description: A full energy and flavor-dependent analysis of the three-year high-energy IceCube neutrino events is presented. By means of multidimensional fits, we derive the current preferred values of the high-energy neutrino flavor ratios, the normalization and spectral index of the astrophysical fluxes, and the expected atmospheric background events, including a prompt component. A crucial assumption resides on the choice of the energy interval used for the analyses, which significantly biases the results. When restricting ourselves to the ~30 TeV - 3 PeV energy range, which contains all the observed IceCube events, we find that the inclusion of the spectral information improves the fit to the canonical flavor composition at Earth, (1:1:1), with respect to a single-energy bin analysis. Increasing both the minimum and the maximum deposited energies has dramatic effects on the reconstructed flavor ratios as well as on the spectral index. Imposing a higher threshold of 60 TeV yields a slightly harder spectrum by allowing a larger muon neutrino component, since above this energy most atmospheric tracklike events are effectively removed. Extending the high-energy cutoff to fully cover the Glashow resonance region leads to a softer spectrum and a preference for tau neutrino dominance, as none of the expected electron antineutrino induced showers have been observed so far. The lack of showers at energies above 2 PeV may point to a broken power-law neutrino spectrum. Future data may confirm or falsify whether or not the recently discovered high-energy neutrino fluxes and the long-standing detected cosmic rays have a common origin.

description: Providing access to research data while upholding the FAIR principles presents unique challenges. To facilitate reuse, it is not enough to just archive the research data itself but accompanying research software, e.g., computational workflows, must be described using metadata and archived as well, for which DataPLANT developed the Annotated Research Context (ARC) specification. This work extends this concept for long-term access to also detect, describe, and preserve implicit software dependencies, e.g., Docker images or host operating system kernels, which otherwise might be no longer available at time of future reuse. It further addresses implicit long-term hardware dependencies using emulation in a generic and descriptive way. It shows that preservation of research software must be an integral part already of development workflows and not an afterthought and shows how existing work can be integrated into DataPLANT's research data management system to turn an archived ARC into a long-term re-executable ARC.

description: Testing of asymptomatic patients for severe acute respiratory coronavirus virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) (ie, “asymptomatic screening) to attempt to reduce the risk of nosocomial transmission has been extensive and resource intensive, and such testing is of unclear benefit when added to other layers of infection prevention mitigation controls. In addition, the logistic challenges and costs related to screening program implementation, data noting the lack of substantial aerosol generation with elective controlled intubation, extubation, and other procedures, and the adverse patient and facility consequences of asymptomatic screening call into question the utility of this infection prevention intervention. Consequently, the Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America (SHEA) recommends against routine universal use of asymptomatic screening for SARS-CoV-2 in healthcare facilities. Specifically, preprocedure asymptomatic screening is unlikely to provide incremental benefit in preventing SARS-CoV-2 transmission in the procedural and perioperative environment when other infection prevention strategies are in place, and it should not be considered a requirement for all patients. Admission screening may be beneficial during times of increased virus transmission in some settings where other layers of controls are limited (eg, behavioral health, congregate care, or shared patient rooms), but widespread routine use of admission asymptomatic screening is not recommended over strengthening other infection prevention controls. In this commentary, we outline the challenges surrounding the use of asymptomatic screening, including logistics and costs of implementing a screening program, and adverse patient and facility consequences. We review data pertaining to the lack of substantial aerosol generation during elective controlled intubation, extubation, and other procedures, and we provide guidance for when asymptomatic screening for SARS-CoV-2 may be considered in a limited scope.

Search for stealth supersymmetry in events with jets, either photons or leptons, and low missing transverse momentum in pp collisions at 8 TeV

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)

description: The results of a search for new physics in final states with jets, either photons or leptons, and low missing transverse momentum are reported. The study is based on a sample of proton-proton collisions collected at center-of-mass energy sqrt(s) = 8 TeV with the CMS detector in 2012. The integrated luminosity of the sample is 19.7 inverse femtobarns. Many models of new physics predict the production of events with jets, electroweak gauge bosons, and little or no missing transverse momentum. Examples include stealth models of supersymmetry (SUSY), which predict a hidden sector at the electroweak energy scale in which SUSY is approximately conserved. The data are used to search for stealth SUSY signatures in final states with either two photons or an oppositely charged electron and muon. No excess is observed with respect to the standard model expectation, and the results are used to set limits on squark pair production in the stealth SUSY framework.

