description: Many physical systems exhibit plastic flow when subjected to slow steady shear. A unified picture of plastic flow is still lacking; however, there is an emerging theoretical understanding of such flows based on irreversible motions of the constituent ``particles'' of the material. Depending on the specific system, various irreversible events have been studied, such as T1 events in foam and shear transformation zones (STZ's) in amorphous solids. This paper presents an experimental study of the T1 events in a model, two-dimensional foam: bubble rafts. In particular, I report on the connection between the distribution of T1 events and the behavior of the average stress and average velocity profiles during both the initial elastic response of the bubble raft and the subsequent plastic flow at sufficiently high strains.

description: The characterisation of exoplanets is critical to understanding planet diversity and formation, their atmospheric composition and the potential for life. This endeavour is greatly enhanced when light from the planet can be spatially separated from that of the host star. One potential method is nulling interferometry, where the contaminating starlight is removed via destructive interference. The GLINT instrument is a photonic nulling interferometer with novel capabilities that has now been demonstrated in on-sky testing. The instrument fragments the telescope pupil into sub-apertures that are injected into waveguides within a single-mode photonic chip. Here, all requisite beam splitting, routing and recombination is performed using integrated photonic components. We describe the design, construction and laboratory testing of our GLINT pathfinder instrument. We then demonstrate the efficacy of this method on sky at the Subaru Telescope, achieving a null-depth precision on sky of $\sim10^{-4}$ and successfully determining the angular diameter of stars (via their null-depth measurements) to milli-arcsecond accuracy. A statistical method for analysing such data is described, along with an outline of the next steps required to deploy this technique for cutting-edge science.
Low-Mass Pre-Main Sequence Stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud - III: Accretion Rates from HST-WFPC2 Observations

description: We have measured the present accretion rate of roughly 800 low-mass (~1-1.4 Mo) pre-Main Sequence stars in the field of Supernova 1987A in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC, Z~0.3 Zo). It is the first time that this fundamental parameter for star formation is determined for low-mass stars outside our Galaxy. The Balmer continuum emission used to derive the accretion rate positively correlates with the Halpha excess. Both these phenomena are believed to originate from accretion from a circumstellar disk so that their simultaneous detection provides an important confirmation of the pre-Main Sequence nature of the Halpha and UV excess objects, which are likely to be the LMC equivalent of Galactic Classical TTauri stars. The stars with statistically significant excesses are measured to have accretion rates larger than 1.5x10^{-8}Mo/yr at an age of 12-16 Myrs. For comparison, the time scale for disk dissipation observed in the Galaxy is of the order of 6 Myrs. Moreover, the oldest Classical TTauri star known in the Milky Way (TW Hydrae, with 10 Myrs of age) has a measured accretion rate of only 5x10^{-10} Mo/yr, ie 30 times less than what we measure for stars at a comparable age in the LMC. Our findings indicate that metallicity plays a major role in regulating the formation of low-mass stars.

The Ep,i - Eiso correlation: type I gamma-ray bursts and the new classification method

description: We present the most extensive sample of 45 type I (short) and 275 type II (long) gamma-ray bursts (GRB) with known redshift to investigate the correlation between the rest frame peak energy, Ep,i and the total isotropic equivalent energy, Eiso of the prompt emission (Amati relation). The Ep,i - Eiso correlation for type I bursts is found to be well-distinguished from the one constructed for type II bursts and has a similar power-law index value, a = 0.4, which possibly indicates the same emission mechanism of both GRB types. We show that the initial pulse complex (IPC) of type I bursts with an extended emission and regular type I bursts follow the same correlation. We obtain similar results for type II bursts associated with Ic supernovae and for regular type II bursts. Three possible outliers from the Ep,i - Eiso correlation for type II subsample are detected. Significant evolution of the Ep,i - Eiso correlation with redshift for type II bursts is not found. We suggest the new classification method, based on the Ep,i - Eiso correlation and introduce two parameters, EH and EHD. EHD is found to be the most reliable parameter for the blind type I - type II classification, which can be used to classify GRBs with no redshift.

