description: Developing high-quality transition curricula for high school students so they can be ready for college is challenging, and achieving good results requires time and commitment. Sharing approaches to implementation and outcomes findings can allow education leaders to make appropriate adjustments to existing programs or help them to start new ones.

To encourage communication about transition curricula, CCRC convened researchers, practitioners, and policymakers from seven states in the spring of 2015 (CA, FL, IL, NJ, NY, TN, and WV) to review our collective knowledge about these programs. This overview, What We Know About Transition Courses, provides a summary of the state of knowledge on transition courses based on CCRC’s ongoing research and discussions held that day. Transition Course Initiatives in Seven States is a summary of each participating state’s transition course initiative.

description: To the Editor: Recently, we found that greater norepinephrine transporter (NET) availability in the locus ceruleus of trauma survivors with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) was associated with increased severity of anxious arousal (ie, hypervigilance and exaggerated startle) symptoms, but not any of the other empirically derived symptom clusters that characterize this disorder.1 This finding suggests that greater NET availability in the locus ceruleus may serve a compensatory function of clearing elevated synaptic norepinephrine and maintaining anxious arousal symptoms in persons with PTSD.

description: The type IIB matrix model is a conjectured nonperturbative formulation of superstring theory. Recently the Lorentzian version of the model has been studied by Monte Carlo simulation, and it has been shown that only three out of nine spatial directions start to expand after a critical time. We extend this work by investigating the expanding behavior for much longer time. We find that the 3d space expands exponentially for some period of time, which may be interpreted as inflation. We also simulate a simplified model, which is expected to capture some qualitative features of the original model at much later times. We observe that the exponential expansion eventually changes into a power-law t^(1/2) behavior, which agrees with the expanding behavior of the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) universe in the radiation dominated era.

description: Perceptions that stress causes and stress-reduction controls hypertension have been associated with poorer blood pressure (BP) control in hypertension populations. The current study investigated these “stress-model perceptions” in stroke survivors regarding prevention of recurrent stroke and the influence of these perceptions on patients’ stroke risk factor control. Stroke and transient ischemic attack survivors (N = 600) participated in an in-person interview in which they were asked about their beliefs regarding control of future stroke; BP and cholesterol were measured directly after the interview. Counter to expectations, patients who endorsed a “stress-model” but not a “medication-model” of stroke prevention were in better control of their stroke risk factors (BP and cholesterol) than those who endorsed a medication-model but not a stress-model of stroke prevention (OR for poor control = .54, Wald statistic = 6.07, p = .01). This result was not explained by between group differences in patients’ reported medication adherence. The results have implications for theory and practice, regarding the role of stress belief models and acute cardiac events, compared to chronic hypertension.

description: We investigate the reversibility of laser filamentation, a self-sustained, non-linear propagation regime including dissipation and time-retarded effects. We show that even losses related to ionization marginally affect the possibility of reverse propagating ultrashort pulses back to the initial conditions, although they make it prone to finite-distance blow-up susceptible to prevent backward propagation.

description: This is the presentation of the homonymous paper, which presents a dynamic task allocation algorithm. Its function is to dynamically allocate the supervision of tasks of many autonomous operations to suited operators. The proposed algorithm accounts for the workload capacity of an operator and a balanced work distribution over all operators. We propose an iterative deepening depth-first search algorithm to find the optimal allocation. Through a series of simulated experiments, we show how our proposed algorithm results in a versatile method that can distribute a series of complex operations to operators effectively, both in terms of computational effectiveness as well as workload distribution.

