description: We analyze the electronic structure of the recently synthesized higher-order nickelate Ruddlesden-Popper phases La$_{n+1}$Ni$_n$O$_{3n+1}$ ($n=4-6$) using first-principles calculations. For all materials, our results show large holelike Fermi surfaces with $d_{x^2-y^2}$ character that closely resemble those of optimally hole-doped cuprates. For higher values of $n$, extra non-cuprate-like bands of $d_{z^2}$ orbital character appear. These aspects highlight that this Ruddlesden-Popper series can provide a means to modify the electronic ground states of nickelates by tuning their dimensionality. With their similarities and differences to the cuprates, this new family of materials can potentially shed light on the physics of copper-based oxides.

description: The Opportunity Atlas: Mapping the Childhood Roots of Social Mobility, compiled by Opportunity Insights, served as the source data used in the construction of this National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (Add Health) data file. This file enhances the existing Add Health contextual database through the addition of measures essential to understanding the determinants and sequelae of socioeconomic mobility. Specifically, it aims to characterize the socioeconomic mobility of Add Health participants at Wave I, IV, and V. Though the included variables report the mobility of people born from 1980 to 1991 at the U.S. tract- and county-levels and, therefore, remain constant across the waves of Add Health, the locations inhabited by respondents typically vary from wave to wave. In other words, these data provide measures of the opportunities for socioeconomic mobility for similarly aged people residing in the same tract or county as the Add Health respondent at a given wave. The timing of the mobility measures, however, remains invariant across waves.

description: The Web has made it possible to harness human cognition en masse to achieve new capabilities. Some of these successes are well known; for example Wikipedia has become the go-to place for basic information on all things; Duolingo engages millions of people in real-life translation of text, while simultaneously teaching them to speak foreign languages; and fold.it has enabled public-driven scientific discoveries by recasting complex biomedical challenges into popular online puzzle games. These and other early successes hint at the tremendous potential for future crowd-powered capabilities for the benefit of health, education, science, and society. In the process, a new field called Human Computation has emerged to better understand, replicate, and improve upon these successes through scientific research. Human Computation refers to the science that underlies online crowd-powered systems and was the topic of a recent visioning activity in which a representative cross-section of researchers, industry practitioners, visionaries, funding agency representatives, and policy makers came together to understand what makes crowd-powered systems successful. Teams of experts considered past, present, and future human computation systems to explore which kinds of crowd-powered systems have the greatest potential for societal impact and which kinds of research will best enable the efficient development of new crowd-powered systems to achieve this impact. This report summarize the products and findings of those activities as well as the unconventional process and activities employed by the workshop, which were informed by human computation research.

description: Wool and mohair have been declining industries. Sheep inventories are a fifth of their World War II level; goat numbers are a third of their mid-1960’s level. Economic recession and ample global supplies of wool and mohair lowered prices of these fibers and reduced net returns of farmers in the early 1980’s. Government payments to wool producers were record high in 1983. Policymakers have had limited control over wool program costs given the formula-based Government support price, the trend of declining textile market share, rising raw wool and wool textile imports, stagnant lamb and mutton consumption, and the dominance of Australia and New Zealand in the world wool market. Issues for 1985 include whether to continue the program, and if so, the level and method of adjusting support prices.