Modeling of Exercise Induced Effects on Blood Glucose Dynamics in T1DM Patients
Creators: name: Schneider, Kevin
Publisher: name: ETH Zurich
Year: 2020

description: Keeping Blood Glucose (BG) concentrations in a healthy range is despite long ongoing research a difficult task in individuals suffering from Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM). Especially, the effects that physical activity imposes on the BG dynamics are still one of the major challenges. While first attempts have been made to model the effects of aerobic exercise on BG. No one has yet focused on the anaerobic exercise and its unique impact on glycemic control. Although anaerobic activity is common in the general population, mostly in form of resistance exercise, and is seen to improve glycemic control, no one yet has focused on modeling its unique impact on glycemic levels. Together with the recent development of wrist-worn fitness trackers, it has become easier than ever to classify exercise type, intensity, and duration non accurately and non-invasively.
Thus, this project focuses on learning models from data obtained by fitness trackers to classify exercise accurately. This is done by fusing Heart Rate (HR) data with motion data. Additionally, a stand-alone exercise model is proposed capable of capturing aerobic and anaerobic activity. The performance of this model is validated with HR data during different exercise types.
The exercise model is built in a LPV-like manner and can thus be used for direct controller design or to enhance Virtual Patient Population (VPP) simulators such as the famous FDA approved UVa-Padova simulator.
Lastly, the proposed exercise model is used as an extension to the well known Bergman Minimal Model and evaluated on in-silico data. It is seen to capture the opposing effects of aerobic and anaerobic exercise as widely mentioned in the literature. Thus it lays pioneering work in the field of capturing anaerobic effects. Nevertheless, the group is further working on validating the model’s performance with in-vivo data obtained from a specifically designed clinical trial.
Entanglement induced by spontaneous emission in spatially extended two-atom systems

description: We investigate the role of the collective antisymmetric state in entanglement creation by spontaneous emission in a system of two non-overlapping two-level atoms. We calculate and illustrate graphically populations of the collective atomic states and the Wootters entanglement measure (concurrence) for two sets of initial atomic conditions. Our calculations include the dipole-dipole interaction and a spatial separation between the atoms that the antisymmetric state of the system is included throughout even for small interatomic separations. It is shown that spontaneous emission can lead to a transient entanglement between the atoms even if the atoms were prepared initially in an unentangled state. We find that the ability of spontaneous emission to create the transient entanglement relies on the absence of population in the collective symmetric state of the system. For the initial state of only one atom excited, the entanglement builds up rapidly in time and reaches a maximum for the parameter values corresponding roughly to zero population in the symmetric state. On the other hand, for the initial condition of both atoms excited, the atoms remain unentangled until the symmetric state is depopulated. A simple physical interpretation of these results is given in terms of the diagonal states of the density matrix of the system. We also study entanglement creation in a system of two non-identical atoms of different transition frequencies. It is found that the entanglement between the atoms can be enhanced compared to that for identical atoms, and can decay with two different time scales resulting from the coherent transfer of the population from the symmetric to the antisymmetric state. In addition, we find that a decaying initial entanglement between the atoms can display a revival behaviour.

description: We describe an implementation of a genetic algorithm on partially commutative groups and apply it to the double coset search problem on a subclass of groups. This transforms a combinatorial group theory problem to a problem of combinatorial optimisation. We obtain a method applicable to a wide range of problems and give results which indicate good behaviour of the genetic algorithm, hinting at the presence of a new deterministic solution and a framework for further results.

description: A reciprocal structure (RS) is a mechanical resistant structure formed by a set of self-supporting elements satisfying certain conditions of structural reciprocity (SR) . The first condition is that each element of the structure has to support and be supported by the others. The second condition is that these functions cannot occur in the same part of the element. These two properties make beams and two-dimensional materials very much appropriate to build RSs. Commonly seen in floors or roofs, SR is also present in art, religious symbols and decorative objects. Da Vinci has drawn several examples of such RSs. Here, we propose a simple nano version of a da Vinci's RS based on graphene nanoribbons. The stability and resistance against mechanical impacts (ballistic projectile) were investigated through fully atomistic molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. We considered structures with three and four joins with and without RS topologies. Our MD results showed that structures with RS topologies are more impact resistant than those without SR, despite the fact that the used graphene nanoribbons are highly pliable. We discuss these results in terms of the number of joins, energy absorption and stress on the structures. We discuss possible applications in nanoengineering.

