description: Quantum magnonics is an emerging research field, with great potential for applications in magnon based hybrid systems and quantum information processing. Quantum correlation, such as entanglement, is a central resource in many quantum information protocols that naturally comes about in any study toward quantum technologies. This applies also to quantum magnonics. Here, we investigate antiferromagnets in which sublattices with ferromagnetic interactions can have two different magnon modes, and we show how this may lead to experimentally detectable bipartite continuous variable magnon-magnon entanglement. The entanglement can be fully characterized via a single squeezing parameter, or, equivalently, entanglement parameter. The clear relation between the entanglement parameter and the Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen (EPR) function of the ground state opens up for experimental observation of magnon-magnon continuous variable entanglement and EPR non-locality. We propose a practical experimental realization to detect the EPR function of the ground state, in a setting that relies on magnon-photon interaction in a microwave cavity.

description: It is recognized that anthropogenic factors have had a major impact on carbon fluxes from land to the ocean during the past two centuries. However, little is known about how future changes in climate, atmospheric CO2, and land use may affect riverine carbon fluxes over the 21st century. Using a coupled hydrological-biogeochemical model, the Dynamic Land Ecosystem Model, this study examines potential changes in dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) export from the Mississippi River basin to the Gulf of Mexico during 2010-2099 attributable to climate-related conditions (temperature and precipitation), atmospheric CO2, and land use change. Rates of annual DIC export are projected to increase by 65% under the high emission scenario (A2) and 35% under the low emission scenario (B1) between the 2000s and the 2090s. Climate-related changes along with rising atmospheric CO2 together would account for over 90% of the total increase in DIC export throughout the 21st century. The predicted increase in DIC export from the Mississippi River basin would alter chemistry of the coastal ocean unless appropriate climate mitigation actions are taken in the near future.

description: This paper addresses the problem of compression of 3D point cloud sequences that are characterized by moving 3D positions and color attributes. As temporally successive point cloud frames are similar, motion estimation is key to effective compression of these sequences. It however remains a challenging problem as the point cloud frames have varying numbers of points without explicit correspondence information. We represent the time-varying geometry of these sequences with a set of graphs, and consider 3D positions and color attributes of the points clouds as signals on the vertices of the graphs. We then cast motion estimation as a feature matching problem between successive graphs. The motion is estimated on a sparse set of representative vertices using new spectral graph wavelet descriptors. A dense motion field is eventually interpolated by solving a graph-based regularization problem. The estimated motion is finally used for removing the temporal redundancy in the predictive coding of the 3D positions and the color characteristics of the point cloud sequences. Experimental results demonstrate that our method is able to accurately estimate the motion between consecutive frames. Moreover, motion estimation is shown to bring significant improvement in terms of the overall compression performance of the sequence. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first paper that exploits both the spatial correlation inside each frame (through the graph) and the temporal correlation between the frames (through the motion estimation) to compress the color and the geometry of 3D point cloud sequences in an efficient way.

description: Multi-label image classification (MLIC) is a fundamental and practical task, which aims to assign multiple possible labels to an image. In recent years, many deep convolutional neural network (CNN) based approaches have been proposed which model label correlations to discover semantics of labels and learn semantic representations of images. This paper advances this research direction by improving both the modeling of label correlations and the learning of semantic representations. On the one hand, besides the local semantics of each label, we propose to further explore global semantics shared by multiple labels. On the other hand, existing approaches mainly learn the semantic representations at the last convolutional layer of a CNN. But it has been noted that the image representations of different layers of CNN capture different levels or scales of features and have different discriminative abilities. We thus propose to learn semantic representations at multiple convolutional layers. To this end, this paper designs a Multi-layered Semantic Representation Network (MSRN) which discovers both local and global semantics of labels through modeling label correlations and utilizes the label semantics to guide the semantic representations learning at multiple layers through an attention mechanism. Extensive experiments on four benchmark datasets including VOC 2007, COCO, NUS-WIDE, and Apparel show a competitive performance of the proposed MSRN against state-of-the-art models.