description: CDKN2A is a tumor suppressor located in chromosome 9p21 and frequently lost in Barrett's esophagus (BE) and esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). How CDKN2A and other 9p21 gene co-deletions affect EAC evolution remains understudied. We explored the effects of 9p21 loss in EACs and cancer progressor and non-progressor BEs with matched genomic, transcriptomic and clinical data. Despite its cancer driver role, CDKN2A loss in BE prevents EAC initiation by counterselecting subsequent TP53 alterations. 9p21 gene co-deletions predict poor patient survival in EAC but not BE through context-dependent effects on cell cycle, oxidative phosphorylation and interferon response. Immune quantifications using bulk transcriptome, RNAscope and high-dimensional tissue imaging showed that IFNE loss reduces immune infiltration in BE, but not EAC. Mechanistically, CDKN2A loss suppresses the maintenance of squamous epithelium, contributing to a more aggressive phenotype. Our study demonstrates context-dependent roles of cancer genes during disease evolution, with consequences for cancer detection and patient management.

Conservation status
Vulnerable (VU): A 3 (d), C 1. Currently under protection, category 3 (Belov 2019).
EOO 44,800 km 2, AOO 16 km 2. Before the recent period of the botanical exploration, the species was known in three districts only and considered to have a limited distribution in Orenburg Region (Ryabinina 1998). Since then, further localities were discovered (Golovanov et al. 2018) and the distribution mapped here is even greater.
The species occurs exclusively on open calcareous substrates (chalk, limestone, marl, gypsaceous denudations) in small populations (Ryabinina 1998, Belov 2019). Although no apparent large-scale decline of its populations was observed, its habitats are fragile and require legal protection because of their being susceptible to anthropogenic pressure (by visiting and pasturing) and destruction by mining, which assumes projected decline of its populations in the absence of protection. Similarly, the species is protected in the neighbouring territories: Bashkortostan (Martynenko 2021) and Chelyabinsk Region (Lagunov 2017).
Distribution
Orenburg Region: Akbulak, Belyaevka, Dombarovka, Gai, Novoorsk, Sol' - Iletsk, Yasnyi Districts, Orsk Town (Fig. 68).
Previous reports: Ryabinina (1998), Knjazev (2009).
The species occurs in petrophytic steppes, on limestone. It has a limited distribution in the Region.
The species is distributed in Eastern Europe (south-eastern part), Siberia (south-western part), Kazakhstan, western China (Xinjiang).

description: Calling 911 during acute coronary syndromes (ACS) decreases time to treatment and may improve prognosis. Women may have more atypical ACS symptoms compared to men, but few data are available on differences in gender and ACS symptoms in calling 911. In this study, patient interviews and structured chart reviews were conducted to determine gender differences in calling 911. Calls to 911 were assessed by self-report and validated by medical chart review. Of the 476 patients studied, 292 (61%) were diagnosed with unstable angina and 184 (39%) with myocardial infarctions (MIs). Overall, only 23% of patients called 911. Similar percentages of women and men with unstable angina called 911 (15% and 13%, respectively, p = 0.59). In contrast, women with MIs were significantly more likely to call 911 than men (57% vs 28%, p <0.001). After adjustment for sociodemographic factors, health insurance status, history of MI, the left ventricular ejection fraction, Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) score, and ACS symptoms, women were 1.79 times more likely to call 911 during an MI than men (prevalence ratio 1.79, 95% confidence interval 1.22 to 2.64, p <0.01). In conclusion, the findings of the present study suggest that initiatives to increase calls to 911 are needed for women and men.

description: Two-component dipolar fermions in zigzag optical lattices allow for the engineering of spin-orbital models. We show that dipolar lattice fermions permit the exploration of a regime typically unavailable in solid-state compounds that is characterized by a novel spin-liquid phase with a finite magnetization and spontaneously broken SU(2) symmetry. This peculiar spin liquid may be understood as a Luttinger liquid of composite particles consisting of bound states of spin waves and orbital domain walls moving in an unsaturated ferromagnetic background. In addition, we show that the system exhibits a boundary phase transitions involving non-local entanglement of edge spins.