description: We investigate the Glauber-gluon effect on the $B \to ππ$ and $ρρ$ decays, which is introduced via a convolution of a universal Glauber phase factor with transverse-momentum-dependent(TMD) meson wave functions in the $k_T$ factorization theorem. For an appropriate parametrization of the Glauber phase, it is observed that a TMD wave function for the pion ($ρ$ meson) with a weak (strong) falloff in parton transverse momentum $k_T$ leads to significant (moderate) modification of the $B^0 \to π^0 π^0$ ($B^0 \to ρ^0 ρ^0$) branching ratio: the former (latter) is enhanced (reduced) by about a factor of 2 (15\%). This observation is consistent with the dual role of the pion as a massless Nambu-Goldstone boson and as a $q \bar q$ bound state, which requires a tighter spatial distribution of its leading Fock state relative to higher Fock states. The agreement between the theoretical predictions and the data for all the $B \to ππ$ and $ρ^0 ρ^0$ branching ratios is then improved simultaneously, and it is possible to resolve the $B \to ππ$ puzzle.

description: Global trends towards the rapidly increasing use of information systems (IS) apply to the IS research domain and related publications. Nonetheless, investigations of trends in publication behavior and emergence as well as changes in IS research are usually narrowly focused. This article contributes to the growing number of articles published in the IS domain by analyzing the evolution of trends and major research fields as well as the regional distribution of publications in the AIS Senior Scholars’ Basket of Eight (AIS Bo8) and the International Conference on Information Systems (ICIS), changes in publication behavior, and the emergence of as well as changes to IS research fields and trends. Our semi-automated literature review integrates scientific methods to support the review and classification of publications. Based on 6692 articles published in the ICIS proceedings and the AIS Bo8 journals in a period of 16 years, we elaborate the key characteristics of research development. Our contribution provides and interprets a contemporaneous account of contextual factors influencing the IS research domain. Thus, our study enhances understanding of the development of the IS research domain.
Discovering the QCD Axion with Black Holes and Gravitational Waves

description: Advanced LIGO may be the first experiment to detect gravitational waves. Through superradiance of stellar black holes, it may also be the first experiment to discover the QCD axion with decay constant above the GUT scale. When an axion's Compton wavelength is comparable to the size of a black hole, the axion binds to the black hole, forming a "gravitational atom." Through the superradiance process, the number of axions occupying the bound levels grows exponentially, extracting energy and angular momentum from the black hole. Axions transitioning between levels of the gravitational atom and axions annihilating to gravitons can produce observable gravitational wave signals. The signals are long-lasting, monochromatic, and can be distinguished from ordinary astrophysical sources. We estimate up to O(1) transition events at aLIGO for an axion between 10^-11 and 10^-10 eV and up to 10^4 annihilation events for an axion between 10^-13 and 10^-11 eV. In the event of a null search, aLIGO can constrain the axion mass for a range of rapidly spinning black hole formation rates. Axion annihilations are also promising for much lighter masses at future lower-frequency gravitational wave observatories; the rates have large uncertainties, dominated by supermassive black hole spin distributions. Our projections for aLIGO are robust against perturbations from the black hole environment and account for our updated exclusion on the QCD axion of 6*10^-13 eV < ma < 2*10^-11 eV suggested by stellar black hole spin measurements.

Globally Governed Session Semantics

Subjects: subject: Logic in Computer Science (cs.LO)

description: This paper proposes a bisimulation theory based on multiparty session types where a choreography specification governs the behaviour of session typed processes and their observer. The bisimulation is defined with the observer cooperating with the observed process in order to form complete global session scenarios and usable for proving correctness of optimisations for globally coordinating threads and processes. The induced bisimulation is strictly more fine-grained than the standard session bisimulation. The difference between the governed and standard bisimulations only appears when more than two interleaved multiparty sessions exist. This distinct feature enables to reason real scenarios in the large-scale distributed system where multiple choreographic sessions need to be interleaved. The compositionality of the governed bisimilarity is proved through the soundness and completeness with respect to the governed reduction-based congruence. Finally, its usage is demonstrated by a thread transformation governed under multiple sessions in a real usecase in the large-scale cyberinfrustracture.