description: Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a heterogeneous disease, commonly described by cell-of-origin (COO) molecular subtypes. We sought to identify novel patient subgroups through an unsupervised analysis of a large public dataset of gene expression profiles from newly diagnosed de novo DLBCL patients, yielding 2 biologically distinct subgroups characterized by differences in the tumor microenvironment. Pathway analysis and immune deconvolution algorithms identified higher B-cell content and a strong proliferative signal in subgroup A and enriched T-cell, macrophage, and immune/inflammatory signals in subgroup B, reflecting similar biology to published DLBCL stratification research. A gene expression classifier, featuring 26 gene expression scores, was derived from the public dataset to discriminate subgroup A (classifier-negative, immune-low) and subgroup B (classifier-positive, immune-high) patients. Subsequent application to an independent series of diagnostic biopsies replicated the subgroups, with immune cell composition confirmed via immunohistochemistry. Avadomide, a CRL4CRBN E3 ubiquitin ligase modulator, demonstrated clinical activity in relapsed/refractory DLBCL patients, independent of COO subtypes. Given the immunomodulatory activity of avadomide and the need for a patient-selection strategy, we applied the gene expression classifier to pretreatment biopsies from relapsed/refractory DLBCL patients receiving avadomide (NCT01421524). Classifier-positive patients exhibited an enrichment in response rate and progression-free survival of 44% and 6.2 months vs 19% and 1.6 months for classifier-negative patients (hazard ratio, 0.49; 95% confidence interval, 0.280-0.86; P = .0096). The classifier was not prognostic for rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisone or salvage immunochemotherapy. The classifier described here discriminates DLBCL tumors based on tumor and nontumor composition and has potential utility to enrich for clinical response to immunomodulatory agents, including avadomide.

description: Dispersal is a key process in ecology and evolutionary biology, as it shapes biodiversity patterns over space and time. Mounting evidence is showing that attitude to disperse is unevenly distributed among individuals within animal populations, and that individual personality can have pivotal roles in the shaping of this attitude. Here, we contribute to the study of the genetic underpinnings of dispersal-related behavioral variation by assembling and annotating the first de novo transcriptome of the head tissues of Salamandra salamandra. Although dispersal occurs mostly during the post-metamorphic terrestrial life stage in this species, variation in dispersal-related personality traits is already evident at the aquatic larval stage, making it an excellent candidate species for studies of carry-over effects. We employed a structured pipeline to de-novo assemble and annotate transcripts from RNA-Seq in a set of individuals representative of distinct behavioral profiles. We obtained 1,153,432,918 reads, which were successfully de novo assembled and annotated. The high-quality assembly was confirmed by comparing BUSCO, DETONATE and TransRate with the S. salamandra dataset. By aligning the contigs against the de novo transcriptome we obtained a percentage of mapping higher than 94%. The homology annotation performed with DIAMOND led to 153,048 (blastx) and 95,942 (blastp) shared contigs, annotated on NCBI nr, Swiss-Prot and TrEMBL. The domain and site protein prediction made with InterProScan led to 9850 GO-annotated contigs. This de-novo transcriptome represents reliable reference for whole transcriptome and proteome studies of other amphibians, for designing primers to clone specific genes or monitor their expression, and for analyzing comparative gene expression profiles between alternative behavioral types.

description: To better characterize the global star formation (SF) activity in a galaxy, one needs to know not only the star formation rate (SFR) but also the rest-frame, far-infrared (FIR) color (e.g., the 60-to-100 $μ$m color, $C(60/100)$] of the dust emission. The latter probes the average intensity of the dust heating radiation field and scales statistically with the effective SFR surface density in star-forming galaxies including (ultra-)luminous infrared galaxies [(U)LIRGs]. To this end, we exploit here a new spectroscopic approach involving only two emission lines: CO\,(7$-$6) at 372 $μ$m and [NII] at 205 $μ$m. For local (U)LIRGs, the ratios of the CO (7$-$6) luminosity ($L_{\rm CO\,(7-6)}$) to the total infrared luminosity ($L_{\rm IR}$; 8$-$1000 $μ$m) are fairly tightly distributed (to within $\sim$0.12 dex) and show little dependence on $C(60/100)$. This makes $L_{\rm CO\,(7-6)}$ a good SFR tracer, which is less contaminated by active galactic nuclei (AGN) than $L_{\rm IR}$ and may also be much less sensitive to metallicity than $L_{\rm CO\,(1-0)}$. Furthermore, the logarithmic [NII] 205 $μ$m to CO (7$-$6) luminosity ratio is fairly steeply (at a slope of $\sim$$-1.4$) correlated with $C(60/100)$, with a modest scatter ($\sim$0.23 dex). This makes it a useful estimator on $C(60/100)$ with an implied uncertainty of $\sim$0.15 [or $\lesssim$4 K in the dust temperature ($T_{\rm dust}$) in the case of a graybody emission with $T_{\rm dust} \gtrsim 30$ K and a dust emissivity index $β\ge 1$]. Our locally calibrated SFR and $C(60/100)$ estimators are shown to be consistent with the published data of (U)LIRGs of $z$ up to $\sim$6.5.