description: Der Aufbau von Systemverständnis durch Modellbildung von Gestalt-Funktion-Zusammenhängen (GFZ) ist eine zentrale Tätigkeit in der Gestaltung. Er geschieht zunächst mental und läuft oft unbewusst ab, d.h. erfahrene ProduktentwicklerInnen wissen, dass eine bestimmte Gestalt die gewünschte Funktion erfüllt, aber können nicht genau sagen, warum. Dieses mentale Modell kann unbemerkt Fehler und Lücken beinhalten (Meboldt et al. 2012). Werden diese nicht aufgedeckt, besteht das Risiko, die gewünschten Funktionen nicht, oder nicht ausreichend zu erfüllen. Im Aufdecken dieser Fehler und Lücken können qualitative Modelle wie beispielsweise Contact and Channel Modelle oder Wirkraummodelle unterstützen. Durch sie können mentale Modelle früh dokumentiert und anderen ProduktentwicklerInnen zugänglich gemacht werden. Die Anwendung dieser qualitativen Modelle ist jedoch eine Herausforderung, weshalb sie selten genutzt werden und ihr Einfluss auf das Systemverständnis von ProduktentwicklerInnen in der Gestaltung unklar ist. Ziel dieser Arbeit ist die Entwicklung von EnhanCE Modelling als Methodenschulung zur Vermittlung und Erforschung von qualitativen Modellbildung mit dem C&C²-Ansatzes. Als Basis der Entwicklung dient eine Analyse von Anwendungen des C&C²-Ansatzes und der darin bestehenden Herausforderungen. Das auf Basis dieser Analyse entwickelte EnhanCE Modelling beinhaltet drei kontextspezifische Schulungsvarianten, mit denen der C&C²-Ansatz und die in ihm vorhandene Modell-bildungsmethode vermittelt wird. Diese Schulungsvarianten ermöglichen zudem durch integrierte Anwendungsfälle die Erforschung der Erfolgsfaktoren Anwendbarkeit und Nutzen der Modellbildung mit dem C&C²-Ansatz. Die Untersuchung der Anwendbarkeit zeigt, dass der C&C²-Ansatz durch EnhanCE Modelling so vermittelt werden kann, dass er auch ohne Vorkenntnisse zur Modellbildung von GFZ angewandt werden kann. Mit der so sichergestellten Anwendbarkeit kann nun erstmalig der Nutzen der Modellbildung mit dem C&C²-Ansatz untersucht werden. In der Validierungsstudie dieser Arbeit wird der Einfluss des durch EnhanCE Modelling vermittelten C&C²-Ansatzes auf das Systemverständnis in Fragestellungen der Gestaltung experimentell geprüft. Mit diesem Experiment werden erstmalig statistisch signifikante Aussagen zum Einfluss der Modellbildung von GFZ mit dem C&C²-Ansatz auf das Systemverständnis von ProduktentwicklerInnen möglich.

description: It is commonly assumed that calculating third order information is too expensive for most applications. But we show that the directional derivative of the Hessian ($D^3f(x)\cdot d$) can be calculated at a cost proportional to that of a state-of-the-art method for calculating the Hessian matrix. We do this by first presenting a simple procedure for designing high order reverse methods and applying it to deduce several methods including a reverse method that calculates $D^3f(x)\cdot d$. We have implemented this method taking into account symmetry and sparsity, and successfully calculated this derivative for functions with a million variables. These results indicate that the use of third order information in a general nonlinear solver, such as Halley-Chebyshev methods, could be a practical alternative to Newton's method.