For the stability analysis we transfer the “feasibility-implies-stability/robustness” paradigm from model predictive control to the context of moving horizon estimation in the following sense: Using a suitably defined, feasible candidate solution based on the trajectory of an auxiliary observer, robust stability of the proposed suboptimal estimator is inherited independently of the horizon length and even if no optimization is performed.

description: Monolayer group V transition metal dichalcogenides in their 1T phase have recently emerged as a platform to investigate rich phases of matter, such as spin liquid and ferromagnetism, resulting from strong electron correla- tions. Newly emerging 1T-NbSe2 has inspired theoretical investigations predicting collective phenomena such as charge transfer gap and ferromagnetism in two dimensions; however, the experimental evidence is still lacking. Here, by controlling the molecular beam epitaxy growth parameters, we demonstrate the successful growth of high-quality single-phase 1T-NbSe2. By combining scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy and ab initio calculations, we show that this system is a charge transfer insulator with the upper Hubbard band located above the valence band maximum. To demonstrate the electron correlation resulted magnetic property, we create a vertical 1T/2H NbSe2 heterostructure, and we find unambiguous evidence of exchange interactions between the localized magnetic moments in 1T phase and the metallic/superconducting phase exemplified by Kondo reso- nances and Yu-Shiba-Rusinov–like bound states.

description: The initial surge of excitement and fear surrounding generative artificial intelligence (AI) is gradually evolving into a more realistic perspective. While the jury is still out on the actual return on investment and tangible improvements from generative AI, the rapid pace of change is challenging software engineering education and curricula. Educators have had to adapt to the ongoing developments in generative AI to provide a realistic perspective to their students, balancing awareness, healthy skepticism, and curiosity. In a recent SEI webcast, researchers discussed the impact of generative AI on software engineering education. SEI and Carnegie Mellon University experts spoke about the use of generative AI in the curriculum and the classroom, discussed how faculty and students can most effectively use generative AI, and considered concerns about ethics and equity when using these tools. The panelists took questions from the audience and drew on their experience as educators to speak to the critical questions generative AI raises for software engineering education. This blog post features an edited transcript of responses from the original webcast. Some questions and answers have been rearranged and revised for clarity.

description: The generation of multi-bound solitons is a fascinating subject of investigation in many conservative and dissipative systems, such as photonics, fluid mechanics, Bose-Einstein condensates, and so on. In this study, we demonstrate the successful extraction of phase dynamics between solitons in bound multiple solitons with up to seven constituents in a mode-locked Er laser system. By mapping the internal phase motions of multi-bound solitons to the spatial phase movement of cylindrical vector beams using orbital angular momentum (OAM)-based diagnostics, different categories of internal pulsations are revealed. We show that bound state of four solitons exhibits linear drifting relative phase evolution dynamics; while for bound multiple solitons with constituents from five to seven pulses, stationary relative phase dynamics are observed. These findings highlight the possibility of the OAM-based method access to the internal motion of multi-soliton molecules with more freedom of degrees and fuel the analogy with research on chemistry molecule complex.
On power-counting renormalizability of Hořava gravity with detailed balance

description: We consider the version of Hořava gravity where "detailed balance" is consistently implemented, so as to limit the huge proliferation of couplings in the full theory and obtain healthy dynamics at low energy. Since a superpotential which is third-order in spatial derivatives is not sufficient to guarantee the power-counting renormalizability of the spin-0 graviton, one needs to go an order beyond in derivatives, building a superpotential up to fourth-order spatial derivatives. Here we perturb the action to quadratic order around flat space and show that the power-counting renormalizability of the spin-0 graviton is achieved only by setting to zero a specific coupling of the theory, while the spin-2 graviton is always power-counting renormalizable for any choice of the couplings. This result raises serious doubts about the use of detailed balance.

Constraint on $f(R)$ Gravity through the Redshift Space Distortion

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics (astro-ph.CO)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this paper, a specific family of $f(R)$ models that can produce the $Λ$CDM background expansion history is constrained by using the currently available geometric and dynamic probes. The scale dependence of the growth rate $f(z,k)$ in this specific family of $f(R)$ model is shown. Therefore to eliminate the scale dependence of $fσ_8(z)$ in theory, which usually is defined as the product of $f(z,k)$ and $σ_8(z)$, we define $fσ_8(z)=dσ_8(z)/d\ln a$ which is obviously scale independent and reproduces the conventional definition in the standard $Λ$CDM cosmology. In doing so, under the assumption that future probes having the same best fit values as the current ten data points of $fσ_8(z)$, even having $20\%$ error bars enlarged, we find a preliminary constraint $f_{R0}=-2.58_{-0.58}^{+2.14}\times 10^{-6}$ in $1σ$ regions. This indicates the great potential that redshift space distortions have in constraining modified gravity theories. We also discuss the nonlinear matter power spectrum based on different halo fit models.