description: A unique view of the trapped particles in the inner magnetosphere provided by energetic neutral atom (ENA) imaging is used to observe the dynamics of the spatial structure and the pitch angle anisotropy on a global scale during the last 6h of the main phase of a large geomagnetic storm (minimum SYM-H=-230nT) that began on 17 March 2015. Ion flux and pressure anisotropy obtained from Two Wide-angle Imaging Neutral-atom Spectrometers (TWINS) ENA images are shown. The ion flux shows two peaks, an inner one at approximately radii=3-4 R-E in the dusk-to-midnight sector and an outer peak at radii=8-9 R-E prior to midnight. The inner peak is relatively stationary during the entire period with some intensification during the final steep decline in SYM-H to its minimum. The outer peak shows the significant temporal variation brightening and dimming and finally disappearing at the end of the main phase. The pressure anisotropy shows the expected perpendicular pitch angles inside of L=6 but shows parallel pitch angles at greater L values. This is interpreted as consistent with pitch angle-dependent drift as modeled in the Tsy05 magnetic field and Comprehensive Inner Magnetosphere-Ionosphere simulations. The TWINS results are compared directly with Radiation Belt Storm Probes Ion Composition Experiment (RBSPICE)-A measurements. Using 15min snapshots of flux and pressure anisotropy from TWINS along the path of RBSPICE-A during the 6h focused upon in this study, the essential features displayed in the TWINS global images are supported.
An IMU-Enabled Camera Rig for Wide-Range Stereo Videography in the Field
Creators: name: Lohmann, Amanda
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: In stereo videography, two or more cameras are used to film the same scene from
different positions, and then the information from those camera views is combined to
reconstruct the 3D positions of objects in the scene. Previous stereo videography set-ups in biomechanics research have required that the cameras remain fixed and stationary throughout the duration of filming. We built a rig with two GoPro cameras mounted on a rotatable tripod that can be used to film in the field. Our rig can be rotated to follow animals or other moving objects in the scene and can record from a wide spatial area at better resolutions than previous set-ups. An inertial measurement unit (IMU) mounted on the rig records acceleration, magnetic field, and angular velocity. We use a Kalman filter to fuse data from these inertial sensors to determine orientation of the rig at every frame during video recordings. Using these orientations, we then transform 3D points from each frame onto a single set of global coordinates. Our rig enables us to rotate our cameras to film a wide area, and then remove that rotation from 3D information extracted from the video, giving us the 3D points a stationary observer would have seen.
Overlap of the plasmasphere and ring current: Relation to subauroral ionospheric heating

description: The overlap of the ring current with the outer plasmasphere is thought to play a major role in storm-time related increases in the subauroral ambient topside electron temperature. Instabilities generated within the overlap region, Coulomb collisions of plasmaspheric electrons with the ring current ions, and charge exchange are all thought to work either individually or together to generate a downward heat flux into the ionosphere to produce the increase in temperature. Analysis of IMAGE two-dimensional ring current and plasmasphere density maps together with in situ DMSP ambient electron temperature data shows that the heating generally occurs over a small radial extent within the plasmasphere/ring current overlap region and may be significantly earthward of the plasmapause. This argues against collisional heat conduction as the source of the heat flux and for an instability-based process. The finding that the heating occurs within well-defined ratios of the cold plasmasphere to hot ring current density strengthens this supposition.

description: Many professional and self-help organizations (e.g. ASHA and SFA) present advice to lengthen the time between speaking turns in early parent-child interactions in an effort to assist the child who stutters (CWS). However, only a very limited amount of research conducted using small numbers of children supports the suggestion that structured turn-taking may have the ability to reduce the number of disfluencies produced by the child who stutters. In addition, the longitudinal effect of increasing the length between speaking turns has yet to be analyzed; Hence, we do not know whether the suggestion to increase the time between speaking turns has any effect on the persistence or recovery from stuttering. Our study aims to look at this advice at stuttering onset in a longitudinal study by analyzing mother-child play interactions in 80 files containing children and their mothers (now archived at FluencyBank) for whom stuttering outcomes are known.
A Decreased Endogenous IFNβ Biological Effect May Contribute to the Development of the Autoimmune Response in Patients with Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis

description: Interferon-Beta (IFNβ) is a cytokine, or glycoprotein, which is released by virtually all cell subsets in response to viral and bacterial pathogens. It has been used as a therapy to suppress multiple sclerosis (MS) disease activity for approximately 20 years. The purpose of this study was to characterize the role of endogenous, or internally produced, IFNβ in the development of the autoimmune response in this disease by evaluating its biological activity in the serum of patients with relapsing-remitting (RR) MS in comparison to healthy controls (HC). The results of a sensitive cell-based bioassay showed reduced expression of the interferon-inducible genes, myxovirus resistance 1 (MX1) and protein kinase RNA regulated protein (PRKR), in RRMS serum-treated WISH cells, suggesting a deficient endogenous IFNβ biological activity in RRMS patients in comparison to HCs. This study will enable physicians to identify patients with lower endogenous IFNβ levels who will optimally respond to IFNβ-1a treatment.

