description: Water, sanitation, hygiene, waste management, and other environmental health services are critical for safe health systems, but global access is lacking. Adequate financing is a key barrier, and understanding resource allocation can help identify solutions in resource-limited contexts. We conducted a qualitative case examining resource allocation in rural Niger. Our objectives were to understand resource allocation processes, key actors and their roles, and contextual factors that influenced resource allocation. We interviewed thirty-three healthcare workers, community leaders, and government officials. We found that resource allocation followed formal and informal processes. Formal processes encompassed annual budgets and monthly supplies through government channels, while informal processes depended on healthcare workers’ out-of-pocket expenses, unpaid labor, in-kind community support, healthcare facility revenue, and contributions from non-governmental and United Nations agencies, and the diaspora. Informal resource allocation was critical to fill the gap when formal processes were slow or insufficient. Resource allocation was highly decentralized with minimal influence of national policies and legal frameworks at the local level. Key contextual factors influencing resource allocation included politicization of budgets at the commune level, sometimes leading to inefficiency or inequity. We observed that healthcare facility actors who were most knowledgeable of needs often held the least decision-making power. We concluded that informal processes were complementary to formal processes, not conflicting. In contexts where government funding is severely limited, informal mechanisms may be the only viable short-term option to ensure the availability of services, demonstrating greater flexibility and adaptability. However, ultimately informal processes are an interim solution that should be explored to ensure service delivery without undermining long-term government systems strengthening. We recommend that funders commit to long-term initiatives promoting local government democratic decision-making, account for local actors’ capacities and incentives, and acknowledge dynamic formal and informal resource allocations to optimize investments and trade-offs.

description: Belavin's $(\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z})$-symmetric model is considered on the basis of bosonization of vertex operators in the $A^{(1)}_{n-1}$ model and vertex-face transformation. The corner transfer matrix (CTM) Hamiltonian of $(\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z})$-symmetric model and tail operators are expressed in terms of bosonized vertex operators in the $A^{(1)}_{n-1}$ model. Correlation functions of $(\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z})$-symmetric model can be obtained by using these objects, in principle. In particular, we calculate spontaneous polarization, which reproduces the result by myselves in 1993.

description: Impact ionization in silicon devices has been extensively studied and several models for a quantitative description of the impact ionization coefficients have been proposed. We evaluate those models against gain measurements on Low Gain Avalanche diodes (LGADs) and derive new parameterizations for the impact ionization coefficients optimized to describe a large set of experimental data. We present pulsed IR-laser based gain measurements on 5 different types of $50μm$-thick LGADs from two different producers (CNM and HPK) performed in a temperature range from $-15^oC$ to $40^oC$. Detailed TCAD device models are conceived based on SIMS doping profiles measurements and tuning of the device models to measured C-V characteristics. Electric field profiles are extracted from the TCAD simulations and used as input to an optimization procedure (least squares fit) of the impact ionization model parameters to the experimental data. It is demonstrated that the new parameterizations give a good agreement between all measured data and TCAD simulations which is not achieved with the existing models. Finally, we provide an error analysis and compare the obtained values for the electron and hole impact ionization coefficients against existing models.

description: Analyzing 600/pb of e+e- collisions at 4170 MeV center-of-mass energy with the CLEO-c detector, we measure the branching fraction B(Ds+ -> tau+ nu)=(5.52\pm 0.57\pm 0.21)% using the tau+ -> rho^+ anti-nu decay mode. Combining with other CLEO measurements of B(Ds+ -> tau+ nu) we determine the pseudoscalar decay constant fDs = (259.7\pm 7.8\pm 3.4) MeV consistent with the value obtained from our Ds+ -> mu+ nu measurement of (257.6\pm 10.3\pm 4.3) MeV. Combining these measurements we find a value of fDs=(259.0 \pm 6.2\pm 3.0) MeV, that differs from the most accurate prediction based on unquenched lattice gauge theory of (241\pm 3) MeV by 2.4 standard deviations. We also present the first measurements of B(Ds+ -> K0 pi+ pi0)=(1.00\pm0.18\pm 0.04)%, and B(Ds+ -> pi+ pi0 pi0)=(0.65\pm0.13\pm 0.03)%, and measure a new value for B(Ds+ -> eta rho+)=(8.9\pm0.6\pm0.5)%.