description: Recent Zika virus (ZIKV) outbreaks and unexpected clinical manifestations of ZIKV infection have prompted an increase in ZIKV-related research. Here, we identify two strain-specific determinants of ZIKV virulence in mice. We found that strain H/PF/2013 caused 100% lethality in Ifnar1-/- mice, whereas PRVABC59 caused no lethality; both strains caused 100% lethality in Ifnar1-/- Ifngr1-/- doubleknockout (DKO) mice. Deep sequencing revealed a high-frequency variant in PRVABC59 not present in H/PF/2013: A G-to-T change at nucleotide 1965 producing a Val-to-Leu substitution at position 330 of the viral envelope (E) protein. We show that the V330 variant is lethal on both virus strain backgrounds, whereas the L330 variant is attenuating only on the PRVABC59 background. These results identify a balanced polymorphism in the E protein that is sufficient to attenuate the PRVABC59 strain but not H/PF/2013. The consensus sequences of H/PF/2013 and PRVABC59 differ by 3 amino acids, but these were not responsible for the difference in virulence between the two strains. H/PF/2013 and PRVABC59 differ by an additional 31 noncoding or silent nucleotide changes. We made a panel of chimeric viruses with identical amino acid sequences but nucleotide sequences derived from H/PF/2013 or PRVABC59. We found that 6 nucleotide differences in the 3= quarter of the H/PF/ 2013 genome were sufficient to confer virulence in Ifnar1-/- mice. Altogether, our work identifies a large and previously unreported difference in virulence between two commonly used ZIKV strains, in two widely used mouse models of ZIKV pathogenesis (Ifnar1-/- and Ifnar1-/- Ifngr1-/- DKO mice).

description: Plants grow within a complex web of species that interact with each other and with the plant1–10. These interactions are governed by a wide repertoire of chemical signals, and the resulting chemical landscape of the rhizosphere can strongly affect root health and development7–9,11–18. Here, to understand how interactions between microorganisms influence root growth in Arabidopsis, we established a model system for interactions between plants, microorganisms and the environment. We inoculated seedlings with a 185-member bacterial synthetic community, manipulated the abiotic environment and measured bacterial colonization of the plant. This enabled us to classify the synthetic community into four modules of co-occurring strains. We deconstructed the synthetic community on the basis of these modules, and identified interactions between microorganisms that determine root phenotype. These interactions primarily involve a single bacterial genus (Variovorax), which completely reverses the severe inhibition of root growth that is induced by a wide diversity of bacterial strains as well as by the entire 185-member community. We demonstrate that Variovorax manipulates plant hormone levels to balance the effects of our ecologically realistic synthetic root community on root growth. We identify an auxin-degradation operon that is conserved in all available genomes of Variovorax and is necessary and sufficient for the reversion of root growth inhibition. Therefore, metabolic signal interference shapes bacteria–plant communication networks and is essential for maintaining the stereotypic developmental programme of the root. Optimizing the feedbacks that shape chemical interaction networks in the rhizosphere provides a promising ecological strategy for developing more resilient and productive crops.

description: The concept of virality and the structure of social media networks lend themselves to the use of SIR-like compartment models to study the spread of ideas between users on these platforms. This paper introduces the USBA (Unexposed, Sending, Bored, and Acclimated) family of discrete compartment models as a means of simulating how ideas reach and affect users and change the network structure, leading to the formation of echo chambers and polarization in sentiment.

