description: Diffusion MRI tractography is an advanced imaging technique that enables in vivo mapping of the brain's white matter connections. White matter parcellation classifies tractography streamlines into clusters or anatomically meaningful tracts. It enables quantification and visualization of whole-brain tractography. Currently, most parcellation methods focus on the deep white matter (DWM), whereas fewer methods address the superficial white matter (SWM) due to its complexity. We propose a novel two-stage deep-learning-based framework, Superficial White Matter Analysis (SupWMA), that performs an efficient and consistent parcellation of 198 SWM clusters from whole-brain tractography. A point-cloud-based network is adapted to our SWM parcellation task, and supervised contrastive learning enables more discriminative representations between plausible streamlines and outliers for SWM. We train our model on a large-scale tractography dataset including streamline samples from labeled long- and medium-range (over 40 mm) SWM clusters and anatomically implausible streamline samples, and we perform testing on six independently acquired datasets of different ages and health conditions (including neonates and patients with space-occupying brain tumors). Compared to several state-of-the-art methods, SupWMA obtains highly consistent and accurate SWM parcellation results on all datasets, showing good generalization across the lifespan in health and disease. In addition, the computational speed of SupWMA is much faster than other methods.

description: Absolute values of VUV-emission of a 2.45 GHz microwave-driven hydrogen discharge are reported. The measurements were performed with a robust and straightforward method based on a photodiode and optical filters. It was found that the volumetric photon emission rate in the VUV-range (80-250 nm) is $10^{16}$-$10^{17}$ 1/cm$^3$s, which corresponds to approximately 8% dissipation of injected microwave power by VUV photon emission. The volumetric emission of characteristic emission bands was utilized to diagnostics of molecular plasma processes including volumetric rates of ionization, dissociation and excitation to high vibrational levels and metastable states. The estimated reaction rates imply that each injected molecule experiences several inelastic electron impact collisions. The upper limit for the total density of metastable neutrals ($2S$ atoms and $c^3Π_u$ molecules) was estimated to be approximately 0.5% of the neutral gas density.

description: Accurately estimating the C/O ratio of hot Jupiter atmospheres is a promising pathway towards understanding planet formation and migration, as well as the formation of clouds and the overall atmospheric composition. The atmosphere of the hot Jupiter WASP-43b has been extensively analysed using low-resolution observations with HST and Spitzer, but these previous observations did not cover the K band, which hosts prominent spectral features of major carbon-bearing species such as CO and CH$_{4}$. As a result, the ability to establish precise constraints on the C/O ratio was limited. Moreover, the planet has not been studied at high spectral resolution, which can provide insights into the atmospheric dynamics. In this study, we present the first high-resolution dayside spectra of WASP-43b with the new CRIRES$^+$ spectrograph. By observing the planet in the K band, we successfully detected the presence of CO and provide evidence for the existence of H$_2$O using the cross-correlation method. This discovery represents the first direct detection of CO in the atmosphere of WASP-43b. Furthermore, we retrieved the temperature-pressure profile, abundances of CO and H$_2$O, and a super-solar C/O ratio of 0.78 by applying a Bayesian retrieval framework to the data. Our findings also shed light on the atmospheric characteristics of WASP-43b. We found no evidence for a cloud deck on the dayside, and recovered a line broadening indicative of an equatorial super-rotation corresponding to a jet with a wind speed of $\sim$ 5 km s$^{-1}$, matching the results of previous forward models and low-resolution atmospheric retrievals for this planet.