description: The dynamics of single red blood cells (RBCs) determine microvascular blood flow by adapting their shape to the flow conditions in the narrow vessels. In this study, we explore the dynamics and shape transitions of RBCs on the cellular scale under confined and unsteady flow conditions using a combination of microfluidic experiments and numerical simulations. Tracking RBCs in a comoving frame in time-dependent flows reveals that the mean transition time from the symmetric croissant to the off-centered, non-symmetric slipper shape is significantly faster than the opposite shape transition, which exhibits pronounced cell rotations. Complementary simulations indicate that these dynamics depend on the orientation of the RBC membrane in the channel during the time-dependent flow. Moreover, we show how the tank-treading movement of slipper-shaped RBCs in combination with the narrow channel leads to oscillations of the cell's center of mass. The frequency of these oscillations depends on the cell velocity, the viscosity of the surrounding fluid, and the cytosol viscosity. These results provide a potential framework to identify and study pathological changes of RBC properties.

description: We introduce a real-space version of the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer interaction allowing the investigation of the non-trivial interplay between many-body physics and particles confinement on a quantum graph. When the two-body problem is considered, we find that the two-particle wavefunction is solution of an integro-differential Schrödinger equation. The solution of the two-body eigenproblem shows the presence of a two-particle bound state whose stability is enhanced in quantum graphs with peculiar network topology. We demonstrate that the enhancement effect is robust against many-body effects, which can be studied by means of the Richardson exact solution of the many-body problem. These findings suggest that the effective pairing interaction can be enhanced in quantum graphs with peculiar connectivity. Experimental evidences in Josephson junctions arrays are also discussed in connection with the microscopic mechanism described in the present work.

description: This poster is a short summary of the initial results of the #ALSMinePTMs community study. Abstract: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gherig’s Diseease is a progressive disease of the nervous system with a dismal prognosis for patients. Due to the lack of advanced molecular diagnostics, the disease is often only identified once symptoms present. Following onset, the median time to mortality is approximately 28.5 months. The late Dr. Michael Bereman of North Carolina State University was a field leading pioneer who used proteomics and metabolomics methods to vastly expand our knowledge of this disease. In work published in 2018, Bereman et al., acquired proteomics data on the cerebral spinal fluid of 63 patients with both ALS patients and healthy matched controls.(1) This publicly available data was used in the community challenge, #ALSMinePTMs to attempt to identify protein post-translational modifications involved in this disease.

description: The splashback radius of a dark matter halo, which corresponds to the first apocenter radius reached by infalling matter and substructures, has been detected around galaxy clusters using a multitude of observational methods, including weak lensing measurements. In this manuscript, we present how the splashback feature in the halo density profile affects galaxy cluster masses derived through weak lensing measurements if it is not accounted for. We find that the splashback radius has an increasingly large effect on group-sized halos towards $M_{200m} \sim 10^{13.5} \mathrm{M_\odot}$. Depending on the model and the radial scale used, the cluster/group masses can be biased low by more than 0.1 dex. This bias, in turn, would result in a slightly lower $Ω_m$ value if propagated into a cluster cosmology analysis. The splashback effect with group-sized dark matter halos may become important to consider, given the increasingly stringent cosmological constraints coming from optical wide-field surveys.
The next SABV—stress as a biological variable

description:
The 2015 policy to incorporate sex as a biological variable (SABV) enhanced biomedical research and allowed for better predictions to be made regarding clinical outcomes and environmental health risks. This review aims to make a case for the next SABV—stress as a biological variable. While the body is equipped to respond to acute stress, chronic stress can overwork physiologic systems, leading to allostatic load, or progressive wear and tear on the brain and body. Allostatic load has many implications on immune, cardiovascular, and metabolic function, and alters xenobiotic metabolism of environmental and pharmaceutical chemicals. However, historically disadvantaged communities and populations are at an increased risk of harm due to elevated exposure to psychosocial stressors and environmental pollutants. Therefore, the unique biological responses among populations that experience this double hit should be considered in toxicology risk assessments. Among current approaches, allostatic load measurements are optimal as a framework that captures health disparities and a tool that quantifies cumulative stress burdens that can be integrated into health data for better risk predictions.

description: Stability and stabilization for linear state feedback control systems in the presence of sensor quantization are studied. As the closed-loop system is described by a discontinuous right-hand side differential equation, Krasovskii solutions (to the closed-loop system) are considered. Sufficient conditions in the form of matrix inequalities are proposed to characterize uniform global asymptotic stability of a compact set containing the origin. Such conditions are shown to be always feasible whenever the quantization-free closed-loop system is asymptotically stable. Building on the obtained conditions, computationally affordable algorithms for the solution to the considered problems are illustrated. The effectiveness of the proposed methodology is shown in three examples.