description: Women have a higher risk of developing stress-related disorders compared to men and the experience of a stressful life event is a potent risk-factor. The rodent literature suggests that chronic exposure to stressors as well as 17β-estradiol (E2) can result in alterations in neuronal structure in corticolimbic brain regions, however the translation of these data to humans is limited by the nature of the stressor experienced and issues of brain homology. To address these limitations, we used a well-validated rhesus monkey model of social subordination to examine effects of E2 treatment on subordinate (high stress) and dominant (low stress) female brain structure, including regional gray matter and white matter volumes using structural magnetic resonance imaging. Our results show that one month of E2 treatment in ovariectomized females, compared to control (no) treatment, decreased frontal cortex gray matter volume regardless of social status. In contrast, in the cingulate cortex, an area associated with stress-induced emotional processing, E2 decreased grey matter volume in subordinates but increased it in dominant females. Together these data suggest that physiologically relevant levels of E2 alter cortical gray matter volumes in females after only one month of treatment and interact with chronic social stress to modulate these effects on brain structure.

description: The U.S. wheat sector has faced excess supplies so far in the 1980's and faces slow growth in exports for the near future. Even so, wheat production has remained large. Yields are rising and wheat can be grown at low cost both in the Great Plains and Southeast, where it is double-cropped with soybeans. None of the many farm policies employed in past years have succeeded in preventing periodic wheat surpluses or in reducing them without great expense. Issues for 1985 farm legislation include the level and flexibility of income and price supports, ways of increasing exports, and purpose and size of wheat reserves.
On the reach of perturbative descriptions for dark matter displacement fields

description: We study Lagrangian Perturbation Theory (LPT) and its regularization in the Effective Field Theory (EFT) approach. We evaluate the LPT displacement with the same phases as a corresponding $N$-body simulation, which allows us to compare perturbation theory to the non-linear simulation with significantly reduced cosmic variance, and provides a more stringent test than simply comparing power spectra. We reliably detect a non-vanishing leading order EFT coefficient and a stochastic displacement term, uncorrelated with the LPT terms. This stochastic term is expected in the EFT framework, and, to the best of our understanding, is not an artifact of numerical errors or transients in our simulations. This term constitutes a limit to the accuracy of perturbative descriptions of the displacement field and its phases, corresponding to a $1\%$ error on the non-linear power spectrum at $k=0.2 h$/Mpc at $z=0$. Predicting the displacement power spectrum to higher accuracy or larger wavenumbers thus requires a model for the stochastic displacement.

description: Cloud computing has been regarded as a successful paradigm for IT industry by providing benefits for both service providers and customers. In spite of the advantages, cloud computing also suffers from distinct challenges, and one of them is the inefficient resource provisioning for dynamic workloads. Accurate workload predictions for cloud computing can support efficient resource provisioning and avoid resource wastage. However, due to the high-dimensional and high-variable features of cloud workloads, it is difficult to predict the workloads effectively and accurately. The current dominant work for cloud workload prediction is based on regression approaches or recurrent neural networks, which fail to capture the long-term variance of workloads. To address the challenges and overcome the limitations of existing works, we proposed an efficient supervised learning-based Deep Neural Network (esDNN}) approach for cloud workload prediction. Firstly, we utilize a sliding window to convert the multivariate data into supervised learning time series that allow deep learning for processing. Then we apply a revised Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) to achieve accurate prediction. To show the effectiveness of esDNN, we also conduct comprehensive experiments based on realistic traces derived from Alibaba and Google cloud data centers. The experimental results demonstrate that esDNN can accurately and efficiently predict cloud workloads. Compared with the state-of-the-art baselines, esDNN can reduce the mean square errors significantly, e.g. 15% than the approach using GRU only. We also apply esDNN for machines auto-scaling, which illustrates that esDNN can reduce the number of active hosts efficiently, thus the costs of service providers can be optimized.