description: Weltweit wie auch in Deutschland zählt die Windenergie zu den am schnellsten wachsenden Energie-sektoren und deckt dabei einen immer größer werdenden Teil des Energiebedarfs. Knapp 25 Jahre nach Verabschiedung der Klimarahmenkonvention und der Biodiversitätskonvention in Rio de Janeiro zeigt sich, wie herausfordernd es ist, beiden Nachhaltigkeitszielen gleichermaßen gerecht zu werden. Der Ausgleich der Ziele zum Schutz der Biodiversität sowie des Klimas durch den Ausbau Erneuerbarer Energien ist heute ein zentrales Anliegen auch in Deutschland. Die Energiemix-Umstellung und der damit verbundene Ausbau der Windenergie in Deutschland stehen jedoch mit anderen Belangen wie der Akzeptanz vor Ort oder des Artenschutzes (green vs. green Debatte) im Interessenkonflikt. Gefördert durch die Deutsche Bundesstiftung Umwelt (DBU) erarbeitete das Fachgebiet Umweltprü-fung und Umweltplanung der Technischen Universität Berlin (TU Berlin) eine Analyse des Handlungs-feldes Windenergie. Das einjährige Projekt ‚Innovative Ansätze zur umwelt- und sozialverträglichen Windenergieentwicklung – eine inter- und transdisziplinäre Handlungsfeldanalyse‘ verfolgte das Ziel, einen trans- und interdisziplinären Überblick über den Handlungsbedarf im Kontext der Windenergie aus Sicht relevanter Akteursgruppen zu schaffen. Es soll folglich mögliche Handlungsoptionen zur um-welt- und sozialverträglichen Windenergieentwicklung aufzeigen. Im Kern adressiert die vorliegende ‚Handlungsfeldanalyse Windenergie‘ die themengebundene Förderung der DBU zu Position 4 (Erneu-erbare Energien) – ‚Entwicklung neuer Konzepte und technischer Lösungen zur umwelt-, gesundheits- und naturschutzverträglichen sowie sicheren Nutzung Erneuerbarer Energie‘ sowie ‚Entwicklung und Erprobung neuer Ansätze zu Qualifikation, Bildung, Beteiligung, Information und Wissenstransfer
Early breastfeeding experiences of adolescent mothers: a qualitative prospective study

description: Abstract Background Teen mothers face many challenges to successful breastfeeding and are less likely to breastfeed than any other population group in the U.S. Few studies have investigated this population; all prior studies are cross-sectional and collect breastfeeding data retrospectively. The purpose of our qualitative prospective study was to understand the factors that contribute to the breastfeeding decisions and practices of teen mothers. Methods This prospective study took place from January through December 2009 in Greensboro, North Carolina in the U.S. We followed the cohort from pregnancy until two weeks after they ceased all breastfeeding and milk expression. We conducted semi-structured interviews at baseline and follow-up, and tracked infant feeding weekly by phone. We analyzed the data to create individual life and breastfeeding journeys and then identified themes that cut across the individual journeys. Results Four of the five teenagers breastfed at the breast for nine days: in contrast, one teen breastfed exclusively for five months. Milk expression by pumping was associated with significantly longer provision of human milk. Breastfeeding practices and cessation were closely connected with their experiences as new mothers in the context of ongoing multiple roles, complex living situations, youth and dependency, and poor knowledge of the fundamentals of breastfeeding and infant development. Breastfeeding cessation was influenced by inadequate breastfeeding skill, physically unpleasant and painful early experiences they were unprepared to manage, and inadequate health care response to real problems. Conclusions Continued breastfeeding depends on a complex interplay of multiple factors, including having made an informed choice and having the skills, support and experiences needed to sustain the belief that breastfeeding is the best choice for them and their baby given their life situation. Teenagers in the US context need to have a positive early breastfeeding experience, be able to identify and claim a reliable support system supportive of breastfeeding, and gain through their experience, a belief in their own agency and competency as mothers.

description: We study statistical copolymerization effects on the upper critical solution temperature (CST) of generic homopolymers by means of coarse-grained Langevin dynamics computer simulations and mean-field theory. Our systematic investigation reveals that the CST can change monotonically or non-monotonically with copolymerization, as observed in experimental studies, depending on the degree of non-additivity of the monomer (A-B) cross-interactions. The simulation findings are confirmed and qualitatively explained by a combination of a two-component Flory-de Gennes model for polymer collapse and a simple thermodynamic expansion approach. Our findings provide some rationale behind the effects of copolymerization and may be helpful for tuning CST behavior of polymers in soft material design.

description: We revisit the problem involving two constantly accelerating Unruh-DeWitt detectors using Open Effective Field Theory methods. We study the time evolution of the joint detector state using a Markovian approximation which differs from the standard one taken in the literature. We show that this Markovian limit already implies the complete positivity of the dynamical evolution map without invoking the rotating wave approximation (RWA), in contrast to standard derivations of open system master equations. By calculating explicitly the domain of validity of this Markovian approximation, we argue that the lack of complete positivity in the usual microscopic derivation stems from the (subtle) fact that the Redfield equation is used outside its domain of validity. We give two well-known cases studied in the literature that violate the validity of the Markovian approximation: (i) the ``stacked trajectory'' limit (when detector trajectories are taken to be on top of one another), and (ii) large gap-to-acceleration ratio. Since Markovian dynamics with or without RWA can lead to different qualitative predictions for entanglement dynamics, our work emphasizes the need to properly track the regime of validity of all approximations.