description: Context. The solar chromosphere is the interface between the solar surface and the solar corona. Modelling of this region is difficult because it represents the transition from optically thick to thin radiation escape, from gas-pressure domination to magnetic-pressure domination, from a neutral to an ionised state, from MHD to plasma physics, and from near-equilibrium (LTE) to non-equilibrium conditions. Aims. Our aim is to provide the community with realistic simulations of the magnetic solar outer atmosphere. This will enable detailed comparison of existing and upcoming observations with synthetic observables from the simulations, thereby elucidating the complex interactions of magnetic fields and plasma that are crucial for our understanding of the dynamic outer atmosphere. Methods. We used the radiation magnetohydrodynamics code Bifrost to perform simulations of a computational volume with a magnetic field topology similar to an enhanced network area on the Sun. Results. The full simulation cubes are made available online. The general properties of the simulation are discussed, and limitations are discussed.

description: The tourism industry is characterised by a highly competitive global market. Research suggests networks and clusters are efficient tools providing a framework for small and medium-sized tourism enterprises with opportunities to operate in this competitive environment. The purpose of this paper is to explore the potential contribution of clusters and networks in the field of rural tourism business. A review of the literature on the contribution of clusters to tourism destination and tourism business management and marketing is followed by three case studies of rural tourism-related projects in Greece. These case studies focus on the main management and marketing issues. Various management and marketing issues are investigated; the achievements and problems are stressed, and the factors crucial to the success of these rural tourism business clusters are identified. The paper provides recommendations for local planners and destination managers to enable them to successfully operate such alliances.

Particle-in-Cell Simulations of the Fast Magnetosonic Mode in a Dipole Magnetic Field: 1-D Along the Radial Direction

Publisher: name: American Geophysical Union

description: An electromagnetic particle-in-cell code is used to investigate self-consistent evolution of the fast magnetosonic mode in a one-dimensional configuration along the radial direction in a dipole background magnetic field. A previous observation of this wave mode is used to select the simulation parameters. A partial shell velocity distribution of energetic protons with a moderate pitch angle anisotropy is used to excite the waves self-consistently. Consistent with local linear theory analysis, wave growth occurs only at exact harmonics of the local proton cyclotron frequency, Omega(p). However, radial propagation quickly removes the waves from the region where they can grow, leading to a time scale of wave amplification much longer than that predicted by linear theory. In addition, radial propagation from multiple wave sources makes the frequency spectrum measured at a single point much broader. The warm background plasma plays an important role in two ways. First, it increases the phase speed of the fast magnetosonic mode; and second, it causes the breakup of the extraordinary mode dispersion relation in the vicinity of the harmonics, where the broken dispersion curves are connected with multiple ion Bernstein modes. In this case, the waves propagating radially are absorbed at locations where their frequency reaches integer multiples of Omega(p) and background protons experience perpendicular heating at those locations.

description: Robust vision restoration of underwater images remains a challenge. Owing to the lack of well-matched underwater and in-air images, unsupervised methods based on the cyclic generative adversarial framework have been widely investigated in recent years. However, when using an end-to-end unsupervised approach with only unpaired image data, mode collapse could occur, and the color correction of the restored images is usually poor. In this paper, we propose a data- and physics-driven unsupervised architecture to perform underwater image restoration from unpaired underwater and in-air images. For effective color correction and quality enhancement, an underwater image degeneration model must be explicitly constructed based on the optically unambiguous physics law. Thus, we employ the Jaffe-McGlamery degeneration theory to design a generator and use neural networks to model the process of underwater visual degeneration. Furthermore, we impose physical constraints on the scene depth and degeneration factors for backscattering estimation to avoid the vanishing gradient problem during the training of the hybrid physical-neural model. Experimental results show that the proposed method can be used to perform high-quality restoration of unconstrained underwater images without supervision. On multiple benchmarks, the proposed method outperforms several state-of-the-art supervised and unsupervised approaches. We demonstrate that our method yields encouraging results in real-world applications.