An Efficient Numerical Method for Computing Gravitational Waves Induced by a Particle Moving on Eccentric Inclined Orbits around a Kerr Black Hole

description: We develop a numerical code to compute gravitational waves induced by a particle moving on eccentric inclined orbits around a Kerr black hole. For such systems, the black hole perturbation method is applicable. The gravitational waves can be evaluated by solving the Teukolsky equation with a point like source term, which is computed from the stress-energy tensor of a test particle moving on generic bound geodesic orbits. In our previous papers, we computed the homogeneous solutions of the Teukolsky equation using a formalism developed by Mano, Suzuki and Takasugi and showed that we could compute gravitational waves efficiently and very accurately in the case of circular orbits on the equatorial plane. Here, we apply this method to eccentric inclined orbits. The geodesics around a Kerr black hole have three constants of motion: energy, angular momentum and the Carter constant. We compute the rates of change of the Carter constant as well as those of energy and angular momentum. This is the first time that the rate of change of the Carter constant has been evaluated accurately. We also treat the case of highly eccentric orbits with $e=0.9$. To confirm the accuracy of our codes, several tests are performed. We find that the accuracy is only limited by the truncation of $\ell$-, $k$- and $n$-modes, where $\ell$ is the index of the spin-weighted spheroidal harmonics, and $n$ and $k$ are the harmonics of the radial and polar motion, respectively. When we set the maximum of $\ell$ to 20, we obtain a relative accuracy of $10^{-5}$ even in the highly eccentric case of $e=0.9$. The accuracy is better for lower eccentricity. Our numerical code is expected to be useful for computing templates of the extreme mass ratio inspirals, which is one of the main targets of the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA).

description: Bose-Einstein-condensed dark matter (BEC-DM), also called scalar field dark matter (SFDM), has become a popular alternative to the standard, collisionless cold dark matter (CDM) model, due to its long-held potential to resolve the small-scale crisis of CDM. Halos made of BEC-DM have been modelled using the Gross-Pitaevskii (GP) equation coupled to the Poisson equation; the so-called GPP equations of motion. These equations are based on fundamental microphysical conditions that need to be fulfilled in order for the equations to be valid in the first place, related to the diluteness of the DM gas and the nature of the particle scattering model. We use these conditions in order to derive the implications for the BEC-DM parameters, the 2-particle self-interaction coupling strength $g$ and the particle mass $m$. We compare the derived bounds with the constraint that results from the assumption of virial equilibrium of the central cores of halos, deriving a relationship that connects $g$ and $m$. We find that the GPP conditions are greatly fulfilled, for BEC-DM particle masses of interest, if such models also obey the virial condition that turns out to be the strongest constraint. We also derive the implications for the elastic scattering cross section (per particle mass) in BEC-DM halos, based on the scattering model of GPP, and find a huge range of possible values, depending on the self-interaction regime. We put our results into context to recent literature which predicts sub-kpc core size in BEC-DM halos.

description: Cet article analyse l'utilisation et l'appropriation des réseaux sociaux en tant que dispositif technique répondant aux besoins communicationnels des utilisateurs à l'ère du numérique en visant à décrire les voies d'interaction entre l'utilisateur et le dispositif technique. Cet article repose sur une revue de la littérature approfondie en sciences de l'information et de la communication, en se concentrant sur les théories de l'appropriation des technologies, en particulier les travaux de Serge Proulx. Les résultats montrent que l'adoption des médias sociaux s'articule autour de plusieurs niveaux d’interaction : l'interaction homme-machine, la coordination entre l'utilisateur et le concepteur du dispositif technique, les pratiques sociales du dispositif technique, l'interaction entre les acteurs et les dimensions impliquées dans la conception du dispositif technique, et la configuration et l'enracinement de l'usage, et donc de l'appropriation, du dispositif technique. À travers cet article, nous proposons un modèle dans lequel nous éclairons les chemins d'interaction entre l'utilisateur et le dispositif technique et les dimensions impliquées et les différents aspects associés à la conception et l'utilisation des réseaux sociaux. Enfin, cet article souligne que le principe d'interaction homme-machine a largement contribué à dépasser les modèles de communication unidirectionnels ou bidirectionnels préexistants et a inauguré l'émergence d'un nouveau modèle de communication au sein de l'espace numérique.