description: Background: The knowledge nursing students acquire during their undergraduate degree influences the quality of patient care they provide for many years to come. However, previous studies indicate that students may have a limited understanding of core patient safety concepts. Objectives: The objectives of this study were to (i) examine nursing students’ performance in an interactive patient safety e-learning module titled ‘One shift, four patients … a day in the life of a new graduate nurse’; and (ii) explore students’ level of satisfaction with the module using the Satisfaction with the Patient Safety E-Learning Module scale. Design: A cross-sectional design was used with students’ knowledge and levels of satisfaction examined using descriptive statistics. Setting and participants: In total, 1038 third-year undergraduate nursing students from 22 Australian universities attempted the module. Results: The mean correct score was 74%, but there were significant differences in knowledge levels evident across the four activities that comprised the module. Participants achieved the highest mean score in Activity 2 (Predicting, monitoring, and responding to adverse events [79%]) and the lowest in Activity 3 (Clinical reasoning [66%]). The mean score for Activity 1 (Infection control and medication safety) was 74%, and for Activity 4 (Cultural competence), the score was 77%. The level of student satisfaction with the module was high with responses to each survey item exceeding 4.0 out of 5.0. The Cronbach's alpha for the satisfaction scale was 0.99, and the Content Validity Index was >0.9. Conclusions: Universities are responsible for preparing nursing students to become safe clinicians. The results from this study indicate that participants’ overall level of knowledge of key patient safety concepts was adequate. However, as knowledge is the foundation for safe practice, these results suggest that further attention to imbedding patient safety in nursing curricula is required.

description: Rigorous statistical testing of deformation using a terrestrial laser scanner (TLS) can avoid events such as structure collapses. Such a procedure necessitates an accurate description of the TLS measurements’ noise, which should include the correlations between angles. Unfortunately, these correlations are often unaccounted for due to a lack of knowledge. This contribution addresses this challenge. We combine (i) a least-square approximation to extract the geometry of the TLS point cloud with the aim to analyze the residuals of the fitting and (ii) a specific filtering coupled with a maximum likelihood estimation to quantify the amount of flicker noise versus white noise. This allows us to set up fully populated variance covariance matrices of the TLS noise as a result.

description: Imagine for a moment that we have two friends, Dominic and Letty, who have for some time been happily married to one another. However, for the past couple of months Dominic has been lying to Letty, often saying that he is inordinately busy and will need to stay late at the office to work. As one might guess, he is having an affair with one of his coworkers. Letty, at first, thinks nothing of her husband working late, but after a while, she becomes suspicious. Until recently, Dominic had very rarely spent any consistent amount of time in the office after hours.

description: It was recently pointed out that Halperin's 113 topological order explains the transport experiments in the quantum Hall liquid at filling factor $ν=5/2$. The 113 order, however, cannot be easily distinguished from other likely topological orders at $ν=5/2$ such as the non-Abelian Pfaffian and anti-Pfaffian states and the Abelian Halperin 331 state in Fabry-Perot interferometry. We show that an electronic Mach-Zehnder interferometer provides a clear identification of these candidate $ν=5/2$ states. Specifically, the $I$-$V$ curve for the tunneling current through the interferometer is more asymmetric in the 113 state than in other $ν=5/2$ states. Moreover, the Fano factor for the shot noise in the interferometer can reach 13.6 in the 113 state, much greater than the maximum Fano factors of 3.2 in the Pfaffian and anti-Pfaffian states and 2.3 in the 331 state.