description: Empirical investigations seeking to determine the income elasticity of demand for cigarettes in the United States have been few, and have been based chiefly on time-series data. Their findings have been in general agreement, showing the income elasticity to be about 0.5 or 0.6. This article describes an investigation based on a cross-section approach using data from a recent survey of the Bureau of the Census on smoking characteristics in relation to income and other factors. A feature of this investigation is the disaggregation of demand data by age and sew. The income elasticity of demand for cigarettes obtained from this analysis is indicated to be lower than found by earlier investigators. These results are compared with those of previous studies, and some reasons are advanced for the differences.

Farm Management

description: The problem of allocating farm income among the factors of production has long received the attention of agricultural economists. Progress toward a satisfactory solution has been impeded, both by difficult conceptual problems and by lack of adequate statistical data. In the following article, Mr. Hurd makes a new ef fort in the field of farm income allocation on the basis of a considerably better-than-average body of data, and a new conceptual approach. It is not expected that all readers will concur fully with his analysis. Problems are certain to be raised with respect to such questions as whether the value of inventory changes should be included in net farm income for allocation purposes; the inclusion of capital outlays in expenses deductible from gross income; and combining the return to labor and management. However, this paper does offer an approach to the problem that is both interesting and stimulating, and has the particular virtue of avoiding the unsatisfactory method of always treating the returns to one of the factors as a residual item.

description: Experiments have shown that the same stimulation pattern that causes Long-Term Potentiation in proximal synapses, will induce Long-Term Depression in distal ones. In order to understand these, and other, surprising observations we use a phenomenological model of Hebbian plasticity at the location of the synapse. Our computational model describes the Hebbian condition of joint activity of pre- and post-synaptic neuron in a compact form as the interaction of the glutamate trace left by a presynaptic spike with the time course of the postsynaptic voltage. We test the model using experimentally recorded dendritic voltage traces in hippocampus and neocortex. We find that the time course of the voltage in the neighborhood of a stimulated synapse is a reliable predictor of whether a stimulated synapse undergoes potentiation, depression, or no change. Our model can explain the existence of different -- at first glance seemingly paradoxical -- outcomes of synaptic potentiation and depression experiments depending on the dendritic location of the synapse and the frequency or timing of the stimulation.

description: It has been shown that the KJMA (Kolmogorov-Johnson-Mehl-Avrami) solution of phase transition kinetics can be set as a problem of correlated nucleation [Phys.Rev.B65, 172301 (2002)]. In this paper the equivalence between the standard solution and the approach that makes use of the actual nucleation rate, i.e. that takes into account spatial correlation among nuclei and/or grains, is shown by a direct calculation in case of linear growth and constant nucleation rate. As a consequence, the intrinsic limit of KJMA theory due to the phenomenon of phantom overgrowth is, at last, overcome. This means that thanks to this new approach it is possible, for instance, to describe phase transition governed by diffusion.

description: Short-term traffic demand prediction is one of the crucial issues in intelligent transport systems, which  enable  operators  to  dispatch  their  vehicles  in  advance,  satisfying both drivers and passengers. This study aims to predict traffic demand over the entire city based on the graph convolutional network. Specifically, we divide the  study area into several non-overlap sub-regions. Each sub-region is treated as a node and a traffic demand graph is constructed. We then build three graph convolution networks based on three different weighted adjacency matrices. Furthermore, a data-driven graph convolutional network is developed, which can capture the correlation between pairs of  sub-regions automatically. Finally, we compare our models with another six prediction methods.Results show that the weighted adjacency matrix can improve the prediction performance compared with a normal adjacency matrix. In addition, we proved that our data-driven graph convolutional network outperforms other predictors.