The influence of a static planetary atmosphere on spin transfer during pebble accretion

description: We study the effect an atmosphere has on pebble orbits and spin build-up on a planet's surface during pebble accretion in the extreme case of a static atmosphere. We numerically integrate the equations of motion of pebbles in a planar, global frame with a planet, a central star and gas from a protoplanetary disc. An adiabatic atmosphere is then placed around the planet, and the spin deposited onto the planet's surface is measured. These simulations are evaluated for different distances to the star, Stokes numbers, and planet masses. Pebble feedback to the gas is not taken into account. We find that a static atmosphere dampens the spin the planet's surface receives by absorbing part of the angular momentum of the pebbles and circularising their orbits. This could prevent the excessive spin values predicted in some 3D pebble accretion simulations without an atmosphere. For planets larger than 0.5 Earth masses, a stationary atmosphere absorbs all angular momentum, leaving no spin for the surface. Significant quantities of angular momentum are stored in the inner and intermediate atmosphere ($<0.3$ Bondi radii). Depending on the atmospheric and disc model, this spin could be transported either to the disc through atmospheric recycling or to the planet through drag between the surface and the atmosphere. Further research is required to quantify the spin transfer within the atmosphere.

Pelvic and breast examination skills curricula in United States medical schools: a survey of obstetrics and gynecology clerkship directors
Creators: name: Chuang, Alice
Publisher: name: BioMed Central
Year: 2016

description: Abstract Background Learning to perform pelvic and breast examinations produces anxiety for many medical students. Clerkship directors have long sought strategies to help students become comfortable with the sensitive nature of these examinations. Incorporating standardized patients, simulation and gynecologic teaching associates (GTAs) are approaches gaining widespread use. However, there is a paucity of literature guiding optimal approach and timing. Our primary objective was to survey obstetrics and gynecology (Ob/Gyn) clerkship directors regarding timing and methods for teaching and assessment of pelvic and breast examination skills in United States medical school curricula, and to assess clerkship director satisfaction with current educational strategies at their institutions. Methods Ob/Gyn clerkship directors from all 135 Liaison Committee on Medical Education accredited allopathic United States medical schools were invited to complete an anonymous 15-item web-based questionnaire. Results The response rate was 70%. Pelvic and breast examinations are most commonly taught during the second and third years of medical school. Pelvic examinations are primarily taught during the Ob/Gyn and Family Medicine (FM) clerkships, while breast examinations are taught during the Ob/Gyn, Surgery and FM clerkships. GTAs teach pelvic and breast examinations at 72 and 65% of schools, respectively. Over 60% of schools use some type of simulation to teach examination skills. Direct observation by Ob/Gyn faculty is used to evaluate pelvic exam skills at 87% of schools and breast exam skills at 80% of schools. Only 40% of Ob/Gyn clerkship directors rated pelvic examination training as excellent, while 18% rated breast examination training as excellent. Conclusions Pelvic and breast examinations are most commonly taught during the Ob/Gyn clerkship using GTAs, simulation trainers and clinical patients, and are assessed by direct faculty observation during the Ob/Gyn clerkship. While the majority of Ob/Gyn clerkship directors were not highly satisfied with either pelvic or breast examination training programs, they were less likely to describe their breast examination training programs as excellent as compared to pelvic examination training—overall suggesting an opportunity for improvement. The survey results will be useful in identifying future challenges in teaching such skills in a cost-effective manner.

description: The dependence of the cosmic ray intensity on Galactocentric distance is known to be much less rapid than that to be thought-to-be sources: supernova remnants. This is an old problem ('the radial gradient problem') which has led to a number of possible 'scenarios'. Here, we use recent data on the supernova's radial distribution and correlate it with the measured HII electron temperature ({\em T}). We examined two models of cosmic ray injection and acceleration and in both of them the injection efficiency increases with increasing ambient temperature {\em T}. The increase is expected to vary as a high power of {\em T} in view of the strong temperature dependence of the tail of the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution of particle energies. Writing the efficiency as proportional to $T^n$ we find $n\approx 8.4$. There is thus, yet another possible explanation of the radial gradient problem.