description: Attraction of the quantum particle to the center in the 3D space with potential V/r^2 gives rise to the quantum collapse, i.e., nonexistence of the ground state (GS) when the attraction strength exceeds a critical value (V = 1/8, in the present notation). Recently, we have demonstrated that the quantum collapse is suppressed, and the GS is restored, if repulsive interactions between particles in the quantum gas are taken into account, in the mean-field approximation. This setting can be realized in a gas of dipolar molecules attracted to the central charge, with dipole-dipole interactions taken into regard too. Here we analyze this problem for a binary gas. GSs supported by the repulsive interactions are constructed in a numerical form, as well as by means of analytical approximations for both miscible and immiscible binary systems. In particular, the Thomas-Fermi (TF) approximation is relevant if V is large enough. It is found that the GS of the miscible binary gas, both balanced and imbalanced, features a weak phase transition at another critical value, V = 1/2. The transition is characterized by an analyticity-breaking change in the structure of the wave functions at small r. To illustrate the generic character of the present phenomenology, we also consider the binary system with the attraction between the species (rather than repulsion), in the case when the central potential pulls a single component only.

description: “Logos and history”, the subject of this journal, can also be considered –from the perspective of the Phenomenology of spirit– as the relationship between spirit (Geist) and historicizing (Geschichtlichkeit). Hegel reached the maturation of this relationship at the end of his time in Jena. These concepts are essential for the philosophy of Hegel, but also for a history of philosophy, which wants to be “philosophic”.

description: BACKGROUND Although higher visit-to-visit variability (VVV) of blood pressure (BP) is associated with increased cardiovascular disease risk, the physiological basis for VVV of BP is incompletely understood.

METHODS We examined the associations of aortic distensibility (assessed by magnetic resonance imaging) and artery elasticity indices (determined by radial artery pulse contour analysis) with VVV of BP in 2,640 and 4,560 participants, respectively, from the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis. Arterial measures were obtained at exam 1. BP readings were taken at exam 1 and at 3 follow-up visits at 18-month intervals (exams 2, 3, and 4). VVV was defined as the SD about each participant’s mean systolic BP (SBP) across visits.

RESULTS The mean SDs of SBP were inversely associated with aortic distensibility: 7.7, 9.9, 10.9, and 13.2mm Hg for quartiles 4, 3, 2, and 1 of aortic distensibility, respectively (P trend < 0.001). This association remained significant after adjustment for demographics, cardiovascular risk factors, mean SBP, and antihypertensive medication use (P trend < 0.01). In a fully adjusted model, lower quartiles of large artery and small artery elasticity (LAE and SAE) indices were also associated with higher mean SD of SBP (P trend = 0.02 for LAE; P trend < 0.001 for SAE).

CONCLUSIONS In this multiethnic cohort, functional alterations of central and peripheral arteries were associated with greater long-term VVV of SBP.

description: In economic theory, homo economicus is a concept used to explain decision making as a rational exercise.1 The “economic man,” to use the term often associated with the work of the utilitarian philosopher John Stuart Mills, is someone who makes decisions by carefully weighing the benefits and costs of his or her options and then deciding on a course of action that maximizes his or her utility. Although now considered overly simplistic, this idea is often implicit in how we as clinicians have traditionally approached medical decision making. In the case of statins for the primary prevention of cardiovascular diseases, the choice is frequently framed in terms of the tradeoff between the potential benefit of preventing a future heart attack or stroke (ie, utility) and the side effects and inconveniences of taking a medication (ie, disutility). Thus, the recently released 2013 American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology guideline on the treatment of blood cholesterol reminds us that, in addition to calculating estimated atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk to determine statin eligibility, we should engage with patients “in a discussion…to consider the potential for ASCVD [atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease] benefit and for adverse effects, for drug-drug interactions, and patient preferences for treatment.”2 However, although much of the debate over the current guidelines has focused on the accuracy of risk estimation,3,4 the evidence base is limited for how to engage with patients during the decision-making process to assess their disutility for taking statin therapy.