description: Abstract: Radiomic image features are becoming a promising non-invasive method to obtain quantitative measurements for tumour classification and therapy response assessment in oncological research. However, despite its increasingly established application, there is a need for standardisation criteria and further validation of feature robustness with respect to imaging acquisition parameters. In this paper, the robustness of radiomic features extracted from computed tomography (CT) images is evaluated for liver tumour and muscle, comparing the values of the features in images reconstructed with two different slice thicknesses of 2.0 mm and 5.0 mm. Novel approaches are presented to address the intrinsic dependencies of texture radiomic features, choosing the optimal number of grey levels and correcting for the dependency on volume. With the optimal values and corrections, feature values are compared across thicknesses to identify reproducible features. Normalisation using muscle regions is also described as an alternative approach. With either method, a large fraction of features (75–90%) was found to be highly robust (< 25% difference). The analyses were performed on a homogeneous CT dataset of 43 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma, and consistent results were obtained for both tumour and muscle tissue. Finally, recommended guidelines are included for radiomic studies using variable slice thickness.

description: An earlier paper' on this subject summarized results of studies on the 1954 crop in 10 Southern States. At that time three approaches to forecasting yield from plant observations were considered : (1) the multiple regression approach, (2) a "probability of survival" model, and and (3) an empirical approach. This paper describes a forecasting procedure which developed from these earlier studies as more data became available and as an appropriate way of making use of the fruiting habits of the cotton plant in a forecasting formula was better understood. The most noteworthy advance was the discovery of a simple device for estimating fruiting rate from a maturity classification of plants on August 1. This is of major importance for the August forecast because all of the fruit contributing to final yield is not yet formed by that date. After September 1, additional fruiting is no longer an important factor for the Southern region as a whole. This new approach is being used experimentally in 1956. Another paper in this issue by Jack Fleischer reports on additional work being conducted on the "probability of survival" model.

description: Abstract: Background: Animal coloration is usually an adaptive attribute, under strong local selection pressures and often diversified among species or populations. The strawberry poison frog (Oophaga pumilio) shows an impressive array of color morphs across its distribution in Central America. Here we quantify gene expression and genetic variation to identify candidate genes involved in generating divergence in coloration between populations of red, green and blue O. pumilio from the Bocas del Toro archipelago in Panama. Results: We generated a high quality non-redundant reference transcriptome by mapping the products of genome-guided and de novo transcriptome assemblies onto a re-scaffolded draft genome of O. pumilio. We then measured gene expression in individuals of the three color phenotypes and identified color-associated candidate genes by comparing differential expression results against a list of a priori gene sets for five different functional categories of coloration – pteridine synthesis, carotenoid synthesis, melanin synthesis, iridophore pathways (structural coloration), and chromatophore development. We found 68 candidate coloration loci with significant expression differences among the color phenotypes. Notable upregulated examples include pteridine synthesis genes spr, xdh and pts (in red and green frogs); carotenoid metabolism genes bco2 (in blue frogs), scarb1 (in red frogs), and guanine metabolism gene psat1 (in blue frogs). We detected significantly higher expression of the pteridine synthesis gene set in red and green frogs versus blue frogs. In addition to gene expression differences, we identified 370 outlier SNPs on 162 annotated genes showing signatures of diversifying selection, including eight pigmentation-associated genes. Conclusions: Gene expression in the skin of the three populations of frogs with differing coloration is highly divergent. The strong signal of differential expression in pteridine genes is consistent with a major role of these genes in generating the coloration differences among the three morphs. However, the finding of differentially expressed genes across pathways and functional categories suggests that multiple mechanisms are responsible for the coloration differences, likely involving both pigmentary and structural coloration. In addition to regulatory differences, we found potential evidence of differential selection acting at the protein sequence level in several color-associated loci, which could contribute to the color polymorphism.