Walking on the Ladder: 125 GeV Technidilaton, or Conformal Higgs -Dedicated to the late Professor Yoichiro Nambu-

description: The walking technicolor based on the ladder Schwinger-Dyson gap equation is studied, with the scale-invariant coupling being an idealization of the Caswell-Banks-Zaks infrared fixed point in the "anti-Veneziano limit", such that $N_C \rightarrow \infty$ with $N_C \cdot α(μ^2)=$ fixed and $N_F/N_C=$ fixed ($\gg 1$), of the $SU(N_C)$ gauge theory with massless $N_F$ flavors near criticality. We show that the 125 GeV Higgs can be naturally identified with the technidilaton (TD) predicted in the walking technicolor, a pseudo Nambu-Goldstone (NG) boson of the spontaneous symmetry breaking of the approximate scale symmetry. Ladder calculations yield the TD mass $M_ϕ$ from the trace anomaly as $M_ϕ^2 F_ϕ^2= -4 \langle θ_μ^μ\rangle = - \frac{β(α(μ^2))}{α(μ^2)}\, \langle G_{λν}^2(μ^2)\rangle \simeq N_C N_F\frac{16}{π^4} m_F^4$, independently of the renormalization point $μ$, where $m_F$ is the dynamical mass of the technifermion, and $F_ϕ={\cal O} (\sqrt{N_F N_C}\, m_F)$ the TD decay constant. It reads $M_ϕ^2\simeq (\frac{v_{\rm EW}}{2} \cdot \frac{5 v_{\rm EW}}{F_ϕ})^2 \cdot [\frac{8}{N_F}\frac{4}{N_C}]$, ($v_{\rm EW}=246$ GeV), which implies $F_ϕ\simeq 5 \,v_{\rm EW} $ for $M_ϕ\simeq 125\, {\rm GeV}\simeq \frac{1}{2} v_{\rm EW}$ in the one-family model ($N_C=4, N_F=8$), in good agreement with the current LHC Higgs data. The result reflects a generic scaling $ M_ϕ^2/v_{\rm EW}^2\sim M_ϕ^2/F_ϕ^2 \sim m_F^2 /F_ϕ^2 \sim 1/(N_F N_C) \rightarrow 0 $ as a vanishing trace anomaly, namely the TD has a mass vanishing in the anti-Veneziano limit, similarly to $η^\prime$ meson as a pseudo-NG boson of the ordinary QCD with vanishing $U(1)_A$ anomaly in the Veneziano limit ($N_F/N_C \ll 1$).

Making the Case for Planning Analysts: A Study for North Carolina Localities
Creators: name: Haygood, Hallee
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: This project considers whether an analyst within city and county departments would be beneficial to its growth and success. An individual in this role could address roles of budget preparation, strategic planning, special projects, and more. A variety of departments currently have this type of position, and this paper outlines the recommendations for this position. In addition, it clarifies that based on qualitative interviews, it may not be necessary for all planning departments. Typically, those with over 250,000 people benefit the most from these positions. Municipalities like Raleigh, Durham, and Wake County were the most interested in this opportunity. As such, I recommend that localities consider adding these positions, and their benefits can be further studied.

description: We study the Stokes problem in a bounded planar domain $Ω$ with a friction type boundary condition that switches between a slip and no-slip stage. Unlike our previous work [6], in the present paper the threshold value may depend on the velocity field. Besides the usual velocity-pressure formulation, we introduce an alternative formulation with three Lagrange multipliers which allows a more flexible treatment of the impermeability condition as well as optimum design problems with cost functions depending on the shear and/or normal stress. Our main goal is to determine under which conditions concerning smoothness of $Ω$, solutions to the Stokes system depend continuously on variations of $Ω$. Having this result at our disposal, we easily prove the existence of a solution to optimal shape design problems for a large class of cost functionals.