description: The SXI telescope is one of the three instruments on board EXIST, a multiwavelength observatory in charge of performing a global survey of the sky in hard X-rays searching for Supermassive Black Holes. One of the primary objectives of EXIST is also to study with unprecedented sensitivity the most unknown high energy sources in the Universe, like high redshift GRBs, which will be pointed promptly by the Spacecraft by autonomous trigger based on hard X-ray localization on board. The recent addition of a soft X-ray telescope to the EXIST payload complement, with an effective area of ~950 cm2 in the energy band 0.2-3 keV and extended response up to 10 keV will allow to make broadband studies from 0.1 to 600 keV. In particular, investigations of the spectra components and states of AGNs and monitoring of variability of sources, study of the prompt and afterglow emission of GRBs since the early phases, which will help to constrain the emission models and finally, help the identification of sources in the EXIST hard X-ray survey and the characterization of the transient events detected. SXI will also perform surveys: a scanning survey with sky coverage of about 2pi and limiting flux of 5x10^{-14}cgs plus other serendipitous. We give an overview of the SXI scientific performance and also describe the status of its design emphasizing how it has been derived by the scientific requirements.

description: Host plants have an effect on the susceptibility of lepidopteran insects to nucleopolyhedrovirus (NPV), but the role of the protein in peritrophic membrane (PM) of larvae has not been investigated. We determined a key PM gene (SeIIM8 gene) in Spodoptera exigua (Hübner), which plays a role in protecting against NPV infection. Then we quantified the activity of chitin synthase (SeCHS), the content of insect intestinal mucin (SeIIM) and the expression of their genes in S. exigua fed one of four foods (artificial diet, Brassica oleracea (L.), Glycine max (L.), or Ipomoea aquatica (Forsskal)) with or without inoculation of Spodoptera exigua multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus (SeMNPV). Our results showed that the larval mortality was highest for NPV-infected with siRNA-injected larvae, intermediate for NPV-infected larvae, and lowest for uninfected larvae. The SeCHS activity, SeIIM content, and their relative gene expressions of S. exigua fed G. max or artificial diet were lower compared to caterpillars fed other diets. The relative SeCHS and SeIIM8 gene expression levels of larvae depended on the interaction of NPV treatment, diet, and time. This study concluded that plants affected the susceptibility of insects to NPV by altering the enzyme activity and gene expression of insects.

description: Right heart failure (RHF) is a common manifestation after left ventricular assist device (LVAD) placement and is associated with a high mortality rate. Historically, RV failure requiring an RVAD at the time of LVAD implantation has been associated with an especially high mortality. However, more recently, some studies have shown reasonable outcomes after LVAD implantation even when an RVAD is required, especially if RV failure is recognized early and treated with RV mechanical support. This article analyzes the current trends and studies investigating the use of RVAD placement post-LVAD implantation with an emphasis on the newest devices and treatment paradigms.

description: We performed a search for a light pseudoscalar particle $X$ in the decay $K_L^0->pi0pi0X$, $X->γγ$ with the E391a detector at KEK. Such a particle with a mass of 214.3 MeV/$c^2$ was suggested by the HyperCP experiment. We found no evidence for $X$ and set an upper limit on the product branching ratio for $K_L^0->pi0pi0X$, $X->γγ$ of $2.4 \times 10^{-7}$ at the 90% confidence level. Upper limits on the branching ratios in the mass region of $X$ from 194.3 to 219.3 MeV/$c^2$ are also presented.

description: Introduction: The purpose of this study is to explore the effects of a randomized control trial designed to test the effect of a brief intervention used to improve self-regulated learning (SRL) in gateway biology courses using joint estimation of graphical models. Methods: Students (N = 265; n = 136) from three sections of a hybrid-format introductory biology course were randomly assigned to participate in the multimedia science of learning to learn or a multimedia control condition. All participants completed a self-report battery of motivational measures. Course performance data was also collected. Results: Network structures of motivation variables were estimated in two sub-groups (Treatment and Control). These networks showed a high level of correspondence in the relative magnitudes of the edge weights, however there were non-trivial differences in the edge weights between groups that may be attributed to the treatment and differences in predictability. While these findings suggest meaningful differences in motivational structures, the relatively small sample size may limit the stability of the estimated network models. The SRL strategy based interventions may have positioned the students motivationally to approach the challenging exam through activating the role of value and self-efficacy in their learning. Discussion: Many of the ways analyses of typical intervention studies are conducted ignore the underlying complexity of what motivates individuals. This study provides preliminary evidence how Gaussian Graphical Modeling may be valuable in preserving the integrity of complex systems and examining relevant shifts in variations between motivational systems between groups and individuals.