Volunteering

description: Abstract: Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic has led to global disruption of healthcare. Many students volunteered to provide clinical support. Volunteering to work in a clinical capacity was a unique medical education opportunity; however, it is unknown whether this was a positive learning experience or which volunteering roles were of most benefit to students. Methods: The COVIDReady2 study is a national cross-sectional study of all medical students at medical schools in the United Kingdom. The primary outcome is to explore the experiences of medical students who volunteered during the pandemic in comparison to those who did not. We will compare responses to determine the educational benefit and issues they faced. In addition to quantitative analysis, thematic analysis will be used to identify themes in qualitative responses. Discussion: There is a growing body of evidence to suggest that service roles have potential to enhance medical education; yet, there is a shortage of studies able to offer practical advice for how these roles may be incorporated in future medical education. We anticipate that this study will help to identify volunteer structures that have been beneficial for students, so that similar infrastructures can be used in the future, and help inform medical education in a non-pandemic setting.

description: In the present paper, we have briefly reviewed Sznajd's sociophysics model and its variants, and also we have proposed a simple Sznajd like sociophysics model based on Ising spin system in order to explain the time evaluation of resistance probability of a closed community against to occupation. Using a numerical method, we have shown that time evaluation of resistance probability of community has a non-exponential character which decays as stretched exponential independent the number of soldiers in one dimensional model. Furthermore, it has been astonishingly found that our simple sociophysics model is belong to the same universality class with random walk process on the trapping space.

description: We present a comprehensive analysis of DB white dwarfs drawn from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, based on model fits to $ugriz$ photometry and medium resolution spectroscopy from the SDSS. We also take advantage of the exquisite trigonometric parallax measurements recently obtained by the Gaia mission. Using the so-called photometric and spectroscopic techniques, we measure the atmospheric and physical parameters of each object in our sample ($T_{\rm eff}$, $\log g$, H/He, Ca/He, $R$, $M$), and compare the values obtained from both techniques in order to assess the precision and accuracy of each method. We then explore in great detail the surface gravity, stellar mass, and hydrogen abundance distributions of DB white dwarfs as a function of effective temperature. We present some clear evidence for a large population of unresolved double degenerate binaries composed of DB+DB and even DB+DA white dwarfs. In the light of our results, we finally discuss the spectral evolution of DB white dwarfs, in particular the evolution of the DB-to-DA ratio as a function of $T_{\rm eff}$, and we revisit the question of the origin of hydrogen in DBA white dwarfs.

description: As part of the cotton forecasting research reported by Hendricks and Huddleston elsewhere in this issue, intensive studies are conducted in an attempt to make more accurate predictions of the quantity of immature fruit on the plants, as of a given date, which will develop to maturity and contribute to final yield. Those studies are concerned with tracing life histories of individual bolls and trying to find out how various factors affect probabilities of survival of those bolls. Mr. Fleischer, whose institution is cooperating in these studies, here reports on one phase of the problem.

description: In the extended Nambu -- Jona-Lasinio model, the decay width of $τ\to K^{*0}(892) K^- ν_τ$ is calculated. The contributions from the contact diagram and diagrams with intermediate axial-vector, vector and pseudoscalar mesons in the ground and first radially excited states are taken into account. It is shown that axial-vector and vector channel with a contact diagram give a dominant contribution to the decay width. The obtained results for the decay width $τ\to K^{*0}(892) K^- ν_τ$ are in satisfactory agreement with experimental data. A prediction for differential distribution over the invariant mass of the meson pair $K^{*0}(892) K^-$ is given.

Synchronous vs. asynchronous dynamics of diffusion-controlled reactions

description: An analytical method based on the classical ruin problem is developed to compute the mean reaction time between two walkers undergoing a generalized random walk on a 1d lattice. At each time step, either both walkers diffuse simultaneously with probability $p$ (synchronous event) or one of them diffuses while the other remains immobile with complementary probability (asynchronous event). Reaction takes place through same site occupation or position exchange. We study the influence of the degree of synchronicity $p$ of the walkers and the lattice size $N$ on the global reaction's efficiency. For odd $N$, the purely synchronous case ($p=1$) is always the most effective one, while for even $N$, the encounter time is minimized by a combination of synchronous and asynchronous events. This new parity effect is fully confirmed by Monte Carlo simulations on 1d lattices as well as for 2d and 3d lattices. In contrast, the 1d continuum approximation valid for sufficiently large lattices predicts a monotonic increase of the efficiency as a function of $p$. The relevance of the model for several research areas is briefly discussed.