description: Background & Aims: Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is chronic and recurs if treatment is discontinued. We aimed to determine rates of recurrence, and whether initial treatment with oral viscous budesonide (OVB) resulted in less recurrence than fluticasone from a multidose inhaler (MDI). Methods: This was the observation phase of a randomized, double-blind, double-dummy trial comparing OVB with MDI for initial EoE treatment. Subjects with a histologic response (<15 eosinophils/high-power field) in the trial entered an observation phase in which treatment was discontinued and symptoms were monitored. Patients underwent an endoscopy or a biopsy when symptoms recurred or at 1 year. We analyzed time to symptom recurrence and assessed endoscopic severity and histologic relapse (≥15 eosinophils/high-power field) at follow-up endoscopy. Results: Thirty-three of the 58 subjects (57%) had symptom recurrence before 1 year. The overall median time to symptom recurrence was 244 days. There was no difference in the rate of symptom recurrence for subjects treated with OVB vs MDI (hazard ratio, 1.04; 95% CI, 0.52–2.08). At symptom recurrence, 78% of patients had histologic relapse. The patients had significant increases in mean Dysphagia Symptom Questionnaire score (3.8 vs 8.7; P < .001), and the EoE Endoscopic Reference Score (1.3 vs 4.6; P < .001) compared with end of treatment. Conclusions: EoE disease activity recurred rapidly after initial histologic response to topical steroids (either OVB or MDI). Because most subjects had recurrent endoscopic and histologic signs not reliably detected by symptoms, maintenance therapy should be recommended in EoE patients achieving histologic response to topical steroids.

description: The Genomic Psychiatry Cohort (GPC) is a longitudinal resource designed to provide the necessary population-based sample for large-scale genomic studies, studies focusing on Research Domain Criteria (RDoC) and/or other alternate phenotype constructs, clinical and interventional studies, nested case-control studies, long-term disease course studies, and genomic variant-to-phenotype studies. We provide and will continue to encourage access to the GPC as an international resource. DNA and other biological samples and diagnostic data are available through the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) Repository. After appropriate review and approval by an advisory board, investigators are able to collaborate in, propose, and co-lead studies involving cohort participants.
Neutrino mass and invisible Higgs decays at the LHC

description: The discovery of the Higgs boson suggests that also neutrinos get their mass from spontaneous symmetry breaking. In the simplest ungauged lepton number scheme, the Standard Model (SM) Higgs has now two other partners: a massive CP-even, as well as the massless Nambu-Goldstone boson, called majoron. For weak-scale breaking of lepton number the invisible decays of the CP- even Higgs bosons to the majoron lead to potentially copious sources of events with large missing energy. Using LHC results we study how the constraints on invisible decays of the Higgs boson restrict the relevant parameters, substantially extending those previously derived from LEP and shedding light on spontaneous lepton number violation.

description: In order to enhance the reliability and performance of space-based Lidar systems, it is desirable to increase the damage resistance of ultraviolet antireflective coatings. For laser pulses with nanosecond pulse duration, laser-induced damage is known to be triggered by nano-sized defects embedded in the optical coating. In this work, we demonstrate the mitigation of damage precursors during the manufacturing of ion-beam sputtered (IBS) coatings using two approaches: ion bombardment with a secondary ion source and laser irradiation with a nanosecond-pulsed laser. Optical coatings produced with both technologies show a significantly increased damage threshold when tested in large-area raster scans.

description: Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) of major depressive disorder (MDD) have yet to identify variants that surpass the threshold for genome-wide significance. A recent study reported that runs of homozygosity (ROH) are associated with schizophrenia, reflecting a novel genetic risk factor resulting from increased parental relatedness and recessive genetic effects. Here we undertake an analysis of ROH for MDD using the 9,238 MDD cases and 9,521 controls reported in a recent mega-analysis of 9 GWAS. Since evidence for association with ROH could reflect a recessive mode of action at loci, we also conducted a genome-wide association analyses under a recessive model.

Singular foliations for M-theory compactification

description: We use the theory of singular foliations to study ${\cal N}=1$ compactifications of eleven-dimensional supergravity on eight-manifolds $M$ down to $\mathrm{AdS}_3$ spaces, allowing for the possibility that the internal part $ξ$ of the supersymmetry generator is chiral on some locus ${\cal W}$ which does not coincide with $M$. We show that the complement $M\setminus {\cal W}$ must be a dense open subset of $M$ and that $M$ admits a singular foliation ${\bar {\cal F}}$ endowed with a longitudinal $G_2$ structure and defined by a closed one-form $\boldsymbolω$, whose geometry is determined by the supersymmetry conditions. The singular leaves are those leaves which meet ${\cal W}$. When $\boldsymbolω$ is a Morse form, the chiral locus is a finite set of points, consisting of isolated zero-dimensional leaves and of conical singularities of seven-dimensional leaves. In that case, we describe the topology of ${\bar {\cal F}}$ using results from Novikov theory. We also show how this description fits in with previous formulas which were extracted by exploiting the $\mathrm{Spin}(7)_\pm$ structures which exist on the complement of ${\cal W}$.