description: These Sessional Clippings books cover the period 1891 to 1972, and include newspaper accounts written by various legislative reporters who covered debates occurring in the British Columbia Legislative Assembly. Transcripts of debates of the Legislative Assembly (Hansard) were not published in B.C. until 1970; hence these "Sessional Clipping Books" augment the "Journals", the record of daily proceedings of the Legislative Assembly. Selected clippings from various newspapers including the Vancouver Sun, the Vancouver Province, the Colonist, and the Times newspapers, relating to the newspaper reports concerning activities of the Legislature. The original sessional clippings books comprise 351 ledger size print volumes, held at the Legislative Library in Victoria BC. The print volumes were microfilmed onto 26 reels in 1977 under a Tri University Libraries (TRIUL) project by Precision Micrographic Services (Vancouver, B.C.), with the permission of the Legislative Library, Victoria, British Columbia. This digital collection was created by scanning the 26 microfilm reels.
Conjectures on Bridgeland stability for Fukaya categories of Calabi-Yau manifolds, special Lagrangians, and Lagrangian mean curvature flow

description: Let $M$ be a Calabi-Yau $m$-fold, and consider compact, graded Lagrangians $L$ in $M$. Thomas and Yau math.DG/0104196, math.DG/0104197 conjectured that there should be a notion of "stability" for such $L$, and that if $L$ is stable then Lagrangian mean curvature flow $\{L^t:t\in[0,\infty)\}$ with $L^0=L$ should exist for all time, and $L^\infty=\lim_{t\to\infty}L^t$ should be the unique special Lagrangian in the Hamiltonian isotopy class of $L$. This paper is an attempt to update the Thomas-Yau conjectures, and discuss related issues. It is a folklore conjecture that there exists a Bridgeland stability condition $(Z,\mathcal P)$ on the derived Fukaya category $D^b\mathcal F(M)$ of $M$, such that an isomorphism class in $D^b\mathcal F(M)$ is $(Z,\mathcal P)$-semistable if (and possibly only if) it contains a special Lagrangian, which must then be unique. We conjecture that if $(L,E,b)$ is an object in an enlarged version of $D^b\mathcal F(M)$, where $L$ is a compact, graded Lagrangian in $M$ (possibly immersed, or with "stable singularities"), $E\to M$ a rank one local system, and $b$ a bounding cochain for $(L,E)$ in Lagrangian Floer cohomology, then there is a unique family $\{(L^t,E^t,b^t):t\in[0,\infty)\}$ such that $(L^0,E^0,b^0)=(L,E,b)$, and $(L^t,E^t,b^t)\cong(L,E,b)$ in $D^b\mathcal F(M)$ for all $t$, and $\{L^t:t\in[0,\infty)\}$ satisfies Lagrangian MCF with surgeries at singular times $T_1,T_2,\dots,$ and in graded Lagrangian integral currents we have $\lim_{t\to\infty}L^t=L_1+\cdots+L_n$, where $L_j$ is a special Lagrangian integral current of phase $e^{iπϕ_j}$ for $ϕ_1>\cdots>ϕ_n$, and $(L_1,ϕ_1),\ldots,(L_n,ϕ_n)$ correspond to the decomposition of $(L,E,b)$ into $(Z,\mathcal P)$-semistable objects. We also give detailed conjectures on the nature of the singularities of Lagrangian MCF that occur at the finite singular times $T_1,T_2,\ldots.$

What drives the community acceptance of onshore wind energy? Exploring the link between ownership, energy justice, and place in Scotland and Newfoundland