description: By combining swampland conjectures with observational data, it was suggested that our universe should lie in an asymptotic region of the quantum gravity landscape. The generalized distance conjecture for dS, the smallness of the cosmological constant and astrophysical constraints led to a scenario with one mesoscopic large dimension of size $\ell\sim Λ^{-1/4}\sim 10^{-6}$m. We point out that a strongly warped throat with its redshifted KK tower provides a natural string theoretic mechanism that realizes the scaling $m\sim Λ^α$ with the factor $α=1/4$, the dark dimension being the one along the throat. We point out that in string theory it could be challenging to keep other KK towers heavy enough to avoid a conflict with astrophysical constraints on the number of extra large dimensions.

description: The continuation of a Class I archeological reconnaissance survey was conducted on three isolated parcels included in land additions for an assault runway to the east side of the Altus Air Force Base, Jackson County, Oklahoma. A total of 222.48 acres were surveyed between December 1 and December 3, 1991. The initial land addition survey was conducted in 1989. Four historic sites were located during this survey. All of these resources have been subjected to disturbances which have severely compromised their integrity. This is primarily the result of extensive land modifications by land owners over the past thirty years. As a result of the these factors, the four identified historic archeological sites are recommended as ineligible for listing on National Register of Historic Places .

description: Introduced more than fifty years ago, dynamic light scattering is routinely used to determine the size distribution of colloidal suspensions, as well as of macromolecules in solution, such as proteins, nucleic acids, and their complexes. More recently, differential dynamic microscopy has been proposed as a way to perform dynamic light scattering experiments with a microscope, with much less stringent constraints in terms of cleanliness of the optical surfaces, but a potentially lower sensitivity due to the use of camera-based detectors. In this work, we push bright-field differential dynamic microscopy beyond known limits and show it to be sufficiently sensitive to size small macromolecules in diluted solutions. By considering solutions of three different proteins (Bovine Serum Albumin, Lysozyme, and Pepsin), we accurately determine the diffusion coefficient and hydrodynamic radius of both single proteins and small protein aggregates down to concentrations of a few milligrams per milliliter. In addition, we present preliminary results showing unexplored potential for the determination of virial coefficients. Our results are in excellent agreement with the ones obtained in parallel with a state-of-the-art commercial dynamic light scattering setup, showing that differential dynamic microscopy represents a valuable alternative for rapid, label-free protein sizing with an optical microscope.

description: HEVC is the new video coding standard of the Joint Collaborative Team on Video Coding. As in its predecessor H.264/AVC, Context-based Adaptive Binary Arithmetic Coding (CABAC) is a throughput bottleneck. This paper presents a hardware acceleration approach for transform coefficient decoding, the most time consuming part of CABAC in HEVC. In addition to a baseline design, a pipelined architecture and a parallel algorithm are implemented in an FPGA to evaluate the gain of these optimizations. The resulting baseline hardware design decodes 62 Mbins/s and achieves a 10× speed-up compared to an optimized software decoder for a typical workload at only a tenth of the processors clock frequency. The pipelined design gives an additional 13.5%, while the parallel design provides a 10% throughput improvement compared to the baseline. According to these results, HEVC CABAC decoding offers good hardware acceleration opportunities that should be further exploited in future work.
Elliptic Annular Josephson Tunnel Junctions in an external magnetic field: The dynamics

Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)

description: We analyze the dynamics of a magnetic flux quantum (current vortex) trapped in a current-biased long planar elliptic annular Josephson tunnel junction. The system is modeled by a perturbed sine-Gordon equation that determines the spatial and temporal behavior of the phase difference across the tunnel barrier separating the two superconducting electrodes. In the absence of an external magnetic field the fluxon dynamics in an elliptic annulus does not differ from that of a circular annulus where the stationary fluxon speed merely is determined by the system losses. The interaction between the vortex magnetic moment and a spatially homogeneous in-plane magnetic field gives rise to a tunable periodic non-sinusoidal potential which is strongly dependent on the annulus aspect ratio. We study the escape of the vortex from a well in the tilted potential when the bias current exceeds the depinning current. The smallest depinning current as well as the lowest sensitivity of the annulus to the external field is achieved when the eccentricity is equal to -1. The presented extensive numerical results are in good agreement with the findings of the perturbative approach. We also probe the rectifying properties of an asymmetric potential implemented with an egg-shaped annulus formed by two semi-elliptic arcs.