description: Atmospheres of highly irradiated gas giant planets host a large variety of atomic and ionic species. Here we observe the thermal emission spectra of the two ultra-hot Jupiters WASP-33b and KELT-20b/MASCARA-2b in the near-infrared wavelength range with CARMENES. Via high-resolution Doppler spectroscopy, we searched for neutral silicon (Si) in their dayside atmospheres. We detect the Si spectral signature of both planets via cross-correlation with model spectra. Detection levels of 4.8$\mathrmσ$ and 5.4$\mathrmσ$, respectively, are observed when assuming a solar atmospheric composition. This is the first detection of Si in exoplanet atmospheres. The presence of Si is an important finding due to its fundamental role in cloud formation and, hence, for the planetary energy balance. Since the spectral lines are detected in emission, our results also confirm the presence of an inverted temperature profile in the dayside atmospheres of both planets.

Middle English animal fable : a study in genre
Creators: name: Silkens, Rose-Marie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This study examines animal fables written in Middle English. While the purposes and methods of these narratives differ widely, an examination of them bears out the thesis that the characterization peculiar to animal fable is the basis of the fulfillment of these several purposes. Middle English animal fables extant range in type from brief Aesopic prose narratives in homilies and treatises to sophisticated narrative poems, and in time from the thirteenth century to the late fifteenth century, although some exempla in homilies are believed to have earlier origins. Many of the brief exempla fables are the work of anonymous compilers, while the poets Chaucer, Langland, Lydgate and Henryson also used the genre, the two latter having written collections. The Middle English animal fables are not exclusively didactic. Indeed, Chaucer's "Nun's Priest's Tale" and the thirteenth-century "The Vox and the Wolf" are predominantly comic in tone, as are Lydgate's "The Churl and the Bird" and many of Henryson's "Morall Fabillis". Satire also plays an important part in a definition of the nature of fable, and the use of animal characters for the purposes of political and social criticism is common to medieval manifestations of the genre. The depiction of animal characters combining traits both bestial and human is the basic characteristic of the fables. In the simple exempla or in heavily didactic or satirical narratives, the characterization is not developed beyond what is necessary to clarify the implications for the human world. The best fables, however, develop the ironies of fable characterization, usually in a comic way, into lively and entertaining animal tales that reflect in various ways upon the human beings who serve as models for the characters. Although the Middle English animal fable includes brief narratives in the style of the Aesopic apologue as well as lengthier poems similar to the continental beast epic cycles, the common manner of portraying animals and developing the portrayals is to be found in all. The fables of Lydgate, Henryson and Chaucer combine basic Aesopic plots with beast epic characteristics. The animal fable in the hands of Middle English writers, while initially an imitative genre relying upon reworkings of Classical models, becomes a well-developed and highly entertaining form of narrative poetry.

description: To evaluate electrostatics interactions, Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations rely on Particle Mesh Ewald (PME), an O(Nlog(N)) algorithm that uses Fast Fourier Transforms (FFTs) or, alternatively, on O(N) Fast Multipole Methods (FMM) approaches. However, the FFTs low scalability remains a strong bottleneck for large-scale PME simulations on supercomputers. On the opposite, - FFT-free - FMM techniques are able to deal efficiently with such systems but they fail to reach PME performances for small- to medium-size systems, limiting their real-life applicability. We propose ANKH, a strategy grounded on interpolated Ewald summations and designed to remain efficient/scalable for any size of systems. The method is generalized for distributed point multipoles and so for induced dipoles which makes it suitable for high performance simulations using new generation polarizable force fields towards exascale computing.

description: The azimuthal correlation, $Δϕ_{12}$, of high transverse momentum jets in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV is studied by applying PB-TMD distributions to NLO calculations via MCatNLO together with the PB-TMD parton shower. A very good description of the cross section as a function of $Δϕ_{12}$ is observed. In the back-to-back region of $Δϕ_{12} \to π$, a very good agreement is observed with the PB-TMD Set 2 distributions while significant deviations are obtained with the PB-TMD Set 1 distributions. Set 1 uses the evolution scale while Set 2 uses transverse momentum as an argument in $α_s$, and the above observation therefore confirms the importance of an appropriate soft-gluon coupling in angular ordered parton evolution. The total uncertainties of the predictions are dominated by the scale uncertainties of the matrix element, while the uncertainties coming from the PB-TMDs and the corresponding PB-TMD shower are very small. The $Δϕ_{12}$ measurements are also compared with predictions using MCatNLO together PYTHIA8, illustrating the importance of details of the parton shower evolution.