description: This thesis investigates the key factors influencing community acceptance of onshore wind energy, specifically examining the argument that fair involvement in decision-making and fair financial benefits are powerful determinants. The thesis examines this claim through various methodologies and across two different contexts: Scotland and Newfoundland. The initial papers, focusing on Scotland, employ quantitative surveys to investigate the significance of community ownership and energy justice in determining acceptance. By comparing communities which have different degrees of ownership, that is, community, shared, and private, the first paper highlights the characteristics of ownership that foster community acceptance. Notably, it emphasises the importance of fair involvement and financial benefits, providing evidence that a co-operative can achieve a similar degree of acceptance and energy justice as a fully community-owned project. Building on the findings of the first paper, the Scotland second paper employs multigroup structural equation modelling to empirically test the influence of energy justice factors (fair involvement, fair financial benefits, and perceived turbine impacts) on social acceptance and how these relationships vary according to projects with different ownership structures. The chapter demonstrates that while energy justice factors influence acceptance, their relative importance depends on ownership. For instance, residents near the community-owned project placed greater emphasis on fair involvement, while those near the privately-owned project valued fair financial benefits and perceived impacts. The final paper, focusing on Newfoundland, uses semi-structured interviews to examine how place shapes acceptance and justice perceptions for onshore wind, analysed through sociotechnical imaginaries and a political economic analysis of successive industries in the province. The findings reveal that a shared narrative of struggle stemming from the cod fishery collapse has emerged in local discourses around wind projects, promoting acceptance. Taken together, this research demonstrates that the challenging process of negotiating just, sustainable energy transitions requires an understanding of geographical context.

Conservation status
Vulnerable (VU): C 1. Currently under protection, category 3 (Belov 2019).
EOO 43,300 km 2, AOO 68 km 2. The species has been placed under legal protection because of its rarity on the northern margin of the species distribution, because its population size was estimated at less than 1000 mature individuals and because its populations were threatened by grazing. Its currently known distribution is much more extensive than previously believed (Belov 2019) and its habitats (saline lands) are not threatened by human activities. For these reasons, we suggest that its current protection status is inappropriate and should be changed to Least Concern.

description: The analogy between electromagnetic waves and ballistic electrons within the Kane's model is developed and subsequently applied to a theoretical description of a quantum version of a metamaterial planar lens. Restrictions imposed on the perfect lens and the poor man's lens by available semiconductor band structures are discussed. A realistic implementation is proposed for the quantum poor man's lens, which uses specific properties of the HgTe compound. The properties of the lens are presented on the basis of a calculated transmission of oblique electrons through the lens structure.

description: Monte Carlo simulations of the Ising model play an important role in the field of computational statistical physics, and they have revealed many properties of the model over the past few decades. However, the effect of frustration due to random disorder, in particular the possible spin glass phase, remains a crucial but poorly understood problem. One of the obstacles in the Monte Carlo simulation of random frustrated systems is their long relaxation time making an efficient parallel implementation on state-of-the-art computation platforms highly desirable. The Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) is such a platform that provides an opportunity to significantly enhance the computational performance and thus gain new insight into this problem. In this paper, we present optimization and tuning approaches for the CUDA implementation of the spin glass simulation on GPUs. We discuss the integration of various design alternatives, such as GPU kernel construction with minimal communication, memory tiling, and look-up tables. We present a binary data format, Compact Asynchronous Multispin Coding (CAMSC), which provides an additional $28.4\%$ speedup compared with the traditionally used Asynchronous Multispin Coding (AMSC). Our overall design sustains a performance of 33.5 picoseconds per spin flip attempt for simulating the three-dimensional Edwards-Anderson model with parallel tempering, which significantly improves the performance over existing GPU implementations.

description: Changes in statistical practices and reporting have been documented by Giofrè et al. PLOS ONE 12(4), e0175583 (2017), who investigated ten statistical and open practices in two high-ranking journals (Psychological Science [PS] and Journal of Experimental Psychology-General [JEPG]): null hypothesis significance testing; confidence or credible intervals; meta-analysis of the results of multiple experiments; confidence interval interpretation; effect size interpretation; sample size determination; data exclusion; data availability; materials availability; and preregistered design and analysis plan. The investigation was based on an analysis of all papers published in these journals between 2013 and 2015. The aim of the present study was to follow up changes in both PS and JEPG in subsequent years, from 2016 to 2020, adding code availability as a further open practice. We found improvement in most practices, with some exceptions (i.e., confidence interval interpretation and meta-analysis). Despite these positive changes, our results indicate a need for further improvements in statistical practices and adoption of open practices.