description: Diamond has emerged as a leading host material for solid-state quantum emitters, quantum memories, and quantum sensors. However, the challenges in fabricating photonic devices in diamond have limited its potential for use in quantum technologies. While various hybrid integration approaches have been developed for coupling diamond color centers with photonic devices defined in a heterogeneous material, these methods suffer from either large insertion loss at the material interface or evanescent light-matter coupling. Here, we present a new technique that enables deterministic assembly of diamond color centers in a silicon nitride photonic circuit. Using this technique, we observe Purcell enhancement of silicon vacancy centers coupled to a silicon nitride ring resonator. Our hybrid integration approach has the potential for achieving the maximum possible light-matter interaction strength while maintaining low insertion loss, and paves the way towards scalable manufacturing of large-scale quantum photonic circuits integrated with high-quality quantum emitters and spins.

The grand canonical catastrophe as an instance of condensation of fluctuations

description: The so-called grand canonical catastrophe of the density fluctuations in the ideal Bose gas is shown to be a particular instance of the much more general phenomenon of condensation of fluctuations, taking place in a large system, in or out of equilibrium, when a single degree of freedom makes a macroscopic contribution to the fluctuations of an extensive quantity. The pathological character of the "catastrophe" is demystified by emphasizing the connection between experimental conditions and statistical ensembles, as demonstrated by the recent realization of photon condensation under grand canonical conditions.

description: We study the class of compact spaces that appear as structure spaces of separable Banach lattices. In other words, we analyze what $C(K)$ spaces appear as principal ideals of separable Banach lattices. Among other things, it is shown that every such compactum $K$ admits a strictly positive regular Borel measure of countable type that is analytic, and in the nonmetrizable case these compacta are saturated with copies of $β\mathbb N$. Some natural questions about this class are left open.

description: The Mars flyby of C/2013 A1 (Siding Spring) represented a unique opportunity for imaging a long-period comet and resolving its nucleus and rotation period. Because of the small encounter distance and the high relative velocity, the goal of successfully observing C/2013 A1 from the Mars orbiting spacecrafts posed strict accuracy requirements on the comet's ephemerides. These requirements were hard to meet, as comets are known for being highly unpredictable: astrometric observations can be significantly biased and nongravitational perturbations affect comet trajectories. Therefore, even prior to the encounter, we remeasured a couple of hundred astrometric images obtained with ground-based and Earth-orbiting telescopes. We also observed the comet with the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter's High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera on 2014 October 7. In particular, these HiRISE observations were decisive in securing the trajectory and revealed that out-of-plane nongravitational perturbations were larger than previously assumed. Though the resulting ephemeris predictions for the Mars encounter allowed observations of the comet from the Mars orbiting spacecrafts, post-encounter observations show a discrepancy with the pre-encounter trajectory. We reconcile this discrepancy by employing the Rotating Jet Model, which is a higher fidelity model for nongravitational perturbations and provides an estimate of C/2013 A1's spin pole.

description: (Abridged) Using the IRAM NOEMA interferometer, we measures the redshifts of 126 bright galaxies detected in the Herschel H-ATLAS, HeLMS, and HerS surveys. We report reliable spectroscopic redshifts for a total of 124 of the Herschel-selected galaxies. The redshifts are estimated from scans of the 3 and 2-mm bands (and, in one case, the 1-mm band) and are based on the detection of at least two emission lines. Together with the Pilot Programme (Neri et al. 2020), including spectroscopic redshifts of 11 sources, our survey has derived precise redshifts for 135 bright Herschel-selected galaxies, making it the largest sample of high-z galaxies with robust redshifts to date. Most emission lines detected are from 12CO (mainly from J=2-1 to 5-4), with some sources seen in [CI] and H2O emission lines. The spectroscopic redshifts are in the range 0.8