The Hybridized Identity of Marie-Antoinette

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2014

description: A diatribe against Marie-Antoinette originated in France during the mid-eighteenth-century and has carried on into present day discourse. Sadly, our views of Marie-Antoinette tend to be shaped by two hundred year-old opinions that were likely not fully accurate. So who was Marie-Antoinette? Over the past century, more and more scholars, biographers, and filmmakers have attempted to answer this question. Yet have we received a proper depiction of Marie-Antoinette or are we still presented with a representation that communicates the past condemnations of eighteenth-century France? Is it possible that Marie-Antoinette was the foolish and thoughtless woman Norma Shearer played in the Stephan Zweig inspired biopic Marie-Antoinette? Or maybe she was the sweet, naive, and careless dauphine/queen who never fully understood the importance of her position that was depicted in Sofia Coppola’s film Marie-Antoinette. Similarly, Benoît Jacquot’s movie Farewell My Queen, based on Chantal Thomas’ book, also tried to offer its viewer a softer image of the queen, but Marie-Antoinette still came off as a selfish woman. Although all are excellent in their own way, they do not explore who Marie-Antoinette really was both before and after her arrival to France. These depictions fail to investigate how Marie-Antoinette was able to be both the archduchess of Austria and the dauphine and queen of France at the same time.
I am equally concerned that most eighteenth-century scholars have traditionally interpreted images of Marie-Antoinette after 1770 as representing a French aristocratic woman, dauphine, and queen. Their classification of Marie-Antoinette’s identity as solely French dismisses her childhood experiences in Austria and the deep-rooted effects her family, upbringing, and country had on the development of her adult identity. Like the French courtiers of 1770, historians regard Marie-Antoinette’s remise as the moment in which she completely surrendered her Austrian identity in exchange for her newly assigned role as dauphine of France. But how could Marie Antoinette be expected to abandon her Austrian identity upon demand? Can a ceremonial stripping of garments in which she retains nothing belonging to her former foreign court, actually erase her past? To answer these questions, my thesis will take an art historical approach to the connection between biographical accounts and visual representations to see how Marie-Antoinette as both the subject and patron fashioned her image. I will analyze artworks of Marie-Antoinette to present an image of her that was defined by and recognized through a combination of Austrian and French gender and social class ideologies.

description: The main goal of my secondary research is to study the topic of the impact of poverty on the life expectancy and mental health of Africans because information about this problem is rarely mentioned in the list of issues in Africa. Also, in most cases, similar problems are ignored in Africa. Based on criteria such as: what conditions the majority of the African population live in, how long Africans live on average, and what is the most common physical and psychological illness among Africans it is possible to measure the degree of achievement of the goal and understand that the goal is not too big and in within my capabilities. This helps to determine the attainability of my goal, since my goal is to collect information on the impact of poverty on the mental health and life expectancy of Africans, to study and analyze it, then this goal is considered achievable, since it is within my capabilities. This problem is considered natural, because it encompasses the goals of sustainable development and the same poverty bottom of the biggest problems not only in Africa, but around the world, because it negatively affects all spheres of life. But against the backdrop of the problem of poverty, problems like mental health and life expectancy are ignored, which further exacerbates the problem and shows how important and urgent the problem is.

description: An innovative approach to analyze the complexity of translating novel molecular entities and nanomaterials into pharmaceutical alternatives (i.e., knowledge translation, KT) is discussed. First, some key concepts on the organization and translation of the biomedical knowledge (paradigms, homophily, power law distributions, hierarchy, modularity, and research fronts) are reviewed. Then, we propose a model for the knowledge translation (KT) in Drug Discovery that considers the complexity of interdisciplinary communication. Specifically, we address two highly relevant aspects: 1) A successful KT requires the emergence of organized bodies of inter-and transdisciplinary research, and 2) The hierarchical and modular topological organization of these bodies of knowledge. We focused on a set of previously-published studies on KT which rely on a combination of network analysis and computer-assisted analysis of the contents of scientific literature and patents. The selected studies provide a duo of complementary perspectives: the demand of knowledge (cervical cancer and Ebola hemorrhagic fever) and the supply of knowledge (liposomes and nanoparticles to treat cancer and the paradigmatic Doxil, the first nanodrug to be approved).

