the impact of the historical prioritization of distribution through healthcare institutions and pharmacies, and 3) opportunities to promote equity (racial and geographic) through community-based distribution. Between May and January 2023, 13 semi-structured interviews were conducted with key informants including healthcare providers, public health professionals, harm reduction program staff and management, academics, and researchers. Participants were recruited by email and asked to participate in 45-60 minute interviews based on their knowledge of and involvement in naloxone distribution (personal or professional) since 2010. Findings from the white paper include a call to action for advancing equity in community-based naloxone distribution that should inform all institutions involved in the process.

description: Transient gradual typing imposes run-time type tests that typically cause a linear slowdown. This performance impact discourages the use of type annotations because adding types to a program makes the program slower. A virtual machine can employ standard just-in-time optimizations to reduce the overhead of transient checks to near zero. These optimizations can give gradually-typed languages performance comparable to state-of-the-art dynamic languages, so programmers can add types to their code without affecting their programs’ performance.

description: Lie-Trotter-Suzuki product formulas are ubiquitous in quantum mechanics, computing, and simulations. Approximating exponentiated sums with Jordan product formulas are investigated in the setting of JB-algebras. We show that the Suzuki type approximation for exponentiated sums holds in JB-algebras, we give explicit estimation formulas, and we deduce three generalizations of Lie-Trotter formulas for arbitrary number elements in such algebras. We also extended the Lie-Trotter formulas in a Jordan Banach algebra from three elements to an arbitrary number of elements.

description: PurposeTo examine differences in lifestyle behavioral and psychosocial factors between rural African American women with Class 3 obesity and those with overweight, and Class 1-2 obesity.DesignCross-sectional study.SettingRural Southeastern United States.SubjectsParticipants included 289 African American women with a mean age of 56 years, 66% with a high school education or less, and a mean body mass index (BMI) of 38.6 kg/m2; 35% (n = 102) were classified with Class 3 obesity.MeasuresWe objectively measured height, weight, and physical activity steps/day. Self-reported dietary and physical activity behaviors, general health-related quality of life, mental health, and social support were measured with validated surveys.AnalysisChi-Square analysis for categorical variables and analysis of variance (ANOVA) – via multiple linear regression – for continuous variables.ResultsThere were no significant demographic differences between BMI groups, except for age, where women with Class 3 obesity were on average younger (51 vs 58 y, P < .001). Although dietary behaviors did not differ significantly between groups, we observed significant group differences in self-reported and objective measures of physical activity. The age-adjusted difference in means for self-reported total physical activity minutes/wk. was 91 minutes, with women categorized with Class 3 obesity reporting significantly fewer weekly minutes than those with overweight/Class 1-2 obesity (64.3 vs 156.4 min/wk. respectively, P < .01). Among psychosocial variables, only in the physical component scores of health-related quality of life did we find significant group differences – lower physical well-being among women with Class 3 obesity compared to those with overweight/Class 1-2 obesity (P = .02).ConclusionFor African American women with Class 3 obesity living in rural setting, these findings suggest behavioral weight loss interventions may need to target physical activity strategies that address physical, psychosocial, and environmental barriers.

description: Pixel-level labelling tasks, such as semantic segmentation, play a central role in image understanding. Recent approaches have attempted to harness the capabilities of deep learning techniques for image recognition to tackle pixel-level labelling tasks. One central issue in this methodology is the limited capacity of deep learning techniques to delineate visual objects. To solve this problem, we introduce a new form of convolutional neural network that combines the strengths of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Conditional Random Fields (CRFs)-based probabilistic graphical modelling. To this end, we formulate mean-field approximate inference for the Conditional Random Fields with Gaussian pairwise potentials as Recurrent Neural Networks. This network, called CRF-RNN, is then plugged in as a part of a CNN to obtain a deep network that has desirable properties of both CNNs and CRFs. Importantly, our system fully integrates CRF modelling with CNNs, making it possible to train the whole deep network end-to-end with the usual back-propagation algorithm, avoiding offline post-processing methods for object delineation. We apply the proposed method to the problem of semantic image segmentation, obtaining top results on the challenging Pascal VOC 2012 segmentation benchmark.