description: Nearby Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) have been proposed as a possible cause of mass extinctions on Earth. Due to the higher event rate of GRBs at higher redshifts, it has been speculated that life as we know it may not survive above a certain redshift (e.g. $z>0.5$). We examine the duty cycle of lethal (life-threatening) GRBs in the solar neighborhood, in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) galaxies and GRB host galaxies, with the dependence of the long GRB rate on star formation and metallicity properly taken into account. We find that the number of lethal GRBs attacking Earth within the past 500 Myr ($\sim$ epoch of the Ordovician mass extinction) is $0.93$. The number of lethal GRBs hitting a certain planet increases with redshift, thanks to the increasing star formation rate and decreasing metallicity in high-$z$ galaxies. Taking 1 per 500 Myr as a conservative duty cycle for life to survive, as evidenced by our existence, we find that there are still a good fraction of SDSS galaxies beyond $z=0.5$ where the GRB rate at half-mass radius is lower than this value. We derive the fraction of such benign galaxies as a function of redshift through Monte Carlo simulations, and find that the fraction is $\sim 50\%$ at $z\sim 1.5$ and $\sim 10\%$ even at $z \sim 3$. The mass distribution of benign galaxies is dominated by Milky-Way-like ones, thanks to their commonness, relatively large mass, and low star formation rate. GRB host galaxies are among the most dangerous ones.

description: We introduce small-text, an easy-to-use active learning library, which offers pool-based active learning for single- and multi-label text classification in Python. It features numerous pre-implemented state-of-the-art query strategies, including some that leverage the GPU. Standardized interfaces allow the combination of a variety of classifiers, query strategies, and stopping criteria, facilitating a quick mix and match, and enabling a rapid and convenient development of both active learning experiments and applications. With the objective of making various classifiers and query strategies accessible for active learning, small-text integrates several well-known machine learning libraries, namely scikit-learn, PyTorch, and Hugging Face transformers. The latter integrations are optionally installable extensions, so GPUs can be used but are not required. Using this new library, we investigate the performance of the recently published SetFit training paradigm, which we compare to vanilla transformer fine-tuning, finding that it matches the latter in classification accuracy while outperforming it in area under the curve. The library is available under the MIT License at https://github.com/webis-de/small-text, in version 1.3.0 at the time of writing.

A Case Study of Global Brigades

description: When it came time to pick a topic for my Global Studies Honors Thesis, I immediately
knew that I wanted to study Global Brigades. I had spent essentially my whole undergraduate career volunteering for the organization, but I had a lot of ethical questions on how it compared to the concept of “voluntourism” and to other organizations that are in the same field. Through my classes and interactions with my fellow students, I was aware of the criticisms of “voluntourism” that involved the white savior complex, Western colonialism, unskilled volunteers, etc. So my goal was to see how Global Brigades measured up under this criticism broadly.
Deformations of hypersurfaces with non-constant Alexander polynomial

description: Let X be an irreducible hypersurface in $\mathbb{P}^n$ of degree $d\geq 3$ with only isolated semi-weighted homogeneous singularities, such that $exp(\frac{2πi}{k})$ is a zero of the Alexander polynomial. Then we show that the equianalytic deformation space of $X$ is not $T$-smooth except for a finite list of triples $(n,d,k)$. This result captures the very classical examples by B. Segre of families of degree $6m$ plane curves with $6m^2$, $7m^2$, $8m^2$ and $9m^2$ cusps, where $m\geq 3$. Moreover, we argue that many of the hypersurfaces with non-trivial Alexander polynomial are limits of constructions of hypersurfaces with not $T$-smooth deformation spaces. In many instances this description can be used to construct Alexander-equivalent Zariski pairs.

Observation of Aubry transition in finite atom chains via friction

description: The highly nonlinear many-body physics of a chain of mutually interacting atoms in contact with a periodic substrate gives rise to complex static and dynamical phenomena, such as structural phase transitions and friction. In the limit of an infinite chain incommensurate with the substrate, Aubry predicted a structural transition with increasing substrate potential, from the chain's intrinsic arrangement free to slide on the substrate, to a pinned arrangement favoring the substrate pattern. To date, the Aubry transition has not been observed. Here, using a chain of cold ions subject to a periodic optical potential we qualitatively and quantitatively establish a close relation between Aubry's sliding-to-pinned transition and superlubricity breaking in stick-slip friction. Using friction measurements with high spatial resolution and individual ion detection, we experimentally observe the Aubry transition and the onset of its hallmark fractal atomic arrangement. Notably, the observed critical lattice depth for a finite chain agrees well with the Aubry prediction for an infinite chain. Our results elucidate the connection between competing ordering patterns and superlubricity in nanocontacts - the elementary building blocks of friction.

The category of Silva spaces is not integral

description: We establish that the category of Silva spaces, aka LS-spaces, formed by countable inductive limits of Banach spaces with compact linking maps as objects and linear and continuous maps as morphisms, is not an integral category. The result carries over to the category of PLS-spaces, i.e., countable projective limits of LS-spaces -- which contains prominent spaces of analysis such as the space of distributions and the space of real analytic functions. As a consequence, we obtain that both categories neither have enough projective nor enough injective objects. All results hold true when 'compact' is replaced by 'weakly compact' or 'nuclear'. This leads to the categories of PLS-, PLS$_{\text{w}}$- and PLN-spaces, which are examples of 'inflation exact categories with admissible cokernels' as recently introduced by Henrard, Kvamme, van Roosmalen and the second-named author.

description: Background: Despite the intensive efforts to improve the diagnosis and therapy of sepsis over the last decade, the mortality of septic shock remains high and causes substantial socioeconomical burden of disease. The function of immune cells is time-of-day-dependent and is regulated by several circadian clock genes. This study aims to investigate whether the rhythmicity of clock gene expression is altered in patients with septic shock. Methods: This prospective pilot study was performed at the university hospital Charite-Universitatsmedizin Berlin, Department of Anesthesiology and Operative Intensive Care Medicine (CCM, CVK). We included 20 patients with septic shock between May 2014 and January 2018, from whom blood was drawn every 4 h over a 24-h period to isolate CD14-positive monocytes and to measure the expression of 17 clock and clock-associated genes. Of these patients, 3 whose samples expressed fewer than 8 clock genes were excluded from the final analysis. A rhythmicity score S-P was calculated, which comprises values between -1 (arrhythmic) and 1 (rhythmic), and expression data were compared to data of a healthy study population additionally. Results: 77% of the measured clock genes showed inconclusive rhythms, i.e., neither rhythmic nor arrhythmic. The clock genes NR1D1, NR1D2 and CRY2 were the most rhythmic, while CLOCK and ARNTL were the least rhythmic. Overall, the rhythmicity scores for septic shock patients were significantly (p < 0.0001) lower (0.23 +/- 0.26) compared to the control group (12 healthy young men, 0.70 +/- 0.18). In addition, the expression of clock genes CRY1, NR1D1, NR1D2, DBP, and PER2 was suppressed in septic shock patients and CRY2 was significantly upregulated compared to controls. Conclusion: Molecular rhythms in immune cells of septic shock patients were substantially altered and decreased compared to healthy young men. The decrease in rhythmicity was clock gene-dependent. The loss of rhythmicity and down-regulation of clock gene expression might be caused by sepsis and might further deteriorate immune responses and organ injury, but further studies are necessary to understand underlying pathophysiological mechanisms.
Urbanization and Breastfeeding Behaviors Across Two Generations of Mothers in the Philippines

description: The purpose of this research project was to ascertain how urbanization and other socioeconomic factors are associated with breastfeeding outcomes across two generations of mothers in the Philippines. Additionally, we aimed to assess whether the associations between urbanization, SES factors, and breastfeeding outcomes were different between the two generations. We found that after controlling for SES covariates, there were no real effects of urbanization on breastfeeding outcomes. Moreover, we discovered that education was negatively associated with breastfeeding outcomes in the first generation, but this association was not seen in the second generation. Additionally, maternal employment status was a more negative predictor of meeting breastfeeding guidelines in the younger generation. These findings showed that urbanization's association with breastfeeding outcomes covaries with the association between SES factors and breastfeeding outcomes and reinforces the recommendation that national governments such as that of the Philippines should introduce more legislation to encourage increased breastfeeding behaviors in the workplace.

description: We calculate the nonzero-temperature correction to the beta equilibrium condition in nuclear matter under neutron star merger conditions, in the temperature range $1\,$MeV$ < T \lesssim 5\,$MeV. We improve on previous work by using a consistent description of nuclear matter based on the IUF and SFHo relativistic mean field models. This includes using relativistic dispersion relations for the nucleons, which we show is essential in these models. We find that the nonzero-temperature correction can be of order $10$ to $20\,$MeV, and plays an important role in the correct calculation of Urca rates, which can be wrong by factors of $10$ or more if it is neglected.

description: The galactic center excess of gamma ray photons can be naturally explained by light Majorana fermions in combination with a pseudoscalar mediator. The NMSSM provides exactly these ingredients. We show that for neutralinos with a significant singlino component the galactic center excess can be linked to invisible decays of the Standard-Model-like Higgs at the LHC. We find predictions for invisible Higgs branching ratios in excess of 50 percent, easily accessible at the LHC. Constraining the NMSSM through GUT-scale boundary conditions only slightly affects this expectation. Our results complement earlier NMSSM studies of the galactic center excess, which link it to heavy Higgs searches at the LHC.
